Under normal circumstances, the fund invests at least 80% of its assets in municipal securities, the income from which is exempt from federal income tax. For purposes of this policy, "Assets" means net assets, plus the amount of borrowings for investment purposes. Up to 100% of the fund's assets may be invested in short-term municipal instruments such as variable rate demand notes, short-term municipal notes and tax-exempt commercial paper. ### What is the expense ratio of JMST? JPMorgan Ultra-Short Municipal Income ETF (JMST) charges an expense ratio of 0.18%. This is the annual fee deducted from fund assets to cover management and operations. ### What is JMST's dividend yield? JMST's trailing-twelve-month yield is 2.55%, calculated from the sum of dividends over the past year divided by the current price. ### What is the duration of JMST? Effective duration measures JMST's sensitivity to interest-rate changes: a duration of 6 means a 1% rate move shifts NAV by roughly 6% in the opposite direction. JMST's current duration is published on the fund's factsheet on the issuer's website. ### What is the credit quality of JMST? JMST'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 JMST? Yield to maturity (YTM) is the total return you'd earn from JMST if every bond in the portfolio is held to maturity at the current price. JMST'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 JMST pay a dividend?

On a $10,000 investment compounding at 7% gross return, a 0.18% 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 JMST charge its expense ratio? The expense ratio is deducted in tiny daily slices from JMST'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 JMST cost more than a fund like VOO? JMST is a leveraged fund (current expense ratio 0.18%). Daily-reset leverage products carry swap and financing costs that don't exist on a plain-vanilla equity ETF. The Cost Verdict card compares against the leveraged/inverse cohort where these costs are the norm. ### Are there cheaper alternatives to JMST? The Lower-Fee Alternatives card above lists ETFs following the same investment strategy as JMST (0.18%) 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/jmst - Distribution history: https://www.dividenddata.com/funds/jmst/dividend - Holdings & diversification: https://www.dividenddata.com/funds/jmst/diversification - Fees & cheaper alternatives: https://www.dividenddata.com/funds/jmst/expenses - Peer comparison: https://www.dividenddata.com/funds/jmst/peers Data sourced from primary filings and market data providers; see https://www.dividenddata.com/methodology.
