15Yield To Maturity: The total anticipated return on a bond if it is held until it matures. Weighted Average Duration: A calculation of the weighted average of the durations of fixed income instruments held in a portfolio. Effective Duration: Effective duration is a duration calculation for bonds with embedded options. This measure of duration considers that expected c ash flows will fluctuate as interest rates change and is, therefore, a measure of risk. Default Rate: The default rate is the percentage of all outstanding loans that a lender has written off as unpaid after a prolonged period of missed payments. Investment Grade: The term ‘investment grade’ r efers to the quality of a company's credit. To be considered an investment grade issue, the company must be rated at 'BBB' or higher by Standard and Poor's or Moody's. Anything below this 'BBB' rating is considered non -investment grade or high yield. High Yield :The term ‘high yield’ r efers to the quality of a company's credit. To be considered a high yield issue, the company must be rated lower than ‘BBB’ b y Standard and Poor's or Moody's. Anything 'BBB’ or above is considered investment grade. CPI Inflation: The Consumer Price Index (CPI) is a measure that examines the weighted average of prices of a basket of consumer goods and servi ces, such as transportation, food, and medical care. It is calculated by taking price changes for each item in the predetermined basket of goods and averaging them. Interest Coverage Ratio: A debt and profitability ratio used to determine how easily a company can pay interest on its outstanding debt. The interest co verage ratio may be calculated by dividing a company’s earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) by its interest expense during a given per iod. Real Yield: The return one can expect to receive on a bond investment accounting for inflation. This is calculated by subtracting the inf lation rate from the nominal yield on a bond. Yield to Maturity: The return an investor can expect to receive over the lifetime of a bond. EBITDA: Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization. Standard Deviation: The standard deviation is a measure of the amount of dispersion of variation or dispersion of a set of va lues. A low standard deviation indicates that the values tend to be close to the mean of the set, while a higher standard deviation indicates that the values are spread out over a broader range. 30-Day SEC Yield: A standard yield calculation developed by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) that allows for fairer comparisons of bond funds. It is based on the most recent 30 -day period covered by the fund's filings with the SEC. 12-Month Distribution Rate: The distribution rate an investor would have received if they had held the fund over the last twelve months, assuming the mos t recent NAV. The 12 -Month Distribution Rate is calculated by summing any income, capital gains and return of capital distributions over the past twelve months and dividi ng by the sum of the most recent NAV and any capital gain distributions made over the same period. Gross Annual New Issuance: The change in the amount of debt outstanding in the market, which can change with the issuance of new debt and the maturation of debt contracts in the market. Spread: The difference between the yield of a bond with credit risk and the applicable risk -free rate.Term Definitions
