TIP, launched in late 2003, had a three-and-a-half-year head start to accumulate assets before its first ETF competitor stepped onto the TIPS scene. The passively managed ETF holds a broad and diversified portfolio of USD-denominated TIPS issued by and backed by the full faith and credit of the US government. The fund selects TIPS with more than one year to maturity and at least $300 million in outstanding face value, excludes amounts held by the Federal Reserve. It excludes government agency debt, securities issued or marketed primarily to retail investors, floating rate notes, cash management and T-bills, original issue zero coupon securities, and STRIPs. The underlying index uses market value as its selection and weighting criteria. The index is rebalanced on the last calendar day of each month. Prior to January 31, 2023, this fund tracked the Bloomberg U.S. Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS) Index.
