About AEXDX
American Century Emerging Markets Debt Fund R6 Class is an actively managed mutual fund focused on fixed-income securities from developing economies. The fund’s primary objective is to provide broad emerging-markets exposure through investments in sovereign and quasi-sovereign bonds, as well as select corporate issuers, spanning both investment-grade and high-yield segments to capture diversified credit and duration profiles. It targets bonds predominantly denominated in U.S. dollars and references market benchmarks such as the J.P. Morgan Emerging Markets Bond Index Global Diversified for context on the investable universe. The strategy allocates across regions including Latin America, Eastern Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Middle East, reflecting the structure of the global emerging-markets debt landscape. Key features include professional multi-manager oversight, a research-driven process blending top-down country assessment with bottom-up security selection, and attention to liquidity and risk factors unique to international and lower-rated credits. Within the mutual fund market, it plays a role as a dedicated emerging-markets bond allocation, offering potential income and diversification relative to developed-market fixed income.
