(FLOT) iShares Floating Rate Bond - Ratings and Ratios
Floating-Rate, Corporate, Investment-Grade, Dollar-Denominated
Description: FLOT iShares Floating Rate Bond November 04, 2025
The iShares Floating Rate Bond ETF (ticker FLOT) is an ultra-short-duration ETF that aims to track its underlying index by allocating at least 80 % of assets to the index’s component securities and at least 90 % to fixed-income securities of the types represented in the index, according to BlackRock’s fund-allocation (BFA) methodology.
Key metrics (as of the latest public data) include an expense ratio of 0.20 %, an average effective duration of roughly 0.5 years, and a weighted-average credit quality of “investment-grade” (≈ A-2). The fund’s performance is highly sensitive to short-term interest-rate movements, making the Federal Reserve’s policy rate and the spread between LIBOR/SOFR and Treasury yields primary drivers of returns. Additionally, the fund’s assets under management (≈ $2 billion) provide liquidity but also expose it to sector concentration risk, as the majority of holdings are in floating-rate bank loans and senior secured corporate debt.
