Novice to bonds here, do you have to constantly roll this to avoid the coupons and potential issues they might pose?

Hi Raghav. Thanks for writing in. I roll the future every quarter. Technically I should be watching for slight changes in the hedging ratios mid-roll, but in the real-world, it doesn't matter enough. The TIPS issue I buy and just let cook.

If you bought the TIPS issue and shorted the nominal bond, you wouldn't need to roll anything.

Thanks - have a great night,

Kev
