XTJA Profile
The Innovator U.S. Equity Accelerated Plus ETF - January is an actively managed exchange-traded fund (ETF) designed to provide investors with targeted exposure to the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust. The fund commits at least 80% of its net assets to a portfolio of FLEX Options, which are specialized exchange-traded options contracts with customizable terms. These FLEX Options reference the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust, a vehicle that seeks to mirror the performance of the S&P 500 Index, a broad measure of large-cap U.S. equities encompassing 500 prominent companies across various sectors.
FLEX Options, or Flexible Exchange Options, offer a unique investment tool with the ability to tailor expiration dates and strike prices, allowing for more precise exposure to market movements. Although FLEX Options are guaranteed for settlement by the Options Clearing Corporation (OCC), they carry inherent counterparty risk, as the OCC ensures the fulfillment of contractual obligations. This can lead to potential liquidity issues compared to standard options, which might impact the trading and pricing of these derivatives.
The fund's investment approach centers on leveraging the performance of the underlying ETF through these customizable options. By focusing on FLEX Options linked to the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust, the fund aims to enhance its performance relative to the broader market. This strategy involves daily adjustments and rolling of positions to maintain alignment with market conditions, thereby aiming to capture accelerated returns based on the S&P 500 Indexs movements.
Given its specific investment focus and strategy, the fund is classified as non-diversified, with a concentrated approach directed towards FLEX Options tied to a single underlying ETF. This concentrated investment strategy reflects the funds commitment to pursuing targeted outcomes based on the performance of the S&P 500 Index, emphasizing the potential for amplified returns through its specialized options portfolio.
