About AIAVX

The American Century Inflation Adjusted Bond Fund A Class is a mutual fund designed to provide investors with both total return and inflation protection by primarily investing in inflation-indexed U.S. Treasury securities, commonly known as Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS). The fund's strategy centers on preserving capital and maintaining purchasing power during inflationary periods, as its core holdings' principal and interest payments adjust based on changes in the Consumer Price Index. With a portfolio heavily weighted toward U.S. government securities, the fund exhibits high credit quality and a moderate sensitivity to interest rates. It appeals to investors seeking a defensive position against inflation within their fixed-income allocations. The fund is notable for its focus on capital preservation and long-term inflation-adjusted returns, playing a key role in portfolios that require stability and inflation resilience, especially for conservative or retirement-minded investors. Shares are offered in an A share structure with a front-end load and an expense ratio above the category average, reflecting its specialized inflation-protection mandate within the bond fund sector.
