Our read on each fund
IAUGB
YJUND
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.
YJUN Buffers are mostly an S&P 500 game. YJUN plays it overseas: FLEX options on the iShares MSCI EAFE ETF, a 15% cushion against losses, and an upside cap that resets every June.
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.
YJUN Seeks to match the price return of the iShares MSCI EAFE ETF up to a 14.65% cap while protecting the first 15% of losses during the June 22, 2026–June 17, 2027 target outcome period.
