0.08% a year, or about $8 per $10,000 invested. The cost is taken from the fund's assets, so you never see it as a separate charge.
Mostly qualified dividends, taxed at long-term capital-gains rates in a taxable U.S. account if you meet the holding period.
A concentrated quality-and-yield fund for conservative investors who accept heavy weights in a few mega-cap payers. The main risk: a handful of large holdings drive results, and energy exposure can be high. This is general information, not personal advice.
