About QCILRX

CREF Inflation-Linked Bond Account R1 is a variable annuity designed to provide a long-term rate of return that outpaces inflation by primarily investing in inflation-indexed bonds. Its principal strategy involves allocating at least 80% of its assets to U.S. Treasury Inflation-Indexed Securities, such as Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS), which adjust their principal and interest with changes in the U.S. Consumer Price Index. The account may also include other inflation-indexed bonds issued or guaranteed by both domestic and foreign governments and agencies, as well as select corporate issuers. While its core exposure is to the U.S. Treasury inflation-linked sector, a portion of assets may be invested in mortgage-backed securities, U.S. agency obligations, and short-term instruments to provide diversification and manage liquidity needs. This account plays a significant role for participants seeking to preserve purchasing power while pursuing stable income, particularly in periods of rising inflation. As part of the College Retirement Equities Fund (CREF) suite, the account also offers the ability for participants to convert accumulated funds into lifetime income streams, addressing retirement income needs through inflation-sensitive investments.
