What is a better investment than I bonds?

TIPs offer comparable inflation protection relative to I Bonds at higher yields,

with quite a bit of interest rate risk. Both asset classes are good investments, but

TIPs are slightly better, due to their higher yields

Is there any downside to I bonds?

be redeemed for one year after purchase and their early redemption penalties. If you

redeem your I bond within five years of purchasing it, you’ll lose the last three months

of interest the bond earn
