iShares TIPS Bond ETF seeks to track the investment results of the ICE U.S. Treasury Inflation Linked Bond Index composed of inflation-protected U.S. Treasury bonds. The index tracks the performance of inflation-protected public obligations of the U.S. Treasury, commonly known as “TIPS,” that have a remaining maturity of more than one year. The fund will invest at least 80% of its assets in the component securities of the index, and it will invest at least 90% of its assets in U.S. Treasury securities that BFA believes will help the fund track the index.
