Definitions:
The 30-day SEC Yield: is calculated with a standardized formula mandated by the SEC. The formula is based on maximum offering price per share and includes the effect of any fee waivers. Without waivers, yields would be reduced. A fund’s actual distribution rate will differ from the SEC yield and any income distributions from the fund may be higher or lower than the SEC yield.
Portfolio Yield: Weighted average dividend yield of the underlying constituents. Dividend Yield: The most recently announced gross dividend, annualized based on dividend frequency, then divided by the current market price.
ROA (Return on Assets): Indicator of how profitable a company is relative to its Total assets, in percentage. Calculated as (Trailing 12M Net Income/ Average Total Assets) x 100.
Volatility: A measure of the risk of price moves for a security calculated from the standard deviation of day to day logarithmic historical price changes. The 260-day price volatility equals the annualized standard deviation of the relative price change for the 260 most recent trading days closing price, expressed as a percentage. Commonly, the higher the volatility, the riskier the security.
