About Western Asset Inflation-Linked Income Fd
Financial Services · NYSE
Western Asset Inflation-Linked Income Fund is a diversified closed-end management investment company that seeks current income, with capital appreciation as a secondary investment objective. The fund’s common shares trade on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol WIA, and its investment program is centered on inflation-linked fixed income securities.
Under normal market conditions and at the time of purchase, the fund invests at least 80% of total managed assets in inflation-linked securities. It also invests at least 60% of total managed assets in U.S. Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities, commonly known as TIPS. The fund may allocate a portion of managed assets to non-U.S. dollar investments, giving the portfolio exposure beyond U.S. inflation-linked government securities while remaining tied to an income-oriented mandate.
As a closed-end fund, Western Asset Inflation-Linked Income Fund has a fixed pool of common shares that trade in the secondary market. Its share price can differ from net asset value, and closed-end fund shares may trade at premiums or discounts to the value of the underlying portfolio. The fund has reported distributions under a managed distribution policy, including regular monthly distributions and, at times, special distributions tied to portfolio income, accumulated income, capital gains, and tax accounting records.
The fund is associated with the Western Asset fund family and has appeared in distribution announcements issued by Franklin Templeton and Legg Mason Partners Fund Advisor, LLC, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Franklin Resources, Inc. Its public-company profile is therefore defined by closed-end fund mechanics, inflation-linked securities exposure, shareholder distributions, net asset value considerations, and trustee-governance matters.
