     CLASS IS NOT AVAILABLE FOR NEW EMPLOYER-SPONSORED RETIREMENT PLAN ACCOUNTS.

THE FOLLOWING REPLACES THE REDUCTIONS AND WAIVERS OF SALES CHARGES FOR A CLASS
SECTION OF THE PROSPECTUS:

Reductions and Waivers of Sales Charges for A Class

You may qualify for a reduction or waiver of certain sales charges, but you or
your financial professional must provide certain information, including the
account numbers of any accounts to be aggregated, to American Century at the
time of purchase in order to take advantage of such reduction or waiver. If you
hold assets among multiple intermediaries, it is your responsibility to inform
your intermediary and/or American Century at the time of purchase of any
accounts to be aggregated.

You and your immediate family (your spouse and your children under the age of
21) may combine investments in any share class of any American Century fund
(excluding 529 account assets and certain assets in money market accounts) to
reduce your A Class sales charge in the following ways:

ACCOUNT AGGREGATION. Investments made by you and your immediate family may be
aggregated at each account's current market value if made for your own
account(s) and/or certain other accounts, such as:

*  Certain trust accounts

*  Solely controlled business accounts

*  Single-participant retirement plans

*  Endowments or foundations established and controlled by you or an
   immediate family member

For purposes of aggregation, only investments made through individual-level
accounts may be combined. Assets held in multiple participant employer-sponsored
retirement plans may be aggregated at a plan level.

CONCURRENT PURCHASES. You may combine simultaneous purchases in any share class
of any American Century fund to qualify for a reduced A Class sales charge.


- ------
4


RIGHTS OF ACCUMULATION. You may take into account the current value of your
existing holdings, less any commissionable shares in the money market funds, in
any share class of any American Century fund to qualify for a reduced A Class
sales charge.

LETTER OF INTENT. A Letter of Intent allows you to combine all non-money market
fund purchases of any share class of any American Century fund you intend to
make over a 13-month period to determine the applicable sales charge. At your
request, existing holdings may be combined with new purchases and sales charge
amounts may be adjusted for purchases made within 90 days prior to our receipt
of the Letter of Intent. Capital appreciation, capital gains and reinvested
dividends earned during the Letter of Intent period do not apply toward its
completion. A portion of your account will be held in escrow to cover additional
A Class sales charges that will be due if your total investments over the
13-month period do not qualify for the applicable sales charge reduction.

WAIVERS FOR CERTAIN INVESTORS. The sales charge on A Class shares may be waived
for:

*  Purchases by registered representatives and other employees of certain
   financial intermediaries (and their immediate family members) having selling
   agreements with the advisor or distributor

*  Broker-dealer sponsored wrap program accounts and/or fee-based accounts
   maintained for clients of certain financial intermediaries who have entered
   into selling agreements with American Century

*  Present or former officers, directors and employees (and their families)
   of American Century

*  Employer-sponsored retirement plan purchases. For plans under $1 million
   in assets, purchases with sales charges are allowed, but may be subject to
   the retirement plan recordkeeper's policies. Refer to BUYING AND SELLING FUND
   SHARES in the statement of additional information

*  IRA Rollovers from any American Century fund held in an employer-sponsored
   retirement plan

*  Certain other investors as deemed appropriate by American Century

THE FOLLOWING REPLACES THE SECOND TO THE LAST BULLET UNDER THE CDSC WAIVERS
SECTION OF THE PROSPECTUS:

*  IRA Rollovers from any American Century fund held in an employer-sponsored
   retirement plan, for A Class shares only

THE FOLLOWING IS ADDED AS THE LAST PARAGRAPH UNDER THE B CLASS SECTION OF THE
PROSPECTUS:

American Century generally limits purchases of B Class shares to investors whose
aggregate investments in American Century funds are less than $50,000. However,
it is your responsibility to inform your financial intermediary and/or American
Century at the time of purchase of any accounts to be aggregated, including
investments in any share class of any American Century fund (excluding 529
account assets and certain assets in money market accounts) in accounts held by
you and your immediate family members (your spouse and children under the age of
21). Once you reach this limit, you should work with your financial intermediary
to determine what share class is most appropriate for additional purchases.

THE FOLLOWING IS ADDED AS THE LAST PARAGRAPH UNDER THE C CLASS SECTION OF THE
PROSPECTUS:

American Century generally limits purchases of C Class shares to investors whose
aggregate investments in American Century funds are less than $1,000,000.
However, it is your responsibility to inform your financial intermediary and/or
American Century at the time of purchase of any accounts to be aggregated,
including investments in any share class of any American Century fund (excluding
529 account assets and certain assets in money market accounts) in accounts held
by you and your immediate family members (your spouse and children under the age
of 21). Once you reach this limit, you should work with your financial
intermediary to determine what share class is most appropriate for additional
purchases.

