Fidelity U.S. Bond Index Fund (FXNAX)

[big bang]

Down 0.80%
Why it dropped so much today?
I compere it to iShares Core U.S. Aggregate Bond ETF (AGG), and its up today by 0.03%
Isn't that strange?

Dividend. That’s usually the answer for this kind of discrepancy. It paid a dividend.

[big bang]

That's what I thought.
But I cant find evidence for that anywhere.
Where I can see that information?

It’s now showing up on my NetBenefits app, but it took two hours after the trading day ended. Check back later and relax until then.

Yes okay. The message is showing up now:
A short-term capital gain of 0.034 per share and long-term capital gain of 0.061 per share, declared on 10/09/2020, will be posted to your account on 10/12/2020.
Thank you!

This is always the answer to this kind of question.

Thanks to Bogleheads that I don't hold the bond fund in my taxable account.
Phew...capital gains....

Similar situation with Fidelity Investment Grade Bond (FBNDX). NAV dropped 0.23 or 2.6%. It went ex-dividend on combined capital gains of 0.227 per share.

Luckily they arent exactly huge capital gains. I hold this in tax deferred and taxable and the impact will be minimal on the taxable account.

Sigh...having to pay a lot of tax on fixed income distributions would be a nice problem to have right now.

100% agree.

It's paying short-term capital gain of 0.034 per share and long-term capital gain of 0.061 per share
So that's in total of 0.095 per share
Based on todays price of $12.42 that's aprx. 805 shares
So the answer to your question is close to $76.475 per $10,000

On higher yield, sure.
But, this is capital gains distributions.
