Allianz Global Investors is pleased to announce that PIMCO now offers three TIPS Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs), giving investors a choice of short maturity, long maturity and broad TIPS index exposure to help them address their inflation-protection needs.
Launched on August 20, 2009, the PIMCO 1-5 Year U.S. TIPS Index Fund (STPZ) targets the shorter maturity Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS) market. Accordingly, the Fund may offer higher correlation to changes in inflation than longer-maturity TIPS with lower volatility.
PIMCO’s two newest offerings, the PIMCO 15+ Year U.S. TIPS Index Fund (LTPZ) and PIMCO Broad U.S. TIPS Index Fund (TIPZ), launched on September 3, 2009, are designed to offer long or broad exposure to the U.S. TIPS curve, and may be especially appealing to investors seeking greater return sensitivity to changes in real yield, or aiming to protect purchasing power in the long run.
