I'll disagree with all of them at the moment you believe interest rates will begin to rise. The inflation protected securities may not give you the protection you believe if the area you live in, or the lifestyle you lead, incurs price increases faster than the return on these funds. That is, you may receive an inflation protection of X% but if you live in Nyc your inflation protection may need to be X%+Y%. If rates increase no reason to be in bonds or emerging markets. They will both sink first. When the Fed minutes were published and there was some talk about ending QE forever perhaps this year those funds sunk for the next two days. If rates increase all equity funds will decrease and I believe there is a higher correlation than most believe btw U.S. and foreign equities, that is, if US equities go down being diversified in foreign equities will offer little diversity since they both move in tandem.
