A percentile among the 292 buffer ETFs on stocks with a live outcome period. Today's position against one 20% fall; it ignores smaller falls, and stock buffers are never ranked against bond or commodity ones. All buffer ETFs ranked by it → How it is computed →

Where each one stands today

AUGC resets first, on Jul 31, 2027, 291 days from now; AUGT runs to Jul 31, 2027, 291 days. A fall from here reaches AUGC’s buffer after 2.6% and AUGT’s after 3.8%. Both track SPY, so what separates them is where each is in its own period.

How this is computed

It is a place in a set, not a rating or a recommendation.

ETFIQ calculates every figure 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 figure is an ETFIQ calculation with distributions reinvested.
