Description: FAUG FT Cboe Vest U.S. Equity January 21, 2026

FAUG is a non-diversified, defined-outcome ETF that allocates virtually all of its capital to Flexible Exchange® (FLEX) options linked to the SPDR® S&P 500® ETF (SPY). These bespoke contracts let the manager set custom strike prices, option style and expiration, creating a built-in buffer that caps downside losses while limiting upside participation.

Key operating metrics (as of the latest filing) include an expense ratio of 0.55%, a 15% downside buffer with a 10% upside participation rate, and a typical 12-month option tenor. The underlying SPY is weighted ~57% to information technology, ~15% to health care and ~12% to consumer discretionary, so FAUG’s performance is heavily driven by those sectors.

Macro-level drivers that will influence the buffer’s effectiveness are the Federal Reserve’s policy stance (interest-rate trajectory and balance-sheet reductions) and the prevailing term structure of implied volatility on S&P 500 options. A sustained low-vol environment compresses option premiums, potentially narrowing the buffer’s protection, while a rise in inflation-linked rate hikes could increase market volatility and enhance the buffer’s value.

For a deeper, data-rich breakdown of how FAUG’s buffer mechanics compare to peers, you might find ValueRay’s analytical tools useful.
