About WATPX
Western Asset Inflation Indexed Plus Bond Fund Class FI is a mutual fund with a primary focus on protecting investors from the erosive effects of inflation. Its core strategy centers around investing at least 80% of its assets in inflation-indexed fixed income securities, with a significant emphasis—no less than 70% of assets—on U.S. Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS). This approach anchors the fund's portfolio in assets designed to preserve purchasing power and deliver real returns over time. The fund may invest in securities of varied maturities, while generally aligning its interest rate sensitivity with its benchmark, the Bloomberg U.S. Treasury TIPS index, by maintaining its duration within three years of the index. Managed by Franklin Templeton Investments, this fund serves both institutional and individual investors seeking capital preservation and a total return profile linked to actual inflation outcomes. Western Asset Inflation Indexed Plus Bond Fund Class FI plays a vital role in inflation-aware, fixed income portfolios and often appeals to investors looking to diversify traditional bond holdings with instruments whose value adjusts for inflationary pressures.
