What this ETF is trying to do

The Bluemonte Large Cap Growth ETF (BLGR) focuses on large companies that are expected to grow at a faster rate than the average market. Instead of buying individual stocks, this ETF holds other growth-focused ETFs. As of October 4, 2026, its portfolio includes:

• State Street SPDR Port S&P 500 GR ETF: 52.24%

• Schwab US Large-Cap Growth ETF: 25.73%

• Vanguard Russell 1000 Growth ETF: 12.30%

• State Street SPDR Port S&P 500 ETF: 8.88%

What the numbers show

As of October 9, 2026, the share price of BLGR is $33.57.

There are two ways to look at the returns: 1. Price Return: This measures only the change in the share price. The one-year price return is 15.64%, and the year-to-date (YTD) price return is 14.68%. 2. Total Return: This reflects the overall return, including distributions. The one-year total return is 15.97%, and the YTD total return is 15.00%.

To put this in perspective, if you had invested $10,000 based on the estimated price from roughly one year ago ($29.03), the price-only increase would be approximately $1,564.

Income and distribution explanation

BLGR pays out cash to investors, usually on a quarterly basis. Over the last 12 months, it has made 4 payouts. The distribution yield is 0.25%.

It is important for beginners to know that a distribution yield is not the same as a total return. While distributions provide cash income, they do not guarantee that the original money invested (the principal) will stay the same or grow.

NAV erosion explanation

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

BLGR has an erosion score of 100, and the label states "No price erosion detected." Additionally, the severe erosion-risk flag is false, meaning the price trend and score did not trigger a warning.

Pros

• The ETF has shown positive price and total returns over the last year and so far this year.

• It has a "good" erosion severity rating.

• It has an income rating grade of "A."

Cons

• The distribution yield is very low (0.25%), meaning it does not provide much cash income.

• There is no supplied data for three-year or five-year returns.

Beginner takeaway

BLGR is a growth-oriented ETF that invests in other large-cap growth funds. While it has seen a recent increase in share price, its primary goal is growth rather than providing high monthly or quarterly income. Always remember that a high yield alone can be misleading, but in this case, the yield is low and the focus is on price movement.
