Letter to Shareholders (Unaudited)

Dear Valued Shareholders,

The 12-month period ending October 31, 2023 played out differently than many had anticipated. The S&P 500 climbed nearly 20% during the first nine months, only to fall 11% during the last three months. The recession that many expected to come never manifested, but signs of its approach began to take form.

In its fight against inflation, the Federal Reserve continued the tightening cycle it had begun earlier in 2022. In addition to increasing the Fed Funds rate 2.25 percentage points, it also reduced the size of its balance sheet by more than $800 billion over the period. These efforts appeared to pay off, as inflation fell from 7.7% at the start of the period to 3.2% by the end of it. Whether or not the Fed will be able to get inflation back down to its 2% target without also triggering a recession remains to be seen.

Equity market volatility trended lower over the period as investors grew increasingly confident that the Fed was moving closer to the end of its hawkish posture. Over the period, five stocks accounted for more than 75% of the S&P 500’s 10.1% return, hinting at the risks of such a broad index being dominated by so few constituents.

In the face of equity market uncertainty and bond market volatility, investors continued to look for ways to maintain exposure to the market’s upside potential while also seeking to mitigate downside risk. During the period, Innovator brought 20 new ETFs to market, including the first Defined Income and Defined Protection ETFs. Strong inflows contributed to a 60% increase in our assets under management. In August, we marked the five-year anniversary of the launch of the world’s first Defined Outcome ETFs. Today, with close to 100 Defined Outcome ETFs, we offer the industry’s largest and widest ranging lineup and we have no intention of slowing down.

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 are eager to continue working with you in the months ahead and wish you all the best in the coming year.

Bruce Bond,

CEO

Fund Performance Overview (Unaudited)

FFTY

October 2022 saw inflation hit its peak and a bottom for the Nasdaq composite and S&P 500. Since then, markets have been highly sensitive to economic reports in anticipation of Fed action regarding an unusually hawkish cycle.

Historically, we tend to see underperformance in the IBD 50 in the first few months from a bottom as the relative strength takes time to rotate into the next area of leadership. Interestingly, in the first three months from the October 2022 bottom the Dow Jones Industrial Average started as the leading index and then the Nasdaq took over leadership in January. Just as we would expect that rotation to solidify for the IBD 50, markets were having their own rotation.

But the trend didn’t last. The strong January led to a weak February and even more turbulence with the regional banks’ shakeup after the failure of Silicon Valley Bank. It was generally flat for the indexes and IBD 50 but we started to see a narrowness in strength that continued into the summer. While not as strong as the so-called “Magnificent Seven,” the IBD 50 did outperform the S&P 500 during this rally into the summer.

After the July 2023 near-term top, indexes took a few legs down and growth got hit the hardest. Just like in the bear market of 2022, the IBD 50 underperformed. Exacerbating the issue were the false starts that would start a rotation in the IBD 50 that wouldn’t last.

BOUT

In the previous year, markets were highly sensitive to economic reports and Fed policy actions. Market performance was largely driven by the narrow “Magnificent 7” companies – of which BOUT’s methodology does not allow for inclusion in the ETF.

The IBD Breakout Stocks Index had fewer breakouts during the time period. With fewer breakouts to choose from, the IBD Breakout Stocks tends to shift its growth bent away from the high fliers. While the IBD Breakout Stocks did underperform the S&P 500 for the year, it didn’t underperform as much as the IBD 50.

LOUP

The previous fiscal year was a strong period for technology investing as the Fed reached the end of its hiking cycle and interest rate sensitive equities were buoyed by hopes of interest rate cuts in the not-too-distant future. In particular, LOUP’s exposure to stocks that fell within the Deepwater Frontier Tech Index’s Artificial Intelligence theme drove strong performance.

INNOVATOR ETFs TRUST

Fund Performance Overview (Unaudited) (Continued)

The market was “narrow”, with Magnificent 7 stocks powering the S&P 500 to strong positive returns while U.S. equities more broadly were mostly stagnant.

