The Weitz Core Plus Bond ETF (WCPB) is an actively managed fund primarily focused on generating a steady stream of income and safeguarding its principal investment. A secondary goal for this exchange-traded fund is to achieve long-term growth in capital.

Up to twenty-five percent of its assets may be allocated to higher-yielding, higher-risk debt. Additionally, the fund may occasionally employ derivative instruments for purposes of risk management or to enhance its overall investment strategy. ### What is the expense ratio of WCPB?

WCPB's trailing-twelve-month yield is 4.72%, calculated from the sum of dividends over the past year divided by the current price. ### What is the duration of WCPB? Effective duration measures WCPB's sensitivity to interest-rate changes: a duration of 6 means a 1% rate move shifts NAV by roughly 6% in the opposite direction. WCPB's current duration is published on the fund's factsheet on the issuer's website. ### What is the credit quality of WCPB? WCPB'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 WCPB? Yield to maturity (YTM) is the total return you'd earn from WCPB if every bond in the portfolio is held to maturity at the current price. WCPB'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 WCPB pay a dividend?

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 WCPB charge its expense ratio? The expense ratio is deducted in tiny daily slices from WCPB'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 WCPB cost more than a fund like VOO? WCPB is actively managed (current expense ratio 0.45%). Active funds charge more than passive index trackers in exchange for the manager's discretion to over- or under-weight positions.
