About RILBX
American Funds Inflation Linked Bond Fund R-2 is a mutual fund focused on providing both inflation protection and income through strategic investments in inflation-linked securities. The fund primarily invests at least 80% of its assets in inflation-indexed bonds issued by the U.S. Treasury, non-U.S. governments, and select corporations. These securities are designed to help preserve purchasing power by adjusting both principal and interest payments in response to inflation, as measured by government indexes. In addition to U.S. Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS), the portfolio includes some exposure to corporate bonds, asset- and mortgage-backed obligations, and securities from non-U.S. government agencies. Managed by Capital Research and Management Company, the fund emphasizes high credit quality, with most holdings rated AA- or better at the time of purchase. It aims to serve investors seeking diversified exposure to inflation-protected fixed income instruments, playing a significant role in portfolios that are risk-aware and focused on mitigating the erosive effects of inflation on real returns.
