Our read on QJUN

ETF.net Research

In short

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.

Stated mandate

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
