Dear Investor:

Thank you for reviewing this annual report for the period ended August 31, 2023. Annual reports help convey important information about fund returns, including market factors that affected performance. For additional investment insights, please visit avantisinvestors.com.

Stocks Rebounded, Bonds Struggled

Asset class returns, particularly for U.S. and global stocks, improved dramatically compared with the previous fiscal year. The bounce back occurred despite ongoing volatility, rising interest rates and Fitch Ratings’ first-ever downgrade of U.S. debt.

Investor expectations for the Federal Reserve (Fed) to conclude its rate-hike campaign partly fueled the optimism. Inflation’s steady slowdown, mounting recession worries and a series of U.S. regional bank failures prompted investors to regularly recalibrate their monetary policy outlooks. However, with inflation still higher than central bank targets, the Fed and its developed markets peers continued to raise interest rates.

After pausing in June, the Fed resumed its tightening campaign in July, raising rates to a range of 5.25% to 5.5%, a 22-year high. Citing still-higher-than-target inflation and still-strong economic data, policymakers left their future policy options open. Inflation remained even higher in the eurozone and the U.K., prompting central bankers there to steadily raise interest rates. Government bond yields soared, including the benchmark 10-year Treasury yield, which surged to a 16-year high late in the period.

Despite the inflation and rate backdrops, better-than-expected corporate earnings helped the S&P 500 Index return 15.94% for the 12-month period. Non-U.S. developed markets stocks delivered modestly higher returns, while emerging markets stocks gained only 1.25%. Meanwhile, amid elevated inflation and sharply higher Treasury yields, most U.S. bond and other rate-sensitive sectors declined, though not as much as in the prior fiscal year. Exceptions included corporate and municipal bonds, which delivered modest gains.

Remaining Diligent in Uncertain Times

We expect market volatility to linger as investors navigate a complex environment of persistent inflation, tighter financial conditions, banking industry turbulence and recession risk. In addition, increasingly tense geopolitical considerations complicate the market backdrop.

We appreciate your confidence in us during these extraordinary times. American Century Investments has a long history of helping clients weather unpredictable and volatile markets, and we’re confident we will continue to meet today’s challenges.

Sincerely,

Portfolio Commentary

Portfolio Managers: Eduardo Repetto, Hozef Arif, Mitchell Handa and Daniel Ong

Fund Strategy

Avantis Core Fixed Income ETF seeks to maximize total returns by investing primarily in investment-grade debt obligations across sectors, maturities and issuers.

In seeking securities with high expected returns, the portfolio managers use an analytical framework, which includes an assessment of securities’ expected income and capital appreciation. The portfolio managers categorize securities within the fund’s investment universe into component groups based on factors such as industry sector, credit rating, duration, country and currency. The portfolio managers then calculate the expected return implied by the yield curve of each component group. At the same time, they consider valuation metrics, such as yield, duration and option-adjusted spreads. Finally, the portfolio managers adjust the weightings for each component group, with the goal of building a portfolio with enhanced expected return.

The fund is an actively managed exchange-traded fund (ETF) that does not seek to replicate the performance of a specified index. The portfolio managers continually analyze market and financial data to make buy, sell and hold decisions. When buying or selling a security, the portfolio managers may consider the trade-off between expected returns of the security and implementation or tax costs of the trade. They do this in an attempt to gain trading efficiencies, avoid unnecessary risk and enhance fund performance.

Performance Review

For the 12-month period ended August 31, 2023, Avantis Core Fixed Income ETF returned -0.50% on a market price basis. On a net asset value (NAV) basis, the fund returned -0.67%. NAV and market price returns reflect fees and operating expenses, while index returns do not.

The fund outperformed the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, which returned -1.19% for the reporting period. The index is an unmanaged index generally representative of the performance of the broad U.S. taxable investment-grade bond market.

An overweight versus the index to the corporate sector aided relative performance as credit spreads tightened for the period. In addition, the fund’s yield curve positioning enhanced relative results.

Portfolio Commentary

Portfolio Managers: Eduardo Repetto, Hozef Arif, Mitchell Handa and Daniel Ong

Fund Strategy

Avantis Core Municipal Fixed Income ETF seeks to generate current income exempt from federal income tax by investing primarily in municipal securities.

