Innovator Expands Dual Directional ETF Lineup With June Series

Innovator launched two new S&P 500-linked “Dual Directional” buffer ETFs, DDFZ and DDTZ, for the June 2026–May 2027 outcome period. The funds seek positive returns whether the market rises or falls, using FLEX options. DDFZ offers a 15% inverse-performance threshold and buffer, with a 10.7% upside cap and up to 15% gain if the S&P 500 declines by up to 15%. DDTZ provides a 10% threshold and buffer with a higher expected upside cap of 14.18%-15.68%. If losses exceed the threshold, investors absorb declines beyond the buffer on a one-for-one basis.
