American Century Diversified Bond had a better 2020 than many peers, with its 2019 process reforms helping to put its 2018 performance woes behind it. How the strategy distinguishes itself with more restrictive guardrails in place remains to be seen. It earns a Morningstar Analyst Rating of Neutral for most of its share classes and Negative for its two costliest ones.
