Investing - Theory, News & General • Re: Ultra short bond funds (ETFs) for EF in tax advantaged

For near term needs or as an EF funds that you hold in a tax advantaged space, what ultrashort or floating rate funds would pay the most yield while still preserving your principle? I have looked at VUSB, VSDB, SCUS, FLTR, ….. I’m sure there are other offerings. Is there one that stands out more than others? All have low ER. Of these it would appear that VUSB and SCUS are probably the least volatile with interest rate sensitivity. If there are others that I have not listed, please share. In know there was one with Fidelity but can’t remember the ticker.

I use ICSH for this. Lower expense ratios that any in the bunch you list. Shorter duration than VUSB. Better yield than SCUS despite SCUS's longer duration. Not sure about FLTR.
