BlackRock Floating Rate Loan ETF

BRLN

Market cap $53.2M

Fixed income investors continue to grapple with an uncertain macro environment, dominated by higher-for-longer interest rates and a new-look U.S. Federal Reserve, in which rate hikes may be forthcoming. Rather than make a directional bet on interest rates to combat duration risk, consider floating-rate ETFs, a compelling option.

The Federal Reserve continues to hold fast to its highly data-driven, wait-and-see approach on rate policy. Last week's FOMC meeting further bolstered the market's belief in a lone rate-cut scenario, and senior loan ETFs have gained traction as elevated rate expectations spill over into the second half of the year.
