How the yield is calculated
Trailing yield 7.19%: the 12 payments of the last twelve months ($1.16) divided by today's price. Forward yield 5.73%: 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.
