ICSH: A Decent Alternative To FLOT
The iShares Ultra Short-Term Bond Active ETF offers a lower expense ratio and similar effect as the iShares Floating Rate Bond ETF. Both ETFs are well-positioned in the current rate environment, with low duration bets rolling over efficiently into higher incoming rates according to the yield curve over medium term horizons. We continue to emphasize that the market is possibly still taking for granted just how valuable free trade has been, and how much prosperity might be lost to mercantilism.

The JPMorgan Ultra-Short Income ETF holds high-quality bonds and commercial paper and is marketed as a cash replacement tool. JPST has higher duration and credit risk than ICSH. However, investors are compensated for the higher risk. JPST continues to be a solid cash replacement tool, provided the Fed is not forced to restart rate hikes due to a rebound in inflation.
