About CNLCX

American Funds Inflation Linked Bond Fund 529-C is a mutual fund designed to provide investors with both inflation protection and income through its primary focus on inflation-linked securities, particularly U.S. Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS). The fund invests at least 80% of its assets in these inflation-sensitive bonds, helping to preserve purchasing power by adjusting payouts in line with inflation rates. With a diversified portfolio, it also includes holdings in corporate bonds, asset-backed, mortgage-backed, and non-U.S. government securities, though the majority remain in U.S. government bonds. The fund is structured for use in 529 education savings plans, offering a minimum initial investment of $250, and is open to new investors. It employs a level-load fee structure without an up-front sales charge but does assess ongoing expenses. Regular income distributions and capital gains, when applicable, are paid annually. Managed by a team backed by extensive experience and resources, the fund plays a significant role in portfolios aiming to balance income generation and inflation risk mitigation, especially for clients planning future educational expenses or those seeking more predictable real returns in inflationary environments.
