With the S&P 500 near record highs, many investors hesitate to invest, holding cash that has lost over 25% of its value to inflation since the pandemic. Traditional bonds offer limited returns capped around 4.5% to 4.75% annually, while market volatility has increased. Experts at a Goldman Sachs and Innovator ETFs panel suggest buffer ETFs, like the Innovator Defined Wealth Shield ETF (BALT), as a solution. These ETFs provide a quarterly loss buffer (20%) and cap gains, helping investors participate in equity gains with reduced downside risk, making them a potential alternative to bonds or cash for cautious investors and retirees seeking growth with defined risk limits.
