FT Vest Laddered Buffer ETF

FT Vest Laddered Buffer ETF is an actively managed exchange-traded fund that seeks exposure to U.S. large-cap equities while aiming to moderate downside risk through a laddered portfolio of twelve FT Vest U.S. Equity Buffer ETFs. The fund’s structure is designed to spread outcome periods across the calendar, so different sleeves reset at different times and the portfolio maintains continuous exposure to the strategy. It primarily uses buffer ETF building blocks linked to the S&P 500, with each underlying fund targeting a capped upside profile and a buffer against the first portion of market losses over a defined period. FT Vest Laddered Buffer ETF is used by market participants looking for a systematic, rules-based way to combine broad U.S. equity participation with a defined-outcome framework. The fund is managed by First Trust and focuses on the U.S. large-cap segment of the equity market.
