Average yearly change in the calendar-year payout
| 1 year | 3 years | 5 years | 10 years |

How the yield is calculated
Trailing yield 0.27%: the 3 payments of the last twelve months ($0.57) divided by today's price. Forward yield 0.47%: the latest payment times 4, 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.
