Supplement dated March 1, 2001 * Prospectus dated January 1, 2001


As of January 1, 2001, American Century Investment Services, Inc. is the sole
distributor of the funds.

The following replaces the section "Distributions" on page 21 of the Investor
Class prospectus.

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 will not be subject to state or federal
income tax on amounts distributed. The distributions generally consist of
dividends and interest received by a fund, as well as CAPITAL GAINS realized by
a fund on the sale of its investment securities.

Money Market Funds

Each money market fund declares distributions from net income daily. These
distributions are paid on the last business day of each month. Distributions are
reinvested automatically in additional shares unless you choose another option.

Except as described in the next paragraph, you will begin to participate in fund
distributions the next business day after your purchase is effective. If you
redeem shares, you will receive the distribution declared for the day you
redeem.

You will begin to participate in fund distributions on the day your instructions
to purchase are received if you

*  notify us of your purchase prior to 11 a.m. Central time AND

*  pay for your purchase by bank wire transfer prior to 3 p.m. Central time on
the same day.

Also, we will wire your redemption proceeds to you by the end of the business
day if you request your redemption before 11 a.m. Central time.

Other Funds

Each fund pays distributions from net income monthly. Each fund generally pays
capital gains distributions, if any, once a year, usually in December. A fund
may make more frequent distributions, if necessary, to comply with Internal
Revenue Code provisions. Distributions are reinvested automatically in
additional shares unless you choose another option.

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 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.

We will reinvest distributions unless you elect to receive them in cash. Please
consult your services guide for further information about distributions and your
options for receiving them.
