Securities may be payable in both US and foreign currencies. The fund can also invest in equity securities, preferred stock, convertible securities or equity equivalents via derivatives. The selection process uses a sector rotation approach based on a model that includes both fundamental and quantitative inputs.

ABND's trailing-twelve-month yield is 5.41%, calculated from the sum of dividends over the past year divided by the current price. ### What is the duration of ABND? Effective duration measures ABND's sensitivity to interest-rate changes: a duration of 6 means a 1% rate move shifts NAV by roughly 6% in the opposite direction. ABND's current duration is published on the fund's factsheet on the issuer's website. ### What is the credit quality of ABND? ABND's credit quality breakdown (the share of holdings rated AAA through CCC and below) is published on the fund's factsheet. Higher-quality (investment-grade) funds yield less but carry less default risk than high-yield / junk bond funds. ### What is the yield to maturity of ABND? Yield to maturity (YTM) is the total return you'd earn from ABND if every bond in the portfolio is held to maturity at the current price. ABND's YTM is published on the fund's factsheet on the issuer's website. It differs from the trailing-12-month yield because YTM reflects current bond prices rather than historical income paid. ### Does ABND pay a dividend?

There's no "fee day" to avoid; the cost is continuous and built into the trading price. ### Why does ABND cost more than a fund like VOO? ABND is actively managed (current expense ratio 0.32%). Active funds charge more than passive index trackers in exchange for the manager's discretion to over- or under-weight positions.
