ENDW: CAMBRIA ENDOWMENT STYLE ETF
What this ETF is trying to do
The Cambria Endowment Style ETF (ENDW) is designed to follow an "endowment style" of investing. This usually means spreading investments across many different types of assets to manage risk. Based on its top holdings, this ETF invests in other ETFs that focus on global value, shareholder yield, and real estate, as well as some individual stocks.
What the numbers show
As of October 9, 2026, the share price of ENDW was $34.49.
There are two ways to look at the returns:
• Price Return: This measures only the change in the share price. The one-year price return was 13.87%, and the year-to-date (YTD) price return was 11.50%.
• Total Return: This reflects the overall return, including the cash distributions paid to investors. The one-year total return was 16.78%, and the YTD total return was 13.09%.
For a simple example, if you had invested $10,000 based on the estimated price from roughly one year ago ($30.29), the price-only increase of 13.87% would have grown that amount to approximately $11,387.
Income and distribution explanation
ENDW pays out cash to its investors, usually on a quarterly basis. Over the last 12 months, it had four payouts. The distribution yield is 2.36%.
It is important for beginners to remember that a distribution yield is not the same as a total return. While distributions provide cash income, they do not guarantee that the original investment (the principal) will stay the same or grow.
NAV erosion explanation
"NAV erosion" happens when the internal value of an ETF's assets drops over time, often causing the share price to fall. StockValueFinder uses an erosion-risk score to measure this.
ENDW has an erosion score of 100, and the label states "No price erosion detected." Additionally, the severe erosion-risk flag is false, meaning the fund's price trend did not trigger a warning.
