About ABNYX

AB Bond Inflation Strategy Advisor Class is a fixed income mutual fund designed to provide effective inflation protection with enhanced yield potential compared to portfolios invested solely in inflation-indexed securities. The fund primarily invests in Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS) and may also use derivatives, such as total return swaps linked to TIPS, to gain indirect TIPS exposure. Its core-plus approach extends beyond Treasuries, selectively including other high-quality fixed income securities to further diversify and potentially boost income. The strategy manages interest rate risk by maintaining a shorter duration benchmark, typically focusing on maturities within the 1-10 year range, which is less sensitive to interest rate fluctuations. This makes the asset suitable for investors concerned about preserving purchasing power in varying inflation environments. The portfolio is actively managed by a dedicated team that emphasizes a rigorous, repeatable investment process, reflecting its role as a core holding within inflation-aware investment strategies in the broader fixed income market.
