Our read on ASEC

ETF.net Research

In short

CMost of its peer group buys one thing: AAA CLOs. ASEC casts wider, actively picking investment-grade securitized debt tied to aircraft leases, cell towers and consumer loans, at a fee sitting right at the category median.

Stated mandate

The fund is actively managed to seek high current income and total return through high-quality, lower-duration U.S. securitized debt, including underrepresented asset-backed securities and other securitized subsectors.

Why people hold it

  • Reaches past the CLO aisle into esoteric asset-backed paper: aircraft leases, equipment leases, consumer loans, cell towers, digital infrastructure.americancentury.com
  • The mandate is written down: at least 80% of net assets in securitized credit, with a focus on investment-grade U.S. issues and lower duration.yahoo.comamericancentury.com
  • At 0.29%, the fee lands exactly at the median for its securitized-credit peers, and income is paid quarterly across roughly 100 holdings.
  • Human judgment, not an index: American Century's team picks the collateral, which is the point in a corner of the bond market where deals differ a lot.americancentury.com

Worth knowing

  • Cheaper AAA CLO options exist (PAAA at 0.19%, JAAA and CLOA at 0.20%). You pay up here for a broader, actively chosen securitized mix.
  • Launched in 2026, so the track record is short, and an active fund has no index to measure it against.
  • It is a small, thinly traded fund, where bid/ask spreads tend to run wider than in the category's giants.
