About FILBX
The American Funds Inflation Linked Bond Fund (Class F-3) is a mutual fund focused on delivering both inflation protection and income for investors through targeted exposure to inflation-linked securities. Managed by Capital Research and Management Company, the fund primarily invests at least 80% of its net assets in inflation-linked bonds issued by U.S. and international governments, government agencies, and corporations. This strategy makes the fund particularly relevant for individuals and institutions seeking to preserve purchasing power during periods of rising inflation. The portfolio is largely composed of U.S. Treasury securities—most notably Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS)—with the balance diversified across select corporate and non-U.S. government debt, asset-backed obligations, and mortgage-backed securities. The fund adheres to high credit quality, typically focusing on bonds rated Aa3/AA- or better at the time of purchase. It maintains a moderate effective duration of about 5.3 years, reflecting sensitivity to interest rates while balancing return potential and risk. With a longstanding management pedigree dating back to 2012 and over $13 billion in assets, the fund plays a significant role in the inflation-protected bond sector. Its low expense ratio and annual dividend distribution are designed to appeal to those focused on cost efficiency and stable income within the fixed income universe.
