Supplement To the Fund's Summary Prospectus, Prospectus and<br> Statement of Additional Information

Dated August 27, 2025

The Board of Trustees (the *"Board"*) of Innovator ETFs<sup>®</sup> Trust (the *"Trust"*), based on the recommendation of Innovator Capital Management, LLC (the *"Adviser"*), the investment adviser to the Funds, each a series of the Trust, has determined to close and liquidate the Funds. The Board concluded that it would be in the best interests of the Funds and their shareholders that the Funds be liquidated. Trading in the Funds' shares will be halted effective as of the close of business on October 1, 2025, and the Funds will be liquidated effective as of the close of business on October 7, 2025.

The Board approved a Plan of Liquidation (the *"Plan"*) that determines the manner in which each Fund will be liquidated. Pursuant to the Plan and in anticipation of each Fund's liquidation, each Fund will be closed to new creation purchases effective as of the close of business on September 29, 2025. Although each Fund will be closed to new creation purchases as of September 29, 2025, you may continue to redeem your shares of the respective Fund after September 29, 2025, as provided in the Prospectus. Please note, however, that each Fund will be liquidating its assets as of the close of business on October 7, 2025.

Pursuant to the Plan, if your respective Fund has not received your redemption request prior to the close of business on October 1, 2025, your shares will be redeemed, and you will receive proceeds representing your proportionate interest in the net assets of your respective Fund as of October 7, 2025, subject to any required withholdings. As is the case with any redemption of Fund shares, these liquidation proceeds will generally be subject to federal and, as applicable, state and local income taxes if the redeemed shares are held in a taxable account and the liquidation proceeds exceed your adjusted basis in the shares redeemed. If the redeemed shares are held in a qualified retirement account such as an IRA, the liquidation proceeds may not be subject to current income taxation under certain conditions. You should consult with your tax adviser for further information regarding the federal, state and/or local income tax consequences of this liquidation that are relevant to your specific situation.
