IBIJBiShares iBonds Oct 2033 Term TIPS ETF

VTPAVanguard Total Inflation-Protected Securities ETF

In short

IBIJ Most target-maturity bond funds bundle corporate or plain Treasury paper. This one holds inflation-linked Treasuries with a 2033 maturity year stamped on the label, so the CPI adjustment comes with an end date instead of a perpetual roll.

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

IBIJ The fund seeks to track an index composed of U.S. Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities maturing in 2033.

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

  • IBIJ Tracks an index of U.S. Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities maturing in 2033: the inflation adjustment of TIPS inside a dated, term-structured wrapper.
  • Charges 0.10%, in line with the median target-maturity bond fund, for what is a narrower and less common corner of that shelf.
  • Rules-based and fully indexed to the ICE 2033 Maturity US Inflation-Linked Treasury Index. No manager picking bonds, no drift into other maturity years.
  • Sits in the upper half of its target-maturity peer group on our review, with high confidence in the mandate evidence behind it.
  • 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

  • IBIJ Thinly traded and modest in size, so spreads can be wider than the household-name bond ETFs. Limit orders matter more here.
  • Inflation-linked does not mean price-stable: before 2033, TIPS values still move with real yields.
  • Cheaper dated Treasury options exist in the same cohort (IBTJ at 0.07%), but they carry no inflation adjustment. Different job, different price.
  • 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
