About ABNOX

AB Bond Inflation Strategy Class 1 is a mutual fund focused on providing investors with effective inflation protection through a diversified fixed income approach. The primary function of this fund is to maximize real return by investing predominantly in short- to intermediate-term debt securities whose values are explicitly linked to inflation measures, such as US Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS) and related instruments. Unlike portfolios that solely invest in TIPS, this strategy also allocates to non-Treasury sectors, enhancing its yield potential while closely managing interest-rate risk by maintaining a relatively short average portfolio duration, typically below four years. By blending direct TIPS holdings with positions in other inflation-sensitive bonds and carefully utilizing derivatives, AB Bond Inflation Strategy Class 1 seeks to deliver stable, inflation-adjusted returns in a variety of market environments. This fund is commonly used by investors and institutions aiming to preserve purchasing power amid rising consumer prices, making it a notable tool for addressing inflation risk within a broader portfolio allocation. The fund leverages the resources and research capabilities of a dedicated fixed-income team to continually adapt to shifts in interest rates, inflation trends, and credit market conditions.
