The advisor will waive a
portion of the fund’s management fee equal to the expenses attributable to the
management fees of American Century-advised underlying funds. The amount of this
waiver will fluctuate depending on the fund’s daily allocations to such funds.
This waiver is expected to remain in effect permanently, and it cannot be
terminated without the approval of the Board of
Directors.
Example
The example below is intended to help you compare the costs of
investing in the fund with the costs of investing in other mutual
funds. The example assumes that you invest
$10,000 in the fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your
shares at the end of those periods, and that you earn a 5% return each year. The
example also assumes that the fund’s operating expenses remain the same except
that it reflects the rate and duration of any fee waivers noted in the table
above. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these
assumptions your costs would be:

Portfolio
Turnover
Because
the fund buys and sells shares of other American Century mutual funds directly
from the issuers, the fund is not expected to incur transaction costs directly
other than transaction costs associated with purchasing exchange-traded funds.
However, as a shareholder in the underlying mutual funds, the fund indirectly
pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when the underlying mutual funds
buy and sell securities (or “turn over” their portfolios). A higher portfolio
turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher
taxes when fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not
reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the fund’s
performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the fund’s portfolio turnover
rate was 37% of the average value of its
portfolio.
One Choice
Blend+ 2015 Portfolio is a “fund of funds,” meaning that it seeks to achieve its
objective by investing in other mutual funds and exchange-traded funds (ETFs)
advised by American Century (collectively, the underlying funds) that represent
a variety of asset classes and investment styles. The underlying
stock funds draw on growth, value and quantitative investment techniques and
diversify investments among small, medium and large U.S. and foreign companies.
The underlying bond funds invest in fixed-income securities that vary by issuer
type (corporate and government), credit quality (investment-grade and high-yield
or “junk bonds”) and geographic exposure (domestic and international).
Short-term investments include underlying funds that invest in fixed-income or
debt instruments and have a shorter-term weighted average duration, typically
three years or less. The following table indicates the fund’s neutral mix; that
is, how the fund’s investments generally will be allocated among the major asset
classes as of the date of this prospectus.

The
target date in the fund name (2015) refers to the approximate year an investor
retired. Any new investments in the fund are being made after the target date.
The target date does not necessarily represent the specific year you expect to
need your assets. It is intended only as a general guide and assumes a
retirement age of 65. The fund may not be appropriate for an investor who
retired at or near the target date, but at an age well before or after 65. The
fund is designed for investors who plan to withdraw the value of their account
gradually after retirement. The fund’s neutral mix is expected to remain fixed
at 40% stock funds, 54% bond funds and 6% short-term funds.
The
portfolio managers regularly review the fund’s allocations to determine whether
rebalancing is appropriate. In order to better balance risks in changing market
environments, the portfolio managers may make modest deviations from the neutral
mix in light of prevailing market conditions. We reserve the right to modify the
neutral mix and underlying funds from time to time should circumstances warrant
a change.
•Allocation
Risk – The fund’s performance and risks depend in part on the
managers’ skill in determining the fund’s neutral mix, selecting and weighting
the underlying funds, and implementing any deviations from the neutral mix. The
managers’ evaluations and assumptions regarding asset classes or underlying
funds may differ from actual market conditions.
•Fund
of Funds Risks
– The fund’s performance and risks reflect the performance and risks of the
underlying American Century Investments funds in which it invests. The fund’s
investment in other American Century Investments funds may create a conflict of
interest for the fund’s advisor.
•ETF
Risk
– ETF shares are based on market price rather than net asset value (NAV), as a
result, shares may trade at a price greater than NAV (a premium) or less than
NAV (a discount). The fund may also incur brokerage commissions, as well as the
cost of the bid/ask spread, when purchasing or selling ETF
shares.
•“Growth”
and “Value” Style Risks –
The underlying funds represent a mix of investment styles, each of which has
risks associated with it. Growth stocks can be volatile and may lack dividends
that can cushion share prices during market declines. Value stocks may continue
to be undervalued by the market for long periods of
time.
•Small-
and Mid-Cap Stock Risks –
Stocks of smaller companies may be more volatile than larger-company stocks.
Smaller companies may have limited financial resources, product lines and
markets, and their securities may trade less frequently and in more limited
volumes than the securities of larger companies, which could lead to higher
transaction costs. To the extent an underlying fund invests in these companies,
it may take on more risk.
•Interest
Rate Risk –
Generally, when interest rates rise, the value of an underlying fund’s
fixed-income securities will decline. The opposite is true when interest rates
decline. Underlying funds with longer weighted average maturities are more
sensitive to interest rate changes. A period of rising interest rates may
negatively affect the performance of underlying fixed-income
funds.
•Credit
Risk
– The value of an underlying fund’s fixed-income securities will be affected
adversely by any erosion in the ability of the issuers of these securities to
make interest and principal payments as they become due. Changes in the credit
rating of a fixed-income security held by an underlying fund could have a
similar effect.
•Foreign
Securities Risk –
Some of the underlying funds invest in foreign securities, which are generally
riskier than U.S. securities. Political events, social and economic events,
natural disasters and public health emergencies occurring in a country where the
fund invests could cause the fund's investments in that country to experience
gains or losses. Securities of foreign issuers may be less liquid, more volatile
and harder to value than U.S. securities. Fluctuations in currency exchange
rates also may affect an underlying fund’s share
price.
•High-Yield
Securities Risk – Some of the underlying funds may invest in high-yield
securities, which are considered to have speculative characteristics and are
more likely to be negatively affected by changes in economic
conditions.
•Market
Risk –
The value of the fund’s shares will go up and down based on the performance of
the underlying funds in which it invests. The value of the underlying funds’
shares will, in turn, fluctuate based on the performance of the securities they
own and other factors generally affecting the securities market. Market risks,
including political, regulatory, economic and social developments, can affect
the value of the fund’s investments. Natural disasters, public health
emergencies, war, terrorism and other unforeseeable events may lead to increased
market volatility and may have adverse long-term effects on world economies and
markets generally.
•Principal
Loss Risk –
At any given time your shares may be worth less than the price you paid for
them. In other words, it is possible to lose money by investing in the fund,
including losses near to, at, or after retirement. There is no guarantee that
the fund will provide adequate income at or through your
retirement.
An
investment in the fund is not a bank deposit, and it is not insured or
guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) or any other
government agency.
The following
bar chart and table provide some indication of the risks of investing in the
fund. The bar chart shows changes in the fund’s performance from year to year
for Investor Class shares. The table shows how the fund’s average annual returns
for the periods shown compared with those of broad measures of market
performance. The table also shows returns for the
S&P Target Date to 2015 Index, which the advisor considers to be more
representative of the fund’s investment strategy. The
fund’s past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an
indication of how the fund will perform in the future. For
current performance information, including yields, please visit americancentury.com.
Sales
charges and account fees, if applicable, are not reflected in the bar chart. If
those charges were included, returns would be less than those
shown.

The after-tax returns are
shown only for Investor Class shares. After-tax returns for other share classes
will vary. After-tax returns are
calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax
rates and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes.
Actual after-tax returns
depend on an investor’s tax situation and may differ from those shown. After-tax
returns are not relevant to investors who hold their fund shares through
tax-deferred arrangements, such as 401(k) plans or
IRAs.

You
may purchase or redeem shares of the fund on any business day through our
website at americancentury.com, in person (at one of our Investor Centers), by
mail (American Century Investments, P.O. Box 419200, Kansas City, MO
64141-6200), by telephone at 1-800-345-2021 (Investor Services Representative)
or 1-800-345-3533 (Business, Not-For-Profit and Employer-Sponsored Retirement
Plans), or through a financial intermediary. Shares may be purchased and
redemption proceeds received by electronic bank transfer, by check or by
wire.
Unless
otherwise specified below, the minimum initial investment amount to open an
account is $2,500 ($1,000 for Coverdell Education Savings Accounts and IRAs).
However, American Century Investments will waive the fund minimum if you make an
initial investment of at least $500 and continue to make automatic investments
of at least $100 a month until reaching the fund minimum. Investors opening
accounts through financial intermediaries may open an account with $250 for
Investor, A and R Classes, but the financial intermediaries may require their
clients to meet different investment minimums. The minimum may be waived for
broker-dealer sponsored wrap program accounts, fee based accounts, and accounts
through bank/trust and wealth management advisory organizations.
The
minimum initial investment amount for I Class is generally $5 million ($3
million for endowments and foundations), but the minimum may be waived if you
have an aggregate investment in the American Century family of funds of $10
million or more ($5 million for endowments and foundations). This includes
accounts held directly with American Century and those held through a financial
intermediary.
There
is no minimum initial investment amount for R6 Class shares.
For
all share classes, there is no minimum initial investment amount for certain
employer-sponsored retirement plans, however, financial intermediaries or plan
recordkeepers may require plans to meet different minimums. There is a $50
minimum for subsequent purchases, except that there is no subsequent purchase
minimum for financial intermediaries or employer-sponsored retirement
plans.
Fund
distributions are generally taxable as ordinary income or capital gains, unless
you are investing through a tax-deferred account such as a 401(k) or individual
retirement account (in which case you may be taxed upon withdrawal of your
investment from such account).
If
you purchase the fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary
(such as a bank, insurance company, plan sponsor or financial professional), the
fund and its related companies may pay the intermediary for the sale of fund
shares and related services for investments in all classes except the R6 Class.
These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing the
broker-dealer or other intermediary and your salesperson to recommend the fund
over another investment. Ask your salesperson or visit your financial
intermediary’s website for more information.
The
fund seeks the highest total return consistent with its asset
mix.
The

pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when the underlying mutual funds
buy and sell securities (or “turn over” their portfolios). A higher portfolio
turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher
taxes when fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not
reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the fund’s
performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the fund’s portfolio turnover
rate was 48% of the average value of its
portfolio.
One Choice
Blend+ 2020 Portfolio is a “fund of funds,” meaning that it seeks to achieve its
objective by investing in other mutual funds and exchange-traded funds (ETFs)
advised by American Century (collectively, the underlying funds) that represent
a variety of asset classes and investment styles. The underlying
stock funds draw on growth, value and quantitative investment techniques and
diversify investments among small, medium and large U.S. and foreign companies.
The underlying bond funds invest in fixed-income securities that vary by issuer
type (corporate and government), credit quality (investment-grade and high-yield
or “junk bonds”) and geographic exposure (domestic and international).
Short-term investments include underlying funds that invest in fixed-income or
debt instruments and have a shorter-term weighted average duration, typically
three years or less. The following table indicates the fund’s neutral mix; that
is, how the fund’s investments generally will be allocated among the major asset
classes as of the date of this prospectus.

The
target date in the fund name (2020) refers to the approximate year an investor
retired. Any new investments in the fund are being made after the target date.
The target date does not necessarily represent the specific year you expect to
need your assets. It is intended only as a general guide and assumes a
retirement age of 65. The fund may not be appropriate for an investor who
retired at or near the target date, but at an age well before or after 65. The
fund is designed for investors who plan to withdraw the value of their account
gradually after retirement. Over time, the fund’s neutral mix will become more
conservative by decreasing the allocation to stocks and increasing the
allocation to bonds and short-term investments. The fund will reach its most
conservative allocation approximately five years after the target date, at which
point its neutral mix is expected to become fixed at 40% stock funds, 54% bond
funds and 6% short-term funds. The following chart shows how the neutral mix is
expected to change over time according to a predetermined glide
path.
The
portfolio managers regularly review the fund’s allocations to determine whether
rebalancing is appropriate. In order to better balance risks in changing market
environments, the portfolio managers may make modest deviations from the neutral
mix in light of prevailing market conditions. We reserve the right to modify the
neutral mix and underlying funds from time to time should circumstances warrant
a change.
•Allocation
Risk – The fund’s performance and risks depend in part on the
managers’ skill in determining the fund’s neutral mix, selecting and weighting
the underlying funds, and implementing any deviations from the neutral mix. The
managers’ evaluations and assumptions regarding asset classes or underlying
funds may differ from actual market conditions.
•Fund
of Funds Risks
– The fund’s performance and risks reflect the performance and risks of the
underlying American Century Investments funds in which it invests. The fund’s
investment in other American Century Investments funds may create a conflict of
interest for the fund’s advisor.
•ETF
Risk - ETF
shares are based on market price rather than net asset value (NAV), as a result,
shares may trade at a price greater than NAV (a premium) or less than NAV (a
discount). The fund may also incur brokerage commissions, as well as the cost of
the bid/ask spread, when purchasing or selling ETF
shares.
•“Growth”
and “Value” Style Risks –
The underlying funds represent a mix of investment styles, each of which has
risks associated with it. Growth stocks can be volatile and may lack dividends
that can cushion share prices during market declines. Value stocks may continue
to be undervalued by the market for long periods of
time.
•Small-
and Mid-Cap Stock Risks –
Stocks of smaller companies may be more volatile than larger-company stocks.
Smaller companies may have limited financial resources, product lines and
markets, and their securities may trade less frequently and in more limited
volumes than the securities of larger companies, which could lead to higher
transaction costs. To the extent an underlying fund invests in these companies,
it may take on more risk.
•Interest
Rate Risk –
Generally, when interest rates rise, the value of an underlying fund’s
fixed-income securities will decline. The opposite is true when interest rates
decline. Underlying funds with longer weighted average maturities are more
sensitive to interest rate changes. A period of rising interest rates may
negatively affect the performance of underlying fixed-income
funds.
•Credit
Risk
– The value of an underlying fund’s fixed-income securities will be affected
adversely by any erosion in the ability of the issuers of these securities to
make interest and principal payments as they become due. Changes in the credit
rating of a fixed-income security held by an underlying fund could have a
similar effect.
•Foreign
Securities Risk –
Some of the underlying funds invest in foreign securities, which are generally
riskier than U.S. securities. Political events, social and economic events,
natural disasters and public health emergencies occurring in a country where the
fund invests could cause the fund's investments in that country to experience
gains or losses. Securities of foreign issuers may be less liquid, more volatile
and harder to value than U.S. securities. Fluctuations in currency exchange
rates also may affect an underlying fund’s share
price.
•High-Yield
Securities Risk – Some of the underlying funds may invest in high-yield
securities, which are considered to have speculative characteristics and are
more likely to be negatively affected by changes in economic
conditions.
•Market
Risk –
The value of the fund’s shares will go up and down based on the performance of
the underlying funds in which it invests. The value of the underlying funds’
shares will, in turn, fluctuate based on the performance of the securities they
own and other factors generally affecting the securities market. Market risks,
including political, regulatory, economic and social developments, can affect
the value of the fund’s investments. Natural disasters, public health
emergencies, war, terrorism and other unforeseeable events may lead to increased
market volatility and may have adverse long-term effects on world economies and
markets generally.
•Principal
Loss Risk
–
At any given time your shares may be worth less than the price you paid for
them. In other words, it is possible to lose money by investing in the fund,
including losses near to, at, or after retirement. There is no guarantee that
the fund will provide adequate income at or through your
retirement.
An
investment in the fund is not a bank deposit, and it is not insured or
guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) or any other
government agency.
The following
bar chart and table provide some indication of the risks of investing in the
fund. The bar chart shows changes in the fund’s performance from year to year
for Investor Class shares. The table shows how the fund’s average annual returns
for the periods shown compared with those of broad measures of market
performance. The table also shows returns for the
S&P Target Date to 2020 Index, which the advisor considers to be more
representative of the fund’s investment strategy. The
fund’s past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an
indication of how the fund will perform in the future. For
current performance information, including yields, please visit americancentury.com.
Sales
charges and account fees, if applicable, are not reflected in the bar chart. If
those charges were included, returns would be less than those
shown.

will vary. After-tax returns are
calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax
rates and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes.
Actual after-tax returns
depend on an investor’s tax situation and may differ from those shown. After-tax
returns are not relevant to investors who hold their fund shares through
tax-deferred arrangements, such as 401(k) plans or

