Who we are

A singular focus on bringing more certainty to investment outcomes has been Vest’s since 2012. The concept of Target Outcome Investments was introduced in our patent filing later that year.


In 2013, we filed with the SEC for the world’s first registered buffer fund with defined levels of downside protection and upside capture. This watershed filing, along with the partnerships, indexes and ecosystem we built, paved the way for defined outcome products that never before existed outside of the institutional realm.


While our footprint is continually growing, our focus is unwavering. Each day, we are bringing more certainty to more investors in the U.S. and abroad.

What we do

It is one thing to invent a Target Outcome Strategy in theory. It is an entirely different matter to construct and manage it optimally, and achieve the target. Our commitment, and our legacy is to do both. Our track record is unparalleled.


With our heritage of leadership and years of expertise with options strategies, capital markets and portfolio management, we hold ourselves to a higher standard. We envision and design targeted products that are light years ahead, but we will only launch them when the market is ready and the infrastructure is in place to deliver on them.

 

This culture of inventiveness, coupled with a dedication to executional excellence, is what propels Vest forward.
