There is a website that creates ladders for you with existing TIPs.

Also there is a set of ETFs that have TIPs that mature at given times although lightly traded.

It is pretty easy to buy individual TIPS on the secondary market.


I've been a long-time lurker here, also from way back in the TMF era.
Jim, thanks for all the insights you've provided over the many years.

I have a question about TIPS ladders. It would seem that TIPS would be suitable for bundling them up in some kind of mutual fund, and that having them as a fund would be the easiest way to get them to work in an IRA. But from what all I can find, the few TIPS funds out there are not ladders, not with any kind of predictable, let alone fixed, maturities. Am I missing something? I'd want staggered maturities and roughly equal weights.
(the context is that I'm very heavy in BRK/B and think this is a good time to do some diversifying.)
