        Working with Integrity...


Code of Ethics

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
         Terms that are in bold italics in the text are defined in Appendix 1.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I.     Purpose of Code.

       The Code of Ethics was developed to guide the personal investment
       activities of American Century employees, officers and directors,
       including members of their immediate family. In doing so, it is intended
       to aid in the elimination and detection of personal securities
       transactions by American Century personnel that might be viewed as
       fraudulent or might conflict with the interests of our client portfolios.
       Primary among such transactions are the misuse for personal benefit of
       client trading information (so-called "front-running"), the
       misappropriation of investment opportunities that may be appropriate for
       investment by client portfolios, and excessive personal trading that may
       affect our ability to provide services to our clients.

       The Directors of American Century's registered investment companies (our
       "Fund Clients"1) who are not "interested persons" (the "Independent
       Directors") are covered under a separate Code applicable only to them.


II.    Why Do We Have a Code of Ethics?

    A. Investors have placed their trust in American Century.

       American Century is entrusted with the assets of our clients for
       investment purposes. This fiduciary relationship requires American
       Century personnel to place the interests of our clients before their own
       and to avoid even the appearance of a conflict of interest. Persons
       subject to this Code must adhere to this general principle as well as
       comply with the Code's specific provisions. This is how we earn and keep
       our clients' trust. To protect this trust, we will hold ourselves to the
       highest ethical standards.

    B. American Century wants to give you flexible investing options.

       Management believes that American Century's own mutual funds and other
       pooled investment vehicles provide a broad range of investment
       alternatives in virtually every segment of the securities market. We
       encourage American Century employees to use these vehicles for their
       personal investments. We do not encourage active trading by our
       employees. We recognize, however, that individual needs differ and that
       there are other attractive investment opportunities. As a result, this
       Code is intended to give you and your family flexibility to invest,
       without jeopardizing relationships with our clients.

       American Century employees are able to undertake personal transactions in
       stocks and other individual securities subject to the terms of this Code
       of Ethics. This Code of Ethics requires preclearance of all such
       transactions by Access, Investment, and Portfolio Persons (so-called
       "covered persons"), places further limitations on personal investments by
       Investment and Portfolio Persons, and requires transaction reporting by
       all employees.


1 See Schedule A for a listing of all of our Fund Clients.




    C. Federal law requires that we have a Code of Ethics

       The Investment Company Act of 1940 and the Investment Advisers Act of
       1940 require that we have safeguards in place to prevent personal
       investment activities that might take inappropriate advantage of our
       fiduciary position. These safeguards are embodied in this Code of
       Ethics.2



III.   Does the Code of Ethics apply to You?

       Yes! All American Century employees and contract personnel must observe
       the principles contained in the Code of Ethics. However, there are
       different requirements for different categories of employees. The
       category in which you have been placed generally depends on your job
       function, although unique circumstances may prompt us to place you in a
       different category. The range of categories is as follows:



     ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
     Fewest Restrictions                                       Most Restrictions
     ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
     ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
     Non-Access Person    Access Person   Investment Person     Portfolio Person
     ---------------------------------------------------------------------------


       The standard profile for each of the categories is described below:

       A.     Portfolio Persons.

              Portfolio Persons include portfolio managers (equity or fixed
              income) and any other person with authority to enter purchase/sale
              orders on behalf of the funds on the firm's equity trade order
              management system.

       B.     Investment Persons.

              Investment Persons are persons who make or participate in making
              recommendations regarding the purchase or sale of securities by
              the client portfolios. Such persons include investment analysts,
              equity traders, research and financial analyst personnel and
              certain client service personnel who work closely with the
              portfolios.

       C.     Access Persons.

              Access Persons are persons who, in connection with their regular
              function and duties, consistently obtain information regarding
              current recommendations with respect to the purchase or sale of
              securities or real-time trading information concerning client
              portfolios. Examples include:

2  Rule 17j-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and Rule 204-2 under the
Investment Advisers Act of 1940 serve as a basis for much of what is contained
in American Century's Code of Ethics.

