In short

CTJL No data

DJUL Deep buffer, July vintage. DJUL leaves you the first 5% of an S&P 500 drawdown, then is built to absorb the next 25 points through its one-year outcome period. The price for that: upside stops at a cap reset each July.

Stated mandate

CTJL No data

DJUL DJUL seeks to match the price return of the State Street SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust, subject to a 13.60% upside cap. It seeks protection against underlying losses between 5% and 30% during the stated outcome period.

Why people hold it

CTJL No data

  • DJUL The "deep" part is real: protection is designed to kick in from 5% down to 30% down on the reference fund, a wider shock absorber than standard 10% buffer products.ftportfolios.com
  • One of twelve monthly copies of the same deep-buffer recipe, so start dates can be laddered across the calendar instead of riding on a single July reset.
  • Fee lands at 0.85%, dead level with the median of its deep-buffer peer group.
  • Running since 2020, with multiple full outcome periods behind it and a multi-hundred-million-dollar asset base.

Worth knowing

CTJL No data

  • DJUL Cheaper deep-buffer routes exist: Pacer's Swan SOS Conservative funds (PSCX, PSCW) charge 0.49% against 0.85% here.
  • It targets the price return of the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust, so index dividends sit outside the payoff and the fund has not been an income payer.
  • Buffer and cap are set July to July; step in mid-period and both look different. Trading is thin, so spreads are worth a look.
