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.

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.
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.

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.

The Funds are exchange traded funds that offer one class of shares, do not charge a sales load, do not have a redemption fee and currently do not charge a 12b–1 fee to their shareholders. FFTY, BOUT, LOUP, BSTP, PSTP, SFLR and IGTR list and principally trade their shares on NYSE Arca, Inc. (“NYSE”), EPRF, BUFF, BUFB, TSLH and XUSP list and principally trade their shares on Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc. (“Cboe BZX”).
BSTP and PSTP employ a “step-up strategy” in which the sub-adviser will seek to opportunistically manage the respective Fund’s investment exposure by periodically terminating its FLEX Options investments earlier than its one-year expiration date and immediately reset the respective Fund’s options portfolio for a new one-year period. The “step-up strategy” seeks to help a Fund’s shareholder offset the timing risks inherent in owning an options package for one year. BSTP, PSTP, TSLH and XUSP do not pursue a “defined outcome strategy” or seek to achieve the full one-year investment outcomes of the options portfolio held. Unlike other Innovator ETFs that utilize a defined outcome investment strategy, they do not seek to provide shareholders with a set buffer percentage and maximum upside potential over any specified time period.

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
The Funds are investment companies and accordingly follow the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946 “Financial Services — Investment Companies”.
2. | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements. These policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).
Valuation:
The net asset values (“NAV”) of the Funds are determined as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE (normally 4:00 p.m. ET). If the NYSE closes early on a valuation day, the Funds shall determine NAV as of that time.
Portfolio securities generally shall be valued utilizing prices provided by independent pricing services. The Adviser, as the Trust’s Valuation Designee (“Valuation Designee”) is responsible for establishing valuation of portfolio securities and other instruments held by the Funds in accordance with the Trust’s valuation procedures.
Common stocks, preferred stocks, exchange traded funds and other equity securities listed on any national or foreign exchange (excluding the NASDAQ National Market (“NASDAQ”) and the London Stock Exchange Alternative Investment Market (“AIM”)) are generally valued at the last sale price on the exchange on which they are principally traded or, for NASDAQ and AIM securities, the official closing price. Securities traded on more than one securities exchange are valued at the last sale price or official closing price, as applicable, at the close of the exchange representing the principal market for such securities. Securities traded in the over–the–counter market are valued at the mean of the bid and the asked price, if available, and otherwise at their closing bid price. Redeemable securities issued by open–end investment companies shall be valued at the investment company’s applicable net asset value, with the exception of exchange–traded open–end investment companies which are priced as equity securities. Units of Mount Vernon Liquid Assets Portfolio, LLC are not traded on an exchange and are valued at the investment company’s net asset value per share as provided by the underlying fund’s administrator. Fixed income securities, swaps, currency–, credit– and commodity–linked notes, and other similar instruments will be valued using a pricing service. Fixed income securities having a remaining maturity of 60 days or less when purchased will be valued at cost adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts, provided the Valuation Designee has determined that the use of amortized cost is an appropriate reflection of fair value given market and issuer specific conditions existing at the time of the determination. Deposit accounts are valued at acquisition cost. Foreign securities and other assets denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of such currencies against the U.S. dollar as provided by the pricing service. All assets denominated in foreign currencies will be converted into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates in effect at the time of valuation. Restricted securities (with the exception of Rule 144A Securities for which market quotations are available) will normally be valued at fair value as determined by the Valuation Designee.

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
Exchange-traded option contracts (other than FLEX Option contracts) will be valued at the closing price in the market where such contracts are principally traded. If no closing price is available, they will be fair valued at the mean of their most recent bid and asked price, if available, and otherwise at their closing bid price. OTC options are fair valued at the mean of the most recent bid and asked price, if available, and otherwise at their closing bid price. FLEX Options will be valued at a model-based price provided by the exchange on which the option is traded at the official close of that exchange’s trading date. If the exchange on which the option is traded is unable to provide a model price, FLEX Options prices will be provided by backup provider Super Derivatives. Otherwise, the value of a FLEX Option will be determined by the Valuation Designee in accordance with the Trust’s valuation procedures.
If no quotation can be obtained from a pricing service, then the Valuation Designee will then attempt to obtain one or more broker quotes for the security. If no quotation is available from either a pricing service or one or more brokers or if the Valuation Designee has reason to question the reliability or accuracy of a quotation supplied or the use of amortized cost, the value of any portfolio security held by the Funds for which reliable market quotations are not readily available will be determined by the Valuation Designee in a manner that most appropriately reflects fair market value of the security on the valuation date. The use of a fair valuation method may be appropriate if, for example: (i) market quotations do not accurately reflect fair value of an investment; (ii) an investment’s value has been materially affected by events occurring after the close of the exchange or market on which the investment is principally traded (for example, a foreign exchange or market); (iii) a trading halt closes an exchange or market early; or (iv) other events result in an exchange or market delaying its normal close.

Fair Valuation Measurement:
FASB established a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Under ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement” (“ASC 820”), various inputs are used in determining the value of the Funds’ investments. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The three Levels of inputs of the fair value hierarchy are defined as follows:
• | Level 1 – | Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Funds have the ability to access. |
• | Level 2 – | Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument on an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates and similar data. |
• | Level 3 – | Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available, representing the Funds’ own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and would be based on the best information available. |
The availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to the security. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgement. Accordingly, the degree of judgement exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3.
The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety, is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

Option Contracts:
In general, an option contract is an agreement between a buyer and seller that gives the purchaser of the option the right to buy or sell a particular asset at a specified future date at an agreed upon price (commonly known as the “strike price”).
BSTP, PSTP, TSLH and XUSP invest primarily in FLEX Option contracts. FLEX Options are customized option contracts that trade on an exchange but provide investors with the ability to customize key contract terms like strike price, style and expiration date while achieving price discovery in competitive, transparent auctions markets and avoiding the counterparty exposure of over-the-counter options positions. Like traditional exchange-traded options, FLEX Options are guaranteed for settlement by the OCC, a market clearinghouse that guarantees performance by counterparties to certain derivatives contracts. The FLEX Options in which the Funds will invest are all European style options (options that are exercisable only on the expiration date). The FLEX Options are listed on the Chicago Board Options Exchange.

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
BSTP, PSTP, TSLH and XUSP will purchase and sell call and put FLEX Options. In general, put options give the holder (i.e., the buyer) the right to sell an asset (or deliver the cash value of the index, in case of an index put option) and the seller (i.e., the writer) of the put has the obligation to buy the asset (or receive cash value of the index, in case of an index put option) at a certain defined price. Call options give the holder (i.e., the buyer) the right to buy an asset (or receive cash value of the index, in case of an index call option) and the seller (i.e., the writer) the obligation to sell the asset (or deliver cash value of the index, in case of an index call option) at a certain defined price.
When BSTP, PSTP, TSLH and XUSP purchase an option, an amount equal to the premium paid by the Funds are recorded as an investment and is subsequently adjusted to the current value of the option purchased. If an option expires on the stipulated expiration date or if the Funds enter into a closing sale transaction, a gain or loss is realized. If a call option is exercised, the cost of the security acquired is increased by the premium paid for the call. If a put option is exercised, a gain or loss is realized from the sale of the underlying security, and the proceeds from such sale are decreased by the premium originally paid. Purchased options are non-income producing securities.
When BSTP, PSTP, TSLH and XUSP write an option, an amount equal to the premium received by the Funds are recorded as a liability and is subsequently adjusted to the current value of the option written. Premiums received from writing options that expire unexercised are treated by the Funds on the expiration date as realized gain from written options. The difference between the premium and the amount paid on effecting a closing purchase transaction, including brokerage commissions, is also treated as a realized gain, or if the premium is less than the amount paid for the closing purchase transaction, as a realized loss. If a call option is exercised, the premium is added to the proceeds from the sale of the underlying security in determining whether the Funds have realized a gain or loss. If a put option is exercised, the premium reduces the cost basis of the securities purchased by the Funds. BSTP, PSTP, TSLH and XUSP, as writers of an option, bear the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security underlying the written option.
All of the FLEX Option contracts held by BSTP, PSTP, TSLH and XUSP are fully funded and cash settled, therefore balance sheet offsetting under U.S. GAAP does not apply.
INNOVATOR ETFs TRUST
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
BSTP, PSTP, TSLH and XUSP bear the risk that the OCC will be unable or unwilling to perform its obligations under the FLEX Options contracts. In the unlikely event that the OCC becomes insolvent or is otherwise unable to meet its settlement obligations, the Funds could suffer significant losses. Additionally, FLEX Options may be less liquid than certain other securities such as standardized options. In less liquid market for the FLEX Options, the Funds may have difficulty closing out certain FLEX Options positions at desired times and prices. The Funds may experience substantial downside from specific FLEX Option positions and certain FLEX Option positions may expire worthless. The value of the underlying FLEX Options will be affected by, among others, changes in the value of the exchange, changes in interest rates, changes in the actual and implied volatility of the Index and the remaining time to until the FLEX Options expire. The value of the FLEX Options does not increase or decrease at the same rate as the level of the Index (although they generally move in the same direction). However, as a FLEX Option approaches its expiration date, its value typically increasingly moves with the value of the Index.

Use of Estimates:
In preparing financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Guarantees and Indemnifications:
In the normal course of business, the Trust may enter into a contract with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims against the Trust that have not yet occurred. Based on experience, the Trust expects the risk of loss to be remote.

Tax Information:
The Funds are treated as separate entities for federal income tax purposes. The Funds intend to qualify as regulated investment companies (“RICs”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”). To qualify and remain eligible for the special tax treatment accorded to RICs, the Funds must meet certain annual income and quarterly asset diversification requirements and must distribute annually at least 90% of the sum of (i) its investment company taxable income (which includes dividends, interest and net short–term capital gains) and (ii) certain net tax–exempt income, if any. If so qualified, the Funds will not be subject to federal income tax to the extent the Funds distribute substantially all of their net investment income and capital gains to shareholders.
Management evaluates the Funds’ tax positions to determine if the tax positions taken meet the minimum recognition threshold in connection with accounting for uncertainties in income tax positions taken or expected to be taken for the purposes of measuring and recognizing tax liabilities in the financial statements. Tax benefits associated with an uncertain tax position can be recognized only when the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained assuming examination by taxing authorities. Interest and penalties related to income taxes would be recorded as tax expense in the Statements of Operations. During the year or period ended October 31, 2023, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties. The Funds’ federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three fiscal years after they are filed. State and local tax returns may be subject to examination for an additional fiscal year depending on the jurisdiction. As of October 31, the Funds did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits. As of October 31, 2023, the Funds have no examinations in progress and management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. The Funds are subject to examination by U.S. Federal tax authorities for all tax years since 2019, as applicable.

