What is BALT?

The Innovator Defined Wealth Shield ETF seeks to track the return of the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY), to a cap, and provide a measure of downside protection by seeking to buffer investors against losses. The ETF targets a 20% buffer every 3-month outcome period. The ETF can be held indefinitely, resetting at the end of each outcome period. Innovator Defined Outcome ETFs are the first ETFs that allow investors to take advantage of market growth while maintaining defined levels of buffers against loss. The ETFs are as tax-efficient as traditional ETFs due to a recent rule change allowing the in-kind trading of options. Although the ETF targets a 20% buffer, if may fall into a range of 15-20%; there is no guarantee that the buffer will be within this range or that the Fund will provide the buffer.
