Summary

American Funds Inflation Linked Bond benefits from a skilled leader and robust team, but its emphasis on macro decisions, including bold rates calls and short credit positioning, make it less reliable than more straightforward inflation bond offerings. It earns a Morningstar Medalist Rating of Neutral for its cheapest share classes and Negative for its priciest shares.