                                                                        Page 2



            * Persons who are directly involved in the execution, clearance,
              and settlement of purchases and sales of securities (e.g. fund
              accountants);

            * Persons whose function requires them to evaluate trading activity
              on a real time basis (e.g. attorneys, accountants, portfolio
              compliance personnel);

            * Persons who assist in the design and implementation of investment
              management technology systems (e.g. certain I/T personnel);

            * Support staff and supervisors of the above if they are required to
              obtain such information as a part of their regular function and
              duties (e.g. investment manager's administrative assistants and
              their supervisors).

              In addition, you are an Access Person if you are any of the
              following:

            * An officer or "interested" director of our Fund Clients; OR

            * An officer or director of American Century Investment
              Management, Inc.

              Single, infrequent, or inadvertent instances of access to current
              recommendations or real-time trading information or the
              opportunity to obtain such information through casual observance
              or bundled data security access is not sufficient to qualify you
              as an Access Person.

       D.     Non-Access Persons.

              If you are an officer, director, employee or contractor of
              American Century AND you do not fit into any of the above
              categories, you are a Non-Access Person. While your trading is not
              subject to preclearance and other restrictions applicable to
              covered persons, you are still subject to the remaining provisions
              of the Code and are required to provide duplicate trade
              confirmations of your personal securities transactions to American
              Century.3


IV.      Restrictions on Personal Investing Activities.

       A.     Preclearance of Personal Securities Transactions
              [Access, Investment, and Portfolio Persons]

              Preclearance of personal securities transactions allows American
              Century to prevent certain trades that may conflict with client
              trading activities. The nature of securities markets makes it
              impossible for us to perfectly predict those conflicts. As a
              consequence, even trades that are precleared can result in
              potential conflicts between your trades and those effected for
              clients. You are responsible for avoiding such conflicts with any
              client portfolios for which you make investment recommendations.
              You have an obligation to American Century and its clients to
              avoid even a perception of a conflict of interest with respect to
              personal trading activities.

              All covered persons must comply with the following preclearance
              procedures prior to entering into


3 See Reporting Requirements - Duplicate Confirmations for details on
duplicate trade confirmation reporting.

                                                                        Page 3



              - the purchase or sale of a security for your own account or

              - the purchase or sale of a security for an account for which you
                are a beneficial owner4:

              1.  Is the security  a "Code-Exempt Security"?

                  Check Appendix 3 to see if the security is listed as a
                  code-exempt security. If it is, then you may execute the
                  transaction. Otherwise, proceed to the next step.

              2.  Preclear the transaction with the Legal Department's
                  Compliance Group.5

                  There are two ways to do this:

                  a.  Use the "PTRA" routine in the CICS system and enter your
                      request at the Personal Trade System screen.

                  b.  If you do not have access to "PTRA," e-mail your request to
                      "LG-Personal Security Trades"
                      (or "LG-Personal_Security_Trades@americancentury.com," if
                      sending from outside American Century's Lotus Notes system),
                      and provide the following information:

                     * Issuer name;

                     * Ticker symbol or CUSIP number;

                     * Type of security (stock, bond, note, etc.);

                     * Number of shares;

                     * Maximum expected dollar amount of proposed transaction;
                       AND

                     * Nature of transaction (purchase or sale).

              3.  Use the "PTRB" routine in the CICS system to view the status
                  of your trade requests.

              4.  If you receive preclearance for the transaction,6 you have five
                  (5) business days to execute your transaction.  If you do not
                  execute your transaction within five (5) business days, you
                  must repeat the preclearance procedure prior to undertaking
                  the transaction.

              American Century reserves the right to restrict the purchase and
              sale by covered persons of any security at any time. Such
              restrictions are imposed through the use of a Restricted List that
              will cause the Code of Ethics system to deny the approval of
              preclearance to transact in the security. Securities may be
              restricted for a variety of reasons including, without limitation,
              the possession of material non-public information by American
              Century or its employees.


