The Innovator Equity Defined Protection ETF (TAPR) is structured to mirror the investment returns of the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY). Over a predetermined two-year investment window, this fund aims to safeguard investors by offering full protection against any market downturns, absorbing 100% of potential losses. However, this downside security comes with a corresponding ceiling on gains, meaning its maximum returns are capped. It's important to note that these performance characteristics are stated before any fund-related fees and expenses are deducted.
