Raised 1 year in a row. Complete years only: 2026 is still running.
How the yield is calculated
Trailing yield 1.65%: the 4 payments of the last twelve months ($0.86) divided by today's price. Forward yield 1.75%: 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.
