They're solid vehicles in terms of higher rates of inflation. However, it looks like, at least over the short-term, we're beyond that.

They're ultra low fee (0.04%) and provide solid protection against inflation.

If you're asking this because you believe inflation will creep up again, I do see value in them. However, if it stays relatively low, they don't provide much advantage. This is likely why the fund has had more than $3.8B~ in outflows over the last few years.

I'm curious, any particular reason you're interested in them now?

You are right Dan;.I do think inflation and rates may edge back up so I want to be contrarian & diverisfy for different outcomes.

No problem! In that case, these are solid funds. Just know if we don't get that inflation creeping back up, these funds will underperform.