In seeking securities with high expected returns, the portfolio managers use an analytical framework, which includes an assessment of securities’ expected income and capital appreciation. The portfolio managers categorize securities within the fund’s investment universe into component groups based on factors such as industry sector, credit rating, duration, country and currency.

Performance Review

For the 12-month period ended August 31, 2023, Avantis Core Municipal Fixed Income ETF returned 2.27% on a market price basis. On a net asset value (NAV) basis, the fund returned 2.22%. NAV and market price returns reflect fees and operating expenses, while index returns do not.

The fund outperformed the S&P National AMT-Free Municipal Bond Index, which returned 2.17% for the reporting period. The index is a broad, comprehensive, market value-weighted index designed to measure the performance of the investment-grade tax-exempt U.S. municipal bond market.

The fund’s yield curve positioning and duration underweight relative to the benchmark drove outperformance during the period.

Portfolio Commentary

Portfolio Managers: Eduardo Repetto, Hozef Arif, Mitchell Handa and Daniel Ong

Fund Strategy

Avantis Short-Term Fixed Income ETF seeks to maximize total returns by investing primarily in shorter-maturity investment-grade debt obligations across sectors and issuers.

In seeking securities with high expected returns, the portfolio managers use an analytical framework, which includes an assessment of securities’ expected income and capital appreciation. The portfolio managers categorize securities within the fund’s investment universe into component groups based on factors such as industry sector, credit rating, duration, country and currency. The portfolio managers then calculate the expected return implied by the yield curve of each component group. At the same time, they consider valuation metrics, such as yield, duration and option-adjusted spreads.

They do this in an attempt to gain trading efficiencies, avoid unnecessary risk and enhance fund performance.

Performance Review

For the 12-month period ended August 31, 2023, Avantis Short-Term Fixed Income ETF returned 1.81% on a market price basis. On a net asset value (NAV) basis, the fund returned 1.63%. NAV and market price returns reflect fees and operating expenses, while index returns do not.

The fund outperformed the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Government/Credit 1-5 Year Index, which returned 1.19% for the reporting period. The index is an unmanaged index generally representative of the performance of U.S. Treasury, government agency and corporate bonds with maturities between one and five years.
An overweight versus the index to the corporate sector aided the fund’s relative performance as credit spreads tightened for the period. In addition, the fund’s duration underweight and yield curve positioning enhanced relative results.

Shareholder Fee Examples

Fund shareholders may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of fund shares; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in your fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing cost of investing in other funds.

The example is based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from March 1, 2023 to August 31, 2023.

Actual Expenses

The table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses for each fund. You may use the information, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. First, identify the fund you own. Then simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The table also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual expense ratio of your fund and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the actual return of a fund. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of fund shares. Therefore, the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

‡The maximum potential amount the fund could be required to deliver as a seller of credit protection if a credit event occurs as defined under the terms of the agreement is the notional amount. The maximum potential amount may be partially offset by any recovery values of the reference entities and upfront payments received upon entering into the agreement.

^The value for credit default swap agreements serves as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and represent the likelihood of an expected liability or profit at the period end. Increasing values in absolute terms when compared to the notional amount of the credit default swap agreement represent a deterioration of the referenced entity's credit soundness and an increased likelihood or risk of a credit event occurring as defined in the agreement.

Notes to Financial Statements

AUGUST 31, 2023

1. Organization

American Century ETF Trust (the trust) was registered as a Delaware statutory trust in 2017 and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company.  Avantis Core Fixed Income ETF, Avantis Core Municipal Fixed Income ETF and Avantis Short-Term Fixed Income ETF (collectively, the funds) are three funds in a series issued by the trust. The investment objective for Avantis Core Fixed Income ETF and Avantis Short-Term Fixed Income ETF is to seek to maximize total return.  Avantis Core Municipal Fixed Income ETF’s investment objective is to seek current income that is exempt from federal income tax.  Shares of the funds are listed for trading on the NYSE Arca, Inc.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the funds in preparation of their financial statements. Each fund is an investment company and follows accounting and reporting guidance in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. This may require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Management evaluated the impact of events or transactions occurring through the date the financial statements were issued that would merit recognition or disclosure.

Investment Valuations — The funds determine the fair value of their investments and compute their net asset value (NAV) per share at 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. The value of investments of the funds are determined by American Century Investment Management, Inc. (ACIM) (the investment advisor), as the valuation designee, pursuant to its valuation policies and procedures. The Board of Trustees oversees the valuation designee and reviews its valuation policies and procedures at least annually. 

