Book Description
In January 1997, the U.S. Treasury started issuing Treasury Inflation-Protection Securities (TIPS; hereafter TIPS and indexed bonds interchangeably) and, as of September 2002, a total of ten issues were being traded on the market, while one issue had already matured. The purpose of this paper is to attempt an evaluation of indexed bonds based on the record of five and a half years of market trading in TIPS, and to present the results as a reference for the issue of similar securities by the Japanese government in the future. The results of this paper are as follows: (1) Real interest rates are relatively stable and remain near the 4% mark. The 30 year bond is even more stable. (2) The expected inflation rate is more closely linked to realized CPI than to the real yield. However, the expected inflation rate is far more stable and its fluctuations smaller. In particular, the 30 year bond is steady, near the 2% mark. (3) While the economic information derived from the 10 year bond is strongly influenced by short-term economic fluctuations, the economic information derived from the 30 year bond is generally unresponsive to short-term economic fluctuations. (4) Examination of the derived information using econometric methods indicates that useful economic information was obtained from the following indexed bonds in the secondary markets: Series Three and Four 10 year bonds. Information included in the expected inflation rate was useful for the Series Three and Four 10 year bonds. Hence, while a total of eleven indexed bonds have been issued, very few of them have proven to be truly useful. These useful bonds turn out to have fair initial conditions, continuous arbitrages with the nominal bonds, and active trades in the secondary markets.

Book Description
A challenge faced by investors as interest rates eventually rise in response to inflationary pressure is how they maintain value and purchasing power. Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS) are a debt instrument offered to protect against inflation. This article describes TIPS, reviews their risk return profile, explains tax considerations, provides several numerical examples, and briefly discusses investment/portfolio factors. The tax treatment of TIPS consists of two components: (1) the taxation of semiannual interest payments, and (2) the taxation of inflation/deflation adjustments to principal. Because TIPS are issued at par and interest is unconditionally payable in cash at least annually at a single fixed rate (called qualified stated interest), they meet the criteria for the more simplified coupon bond method specified by the Treasury regulations. The tax implications negate some of the certainty of inflation protection if they are held in taxable accounts.

Book Description
The global market for inflation-indexed securities has ballooned in recent years, and this trend is set to continue. This book examines the rationale behind issuance and investment decisions, and details the issues facing anyone who designs indexed securities, illustrating them wherever possible with actual examples from the international capital markets. In particular, an extensive review of indexed debt markets throughout the world is provided - including for the first time, a comprehensive and consistent set of cash flow and price-yield equations for the instruments already in existence in the major bond markets - forming an important reference for those already experienced in the field, as well as practitioners and academics approaching the subject for the first time. The book also provides unique insight into the development of inflation-indexed derivative products, and the analytical tools required to value such instruments.
