About BGNAX

American Century Ginnie Mae Fund A Class is a mutual fund that seeks high current income while maintaining liquidity and safety of principal. It invests primarily in securities issued by the Government National Mortgage Association (Ginnie Mae), which are mortgage-backed pass-through certificates backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government. These holdings represent interests in pools of mortgage loans, providing investors with monthly interest payments guaranteed by the government, making them generally lower risk compared to other mortgage-backed securities. The fund typically allocates at least 80% of its assets to Ginnie Mae certificates, with a portfolio concentrated in Ginnie Mae II pools across various maturities and coupon rates, and a weighted average life to maturity around several years. It distributes income monthly and falls within the government mortgage-backed bond category, offering exposure to U.S. government agency debt focused on residential mortgages. Managed by experienced professionals in securitized and fixed income markets, American Century Ginnie Mae Fund A Class serves investors seeking stable income from high-quality, government-guaranteed fixed-income securities.
