JGH's current duration is published on the fund's factsheet on the issuer's website. ### What is the credit quality of JGH? JGH'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 JGH? Yield to maturity (YTM) is the total return you'd earn from JGH if every bond in the portfolio is held to maturity at the current price.

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 JGH charge its expense ratio? The expense ratio is deducted in tiny daily slices from JGH'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 JGH cost more than a fund like VOO? JGH's strategy (current expense ratio 3.37%) 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 JGH sits within its own category, which is the comparison that actually matters. ### Are there cheaper alternatives to JGH?

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.
