President’s Letter

Dear Investor:

Thank you for reviewing this annual report for the period ended August 31, 2016. It provides investment performance and portfolio information for the reporting period, plus longer-term historical performance data.

Annual reports remain important vehicles for conveying information about fund returns, including market factors that affected performance during the reporting period. For additional, updated investment and market insights, we encourage you to visit our website, americancentury.com.

Municipal Bonds (Munis) Generally Extended Their Solid Performance

Key conditions described in our semiannual report letter extended for another six months. Widespread concerns about global economic growth sparked financial market volatility, followed by monetary policy reactions from central banks. The primary catalyst in 2015 was China, where slowing economic growth and currency devaluations sent shock waves through the global markets. These factors re-emerged in January and early February 2016, triggering sell-offs in riskier assets such as stocks and high-yield bonds and encouraging central banks in Japan and Europe to cut interest rates and/or extend their bond-buying (quantitative easing, QE) programs. More QE came after Brexit, the U.K.’s vote to exit the European Union. Monetary policy expansion produced negative interest rates in Japan and Europe, and lowered longer-maturity bond yields globally.

In this bond-friendly environment, munis generally continued to perform well. The broad muni market benefited from its comparatively high overall credit quality, despite defaults in Puerto Rico and financial concerns facing Illinois and New Jersey. We continue to view these as isolated incidents running counter to overall muni credit quality trends. Also, as government bond yields fell globally, after-tax muni yields looked attractive, especially for investors in top tax brackets.

After 12 straight months of positive performance for the broad muni market, we’re positioning muni portfolios for increased volatility (and the possibility of lower returns) after heavy demand compressed the yield differences (spreads) between shorter- and longer-maturity bonds, and higher- and lower-quality bonds. Spreads narrowed to an extent in August 2016 that would indicate a greater chance of widening than narrowing, given the uncertainties ahead, including central bank reviews of their QE programs, the Federal Reserve’s desire to raise interest rates, the fallout from Brexit, and the U.S. presidential election. We appreciate your continued trust in us during this challenging period.

Sincerely,

Portfolio Commentary

Portfolio Managers: Joseph Gotelli, Alan Kruss, and Steven Permut


Performance Summary

California Long-Term Tax-Free returned 7.62%* for the 12 months ended August 31, 2016, outperforming the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index, which returned 6.88%. Fund returns reflect operating expenses, while index returns do not.

The fund’s absolute return for the reporting period reflected the positive overall performance of municipal bonds (munis) and California and longer-maturity munis in particular. The muni market generally rallied, posting a positive total return in each of the 12 months and outperforming the U.S. Treasury market and the broad taxable investment-grade U.S. fixed-income market for the entire period. In addition to benefiting from a favorable backdrop for U.S. fixed-income securities—which included declining interest rates and muted inflationmunis advanced on stable credit trends, positive flows, and other supportive supply/demand factors.

Favorable Fixed-Income Backdrop, Muni Market Dynamics Fueled Gains

Investor concerns about global growth, commodity prices, and central bank monetary decisions generated volatility during the 12-month period. The U.S. economy continued to exhibit modest growth, particularly compared with the rest of the developed world, but the U.S. Federal Reserve (the Fed) remained focused on the sluggish global landscape and its potential risks to the U.S. economy. This triggered ongoing investor speculation regarding the timing and magnitude of Fed interest rate “normalization” and contributed to the volatile climate. However, the Fed implemented only one rate hike during the perioda 25 basis point increase (1 basis point equals 0.01%) on December 16, 2015, which pushed the range for the federal funds rate target to 0.25%-0.50%.

Despite expectations for additional rate hikes in 2016, the Fed cited concerns about the health of the global economy, the uncertainty triggered by the U.K. vote in late June to exit the European Union (Brexit), and weaker-than-expected U.S. economic growth as reasons to pursue a “lower for longer” rate strategy. Meanwhile, central banks in Europe, Japan, and China continued to implement aggressive stimulus programs in response to weak growth rates and deflation threats in those regions. This action increased the relative attractiveness of the U.S. bond market, where yields were generally higher.

This environment led to positive performance for U.S. Treasuries and other U.S. bond market sectors. Munis generally tracked the U.S. Treasury market, but factors specific to the municipal market helped munis outperform. In particular, supply and demand dynamics remained favorable and supported gains. Overall supply increased only slightly, while demand for munis remained robust due to the tax advantages and perceived “safe-haven” munis offered investors. As of August 31, 2016, muni funds experienced 48 consecutive weeks of positive flows, according to Lipper Inc.

Overall, all major sectors of the muni bond market posted positive returns for the 12-month period, according to Bloomberg Barclays. Reflecting investor demand for yield, longer-maturity and lower-quality munis generally performed better than shorter-maturity and higher-quality securities. In addition, revenue bonds outperformed general obligation (GO) bonds.

