Providing new standards for a growing market, our unique investment universes allow for true side-by-side comparison
Yield
The Yield and High Yield Universes consist of ETF strategies that primarily utilize income-generating strategies, including those with autocallable, fixed-distribution, or contingent payment features. These strategies are typically designed to deliver regular cash flows with high to moderate yield and may be linked to individual stock swaps, broad indices, ETFs, or laddered baskets.

Growth
The Growth Universe includes ETFs that feature uncapped or high-capped upside participation, designed to maximize returns in bullish or trending markets. Annualized caps, when present, tend to be well above traditional growth benchmarks, enabling potential for strong equity-like returns.

Target
Strategies in this Universe hold defined outcome ETFs with performance caps that align with a return objective. The annualized cap functions as a “target return,” often with buffered downside protection. These strategies are for investors looking to lock in a specific return profile over a defined timeframe, often with favorable tax treatment.

Blended
The Blended Universe captures Defined Outcome ETF strategies that combine elements of Yield, Growth, and Target Return profiles. For example, a strategy may allocate across income-producing and also capped swaps and ETFs to deliver a balanced risk/return outcome.
