* The Cap Ranges above are based on the highest
and lowest Cap as illustrated by the Funds’ strategy from 1/31/19 -
3/1/19 and are shown gross and net of the 0.79% management fee. The
actual Cap for each Fund will be set at the beginning of the
Outcome Period, and is dependent upon market conditions at that
time. As a result, the Cap set by each Fund may be higher or lower
than the Cap Range. “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.
“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 fund launch, the Caps can be
found on a daily basis via www.innovatoretfs.com. BAPR, PAPR
and UAPR are not yet available for investment.
“We believe the Innovator Defined Outcome ETFsm
suite is solving a key challenge for millions of Americans by
providing the ability to stay invested in the market, knowing they
have both upside growth potential with specific built-in downside
buffer levels,” said Bruce Bond, CEO of Innovator ETFs. “The
defined outcome investment space has historically been dominated by
bank and insurance products. Innovator has pioneered the delivery
of defined investment outcomes through the benefit-rich ETF
structure, providing investors access to specific payoff profiles
in a way that eliminates corporate credit risk, and is more liquid,
transparent, and cost-effective than ever before.”
“No other ETFs in the market today seek to offer
investors defined exposures to the S&P 500, where the downside
buffer level, upside growth potential, and outcome period can all
be known, prior to investing,” added John Southard, Innovator’s
Chief Investment Officer. “Our Defined Outcome S&P 500 Buffer
ETFs represent a new category of market exposure that can help
investors more effectively manage through volatile markets.”
The Innovator S&P 500 Buffer
ETFSM suite is the only ETFs in the world to provide investors
with S&P 500 performance and defined downside buffers. The ETFs
provide defined outcomes over one-year periods, are rebalanced
annually, and can be held indefinitely. Innovator S&P 500
Buffer ETFs, with over $379 million in AUM as of March 15, 2019,
are among the fastest growing new category of ETFs in the market
today.
Upcoming Webinars
Continuing educational efforts around Defined
Outcome investing and implementation of the Innovator S&P 500
Buffer ETF suite, Innovator will be hosting a series of webinars;
the next one scheduled for March 21, 2019 at 4:15pm ET. Additional
information including event registration is available using the
following link: http://www.innovatoretfs.com/webinars
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.

About Innovator Defined Outcome S&P
500 Buffer ETFs
Each Innovator Defined Outcome S&P 500
Buffer ETF seeks to provide defined exposure to the S&P 500,
where the downside buffer level, upside growth potential to a Cap,
and Outcome Period are all known, prior to investing.
Innovator has listed Defined Outcome Buffer ETFs
in a quarterly series to provide investors an opportunity to
purchase shares as close to the beginning of their respective
Outcome Periods as possible. Investors can also purchase shares of
a previously listed Defined Outcome Buffer ETF throughout the
entire Outcome Period; and obtain a current set of defined outcome
parameters, which are disclosed daily through a web tool available
at: http://innovatoretfs.com/define/.
Innovator is focused on delivering defined
outcome based solutions inside the benefit-rich ETF wrapper,
retaining many of the features that have contributed to the success
of structured products1 (e.g., downside buffer levels, defined
outcome parameters), but with the added benefits of transparency,
liquidity and lower costs afforded by the ETF structure.
Interim Period Shareholders
Unlike structured notes, which offer limited
liquidity, Innovator Defined Outcome Buffer ETFs trade throughout
the day on an exchange, like a stock. As a result, investors
purchasing shares of a Fund after its launch date may achieve a
different payoff profile than those who entered the Fund on day
one. Innovator recognizes this as a benefit of the Funds and
provides a web-based tool that allows investors to know, in
real-time throughout the trading day, their potential defined
outcome profile before they invest, based on the current ETF price
and the Outcome Period remaining. Innovator’s web tool can be
accessed at http://www.innovatoretfs.com/define.
ETF Construction
Each Fund will hold a portfolio of custom
exchange-traded FLEX Options that have varying strike prices (the
price at which the option purchaser may buy or sell the security,
at the expiration date), and the same expiration date
(approximately one year). The layering of these FLEX Options with
varying strike prices provides the mechanism for producing a Fund’s
desired outcome (i.e. Cap or buffer). Each Fund intends to roll
options components annually, on the last business day of the month
associated with each Fund.
The ETFs will be subadvised by Milliman
Financial Risk Management LLC (Milliman FRM), a global leader in
financial risk management. Milliman FRM was also instrumental in
the design of the Cboe S&P 500 Target Outcome Indexes, which
the Innovator Defined Outcome ETFs are benchmarked against.
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.

1 Structured notes and structured annuities are
financial instruments designed and created to afford investors
exposure to an underlying asset through a derivative contract. It
is important to note that these ETFs are not structured notes or
structured annuities.
Investing involves risks. The Funds face
numerous market trading risks, including active markets risk,
authorized participation concentration risk, buffered loss risk,
Cap change risk, capped upside return risk, correlation risk, FLEX
Option counterparty risk, cyber security risk, fluctuation of net
asset value risk, investment objective risk, limitations of
intraday indicative value risk, liquidity risk, management risk,
market maker risk, market risk, non-diversification risk, operation
risk, options risk, Outcome Period risk, tax risk, trading issues
risk, upside participation risk and valuation risk. Unlike mutual
funds, the Funds may trade at a premium or discount to their net
asset value. ETFs are bought and sold at market price and not
individually redeemed from the Fund. Brokerage commissions will
reduce returns.
The outcomes that a Fund seeks to provide may
only be realized if you are holding shares on the first day of the
Outcome Period and continue to hold them on the last day of the
Outcome Period, approximately one year. If you purchase shares
after the Outcome Period has begun or sell shares prior to the
Outcome Period’s conclusion, you may experience very different
investment returns from those that a Fund seeks to provide.
These Funds are designed to provide
point-to-point exposure to the price return of the S&P 500 via
a basket of FLEX Options. As a result, the ETFs are not expected to
move directly in line with the S&P 500 during the interim
period.
FLEX Options Risk. The Fund
will utilize FLEX Options issued and guaranteed for settlement by
the Options Clearing Corporation (OCC). The Fund bears the risk
that the OCC will be unable or unwilling to perform its obligations
under the FLEX Options contracts. 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 certain other
securities such as standardized options. In 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.
Fund 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 only seek to provide
shareholders that hold shares for the entire Outcome Period with
their respective buffer level against S&P 500 Price Index
losses during the Outcome Period. You will bear all S&P 500
Price Index losses exceeding 9%, 15%, and 30%, respectively.
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 9% 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.
Each Fund’s investment objectives,
risks, charges and expenses should be considered before investing.
