Innovator’s Equity Defined Protection ETF™ – 6 Month January/July (JAJL) will be the industry’s first ETF to offer investors 100% downside protection over a 6-month outcome period. JAJL’s 6-month cap range represents the potential to significantly outperform cash or short-term bonds, without taking on downside risk. Its ability to generate tax-deferred growth provides a significant advantage over cash or short-term bonds that are taxed at ordinary income rates.
“Advisors are struggling to manage client cash allocations close to 30%. Our 100% Buffer ETFs provide a strategy for putting that money away by providing 100% downside protection if the market downturns, and upside potential if the market rises. These ETFs can also offer investors significant tax advantages over cash or bonds. Overall, we believe investors are nervous about entering the market at all-time highs, but are also missing out on persistent market gains,” said Graham Day, CIO at Innovator ETFs. “Following the launch of TJUL, the industry’s first 100% Buffer ETF™, we remain eager and excited to expand our portfolio and extend our leadership in the space.”
Beyond the listing of the three 100% Buffer ETFs on July 1, Innovator has filed and intends to list eight additional 100% Buffer™ ETFs.

The cap for each Fund will be set at the start of the Outcome Period and depends on market conditions at that time. Periods of high market volatility could result in higher values, and lower volatility could result in lower values.
