Innovator US Equity Power Buffer ETF January

PJAN

Market cap $1.23B

The actively managed ETF industry is now roughly the market cap of Berkshire Hathaway — and one expert thinks trade risks could boost interest even higher.

Recent downturns from the Great Recession and the worldwide pandemic are still fresh on investors' minds. Now any pullback in the market has left investors shaky.

Innovator has added an international buffer ETF to its range of funds. The Innovator International Developed Power Buffer ETF – August (IAUG) launched on the NYSE on August 1.

After a strong five months for the S&P 500 Index in 2024, many advisors thought the remainder of the year would be weaker. While taking profits might make sense to some, there's a range of ETFs to consider helping clients stay in the market.

Today, Innovator rolled out the Innovator International Developed Power Buffer ETF – June (IJUN), the 11th fund from the issuer to track the price performance of the iShares MSCI EAFE ETF (EFA) and offer 15% downside protection. Before expenses, the fund has an upside cap of 20.74%.

Matt Kaufman, Calamos head of ETFs, joins CNBC's Bob Pisani on ETF Edge to discuss the launch of the firm's 12 new ETFs that offer a way to protect from downside risk.

On Friday, Innovator added a new defined outcome ETF to its library with the Innovator International Developed Power Buffer ETF – March (NYSE Arca: IMAR). IMAR has a net expense ratio of 0.85%, according to the fund prospectus.

Today, Innovator unveiled the eighth fund in its International Developed Power Buffer ETF family. These funds provide the price return of the iShares MSCI EAFE ETF (EFA) up to a cap while protecting against the first 15% of losses from the start of the one-year outcome period.

Today, Innovator launched the Innovator Nasdaq-100 Managed Floor ETF (NYSE Arca: QFLR), which looks to offer exposure to the performance of the Nasdaq-100 Index while limiting losses to 10% within a 12 month period.
