Allspring Exchange-Traded Funds Trust - Allspring Broad Market Core Bond ETF (AFIX) charges an expense ratio of 0.20%.

AFIX's trailing-twelve-month yield is 5.03%, calculated from the sum of dividends over the past year divided by the current price. ### What is the duration of AFIX? Effective duration measures AFIX's sensitivity to interest-rate changes: a duration of 6 means a 1% rate move shifts NAV by roughly 6% in the opposite direction. AFIX's current duration is published on the fund's factsheet on the issuer's website. ### What is the credit quality of AFIX? AFIX'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 AFIX? Yield to maturity (YTM) is the total return you'd earn from AFIX if every bond in the portfolio is held to maturity at the current price. AFIX'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 AFIX pay a dividend?

The Fee Compounding Forecast card above projects the dollar drag for any holding period and assumption you pick.

There's no "fee day" to avoid; the cost is continuous and built into the trading price. ### Why does AFIX cost more than a fund like VOO? AFIX is actively managed (current expense ratio 0.20%). Active funds charge more than passive index trackers in exchange for the manager's discretion to over- or under-weight positions.
