About AEHDX
American Century Emerging Markets Debt Fund; I is an actively managed mutual fund focused on fixed-income securities from developing economies. Its primary objective is to provide broad emerging-markets exposure through investments in debt issued by sovereigns, quasi-sovereigns, and corporations, predominantly denominated in U.S. dollars, while employing a blended investment process across countries, sectors, and credit tiers. The strategy typically invests at least a substantial majority of assets in bonds tied economically to emerging markets and references the J.P. Morgan Emerging Markets Bond Index Global Diversified as a key market benchmark for the investable universe of dollar-denominated sovereign and quasi-sovereign debt. The fund’s mandate encompasses both investment-grade and below-investment-grade issues, reflecting the higher credit and liquidity risks inherent in the asset class, as well as sensitivity to interest rates, currencies, and political conditions. Within the global fixed-income landscape, the fund serves as a specialized vehicle for access to emerging-market credit, aiming to balance income generation and diversification benefits relative to developed-market bonds through active country selection, security research, and risk management.
