Investopedia Commentary
A FAN spread is created by either buying a futures contract for five-year treasury notes and selling a futures contract for ten-year treasury bonds or vice versa. Investors speculating on interest rate fluctuations will enter into this type of spread in hopes of under or overpriced treasuries.
