Where each one stands today
JULW resets first, on Jun 30, 2027, 283 days from now; CTJL runs to Jun 30, 2027, 285 days. A fall from here reaches CTJL’s buffer after 2.1% and JULW’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.
