## FLOT Yield Breakdown
A $100,000 investment in FLOT yields $4,040 annually with monthly distributions of $0.180987 per share.
## 47% Bank Concentration
Nearly half of FLOT's $9.28 billion net assets are bank-issued paper from JPMorgan Chase, Citigroup, and global lenders.
## Fed Rate Impact
Higher Fed rates cause FLOT's coupons to reset higher, but with a lag that keeps distributions below 2025 highs.
## Bank Spread Risk
A regional bank stress could widen spreads across FLOT's entire portfolio, wiping out yield gains quickly.
## Treasury Alternatives
USFR and TFLO funds hold only Treasury floating-rate notes with no bank exposure.
## Bull Case
FLOT offers slightly better income than Treasury floaters with exposure to systemically important banks.
## Bear Case
If bank credit spreads widen, FLOT's NAV drops while Treasury alternatives hold steady.
## Key takeaway

FLOT's 47% bank-issued paper concentration risks credit events.
