About AINGX

The American Century Inflation-Adjusted Bond Fund G Class is an open-end mutual fund specializing in inflation-protected fixed income securities. Its primary objective is to provide both total return and a safeguard against inflation by investing predominantly in bonds whose principal values adjust in line with changes in inflation rates. A significant portion of the fund's holdings consists of U.S. Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS), which are designed to preserve purchasing power by automatically adjusting both principal and interest payments based on the Consumer Price Index (CPI). The fund may also employ strategies such as U.S. Treasury futures, inflation swap agreements, and credit default swaps to further manage interest rate risk, inflation exposure, and credit risk. With a focus on high-quality debt, it maintains a portfolio characterized by high credit quality and moderate interest rate sensitivity. The fund routinely attracts attention from investors seeking stability and inflation hedging, particularly during periods of rising consumer prices or economic uncertainty. Its distinctive role in the fixed income market lies in its targeted approach to inflation mitigation, making it relevant for those prioritizing long-term capital preservation in real terms.
