CPSP vs HMAY: which one stands where?
As of Oct 1, 2026 HMAY can fall 5.1% before its buffer engages and CPSP 3.5%, and CPSP resets 30 days sooner. Calamos S&P 500 ® Structured Alt Protection ETF - April and Corgi U.S. Equities 100% Structured Buffer ETF - May Series.
CPSP: reference +16.4% since period start, fund +3.3%; buffer −0 to floor; cap +6.4%; At its cap.
HMAY: reference +5.4% since period start, fund +1.8%; buffer Floor; cap +6.5%; Full floor.
CPSP is already at its cap, so more rise in the index adds nothing to it before the period ends.
They do not reset together. CPSP has 182 days of its period left and HMAY has 212, so the two are not the same bet on the same months.
Where each one stands today
CPSP resets first, on Apr 1, 2027, 182 days from now; HMAY runs to Apr 30, 2027, 212 days. A fall from here reaches CPSP’s buffer after 3.5% and HMAY’s after 5.1%. 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.
