These are two different products. PMJN 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

BJUN resets first, on May 31, 2027, 208 days from now; PMJN runs to May 31, 2027, 208 days. BJUN can still gain 15.4% before its cap, PMJN 5.4%. A fall from here reaches BJUN’s buffer after 2.3% and PMJN’s after 1.9%. Both track SPY, so what separates them is where each is in its own period.

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.
