Columbia Diversified Fixed Income Allocation ETF

Frequently Asked Questions About DIAL

What does DIAL invest in?

The fund is mandated to invest a minimum of 80% of its capital in either the securities composing its benchmark index or in other investments that its investment adviser determines possess equivalent economic attributes. This underlying index utilizes a systematic, multi-sector "strategic beta" methodology to evaluate the performance of the debt market. It accomplishes this by including six different segments of the fixed-income market, with each segment assessed for its specific yield, quality, and liquidity.

What is the expense ratio of DIAL?

Columbia Diversified Fixed Income Allocation ETF (DIAL) charges an expense ratio of 0.29%. This is the annual fee deducted from fund assets to cover management and operations.

What is DIAL's dividend yield?

DIAL's trailing-twelve-month yield is 5.51%, calculated from the sum of dividends over the past year divided by the current price.

What is the duration of DIAL?

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

What is the credit quality of DIAL?

DIAL'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 DIAL?

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