Floating rate bonds are a special type of bond with adjustable or floating interest rates. For individual investors, these debt instruments resemble much like floating-rate bank loans for you. Floating rate bonds or notes are issued by the same financial entities usually Government financial institutes and large corporations. Floating rate notes (FRNs) are bonds that have a variable coupon, equal to a money market reference rate, like LIBOR or federal funds rate, plus a quoted spread (also known as quoted margin). The spread is a rate that remains constant. Almost all FRNs have quarterly coupons, i.e. they pay out interest every three months. A floating-rate note is a bond that has a variable interest rate, vs. a fixed-rate note that has an interest rate that doesn't fluctuate. The interest rate is tied to a short-term benchmark rate, such as LIBOR or the Fed funds rate, plus a quoted spread, or rate that holds steady.
