Side by side
As of Nov 4, 2026. Source: ETFIQ.
UDEC is already at its cap, so more rise in the index adds nothing to it before the period ends.
Where each one stands today
SIXD resets first, on Nov 30, 2026, 26 days from now; UDEC runs to Nov 30, 2026, 26 days. SIXD can still gain 5.9% before its cap, UDEC 1.4%. A fall from here reaches SIXD’s buffer after 2.1% and UDEC’s after 14.1%. Both track SPY, so what separates them is where each is in its own period.
SIXD
From its price on Nov 4, 2026, the fund can gain about 5.9% more before it reaches its cap. The fund's price can fall 2.1% from here before the buffer starts absorbing losses, by the issuer's number. In index terms, SPY can fall 1.3% from today's level to the point where the buffer begins. Protection left, in index points: 10.0% of the 10.0% buffer still sits below today's SPY level. 26 days remained on Nov 4, 2026. On Nov 30, 2026 the period ends and a new cap is set.
UDEC
SPY had already risen past this fund's cap of +12.0% for the period on Nov 4, 2026, so in index terms there is no more upside to collect. The fund's own price can still drift up to about 1.4% as the period runs out. The fund's price can fall 14.1% from here before the buffer starts absorbing losses, by the issuer's number. In index terms, SPY can fall 15.3% from today's level to the point where the buffer begins. Protection left, in index points: 30.0% of the 30.0% buffer still sits below today's SPY level.

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.
