Adam Nash, CEO and co-founder of Daffy, explains the characteristics of Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPs) and Series I Savings Bonds. These are two types of bonds that are easily accessible for most investors and are designed to protect against inflation. TIPs were introduced in 1997 as a response to the high inflation of the 1970s and 1980s. They function like normal treasuries with different durations, but with the added benefit of inflation protection. Series I Savings Bonds, on the other hand, offer not only a fixed rate of return over 30 years but also protection from inflation. These two types of bonds are the most common inflation-protected bonds on the market today. They were created as part of the government's efforts to provide investment opportunities for ordinary investors who wanted to save their money and protect it from inflation. While these bonds offer a great way to protect your investments from inflation, it's also important to consider other ways to manage your finances and give back to the community.
