The fund seeks to track the performance of a market-weighted Treasury index with an ultra-short-term dollar-weighted average maturity. The fund employs an indexing investment approach designed to track the Bloomberg Short Treasury Index (the Index). The Index includes fixed income securities issued by the U.S. Treasury (not including inflation-protected bonds, floating rate securities and certain other security types), that have maturities up to 12 months. The fund invests by sampling the Index, meaning that it holds a range of securities that, in the aggregate, approximates the full Index in terms of key risk factors and other characteristics. Under normal circumstances, the fund will generally invest all, but at least 80% of its assets in the securities comprising the Index and in securities that the advisor determines have economic characteristics that are substantially identical to the economic characteristics of the securities that comprise the Index. The fund seeks to maintain a dollar-weighted average maturity consistent with that of the Index, which, under normal circumstances, is expected to be between 1 and 12 months.

“Finally a free dividend calculator that doesn't make me sign up or connect my brokerage. Entered SCHD and got the full DRIP projection in seconds. Bookmarked immediately.”
“I've been trying to figure out how much dividend income I'd need to retire. This tool showed me exactly — $400K in JEPI at 7% yield gives me $2,333/month. No calculator did that this clearly before.”
“Really solid passive income calculator. Covers everything: DRIP compounding, Roth IRA tax savings, DCA contributions. The year-by-year breakdown is what I was missing from other tools.”
“As someone planning retirement in 5 years, this dividend yield calculator showed me I need about 12% more in dividend stocks to hit my income target. Incredibly useful and completely free.”
“The Congress trades tracker is genius. Saw that several senators were buying O (Realty Income) and immediately ran it through the DRIP calculator. Bought 50 shares the next day.”
