About ACSKX
American Century Short Duration Fund is a mutual fund that seeks current income while maintaining a relatively stable net asset value by investing primarily in short-duration, investment-grade debt 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.
