INNOVATOR ETFS TRUST 

 

Dear Shareholder: 

 

You are receiving this communication as you are a shareholder in one or more of the Innovator ETFs Trust Funds. There continues to be strong vote response regarding the Special Meeting of Shareholders, however, the Special Meeting has been adjourned until April 28, 2026.

 

Goldman Sachs has acquired Innovator Capital Management, the investment adviser to your ETF. Your ETF still needs to approve a new advisory agreement as part of this change. 

 

Your vote is a simple way to help us keep your funds’ management in place without possible liquidation, which may result in a taxable event.

 

NOTHING CHANGES ABOUT YOUR FUND

✓ Same investment strategy and objectives

✓ Same portfolio managers and advisory team

✓ Same management fees

✓ Same shares. Your holdings are not affected.

After careful review, the Board of Trustees unanimously recommends you vote FOR.

 

When you vote your shares, phone calls, emails and paper mailings will stop. You can vote right now by clicking the link below.
