What this ETF is trying to do

The SPDR SSGA My2032 Corporate Bond ETF (ticker: MYCL) is an exchange-traded fund. Based on its name, it focuses on corporate bonds. An ETF is a way for investors to buy a collection of different assets all at once.

What the numbers show

As of October 5, 2026, the current price of one share is $23.53.

To understand how the price has moved, we can look at an estimated price from roughly one year ago, which was about $25.07. If you only look at the share price, it has gone down. This is called a price return. Over the last year, the price return was -6.16%. Year-to-date (YTD), the price return is -5.82%.

It is important to know that "price return" is not the same as "total return." Total return includes both the change in share price and any cash payments (distributions) the ETF gave to investors. The one-year total return was -1.72%, and the YTD total return was -2.51%.

Income and distribution explanation

Some investors look for ETFs that pay them regular cash. This is called a distribution yield. For MYCL, the distribution yield is approximately 4.85%. Over the last 12 months, the ETF paid out $1.14 per share in distributions. These payments usually happen every month.

While receiving cash can be helpful, it is important to remember that a high distribution yield does not guarantee you will make money overall. If the share price drops more than the amount of cash you receive, your total value could still go down.

NAV erosion explanation

You may see the term NAV erosion. "NAV" stands for Net Asset Value, which is the actual value of the assets held by the fund. "Erosion" refers to the risk that this value might decrease over time.

StockValueFinder uses an erosion-risk score to measure this. This ETF has an erosion score of 75, which is labeled as "mild price erosion." This is a measurement of risk, not a guarantee that the fund's value has collapsed.

Pros

• The ETF provides regular income, usually through monthly distributions.

• It has a distribution yield of approximately 4.85%.

Cons

• The share price has experienced a decline over the last year.

• Both the price return and the total return have been negative for the past year and year-to-date.

• There is a "mild" erosion-risk score.

Beginner takeaway

When looking at MYCL, it is important to look at both the cash it pays out and the change in its share price. While the ETF provides monthly income, the share price has been falling, which has resulted in a negative total return for the past year.
