Side by side
As of Nov 4, 2026. Source: ETFIQ.
These are two different products. MAYM is a floor fund, which caps how far a holder can fall. JUNW 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
MAYM resets first, on May 21, 2027, 198 days from now; JUNW runs to May 31, 2027, 208 days. JUNW can still gain 9.1% before its cap, MAYM 4.3%. A fall from here reaches JUNW’s buffer after 2.7% and MAYM’s after 2.6%. 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.
