About BFIAX

American Funds Inflation Linked Bond Fund Class A is a mutual fund that focuses on providing investors with inflation protection and income by investing primarily in inflation-linked bonds. Managed by Capital Research and Management Company, the fund allocates at least 80% of its assets to inflation-linked securities issued by the U.S. Treasury, foreign governments, agencies, and select corporations. Its holdings are primarily U.S. Treasury bonds and notes, complemented by corporate, asset-backed, and mortgage-backed securities, along with a small allocation to international government and agency debt. The fund is designed to help preserve purchasing power during inflationary periods, making it well-suited for investors seeking diversified fixed income exposure with an emphasis on inflation protection. With a minimum investment requirement of $250 and an expense ratio of 0.69%, it pays annual dividends and has maintained a broad asset base of over $13 billion. The fund’s risk and return profile is aligned with the inflation-protected bond category, serving as a stabilizing component in fixed income portfolios.
