Side by side
As of Nov 4, 2026. Source: ETFIQ.
These are two different products. DLMY is a floor fund, which caps how far a holder can fall. BJUN 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
DLMY resets first, on May 21, 2027, 198 days from now; BJUN runs to May 31, 2027, 208 days. BJUN can still gain 15.4% before its cap, DLMY 9.0%. A fall from here reaches BJUN’s buffer after 2.3% and DLMY’s after 4.5%. Both track SPY, so what separates them is where each is in its own period.
No client brief for this pair: ETFIQ prints no one-year total return for DLMY.

Every number is an ETFIQ calculation with distributions reinvested.
