Where each one stands today

CJUL resets first, on Jun 30, 2027, 271 days from now; PJUL runs to Jun 30, 2027, 271 days. A fall from here reaches CJUL’s buffer after 3.1% and PJUL’s after 2.6%. 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.
