Investing - Theory, News & General • Re: Pros and Cons of STRIPS vs. TIPS

I would use TIPS if wanted protection from unexpected inflation, or if I wanted a stream of inflation protected cash flows in a laddered format.

I’d use strips or zero coupon bonds if my objective was to have a maximum hedge effect against a major economic downturn induced market correction or crash.

I don’t see any rational benefit to having a known nominal return.
