Our read on each fund
LTPZC
PBTPA
In short
LTPZ Inflation 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.
PBTP Inflation-linked Treasuries with the long end cut off: PBTP holds only TIPS maturing inside five years, keeping the CPI adjustment while dialing down interest-rate swings.
Stated mandate
LTPZ 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.
PBTP The fund provides exposure to US Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities with remaining maturities from one month to less than five years.
