What this ETF is trying to do

The 3EDGE DYNAMIC HARD ASSETS ETF (EDGH) is an exchange-traded fund listed on the NYSE. This ETF focuses on "hard assets," which generally refers to physical commodities or assets like gold and silver. Based on its top holdings, the fund invests in various commodity strategies and precious metals trusts to manage its portfolio.

What the numbers show

The current price of EDGH is $33.92. When looking at how the share price has moved, we can see both recent and yearly growth:

• Year-to-Date (YTD) Price Return: The share price has increased by approximately 11.51% since the start of the year.

• One-Year Price Return: Over the last 12 months, the share price grew by approximately 16.28%.

It is important to distinguish between price return and total return. Price return only tracks the change in the share price itself. Total return includes both the price change and any distributions (cash payments) made to investors. For EDGH, the one-year total return was approximately 17.64%, which is higher than the price return alone.

An estimated price from roughly one year ago was approximately $29.17.

Income and distribution explanation

EDGH provides a distribution yield of approximately 1.05%. This represents the cash distributions relative to the ETF's price. The trailing distributions over the last year totaled approximately $0.36 per share.

Investors should note that the distribution frequency for this ETF is described as "irregular" or "less frequent," with only one payout recorded in the last 12 months. While distributions provide cash income, they are not a guarantee of future payments or the preservation of your original investment.

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.

However, looking at price-based evidence, the fund has an erosion score of 100, which is labeled as "No price erosion detected." Additionally, there is no severe erosion-risk flag for this ETF.

Beginner takeaway

EDGH is an ETF focused on hard assets like gold and silver. While it has shown price growth over the last year, investors should be aware that its cash distributions happen irregularly. Always remember that a distribution yield tells you about cash payments, but it does not tell the whole story of how much an investment is worth overall.
