About BUYGX
Vest US Large Cap 10% Buffer Strategies Fund is an open-end mutual fund designed to provide exposure to the U.S. large-cap equity market while seeking to mitigate downside risk through a unique options-based approach. Its primary function is to "buffer" the first 10% of losses in a broad U.S. large-cap equity index—such as the S&P 500—over a preset one-year period, while still allowing investors to participate in upside performance, subject to a predetermined cap. The fund employs a laddered portfolio of 12 Buffer Strategies, each targeting a 10% buffer over rolling monthly maturities. This laddered method helps manage timing risks and ensures continuous risk mitigation and participation in evolving market conditions. By using liquid options linked to U.S. large-cap equities, Vest US Large Cap 10% Buffer Strategies Fund delivers a structured outcome, ideally suited for investors seeking to reduce equity drawdowns without fully sacrificing growth potential. This offering makes it a compelling alternative to traditional hedged equity strategies and some structured products, providing transparency and liquidity within an Investment Company Act of 1940-registered vehicle. Its role in the market is to help investors stay consistently invested in equities while managing volatility and limiting exposure to severe downturns.
