Frequently Asked Questions About CGSD

What does CGSD invest in?

CGSD is an actively managed ETF that invests in a broad portfolio of bonds, other debt securities, and money market instruments, rated as investment grade. The fund aims to have an average portfolio duration of less than two years but may reach up to three years. CGSD primarily invests in USD-denominated debt issued by government and corporate issuers, MBS, and ABS. It may also allocate assets outside its usual investment segment, such as non-US corporate debt securities and inflation-linked bonds issued by US and non-US governments. The fund is managed by a team of portfolio managers that aims to select attractively priced securities it believes represent good investment opportunities. Securities may be sold if they are no longer perceived to be good investment opportunities.

What is the expense ratio of CGSD?

Capital Group Short Duration Income ETF (CGSD) charges an expense ratio of 0.25%. This is the annual fee deducted from fund assets to cover management and operations.

What is CGSD's dividend yield?

CGSD's trailing-twelve-month yield is 4.47%, calculated from the sum of dividends over the past year divided by the current price.

What is the duration of CGSD?

Effective duration measures CGSD's sensitivity to interest-rate changes — a duration of 6 means a 1% rate move shifts NAV by roughly 6% in the opposite direction. CGSD's current duration is published on the fund's factsheet on the issuer's website.

What is the credit quality of CGSD?

CGSD'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 CGSD?

Yield to maturity (YTM) is the total return you'd earn from CGSD if every bond in the portfolio is held to maturity at the current price. CGSD'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.
