How the yield is calculated
Trailing yield 6.47%: the 11 payments of the last twelve months ($1.25) divided by today's price. Forward yield 7.08%: the latest payment times 12, divided by the same price. Fund sites often quote a 30-day SEC yield instead, which uses the holdings' income in the last month, so it can differ from both.
