About ASXDX
American Century Short Duration Strategic Income Fund R6 Class is an actively managed mutual fund focused on generating current income with a secondary objective of long-term capital appreciation. The strategy invests across a diversified mix of short-maturity fixed income, spanning investment-grade corporates, U.S. government and agency securities, asset- and mortgage-backed securities, collateralized loan obligations, and selectively, high-yield issues to enhance income potential. Portfolio duration is kept in the short-term range to help mitigate interest-rate sensitivity relative to intermediate and long-duration bonds. The fund distributes income monthly and targets a balanced blend of credit and securitized exposures, complemented by U.S. Treasury futures and other instruments for duration and liquidity management. Positioned within the Short-Term Bond category, it aims to deliver enhanced returns over cash and pure government-only short benchmarks while maintaining a disciplined risk profile. The R6 share class is designed for employer-sponsored retirement plans, offering an institutional pricing structure with a low expense ratio and no 12b-1 fees, supporting cost-efficient access to a multi-sector short-duration bond approach.
