About AIARX

The American Century Inflation-Adjusted Bond Fund R Class is a mutual fund focused on delivering total returns while helping protect against inflation. This fund primarily invests in inflation-linked debt securities, with a significant portion of its assets allocated to U.S. Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS) and other government-issued inflation-indexed bonds. By adjusting principal values in line with the Consumer Price Index, these securities are structured to maintain purchasing power during periods of rising prices, addressing a core concern for retirement plans and long-term savers. The portfolio's holdings are diversified across 169 fixed income securities, with the top ten accounting for around 36% of assets. The fund maintains high credit quality and moderate interest rate sensitivity, and typically does not invest in equities or foreign bonds. Designed for employer-sponsored retirement plans, this share class allows groups to leverage institutional pricing and automated investment services. As an inflation-protected bond fund, it plays a specialized role in the market, serving as a hedge against inflationary risks while aiming for steady, real returns in both stable and fluctuating economic environments.
