Description: FLUD Franklin Liberty Ultra November 15, 2025
Franklin Liberty Ultra Short Bond ETF (FLUD) aims to keep its portfolio duration at one year or less by allocating at least 80% of net assets to U.S. dollar-denominated, investment-grade debt securities, while retaining flexibility to include foreign and emerging-market bonds.
Key metrics (as of the latest filing) show an expense ratio of 0.25%, a weighted-average credit quality of A-, and a 30-day SEC yield around 4.2%, reflecting the fund’s focus on short-duration, high-quality credit.
The fund’s performance is highly sensitive to Federal Reserve policy: a tightening cycle that pushes short-term rates higher typically boosts the ETF’s yield but can compress price appreciation, whereas a easing cycle may lower yields and improve total return.
Investors looking for a low-volatility, cash-like exposure to the short-end of the investment-grade bond market may find FLUD useful, and a deeper dive on ValueRay can help assess how its risk-adjusted returns compare to peers.
