I mean, that or TIPS / I-Bonds, if you really care about inflation.

There's a lot of instruments out there.

The amount you can buy for I-bonds is too small for a retirement portfolio (which, i think needs to have a total asset of around $1million to make retirement self-sufficient).

So buy TIPS.

I-Bonds are super-safe since they have a minimum (currently a 0% minimum) rate. TIPS can go negative during periods of deflation. But if you actually want an inflation hedge, then TIPS exist for that reason.
