Where each one stands today

EJUL resets first, on Jun 30, 2027, 273 days from now; EMJL runs to Jun 30, 2027, 273 days. A fall from here reaches EJUL’s buffer after 0.1% and EMJL’s after 0.5%. Both track EEM, 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.