4 See Appendix 2 for an explanation of beneficial ownership.

5 If you are ACIM's Chief Investment Officer, you must receive your preclearance
from the General Counsel or his or her designee.

6 See Appendix 4 for a description of the preclearance process.



                                                                     Page 4



       B.     Additional Trading Restrictions
              [Investment and Portfolio Persons]
              The following additional trading restrictions apply if you are an
              Investment or Portfolio Person:

              1.  Initial Public Offerings.

                  You cannot acquire securities issued in an initial public
                  offering.

              2.  Private Placements.

                  Before you acquire any securities in a private placement, you
                  must obtain approval from ACIM's Chief Investment Officer.7
                  Request for preclearance can be submitted by entering your
                  request in PTRA and accessing the Private Placement screen
                  (PF9 after your initials are entered) or by sending your
                  request to "LG-Personal Security Trades". You may not
                  participate in any consideration of an investment in
                  securities of the private placement issuer for any client
                  portfolios while your preclearance is pending or during any
                  period that you own, or are a beneficial owner of, the
                  privately-placed security.

              3.  Short-Term Trading Profits.

                  You cannot profit from any purchase and sale, or sale and
                  purchase, of the same (or equivalent) securities within sixty
                  (60) calendar days.

       C.     Seven-Day Blackout Period
              [Portfolio Persons]

              If you are a Portfolio Person, you may also not purchase or sell a
              security within seven (7) calendar days before and after it has
              been traded as a part of a client portfolio that you manage.

       D.     Trading on Inside Information
              [All Employees]

              As you are aware, federal law prohibits you from trading based on
              material nonpublic information received from any source. This
              includes any confidential information that may be obtained by
              American Century employees regarding the advisability of
              purchasing or selling specific securities on behalf of clients.
              You are expected to abide by the highest ethical and legal
              standards in conducting your personal securities transactions. For
              more information regarding what to do when you believe you are in
              possession of material non-public information, please consult
              American Century's Insider Trading Policy.

              All covered persons must submit a Quarterly Transactions Report

              a link to a database that will generate a report of the
              transactions for which we have received duplicate trade
              confirmations during the quarter. It is your responsibility to
              review the completeness and accuracy of this report, provide any
              necessary changes, and certify its contents when submitted. The
              Quarterly Transactions Report must contain the following

       D.     Duplicate Confirmations
              [All Employees]

              All American Century employees (including Non-Access Persons) must
              instruct their broker-dealer to send duplicate confirmations of
              all transactions in reportable brokerage accounts to:

                                  American Century Investments
                                  Attention: Compliance
                                  P.O. Box 410141
                                  Kansas City, MO 64141-0141

              Please note that "reportable brokerage accounts" includes both of
              the following:

            * A brokerage account maintained by a person whose trades you must
              report because you are a beneficial owner.

VI.    Can there be any exceptions to the restrictions?
       Yes.  The General Counsel or his or her designee may grant limited
       exemptions to specific provisions of the Code on a case-by-case basis.

       A.     How to Request an Exemption

              E-mail a written request to "LG-Personal Security Trades" (or
              "LG-Personal_Security_Trades@americancentury.com" if sending from
              outside American Century's Lotus Notes system) detailing your
              situation.

       B.     Factors Considered
              In considering your request, the General Counsel or his or her
              designee will grant your exemption request if he or she is
              satisfied that:

            * Your request addresses an undue personal hardship imposed on you
              by the Code of Ethics;

            * Your situation is not contemplated by the Code of Ethics; and

            * Your exemption, if granted, would be consistent with the
              achievement of the objectives of the Code of Ethics.


                                                                   Page 7



       C.     Exemption Reporting

              All exemptions must be reported to the Boards of Directors of our
              Fund Clients at the next regular meeting following the initial
              grant of the exemption. Subsequent grants of an exemption of a
              type previously reported to the Boards may be effected without
              reporting. The Boards of Directors may choose to delegate the task
              of receiving and reviewing reports to a committee comprised of
              Independent Directors.

