What this ETF is trying to do

The Carbon Collective Short Duration Green Bond ETF (CCSB) is an exchange-traded fund that focuses on "green bonds." These are types of loans used to fund projects that help the environment. Because it is a "short duration" fund, it generally focuses on bonds that will be paid back in a shorter amount of time.

What the numbers show

As of October 5, 2026, the share price of the ETF is $19.33.

When looking at performance, it is important to distinguish between price return and total return:

• Price Return: This measures only the change in the share price. The one-year price return is -4.40%, and the year-to-date (YTD) price return is -3.95%.

• Total Return: This reflects the overall return, including the cash distributions paid to investors. The one-year total return is -0.13%, and the YTD total return is -1.10%.

To put this in perspective, the estimated price from roughly one year ago was $20.22. If an investor had put $10,000 into the shares a year ago, the value of those shares alone (without counting distributions) would have decreased based on the price return.

Income and distribution explanation

This ETF usually pays out distributions monthly. Over the last 12 months, it has made 12 payouts. The distribution yield is approximately 4.54%.

For new investors, it is important to remember that a high distribution yield alone can be misleading. While these payments 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 net asset value of a fund declines over time, which can lead to a falling share price. StockValueFinder uses an erosion-risk score to measure this.

CCSB has an erosion score of 94, which is labeled as "Stable / sideways" with "good" severity. Additionally, the severe erosion-risk flag is false, meaning the fund's price trend and score did not trigger a severe warning.

Pros

• Regular Income: The fund provides monthly cash distributions.

• Stability Score: The erosion-risk measurement is currently rated as "good."

Cons

• Negative Returns: Both the price return and total return have been negative over the last year and year-to-date.

• Income Grade: The fund has an income rating grade of "C."

Beginner takeaway

CCSB allows investors to put money into green bonds while receiving monthly cash payments. While the distribution yield is 4.54%, the share price has declined over the past year. Investors should look at both the price return and the total return to understand how the fund is performing overall.
