Letter to Shareholders (Unaudited)
Dear Valued Shareholders,
During the year ended October 31, 2022, the U.S. equity market continued its pull-back on the heels of the swiftest interest rate hike in U.S. history. For more than a decade, we witnessed the Federal Reserve institute Quantitative Easing in an effort to spur economic growth and keep interest rates artificially low; and for the most part it worked. However, as the country emerged from the COVID-19 lockdowns and restrictions, there were a few key factors that we believe have contributed to a slowdown and to the elevated market volatility:
1. |
Record high inflation resulting both from supply chain disruptions and money supply growth |
2. |
A sharp and swift reversal in Fed policy, from highly accommodative to increasingly restrictive |
3. |
A process of revaluing future corporate earnings in light of the new interest rate regime |
Yet, while it’s important to identify short-term risks facing the economy, we believe that higher interest rates may ultimately lead to higher stock prices over time, as the increased prices of goods and services make their way through to the stock prices of the underlying companies. To that end, we think it’s important to maintain a diversified approach to investing that includes tools that both focus on growth, as well as those that seek to defend against market loss.
At Innovator, we are rooted in the development of risk-managed, growth, and income-oriented ETF solutions. Today, I’m happy to announce that more advisors are using Innovator ETFs than ever before. 2022 was a year of tremendous growth for the firm, with our flagship line of Defined Outcome ETFs™ garnering more than $5b in net flows, nearly doubling Innovator’s assets under management since this time last year.
On behalf of the team at Innovator, thank you for your confidence in us and in the products we offer. May the Lord grant all of us wisdom and peace in the months ahead.
Bruce Bond
Chief Executive Officer

Fund Performance
October 31, 2022 (Unaudited) (Continued)
The line graph and performance table does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder may pay on fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Returns shown for the Fund and S&P 500® Index - Total Return include the reinvestment of all dividends, if any. Returns shown for the S&P 500® Index - Price Return do not include the reinvestment of dividends, if any.
The S&P 500® Index is an unmanaged, capitalization-weighted index generally representative of the U.S. market for large capitalization stocks.
The Fund’s portfolio holdings may differ significantly from the securities held in the relevant index and, unlike an exchange-traded fund, the performance of an unmanaged index does not reflect deductions for transaction costs, taxes, management fees or other expenses.
You cannot invest directly in an index.
Premium/Discount Information:
Information regarding the differences between the price of the Fund’s shares on the secondary market and the Fund’s net asset value is available at Innovatoretfs.com/XUSP.

Expense Example
For the Period Ended October 31, 2022 (Unaudited)
As a shareholder of the Funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) ongoing costs, including management fees, and other Fund expenses; and (2) transaction costs, including brokerage commissions on the purchase and sale of Fund shares. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire respective period to October 31, 2022 for each Fund.
Actual Expenses
The first line under each Fund in the following table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 equals 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the applicable line under the heading titled “Expenses Paid During the Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line under each Fund in the following table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds’ actual expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which are not the Funds’ actual returns. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds with other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as brokerage commissions on the purchase and sale of Fund shares. Therefore, the second line under the Fund in the table is useful in comparing the ongoing Fund costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs could have been higher.
