About RILEX
The American Funds Inflation Linked Bond Fund Class R-5 is a mutual fund designed to provide investors with both inflation protection and current income. Its strategy revolves around investing a significant portion—at least 80%—of its assets in inflation-linked bonds, primarily issued by the U.S. Treasury but also including select non-U.S. government securities, agencies, corporations, and asset-backed instruments. These bonds are distinct in that their principal and interest payments adjust in line with inflation indices, helping preserve purchasing power during periods of rising prices. The fund plays a key role for investors who seek to mitigate the impact of inflation on fixed income portfolios, making it especially relevant during inflationary cycles. Notably, the portfolio maintains a substantial allocation—close to 90%—in U.S. Treasury bonds and notes, ensuring high credit quality and low default risk. With a robust asset base and a disciplined, research-driven management approach, this fund is a significant option in the inflation-protected bond fund category, serving retirement plans and investors who prioritize long-term capital preservation against inflationary pressures.
