How the yield is calculated
Trailing yield 1.07%: the 4 payments of the last twelve months ($7.43) divided by today's price. Forward yield 1.05%: 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.
