These are two different products. HAUG is a floor fund, which caps how far a holder can fall. CTAU is a buffer fund, which absorbs the first part of a fall and leaves everything below it with the holder.

Both are Corgi funds, so the difference between them is the terms rather than the house.

Where each one stands today

CTAU resets first, on Jul 31, 2027, 302 days from now; HAUG runs to Jul 31, 2027, 302 days. A fall from here reaches CTAU’s buffer after 1.6% and HAUG’s after 1.6%. 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.
