ETF.net Research

CTJLCCorgi U.S. Equities 30% Structured Buffer ETF - July Series

DFEBCFT Vest U.S. Equity Deep Buffer ETF - February

In short

CTJL No data

DFEB A buffer with a deductible. DFEB lets the first 5% of a drop in the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust land on you, then covers the next 25 points, in exchange for an upside cap that resets every February.

Stated mandate

CTJL No data

DFEB The Fund seeks to match the price return of the State Street® SPDR® S&P 500® ETF Trust before fees and expenses, subject to an 11.87% upside cap, while protecting against Underlying ETF losses from -5% through -30% during the February 23, 2026–February 19, 2027 outcome period.

Why people hold it

CTJL No data

  • DFEB Deep coverage where it hurts: the fund targets protection against reference-ETF losses from -5% through -30%, a 25-point band, over each one-year outcome period.
  • One of twelve monthly vintages on the same reference ETF (DMAR, DJUN, DDEC and the rest), so entries can be laddered across the calendar instead of hinging on one start date.
  • Running since 2020, it has rolled through several full outcome periods, and it sits in the upper half of its deep-buffer peer group.
  • At 0.85%, the fee sits right at the median for deep-buffer funds tracking this kind of strategy.

Worth knowing

CTJL No data

  • DFEB The trade for depth: you absorb the first 5% of losses yourself, and gains stop at a cap that is reset each February from option pricing at the time.
  • It tracks price return only, so the reference ETF's dividends are not passed along, and the fund has not been paying distributions.
  • Cheaper deep-buffer options exist (PSCX and PSCW run 0.49%), and DFEB trades lightly, so limit orders are the sane way in and out.
