BlackRock Inflation Protected Bond Instl

Ticker: BPRIX


Investment Objective
The portfolio seeks to maximize real return, consistent with preservation of real capital and prudent investment management.

Investment Strategy
In pursuit of its goal, the fund normally invests at least 80% of its assets in inflation-indexed bonds of varying maturities issued by the U.S. and non-U.S. governments, their agencies or instrumentalities, and U.S. and non-U.S. corporations. Inflation-indexed bonds are fixed income securities that are structured to provide protection against inflation. The value of the bond's principal or the interest income paid on the bond is adjusted to track changes in an official inflation measure.
