The defined outcome ETF market, commonly known as buffer ETFs, has grown rapidly in popularity over the last few years, as investors look for funds that explicitly protect against downside risks. In 2022, the stock and bond markets saw a major decline.
A 68-year-old retiree with $400,000 in equities heading into 2026 has a real problem: SPY ran up 27% in the past year, but the VIX still spiked to almost 31 in late March, and the University of Michigan consumer sentiment sits at 53.3, deep in pessimistic territory.

Bryon Lake, Goldman Sachs Asset Management Third Party Wealth co-head, joins Dominic Chu on 'Halftime Report' to discuss what buying Innovator Capital Management means for the firm, the opportunity in defined-outcome ETFs and more.
Buffer ETFs offer downside protection up to 10-15% but cap gains at 10-15%, making them suitable for short-term, risk-averse investors.
