They are heavy on VIPSX, a 4-Star,that has zero stocks. I have some of this fund, and will buy more to lower exposure to stocks.
I would not buy that fund now. It has a negative real yield and duration on the long end of the intermediate term range. You definitely do not want to hold it in a taxable account as it is a major tax PITA as it pays out the inflation accruals. You would be better of buying I-bonds which are tax deferred, or buying a much shorter duration TIPS fund. Vanguard came out with one within the last 60-days, PIMCO has them and ETF versions, too, again not good for taxable accounts.
