Re: Variable issues with a fixed floor If you looking for floating issues with a fixed divi "floor" from relatively highly rated companies, Metlife's MET-A and Bank of America's BAC-E might be worth a look. Both yield about a 5.8% currently (floating on SOFR) and a 4% minimum divi floor. I quite liked the 4% floor during the ZIRP period. If interest rates keep falling, they will likely rise in price. I have flipped both of these issues for about $10/share a couple of times over the last 10 years (?), so there is capital appreciation opportunity if you can buy them cheap (I sell at about $26). However, it might be a decent value even at current prices if it fits in your strategy. I hold a full position in both. Not a recommendation - I don't recommend anything.
