Graham Day, VP of Product Development & Research and Bruce Bond, Co-Founder & CEO of Innovator Capital Management discuss the firm’s brand new Stacker ETF lineup and how advisors can leverage the defined outcome products to during times of market volatility.
Innovator’s new Stacker ETFs offer investors ‘stacked’ upside exposure to multiple U.S. equity markets, while limiting the downside exposure to a single market. Bond says that Stackers shouldn’t be confused with leveraged ETFs. While leveraged ETFs aim to magnify both upside and downside returns daily, Stackers only magnify upside returns to a cap and reset annually. Designed to be buy and hold solution, Stackers magnify upside over time and aim to deliver long-term outperformance.
Innovator plans to list their Stacker ETF series on October 1, 2020:
- Triple Stacker ETF (TSOC)
Triple Upside Exposure: 100% SPY + 100% QQQ + 100% IWM
Downside Exposure: SPY Only - Double Stacker ETF (DSOC)
Double Upside Exposure: 100% SPY + 100% QQQ
Downside Exposure: SPY Only - Double Stacker 9 Buffer ETF (DBOC)
Double Upside Exposure: 100% SPY + 100% QQQ
Downside Exposure: SPY Only + 9% Buffer
