Questions people ask

Why from reset to reset?
A buffer and a cap apply to a whole outcome period. Bought part way, use the entry point tool to see what is left.
What does the rest of the mix do?
Here it moves one for one with the S&P 500, as an index fund would, before fees.

Numbers from data carry their date. Anything computed from your inputs is hypothetical and before fees unless stated. Not investment advice.
