Selling Floating Rate Notes (FRNs)

The U.S. Treasury began issuing Floating Rate Notes (FRNs) in January 2014. If you own one, you can hold it until it matures or sell it before it matures.

To sell an FRN held in TreasuryDirect, first transfer the security to a bank or broker, then ask the bank or broker to sell it for you.
