ETFs provide exposure to the S&P 500 with downside buffer levels of 9%, 15%, or 30% over an Outcome Period of approximately one year

ETFs reset annually, and may be held indefinitely

CHICAGO, IL / ACCESSWIRE / June 30, 2019 / Innovator Capital Management, LLC (Innovator) announced today the successful completion of the first outcome period for the July Series of Innovator S&P 500 Buffer ETFs, which began trading in August 2018.

The July Series of S&P 500 Buffer ETFs resets on July 1, 2019, based on the current level for the S&P Price Return Index, with new upside caps and downside buffers for the next one year outcome period which concludes on June 30, 2020.

“We are very pleased with the performance of the first three S&P 500 Buffer ETFs during their initial Outcome Period,” said Bruce Bond, CEO of Innovator Capital Management. “Our inaugural series of Defined Outcome ETFs did exactly what we expected them to do-ending the outcome period in line with the return of S&P 500 Price Return Index, with about half the volatility, and with significantly lower drawdowns along the way.”

August 2018 marked the first time that investors were able to access structured outcomes through the ETF vehicle.

The perpetual nature of Innovator’s Defined Outcome ETFs allows investors the opportunity to own the July Buffer ETF Series with fresh buffers and new upside caps which reset each year (caps depicted below).

About Innovator Defined Outcome ETFs

Each Innovator Defined Outcome ETFSM seeks to provide a defined exposure to a broad market index (such as the S&P 500, MSCI EAFE or MSCI EM) where the downside buffer level, upside growth potential to a Cap, and Outcome Period are all known, prior to investing.

Innovator recently began expanding its suite of S&P 500 Buffer ETFs into a monthly series to provide investors more opportunities to purchase shares as close to the beginning of their respective Outcome Periods as possible. Investors can purchase shares of a previously listed Defined Outcome Buffer ETF throughout the entire Outcome Period, obtaining a current set of defined outcome parameters, which are disclosed daily through a web tool available at: http://innovatoretfs.com/define/.

Innovator is focused on delivering defined outcome based solutions inside the benefit-rich ETF wrapper, retaining many of the features that have contributed to the success of structured products1 (e.g., downside buffer levels, upside participation, defined outcome parameters), but with the added benefits of transparency, liquidity and lower costs afforded by the ETF structure.

Interim Period Shareholders

Unlike structured notes, which offer limited liquidity, Innovator Defined Outcome ETFs trade throughout the day on an exchange, like a stock. As a result, investors purchasing shares of a Fund after its launch date may achieve a different payoff profile than those who entered the Fund on day one. Innovator recognizes this as a benefit of the Funds and provides a web-based tool that allows investors to know, in real-time throughout the trading day, their potential defined outcome return profile before they invest, based on the current ETF price and the Outcome Period remaining. Innovator’s web tool can be accessed at http://www.innovatoretfs.com/define.

ETF Construction

Each Fund will hold a portfolio of custom exchange-traded FLEX Options that have varying strike prices (the price at which the option purchaser may buy or sell the security, at the expiration date), and the same expiration date (approximately one year). The layering of these FLEX Options with varying strike prices provides the mechanism for producing a Fund’s desired outcome (i.e. Cap or buffer). Each Fund intends to roll options components annually, on the last business day of the month associated with each Fund.

The ETFs are subadvised by Milliman Financial Risk Management LLC (Milliman FRM), a global leader in financial risk management. Milliman FRM was also instrumental in the design of the Cboe S&P 500 Target Outcome Indexes, which the Innovator Defined Outcome ETFs are benchmarked against.

Although each Fund seeks to achieve the defined outcomes stated in its investment objective, there is no guarantee that it will do so. The returns that the Funds seek to provide do not include the costs associated with purchasing shares of the Fund and certain expenses incurred by the Fund.

1 Structured notes and structured annuities are financial instruments designed and created to afford investors exposure to an underlying asset through a derivative contract. It is important to note that these ETFs are not structured notes or structured annuities.

Investing involves risks. The Funds face numerous market trading risks, including active markets risk, authorized participation concentration risk, buffered loss risk, Cap change risk, capped upside return risk, correlation risk, FLEX Option counterparty risk, cyber security risk, fluctuation of net asset value risk, investment objective risk, limitations of intraday indicative value risk, liquidity risk, management risk, market maker risk, market risk, non-diversification risk, operation risk, options risk, Outcome Period risk, tax risk, trading issues risk, upside participation risk and valuation risk. Unlike mutual funds, the Funds may trade at a premium or discount to their net asset value. ETFs are bought and sold at market price and not individually redeemed from the Fund. Brokerage commissions will reduce returns.

The outcomes that a Fund seeks to provide may only be realized if you are holding shares on the first day of the Outcome Period and continue to hold them on the last day of the Outcome Period, approximately one year. If you purchase shares after the Outcome Period has begun or sell shares prior to the Outcome Period’s conclusion, you may experience very different investment returns from those that a Fund seeks to provide.

