VRIG: Simple Variable-Rate Investment-Grade ETF, Higher-Yield Alternative To T-Bills

The Invesco Variable Rate Investment Grade ETF invests in high-quality, variable rate securities. Overall risk-return profile is closest to t-bills, with a bit more in risk, a bit more in income and yield, with a 4.4% SEC yield. I rate VRIG a buy due to solid fundamentals, favorable macro conditions, and a reliable yield premium over t-bills.
