Under typical operating conditions, the fund allocates a minimum of 80% of its total investment capital (encompassing any assets acquired through borrowing) to fixed-income instruments and other debt obligations. Generally, at least 65% of these assets are concentrated in high-quality debt securities. This includes obligations issued by the U.S. government, its various agencies, and instrumentalities, corporate bonds, and securitized products such as mortgage-backed and other asset-backed securities. Upon acquisition, these particular holdings must carry one of the three highest credit ratings or, if unrated, be deemed by the fund to be of equivalent investment quality. ### What is the expense ratio of CRUX? Columbia Core Bond ETF (CRUX) charges an expense ratio of 0.32%. This is the annual fee deducted from fund assets to cover management and operations. ### What is CRUX's dividend yield? CRUX's trailing-twelve-month yield is 2.59%, calculated from the sum of dividends over the past year divided by the current price. ### What is the duration of CRUX? Effective duration measures CRUX's sensitivity to interest-rate changes: a duration of 6 means a 1% rate move shifts NAV by roughly 6% in the opposite direction. CRUX's current duration is published on the fund's factsheet on the issuer's website. ### What is the credit quality of CRUX? CRUX'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 CRUX? Yield to maturity (YTM) is the total return you'd earn from CRUX if every bond in the portfolio is held to maturity at the current price. CRUX'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 CRUX pay a dividend?

On a $10,000 investment compounding at 7% gross return, a 0.32% 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 typical result for a 1.0% expense ratio on a 30-year hold is roughly 25% of the final balance lost to fees. ### How does CRUX charge its expense ratio? The expense ratio is deducted in tiny daily slices from CRUX'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 CRUX cost more than a fund like VOO? CRUX's strategy (current expense ratio 0.32%) is different from a broad-market index tracker like VOO, so its fee belongs to a different cohort. The Cost Verdict card above shows you where CRUX sits within its own category, which is the comparison that actually matters. ### Are there cheaper alternatives to CRUX? The Lower-Fee Alternatives card above lists ETFs following the same investment strategy as CRUX (0.32%) but at a lower expense ratio. Each row shows the fee gap, the peer's AUM as a liquidity sanity-check, and a direct link to that fund's analysis page. Cheaper price doesn't automatically mean better. Verify the peer holds what you actually want. ## More on Dividend Data - Overview (HTML): https://www.dividenddata.com/funds/crux - Distribution history: https://www.dividenddata.com/funds/crux/dividend - Holdings & diversification: https://www.dividenddata.com/funds/crux/diversification - Fees & cheaper alternatives: https://www.dividenddata.com/funds/crux/expenses - Peer comparison: https://www.dividenddata.com/funds/crux/peers Data sourced from primary filings and market data providers; see https://www.dividenddata.com/methodology.
