ETF Education Report: FLEXSHARES INTERNATIONAL QUALITY DIVIDEND INDEX FUND (IQDF)

What this ETF is trying to do

The FLEXSHARES INTERNATIONAL QUALITY DIVIDEND INDEX FUND (ticker: IQDF) is an exchange-traded fund (ETF) that focuses on international companies. Based on its name and holdings, it seeks to provide exposure to quality companies that pay dividends.

What the numbers show

When looking at an ETF, it is important to understand two different types of returns: price return and total return.

• Price Return: This measures only the change in the share price.

• Total Return: This includes both the share price change and the money paid out through distributions.

For IQDF, the numbers show growth in both areas:

• Year-to-Date (YTD): The price return is approximately 14.41%, while the total return is approximately 17.79%.

• One Year: The price return was approximately 20.46%, and the total return was approximately 24.73%.

• Three Years: The price return was approximately 66.49%, and the total return was approximately 94.37%.

To visualize this, the current price is $34.78. The estimated price from roughly one year ago was approximately $28.87.

Income and distribution explanation

This ETF provides cash to investors through distributions. The distribution yield is approximately 3.42%. This number describes the cash payments relative to the current ETF price. Over the last 12 months, there were 4 payouts, which usually happen on a quarterly basis.

It is important to remember that a distribution yield is not the same as total return. While distributions provide cash income, 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 significantly. Some investors worry that high payouts might cause this. However, for IQDF, the erosion-risk score is 100, which is labeled as "No price erosion detected." There is no severe erosion-risk flag for this fund.