U.S. GAAP requires that certain components of net assets be reclassified between distributable earnings/(accumulated deficit) and additional paid–in capital.
These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset value per share. For the year or period ended October 31, 2023, the Funds made the following permanent book–to–tax reclassifications primarily related to net operating loss forfeiture, redemptions in kind and the utilization of earnings and profits distributed to shareholders on redemptions of shares:

Distributions to Shareholders:
Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex–dividend date. FFTY, BOUT, LOUP, BUFF, BUFB, BSTP, PSTP, TSLH, XUSP and IGTR intend to pay out dividends from their net investment income, if any, annually. EPRF and SFLR intends to pay out dividends from its net investment income, if any, monthly and quarterly, respectively. Distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, will be declared and paid at least annually by the Funds. The Funds may periodically make reclassifications among certain of its capital accounts as a result of the recognition and characterization of certain income and capital gain distributions determined annually in accordance with federal tax regulations which may differ from U.S. GAAP. Distributions that exceed earnings and profits for tax purposes are reported as a return of capital.
Investment Transactions and Investment Income:
Investment transactions are recorded on the trade date. The Trust determines the gain or loss realized from investment transactions on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income, if any, is recognized on the ex–dividend date or, in the case of foreign securities, as soon as the Funds are informed of the ex–dividend dates. Interest income, including accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums is recognized on an accrual basis using the effective yield method.
INNOVATOR ETFs TRUST
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
Distributions received from investments in master limited partnerships (“MLPs”), closed–end funds, real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) and royalty trusts are comprised of ordinary income, capital gains and return of capital. For financial statement purposes, estimates are used to characterize these distributions received as return of capital, capital gains or ordinary income. Such estimates are based on historical information available from each MLP, closed–end fund, REIT or royalty trust and other industry sources. These estimates may subsequently be revised and reflected on the Form 1099 received by shareholders based on information received for the security after its tax reporting periods are concluded, as the actual character of these distributions is not known until after the fiscal year end. The distributions received from MLPs, REITs, closed–end funds, and royalty trust securities that have been classified as income and capital gains are included in dividend income and net realized gain/(loss) on investments, respectively, on the Statements of Operations. The distributions received that are classified as return of capital reduce the cost of investments on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
Purchases and sales of investments and dividend and interest income are translated into U.S. dollars using the spot market rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such translations. The gain or loss resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates is included with net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments, as appropriate. Foreign securities and currency transactions may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with those of domestic origin. Foreign securities are recorded in the financial statements after translation to U.S. dollars based on the applicable exchange rate at the end of the period. The Funds report certain foreign currency–related transactions as components of realized gains or losses for financial reporting purposes, whereas such components are treated as ordinary income for federal income tax purposes.

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
The Trust entered into an Expense Limitation Agreement on behalf of FFTY with the Adviser. Under the terms of the Expense Limitation Agreement with FFTY, the Adviser contractually agreed to waive their advisory fees and/or assume as their own expense, certain expenses otherwise payable by the Fund to the extent necessary to ensure that total annual fund operating expenses (excluding any Rule 12b–1 fees, taxes, interest, brokerage fees, acquired fund fees and expenses, expenses incurred in connection with any merger, reorganization or proxy solicitation, litigation, and other extraordinary expenses) do not exceed 0.80% of average daily net assets of FFTY until August 31, 2024. Pursuant to the terms of the Expense Limitation Agreement, Innovator is entitled to recoup any fees that it waived and/or Fund expenses that it paid for a period of three years following such fee waivers and/or expense payments. The Fund may only make such repayment to the Adviser if, after the recoupment payment has been taken into account, it does not cause the Fund’s expense ratio to exceed either the expense cap in place at the time the expenses were waived or the Fund’s current expense cap. For the year ended October 31, 2023, the Adviser waived $256,501

Net capital gains or losses resulting from in–kind redemptions are excluded for the Funds’ taxable gains and are not distributed to shareholders.
5. | CREATION AND REDEMPTION TRANSACTIONS |
There are an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest (without par value) authorized by the Trust. Individual shares of the Funds may only be purchased and sold at market prices on the applicable Exchange through a broker–dealer. Such transactions may be subject to customary commission rates imposed by the broker–dealer, and market prices for the Funds’ shares may be at, above or below its NAV depending on the premium or discount at which the Funds’ shares trade.
The Funds issue and redeem shares on a continuous basis at NAV only in blocks of shares, called “Creation Units.” Creation Units are issued and redeemed for cash or in–kind for securities included in a specified universe. Once created, shares generally trade in the secondary market at market prices that change throughout the day in amounts less than a Creation Unit. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, shares are not redeemable securities of the Funds. Shares of the Funds may only be purchased or redeemed by certain financial institutions (“Authorized Participants”). An Authorized Participant is either (i) a broker–dealer or other participant in the clearing process through the Continuous Net Settlement System of the National Securities Clearing Corporation or (ii) a DTC participant and, in each case, must have executed a Participant Agreement with the Distributor. A transaction fee is applicable to each transaction regardless of the number of units purchased or sold in the transaction. Each Fund, subject to approval by the Board of Trustees, may adjust transaction fees from time to time based upon actual experience. Additional charges received by the Funds, if any, are disclosed as Transaction Fees on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets. Most retail investors do not qualify as Authorized Participants nor have the resources to buy and sell whole Creation Units. Therefore, they are unable to purchase or redeem the shares directly from the Funds. Rather, most retail investors may purchase shares in the secondary market with the assistance of a broker and are subject to customary brokerage commissions or fees.

6. | SECURITIES LENDING |
The Funds, excluding BSTP, PSTP, TSLH and XUSP, may lend up to 331/3% of the value of the securities in their respective portfolios to brokers, dealers and financial institutions (but not individuals) under terms of participation in a securities lending program administered by the securities lending agent. The Trust has entered into a Securities Lending Agreement (“SLA”) with U.S. Bank, N.A., the Funds’ custodian (the “Agent”). Under the terms of the SLA, the Funds may lend securities to certain broker–dealers and banks in exchange for collateral in the amount of at least 102% of the value of U.S. securities loaned or at least 105% of the value of non–U.S. securities loaned, marked to market daily. The collateral can be received in the form of cash collateral and/or non–cash collateral. Non–cash collateral can include U.S. Government Securities and letters of credit. The cash collateral is invested in the Mount Vernon Liquid Assets Portfolio, LLC (“Mount Vernon”), as noted in the Funds’ Schedules of Investments. Mount Vernon seeks to maximize current income to the extent consistent with the preservation of capital and liquidity; and to maintain a stable NAV of $1.00. Mount Vernon has an overnight and continuous maturity. The market value of the loaned securities is determined daily at the close of business of the Funds and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Funds on the next business day. The Funds continue to benefit from interest or dividends on the securities loaned and may also earn a return from the collateral. The Funds pay various fees in connection with the investment of cash collateral. The Funds pay the Agent fees based on the investment income received from securities lending activities. Although risk is mitigated by the collateral, the Funds could experience a delay in recovering their securities and possible loss of income or value if the borrower fails to return them. In the event of a borrower’s material default, the Agent shall take all actions the Agent deems appropriate to liquidate the collateral, purchase replacement securities at the Agents’ expense, or pay the Funds an amount equal to the market value of the loaned securities, subject to certain limitations.
As of October 31, 2023, the values of the securities on loan, cash collateral received, and fees and interest were as follows:

The Board determined that the agreements were in the best interests of the Funds in light of the extent and quality of the services provided and such other matters as the Board considered to be relevant in the exercise of its reasonable business judgment.

Management Agreement (Unaudited) (Continued)
To reach this determination, the Board considered its duties under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as well as under the general principles of state law in reviewing and approving advisory contracts; the requirements of the 1940 Act in such matters; the fiduciary duty of investment advisers with respect to advisory agreements and compensation; the standards used by courts in determining whether investment company boards have fulfilled their duties; and the factors to be considered by the Board in voting on such agreements. To assist the Board in its evaluation of the agreements, the Independent Trustees received a separate report from each of the Adviser and the Sub-Advisers in advance of the meeting responding to a request for information provided on behalf of the Independent Trustees that, among other things, outlined the services provided by the Adviser and the Sub-Advisers to the Funds (including the relevant personnel responsible for these services and their experience); the unitary fee rate or management fee rate payable by each Fund as compared to fees charged to peer groups of the Funds and as compared to fees charged to other clients of the Adviser and the Sub-Advisers, including other ETFs managed by the Adviser and the Sub-Advisers; the expenses of the Funds as compared to expense ratios of the funds in the respective Fund’s peer group; the nature of the expenses incurred in providing services to the Funds and the potential for economies of scale, if any; financial data on the Adviser and the Sub- Advisers; any fall-out benefits accruing to the Adviser or the Sub-Advisers; and information on the Adviser’s and the Sub-Advisers’ compliance programs. The Independent Trustees also met separately with their Independent Counsel to discuss the information provided by the Adviser and the Sub-Advisers. The Board applied its business judgment to determine whether the arrangements between the Trust and the Adviser and among the Trust, the Adviser and the Sub-Advisers are reasonable business arrangements from each Fund’s perspective as well as from the perspective of each Fund’s shareholders.
In evaluating whether to approve the agreements, the Board applied its business judgment and considered the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser and Sub–Advisers pursuant to the agreements. With respect to the investment management agreement, the Board considered that the Adviser is responsible for the overall management and administration of the Funds and reviewed all of the services provided by the Adviser to the Funds, including oversight of Penserra and Milliman, as well as the background and experience of the persons responsible for such services. The Board noted that the Adviser oversees Penserra’s and Milliman’s day-to-day management of each of the Fund’s investments, including portfolio risk monitoring and performance review. In reviewing the services provided, the Board noted the compliance program that had been developed by the Adviser included an adequate program for monitoring the Adviser’s, Penserra’s, Milliman’s, and each Fund’s compliance with the 1940 Act, as well as each Fund’s compliance with its investment objective and policies. With respect to the sub-advisory agreements, the Board reviewed the materials provided by the Sub–Advisers and noted the background and experience of both Penserra’s and Milliman’s portfolio management teams and each Sub–Adviser’s investment style. In light of the information presented and the considerations made, the Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Funds by the Adviser, Penserra, and Milliman under the agreements were satisfactory.
The Board considered the historical investment performance of each of the Funds for the respective one, three and five-year periods ended March 31, 2023 including NAV, market and respective index returns.
The Board reviewed the annual tracking error (NAV return to index return) for each of the applicable Funds that track an index.

