What does "buy" mean in FSEP activity?
"Buy" means an investor increased their reported position in FSEP compared to the prior reporting period. This reflects growing exposure to FT VEST U.S. EQUITY BUFFER E (FSEP) rather than necessarily a brand-new position (though new positions also appear as buys when prior quantity was zero).
Is institutional interest in FSEP increasing?
