As of Nov 4, 2026. Source: ETFIQ.

These are two different products. JUNM is a floor fund, which caps how far a holder can fall. JULP 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

JUNM resets first, on Jun 17, 2027, 225 days from now; JULP runs to Jun 30, 2027, 238 days. JULP can still gain 12.6% before its cap, JUNM 4.9%. A fall from here reaches JULP’s buffer after 3.1% and JUNM’s after 2.3%. Both track SPY, so what separates them is where each is in its own period.
