Innovator Capital Management, LLC (Innovator), pioneer and provider
of the largest lineup of Defined Outcome ETFs, today announced July
upside cap and rate ranges on its Buffer, Barrier, and Accelerated
ETFs™.
“In early 2023, widespread bearish sentiment had many calling
for increased cash and bond allocations as a way to defend against
a market downturn; yet equity markets had a stronger first half of
the year than expected,” said Bruce Bond, founder and CEO of
Innovator ETFs. “Investors in our Defined Outcome ETFs were able to
position defensively with known-levels of built-in buffers against
loss while also benefitting from the equity market rally. We
believe the case for our July Series of Defined Outcome ETFs and
upcoming Premium Income Barrier ETFs™ is strong given continued
uncertainty in both bond and equity markets heading into the second
half of the year.
CIO Graham Day also noted, “In addition to offering refreshed
levels of upside potential on 17 existing Defined Outcome ETFs™,
we’re also pleased to be listing four more Premium Income Barrier
ETFs™, providing more ways for investors to pursue high levels of
income with built-in barriers of 10%, 20%, 30% or 40% against
loss.”
Below is the full list of ETFs resetting or listing on July

Cap ranges are based on the highest and lowest values based on
the 20 trading days prior to 6/25/23 and are shown gross of fund
management fees. Distribution rate ranges are based on the highest
and lowest values based on the 20 trading days prior to 6/14/23 and
are shown gross of fund management fees.
* “Cap” refers to the maximum potential return, before fees and
expenses and any shareholder transaction fees and any extraordinary
expenses, if held over the full Outcome Period. The Caps above are
shown gross of each fund’s management fee (.79% annually for all
funds in the table above, except for BALT (.69% annual, .175%
quarterly); IJUL (.85%); and EJUL (.89%)). Along with BALT, TFJL
and TSLH operate on quarterly outcome periods and, at .79% annual
fees, the funds carry .2% fees on a quarterly basis. **“Buffer”
refers to the amount of downside protection the fund seeks to
provide, before fees and expenses, over the full Outcome Period.
Outcome Period is the intended length of time over which the
defined outcomes are sought. Upon commencement of any fund’s
Outcome Period, the Caps can be found on a daily basis via
www.innovatoretfs.com*** Although BALT targets a 20% buffer, the
buffer may fall into a range of 15% to 20%; there is no guarantee
that the buffer will be within this range or that the Fund will
provide the buffer. The Upside Cap above is shown gross of the
.175% quarterly (0.69% annual) management fee for BALT. Upon
commencement of the Outcome Period, the remaining Cap and/or Buffer
can be found on a daily basis via www.innovatoretfs.com****“Floor”
refers to the projected maximum amount of loss an investor can
expect to incur prior to the downside protection the fund seeks to
provide, before fees and expenses, over the full Outcome Period.
The Floor is only operative against Underlying share price losses
exceeding approximately 5% for TFJL and 10% for TSLH over the
duration of the Outcome Period. There is no guarantee that the Fund
will be successful in its attempt to provide the Floor. If an
investor is considering purchasing Shares during the Outcome
Period, and the Fund has already increased in value, then a
shareholder may experience losses prior to gaining the protection
offered by the Floor, which is not guaranteed.* “Defined
Distribution Rate” refers to the maximum potential return,
before fees and expenses and any shareholder transaction fees and
any extraordinary expenses, if held over the full Outcome Period.
The ranges are based on the highest and lowest distribution rates
as illustrated by the Funds' strategy, based upon the 20 trading
days prior to June 14th. “Barrier” refers to the initial amount of
downside protection the fund seeks to provide, before fees and
expenses, over the full Outcome Period. If the decrease in the
price of the reference asset at the end of the Outcome Period
exceeds the barrier level, investors will experience the entirety
of reference asset losses. Outcome Period is the length of time
over which the defined outcomes are sought. Upon fund launch, the
distribution rates can be found on a daily basis
via www.innovatoretfs.com. The Defined Distribution
Rate is applicable only to those investors who hold Shares for an
entire Outcome Period and is not guaranteed.
The Funds' investment objectives, risks, charges
and expenses should be considered carefully before investing. The
prospectus contains this and other important information, and it
may be obtained at innovatoretfs.com. Read it carefully before
investing.
The Funds have characteristics unlike many other
traditional investment products and may not be suitable for all
investors. For more information regarding whether an investment in
the Fund is right for you, please see “Investor Suitability” in the
prospectus.

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.
The Outcomes may only be realized by investors who continuously
hold Shares from the commencement of the Outcome Period until its
conclusion. Investors who purchase Shares after the Outcome Period
has begun or sell Shares prior to the Outcome Period's conclusion
may experience investment returns very different from those that
the Fund seeks to provide.
Important risk information regarding Barrier
ETFs
There are material differences between traditional fixed
income asset classes and the Innovator Barrier ETFs, which seek to
provide a high level of income. The NAV of Barrier ETFs are tied to
the underlying options on the S&P 500, a broad-based measure of
the large cap U.S. equity market. The value of fixed income
products is tied to the value of the fixed income instruments the
products hold. Within a corporate capital structure, equity is
generally subordinate to fixed income assets and, as such, carries
a higher level of risk than fixed income assets.
