The Index is composed of inflation-protected U.S. Treasury bonds, commonly known as “TIPS”. TIPS are securities issued by the U.S. Treasury that are designed to provide inflation protection to investors. TIPS are income-generating instruments whose interest and principal payments are adjusted for inflation.y. The inflation adjustment, which is typically applied monthly to the principal of the bond, follows a designated inflation index, the consumer price index (“CPI”), and TIPS’ principal payments are adjusted according to changes in the CPI. A fixed coupon rate is applied to the inflation-adjusted principal so that as inflation rises, both the principal value and the interest payments increase. The Index includes all publicly-issued U.S. TIPS that have at least one year remaining to maturity and have $300 million or more of outstanding face value.