Board Considerations Regarding Approval of Investment
Management Agreement (Unaudited) (Continued)
The Adviser noted that index tracking error may be most impacted by index methodologies which rebalance frequently, and many indexes rebalance their constituents annually or quarterly, whereas, notably, FFTY rebalances weekly. The Adviser further explained that more frequent rebalancing activity may generally result in greater tracking error of the ETF to an index, as portfolio turnover may take greater time for managing execution and price sensitivity. It was further noted that frequent rebalances also increase trading costs, including in connection with custom baskets, and cash drag may be amplified as compared to the index performance.
The Adviser explained that these factors which may contribute to higher tracking error may also apply to LOUP, which includes international holdings for its technology exposure. The Adviser noted that in those instances where selecting an ADR over direct listed exposures from harder-to-access markets may demonstrate divergence in performance, and as an optimized portfolio LOUP may also be more sensitive to diverge from the underlying index when excluding one position in favor of another. In addition, it was noted that ETFs which hold preferred securities, such as EPRF, tend to have slightly larger tracking error.
The Board considered the unitary fee rate or management fee rate, as applicable, paid by each Fund under the investment management agreement for the services provided.
The Board noted that except for the Innovator IBD 50® ETF, the Adviser is responsible for the Funds’ expenses, including the cost of transfer agency, custody, fund administration, legal, audit and other services and license fees (if any), but excluding the fee payment under the investment management agreement, interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and other expenses connected with the execution of portfolio transactions, and extraordinary expenses. The Board received and reviewed information for the Funds showing the advisory fee rates and expense ratios of the funds comprising of each Fund’s peer group, as well as advisory fee rates charged by the Adviser, Penserra, and Milliman to other funds (including ETFs) and non-fund clients, as applicable.
In light of the information considered and the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Funds under the agreements, the Board determined that the unitary fee or management fee for each of the Funds, including the fee rate to be paid by the Adviser to the Sub–Advisers from the unitary fee or management fee, was fair.

Board Considerations Regarding Approval of Investment
Management Agreement (Unaudited) (Continued)
The Board noted that the respective unitary fee or management fee for each of the Funds was structured to pass the benefits of any economies of scale on to shareholders as the respective Fund’s assets grow. The Board noted that any reduction in fixed costs associated with the management of the respective Fund would benefit the Adviser, Penserra, and Milliman, but that the unitary fee and management fee structure provides a level of certainty in expenses for each of the Funds. The Board noted that the Adviser is continuing to invest in personnel and infrastructure for the Innovator fund complex.
The Board noted that costs associated with higher-than-industry average index license fees, the construction and execution of index methodology, and the necessary cost for an experienced sub-adviser also impact the costs of offering the Funds.
The Board reviewed profitability information in connection with the Funds.
The Board considered potential “fall-out” or ancillary benefits anticipated to be received by the Adviser, Penserra, and Milliman. The Board concluded that the character and amount of potential fall-out benefits to the Adviser, Penserra, and Milliman were consistent with the types of benefits generally derived by investment managers and sub-advisers to funds.
Based on all of the information considered and the conclusions reached, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously determined that the terms of the agreements are fair and that the approval of the agreements is in the best interests of the Funds. No single factor was determinative in the Board’s analysis, and individual Trustees may have evaluated the information presented differently from one another, attributing different weights to various factors.

7. | LIQUIDITY RISK MANAGEMENT PROGRAM |
Consistent with Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, Innovator ETFs Trust (“Trust”), on behalf of each of its series (each a “Fund” and, collectively, the “Funds”), has established a liquidity risk management program to govern the Funds’ approach to managing liquidity risk (the “Program”). The Program is overseen by the Trust’s Valuation Committee as the Program Administrator, a committee comprised of representatives of the Trust’s investment adviser, Innovator Capital Management LLC and representatives of Milliman Financial Risk Management LLC, the sub-adviser for certain of the Funds (the “Committee”). The Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) has approved the designation of the Committee to administer the Program.
The Program’s principal objectives include supporting the Funds’ compliance with limits on investments in illiquid assets and mitigating the risk that a Fund will be unable to meet its redemption obligations in a timely manner. The Program also includes a number of elements that support the management and assessment of liquidity risk, including an annual assessment of factors that influence each Fund’s liquidity and the periodic classification and re-classification of certain Funds’ investments into groupings that reflect the Committee’s assessment of their relative liquidity under current market conditions.
At a meeting of the Board held on September 11, 2023, the Trustees received a written report from the Committee regarding the design and operational effectiveness of the Program which has been in operation since September 2019. The Committee determined, and reported to the Board, that the Program is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Funds’ liquidity risk and has operated adequately and effectively to manage the Funds’ liquidity risk since implementation. The Committee reported that during the period covered by the report, there were no liquidity events that impacted the Funds or their ability to timely meet redemptions without dilution to existing shareholders. The Committee also noted no Fund has filed a Form N-LIQUID with the SEC.

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)
The performance overview below applies to the following funds:
● | Innovator Emerging Markets Power Buffer ETF – January |
● | Innovator Emerging Markets Power Buffer ETF – April |
● | Innovator Emerging Markets Power Buffer ETF – July |
● | Innovator Emerging Markets Power Buffer ETF – October |
The Fund seeks to match the price returns of the iShares MSCI Emerging Markets ETF (EEM) up to a stated upside Cap, while limiting downside losses to EEM by the amount of its stated Buffer 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 the MSCI Emerging Markets Index is down, the risk mitigation attributes of the stated Buffer provide an opportunity for the Funds to soften market losses during the reporting periods and outperform the MSCI Emerging Markets Index. Alternatively, in markets where the MSCI Emerging Markets Index is appreciating, the risk mitigation attributes of the Buffer 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 Buffer will also cause the Fund to experience different returns than EEM.
The year ending October 31st, 2023 saw moderate growth from the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, driven by strong performance through Q4 2022 and January 2023 as EM economies benefited from the prospect of deglobalization. However, rising interest rates in the US throughout 2023 delivered a shock to EM debt, increasing borrowing costs and presenting a headwind to economic growth.

● | Innovator International Developed Power Buffer ETF – April |
● | Innovator International Developed Power Buffer ETF – July |
● | Innovator International Developed Power Buffer ETF – September |
● | Innovator International Developed Power Buffer ETF – October |
The Fund seeks to match the price returns of the iShares MSCI EAFE ETF (EFA) up to a stated upside Cap, while limiting downside losses to EFA by the amount of its stated Buffer 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 the MSCI EAFE Index is down, the risk mitigation attributes of the stated Buffer provide an opportunity for the Funds to soften market losses during the reporting periods and outperform the MSCI EAFE Index. Alternatively, in markets where the MSCI EAFE Index is appreciating, the risk mitigation attributes of the Buffer 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 Buffer will also cause the Fund to experience different returns than EFA.
The MSCI EAFE Index delivered strong performance over the year ending October 31st, 2023. Performance was especially strong over the first three quarters, driven in part by a weaker U.S. dollar. As borrowing costs rose and expectations shifted toward higher for longer interest rates in Q3 2023, international developed economies posted losses as investors repositioned for potential macroeconomic headwinds.

Fund Performance Overview (Unaudited) (Continued)
The performance overview below applies to the following funds:
● | Innovator 20+ Year Treasury Bond 9 Buffer ETF – July |
The Fund seeks to match the price returns of the iShares 20+ Year U.S. Treasury ETF (TLT) up to a stated upside Cap, while limiting downside losses to TLT by the amount of its stated Buffer 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 the I.C.E US Treasury 20+ Year Index is down, the risk mitigation attributes of the stated Buffer provide an opportunity for the Funds to soften market losses during the reporting periods and outperform the I.C.E US Treasury 20+ Year Index. Alternatively, in markets where the I.C.E US Treasury 20+ Year Index is appreciating, the risk mitigation attributes of the Buffer 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 Buffer will also cause the Fund to experience different returns than TLT.
The year ending October 31st, 2023 was difficult for 20+ Year Treasuries given the restrictive macroeconomic environment. Longer dated fixed income instruments carry the most interest rate risk – and as the Fed continued to hike rates, 20+ Year Treasuries posted further price losses.

The Fund seeks to match the price returns 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 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.

The effect of the Cap and the Buffer will also cause the Fund to experience different returns than SPY.
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.

● | Innovator Double Stacker ETF – January |
● | Innovator Triple Stacker ETF – January |
The Fund seeks to match the price returns of the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY), plus any positive returns of one or two additional benchmark ETFs, up to a stated upside Cap, 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 the S&P 500 Index is down, the Fund will generally provide similar losses to the S&P 500 Index plus any benchmark ETF gains at the end of the Outcome Period, subject to the Cap. Alternatively, in markets where the S&P 500 Index or the benchmark ETFs are appreciating, the Fund seeks to provide returns of SPY plus benchmark ETF gains, limited by 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 Buffer will also cause the Fund to experience different returns than SPY and the benchmark ETFs.

The Nasdaq-100 Index posted strong positive performance over the year ending October 31st, 2023 as the technology industry continued to deliver strong earnings despite higher interest rates. With the Fed reaching the end of its hiking cycle, investor excitement about more accommodative monetary policy in the future delivered further tailwinds to the index which is highly concentrated in Magnificent 7 companies.

