HMAY vs MAYW: which one stands where?
As of Sep 21, 2026 HMAY can fall 5.0% before its buffer engages and MAYW 4.6%, and MAYW resets 2 days sooner.
These are two different products. HMAY is a floor fund, which caps how far a holder can fall. MAYW 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
MAYW resets first, on Apr 30, 2027, 222 days from now; HMAY runs to Apr 30, 2027, 224 days. A fall from here reaches HMAY’s buffer after 5.0% and MAYW’s after 4.6%. 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.
