DDTZ vs PJUN: which one stands where?
As of Sep 19, 2026 DDTZ can fall 2.3% before its buffer engages and PJUN 1.6%.
These are two different products. PJUN is a floor fund, which caps how far a holder can fall. DDTZ is a buffer fund, which absorbs the first part of a fall and leaves everything below it with the holder.
Both are Innovator funds, so the difference between them is the terms rather than the house.
Where each one stands today
DDTZ resets first, on May 31, 2027, 255 days from now; PJUN runs to May 31, 2027, 255 days. DDTZ can still gain 12.7% before its cap, PJUN 12.0%. A fall from here reaches DDTZ’s buffer after 2.3% and PJUN’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.