D.       30 Day Denial Exemption On Sales

              An exemption may be requested when a request to sell a security
              has been denied once a week for a four (4) week timeframe. The
              covered person must be able to verify that they have entered a
              request to sell a security in PTRA at least once a week for four
              (4) weeks. A written request must be e-mailed to "LG-Personal
              Security Trades" to request the exemption. The General Counsel or
              his or her designee will review the request and determine if the
              exemption is warranted. If approval is granted, compliance will
              designate a short trading window during which the sale can take
              place.

E.       Nonvolitional Transaction Exemption

              Certain nonvolitonal purchase and sale transactions shall be
              exempt from the preclearance requirements of the Code. These
              transactions shall include stock splits, stock dividends,
              exchanges and conversions, mandatory tenders, pro rata
              distributions to all holders of a class of securities, gifts,
              inheritances, margin/maintenance calls (where the securities to be
              sold are not directed by the covered person), dividend
              reinvestment plans, and employer sponsored payroll deduction
              plans. These purchase and sale transactions, however, shall not be
              exempt from the Quarterly Transaction Report and Annual Holdings
              Report provisions of the Code.

F.       Blind Trust Exemption

              An exemption from the preclearance and reporting requirements of
              the Code may be requested for securities that are held in a blind
              or quasi-blind trust arrangement. For the exemption to be
              available, you or a member of your immediate family must not have
              authority to advise or direct securities transactions of the
              trust. The request will only be granted once the covered person
              and the trust's investment adviser certify that the covered person
              or members of their immediate family will not advise or direct
              transactions. American Century must receive statements at least
              quarterly for transactions within the trust.



VII.   Confidential Information.

       All information about Clients' securities transactions, actual or
       contemplated, is confidential. You must not disclose, except as required
       by the duties of your employment, securities transactions of Clients,
       actual or contemplated, or the contents of any written or oral
       communication, study, report or opinion concerning any security. This
       does not apply to information which has already been publicly disclosed.


                                                                  Page 8


VIII.  Conflicts of Interest.

       You must receive prior written approval from the General Counsel or his
       or her designee, as appropriate, to do any of the following:

     * Negotiate or enter into any agreement on a Client's behalf with any
       business concern doing or seeking to do business with the Client if you,
       or a person related to you, has a substantial interest in the business
       concern;

     * Enter into an agreement, negotiate or otherwise do business on the
       Client's behalf with a personal friend or a person related to you; OR

     * Serve on the board of directors of, or act as consultant to, any
       publicly traded corporation.

IX.    What happens if you violate the rules in the Code of Ethics? If you
       violate the rules of the Code of Ethics, you may be subject to serious
       penalties. Violations of the Code and proposed sanctions are documented
       by the Code of Ethics Manager and submitted to the Code of Ethics Review
       Committee for review. The Committee consists of representatives of the
       Investment, Trading, Compliance, and Legal Departments of American
       Century. It is responsible for determining the materiality of a violation
       of the Code and appropriate sanctions.

       A.  Materiality of Violation

           In determining the materiality of a violation, the Committee
           considers:

         * Evidence of violation of law;

         * Indicia of fraud, neglect, or indifference to Code provisions;

         * Frequency of repeat violations;

         * Monetary value of the violation in question; and

         * Level of influence of the violator.

B.       Penalty Factors

         In assessing the appropriate penalties, the Committee will consider the
         foregoing in addition to any other factors they deem applicable, such
         as:

       * Extent of harm to client interests;

       * Extent of unjust enrichment;

       * Tenure and prior record of the violator;

       * The degree to which there is a personal benefit from unique knowledge
         obtained through employment with American Century;

       * The level of accurate, honest and timely cooperation from the covered
         person; and

       * Any mitigating circumstances that may exist.


                                                                  Page 9




C.       The penalties which may be imposed include:

      * First non-material violation

         * Warning (notice sent to manager); and

         * Attendance at Code of Ethics training session.