You
may purchase or redeem shares of the fund on any business day through our
website at americancentury.com, in person (at one of our Investor Centers), by
mail (American Century Investments, P.O. Box 419200, Kansas City, MO
64141-6200), by telephone at 1-800-345-2021 (Investor Services Representative)
or 1-800-345-3533 (Business, Not-For-Profit and Employer-Sponsored Retirement
Plans), or through a financial intermediary. Shares may be purchased and
redemption proceeds received by electronic bank transfer, by check or by
wire.
Unless
otherwise specified below, the minimum initial investment amount to open an
account is $2,500 ($1,000 for Coverdell Education Savings Accounts and IRAs).
However, American Century Investments will waive the fund minimum if you make an
initial investment of at least $500 and continue to make automatic investments
of at least $100 a month until reaching the fund minimum. Investors opening
accounts through financial intermediaries may open an account with $250 for
Investor, A, C, and R Classes, but the financial intermediaries may require
their clients to meet different investment minimums. The minimum may be waived
for broker-dealer sponsored wrap program accounts, fee based accounts, and
accounts through bank/trust and wealth management advisory
organizations.
The
minimum initial investment amount for I Class is generally $5 million ($3
million for endowments and foundations), but the minimum may be waived if you
have an aggregate investment in the American Century family of funds of $10
million or more ($5 million for endowments and foundations). This includes
accounts held directly with American Century and those held through a financial
intermediary.
There
is no minimum initial investment amount for R6 Class shares.
For
all share classes, there is no minimum initial investment amount for certain
employer-sponsored retirement plans, however, financial intermediaries or plan
recordkeepers may require plans to meet different minimums. There is a $50
minimum for subsequent purchases, except that there is no subsequent purchase
minimum for financial intermediaries or employer-sponsored retirement
plans.
Fund
distributions are generally taxable as ordinary income or capital gains, unless
you are investing through a tax-deferred account such as a 401(k) or individual
retirement account (in which case you may be taxed upon withdrawal of your
investment from such account).
If
you purchase the fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary
(such as a bank, insurance company, plan sponsor or financial professional), the
fund and its related companies may pay the intermediary for the sale of fund
shares and related services in all classes except the R6 Class. These payments
may create a conflict of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other
intermediary and your salesperson to recommend the fund over another investment.
Ask your salesperson or visit your financial intermediary’s website for more
information.
The fund seeks the highest total return consistent with its asset
mix.
The
following table describes the fees and expenses you may pay if you buy, hold,
and sell shares of the fund. You may pay other fees, such as brokerage
commissions and other fees to financial intermediaries, which are not reflected
in the tables and examples below. You may qualify for sales charge discounts
if you and your family invest, or agree to invest in the future, at least
$50,000 in
American Century Investments funds. More information about these
and other discounts is available from your financial professional and in

2 The advisor will
waive a portion of the fund’s management fee equal to the expenses attributable
to the management fees of American Century-advised underlying funds. The amount
of this waiver will fluctuate depending on the fund’s daily allocations to such
funds. This waiver is expected to remain in effect permanently, and it cannot be
terminated without the approval of the Board of
Directors.
Example
The example below is intended to help you compare the costs of
investing in the fund with the costs of investing in other mutual
funds. The example assumes that you invest
$10,000 in the fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your
shares at the end of those periods, and that you earn a 5% return each year. The
example also assumes that the fund’s operating expenses remain the same except
that it reflects the rate and duration of any fee waivers noted in the table
above. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these
assumptions your costs would be:

Turnover
Because
the fund buys and sells shares of other American Century mutual funds directly
from the issuers, the fund is not expected to incur transaction costs directly
other than transaction costs associated with purchasing exchange-traded funds.
However, as a shareholder in the underlying mutual funds, the fund indirectly
pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when the underlying mutual funds
buy and sell securities (or “turn over” their portfolios). A higher portfolio
turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher
taxes when fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not
reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the fund’s
performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the fund’s portfolio turnover
rate was 51% of the average value of its
portfolio.

three years or less. The following table indicates the fund’s neutral mix; that

You
may purchase or redeem shares of the fund on any business day through our
website at americancentury.com, in person (at one of our Investor Centers), by
mail (American Century Investments, P.O. Box 419200, Kansas City, MO
64141-6200), by telephone at 1-800-345-2021 (Investor Services Representative)
or 1-800-345-3533 (Business, Not-For-Profit and Employer-Sponsored Retirement
Plans), or through a financial intermediary. Shares may be purchased and
redemption proceeds received by electronic bank transfer, by check or by
wire.
Unless
otherwise specified below, the minimum initial investment amount to open an
account is $2,500 ($1,000 for Coverdell Education Savings Accounts and IRAs).
However, American Century Investments will waive the fund minimum if you make an
initial investment of at least $500 and continue to make automatic investments
of at least $100 a month until reaching the fund minimum. Investors opening
accounts through financial intermediaries may open an account with $250 for
Investor, A and R Classes, but the financial intermediaries may require their
clients to meet different investment minimums. The minimum may be waived for
broker-dealer sponsored wrap program accounts, fee based accounts, and accounts
through bank/trust and wealth management advisory organizations.
The
minimum initial investment amount for I Class is generally $5 million ($3
million for endowments and foundations), but the minimum may be waived if you
have an aggregate investment in the American Century family of funds of $10
million or more ($5 million for endowments and foundations). This includes
accounts held directly with American Century and those held through a financial
intermediary.
There
is no minimum initial investment amount for R6 Class shares.
For
all share classes, there is no minimum initial investment amount for certain
employer-sponsored retirement plans, however, financial intermediaries or plan
recordkeepers may require plans to meet different minimums. There is a $50
minimum for subsequent purchases, except that there is no subsequent purchase
minimum for financial intermediaries or employer-sponsored retirement
plans.
Fund
distributions are generally taxable as ordinary income or capital gains, unless
you are investing through a tax-deferred account such as a 401(k) or individual
retirement account (in which case you may be taxed upon withdrawal of your
investment from such account).
If
you purchase the fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary
(such as a bank, insurance company, plan sponsor or financial professional), the
fund and its related companies may pay the intermediary for the sale of fund
shares and related services in all classes except the R6 Class. These payments
may create a conflict of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other
intermediary and your salesperson to recommend the fund over another investment.
Ask your salesperson or visit your financial intermediary’s website for more
information.
The
fund seeks the highest total return consistent with its asset
mix.
The
following table describes the fees and expenses you may pay if you buy, hold,
and sell shares of the fund. You may pay other fees, such as brokerage
commissions and other fees to financial intermediaries, which are not reflected
in the tables and examples below. You may qualify for sales charge discounts

$50,000 in

2 The advisor will
waive a portion of the fund’s management fee equal to the expenses attributable
to the management fees of American Century-advised underlying funds. The amount
of this waiver will fluctuate depending on the fund’s daily allocations to such

Example
The example below is intended to help you compare the costs of
investing in the fund with the costs of investing in other mutual
funds. The example assumes that you invest
$10,000 in the fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your
shares at the end of those periods, and that you earn a 5% return each year. The
example also assumes that the fund’s operating expenses remain the same except
that it reflects the rate and duration of any fee waivers noted in the table
above. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these
assumptions your costs would be:

Portfolio
Turnover
Because
the fund buys and sells shares of other American Century mutual funds directly
from the issuers, the fund is not expected to incur transaction costs directly
other than transaction costs associated with purchasing exchange-traded funds.
However, as a shareholder in the underlying mutual funds, the fund indirectly
pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when the underlying mutual funds
buy and sell securities (or “turn over” their portfolios). A higher portfolio
turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher
taxes when fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not
reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the fund’s
performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the fund’s portfolio turnover
rate was 28% of the average value of its
portfolio.
One Choice
Blend+ 2030 Portfolio is a “fund of funds,” meaning that it seeks to achieve its
objective by investing in other mutual funds and exchange-traded funds (ETFs)
advised by American Century (collectively, the underlying funds) that represent
a variety of asset classes and investment styles. The underlying
stock funds draw on growth, value and quantitative investment techniques and
diversify investments among small, medium and large U.S. and foreign companies.
The underlying bond funds invest in fixed-income securities that vary by issuer
type (corporate and government), credit quality (investment-grade and high-yield
or “junk bonds”) and geographic exposure (domestic and international).
Short-term investments include underlying funds that invest in fixed-income or
debt instruments and have a shorter-term weighted average duration, typically
three years or less. The following table indicates the fund’s neutral mix; that
is, how the fund’s investments generally will be allocated among the major asset
classes as of the date of this prospectus.

The
target date in the fund name (2030) refers to the approximate year an investor
plans to retire and likely would stop making new investments in the fund. The
target date does not necessarily represent the specific year you expect to need
your assets. It is intended only as a general guide and assumes a retirement age
of 65. The fund may not be appropriate for an investor who plans to retire at or
near the target date, but at an age well before or after 65. The fund is
designed for investors who plan to withdraw the value of their account gradually
after retirement. Over time, the fund’s neutral mix will become more
conservative by decreasing the allocation to stocks and increasing the
allocation to bonds and short-term investments. The fund will reach its most
conservative allocation approximately five years after the target date, at which
point its neutral mix is expected to become fixed at 40% stock funds, 54% bond
funds and 6% short-term funds. The following chart shows how the neutral mix is
expected to change over time according to a predetermined glide
path.
The
portfolio managers regularly review the fund’s allocations to determine whether
rebalancing is appropriate. In order to better balance risks in changing market
environments, the portfolio managers may make modest deviations from the neutral
mix in light of prevailing market conditions. We reserve the right to modify the
neutral mix and underlying funds from time to time should circumstances warrant
a change.
•Allocation
Risk – The fund’s performance and risks depend in part on the
managers’ skill in determining the fund’s neutral mix, selecting and weighting
the underlying funds, and implementing any deviations from the neutral mix. The
managers’ evaluations and assumptions regarding asset classes or underlying
funds may differ from actual market conditions.
•Fund
of Funds Risks
– The fund’s performance and risks reflect the performance and risks of the
underlying American Century Investments funds in which it invests. The fund’s
investment in other American Century Investments funds may create a conflict of
interest for the fund’s advisor.
•ETF
Risk
– ETF shares are based on market price rather than net asset value (NAV), as a
result, shares may trade at a price greater than NAV (a premium) or less than
NAV (a discount). The fund may also incur brokerage commissions, as well as the
cost of the bid/ask spread, when purchasing or selling ETF
shares.
•“Growth”
and “Value” Style Risks –
The underlying funds represent a mix of investment styles, each of which has
risks associated with it. Growth stocks can be volatile and may lack dividends
that can cushion share prices during market declines. Value stocks may continue
to be undervalued by the market for long periods of
time.
•Small-
and Mid-Cap Stock Risks –
Stocks of smaller companies may be more volatile than larger-company stocks.
Smaller companies may have limited financial resources, product lines and
markets, and their securities may trade less frequently and in more limited
volumes than the securities of larger companies, which could lead to higher
transaction costs. To the extent an underlying fund invests in these companies,
it may take on more risk.
•Interest
Rate Risk –
Generally, when interest rates rise, the value of an underlying fund’s
fixed-income securities will decline. The opposite is true when interest rates
decline. Underlying funds with longer weighted average maturities are more
sensitive to interest rate changes. A period of rising interest rates may
negatively affect the performance of underlying fixed-income
funds.
•Credit
Risk
– The value of an underlying fund’s fixed-income securities will be affected
adversely by any erosion in the ability of the issuers of these securities to
make interest and principal payments as they become due. Changes in the credit
rating of a fixed-income security held by an underlying fund could have a
similar effect.
•Foreign
Securities Risk –
Some of the underlying funds invest in foreign securities, which are generally
riskier than U.S. securities. Political events, social and economic events,
natural disasters and public health emergencies occurring in a country where the
fund invests could cause the fund's investments in that country to experience
gains or losses. Securities of foreign issuers may be less liquid, more volatile
and harder to value than U.S. securities. Fluctuations in currency exchange
rates also may affect an underlying fund’s share price. Investing in securities
of companies located in emerging market countries is generally riskier than
investing in securities of companies located in developed foreign
countries.
•High-Yield
Securities Risk – Some of the underlying funds may invest in high-yield
securities, which are considered to have speculative characteristics and are
more likely to be negatively affected by changes in economic
conditions.
•Market
Risk –
The value of the fund’s shares will go up and down based on the performance of
the underlying funds in which it invests. The value of the underlying funds’
shares will, in turn, fluctuate based on the performance of the securities they
own and other factors generally affecting the securities market. Market risks,
including political, regulatory, economic and social developments, can affect
the value of the fund’s investments. Natural disasters, public health
emergencies, war, terrorism and other unforeseeable events may lead to increased
market volatility and may have adverse long-term effects on world economies and
markets generally.
•Principal
Loss Risk
–
At any given time your shares may be worth less than the price you paid for
them. In other words, it is possible to lose money by investing in the fund,
including losses near to, at, or after retirement. There is no guarantee that
the fund will provide adequate income at or through your
retirement.
An
investment in the fund is not a bank deposit, and it is not insured or
guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) or any other
government agency.
The following
bar chart and table provide some indication of the risks of investing in the
fund. The bar chart shows changes in the fund’s performance from year to year
for Investor Class shares. The table shows how the fund’s average annual returns
for the periods shown compared with those of broad measures of market
performance. The table also shows returns for the
S&P Target Date to 2030 Index, which the advisor considers to be more
representative of the fund’s investment strategy. The fund’s past performance (before
and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of how the fund
will perform in the future. For current performance
information, including yields, please visit americancentury.com.
Sales
charges and account fees, if applicable, are not reflected in the bar chart. If
those charges were included, returns would be less than those
shown.

Because
the fund buys and sells shares of other American Century mutual funds directly
from the issuers, the fund is not expected to incur transaction costs directly
other than transaction costs associated with purchasing exchange-traded funds.
However, as a shareholder in the underlying mutual funds, the fund indirectly
pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when the underlying mutual funds
buy and sell securities (or “turn over” their portfolios). A higher portfolio
turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher
taxes when fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not
reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the fund’s
performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the fund’s portfolio turnover
rate was 22% of the average value of its
portfolio.
One Choice
Blend+ 2035 Portfolio is a “fund of funds,” meaning that it seeks to achieve its
objective by investing in other mutual funds and exchange-traded funds (ETFs)
advised by American Century (collectively, the underlying funds) that represent
a variety of asset classes and investment styles. The underlying
stock funds draw on growth, value and quantitative investment techniques and
diversify investments among small, medium and large U.S. and foreign companies.
The underlying bond funds invest in fixed-income securities that vary by issuer
type (corporate and government), credit quality (investment-grade and high-yield
or “junk bonds”) and geographic exposure (domestic and international).
Short-term investments include underlying funds that invest in fixed-income or
debt instruments and have a shorter-term weighted average duration, typically
three years or less. The following table indicates the fund’s neutral mix; that
is, how the fund’s investments generally will be allocated among the major asset
classes as of the date of this prospectus.

The
target date in the fund name (2035) refers to the approximate year an investor
plans to retire and likely would stop making new investments in the fund. The
target date does not necessarily represent the specific year you expect to need
your assets. It is intended only as a general guide and assumes a retirement age
of 65. The fund may not be appropriate for an investor who plans to retire at or
near the target date, but at an age well before or after 65. The fund is
designed for investors who plan to withdraw the value of their account gradually
after retirement. Over time, the fund’s neutral mix will become more
conservative by decreasing the allocation to stocks and increasing the
allocation to bonds and short-term investments. The fund will reach its most
conservative allocation approximately five years after the target date, at which
point its neutral mix is expected to become fixed at 40% stock funds, 54% bond
funds and 6% short-term funds. The following chart shows how the neutral mix is
expected to change over time according to a predetermined glide
path.
The
portfolio managers regularly review the fund’s allocations to determine whether
rebalancing is appropriate. In order to better balance risks in changing market
environments, the portfolio managers may make modest deviations from the neutral
mix in light of prevailing market conditions. We reserve the right to modify the
neutral mix and underlying funds from time to time should circumstances warrant
a change.
•Allocation
Risk – The fund’s performance and risks depend in part on the
managers’ skill in determining the fund’s neutral mix, selecting and weighting
the underlying funds, and implementing any deviations from the neutral mix. The
managers’ evaluations and assumptions regarding asset classes or underlying
funds may differ from actual market conditions.
•Fund
of Funds Risks
– The fund’s performance and risks reflect the performance and risks of the
underlying American Century Investments funds in which it invests. The fund’s
investment in other American Century Investments funds may create a conflict of
interest for the fund’s advisor.
•ETF
Risk
– ETF shares are based on market price rather than net asset value (NAV), as a
result, shares may trade at a price greater than NAV (a premium) or less than
NAV (a discount). The fund may also incur brokerage commissions, as well as the
cost of the bid/ask spread, when purchasing or selling ETF
shares.
•“Growth”
and “Value” Style Risks –
The underlying funds represent a mix of investment styles, each of which has
risks associated with it. Growth stocks can be volatile and may lack dividends
that can cushion share prices during market declines. Value stocks may continue
to be undervalued by the market for long periods of
time.
•Small-
and Mid-Cap Stock Risks –
Stocks of smaller companies may be more volatile than larger-company stocks.
Smaller companies may have limited financial resources, product lines and
markets, and their securities may trade less frequently and in more limited
volumes than the securities of larger companies, which could lead to higher
transaction costs. To the extent an underlying fund invests in these companies,
it may take on more risk.
•Interest
Rate Risk –
Generally, when interest rates rise, the value of an underlying fund’s
fixed-income securities will decline. The opposite is true when interest rates
decline. Underlying funds with longer weighted average maturities are more
sensitive to interest rate changes. A period of rising interest rates may
negatively affect the performance of underlying fixed-income
funds.
•Credit
Risk
– The value of an underlying fund’s fixed-income securities will be affected
adversely by any erosion in the ability of the issuers of these securities to
make interest and principal payments as they become due. Changes in the credit
rating of a fixed-income security held by an underlying fund could have a
similar effect.
•Foreign
Securities Risk – Some of the underlying funds invest in foreign securities,
which are generally riskier than U.S. securities. Political events, social and
economic events, natural disasters and public health emergencies occurring in a
country where the fund invests could cause the fund's investments in that
country to experience gains or losses. Securities of foreign issuers may be less
liquid, more volatile and harder to value than U.S. securities. Fluctuations in
currency exchange rates also may affect an underlying fund’s share
price.
•Emerging
Market Risk - Investing
in securities of companies located in emerging market countries generally is
also riskier than investing in securities of companies located in foreign
developed countries. Emerging market countries may have unstable governments
and/or economies that are subject to sudden change. These changes may be
magnified by the countries’ emergent financial markets, resulting in significant
volatility to investments in these countries.
•Market
Risk –
The value of the fund’s shares will go up and down based on the performance of
the underlying funds in which it invests. The value of the underlying funds’
shares will, in turn, fluctuate based on the performance of the securities they
own and other factors generally affecting the securities market. Market risks,
including political, regulatory, economic and social developments, can affect
the value of the fund’s investments. Natural disasters, public health
emergencies, war, terrorism and other unforeseeable events may lead to increased
market volatility and may have adverse long-term effects on world economies and
markets generally.
•Principal
Loss Risk –
At any given time your shares may be worth less than the price you paid for
them. In other words, it is possible to lose money by investing in the fund,
including losses near to, at, or after retirement. There is no guarantee that
the fund will provide adequate income at or through your
retirement.
An
investment in the fund is not a bank deposit, and it is not insured or
guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) or any other
government agency.
The following
bar chart and table provide some indication of the risks of investing in the
fund. The bar chart shows changes in the fund’s performance from year to year
for Investor Class shares. The table shows how the fund’s average annual returns
for the periods shown compared with those of broad measures of market
performance. The table also
shows returns for the S&P Target Date to 2035
Index, which the advisor considers to be more representative of the
fund’s investment strategy. The fund’s
past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of
how the fund will perform in the future. For current performance
information, including yields, please visit americancentury.com.
Sales
charges and account fees, if applicable, are not reflected in the bar chart. If
those charges were included, returns would be less than those
shown.

