About APORX

The American Century Short Duration Inflation Protection Bond Fund Class R is a mutual fund specializing in short-term, inflation-linked debt securities. Its primary objective is to help investors protect the purchasing power of their capital in environments affected by rising U.S. inflation. The fund achieves this by allocating at least 80% of its assets to inflation-protected securities, predominantly investing in U.S. Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS) with maturities between one and five years. These instruments adjust both principal value and interest payments in response to changes in the Consumer Price Index, offering a safeguard against the erosive effects of inflation. Catering primarily to retirement plans, this fund is suited for investors seeking a balance between stability and inflation protection within the fixed income segment of the market. With diversified holdings largely consisting of U.S. government-backed bonds, it combines relative safety with the goal of producing real, inflation-adjusted returns. The fund plays a significant role in diversified portfolios looking to mitigate inflation risk, especially in periods of uncertain or accelerating price growth.
