Where each one stands today

NJUN resets first, on May 31, 2027, 243 days from now; QJN runs to May 31, 2027, 243 days. A fall from here reaches NJUN’s buffer after 1.8% and QJN’s after 0.0%. Both track QQQ, 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.