      * Second non-material violation within 12 months

         * Notice sent to manager; and

         * Suspension of trading privileges for up to 90 days.

      * Penalties for material or more frequent non-material violations will be
        determined based on the circumstances.  These penalties could include,
        but are not limited to

        * Suspension of trading privileges;

        * Fine; and/or

        * Suspension or termination of employment.

      In addition, you may be required to surrender to American Century any
      profit realized from any transaction(s) in violation of this Code of
      Ethics.

X.     American Century's Quarterly Report to Fund Directors.

       American Century will prepare a quarterly report to the Board of
       Directors of each Fund Client of any material violation of this Code of
       Ethics.


                                                                      Page 10

 1.    "Beneficial Ownership"

       See "Appendix 2:  What is Beneficial Ownership?".

2.     "Code-Exempt Security"

       A "code-exempt security" is a security in which you may invest without
       preclearing such transactions with American Century. The list of
       code-exempt securities appears in Appendix 3.

3.     "Initial Public Offering"

       "Initial public offering" means an offering of securities for which a
       registration statement has not previously been filed with the SEC and for
       which there is no active public market in the shares.

4.     "Member of Your Immediate Family"

       A "member of your immediate family" means any of the following

       * Your spouse or domestic partner;

       * Your minor children; OR

       * A relative who shares your home

       For the purpose of determining whether any of the foregoing relationships
       exist, a legally adopted child of a person is considered a child of such
       person.

5.     "Private Placement"

       "Private placement" means an offering of securities in which the issuer
       relies on an exemption from the registration provisions of the federal
       securities laws, and usually involves a limited number of sophisticated
       investors and a restriction on resale of the securities.

6.     "Security"

       * Collateral-trust certificate,


                                                            Appendix 1-Page 1

         based on the value thereof),

       * Any put, call, straddle, option, future, or privilege entered into on
         a national securities exchange relating to foreign currency,

       * In general, any interest or instrument commonly known as a
         "security," or

       * Any certificate of interest or participation in, temporary or interim
         certificate for, receipt for, guarantee of, future on or warrant or
         right to subscribe to or purchase, any of the foregoing.


                                                            Appendix 1-Page 2








APPENDIX 2:  WHAT IS "BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP"?

A "beneficial owner" of a security is any person who, directly or indirectly,
through any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship, or otherwise,
has or shares in the opportunity, directly or indirectly, to profit or share in
any profit derived from a purchase or sale of the security.

1.   Are securities held by family members or domestic partners "beneficially
     owned" by me?

     Probably. As a general rule, you are regarded as the beneficial owner of
     securities held in the name of

     * A member of your immediate family OR

     * Any other person IF:

        * You obtain from such securities benefits substantially similar to
          those of ownership. For example, if you receive or benefit from some
          of the income from the securities held by your spouse, you are the
          beneficial owner; OR

        * You can obtain title to the securities now or in the future.

2.   Are securities held by a company I own an interest in also "beneficially
     owned" by me?

     Probably not. Owning the securities of a company does not mean you
     "beneficially own" the securities that the company itself owns. However,
     you will be deemed to "beneficially own" the securities owned by the
     company if:

     * You directly or beneficially own a controlling interest in or otherwise
       control the company; OR

     * The company is merely a medium through which you, members of your
       immediate family, or others in a small group invest or trade in securities
       and the company has no other substantial business.

3.   Are securities held in trust "beneficially owned" by me?

     Maybe. You are deemed to "beneficially own" securities held in trust if any
     of the following is true:

     *    You or a member of your immediate family are a trustee or have a
          vested interest in the income or corpus of the trust OR

     *    You or a member of your immediate family are a settlor or grantor of
          the trust and have the power to revoke the trust without obtaining the
          consent of all the beneficiaries.

     A blind trust exemption from the preclearance and reporting requirements of
     the Code may be requested if you or members or your immediate family do not
     have authority to advise or direct securities transactions of the trust.



