FLOT: An Investment Grade ETF Outperforming In 2026 (Rating Upgrade)

iShares Floating Rate Bond ETF stands out in 2026, outperforming other investment grade fixed income due to its floating rate structure. FLOT offers near-zero duration, high credit quality (71% AA/A), and a low default risk with a 1.85-year weighted average maturity. With SOFR projected to rise by 70 bps, FLOT's yield could approach 5%, making it attractive in a persistent inflation and rising rates scenario.
