ABOUT THIS FUND
Northern Trust 2046 Inflation-Linked Distributing Ladder ETF is an exchange-traded fund designed to provide periodic inflation-linked distributions through investments in U.S. Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS), consisting of income and/or principal through 2046. The fund uses a laddered portfolio of TIPS with staggered maturities, generally investing across approximately equal proportions of maturity “rungs.” As individual securities mature, the fund generally distributes the proceeds to shareholders rather than reinvesting them in later maturities, providing monthly income and annual distributions of principal over the fund’s targeted time horizon. The strategy is designed for investors seeking inflation protection and a structured spend-down approach.
