Treasury Inflation-protected Securities
Categories: Finance,
Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS) are the inflation-indexed bonds issued by the u.s. treasury. The principal is adjusted to the consumer price index, the commonly used measure of inflation. The coupon rate is constant, but generates a different amount of interest when multiplied by the inflation-adjusted principal, thus protecting the holder against inflation.
