About ACCUX
The American Century Core Plus Fund R5 Class is an actively managed mutual fund classified as an intermediate core-plus bond fund. Its primary purpose is to maximize total return, with a secondary objective of delivering a high level of income. The fund invests at least 65% of its assets in investment-grade, non-money market debt instruments, including U.S. Treasury securities, corporate bonds, mortgage- and asset-backed securities, and collateralized loan obligations. It has the flexibility to allocate up to 35% of assets to high-yield (below investment grade) securities, enhancing return potential but also incorporating additional credit risk.
This fund applies a research-driven strategy that combines fundamental and quantitative analysis to guide security selection and sector allocation. The portfolio is diversified across government, corporate, and securitized markets, and may hold securities denominated in foreign currencies, introducing some international exposure. With an emphasis on risk management, the fund's process aims for consistent alpha and a moderate risk profile. The R5 share class is generally intended for group employer-sponsored retirement plans, and the fund’s cost structure is positioned to be competitive within its category. The American Century Core Plus Fund R5 Class serves as a foundational fixed income holding within diversified portfolios, supporting income and total return objectives while managing risk in changing interest rate environments.
