AGRH is an interest rate hedged total US bonds ETF from BlackRock iShares.
Thinly traded as of now, but I like it enough that it's 40% of my bonds allocation.
Note that it's not hedged to inflation alone (they have AGIH for that). So it should do well if real interest rates go up without inflation going up.
My ironclad motto is that nobody knows what direction interest rates will go next. For example, right now inflation seems to be moderating, but US government that has to be inflated away at some point. So I think it makes sense to have some fixed interest rate bonds, and some floating interest bonds. But the usual floaters are floated by weak and less credit worthy companies. So I like this product much better than FLRN or FLOT or similar, ETFs.
