TFLR: Yield Too Low For Credit Quality
T Rowe Price Floating Rate ETF (TFLR) offers variable income from below-investment-grade floating-rate loans, with a current TTM yield of 6.95%. TFLR's yield appears insufficient given its low credit quality and potential for reduced income as Fed rate cuts loom. Despite resilience and 29.5% total returns since 2023 inception, TFLR faces risks from untested credit quality and refinancing cycles.
