ABUF
APTUS LADDERED BUFFER ETF
Single-Ticker Buffer ETF Solution
The Aptus Laddered Buffer ETF offers investors a way to stay in the market with confidence, providing mitigation against a portion of potential losses while still allowing for meaningful gains. The fund invests in a laddered portfolio of 4 Buffer ETFs that are each designed to protect against the first 15% of the market downturns, helping buffers reduce volatility while still allowing for some upside participation (for each fund’s respective outcome periods).
The rolling nature of the underlying ETFs creates diversification of investment time period compared to the risk of buying or selling any one underlying ETF at any one time. At any given time, the fund will generally hold one underlying ETF with FLEX options expiring in each quarter of the calendar year.
Why Consider ABUF?
- Total Return Potential through price appreciation from the SPDR S&P 500 ETF, subject to the caps of the underlying funds
- Risk Mitigation through ownership of put options
- Laddered Approach owns underlying funds at roughly equal weight to create diversification of investment time periods of each respective fund’s outcome period
Buffered funds have characteristics unlike many other traditional investment products and may not be suitable for all investors. Underlying Aptus Buffer Funds reset periodically, every 12 months, defining the buffer and cap for that specific year as stated by each respective fund’s strategy.
Fund Objectives

Cumulative return is the aggregate amount that an investment has gained or lost over time. Annualized Return is the average return gained or lost by an investment each year over a given time period. Performance is annualized for periods greater than 1 year.
Performance quoted represents past performance, which is no guarantee of future results. Investment return 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. Short-term performance in particular is not a good indication of the fund’s future performance and an investment should not be made solely on returns.
Market Price: The current price at which shares are bought and sold. Market returns are based upon the last trade price.
NAV: The dollar value of a single share, based on the value of the underlying assets of the fund minus its liabilities, divided by the number of shares outstanding. Calculated at the end of each business day.

A Fund will not terminate after the conclusion of the Investment Period. After the conclusion of an Investment Period with respect to a Fund, another will begin. There is no guarantee that the structured outcomes for an Investment Period will be realized.
The structured outcomes may only be realized if you are holding shares on the first day of an Investment Period and continue to hold them on the last day of that Investment Period. If you purchase shares after an Investment Period has begun or sell shares prior to an Investment Period’s conclusion, you may experience investment returns very different from those that the Fund seeks to provide. If the Investment Period has begun and the Fund has increased in value to a level near to the Cap (as defined below), an investor purchasing at that price has little or no ability to achieve gains but remains vulnerable to downside risks. Similarly, if the Investment Period has begun and the Fund has decreased in value beyond the pre-determined buffer (as described below), an investor purchasing shares at that price may not benefit from the buffer. There is no guarantee that a Fund will successfully achieve its investment objective.
Fund shareholders are subject to an upside return cap (the “Cap”) that represents the maximum percentage return an investor can achieve from an investment in a Fund for an Investment Period. Therefore, even though the Funds’ returns are based upon the Underlying ETF, if the Underlying ETF experiences returns for an Investment Period in excess of the Cap, you will not experience those excess gains. A Fund’s Cap may rise or fall from one Investment Period to the next. There is no guarantee that a Fund’s Cap will remain the same upon the conclusion of its Investment Period.
Unlike the Underlying ETFs, the Fund itself does not pursue a structured outcome strategy. The buffer is only provided by the Underlying ETFs and the Fund itself does not provide any stated buffer against losses. The Fund will likely not receive the full benefit of the Underlying ETFs’ buffers and could have limited upside potential. The Fund’s returns may be limited by the caps of the Underlying ETFs.
Buffered Loss Risk. There can be no guarantee that the Underlying ETFs will be successful in their strategy to buffer against SPY losses. Despite the intended buffer, the Fund may lose its entire investment in an Underlying ETF. Each Underlying ETF’s strategy seeks to deliver returns (before fees and expenses) that match the price return of SPY (up to the cap), while limiting downside losses, if shares are bought on the day on which the Underlying ETF enters into the FLEX Options and held until those FLEX Options expire at the end of each Investment Period. To the extent the Fund acquires shares of the Underlying ETFs in connection with creations of new shares of the Fund and during each rebalancing, the Fund typically will not acquire Underlying ETF shares on the first day of an Investment Period.
Capped Upside Risk. The Fund’s strategy seeks to provide returns that match those of the Underlying ETF for Shares purchased on the first day of an Investment Period and held for the entire Investment Period, subject to a pre-determined upside Cap. If an investor does not hold its Shares for an entire Investment Period, the returns realized by that investor may not match those the Fund seeks to achieve.
