About AUNTX

AB Municipal Bond Inflation Strategy 2 is a mutual fund designed to provide investors with a combination of tax-efficient income and protection against inflation. The fund primarily invests in high-quality short- and intermediate-term municipal bonds, which are generally exempt from federal income taxes, making it particularly attractive for investors seeking tax-advantaged income. To address inflation risk, the strategy incorporates inflation hedging by entering into inflation swap agreements or investing in other inflation-protected instruments, distinguishing itself from conventional municipal bond funds. This fund seeks to maximize real after-tax returns for investors subject to federal taxes, while maintaining a careful balance to avoid undue risk to principal. The investment approach is systematic and data-driven, focusing on flexibility and nimble allocation within the municipal bond universe. Additionally, the fund may allocate up to 20% of its assets to below investment grade securities, providing an opportunity for enhanced yield. Its structure aims to bolster after-tax returns compared to alternatives like Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS), especially during inflationary periods, while managing interest rate risk through a portfolio of relatively short average durations.
