*The historical cap ranges shown above are not intended to be predictive and reflect the highest and lowest caps available utilizing the UIT’s strategy of purchasing and writing put and call options on SPY during market conditions from 3.3.20 - 3.25.20 and are shown net of any sales charges, organization costs, and estimated ongoing trust expenses. The corresponding gross ranges for the cap over the same time period were 18.46% - 28.65%. The actual cap for each Trust will be established on the deposit date and is dependent upon market conditions at that time. Market conditions, and more specifically, volatility, may cause the cap set by each UIT to be higher or lower than the cap range stated above. “Cap” refers to the cumulative maximum potential return if held over the full 15-month term of the Trust.

The Defined Outcome Trust: Large Cap Buffer 10 Portfolio, July 2021 seeks to provide targeted returns based on the price performance of shares of the SPDR® S&P 500® ETF Trust (SPY), with upside market participation to a cap and a 10% downside buffer to help guard against the first 10% of losses (excluding fees and expenses).1

 

An Attractive Balance of a Downside Buffer with Upside Participation to a Cap

This strategy is designed to limit downside losses through a 10% downside buffer, while also offering upside return potential to a cap.1

Hypothetical example for illustrative purposes only. Please note that in order to provide a downside buffer, the Portfolio has a cap on upside returns and as a result, the Portfolio is best suited for investors seeking this risk/return outcome.

