About this ETF
This exchange-traded fund seeks to mirror an index tracking U.S. Treasury inflation-protected securities (TIPS) with maturities of less than five years. It is designed to produce returns closely aligned with actual short-term inflation and aims to provide investors with a more stable investment profile compared to TIPS funds holding longer-dated assets. Due to its shorter duration, the fund typically incurs less real interest rate risk, though this often translates to lower overall returns when compared to longer-duration TIPS funds. Its portfolio consists of bonds guaranteed by the U.S. government, with their principal value adjusted twice a year according to inflation, thereby offering a safeguard against unforeseen increases in inflation.

Guided help: AUM is fund size. The expense ratio is the yearly cost baked into returns. NAV is the value of what the fund owns per share; the market price can sit slightly above (premium) or below (discount) it. Total return assumes distributions were reinvested. Every dataset shows its own as-of date because holdings, assets and quotes update on different schedules.