Fixed income securities are valued at the evaluated mean as provided by independent pricing services or at the mean of the most recent bid and asked prices as provided by investment dealers. Corporate bonds, U.S. Treasury and Government Agency securities, municipal securities, and sovereign governments and agencies are valued using market models that consider trade data, quotations from dealers and active market makers, relevant yield curve and spread data, creditworthiness, trade data or market information on comparable securities, and other relevant security specific information. Mortgage-related securities are valued based on models that consider trade data, prepayment and default projections, benchmark yield and spread data and estimated cash flows of each tranche of the issuer.

Open-end management investment companies are valued at the reported NAV per share. Exchange-traded futures contracts are valued at the settlement price as provided by the appropriate exchange. Swap agreements are valued at an evaluated mean as provided by independent pricing services or independent brokers.

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. Circumstances that may cause the funds to determine that market quotations are not available or reliable include, but are not limited to: when there is a significant event subsequent to the market quotation; trading in a security has been halted during the trading day; or trading in a security is insufficient or did not take place due to a closure or holiday.

The valuation designee monitors for significant events occurring after the close of an investment’s primary exchange but before each fund’s NAV per share is determined. Significant events may include, but are not limited to: corporate announcements and transactions; regulatory news, governmental action and political unrest that could impact a specific investment or an investment sector; or armed conflicts, natural disasters and similar events that could affect investments in a specific country or region.

Security Transactions — Security transactions are accounted for as of the trade date. Net realized gains and losses are determined on the identified cost basis, which is also used for federal income tax purposes.

Investment Income — Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis and includes accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums. Inflation adjustments related to inflation-linked debt securities are reflected as
64


interest income. Securities lending income is net of fees and rebates earned by the lending agent for its services.

Forward Commitments — The funds may engage in securities transactions on a forward commitment basis. In these transactions, the securities’ prices and yields are fixed on the date of the commitment. The funds may sell a to-be-announced (TBA) security and at the same time make a commitment to purchase the same security at a future date at a specified price. Conversely, the funds may purchase a TBA security and at the same time make a commitment to sell the same security at a future date at a specified price. These types of transactions are known as “TBA roll” transactions and are accounted for as purchases and sales. The funds will segregate cash, cash equivalents or other appropriate liquid securities on its records in amounts sufficient to meet the purchase price.

Income Tax Status — It is each fund's policy to distribute substantially all net investment income and net realized gains to shareholders and to otherwise qualify as a regulated investment company under provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, no provision has been made for income taxes. The funds file U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S. tax returns as applicable. The funds' tax returns are subject to examination by the relevant taxing authority until expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, which is generally three years from the date of filing but can be longer in certain jurisdictions. At this time, management believes there are no uncertain tax positions which, based on their technical merit, would not be sustained upon examination and for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.

Distributions to Shareholders — Distributions from net investment income, if any, are generally declared and paid monthly. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are generally declared and paid annually.

Indemnifications — Under the trust’s organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the funds. In addition, in the normal course of business, the funds enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against a fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered by management to be remote.

Securities Lending — Securities are lent to qualified financial institutions and brokers. State Street Bank & Trust Co. serves as securities lending agent to the funds pursuant to a Securities Lending Agreement. The lending of securities exposes the funds to risks such as: the borrowers may fail to return the loaned securities, the borrowers may not be able to provide additional collateral, the funds may experience delays in recovery of the loaned securities or delays in access to collateral, or the funds may experience losses related to the investment collateral. To minimize certain risks, loan counterparties pledge collateral in the form of cash and/or securities. The lending agent has agreed to indemnify the funds in the case of default of any securities borrowed. Cash collateral received is invested in the State Street Navigator Securities Lending Government Money Market Portfolio, a money market mutual fund registered under the 1940 Act. The loans may also be secured by U.S. government securities in an amount at least equal to the market value of the securities loaned, plus accrued interest and dividends, determined on a daily basis and adjusted accordingly. By lending securities, the funds seek to increase their net investment income through the receipt of interest and fees. Such income is reflected separately within the Statements of Operations. The value of loaned securities and related collateral outstanding at period end, if any, are shown on a gross basis within the Schedules of Investments and Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

The following table reflects a breakdown of transactions accounted for as secured borrowings, the gross obligation by the type of collateral pledged, and the remaining contractual maturity of those transactions as of August 31, 2023.

