In these later stages, the risk of inflation becomes pronounced enough to warrant including tools that provide direct inflation protection. For these investors, our Target Retirement Funds aim to balance the need to preserve and grow capital with the need to preserve purchasing power. Figure 2. The Vanguard glide path adds ST TIPS starting at five years before the target date to offer stronger inflation protection when investors are most likely to need it.
Target retirement allocations are based on a projected age of Source: Vanguard. Because inflation-protected securities adjust to changes in inflation quickly, TIPS are an appropriate option for investors seeking to protect a portion of a portfolio's real value during retirement. For example, as shown in Figure 3 , ST TIPS have historically displayed a meaningful correlation to expected inflation inflation the market anticipates and, more importantly, a high correlation to unexpected inflation inflation that exceeds market expectations and can derail retirement plans with less duration risk than longer-term TIPS.
In our ongoing review of the Target Retirement strategy, our team has considered including other inflation-hedging asset classes, including commodities and real estate investment trusts REITs. These reviews consistently concluded that ST TIPS provided a higher correlation to both expected and unexpected inflation with significantly less volatility compared with both commodities and REITs—both traits that are desirable to investors in the late stages of the investment life cycle.
Note: Inflation data is based on the University of Michigan: Inflation Expectation-Consumer Price Index, which measures the median expected price change for the next 12 months using a survey of consumers. Expected inflation is calculated using correlation of survey results versus asset returns 12 month rolling. Unexpected inflation is captured using the same asset return data versus the difference between survey results and CPI. While inflation concerns have rightfully crept back into the retirement narrative after a long hiatus, we hope that our investors can rest soundly knowing that Vanguard Target Retirement Funds have always been built to address inflation risk across the glide path through an age-appropriate level of exposure to asset classes that exhibit both short-and long-term inflation-hedging properties.
These fluctuations, when unhedged, account for a significant portion of the overall volatility of the asset class. We believe our hedging is critical to maintaining the risk and return properties of the asset class. Thomas, and Nathan Zahm, Email Share Print selected.

More persistent wage-and shelter-based inflation should remain elevated given our employment outlook and will be the critical determinant in central banks' adjustment of policy.
Notes: Data and Vanguard forecasts are for year-on-year percentage changes in the core Consumer Price Index, which excludes volatile food and energy prices. Actual inflation is through September for the U. Vanguard forecasts are presented thereafter. Sources: Vanguard calculations, using data from Bloomberg and Refinitiv. With valuations that have exceeded pre-pandemic highs, elevated inflation and the prospect of policy normalization are creating a fragile backdrop for markets.
Our long-term outlook for global asset returns is guarded. This is especially true for equities, where high valuations and lower economic growth rates mean we expect lower returns over the next decade. Median volatility is the 50th percentile of an asset class's distribution of annualized standard deviation of returns.
Asset class returns do not take into account management fees and expenses, nor do they reflect the effect of taxes. Returns do reflect reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. Indexes are unmanaged; therefore, direct investment is not possible.

The estimates cover the period beginning from January for the U. Sources: Vanguard calculations, based on Robert Shiller's website, at aida. Despite the global divergence in health and economic outcomes, we believe that there is a high probability that international equities will outperform U.
The broad emerging-market valuation appears stretched based on its relationships with aggregate inflation, real U. We expect value stocks to outperform by as much as the historical equity risk premium over the next decade, mostly because of a decay in the overvaluation of growth stocks, not because the "fair value of value" has returned to historical norms.
For fixed income, low by historical standards interest rates mean that investors should expect lower returns. However, the fact that rates have risen modestly since means that our outlook is commensurately higher. Against that backdrop of gradually rising rates, the fixed income return outlook in the next decade has been ticking up from last year's projections.
