Cost: expense ratio

0.60% a year

On $10,000 invested that is about $60 a year in fund costs, taken out of the fund's assets.

Source: the fund's prospectus, as filed with the SEC on 26 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.
