Buffer ETFs target different levels of downside protection to help you balance risk and return potential.

The Fund employs an options strategy that seeks to track the price return of the iShares Core S&P 500 ETF (“the Underlying ETF” or the “Reference Asset”) while providing an approximate downside buffer (the “Buffer”) in exchange for an approximate cap (the “Cap”) on upside potential. The Buffer may help reduce volatility and mitigate the effects of a decline in the value of the Fund to a set range of potential losses for investors who hold Fund shares over the entire Hedge Period. The table below provides an indication of the Buffer and Cap levels as of the previous day’s market close.

They are provided for transparency and illustrative purposes only, are not representative of a specific investment outcome and may not represent current value.

All figures shown are net of fees (as applicable).
Wondering how MAXJ may behave in different market conditions?
This table shows how the fund might perform (net of fees) across a range of return scenarios for the Reference Asset for the duration of the current Outcome Period.
These figures assume that an investor invests in the Fund on the current day and holds the investment through the Outcome Period. These figures are illustrative only and do not represent actual or future performance of the Fund or the Reference Asset.

Holdings are subject to change.
For options contracts held within the fund, the maturity date represents the expiration date of the contract.
The values shown for “market value,” “weight,” and “notional value” (the “calculated values”) are based off of a price provided by a third-party pricing vendor for the portfolio holding and do not reflect the impact of systematic fair valuation (“the vendor price”). The vendor price is not necessarily the price at which the Fund values the portfolio holding for the purposes of determining its net asset value (the “valuation price”). Holdings data shown reflects the investment book of record, which may differ from the accounting book of record used for the purposes of determining the Net Assets of the Fund. Notional value represents the portfolio's exposures based on the economic value of investments and options are delta-adjusted. Additionally, where applicable, foreign currency exchange rates with respect to the portfolio holdings denominated in non-U.S. currencies for the valuation price will be generally determined as of the close of business on the New York Stock Exchange, whereas for the vendor price will be generally determined as of 4 p.m. London. The calculated values may have been different if the valuation price were to have been used to calculate such values. The vendor price is as of the most recent date for which a price is available and may not necessarily be as of the date shown above.
Please see the “Determination of Net Asset Value” section of each Fund’s prospectus for additional information on the Fund’s valuation policies and procedures.
“Quantity” represents the number of shares, units or contracts of the corresponding security, as applicable per security type.
