Description: VTIP Vanguard Short-Term October 30, 2025
The Vanguard Short-Term Inflation-Protected Securities Index Fund (VTIP) tracks a market-cap-weighted index of all U.S. Treasury inflation-protected securities (TIPS) that have less than five years remaining to maturity, providing investors with exposure to short-duration real-return bonds.
Key metrics to watch: the fund’s average duration hovers around 2.5 years, its yield-to-worst typically trails nominal Treasury yields by the current breakeven inflation rate (≈ 2.3 % as of Q3 2024), and its expense ratio is a low 0.05 %. The primary driver of performance is the trajectory of U.S. inflation expectations, which are heavily influenced by Federal Reserve policy, labor-market tightness, and commodity price trends.
For a deeper, data-rich analysis of how VTIP fits into a broader inflation-hedging strategy, you may find the research tools on ValueRay worth exploring.
