Our read on GJUN

ETF.net Research

CRebuilt every June: GJUN follows the price of the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust up to a preset cap while absorbing the first 15% of a decline. A cushion with a ceiling, on a fixed annual schedule.

Stated mandate

The Fund seeks to match the price return of the State Street SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust, before fees and expenses, up to a predetermined upside cap while buffering the first 15% of losses during the current outcome period.

Why people hold it

  1. 01The 15% cushion is written into the fund's terms, not left to a manager's judgment: each June-to-June outcome period aims to absorb the reference ETF's first 15% of losses.
  2. 02The reference asset is the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust itself, so the thing being buffered is a fund whose price you can watch tick by tick.
  3. 03June is one rung in First Trust's full twelve-month moderate-buffer series, so the reset month is a choice and laddering across months is straightforward.

Worth knowing

  1. 01At 0.85% a year it prices above the typical fund in its buffer cohort, a big reason it sits in the lower half of that peer group.
  2. 02Cap and buffer are measured across a full outcome period. Step in mid-period and your remaining cushion and upside room differ from the headline terms.
  3. 03The mandate targets price return, so payouts are not part of the design.
