About APOYX

American Century Short Duration Inflation Protection Bond Fund - Y Class is an actively managed mutual fund focused on safeguarding purchasing power through a portfolio of inflation-linked debt, primarily U.S. Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities with maturities concentrated in the one- to five-year range. The fund normally invests at least 80% of assets in inflation-linked bonds, emphasizing shorter duration to moderate interest rate sensitivity while maintaining exposure to changes in the Consumer Price Index via principal and coupon adjustments. Its mandate targets the short-term inflation-protected bond segment, using the Bloomberg U.S. 1–5 Year TIPS Index as a relevant reference for the opportunity set. The strategy may include investment-grade securities and diversified holdings across issuers to balance inflation hedging with credit and liquidity considerations. Positioned as a core inflation-aware fixed income option, it plays a role in stabilizing real returns during shifting inflation regimes and can complement broader bond allocations where duration management and inflation linkage are priorities. The fund’s share class structure and operating characteristics support institutional-quality access to the short-duration TIPS market.
