Rebuilt every trading night.\n As of Nov 4, 2026, ETFIQ covers 16 inflation-protected bond ETFs, with a median fee of 0.10%, the lowest of the bond groups compared here.\n \n In plain words\n An inflation-protected bond ETF owns US Treasury bonds whose principal rises with consumer prices, called TIPS. When prices rise, the bond\u2019s value and interest payments rise with them.\n ETFIQ counts 16 funds, at a median fee of 0.10%, the lowest of the bond groups compared here. Short-term versions own TIPS that mature soon and move less when rates change. The protection is against inflation over the bond\u2019s life, not against a price fall, so a TIPS fund can still drop when rates rise. Read the duration on each fund page.\n Questions\n What is TIPS? Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities. Their principal is adjusted for inflation.\n Can a TIPS fund lose value? Yes. Rising rates lower bond prices, including TIPS.\n Where do I see duration?
