Fund Description

The Vanguard Inflation-Protected Securities Fund Admiral Shares (VAIPX) is a specialized, actively managed fund that seeks to provide inflation protection for investors. VAIPX does this by investing solely in Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities or TIPS. These fixed-income instruments provide coupons that are adjusted for inflation rates. VAIPX may also invest up to 20% of its assets in standard Treasury and corporate bonds.

While VAIPX is technically a fixed-income fund, there are some key differences between TIPs and regular bonds. As such, the fund is a low-cost complement option for investors with other fixed income or equity positions. The fund is internally managed by Vanguard.
