CAUGCCorgi U.S. Equities 15% Structured Buffer ETF - August Series

POCTBInnovator U.S. Equity Power Buffer ETF

In short

CAUG No data

POCT October's slot in Innovator's Power Buffer lineup: S&P 500 exposure with the first 15% of a drop absorbed, in exchange for an upside cap set fresh each October 1. Same machinery as its sibling months, different start date.

Stated mandate

CAUG No data

POCT The Fund seeks to track the return of the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY), subject to a predetermined cap, while protecting against the first 15% of losses during the outcome period.

Why people hold it

CAUG No data

  • POCT Absorbs the first 15% of a one-year decline in the S&P 500 tracker it references (before fees), then resets every October 1 and can be held indefinitely.innovatoretfs.com
  • FLEX options do the work inside a plain 1940 Act ETF: exchange-traded, no K-1, none of the bank credit risk that comes with a structured note.innovatoretfs.com
  • Sits in the upper tier of the buffer funds we track, helped by trading that holds up well for an options-based product and a fee in line with the category.
  • Running since 2018 with a full set of monthly siblings behind it, plus a laddered version (BUFF) that spreads across start months instead of picking one.

Worth knowing

CAUG No data

  • POCT The cap is set on the first day of each October period and depends on conditions then. Gains above it don't accrue, and the 0.79% fee trims both cap and buffer.innovatoretfs.com
  • Buy mid-period and you inherit whatever buffer and cap remain, not the headline terms. The outcomes are engineered for a full October-to-October hold.innovatoretfs.com
  • Exposure comes through options rather than shares, so index dividends don't show up as income; the fund isn't built as a payer.innovatoretfs.com
