MosaicAI BUFD Fund
A tokenized fund holding a single underlying asset — the FT Vest Laddered Deep Buffer ETF (BUFD) from First Trust Portfolios — with full look-through to what you own.
What your tokens hold — and why
BUFD is a $1.9B First Trust ETF holding a ladder of twelve deep buffer funds. Each absorbs S&P 500 losses between -5% and -30% over its one-year period, in exchange for a cap on gains (recently ≈11–13%). Judge it by its job: cutting the depth of bad years, not winning good ones.
In its one significant down year, BUFD captured well under half of the market’s loss.
Less than half the S&P 500’s, with a beta of 0.46 and a -4.21% max drawdown vs -8.25%.
Each underlying ETF is designed to absorb losses between -5% and -30% while capping upside over its one-year outcome period.
