Q: Would this ETF be a good investment at this time?
Asked by shirley on April 17, 2026
5i Research Answer:

Yield is 4.07%, and three year return annualized is 5.58%. TIPS at times do not perform as expected, as there are often variances in the yield curve, but for inflation protection and income and safety we would be quite comfortable with this ETF for fixed income investors.