Fund Performance Overview (Unaudited) (Continued)
The performance overview below applies to the following funds:
● | Innovator U.S. Small Cap Power Buffer ETF – January |
● | Innovator U.S. Small Cap Power Buffer ETF – April |
● | Innovator U.S. Small Cap Power Buffer ETF – July |
● | Innovator U.S. Small Cap Power Buffer ETF – October |
The Fund seeks to match the price returns of the iShares Russell 2000 ETF (IWM) up to a stated upside Cap, while limiting downside losses to IWM by the amount of its stated Buffer 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 the Russell 2000 Index is down, the risk mitigation attributes of the stated Buffer provide an opportunity for the Funds to soften market losses during the reporting periods and outperform the Russell 2000 Index. Alternatively, in markets where the Russell 2000 Index is appreciating, the risk mitigation attributes of the Buffer 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 Buffer will also cause the Fund to experience different returns than IWM.
The Russell 2000 Index posted sluggish growth over the year ending October 31st, 2023. Small cap companies, which tend to be more vulnerable to monetary policy actions, delivered mixed results as companies digested the costs of higher interest rates.

The Funds seek to provide accelerated returns of the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY) up to a stated Cap 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 the S&P 500 Index is down, the Fund will generally provide similar losses to the S&P 500 Index at the end of the Outcome Period. Alternatively, in markets where the S&P 500 Index is appreciating, the Funds seek to provide accelerated returns of SPY, limited by the Fund’s Cap, which limits the amount of potential accelerated Fund gains and represents the absolute maximum return that the Fund can achieve for its Outcome Period. The effect of the Cap may also cause the Fund to experience different returns than SPY.
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.

(a) | Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the six month period). |
(b) | Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio (0.85%), multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 61/365 (to reflect the six month period). |
(c) | Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio (0.79%), multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 106/365 (to reflect the period since the Fund's inception). |
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.

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
The Funds are exchange traded funds that offer one class of shares, do not charge a sales load, do not have a redemption fee and currently do not charge a 12b-1 fee to their shareholders. The Innovator International Developed and Emerging Markets ETFs list and principally trade their shares on NYSE Arca (“NYSE”). All other Innovator ETFs included in this report each, respectively, list and principally trade their shares on Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc. (“Cboe BZX”).
Each Fund employs a specific “defined outcome strategy.” Defined outcome strategies generally seek to produce pre-determined investment outcomes based upon the performance of an index or one or more underlying securities. The Funds’ pre-determined outcomes (“Outcomes”) are based upon the price performance of a benchmark index or one or more underlying exchange-traded fund (the “Benchmark”) over a period of approximately one year or another predetermined period (“Outcome Period”). The Funds’ investment strategy provides shareholders with participation in any gains experienced by the applicable Benchmark over the course of the Outcome Period, subject to a cap on upside returns (a “Cap”), and, if applicable, a predetermined buffer (a “Buffer”) against Benchmark losses for the Outcome Period. These defined outcomes are managed by purchasing and selling call and put FLexible EXchange Options (“FLEX Options”) to create layers within a Fund’s portfolio. Each Fund’s FLEX Option has the same reference asset and expiration date, with uniquely selected strike prices for the Fund’s Outcome Period. Due to the customizable nature of FLEX Options that allows for specific strike prices to be selected for the same reference asset and expiration date, when each of the FLEX Options expire on the last day of the Outcome Period, the Funds are expected to achieve a Benchmark investment return with the applicable Buffer and Cap investment parameters.
The Funds are investment companies and accordingly follow the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946 “Financial Services — Investment Companies”.

2. | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements. These policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).
Valuation:
The net asset values (“NAV”) of the Funds are determined as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE (normally 4:00 p.m. ET). If the NYSE closes early on a valuation day, the Funds shall determine NAV as of that time.
Portfolio securities generally shall be valued utilizing prices provided by independent pricing services. The Adviser, as the Trust’s Valuation Designee (“Valuation Designee”) is responsible for establishing valuation of portfolio securities and other instruments held by the Funds in accordance with the Trust’s valuation procedures.
Common stocks, preferred stocks and other equity securities listed on any national or foreign exchange (excluding the NASDAQ National Market (“NASDAQ”) and the London Stock Exchange Alternative Investment Market (“AIM”)) are generally valued at the last sale price on the exchange on which they are principally traded or, for NASDAQ and AIM securities, the official closing price. Securities traded on more than one securities exchange are valued at the last sale price or official closing price, as applicable, at the close of the exchange representing the principal market for such securities. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued at the mean of the bid and the asked price, if available, and otherwise at their closing bid price. Redeemable securities issued by open-end investment companies shall be valued at the investment company’s applicable net asset value, with the exception of exchange-traded open-end investment companies which are priced as equity securities. Fixed income securities, swaps, currency-, credit- and commodity-linked notes, and other similar instruments will be valued using a pricing service. Fixed income securities having a remaining maturity of 60 days or less when purchased will be valued at cost adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts, provided the Valuation Designee has determined that the use of amortized cost is an appropriate reflection of fair value given market and issuer specific conditions existing at the time of the determination. Deposit accounts are valued at acquisition cost. Foreign securities and other assets denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of such currencies against the U.S. dollar as provided by the pricing service. All assets denominated in foreign currencies will be converted into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates in effect at the time of valuation. Restricted securities (with the exception of Rule 144A Securities for which market quotations are available) will normally be valued at fair value as determined by the Valuation Designee.

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
Exchange-traded option contracts (other than FLEX Option contracts) will be valued at the closing price in the market where such contracts are principally traded. If no closing price is available, they will be fair valued at the mean of their most recent bid and asked price, if available, and otherwise at their closing bid price. OTC options are fair valued at the mean of the most recent bid and asked price, if available, and otherwise at their closing bid price. FLEX Options will be valued at a model-based price provided by the exchange on which the option is traded at the official close of that exchange’s trading date. If the exchange on which the option is traded is unable to provide a model price, FLEX Options prices will be provided by backup provider Super Derivatives. Otherwise, the value of a FLEX Option will be determined by the Valuation Designee in accordance with the Trust’s valuation procedures.
If no quotation can be obtained from a pricing service, then the Valuation Designee will then attempt to obtain one or more broker quotes for the security. If no quotation is available from either a pricing service or one or more brokers or if the Valuation Designee has reason to question the reliability or accuracy of a quotation supplied or the use of amortized cost, the value of any portfolio security held by the Funds for which reliable market quotations are not readily available will be determined by the Valuation Designee in a manner that most appropriately reflects fair market value of the security on the valuation date. The use of a fair valuation method may be appropriate if, for example: (i) market quotations do not accurately reflect fair value of an investment; (ii) an investment’s value has been materially affected by events occurring after the close of the exchange or market on which the investment is principally traded (for example, a foreign exchange or market); (iii) a trading halt closes an exchange or market early; or (iv) other events result in an exchange or market delaying its normal close.

Fair Valuation Measurement:
FASB established a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Under ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement” (“ASC 820”), various inputs are used in determining the value of the Funds’ investments. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The three Levels of inputs of the fair value hierarchy are defined as follows:
• | Level 1 – | Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Funds have the ability to access. | |
• | Level 2 – | Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument on an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates and similar data. | |
• | Level 3 – | Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available, representing the Funds’ own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and would be based on the best information available. |
The availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to the security. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgement. Accordingly, the degree of judgement exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3.
The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety, is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

There were no Level 3 investments for the Funds during the year or period ended October 31, 2023.
Option Contracts:
In general, an option contract is an agreement between a buyer and seller that gives the purchaser of the option the right to buy or sell a particular asset at a specified future date at an agreed upon price (commonly known as the “strike price”).
The Funds invest primarily in FLEX Option contracts. FLEX Options are customized option contracts that trade on an exchange but provide investors with the ability to customize key contract terms like strike price, style and expiration date while achieving price discovery in competitive, transparent auctions markets and avoiding the counterparty exposure of over-the-counter options positions. Like traditional exchange-traded options, FLEX Options are guaranteed for settlement by the OCC, a market clearinghouse that guarantees performance by counterparties to certain derivatives contracts. The FLEX Options in which the Funds will invest are all European style options (options that are exercisable only on the expiration date). The FLEX Options are listed on the Chicago Board Options Exchange.
The Funds will purchase and sell call and put FLEX Options. In general, put options give the holder (i.e., the buyer) the right to sell an asset (or deliver the cash value of the index, in case of an index put option) and the seller (i.e., the writer) of the put has the obligation to buy the asset (or receive cash value of the index, in case of an index put option) at a certain defined price. Call options give the holder (i.e., the buyer) the right to buy an asset (or receive cash value of the index, in case of an index call option) and the seller (i.e., the writer) the obligation to sell the asset (or deliver cash value of the index, in case of an index call option) at a certain defined price.

When the Funds purchase an option, an amount equal to the premium paid by the Funds are recorded as an investment and is subsequently adjusted to the current value of the option purchased. If an option expires on the stipulated expiration date or if the Funds enter into a closing sale transaction, a gain or loss is realized. If a call option is exercised, the cost of the security acquired is increased by the premium paid for the call. If a put option is exercised, a gain or loss is realized from the sale of the underlying security, and the proceeds from such sale are decreased by the premium originally paid. Purchased options are non-income producing securities.
When the Funds write an option, an amount equal to the premium received by the Funds are recorded as a liability and is subsequently adjusted to the current value of the option written. Premiums received from writing options that expire unexercised are treated by the Funds on the expiration date as realized gain from written options. The difference between the premium and the amount paid on effecting a closing purchase transaction, including brokerage commissions, is also treated as a realized gain, or if the premium is less than the amount paid for the closing purchase transaction, as a realized loss. If a call option is exercised, the premium is added to the proceeds from the sale of the underlying security in determining whether the Funds have realized a gain or loss. If a put option is exercised, the premium reduces the cost basis of the securities purchased by the Funds. The Funds, as writers of an option, bear the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security underlying the written option.
All of the FLEX Option contracts held by the Funds are fully funded and cash settled, therefore balance sheet offsetting under U.S. GAAP does not apply.
The Funds bear the risk that the OCC will be unable or unwilling to perform its obligations under the FLEX Options contracts. In the unlikely event that the OCC becomes insolvent or is otherwise unable to meet its settlement obligations, the Funds could suffer significant losses. Additionally, FLEX Options may be less liquid than certain other securities such as standardized options. In less liquid market for the FLEX Options, the Funds may have difficulty closing out certain FLEX Options positions at desired times and prices. The Funds may experience substantial downside from specific FLEX Option positions and certain FLEX Option positions may expire worthless. The value of the underlying FLEX Options will be affected by, among others, changes in the value of the exchange, changes in interest rates, changes in the actual and implied volatility of the Index and the remaining time to until the FLEX Options expire. The value of the FLEX Options does not increase or decrease at the same rate as the level of the Index (although they generally move in the same direction). However, as a FLEX Option approaches its expiration date, its value typically increasingly moves with the value of the Index.

