Investment Thesis

The lighter buffer buys a higher cap: +18% over twelve months, nearly the index's return, while still absorbing the first leg of any sell-off. For staying invested through volatility, the 9% floor is behavioral insurance that pays for itself.

Who It's For

Cautious equity investors who want most of the market's upside with a defined first-loss cushion.
