No...they have every issue available that matures in the year of expiration. 2 or 5 issues is what they all hold. You're exclusively banking on Uncle Sam being good for the money. Diversification safety in the normal sense isn't applicable.Is there a risk in this fund related to the low number of actual bonds held? I'm not sure how to ask the question, but recall that there was too little market or float or whatever and that adds a risk to these newly created funds. I have no idea if, and to what extent this is a risk, just wondering if you or some other knowledgeable person on this thread knows.I put my TIPS coupons into the nearest maturing IShare IBond TIPS ETF (IBIA). I recognize I am giving up some yield due to the ER; but until I can accumulate enough cash in the ETF to buy another TIPS, I find it good enough.
