Performance quoted represents past performance, which is no guarantee of future results. Investment returns and principal value will fluctuate, so you may have a gain or loss when shares are sold. Current performance may be higher or lower than that quoted. Returns less than one year are cumulative. One cannot invest directly in an index. For the most recent month-end and standardized performance, click on the fund details link above.
Fund return and current outcome period values assume reinvestment of capital gain distributions, if any. Investors purchasing the fund intra-period will achieve a different defined outcome than those who entered on day one. The remaining cap represents the maximum return the fund can achieve at its current price. The index may need to rise higher or lower than the remaining cap before the remaining cap is realized. If the remaining buffer is greater than the fund's starting buffer, a portion of the buffer will be realized before the downside before buffer begins. After the downside before buffer has been realized, the final portion of the buffer will begin again.

The Funds have characteristics unlike many other traditional investment products and may not be suitable for all investors. For more information regarding whether an investment in the Funds is right for you, please see "Investor Suitability" in the prospectus.
There is no guarantee any investment strategy will achieve its objectives, generate profits or avoid loss. Payoff profiles are established upon inception date and options contract roll dates of the ETF. Investors purchasing units of the ETF in between these dates will experience different results, but within the parameters of the established payoff profile.
Conservative and Preservation is not a reference to the funds characteristics and is only intended to describe the risk tolerance an investor may have in the equity market, which is always more risky than actual products intended to preserve capital, such as money market funds. The funds seek to achieve their investment objective by investing in flex options, which carry significant risks.
ABOUT INNOVATOR BUFFER ETFS™

DOWNSIDE BUFFERS
