The median bid/ask spread is calculated by dividing the difference between the national best bid and national best offer (“NBBO”) for the fund by the midpoint of the NBBO as of the end of each ten second interval during each trading day of the last 30 calendar days. The median of those values is then expressed as a percentage rounded to the nearest hundredth.
A non-money market fund’s SEC yield is based on a formula mandated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) that calculates a fund’s hypothetical annualized income as a percentage of its assets. A security’s income, for the purposes of this calculation, is based on the current market yield to maturity (for bonds) or projected dividend yield (for stocks) of the fund’s holdings over a trailing 30-day period. This hypothetical income will differ (at times, significantly) from the fund’s actual experience; as a result, income distributions from the fund may be higher or lower than implied by the SEC yield.
The SEC yield for a money market fund is calculated by annualizing its daily income distributions for the previous 7 days.
