About ACCTX
The American Century Core Plus Fund I Class is a mutual fund focused on U.S. fixed-income securities, designed to provide investors with a combination of total return and current income. The fund primarily invests at least 65% of its assets in investment-grade debt securities, such as government bonds, corporate notes, mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities, and U.S. Treasury securities. To enhance yield and return potential, it may allocate up to 35% of its portfolio to high-yield (below investment grade) bonds and selectively includes securities denominated in foreign currencies or issued in emerging markets. This approach positions the fund within the 'core-plus' bond category, allowing for greater diversification and moderate flexibility versus traditional core bond funds. Active management, grounded in comprehensive fundamental and quantitative research, underpins its allocation and risk management strategies. By balancing high-quality core holdings with opportunistic investments in non-core fixed income sectors, the fund plays a significant role in diversified portfolios seeking income and capital preservation with modest risk exposure relative to equity markets.
