According to Columbia Management, the fund will invest in inflation-linked debt securities, commodity-linked investments, floating rate loans and other floating rate instruments to protect investor portfolios against inflation.
In addition, the fund may also invest in other types of securities such as equity, convertible, and other fixed income securities.
The fund will provide a diversified real return strategy which generates positive real returns that exceed the rate of inflation over the long term. The strategy will include an active investment process that uses multiple asset classes to manage the risks inherent in inflation.
Orhan Imer, co-manager of the fund, said: "Even in a low inflation environment, the negative, long-term effects of rising prices on purchasing power are still present. This strategy is designed to help investors with a long-term horizon to protect the purchasing power of their portfolio and generate real returns after inflation."
