RPSIX's trailing-twelve-month yield is 5.75%, calculated from the sum of dividends over the past year divided by the current price. ### What is the duration of RPSIX? Effective duration measures RPSIX's sensitivity to interest-rate changes: a duration of 6 means a 1% rate move shifts NAV by roughly 6% in the opposite direction. RPSIX's current duration is published on the fund's factsheet on the issuer's website. ### What is the credit quality of RPSIX? RPSIX'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 RPSIX? Yield to maturity (YTM) is the total return you'd earn from RPSIX if every bond in the portfolio is held to maturity at the current price. RPSIX'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 RPSIX pay a dividend? Yes, T.

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 RPSIX charge its expense ratio? The expense ratio is deducted in tiny daily slices from RPSIX'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 RPSIX cost more than a fund like VOO? RPSIX is actively managed (current expense ratio 0.61%). Active funds charge more than passive index trackers in exchange for the manager's discretion to over- or under-weight positions.
