In short

CTJL No data

DAPR Most buffer funds cushion the first 10% of a drop. This one skips that and guards the deeper stretch: you take the first 5% of an S&P 500 slide, the fund targets -5% through -30%. April is its rung on First Trust's monthly ladder.

Stated mandate

CTJL No data

DAPR The Fund seeks to match the price return of the State Street® SPDR® S&P 500® ETF Trust before fees and expenses, subject to a 12.04% upside cap. It seeks to buffer losses from -5% through -30% during the April 20, 2026-April 16, 2027 target outcome period.

Why people hold it

CTJL No data

  • DAPR Deep-buffer geometry: over each one-year period it seeks to offset S&P 500 losses from -5% through -30%, the zone where a correction becomes a bear market, in exchange for a preset upside cap.ftportfolios.com
  • Resets every April with a fresh cap and a fresh buffer, and it has a sibling for all twelve calendar months, so the series can be laddered instead of timed.
  • The engine is FLEX options on the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust: customized, exchange-traded contracts with terms written to match the fund's outcome period.ftportfolios.com
  • The 0.85% fee sits right at the middle of its deep-buffer peer group.

Worth knowing

CTJL No data

  • DAPR The buffer is not a floor. The first 5% of a decline is yours, and past -30% losses resume one for one.ftportfolios.com
  • Cap and buffer are struck for the April-to-April period. Buy mid-period and your own upside room and cushion differ from the headline terms.ftportfolios.com
  • Cheaper deep-buffer wrappers exist: Pacer's Swan SOS Conservative funds (PSCW, PSCX) charge 0.49%.
