Side by side
As of Nov 4, 2026. Source: ETFIQ.
These are two different products. MARU is a floor fund, which caps how far a holder can fall. DDTM 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
DDTM resets first, on Feb 28, 2027, 116 days from now; MARU runs to Feb 28, 2027, 116 days. A fall from here reaches DDTM’s buffer after 8.5% and MARU’s after 8.2%. Both track SPY, so what separates them is where each is in its own period.
DDTM
From its price on Nov 4, 2026, the fund can gain about 4.1% more before it reaches its cap. The fund's price can fall 8.5% from here before the buffer starts absorbing losses, by the issuer's number. In index terms, SPY can fall 10.5% from today's level to the point where the buffer begins. Protection left, in index points: 10.0% of the 10.0% buffer still sits below today's SPY level. 116 days remained on Nov 4, 2026. On Feb 28, 2027 the period ends and a new cap is set.
MARU
This fund has no cap. It takes a share of any further rise in SPY. The fund's price can fall 8.2% from here before the buffer starts absorbing losses, by the issuer's number. Protection left, in index points: 15.0% of the 15.0% buffer still sits below today's SPY level. On Feb 28, 2027 the period ends and new terms are set.

How this is computed
ETFIQ calculates every number 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 number is an ETFIQ calculation with distributions reinvested.
