How the yield is calculated
Trailing yield 1.93%: the 2 payments of the last twelve months ($0.86) divided by today's price. Forward yield 1.62%: the latest payment times 2, 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.
