"The HYSD fund employs an active management strategy designed to deliver a high level of current income by investing in high-yield debt. Its portfolio management is guided by proprietary in-house credit research and a distinctive rating system, coupled with a tactical approach.

HYSD aims for a dollar-weighted average effective maturity not exceeding five years, and a duration of three years or less." ### What is the expense ratio of HYSD?

This is the annual fee deducted from fund assets to cover management and operations. ### What is HYSD's dividend yield? HYSD's trailing-twelve-month yield is 6.04%, calculated from the sum of dividends over the past year divided by the current price. ### What is the duration of HYSD? Effective duration measures HYSD's sensitivity to interest-rate changes: a duration of 6 means a 1% rate move shifts NAV by roughly 6% in the opposite direction. HYSD's current duration is published on the fund's factsheet on the issuer's website. ### What is the credit quality of HYSD? HYSD'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 HYSD? Yield to maturity (YTM) is the total return you'd earn from HYSD if every bond in the portfolio is held to maturity at the current price. HYSD'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 HYSD pay a dividend?

On a $10,000 investment compounding at 7% gross return, a 0.44% 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 HYSD charge its expense ratio? The expense ratio is deducted in tiny daily slices from HYSD'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 HYSD cost more than a fund like VOO? HYSD is actively managed (current expense ratio 0.44%). Active funds charge more than passive index trackers in exchange for the manager's discretion to over- or under-weight positions. The Cost Verdict card above tells you whether HYSD's fee is competitive for the active-management cohort. ### Are there cheaper alternatives to HYSD?
