- closeYest: the NAV of a mutual fund.
- date: date at which NAV (net asset value) was reported.
- returnytd: year-to-date return total.
- netassets: The day-end net assets of the mutual fund. Net-asset figures are useful in gauging a fund's size, agility, and popularity. They help determine whether a small company fund, for example, can remain in its investment-objective category if its asset base reaches an ungainly size.
- change: change in NAV value between the most recent reported NAV, and the NAV prior to that.
- changepct: the % change in the NAV.
- yieldpct: Also known as the distribution yield, Morningstar computes this End Yield figure by summing the trailing 12-month's income distributions and dividing the sum by the last month's ending NAV, plus capital gains distributed over the same time period. Income refers only to interest payments from fixed-income securities and dividend payments from common stocks.
- returnday: one-day total return.
- return1: one-week total return.
- return4: four-week total return.

- incomedividenddate: the date the above occurred.

Fund expenses are reflected in the fund's NAV. Sales charges are not included in the expense ratio.
