Inflation-Protected Bonds ETFs invest in government-issued bonds designed to protect against inflation. These ETFs provide investors with a hedge against rising prices, as the bonds' principal and interest payments are adjusted in line with inflation. This can help preserve purchasing power, but may offer lower yields compared to conventional bonds in low-inflation environments.
