RJ EAGLE MUNICIPAL INCOME ETF (RJMI) Educational Report

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. For RJMI, the year-to-date (YTD) price return is approximately -6.22%. The one-year price return was approximately -4.71%.
• Total Return: This includes the share price change plus any cash distributions paid out. The YTD total return is approximately -3.81%, and the one-year total return is approximately -1.67%.
An estimated price from roughly one year ago was $25.17. The current price is $23.99. Because the total return numbers are higher than the price return numbers, it shows that distributions helped offset some of the share-price decline.
Income and distribution explanation
This ETF pays out cash to investors, known as distributions. The distribution yield is approximately 3.32%. This number describes the cash paid out relative to the current ETF price. These distributions usually happen monthly, with 12 payments made over the last year. It is important to remember that a high distribution yield does not guarantee that an investor will earn that same percentage as a total return.
NAV erosion explanation
"NAV erosion" is a term used to describe when the value of the underlying assets in a fund decreases. While a falling share price can sometimes look like erosion, they are not the same thing. For this ETF, the erosion-risk score is 94, which is labeled as "Stable / sideways," and the erosion severity is rated as "good." There is no severe erosion-risk flag for this ETF.
Pros
• The fund provides regular monthly distributions.
• The erosion-risk measurements suggest the fund is currently stable or sideways rather than showing severe risk.
Cons
• The ETF has experienced a share-price decline over the last year and year-to-date.
• The income rating grade is a "C."
Beginner takeaway
When looking at RJMI, it is helpful to distinguish between the share price and the total return. While the share price has gone down, the distributions provided some extra value, making the total return slightly better than the price return alone. Always remember that high yields are not a guarantee of overall profit.
