QTJL Investment Objective and Strategy
Innovator Growth Accelerated Plus ETF - July describes its objective and strategy as follows, from its latest prospectus filed with the SEC by Innovator ETFs Trust.
Investment objective
The Fund seeks to provide investors with returns that are three times those of the Underlying ETF, up to the upside cap of 18.99% (prior to taking into account management fees and other fees) while approximately matching Underlying ETF losses, over the period from July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2026.
Principal investment strategy
General Strategy Description. Due to the unique mechanics of the Funds strategy, the return an investor can expect to receive from an investment in the Fund has characteristics that are distinct from many other investment vehicles. It is important that an investor understand these characteristics before making an investment in the Fund. The Fund has adopted a policy pursuant to Rule 35d -1 under the 1940 Act to invest, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in investments that provide exposure to the Invesco QQQ Trust SM , Series 1. The Funds strategy has been specifically designed to produce the Outcomes described below based upon the performance of the Underlying ETF over the duration of the Outcome Period. The Fund seeks replicate the performance of the Underlying ETF over the duration of the Outcome Period, subject to the below pre -determined Outcomes.
There is no guarantee that the Fund will be successful in its attempt to provide the Outcomes for an Outcome Period. Potential Upside Accelerated Return and Participation in Underlying ETF Losses, if any. The Fund seeks to provide shareholders with returns that are three times the increase in value experienced by the Underlying ETF ( i.e. , Accelerated Return) over the course of the Outcome Period, subject to the Cap (described below). To the extent the Underlying ETF decreases in value over the duration of the Outcome Period, the Fund seeks to provide shareholders that hold Shares for the entire Outcome Period with a decrease in value that is approximately equal to the share price decrease experienced by the Underlying ETF. Unlike other ETFs that utilize defined outcome investing strategies, the Fund does not provide a buffer ( i.e.
, protection against a specified percentage amount of Underlying ETF losses over a period of time) against Underlying ETF losses. Upside Accelerated Returns Subject to a Cap. The Fund seeks to provide shareholders that hold Shares for the entire Outcome Period with the Accelerated Return, if the Underlying ETF appreciates in value, subject to the Cap. The Cap represents the maximum percentage return an investor can achieve from an investment in the Fund over the duration of the Outcome Period. The Cap is set on the first day of the Outcome Period and is 18.99% prior to taking into account any fees or expenses charged to shareholders. When the Funds annual Fund management fee of 0.79% of the Funds average daily net assets is taken into account, the Cap is 18.20%. To produce the Outcomes, the Fund invests in FLEX Options that reference the Underlying ETF and may also invest in the Underlying ETF (or the components thereof) directly.
The Underlying ETF is an ETF that seeks to provide investment results that, before fees expenses, correspond generally to the total return performance of an index that tracks the performance of the largest domestic and international nonfinancial companies listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market, specifically the Nasdaq -100 Index . For additional information regarding the Underlying ETF, see Additional Information Regarding the Funds Principal Investment Strategies. The hypothetical graphical illustration provided below is designed to illustrate the Outcomes that the Fund seeks to provide for investors who hold Shares for the entirety of the Outcome Period. The returns that the Fund seeks to provide do not include the costs associated with purchasing Shares and certain expenses incurred by the Fund.
The following table contains hypothetical examples designed to illustrate the Outcomes the Fund seeks to provide over an Outcome Period, based upon the performance of the Underlying ETF from -100 % to 100%. The table is provided for illustrative purposes and does not provide every possible performance scenario for Shares over the course of an Outcome Period. The table is not intended to predict or project the performance of the Fund or its holdings. Fund shareholders should not take this information as an assurance of the expected performance of the Underlying ETF or return on Shares. The actual overall performance of the Fund will vary with fluctuations in the value of its assets during the Outcome Period, among other factors. Please refer to the Funds website, www.innovatoretfs.com/qtjl , which provides updated information relating to this table on a daily basis throughout the Outcome Period.
Underlying ETF Performance Fund Performance* 100% 18.99%* 50% 18.99%* 20% 18.99%* 15% 18.99%* 10% 18.99%* 5% 15% 0% 0% (5)% (5)% (10)% (10)% (15)% (15)% (20)% (20)% (50)% (50)% (100)% (100)% * The Funds returns listed herein are provided prior to taking into account any fees or expenses charged to shareholders. The Funds annual management fee of 0.79% of the Funds average daily net assets, any shareholder transaction fees, any acquired fund fees and expenses, and any extraordinary expenses incurred by the Fund will have the effect of reducing the returns listed herein. The Outcomes may only be realized by investors who continuously hold Shares from the commencement of the Outcome Period until its conclusion. Investors who purchase Shares after the Outcome Period has begun or sell Shares prior to the Outcome Periods conclusion may experience investment returns that are very different from those that the Fund seeks to provide.
