iShares TIPS Bond ETF

iShares TIPS Bond ETF is an exchange-traded fund that provides exposure to U.S. Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities, a segment of the fixed income market designed to adjust for changes in the Consumer Price Index. The fund seeks to track an index composed of inflation-linked U.S. Treasury bonds, offering investors access to government-backed securities whose principal values and coupon payments are periodically adjusted to reflect measured inflation. iShares TIPS Bond ETF predominantly holds a diversified portfolio of Treasury inflation-protected bonds across a range of maturities, aiming to represent the broad U.S. TIPS market. By focusing on inflation-protected Treasuries, the ETF plays a role in portfolios that emphasize preserving purchasing power and managing inflation-related risks within fixed income allocations. It distributes income monthly, including both traditional coupon interest and the inflation adjustment component generated by the underlying securities. Managed by iShares from the United States, the fund operates today as a widely used vehicle for institutional and individual investors seeking systematic exposure to U.S. inflation-linked government bonds.
