About TWACX

American Century Short-Term Government Fund Class C is an open-end bond fund focused on generating high current income while emphasizing preservation of principal. It primarily invests in U.S. government securities, including Treasury and agency bonds, with a short maturity profile that helps moderate interest rate sensitivity. The strategy targets the short end of the yield curve and references the Bloomberg U.S. 1–3 Year Government Bond Index as a benchmark context for its investment universe. The portfolio can include mortgage-backed securities, introducing prepayment dynamics alongside traditional duration and price risks associated with fixed income. Managed by American Century Investments, the fund’s Class C shares are distributed through financial intermediaries and carry a distinct share-class fee structure relative to other classes. The fund’s role in the market is to provide a conservative, income-oriented fixed income allocation that may complement cash management and capital preservation objectives, particularly for investors seeking exposure to government-backed credit quality with limited duration. Its design aligns with environments where stability and liquidity are prioritized, while acknowledging that fund shares are not guaranteed by the U.S. government and can fluctuate with interest rate movements and mortgage prepayments.