Anticipated Risk Considerations As with all investments, you may lose some or all of your investment in the trust. No assurance can be given that the trust’s investment objective will be achieved.Passive investment risk. The value of your investment may fall over time. The trust will generally hold, and may continue to buy, the same securities even though a security’s outlook, rating, market value or yield may have changed. ▪ Market risk. Market risk is the risk that a particular security in the trust, the trust itself or securities in general may fall in value. Market value may be affected by a variety of factors, including general securities markets movements, changes in the financial condition of an issuer or a sector, changes in perceptions about an issuer or a sector, interest rates and inflation and governmental policies and litigation. Additionally, event such war, terrorism, natural and environmental disasters and the spread of infectious illnesses or other public health emergencies may adversely affect the economy, various markets and issuers. Recently, the outbreak of a novel and highly contagious form of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) has adversely impacted global commercial activity and contributed to significant volatility in certain markets. Many governments and businesses have instituted quarantines and closures, which has resulted in significant disruption in manufacturing, supply chains, consumer demand and economic activity. The potential impacts are increasingly uncertain, difficult to assess and impossible to predict, and may result in significant losses. Any adverse event could materially and negatively impact the value and performance of trust and the trust’s ability to achieve its investment objectives. Although the Sponsor, who serves as the evaluator of the trust (the “evaluator”), carefully supervises your trust, you should remember that it does not manage your trust. Your trust will not sell a security solely because the market value falls, as is possible in a managed fund. ▪ Investment risk. You may lose a significant portion of your investment. The trust does not provide principal protection and you may not receive a return of the capital you invest. In addition, the units will not realize more than the capped return from the FLEX Options, even if the return on the ETF far exceeds that level. ▪ Underlying Reference Asset performance and equity risk. The trust is subject to performance and equity risk related to the Reference Asset, the Index and securities comprising the Index. The formulas used to calculate the FLEX Options’ payments at expiration are based on the price performance of the Reference Asset. The FLEX Options represent indirect positions in the Reference Asset and are subject to changes in value as the price of the Reference Asset rises or falls. The value of the FLEX Options may be adversely affected by various factors affecting the Reference Asset, the Index and the value of the securities comprising the Index. The settlement value of the FLEX Options is based on the Closing Value on the Option Expiration Date only and will be substantially determined by market conditions as of such time. The FLEX Options are intended to be liquidated as of the close of market on the Option Expiration Date rather than be exercised according to the FLEX Options’ terms in order to avoid having the trust receive shares of the Reference Asset or be obligated to deliver shares of the Reference Asset. The value of the Reference Asset will fluctuate over time based on fluctuations in the value of the stocks held by the Reference Asset, which may be impacted by changes in general economic conditions, expectations for future economic growth, and corporate profits and interest rates. Although common stocks have historically generated higher average returns than fixed income securities over the long term, common stocks also have experienced significantly more volatile returns. Common stocks are structurally subordinated to preferred stocks, bonds and other debt instruments in a company’s capital structure and represent a residual claim on the issuer’s assets that have no value unless such assets are sufficient to cover all other claims. The value of the trust does not appreciate due to dividend payments paid by the Reference Asset, because the trust does not own the Reference Asset. The trust seeks to provide target returns on the price performance of the Reference Asset, which does not include returns from dividends paid by the Reference Asset. Unitholders will not have control, voting rights or rights to receive cash dividends or other distributions or other rights that holders of a direct investment in the Reference Asset would have. ▪ Options risk. The value of the FLEX Options may change with the implied volatility of the Reference Asset, the Index and the securities comprising the Index. No one can predict whether implied volatility will rise or fall in the future. It is not anticipated that there will be an existing market for options with the same customized terms as the FLEX Options, and an active market may not be established. Prior to the trust’s inception date, there has been no existing trading market for the FLEX Options. The values of the FLEX Options do not increase or decrease at the same rate as the Reference Asset or the Index. Prior to the Option Expiration Date, the value of the FLEX Options is determined based upon market quotations, the last asked or bid price in the over-the-counter market or using other recognized pricing methods. The value of the FLEX Options prior to the Option Expiration Date may vary because of related factors other than the price of shares of the Reference Asset. Factors that may influence the value of the FLEX Options are interest rate changes, implied volatility levels of the Reference Asset, Index and securities comprising the Index and implied dividend levels of the Reference Asset, Index and securities comprising the Index, among others. Written Options risk. The Written Options may reduce the value of your units. The Written Options create an obligation to make a payment in contrast to the Purchased Options, which creates the potential for receipt of a payment. As the value of the Written Options increases, it has a negative impact on the value of your units. Credit risk. Credit risk is the risk an issuer, guarantor or counterparty of a security in the trust is unable or unwilling to meet its obligation on the security. The OCC acts as guarantor and central counterparty with respect to the FLEX Options. As a result, the ability of the trust to meet its objective depends on the OCC being able to meet its obligations. Liquidity risk. Liquidity risk is the risk that the value of a FLEX Option will fall in value if trading in the FLEX Option is limited or absent. No one can guarantee that a liquid secondary trading market will exist for the FLEX Options. Trading in the FLEX Options may be less deep and liquid than certain other securities. FLEX Options may be less liquid than certain non-customized options. The sponsor expects that the trust will hold 10% or less of its net asset value in illiquid securities. In a less liquid market for the FLEX Options, liquidating the FLEX Options upon a redemption of units may require the payment of a premium or acceptance of a discounted price and may take longer to complete. In a less liquid market for the FLEX Options, the liquidation of a large number of FLEX Options may more significantly impact the price. A less liquid trading market may adversely impact the value of the FLEX Options and your units. Valuation risk. Under certain circumstances, current market prices may not be available with respect to the FLEX Options. Under those circumstances, the value of the FLEX Options will require more reliance on the judgment of the evaluator than that required for securities for which there is an active trading market. This creates a risk of mispricing or improper valuation of the FLEX Options, which could impact the value received or paid for units. Proportional relationship risk. In the unlikely event the trust is unable to maintain the proportional relationship of the FLEX Options, it will be unable to achieve its objective. ▪ Exchange traded fund risk. Certain features of the Reference Asset, which is an exchange-traded fund, will impact the value of the units. The value of the Reference Asset is subject to the following factors: Passive investment risk. The ETF is not actively managed and attempts to track the performance of an unmanaged index of securities. This differs from an actively managed fund, which typically seeks to outperform a benchmark index. As a result, the Reference Asset will hold constituent securities of the Index regardless of the current or projected performance on a specific security or particular industry or market sector. Maintaining investments in the securities regardless of market conditions of the performance of individual securities could impact the unit price of the Reference Asset, the FLEX Options and the trust units. Tracking error. Exchange-traded funds face index correlation risk, which is the risk that the performance of an exchange-traded fund will vary from the actual performance of the target index, known as “tracking error.” The performance of the Reference Asset may not replicate the performance of, and may underperform, the Index. It is possible that the Reference Asset may not fully replicate or may, in certain circumstances, diverge significantly from the performance of the Index due to the Reference Asset not investing in all stocks comprising the Index, temporary unavailability of certain securities in the secondary market, differences in trading hours between the ETF and securities comprising the Index, the occurrence of corporate actions (mergers and spinoffs), or other circumstances. Because the return or loss on the FLEX Options references the price performance of the Reference Asset and not the Index, the return or loss on the FLEX Options and your units may be less than that of an alternative investment linked directly to the Index. Fees and expenses. Unlike the Index, the Reference Asset will reflect transaction costs and fees that will reduce its price performance relative to the Index. ▪ Discount. Shares of exchange-traded funds tend to trade at a discount from their net asset value. ▪ Dilution risk. You could experience a dilution of your investment as a result of redemption activity or expenses of the trust. There is no assurance that your investment will maintain its proportionate share in the trust’s profits and losses, or that your investment will be in the same portfolio for the duration of the trust. ▪ Cybersecurity risk. The trust may be susceptible to potential risks through breaches in cybersecurity. • Early termination risk. The trustee has the power to terminate your trust early in limited cases as described under “Understanding Your Investment— How Your Trust Works—Termination of Your Trust,” including if the value of the trust is less than $1 million or less than 40% of the value of the securities in the trust at the end of the initial offering period. If the trust terminates early, the trust may suffer losses and be unable to achieve its investment objective. This could result in a reduction in the value of units and result in a significant loss to investors.

Unit Investment Trusts are fixed, not actively managed and should be considered as part of a long-term strategy. Investors should consider their ability to invest in successive portfolios, if available, at the applicable sales charge. UITs are subject to annual fund operating expenses in addition to the sales charge. Investors should consult an attorney or tax advisor regarding tax consequences associated with an investment from one series to the next, if available, and with the purchase or sale of units.

The ability of the trust to provide the capped return or limited downside protected loss set forth in this communication is dependent on unitholders purchasing units at the trust’s inception and holding the units until the trust is terminated. Units are expected to be sold only on the trust’s inception date. If you redeem units prior to the trust’s mandatory termination date, you will not get the same exposure to the trust’s investment objective. Additionally, investors that purchase units at a price that is above the unit price at inception will have a potential maximum return that is less than the targeted maximum return per unit and may be subject to a potential loss that is greater than the targeted maximum loss per unit.

The information in this communication is not complete and may be changed. We may not sell these securities until the registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission is effective. This is not an offer to sell these securities and is not soliciting an offer to buy these securities in any state where the offer or sale is not permitted.