Due to market-cap weight constraints that are part of the Deepwater Frontier Tech Index’s methodology, LOUP doesn’t own mega-cap technology stocks, but rather owns companies believed to be on the frontier of technology. LOUP’s ability to generate strong positive returns without exposure to the Magnificent 7 highlights the strength of the Deepwater Frontier Tech Index’s ability to identify names on the frontier of innovation, rather than established names.

EPRF

EPRF is the only 100% investment grade preferred ETF available. Investment grade preferred stocks tend to have more duration than benchmark preferred stocks because their higher credit quality typically means they are structured as perpetual cash flows (no maturity).

From 10/31/2022 through 10/31/2023, the Federal Funds Rate increased 200bps – which caused price losses for all investment vehicles with duration risk. EPRF experienced price losses because of the underlying interest rate exposure.

Additionally, EPRF performed mostly in line with benchmark preferred stocks. Despite the rapid rate of interest rate increases, lower credit quality companies have yet to completely digest the effect of higher interest rates. Accordingly – despite EPRF’s 100% investment grade holdings – higher credit quality exposure did not contribute to outperformance over the benchmark as would expect if we were to see an economic downturn.

BUFF

The Fund seeks to provide investors with returns of the Refinitiv Laddered Power Buffer Strategy Index (Index). The Index is comprised of the shares of twelve Innovator U.S. Equity Power Buffer ETFs (Underlying ETFs), the investment in which seeks to provide investors with U.S. large-cap equity market exposure while attempting to limit downside risk through a laddered portfolio of the Underlying ETFs. Under normal market conditions, the Fund will invest substantially all of its assets in the Underlying ETFs, which seek to provide investors with returns that match the price return of the SPDR® S&P 500® ETF Trust (SPY) up to a stated upside Cap, while limiting downside losses to SPY by the amount of its stated Buffer over the course of its respective Outcome Period. Unlike the Underlying ETFs, the Fund itself does not pursue a defined outcome strategy. The Buffer is only provided by the Underlying ETFs and the Fund itself does not provide any stated Buffer against losses.

The S&P 500 Index delivered strong positive returns over the year ending October 31st, 2023 -- largely driven by the performance of the "Magnificent 7" stocks as well as expectations of more accommodative monetary policy in the near future.

BUFB

The Fund seeks to provide investors with returns of the MerQube U.S. Large Cap Equity Buffer Laddered Index. The Index is comprised of the shares of twelve Innovator U.S. Equity Buffer ETFs (Underlying ETFs), the investment in which seeks to provide investors with U.S. large-cap equity market exposure while attempting to limit downside risk through a laddered portfolio of the Underlying ETFs. Under normal market conditions, the Fund will invest substantially all of its assets in the Underlying ETFs, which seek to provide investors with returns that match the price return of the SPDR® S&P 500® ETF Trust (SPY) up to a stated upside Cap, while limiting downside losses to SPY by the amount of its stated Buffer over the course of its respective Outcome Period. Unlike the Underlying ETFs, the Fund itself does not pursue a defined outcome strategy. The Buffer is only provided by the Underlying ETFs and the Fund itself does not provide any stated Buffer against losses.

BSTP & PSTP

The Fund is actively managed and seeks to provide risk-managed exposure to the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY). The Fund seeks to provide an alternative to managing and evaluating a series of buffer strategies, seeking to provide the upside of the SPY while mitigating downside losses with 9% or 15% built-in buffers.

Through the Options Portfolio, the Fund will seek to participate in the price return of the SPY, subject to investment gains up to a limit, and provide protection against SPY losses up to a limit.

The Sub-Adviser will actively monitor the performance of the Options Portfolio and, if certain criteria are met, rebalance or “step-up” the portfolio to protect capital or capture portfolio gains experienced by the Fund, depending on its evaluation of market conditions.

