FLOT tracks an index of investment-grade floating rate corporate bonds with maturities of 0-5 years. These bonds pay a variable coupon rate, the majority of which vary with the 3-month LIBOR. The fund may hold these variable rate bonds from large-, mid-, or small-cap corporations that are US registered, or denominated in US dollars, as well as government and supranational entities. Bank issues typically dominate the basket. FLOT takes a very straightforward and broad approach to its holdings, so expect market-like exposure overall.
