This ETF is designed to achieve a significant level of current income while carefully managing risk to the initial investment. Under typical market conditions, the portfolio will predominantly invest in high-quality corporate debt and securities issued by the U.S. government. Its broad investment scope may include various governmental debt obligations (such as those from federal, state, and local authorities, including their agencies and instrumentalities); mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities; corporate bonds; repurchase agreements; and other financial instruments exhibiting debt-like characteristics. Notably, at least 35% of its net assets will generally be dedicated to government obligations. While the fund primarily focuses on investment-grade securities, it has the flexibility to allocate up to 5% of its net assets to lower-rated, below-investment-grade instruments, often known as high-yield or "junk" bonds. ### What is the expense ratio of UITB? VictoryShares Core Intermediate Bond ETF (UITB) charges an expense ratio of 0.38%. This is the annual fee deducted from fund assets to cover management and operations. ### What is UITB's dividend yield? UITB's trailing-twelve-month yield is 4.42%, calculated from the sum of dividends over the past year divided by the current price. ### What is the duration of UITB? Effective duration measures UITB's sensitivity to interest-rate changes: a duration of 6 means a 1% rate move shifts NAV by roughly 6% in the opposite direction. UITB's current duration is published on the fund's factsheet on the issuer's website. ### What is the credit quality of UITB? UITB'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 UITB? Yield to maturity (YTM) is the total return you'd earn from UITB if every bond in the portfolio is held to maturity at the current price. UITB'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 UITB pay a dividend?

Full dividend history is on this page. ### How often does UITB pay dividends? VictoryShares Core Intermediate Bond ETF pays dividends Monthly.

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 UITB's expense ratio cost me over 30 years? On a $10,000 investment compounding at 7% gross return, a 0.38% 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 UITB charge its expense ratio? The expense ratio is deducted in tiny daily slices from UITB'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 UITB cost more than a fund like VOO? UITB's strategy (current expense ratio 0.38%) 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 UITB sits within its own category, which is the comparison that actually matters. ### Are there cheaper alternatives to UITB? The Lower-Fee Alternatives card above lists ETFs following the same investment strategy as UITB (0.38%) 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/uitb - Distribution history: https://www.dividenddata.com/funds/uitb/dividend - Holdings & diversification: https://www.dividenddata.com/funds/uitb/diversification - Fees & cheaper alternatives: https://www.dividenddata.com/funds/uitb/expenses - Peer comparison: https://www.dividenddata.com/funds/uitb/peers Data sourced from primary filings and market data providers; see https://www.dividenddata.com/methodology.
