CALIFORNIA MUNICIPAL MONEY MARKET FUND

1. WHAT IS THE FUND'S INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE?

    California Municipal Money Market seeks safety of principal and high current
    income that is exempt from federal and California income taxes.

2. WHAT IS THE FUND'S INVESTMENT STRATEGY?

    The fund managers buy high-quality, very short-term debt securities with
    interest payments exempt from federal and California income taxes. Cities,
    counties and other municipalities in California usually issue these
    securities for public projects.

    The fund managers also may buy high-quality, very short-term debt securities
    whose payments are exempt from federal and California income taxes, but not
    the federal alternative minimum tax. Cities, counties and other
    municipalities in California usually issue these securities (called private
    activity bonds) to fund for-profit private projects, such as athletic
    stadiums, airports and apartment buildings.

    Additional information about California Municipal Money Market's investments
    is available in its annual and semi-annual reports. In these reports you
    will find a discussion of the market conditions and investment strategies
    that significantly affected the fund's performance during the most recent
    fiscal period. You may get these reports at no cost by calling us.

3. WHAT ARE THE SIGNIFICANT RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE FUND?

    *  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. Although the fund seeks to preserve the value of your
    investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in
    the fund.

    *  Because high-quality, very short-term debt securities are among the
    safest securities available, the interest they pay is among the lowest for
    income-paying securities. Accordingly, the yield on this fund will likely be
    lower than funds that invest in longer-term or lower-quality securities.

    *  Some or all of the fund's income may be subject to the federal
    alternative minimum tax.

    *  Because the fund invests primarily in California municipal securities, it
    will be sensitive to events that affect California's economy. California
    Municipal Money Market may have a higher level of risk than funds that
    invest in a larger universe of securities.

4. WHAT ARE THE FUND'S FEES AND EXPENSES?

    There are no sales loads, fees or other charges

    *  to buy fund shares directly from American Century

    *  to reinvest dividends in additional shares

    *  to exchange into the Investor Class shares of other American Century funds

    *  to redeem your shares

    The following table describes the fees and expenses you may pay if you buy
    and hold shares of the fund.

     ANNUAL FUND OPERATING EXPENSES
     (EXPENSES THAT ARE DEDUCTED FROM FUND ASSETS)
         Management Fee                                0.49%(1)
         Distribution and Service (12b-1) Fees           None
         Other Expenses                                0.00%(2)
         Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses          0.49%


        (1) Based on expenses incurred during the fund's most recent fiscal
        year. The fund has a stepped fee schedule. As a result, the fund's
        management fee rate generally decreases as fund assets increase.

        (2) Other expenses, which include the fees and expenses of the fund's
        independent trustees and their legal counsel, as well as interest, were
        less than 0.005% for the most recent fiscal year.

           EXAMPLE
             Assuming you . . .
             * invest $10,000 in the fund
             * redeem all of your shares at the end of the periods shown below
             * earn a 5% return each year
             * incur the same operating expenses as shown above
             . . . your cost of investing in the fund would be:

            1 year  3 years  5 years  10 years
              $50     $157     $274     $615

             Of course, actual costs may be higher or lower. Use this example
             to compare the costs of investing in other funds.

    in a larger universe of securities.

CALIFORNIA LIMITED-TERM TAX-FREE FUND

1. WHAT IS THE FUND'S INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE?

    California Limited-Term Tax-Free seeks safety of principal and high current
    income that is exempt from federal and California income taxes.

2. WHAT IS THE FUND'S INVESTMENT STRATEGY?

    The fund managers buy quality, short-term debt securities with interest
    payments exempt from federal and California income taxes. Cities, counties
    and other municipalities in California usually issue these securities for
    public projects.

    The fund may also use futures contracts and options to pursue its investment
    objective.

    During unusual market conditions, the fund is permitted to keep a
    significant amount of its assets in cash or cash-equivalents. If it does, it
    may not achieve its investment objective and may generate taxable income.

    The weighted average maturity of the fund is expected to be five years or less.

    Additional information about California Limited-Term Tax-Free's investments
    is available in its annual and semiannual reports. In these reports you will
    find a discussion of the market conditions and investment strategies that
    significantly affected the fund's performance during the most recent fiscal
    period. You may get these reports at no cost by calling us.

3. WHAT ARE THE SIGNIFICANT RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE FUND?

    *  When interest rates change, the fund's share value will be affected.
    Generally, when interest rates rise, the fund's share value will decline.
    The opposite is true when interest rates decline. The interest rate risk for
    California Limited-Term Tax-Free is higher than for funds that have shorter
    weighted average maturities, such as money market funds.

    *  The fund may invest part of its assets in securities rated in the lowest
    investment grade category (for example, Baa or BBB category). The issuers of
    these securities are more likely to pose a credit risk, that is, to have
    problems making interest and principal payments, than issuers of higher
    rated securities.

