About ENGCX
Vest US Large Cap 20% Buffer Strategies Fund Class C Shares is a mutual fund designed to offer capital appreciation while providing a structural buffer against equity market downturns. Its primary objective is to mitigate the impact of the first 20% decline in a broad U.S. large-cap equity index or exchange-traded fund (ETF) over a designated outcome period, using a layered options strategy that incorporates both calls and puts on instruments like the SPDR S&P 500 ETF. The fund typically invests at least 80% of its assets in such options-based strategies, aiming to participate in some market growth while explicitly limiting downside risk. This fund falls within the "Defined Outcome" category, where outcomes are largely shaped by the performance of the underlying index and the construction of its options contracts. Its approach appeals to investors seeking a blend of equity growth potential and loss protection, making it distinct from pure equity or traditional balanced funds. By focusing on U.S. large-cap stocks, the fund’s strategy is closely tied to major companies across various economic sectors, reflecting the health and direction of the broader U.S. economy. The use of options overlays gives it a unique role among risk-managed equity strategies, allowing for a trade-off between capped upside and buffered losses.
