The fund primarily aims to achieve its investment goals by allocating at least 80% of its total capital to investment-grade, U.S. dollar-denominated short-term debt instruments. This capital encompasses both the fund's net assets and any borrowed funds used for investment purposes. The debt investments it targets can carry fixed, variable, or floating interest rates. As a fundamental part of its investment approach, the fund may acquire various securities, including corporate bonds, asset-backed securities, and different forms of mortgage-backed and mortgage-related instruments. It also invests in high-quality money market tools, such as commercial paper and certificates of deposit. ### What is the expense ratio of JPST? JPMorgan Ultra-Short Income ETF (JPST) charges an expense ratio of 0.18%. This is the annual fee deducted from fund assets to cover management and operations. ### What is JPST's dividend yield? JPST's trailing-twelve-month yield is 4.14%, calculated from the sum of dividends over the past year divided by the current price. ### What is the duration of JPST? Effective duration measures JPST's sensitivity to interest-rate changes: a duration of 6 means a 1% rate move shifts NAV by roughly 6% in the opposite direction. JPST's current duration is published on the fund's factsheet on the issuer's website. ### What is the credit quality of JPST? JPST'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 JPST? Yield to maturity (YTM) is the total return you'd earn from JPST if every bond in the portfolio is held to maturity at the current price. JPST'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 JPST pay a dividend? Yes, JPMorgan Ultra-Short Income ETF (JPST) distributes dividends to shareholders. The trailing-twelve-month yield is 4.14%. Full dividend history is on this page. ### How often does JPST pay dividends? JPMorgan Ultra-Short Income ETF pays dividends Monthly. Each ex-dividend date, record date, and payment date is listed in the dividend history table on this page. ### When is JPST's next ex-dividend date? The most recently announced ex-dividend date for JPST was 2026-10-01. The next ex-date typically follows Monthly; once announced it appears at the top of the dividend history table on this page. ### How much will JPST's expense ratio cost me over 30 years? 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 JPST charge its expense ratio? The expense ratio is deducted in tiny daily slices from JPST'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 JPST cost more than a fund like VOO? JPST is actively managed (current expense ratio 0.18%). 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 JPST's fee is competitive for the active-management cohort. ### Are there cheaper alternatives to JPST? The Lower-Fee Alternatives card above lists ETFs following the same investment strategy as JPST (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/jpst - Distribution history: https://www.dividenddata.com/funds/jpst/dividend - Holdings & diversification: https://www.dividenddata.com/funds/jpst/diversification - Fees & cheaper alternatives: https://www.dividenddata.com/funds/jpst/expenses - Peer comparison: https://www.dividenddata.com/funds/jpst/peers Data sourced from primary filings and market data providers; see https://www.dividenddata.com/methodology.
