- WisdomTree Floating Rate Treasury Fund (USFR) is an exchange-traded fund that seeks to track the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the Bloomberg U.S. Treasury Floating Rate Bond Index. The fund provides cost-effective access to newly issued U.S. government floating rate notes, which fluctuate with short-term rates and are priced at a spread over three-month Treasury bills; it offers a short-term government bond solution with minimal interest rate sensitivity, low duration exposure of approximately 0.02 years, and an expense ratio of 0.15%. USFR holds primarily U.S. Treasury floating rate notes with maturities around two years, weighted toward AAA-rated securities, including top holdings such as U.S. Treasury FRNs maturing in 2027; it distributes income quarterly as ordinary income and supports options trading. Launched on February 4, 2014, and listed on NYSE Arca, the fund manages approximately $18.9 billion in assets and targets investors seeking low-risk, floating-rate exposure backed by the U.S. government.
Operated by WisdomTree, Inc., a global financial innovator headquartered in New York, NY, and founded in 1985, USFR forms part of WisdomTree's diverse suite of over 200 exchange-traded products focused on fixed income, equities, commodities, and alternatives; the firm operates across North America, Europe, and other regions with approximately $136 billion in global assets under management.
In recent developments, WisdomTree completed its acquisition of Ceres Partners, a premier U.S. farmland investment manager, on October 2, 2025, for $275 million upfront plus up to $225 million earnout, marking the firm's entry into private asset markets and expanding beyond ETPs into farmland and related opportunities like solar leasing and water rights. This strategic move complements WisdomTree's ongoing launches, including the Europe Defence UCITS ETF surpassing $1 billion AUM shortly after its March 2025 debut and new thematic funds targeting geopolitical and nuclear energy exposures, reflecting broader diversification and growth in income-generating solutions. USFR itself has seen robust inflows, with assets growing significantly amid interest in floating-rate treasuries, though it recorded net outflows in October 2025 amid fixed income shifts.
