What this ETF is trying to do

The HONEYTREE U.S. EQUITY ETF (BEEZ) is an exchange-traded fund that invests in U.S. companies. Based on its Top Holdings, the fund holds a variety of businesses, including ServiceNow Inc (5.12%), Agilent Technologies Inc (4.97%), and Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc (4.94%). These holdings were last updated on October 4, 2026.

What the numbers show

As of October 9, 2026, the current price of one share is $34.94.

To understand how the price has changed, we can look at the price return and total return:

• Year-to-Date (YTD): The price return and total return are both 6.52%.

• One-Year Performance: The price return (which only measures the change in share price) is 5.31%. The total return (which includes distributions) is 5.89%.

For a simple example, if you had invested $10,000 based on the estimated price from roughly one year ago ($33.18), a 5.31% price return would mean the value of those shares alone grew to approximately $10,531.

Income and distribution explanation

This ETF provides cash distributions to investors, but they happen irregularly. In the last 12 months, there was only one payout. The distribution yield is 0.52%.

It is important for beginners to remember that a distribution yield is not the same as a total return. While distributions provide cash income, they do not guarantee that the original investment value will stay the same or grow.

NAV erosion explanation

"NAV erosion" happens when the internal value of an ETF's assets declines over time. StockValueFinder uses an erosion-risk score to measure this.

BEEZ has an erosion score of 100, and the erosion label states "No price erosion detected." The erosion severity is listed as "good," and the severe erosion-risk flag is false. This means the fund's price trend has not triggered a warning for substantial price deterioration.

Pros

• Positive Returns: The fund has shown positive price and total returns over the last year and so far this year.

• Low Erosion Risk: The fund has a "good" erosion severity rating.

Cons

• Low Yield: The distribution yield is relatively low at 0.52%.

• Inconsistent Income: Distributions are irregular and infrequent.

Beginner takeaway

BEEZ is a U.S. equity fund with a diversified list of top companies. While it has seen a modest increase in share price over the last year, it does not provide a high or steady stream of cash income. Investors usually look for principal stability to ensure their original investment is safe while they earn income.
