About APODX
American Century Short Duration Inflation Protection Bond Fund R6 Class is a mutual fund designed to preserve purchasing power by investing primarily in a portfolio of short-duration Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS). These TIPS adjust principal and interest payments based on changes in the U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI), offering protection against inflation while maintaining shorter maturities typically between one and five years to limit interest rate sensitivity. The fund normally allocates at least 80% of its net assets to inflation-linked debt securities, focusing on investment-grade bonds issued mainly by the U.S. Treasury, with holdings concentrated in durations of 0-5 years. It benchmarks against the Bloomberg U.S. 1-5 Year Treasury Inflation Protected Securities Index and distributes income quarterly. Managed actively as part of a multisector approach, it emphasizes U.S. government securities to hedge against inflation and rising rates within the short-term inflation-protected bond category. Founded in 1976 and headquartered in Kansas City, Missouri, American Century Investments offers this R6 share class for institutional and qualified investors seeking low-volatility fixed income exposure.
