This is the annual fee deducted from fund assets to cover management and operations. ### What is ELD's dividend yield? ELD's trailing-twelve-month yield is 6.18%, calculated from the sum of dividends over the past year divided by the current price. ### What is the duration of ELD? Effective duration measures ELD's sensitivity to interest-rate changes: a duration of 6 means a 1% rate move shifts NAV by roughly 6% in the opposite direction. ELD's current duration is published on the fund's factsheet on the issuer's website. ### What is the credit quality of ELD? ELD'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 ELD? Yield to maturity (YTM) is the total return you'd earn from ELD if every bond in the portfolio is held to maturity at the current price. ELD'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 ELD pay a dividend?

On a $10,000 investment compounding at 7% gross return, a 0.55% 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 ELD charge its expense ratio? The expense ratio is deducted in tiny daily slices from ELD'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 ELD cost more than a fund like VOO? ELD's strategy (current expense ratio 0.55%) 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 ELD sits within its own category, which is the comparison that actually matters. ### Are there cheaper alternatives to ELD? The Lower-Fee Alternatives card above lists ETFs following the same investment strategy as ELD (0.55%) 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.