These Funds are designed to provide point-to-point exposure to the price return of the S&P 500, MSCI Emerging Markets and MSCI EAFE indexes via a basket of FLEX Options. As a result, the ETFs are not expected to move directly in line with the indexes during the interim period.

FLEX
Options Risk. The Fund will utilize FLEX Options issued and guaranteed for settlement by the Options Clearing Corporation (OCC). FLEX options, are non-standard options that allow both the writer and purchaser to negotiate various terms. Terms that are negotiable include the exercise style, strike price, expiration date, as well as other feature. The Fund bears the risk that the OCC will be unable or unwilling to perform its obligations under the FLEX Options contracts. In the unlikely event that the OCC becomes insolvent or is otherwise unable to meet its settlement obligations, the Fund could suffer significant losses. Additionally, FLEX Options may be less liquid than certain other securities such as standardized options. In less liquid market for the FLEX Options, the Fund may have difficulty closing out certain FLEX Options positions at desired times and prices. The values of FLEX Options do not increase or decrease at the same rate as the reference asset and may vary due to factors other than the price of reference asset.

Fund shareholders are subject to an upside return cap (the “Cap”) that represents the maximum percentage return an investor can achieve from an investment in the funds’ for the Outcome Period, before fees and expenses. If the Outcome Period has begun and the Fund has increased in value to a level near to the Cap, an investor purchasing at that price has little or no ability to achieve gains but remains vulnerable to downside risks. Additionally, the Cap may rise or fall from one Outcome Period to the next. The Cap, and the Fund’s position relative to it, should be considered before investing in the Fund. The Funds’ website, www.innovatoretfs.com, provides important Fund information as well information relating to the potential outcomes of an investment in a Fund on a daily basis.

The Funds only seek to provide shareholders that hold shares for the entire Outcome Period with their respective buffer level against S&P 500, MSCI Emerging Markets and MSCI EAFE Price Index losses during the Outcome Period. You will bear all S&P 500 Price Index losses exceeding 9%, 15%, and 30%, respectively, and bear all MSCI Emerging Markets and MSCI EAFE Price Index losses exceeding 15% respectively. Depending upon market conditions at the time of purchase, a shareholder that purchases shares after the Outcome Period has begun may also lose their entire investment. For instance, if the Outcome Period has begun and the Fund has decreased in value beyond the pre-determined buffer, an investor purchasing shares at that price may not benefit from the buffer. Similarly, if the Outcome Period has begun and the Fund has increased in value, an investor purchasing shares at that price may not benefit from the buffer until the Fund’s value has decreased to its value at the commencement of the Outcome Period.

ATLANTA, GA / ACCESSWIRE / June 30, 2019 / Rick Rahim says it’s easy to build a successful, high-quality business if you focus on quality and value for your clients. “Any passionate and hard-working person can create a business and succeed,” says Rahim. “But scaling it is the true challenge,” he says.

Rick is the President of BusinessVenures.com. He has built many successful businesses from scratch. “Starting a business is easy,” Rahim says. “Making it grow is hard.”

Rick says that virtually anybody with a true passion for what he or she does can eventually build a profitable small business through trial-and-error. He says the key to success is a willingness to accept failure and adapt. “It’s okay to try and fail so long as you learn from the failures and strive not to repeat them.”

“Once you build a successful business, how do you grow it and maintain the quality that made you successful?” Rick says it’s easy to control quality and service when a startup company is small enough for the owner to be hands-on. But Rahim says growing pains can be very real and often threaten the success of an expanding company.

“The key is to hire coachable people,” according to Rick. Rahim advises “hire open-minded people who show a willingness to learn.” He says “Traditional mentors will advise you to hire experienced people who can take over many of your daily functions.” But Rick advises entrepreneurs to instead hire coachable people who are eager but not necessarily as experienced.

Rick says it is more important to build a training system and solid policies for your employees. “Focus on building the recipe for success that can be duplicated by the people you hire.” Rahim says you should strive more for a system that can be followed by anyone you hire.

According to Rick, “If you want to scale, you must first build a system and the tools so you can hire other people to help you grow.” Rick is a big believer in using technology to track and improve the metrics of his various companies.

“Stay away from hiring the ‘know-it-alls’ who claim they can come in and make your business better,” says Rahim. “Those are the exact people who cannot be trusted to run your business the way you want it run.”

Instead, says Rick, “hire people who are confident, yet willing to learn.” Rick says “if they insist they can come in and fix everything, they’ll never be willing to accept your leadership.”

For Rick Rahim, scaling any company revolves around building systems that allow your employees to succeed. Once the systems are in place, hiring and training becomes much easier.

LOS ANGELES, CA / ACCESSWIRE / June 30, 2019 / Compare-autoinsurance.org has launched a new blog post that presents several tips that can help drivers find accurate car insurance quotes.

