What is VTIP?

The Vanguard Short-Term Inflation-Protected Securities Index ETF seeks to track an index that measures the performance of inflation-protected public obligations of the U.S. Treasury that have a remaining maturity of less than five years. It is designed to generate returns more closely correlated with realized inflation over the near term, and to offer investors the potential for less volatility of returns relative to a longer-duration TIPS fund.

  • Create an investing strategy that hedges an ETF with an uncorrelated or inversely correlated ETF.
