NDEC - Innovator ETFs Trust - Innovator Growth-100 Power Buffer ETF - December
NDEC uses FLEX options in an effort to participate in the price performance of the Invesco QQQ Trust, up to a predetermined cap, while buffering some downside loss over a one-year period starting each December. The fund foregoes some upside return as well as any dividend component, because the options are written on the price (not total) return version of the shares. In exchange for preventing realization of the first 15% of the NASDAQ-100's losses, investors forego upside participation above a certain threshold, which is reset annually.
