Dear Valued Shareholders,

 

The 1-year period ended April 30, 2023 was noteworthy in many ways. During this 12-month stretch, investors witnessed a remarkable chain of events:

 

 

1.

Accommodative covid-era monetary policy led to the highest inflation in 40 years

 

2.

High and rising inflation led to tighter monetary policy

 

3.

Tighter monetary policy led to large bank failures

 

4.

Bank failures led to heightened stock market volatility

 

On top of all that, the Federal government reached its debt limit in early 2023 and Congress had still not resolved the matter as of April 30.

 

While many investors have dealt with the effects of high inflation, bank failures and government debt limits, few have experienced such swift and severe Fed policy tightening out of such an accommodative policy stance. If there’s anything to be learned from this period, it may be the simple reminder that the future remains unknown and the ability to have a better sense of your risk in the middle of the storm is invaluable.

 

We believe that the Fed is likely to hold interest rates higher for longer than the market has anticipated and that investors will need to learn to factor these higher rates into their thinking. In our estimation, this doesn’t translate to a full-blown “risk-off” sentiment; but to the extent that higher rates create greater market uncertainty, we continue to think investors will do well to be risk aware.

 

The heightened uncertainty during this period led a large swath of investors to look for ways to maintain market exposure with built-in risk management. Many investors looked to Innovator during this period and we were pleased to offer the industry’s largest and widest-ranging suite of Defined Outcome ETFs™, including the latest addition of our Premium Income Barrier ETFs™. Over this period, while the global equity market was up 2.6%, strong inflows resulted in our assets under management nearly doubling, rising by more than $6.5 billion over the 12-month period.

 

On behalf of the team at Innovator, thank you for the confidence and trust you’ve place in us and our products over the past year. We’ve worked to earn that trust and intend to work hard to keep it. We wish you the best in good health and prosperity in the coming year.

Expense Example

For the Period Ended April 30, 2023 (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 respective period and held for the entire respective period to April 30, 2023 for each Fund.

 

Actual Expenses

 

The following table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this table, 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 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 with respect to the Funds. Therefore, the table below is useful in comparing the ongoing 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.
