About iShares 0-5 Year TIPS Bond ETF (STIP)

The iShares 0-5 Year TIPS Bond ETF (STIP) is an exchange-traded fund that seeks to provide investors with exposure to short-term Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS) bonds. TIPS are designed to protect investors against inflation by adjusting the principal value of the bond based on changes in the Consumer Price Index. The ETF invests primarily in TIPS bonds with maturities of less than 5 years, making it suitable for investors seeking relatively low-duration inflation-protected fixed income exposure.

With a ticker symbol of STIP, this ETF aims to track the performance of the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS) 0-5 Year Index. This index is comprised of TIPS bonds issued by the U.S. Treasury with remaining maturities between 0 and 5 years. By investing in this ETF, investors gain access to a diversified portfolio of short-term TIPS bonds, helping protect their investment against potential inflationary pressures.