State and National Fiscal, Credit Backdrops Were Generally Positive

State and local finances in California and across the U.S. remained relatively healthy, even as tax revenue growth slowed due to stock market volatility. Spending restraint enabled most states, including California, to maintain stable credit profiles. Furthermore, California’s job growth outpaced the national average, and the state’s housing market continued to improve. In addition, state officials reported $7.3 billion in reserves at the end of fiscal year 2016 and projected reserves would climb to $8.5 billion by the end of fiscal year 2017. Also, in August 2016, Fitch Ratings upgraded California’s bond credit rating from “A+” to “AA-.”

From a national credit rating perspective, downgrades outpaced upgrades in the second calendar quarter of 2016, largely due to troubled credits in Illinois and Michigan. Overall, the national muni default rate remained low. We continue to believe it is unlikely any states will default, but special circumstances may continue to pressure isolated state, local, and commonwealth credit ratings, such as those in Puerto Rico, Illinois, New Jersey, and Michigan.

Longer Maturity, Longer Duration Drove Outperformance

Our maturity strategy primarily accounted for the portfolio’s outperformance versus the Bloomberg Barclays index. In particular, we maintained a slight flattening bias with respect to the portfolio’s yield-curve positioning, holding more exposure to longer-maturity munis than the index. This strategy aided relative performance as yields on longer-maturity securities declined more than yields on shorter-maturity munis, causing the muni yield curve to flatten. The portfolio’s duration (price sensitivity to interest rate changes), which was slightly longer than the index’s, also lifted performance in this yield environment.

Elsewhere, sector and security selection produced mixed results relative to the index. Overall, our preference for revenue bonds over GO bonds aided results. Within the revenue sector, an overweight position relative to the index in lease revenue bonds aided results, while an underweight position in industrial development revenue bonds detracted. Meanwhile, security selection among special tax and water and sewer bonds aided relative results, while our selections among lease revenue and local GO bonds detracted.

Focus on Yield in Range-Bound Market

We believe U.S. economic fundamentals support slightly higher interest rates. But low inflation, weaker global economic fundamentals, low interest rates in Europe and Japan, weak commodity prices, a strong U.S. dollar, and geopolitical uncertainty (particularly in the wake of the Brexit vote) will, in our view, likely keep Fed action slow and data dependent, and keep rates range-bound in the near term. For this reason, we are comfortable maintaining a slightly longer-than-average duration and a slight bias toward lower-quality creditstwo strategies that have helped enhance the portfolio’s yield. We also believe volatility may escalate ahead of the November U.S. presidential election, and such volatility may cause credit spreads (the yield differential between high-quality and low-quality munis of similar maturity) to widen. This potential backdrop may present compelling buying opportunities among lower-quality credits. In this environment, we believe fundamental credit research, active management, and security selection will become increasingly important.

Shareholder Fee Example 

Fund shareholders may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and redemption/exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service (12b-1) fees; and other fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in your fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing cost of investing in other mutual funds.

The example is based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from March 1, 2016 to August 31, 2016.

Actual Expenses

The table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses for each class. You may use the information, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. First, identify the share class you own. Then simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

If you hold Investor Class shares of any American Century Investments fund, or Institutional Class shares of the American Century Diversified Bond Fund, in an American Century Investments account (i.e., not a financial intermediary or retirement plan account), American Century Investments may charge you a $12.50 semiannual account maintenance fee if the value of those shares is less than $10,000. We will redeem shares automatically in one of your accounts to pay the $12.50 fee. In determining your total eligible investment amount, we will include your investments in all personal accounts (including American Century Investments Brokerage accounts) registered under your Social Security number. Personal accounts include individual accounts, joint accounts, UGMA/UTMA accounts, personal trusts, Coverdell Education Savings Accounts and IRAs (including traditional, Roth, Rollover, SEP-, SARSEP- and SIMPLE-IRAs), and certain other retirement accounts. If you have only business, business retirement, employer-sponsored or American Century Investments Brokerage accounts, you are currently not subject to this fee. If you are subject to the Account Maintenance Fee, your account value could be reduced by the fee amount.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The table also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual expense ratio of each class of your fund and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the actual return of a fund’s share class. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption/exchange fees. Therefore, the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Notes to Financial Statements
 
AUGUST 31, 2016

1. Organization

American Century California Tax-Free and Municipal Funds (the trust) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company and is organized as a Massachusetts business trust. California Long-Term Tax-Free Fund (the fund) is one fund in a series issued by the trust. The fund’s investment objective is to seek safety of principal and high current income that is exempt from federal and California income taxes.

The fund offers the Investor Class, the Institutional Class, the A Class and the C Class. The A Class may incur an initial sales charge. The A Class and C Class may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge. The share classes differ principally in their respective sales charges and distribution and shareholder servicing expenses and arrangements. The Institutional Class is made available to institutional shareholders or through financial intermediaries whose clients do not require the same level of shareholder and administrative services as shareholders of other classes. As a result, the Institutional Class is charged a lower unified management fee.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the fund in preparation of its financial statements. The fund is an investment company and follows accounting and reporting guidance in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. This may require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Management evaluated the impact of events or transactions occurring through the date the financial statements were issued that would merit recognition or disclosure.

Investment Valuations — The fund determines the fair value of its investments and computes its net asset value per share at the close of regular trading (usually 4 p.m. Eastern time) on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on each day the NYSE is open. The Board of Trustees has adopted valuation policies and procedures to guide the investment advisor in the fund’s investment valuation process and to provide methodologies for the oversight of the fund’s pricing function.

