In plain English
iShares USD Floating Rate Bond UCITS ETF USD is an exchange-traded fund (ETF) from iShares, launched in 2018.
It tracks the Bloomberg US Floating Rate Notes (<5 Y).

Its ongoing charge is 0.1% a year — about £10 a year on every £10,000 invested, taken from the fund's value rather than billed to you.
