Side by side
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. XJUN is a buffer fund, which absorbs the first part of a fall and leaves everything below it with the holder.
Both are First Trust funds, so the difference between them is the terms rather than the house.
Where each one stands today
JUNM resets first, on Jun 17, 2027, 225 days from now; XJUN runs to Jun 17, 2027, 225 days. JUNM can still gain 4.9% before its cap, XJUN 7.1%. A fall from here reaches JUNM’s buffer after 2.3% and XJUN’s after 3.6%. 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.
