iShares Floating Rate Bond ETF (FLOT $50.98)
Q: Hello 5i,
In the interest of understanding fully what i am buying, could you tell me how floating rate bond funds manage to float? When i look at the informarion for FLOT, for instance, i notice that the maturity dates vary from one month to five years, if i remember correctly. An etf like xsb doesn't seem to be a lot different. Is it because Floating rates are heavily weighted to the very short term, even though they do as well go out to five years?
Thanks for all the great work

Q: We would like to set up a "joint trading account" with approx. $1000 for our two nephews ages 4 and 2 that they can cash out when they are 18. I want to buy shares in New Flyer for half of the initial amount in each account as their dad works for them. Can you recommend a long term ETF for each account to cover the rest.
Thanks as always!

Also, are you aware of any income-focused ETFs where the distribution is mostly (65%+, say) eligible dividend?
