Description: BUFB Innovator Laddered January 02, 2026
The Innovator Laddered Allocation Buffer ETF (BUFB) commits at least 80% of its net assets-including any borrowing-to the ETFs that compose its underlying index. The index employs a “laddered” strategy, spreading capital across multiple, similar ETFs that have staggered reset dates so that the portfolio is less exposed to the timing risk of a single reset point. Because the fund concentrates its holdings, it is classified as non-diversified.
Key metrics (as of the most recent filing) show an expense ratio of roughly 0.45% and assets under management around $200 million, indicating modest scale but sufficient liquidity for institutional investors. The fund’s performance is highly sensitive to the level of short-term interest rates, since reset dates often align with the yield curve; a rising Fed funds rate could compress the buffer’s upside while preserving downside protection. Additionally, the underlying ETFs tend to be weighted toward large-cap U.S. equities, so sector momentum in technology and consumer discretionary can materially affect the laddered returns.
