About WAFRX
Western Asset Inflation Indexed Plus Bond Fund Class R is a mutual fund specializing in inflation-protected fixed income investments. Its primary goal is to maximize total return and preserve capital by investing predominantly in bonds whose principal and interest payments are indexed to inflation, with a major emphasis on U.S. Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS). The fund is actively managed, utilizing a process that combines macroeconomic analysis with bottom-up security selection to identify value opportunities within the inflation-linked bond universe. Holdings are largely concentrated in U.S. government-issued inflation-indexed securities, with additional allocations to investment-grade credit, emerging market debt, and mortgage-backed securities for diversification. The fund’s structure aims to help investors mitigate the erosive effects of inflation on purchasing power, making it particularly relevant for those seeking to protect long-term capital in inflationary environments. Benchmarking itself against the Bloomberg U.S. Treasury Inflation-Linked Bond Index, the fund’s performance reflects both its policy of inflation protection and disciplined risk management. This positions Western Asset Inflation Indexed Plus Bond Fund Class R as a significant player within the inflation-protected bond sector of the market.
