IJULBInnovator Intl Developed Power Buffer ETF

JULIBAllianzIM International Equity Buffer15 Uncapped Jul ETF

In short

IJUL Most buffer ETFs babysit the S&P 500. IJUL points the same 15% downside cushion at developed markets outside the US, tracking an EAFE index fund up to a cap over a one-year outcome period that restarts each July.

JULI No data

Stated mandate

IJUL The fund seeks to track the return of the iShares MSCI EAFE ETF (EFA) up to a predetermined cap while protecting against the first 15% of losses during the outcome period.

JULI No data

Why people hold it

  • IJUL The mechanics are fixed by prospectus: absorb the first 15% of the reference ETF's losses over the outcome period, participate in gains up to a cap set when that period begins.innovatoretfs.com
  • Foreign exposure, not another S&P 500 clone. The reference asset is the iShares MSCI EAFE ETF, so the buffer sits on developed-market equity.innovatoretfs.com
  • At 0.85% a year, it charges exactly the median fee of its buffer peer group. No surcharge for pointing the structure overseas.
  • Running since 2019 and one of the strongest implementations in its cohort, with sibling months (IMAR, IAPR, IMAY) available if you want staggered start dates.

JULI No data

Worth knowing

  • IJUL The cap is the price of the cushion: upside stops there for the period. Buying mid-period means your own buffer and cap differ from the stated terms.
  • Return comes from share price, not income. The options-based structure has produced no distributions, so EAFE's dividend stream is not passed through.
  • Volume is light next to plain index funds, so spreads and limit orders matter more at the moment you trade.
