BNY Mellon Ultra Short Income ETF (BKUI) charges an expense ratio of 0.13%. This is the annual fee deducted from fund assets to cover management and operations. ### What is BKUI's dividend yield? BKUI's trailing-twelve-month yield is 4.00%, calculated from the sum of dividends over the past year divided by the current price. ### What is the duration of BKUI? Effective duration measures BKUI's sensitivity to interest-rate changes: a duration of 6 means a 1% rate move shifts NAV by roughly 6% in the opposite direction. BKUI's current duration is published on the fund's factsheet on the issuer's website. ### What is the credit quality of BKUI? BKUI'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 BKUI? Yield to maturity (YTM) is the total return you'd earn from BKUI if every bond in the portfolio is held to maturity at the current price. BKUI'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 BKUI pay a dividend?

On a $10,000 investment compounding at 7% gross return, a 0.13% expense ratio quietly compounds against your balance every year. The Fee Compounding Forecast card above projects the dollar drag for any holding period and assumption you pick.

The expense ratio is deducted in tiny daily slices from BKUI's net asset value (NAV). You never see a bill. The price quoted on every exchange is already net of fees. There's no "fee day" to avoid; the cost is continuous and built into the trading price. ### Why does BKUI cost more than a fund like VOO? BKUI is a leveraged fund (current expense ratio 0.13%). Daily-reset leverage products carry swap and financing costs that don't exist on a plain-vanilla equity ETF. The Cost Verdict card compares against the leveraged/inverse cohort where these costs are the norm. ### Are there cheaper alternatives to BKUI?
