First Trust Vest Nasdaq-100 Moderate Buffer UCITS ETF - December Class A Accumulation (DECQ)

Profile

First Trust Vest Nasdaq-100 Moderate Buffer UCITS ETF - December Class A Accumulation is an actively managed exchange-traded fund designed to track the performance of the Nasdaq-100 Index while employing a unique risk-mitigation strategy. The ETF uses FLEX options to provide a built-in buffer, aiming to shield investors from the first 15% of annual losses in the index. This moderate buffer strategy is designed to help smooth returns and cushion market downturns, albeit with an upside cap that limits potential gains each period. The fund accumulates dividends, automatically reinvesting them rather than distributing to shareholders. Focused primarily on U.S. technology and growth sectors reflected in the Nasdaq-100, the ETF offers exposure to leading companies while seeking to reduce the volatility typically associated with tech-heavy indices. The fund's outcome period runs approximately one year, resetting the cap and buffer each December to reflect current market conditions. As part of First Trust's Target Outcome product suite, this ETF is intended for investors seeking a defined-risk approach to equity market participation within a transparent, UCITS-compliant structure, and is domiciled in Ireland.