Investment Objective: The Funds seeks to
provide investors, over a 1 year period (outcome period), with an
investment that provides a high level of income through a Defined
Distribution Rate and that is not subject to any losses experienced
by the U.S. Equity Index that are at or below a the respective
Barrier (10, 20, 30, 40) and is subject to initial losses
experienced by the U.S. Equity Index beginning at the Barrier and
to the full extent of U.S. Equity Index losses on a one-to-one
basis beginning after the barrier threshold has been crossed.
Barrier ETFs distribution rate sought by the Funds are
based upon a yield rate that is comprised of the yield generated by
the U.S. Treasuries and the premiums received from the Fund selling
FLEX Options (the ““Defined Distribution Rate”).
Over each Outcome Period, shareholders will also be subject to
U.S. Equity Index losses that are based upon an investment
“barrier,” which is an investment strategy whereby a payoff depends
on whether an underlying asset has breached a predetermined
performance level. The Funds seek to provide a pre-determined
barrier at 10, 20, 30, or 40%, respectively, of U.S. Equity Index
losses for each Outcome Period (the “Barrier”) by selling FLEX
Options that reference the U.S. Equity Index for each Outcome
Period (the “Barrier Options”). There is no guarantee
that the Fund will be successful in its attempt to implement the
Barrier. At the commencement of the new Outcome
Period, the Fund will sell new Barrier Options with an expiration
date of approximately one year and invest in U.S Treasuries with a
maturity date that aligns with the expiration of the new Outcome
Period.
Fund shareholders also will be subject to all losses experienced
by the U.S. Equity Index if the U.S. Equity Index experiences
losses that exceed the Barrier at the end of the Outcome Period. If
at the end of the Outcome Period the U.S. Equity Index has
experienced a positive price return, or price return losses that
are less than the Barrier, the Fund is designed to provide returns
that equal the Yield Rate. However, if the U.S. Equity Index has
decreased in value below the Barrier at the end of the Outcome
Period, the Fund's investments will generate Outcomes that equal
the Yield Rate less the entirety of the U.S. Equity Index's losses
over the course of the Outcome Period. The Fund will not benefit
from any increases in the U.S. Equity Index over the course of an
Outcome Period but is subject to the possibility of significant
losses experienced by the U.S. Equity Index if the value of the
U.S. Equity Index drops below the Barrier at the end of the Outcome
Period. An investor could lose its entire investment. The Fund will
not receive or benefit from any dividend payments made by the
constituents of the U.S. Equity Index.
A shareholder may lose its entire
investment. In the event an investor purchases Shares
after the commencement of the Outcome Period or sells Shares prior
to the expiration of the Outcome Period, the Barrier that the Fund
seeks to provide may not be available. In addition, the
operationality of the Barrier is such that the Fund may experience
dramatic changes in value of its NAV at the end of the Outcome
Period, even if the changes in the U.S. Equity Index are minimal.
If the U.S. Equity Index's value is at or near the Barrier at the
end of the Outcome Period, small changes in the value of the U.S.
Equity Index could result in dramatic changes in the value of the
Barrier Options and therefore the Fund's NAV. Investors should
understand these risks 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 Fund uses its net assets (including the premiums received by
selling Barrier Options) to purchase U.S. Treasuries that expire at
the end of the Outcome Period. The U.S. Treasuries are entitled to
an interest rate, which when added to the premiums received for
selling Barrier Options, produce the Yield Rate. The Yield Rate is
distributed to shareholders in Fund Distributions. The amount of
the Fund Distributions is dependent, in part, upon the income
received from the U.S. Treasuries, which is not guaranteed. If the
U.S. Treasuries fail to pay income or pay less income than
anticipated, the Yield Rate will not be obtained, and a Fund
Distribution will be less than anticipated.
Investing involves risks. Loss of principal is
possible. The Funds face numerous market trading risks,
including active markets risk, authorized participation
concentration risk, correlation risk, liquidity risk, management
risk, market maker risk, market risk, non-diversification risk,
operation risk, options risk, trading issues risk, upside
participation risk and valuation risk. For a detail list of fund
risks see the prospectus.
FLEX Options Risk. The Fund will utilize FLEX
Options issued and guaranteed for settlement by the Options
Clearing Corporation (OCC). 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 standard
options. In a 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.
These Funds are designed to provide point-to-point exposure to
the price return of the Reference Asset via a basket of Flex
Options. As a result, the ETFs are not expected to move directly in
line with the Reference Asset during the interim period.
Buffer and Accelerated ETF 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 with buffer mechanisms only seek to provide
shareholders that hold shares for the entire Outcome Period with
their respective buffer level against Reference Asset losses during
the Outcome Period. You will bear all Reference Asset losses
exceeding 9, 15 or 30%. 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.
