I never needed inflation protection until the last 12 months. My equities provide plenty of inflation protection. If I was 100% fixed income, I would
spend time trying to match inflation. Equities are for eating well, bonds are for sleeping well. This year is an exception, and I hope "this time is different" is not true. Cash would also have looked terrible for the last 10 years. I don't own that fund and likely never will.

My questions were about VISPX. You said Bogleheads look at ten to twenty year periods. Looking at a ten year period for VISPX, what do you think? This thread has been mostly about TIPS funds vs. individual TIPS. Do you think the fund performed just as well as individual TIPS have over the last ten years?
