Which buffer ETFs reset soon?

59 of the 431 buffer ETFs ETFIQ tracks end their outcome period within 60 days of Oct 28, 2026. On the day after it ends the fund strikes new terms from that day's option prices and the buffer starts again from zero.

askIQ about this question

A reset is the only moment the advertised terms are the terms you get. Buy the day after and you get the full buffer and fresh terms. Buy halfway through and you get whatever is left of both, which the band on every fund page shows.

The new terms are not known in advance. They are struck from option prices on the reset day, so a fund that capped at 15% one year can cap well below that the next if volatility has fallen. The buffer depth is fixed by the strategy; the other terms are not.

A fund at its cap before the reset has no further upside to collect in index terms however far the index climbs. It is waiting.
