Side by side
As of Nov 4, 2026. Source: ETFIQ.
They do not reset together. PQXV has 57 days of its period left and OCTT has 330, so the two are not the same bet on the same months.
Where each one stands today
PQXV resets first, on Dec 31, 2026, 57 days from now; OCTT runs to Sep 30, 2027, 330 days. OCTT can still gain 16.5% before its cap, PQXV 2.1%. A fall from here reaches OCTT’s buffer after 1.4% and PQXV’s after 0.7%. Both track SPY, so what separates them is where each is in its own period.
No client brief for this pair: ETFIQ prints no one-year total return for PQXV.

How this is computed
It is a place in a set, not a rating or a recommendation.
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.
