About AFCGX
The American Century Focused International Growth Fund G Class is an actively managed mutual fund focused on capital appreciation by investing primarily in equities of companies located in developed and emerging markets outside the United States. This fund employs a high-conviction, growth-oriented investment approach, concentrating its portfolio in a select number of large companies that the managers believe exhibit strong growth potential. By seeking opportunities in both established and developing economies, the fund aims to diversify across geographies and industries while maintaining a targeted, research-driven selection process. Its strategy is built on rigorous fundamental analysis and a bottom-up approach to identifying high-quality international businesses with sustained earnings growth prospects. The fund plays a significant role in investor portfolios by providing access to global markets, thus broadening diversification beyond U.S. borders and offering participation in economic growth trends worldwide. As with most international funds, it is subject to risks such as currency fluctuations and political instability, but it serves as a core holding for investors seeking long-term growth through exposure to non-U.S. equities.
