About ABNZX

AB Bond Inflation Strategy Fund Class Z is an actively managed mutual fund focused on providing investors with effective inflation protection and steady income. The fund primarily invests in Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS), which adjust their principal value based on changes in the U.S. Consumer Price Index, directly tying returns to inflation. In addition to holding TIPS directly, the fund may gain indirect exposure through derivatives such as total return swaps, and selectively incorporate other fixed-income securities to enhance yield potential beyond TIPS-only strategies. The fund maintains a shorter duration benchmark—typically less than four years—which helps limit interest rate risk, making it well-suited for investors seeking inflation-hedging with moderate volatility. Holdings are diversified across numerous securities, but concentrated exposure to U.S. government bonds and related instruments is a primary characteristic. AB Bond Inflation Strategy Fund Class Z plays a significant role for institutional and individual investors aiming to preserve purchasing power during inflationary periods, while maintaining a high credit quality portfolio managed by AllianceBernstein since its inception in 2014.