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
Use of Estimates:
In preparing financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Guarantees and Indemnifications:
In the normal course of business, the Trust may enter into a contract with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims against the Trust that have not yet occurred. Based on experience, the Trust expects the risk of loss to be remote.
Tax Information:
The Funds are treated as separate entities for federal income tax purposes. The Funds intend to qualify as regulated investment companies (“RICs”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”). To qualify and remain eligible for the special tax treatment accorded to RICs, the Funds must meet certain annual income and quarterly asset diversification requirements and must distribute annually at least 90% of the sum of (i) its investment company taxable income (which includes dividends, interest and net short-term capital gains) and (ii) certain net tax-exempt income, if any. If so qualified, the Funds will not be subject to federal income tax to the extent the Funds distribute substantially all of their net investment income and capital gains to shareholders.
Management evaluates the Funds’ tax positions to determine if the tax positions taken meet the minimum recognition threshold in connection with accounting for uncertainties in income tax positions taken or expected to be taken for the purposes of measuring and recognizing tax liabilities in the financial statements. Tax benefits associated with an uncertain tax position can be recognized only when the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained assuming examination by taxing authorities. Interest and penalties related to income taxes would be recorded as tax expense in the Statements of Operations. During the year or period ended October 31, 2023, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties. The Funds’ federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three fiscal years after they are filed. State and local tax returns may be subject to examination for an additional fiscal year depending on the jurisdiction. As of October 31, 2023, the Funds did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits. As of October 31, 2023, the Funds have no examinations in progress and management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. The Funds are subject to examination by U.S. Federal tax authorities for all tax years since inception.

U.S. GAAP requires that certain components of net assets be reclassified between distributable earnings/(accumulated deficit) and additional paid-in capital. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset value per share. For the year or period ended October 31, 2023, the Funds made the following permanent book-to-tax reclassifications due to net operating losses and redemption in-kind transactions:

5. | CREATION AND REDEMPTION TRANSACTIONS |
There are an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest (without par value) authorized by the Trust. Individual shares of the Funds may only be purchased and sold at market prices on the applicable Exchange through a broker-dealer. Such transactions may be subject to customary commission rates imposed by the broker-dealer, and market prices for the Funds’ shares may be at, above or below its NAV depending on the premium or discount at which the Funds’ shares trade.
The Funds issue and redeem shares on a continuous basis at NAV only in blocks of shares called “Creation Units.” Creation Units are issued and redeemed principally for cash. Once created, shares generally trade in the secondary market at market prices that change throughout the day in amounts less than a Creation Unit. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, shares are not redeemable securities of the Funds. Shares of the Funds may only be purchased or redeemed by certain financial institutions (“Authorized Participants”). An Authorized Participant is either (i) a broker-dealer or other participant in the clearing process through the Continuous Net Settlement System of the National Securities Clearing Corporation or (ii) a DTC participant and, in each case, must have executed a Participant Agreement with the Distributor. A transaction fee is applicable to each transaction regardless of the number of units purchased or sold in the transaction. Each Fund, subject to approval by the Board of Trustees, may adjust transaction fees from time to time based upon actual experience. Additional charges received by the Funds, if any, are disclosed as Transaction Fees on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets. Most retail investors do not qualify as Authorized Participants nor have the resources to buy and sell whole Creation Units. Therefore, they are unable to purchase or redeem the shares directly from the Funds. Rather, most retail investors may purchase shares in the secondary market with the assistance of a broker and are subject to customary brokerage commissions or fees.

The Board determined that the agreements were in the best interests of the Funds in light of the extent and quality of the services provided and such other matters as the Board considered to be relevant in the exercise of its reasonable business judgment.
INNOVATOR ETFs TRUST
Board Considerations Regarding Approval of Investment Management Agreement (Unaudited)
To reach this determination, the Board considered its duties under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as well as under the general principles of state law in reviewing and approving advisory contracts; the requirements of the 1940 Act in such matters; the fiduciary duty of investment advisers with respect to advisory agreements and compensation; the standards used by courts in determining whether investment company boards have fulfilled their duties; and the factors to be considered by the Board in voting on such agreements. To assist the Board in its evaluation of the agreements, the Independent Trustees received a separate report from each of the Adviser and the Sub–Adviser in advance of the Meeting responding to a request for information provided on behalf of the Independent Trustees that, among other things, outlined the services provided by the Adviser and the Sub–Adviser to the Funds (including the relevant personnel responsible for these services and their experience); the unitary fee rate payable by each Fund as compared to fees charged to peer groups of the Funds and as compared to fees charged to other clients of the Adviser and the Sub–Adviser, including other ETFs managed by the Adviser and the Sub–Adviser; the expenses of the Funds as compared to expense ratios of the funds in the respective Fund’s peer group; the nature of the expenses incurred in providing services to the Funds and the potential for economies of scale, if any; financial data on the Adviser and the Sub–Adviser; any fall–out benefits accruing to the Adviser or the Sub–Adviser; and information on the Adviser’s and the Sub–Adviser’s compliance programs. The Independent Trustees also met separately with their Independent Counsel to discuss the information provided by the Adviser and the Sub–Adviser. The Board applied its business judgment to determine whether the arrangements between the Trust and the Adviser and among the Trust, the Adviser and the Sub–Adviser are reasonable business arrangements from each Fund’s perspective as well as from the perspective of each Fund’s shareholders.
In evaluating whether to approve the agreements, the Board applied its business judgment and considered the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser and Milliman pursuant to the agreements. With respect to the investment management agreement, the Board considered that the Adviser is responsible for the overall management and administration of the Funds and reviewed all of the services provided by the Adviser to the Funds, including oversight of Milliman, as well as the background and experience of the persons responsible for such services. The Board noted that the Adviser oversees Milliman’s day–to–day management of each of the Fund’s investments, including portfolio risk monitoring and performance review. In reviewing the services provided, the Board noted the compliance program that had been developed by the Adviser included an adequate program for monitoring the Adviser’s, Milliman’s and each Fund’s compliance with the 1940 Act, as well as each Fund’s compliance with its investment objective and policies. With respect to the sub– advisory agreement, the Board reviewed the materials provided by Milliman and noted the background and experience of Milliman’s portfolio management team and Milliman’s investment style. In light of the information presented and the considerations made, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided to the Funds by the Adviser and Milliman under the agreements were expected to be satisfactory.
INNOVATOR ETFs TRUST
Board Considerations Regarding Approval of Investment Management Agreement (Unaudited)
The Board considered the historical investment performance of each of the Funds (where applicable) for the respective one, three and five-year periods ended March 31, 2023 including NAV, market, and respective index returns.
The Board considered the unitary fee rate or management fee rate, as applicable, currently paid by each Fund under the investment management agreement for the services provided.
The Board noted that the Adviser is responsible for the Funds’ expenses, including the cost of transfer agency, custody, fund administration, legal, audit and other services and license fees (if any), but excluding the fee payment under the investment management agreement, interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and other expenses connected with the execution of portfolio transactions, and extraordinary expenses. The Board received and reviewed information for the Funds showing the advisory fee rates and expense ratios of the funds comprising of each Fund’s peer group, as well as advisory fee rates charged by the Adviser and Milliman to other funds (including ETFs) and non–fund clients, as applicable.
In light of the information considered and the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Funds under the agreements, the Board determined that the unitary fee for each of the Funds, including the fee rate to be paid by the Adviser to Milliman from the unitary fee, was fair.
The Board noted that the unitary fee for each of the Funds were structured to pass the benefits of any economies of scale on to shareholders as the respective Fund’s assets grow. The Board noted that any reduction in fixed costs associated with the management of the respective Fund would benefit the Adviser and Milliman, but that the unitary fee structure provides a level of certainty in expenses for each of the Funds. The Board noted that the Adviser is continuing to invest in personnel and infrastructure for the Innovator fund complex.
The Board reviewed profitability information in connection with the Funds.
INNOVATOR ETFs TRUST
Board Considerations Regarding Approval of Investment Management Agreement (Unaudited)
The Board considered potential “fall–out” or ancillary benefits anticipated to be received by the Adviser and Milliman. The Board concluded that the character and amount of potential fall–out benefits to the Adviser and Milliman were consistent with the types of benefits generally derived by investment managers and sub–advisers to funds.
Based on all of the information considered and the conclusions reached, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously determined that the terms of the agreements are fair and that the approval of the agreements is in the best interests of the Funds. No single factor was determinative in the Board’s analysis, and individual Trustees may have evaluated the information presented differently from one another, attributing different weights to various factors.

The Board determined that the agreements were in the best interests of the Funds in light of the extent and quality of the services expected to be provided and such other matters as the Board considered to be relevant in the exercise of its reasonable business judgment.
To reach this determination, the Board considered its duties under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as well as under the general principles of state law in reviewing and approving advisory contracts; the requirements of the 1940 Act in such matters; the fiduciary duty of investment advisers with respect to advisory agreements and compensation; the standards used by courts in determining whether investment company boards have fulfilled their duties; and the factors to be considered by the Board in voting on such agreements. To assist the Board in its evaluation of the agreements, the Independent Trustees received a separate report from each of the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser in advance of the Meeting responding to a request for information provided on behalf of the Independent Trustees that, among other things, outlined the services to be provided by the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser to the Funds (including the relevant personnel responsible for these services and their experience); the proposed unitary fee rate payable by each Fund as compared to fees charged to peer groups of the Funds and as compared to fees charged to other clients of the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser, including other ETFs managed by the Adviser and the Sub- Adviser; the estimated expenses of the Funds as compared to expense ratios of the funds in the respective Fund’s peer group; the nature of the expenses to be incurred in providing services to the Funds and the potential for economies of scale, if any; financial data on the Adviser and the Sub- Adviser; any fall-out benefits accruing to the Adviser or the Sub-Adviser; and information on the Adviser’s and the Sub-Adviser’s compliance programs. The Independent Trustees also met separately with their Independent Counsel to discuss the information provided by the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser. The Board applied its business judgment to determine whether the arrangements between the Trust and the Adviser and among the Trust, the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser are reasonable business arrangements from each Fund’s perspective as well as from the perspective of each Fund’s shareholders.