3. Fees and Transactions with Related Parties

Certain officers and trustees of the trust are also officers and/or directors of American Century Companies, Inc. (ACC). The trust's investment advisor, ACIM, and the trust’s administrator, American Century Services, LLC, are wholly owned, directly or indirectly, by ACC.

Management Fees — The trust has entered into a management agreement with ACIM, under which ACIM provides the funds with investment advisory and management services in exchange for a single, unified management fee (the fee). The agreement provides that ACIM will pay all expenses of managing and operating the funds, except brokerage and other transaction fees and expenses relating to the acquisition and disposition of portfolio securities, acquired fund fees and expenses, interest, taxes, litigation expenses and extraordinary expenses. The fee is computed and accrued daily based on the daily net assets of each fund and paid monthly in arrears. 

The annual management fee for each fund is as follows:
Annual Management Fee
Avantis Core Fixed Income ETF 0.15%
Avantis Core Municipal Fixed Income ETF 0.15%
Avantis Short-Term Fixed Income ETF 0.15%

Other Expenses — A fund’s other expenses may include interest charges, clearing exchange fees, proxy solicitation expenses, fees associated with the recovery of foreign tax reclaims and other miscellaneous expenses.

4. Investment Transactions

Avantis Short-Term Fixed Income ETF $150,608,458
*Net realized gain (loss) on in kind transactions are not considered taxable for federal income tax purposes.

5. Capital Share Transactions

Each fund’s shares may only be bought and sold in a secondary market through a broker-dealer at a market price. Because ETF shares trade at market prices rather than NAV, shares may trade at a price greater than NAV (a premium) or less than NAV (a discount). Each fund issues and redeems shares at their NAV only in aggregations of a specified number of shares (a creation unit) generally in exchange for a designated portfolio of securities and/or cash (including any portion of such securities for which cash may be substituted). Authorized participants may be required to pay an additional variable charge to cover certain brokerage, tax, foreign exchange, execution, market impact and other costs and expenses related to the execution of trades
66


resulting from creation unit transactions. Such variable charges, if any, are included in other capital within the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.

6. Fair Value Measurements

The funds' investment valuation process is based on several considerations and may use multiple inputs to determine the fair value of the investments held by the funds. In conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the inputs used to determine a valuation are classified into three broad levels. 

Level 1 valuation inputs consist of unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical investments.

Level 2 valuation inputs consist of direct or indirect observable market data (including quoted prices for comparable investments, evaluations of subsequent market events, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.). These inputs also consist of quoted prices for identical investments initially expressed in local currencies that are adjusted through translation into U.S. dollars. 

Level 3 valuation inputs consist of unobservable data (including a fund’s own assumptions).

The level classification is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair valuation measurement. The valuation inputs are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in these securities or other financial instruments.

The following is a summary of the level classifications as of period end. The Schedules of Investments provide additional information on the funds' portfolio holdings.

7. Derivative Instruments

Credit Risk — The funds are subject to credit risk in the normal course of pursuing their investment objectives. The value of a bond generally declines as the credit quality of its issuer declines. Credit default swap agreements enable a fund to buy/sell protection against a credit event of a specific issuer or index. A fund may attempt to enhance returns by selling protection or attempt to mitigate credit risk by buying protection. The buyer/seller of credit protection against a security or basket of securities may pay/receive an up-front or periodic payment to compensate for/against potential default events. Changes in value, including the periodic amounts of interest to be paid or received on swap agreements, are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on swap agreements. Upon entering into a centrally cleared swap, a fund is required to deposit cash or securities (initial margin) with a financial intermediary in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the notional amount. A fund may incur charges or earn income on cash deposit balances, which are reflected in interest expenses or interest income, respectively. Subsequent payments (variation margin) are made or received daily, in cash, by a fund. The variation margin is equal to the daily change in the value and is a component of unrealized gains and losses. Realized gain or loss is recorded upon receipt or payment of a periodic settlement or termination of swap agreements. Net realized and unrealized gains or losses occurring during the holding period of swap agreements are a component of net realized gain (loss) on swap agreement transactions and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on swap agreements, respectively. The risks of entering into swap agreements include the possible lack of liquidity, failure of the counterparty to meet its obligations, and that there may be unfavorable changes in the underlying investments or instruments.

