ETF Education Report: Eventide International ETF (ESIM)
What this ETF is trying to do
The Eventide International ETF (ticker: ESIM) is an exchange-traded fund that trades on the NYSE. While the specific investment goal isn't detailed in the data, it holds a variety of international companies. This ETF contains 116 total holdings.
What the numbers show
As of October 5, 2026, the current price of ESIM is $28.86. We can look at how the fund has performed "Year-to-Date" (YTD), which means from the start of the current year up to the report date.
• YTD Price Return: Approximately 13.67%. This number measures only the change in the share price.
• YTD Total Return: Approximately 15.28%. This number is different because it includes both the share price change and the impact of distributions.
Because this ETF does not have a history of stock splits, we do not have an estimated price from roughly one year ago to compare against.
Income and distribution explanation
Some investors look for ETFs that pay out cash, known as distributions. ESIM has a distribution yield of approximately 1.43%. This means the cash distributed is about 1.43% of the ETF's price.
The fund usually pays out money quarterly, and it has made 4 payments over the last 12 months. It is important to remember that a distribution yield is not the same as total return. While distributions provide cash, they are separate from the growth of the share price itself.
NAV erosion explanation
"NAV erosion" refers to a situation where the value of the underlying assets in the fund decreases. A falling share price does not always mean NAV erosion is happening, but it is something investors watch. For ESIM, the severe erosion-risk flag is false, and there is no specific score provided to measure erosion risk at this time.

Beginner takeaway
When looking at ESIM, it is helpful to distinguish between the price return (how much the share price moved) and the total return (which includes distributions). While this ETF pays a distribution, it is not categorized as a high-income fund. Always remember that distributions provide cash but do not guarantee the share price will stay the same.
