Yes, all of the TIPs funds are showing a high SEC yield right now (usually shown as a nominal, not real yield). Will it stay up like that? Who knows, but somehow I doubt it.

Thanks, guys, I missed that. I read "TIP" as "TIPS". Guess I need a bit more morning coffee.

TIP is one of the many tickers out there that are annoying, especially when you try to google it...

Re: Ishares TIP div yield is 7%??
That's an annualized figure based on the most recent dividend distribution (July 1). In other words, it's the figure showing what the year's return would have been if every month's dividend had been this amount. Due to the recent spike in inflation the most recent dividends have been higher than in recent past. For comparison, the dividend distribution in June was an annualized 6.4%, in May it was 4.8%, and in April it was 2.8%.

No idea, but I would caution you about getting too excited by this.

Re: Ishares TIP div yield is 7%??
Careful !
TIPS priced to inflation + around 1% when headline inflation is running at near 6% is the sort of reported marked to market "yield" you are seeing. A factor is if inflation stays that high then the bond prices will tend to decline, potentially a lot, and endure capital value losses that eat away those "rewards". Even if inflation reverts to around 2% target levels then bonds priced to 1% will tend to see the yield rise/prices fall and still see quite a large capital/price drop. That yield is not what you might expect as the reward when held longer term.

Re: Ishares TIP div yield is 7%??
Yes, the SEC 30-day yield published for most TIPS funds is almost always a bogus number, as pointed out above, since it annualizes the monthly inflation adjustment for the previous month.
Compare for yourself the differing methodologies for reporting the yield by iShares vs. Vanguard for their TIPS offerings:
iShares TIPS Bond ETF (TIP)
Vanguard Inflation-Protected Securities Fund Investor Shares (VIPSX)iShares wrote:This yield reflects the interest earned after deducting the fund's expenses during the most recent 30-day period by the average investor in the fund. Negative 30-Day SEC Yield results when accrued expenses of the past 30 days exceed the income collected during the past 30 days. The 30-Day SEC Yield is adjusted daily based on changes in the rate of inflation, as provided by the US Treasury schedule that reflects how the monthly Consumer Price Index (CPI) is accrued daily. An exceptionally high 30-Day SEC yield may be attributable to a rise in the inflation rate, which might not be repeated.
Vanguard bypasses the bogus SEC 30-day methodology, and simply reports the real yield for their TIPS funds and ETFs. To this real yield, one can add their own estimate of the future annual inflation rate to get a rough estimate of the fund's prospective annual yield.Vanguard wrote:The yield quoted is the real yield, or the yield before adjusting for inflation. The actual yield of Vanguard Inflation-Protected Securities Fund will be a combination of the real yield and an inflation adjustment. A complete estimate of the fund's yield requires that an estimate of future inflation be added to the real yield. Because inflation fluctuates, it cannot be projected into the future precisely enough to be included in the yield quote.

There was a Wall Street Journal article written by Jason Zweig published this month, "Don’t Believe the Inflated Yields on Inflation-Protected Bond Funds...An 8% return on government bonds? Only a nutty calculation can make it so." link

Re: Ishares TIP div yield is 7%??
The TIP ETF isn't special in this regard. All TIPS funds subject to US tax law will be paying out the CPI based principal increase.
I would expect the large dividends [by TIPS funds that pay dividends monthly] to continue for at least two more months. Because of the lag in CPI values used to index TIPS principal, the July 1st dividend last paid by the TIP ETF (see TIP Dividend History), reflected the CPI through April 2021 (see monthly CPI-U and daily Ref CPI). The CPI had further large monthly increases in May and June. So even if the CPI remains the same after that, there will still likely be large dividends August 1st and September 1st. Here are the CPI values and increases since last October:
Code: Select all
---------- CPI-U ---------- ---- Pct Increase ---
Month Applied Value 1 Mo X 12 Cumul
-------- -------- ------- ----- ---- -----
Oct 2020 1/1/2021 260.388
Nov 2020 2/1/2021 260.229 (0.06%) (0.7%) (0.1%)
Dec 2020 3/1/2021 260.474 0.09% 1.1% 0.0%
Jan 2021 4/1/2021 261.582 0.43% 5.1% 0.5%
Feb 2021 5/1/2021 263.014 0.55% 6.6% 1.0%
Mar 2021 6/1/2021 264.877 0.71% 8.5% 1.7%
Apr 2021 7/1/2021 267.054 0.82% 9.9% 2.6%
May 2021 8/1/2021 269.195 0.80% 9.6% 3.4%
Jun 2021 9/1/2021 271.696 0.93% 11.1% 4.3%
* All TIPS currently have negative yields-to-maturity. For funds like the TIP ETF that follow the index of all TIPS maturing in more than one year ("1+" index), these average about -1.6% as shown in the latest update to my TIPS Consistent Yield thread.

Re: Ishares TIP div yield is 7%??
Published projected yields of TIPS funds are wildly all over the map. All you should care about is the real yield, which as of July 26 is -1.47% per the iShares web site. Inflation would have to be about 8.47% over the next year to get a noninal yield of 7% over the period.

Its real yield is negative. Its nominal yield is real yield + inflation rate.
