What this ETF is trying to do

The FOLIOBEYOND Alternative Income and Interest Rate Hedge ETF (RISR) is designed to provide investors with income and a way to hedge against changes in interest rates. It is listed on the NYSE.

What the numbers show

As of September 18, 2026, the share price was $36.66. To understand how the ETF has performed, we look at two different types of returns: price return (the change in the share price) and total return (which includes both the price change and the distributions paid out).

• Year-to-Date (YTD): The price return is 1.52%, while the total return is 5.63%.

• One Year: The price return is 1.49%, while the total return is 7.70%.

• Three Year: The price return is 10.10%, while the total return is 33.26%.

For a simple example, if you had invested $10,000 exactly one year ago at the estimated price of $36.12, the price-only growth would have resulted in a value of approximately $10,149.

Income and distribution explanation

This ETF usually pays distributions monthly. Over the last 12 months, it has made 12 payouts totaling $2.15 per share. This results in a distribution yield of approximately 5.86%.

It is important for beginners to remember that a high distribution yield alone can be misleading. A yield tells you how much cash the ETF is paying out relative to its price, but it does not guarantee that the total investment is growing or that the original principal is safe.

NAV erosion explanation

"NAV erosion" happens when the actual value of the assets inside an ETF drops over time, often causing the share price to fall. Investors who want steady income care about principal stability because they don't want their initial investment to shrink while they collect payouts.

For this ETF, the erosion-risk score is 94, which is labeled as "Stable / sideways" with "good" severity. Additionally, the severe erosion-risk flag is false, meaning the screening rules did not detect a dangerous downward price trend.

Pros

• Positive Returns: The ETF has shown positive price and total returns over the short and medium term.

• Consistent Income: It provides monthly distributions.

• Stability: It has a "good" erosion-risk rating.

Cons

• Slow Price Growth: The one-year price return (1.49%) is significantly lower than the total return, meaning most of the gains came from distributions rather than the share price increasing.

• No Holdings Data: There are currently no top holdings listed in the supplied data.

Beginner takeaway

RISR is an ETF that focuses on income and interest rate hedging. While its share price has grown slowly, its total return is higher because it pays out regular monthly distributions. Based on the supplied data, it currently shows a stable erosion-risk profile.
