FT CBOE VEST GOLD STRATEGY QUARTERLY BUFFER ETF ETF

The investment seeks to provide investors with returns (before fees, expenses and taxes) that match those of the SPDR® Gold Trust.

FLEX Options are customized equity or index option contracts that trade on an exchange, but provide investors with the ability to customize key contract terms like exercise prices, styles and expiration dates. The fund is non-diversified.
