About QCILFX
CREF Inflation-Linked Bond Account Class R4 is a variable annuity product designed to provide a long-term rate of return that outpaces inflation, primarily through investments in inflation-indexed fixed income securities. Its key focus is on U.S. Treasury Inflation-Indexed Securities, and under normal circumstances, it allocates at least 80% of its assets to these instruments. The remainder of the portfolio may include inflation-indexed bonds issued or guaranteed by U.S. government agencies, corporations, and selected foreign issuers. The account’s primary purpose is to help protect investors’ purchasing power by offering exposure to bonds that adjust for inflation, making it especially relevant for participants seeking income stability in retirement. Notably, the account offers the flexibility to convert accumulations into lifetime income streams. The Class R4 share class is structured for cost efficiency, boasting some of the lowest expense ratios among variable annuities. This makes it a distinctive choice for retirement plans aiming to manage costs while delivering inflation protection and competitive performance within the fixed income space.
