Our read on RSMR

ETF.net Research

In short

CMost buffer ETFs wrap their cushion around the cap-weighted S&P 500. This one wraps it around the equal-weight version, where the smallest name counts about as much as the biggest, and resets every March.

Stated mandate

The Fund seeks to match the price return of the Invesco S&P 500® Equal Weight ETF Trust, before fees and expenses, up to a 17.80% cap while buffering the first 10% of losses during the stated outcome period.

Why people hold it

  • The uncommon buffer build: outcomes are tied to the price of an equal-weight S&P 500 basket, so a handful of mega caps don't steer the result the way they do in cap-weighted buffer funds.
  • Downside terms are written down in advance: the first 10% of a decline in the reference basket is absorbed across each one-year outcome period, with a fresh period starting each March.
  • Charges 0.85%, the same as its June-dated sibling RSJN, and roughly in line with what defined-outcome funds typically cost.
  • Plain-vanilla plumbing: a registered 1940 Act ETF with no structural flags, and it stands in the upper half of the buffer group on our review.

Worth knowing

  • Upside is capped each period, and both cap and buffer run from the March start date, so buying mid-period leaves you with different numbers than the headline terms.
  • It targets price return only, so dividends from the underlying stocks aren't passed through to shareholders.
  • Launched in 2025 and one of the smaller, less-traded names in the buffer group, which makes limit orders worth the extra click.
