## Laddered buffer ETFs: what their sleeves protect

As of Oct 9, 2026, ETFIQ covers 25 laddered buffer ETFs, largest first. Funds that hold other buffer ETFs, each with its own outcome period, so part of the fund resets every month or quarter instead of all at once. Their figures are the look-through of what they hold. A fund is here when its own N-PORT puts at least 80% of its net assets in buffer ETFs ETFIQ reads; each figure is the average of its sleeves’ own, weighted by that N-PORT.

### Questions people ask

What is a laddered buffer ETF? Funds that hold other buffer ETFs, each with its own outcome period, so part of the fund resets every month or quarter instead of all at once. Their figures are the look-through of what they hold. How does ETFIQ work out a ladder’s cap and buffer? It averages each sleeve’s own issuer figures, weighted by the share of the ladder’s net assets its latest N-PORT puts in that sleeve. A sleeve with no cap is left out of the cap and counted beside it. Do laddered buffer ETFs reset? Not as a whole. Each sleeve resets on its own date, so a ladder always holds some funds near the start of their period and some near the end.
