Share-split context: A reverse split was recorded on Dec 20, 2022 with coefficient 0.333333. A reverse split combines multiple old shares into fewer new shares and mechanically raises the quoted price per share. That mechanical increase does not restore lost investment value. The returns in this report are already split-adjusted, while reverse-split history remains a separate structural warning.

What this ETF is trying to do

The Global X Education ETF (EDUT) is an exchange-traded fund that focuses on the education sector. It allows investors to put money into a group of companies related to education rather than picking just one single stock.

What the numbers show

As of October 7, 2026, the share price for EDUT is $20.54.

When looking at performance, it is important to use "split-adjusted" returns. This is because the ETF has a history of share splits. Specifically, it had a reverse split on December 20, 2022. In a reverse split, multiple old shares are combined into fewer new shares, which mechanically raises the price per share. This change in price does not restore lost investment value.

Here is the performance based on the supplied data:

• Year-to-Date (YTD) Price Return: 0%

• One-Year Price Return: 0%

• Three-Year Price Return: -1.59%

• Three-Year Total Return: -1.59%

• Five-Year Total Return: -38.26%

Income and distribution explanation

Some investors buy ETFs to get regular cash payments, called distributions. However, this ETF has a distribution yield of 0% and no distributions were detected over the last 12 months. This means it does not currently provide cash income to its shareholders.

NAV erosion explanation

"NAV erosion" happens when the underlying value of an ETF's assets declines over time. Investors generally want their principal (the original amount they invested) to stay stable.

StockValueFinder uses an erosion-risk score to measure this. EDUT 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 did not trigger a severe warning based on its price trends and score.

Pros

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

• No Severe Warning: There is no severe erosion-risk flag active for this fund.

Cons

• Negative Long-Term Returns: The five-year total return is -38.26%.

• No Income: The fund does not currently pay out distributions.

• Reverse Split History: The fund has undergone a reverse split in the past.

Beginner takeaway

EDUT is an education-themed ETF that has seen a significant decline over a five-year period. While its recent erosion-risk score is considered stable, it does not provide any cash income to investors. Always remember that a high distribution yield in other funds can be misleading if the share price is falling, though that is not the case here since this fund pays no distributions.
