Not exactly what you're looking for, but in the US I series bonds are currently paying >7%. The biggest downside is you have to hold them for a year. The other issue is you're limited to buying $10k in a calendar year.

Currently paying. It is a variable interest rate, and it would behoove you to assume that if a treasury is paying 7%, then real inflation is much more. Hence the SP500 returning 30%.

Sure, but if you're looking for the lowest risk thing that's paying at least CPI inflation. A lot better than cash under the mattress (or a savings account for that matter...)
