Side by side
As of Nov 4, 2026. Source: ETFIQ.
These are two different products. PMMY is a floor fund, which caps how far a holder can fall. MAYU 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
MAYU resets first, on Apr 30, 2027, 177 days from now; PMMY runs to Apr 30, 2027, 177 days. A fall from here reaches MAYU’s buffer after 5.0% and PMMY’s after 2.9%. Both track SPY, so what separates them is where each is in its own period.
MAYU
This fund has no cap. It takes a share of any further rise in SPY. The fund's price can fall 5.0% from here before the buffer starts absorbing losses, by the issuer's number. In index terms, SPY can fall 6.3% 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. 177 days remained on Nov 4, 2026. On Apr 30, 2027 the period ends and new terms are set.
PMMY
From its price on Nov 4, 2026, the fund can gain about 3.9% more before it reaches its cap. The fund's price can fall 2.9% from here before the buffer starts absorbing losses, by the issuer's number. Protection left, in index points: 100.0% of the 100.0% buffer still sits below today's SPY level. On Apr 30, 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.
