What this ETF is trying to do

The Global X MSCI Colombia ETF (COLO) is designed to provide investors with exposure to companies in Colombia. It holds a variety of stocks, including those in energy, finance, and construction.

What the numbers show

As of October 7, 2026, the share price is $48.06. This ETF has a history of "mixed" splits, meaning it has had both forward splits (where one share becomes multiple shares) and reverse splits (where multiple shares are combined into fewer shares). Because of this, we use split-adjusted returns to see how it performed.

Income and distribution explanation

This ETF pays out cash to investors, known as distributions. Its distribution yield is approximately 4.15%. Over the last 12 months, it has made two payouts. The frequency of these payments is described as irregular or less frequent.

It is important for beginners to know that a high distribution yield alone can be misleading. While distributions provide cash income, they do not guarantee that the original investment value will stay the same.

NAV erosion explanation

"NAV erosion" happens when the underlying value of an ETF's assets drops over time. StockValueFinder uses an erosion-risk score to measure this. COLO has an erosion score of 100, and the label states "No price erosion detected." The erosion severity is rated as "good," and there is no severe erosion-risk flag for this fund.

Top Holdings

The portfolio is made up of 29 holdings. As of October 8, 2026, the top holdings include:

• Grupo Cibest SA Participating Preferred: 17.96%

• Interconexion Electrica SA ESP: 9.91%

• Ecopetrol SA: 9.35%

• Grupo Cibest SA: 8.24%

• Davivienda Group SA PRF Perpetual: 4.23%

Pros

• Strong split-adjusted price and total returns over the last three years.

• No detected price erosion according to the erosion-risk score.

• Provides a distribution yield for cash income.

Cons

• Distributions are irregular and not paid on a set schedule.

• The fund is focused on a single country, which may increase risk.

Beginner takeaway

COLO is an ETF for those wanting to invest in Colombian companies. It has shown significant growth in both share price and total return over the last few years. While it pays a distribution yield, the payments are irregular. Investors generally look for principal stability to ensure their initial investment doesn't disappear while they collect income.
