Issued by iShares, the fund has accumulated assets under management of $6.59 billion and trades at a price of $50.64. It holds an overall rank of #340 out of 458 tracked ETFs across all categories and has received an ETFValuer grade of C with a score of 54.0 out of 100. The fund charges an expense ratio of 0.15% while offering a dividend yield of 3.89%. The substantial asset size relative to the category count suggests significant investor adoption for this specific floating rate strategy. These metrics collectively define the fund's current standing and cost structure for potential investors.
Over the last day, the fund recorded a return of 0.00%, followed by a 1-week gain of +0.08% and a 1-month increase of +0.33%. The 3-month return accelerated to +0.99%, while the 6-month period showed further growth at +1.90%. Year-to-date performance stands at +2.14%, and the 1-year return reached +3.94%. Extending the timeline to three years, the fund has generated a cumulative return of +14.56%. This progression indicates a consistent upward trajectory in returns as the investment horizon extends from daily fluctuations to multi-year periods.
The fund carries a volatility label of Very Low and exhibits a beta of -0.02, suggesting minimal correlation with broader market movements. A Sharpe ratio of -3.69 indicates that the risk-adjusted returns have been negative relative to the risk-free rate over the measured period. Despite the negative Sharpe ratio, the maximum drawdown has been limited to -0.04%, reflecting extreme capital preservation during market declines. The combination of a negative beta and very low volatility implies the fund behaves independently of general market trends. However, the negative Sharpe ratio highlights that the low volatility has not translated into positive risk-adjusted performance metrics during the analyzed timeframe.

Based on the fund's current trailing yield, which varies with price and distributions — treat it as an estimate, not a guarantee. Yields are not adjusted for tax.
TFLO Liquidity, Domicile & Tax Treatment
Liquidity: Quoted bid/ask spread is — and average daily volume is 1.5M/day. Tighter spreads and higher volume mean lower round-trip trading costs; this is a live-market snapshot and can widen during volatile sessions. AUM of $6.59B provides ample scale, supporting tight spreads and issuer commitment to keep the fund open.
Domicile & tax treatment: TFLO is a US-domiciled, SEC-registered ('40 Act) exchange-traded fund. Dividends and capital gains distributions are reported to US investors on Form 1099-DIV, and the fund is not subject to the PFIC reporting or UCITS-specific rules that apply to Irish- or Luxembourg-domiciled funds. Non-US investors should note that US-domiciled ETFs are generally subject to 30% US withholding tax on dividends (unless reduced by treaty) and to US estate tax exposure on the position — Irish-domiciled UCITS ETFs tracking the same index often avoid both, which is why non-US residents frequently prefer the UCITS equivalent where one exists. This is general information, not tax advice — consult a tax professional for your situation.
