Fund Summary

The fund seeks to provide inflation protection and income by investing primarily in inflation linked securities. Normally, at least 80% of the fund's assets will be invested in inflation linked bonds issued by U.S. and non-U.S. governments, their agencies or instrumentalities, and corporations. Inflation linked bonds are structured to protect against inflation by linking the bond's principal and interest payments to an inflation index so that principal and interest adjust to reflect changes in the index.

Morningstar Style Box

Morningstar Category

While the investment objective stated in a fund's prospectus may or may not reflect how the fund actually invests, the Morningstar category is assigned based on the underlying securities in each portfolio. Morningstar categories help investors and investment professionals make meaningful comparisons between funds. The categories make it easier to build well-diversified portfolios, assess potential risk, and identify top-performing funds. We place funds in a given category based on their portfolio statistics and compositions over the past three years. If the fund is new and has no portfolio history, we estimate where it will fall before giving it a more permanent category assignment. When necessary, we may change a category assignment based on recent changes to the portfolio.
