CAMX: CAMBIAR AGGRESSIVE VALUE ETF
What this ETF is trying to do
The CAMBIAR AGGRESSIVE VALUE ETF (ticker: CAMX) is an exchange-traded fund listed on the NYSE. This ETF focuses on an "aggressive value" strategy.
What the numbers show
As of October 9, 2026, the current price of one share of CAMX is $33.98. An estimated price from roughly one year ago was $31.29.
When looking at how this ETF has performed, it is important to understand two different numbers: price return and total return.
• Price return only tracks how much the share price itself changed.
• Total return includes both the change in share price AND any cash distributions (dividends) paid out.
Here is what the data shows:
• Year-to-Date (YTD): The YTD price return and the YTD total return are both 7.83%.
• One Year: The one-year price return was 8.61%, while the one-year total return was higher at 10.25%.
• Three Years: The three-year price return was 39.56%, and the three-year total return was 44.76%.
Income and distribution explanation
Some investors look for ETFs that pay out cash, known as distributions. CAMX has a distribution yield of 1.41%. This means the cash distributions are about 1.41% of the ETF's price. The trailing distributions were approximately $0.48 per share.
It is important to remember that a distribution yield is not the same as total return. Also, the frequency of these payments is described as "irregular" or "less frequent."
NAV erosion explanation
"NAV erosion" refers to a decline in the value of the underlying assets that make up the ETF. If an ETF has high NAV erosion, it means the actual value of its holdings may be shrinking.
For CAMX, the erosion-risk score is 100, and the label states "No price erosion detected." The severity is rated as "good," and there is no severe erosion-risk flag.

Beginner takeaway
When studying CAMX, notice that the total return is higher than the price return. This happens because the total return accounts for the extra value gained from distributions. Always look at both numbers to see the full picture of how an ETF has performed.