You
may purchase or redeem shares of the fund on any business day through our
website at americancentury.com, in person (at one of our Investor Centers), by
mail (American Century Investments, P.O. Box 419200, Kansas City, MO
64141-6200), by telephone at 1-800-345-2021 (Investor Services Representative)
or 1-800-345-3533 (Business, Not-For-Profit and Employer-Sponsored Retirement
Plans), or through a financial intermediary. Shares may be purchased and
redemption proceeds received by electronic bank transfer, by check or by
wire.
Unless
otherwise specified below, the minimum initial investment amount to open an
account is $2,500 ($1,000 for Coverdell Education Savings Accounts and IRAs).
However, American Century Investments will waive the fund minimum if you make an
initial investment of at least $500 and continue to make automatic investments
of at least $100 a month until reaching the fund minimum. Investors opening
accounts through financial intermediaries may open an account with $250 for
Investor, A and R Classes, but the financial intermediaries may require their
clients to meet different investment minimums. The minimum may be waived for
broker-dealer sponsored wrap program accounts, fee based accounts, and accounts
through bank/trust and wealth management advisory organizations.
The
minimum initial investment amount for I Class is generally $5 million ($3
million for endowments and foundations), but the minimum may be waived if you
have an aggregate investment in the American Century family of funds of $10
million or more ($5 million for endowments and foundations). This includes
accounts held directly with American Century and those held through a financial
intermediary.
There
is no minimum initial investment amount for R6 Class shares.
For
all share classes, there is no minimum initial investment amount for certain
employer-sponsored retirement plans, however, financial intermediaries or plan
recordkeepers may require plans to meet different minimums. There is a $50
minimum for subsequent purchases, except that there is no subsequent purchase
minimum for financial intermediaries or employer-sponsored retirement
plans.
Fund
distributions are generally taxable as ordinary income or capital gains, unless
you are investing through a tax-deferred account such as a 401(k) or individual
retirement account (in which case you may be taxed upon withdrawal of your
investment from such account).
If
you purchase the fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary
(such as a bank, insurance company, plan sponsor or financial professional), the
fund and its related companies may pay the intermediary for the sale of fund
shares and related services in all classes except the R6 Class. These payments
may create a conflict of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other
intermediary and your salesperson to recommend the fund over another investment.
Ask your salesperson or visit your financial intermediary’s website for more
information.
The
fund seeks the highest total return consistent with its asset
mix.
The
following table describes the fees and expenses you may pay if you buy, hold,
and sell shares of the fund. You may pay other fees, such as brokerage
commissions and other fees to financial intermediaries, which are not reflected
in the tables and examples below. You may qualify for sales charge discounts
if you and your family invest, or agree to invest in the future, at least
$50,000 in
American Century Investments funds. More information about these
and other discounts is available from your financial professional and in

Example
The example below is intended to help you compare the costs of
investing in the fund with the costs of investing in other mutual
funds. The example assumes that you invest
$10,000 in the fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your
shares at the end of those periods, that you earn a 5% return each year, and
that the fund’s operating expenses remain the same. Although your actual costs
may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would

fund’s broad-based securities market index changed from the S&P Target Date
to 2040 Index as a result of recent regulatory changes requiring that such index
represent the overall applicable securities
market.
The after-tax returns are
shown only for Investor Class shares. After-tax returns for other share classes
will vary. After-tax returns are
calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax
rates and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes.
Actual after-tax returns
depend on an investor’s tax situation and may differ from those shown. After-tax
returns are not relevant to investors who hold their fund shares through
tax-deferred arrangements, such as 401(k) plans or
IRAs.

You
may purchase or redeem shares of the fund on any business day through our
website at americancentury.com, in person (at one of our Investor Centers), by
mail (American Century Investments, P.O. Box 419200, Kansas City, MO
64141-6200), by telephone at 1-800-345-2021 (Investor Services Representative)
or 1-800-345-3533 (Business, Not-For-Profit and Employer-Sponsored Retirement
Plans), or through a financial intermediary. Shares may be purchased and
redemption proceeds received by electronic bank transfer, by check or by
wire.
Unless
otherwise specified below, the minimum initial investment amount to open an
account is $2,500 ($1,000 for Coverdell Education Savings Accounts and IRAs).
However, American Century Investments will waive the fund minimum if you make an
initial investment of at least $500 and continue to make automatic investments
of at least $100 a month until reaching the fund minimum. Investors opening
accounts through financial intermediaries may open an account with $250 for
Investor, A and R Classes, but the financial intermediaries may require their
clients to meet different investment minimums. The minimum may be waived for
broker-dealer sponsored wrap program accounts, fee based accounts, and accounts
through bank/trust and wealth management advisory organizations.
The
minimum initial investment amount for I Class is generally $5 million ($3
million for endowments and foundations), but the minimum may be waived if you
have an aggregate investment in the American Century family of funds of $10
million or more ($5 million for endowments and foundations). This includes
accounts held directly with American Century and those held through a financial
intermediary.
There
is no minimum initial investment amount for R6 Class shares.
For
all share classes, there is no minimum initial investment amount for certain
employer-sponsored retirement plans, however, financial intermediaries or plan
recordkeepers may require plans to meet different minimums. There is a $50
minimum for subsequent purchases, except that there is no subsequent purchase
minimum for financial intermediaries or employer-sponsored retirement
plans.
Fund
distributions are generally taxable as ordinary income or capital gains, unless
you are investing through a tax-deferred account such as a 401(k) or individual
retirement account (in which case you may be taxed upon withdrawal of your
investment from such account).
If
you purchase the fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary
(such as a bank, insurance company, plan sponsor or financial professional), the
fund and its related companies may pay the intermediary for the sale of fund
shares and related services in all classes except the R6 Class. These payments
may create a conflict of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other
intermediary and your salesperson to recommend the fund over another investment.
Ask your salesperson or visit your financial intermediary’s website for more
information.
The
fund seeks the highest total return consistent with its asset
mix.
The
following table describes the fees and expenses you may pay if you buy, hold,
and sell shares of the fund. You may pay other fees, such as brokerage
commissions and other fees to financial intermediaries, which are not reflected
in the tables and examples below. You may qualify for sales charge discounts
if you and your family invest, or agree to invest in the future, at least
$50,000 in
American Century Investments funds. More information about these
and other discounts is available from your financial professional and in

Example
The example below is intended to help you compare the costs of
investing in the fund with the costs of investing in other mutual
funds. The example assumes that you invest
$10,000 in the fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your
shares at the end of those periods, that you earn a 5% return each year, and
that the fund’s operating expenses remain the same. Although your actual costs
may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would
be:

Portfolio
Turnover
Because
the fund buys and sells shares of other American Century mutual funds directly
from the issuers, the fund is not expected to incur transaction costs directly
other than transaction costs associated with purchasing exchange-traded funds.
However, as a shareholder in the underlying mutual funds, the fund indirectly
pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when the underlying mutual funds
buy and sell securities (or “turn over” their portfolios). A higher portfolio
turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher
taxes when fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not
reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the fund’s
performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the fund’s portfolio turnover
rate was 43% of the average value of its
portfolio.
One Choice
Blend+ 2045 Portfolio is a “fund of funds,” meaning that it seeks to achieve its
objective by investing in other mutual funds and exchange-traded funds (ETFs)
advised by American Century (collectively, the underlying funds) that represent
a variety of asset classes and investment styles. The underlying
stock funds draw on growth, value and quantitative investment techniques and
diversify investments among small, medium and large U.S. and foreign companies.
The underlying bond funds invest in fixed-income securities that vary by issuer
type (corporate and government), credit quality (investment-grade and high-yield
or “junk bonds”) and geographic exposure (domestic and international).
Short-term investments include underlying funds that invest in fixed-income or
debt instruments and have a shorter-term weighted average duration, typically
three years or less. The following table indicates the fund’s neutral mix; that
is, how the fund’s investments generally will be allocated among the major asset
classes as of the date of this prospectus.

The
target date in the fund name (2045) refers to the approximate year an investor
plans to retire and likely would stop making new investments in the fund. The
target date does not necessarily represent the specific year you expect to need
your assets. It is intended only as a general guide and assumes a retirement age
of 65. The fund may not be appropriate for an investor who plans to retire at or
near the target date, but at an age well before or after 65. The fund is
designed for investors who plan to withdraw the value of their account gradually
after retirement. Over time, the fund’s neutral mix will become more
conservative by decreasing the allocation to stocks and increasing the
allocation to bonds and short-term investments. The fund will reach its most
conservative allocation approximately five years after the target date, at which
point its neutral mix is expected to become fixed at 40% stock funds, 54% bond
funds and 6% short-term funds. The following chart shows how the neutral mix is
expected to change over time according to a predetermined glide
path.
The
portfolio managers regularly review the fund’s allocations to determine whether
rebalancing is appropriate. In order to better balance risks in changing market
environments, the portfolio managers may make modest deviations from the neutral
mix in light of prevailing market conditions. We reserve the right to modify the
neutral mix and underlying funds from time to time should circumstances warrant
a change.
•Allocation
Risk – The fund’s performance and risks depend in part on the
managers’ skill in determining the fund’s neutral mix, selecting and weighting
the underlying funds, and implementing any deviations from the neutral mix. The
managers’ evaluations and assumptions regarding asset classes or underlying
funds may differ from actual market conditions.
•Fund
of Funds Risks
– The fund’s performance and risks reflect the performance and risks of the
underlying American Century Investments funds in which it invests. The fund’s
investment in other American Century Investments funds may create a conflict of
interest for the fund’s advisor.
•ETF
Risk
– ETF shares are based on market price rather than net asset value (NAV), as a
result, shares may trade at a price greater than NAV (a premium) or less than
NAV (a discount). The fund may also incur brokerage commissions, as well as the
cost of the bid/ask spread, when purchasing or selling ETF
shares.
•“Growth”
and “Value” Style Risks –
The underlying funds represent a mix of investment styles, each of which has
risks associated with it. Growth stocks can be volatile and may lack dividends
that can cushion share prices during market declines. Value stocks may continue
to be undervalued by the market for long periods of
time.
•Small-
and Mid-Cap Stock Risks –
Stocks of smaller companies may be more volatile than larger-company stocks.
Smaller companies may have limited financial resources, product lines and
markets, and their securities may trade less frequently and in more limited
volumes than the securities of larger companies, which could lead to higher
transaction costs. To the extent an underlying fund invests in these companies,
it may take on more risk.
•Interest
Rate Risk –
Generally, when interest rates rise, the value of an underlying fund’s
fixed-income securities will decline. The opposite is true when interest rates
decline. Underlying funds with longer weighted average maturities are more
sensitive to interest rate changes. A period of rising interest rates may
negatively affect the performance of underlying fixed-income
funds.
•Credit
Risk
– The value of an underlying fund’s fixed-income securities will be affected
adversely by any erosion in the ability of the issuers of these securities to
make interest and principal payments as they become due. Changes in the credit
rating of a fixed-income security held by an underlying fund could have a
similar effect.
•Foreign
Securities Risk –
Some of the underlying funds invest in foreign securities, which are generally
riskier than U.S. securities. Political events, social and economic events,
natural disasters and public health emergencies occurring in a country where the
fund invests could cause the fund's investments in that country to experience
gains or losses. Securities of foreign issuers may be less liquid, more volatile
and harder to value than U.S. securities. Fluctuations in currency exchange
rates also may affect an underlying fund’s share
price.
•Emerging
Market Risk - Investing
in securities of companies located in emerging market countries generally is
also riskier than investing in securities of companies located in foreign
developed countries. Emerging market countries may have unstable governments
and/or economies that are subject to sudden change. These changes may be
magnified by the countries’ emergent financial markets, resulting in significant
volatility to investments in these countries.
•Market
Risk –
The value of the fund’s shares will go up and down based on the performance of
the underlying funds in which it invests. The value of the underlying funds’
shares will, in turn, fluctuate based on the performance of the securities they
own and other factors generally affecting the securities market. Market risks,
including political, regulatory, economic and social developments, can affect
the value of the fund’s investments. Natural disasters, public health
emergencies, war, terrorism and other unforeseeable events may lead to increased
market volatility and may have adverse long-term effects on world economies and
markets generally.
•Principal
Loss Risk
– At any given time your shares may be worth less than the price you paid for
them. In other words, it is possible to lose money by investing in the fund,
including losses near to, at, or after retirement. There is no guarantee that
the fund will provide adequate income at or through your
retirement.
An
investment in the fund is not a bank deposit, and it is not insured or
guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) or any other
government agency.
The following
bar chart and table provide some indication of the risks of investing in the
fund. The bar chart shows changes in the fund’s performance from year to year
for Investor Class shares. The table shows how the fund’s average annual returns
for the periods shown compared with those of broad measures of market
performance. The table also shows returns for the
S&P Target Date to 2045 Index, which the advisor considers to be more
representative of the fund’s investment strategy. The
fund’s past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an
indication of how the fund will perform in the future. For
current performance information, including yields, please visit americancentury.com.
Sales
charges and account fees, if applicable, are not reflected in the bar chart. If
those charges were included, returns would be less than those
shown.

Because
the fund buys and sells shares of other American Century mutual funds directly
from the issuers, the fund is not expected to incur transaction costs directly
other than transaction costs associated with purchasing exchange-traded funds.
However, as a shareholder in the underlying mutual funds, the fund indirectly
pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when the underlying mutual funds
buy and sell securities (or “turn over” their portfolios). A higher portfolio
turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher
taxes when fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not
reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the fund’s
performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the fund’s portfolio turnover
rate was 18% of the average value of its
portfolio.
One Choice
Blend+ 2050 Portfolio is a “fund of funds,” meaning that it seeks to achieve its
objective by investing in other mutual funds and exchange-traded funds (ETFs)
advised by American Century (collectively, the underlying funds) that represent
a variety of asset classes and investment styles. The underlying
stock funds draw on growth, value and quantitative investment techniques and
diversify investments among small, medium and large U.S. and foreign companies.
The underlying bond funds invest in fixed-income securities that vary by issuer
type (corporate and government), credit quality (investment-grade and high-yield
or “junk bonds”) and geographic exposure (domestic and international).
Short-term investments include underlying funds that invest in fixed-income or
debt instruments and have a shorter-term weighted average duration, typically
three years or less. The following table indicates the fund’s neutral mix; that
is, how the fund’s investments generally will be allocated among the major asset
classes as of the date of this prospectus.

