Method

The 25 bond ETFs with the largest rate cushion: a year of income divided by duration, the rise in rates it takes to wipe out the year's income.

The rest of the method

25 funds qualify and every one is listed, in this order: rate cushion, percentage points. Figures are rounded to the digit printed before they are compared with a line. Each row’s own dates are in screener.json, which holds every figure on this page and the rule that selects it. The list sorts one published figure, with no scoring or weighting. Every ETF ETFIQ covers is eligible. A fund that has closed is on no list.
