Yogi -- thank you for your post.
Decided to participate in the 5-year TIP auction, in both my Trad- and Roth-IRA. The orders filled today.
Thanks again!

Further, some view ESG strictly from an investment perspective - how do these factors affect a company's risks - while others view ESG investing as a way to improve the world, or at least not contribute to its decline.
For the first perspective (and a discussion of how varied ESG metrics can be):
https://www.fastcompany.com/90754822/is-it-time-to-rethink-what-esg-investing-means

“There’s a sort of obscure language that ESG raters use to talk about this stuff,” says Thomas Lyon, director of the Erb Institute for Global Sustainable Enterprise at the University of Michigan’s Ross School of Business. “They like to talk about 'materiality,’ which means, is this particular thing going to have a material impact on our bottom line? It’s not asking the question, ‘Will it have a material impact on the planet, or on people?’ It’s all about the bottom line.” For example, MSCI, one of the largest companies that rates companies for ESG, says on its website that its ratings are “not a general measure of corporate ‘goodness'” or even “a synonym for sustainable investing”; instead they “provide a window into one facet of risk to financial performance.”

The SEC recently proposed a regulation that would require companies "to include certain climate-related disclosures in their registration statements and periodic reports, including information about climate-related risks that are reasonably likely to have a material impact on their business, results of operations, or financial condition." Clearly focused on ESG from a bottom line perspective.

I regard ESG as SRI 2.0. Whereas SRI tended to use screens (often exclusionary or negative, sometimes inclusive or positive), ESG tends to take a more holistic perspective, recognizing that no company is perfect in any aspect. Different ESG raters give different weights to various factors. Thus a company included in one ESG list may be excluded from another.

5-yr, 0.125% coupon TIPS auction today, 6/23/22, was at real YTM of +0.362%. In the secondary market, the real yield yesterday, 6/22/22, was +0.48%.

Thank you for all your feedback. No longer maturity fixed income vehicles for sure. I am looking at the shorter-end of treasury or CD ladder - a bit more yield than money market. Since they will be for our tax-deferred accounts, tax-exempt advantage doesn’t apply.
Given the rising interest rate environment, I will be buying some 5-yr TIPS at auction tomorrow. Also considering some treasury at auction on next Monday.
After Powell testimony today, several more rounds of rate hikes are anticipated.

@BaluBalu Here's a partial answer to your question. The Blackstone Real Estate Income Trust (BREIT) website can be accessed here. That site lists it's total asset value at $111B with 50% of the portfolio being in the residential sector. The Q1 2022 update states "Within residential....the portfolio is predominantly suburban, garden style apartments and is 85% concentrated in the Southern and Western U.S.". I am aware that BREIT made a $6B investment in single family housing rentals last year.

GSIHX has 1/3/5 year tax cost ratios of 0.77%/0.31%/0.20%. That seems pretty well suited to a taxable account. Moreso because it passes through a foreign tax credit.

I'm just using short-laddered T-bills purchased at Fidelity.
As I type this, T-bill rates for 3M/6M/1-yr are: 1.5% / 2.4% / 2.8%.
I fired the middle-man (MM funds) and just went straight to the source.

Here is statistical info that lends support to the comment @Junkster made:
Those with cash and/or other financial resources are not yet being squeezed.
Here is a comment that focuses on the single family rental market issue @hank mentioned:

The U.S. doesn't have enough homes to meet demand — even now, as fewer people want to buy in the face of rising mortgage rates...Rising mortgage rates could actually put more pressure on the rental market: As first-time buyers put off a new purchase, they'll continue to rely on renting.

Sadly, but not surprisingly, higher rents are hitting households with limited incomes the hardest. But, from an investment perspective, high demand for available rentals suggests there may continue to be opportunities for some single family rental investments. (A little over 10% of the high yield sleeve of my portfolio is invested in residential rental reits.)

I notice that this morning on Bloomberg that 5-year TIPS yield is at 0.45% and the coupon (rate) at 0.13% (round off from 0.125%).
https://bloomberg.com/markets/rates-bonds/government-bonds/us
In addition, at Fidelity, the same 5-yr TIPS stated the Expected yield at 0.423%. Are these yield the same as "Real yield" noted earlier this week at 0.54%.