The
target date in the fund name (2050) refers to the approximate year an investor
plans to retire and likely would stop making new investments in the fund. The
target date does not necessarily represent the specific year you expect to need
your assets. It is intended only as a general guide and assumes a retirement age
of 65. The fund may not be appropriate for an investor who plans to retire at or
near the target date, but at an age well before or after 65. The fund is
designed for investors who plan to withdraw the value of their account gradually
after retirement. Over time, the fund’s neutral mix will become more
conservative by decreasing the allocation to stocks and increasing the
allocation to bonds and short-term investments. The fund will reach its most
conservative allocation approximately five years after the target date, at which
point its neutral mix is expected to become fixed at 40% stock funds, 54% bond
funds and 6% short-term funds. The following chart shows how the neutral mix is
expected to change over time according to a predetermined glide
path.
The
portfolio managers regularly review the fund’s allocations to determine whether
rebalancing is appropriate. In order to better balance risks in changing market
environments, the portfolio managers may make modest deviations from the neutral
mix in light of prevailing market conditions. We reserve the right to modify the
neutral mix and underlying funds from time to time should circumstances warrant
a change.
•Allocation
Risk – The fund’s performance and risks depend in part on the
managers’ skill in determining the fund’s neutral mix, selecting and weighting
the underlying funds, and implementing any deviations from the neutral mix. The
managers’ evaluations and assumptions regarding asset classes or underlying
funds may differ from actual market conditions.
•Fund
of Funds Risks
– The fund’s performance and risks reflect the performance and risks of the
underlying American Century Investments funds in which it invests. The fund’s
investment in other American Century Investments funds may create a conflict of
interest for the fund’s advisor.
•ETF
Risk
– ETF shares are based on market price rather than net asset value (NAV), as a
result, shares may trade at a price greater than NAV (a premium) or less than
NAV (a discount). The fund may also incur brokerage commissions, as well as the
cost of the bid/ask spread, when purchasing or selling ETF
shares.
•“Growth”
and “Value” Style Risks –
The underlying funds represent a mix of investment styles, each of which has
risks associated with it. Growth stocks can be volatile and may lack dividends
that can cushion share prices during market declines. Value stocks may continue
to be undervalued by the market for long periods of
time.
•Small-
and Mid-Cap Stock Risks –
Stocks of smaller companies may be more volatile than larger-company stocks.
Smaller companies may have limited financial resources, product lines and
markets, and their securities may trade less frequently and in more limited
volumes than the securities of larger companies, which could lead to higher
transaction costs. To the extent an underlying fund invests in these companies,
it may take on more risk.
•Interest
Rate Risk –
Generally, when interest rates rise, the value of an underlying fund’s
fixed-income securities will decline. The opposite is true when interest rates
decline. Underlying funds with longer weighted average maturities are more
sensitive to interest rate changes. A period of rising interest rates may
negatively affect the performance of underlying fixed-income
funds.
•Credit
Risk
– The value of an underlying fund’s fixed-income securities will be affected
adversely by any erosion in the ability of the issuers of these securities to
make interest and principal payments as they become due. Changes in the credit
rating of a fixed-income security held by an underlying fund could have a
similar effect.
•Foreign
Securities Risk – Some of the underlying funds invest in foreign securities,
which are generally riskier than U.S. securities. Political events, social and
economic events, natural disasters and public health emergencies occurring in a
country where the fund invests could cause the fund's investments in that
country to experience gains or losses. Securities of foreign issuers may be less
liquid, more volatile and harder to value than U.S. securities. Fluctuations in
currency exchange rates also may affect an underlying fund’s share
price.
•Emerging
Market Risk - Investing
in securities of companies located in emerging market countries generally is
also riskier than investing in securities of companies located in foreign
developed countries. Emerging market countries may have unstable governments
and/or economies that are subject to sudden change. These changes may be
magnified by the countries’ emergent financial markets, resulting in significant
volatility to investments in these countries.
•Market
Risk –
The value of the fund’s shares will go up and down based on the performance of
the underlying funds in which it invests. The value of the underlying funds’
shares will, in turn, fluctuate based on the performance of the securities they
own and other factors generally affecting the securities market. Market risks,
including political, regulatory, economic and social developments, can affect
the value of the fund’s investments. Natural disasters, public health
emergencies, war, terrorism and other unforeseeable events may lead to increased
market volatility and may have adverse long-term effects on world economies and
markets generally.
•Principal
Loss Risk –
At any given time your shares may be worth less than the price you paid for
them. In other words, it is possible to lose money by investing in the fund,
including losses near to, at, or after retirement. There is no guarantee that
the fund will provide adequate income at or through your
retirement.
An
investment in the fund is not a bank deposit, and it is not insured or
guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) or any other
government agency.
The following
bar chart and table provide some indication of the risks of investing in the
fund. The bar chart shows changes in the fund’s performance from year to year
for Investor Class shares. The table shows how the fund’s average annual returns
for the periods shown compared with those of broad measures of market
performance. The table also shows returns for the
S&P Target Date to 2050 Index, which the advisor considers to be more
representative of the fund’s investment strategy. The
fund’s past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an
indication of how the fund will perform in the future. For
current performance information, including yields, please visit americancentury.com.
Sales
charges and account fees, if applicable, are not reflected in the bar chart. If
those charges were included, returns would be less than those
shown.

rates and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes.

You
may purchase or redeem shares of the fund on any business day through our
website at americancentury.com, in person (at one of our Investor Centers), by
mail (American Century Investments, P.O. Box 419200, Kansas City, MO
64141-6200), by telephone at 1-800-345-2021 (Investor Services Representative)
or 1-800-345-3533 (Business, Not-For-Profit and Employer-Sponsored Retirement
Plans), or through a financial intermediary. Shares may be purchased and
redemption proceeds received by electronic bank transfer, by check or by
wire.
Unless
otherwise specified below, the minimum initial investment amount to open an
account is $2,500 ($1,000 for Coverdell Education Savings Accounts and IRAs).
However, American Century Investments will waive the fund minimum if you make an
initial investment of at least $500 and continue to make automatic investments
of at least $100 a month until reaching the fund minimum. Investors opening
accounts through financial intermediaries may open an account with $250 for
Investor, A and R Classes, but the financial intermediaries may require their
clients to meet different investment minimums. The minimum may be waived for
broker-dealer sponsored wrap program accounts, fee based accounts, and accounts
through bank/trust and wealth management advisory organizations.
The
minimum initial investment amount for I Class is generally $5 million ($3
million for endowments and foundations), but the minimum may be waived if you
have an aggregate investment in the American Century family of funds of $10
million or more ($5 million for endowments and foundations). This includes
accounts held directly with American Century and those held through a financial
intermediary.
There
is no minimum initial investment amount for R6 Class shares.
For
all share classes, there is no minimum initial investment amount for certain
employer-sponsored retirement plans, however, financial intermediaries or plan
recordkeepers may require plans to meet different minimums. There is a $50
minimum for subsequent purchases, except that there is no subsequent purchase
minimum for financial intermediaries or employer-sponsored retirement
plans.
Fund
distributions are generally taxable as ordinary income or capital gains, unless
you are investing through a tax-deferred account such as a 401(k) or individual
retirement account (in which case you may be taxed upon withdrawal of your
investment from such account).
If
you purchase the fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary
(such as a bank, insurance company, plan sponsor or financial professional), the
fund and its related companies may pay the intermediary for the sale of fund
shares and related services in all classes except the R6 Class. These payments
may create a conflict of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other
intermediary and your salesperson to recommend the fund over another investment.
Ask your salesperson or visit your financial intermediary’s website for more
information.
The
fund seeks the highest total return consistent with its asset
mix.
The
following table describes the fees and expenses you may pay if you buy, hold,
and sell shares of the fund. You may pay other fees, such as brokerage
commissions and other fees to financial intermediaries, which are not reflected
in the tables and examples below. You may qualify for sales charge discounts
if you and your family invest, or agree to invest in the future, at least
$50,000 in
American Century Investments funds. More information about these
and other discounts is available from your financial professional and in

Example
The example below is intended to help you compare the costs of
investing in the fund with the costs of investing in other mutual
funds. The example assumes that you invest
$10,000 in the fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your
shares at the end of those periods, that you earn a 5% return each year, and
that the fund’s operating expenses remain the same. Although your actual
costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would

fund’s broad-based securities market index changed from the S&P Target Date
to 2055 Index as a result of recent regulatory changes requiring that such index
represent the overall applicable securities
market.
The after-tax returns are
shown only for Investor Class shares. After-tax returns for other share classes
will vary. After-tax returns are
calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax
rates and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes.
Actual after-tax returns
depend on an investor’s tax situation and may differ from those shown. After-tax
returns are not relevant to investors who hold their fund shares through
tax-deferred arrangements, such as 401(k) plans or
IRAs.

You
may purchase or redeem shares of the fund on any business day through our
website at americancentury.com, in person (at one of our Investor Centers), by
mail (American Century Investments, P.O. Box 419200, Kansas City, MO
64141-6200), by telephone at 1-800-345-2021 (Investor Services Representative)
or 1-800-345-3533 (Business, Not-For-Profit and Employer-Sponsored Retirement
Plans), or through a financial intermediary. Shares may be purchased and
redemption proceeds received by electronic bank transfer, by check or by
wire.
Unless
otherwise specified below, the minimum initial investment amount to open an
account is $2,500 ($1,000 for Coverdell Education Savings Accounts and IRAs).
However, American Century Investments will waive the fund minimum if you make an
initial investment of at least $500 and continue to make automatic investments
of at least $100 a month until reaching the fund minimum. Investors opening
accounts through financial intermediaries may open an account with $250 for
Investor, A and R Classes, but the financial intermediaries may require their
clients to meet different investment minimums. The minimum may be waived for
broker-dealer sponsored wrap program accounts, fee based accounts, and accounts
through bank/trust and wealth management advisory organizations.
The
minimum initial investment amount for I Class is generally $5 million ($3
million for endowments and foundations), but the minimum may be waived if you
have an aggregate investment in the American Century family of funds of $10
million or more ($5 million for endowments and foundations). This includes
accounts held directly with American Century and those held through a financial
intermediary.
There
is no minimum initial investment amount for R6 Class shares.
For
all share classes, there is no minimum initial investment amount for certain
employer-sponsored retirement plans, however, financial intermediaries or plan
recordkeepers may require plans to meet different minimums. There is a $50
minimum for subsequent purchases, except that there is no subsequent purchase
minimum for financial intermediaries or employer-sponsored retirement
plans.
Fund
distributions are generally taxable as ordinary income or capital gains, unless
you are investing through a tax-deferred account such as a 401(k) or individual
retirement account (in which case you may be taxed upon withdrawal of your
investment from such account).
If
you purchase the fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary
(such as a bank, insurance company, plan sponsor or financial professional), the
fund and its related companies may pay the intermediary for the sale of fund
shares and related services in
all
classes except the R6 Class. These payments may create a conflict of interest by
influencing the broker-dealer or other intermediary and your salesperson to
recommend the fund over another investment. Ask your salesperson or visit your
financial intermediary’s website for more information.
The
fund seeks the highest total return consistent with its asset
mix.
The
following table describes the fees and expenses you may pay if you buy, hold,
and sell shares of the fund. You may pay other fees, such as brokerage
commissions and other fees to financial intermediaries, which are not reflected
in the tables and examples below. You may qualify for sales charge discounts
if you and your family invest, or agree to invest in the future, at least
$50,000 in
American Century Investments funds. More information about these
and other discounts is available from your financial professional and in

Example
The example below is intended to help you compare the costs of
investing in the fund with the costs of investing in other mutual
funds. The example assumes that you invest
$10,000 in the fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your
shares at the end of those periods, that you earn a 5% return each year, and
that the fund’s operating expenses remain the same. Although your actual costs
may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would
be:

Portfolio
Turnover
Because
the fund buys and sells shares of other American Century mutual funds directly
from the issuers, the fund is not expected to incur transaction costs directly
other than transaction costs associated with purchasing exchange-traded funds.
However, as a shareholder in the underlying mutual funds, the fund indirectly
pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when the underlying mutual funds
buy and sell securities (or “turn over” their portfolios). A higher portfolio
turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher
taxes when fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not
reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the fund’s
performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the fund’s portfolio turnover
rate was 22% of the average value of its
portfolio.
One Choice
Blend+ 2060 Portfolio is a “fund of funds,” meaning that it seeks to achieve its
objective by investing in other mutual funds and exchange-traded funds (ETFs)
advised by American Century (collectively, the underlying funds) that represent
a variety of asset classes and investment styles. The underlying
stock funds draw on growth, value and quantitative investment techniques and
diversify investments among small, medium and large U.S. and foreign companies.
The underlying bond funds invest in fixed-income securities that vary by issuer
type (corporate and government), credit quality (investment-grade and high-yield
or “junk bonds”) and geographic exposure (domestic and international).
Short-term investments include underlying funds that invest in fixed-income or
debt instruments and have a shorter-term weighted average duration, typically
three years or less. The following table indicates the fund’s neutral mix; that
is, how the fund’s investments generally will be allocated among the major asset
classes as of the date of this prospectus.

The
target date in the fund name (2060) refers to the approximate year an investor
plans to retire and likely would stop making new investments in the fund. The
target date does not necessarily represent the specific year you expect to need
your assets. It is intended only as a general guide and assumes a retirement age
of 65. The fund may not be appropriate for an investor who plans to retire at or
near the target date, but at an age well before or after 65. The fund is
designed for investors who plan to withdraw the value of their account gradually
after retirement. Over time, the fund’s neutral mix will become more
conservative by decreasing the allocation to stocks and increasing the
allocation to bonds and short-term investments. The fund will reach its most
conservative allocation approximately five years after the target date, at which
point its neutral mix is expected to become fixed at 40% stock funds, 54% bond
funds and 6% short-term funds. The following chart shows how the neutral mix is
expected to change over time according to a predetermined glide
path.
The
portfolio managers regularly review the fund’s allocations to determine whether
rebalancing is appropriate. In order to better balance risks in changing market
environments, the portfolio managers may make modest deviations from the neutral
mix in light of prevailing market conditions. We reserve the right to modify the
neutral mix and underlying funds from time to time should circumstances warrant
a change.
•Allocation
Risk – The fund’s performance and risks depend in part on the
managers’ skill in determining the fund’s neutral mix, selecting and weighting
the underlying funds, and implementing any deviations from the neutral mix. The
managers’ evaluations and assumptions regarding asset classes or underlying
funds may differ from actual market conditions.
•Fund
of Funds Risks
– The fund’s performance and risks reflect the performance and risks of the
underlying American Century Investments funds in which it invests. The fund’s
investment in other American Century Investments funds may create a conflict of
interest for the fund’s advisor.
•ETF
Risk
– ETF shares are based on market price rather than net asset value (NAV), as a
result, shares may trade at a price greater than NAV (a premium) or less than
NAV (a discount). The fund may also incur brokerage commissions, as well as the
cost of the bid/ask spread, when purchasing or selling ETF
shares.
•“Growth”
and “Value” Style Risks –
The underlying funds represent a mix of investment styles, each of which has
risks associated with it. Growth stocks can be volatile and may lack dividends
that can cushion share prices during market declines. Value stocks may continue
to be undervalued by the market for long periods of
time.
•Small-
and Mid-Cap Stock Risks –
Stocks of smaller companies may be more volatile than larger-company stocks.
Smaller companies may have limited financial resources, product lines and
markets, and their securities may trade less frequently and in more limited
volumes than the securities of larger companies, which could lead to higher
transaction costs. To the extent an underlying fund invests in these companies,
it may take on more risk.
•Interest
Rate Risk –
Generally, when interest rates rise, the value of an underlying fund’s
fixed-income securities will decline. The opposite is true when interest rates
decline. Underlying funds with longer weighted average maturities are more
sensitive to interest rate changes. A period of rising interest rates may
negatively affect the performance of underlying fixed-income
funds.
•Credit
Risk
– The value of an underlying fund’s fixed-income securities will be affected
adversely by any erosion in the ability of the issuers of these securities to
make interest and principal payments as they become due. Changes in the credit
rating of a fixed-income security held by an underlying fund could have a
similar effect.
•Foreign
Securities Risk – Some of the underlying funds invest in foreign securities,
which are generally riskier than U.S. securities. Political events, social and
economic events, natural disasters and public health emergencies occurring in a
country where the fund invests could cause the fund's investments in that
country to experience gains or losses. Securities of foreign issuers may be less
liquid, more volatile and harder to value than U.S. securities. Fluctuations in
currency exchange rates also may affect an underlying fund’s share
price.
•Emerging
Market Risk - Investing
in securities of companies located in emerging market countries generally is
also riskier than investing in securities of companies located in foreign
developed countries. Emerging market countries may have unstable governments
and/or economies that are subject to sudden change. These changes may be
magnified by the countries’ emergent financial markets, resulting in significant
volatility to investments in these countries.
•Market
Risk –
The value of the fund’s shares will go up and down based on the performance of
the underlying funds in which it invests. The value of the underlying funds’
shares will, in turn, fluctuate based on the performance of the securities they
own and other factors generally affecting the securities market. Market risks,
including political, regulatory, economic and social developments, can affect
the value of the fund’s investments. Natural disasters, public health
emergencies, war, terrorism and other unforeseeable events may lead to increased
market volatility and may have adverse long-term effects on world economies and
markets generally.
•Principal
Loss Risk –
At any given time your shares may be worth less than the price you paid for
them. In other words, it is possible to lose money by investing in the fund,
including losses near to, at, or after retirement. There is no guarantee that
the fund will provide adequate income at or through your
retirement.
An
investment in the fund is not a bank deposit, and it is not insured or
guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) or any other
government agency.
The following
bar chart and table provide some indication of the risks of investing in the
fund. The bar chart shows changes in the fund’s performance from year to year
for Investor Class shares. The table shows how the fund’s average annual returns
for the periods shown compared with those of broad measures of market
performance. The table also shows returns for the
S&P Target Date to 2060 Index, which the advisor considers to be more
representative of the fund’s investment strategy. The
fund’s past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an
indication of how the fund will perform in the future. For
current performance information, including yields, please visit americancentury.com.
Sales
charges and account fees, if applicable, are not reflected in the bar chart. If
those charges were included, returns would be less than those
shown.

