TIP stocks have performed well over the last year, but over the last three months, they’ve lagged behind the market, returning only -0.1% and -8%, respectively. The market-value-weighted TIP index tracks the performance of US Treasury inflation-protected securities with at least one year to maturity. TIP’s trading costs remain relatively low, which enables it to lure more assets into its portfolio. TIP also boasts excellent tracking, with key portfolio statistics almost identical to its benchmark. Moreover, TIP’s portfolio is diversified, with TIPS of all sizes and maturity dates.
