What this ETF is trying to do

The Global X Adaptive U.S. Factor ETF (AUSF) is an exchange-traded fund that invests in a variety of U.S. companies. It holds a total of 190 different holdings. Based on the top holdings, the fund has exposure to companies like Verizon (2.15%), AT&T (2.07%), and Microsoft (1.80%). These holdings can change over time.

What the numbers show

As of October 5, 2026, the share price was $49.07. To understand how the fund has performed, we look at two different types of returns: price return (which only tracks the share price) and total return (which includes distributions).

• Year-to-Date (YTD): The price return is 5.82%, while the total return is 7.87%.

• One Year: The price return is 5.39%, while the total return is 8.42%.

• Three Year: The price return is 57.10%, while the total return is 70.34%.

For a simple example, the estimated price from roughly one year ago was $46.56. If you had invested $10,000 based on that estimated price, the price-only increase (5.39%) would be worth approximately $10,539.

Income and distribution explanation

This ETF pays out cash to investors, which is called a distribution. It usually pays these distributions quarterly. Over the last 12 months, it made 5 payouts totaling $1.38 per share.

The distribution yield is approximately 2.81%. It is important for beginners to know that a high yield alone can be misleading. A yield tells you how much cash you are getting relative to the price, but it does not guarantee that your original investment (the principal) will stay the same or grow.

NAV erosion explanation

"NAV erosion" happens when the actual value of the fund's underlying assets drops over time. StockValueFinder uses an erosion-risk score to measure this.

AUSF has an erosion score of 100, and the erosion label states "No price erosion detected." The erosion severity is rated as "good," and there is no severe erosion-risk flag for this fund.

Pros

• Positive Returns: The fund has shown positive price and total returns over the short and long term.

• Low Erosion Risk: The erosion-risk score suggests the fund has maintained its value well.

• Diversification: It holds 190 different companies.

Cons

• Moderate Yield: While it provides income, the distribution yield is relatively low compared to some specialized income funds.

Beginner takeaway

AUSF is a fund that provides both share-price growth and regular cash distributions. While the share price has increased, the total return is higher because it includes the cash paid out to investors. It currently shows a healthy erosion-risk score, meaning the fund's value has not been deteriorating.