Fixed annuity yields are finally back to being significantly higher than CDs. They are another option to consider - for IRAs, for savers over 59½, for people who will be at least that old when the contract penalty period expires.
For example, instead of going out 10 years to get a CD yielding 4%, one can buy a 5 year fixed annuity ($10K min) from Reliance Standard (AM Best A++) yielding 4.05%.
Reliance Standard 5 year annuity
Unlike a CD that at best lets you withdraw interest w/o penalty, some fixed annuities like this one also permit annual withdrawals of up to 10% of the balance. And unlike a multi-year CD, there's no phantom income - the interest is tax deferred until withdrawn. Though there is a potential 10% IRS tax penalty if you don't satisfy an exception (e.g. over age 59½).
A broker selling you an annuity takes a cut just as a broker does when selling you a CD. At maturity you get your full principal and promised interest. With either product.
On the short end, Treasuries are looking good compared with CDs. Similar nominal rates plus exemption from state income tax.
Current rates (CDs, Treasuries, and more) at Vanguard

There does seem to be a bump in CD interest rates this week, apparently in response to the .75% Fed interest rate hike last week. There appears to be more movement in the shorter term CD rates (1 month, 3 month, 6 month, 9 month, 1 year), but a slight uptick in CD rates for longer term rates. It is a pretty good bet that the Feds will increase rates significantly during the remainder of 2022, so by year end, I am expecting 3%+rates to be pretty common for 9 month and 1 year CDs, and I think 6 month CDs will be much closer to 3%. When I look at CD opportunities, I look up the banks credit rating and only use banks with at least an "A" rating. I prefer CDs that pay interest on a monthly basis, but those are not as plentiful compared to CDs that pay the interest at the maturity date.

The new (investor) interactive charts have less information. They don't have a volume bar chart underneath. Volume is also missing when you mouse over the graph.
The "old" interactive charts, if displaying a single ETF, would provide open, close, high, and low prices for the ETF when mousing over. That's missing in the "investor" charts.
The "old" interactive charts for ETFs offered windows smaller than a month (1, 5, 15 days), and depending on how small the window was, would display data at frequencies of 1, 5, 10, 15, and 30 minutes in addition to (or instead of) daily, weekly, and monthly.
So there's a fair amount of data that is lost when migrating from the "old" interactive charts to the "investor" ones. All that seems to be gained is being able to see the date windows without having to coax them to appear.
Using the date windows to actually input dates is quirky, old or new, but in different ways.
The new ("investor") charts default to "monthly" for short timeframes. When you set the frequency to daily and then try to display, say, 10/5/21 through 11/8/21, the chart flips the frequency back to monthly. Consequently it resets the dates to 10/29/21 (start) and 10/29/21 (end) - a single data point. These dates work okay with the "old" charts.
The "old" interactive charts quirks appear with even shorter timeframes, generally under a month. That's when the charts flip the granularity to minutes from days. That data seems flaky, but I haven't looked too closely at it.

@Sven, 5-yr TIPS coupon was specified as 0.125% in the auction announcement that I posted earlier (reposted below). So, my guess is that purchase price would be slightly below par to bump the real rate in the neighborhood of 0.54%.

I track FZDXX and it's 7 day yield just popped to 1.18% at Fido. Money Market rates are finally bumping up after last week's 75 bp hike.
With continued Fed hikes, should we expect to see 2% MMKT rates this summer?
And then could we expect to see close to 3% in 3Q 2022 after the Sept 21-22 Fed meeting....or are such expectations too high?

5-yr real rate is 0.54% now. What matters to buyers is its value on the auction day (Th). The CPI trend is up.

@yogibearbull, any updated yield and CPI on the upcoming 5-yr TIP auction? Still learning.

Chart for TOTR, BOND, FBND, TOTL using new M* Investor Interactive Charts (1-yr charts start at TOTR inception). Stockcharts doesn't recognize TOTR yet.

TCHP. Did you see the P/E on that bugger??????? 31+

Owning things like Microsoft, Apple, META and Tesla will cause a high P/E. I compared TCHP to a RYT, a popular Invesco Tech

ETF, and the P/E is similar. Of course DCA’ng in gradually during a falling equity market is different than buying all at once. And, since the fund doesn’t disclose holdings for 15 days, those P/Es have come down some.
BTW, I wouldn’t recommend TCHP or anything else I might own or contemplate to anyone else.

*****Gotcha.
