Buffered ETFs: Risks, Benefits & How They Fit Might Into Retirement Portfolios
Can you limit downside exposure and still participate in potential market growth? In this episode, David Afraimi sits down with Michael Capizzi, Managing Director at Vest, to explain how Buffered ETFs — also known as Defined Outcome ETFs — are being used by both retirees and younger investors when appropriate to help navigate market volatility with more structure and transparency.
You’ll discover:
● What Buffered ETFs are and how they function
● How they’re constructed to define downside protection and upside caps
● When they may complement fixed income, annuities, or traditional ETFs
● How Buffered ETFs responded during high-volatility markets like 2022
● How different clients—from those in distribution to accumulation—may use them
● Tax efficiency considerations
If you're looking for tools that may provide a level of predictability in an unpredictable market, this episode offers a deep dive into how these products work — and where they may (or may not) fit in a diversified retirement strategy.
