Which resets first, AUGC or CPSJ?

AUGC ends its outcome period on Jul 31, 2027 and CPSJ on Jul 1, 2027. A new cap is set the day after each.

AUGC charges 0.30% a year and CPSJ charges 0.69%, so AUGC is cheaper. Fees come from each fund's prospectus.

AUGC vs CPSJ: which one stands where?

As of Oct 1, 2026 CPSJ can fall 1.1% before its buffer engages and AUGC 0.7%, and CPSJ resets 31 days sooner. Corgi U.S. Equities 10% Structured Buffer ETF - August Series and Calamos S&P 500 ® Structured Alt Protection ETF - July.

AUGCBetween buffer and cap

AUGC: reference +0.7% since period start, fund +1.3%; buffer 0 to −10; cap +18.0%; Between buffer and cap.

CPSJFull floor

CPSJ: reference +2.3% since period start, fund +1.0%; buffer −0 to floor; cap +7.6%; Full floor.

These are two different products. CPSJ is a floor fund, which caps how far a holder can fall. AUGC is a buffer fund, which absorbs the first part of a fall and leaves everything below it with the holder.

They do not reset together. CPSJ has 273 days of its period left and AUGC has 304, so the two are not the same bet on the same months.

Where each one stands today

CPSJ resets first, on Jul 1, 2027, 273 days from now; AUGC runs to Jul 31, 2027, 304 days. A fall from here reaches AUGC’s buffer after 0.7% and CPSJ’s after 1.1%. Both track SPY, so what separates them is where each is in its own period.

Every figure is ETFIQ’s own, from the issuer’s published outcome-period terms. A buffer ETF holds FLEX options on its reference index rather than shares, so there is no holdings overlap between two of them to report.