Turnover
Because
the fund buys and sells shares of other American Century mutual funds directly
from the issuers, the fund is not expected to incur transaction costs directly
other than transaction costs associated with purchasing exchange-traded funds.
However, as a shareholder in the underlying mutual funds, the fund indirectly
pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when the underlying mutual funds
buy and sell securities (or “turn over” their portfolios). A higher portfolio
turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher
taxes when fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not
reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the fund’s
performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the fund’s portfolio turnover
rate was 17% of the average value of its
portfolio.
One Choice
Blend+ 2065 Portfolio is a “fund of funds,” meaning that it seeks to achieve its
objective by investing in other mutual funds and exchange-traded funds (ETFs)
advised by American Century (collectively, the underlying funds) that represent
a variety of asset classes and investment styles. The underlying
stock funds draw on growth, value and quantitative investment techniques and
diversify investments among small, medium and large U.S. and foreign companies.
The underlying bond funds invest in fixed-income securities that vary by issuer
type (corporate and government), credit quality (investment-grade and high-yield
or “junk bonds”) and geographic exposure (domestic and international).
Short-term investments include underlying funds that invest in fixed-income or
debt instruments and have a shorter-term weighted average duration, typically
three years or less. The following table indicates the fund’s neutral mix; that
is, how the fund’s investments generally will be allocated among the major asset
classes as of the date of this prospectus.

The
target date in the fund name (2065) refers to the approximate year an investor
plans to retire and likely would stop making new investments in the fund. The
target date does not necessarily represent the specific year you expect to need
your assets. It is intended only as a general guide and assumes a retirement age
of 65. The fund may not be appropriate for an investor who plans to retire at or
near the target date, but at an age well before or after 65. The fund is
designed for investors who plan to withdraw the value of their account gradually
after retirement. Over time, the fund’s neutral mix will become more
conservative by decreasing the allocation to stocks and increasing the
allocation to bonds and short-term investments. The fund will reach its most
conservative allocation approximately five years after the target date, at which
point its neutral mix is expected to become fixed at 40% stock funds, 54% bond
funds and 6% short-term funds. The following chart shows how the neutral mix is
expected to change over time according to a predetermined glide
path.
The
portfolio managers regularly review the fund’s allocations to determine whether
rebalancing is appropriate. In order to better balance risks in changing market
environments, the portfolio managers may make modest deviations from the neutral
mix in light of prevailing market conditions. We reserve the right to modify the
neutral mix and underlying funds from time to time should circumstances warrant
a change.
•Allocation
Risk – The fund’s performance and risks depend in part on the
managers’ skill in determining the fund’s neutral mix, selecting and weighting
the underlying funds, and implementing any deviations from the neutral mix. The
managers’ evaluations and assumptions regarding asset classes or underlying
funds may differ from actual market conditions.
•Fund
of Funds Risks
– The fund’s performance and risks reflect the performance and risks of the
underlying American Century Investments funds in which it invests. The fund’s
investment in other American Century Investments funds may create a conflict of
interest for the fund’s advisor.
•ETF
Risk
– ETF shares are based on market price rather than net asset value (NAV), as a
result, shares may trade at a price greater than NAV (a premium) or less than
NAV (a discount). The fund may also incur brokerage commissions, as well as the
cost of the bid/ask spread, when purchasing or selling ETF
shares.
•“Growth”
and “Value” Style Risks –
The underlying funds represent a mix of investment styles, each of which has
risks associated with it. Growth stocks can be volatile and may lack dividends
that can cushion share prices during market declines. Value stocks may continue
to be undervalued by the market for long periods of
time.
•Small-
and Mid-Cap Stock Risks –
Stocks of smaller companies may be more volatile than larger-company stocks.
Smaller companies may have limited financial resources, product lines and
markets, and their securities may trade less frequently and in more limited
volumes than the securities of larger companies, which could lead to higher
transaction costs. To the extent an underlying fund invests in these companies,
it may take on more risk.
•Interest
Rate Risk –
Generally, when interest rates rise, the value of an underlying fund’s
fixed-income securities will decline. The opposite is true when interest rates
decline. Underlying funds with longer weighted average maturities are more
sensitive to interest rate changes. A period of rising interest rates may
negatively affect the performance of underlying fixed-income
funds.
•Credit
Risk
– The value of an underlying fund’s fixed-income securities will be affected
adversely by any erosion in the ability of the issuers of these securities to
make interest and principal payments as they become due. Changes in the credit
rating of a fixed-income security held by an underlying fund could have a
similar effect.
•Foreign
Securities Risk – Some of the underlying funds invest in foreign securities,
which are generally riskier than U.S. securities. Political events, social and
economic events, natural disasters and public health emergencies occurring in a
country where the fund invests could cause the fund's investments in that
country to experience gains or losses. Securities of foreign issuers may be less
liquid, more volatile and harder to value than U.S. securities. Fluctuations in
currency exchange rates also may affect an underlying fund’s share
price.
•Emerging
Market Risk - Investing
in securities of companies located in emerging market countries generally is
also riskier than investing in securities of companies located in foreign
developed countries. Emerging market countries may have unstable governments
and/or economies that are subject to sudden change. These changes may be
magnified by the countries’ emergent financial markets, resulting in significant
volatility to investments in these countries.
•Market
Risk –
The value of the fund’s shares will go up and down based on the performance of
the underlying funds in which it invests. The value of the underlying funds’
shares will, in turn, fluctuate based on the performance of the securities they
own and other factors generally affecting the securities market. Market risks,
including political, regulatory, economic and social developments, can affect
the value of the fund’s investments. Natural disasters, public health
emergencies, war, terrorism and other unforeseeable events may lead to increased
market volatility and may have adverse long-term effects on world economies and
markets generally.
•Principal
Loss Risk –
At any given time your shares may be worth less than the price you paid for
them. In other words, it is possible to lose money by investing in the fund,
including losses near to, at, or after retirement. There is no guarantee that
the fund will provide adequate income at or through your
retirement.
An
investment in the fund is not a bank deposit, and it is not insured or
guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) or any other
government agency.
The following
bar chart and table provide some indication of the risks of investing in the
fund. The bar chart shows changes in the fund’s performance from year to year
for Investor Class shares. The table shows how the fund’s average annual returns
for the periods shown compared with those of broad measures of market
performance. The table also shows returns for the
S&P Target Date to 2065+ Index, which the advisor considers to be more
representative of the fund’s investment strategy. The
fund’s past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an
indication of how the fund will perform in the future. For
current performance information, including yields, please visit americancentury.com.
Sales
charges and account fees, if applicable, are not reflected in the bar chart. If
those charges were included, returns would be less than those
shown.

You
may purchase or redeem shares of the fund on any business day through our
website at americancentury.com, in person (at one of our Investor Centers), by
mail (American Century Investments, P.O. Box 419200, Kansas City, MO
64141-6200), by telephone at 1-800-345-2021 (Investor Services Representative)
or 1-800-345-3533 (Business, Not-For-Profit and Employer-Sponsored Retirement
Plans), or through a financial intermediary. Shares may be purchased and
redemption proceeds received by electronic bank transfer, by check or by
wire.
Unless
otherwise specified below, the minimum initial investment amount to open an
account is $2,500 ($1,000 for Coverdell Education Savings Accounts and IRAs).
However, American Century Investments will waive the fund minimum if you make an
initial investment of at least $500 and continue to make automatic investments
of at least $100 a month until reaching the fund minimum. Investors opening
accounts through financial intermediaries may open an account with $250 for
Investor, A and R Classes, but the financial intermediaries may require their
clients to meet different investment minimums. The minimum may be waived for
broker-dealer sponsored wrap program accounts, fee based accounts, and accounts
through bank/trust and wealth management advisory organizations.
The
minimum initial investment amount for I Class is generally $5 million ($3
million for endowments and foundations), but the minimum may be waived if you
have an aggregate investment in the American Century family of funds of $10
million or more ($5 million for endowments and foundations). This includes
accounts held directly with American Century and those held through a financial
intermediary.
There
is no minimum initial investment amount for R6 Class shares.
For
all share classes, there is no minimum initial investment amount for certain
employer-sponsored retirement plans, however, financial intermediaries or plan
recordkeepers may require plans to meet different minimums. There is a $50
minimum for subsequent purchases, except that there is no subsequent purchase
minimum for financial intermediaries or employer-sponsored retirement
plans.
Fund
distributions are generally taxable as ordinary income or capital gains, unless
you are investing through a tax-deferred account such as a 401(k) or individual
retirement account (in which case you may be taxed upon withdrawal of your
investment from such account).
If
you purchase the fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary
(such as a bank, insurance company, plan sponsor or financial professional), the
fund and its related companies may pay the intermediary for the sale of fund
shares and related services in all classes except the R6 Class. These payments
may create a conflict of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other
intermediary and your salesperson to recommend the fund over another investment.
Ask your salesperson or visit your financial intermediary’s website for more
information.
What
are the funds’ investment objectives?
Each
of One Choice Blend+ 2015, 2020, 2025, 2030, 2035, 2040, 2045, 2050, 2055, 2060,

return
consistent with its asset mix.

Total

includes capital appreciation plus dividend and interest
income. |
Each
Portfolio’s objective is a nonfundamental investment policy and may be changed
by the Board of Directors without shareholder approval upon 60 days’ notice to
the shareholders.
What
are the funds’ principal investment strategies?
Each
fund invests in a combination of underlying funds advised by American Century
Investments. Each fund’s neutral mix is intended to diversify investments among
various asset classes such as stocks, bonds and short-term investments. Over
time, the neutral mix will be adjusted in a step-like fashion. For example,
assume the current stock weighting in One Choice Blend+ 2035 Portfolio is
approximately 63.7% and the stock weighting in One Choice Blend+ 2030 Portfolio
is approximately 55%. Over time, we would expect to reduce the stock weighting
in One Choice Blend+ 2035 Portfolio. Over a five year period the stock weighting
would be reduced to approximately 55%. In effect, One Choice Blend+ 2035
Portfolio is expected to have the same stock weighting in five years as One
Choice Blend+ 2030 Portfolio has now. Each fund's neutral mix will continue to
become more conservative until five years after its target date, at which point
the fund's allocations will become fixed. One Choice Blend+ 2015 Portfolio's
neutral mix reflects the most conservative allocation, which is currently fixed
at 40% stock funds, 54% bond funds and 6% short-term funds. A fund with an
earlier target date represents a more conservative choice. A fund with a later
target date represents a more aggressive choice. The target date does not
necessarily represent the specific year you expect to need your assets. It is
intended only as a general guide and assumes a retirement age of
65.
The
following table shows each fund’s neutral mix as of the date of this prospectus.

In
order to better balance risks in changing market environments, the portfolio
managers may make modest deviations from the neutral mix in light of prevailing
market conditions. We reserve the right to modify the neutral mix and underlying
funds from time to time should circumstances warrant a change.
The
portfolio managers regularly review each fund to determine whether rebalancing
is appropriate.
A
description of the policies and procedures with respect to the disclosure of the
funds’ portfolio securities is available in the statement of additional
information.
What
are the underlying funds’ investment techniques?
The
underlying stock funds draw on growth, value and quantitative investment
techniques and diversify investments among small, medium and large U.S.
companies. They also include investments in the real estate sector as well as
foreign stocks from developed and emerging markets.
The
growth strategy looks for stocks of companies the portfolio managers believe
will increase in value over time. In implementing this strategy, the portfolio
managers use a variety of analytical research tools and techniques to identify
stocks of companies demonstrating accelerating earnings or revenue growth rates,
stock price momentum, increasing cash flows, or other indications of the
relative strength of a company’s business. The value investment discipline seeks
capital growth by investing in equity securities of companies that the funds’
portfolio managers believe to be temporarily undervalued. For underlying funds
that are quantitatively managed, the managers utilize quantitative,
computer-driven models to construct and manage portfolios that they believe
provide the optimal balance between risk and expected return.
The
underlying bond funds represent a diverse range of fixed-income investments that
vary by issuer type (corporate and government), credit quality (investment-grade
and high-yield or “junk bonds”) and geographic exposure (domestic and
international).
Short-term
investments include underlying funds that invest in fixed-income or debt
instruments and have a shorter-term weighted average duration, typically three
years or less.
A
brief description of the underlying funds follows. Each fund invests in some,
but not necessarily all, of the underlying funds listed, and may also invest in
other American Century or Avantis funds that are not listed. Each fund’s full
portfolio holdings are posted on americancentury.com on a quarterly basis.
Additional details regarding the strategies and risks of the underlying funds
are available in the statement of additional information and the underlying
funds’ prospectuses, which are available at americancentury.com or
avantisinvestors.com.

What
are the principal risks of investing in the funds?
Each
fund’s performance and risks depend in part on the managers’ skill in
determining the fund’s neutral mix, selecting and weighting the underlying
funds, and implementing any deviations from the neutral mix. There is a risk
that the managers’ evaluations and assumptions regarding asset classes or
underlying funds may differ from actual market conditions.
Each
fund’s performance and risks reflect the performance and risks of the underlying
mutual funds and ETFs in which it invests. Some of these risks relate to
investments in stocks. Others relate primarily to fixed-income or foreign
investments. The degree to which the risks described below apply to a particular
fund varies according to its asset allocation.
The
fund may hold a significant percentage of the shares of an underlying fund. As a
result, the fund’s investments in an underlying American Century Investments
fund may create a conflict of interest for the advisor.
ETF
shares are based on market price rather than NAV, as a result, shares may trade
at a price greater than NAV (a premium) or less than NAV (a discount). The funds
may also incur brokerage commissions, as well as the cost of the bid/ask spread,
when purchase or selling ETF shares.
Market
performance tends to be cyclical. In the various cycles, certain investment
styles, such as growth and value styles, may fall in and out of favor. If the
market is not favoring an underlying fund’s style, that fund’s gains may not be
as big as, or its losses may be bigger than, those of other equity funds using
different investment styles.
Growth
stocks are typically priced higher than other stocks, in relation to earnings
and other measures, because investors believe they have more growth potential.
This potential may or may not be realized. If the portfolio managers’ assessment
of a company’s prospects for earnings or growth or how other investors will
value the company’s earnings growth is incorrect, the price of the company’s
stock may fall or fail to reach the value the managers have placed on it. Growth
stock prices tend to fluctuate more dramatically than the overall stock
market.
Similarly,
if the market does not consider the individual stocks purchased by a value fund
to be undervalued, the fund’s shares may not rise as high as other funds and may
in fact decline, even if stock prices generally are increasing.
Underlying
funds that invest in mid-sized and smaller companies may be more volatile, and
subject to greater short-term risk, than funds that invest in larger companies.
Smaller companies may have limited financial resources, product lines and
markets, and their securities may trade less frequently and in more limited
volumes than the securities of larger companies. In addition, smaller companies
may have less publicly available information.
The
value of an underlying fund’s fixed-income
securities
will be affected by rising or falling interest rates. Generally interest rates
and the prices of debt securities move in opposite directions. When interest
rates fall, the prices of most debt securities rise; when interest rates rise,
prices fall. Funds with longer weighted maturities are more sensitive to
interest rate changes. A period of rising interest rates may negatively affect
the funds’ performance.

