Marketwatch thinks Vanguard's [profile] fans may like the firm's new TIPS ETF, but says it deviates from the investment strategy that the mutual fund manager claims works best in the specific market.

Kenneth Volpert, head of Vanguard's taxable bond group, says that although active ETFs used to be the right move, "indexing makes more sense now."
