American Century Short Duration Strategic Income ETF (SDSI) is an actively managed exchange-traded fund that seeks high current income as its primary objective and long-term capital appreciation as a secondary goal by investing in a diversified portfolio of short-duration fixed income securities, including investment-grade and high-yield corporate bonds, U.S. government securities, non-agency collateralized mortgage obligations, non-U.S. investment-grade corporate debt, and derivatives such as U.S. Treasury futures; the fund maintains a weighted average duration of approximately 2.12 years and a weighted average life to maturity of 9.54 years to mitigate interest rate risk while targeting a 30-day SEC yield around 4.80%. SDSI's portfolio comprises approximately 338 holdings, with key allocations to U.S. Treasuries (around 17%), investment-grade corporates (23%), high-yield corporates (19%), and other sectors driven by tactical sector management based on global macroeconomic outlooks and bottom-up security selection by specialist teams led by portfolio managers Charles Tan, Jason Greenblath, Paul Norris, and Gavin Fleischman. Launched on October 11, 2022, and listed on Nasdaq, the ETF is issued and managed by American Century Investment Management, Inc., a subsidiary of American Century Investments, the U.S.-based asset manager founded in 1958 and headquartered in Kansas City, Missouri, with approximately $119 million in assets under management, a net expense ratio of 0.32%, and monthly dividend distributions. In recent developments, SDSI featured prominently in market discussions during 2025, including a Nasdaq ETFs segment highlighting its role in navigating dynamic fixed income landscapes amid volatility, while its parent firm American Century Investments expanded its ETF lineup with launches such as the Small Cap Growth Insights ETF (ACSG) and Small Cap Value Insights ETF (ACSV) in October 2025 and announced the closure of the Quality Preferred ETF (QPFF) in July 2025 to streamline offerings; additionally, the firm pursued European market entry via Ireland-domiciled active ETFs and integrated private markets capabilities through a 2023 transaction with 3x5 Partners, though no direct acquisitions, partnerships, or funding rounds specifically impacted SDSI in the last 1-2 years. The ETF targets investors seeking to complement core bond holdings with broad diversification across U.S. and global fixed income markets, primarily through brokerage platforms, with operations focused on the U.S. but underlying holdings spanning international issuers.
