As of Nov 4, 2026. Source: ETFIQ.

These are two different products. XJUL 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.

Where each one stands today

XJUL resets first, on Jul 16, 2027, 254 days from now; AUGC runs to Jul 31, 2027, 270 days. A fall from here reaches AUGC’s buffer after 0.0% and XJUL’s after 3.6%. Both track SPY, so what separates them is where each is in its own period.

How this is computed

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.
