THE FOLLOWING REPLACES THE THIRD PARAGRAPH IN THE Investing Through a Financial
Intermediary SECTION ON PAGE 19.

Certain financial intermediaries perform recordkeeping and administrative
services for their clients that would otherwise be performed by American
Century's transfer agent. In some circumstances, the advisor will pay such
service providers a fee for performing those services. Also, the advisor and the
funds' distributor may make payments to intermediaries for various
additional services, other expenses and/or the intermediaries' distribution of
the funds out of their profits or other available sources. Such payments may be
made for one or more of the following: (1) distribution, which may include
expenses incurred by intermediaries for their sales activities with respect to
the funds, such as preparing, printing and distributing sales literature and
advertising materials and compensating registered representatives or other
employees of such financial intermediaries for their sales activities, as well
as the opportunity for the funds to be made available by such intermediaries;
(2) shareholder services, such as providing individual and custom investment
advisory services to clients of the financial intermediaries; and (3) marketing
and promotional services, including business planning assistance, educating
personnel about the funds, and sponsorship of sales meetings, which may include
covering costs of providing speakers, meals and other entertainment. The
distributor may sponsor seminars and conferences designed to educate
intermediaries about the funds and may cover the expenses associated with
attendance at such meetings, including travel costs. These payments and
activities are intended to provide an incentive to intermediaries to sell the
funds by educating them about the funds and helping defray the costs associated
with offering the funds. The amount of any payments described by this paragraph
is determined by the advisor or the distributor, and all such amounts are paid
out of the available assets of the advisor and distributor, and not by you or
the funds. As a result, the total expense ratio of the funds will not be
affected by any such payments.