                                                              Appendix 2-Page 1



4.     Are securities in pension or retirement plans "beneficially owned" by me?

       Maybe. Beneficial ownership does not include indirect interest by any
       person in portfolio securities held by a pension or retirement plan
       holding securities of an issuer whose employees generally are the
       beneficiaries of the plan.

       However, your participation in a pension or retirement plan is considered
       beneficial ownership of the portfolio securities if you can withdraw and
       trade the securities without withdrawing from the plan or you can direct
       the trading of the securities within the plan (IRAs, 401ks, etc.).

5.     Examples of Beneficial Ownership

       Securities Held by Family Members or Domestic Partners

       Example 1: Tom and Mary are married. Although Mary has an independent
       source of income from a family inheritance and segregates her funds from
       those of her husband, Mary contributes to the maintenance of the family
       home. Tom and Mary have engaged in joint estate planning and have the
       same financial adviser. Since Tom and Mary's resources are clearly
       significantly directed towards their common property, they shall be
       deemed to be the beneficial owners of each other's securities.

       Example 2: Mike's adult son David lives in Mike's home. David is
       self-supporting and contributes to household expenses. Mike is a
       beneficial owner of David's securities.

       Example 3: Joe's mother Margaret lives alone and is financially
       independent. Joe has power of attorney over his mother's estate, pays all
       her bills and manages her investment affairs. Joe borrows freely from
       Margaret without being required to pay back funds with interest, if at
       all. Joe takes out personal loans from Margaret's bank in Margaret's
       name, the interest from such loans being paid from Margaret's account.
       Joe is a significant heir of Margaret's estate. Joe is a beneficial owner
       of Margaret's estate.

       Example 4: Bob and Nancy are engaged. The house they share is still in
       Nancy's name only. They have separate checking accounts with an informal
       understanding that both individuals contribute to the mortgage payments
       and other common expenses. Nancy is the beneficial owner of Bob's
       securities.

       Securities Held by a Company

       Example 5: ABC Company is a holding company with five shareholders owning
       equal shares in the company. Although ABC Company has no business of its
       own, it has several wholly-owned subsidiaries that invest in securities.
       Stan is a shareholder of ABC Company. Stan has a beneficial interest in
       the securities owned by ABC Company's subsidiaries.

       Example 6: XYZ Company is a large manufacturing company with many
       shareholders. Stan is a shareholder of XYZ Company. As a part of its cash
       management function, XYZ Company invests in securities. Neither Stan nor
       any members of his immediate family are employed by XYZ Company. Stan
       does not beneficially own the securities held by XYZ Company.


                                                             Appendix 2-Page 2

      Securities Held in Trust

       Example 7: John is trustee of a trust created for his two minor children.
       When both of John's children reach 21, each shall receive an equal share
       of the corpus of the trust. John is a beneficial owner of any securities
       owned by the trust.

       Example 8: Jane placed securities held by her in a trust for the benefit
       of her church. Jane can revoke the trust during her lifetime. Jane is a
       beneficial owner of any securities owned by the trust.

       Example 9: Jim is trustee of an irrevocable trust for his 21 year-old
       daughter (who does not share his home). The daughter is entitled to the
       income of the trust until she is 25 years old, and is then entitled to
       the corpus. If the daughter dies before reaching 25, Jim is entitled to
       the corpus. Jim is a beneficial owner of any securities owned by the
       trust.

       Example 10: Joan's father (who does not share her home) placed securities
       in an irrevocable trust for Joan's minor children. Neither Joan nor any
       member of her immediate family is the trustee of the trust. Joan is a
       beneficial owner of the securities owned by the trust. She may, however,
       be eligible for the blind trust exemption to the preclearance and
       reporting of the trust securities.