Fixed-income
securities
are rated by nationally recognized securities rating organizations (SROs),
such as Moody’s and Standard & Poor’s. Each SRO has its own system for
classifying securities, but each tries to indicate a company’s ability to
make timely payments of interest and principal. |
The
value of an underlying fund’s fixed-income securities also will be affected by
the inability or perceived inability of the issuers of these securities to make
payments of interest and principal as they become due.
The
lowest-rated investment-grade bonds in which the underlying funds may invest
contain some speculative characteristics. Having those bonds in the funds’
portfolios means the funds’ values may go down more if interest rates or other
economic conditions change than if the funds contained only higher-rated bonds.
In addition, higher-risk high-yield securities, which are below investment-grade
and sometimes referred to as junk bonds, are considered to be predominantly
speculative and are more likely to be negatively affected by changes in interest
rates or other economic conditions.
Some
of the underlying funds invest in foreign securities. Foreign investment
involves additional risks, including fluctuations in currency exchange rates,
less stable political and economic structures, reduced availability of public
information, and lack of uniform financial reporting and regulatory practices
similar to those that apply in the United States. These factors make investing
in foreign securities generally riskier than investing in U.S. securities.
Securities of foreign issuers may be less liquid, more volatile and harder to
value than U.S. securities. Investing in securities of companies located in
emerging market countries is also riskier than investing in securities of
companies located in foreign developed countries.
Investing
in securities of issuers located in emerging market countries generally is
riskier than investing in securities of companies located in foreign developed
countries. Emerging market countries may have unstable governments and/or
economies that are subject to sudden change. These changes may be magnified by
the countries’ emergent financial markets, resulting in significant volatility
to investments in these countries. These countries also may lack the legal,
business and social framework to support securities markets.
The
value of an underlying fund’s shares depends on the value of the stocks and
other securities it owns. The value of the individual securities a fund owns
will go up and down, depending on the performance of the companies that issued
them, general market and economic conditions, and investor confidence. Market
risks, including political, regulatory, economic and social developments, can
affect the value of the fund’s investments. Natural disasters, public health
emergencies, war, terrorism and other unforeseeable events may lead to increased
market volatility and may have adverse long-term effects on world economies and
markets generally.
These
funds are intended for investors who seek a diversified investment whose asset
mix becomes more conservative over time, and who are willing to accept the risks
associated with the funds’ multi-asset strategies.
A
fund may need to sell securities at times it would not otherwise do so in order
to meet shareholder redemption requests. A fund could experience a loss when
selling securities, particularly if the redemption requests are unusually large
or frequent, occur in times of overall market turmoil or declining pricing for
the securities sold or when the securities the fund wishes to sell are illiquid.
Selling securities to meet such redemption requests also may increase
transaction costs or have tax consequences. To the extent that a large
shareholder (including a 529 college savings plan) invests in a fund, the fund
may experience relatively large redemptions as such shareholder reallocates its
assets. Although the advisor seeks to minimize the impact of such transactions
where possible, a fund’s performance may be adversely affected.
At
any given time your shares may be worth less than the price you paid for them.
In other words, it is possible to lose money by investing in the funds,
including losses near to, at, or after retirement. There is no guarantee that a
fund will provide adequate income at or through your retirement.
Who
manages the funds?
The
Board of Directors, investment advisor and fund management team play key roles
in the management of the funds.
The
Board of Directors
The
Board of Directors is responsible for overseeing the advisor’s management and
operations of the funds pursuant to the management agreement. In performing
their duties, Board members receive detailed information about the funds and
their advisor regularly throughout the year, and meet at least quarterly with
management of the advisor to review reports about fund operations. The
directors’ role is to provide oversight and not to provide day-to-day
management. More than three-fourths of the directors are independent of the
funds’ advisor. They are not employees, directors or officers of, and have no
financial interest in, the advisor or any of its affiliated companies (other
than as shareholders of American Century Investments funds), and they do not
have any other affiliations, positions or relationships that would cause them to
be considered “interested persons” under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The
directors also serve in that capacity for many of the underlying
funds.
The
Investment Advisor
The
funds’ investment advisor is American Century Investment Management, Inc. (the
advisor). The advisor has been managing mutual funds since 1958 and is
headquartered at 4500 Main Street, Kansas City, Missouri
64111.
The
advisor is responsible for managing the investment portfolios of the funds and
directing the purchase and sale of the underlying American Century Investments
funds in which they invest. The advisor also arranges for transfer agency,
custody and all other services necessary for the funds to operate. Additionally,
the advisor is responsible for the selection and management of the underlying
funds’ portfolio investments.
For
certain services it provides to each fund and the underlying funds, the advisor
receives a unified management fee based on a percentage of the daily net assets
of each class of shares of the fund. The amount of the fee is calculated daily
and paid monthly in arrears. Out of that fee, the advisor pays all expenses of
managing and operating that fund except brokerage expenses, taxes, interest,
fees and expenses of the independent directors (including legal counsel fees),
extraordinary expenses, and expenses incurred in connection with the provision
of shareholder services and distribution services under a plan adopted pursuant
to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The difference in
unified management fees among the classes is a result of their separate
arrangements for non-Rule 12b-1 shareholder services. It is not the result of
any difference in advisory or custodial fees or other expenses related to the
management of the fund’s assets, which do not vary by class. For all classes
other than the R6 Class, the advisor may pay unaffiliated third
parties who provide recordkeeping and administrative services that would
otherwise be performed by an affiliate of the advisor.

funds’ investment advisory agreement with the advisor is available on the funds’
website and filed on the funds’ Form N-CSR for the fiscal period ending January

Maintenance Fee
If
you hold Investor Class shares of any American Century Investments mutual fund,
or I Class shares of the American Century Diversified Bond Fund, in an American
Century Investments account (i.e., not through a financial intermediary or

will determine the amount of your total eligible investments once per year,
generally the last Friday in October. If the value of those investments is less
than $25,000 at that time, we will automatically redeem shares in one of your

your total eligible investment amount, we will include your investments in all

directly held American Century Investments mutual fund accounts, as well as

Although
each class of a fund’s shares represents an interest in the same fund, each has
a different cost structure, as described below. Which class is right for you
depends on many factors, including how long you plan to hold the shares, how
much you plan to invest, the fee structure of each class, and how you wish to
compensate your financial professional for the services provided to you. Your
financial professional can help you choose the option that is most
appropriate.

may be reduced or eliminated in certain situations. See Reductions

be available through financial intermediaries in certain types of accounts or

portions of the website. From the description of A Class shares, a hyperlink

The
availability of the sales charge reductions and waivers discussed below will
depend upon whether you purchase your shares directly from the fund or through a
financial intermediary. Intermediaries may have different policies and

for information provided by certain financial intermediaries regarding their
sales charge waiver or discount policies that are applicable to investors
transacting in fund shares through such financial intermediary.
A
Class
A

There
is no front-end sales charge for purchases of $1,000,000 or more, but if you
redeem your shares within one year of purchase you will pay a deferred sales
charge of 1.00% of the lower of the original purchase price or the current
market value at redemption, subject to the exceptions listed below. No sales
charge applies to reinvested dividends. No dealer commission will be paid to
your financial professional for purchases by certain employer-sponsored
retirement plans. For this purpose, employer-sponsored retirement plans do not
include SEP IRAs, SIMPLE IRAs or SARSEPs.
Reductions
and Waivers of Sales Charges for A Class
You
may qualify for a reduction or waiver of certain sales charges, but you or your
financial professional must provide certain information, including the account
numbers of any accounts to be aggregated, to American Century Investments at the
time of purchase in order to take advantage of such reduction or waiver. If you
hold assets among multiple intermediaries, it is your responsibility to inform
your intermediary and/or American Century Investments at the time of purchase,
of any accounts to be aggregated.
You
and your immediate family (which includes your spouse or domestic partner and
children, step-children, parents or step-parents of you, your spouse or domestic
partner) may combine investments in any share class of any American Century
Investments mutual fund (excluding certain assets in money market accounts, but
including account assets invested in Qualified Tuition Programs under Section
529) to reduce your A Class sales charge in the following ways:
Account
Aggregation.
Investments made by you and your immediate family may be aggregated at each
account’s current market value if made for your own account(s) and/or certain
other accounts, such as:
•Certain
trust accounts
•Solely
controlled business accounts
•Single-participant
retirement plans
•Endowments
or foundations established and controlled by you or an immediate family
member
For
purposes of aggregation, only investments made through individual-level accounts
may be combined. Assets held in multiple participant employer-sponsored
retirement plans may be aggregated at a plan level.
Concurrent
Purchases.
You may combine simultaneous purchases in any share class of any American
Century Investments mutual fund to qualify for a reduced A Class sales
charge.
Rights
of Accumulation.
You may take into account the current value of your existing holdings, less any
commissionable shares in the money market funds, in any share class of any
American Century Investments mutual fund to qualify for a reduced A Class sales
charge. An investor who purchases fund shares through a financial intermediary
may be subject to different rights of accumulation policies of such financial
intermediary. Please consult with your financial professional for further
details.
Letter
of Intent.
A Letter of Intent allows you to combine all purchases of any share class of any
American Century Investments mutual fund you intend to make over a 13-month
period to determine the applicable sales charge, except for purchases in the A
Class of money market funds. At your request, existing holdings may be combined
with new purchases and sales charge amounts may be adjusted for purchases made
within 90 days prior to our receipt of the Letter of Intent. Capital
appreciation, capital gains and reinvested dividends earned during the Letter of
Intent period do not apply toward its completion. A portion of your account will
be held in escrow to cover additional A Class sales charges that will be due if
your total investments over the 13-month period do not qualify for the
applicable sales charge reduction.
Waivers
for Certain Investors.
The sales charge on A Class shares may be waived for:
•Purchases
by registered representatives and other employees of certain financial
intermediaries (and their immediate family members, which includes their spouse
or domestic partner and children or step-children, parents or step-parents of
them, their spouse or domestic partner) having selling agreements with the
advisor or distributor
•Broker-dealer
sponsored wrap program accounts and/or fee-based accounts maintained for clients
of certain financial intermediaries who have entered into selling agreements
with American Century Investments
•Purchases
in accounts of financial intermediaries that have entered into a selling
agreement with American Century Investments that allows for the waiver of the
sales charge in brokerage accounts that may or may not charge a transaction
fee
•Current
officers, directors or employees of American Century Investments
•Certain
group employer-sponsored retirement plans, where plan level or omnibus accounts
are held with the fund, or shares are purchased by certain retirement plans that
are part of a retirement plan or platform offered by banks, broker-dealers,
financial advisors or insurance companies, or serviced by retirement
recordkeepers. For purposes of this waiver, employer-sponsored retirement plans
do not include SEP IRAs, SIMPLE IRAs or SARSEPs. However, SEP IRA, SIMPLE IRA or
SARSEP retirement plans that (i) held shares of an A Class fund prior to March
1, 2009 that received sales charge waivers or (ii) held shares of an Advisor
Class fund that was renamed A Class on March 1, 2010, may permit additional
purchases by new and existing participants in A Class shares without an initial
sales charge. Refer to Buying
and Selling Fund Shares
in the statement of additional information
•Purchases
of additional shares in accounts that held shares of an Advisor Class fund that
was renamed A Class on either September 4, 2007, December 3, 2007 or March 1,
2010. However, if you close your account or if you transfer your account to
another financial intermediary, future purchases of A Class shares of a fund may
not receive a sales charge waiver.
An
investor who receives a sales charge waiver for purchases of fund shares through
a financial intermediary may become ineligible to receive such waiver if the
nature of the investor’s relationship with and/or the services it receives from
the financial intermediary changes. Please consult with your financial
professional for further details.
Calculation
of Contingent Deferred Sales Charge (CDSC)
To
minimize the amount of the CDSC you may pay when you redeem shares, the fund
will first redeem shares acquired through reinvested dividends and capital gain
distributions, which are not subject to a CDSC. Shares that have been in your
account long enough that they are not subject to a CDSC are redeemed next. For
any remaining redemption amount, shares will be sold in the order they were
purchased (earliest to latest).
CDSC
Waivers
Any
applicable CDSC for A Classes may be waived in the following cases:
•redemptions
through systematic withdrawal plans not exceeding annually 12% of the
lesser of the original purchase cost or current market value for A Class
shares
•redemptions
through employer-sponsored retirement plans. For this purpose,
employer-sponsored retirement plans do not include SEP IRAs, SIMPLE IRAs or
SARSEPs.
•distributions
from IRAs due to attainment of age 59½ for A Class shares
•required
minimum distributions from retirement accounts due to the shareholder reaching
the qualified age based on applicable IRS regulations
•tax-free
returns of excess contributions to IRAs
•redemptions
due to death or post-purchase disability
•exchanges,
unless the shares acquired by exchange are redeemed within the original CDSC
period
•IRA
Rollovers from any American Century Investments mutual fund held in an
employer-sponsored retirement plan, for A Class shares only
•if
no dealer commission was paid to the financial intermediary on the purchase for
any other reason
Reinstatement
Privilege
Within
90 days of a redemption, dividend payment or capital gains distribution of any A
Class shares, you may reinvest all or a portion of the proceeds in A Class
shares of any American Century Investments mutual fund at the then-current net
asset value without paying an initial sales charge. At your request, any CDSC
you paid on an A Class redemption that you are reinvesting will be credited to
your account. You may use the privilege only once per account. This privilege
may only be invoked by the original account owner to reinvest shares in an
account with the same registration as the account from which the redemption or
distribution originated. This privilege does not apply to systematic or
automatic transactions, including, for example, automatic purchases, withdrawals
and payroll
deductions.
If you wish to use this reinvestment privilege, you or your financial
professional must provide written notice to American Century
Investments.
Employer-Sponsored
Retirement Plans
Certain
group employer-sponsored retirement plans that hold a single account for all
plan participants with the fund, or that are part of a retirement plan or
platform offered by banks, broker-dealers, financial advisors or insurance
companies, or serviced by retirement recordkeepers are eligible to purchase
Investor, I, A, R and R6 Class shares. For more information regarding
employer-sponsored retirement plan types, please refer to Buying
and Selling Fund Shares
in the statement of additional information. A Class purchases are available at
net asset value with no dealer commission paid to the financial professional,
and do not incur a CDSC. A and R Class shares purchased in employer-sponsored
retirement plans are subject to applicable distribution and service (12b-1)
fees, which the financial intermediary begins receiving immediately at the time
of purchase. American Century does not impose plan size or participant number
requirements by class for employer-sponsored retirement plans; however,
financial intermediaries or plan recordkeepers may require plans to meet
different requirements.
Exchanging
Shares
You
may exchange shares of the fund for shares of the same class of another American
Century Investments mutual fund without a sales charge if you meet the following
criteria:
•The
exchange is for a minimum of $100
•For
an exchange that opens a new account, the amount of the exchange must meet or
exceed the minimum account size requirement for the fund receiving the
exchange
For
purposes of computing any applicable CDSC on shares that have been exchanged,
the holding period will begin as of the date of purchase of the original fund
owned. Exchanges from a money market fund are subject to a sales charge on the
fund being purchased, unless the money market fund shares were acquired by
exchange from a fund with a sales charge or by reinvestment of dividends or
capital gains distributions.
Moving
Between Share Classes and Accounts
You
may move your investment between share classes (within the same fund or between
different funds) in certain circumstances deemed appropriate by American Century
Investments. You also may move investments held in certain accounts to a
different type of account if you meet certain criteria. Please contact your
financial professional for more information about moving between share classes
or account types.
Buying
and Selling Shares Through a Financial Intermediary
Your
ability to purchase, exchange, redeem and transfer shares will be affected by
the policies of the financial intermediary through which you do business. Some
policy differences may include
•minimum
investment requirements
•exchange
policies
•fund
choices
•cutoff
time for investments
•trading
restrictions
In
addition, your financial intermediary may charge a transaction fee for the
purchase or sale of fund shares. Those charges are retained by the financial
intermediary and are not shared with American Century Investments or the funds.
Please contact your financial intermediary or plan sponsor for a complete
description of its policies. Copies of the funds’ annual report, semiannual
report and statement of additional information are available from your financial
intermediary or plan sponsor.
The
funds have authorized certain financial intermediaries to accept orders on the
funds’ behalf. American Century Investments has selling agreements with these
financial intermediaries requiring them to track the time investment orders are
received and to comply with procedures relating to the transmission of orders.
Orders must be received by the financial intermediary on the funds’ behalf
before the time the net asset value is determined in order to receive that day’s
share price. If those orders are transmitted to American Century Investments and
paid for in accordance with the selling agreement, they will be priced at the
net asset value next determined after your request is received in the form
required by the financial intermediary.
If
you submit a transaction request through a financial intermediary that does not
have a selling agreement with us, or if the financial intermediary’s selling
agreement does not cover the type of account or share class requested, we may
reject or cancel the transaction without prior notice to you or the
intermediary.
Investor
and I Class shares may also be available on brokerage platforms of financial
intermediaries that have agreements with American Century Investments to offer
such shares solely when acting as an agent for the shareholder. A
shareholder transacting in
Investor
or I Class shares in these programs may be required to pay a commission and/or
other forms of compensation to the broker. Shares of the fund are
available in other share classes that have different fees and expenses.
See
Additional
Policies Affecting Your Investment
for more information about investing with us.
Eligibility
for Investor Class Shares
The
fund’s Investor Class shares are available for purchase directly from American
Century Investments and through the following types of products, programs or
accounts offered by financial intermediaries:
•self-directed
accounts on transaction-based platforms that may or may not charge a transaction
fee
•employer-sponsored
retirement plans
•broker-dealer
sponsored fee-based wrap programs or other fee-based advisory
accounts
•insurance
products and bank/trust products where fees are being charged
The
fund reserves the right, when in the judgment of American Century Investments it
is not adverse to the fund’s interest, to permit all or only certain types of
investors to open new accounts in the fund, to impose further restrictions, or
to close the fund to any additional investments, all without
notice.
Minimum
Initial Investment Amounts for Investor, A and R Classes
Unless
otherwise specified below, the minimum initial investment amount to open an
account is $2,500. However, American Century Investments will waive the fund
minimum if you make an initial investment of at least $500 and continue to make
automatic investments of at least $100 a month until reaching the fund
minimum.
Investors
opening accounts through financial intermediaries may open an account with $250,
but the financial intermediaries may require their clients to meet different
investment minimums. See Investing
Through a Financial Intermediary

American Century Investments will waive the minimum if
you make an initial investment of at least $500 and continue to make automatic
investments of at least $100 a month until reaching the minimum.

