About FLOT

The iShares Floating Rate Bond ETF (FLOT) provides exposure to investment-grade, dollar-denominated floating rate debt, offering a low-risk fixed income investment option with minimal interest rate risk. The fund's floating rate notes are tied to benchmark rates, such as LIBOR, allowing coupon payments to fluctuate with prevailing market interest rates. This ETF can be used as a tactical allocation in rising interest rate environments or to round out fixed income exposure in a long-term portfolio, providing credit risk exposure while minimizing interest rate risks.