                                                             Appendix 2-Page 3




APPENDIX 3:  CODE-EXEMPT SECURITIES

Because they do not pose a likelihood for abuse, some securities, defined as
code-exempt securities, are exempt from the Code's preclearance and quarterly
reporting requirements. However, confirmations from your service providers are
required in all cases (except mutual funds) and some code-exempt securities must
be disclosed on your Initial and Annual Holdings Reports.

1.     Code-Exempt Securities Not Subject to Disclosure on your Initial and
       Annual Holdings Reports:

       * Mutual funds (open-end funds)

       * Closed-end funds

       * Variable insurance and annuity products

       * Bank Certificates of Deposit

       * U.S. government securities (Treasury notes, etc.)

       * Commercial paper

       * Bankers acceptances

       * High quality short-term debt instruments, including repurchase
         agreements. A "high quality short-term debt instrument" means any
         instrument that has a maturity at issuance of less than 366 days and that
         is rated in one of the two highest rating categories by a nationally
         recognized rating organization.

2.     Code-Exempt Securities Subject to Disclosure on your Initial and Annual
       Holdings Reports:

       * Securities which are acquired through an employer-sponsored automatic
         payroll deduction plan (only the acquisition of the security is exempt,
         NOT the sale)

       * Securities purchased through dividend reinvestment programs (only the
         acquisition of the security is exempt, NOT the sale)

       * Commodity futures contracts for tangible goods (corn, soybeans, wheat,
         etc.) Futures contracts for financial instruments are not Code-exempt.

       * Futures contracts on the following:

          * Standard & Poor's 500 Index; or

          * Standard & Poor's 100 Index.


We may modify this list of securities at any time, please send an e-mail to
"LG-Personal Security Trades" to request the most current list.



                                                            Appendix 3-Page 1



APPENDIX 4: HOW THE PRECLEARANCE PROCESS WORKS


[Text from Apendix 4-Page 2 depicted as flow chart here]








                                                             Appendix 4-Page 1






After your request is entered into our mainframe system, it is then subjected to
the following tests.

Step 1:   Restricted Security List

*  Is the security on the Restricted Security list?

If "YES", the system will send a message to you to DENY the personal trade
request.

If "NO", then your request is subject to Step 2.

Step 2:   De Minimis Transaction Test (This test does not apply to the trade
          requests of Portfolio and Investment Persons.)

*         Is the security issuer's market capitalization greater than $1 billion?

*         Will your proposed transaction, together with your other transactions
          in the security for the current calendar quarter, be less than $10,000?

*         Does the security trade on a national securities exchange or market,
          such as the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) or National Association of
          Securities Dealers Automated Quotation System (NASDAQ)?

If the answer to ALL of these questions is "YES", the system will generate a
message and send it to you approving your proposed transaction.

If the answer to ANY of these questions is "NO", then your request is subject to
Step 3.

Step 3: Open Order Test

*         Is there an open order for that security for any Client?

If "YES", the system will send a message to you to DENY the personal trade
request.

If "NO", then your request is subject to Step 4.

Step 4: Follow List Test

*         Does any account or Fund own the security?

*         Does the security appear on the computerized list of stocks American
          Century is considering to purchase for a Client?

If the answer to BOTH of these questions is "NO", the system will send a message
to you to APPROVE your proposed transaction.

If the answer to EITHER of these questions is "YES", then your request is
subject to Step 5.

Step 5: Present Intentions Test

The system sends a message to our equity trading desk in Kansas City which
identifies the security described in your preclearance request. A trading desk
representative then contacts a representative from each of the portfolio
management teams and asks if any portfolio team is considering buying or selling
the security within the next five (5) business days.

If ALL of the portfolio management teams respond "NO", your request will be
APPROVED.

If ANY of the portfolio management teams respond "YES", your request will be
DENIED.


                                                             Appendix 4-Page 2




Step 6: Chief Investment Officer Requests

The General Counsel or his/her designee must approve any preclearance request by
ACIM's Chief Investment Officer before an APPROVAL message is generated.

The preclearance process can be changed at any time to ensure that the goals of
American Century's Code of Ethics are advanced.
