Simplifying Buffered ETF Implementation  

Your clients want equity upside with a measure of downside protection. Buffered ETFs can help—but getting the fit right means navigating caps, buffer levels, and outcome periods. FINIAT offers prebuilt buffered solutions as well as the technology to navigate buffered selection seamlessly.

Challenge

Why Buffered ETFs?

Upside Participation
Downside Protection

Stay invested in the market’s potential while taking some of the edge off its ups and downs. Buffered ETFs offer a way to participate in market gains, up to a cap, with a defined buffer against certain losses over a specified outcome period.
Smart Rebalancing

Buffered ETF Complexity

Buffered ETFs offer a compelling balance of growth potential and downside protection—but capturing that balance takes careful selection, precise timing, and ongoing oversight.
Timing Matters:
The return state of each buffered ETF is heavily affected by when it is purchased in its series.
Upside is Limited:
Caps vary across funds and reset periods, affecting how much growth you can capture.
Ongoing Oversight is Needed:
Allocations, resets, and portfolio fit require monitoring as markets and client needs change.
