What the numbers show

Regarding performance history, specific data for price returns and total returns (such as one-year or three-year figures) was not supplied. Because there is no recent price history available in the data, an estimated price from roughly one year ago cannot be provided.

Income and distribution explanation

Some investors look at ETFs to receive regular cash payments, known as distributions. For CVSM, the trailing distributions are $0.1823. The distribution yield is 0.7366%.

It is important to understand that the distribution yield is not the same as a total return. The yield only shows how much cash was paid out relative to the ETF's price. Additionally, the frequency for this ETF is described as "irregular" or "less frequent." In the last 12 months, there were 2 payouts.

NAV erosion explanation

NAV erosion refers to a decline in the Net Asset Value (the actual value of the assets held by the fund). The supplied data is sufficient to evaluate price erosion, but it does not include enough historical NAV-per-share data to confirm or rule out NAV erosion.

Currently, the erosion score is withheld because there is insufficient verified price history. There is no severe erosion-risk flag for this ETF at this time.

Beginner takeaway

CVSM is an ETF that invests in small and mid-sized companies. While it does pay out distributions, the payments are not frequent. When looking at ETFs that pay cash, remember that a high yield does not guarantee the investment's value will stay the same. Always look at both price changes and distributions to understand how an ETF is performing.