Board Considerations Regarding Approval of Investment Management Agreement (Unaudited)
In evaluating whether to approve the agreements, the Board applied its business judgment and considered the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by the Adviser and Milliman pursuant to the agreements. With respect to the investment management agreement, the Board considered that the Adviser will be responsible for the overall management and administration of the Funds and reviewed all of the services to be provided by the Adviser to the Funds, including oversight of Milliman, as well as the background and experience of the persons responsible for such services. The Board noted that the Adviser will oversee Milliman’s day-to-day management of each of the Fund’s investments, including portfolio risk monitoring and performance review. In reviewing the services to be provided, the Board noted the compliance program that had been developed by the Adviser included an adequate program for monitoring the Adviser’s, Milliman’s and each Fund’s compliance with the 1940 Act, as well as each Fund’s compliance with its investment objective and policies. With respect to the sub-advisory agreement, the Board reviewed the materials provided by Milliman and noted the background and experience of Milliman’s portfolio management team and Milliman’s investment style. In light of the information presented and the considerations made, the Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided to the Funds by the Adviser and Milliman under the agreements were expected to be satisfactory.
Since the Funds had yet to commence investment operations, the Board could not consider the historical investment performance of the Funds.
The Board considered the proposed unitary fee rate payable by each Fund under the investment management agreement for the services to be provided. The Board noted that, under the unitary fee arrangement, ISEP and INOV would pay the Adviser a unitary fee equal to an annual rate of 0.85% of its average daily net assets, and TJUL would pay the Adviser a unitary fee equal to an annual rate of 0.79% of its average daily net assets. The Board considered that, from the unitary fee for each of the Funds, the Adviser would pay Milliman an annual sub-advisory fee equal to 0.12% on the Fund’s assets under management.

Board Considerations Regarding Approval of Investment Management Agreement (Unaudited)
The Board noted that the Adviser would be responsible for the Funds’ expenses, including the cost of transfer agency, custody, fund administration, legal, audit and other services and license fees (if any), but excluding the fee payment under the investment management agreement, interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and other expenses connected with the execution of portfolio transactions, and extraordinary expenses. The Board received and reviewed information for the Funds showing the advisory fee rates and expense ratios of the funds comprising of each Fund’s peer group, as well as advisory fee rates charged by the Adviser and Milliman to other funds (including ETFs) and non-fund clients, as applicable. In light of the information considered and the nature, extent and quality of the services expected to be provided to the Funds under the agreements, the Board determined that the proposed unitary fee for each of the Funds, including the fee rate to be paid by the Adviser to Milliman from the unitary fee, was fair.
The Board noted that the proposed unitary fee for each of the Funds was structured to pass the benefits of any economies of scale on to shareholders as the respective Fund’s assets grow. The Board noted that any reduction in fixed costs associated with the management of the respective Fund would benefit the Adviser and Milliman, but that the unitary fee structure provides a level of certainty in expenses for each of the Funds. The Board noted that the Adviser is continuing to invest in personnel and infrastructure for the Innovator fund complex.
Because the Funds have not yet commenced operations and the actual asset base of the Funds has not yet been determined, the Board noted that there was no historical profitability information with respect to the Funds to be reviewed. The Board noted that it would review profitability information in connection with subsequent renewals of the agreements.
The Board considered potential “fall-out” or ancillary benefits anticipated to be received by the Adviser and Milliman. The Board concluded that the character and amount of potential fall-out benefits to the Adviser and Milliman were consistent with the types of benefits generally derived by investment managers and sub-advisers to funds.
Based on all of the information considered and the conclusions reached, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously determined that the terms of the agreements are fair and that the approval of the agreements is in the best interests of the Funds. No single factor was determinative in the Board’s analysis, and individual Trustees may have evaluated the information presented differently from one another, attributing different weights to various factors.

7. LIQUIDITY RISK MANAGEMENT PROGRAM
Consistent with Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, Innovator ETFs Trust (“Trust”), on behalf of each of its series (each a “Fund” and, collectively, the “Funds”), has established a liquidity risk management program to govern the Funds’ approach to managing liquidity risk (the “Program”). The Program is overseen by the Trust’s Valuation Committee as the Program Administrator, a committee comprised of representatives of the Trust’s investment adviser, Innovator Capital Management LLC and representatives of Milliman Financial Risk Management LLC, the sub-adviser for certain of the Funds (the “Committee”). The Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) has approved the designation of the Committee to administer the Program.
The Program’s principal objectives include supporting the Funds’ compliance with limits on investments in illiquid assets and mitigating the risk that a Fund will be unable to meet its redemption obligations in a timely manner. The Program also includes a number of elements that support the management and assessment of liquidity risk, including an annual assessment of factors that influence each Fund’s liquidity and the periodic classification and re-classification of certain Funds’ investments into groupings that reflect the Committee’s assessment of their relative liquidity under current market conditions.
At a meeting of the Board held on September 11, 2023, the Trustees received a written report from the Committee regarding the design and operational effectiveness of the Program which has been in operation since September 2019. The Committee determined, and reported to the Board, that the Program is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Funds’ liquidity risk and has operated adequately and effectively to manage the Funds’ liquidity risk since implementation. The Committee reported that during the period covered by the report, there were no liquidity events that impacted the Funds or their ability to timely meet redemptions without dilution to existing shareholders. The Committee also noted no Fund has filed a Form N-LIQUID with the SEC.

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) (Continued)
The Fund seeks to match the price returns 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 the Outcome Period. Because the periods contemplated herein do not align with the Outcome Period of the Funds [(with the exception of [November 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 the S&P 500 Index is down, the risk mitigation attributes of the stated Buffer provide an opportunity for the Funds to soften market losses during the reporting periods and outperform the S&P 500 Index. Alternatively, in markets where the S&P 500 Index is appreciating, the risk mitigation attributes of the Buffer 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 Buffer will also cause the Fund to experience different returns than SPY.
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.

The Funds seek to provide an income-oriented defined outcome strategy which limits the total return a Fund may provide over the course of the Outcome Period to the Defined Distribution Rate, while potentially limiting downside losses experienced by the S&P 500 Price Return Index (SPX) at the end of the Outcome Period through the implementation of a Barrier. 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.

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.

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
The Funds are exchange traded funds that offer one class of shares, do not charge a sales load, do not have a redemption fee and currently do not charge a 12b-1 fee to their shareholders. The Funds list and principally trade their shares on Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc. (“Cboe BZX” or the “Exchange”).
Each Fund employs a specific “defined outcome strategy.” Defined outcome strategies generally seek to produce pre-determined investment outcomes based upon the performance of an index or one or more underlying securities. The Funds’ pre-determined outcomes (“Outcomes”) are based upon the price performance of a benchmark index or one or more underlying exchange-traded fund (the “Benchmark”) over a period of approximately one year or another predetermined period (“Outcome Period”). The Funds’ investment strategy provides shareholders with participation in any gains experienced by the applicable Benchmark over the course of the Outcome Period, subject to a cap on upside returns (a “Cap”), and a predetermined buffer (a “Buffer”), each as applicable, against Benchmark losses for the Outcome Period. These defined outcomes are managed by purchasing and selling call and put FLexible EXchange Options (“FLEX Options”) to create layers within a Fund’s portfolio. Each Fund’s FLEX Option has the same reference asset and expiration date, with uniquely selected strike prices for the Fund’s Outcome Period. Due to the customizable nature of FLEX Options that allows for specific strike prices to be selected for the same reference asset and expiration date, when each of the FLEX Options expire on the last day of the Outcome Period, the Funds are expected to achieve a Benchmark investment return with the applicable Buffer and Cap investment parameters.
The Funds are investment companies and accordingly follow the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946 “Financial Services — Investment Companies”.

2. | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements. These policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).
Valuation:
The net asset values (“NAV”) of the Funds are determined as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE (normally 4:00 p.m. ET). If the NYSE closes early on a valuation day, the Funds shall determine NAV as of that time.
Portfolio securities generally shall be valued utilizing prices provided by independent pricing services. The Adviser, as the Trust’s Valuation Designee (“Valuation Designee”) is responsible for establishing valuation of portfolio securities and other instruments held by the Funds in accordance with the Trust’s valuation procedures.
Common stocks, preferred stocks and other equity securities listed on any national or foreign exchange (excluding the NASDAQ National Market (“NASDAQ”) and the London Stock Exchange Alternative Investment Market (“AIM”)) are generally valued at the last sale price on the exchange on which they are principally traded or, for NASDAQ and AIM securities, the official closing price. Securities traded on more than one securities exchange are valued at the last sale price or official closing price, as applicable, at the close of the exchange representing the principal market for such securities. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued at the mean of the bid and the asked price, if available, and otherwise at their closing bid price. Redeemable securities issued by open-end investment companies shall be valued at the investment company’s applicable net asset value, with the exception of exchange-traded open-end investment companies which are priced as equity securities. Fixed income securities, swaps, currency-, credit- and commodity-linked notes, and other similar instruments will be valued using a pricing service. Fixed income securities having a remaining maturity of 60 days or less when purchased will be valued at cost adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts, provided the Valuation Designee has determined that the use of amortized cost is an appropriate reflection of fair value given market and issuer specific conditions existing at the time of the determination. Deposit accounts are valued at acquisition cost. Foreign securities and other assets denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of such currencies against the U.S. dollar as provided by the pricing service. All assets denominated in foreign currencies will be converted into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates in effect at the time of valuation. Restricted securities (with the exception of Rule 144A Securities for which market quotations are available) will normally be valued at fair value as determined by the Valuation Designee.

