Where each one stands today

YJUN resets first, on Jun 17, 2027, 260 days from now; JULI runs to Jun 30, 2027, 273 days. A fall from here reaches JULI’s buffer after 0.1% and YJUN’s after 0.9%. Both track EFA, 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.
