BlackRock's iShares TIPS Bond ETF, once the largest inflation-hedging fund, is shrinking as investors pivot to shorter-dated options amidst rising interest rates. The ETF has decreased significantly in value due to the Federal Reserve's actions, while the newer iShares 0-5 Year TIPS Bond ETF has seen a 40% increase in assets. This shift highlights a growing preference for investments with lower interest-rate risks, prompting considerations for the U.S. Treasury to revise its TIPS offerings.
