ETF Education Report: TOUCHSTONE DYNAMIC INTERNATIONAL ETF (TDI)
What this ETF is trying to do
The TOUCHSTONE DYNAMIC INTERNATIONAL ETF, trading under the ticker TDI, is an exchange-traded fund. Based on its holdings, it focuses on international companies. This means it invests in businesses located outside of the United States.
What the numbers show
The current price of one share is $47.24. To understand how the price has changed, we can look at two different types of returns:
• Price Return: This measures only the change in the share price. The year-to-date (YTD) price return is approximately 22.14%. The one-year price return is approximately 24.29%.
• Total Return: This measures the share price change *plus* any distributions (cash payments) received. The YTD total return is approximately 22.14%. The one-year total return is approximately 26.69%.
Because the one-year total return (26.69%) is higher than the one-year price return (24.29%), we can see that distributions added to the overall value. For comparison, an estimated price from roughly one year ago was $38.01.
Income and distribution explanation
Some investors look for ETFs that pay out cash, known as distributions. This ETF has a distribution yield of approximately 1.59%. The trailing distributions were $0.75. The data shows that these payments happen on an irregular or less frequent basis, with one payout recorded in the last 12 months.
NAV erosion explanation
"NAV erosion" is a term used to describe when the value of the underlying assets in a fund decreases significantly over time. It is important to distinguish between a falling share price and NAV erosion. In this case, the erosion-risk score is 100, which is labeled as "No price erosion detected." There is no severe erosion-risk flag for this ETF.

Beginner takeaway
When looking at an ETF like TDI, it is important to look at both the price return and the total return. The price return tells you how the share price moved, while the total return shows the full picture including cash distributions. Also, remember that a distribution yield tells you how much cash was paid out, but it does not guarantee the share price will stay the same.