The funds' average notional amount to credit risk derivative instruments held during the period were as follows:
Avantis Core Fixed Income ETF $ 8,083,333 

Interest Rate Risk — The funds are subject to interest rate risk in the normal course of pursuing their investment objectives. The value of bonds generally declines as interest rates rise. A fund may enter into futures contracts based on a bond index or a specific underlying security. A fund may purchase futures contracts to gain exposure to increases in market value or sell futures contracts to protect against a decline in market value. Upon entering into a futures contract, a fund will segregate cash, cash equivalents or other appropriate liquid securities on its records in amounts sufficient to meet requirements. A fund may incur charges or earn income on cash deposit balances, which are reflected in interest expenses or interest income, respectively. Subsequent payments (variation margin) are made or received daily, in cash, by a fund. The variation margin is equal to the daily change in the contract value and is recorded as unrealized gains and losses. A fund recognizes a realized gain or loss when the futures contract is closed or expires. Net realized and unrealized gains or losses occurring during the holding period of futures contracts are a component of net realized gain (loss) on futures contract transactions and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on futures contracts, respectively. One of the risks of entering into futures contracts is the possibility that the change in value of the contract may not correlate with the changes in value of the underlying securities.

The funds' average notional exposure to interest rate risk derivative instruments held during the period were as follows:

8. Risk Factors

The value of the funds’ shares will go up and down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably, based on the performance of the securities owned by the funds and other factors generally affecting the securities market. Market risks, including political, regulatory, economic and social developments, can affect the value of the funds’ 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.

A fund's investment process may result in high portfolio turnover, which could mean high transaction costs, affecting both performance and capital gains tax liabilities to investors.

9. Federal Tax Information

The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended August 31, 2023 and August 31, 2022 were as follows:
2023 2022
Distributions Paid From: Distributions Paid From:
Exempt
Income
Ordinary Income
Long-term
Capital Gains
Exempt
Income
Ordinary
Income
Long-term
Capital Gains
Avantis Core Fixed Income ETF $ 12,947,460 $ 2,680,155
Avantis Core Municipal Fixed Income ETF $ 1,437,620 $ 271,910
Avantis Short-Term Fixed Income ETF $ 6,495,520 $ 622,910

The book-basis character of distributions made during the year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. These differences reflect the differing character of certain income items and net realized gains and losses for financial statement and tax purposes, and may result in reclassification among certain capital accounts on the financial statements.


As of period end, the federal tax cost of investments and the components of distributable earnings on a tax-basis were as follows:
Avantis Core Fixed Income ETF
Avantis Core Municipal Fixed Income ETF
Avantis Short-Term Fixed Income ETF
Federal tax cost of investments $ 634,896,024  $ 89,239,859  $ 250,346,900 
Gross tax appreciation of investments $ 450,419  $ 186,108  $ 75,738 
Gross tax depreciation of investments (19,246,219) (3,140,790) (4,035,019)
Net tax appreciation (depreciation) of investments (18,795,800) (2,954,682) (3,959,281)
Net tax appreciation (depreciation) on forward sales commitments 19,257  —  — 
Net tax appreciation (depreciation) on derivatives 78,766  —  — 
Net tax appreciation (depreciation) $ (18,697,777) $ (2,954,682) $ (3,959,281)
Undistributed ordinary income $ 2,083,907  —  $ 944,679 
Undistributed exempt income —  $ 210,730  — 
Accumulated short-term capital losses $ (11,576,914) $ (10,141) $ (1,238,809)
Accumulated long-term capital losses $ (5,777,839) $ (36,330) $ (1,721,457)

The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales, excess premium amortization and the realization for tax purposes of unrealized gains (losses) on futures contracts.

Accumulated capital losses represent net capital loss carryovers that may be used to offset future realized
capital gains for federal income tax purposes. The capital loss carryovers may be carried forward for an
unlimited period. Future capital loss carryover utilization in any given year may be subject to Internal Revenue
Code limitations.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Funds are not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of their internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

74


Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2023, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Management

The Board of Trustees

They are not employees, directors or officers of, and have no financial interest in, ACC or any of its wholly owned, direct or indirect, subsidiaries, including ACIM and American Century Services, LLC (ACS), 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. The following trustees also serve in this capacity for a number of other registered investment companies in the American Century Investments family of funds: Jonathan S. Thomas, 15; Jeremy I. Bulow, 8; and Stephen E. Yates, 7.