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
Exchange-traded option contracts (other than FLEX Option contracts) will be valued at the closing price in the market where such contracts are principally traded. If no closing price is available, they will be fair valued at the mean of their most recent bid and asked price, if available, and otherwise at their closing bid price. OTC options are fair valued at the mean of the most recent bid and asked price, if available, and otherwise at their closing bid price. FLEX Options will be valued at a model-based price provided by the exchange on which the option is traded at the official close of that exchange’s trading date. If the exchange on which the option is traded is unable to provide a model price, FLEX Options prices will be provided by backup provider Super Derivatives. Otherwise, the value of a FLEX Option will be determined by the Valuation Designee in accordance with the Trust’s valuation procedures.
If no quotation can be obtained from a pricing service, then the Valuation Designee will then attempt to obtain one or more broker quotes for the security. If no quotation is available from either a pricing service or one or more brokers or if the Valuation Designee has reason to question the reliability or accuracy of a quotation supplied or the use of amortized cost, the value of any portfolio security held by the Funds for which reliable market quotations are not readily available will be determined by the Valuation Designee in a manner that most appropriately reflects fair market value of the security on the valuation date. The use of a fair valuation method may be appropriate if, for example: (i) market quotations do not accurately reflect fair value of an investment; (ii) an investment’s value has been materially affected by events occurring after the close of the exchange or market on which the investment is principally traded (for example, a foreign exchange or market); (iii) a trading halt closes an exchange or market early; or (iv) other events result in an exchange or market delaying its normal close.

Fair Valuation Measurement:
FASB established a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Under ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement” (“ASC 820”), various inputs are used in determining the value of the Funds’ investments. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The three Levels of inputs of the fair value hierarchy are defined as follows:
• | Level 1 – | Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Funds have the ability to access. | |
• | Level 2 – | Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument on an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates and similar data. | |
• | Level 3 – | Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available, representing the Funds’ own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and would be based on the best information available. |
The availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to the security. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgement. Accordingly, the degree of judgement exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3.
The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety, is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

Option Contracts:
In general, an option contract is an agreement between a buyer and seller that gives the purchaser of the option the right to buy or sell a particular asset at a specified future date at an agreed upon price (commonly known as the “strike price”).
The Funds invest primarily in FLEX Option contracts. FLEX Options are customized option contracts that trade on an exchange but provide investors with the ability to customize key contract terms like strike price, style and expiration date while achieving price discovery in competitive, transparent auctions markets and avoiding the counterparty exposure of over-the-counter options positions. Like traditional exchange-traded options, FLEX Options are guaranteed for settlement by the OCC, a market clearinghouse that guarantees performance by counterparties to certain derivatives contracts. The FLEX Options in which the Funds will invest are all European style options (options that are exercisable only on the expiration date). The FLEX Options are listed on the Chicago Board Options Exchange.
The Funds will purchase and sell call and put FLEX Options. In general, put options give the holder (i.e., the buyer) the right to sell an asset (or deliver the cash value of the index, in case of an index put option) and the seller (i.e., the writer) of the put has the obligation to buy the asset (or receive cash value of the index, in case of an index put option) at a certain defined price. Call options give the holder (i.e., the buyer) the right to buy an asset (or receive cash value of the index, in case of an index call option) and the seller (i.e., the writer) the obligation to sell the asset (or deliver cash value of the index, in case of an index call option) at a certain defined price.

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
When the Funds purchase an option, an amount equal to the premium paid by the Funds are recorded as an investment and is subsequently adjusted to the current value of the option purchased. If an option expires on the stipulated expiration date or if the Funds enter into a closing sale transaction, a gain or loss is realized. If a call option is exercised, the cost of the security acquired is increased by the premium paid for the call. If a put option is exercised, a gain or loss is realized from the sale of the underlying security, and the proceeds from such sale are decreased by the premium originally paid. Purchased options are non-income producing securities.
When the Funds write an option, an amount equal to the premium received by the Funds are recorded as a liability and is subsequently adjusted to the current value of the option written. Premiums received from writing options that expire unexercised are treated by the Funds on the expiration date as realized gain from written options. The difference between the premium and the amount paid on effecting a closing purchase transaction, including brokerage commissions, is also treated as a realized gain, or if the premium is less than the amount paid for the closing purchase transaction, as a realized loss. If a call option is exercised, the premium is added to the proceeds from the sale of the underlying security in determining whether the Funds have realized a gain or loss. If a put option is exercised, the premium reduces the cost basis of the securities purchased by the Funds. The Funds, as writers of an option, bear the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security underlying the written option.
All of the FLEX Option contracts held by the Funds are fully funded and cash settled, therefore balance sheet offsetting under U.S. GAAP does not apply.
The Funds bear the risk that the OCC will be unable or unwilling to perform its obligations under the FLEX Options contracts. In the unlikely event that the OCC becomes insolvent or is otherwise unable to meet its settlement obligations, the Funds could suffer significant losses. Additionally, FLEX Options may be less liquid than certain other securities such as standardized options. In less liquid market for the FLEX Options, the Funds may have difficulty closing out certain FLEX Options positions at desired times and prices. The Funds may experience substantial downside from specific FLEX Option positions and certain FLEX Option positions may expire worthless. The value of the underlying FLEX Options will be affected by, among others, changes in the value of the exchange, changes in interest rates, changes in the actual and implied volatility of the Index and the remaining time to until the FLEX Options expire. The value of the FLEX Options does not increase or decrease at the same rate as the level of the Index (although they generally move in the same direction). However, as a FLEX Option approaches its expiration date, its value typically increasingly moves with the value of the Index.

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
Use of Estimates:
In preparing financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Guarantees and Indemnifications:
In the normal course of business, the Trust may enter into a contract with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims against the Trust that have not yet occurred. Based on experience, the Trust expects the risk of loss to be remote.
Tax Information:
The Funds are treated as separate entities for federal income tax purposes. The Funds intend to qualify as regulated investment companies (“RICs”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”). To qualify and remain eligible for the special tax treatment accorded to RICs, the Funds must meet certain annual income and quarterly asset diversification requirements and must distribute annually at least 90% of the sum of (i) its investment company taxable income (which includes dividends, interest and net short-term capital gains) and (ii) certain net tax-exempt income, if any. If so qualified, the Funds will not be subject to federal income tax to the extent the Funds distribute substantially all of their net investment income and capital gains to shareholders.

Management evaluates the Funds’ tax positions to determine if the tax positions taken meet the minimum recognition threshold in connection with accounting for uncertainties in income tax positions taken or expected to be taken for the purposes of measuring and recognizing tax liabilities in the financial statements. Tax benefits associated with an uncertain tax position can be recognized only when the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained assuming examination by taxing authorities. Interest and penalties related to income taxes would be recorded as tax expense in the Statements of Operations. During the year or period ended October 31, 2023, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties. The Funds’ federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three fiscal years after they are filed. State and local tax returns may be subject to examination for an additional fiscal year depending on the jurisdiction. As of October 31, 2023, the Funds did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits. As of October 31, 2023, the Funds have no examinations in progress and management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. The Funds are subject to examination by U.S. Federal tax authorities for all tax years since inception.

U.S. GAAP requires that certain components of net assets be reclassified between distributable earnings/(accumulated deficit) and additional paid-in capital. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset value per share. For the year or period ended October 31, 2023, the Funds made the following permanent book-to-tax reclassifications due to deemed distributions, net operating losses, and redemption in-kind transactions:

5. | CREATION AND REDEMPTION TRANSACTIONS |
There are an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest (without par value) authorized by the Trust. Individual shares of the Funds may only be purchased and sold at market prices on the applicable Exchange through a broker-dealer. Such transactions may be subject to customary commission rates imposed by the broker-dealer, and market prices for the Funds’ shares may be at, above or below its NAV depending on the premium or discount at which the Funds’ shares trade.
The Funds issue and redeem shares on a continuous basis at NAV only in blocks of 25,000 shares, called “Creation Units.” Creation Units are issued and redeemed principally for cash. Once created, shares generally trade in the secondary market at market prices that change throughout the day in amounts less than a Creation Unit. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, shares are not redeemable securities of the Funds. Shares of the Funds may only be purchased or redeemed by certain financial institutions (“Authorized Participants”). An Authorized Participant is either (i) a broker-dealer or other participant in the clearing process through the Continuous Net Settlement System of the National Securities Clearing Corporation or (ii) a DTC participant and, in each case, must have executed a Participant Agreement with the Distributor. A transaction fee is applicable to each transaction regardless of the number of units purchased or sold in the transaction. Each Fund, subject to approval by the Board of Trustees, may adjust transaction fees from time to time based upon actual experience. Additional charges received by the Funds, if any, are disclosed as Transaction Fees on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets. Most retail investors do not qualify as Authorized Participants nor have the resources to buy and sell whole Creation Units. Therefore, they are unable to purchase or redeem the shares directly from the Funds. Rather, most retail investors may purchase shares in the secondary market with the assistance of a broker and are subject to customary brokerage commissions or fees.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2023, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Board Considerations Regarding Approval of Investment Management Agreement (Unaudited)
Board Considerations Regarding Approval of Investment Management Agreement AND INVESTMENT SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENT FOR THE FOLLOWING INNOVATOR FUNDS:
Innovator U.S. Equity Buffer ETF – January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November, December
Innovator U.S. Equity Power Buffer ETF – January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November, December
Innovator U.S. Equity Ultra Buffer ETF – January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November, December
At a quarterly Board meeting held on June 16, 2023, the Trust’s Board considered approval of the Advisory Agreement with Innovator Capital Management, LLC (the “Adviser”), on behalf of the Innovator U.S. Equity Buffer ETF – January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November, December, Innovator U.S. Equity Power Buffer ETF – January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November, December and Innovator U.S. Equity Ultra Buffer ETF – January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November, December ETFs (the “Funds”), and the Sub– Advisory Agreement among the Trust, on behalf of the Funds, the Adviser and Milliman Financial Risk Management LLC (“Milliman” or the “Sub–Adviser”), for an additional year term. The Board determined that the agreements were in the best interests of the Funds in light of the extent and quality of the services provided and such other matters as the Board considered to be relevant in the exercise of its reasonable business judgment.
To reach this determination, the Board considered its duties under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as well as under the general principles of state law in reviewing and approving advisory contracts; the requirements of the 1940 Act in such matters; the fiduciary duty of investment advisers with respect to advisory agreements and compensation; the standards used by courts in determining whether investment company boards have fulfilled their duties; and the factors to be considered by the Board in voting on such agreements. To assist the Board in its evaluation of the agreements, the Independent Trustees received a separate report from each of the Adviser and the Sub–Adviser in advance of the Meeting responding to a request for information provided on behalf of the Independent Trustees that, among other things, outlined the services provided by the Adviser and the Sub–Adviser to the Funds (including the relevant personnel responsible for these services and their experience); the unitary fee rate payable by each Fund as compared to fees charged to peer groups of the Funds and as compared to fees charged to other clients of the Adviser and the Sub–Adviser, including other ETFs managed by the Adviser and the Sub–Adviser; the expenses of the Funds as compared to expense ratios of the funds in the respective Fund’s peer group; the nature of the expenses incurred in providing services to the Funds and the potential for economies of scale, if any; financial data on the Adviser and the Sub–Adviser; any fall–out benefits accruing to the Adviser or the Sub–Adviser; and information on the Adviser’s and the Sub–Adviser’s compliance programs. The Independent Trustees also met separately with their Independent Counsel to discuss the information provided by the Adviser and the Sub–Adviser. The Board applied its business judgment to determine whether the arrangements between the Trust and the Adviser and among the Trust, the Adviser and the Sub–Adviser are reasonable business arrangements from each Fund’s perspective as well as from the perspective of each Fund’s shareholders.
INNOVATOR ETFs TRUST
Board Considerations Regarding Approval of Investment Management Agreement (Unaudited) (Continued)
In evaluating whether to approve the agreements, the Board applied its business judgment and considered the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser and Milliman pursuant to the agreements. With respect to the investment management agreement, the Board considered that the Adviser is responsible for the overall management and administration of the Funds and reviewed all of the services provided by the Adviser to the Funds, including oversight of Milliman, as well as the background and experience of the persons responsible for such services. The Board noted that the Adviser oversees Milliman’s day–to–day management of each of the Fund’s investments, including portfolio risk monitoring and performance review. In reviewing the services provided, the Board noted the compliance program that had been developed by the Adviser included an adequate program for monitoring the Adviser’s, Milliman’s and each Fund’s compliance with the 1940 Act, as well as each Fund’s compliance with its investment objective and policies. With respect to the sub– advisory agreement, the Board reviewed the materials provided by Milliman and noted the background and experience of Milliman’s portfolio management team and Milliman’s investment style. In light of the information presented and the considerations made, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided to the Funds by the Adviser and Milliman under the agreements were expected to be satisfactory.
The Board considered the historical investment performance of each of the Funds (where applicable) for the respective one, three and five-year periods ended March 31, 2023 including NAV, market, and respective index returns.
The Board considered the unitary fee rate or management fee rate, as applicable, currently paid by each Fund under the investment management agreement for the services provided.
The Board noted that the Adviser is responsible for the Funds’ expenses, including the cost of transfer agency, custody, fund administration, legal, audit and other services and license fees (if any), but excluding the fee payment under the investment management agreement, interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and other expenses connected with the execution of portfolio transactions, and extraordinary expenses. The Board received and reviewed information for the Funds showing the advisory fee rates and expense ratios of the funds comprising of each Fund’s peer group, as well as advisory fee rates charged by the Adviser and Milliman to other funds (including ETFs) and non–fund clients, as applicable.

