Side by side
As of Nov 4, 2026. Source: ETFIQ.
These are two different products. XMAY is a floor fund, which caps how far a holder can fall. JUNC 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
XMAY resets first, on May 21, 2027, 198 days from now; JUNC runs to May 31, 2027, 209 days. A fall from here reaches JUNC’s buffer after 0.0% and XMAY’s after 4.6%. Both track SPY, so what separates them is where each is in its own period.
JUNC
Protection left, in index points: 9.4% of the 10.0% buffer still sits below today's SPY level. 209 days remained on Nov 3, 2026. On May 31, 2027 the period ends and a new cap is set.
XMAY
From its price on Nov 4, 2026, the fund can gain about 6.1% more before it reaches its cap. The fund's price can fall 4.6% from here before the buffer starts absorbing losses, by the issuer's number. In index terms, SPY can fall 3.6% from today's level to the point where the buffer begins. Protection left, in index points: 15.0% of the 15.0% buffer still sits below today's SPY level. 198 days remained on Nov 4, 2026. On May 21, 2027 the period ends and a new cap is set.

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.
