Breakdowns

Sums of reported weights over every position in the report. Totals can differ from 100% because of derivatives, borrowing and cash.

12-month yield = distributions per unit with an ex-date in the last 12 months ($0.1460) ÷ latest price ($8.77) × 100 = 1.66%. It looks back, so it is not a forecast; special distributions in the window are included.

Why a distribution yield is not the fund's return: yield vs total return
