ETF Education Report: SIXL

The ETC 6 Meridian Low Beta Equity Strategy ETF (SIXL) is designed to follow a low-beta equity strategy. This generally means it seeks to invest in stocks that may be less volatile than the broader market. Based on the data, it provides a modest distribution yield and has shown positive price and total returns over the last three years.

What the Numbers Show

As of October 9, 2026, the share price of SIXL was $38.45. For investors looking at performance, there are two different numbers to consider: price return (the change in the share price) and total return (which includes the share price change plus distributions).

• Year-to-Date (YTD): The price return is 6.10%, while the total return is 7.74%.

• One Year: The price return is 5.19%, and the total return is 7.56%.

• Three Year: The price return is 24.74%, and the total return is 31.83%.

An estimated price from roughly one year ago was $36.55.

Income and Distribution Explanation

SIXL pays distributions usually every month, with 12 payments made over the last year. The distribution yield is approximately 2.21%.

It is important for beginners to remember that a distribution yield is not the same as a total return. While the yield provides cash income, the total return tells you how the investment performed overall. In this case, the supplied total returns are higher than the price returns, showing that distributions added to the overall gain.

NAV Erosion Explanation

"NAV erosion" happens when the net asset value (the actual value of the fund's holdings) declines over time. The supplied data is sufficient to evaluate price erosion, but it does not include enough historical NAV-per-share data to confirm or rule out NAV erosion.

However, looking at price-based evidence, the ETF has an erosion score of 100, and the label states "No price erosion detected." The severe erosion-risk flag is also false.

Top Holdings

As of October 12, 2026, the fund held 242 different assets. Because the list is partial, these are only the Top Holdings:

• Progeny Inc: 0.72%

• The Chefs' Warehouse Inc: 0.71%

• CoreCivic Inc: 0.67%

• TG Therapeutics Inc: 0.64%

• Davita Inc: 0.63%

Pros

• Positive total returns over the short-term (1 year) and long-term (3 and 5 years).

• Consistent monthly distribution history.

• No price erosion detected based on the erosion score.

Cons

• The distribution yield is relatively low compared to specialized high-income ETFs.

• The top holdings each make up a very small percentage of the total fund.

Beginner Takeaway

SIXL is an equity ETF that focuses on a low-beta strategy. It has provided both share-price growth and monthly cash income over the last three years. While it offers a steady distribution, the yield is modest, and the primary growth has come from the increase in the share price.
