Questions people ask about AIOO

Does AIOO have a cap?

How far can AIOO fall before the buffer helps?
0.4% in fund-price terms on Oct 28, 2026, by the issuer's number. In index terms SPY can fall 1.3% from that level before the buffer begins. Losses until that point are the holder's.
How much of the AIOO buffer is left?
100.0% of the 100.0% buffer sat below the SPY level on Oct 28, 2026. That is an ETFIQ calculation in index points, on one definition for every issuer.

The outcome period ends on Dec 31, 2026, 64 days from the data on Oct 28, 2026. New terms are set the next day and the buffer starts again.

ETFIQ, AIOO, buffer ETFs, data as of Oct 28, 2026. https://etfiq.com/funds/aioo

The outcome band for AIOO, redrawn every trading night.

Free to use with attribution for data ETFIQ computes; issuer data stays under its owner's terms. The underlying files are at Open data.

Buffer
The first slice of loss the fund absorbs for you over its outcome period, stated on the reference index. A 15% buffer means the index can fall 15% before you take any of it.
Cap
The most the fund can return over the period if held from the first day to the last. Quoted gross and net of fees. Set by the option market on day one, so the same fund can have a different cap each year.
Outcome period
The window, usually twelve months and sometimes six or three, over which the buffer and, where there is one, the cap apply. On its last day the options expire, the fund resets, and fresh terms are struck from that day’s option prices.
Reset
The day one outcome period ends and the next begins, with a fresh buffer and fresh terms struck at that day’s level.
Protection left
How much of the buffer still sits below today’s index level. All of it when the index is above its starting level; less once the index is inside the buffer range.
