American Century Balanced Fund

The fund's equity strategy primarily targets companies with substantial market capitalization. These are businesses that the adviser identifies as demonstrating an enduring capacity for operational enhancement, determined through a distinct multi-factor analytical framework. This framework integrates core financial indicators of a stock's intrinsic value and future expansion capabilities with environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria. Conversely, the fixed-income segment allocates capital to a broad array of high- and medium-quality debt instruments, excluding money market securities, managed by the portfolio team.
