What is the yield to maturity of a overnight fund?

The yearly return the fund's bonds would earn if each were held to maturity at today's prices and paid in full. Take away the expense ratio for a rough guide to what an investor keeps if interest rates stay where they are. It is not a promised return: rates change, and so do the bonds the fund holds.

What does modified duration tell me?

How much the NAV moves when interest rates move. A fund with a modified duration of 4 years would fall about 4% if rates rose by 1%, and gain about 4% if they fell by 1%. Overnight and liquid funds sit near zero; gilt and long duration funds can be 7 to 10.

How is credit quality grouped?

From the ratings in each fund's latest portfolio: Sovereign (government securities and T-bills), AAA and A1+ (the highest long and short-term ratings), AA (including short-term A1), A and below, and unrated. What the ratings do not cover, such as cash and REITs, is shown as Cash and other.

How current are these figures?

They come from each fund's portfolio disclosure as received from our data provider, and the page names the month. Yield, duration and ratings only change when a fund house publishes a new portfolio, so they are not daily figures. When a newer disclosure should already be out and is not yet in our data, the page says so.

Is a higher yield better?

A higher yield is usually paid for with lower-rated bonds or longer duration. Read it beside the Below AAA share and the duration: two funds with the same yield can carry very different risks.
