PIMCO 1-5 Year US TIPS ETF
STPZ-N
TOP PICK
May 31, 2010
ETF. Place to put low risk US cash. Safe in the face of potentially rising inflation. Real return bonds. It is a product he would like in Canada. Risk is Interest rates rising without inflation.
Very defensive ETF. For investors who have US$ and are concerned that inflation may go up. (TIPS are securities where returns are indexed to the CPI (consumer price index). As inflation picks up their payout should rise.
Inflation protected investment. Pays out on top of inflation. If investors believe inflation will persist, is a good investment. Would not recommend investing at this time - inflation will fall in the coming months. Not a good investment for beginners.
