First Trust Portfolios Canada Reveals Cap, Buffer, and Schedule for First Trust Vest U.S. Equity Buffer ETF – NOV
New Target Outcome Period: First Trust Canada announced the new Target Outcome Period for the First Trust Vest U.S. Equity Buffer ETF (NOVB.F), with a cap of 16.58% and a buffer of 10%, effective from November 24, 2025, to November 20, 2026.

Investor Considerations: Investors purchasing units after the first day of the Target Outcome Period may experience different return potentials compared to those who invest at the start, and the fund's buffer may not be available for late investors.
