FLTR: High-Quality Floating Rate ETF, Competitive Dividends, Reduced Risk And Volatility
FLTR invests in floating rate treasury notes, with broadly similar characteristics to t-bills, but trading at a slight spread to these. Risk and volatility are both generally extremely low, dividend yields and returns competitive. Recent cuts are a significant, obvious negative, but fundamentals remain good.
Floaters May Be Fantastic Alternative to T-Bills
Floating rate notes, colloquially known as floaters, are viewed as a prime fixed income destination when Treasury yields are rising. This is because these bonds are less rate-sensitive by design.
