For example, ETF investors poured a combined $1.1 billion into the iShares US Real Estate ETF (IYR) and iShares TIPS Bond ETF (TIP) on Wednesday, according to Bloomberg. Meanwhile, ETF strategies like IYR and TIP can help fixed-income investors hedge against rising consumer prices. The iShares TIPS Bond ETF provides exposure to U.S. Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities, which are government bonds whose face value rises with inflation.