Board Considerations Regarding Approval of Investment Management Agreement (Unaudited) (Continued)
In light of the information considered and the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Funds under the agreements, the Board determined that the unitary fee for each of the Funds, including the fee rate to be paid by the Adviser to Milliman from the unitary fee, was fair.
The Board noted that the unitary fee for each of the Funds were structured to pass the benefits of any economies of scale on to shareholders as the respective Fund’s assets grow. The Board noted that any reduction in fixed costs associated with the management of the respective Fund would benefit the Adviser and Milliman, but that the unitary fee structure provides a level of certainty in expenses for each of the Funds. The Board noted that the Adviser is continuing to invest in personnel and infrastructure for the Innovator fund complex.
The Board reviewed profitability information in connection with the Funds.
The Board considered potential “fall–out” or ancillary benefits anticipated to be received by the Adviser and Milliman. The Board concluded that the character and amount of potential fall–out benefits to the Adviser and Milliman were consistent with the types of benefits generally derived by investment managers and sub–advisers to funds.
Based on all of the information considered and the conclusions reached, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously determined that the terms of the agreements are fair and that the approval of the agreements is in the best interests of the Funds. No single factor was determinative in the Board’s analysis, and individual Trustees may have evaluated the information presented differently from one another, attributing different weights to various factors.

Innovator Premium Income 10 Barrier ETF - July & October
Innovator Premium Income 20 Barrier ETF - July & October
Innovator Premium Income 30 Barrier ETF - July & October
Innovator Premium Income 40 Barrier ETF - July & October
At a special Board meeting held on January 4, 2023, the Trust’s Board considered approval of the Advisory Agreement with Innovator Capital Management, LLC (the “Adviser”), on behalf of the Innovator Premium Income 10 Barrier ETF - July & October, Innovator Premium Income 20 Barrier ETF - July & October, Innovator Premium Income 30 Barrier ETF - July & October and Innovator Premium Income 40 Barrier ETF - July & October (the “Funds”), and the Sub-Advisory Agreement among the Trust, on behalf of the Funds, the Adviser and Milliman Financial Risk Management LLC (“Milliman” or the “Sub- Adviser”), for an initial two-year term. The Board determined that the agreements were in the best interests of the Funds in light of the extent and quality of the services expected to be provided and such other matters as the Board considered to be relevant in the exercise of its reasonable business judgment.
To reach this determination, the Board considered its duties under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as well as under the general principles of state law in reviewing and approving advisory contracts; the requirements of the 1940 Act in such matters; the fiduciary duty of investment advisers with respect to advisory agreements and compensation; the standards used by courts in determining whether investment company boards have fulfilled their duties; and the factors to be considered by the Board in voting on such agreements.

In light of the information presented and the considerations made, the Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided to the Funds by the Adviser and Milliman under the agreements were expected to be satisfactory.
Since the Funds had yet to commence investment operations, the Board could not consider the historical investment performance of the Funds.
The Board considered the proposed unitary fee rate payable by each Fund under the investment management agreement for the services to be provided. The Board noted that, under the unitary fee arrangement, each Fund would pay the Adviser a unitary fee equal to an annual rate of 0.79% of its average daily net assets. The Board considered that, from the unitary fee for each of the Funds, the Adviser would pay Milliman an annual sub-advisory fee equal to 0.12% on the Fund’s assets under management.
The Board noted that the Adviser would be responsible for the Funds’ expenses, including the cost of transfer agency, custody, fund administration, legal, audit and other services and license fees (if any), but excluding the fee payment under the investment management agreement, interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and other expenses connected with the execution of portfolio transactions, and extraordinary expenses.

The Board noted that the Adviser is continuing to invest in personnel and infrastructure for the Innovator fund complex.
Because the Funds have not yet commenced operations and the actual asset base of the Funds have not yet been determined, the Board noted that there was no historical profitability information with respect to the Funds to be reviewed. The Board noted that it would review profitability information in connection with subsequent renewals of the agreements.
The Board considered potential “fall-out” or ancillary benefits anticipated to be received by the Adviser and Milliman.

INNOVATOR ETFs TRUST
Additional Information (Unaudited) (Continued)
7. | LIQUIDITY RISK MANAGEMENT PROGRAM |
Consistent with Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, Innovator ETFs Trust (“Trust”), on behalf of each of its series (each a “Fund” and, collectively, the “Funds”), has established a liquidity risk management program to govern the Funds’ approach to managing liquidity risk (the “Program”). The Program is overseen by the Trust’s Valuation Committee as the Program Administrator, a committee comprised of representatives of the Trust’s investment adviser, Innovator Capital Management LLC and representatives of Milliman Financial Risk Management LLC, the sub-adviser for certain of the Funds (the “Committee”). The Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) has approved the designation of the Committee to administer the Program.
The Program’s principal objectives include supporting the Funds’ compliance with limits on investments in illiquid assets and mitigating the risk that a Fund will be unable to meet its redemption obligations in a timely manner. The Program also includes a number of elements that support the management and assessment of liquidity risk, including an annual assessment of factors that influence each Fund’s liquidity and the periodic classification and re-classification of certain Funds’ investments into groupings that reflect the Committee’s assessment of their relative liquidity under current market conditions.
At a meeting of the Board held on September 11, 2023, the Trustees received a written report from the Committee regarding the design and operational effectiveness of the Program which has been in operation since September 2019. The Committee determined, and reported to the Board, that the Program is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Funds’ liquidity risk and has operated adequately and effectively to manage the Funds’ liquidity risk since implementation. The Committee reported that during the period covered by the report, there were no liquidity events that impacted the Funds or their ability to timely meet redemptions without dilution to existing shareholders. The Committee also noted no Fund has filed a Form N-LIQUID with the SEC.

Item 4. Principal Accountant Fees and Services.
The registrant has engaged its principal accountant to perform audit services, audit-related services, tax services and other services during the past two fiscal years. “Audit services” refer to performing an audit of the registrant's annual financial statements or services that are normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for those fiscal years. “Audit-related services” refer to the assurance and related services by the principal accountant that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit. “Tax services” refer to professional services rendered by the principal accountant for tax compliance, tax advice, and tax planning. The following table details the aggregate fees billed or expected to be billed for each of the last two fiscal years for audit fees, audit-related fees, tax fees and other fees by the principal accountant.

( b ) Audit-Related Fees | - | - | ||||||
( c ) Tax Fees | $ | 393,300 | $ | 311,500 | ||||
( d ) All Other Fees | - | - |
The audit committee has adopted pre-approval policies and procedures that require the audit committee to pre‑approve all audit and non‑audit services of the registrant, including services provided to any entity affiliated with the registrant.
The percentage of fees billed by principal accountant applicable to non-audit services pursuant to waiver of pre-approval requirement were as follows:
FYE 10/31/2023 | FYE 10/31/2022 | |||||||
Audit-Related Fees | 0 | % | 0 | % | ||||
Tax Fees | 0 | % | 0 | % | ||||
All Other Fees | 0 | % | 0 | % |
All of the principal accountant’s hours spent on auditing the registrant’s financial statements were attributed to work performed by full‑time permanent employees of the principal accountant.
The following table indicates the non-audit fees billed or expected to be billed by the registrant’s accountant for services to the registrant and to the registrant’s investment adviser (and any other controlling entity, etc.—not sub-adviser) for the last two years.

Registrant | $ | 393,300 | $ | 311,500 | ||||
Registrant’s Investment Adviser | - | - |
The audit committee of the board of trustees/directors has considered whether the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to the registrant's investment adviser is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant's independence and has concluded that the provision of such non-audit services by the accountant has not compromised the accountant’s independence.
