About PFLRX

Putnam Floating Rate Income Fund Class A is a mutual fund that seeks high current income, with preservation of capital as a secondary objective. The fund primarily invests in floating-rate bank loans and other floating-rate debt securities, mainly issued by U.S. corporations and typically rated below investment grade. These loans generally pay interest at rates that reset periodically based on short-term reference rates such as SOFR or LIBOR, plus a credit spread, which helps reduce interest-rate sensitivity compared to traditional fixed-rate bonds. The fund maintains a diversified portfolio of senior secured loans and other floating-rate instruments across a range of industries, including consumer cyclicals, technology, and basic materials. With a focus on credit selection and risk management, the fund aims to generate attractive income in various rate environments while maintaining relatively low effective duration. It is categorized as a bank loan fund and is designed for investors seeking income with lower exposure to rising interest rates.
