Description
“Inflation” is a bond risk factor that captures the risk of a repricing in breakeven inflation assumptions.
The factor is proxied by going long a basket of Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS) and short a basket of nominally priced Treasury bonds with the goal of neutralizing much of the duration exposure of the factor.
