About AVUGX
The American Century Value Fund R5 Class is a mutual fund that focuses on investing in large-cap U.S. companies that management considers to be undervalued. Its primary objective is to provide long-term capital growth by selecting high-quality businesses trading below their intrinsic value. This fund is designed for group employer-sponsored retirement plans, and is not available to individual retail investors or IRA accounts. The R5 Class distinguishes itself by offering a competitive fee structure, benefiting from management fee waivers that reduce expenses for participants in eligible retirement plans. The fund emphasizes a value-oriented investment approach, generally targeting established companies across a variety of sectors with lower price-to-book ratios and more modest growth forecasts. Its performance benchmark is typically aligned with value segments of the broader U.S. equity market, such as the Russell 1000® Value Index, which includes the largest publicly traded companies characterized by value attributes. By focusing on high-quality, undervalued equity securities, the American Century Value Fund R5 Class plays a significant role in providing diversification and stability within workplace retirement plan portfolios, appealing to investors seeking disciplined value exposure and professional management for their long-term retirement savings.
