What this ETF is trying to do

The FIRST TRUST ACTIVE FACTOR LARGE CAP ETF (AFLG) is an exchange-traded fund that focuses on large companies. It holds a variety of different stocks to build its portfolio.

What the numbers show

When looking at an ETF, it is important to understand two different types of returns: price return and total return.

• Price Return: This measures only how much the share price has changed.

• Total Return: This includes both the change in share price AND any cash distributions (dividends) paid out to investors.

For AFLG, the numbers show growth over different time periods:

• Year-to-Date (YTD): The price return is approximately 15.45%, while the total return is approximately 15.82%.

• One Year: The price return was approximately 15.71%, and the total return was approximately 16.63%.

• Three Years: The price return was approximately 81.99%, and the total return was approximately 87.13%.

To give you an idea of price movement, the current price is $45.14. The estimated price from roughly one year ago was $39.01.

Income and distribution explanation

Some investors look for "income," which is cash paid out by the ETF. AFLG has a distribution yield of approximately 0.70%. This means the cash distributions are about 0.70% of the ETF's price. The fund usually pays these out quarterly, and it has made 4 payments in the last 12 months.

NAV erosion explanation

"NAV erosion" is a term used to describe when the value of the underlying assets in an ETF decreases significantly. It is important to remember that a falling share price does not always mean the NAV is eroding. In the case of AFLG, the erosion-risk score is 100, which is labeled as "No price erosion detected." There is no severe erosion-risk flag for this ETF.

Pros

• The ETF has shown positive price returns and total returns over the last year and three years.

• The erosion-risk measurement is considered "good."

Cons

• The distribution yield (0.70%) is relatively low compared to some other types of income-focused funds.

Beginner takeaway

AFLG is an ETF that tracks large companies. It has grown in both share price and total value over the past year. When studying this ETF, remember that total return is the most complete way to see how much value was actually created, as it includes both price changes and cash distributions.
