FLOT: Still A Safe Harbour

I rate the iShares Floating Rate Bond ETF (FLOT) as a HOLD, favoring its high credit quality, low risk, and yield premium over T-bills for short-term cash parking. FLOT's assets are, in the main, FRNs issued by AAA Supranationals, or AA and A-rated commercial banks. The chances of credit losses are remote. FLOT's returns have outpaced CPI and will likely continue to do so. Its assets' credit spread are a buffer when rates rise, and a source of outperformance when rates fall.
