About ACSKX

It allocates at least 65% of its assets to non-money market instruments such as notes and bonds, with a focus on those maturing in under five years, including significant holdings in United States Treasury securities. The portfolio emphasizes securities with effective durations around 2 years, featuring average coupons in the mid-5% range and yields distributed across 3% to 8%, predominantly investment-grade. This C Class share class caters to investors seeking income from fixed-income markets with reduced interest rate risk compared to longer-duration funds. American Century Short Duration Fund plays a role in diversified portfolios, offering exposure to government and high-quality corporate debt for conservative income strategies within the short-term bond category.
