Fund info

BlackRock Inflation Protected Bond Fund Institutional Shares is a mutual fund specializing in inflation-protected fixed income securities. Its primary purpose is to provide investors with capital appreciation and income that adjusts in response to inflation, aiming to preserve purchasing power over time. The fund invests at least 80% of its assets in inflation-indexed bonds, with an emphasis on issues from both the U.S. Treasury—such as Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS)—and other sovereign governments or their agencies. This portfolio construction exposes the fund predominantly to government debt, and its holdings are actively managed to balance credit quality and interest rate sensitivity, generally scoring high in both areas. The fund is widely utilized by institutional investors seeking diversified exposure to the inflation-protected bond sector. It is recognized for its significant asset base, consistent with broader investor interest in mitigating inflation risk within fixed income allocations. With a long-term performance record and regular benchmarking against relevant indexes, the fund plays a key role in portfolio strategies seeking to align fixed income returns with changes in consumer prices.
