You only have to read one day's worth of headlines to understand why many investors are a little nervous about their equity allocation for the coming year. Luckily, a whole new breed of ETFs can help bridge the gap: defined outcome strategies. These funds use the options market to create guardrails on investors’ equity exposure, limiting downside exposure in exchange for a cap on potential upside.

 In this one-hour webinar, ETF.com's Dave Nadig sits down with the founder of this approach, Bruce Bond, president &amp; CEO of Innovator ETFs, to help you understand:

- How to pick the right buffer levels for your portfolio
- Why buffered ETFs solve real-world problems
- Where to get information on how each fund’s returns will vary over any time horizon
- Structural, tax and implementation nuances
