First Trust Exchange-Traded Fund VIII – FT Vest U.S. Equity Max Buffer ETF – December is a non-diversified, actively managed U.S. exchange-traded target-outcome fund that seeks to provide investment returns, before fees and expenses, matching the price return of the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust, up to a predetermined upside cap, while seeking to buffer losses of the reference ETF over an approximately one-year December outcome period. The fund’s principal investment products are customized FLEX Options referencing SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust shares, including call-option and put-option positions designed to establish capped upside participation and downside protection. It is intended for U.S. retail and institutional investors seeking defined-outcome equity exposure through exchange-traded shares. The fund commenced operations on December 20, 2024, and is listed on Cboe under the ticker DECM. First Trust Advisors L.P. serves as investment adviser, while affiliated First Trust Portfolios L.P. acts as distributor; the Target Outcome trademarks are associated with Vest Financial LLC. For the current outcome period running from December 22, 2025 through December 18, 2026, DECM has a 7.00% starting upside cap and seeks to buffer the first 50.60% of SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust losses, before fees and expenses; the fund’s remaining cap and effective buffer change as the underlying market moves and investors purchasing after the beginning of the outcome period may not receive the stated outcomes. Its most significant recent operational development is the reset of its annual cap-and-buffer structure for the December 2025–December 2026 outcome period, replacing the prior period’s terms with a new options portfolio based on prevailing market conditions.