Approval of Management Agreement

At a meeting held on June 21, 2023, the Funds’ Board of Trustees (the "Board") unanimously approved the renewal of the management agreement pursuant to which American Century Investment Management, Inc. (the “Advisor”) acts as the investment advisor for each of the Funds. Under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Investment Company Act”), contracts for investment advisory services are required to be reviewed, evaluated, and approved by a majority of a fund’s Trustees, including a majority of the independent Trustees.

Prior to its consideration of the management agreement renewal, the Trustees requested and reviewed extensive data and information compiled by the Advisor and certain independent data providers concerning the Funds. This review was in addition to the oversight and evaluation undertaken by the Board and its Audit Committee on a continual basis and the information received was supplemental to the extensive information that the Board and its Audit Committee receive and consider over time.

In connection with its consideration of the management agreement renewal, the Board’s review and evaluation of the services provided by the Advisor included, but was not limited to

the nature, extent, and quality of investment management, shareholder services, distribution services, and other services provided to the Funds;
the wide range of programs and services the Advisor and other service providers provide to the Funds and their shareholders on a routine and non-routine basis;
the Funds’ investment performance compared to appropriate benchmarks and/or peer groups of other funds with similar investment objectives and strategies;
the cost of owning the Funds compared to the cost of owning similarly-managed funds;
the Advisor’s compliance policies, procedures, and regulatory experience and those of certain other service providers;
the Advisor’s strategic plans, generally, and with respect to areas of heightened regulatory interest in the mutual fund industry and certain recent geopolitical and other issues;
the Advisor’s business continuity plans, vendor management practices, and information security practices;
the cost of services provided to the Funds, the profitability of the Funds to the Advisor, and the Advisor’s financial results of operation;
possible economies of scale associated with the Advisor’s management of the Funds;
any collateral benefits derived by the Advisor from the management of the Funds;
fees and expenses associated with any investment by the Funds in other funds;
payments to intermediaries by the Funds and the Advisor and services provided by intermediaries in connection therewith; and
services provided and charges to the Advisor’s other investment management clients.

The independent Trustees met separately in private sessions to discuss the renewal and to review and discuss the information provided in response to their request. The independent Trustees also held active discussions with the Advisor regarding the renewal of the management agreement. The independent Trustees had the benefit of the advice of their independent counsel throughout the process.

Factors Considered

The Trustees considered all of the information provided by the Advisor, the independent data providers, and independent counsel in connection with the approval. They determined that the information was sufficient for them to evaluate the management agreement for the Funds. In connection with their review, the Trustees did not identify any single factor as being all-important or controlling, and each Trustee may have attributed different levels of importance to different factors.
78


In deciding to renew the management agreement, the Board based its decision on a number of factors, including without limitation the following:

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services — Generally. Under each Fund’s management agreement, the Advisor is responsible for providing or arranging for all services necessary for the operation of each Fund. The Board noted that the Advisor provides or arranges at its own expense a wide variety of services which include the following:

constructing and designing each Fund
portfolio research and security selection
initial capitalization/funding
securities trading
Fund administration
custody of Fund assets
daily valuation of each Fund’s portfolio
liquidity monitoring and management
risk management, including information security
shareholder servicing and transfer agency, including shareholder confirmations, recordkeeping, and communications
legal services (except the independent Trustees’ counsel)
regulatory and portfolio compliance
financial reporting
marketing and distribution (except amounts paid by each Fund under Rule 12b-1 plans)

Investment Management Services. The nature of the investment management services provided to the Funds is quite complex and allows Fund shareholders access to professional money management, instant diversification of their investments, and liquidity. In evaluating investment performance, the Board expects the Advisor to manage each Fund in accordance with its investment objectives and principal investment strategies. Further, the Trustees recognize that the Advisor has an obligation to monitor trading activities, and in particular to seek the best execution of fund trades, and to evaluate the use of and payment for research. In providing these services, the Advisor utilizes teams of investment professionals who require extensive information technology, research, training, compliance, and other systems to conduct their business. The Board provides oversight of the investment performance process. It regularly reviews investment performance information for each Fund, together with comparative information for appropriate benchmarks over different time horizons. The Trustees also review investment performance information during the management agreement renewal process. If performance concerns are identified, the Board discusses with the Advisor the reasons for such results and any actions being taken to improve performance. The performance for Avantis Core Municipal Fixed Income ETF and Avantis Short-Term Fixed Income ETF was above each Fund’s respective benchmark for the one-year period reviewed by the Board. The performance for Avantis Core Fixed Income ETF was below its benchmark for the one-year period reviewed by the Board.The Board found the investment management services provided by the Advisor to each Fund to be satisfactory and consistent with the management agreement.

