About
The Innovator International Developed 10 Buffer ETF (IBUF) is structured to mirror the investment performance of the iShares MSCI EAFE ETF (EFA), though its upside potential is subject to a predefined maximum gain. Additionally, it aims to mitigate potential losses by absorbing the initial 10% decline in value during each recurring three-month period. This ETF is suitable for long-term investment, as its protective buffer and gain cap are recalibrated at the close of every outcome cycle.
