Description: AVSF American Century Trust October 24, 2025

The Avantis Short-Term Fixed Income ETF (AVSF) targets investment-grade debt from a broad set of U.S. and international issuers, allocating at least 80% of assets (plus any borrowings) to fixed-income securities. Its mandate is to keep the weighted-average maturity at three years or less, emphasizing high-quality credit as defined by major rating agencies or comparable internal assessments.

Key metrics as of the latest reporting period show a 30-day SEC yield of roughly 4.2% and an expense ratio of 0.10%, positioning AVSF among the lower-cost options in the short-term bond space. The fund’s average portfolio duration is about 2.3 years, making it sensitive primarily to short-term interest-rate movements; consequently, Federal Reserve policy and the pace of inflation deceleration are the dominant macro drivers of performance. Additionally, the ETF’s credit exposure is heavily weighted toward U.S. Treasury and agency securities (≈55%) and high-quality corporate bonds (≈35%), providing a buffer against credit-risk spikes in riskier sectors.
