As of Nov 4, 2026. Source: ETFIQ.
ZJAN is already at its cap, so more rise in the index adds nothing to it before the period ends.
Where each one stands today
FLJJ resets first, on Dec 31, 2026, 57 days from now; ZJAN runs to Dec 31, 2026, 57 days. FLJJ can still gain 4.4% before its cap, ZJAN 1.2%. A fall from here reaches FLJJ’s buffer after 7.4% and ZJAN’s after 5.0%. Both track SPY, so what separates them is where each is in its own period.
FLJJ
From its price on Nov 4, 2026, the fund can gain about 4.4% more before it reaches its cap. The fund's price can fall 7.4% from here before the buffer starts absorbing losses, by the issuer's number.

Protection left, in index points: 95.0% of the 95.0% buffer still sits below today's SPY level. 57 days remained on Nov 4, 2026. On Dec 31, 2026 the period ends and a new cap is set.
ZJAN
SPY had already risen past this fund's cap of +6.5% for the period on Nov 4, 2026, so in index terms there is no more upside to collect. The fund's own price can still drift up to about 1.2% as the period runs out. The fund's price can fall 5.0% from here before the buffer starts absorbing losses, by the issuer's number.

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.
