Overview
The iShares Treasury Floating Rate Bond ETF is a US Government bond fund issued by iShares with $6.67 billion in assets under management. It holds a C grade (54.6/100) and ranks 10th out of 22 peers in its category, placing it in the middle of the pack. The fund’s 0.15% expense ratio is more than double the category median of 0.07%, indicating higher costs for investors. Despite this, it offers a 3.78% dividend yield, which is slightly below the category median of 3.84%. The fund’s holdings are concentrated in United States Treasury securities, with the largest single position accounting for 14.4% of assets.
The ETF has delivered a 1-year return of 3.96%, significantly outperforming the category median of -0.42%. Short-term momentum is evident, with returns accelerating from +0.02% over one day to +2.59% year-to-date. However, the longer-term 3-year return of 14.34% suggests a slower annualized pace compared to recent gains. The price of $50.54 sits at 53.6% of its 52-week range, indicating it is near the midpoint of its recent trading history. The rating has remained unchanged at grade C over the last 35 tracked days, reflecting stability in its assessment. Historical data is available for only 3.0 years, limiting the depth of long-term performance analysis.
Risk metrics indicate a very low volatility profile, with an annualized standard deviation of just 0.28%. The beta of -0.02 suggests the fund’s movements are largely uncorrelated with broader market fluctuations. A Sharpe ratio of -3.67 implies that the risk-adjusted returns have been negative relative to the risk-free rate over the measured period. The maximum drawdown was minimal at -0.04%, highlighting the stability of the fund’s price action. Liquidity is supported by an average daily volume of 1,438,745 shares, facilitating easy entry and exit for investors.

TFLO Liquidity, Domicile & Tax Treatment
Liquidity: Quoted bid/ask spread is — and average daily volume is 1.4M/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 $6.67B 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.
