About ACITX

The American Century Inflation Adjusted Bond Fund Investor Class is a mutual fund focused on providing investors with total return and protection against inflation. Its primary investment strategy centers on inflation-indexed securities, particularly U.S. Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS), which are designed to adjust both interest payments and principal value in line with changes in the Consumer Price Index, helping to preserve purchasing power during periods of rising inflation. The fund typically invests at least 80% of its assets in these inflation-adjusted debt securities, including those issued by the U.S. Treasury, government agencies, and select corporate and securitized issuers. Key features of the fund include a relatively moderate expense ratio, a history dating back to 1997, and a portfolio managed to balance risk and return, with most holdings rated investment-grade. The fund is categorized within the inflation-protected bond sector, making it significant for investors seeking to mitigate the impact of inflation within a diversified fixed-income portfolio. Regular income is distributed, and the fund’s credit quality and interest rate sensitivity profiles are managed to align with its inflation-protection mandate, supporting its role as a stabilizing asset in a range of market environments.
