Our read on each fund

ETF.net Research

IBIHBiShares iBonds Oct 2031 Term TIPS ETF

VTPAVanguard Total Inflation-Protected Securities ETF

In short

IBIH Inflation protection with an end date. IBIH tracks an ICE index of Treasury inflation-protected bonds maturing in 2031, so it behaves like one rung of a ladder instead of a TIPS fund that rolls its maturities forever.

VTP Vanguard's ETF answer for the whole TIPS curve. It tracks a market-value-weighted index of Treasury inflation-linked bonds with at least a year left to run, charges five basis points, and opened for business in 2025.

Stated mandate

IBIH The fund seeks to follow an index of U.S. Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities maturing in 2031.

VTP The Fund passively tracks the full market of U.S. Treasury inflation-protected public obligations through the ICE U.S. Treasury Inflation Linked Bond Index.

Why people hold it

  • IBIH One narrow job: US TIPS maturing in 2031, measured against an ICE index built for that single maturity year. You always know which vintage you own.ishares.com
  • Everything inside is US government inflation-linked debt, so credit risk is off the table and the moving parts are real yields and inflation.ishares.com
  • Fee is 0.10% a year, right at the median for target-maturity bond ETFs, and the fund has been running since 2023.
  • Designed to slot beside other dated rungs, so a do-it-yourself inflation ladder is a matter of picking years rather than buying individual Treasuries.ishares.com
  • VTP Five basis points: under half the typical fund in its Treasury peer group, and well below the 0.12% charged by broad TIPS rival SPIP.
  • Full-curve coverage. The index is market value weighted and takes inflation-protected Treasuries with at least one year to maturity, no upper limit, so no single maturity slice bet.ice.com
  • Vanguard's other inflation-linked ETF stops below five years to maturity. This one is the long-end-included sibling, in the same low-cost index wrapper.vanguard.com
  • The inflation link sits inside the bonds, not in a strategy overlay: principal and coupons are indexed to consumer prices, and the fund passes income through quarterly.vanguard.com

Worth knowing

  • IBIH Small and thinly traded next to broad TIPS funds. Spreads can be wider, and bigger orders take more care to fill.
  • A single maturity year of Treasuries means a short holdings list. Concentrated by design, though the issuer behind every bond is the same one.
  • Distributions come quarterly and ride on CPI-linked principal adjustments, so the size of the check moves with inflation rather than sitting still.ishares.com
  • VTP Owning the long end cuts both ways. Real-rate moves hit a full-maturity TIPS portfolio harder than a sub-five-year one, so expect more price movement.ice.comvanguard.com
  • A 2025 launch means a short track record and thinner trading than the long-established TIPS funds, which can show up as wider bid-ask spreads.
  • Payouts move with inflation adjustments rather than a fixed rate, and Vanguard discloses that a distribution can include return of capital.vanguard.com