The minimum initial investment for shareholders
investing through financial intermediaries is $250. Financial intermediaries may
have different minimums for their clients.
Subsequent
Purchases
There
is a $50 minimum for subsequent purchases. See Ways
to Manage Your Account
for more information about making additional investments directly with American
Century Investments. However, there is no subsequent purchase minimum for
financial intermediaries or employer-sponsored retirement plans, but financial
intermediaries may require their clients to meet different subsequent purchase
requirements.
Eligibility
for I Class Shares
I
Class shares are made available for purchase by individuals and large
institutional shareholders such as bank trust departments, corporations,
retirement plans, endowments, foundations and financial advisors that meet the
funds’ minimum investment requirements.
Minimum
Initial Investment Amounts for I Class
The
minimum initial investment amount for I Class shares is generally $5 million ($3
million for endowments and foundations) per fund. If you invest with us through
a financial intermediary, this requirement may be met if your financial
intermediary aggregates your investments with those of other clients into a
single group, or omnibus, account that meets the minimum. The minimum investment
requirement may be waived if you have an aggregate investment in the American
Century family of funds of $10 million or more ($5 million for endowments and
foundations). This includes accounts held directly with American Century and
those held through a financial intermediary. American Century Investments also
may waive the minimum initial investment in other situations it deems
appropriate. In addition, there is no minimum investment amount for
employer-sponsored retirement plans where a financial intermediary provides
retirement recordkeeping services to plan participants and where plan level or
omnibus accounts are held on the books of the fund. Financial intermediaries or
plan recordkeepers may require plans to meet certain other conditions, such as
plan size or minimum level of assets per participants, in order to be eligible
to purchase I Class shares.
American
Century Investments may permit an intermediary to waive the initial minimum per
shareholder as provided in Buying
and Selling Fund Shares
in the statement of additional information.
Eligibility
for R6 Class Shares
The
fund’s R6 Class shares are generally available only through employer-sponsored
retirement plans where a financial intermediary provides retirement
recordkeeping services to plan participants. To be eligible, plan level or
omnibus accounts must be held on the books of the fund.
R6
Class shares are not available to retail accounts, traditional or Roth IRAs, SEP
IRAs, SIMPLE IRAs, SARSEPs or Coverdell education savings accounts.
Minimum
Initial Investment Amounts for R6 Class
There
is no minimum initial amount or subsequent investment amount for R6 Class
shares, but financial intermediaries or plan recordkeepers may require plans to
meet different investment minimums.
Redemptions
Your
redemption proceeds will be calculated using the net asset value (NAV) next
determined after we receive your transaction request in good order. If you sell
A Class shares, you may pay a sales charge, depending on how long you have held
your shares, as described above.
Generally,
we expect to remit your redemption proceeds to you one business day after we
process your transaction. However, we reserve the right to delay delivery of
redemption proceeds for up to seven days. For example, each time you make an
investment with American Century Investments, there is a seven-day holding
period before we will release redemption proceeds from those shares, unless you
provide us with satisfactory proof that your purchase funds have cleared.
Investments by wire generally require only a one-day holding period. If you
change your address, we may require that any redemption request made within
seven days be submitted in writing and be signed by all authorized signers with
their signatures guaranteed. We may also require a signature guarantee for
redemptions in other situations, as described below. If you change your bank
information, we may impose a seven-day holding period before we will transfer or
wire redemption proceeds to your bank. Please remember, if you request
redemptions by wire, $10 will be deducted from the amount redeemed. Your bank
also may charge a fee.
Under
normal market conditions, the fund generally meets redemption requests through
its holdings of cash or cash equivalents or by selling portfolio securities.
However, we reserve the right to honor certain redemptions with securities,
rather than cash, as described in the next section. Additionally, the fund
may consider interfund lending to meet redemption requests. The fund is more
likely to use these other methods to meet large redemption requests or during
times of market stress.
Additionally,
if you are age 65 or older, or if we have reason to believe you have a mental or
physical impairment that renders you unable to protect your own interest, we may
temporarily delay the disbursement of redemption proceeds from your account if
we believe that you have been the victim of actual or attempted financial
exploitation. This temporary delay will be for an initial period of no more than
15 business days while we conduct an internal review of the facts and
circumstances of the suspected financial exploitation. If our internal review
supports our belief that actual or attempted financial exploitation has occurred
or is occurring, we may extend the hold for up to 10 additional business days.
At the expiration of the additional hold time, if we have not confirmed that
exploitation has occurred, the proceeds will be released to you.
Redemption
of Shares in Accounts Below Minimum
If
your account balance falls below the minimum initial investment amount for any
reason, or if you cancel your automatic monthly investment plan prior to
reaching the fund minimum, American Century Investments reserves the right to
redeem the shares in the account and send the proceeds to your address of
record. Prior to doing so, we will notify you and give you 60 days to meet the
minimum or reinstate your automatic monthly investment plan. Please note that A
Class shares redeemed in this manner may be subject to a sales charge if held
less than the applicable time period. You also may incur tax liability as a
result of the redemption. For I Class shares, we reserve the right to convert
your shares to Investor Class shares of the same fund. The total annual
operating expenses of Investor Class shares are higher than I Class
shares.
Small
Distributions and Uncashed Distribution Checks
Generally,
dividends and distributions cannot be paid by check for an amount less than $50.
Any such amount will be automatically reinvested in additional shares. The fund
reserves the right to reinvest any dividend or distribution amount you elect to
receive by check if your check is returned as undeliverable or if you do not
cash your check within six months. Interest will not accrue on the amount of
your uncashed check. We will reinvest your check into your account at the NAV on
the day of reinvestment. When reinvested, those amounts are subject to the risk
of loss like any other fund investment. We also reserve the right to change your
election to receive dividends and distributions in cash after a check is
returned undeliverable or uncashed for the six month period, and we may
automatically reinvest all future dividends and distributions at the NAV on the
date of the payment.
Signature
Guarantees
A
signature guarantee — which is different from a notarized signature — is a
warranty that the signature presented is genuine. We may require a signature
guarantee for the following transactions:
•Your
redemption or distribution check or automatic redemption is made payable to
someone other than the account owners;
•Your
redemption proceeds or distribution amount is sent by EFT (ACH or wire) to a
destination other than your personal bank account;
•You
are transferring ownership of an account over $100,000;
•You
change your address and request a redemption over $100,000 within seven
days;
•You
request proceeds from redemptions, dividends, or distributions be sent to an
address or financial institution differing from those on record; or
•You
make a redemption or other transaction request via telephone, and we are unable
to verify your identity.
We
reserve the right to require a signature guarantee for other transactions, or we
may employ other security measures, such as signature comparison or notarized
signature, at our discretion.
Canceling
a Transaction
American
Century Investments will use its best efforts to honor your request to revoke a
transaction instruction if your revocation request is received prior to the
close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) (generally 4 p.m. Eastern
time) on the trade date of the transaction. Once processing has begun, or the
NYSE has closed on the trade date, the transaction can no longer be canceled.
Each fund reserves the right to suspend the offering of shares for a period of
time and to reject any specific investment (including a purchase by exchange).
Additionally, we may refuse a purchase if, in our judgment, it is of a size that
would disrupt the management of a fund.
Frequent
Trading Practices
Frequent
trading and other abusive trading practices may disrupt portfolio management
strategies and harm fund performance. Additionally, because the funds invest in
other American Century Investments mutual funds, frequent trading and other
abusive trading activity in the funds may disrupt the underlying funds’
portfolio management strategies and harm their performance. If the cumulative
amount of frequent trading activity is significant relative to an underlying
fund’s net assets, the underlying fund may incur trading costs that are higher
than necessary as securities are first purchased then quickly sold to meet the
redemption request. In such case, each fund, as a shareholder of the underlying
funds, would indirectly bear its pro rata share of the additional expenses
incurred by the underlying funds. Accordingly, the funds’ performance could be
negatively impacted by the increased trading costs created by frequent trading
if the additional trading costs are significant.
Because
of the potentially harmful effects of abusive trading practices, the funds’
Board of Directors has approved American Century Investments’ abusive trading
policies and procedures, which are designed to reduce the frequency and effect
of these activities in our funds. These policies and procedures include
monitoring trading activity, imposing trading restrictions on certain accounts,
and using fair value pricing when current market prices are not readily
available for securities held by the underlying funds. Although these efforts
are designed to discourage abusive trading practices, they cannot eliminate the
possibility that such activity will occur. American Century Investments seeks to
exercise its judgment in implementing these tools to the best of its ability in
a manner that it believes is consistent with shareholder
interests.
American
Century Investments uses a variety of techniques to monitor for and detect
frequent trading practices. These techniques may vary depending on the type of
fund, the class of shares or whether the shares are held directly or indirectly
with American Century Investments. They may change from time to time as
determined by American Century Investments in its sole discretion. To minimize
harm to the funds and their shareholders, we reserve the right to reject any
purchase order (including exchanges) from any shareholder we believe has a
history of frequent trading or whose trading, in our judgment, has been or may
be disruptive to the funds. In making this judgment, we may consider trading
done in multiple accounts under common ownership or control.
Currently,
for shares held directly with American Century Investments, we may deem the sale
of all or a substantial portion of a shareholder’s purchase of fund shares to be
frequent trading if the sale is made
•within
seven days of the purchase, or
•within
30 days of the purchase, if it happens more than once per year.
To
the extent practicable, we try to use the same approach for defining frequent
trading for shares held through financial intermediaries. American Century
Investments reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to identify other
trading practices as abusive and to modify its monitoring and other practices as
necessary to deal with novel or unique abusive trading practices.
The
frequent trading limitations do not apply to the following types of
transactions:
•purchases
of shares through reinvested distributions (dividends and capital
gains);
•redemption
of shares to pay fund or account fees;
•CheckWriting
redemptions;
•redemptions
requested following the death of a registered shareholder;
•transactions
through automatic purchase or redemption plans;
•transfers
and re-registrations of shares within the same fund;
•shares
exchanged from one share class to another within the same fund;
•transactions
by 529 college savings plans; and
•reallocation
or rebalancing transactions in broker-dealer sponsored fee-based wrap and
advisory programs.
For
shares held in employer-sponsored retirement plans, generally only
participant-directed exchange transactions are subject to the frequent trading
restrictions. For this purpose, employer-sponsored retirement plans do not
include SEP IRAs, SIMPLE IRAs, or SARSEPs.
In
addition, American Century Investments reserves the right to accept purchases
and exchanges in excess of the trading restrictions discussed above if it
believes that such transactions would not be inconsistent with the best
interests of fund shareholders or this policy.
American
Century Investments’ policies do not permit us to enter into arrangements with
fund shareholders that permit such shareholders to engage in frequent purchases
and redemptions of fund shares. Due to the complexity and subjectivity involved
in identifying abusive trading activity and the volume of shareholder
transactions American Century Investments handles, there can be no assurance
that American Century Investments’ efforts will identify all trades or trading
practices that may be considered abusive. American Century Investments monitors
aggregate trades placed in omnibus accounts and works with financial
intermediaries to identify shareholders engaging in abusive trading practices
and impose restrictions to discourage such practices. Because American Century
Investments relies on financial intermediaries to provide information and impose
restrictions, our ability to monitor and discourage abusive trading practices in
omnibus accounts may be dependent upon the intermediaries’ timely performance of
such duties and restrictions may not be applied uniformly in all
cases.
Your
Responsibility for Unauthorized Transactions
American
Century Investments and its affiliated companies use procedures reasonably
designed to confirm that telephone, electronic and other instructions are
genuine. These procedures include recording telephone calls, requesting
additional identifying information, requiring personalized security codes or
other information online, and sending confirmation of transactions. If we follow
these procedures, we are not responsible for any losses that may occur due to
unauthorized instructions. For transactions conducted over the Internet, we
recommend the use of a secure Internet browser. In addition, you should verify
the accuracy of your confirmation statements immediately after you receive
them.
A
Note About Mailings to Shareholders
To
reduce the amount of mail you receive from us, we generally deliver a single
copy of fund documents (like shareholder reports, proxies and prospectuses) to
investors who share an address, even if their accounts are registered under
different names. Investors who share an address may also receive
account-specific documents (like statements) in a single envelope. If you prefer
to receive your documents addressed individually, please call us or your
financial professional. For American Century Investments brokerage accounts,
please call 1-888-345-2071.
Right
to Change Policies
We
reserve the right to change any stated investment requirement, including those
that relate to purchases, exchanges and redemptions. In accordance with
applicable law, we also may alter, add or discontinue any service or privilege.
Changes may affect all investors or only those in certain classes or groups. In
addition, from time to time we may waive a policy on a case-by-case basis, as
the advisor deems appropriate.
Share
Price
American
Century Investments will price the fund shares you purchase, exchange or redeem
based on the net
asset value
(NAV) next determined after your order is received in good order by the fund’s
transfer agent, or other financial intermediary with the authority to accept
orders on the fund’s behalf. We determine the NAV of each fund as of the close
of regular trading (usually 4 p.m. Eastern time) on the New York Stock Exchange
(NYSE) on each day the NYSE is open. On days when the NYSE is closed (including
certain U.S. national holidays), we do not calculate the NAV.
|
|
| |
|
The
net
asset value,
or NAV, of each class of a fund is the current value of the class’s
assets, minus any liabilities, divided by the number of shares of the
class outstanding.
|
The
value of the securities and other assets and liabilities held by the fund are
determined by the advisor, as the valuation designee, pursuant to its valuation
policies and procedures. The fund’s Board of Directors oversees the valuation
designee and at least annually reviews its valuation policies and procedures.
Valuations are determined in accordance with applicable federal securities laws
and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
With
respect to the portion of each fund’s assets that are invested in underlying
mutual funds, the fund’s NAV is calculated based upon the NAVs of such
underlying mutual funds. The prospectuses for the underlying mutual funds
explain the methods used to value underlying fund shares, including the
circumstances under which those funds may use fair value pricing and the effects
of doing so.
Portfolio
securities for which market quotations are readily available are valued at their
market price. If the fund invests in ETFs, such ETFs are valued at the last
reported official closing price or sale price at the time the NAV is determined.
If
the valuation designee determines that the market price for a portfolio security
is not readily available or is believed by the valuation designee to be
unreliable, such security is valued at fair value as determined in good faith by
the valuation designee, in accordance with its policies and procedures. A
circumstance that may cause the fund to determine that market quotations are not
available or reliable includes, but is not limited to, trading in a security has
been halted during the trading day.
If
such circumstances occur, the valuation designee will fair value the security if
the fair valuation would materially impact the fund’s NAV. While fair value
determinations involve judgments that are inherently subjective, these
determinations are made in good faith in accordance with the valuation
designee’s policies and procedures.
The
effect of using fair value determinations is that the fund’s NAV will be based,
to some degree, on security valuations that the valuation designee reasonably
believes are fair rather than being solely determined by the
market.
Trading
in foreign markets of securities that are held by the underlying funds may not
take place every day the NYSE is open. Also, trading in some foreign markets and
on some electronic trading networks may take place on weekends or holidays when
the underlying funds’ NAVs are not calculated. So, the value of the underlying
funds’ portfolios and consequently the funds’ portfolios may be affected on days
when you will not be able to purchase, exchange or redeem fund
shares.
Distributions
Federal
tax laws require each fund to make distributions to its shareholders in order to
qualify as a regulated investment company. Qualification as a regulated
investment company means that the funds should not be subject to state or
federal income tax on amounts distributed. The distributions generally consist
of dividends and interest received by the fund, as well as capital
gains
realized by the fund on the sale of its investment securities.
|
|
| |
|
Capital
gains
are
increases in the values of capital assets, such as stocks or bonds, from
the time the assets are purchased. |
The
funds generally expect to pay distributions from net income and capital gains,
if any, once a year in December. The funds may make more frequent distributions,
if necessary, to comply with Internal Revenue Code
provisions.
You
will participate in fund distributions when they are declared, starting the next
business day after your purchase is effective. For example, if you purchase
shares on a day that a distribution is declared, you will not receive that
distribution. If you redeem shares, you will receive any distribution declared
on the day you redeem. If you redeem all shares, we will include any
distributions received with your redemption proceeds.
Generally,
participants in tax-deferred retirement plans reinvest all distributions. For
investors investing through taxable accounts, we will reinvest distributions
unless you elect to have dividends and/or capital gains sent to another American
Century Investments account, to your bank electronically, or to your home
address or to another person or address by check.
Some
of the tax consequences of owning shares of the funds will vary depending on
whether you own them through a taxable or tax-deferred account. Distributions by
the funds of dividend and interest income, capital gains and other income they
have generated through their investment activities, will generally be taxable to
shareholders who hold shares in a taxable account. Tax consequences also may
result when investors sell fund shares after the net asset value has increased
or decreased.
Tax-Deferred
Accounts
If
you purchase fund shares through a tax-deferred account, such as an IRA or
employer-sponsored retirement plan, income and capital gains distributions
usually will not be subject to current taxation but will accumulate in your
account under the plan on a tax-deferred basis. Likewise, moving from one fund
to another fund within a plan or tax-deferred account generally will not cause
you to be taxed. For information about the tax consequences of making purchases
or withdrawals through a tax-deferred account, please consult your plan
administrator, your summary plan description or a tax
advisor.
Taxable
Accounts
If
you own fund shares through a taxable account, you may be taxed on your
investments if the fund makes distributions or if you sell your fund
shares.
Taxability
of Distributions
Fund
distributions may consist of income, such as dividends and interest earned by a
fund from its investments, or capital gains generated by a fund from the sale of
investment securities. Distributions of income are taxed as ordinary income,
unless they are designated as qualified
dividend income
and you meet a minimum required holding period with respect to your shares of
the fund, in which case distributions of income are taxed at the same rates as
long-term capital gains.
|
|
| |
|
Qualified
dividend income
is
a dividend received by the fund from the stock of a domestic or qualifying
foreign corporation, provided that the fund has held the stock for a
required holding period and the stock was not on loan at the time of the
dividend. |
The
tax character of any distributions from capital gains is determined by how long
the fund held the underlying security that was sold, not by how long you have
been invested in the fund or whether you reinvest your distributions or take
them in cash. Short-term (one year or less) capital gains are taxable as
ordinary income. Gains on securities held for more than one year are taxed at
the lower rates applicable to long-term capital gains.
If
the fund’s distributions exceed current and accumulated earnings and profits,
such excess will generally be considered a return of capital. A return of
capital distribution is generally not subject to tax, but will reduce your cost
basis in the fund and result in higher realized capital gains (or lower realized
capital losses) upon the sale of fund shares.
For
taxable accounts, American Century Investments or your financial intermediary
will inform you of the tax character of fund distributions for each calendar
year in an annual tax mailing.
If
you meet specified income levels, you will also be subject to a 3.8% Medicare
contribution tax which is imposed on net investment income, including interest,
dividends and capital gains. Distributions also may be subject to state and
local taxes. Because everyone’s tax situation is unique, you may want to consult
your tax professional about federal, state and local tax
consequences.
Taxes
on Transactions
Your
redemptions—including exchanges to other American Century Investments mutual
funds—are subject to capital gains tax. Short-term capital gains are gains on
fund shares you held for 12 months or less. Long-term capital gains are gains on
fund shares you held for more than 12 months. If your shares decrease in value,
their sale or exchange will result in a long-term or short-term capital loss.
However, you should note that loss realized upon the sale or exchange of shares
held for six months or less will be treated as a long-term capital loss to the
extent of any distribution of long-term capital gain to you with respect to
those shares. If a loss is realized on the redemption of fund shares, the
reinvestment in additional fund shares within 30 days before or after the
redemption may be subject to the wash sale rules of the Internal Revenue Code.
This may result in a postponement of the recognition of such loss for federal
income tax purposes.
If
you have not certified to us that your Social Security number or tax
identification number is correct and that you are not subject to withholding, we
are required to withhold and pay to the IRS the applicable federal withholding
tax rate on taxable dividends, capital gains distributions and redemption
proceeds.
Buying
a Dividend
Purchasing
fund shares in a taxable account shortly before a distribution is sometimes
known as buying a dividend. In taxable accounts, you must pay income taxes on
the distribution whether you reinvest the distribution or take it in cash. In
addition, you will have to pay taxes on the distribution whether the value of
your investment decreased, increased or remained the same after you bought the
fund shares.
The
risk in buying a dividend is that a fund’s portfolio may build up taxable income
and gains throughout the period covered by a distribution, as income is earned
and securities are sold at a profit. The fund distributes the income and gains
to you, after subtracting any losses, even if you did not own the shares when
the income was earned or the gains occurred.
If
you buy a dividend, you incur the full tax liability of the distribution period,
but you may not enjoy the full benefit of the income earned or the gains
realized in the fund’s portfolio.
The
funds offer multiple classes of shares. The classes have different fees,
expenses and/or minimum investment requirements. Different fees and expenses
will affect performance.
Except
as described below, all classes of shares of each fund have identical voting,
dividend, liquidation and other rights, preferences, terms and conditions. The
only differences among the classes are (a) each class may be subject to
different expenses specific to that class; (b) each class has a different
identifying designation or name; (c) each class has exclusive voting rights with
respect to matters solely affecting such class; (d) each class may have
different exchange privileges; and (e) the I Class may provide for conversion
from that class into shares of the Investor Class of the same fund.
Service,
Distribution and Administrative Fees
Investment
Company Act Rule 12b-1 permits mutual funds that adopt a written plan to pay
certain expenses associated with the distribution of their shares out of fund
assets. Each class, except the Investor Class, I Class and R6 Class, offered by
this prospectus has a 12b-1 plan. The plans provide for the funds to pay annual
fees of 0.25% for A Class and 0.50% for R Class to the distributor, for
distribution and individual shareholder services, including past distribution
services. The distributor pays all or a portion of such fees to the financial
intermediaries that make the classes available. Because these fees may be used
to pay for services that are not related to prospective sales of the funds, each
class will continue to make payments under its plan even if it is closed to new
investors. Because these fees are paid out of the funds’ assets on an ongoing
basis, over time these fees will increase the cost of your investment and may
cost you more than paying other types of sales charges. For additional
information about the plans and their terms, see Multiple
Class Structure
in the statement of additional information.
Certain
financial intermediaries perform recordkeeping and administrative services for
their clients that would otherwise be performed by American Century Investments’
transfer agent. In some circumstances, the advisor will pay such service
providers a fee for performing those services. Also, the advisor and the funds’
distributor may make payments to intermediaries for various additional services,
other expenses and/or the intermediaries’ distribution of the fund out of their
profits or other available sources. Such payments may be made for one or more of
the following: (1) distribution, which may include expenses incurred by
intermediaries for their sales activities with respect to the funds, such as
preparing, printing and distributing sales literature and advertising materials
and compensating registered representatives or other employees of such financial
intermediaries for their sales activities, as well as the opportunity for the
fund to be made available by such intermediaries; (2) shareholder services, such
as providing individual and custom investment advisory services to clients of
the financial intermediaries; and (3) marketing and promotional services,
including business planning assistance, educating personnel about the funds, and
sponsorship of sales meetings, which may include covering costs of providing
speakers, meals and other entertainment. The distributor may pay partnership
and/or sponsorship fees to support seminars, conferences, and other programs
designed to educate intermediaries about the funds and may cover the expenses
associated with attendance at such meetings, including travel costs. The
distributor also may pay fees related to obtaining data regarding intermediary
or financial advisor activities to assist American Century Investments with
sales reporting, business intelligence, and training and education
opportunities. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing
the intermediary to recommend the funds over another investment. Ask your
salesperson or visit your financial intermediary’s website for more information.
The amount of any payments described by this paragraph is determined by the
advisor or the distributor, and all such amounts are paid out of their available
assets, and not paid by you or the funds. As a result, the total expense ratio
of the funds will not be affected by any such payments.
American
Century Investments does not pay any fees to financial intermediaries on R6
Class shares.

