Vanguard Short-Term Inflation-Protected Securities ETF

The Vanguard Short-Term Inflation-Protected Securities ETF (VTIP) provides exposure to short-term US Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS). It tracks the Bloomberg US Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS) 0–5 Year Index.

Key Features:

• Inflation Protection: Principal adjusts with CPI inflation
• Short Duration: Lower interest rate sensitivity than longer TIPS
• Government Backing: Backed by the full faith and credit of the US government
• Low Expense Ratio: One of the cheapest inflation-protected bond ETFs

Expense Ratio: 0.04%

Number of Holdings: ~25 short-term US Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities

Portfolio Context:

VTIP is the Vanguard equivalent to the Global Inflation-linked Bond Fund.

This ETF is part of the Vanguard ETF Portfolio vs Equivalent Fidelity Funds comparison, where it serves as the Vanguard equivalent for one or more Fidelity funds.

Portfolio Composition

Bond Type	Weight
US Treasury TIPS (0–5 Year)	~100%

Credit Quality: AAA (US government-backed)

Average Duration: ~2.3–2.7 years

Average Maturity: ~2.5–3 years

Note: As a short-term TIPS ETF, VTIP holds approximately 20–30 individual Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities. Because TIPS are issued at specific maturities and the 0–5 year window is narrow, the universe of eligible bonds is naturally limited. Each holding is fully backed by the US government, so concentration risk is minimal.
