About AEDJX

American Century Emerging Markets Debt Fund – R5 Class is an actively managed mutual fund focused on fixed-income securities tied to developing economies. Its primary objective is long-term total return achieved by investing predominantly in debt issued by emerging-market sovereigns and corporations, often with significant exposure to U.S. dollar–denominated bonds. The strategy blends external sovereign and quasi-sovereign credit with selective corporate issuers and may incorporate local-currency instruments and currency positions to broaden opportunity and manage risk. The portfolio is diversified across regions and issuers, seeking income and potential capital appreciation through country allocation, credit selection, and duration management. Benchmarks cited by the adviser include widely followed J.P. Morgan indices for hard-currency and local-currency emerging-market debt, reflecting the fund’s broad opportunity set. The R5 share class is designed for retirement plans and institutional platforms, carrying no stated minimum initial investment and an expense profile aligned with plan-based share classes. By channeling capital to emerging sovereigns and companies, the fund plays a role in global bond markets by facilitating financing for developing economies while offering investors access to the emerging-markets fixed-income risk premium.
