About ACSNX

American Century Short Duration Fund Investor Class is an open-end mutual fund focused on high-quality, short-term fixed income securities. Its primary objective is to provide income with modest interest rate sensitivity by concentrating on investment‑grade bonds with short effective duration, aiming to dampen volatility relative to broad bond markets. The portfolio spans U.S. government and agency debt, corporate bonds, and securitized assets, with the vast majority allocated to U.S. and non‑U.S. bonds and a small cash sleeve for liquidity management. The strategy benchmarks against a short-duration segment of the U.S. investment‑grade market, emphasizing maturities of one to three years to help manage rate risk. Managed by American Century Investments, the fund distributes dividends monthly and targets consistent income while maintaining prudent credit quality standards. Its role in the market is to serve as a core short-term bond holding or cash alternative within fixed income allocations, offering diversification and reduced interest rate exposure compared with intermediate‑term bond funds.
