FIDPX is a fine fund mirroring TIP.

If you have a option I'd go with TIP over the mutual fund for the following reasons:

1) Owing an ETF you can buy/sell at any time during the trading day, a mutual fund only at the close.

2) Mutual funds have holding periods, typically the shortest is 30 days, couldn't find out what the period is for FIDPX vs. a two day ETF holding period.

3) Mutual funds are often discretionary which FIDPX is rather than following a formula. In my mind discretion means mistakes.

4) Mutual funds have higher expense fees.

The maturity breakdowns again are STIP 2+ years, TIP 7-10, LTPZ 15+. Of the three I use LTPZ for my STIP buy/sell signals. It turned first last week giving me the opportunity to catch 100% of the price movement on Friday.
