Overview
Description
The iShares Treasury Floating Rate Bond ETF is an investment vehicle designed to provide exposure to US Treasury bonds that have floating interest rates. Unlike fixed-rate bonds, the interest payments for these bonds adjust based on changes in market interest rates, typically linked to the movements of benchmark rates such as the federal funds rate. The primary purpose of this ETF is to offer investors a way to manage interest rate risk while seeking to preserve capital. It plays a crucial role in providing liquidity and flexibility within a diversified bond portfolio. Investors can benefit from the ETF's focus on low credit risk, given the strong backing of the US government, while potentially capitalizing on rising rate environments. This asset is particularly significant for those looking to hedge against interest rate volatility, offering a more dynamic income stream compared to traditional bonds. It is widely utilized by institutional and retail investors aiming for steady income with protection against inflating interest rates in the financial markets.
