About BGNAX
The American Century Ginnie Mae Fund A Class is a mutual fund focused on generating **high current income** while prioritizing the **safety of principal and liquidity**. It achieves this objective by investing chiefly in **mortgage-backed securities issued by the Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA or "Ginnie Mae")**, which are explicitly backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government. This structure provides the fund with a high degree of credit quality and helps safeguard investor capital during periods of market stress. The fund is categorized within the **intermediate government bond sector**, reflecting its typical bond maturities and interest rate sensitivity. Its portfolio predominantly consists of various GNMA certificate pools, representing ownership in the cash flows from federally insured mortgage loans. As of the latest reporting period, the fund manages a substantial pool of assets, allocating a significant portion to its top GNMA holdings and maintaining a moderate portfolio duration, which helps balance yield and interest rate risk. The American Century Ginnie Mae Fund A Class plays a vital role in offering investors exposure to U.S. government-backed mortgage securities, serving those seeking steady income streams with comparatively lower credit risk relative to many other fixed-income funds.
