About AUNOX

AB Municipal Bond Inflation Strategy Class 1 is a mutual fund designed primarily to provide investors with a tax-efficient means of hedging against inflation. The fund invests mainly in high-quality, short- and intermediate-term municipal bonds, emphasizing securities rated A or better, which generate interest income exempt from federal taxation. A unique aspect of the strategy is its use of inflation swap agreements and other inflation-protected instruments, giving the portfolio a built-in hedge against rising consumer prices while aiming to maximize real after-tax returns. With over 500 holdings and more than $1 billion in assets, the fund takes a diversified approach across numerous states and sectors, aligning with the "Muni National Short" category. Its portfolio maintains limited credit risk, with only a small allocation to below-investment-grade bonds. The strategy is managed by a data-driven team at AllianceBernstein and is structured to help investors manage volatility, generate monthly income, and mitigate the impact of inflation—making it a notable choice for those seeking stability and inflation protection in their fixed-income allocation.
