What the numbers show
The current price of one share is $169.98. An estimated price from roughly one year ago was about $153.12.
When looking at how this ETF has performed, it is important to understand two different numbers: price return and total return. Price return only shows how much the share price itself changed. Total return includes those price changes plus any cash distributions (dividends) paid to investors.
• Year-to-Date (YTD): The price return is 9.58%, while the total return is 10.45%.
• One Year: The price return was 11.01%, and the total return was 12.73%.
• Three Years: The price return was 66.42%, and the total return was 73.48%.
For example, if you had $10,000 in this ETF roughly one year ago (based on the estimated starting price), your investment would have grown by the 11.01% one-year price return.
Income and distribution explanation
This ETF provides some cash income through distributions. The distribution yield is 1.48%, which describes the cash paid out relative to the ETF's price. Over the last year, the trailing distributions were $2.51 per share. These payments usually happen every three months (quarterly).

"NAV erosion" is a term used when the actual value of the assets inside an ETF drops significantly over time. For this ETF, the erosion-risk score is 100, and the label states "No price erosion detected." There is no severe erosion-risk flag for this fund.
