Our read on JULZ
DThe buffer ETF that skips the ceiling. JULZ buffers the first 8% to 12% of a 12-month drop in the S&P 500 price index with no cap on the upside, the format TrueShares pioneered in 2020.
The Fund seeks to track the S&P 500 Price Return Index before fees and expenses while seeking to buffer the first 8%–12% of index losses over each 12-month period.
Why people hold it
- Most buffer funds pay for downside cushion with an upside cap. This one doesn't: the buffer targets the first 8% to 12% of index losses each 12-month period, no ceiling attached.true-shares.com
- Running since 2020, from the shop that launched the uncapped buffer format. Sibling funds cover other start months (AUGZ, SEPZ, MARZ), so entry dates can be staggered across the year.true-shares.com
- Fee of 0.79% sits right at the going rate for shallow-buffer S&P 500 funds, and the outcome period resets on a fixed annual calendar each July 1.
Worth knowing
- Uncapped is not the same as full upside. Participation in index gains can land under 100%, and the reference is the S&P 500 price index, so dividends sit outside the math.true-shares.com
- The buffer is a targeted range (8% to 12%, aimed at 10%) measured over the full 12-month period, not a guarantee. Buy mid-period and your own cushion and exposure differ.true-shares.com
- Small fund, thin trading, so spreads can run wider than the biggest buffer names. Laddered buffer peers such as BUFB charge materially less.
