IAUGBInnovator Intl Developed Power Buffer ETF

JULIBAllianzIM International Equity Buffer15 Uncapped Jul ETF

In short

IAUG Downside padding for foreign stocks instead of the usual S&P 500 target. IAUG shadows the iShares MSCI EAFE ETF, absorbs the first 15% of a year's losses, and trades away upside above a cap reset every August 1.

JULI No data

Stated mandate

IAUG The Fund seeks to match the return of its underlying ETF up to a predetermined upside cap while protecting against the first 15% of underlying ETF losses during the outcome period.

JULI No data

Why people hold it

  • IAUG The deal is written down in advance: match the reference ETF's return up to a preset cap, with the first 15% of its losses absorbed over an outcome period running August 1 to July 31.innovatoretfs.com
  • One rung in a 12-month ladder on the same EAFE exposure (IJUL, ISEP, IOCT and the rest), so entry points can be staggered rather than pinned to a single reset date.innovatoretfs.com
  • At 0.85% a year, it charges the same as the median fund in its buffered-international peer group. No premium for the international twist.

JULI No data

Worth knowing

  • IAUG Thinly traded with a small asset base, which usually means wider bid-ask spreads than the big buffer funds carry.
  • The 15% buffer and the cap are engineered for investors who hold the full outcome period. Buy mid-period and your actual cushion and ceiling differ from the headline terms.innovatoretfs.com
  • An options-built structure aimed at price outcomes, not cash flow. Distributions have not been part of the picture.
