Our read on each fund

ETF.net Research

LDRICiShares iBonds 1-5 Year TIPS Ladder ETF

VTIPAVanguard Short-Term Inflation-Protected Securities ETF

In short

LDRI No data

VTIP Inflation protection without the long-bond whiplash. VTIP holds only Treasury TIPS maturing inside five years, so CPI does most of the driving and rate swings do less of it, for three basis points a year.

Stated mandate

LDRI No data

VTIP Tracks a benchmark measuring the investment return of U.S. Treasury inflation-protected public obligations with remaining maturities under five years.

Why people hold it

LDRI No data

  • VTIP Three basis points a year, against a 0.12% median for Treasury bond ETFs in its group. Vanguard's at-cost setup shows up right in the fee line.vanguard.com
  • TIPS principal ratchets with CPI, and the under-five-year maturity cap keeps duration short, so rate moves land lighter here than in full-curve TIPS funds like SCHP.vanguard.com
  • Open since 2012 and now a multi-billion-dollar, actively traded fund that owns Treasury paper directly. Plain index rules, no swaps, no credit detours.

Worth knowing

LDRI No data

  • VTIP Short maturities cut both ways: less sensitivity to rates, and less exposure to shifts in long-run inflation expectations than a full-maturity TIPS fund such as SCHP.
  • Income rides on CPI accruals, so the quarterly payout moves around rather than arriving as a steady coupon.
  • This is one narrow slice of one market, short US Treasury TIPS, not a diversified bond portfolio.
