Innovator ETFs

Geopolitical risks, rising rates, and inflation are key risks facing clients today. Common hedges work until they don’t, and as of late, have not delivered the results clients are expecting.

During retirement, deciding how much to withdraw each year from investments can be complicated when both the length of retirement and returns on assets are not known. Unknown longevity presents a tradeoff in which a retiree can either spend generously and risk outliving savings — or spend conservatively and live a less enjoyable retirement. But it is possible to know an outcome before investing. Consider Buffer ETFs™ and other Defined outcome ETFs™ that use options strategies to shape a return

Pre- and current retirees seeking moderate capital preservation often have to choose between accepting mediocre returns or lower volatility. What if there were a way to make the equity portion of one’s portfolio work harder? One solution: Accelerated ETFs™ seek to 2x or 3x gains up to a cap with a 1:1 downside exposure. Learn all about them from Graham Day, CFA and Joe Becker, FRM at Innovator, the creator of Accelerated ETFs™ and other Defined Outcome ETFs™.

There’s a growing chorus on Wall Street that market risks are rising and a big correction may becoming. Learn how a Buffer ETF™ strategy can potentially help protect the gains in your clients’ portfolios while letting them stay invested in the market. In this 1-hour webinar, Innovator Capital Management’s Bruce Bond and Graham Day will discuss various investment strategies to help advisors navigate this uncertain market environment.

For the 10 years prior to the great financial crisis of 2008 (GFC), the 10-year Treasury bond’s average yield was 5.0%; for the 10 calendar years ended December 2020, it averaged just 2.3%, less than half its pre-crisis average (Source: Bloomberg).

In pursuit of higher yields, many investors are taking on more risk, either by going further out on the yield curve or further down the credit spectrum. In 2021, however, even the longer-dated and lower-quality segments of the bond market have failed to offer yields comparable to those of their shorter-dated, higher-quality counterparts prior to the GFC.

This dynamic has led investors to seek bond alternatives. One such alternative is a defined outcome investment with built-in buffers against losses.

Equity markets have continued to climb upward, but bond markets continue to trend downward. Clients relying on the stability of what bonds have historically offered are likely to be disappointed with expected future returns. We believe clients need investment solutions that allow them to capture the upside of the equity market while managing the risk and limiting the volatility in their portfolios. Innovator’s Defined Outcome lineup seeks to allow clients to reduce downside risk through a built-in buffer and also maintain the upside potential of SPY or QQQ, to a cap.

Innovator Accelerated ETFs are part of the Innovator Defined Outcome ETF family and are the world’s first ETFs that seek to provide a multiple of the upside return of the S&P 500, to a cap, with a single exposure on the downside, offered with quarterly or annual outcome periods. Join us as we present Accelerated ETFs and learn how clients can benefit from using them, particularly in the current market environment.

What you will learn for this webinar is:

• What are Accelerated ETFs?
• How can Accelerated ETFs potentially help clients meet specific target returns?
• Where do Accelerated ETFs fit in a client’s portfolios?
