Our read on LTPZ
In short
CInflation protection with the duration dial cranked all the way up. LTPZ holds only TIPS maturing in 15 years or more, so it swings on long-term real yields far more than a whole-curve inflation fund.
Stated mandate
The fund seeks total returns that closely track, before fees and expenses, the return of its specified index. It uses representative sampling to obtain exposure to that index.
