Overview
The PIMCO 15+ Year U.S. TIPS Index Exchange-Traded Fund, identified by the ticker LTPZ, operates within the US Bonds - TIPS category where ETFValuer tracks a total of 6 funds. Issued by PIMCO, the fund holds $708 million in assets under management and trades at a price of $48.28. It currently holds an overall rank of #410 out of 458 tracked ETFs across all categories and has received an ETFValuer grade of D with a score of 42.8 out of 100. The fund charges an expense ratio of 0.2% while offering a dividend yield of 5.23%. The combination of a mid-tier asset size and a low ranking suggests limited adoption relative to the broader universe of tracked funds. These metrics collectively define the fund's current standing as a lower-ranked option within its specific sector.
Recent performance data shows a negative trend across nearly all measured time horizons for the PIMCO 15+ Year U.S. TIPS Index ETF. Over the last day, the fund declined by 0.49%, followed by a 1.11% drop over one week and a 3.13% decrease over the past month. This downward momentum continued into the longer term, with returns of -3.40% over three months, -3.71% over six months, and -2.99% year-to-date. The one-year return stands at -1.32%, while the three-year annualized return is significantly lower at -5.56%. The data indicates a consistent pattern of losses that has persisted from the short-term daily fluctuations through the multi-year period.
This fund carries a volatility label of Low despite exhibiting a high beta of 1.95, indicating significant sensitivity to market movements relative to its benchmark. The Sharpe ratio of -0.69 reflects a negative risk-adjusted return profile over the measured period. A maximum drawdown of -15.60% highlights the potential for substantial capital erosion during market downturns. The combination of a high beta and a negative Sharpe ratio suggests the fund has experienced pronounced declines without sufficient compensation for the risk taken. While the volatility label is classified as Low, the high beta and deep drawdown imply that the fund can still suffer severe losses during adverse market conditions.

CBOE Volatility Index (VIX): 18.70 (as of 2026-07-23) — A real-time gauge of expected S&P 500 volatility over the next 30 days — useful context for this fund’s own volatility label.

LTPZ Liquidity, Domicile & Tax Treatment
Liquidity: Quoted bid/ask spread is — and average daily volume is 138K/day. Tighter spreads and higher volume mean lower round-trip trading costs; this is a live-market snapshot and can widen during volatile sessions. AUM of $708M provides ample scale, supporting tight spreads and issuer commitment to keep the fund open.
Domicile & tax treatment: LTPZ is a US-domiciled, SEC-registered ('40 Act) exchange-traded fund. Dividends and capital gains distributions are reported to US investors on Form 1099-DIV, and the fund is not subject to the PFIC reporting or UCITS-specific rules that apply to Irish- or Luxembourg-domiciled funds. Non-US investors should note that US-domiciled ETFs are generally subject to 30% US withholding tax on dividends (unless reduced by treaty) and to US estate tax exposure on the position — Irish-domiciled UCITS ETFs tracking the same index often avoid both, which is why non-US residents frequently prefer the UCITS equivalent where one exists. This is general information, not tax advice — consult a tax professional for your situation.
