HJLY vs JULU: which one stands where?
As of Sep 21, 2026 JULU can fall 2.8% before its buffer engages and HJLY 2.1%, and JULU resets 2 days sooner.
These are two different products. HJLY is a floor fund, which caps how far a holder can fall. JULU 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
JULU resets first, on Jun 30, 2027, 283 days from now; HJLY runs to Jun 30, 2027, 285 days. A fall from here reaches HJLY’s buffer after 2.1% and JULU’s after 2.8%. 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.
