About FIBLX

American Funds Inflation Linked Bond Fund 529-F-2 is an open-end mutual fund specializing in inflation-protected fixed-income securities. Its primary objective is to safeguard investors against inflation while providing a source of income, achieved mainly by investing at least 80% of its assets in inflation-linked bonds issued by both U.S. and foreign governments, as well as select agencies and corporations. The fund maintains a high allocation to U.S. Treasury securities, particularly Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS), and allocates a smaller percentage to corporate bonds, non-U.S. government securities, and asset-backed obligations. With a typical effective duration around 5.3 years, it seeks to balance inflation protection with interest rate sensitivity. Notably, it serves investors seeking to preserve purchasing power, especially in tax-advantaged 529 college savings plans. The fund features annual dividend distributions and a competitive expense ratio, highlighting its focus on efficient inflation protection and prudent income generation in the broader fixed-income market.
