SFLO: VICTORYSHARES SMALL CAP FREE CASH FLOW ETF
What this ETF is trying to do
The VICTORYSHARES SMALL CAP FREE CASH FLOW ETF (SFLO) focuses on small-cap companies. These are smaller businesses compared to large corporations. Specifically, this fund looks for companies that have "free cash flow," which is the money a business has left over after paying its operating expenses and capital costs.
What the numbers show
The current price of SFLO is $38.46. To understand how it has performed recently, we can look at two different types of returns:
• One-Year Price Return: This was 30.78%. This number only shows how much the share price changed over one year.
• One-Year Total Return: This was 31.92%. This figure reflects the overall return, which includes both the change in share price and any distributions paid out.
For the year so far (YTD), the price return is 30.44%, while the total return is 31.21%.
To put this into perspective using a simple example: If you had $10,000 invested one year ago (based on an estimated price from roughly one year ago of $29.41), your share-price value would be approximately $13,078 today based on the price return.
Income and distribution explanation
This ETF provides distributions to investors. The distribution yield is 0.71%. This percentage describes the cash paid out relative to the current price of the ETF. These distributions usually happen on a monthly basis, with 11 payouts occurring in the last 12 months. It is important for new investors to know that a high distribution yield does not automatically mean an investor earned that entire percentage as their total return.
NAV erosion explanation
NAV erosion is a term used to describe when the value of the underlying assets in a fund drops over time. StockValueFinder uses an erosion-risk score to measure this risk. SFLO has an erosion-risk score of 100, which carries a "good" severity rating. The data shows "No price erosion detected," and there is no severe erosion-risk flag for this ETF.
Pros
• The fund has shown positive share-price returns over the last year and since the start of the year.
• It has a good erosion-risk score, indicating that the value of its underlying assets has remained stable according to these measurements.
Cons
• Investors should remember that price return and total return are different; one only tracks the share price, while the other includes distributions.
