About ABHTX
American Century Government Bond Fund I Class is a mutual fund designed to generate high levels of current income while prioritizing capital preservation. The fund focuses primarily on intermediate-term U.S. government debt securities, including U.S. Treasury bonds, notes, and agency-backed mortgage securities, holding at least 80% of its assets in these instruments under normal market conditions. Its portfolio is widely diversified, typically comprising over 200 individual holdings, with maturities ranging from just over a year to ten years. The fund’s strategy emphasizes quality and safety, leveraging the creditworthiness of U.S. government issuers, and seeks to balance interest rate and credit risk. With a relatively low net expense ratio, it provides an efficient option for institutional investors seeking exposure to U.S. government bonds. The fund plays a significant role for investors and institutions seeking stable income streams and lower volatility compared to corporate or high-yield bond funds, and it is often used in asset allocation strategies focused on risk mitigation, liquidity, or meeting regular income objectives.
