Our read on each fund

NJANCInnovator Growth-100 Power Buffer ETF

QMFEDFT Vest Nasdaq-100 Moderate Buffer ETF - February

In short

NJAN The January rung of Innovator's Nasdaq-100 ladder: hold a QQQ-linked stake, hand back the upside above a cap set each January, and get the first 15% of the year's losses absorbed. Big tech with the top and bottom sanded down.

QMFE No data

Stated mandate

NJAN The fund seeks capped upside exposure to the Invesco QQQ Trust while protecting against the first 15% of losses during each approximately annual outcome period.

QMFE No data

Why people hold it

  • NJAN Deep cushion by design: the first 15% of the reference asset's losses over each roughly one-year outcome period are absorbed before you feel anything.
  • The reference asset is the Invesco QQQ Trust itself, not a bespoke index. What you're buffering is the same Nasdaq-100 exposure most investors already know.
  • Part of a dated series (NAPR, NJUL run the same 15% Power Buffer on different start months), so entry dates can be laddered rather than bet on one January.
  • Fee sits right at the middle of the Nasdaq-100 buffer aisle at 0.79%, and the fund has been running its annual reset since 2020.

QMFE No data

Worth knowing

  • NJAN The cap is the price of the buffer. It's reset each January from options pricing, so a scorching Nasdaq-100 year gets left partly on the table.
  • Outcomes are engineered start-to-finish of the period. Buy or sell mid-period and your real cushion and remaining upside differ from the headline terms.
  • Cheaper ways to buffer the Nasdaq-100 exist (PBQQ runs 0.50%), and this one trades lightly, so limit orders matter more here than with the category's giants.
