How the yield is calculated
Trailing yield 7.99%: the 30 payments of the last twelve months ($3.26) divided by today's price. Forward yield 11.35%: the latest payment times 52, 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.
