Personal Investments • Bernstein makes me wonder if I'm doing bonds all wrong? Seeking advice.

I am pretty sure that the 1.35% yield quoted is the real-yield, but 4.57% and 4.27% are nominal yields. So they are not the same thing..

Agreed. Making it hard to compare.

Portfolio Visualizer to the rescue.

That seems to be a significant difference at least during this time period of both rising and declining rates.

But the expected return is the same.

When the inflation turns out to be higher than expected, TIPS beat nominals. When the inflation turns out to be lower than expected, nominals beat TIPS.

Past is past, it could go either way going forward.
