Cost: expense ratio

1.30% a year

On $10,000 invested that is about $130 a year in fund costs, taken out of the fund's assets. The prospectus shows 1.40% before fee waivers.

Source: the fund's prospectus, as filed with the SEC on 24 Feb 2026 (risk/return summary data). Brokerage commissions and the bid-ask spread are separate costs.

Option-income funds can pay part of a distribution as a return of capital, which lowers the cost basis rather than being income. The issuer's tax documents say how much; the yield alone does not show it.
