These are two different products. JUNT is a floor fund, which caps how far a holder can fall. DLMY 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

DLMY resets first, on May 21, 2027, 198 days from now; JUNT runs to May 31, 2027, 208 days. DLMY can still gain 9.0% before its cap, JUNT 14.5%. A fall from here reaches DLMY’s buffer after 4.5% and JUNT’s after 2.8%. 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.