Shareholder and Other Services. Under the management agreement, the Advisor provides or arranges for a comprehensive package of services to the Funds. The Board, directly and through its Audit Committee, regularly reviews reports and evaluations of such services at its regular meetings. These reports include, but are not limited to, information regarding the operational efficiency and accuracy of the shareholder and transfer agency services provided, staffing levels, shareholder satisfaction, technology support (including information security), new products and services offered to Fund shareholders, securities trading activities, portfolio valuation services, auditing services, and legal and operational compliance activities. The Board found the services provided by the Advisor to each Fund under the management agreement to be competitive and of high quality.

79


Costs of Services and Profitability. The Advisor provides detailed information concerning its cost of providing various services to the Funds, its profitability in managing each Fund (pre- and post-distribution), and its financial results of operation. The Trustees have reviewed with the Advisor the methodology used to prepare this financial information. This information is considered in evaluating the Advisor’s financial condition, its ability to continue to provide services under the management agreement, and the reasonableness of the terms of the current management agreement. The Board concluded that the Advisor’s profits were reasonable in light of the services provided to the Funds.

Ethics. The Board generally considers the Advisor’s commitment to providing quality services to the Funds and to conducting its business ethically. They noted that the Advisor’s practices generally meet or exceed industry best practices.

Economies of Scale. The Board also reviewed information provided by the Advisor regarding the possible existence of economies of scale in connection with the management of each Fund. The Board concluded that economies of scale are difficult to measure and predict with precision, especially on a fund-by-fund basis. The Board concluded that the Advisor is sharing economies of scale, to the extent they exist, through its fee structure and through reinvestment in its business, infrastructure, investment capabilities and initiatives to provide shareholders additional content and services.

Comparison to Other Funds’ Fees. The management agreement provides that each Fund pays the Advisor a single, all-inclusive (or unified) management fee for providing all services necessary for the management and operation of the Fund, other than brokerage and other transaction fees and expenses relating to acquisition and disposition of portfolio securities, acquired fund fees and expenses, taxes, interest, extraordinary expenses, fund litigation expenses, expenses incurred in connection with the provision of shareholder services and distribution services under a plan adopted pursuant to Investment Company Act Rule 12b-1, and, for certain funds, fees and expenses of the Fund’s independent Trustees (including their independent legal counsel). Under the unified fee structure, the Advisor is responsible for providing investment advisory, custody, audit, administrative, compliance, recordkeeping, marketing and shareholder services, or arranging and supervising third parties to provide such services. The Board believes the unified fee structure is a benefit to Fund shareholders because it clearly discloses to shareholders the cost of owning Fund shares, and, since the unified fee cannot be increased without a vote of Fund shareholders, it shifts to the Advisor the risk of increased costs of operating the Fund and provides a direct incentive to minimize administrative inefficiencies. Part of the Board’s analysis of fee levels involves reviewing certain evaluative data compiled by an independent provider comparing the Fund’s unified fee to the total expense ratios of its peers. The unified fee charged to shareholders of Avantis Core Fixed Income ETF and Avantis Short-Term Fixed Income ETF was below the median of the total expense ratios of each Fund’s peer expense universe and was the lowest of its peer expense group. The unified fee charged to shareholders of Avantis Core Municipal Fixed Income ETF was the lowest of the total expense ratios of the Fund’s peer expense universe and its peer expense group. The Board concluded that the management fee paid by each Fund to the Advisor under its management agreement is reasonable in light of the services provided to the Fund.

Comparison to Fees and Services Provided to Other Clients of the Advisor. The Board also requested and received information from the Advisor concerning the nature of the services, fees, costs, and profitability of its advisory services to funds or other advisory clients managed similarly to the Funds. They observed that these varying types of client accounts require different services and involve different regulatory and entrepreneurial risks than the management of the Funds. The Board analyzed this information and concluded that the fees charged and services provided to the Funds were reasonable by comparison.