    *  Because the fund invests primarily in California municipal securities, it
    will be sensitive to events that affect California's economy. California
    Limited-Term Tax-Free may have a higher level of risk than funds that invest
    in a larger universe of securities.

    *  As with all funds, at any given time your shares may be worth more or
    less than the price you paid for them. As a result, it is possible to lose
    money by investing in the fund.

    *  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.

    In summary, California Limited-Term Tax-Free is intended for investors who
    seek safety of principal and high current income that is exempt from federal
    and California income taxes through a municipal securities fund, and who are
    willing to accept the risks associated with the fund's investment strategy.

              $52    $163      $285     $640

CALIFORNIA LONG-TERM TAX-FREE FUND

1. WHAT IS THE FUND'S INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE?

    California Long-Term Tax-Free seeks safety of principal and high current
    income that is exempt from federal and California income taxes.

2. WHAT IS THE FUND'S INVESTMENT STRATEGY?

    The fund managers buy quality, long-term debt securities with interest
    payments exempt from federal and California income taxes. Cities, counties
    and other municipalities in California usually issue these securities for
    public projects.

    The fund may also use futures contracts and options to pursue its investment
    objective.

    During unusual market conditions, the fund is permitted to keep a
    significant amount of its assets in cash or cash-equivalents. If it does, it
    may not achieve its investment objective and may generate taxable income.

    The weighted average maturity of the fund is expected to be 10 years or
    longer.

    Additional information about California Long-Term Tax-Free's investments is
    available in its annual and semiannual reports. In these reports you will
    find a discussion of the market conditions and investment strategies that
    significantly affected the fund's performance during the most recent fiscal
    period. You may get these reports at no cost by calling us.

3. WHAT ARE THE SIGNIFICANT RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE FUND?

    *  When interest rates change, the fund's share value will be affected.
    Generally, when interest rates rise, the fund's share value will decline.
    The opposite is true when interest rates decline. The interest rate risk for
    California Long-Term Tax-Free is higher than for funds that have shorter
    weighted average maturities, such as money market and short-term and
    intermediate-term bond funds.

    *  The fund may invest part of its assets in securities rated in the lowest
    investment grade category (for example, Baa or BBB category). The issuers of
    these securities are more likely to pose a credit risk, that is, to have
    problems making interest and principal payments, than issuers of higher
    rated securities.

    *  Because the fund invests primarily in California municipal securities, it
    will be sensitive to events that affect California's economy. California
    Long-Term Tax-Free may have a higher level of risk than funds that invest in
    a larger universe of securities.

    *  As with all funds, at any given time your shares may be worth more or
    less than the price you paid for them. As a result, it is possible to lose
    money by investing in the fund.

    *  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.

    In summary, California Long-Term Tax-Free is intended for investors who seek
    safety of principal and high current income that is exempt from federal and
    California income taxes through a municipal securities fund, and who are
    willing to accept the risks associated with the fund's investment strategy.

CALIFORNIA HIGH-YIELD MUNICIPAL FUND

1. WHAT IS THE FUND'S INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE?

    California High-Yield Municipal seeks high current income that is exempt
    from federal and California income taxes.

2. WHAT IS THE FUND'S INVESTMENT STRATEGY?

    The fund managers buy long- and intermediate-term debt securities with
    interest payments exempt from federal and California income taxes. Cities,
    counties and other municipalities in the 50 states and U.S. territories
    usually issue these securities for public projects.

    The fund managers also may buy long- and intermediate-term debt securities
    whose interest payments are exempt from regular federal and California
    income taxes, but not the federal alternative minimum tax. Cities, counties
    and other municipalities in California usually issue these securities
    (called private activity bonds) to fund for-profit private projects, such as
    athletic stadiums, airports and apartment buildings. Between 10% and 30% of
    the fund's total assets may be invested in these securities.

    The fund managers buy securities rated below investment- grade, including
    so-called junk bonds and bonds that are in technical or monetary default.
    Issuers of these securities often have short financial histories,
    questionable credit, or problems making interest and principal payments.

    During unusual market conditions, the fund is permitted to keep a
    significant amount of its assets in cash or cash-equivalents. If it does, it
    may not achieve its investment objective and may generate taxable income.

    Additional information about California High-Yield Municipal's investments
    is available in its annual and semi-annual reports. In these reports you
    will find a discussion of the market conditions and investment strategies
    that significantly affected the fund's performance during the most recent
    fiscal period. You may get these reports at no cost by calling us.

3. WHAT ARE THE SIGNIFICANT RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE FUND?

    *  The value of the fund's shares depends on the value of the securities it
    owns and the income they produce. When interest rates change, the fund's
    share value will be affected. Generally, when interest rates rise, the
    fund's share value will decline. The opposite is true when interest rates
    decline. This interest rate risk is higher for the fund than for funds that
    have shorter weighted average maturities, such as money market and
    short-term bond funds.

