Side by side
As of Nov 4, 2026. Source: ETFIQ.
These are two different products. SIXP 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; SIXP runs to Feb 28, 2027, 116 days. DDTM can still gain 4.1% before its cap, SIXP 6.4%. A fall from here reaches DDTM’s buffer after 8.5% and SIXP’s after 1.1%. Both track SPY, so what separates them is where each is in its own period.

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.
