I'm not sure if this is the correct Forum to post this in...
I am trying to determine the Pros and Cons of buying TIPS (Treasury Inflation Protected Securities) directly, versus mutual funds whose goal is inflation protection, that are heavily into TIPS. This would be for another asset allocation type, I'm not gonna go overboard with it.
So far I've got:
TIPS directly is lowest cost, versus typically a .25% expense ratio on a mutual fund.
The mutual fund is liquid, compared to holding actual TIPS.
Any and all comments appreciated!
