- First Trust Exchange-Traded Fund VIII – FT Vest U.S. Equity Buffer & Digital Return ETF – July is an actively managed U.S.-domiciled exchange-traded fund that seeks to provide a defined-risk, target-outcome investment linked to the price performance of the State Street SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust. The Fund offers exchange-traded shares to investors seeking exposure to large-cap U.S. equities through an options-based strategy that combines a downside buffer with a predetermined digital return; it is designed to buffer the first 10% of losses in the underlying SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust’s price return and to provide a 9.37% gross digital return when the underlying ETF appreciates, is unchanged, or declines by no more than 10% during its initial target outcome period from July 20, 2026 through July 16, 2027. The Fund primarily employs FLEX Options and related options positions on the underlying ETF to construct its buffered, digital-return payoff profile; it does not seek to track an index and is subject to the effects of fees, expenses, option pricing, market conditions, and the timing of an investor’s purchase and sale of Fund shares. The Fund is a separate series of First Trust Exchange-Traded Fund VIII, a registered management investment company, and is managed by First Trust Advisors L.P. It serves retail and institutional investors in the United States through shares listed and principally traded on Cboe BZX under the ticker DGJL. The Fund was launched on July 17, 2026, with Cboe BZX listing occurring on July 20, 2026, representing First Trust’s recent expansion of its FT Vest target-outcome ETF lineup through a July-outcome vehicle focused on buffered S&P 500 ETF exposure and a stated digital-return structure.
