About VIPIX
Vanguard Inflation-Protected Securities Fund Institutional Shares is a mutual fund designed for institutional investors seeking both protection from inflation and stable income. Its key objective is to provide a hedge against inflation by investing at least 80% of its assets in inflation-indexed bonds, primarily those issued by the U.S. government, its agencies, and instrumentalities, as well as select corporate securities. The fund's portfolio is characterized by a high credit quality, predominantly consisting of securities rated AAA, and focuses nearly all assets in domestic bonds. With a low expense ratio and a substantial asset base, it appeals to institutional clients managing large portfolios. Distributions are paid quarterly, and its performance is closely tied to changes in inflation and real interest rates, making it an important vehicle for investors who require inflation-sensitive fixed income exposure in sectors such as pensions, insurance, and endowment funds.
Performance
VIPIX had a total return of 4.33% in the past year, including dividends. Since the fund's inception, the average annual return has been 3.61%.
