About QCILPX

CREF Inflation-Linked Bond Account Class R2 is a variable annuity focused on fixed income, with a mandate to deliver a long-term rate of return that outpaces inflation. Its primary investment strategy centers on inflation-indexed bonds, particularly U.S. Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS), with at least 80% of assets typically allocated to these securities. The account may also invest in inflation-linked bonds issued by U.S. government agencies, corporations, and foreign governments. This approach is designed to help preserve purchasing power for participants, especially those whose financial goals are sensitive to inflationary pressures, such as retirement planning. With significant net assets and a benchmark against the Bloomberg US Treasury Inflation Notes 1-10 Year Index, the account plays a specialized role in retirement portfolios by providing exposure to inflation-protected fixed income. Its structure allows participants to potentially convert accumulations into lifetime income, supporting long-term financial security in environments of changing price levels.
