Bond Funds That Have Offered Some Inflation Protection

Observant1
in Fund Discussions
"The past decade took fixed-income investors on a wild ride, from years of low inflation and rock-bottom yields
to a sharp inflationary spike and the most aggressive rate-hiking cycle in a generation. So, how did bond funds
actually fare over those 10 years? They’re supposed to offer a relatively safe haven from market volatility.
But did they protect investors against inflation?"

    As long as the debt is spiraling, rates are rising, and the oil war continues, I'll be sticking close to USFR. I see no reason to expect that what happened over the last ten years will have anything to do with what happens over the next ten years.
