Answer #1

Answer-

Treasury Inflation Protection securities ( TIPS).

TIPS are issued with maturities of 5, 10, and 30 years and are low-risk investment as they are backed by the U.S. government. The key feature of TIPS is the inflation adjustment.

Treasury bills are issued with maturities of 4 weeks, 8 weeks, 13 weeks, 26 weeks, and 52 weeks.
Treasury notes have maturities of 2, 3, 5, 7 and 10 years. and
Treasury bonds have maturities between 10 and 30 years.

However the TIPS have greater duration than regular treasuries. As TIPS are hedge against inflation so they have higher duration.
