Isn’t that ignoring dividend payouts? This says it’s like -0.2% over the last 12 months including payouts vs -1.6%. No idea how accurate this is but it’s an important correction to just the price returns if you’re talking about holding the shares.

Yes, but the yield on the payouts is only around 2.5% with this fund so the price change has a massive effect on your overall return.
Yes that is ignoring dividend payouts, which for a bond (edit: bond fund) is a substantial part of the return.
