What this ETF is trying to do

The FLEXSHARES International Quality Dividend Dynamic Index Fund (ticker: IQDY) is an ETF. Based on its name, it focuses on international companies that are considered "quality" and pay dividends. It holds a variety of different stocks from around the world to achieve this goal.

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 only tracks how much the share price itself has changed.

• Total Return includes both the change in share price *and* the money paid out through distributions (dividends).

For IQDY, the numbers show growth in both areas:

• Year-to-Date (YTD): The price return is approximately 15.96%, while the total return is approximately 19.20%.

• One Year: The price return was approximately 23.41%, and the total return was approximately 27.65%.

• Three Years: The price return was approximately 72.82%, and the total return was approximately 102.99%.

To give you an idea of price movement, the current price is $42.49. The estimated price from roughly one year ago was approximately $34.43.

Income and distribution explanation

This ETF pays out cash to investors, which is called a distribution. The distribution yield for IQDY is approximately 3.29%. This number tells you how much cash was distributed relative to the current share price.

Distributions for this fund usually happen quarterly. Over the last 12 months, there were 4 payouts. It is important to remember that a distribution yield is not the same as total return. While distributions provide cash income, they are just one part of how an investor earns money from an ETF.

NAV erosion explanation

"NAV erosion" is a term used to describe when the value of the underlying assets in an ETF decreases over time. Some investors worry about this because if the value of the fund drops significantly, it can be harder to maintain steady income.

For IQDY, the erosion-risk score is 100, and the label states "No price erosion detected." The erosion severity is rated as "good," and there is no severe erosion-risk flag present.

• Samsung Electronics Co Ltd: 1.63%

Pros

• The fund has shown positive price returns and total returns over the last year and three years.

• It provides a regular distribution yield.

Cons

• The list of holdings provided is only a partial list, meaning there are many other companies in the fund that are not shown here.

Beginner takeaway

When looking at IQDY, it is helpful to look at both the share price and the total return. Because this fund pays distributions, the total return will often be higher than the price return alone. Always remember that high yields are not a guarantee of future performance or stability.
