- American Century Investments Inflation-Adjusted Bond Fund Investor Class (ACITX) is an open-end mutual fund that seeks total return and inflation protection consistent with investment in inflation-indexed securities by investing primarily in Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS), inflation-linked bonds, U.S. Treasury futures, inflation swap agreements, and credit default swap agreements to manage duration, inflation, and credit exposure; it may also allocate to non-U.S. bonds, cash equivalents, and other fixed-income instruments with high credit quality and moderate interest-rate sensitivity. The fund, launched in 1997, features Investor Class shares with a minimum initial investment of $2,500 for non-retirement accounts (waived under certain automatic investment plans), an expense ratio of 0.51%, and a portfolio emphasizing U.S. bonds (approximately 96%) tied to the Consumer Price Index for principal and interest adjustments guaranteed by the U.S. government at maturity. American Century Investments, the fund's manager founded in 1958 and headquartered in Kansas City, Missouri, operates globally from offices in New York, Los Angeles, Santa Clara, Portland, London, Frankfurt, Hong Kong, and Sydney, serving financial professionals, institutions, corporations, and individual investors through mutual funds, ETFs, collective investment trusts, separately managed accounts, and private investments. In recent developments, the firm surpassed $300 billion in assets under supervision in September 2025, expanded its active ETF offerings including Avantis UCITS ETFs in Europe to reach $75 billion and become the fourth-largest U.S. active ETF issuer, integrated a private investments team from its 2023 acquisition of 3x5 Partners focused on healthcare and climate solutions operating from Portland, Oregon, and maintains a strategic alliance with Nomura Holdings holding a 41% economic interest since 2016. The Stowers Institute for Medical Research owns more than 40% of American Century, directing over $2 billion in profits since 2000 to biomedical research on diseases including cancer, diabetes, and dementia, aligning investment performance with global health advancements.
