As of Nov 4, 2026. Source: ETFIQ.

These are two different products. TJUL is a floor fund, which caps how far a holder can fall. JULT is a buffer fund, which absorbs the first part of a fall and leaves everything below it with the holder.

TJUL is already at its cap, so more rise in the index adds nothing to it before the period ends.

Where each one stands today

JULT resets first, on Jun 30, 2027, 238 days from now; TJUL runs to Jun 30, 2027, 238 days. JULT can still gain 13.6% before its cap, TJUL 4.5%. A fall from here reaches JULT’s buffer after 3.3% and TJUL’s after 8.2%. Both track SPY, so what separates them is where each is in its own period.

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.
