What is Vanguard Short

Vanguard Short-Term Inflation-Protected Securities ETF seeks to track the performance of a benchmark index that measures the investment return of inflation-protected public obligations of the U.S. Treasury with remaining maturities of less than five years.

Are short

TIPS can be a good investment choice when inflation is running high, since they adjust payments when interest rates rise, whereas other bonds don't. This is usually a good strategy for short-term investing, but stocks and other investments may offer better long-term returns.

Does Vanguard have an inflation protection fund?

Vanguard Inflation-Protected Securities Fund seeks to provide inflation protection and income consistent with investments in inflation-indexed securities. The fund is actively managed using a style-pure, risk-controlled approach that seeks high predictability of returns relative to the benchmark.

Is Vipsx a good buy?

Still, VIPSX is one of the best mutual funds for inflation. It's right for investors who want to diversify their fixed-income holdings, usually to complement a core bond holding that might not perform as well in an inflationary environment.
