Our read on FLRT

ETF.net Research

In short

CA bank-loan specialist parked in a high-yield crowd. FLRT buys floating-rate debt from below-investment-grade borrowers, so coupons reset with short-term rates instead of sitting fixed, and a credit sub-adviser picks the paper. Running since 2015.

Stated mandate

The fund seeks high current income by investing mainly in floating-rate loans issued by non-investment-grade companies; this exposure may also help hedge rising interest rates.

Why people hold it

  • Floating-rate coupons reset with short-term rates, which is why Pacer frames the portfolio as an income source that can also hedge rising rates rather than a long-duration bond bet.paceretfs.com
  • Real loan-market pedigree behind the wheel: Aristotle Pacific Capital, formerly Pacific Asset Management, sub-advises and assembles a few hundred positions credit by credit.paceretfs.com
  • Income arrives monthly, not quarterly.
  • Not a freshly minted launch: the strategy has traded since 2015 and survived a fund reorganization along the way.paceretfs.com

Worth knowing

  • Active pricing: 0.60% a year, above the roughly 0.40% typical of high-yield ETFs, and index rivals such as SCYB and SPHY charge a small fraction of that.
  • The S&P/LSTA Leveraged Loan 100 is the yardstick, not the blueprint. Holdings are chosen actively, so the portfolio can look quite different from the loan market it gets measured against.paceretfs.com
  • The prospectus flags liquidity, CLO and asset-backed risks alongside high-yield credit risk. Loan paper can get harder to move when markets tighten up.paceretfs.com
