- PIMCO 1-5 Year U.S. TIPS Index Exchange-Traded Fund (STPZ) is an exchange-traded fund that seeks to provide total return that closely corresponds, before fees and expenses, to the total return of the ICE BofA 1-5 Year U.S. Inflation-Linked Treasury Index. The fund invests primarily in a portfolio comprised of U.S. Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS) with remaining maturities of at least one year and less than five years and at least $1 billion in outstanding face value; top holdings include United States Treasury Notes at 1.625%, 0.5%, 0.375%, and 2.125%, which collectively represent approximately 40% of the portfolio. It operates within the short-term inflation-protected bond segment, targeting institutional and retail investors seeking real return above inflation, capital preservation, and low volatility from short-maturity TIPS.
The fund forms part of PIMCO ETF Trust, a registered open-ended investment company domiciled in the United States with legal offices at c/o The Corporation Trust Company, 1209 Orange Street, Wilmington, Delaware 19801, and affiliated with PIMCO, whose headquarters are located at 650 Newport Center Drive, Newport Beach, California. Launched on August 20, 2009, STPZ trades on NYSE Arca under the ticker STPZ, with total net assets of approximately $450.69 million, a net expense ratio of 0.20%, and daily pricing. It maintains high credit quality with limited interest-rate sensitivity, focusing exclusively on U.S. government securities for geographic operations confined to the United States market.
Management is led by Matthew Dorsten since December 22, 2015, alongside Tanuj Dora and Daniel He since June 7, 2021. In recent years, the underlying index transitioned from the BofA Merrill Lynch 1-5 Year US Inflation-Linked Treasury Index to the ICE BofA equivalent following Intercontinental Exchange's 2017 acquisition of Bank of America Merrill Lynch's fixed income index platform, with reference data source changes effective September 30, 2017. The fund continues monthly dividend distributions, including declarations of $0.15 per share ex-dividend June 2, 2025, and $0.16 per share ex-dividend July 1, 2024, reflecting ongoing operational stability amid market momentum, such as reaching a 52-week high in recent trading. No major acquisitions, partnerships, or structural reorganizations specific to STPZ have been reported in the last 1-2 years.
