About ABTAX

American Century Government Bond Fund A Class is a mutual fund that primarily invests in U.S. government debt securities, including Treasury bonds, notes, and securities issued or guaranteed by government agencies. Its main objective is to provide the highest possible level of current income, consistent with the safety and credit quality of government obligations. The fund maintains a portfolio whose weighted average maturity typically ranges from 13 months to 10 years, positioning it within the intermediate-term government bond category. Featuring more than 200 holdings, it offers investors diversified access to the government bond market, and distributes income monthly. Notable features include a competitive expense ratio relative to its category and a focus on high credit quality, reducing default risk. The fund is widely used by investors seeking stable, income-oriented exposure in their fixed-income allocation, while its sensitivity to interest rates and inclusion of mortgage-backed securities make it a tool for balancing risk and return in diversified portfolios.
