Our read on XUSP

ETF.net Research

CMost accelerated funds buy extra upside by selling you a cap. XUSP skips the cap: each option package sits out SPY's first 5% of gains, then aims to amplify what comes after, on a rolling quarterly ladder.

Stated mandate

XUSP seeks potential to outperform SPY’s price return once its performance thresholds are exceeded. It pursues uncapped enhanced upside through four one-year FLEX option packages with laddered quarterly expirations; each package does not participate in SPY’s first 5% of gains.

Why people hold it

  1. 01Uncapped by design. Where most enhanced-upside strategies bolt a ceiling onto the payoff, this one aims to keep amplifying SPY's advance above the threshold.globenewswire.com
  2. 02Four one-year FLEX option packages expire on a quarterly ladder, so no single start date sets the terms for your whole position the way a dated outcome fund does.innovatoretfs.com
  3. 03At 0.79%, the fee sits level with the median for accelerated SPY strategies, including Innovator siblings XTAP and XDSQ. The uncapped twist doesn't cost more.

Worth knowing

  1. 01The 5% giveback is the price of admission. Each package skips SPY's first 5% of gains, which stings most in flat or single-digit years.innovatoretfs.com
  2. 02The engineering is all on the upside. There's no buffer, and the reference point is SPY's price return, so dividends sit outside the payoff.innovatoretfs.com
  3. 03Small and thinly traded next to plain index funds, so limit orders and avoiding the opening and closing minutes are worth the habit.
