VTIP: Well Placed As Fed Easing Risks Reigniting Inflation
VTIP ETF has returned 6.2% annualized since June 2023, outperforming cash due to the fall in real yields seen over this period. The ETF holds Treasury Inflation Protected Securities with an average maturity of 2.5 years, which have an average yield to maturity of 2.3%. Rising inflation pressures since the Fed's rate cut suggest VTIP will continue to outperform cash and bonds as inflation expectations recover.

VTIP: The Best ETF In The Category, But Not The Right Time To Invest
VTIP has a straightforward structure, investing in TIPS with short durations, yet it shows good efficiency compared to its peers. The drivers of VTIP are interest rates, duration, and inflation, making it an attractive investment only in anticipation of rising inflation when interest rates are low. As of now, I do not expect a new peak in inflation, so, at the moment, there are much more profitable dividend investments.
