About AVUAX
American Century Mid Cap Value Fund I Class is an institutional mutual fund that specializes in investing in U.S. mid-cap companies considered undervalued relative to their intrinsic worth. The fund’s primary objective is to achieve long-term capital growth, while income serves as a secondary concern. Managed by an experienced team, it employs a disciplined, value-oriented investment strategy focused on high-quality, mid-sized firms. The portfolio typically holds over 100 positions, maintaining a diversified allocation across key sectors such as healthcare, financial services, consumer defensive, energy, and utilities. Its holdings largely reflect North American companies with an average market capitalization of approximately $22 billion. The fund aims to deliver a balance between higher returns and lower volatility by identifying opportunities in mid-cap stocks, a segment often characterized by greater growth potential and higher risk compared to larger firms. With a below-average distribution fee level and a net expense ratio around 0.78%, the fund is structured for institutional clients, featuring a higher minimum investment threshold. Its role in the market centers on providing institutional investors diversified exposure to the value segment of mid-cap U.S. equities, appealing to those seeking steady growth from established but not yet large-cap companies.
