About AEYIX

American Century Equity Income Fund C Class is an actively managed mutual fund focused on producing current income and long-term capital growth for its investors. This fund primarily invests in U.S. large-cap, value-oriented equities, emphasizing companies that pay dividends or have the potential to do so. To enhance income generation and manage risk, the portfolio may also allocate capital to convertible and foreign securities, though these positions are typically limited and subject to additional risk factors, such as interest rate fluctuations and credit quality. The fund benchmarks its performance against the Russell 3000 Value Index, which tracks companies in the U.S. with comparatively low price-to-book ratios and subdued growth expectations. Since its launch in 2001, the fund has maintained a strategy centered on downside protection and stable income, appealing to investors seeking a conservative, income-generating option within the equity market. The C Class structure is tailored for clients working with financial advisors, with specific fee and investment minimums applicable to this class.
