What this ETF is trying to do

The GENTER CAPITAL DIVIDEND INCOME ETF (GEND) is designed to provide investors with income through dividends. It holds a variety of companies, focusing on those that pay out cash to shareholders.

What the numbers show

As of October 9, 2026, the share price was $12.91.

When looking at performance, it is important to distinguish between price return (the change in the share price) and total return (which includes the share price change plus distributions).

• Year-to-Date (YTD): The price return is 11.97%, while the total return is 15.23%.

• One-Year: The price return is 14.41%, while the total return is 18.03%.

To put this in perspective, the estimated price from roughly one year ago was $11.28. If you had invested $10,000 based on that estimated price, the price-only increase (14.41%) would have grown that amount to approximately $11,441.

Income and distribution explanation

This ETF usually pays distributions quarterly. Over the last 12 months, it has made 4 payouts. The distribution yield is 3.02%.

It is important for beginners to remember that a high distribution yield alone can be misleading. Yield tells you how much cash is being paid out relative to the price, but it does not guarantee that the overall investment is growing or that your original principal is safe.

NAV erosion explanation

"NAV erosion" happens when the actual value of the fund's underlying assets drops over time, often causing the share price to fall consistently.

For this ETF, the erosion score is 100, and the erosion severity is labeled as "good." The data states "No price erosion detected," and the severe erosion-risk flag is false.
