ISHARES TR U S TREAS INFLATION

Rating:

DATE: 3/8/2010

For TIPS this is the one. Inexpensive, owns only inflation-protected Treasuries, backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S.government.

Also, it is the preferable way to buy TIPS as I see it. Investors who buy individual bonds face a tax bill on inflation-adjustment. Not so here.

FIDELITY ADVISOR INTL SMALL CAP CL C

Rating:

DATE: 3/4/2010

Uncomfortable management changes and too much weighted in Japan. The fund has had dismal returns, relatively speaking, in the 3 and 5 year

HIPAX must hold at least 65% in TIPS and there were times that the fund held 90% in TIPS. The rest of the portfolio varies and gives the managers the flexibility to do what they deem best for the other 35%. Manager, Hendricks has recently scaled back on short dated TIPS; his feeling, that near-term inflation is not happening. This fund did rather ...

VANGUARD WELLINGTON FUND

Rating:

DATE: 2/25/2010

What can I say except all good things are at Vanguard's Wellington Fund. Must be approached with a long-term goal especially since the equity strategy is about finding out-of-favor stocks. Corporate bonds are usually of the higher quality.
Fees remain low, and managers invest their own dough in VWELX.
