About APOCX
American Century Short Duration Inflation Protection Bond Fund C Class is an actively managed mutual fund focused on preserving purchasing power and delivering total return through exposure to U.S. inflation-linked debt securities. The portfolio normally invests at least 80% of assets in Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities, emphasizing short maturities to reduce interest-rate sensitivity while maintaining direct linkage to the Consumer Price Index adjustments embedded in TIPS principal and coupon payments. The strategy targets the short end of the inflation-protected bond market, aligning with benchmarks composed of one- to five-year U.S. Treasury inflation-protected securities, and seeks to hedge both inflation risk and the impact of rising real rates. By concentrating on government-backed securities with CPI-indexed features, the fund plays a specialized role in fixed income allocations as a tool for inflation mitigation and duration control. It is positioned within the inflation-protected bond category and is designed for investors seeking a dedicated inflation hedge within a diversified bond sleeve without extending materially into longer duration exposure.
Performance
APOCX had a total return of 4.42% in the past year, including dividends. Since the fund's inception, the average annual return has been 3.90%.
