Why Floating Rate ETFs Are Bleeding Assets

FYI: Many investors are again growing nervous that the Federal Reserve will begin to raise rates by the end of this year. Rising 10-year Treasury yields this year say it all: They’ve rallied upward of 13 percent to 2.36 percent, and 30-year mortgage rates have pierced the 4 percent barrier.

And yet investors have been yanking assets from floating rate bond ETFs—the very securities that are supposed to protect fixed-income investors from the dangers a rising-rate environment can pose.