Fund Performance Overview (Unaudited) (Continued)

TSLH

The Fund seeks to match the returns of the Tesla Inc (TSLA) up to a stated upside Cap, while limiting downside losses to TSLA by the amount of its stated Floor over the course of the Outcome Period. Because the periods contemplated herein do not align with the Outcome Period of the Funds, the Funds’ performance stated over the periods covered by this report does not reflect the implementation of the Funds’ investment strategy for the full Outcome Period.

In markets where Tesla Inc is down, the risk mitigation attributes of the stated Floor provide an opportunity for the Funds to soften market losses during the reporting periods and outperform Tesla Inc. Alternatively, in markets where Tesla Inc is appreciating, the risk mitigation attributes of the Floor may limit the upside performance over the reporting periods by virtue of the Fund’s Cap, which limits the amount of potential Fund gains and represents the absolute maximum return that the Fund can achieve for its Outcome Period. The effect of the Cap and the Floor will also cause the Fund to experience different returns than Tesla Inc.

The year ending October 31st, 2023 was characterized by extreme volatility for Tesla. After a tumultuous Q4 2022, which saw the stock tumble after disappointing earnings and deliveries shortfalls, Tesla’s stock approximately doubled through the first three quarters of 2023. Tesla stock appreciated on the back of broad exuberance around electric vehicles, and the prospect of more accommodative monetary policy in the near future.

XUSP

The Fund is actively managed and seeks to provide investors with the potential for rates of return that outperform the price return of the SPDR® S&P 500® ETF Trust (SPY) after achieving performance thresholds.

In markets where the S&P 500 Index is down, the Fund is designed to match
the S&P 500 Index. Alternatively, in markets where the S&P 500 Index is appreciating, the Fund has potential to outperform the S&P 500 Index performance during periods where SPY achieves sustained positive performance.

Fund Performance Overview (Unaudited) (Continued)

SFLR

Through 10/31/23, SFLR Total Return since inception (11/8/22) was 11.20%, the S&P 500 Total Return was 11.36% over the same period. The options overlay portion of the portfolio is comprised of two components: short-dated call overwriting (“Calls”) and long-dated put buying (“Puts”). Calls added 3.85% and Puts detracted 4.87%. The combination thereof was a net loss of 1.02%. As such, the value contribution from call writing compensated for approximately 80% of the drag from purchasing the puts. This is in line with the objective of the fund which is to defray the cost of owning 90% floors through the systematic, sale of short-dated index calls.

The equities replication portion of the portfolio added 12.11% to performance verses the S&P 500 total return of 11.34%. The goal of the replication is to minimize tracking error verses the S&P 500 Index while respecting the 70% overlap constraint imposed by the IRS. It is expected that there will be moderate tracking error from this replication. The 0.77% of total outperformance was attributable to 0.21% from Allocation Effect (Sector Weight Differentials Relative to the S&P 500) and 0.56% from Selection Effect (Individual Security Weight Differentials Relative to the S&P 500).

IGTR

The basis for the IGTR investment strategy hinges heavily on wide performance dispersions among the indexes that IGTR evaluates. From inception of the fund (November 2022) through 10/30/23, dispersions have been historically low, which means there has been less opportunity to add value through tactical rotation decisions.

In addition, 2023 has been characterized by many extreme risk-on/risk-off moves, which presents challenges to funds like IGTR that base decisions on momentum indicators. In January of ’23, the US High Beta Index experienced an extreme positive spike, which triggered IGTR to invest there beginning in February. US High Beta steadily declined over the subsequent months, which hurt performance. This period continues to be the main period contributing to YTD underperformance relative to our benchmark.

Beginning in June 2023, we’ve seen performance steadily regain its footing and add value relative to our benchmarks.

The Index seeks to provide "laddered" investing in the twelve Innovator U.S. Equity Buffer ETFs. Laddered investing refers to investments in several similar securities that have different reset dates, with the goal of mitigating timing risks associated with investing in a single investment.

Expense Example

For the Period Ended October 31, 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 period and held for the entire period from May 1, 2023 to October 31, 2023 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.
