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

Where each one stands today

JUNM resets first, on Jun 17, 2027, 247 days from now; CTJL runs to Jun 30, 2027, 260 days. A fall from here reaches CTJL’s buffer after 4.2% and JUNM’s after 2.3%. Both track SPY, so what separates them is where each is in its own period.

ETFIQ calculates every figure from each issuer’s published outcome-period terms. Buffer ETFs hold options on an index, not shares, so there is no holdings overlap to report.

Every figure is an ETFIQ calculation with distributions reinvested.
