How the yield is calculated
Trailing yield 0.58%: the 4 payments of the last twelve months ($0.40) divided by today's price. Forward yield 0.73%: 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.