THE FOLLOWING REPLACES THE FIRST SENTENCE UNDER THE EXCHANGING SHARES SECTION OF
THE PROSPECTUS:

You may exchange shares of the fund for shares of the same class of another
American Century fund without a sales charge if you meet the following criteria:


- ------
5


THE FOLLOWING REPLACES THE FIRST SENTENCE UNDER THE REDEMPTIONS SECTION OF THE
PROSPECTUS:

If you sell B, C or, in certain cases, A Class shares, you may pay a sales
charge, depending on how long you have held your shares, as described above.

IN THE CORE PLUS, HIGH-YIELD BOND, INFLATION PROTECTION BOND, SELECT BOND AND
SHORT DURATION PROSPECTUSES, THE FOLLOWING REPLACES THE FIRST PARAGRAPH UNDER
THE SERVICE, DISTRIBUTION AND ADMINISTRATIVE FEES SECTION OF THE PROSPECTUS:

Service, Distribution and Administrative Fees

Investment Company Act Rule 12b-1 permits mutual funds that adopt a written plan
to pay certain expenses associated with the distribution of their shares out of
fund assets. Each class, except the Investor Class and Institutional Class,
offered by this prospectus has a 12b-1 plan. The plans provide for the fund to
pay annual fees of 0.25% for A Class, 1.00% for B and C Classes, and 0.50% for R
Class to the distributor for distribution and individual shareholder services,
including past distribution services. The distributor pays all or a portion of
such fees to the financial intermediaries that make the classes available.
Because these fees may be used to pay for services that are not related to
prospective sales of the fund, each class will continue to make payments under
its plan even if it is closed to new investors. Because these fees are paid out
of the fund's assets on an ongoing basis, over time these fees will increase the
cost of your investment and may cost you more than other types of sales charges.
The higher fees for B and C Class shares may cost you more over time than paying
the initial sales charge for A Class shares. For additional information about
the plans and their terms, see MULTIPLE CLASS STRUCTURE in the statement of
additional information.

IN THE CALIFORNIA HIGH-YIELD MUNICIPAL AND HIGH-YIELD MUNICIPAL PROSPECTUSES,
THE FOLLOWING REPLACES THE FIRST PARAGRAPH UNDER THE SERVICE, DISTRIBUTION AND
ADMINISTRATIVE FEES SECTION OF THE PROSPECTUS:

Service, Distribution and Administrative Fees

Investment Company Act Rule 12b-1 permits mutual funds that adopt a written plan
to pay certain expenses associated with the distribution of their shares out of
fund assets. Each class, except the Investor Class, offered by this prospectus
has a 12b-1 plan. The plans provide for the fund to pay annual fees of 0.25% for
A Class and 1.00% for B and C Classes, to the distributor for distribution and
individual shareholder services, including past distribution services. The
distributor pays all or a portion of such fees to the financial intermediaries
that make the classes available. Because these fees may be used to pay for
services that are not related to prospective sales of the fund, each class will
continue to make payments under its plan even if it is closed to new investors.
Because these fees are paid out of the fund's assets on an ongoing basis, over
time these fees will increase the cost of your investment and may cost you more
than other types of sales charges. The higher fees for B and C Class shares may
cost you more over time than paying the initial sales charge for A Class shares.
For additional information about the plans and their terms, see MULTIPLE CLASS
STRUCTURE in the statement of additional information.

THE FOLLOWING CHANGES ARE EFFECTIVE AUGUST 3, 2007.

IN THE HIGH-YIELD MUNICIPAL AND LONG-TERM TAX-FREE PROSPECTUSES, THE FOLLOWING
REPLACES THE SECOND PARAGRAPH OF THE SERVICE, DISTRIBUTION AND ADMINISTRATIVE
FEES SECTION OF THE PROSPECTUS. IN THE CALIFORNIA HIGH-YIELD MUNICIPAL
PROSPECTUS, THE FOLLOWING REPLACES THE FOURTH PARAGRAPH OF THE MULTIPLE CLASS
INFORMATION SECTION OF THE PROSPECTUS:

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
fund's distributor may make payments to intermediaries for various additional
services, other expenses and/or the intermediaries' distribution of the fund 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 fund, 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
fund 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 fund, 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 fund 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 fund by educating them about the fund and helping
defray the costs associated with offering the fund. 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 fund. As a result, the total expense ratio of
the fund will not be affected by any such payments.
