Both are already at their cap, so neither gains from more rise in the index before the period ends.
Where each one stands today
APRP resets first, on Mar 31, 2027, 147 days from now; APRT runs to Mar 31, 2027, 147 days. APRP can still gain 4.4% before its cap, APRT 4.4%. A fall from here reaches APRP’s buffer after 10.5% and APRT’s after 11.2%. Both track SPY, so what separates them is where each is in its own period.
APRP
SPY had already risen past this fund's cap of +16.6% for the period on Nov 4, 2026, so in index terms there is no more upside to collect.

How this is computed
It is a place in a set, not a rating or a recommendation.
ETFIQ calculates every number from each issuer’s published outcome-period terms. Buffer ETFs hold options on an index, not shares, so there is no holdings overlap to report.
Every number is an ETFIQ calculation with distributions reinvested.
