Aptus Capital Advisors is leaning further into the growing appetite for “smoother ride” investing. The firm has unveiled a new laddered buffered ETF — ABUF — priced at a 0.30% expense ratio, a level it argues undercuts many existing products in a category that has quietly gathered momentum among financial advisers.

Unlike the Underlying ETFs, the Aptus Laddered Buffer ETF (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.
Make sure to carefully read the Fund’s prospectus to understand the investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses before investing. The Fund’s prospectus and other offering documents can be obtained, at no charge, by visiting the Fund’s website at www.aptusetfs.com/abuf, or by calling 800-617-0004.
The Fund is distributed by Quasar Distributors, LLC
