Floating Rate Advances provide funding with rate resets at periodic intervals, usually tied to one-month or three-month LIBOR, effective federal funds, Federal Home Loan Bank discount note, or prime rates. These advances can be a valuable tool for members to manage interest-rate risk and fund adjustable-rate loans.