Upon conclusion of the Outcome Period, the Fund will receive the cash value of all the FLEX Options it held for the prior Outcome Period. It will then invest in a new series of FLEX Options with an expiration date of approximately one year in the future, and a new Outcome Period will begin. The Outcomes the Fund seeks to provide and discussed herein are provided based on the Funds NAV, whereas shareholders purchase or sell Shares on the Exchange at market prices. Any disconnect between the Funds NAV and market prices of Shares will result in returns that deviate from the Outcomes the Fund seeks to provide. The Funds investment adviser is Innovator Capital Management, LLC ( Innovator or the Adviser ) and the Funds investment sub -adviser is Milliman Financial Risk Management LLC ( Milliman or the Sub -Adviser ).
The Fund is classified as a non -diversified company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act ). To the extent the Underlying ETF concentrates (i.e., holds 25% or more of its total assets) in the securities of a particular industry or group of industries, the Fund will concentrate its investments to approximately the same extent. Through its exposure to the Underlying ETF, the Fund has significant exposure to companies in the information technology sector. The Outcome Period. The Outcome Period is an approximately one -year period from July 1 through June 30 of the following year. The current Outcome Period is from July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2026. The Funds sought -after Outcomes are designed to be provided at the conclusion of the Outcome Period, and are based upon the Funds NAV at the outset of the Outcome Period.
Each FLEX Options value is ultimately derived from the performance of the Underlying ETF during that time. Because the terms of the FLEX Options dont change, the Accelerated Return and Cap each relate to the Funds NAV on the first day of the Outcome Period. Further, since the Funds option contracts are exercisable at the conclusion of the Outcome Period, the Outcomes are only provided at the end of the Outcome Period. Therefore, to achieve the Outcomes sought by the Fund for the Outcome Period, an investor must hold Shares from the commencement of the Outcome Period through its conclusion. There is no guarantee that the Fund will be successful in its attempt to provide the Outcomes. The Funds NAV is based upon the value of its portfolio. Although the value of the Underlying ETFs share price is a significant component of the value of the Funds FLEX Options, the value of the Funds FLEX Options (and therefore, the Funds NAV) will not increase or decrease at the same rate as the Underlying ETFs share price on a daily basis.
The time remaining until those FLEX Options expire, which is at the conclusion of the Outcome Period, also affects their value. The degree of non -correlation between the value of the FLEX Options and the value of the Underlying ETF may be higher than if the FLEX Options utilized by the Fund had a shorter term. The Sub -Adviser generally anticipates that the Funds NAV will increase on days when the Underlying ETFs share price increases and will decrease on days when the Underlying ETFs share price decreases, but that the rate of such increase or decrease may be less than that experienced by the Underlying ETF. Further, it is unlikely that the Funds value will increase at a rate that is the same rate as the Accelerated Return ( i.e. , an increase in value that is three times the increase in value experienced by the Underlying ETF) during the Outcome Period.
The Fund does not seek to provide the Outcomes on a daily or short -term basis, but instead seeks to provide the Outcomes at the conclusion of the Outcome Period for those investors who have held Shares for the duration of the Outcome Period. For additional information regarding the Outcome Period, including the potential impacts of purchasing and selling intra -Outcome Period, see Additional Information Regarding the Funds Principal Investment Strategies. Potential Upside Accelerated Return Subject to a Cap. The Funds potential upside returns are unlike other investment products. If the Underlying ETF increases in value over the duration of the Outcome Period, the Fund seeks to provide returns that are three times the increase experienced by the Underlying ETF, subject to the Cap. The Cap represents the maximum percentage return an investor can achieve from an investment in the Fund over the duration of the Outcome Period.
Therefore, even though the Funds returns (and any potential Accelerated Return) are based upon the performance of the Underlying ETF, if the Underlying ETF experiences returns for the Outcome Period in excess of the Cap, the Fund will not participate in such excess returns. The Cap is determined on the first day of the Outcome Period and is 18.99% prior to taking into account any fees or expenses charged to shareholders. When the Funds annual Fund management fee of 0.79% of the Funds average daily net assets is taken into account, the Cap is 18.20%. The Cap will be further reduced by any shareholder transaction fees, any acquired fund fees and expenses, and any extraordinary expenses incurred by the Fund. The Cap will change from one Outcome Period to the next based upon prevailing market conditions at the beginning of the Outcome Period.
The Cap is also set forth on the Funds website at www.innovatoretfs.com/qtjl. The Funds Portfolio. The Fund invests in FLEX Options that reference the Underlying ETF. In general, an option contract is an agreement between a buyer and seller that gives the purchaser of the option the right to buy or sell a particular asset at a specified future date at an agreed upon price. FLEX Options are exchange -traded option contracts with uniquely customizable terms. The Fund seeks to achieve the Outcomes, including the Accelerated Return and Cap, by purchasing and selling call FLEX Options to create layers within the Funds portfolio. The customizable nature of FLEX Options allows the Sub -Adviser to select the share price of the Underlying ETF at which the option contract may be exercised. This is commonly known as the strike price.
At the commencement of the Outcome Period, the Sub -Adviser specifically selects the strike price for each FLEX Option such that when the FLEX Options are exercised on the final day of the Outcome Period, the Outcomes may be obtained, depending on the performance of the Underlying ETFs share price over the duration of the Outcome Period.
