Hi Pete, Both Pimco and iShares have offered sort term TIP ETFs for some time now. You may want to take a peek at their track record. The iShares Barclays 0-5 Year TIPS Bond Fund ( STIP), which is also based on the same Barclays index Vanguard will be using, costs 0.20 percent. The fund has gathered some $358 million in assets since it came to market in December 2010. The Pimco 1-5 Year U.S. TIPS Index Fund ( STPZ) also costs 0.20 percent a year and has just shy of $1 billion in assets. It launched in early 2002. finance.yahoo.com
