FT Vest U.S. Equity Enhance & Moderate Buffer ETF - November (XNOV) is an exchange-traded fund that seeks to deliver returns of approximately twice the positive price return of the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY), up to a predefined cap, while offering a moderate downside buffer against the first 15% of SPY losses over a one-year Target Outcome Period; the fund invests substantially all of its assets in FLEX Options referencing SPY's price performance. Launched in November 2023 and listed on Cboe BZX, XNOV operates within the defined outcome ETF segment, targeting investors seeking enhanced upside participation with loss protection in U.S. large-cap equity exposure; it is issued by First Trust Exchange-Traded Fund VIII, advised by First Trust Advisors L.P. in Wheaton, Illinois, with sub-advisory services from Vest Financial LLC. The fund resets its cap and buffer at the start of each annual Target Outcome Period based on market conditions, with recent periods showing caps around 11.30% and assets under management approximating $25-27 million as of late 2025. Recent developments include First Trust's expansion of its Target Outcome ETF lineup, adding three new funds in June 2025—FT Vest Laddered Enhance & Moderate Buffer ETF (BUFX), FT Vest Laddered Max Buffer ETF (BUFH), and others—bringing the total to over 118 funds with $29.7 billion in net assets by mid-2025, alongside ongoing monthly distribution announcements and portfolio manager updates such as Trevor Lack joining in January 2025.