For more info and free online car insurance quotes, please visit https://compare-autoinsurance.org/tips-getting-accurate-car-insurance-quotes/

Policyholders are advised to review their insurance needs and costs whenever they experience a major change in their lives. Events like getting married, moving to a new neighborhood, or a change in credit score can influence the price of insurance. The best way to review an insurance policy is by shopping online for car insurance quotes.

Drivers can obtain accurate car insurance quotes if they follow the next tips:

Determine what policies are needed. Besides the minimum insurance coverage required by each state, drivers might have other insurance needs. Policyholders that drive older cars can decide to drop full coverage. On the other hand, drivers that purchased new vehicles can choose to purchase full coverage and other additional policies like new car replacement coverage of gap insurance. The final decision belongs to the policyholders that know what are their insurance needs.

Analyze the available budget. Drivers should not opt for expensive policies if they can’t afford them. Online quotes will help drivers realize what they can afford. Online quotes will allow drivers to simulate different car insurance plans. Based on the average price of several simulations, drivers can tailor a policy that is affordable to them.

Use correct data when filling the online form. Drivers should ensure they have some documents nearby. Online forms will usually ask data about the car model, make, year of production, safety features, anti-theft devices, etc.

Do not hide the negative aspects. Lying to an insurer about the driving record in order to obtain better insurance rates is not uncommon. However, drivers should know that insurance companies will do their own research before granting coverage to someone.

Complete complex online forms. Drivers can obtain very accurate car insurance quotes if they choose to complete long and complex questionnaires. Usually, these online forms will ask data about vehicle history, driving history, use of the vehicle, credit history, safety devices, etc.

LOS ANGELES, CA / ACCESSWIRE / June 30, 2019 / Compare-autoinsurance.org has launched a new blog post that presents the multiple benefits of comparing online car insurance quotes.

For more info and free auto insurance quotes, please visit https://compare-autoinsurance.org/why-drivers-should-online-car-insurance-quotes/

Living in the age of the internet has its advantages. One of them is the way drivers can purchase insurance. Drivers can save time by choosing to compare online quotes, instead of going from one insurance agency to another in order to gain just a few quotes.

The benefits of using online car insurance quotes are the following:

They can help drivers save money. In many cases, drivers that compare online quotes can save hundreds of dollars. In the case of a high-risk driver, the savings can reach up to thousands of dollars each year.

Online quotes will help drivers find new insurance companies. Many drivers rush to the big, known insurance companies in order to purchase coverage. By doing so, they can miss the offers made by newly established regional or local insurance companies. Many of these new insurance companies will offer attractive insurance deals in order to attract new customers. Using online quotes can help drivers find these new insurers.

Get multiple results on a single search page. Brokerage websites will help drivers to obtain multiple insurance quotes from different car insurance companies. Drivers will only have to fill up an online form and get multiple insurance quotes from insurance companies available in their area.

It is an efficient and comfortable way to scan the market. All they need is an internet connection and a device that is capable to browse and display online quotes (devices like smartphone, tablet, notebook, PC, etc.). All of this can be done while the drivers are sitting comfortably in their homes.

Find the right policy for your car and budget. If the time for renewal is approaching, then drivers are recommended to check the insurance market. Many insurance providers will provide significant discounts to those drivers that are willing to switch their current carrier when there are only a few weeks left until the policy expires.

For more info and free online quotes, please visit https://compare-autoinsurance.org/top-advantages-drivers-get-by-comparing-online-quotes/

Policyholders that are searching for better insurance deals should consider obtaining online car insurance quotes. Drivers can benefit from the following advantages if they decide to use a brokerage website or an insurer’s official site in order to gain online quotes:

Get access to price estimates anytime and anywhere. Drivers are no longer required to travel from one insurance agency to another in order to obtain a few insurance offers. Drivers can search the insurance market while sitting in the comfort of their homes, or while they are on vacation on another continent. It doesn’t matter when and from where a policyholder is searching for online quotes. All he needs is an internet connection and a device that can browse and display quotes like a smartphone or a notebook.

It takes only a couple of minutes to obtain car insurance quotes. Back in the days, policyholders could have spent days obtaining different insurance offers from multiple insurance agencies. Nowadays, with the help of the internet, online insurance quotes can be obtained extremely fast. All that a driver has to do is to complete an online form and wait for several seconds for a quote to be displayed.

Online quotes will help drivers save money. On average, policyholders can find deals that are 5% to 10% cheaper than their current insurance policy. This means, that a driver can save even hundreds of dollars each year.

Get access to really accurate price values. In many cases, online estimates are really close to the final price of the insurance policy. For that, the policyholder will have to provide correct and accurate info when completing an online questionnaire.

Compare multiple insurers. Online quotes will help drivers compare multiple insurance companies that compete with each other. Online quotes will also help drivers find smaller, newly established regional or local insurance companies. These new insurance companies will probably have better insurance deals in order to attract new customers.
