ETF Education Report: BlackRock World ex U.S. Carbon Transition Readiness ETF (LCTD)
What this ETF is trying to do
The BlackRock World ex U.S. Carbon Transition Readiness ETF (ticker: LCTD) is an exchange-traded fund that focuses on companies outside of the United States. It looks for businesses that are prepared for a transition regarding carbon usage.
What the numbers show
When looking at an ETF, it is important to know the difference between "price return" and "total return." Price return only tracks how much the share price changed. Total return includes both the price change and any cash payments (distributions) made to investors.
Based on the data provided:
• Year-to-Date (YTD): The price return is approximately 5.75%, while the total return is approximately 7.50%.
• One Year: The price return was approximately 6.39%, while the total return was approximately 10.14%.
• Three Year: The price return was approximately 46.43%, while the total return was approximately 62.66%.
To visualize the price change, the estimated price from roughly one year ago was $54.33. The current price is $57.80.
Income and distribution explanation
This ETF provides cash distributions to investors. The distribution yield is approximately 3.38%. This number describes the cash payments relative to the current ETF price. Over the last 12 months, there were two payouts. The frequency of these payments is described as irregular or less frequent.
NAV erosion explanation
"NAV erosion" refers to a situation where the value of the underlying assets in the fund decreases significantly. StockValueFinder uses an "erosion-risk score" to measure this risk. For LCTD, the erosion score is 100, and the label indicates "No price erosion detected." There is no severe erosion-risk flag for this ETF.
Top Holdings
The following are the top holdings in the portfolio (note that this is a partial list):
• ASML Holding NV: 3.01%
• Royal Bank of Canada: 2.12%
• Novartis AG Registered Shares: 1.61%
• Banco Santander SA: 1.44%
• SAP SE: 1.32%
• Bank of Montreal: 1.29%
• HSBC Holdings PLC: 1.25%
• Hitachi Ltd: 1.22%
• Nestle SA: 1.20%
• Schneider Electric SE: 1.20%
Pros
• The ETF has shown positive price returns and total returns over the one-year and three-year periods.
• The erosion-risk measurement is rated as "good."
Cons
• Distributions are irregular, meaning they do not happen on a set schedule.
• The list of holdings is only a partial view of the 315 total holdings in the fund.
Beginner takeaway
When studying LCTD, remember that total return is the most complete way to see how much value was created, as it includes both price growth and cash distributions. While the fund provides a distribution yield, high yields alone do not guarantee that an investment will grow in value.
