The ETF.net PMNV Grade
Score 40 of 100 sits in the C band. Bands: A ≥ 70, B ≥ 55, C ≥ 40, D ≥ 25, F < 25; the scale skips E. A structural cap ceilings this fund at 40, so B and A are out of reach.

Our read on PMNV
CMost buffer funds shield a slice of the downside. PMNV goes for the whole slice: a 100-point buffer on its S&P 500 reference ETF over each November-to-November year, paid for with a hard cap on the upside.
The Fund seeks to match SPY’s price return up to a predetermined upside cap while maximizing protection against SPY losses over the one-year Target Outcome Period.
Why people hold it
- The buffer is the full 100 percentage points, so the fund is built to absorb the reference ETF's price decline over its one-year period, before fees. Dividends sit outside the outcome.
- 0.50% a year, well under the 0.79% median for its buffer peer group and cheaper than Innovator's PMAY and PDEC at 0.79%.
- Terms run on a calendar, not a manager's hunch: the outcome period starts November 1, ends the following October 31, and resets.
- Sits in the upper half of a two-dozen-fund buffer cohort, with price doing much of the work.
Worth knowing
- The cap is what pays for full protection. Upside above it doesn't come through, and a fresh cap is set each November when the period resets.
- Buffer and cap are measured from the November 1 start, so buying mid-period leaves you with different terms than the headline ones.
- Launched in 2025, small and thinly traded, so spreads can be wider than at the largest buffer franchises.
