- American Century Multisector Income Fund - Investor Class (ASIEX) is an open-end mutual fund managed by American Century Investments that seeks high current income as its primary objective, with long-term capital appreciation as a secondary goal. The fund invests primarily in a diversified portfolio of both investment-grade and high-yield, non-money market debt securities, including corporate bonds and notes, U.S. government and agency securities, mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities, sovereign bonds, and other fixed-income instruments; it also employs derivatives such as Treasury futures, interest rate swaps, and credit default swaps for hedging and efficient portfolio management. Launched on July 28, 2014, the fund is domiciled in the United States and available primarily to U.S. investors through brokerage platforms, with a minimum initial investment of $2,500 for non-retirement accounts ($1,000 for IRAs), a net expense ratio of 0.56%, and total net assets of approximately $104 million as of late 2025.
The fund maintains medium credit quality and moderate interest-rate sensitivity, with allocations typically comprising about 74% U.S. bonds, 21% non-U.S. bonds, and smaller exposures to cash and other assets; top holdings as of recent reports include U.S. Treasury futures contracts such as Ultra 10-Year Treasury Note Futures (8.75%), 5-Year Treasury Note Futures (7.29%), and 2-Year Treasury Note Futures (5.94%). It targets individual investors, financial advisors, and institutions seeking multisector bond exposure to complement core fixed-income holdings, operating within the multisector bond category with monthly income distributions and a TTM yield around 5.50%.
American Century Investments, the fund's manager and a subsidiary of the Stowers Institute for Medical Research, was founded in 1958 and is headquartered at 4500 Main Street in Kansas City, Missouri, with additional offices in New York, London, Sydney, Hong Kong, and other global locations. The current portfolio management team includes Charles Tan (since May 2019), Jason Greenblath (since June 2019), and Paul Norris (since November 2023). In recent developments, American Century Investments announced in July 2025 plans to close and liquidate two unrelated ETFs, Quality Preferred ETF (QPFF) and Quality Convertible Securities ETF (QCON), effective September 2025, as part of portfolio optimization efforts amid growing ETF assets under management totaling $72 billion; no such changes have been reported for the Multisector Income Fund. The firm also issued updated prospectuses in 2025 reflecting ongoing fee waivers and risk disclosures, maintaining the fund's active multisector strategy without major strategic shifts, acquisitions, or new share class launches specific to ASIEX.
