About QCILIX

CREF Inflation-Linked Bond Account R3 is a variable annuity account that primarily focuses on providing investors with a long-term rate of return that exceeds inflation by investing in inflation-indexed fixed income securities. The account predominantly allocates at least 80% of its assets to U.S. Treasury Inflation-Indexed Securities, better known as Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS). It may also invest in inflation-linked bonds from U.S. government agencies, U.S. corporations, as well as foreign governments and issuers, broadening its scope within the global fixed-income market. This approach is designed to help investors preserve purchasing power over time, making it particularly relevant for those seeking to hedge against inflation risk. The account manages a substantial asset base, with nearly $7.8 billion in net assets as of mid-2025, and maintains a low expense ratio, reflecting its focus on cost efficiency. CREF Inflation-Linked Bond Account R3 is a significant player in the inflation-protected bond sector, serving as an important tool for retirement and long-term income-focused investors seeking diversification and inflation mitigation in their portfolios.
