GGM Macro Alignment ETF (GGM)

The GGM Macro Alignment ETF (GGM) is designed to align its portfolio with macro trends. Based on the data, it is characterized by positive price returns over the short and long term and a low distribution yield.

What this ETF is trying to do

GGM invests in other ETFs to gain exposure to different sectors of the economy. As of October 12, 2026, the fund holds five specific ETFs. Its Top Holdings include:

• XSD (S&P Semiconductor ETF): 20.14%

• XME (S&P Metals & Mining ETF): 19.94%

• XLE (Energy Select Sector SPDR ETF): 19.90%

• XLK (Technology Select Sector SPDR ETF): 19.88%

• XLV (Health Care Select Sector SPDR ETF): 19.53%

What the numbers show

The ETF has seen growth in its share price across several timeframes:

• Year-to-Date (YTD): The price return is 13.67%.

• One Year: The price return is 14.02%.

• Three Year: The price return is 27.58%.

When looking at total return (which includes both price changes and distributions), the numbers are slightly higher: the one-year total return is 15.79% and the three-year total return is 31.98%. The five-year total return is 49.79%.

For a simple example, if an investor had put $10,000 into the ETF roughly one year ago at the estimated price of $27.15, the price-only growth (14.02%) would have increased that principal to approximately $11,402.

Income and distribution explanation

GGM provides a distribution yield of 1.38%. Over the last 12 months, it has made one payout totaling $0.43 per share. The distribution frequency is listed as irregular or less frequent.

It is important for beginners to remember that a distribution yield is not the same as total return. While distributions provide cash, the overall success of an investment depends on both the yield and the change in the share price.

NAV erosion explanation

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, based on price-based evidence, the ETF has an erosion score of 100, and the label states "No price erosion detected." The erosion severity is rated as "good," and there is no severe erosion-risk flag.

Pros

• Positive price and total returns over one, three, and five-year periods.

• No price erosion detected according to the erosion score.

• Diversified across several major sectors like Technology, Health Care, and Energy.

Cons

• Low distribution yield compared to high-income funds.

• Irregular payout schedule, meaning investors cannot rely on a steady monthly or quarterly check.

Beginner takeaway

GGM is a fund that focuses more on price growth than on providing high monthly income. While it has a high income rating grade of "A," its actual yield is low. This ETF may be used by investors who want exposure to macro-economic sectors and are more interested in total return than frequent cash payouts.
