The Pioneer Floating Rate Fund has delivered a 31.29% total return over the past three years, outperforming major domestic bond indices due to rising interest rates.

The fund's heavy investment in floating-rate securities makes it vulnerable to declining income as interest rates fall, weakening its investment case.

The Pioneer Floating Rate Fund has outperformed bond indices recently due to its investment in floating-rate securities, benefiting from the Federal Reserve's monetary tightening from 2022 to mid-2024.

Despite its attractive 11.20% yield, the fund's income will likely decline, forcing a distribution cut as the Federal Reserve continues reducing rates.
