Where each one stands today

JULU resets first, on Jun 30, 2027, 283 days from now; CJUL runs to Jun 30, 2027, 285 days. A fall from here reaches CJUL’s buffer after 2.1% and JULU’s after 2.8%. 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.