Payments to Intermediaries. The Trustees also requested and received a description of payments made to intermediaries by each Fund and the Advisor and services provided in response thereto. These payments could include various payments made by each Fund or the Advisor to
80


different types of intermediaries and recordkeepers for distribution and service activities provided for each Fund. The Trustees reviewed such information and received representations from the Advisor that all such payments by the Advisor were made from the Advisor’s resources and reasonable profits.

Collateral or “Fall-Out” Benefits Derived by the Advisor. The Board considered the possible existence of collateral benefits the Advisor may receive as a result of its relationship with the Funds. They concluded that the Advisor’s primary business is managing funds and it generally does not use fund or shareholder information to generate profits in other lines of business, and therefore does not derive any significant collateral benefits from them. The Board noted that additional assets from other clients may offer the Advisor some benefit from increased leverage with prospective clients, service providers, and counterparties. The Board also determined that the Advisor is able to provide investment management services to certain clients other than the Funds, at least in part, due to its existing infrastructure built to serve the fund complex. The Board concluded that appropriate allocation methodologies had been employed to assign resources and the cost of those resources to these other clients.

Existing Relationship. The Board also considered whether there was any reason for not continuing the existing arrangement with the Advisor. In this regard, the Board was mindful of the potential disruptions of the Funds’ operations and various risks, uncertainties, and other effects that could occur as a result of a decision not to continue such relationship. In particular, the Board recognized that most shareholders have invested in each Fund on the strength of the Advisor’s industry standing and reputation and in the expectation that the Advisor will have a continuing role in providing advisory services to each Fund.

Conclusion of the Trustees. As a result of this process, the Board, including all of the independent Trustees, taking into account all of the factors discussed above and the information provided by the Advisor and others in connection with its review and received over time, determined that the terms of the management agreement are fair and reasonable and that the management fee charged to each Fund is fair in light of the services provided and that the investment management agreement between each Fund and the Advisor should be renewed for an additional one-year period.

81


Liquidity Risk Management Program

The Funds have adopted a liquidity risk management program (the “program”). The Funds' Board of Trustees (the "Board") has designated American Century Investment Management, Inc. (“ACIM”) as the administrator of the program. Personnel of ACIM or its affiliates, including members of ACIM’s Investment Oversight Committee who are members of ACIM’s Investment Management and Global Analytics departments, conduct the day-to-day operation of the program pursuant to the program.

Under the program, ACIM manages the Funds' liquidity risk, which is the risk that the Funds could not meet shareholder redemption requests without significant dilution of remaining shareholders’ interests in the Funds. This risk is managed by monitoring the degree of liquidity of the Funds' investments, limiting the amount of the Funds' illiquid investments, and utilizing various risk management tools and facilities available to the Funds for meeting shareholder redemptions, among other means. ACIM’s process of determining the degree of liquidity of certain investments held by the Funds are supported by a third-party liquidity assessment vendor.

The Board reviewed a report prepared by ACIM regarding the operation and effectiveness of the program for the period January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2022. No significant liquidity events impacting the Funds were noted in the report. In addition, ACIM provided its assessment that the program had been effective in managing the Funds' liquidity risk.

Additional Information
 
Retirement Account Information
 
As required by law, distributions you receive from certain retirement accounts are subject to federal income tax withholding at the IRS default rate of 10%.* Tax will be withheld on the total amount withdrawn even though you may be receiving amounts that are not subject to withholding, such as nondeductible contributions. In such case, excess amounts of withholding could occur. You may adjust your withholding election so that a greater or lesser amount will be withheld.
Remember, even if you elect not to have income tax withheld, you are liable for paying income tax on the taxable portion of your withdrawal. If you elect not to have income tax withheld or you don’t have enough income tax withheld, you may be responsible for payment of estimated tax. You may incur penalties under the estimated tax rules if your withholding and estimated tax payments are not sufficient. You can reduce or defer the income tax on a distribution by directly or indirectly rolling such distribution over to another IRA or eligible plan. You should consult your tax advisor for additional information.
State tax will be withheld according to state regulations if, at the time of your distribution, your tax residency is within one of the mandatory withholding states.
*Some 403(b), 457 and qualified retirement plan distributions may be subject to 20% mandatory withholding, as they are subject to special tax and withholding rules.  Your plan administrator or plan sponsor is required to provide you with a special tax notice explaining those rules at the time you request a distribution.  If applicable, federal and/or state taxes may be withheld from your distribution amount.
