Share-split context: A forward split was recorded on Jul 14, 2026 with coefficient 10. A forward split turns each old share into multiple new shares and lowers the quoted price per share proportionally. Proportional ownership is unchanged at the split moment, so the split itself creates neither a gain nor a loss. The price-return figures in this report are already split-adjusted.

ETF Education Report: STMICROELECTRONICS NV ADRHEDGED(TM) (STHH)

What this ETF is trying to do

STHH is a single-stock ETF. This means instead of owning hundreds of different companies, this fund focuses on one specific company: STMICROELECTRONICS NV ADR. Because it tracks a single stock, its performance is tied directly to how that one company performs in the market.

What the numbers show

The current price of STHH is $11.60. When looking at how this ETF has performed, it is important to understand two different types of returns:

• Price Return: This measures only the change in the share price. For the year-to-date (YTD) period, the price return was approximately 125.23%. Over the last one year, the price return was approximately 106.29%.

• Total Return: This includes the share price changes plus any cash distributions paid out. The YTD total return was approximately 129.99%, and the one-year total return was approximately 112.09%.

This ETF has a history of forward splits. The most recent split occurred on July 14, 2026. In a forward split, each old share becomes multiple new shares (in this case, 10). While the price per share drops during a split, your total ownership stays the same. The split itself does not create a gain or a loss.

Income and distribution explanation

Some investors look for ETFs that pay out cash, known as distributions. STHH has a distribution yield of approximately 9.91%. This means the cash paid out is about 9.91% of the ETF's price. Over the last 12 months, the total trailing distributions were approximately $1.15 per share. These payments usually happen quarterly.

It is important to remember that a high distribution yield is not the same as total return. While distributions provide cash, they do not guarantee that your original investment will stay the same value.

NAV erosion explanation

"NAV erosion" is a term used to describe when the value of the underlying assets in an ETF decreases over time. StockValueFinder uses an "erosion-risk score" to measure this risk. For STHH, the erosion score is 100, and the label states "No price erosion detected." There is no severe erosion-risk flag for this ETF.

Pros

• The ETF has shown significant positive price returns and total returns over the last year.

• It provides a relatively high distribution yield for those seeking cash income.

Cons

• As a single-stock ETF, it lacks diversification. This means all the risk is tied to one company.

• High distribution yields can sometimes be misleading if the share price is not stable, though no erosion was detected here.

Beginner takeaway

STHH is a specialized tool that focuses on one company. It has provided both price growth and cash distributions recently. When looking at ETFs like this, always distinguish between the price return (the stock price moving) and the total return (the price movement plus the cash paid to you).
