Investing - Theory, News & General • Are TIPS funds useless?

$

Looking back at most TIPS etfs, they all experienced negative downturns due to rising interest rates, albeit far less than total bond funds like BND, but it got me thinking, if there ever is rising inflation again, the feds will most likely raise rates again like this time, perhaps not as fast or high, but this will still cause negative affects on bond funds. the rate of return achieved by the TIPS funds was practically negated shortly after from the rising rates, so what was the point , why not just hold BND?
Because it is more volatile than VIPSX ?
Not sure I understand; you say it yourself.
