LIAUDLifeX 2060 Inflation-Protected Longevity Income ETF

STIPAiShares 0-5 Year TIPS Bond ETF

In short

LIAU No data

STIP The short-fuse inflation hedge. STIP holds only inflation-linked Treasuries maturing inside five years, keeping the inflation link while sidestepping most of the long-bond rate swings. Three basis points a year.

Stated mandate

LIAU No data

STIP The fund seeks to track an index of U.S. Treasury inflation-protected securities with maturities under five years, offering inflation hedging while managing duration risk.

Why people hold it

LIAU No data

  • STIP Three basis points a year, roughly a quarter of the typical fee in its Treasury ETF group. On cost, this is near the floor for bond funds.
  • Maturities capped under five years by design, so the inflation adjustment stays and the long-duration price swings largely do not.
  • Running since 2010, a multi-billion-dollar fund that trades actively. Plain index construction, US Treasuries only.
  • Sits in the upper half of the Treasury bond ETFs we cover, one of the stronger short-maturity builds in that group.

Worth knowing

LIAU No data

  • STIP Short bonds accrue less inflation compensation than long-dated TIPS, and prices still move with real yields. This is a dampened hedge, not a pure one.
  • Distributions are irregular. Payouts ride the inflation adjustment, so income arrives lumpy rather than as a steady check.
  • Around 25 bonds, all at the front of the curve. SCHP spans the full TIPS maturity range for the same 0.03%.
