Side by side
As of Nov 4, 2026. Source: ETFIQ.
These are two different products. PMOC is a floor fund, which caps how far a holder can fall. SIXO is a buffer fund, which absorbs the first part of a fall and leaves everything below it with the holder.
They do not reset together. SIXO has 147 days of its period left and PMOC has 330, so the two are not the same bet on the same months.
Where each one stands today
SIXO resets first, on Mar 31, 2027, 147 days from now; PMOC runs to Sep 30, 2027, 330 days. PMOC can still gain 7.5% before its cap, SIXO 6.7%. A fall from here reaches PMOC’s buffer after 1.2% and SIXO’s after 1.0%. Both track SPY, so what separates them is where each is in its own period.
PMOC
From its price on Nov 4, 2026, the fund can gain about 7.5% more before it reaches its cap. The fund's price can fall 1.2% from here before the buffer starts absorbing losses, by the issuer's number. In index terms, SPY can fall 0.5% from today's level to the point where the buffer begins. Protection left, in index points: 100.0% of the 100.0% buffer still sits below today's SPY level. 330 days remained on Nov 4, 2026. On Sep 30, 2027 the period ends and a new cap is set.
SIXO
From its price on Nov 4, 2026, the fund can gain about 6.7% more before it reaches its cap. The fund's price can fall 1.0% from here before the buffer starts absorbing losses, by the issuer's number. Protection left, in index points: 10.0% of the 10.0% buffer still sits below today's SPY level. 147 days remained on Nov 4, 2026. On Mar 31, 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.
