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, 208 days from now; PJUN runs to May 31, 2027, 208 days. DDTZ can still gain 11.8% before its cap, PJUN 11.2%. A fall from here reaches DDTZ’s buffer after 3.1% and PJUN’s after 2.4%. 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.