    *  Issuers of high-yield securities are more vulnerable to real or perceived
    economic changes (such as an economic downturn or a prolonged period of
    rising interest rates), political changes or adverse developments specific
    to the issuer. Adverse economic, political or other developments may be more
    likely to cause an issuer of lower-quality bonds to default on its principal
    and interest obligations.

    *  The market for lower-quality securities is generally less liquid than the
    market for higher-quality securities.

    *  Adverse publicity and investor perceptions, as well as new or proposed
    laws, also may have a greater negative impact on the market for
    lower-quality securities.

    *  Some or all of the fund's income may be subject to the federal
    alternative minimum tax.

    *  Because the fund invests primarily in California municipal securities, it
    will be sensitive to events that affect California's economy. California
    High-Yield Municipal may have a higher level of risk than funds that invest
    in a larger universe of securities.

    *  As with all funds, at any given time the value of your shares may be
    worth more or less than the price you paid for them. As a result, it is
    possible to lose money by investing in the fund.

    *  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.

    In summary, California High-Yield Municipal is intended for investors who
    seek high current income that is exempt from federal and California income
    taxes through a municipal securities fund, and who are willing to accept the
    risks associated with the fund's investment strategy.

    The following table describes the fees and expenses you may pay if you buy
    and hold shares of the fund.

     ANNUAL FUND OPERATING EXPENSES
     (EXPENSES THAT ARE DEDUCTED FROM FUND ASSETS)
         Management Fee                                 0.54%(1)
         Distribution and Service (12b-1) Fees           None
         Other Expenses                                 0.00%(2)
         Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses           0.54%

        (1) Based on expenses incurred during the fund's most recent fiscal
        year. The fund has a stepped fee schedule. As a result, the fund's
        management fee rate generally decreases as fund assets increase.

        (2) Other expenses, which include the fees and expenses of the fund's
        independent trustees and their legal counsel, as well as interest, were
        less than 0.005% for the most recent fiscal year.

           EXAMPLE
             Assuming you . . .
             * invest $10,000 in the fund
             * redeem all of your shares at the end of the periods shown below
             * earn a 5% return each year
             * incur the same operating expenses as shown above
             . . . your cost of investing in the fund would be:

            1 year  3 years  5 years  10 years
              $55    $173      $301     $676

             Of course, actual costs may be higher or lower. Use this example
             to compare the costs of investing in other funds.

CALIFORNIA INSURED TAX-FREE FUND

1. WHAT IS THE FUND'S INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE?

    California Insured Tax-Free seeks safety of principal and high current
    income that is exempt from federal and California income taxes through
    investment in insured California municipal securities.

2. WHAT IS THE FUND'S INVESTMENT STRATEGY?

    The fund managers buy long-term insured debt securities with interest
    payments exempt from federal and California income taxes. Cities, counties
    and other municipalities in California usually issue these securities for
    public projects.

    The fund's investments are insured. This is significant because

    *  the credit risk is less than for funds that invest in long-term debt
    securities without insurance, and

    *  potential income is lower than for funds that invest in long-term debt
    securities without insurance

    A debt security's insurance cannot be cancelled and it guarantees that
    interest and other payments will be made as scheduled.

    The weighted average maturity of the fund is expected to be 10 years or
    longer.

    The fund also may use futures contracts and options to pursue its investment
    objective.

    During unusual market conditions, the fund is permitted to keep a
    significant amount of its assets in cash or cash-equivalents. If it does, it
    may not achieve its investment objective and may generate taxable income.

    Additional information about California Insured Tax-Free's investments is
    available in its annual and semiannual reports. In these reports you will
    find a discussion of the market conditions and investment strategies that
    significantly affected the fund's performance during the most recent fiscal
    period. You may get these reports at no cost by calling us.

3. WHAT ARE THE SIGNIFICANT RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE FUND?

    *  When interest rates change, the fund's share value will be affected.
    Generally, when interest rates rise, the fund's share value will decline.
    The opposite is true when interest rates decline. The interest rate risk for
    California Insured Tax-Free is higher than for funds that have shorter
    weighted average maturities, such as money market and short-term and
    intermediate-term bond funds.

    *  Because the fund invests primarily in California municipal securities, it
    will be sensitive to events that affect California's economy. California
    Insured Tax-Free may have a higher level of risk than funds that invest in a
    larger universe of securities.

    *  As with all funds, at any given time the value of your shares may be
    worth more or less than the price you paid for them. As a result, it is
    possible to lose money by investing in the fund.

    *  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.

    In summary, California Insured Tax-Free is intended for investors who seek
    safety of principal and high current income that is exempt from federal and
    California income taxes through a municipal securities fund, and who are
    willing to accept the risks associated with the fund's investment strategy.
