Our read on QJUN
COne of four First Trust Nasdaq-100 buffer funds, each keyed to a different quarter. QJUN's clock runs June to June: the first 10% of a QQQ decline is absorbed, and upside stops at a cap that resets every June.
The Fund seeks to match the price return of the Invesco QQQ Trust, Series 1 up to a 24.97% upside cap while protecting against the first 10% of losses during the June 22, 2026–June 17, 2027 outcome period.
Why people hold it
- The terms are a contract, not a hope: a 10% buffer against QQQ losses and a stated cap, both fixed for a June-to-June outcome period, so the shape of the trade is known up front.ftportfolios.com
- Siblings QMAR, QSPT and QDEC run the same design on different quarters, so the strategy can be laddered across start dates instead of hinging on one June entry point.
- Running since 2021 with a few hundred million in assets and regular daily volume, it is an established name in a category full of thinly used launches.
Worth knowing
- At 0.90% it sits above the typical Nasdaq-100 buffer fund near 0.79%, and cheaper takes exist: QBUF at 0.79%, PQAP at 0.50%, QTR at 0.25%.
- The reference is QQQ's price return, so Nasdaq-100 dividends are outside the deal.
- Buying mid-period is a different trade: buffer left and room to the cap depend on where QQQ has moved since the June reset, not on the headline terms.ftportfolios.com