Investments assets held by accounts within the purchaser’s household at Baird.
Eligible American Century Investments assets not held at Baird may be included
in the rights of accumulations calculation only if the shareholder notifies his
or her financial advisor about such assets.

Policies
Regarding Transactions Through Edward D. Jones & Co., L.P. (“Edward
Jones”)
The
following information has been provided by Edward Jones:
Effective
on or after September 3, 2024, the following information supersedes prior
information with respect to transactions and positions held in fund shares
through an Edward Jones system. Clients of Edward Jones (also referred to as
"shareholders") purchasing fund shares on the Edward Jones commission and
fee-based platforms are eligible only for the following sales charge discounts
(also referred to as "breakpoints") and waivers, which can differ from discounts
and waivers described elsewhere in the mutual fund prospectus or statement of
additional information ("SAI") or through another broker-dealer. In all
instances, it is the shareholder's responsibility to inform Edward Jones at the
time of purchase of any relationship, holdings of American Century, or other
facts qualifying the purchaser for discounts or waivers. Edward Jones can ask
for documentation of such circumstance. Shareholders should contact Edward Jones
if they have questions regarding their eligibility for these discounts and
waivers.
Breakpoints
•Breakpoint
pricing, otherwise known as volume pricing, at dollar thresholds as described in
the prospectus.
Rights
of Accumulation ("ROA")
•The
applicable sales charge on a purchase of Class A shares is determined by taking
into account all share classes (except certain money market funds and any assets
held in group retirement plans) of American Century held by the shareholder or
in an account grouped by Edward Jones with other accounts for the purpose of
providing certain pricing considerations ("pricing groups"). If grouping assets
as a shareholder, this includes all share classes held on the Edward Jones
platform and/or held on another platform. The inclusion of eligible fund family
assets in the ROA calculation is dependent on the shareholder notifying Edward
Jones of such assets at the time of calculation. Money market funds are included
only if such shares were sold with a sales charge at the time of purchase or
acquired in exchange for shares purchased with a sales charge.
•The
employer maintaining a SEP IRA plan and/or SIMPLE IRA plan may elect to
establish or change ROA for the IRA accounts associated with the plan to a
plan-level grouping as opposed to including all share classes at a shareholder
or pricing group level.
•ROA
is determined by calculating the higher of cost minus redemptions or market
value (current shares x NAV).
Letter
of Intent ("LOI")
•Through
a LOI, shareholders can receive the sales charge and breakpoint discounts for
purchases shareholders intend to make over a 13-month period from the date
Edward Jones receives the LOI. The LOI is determined by calculating the higher
of cost or market value of qualifying holdings at LOI initiation in combination
with the value that the shareholder intends to buy over a 13-month period to
calculate the front-end sales charge and any breakpoint discounts. Each purchase
the shareholder makes during that 13-month period will receive the sales charge
and breakpoint discount that applies to the total amount. The inclusion of
eligible fund family assets in the LOI calculation is dependent on the
shareholder notifying Edward Jones of such assets at the time of calculation.
Purchases made before the LOI is received by Edward Jones are not adjusted under
the LOI and will not reduce the sales charge previously paid. Sales charges will
be adjusted if LOI is not met.
•If
the employer maintaining a SEP IRA plan and/or SIMPLE IRA plan has elected to
establish or change ROA for the IRA accounts associated with the plan to a
plan-level grouping, LOIs will also be at the plan-level and may only be
established by the employer.

charges are waived for the following shareholders and in the following
situations:
•Associates
of Edward Jones and its affiliates and other accounts in the same pricing group
(as determined by Edward Jones under its policies and procedures) as the

PFS
Investments Inc. (“PFSI”) Policies Regarding Transactions Through
PFSI
The
following information supersedes all prior information with respect to
transactions and positions held in fund shares purchased through PFSI and held
on the mutual fund platform of its affiliate, Primerica Shareholder Services
(“PSS”). Clients of PFSI (also referred to as “shareholders”) purchasing fund
shares on the PSS platform are eligible only for the following share classes,
sales charge discounts (also referred to as “breakpoints”) and waivers, which
can differ from share classes, discounts and waivers described elsewhere in this
prospectus or the related statement of additional information (“SAI”) or through
another broker-dealer.
Share
Classes
Class
A shares: in non-retirement accounts, individual retirement accounts (IRA), SEP
IRAs, SIMPLE IRAs, Keogh Plans, and all other account types unless expressly
provided for below. Class C shares: only in accounts with existing Class C share
holdings.
Breakpoints
Breakpoint
pricing at dollar thresholds as described in the prospectus of the fund you are
purchasing.
Rights
of Accumulation (“ROA”)
The
applicable sales charge on a purchase of Class A shares is determined by taking
into account all share classes (except any assets held in group retirement
plans) of American Century Funds held by the shareholder on the PSS
Platform.
It
is the shareholder’s responsibility to inform PFSI of all eligible fund family
assets at the time of calculation. Shares of money market funds are included
only if such shares were acquired in exchange for shares of another American
Century Fund purchased with a sales charge. No shares of American Century Funds
held by the shareholder away from the PSS platform will be granted ROA with
shares of any American Century Fund purchased on the PSS platform.
Any
SEP IRA plan, any SIMPLE IRA plan or any Payroll Deduction plan (“PDP”) on the
PSS platform will be defaulted to plan-level grouping for purposes of ROA, which
allows each participating employee ROA with all other eligible shares held in
plan accounts on the PSS platform. At any time, a participating employee may
elect to exercise a one-time option to change grouping for purposes of ROA to
shareholder- level grouping, which allows the plan account of the electing
employee ROA with her other eligible holdings on the PSS platform, but not with
all other eligible participant holdings in the plan. Eligible shares held in
plan accounts electing shareholder-level grouping will not be available for
purposes of ROA to plan accounts electing plan-level grouping.
ROA
is determined by calculating the higher of cost minus redemptions or current
market value (current shares x NAV).
Letter
of Intent (“LOI”)
By
executing a LOI, shareholders can receive the sales charge and breakpoint
discounts for purchases shareholders intend to make over a 13-month period
through PFSI, from the date PSS receives the LOI. The purchase price of the LOI
is determined by calculating the higher of cost or market value of qualifying
holdings at LOI initiation in combination with the dollar amount the shareholder
intends to invest over a 13-month period to arrive at total investment for
purposes of determining any breakpoint discount and the applicable front-end
sales charge. Each purchase the shareholder makes during that 13-month period
will receive the sales charge and breakpoint discount that applies to the
projected total investment.
Only
holdings of American Century Funds on the PSS platform are eligible for
inclusion in the LOI calculation and the shareholder must notify PFSI of all
eligible assets at the time of calculation. It is the shareholder’s
responsibility to inform PFSI at the time of a purchase of all holdings of
American Century Funds on the PSS platform, or other facts qualifying the
purchaser for this discount.
Purchases
made before the LOI is received by PSS are not adjusted under the LOI, and the
LOI will not reduce any sales charge previously paid. Sales charges will be
automatically adjusted if the total purchases required by the LOI are not met.
If
an employer maintaining a SEP IRA plan, SIMPLE IRA plan or non-IRA PDP on the
PSS platform has elected to establish or change ROA for the accounts associated
with the plan to a plan-level grouping, LOIs will also be at the plan-level and
may only be established by the employer. LOIs are not available to PDP IRA plans
on the PSS platform with plan-level grouping for purposes of ROA, but are
available to any participating employee that elects shareholder-level grouping
for purposes of ROA.
Sales
Charge Waivers
Sales
charges are waived for the following shareholders and in the following
situations:
Shares
purchased through reinvestment of capital gains distributions and dividend
reinvestment.
Shares
purchased with the proceeds of redeemed shares of the same fund family so long
as the following conditions are met: 1) the proceeds are from the sale of shares
within 90 days of the purchase, 2) the sale and purchase are made in the same
share class and the same account or the purchase is made in an individual
retirement account with proceeds from liquidations in a non-retirement account,
and 3) the redeemed shares were subject to a front-end or deferred sales load,
Automated transactions (i.e. systematic purchases and withdrawals), full or
partial transfers or rollovers of retirement accounts, and purchases made after
shares are automatically sold to pay account maintenance fees are not eligible
for this sales charge waiver.
Shares
exchanged into Class A shares from another share class so long as the exchange
is into the same fund and was initiated at the discretion of PFSI. PFSI is
responsible for any remaining CDSC due to the fund company, if applicable. Any
future purchases are subject to the applicable sales charge as disclosed in the
prospectus.
Policies
Regarding Fund Purchases Through PFSI That Are Not Held on the PSS
Platform
Class
R shares are available through PFSI only in 401(k) plans covering a business
owner with no employees, commonly referred to as a one-participant 401(k) plan
or solo 401(k).
PFSI
may request reasonable documentation of facts qualifying the purchaser for the
discounts and waivers identified above, and condition the granting of any
discount or waiver on the timely receipt of such documents. Shareholders should
contact PSS if they have questions regarding their eligibility for these
discounts and waivers.
