Duration
[edit]FRN don't have a Duration close to Zero. It's close to the fixing frequency, expressed in years. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Desx2501 (talk • contribs) 13:59, 2 September 2009 (UTC) What is the duration of a FRN?

Risk
[edit]I believe that FRNs include inflation risk (the risk that present value of future coupons and repayment of principle will reduce as a result of increasing inflation) as well as credit risk. Inflation risk is different to interest rate risk since inflation and interest rate do not track one another. --85.158.138.20 (talk) 10:31, 10 June 2011 (UTC)

[edit]As John C. Hull speaks about a "floating-rate bond" in Options, Futures, and Other Derivatives (fifth edition) P. 126 and this article says: "Floating rate notes (FRNs) are bonds [...]", it seems to me reasonable to redirect from "floating rate notes" to "floating-rate bond" - instead of the other way round, like up to now.

Macaulay duration
