DEFINITIONS AND CONCEPTS
- Assets is a measure of the Size of the ETF Fund
- Expense Ratio — keep it low to generate more return, plug two expense ratio numbers for comparison in our ETF Fee Calculator too see how it impacts your returns over the long term
- Duration is a measure of Risk for Bonds (more on Interest Rate Risk). The longer it is the more you can gain or lose from moving interest rates (for Treasuries, it will also provide a better diversification for Equities)
- Spread is a measure of Risk for Corporate Bonds (more on Credit Risk). Broadly spreaking it is the additional return (in basis points 100 bps = 1%) over US Treasuries. The higher it is the riskier the Bonds.
- Yield to Maturity — is what you can expect the ETF to generate going forward (conceptually it is the sum of Treasury Bond Yield and Spread)
- Dividend Yield — shows how much was generated over the past 12 months. It can also include (understand Capital Gains)
- YTD Return — ETF Fund price move year to date. Moves in an opposite way to changes in interest rates and spread.
