About ASDJX

American Century Short Duration Strategic Income Fund R5 Class is a diversified fixed-income mutual fund designed to generate current income with limited interest rate sensitivity. The strategy employs an actively managed, multi-sector approach across U.S. Treasuries, corporate credit, securitized assets such as asset- and mortgage-backed securities, and selectively, high-yield bonds, aiming to enhance yield while keeping duration short to moderate interest-rate risk. Portfolio management is tactical, adjusting sector and credit exposures based on fundamentals and market conditions, which provides flexibility across different rate environments. The fund’s mandate allows use of derivatives for hedging or efficient exposure, and emphasizes broad diversification across hundreds of holdings to balance credit and liquidity risks. It is benchmarked against the Bloomberg U.S. 1–3 Year Government/Credit Bond Index for context on risk and return characteristics typical of short-term, investment-grade markets. The R5 share class is intended for employer-sponsored retirement plans, offering an institutional pricing structure while providing monthly income distributions consistent with its income-focused objective.
