About BFIGX
American Funds Inflation Linked Bond Fund Class F-2 is a diversified mutual fund primarily focused on providing both inflation protection and income. Its central strategy is to invest at least 80% of its assets in inflation-linked bonds, which are structured to adjust the principal and interest payments in line with changes in consumer price indices, helping to preserve investors’ real purchasing power. The fund allocates the vast majority of its portfolio to U.S. Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS), while also including a smaller proportion of non-U.S. sovereign, agency, and high-quality corporate inflation-linked fixed income instruments. It maintains a portfolio with moderate duration and credit risk, predominantly holding investment-grade securities with varying maturities. Managed by Capital Group, the fund also has the flexibility to use derivatives such as futures and swaps for efficient portfolio management. With its comprehensive approach, this fund plays a significant role for investors seeking a tool to mitigate the erosive effects of inflation within the fixed-income sector, especially during periods of heightened price pressure in the economy.
