Highlights
A core inflation protection, or real return, strategy that invests primarily in high - quality inflation - linked bonds, including Treasury Inflation - Protected Securities (TIPS).
Targets a portfolio that offers liquidity, low credit risk, and a direct link to inflation - which can help investors keep pace with the rate at which costs are rising.
Can contribute to overall portfolio diversification because other financial assets, such as stocks or nominal bonds, may underperform in periods of higher inflation.
Use of a PIMCO managed commingled fund within the portfolio allows for greater diversification potential than smaller separate accounts could otherwise achieve.
