About APOAX
American Century Short Duration Inflation Protection Bond Fund A is a mutual fund that pursues total return through a strategy designed to protect against U.S. inflation. It primarily invests in a portfolio of short-duration Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS), which adjust principal and interest payments based on changes in the Consumer Price Index to help preserve purchasing power. The fund maintains a focus on short-duration securities to manage interest rate risk, with a weighted average life to maturity around 3.87 years and effective duration approximately 2.70 years. In addition to TIPS, the portfolio includes diversified holdings such as corporate bonds, securitized debt, and other investment-grade securities, with significant allocation to U.S. government issues comprising the majority of assets. This multisector approach allows for opportunistic investments aimed at enhancing returns while prioritizing inflation protection and risk management. Distributions are generally declared quarterly from net income. Managed by experienced professionals at American Century Investments, the fund serves investors seeking to hedge against inflation in fixed-income portfolios within the short-term inflation-protected bond category, benchmarked against the Bloomberg U.S. 1-5 Year TIPS Index.
