Description: SDSI American Century Short December 24, 2025
The American Century Short Duration Strategic Income ETF (NASDAQ:SDSI) seeks to provide current income with modest price volatility by investing in a diversified mix of investment-grade and high-yield short-duration debt securities, including corporate bonds, government securities, and asset-backed notes. The fund may also hold securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury and agencies such as Ginnie Mae.
Key quantitative characteristics (as of the latest filing) include an average effective duration of roughly 2.0 years, a weighted-average credit rating near BBB-, and a 30-day SEC yield in the high-3% range. The expense ratio stands at 0.45%, which is competitive within the short-term bond space. Because the portfolio’s duration is low, its performance is more sensitive to changes in the Federal Reserve’s policy rate than to longer-term interest-rate moves, making the fund a potential hedge against a flattening yield curve.
Given the current environment of elevated inflation expectations and a tightening monetary stance, investors should monitor the Fed’s policy-rate trajectory and corporate credit spreads, as widening spreads could erode the fund’s high-yield component while tightening spreads may boost its total return.
