About ASDRX
American Century Short Duration Strategic Income Fund R Class is an actively managed mutual fund focused on generating income with limited interest-rate sensitivity. The strategy targets a short effective duration profile by emphasizing bonds with near-term maturities while allocating across a diversified, multi-sector fixed-income universe. Its portfolio spans U.S. Treasuries and agencies, investment-grade and select high-yield corporate credits, securitized assets such as collateralized mortgage obligations and asset-backed securities, as well as bank loans and collateralized loan obligations. The fund’s mandate prioritizes income as its primary objective, with long-term capital appreciation as a secondary goal, and it employs tactical sector rotation based on fundamental credit analysis and macro views. Designed to dampen the impact of rate movements relative to intermediate-term peers, it seeks to balance credit risk and liquidity considerations through broad exposure and active risk management. The R share class is generally used within employer-sponsored retirement plans, aligning the strategy with plan-based fixed-income lineups that require short-term bond exposure and diversified sources of yield within a conservative duration framework.
