About APODX
American Century Short Duration Inflation Protection Bond Fund R6 Class is an actively managed mutual fund focused on **total return** with a mandate to **protect against U.S. inflation**. The portfolio normally invests at least 80% of net assets in **inflation-linked debt securities**, with an emphasis on **short-duration** exposure to limit interest rate sensitivity. The strategy centers on **Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS)**, tying principal and coupon adjustments to the Consumer Price Index, and targets the **one- to five-year** segment that aligns with its short-term inflation-protected bond focus. By maintaining shorter duration, the fund aims to help preserve purchasing power while moderating volatility associated with rising real rates. It operates within the **Short-Term Inflation-Protected Bond** category, reflecting its concentration in U.S. government inflation-indexed debt and related high-quality instruments. The fund’s role in the market is to provide a **hedge against inflation** within fixed income allocations, serving institutions and retirement plans that seek inflation-aware ballast without extending maturity risk. Key characteristics include professional active management, a benchmark tied to short-maturity TIPS, and a disciplined risk posture around interest rate and inflation dynamics.
