AB Conservative Buffer ETF: Limited Upside Capture With Ample Downside Protection
BUFC offers capped S&P 500 upside and a 15% downside buffer, making it ideal for risk-averse investors focused on capital preservation. The ETF uses FLEX options on SPY to achieve its objectives, successfully minimizing drawdowns during recent market volatility. With a higher-than-average 0.69% expense ratio and limited track record, BUFC is best used alongside SPY for balanced risk and return.
