Description

The American Funds Inflation Linked Bond Fund - Class F-1 maintains a dual objective: to provide both inflation protection and consistent income. It accomplishes this by allocating its capital primarily to inflation-indexed securities. A minimum of 80% of the fund's assets are normally invested in inflation-linked bonds, originating from a diverse range of issuers such as domestic and international governments, their affiliated agencies, and corporate entities. These bonds are engineered to safeguard against inflation; their structure links both principal and interest payments to an inflation index, ensuring that their value and payouts automatically adapt to changes in the broader price level.
