JUNT vs PMJN: which one stands where?
As of Sep 21, 2026 JUNT can fall 3.2% before its buffer engages and PMJN 1.6%, and JUNT resets 2 days sooner.
These are two different products. PMJN is a floor fund, which caps how far a holder can fall. JUNT 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
JUNT resets first, on May 31, 2027, 250 days from now; PMJN runs to May 31, 2027, 252 days. JUNT can still gain 14.0% before its cap, PMJN 5.8%. A fall from here reaches JUNT’s buffer after 3.2% and PMJN’s after 1.6%. Both track SPY, 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.
