There is a unique opportunity right now with TIPS bonds going out 15 to 30 years. TIPS are US Treasury bonds designed to protect investors from inflation while providing a return above inflation. Right now, the longer-dated TIPS bonds have real yields approaching 3%. This means you will get a real yield about 3% above inflation.

A close-to-3 % real yield available now is very rare. The last time you could get this was in the early 2000s and briefly around 2008.