Fixed income securities are valued at the evaluated mean as provided by independent pricing services or at the mean of the most recent bid and asked prices as provided by investment dealers. Municipal securities are valued using market models that consider trade data, quotations from dealers and active market makers, relevant yield curve and spread data, creditworthiness, trade data or market information on comparable securities, and other relevant security specific information.
 
Open-end management investment companies are valued at the reported net asset value per share. Exchange-traded futures contracts are valued at the settlement price as provided by the appropriate clearing corporation.

If the fund determines that the market price for an investment is not readily available or the valuation methods mentioned above do not reflect an investment’s fair value, such investment is valued as determined in good faith by the Board of Trustees or its delegate, in accordance with policies and procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. In its determination of fair value, the fund may review several factors including, but not limited to, market information regarding the specific investment or comparable investments and correlation with other investment types, futures indices or general market indicators. Circumstances that may cause the fund to use these procedures to value an investment include, but are not limited to: an investment has been declared in default or is distressed; trading in a security has been suspended during the trading day or a security is not actively trading on its principal exchange; prices received from a regular pricing source are deemed unreliable; or there is a foreign market holiday and no trading occurred.
 
The fund monitors for significant events occurring after the close of an investment’s primary exchange but before the fund’s net asset value per share is determined. Significant events may include, but are not limited to: corporate announcements and transactions; governmental action and political unrest that could impact a specific investment or an investment sector; or armed conflicts, natural disasters and similar events that could affect investments in a specific country or region.
 

21



Security Transactions — Security transactions are accounted for as of the trade date. Net realized gains and losses are determined on the identified cost basis, which is also used for federal income tax purposes.
 
Investment Income — Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis and includes accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums.

Segregated Assets — In accordance with the 1940 Act, the fund segregates assets on its books and records to cover certain types of investments, including, but not limited to, futures contracts and when-issued securities. American Century Investment Management, Inc. (ACIM) (the investment advisor) monitors, on a daily basis, the securities segregated to ensure the fund designates a sufficient amount of liquid assets, marked-to-market daily. The fund may also receive assets or be required to pledge assets at the custodian bank or with a broker for margin requirements on futures contracts.

Income Tax Status — It is the fund’s policy to distribute substantially all net investment income and net realized gains to shareholders and to otherwise qualify as a regulated investment company under provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, no provision has been made for income taxes. The fund files U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S. tax returns as applicable. The fund's tax returns are subject to examination by the relevant taxing authority until expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, which is generally three years from the date of filing but can be longer in certain jurisdictions. At this time, management believes there are no uncertain tax positions which, based on their technical merit, would not be sustained upon examination and for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.

Multiple Class — All shares of the fund represent an equal pro rata interest in the net assets of the class to which such shares belong, and have identical voting, dividend, liquidation and other rights and the same terms and conditions, except for class specific expenses and exclusive rights to vote on matters affecting only individual classes. Income, non-class specific expenses, and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses of the fund are allocated to each class of shares based on their relative net assets.

Distributions to Shareholders — Distributions from net investment income, if any, are declared daily and paid monthly. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are generally declared and paid annually.
 
Indemnifications — Under the trust’s organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the fund. In addition, in the normal course of business, the fund enters into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against a fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered by management to be remote.

3. Fees and Transactions with Related Parties

Certain officers and trustees of the trust are also officers and/or directors of American Century Companies, Inc. (ACC). The trust's investment advisor, ACIM, the trust's distributor, American Century Investment Services, Inc. (ACIS), and the trust's transfer agent, American Century Services, LLC, are wholly owned, directly or indirectly, by ACC.
 
Management Fees — The trust has entered into a management agreement with ACIM, under which ACIM provides the fund with investment advisory and management services in exchange for a single, unified management fee (the fee) per class. The agreement provides that all expenses of managing and operating the fund, except distribution and service fees, brokerage expenses, taxes, interest, fees and expenses of the independent trustees (including legal counsel fees), and extraordinary expenses, will be paid by ACIM. The fee is computed and accrued daily based on each class’s daily net assets and paid monthly in arrears. The fee consists of (1) an Investment Category Fee based on the daily net assets of the fund and certain other accounts managed by the investment advisor that are in the same broad investment category as the fund and (2) a Complex Fee based on the assets of all the funds in the American Century Investments family of funds. The rates for the Investment Category Fee range from 0.1625% to 0.2800%. The rates for the Complex Fee range from 0.2500% to 0.3100% for the Investor Class, A Class and C Class. The rates for the Complex Fee range from 0.0500% to 0.1100% for the Institutional Class. The effective annual management fee for each class for the year ended August 31, 2016 was 0.46% for the Investor Class, A Class and C Class and 0.26% for the Institutional Class.
 
Distribution and Service Fees — The Board of Trustees has adopted a separate Master Distribution and Individual Shareholder Services Plan for each of the A Class and C Class (collectively the plans), pursuant to Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act. The plans provide that the A Class will pay ACIS an annual distribution and

22



service fee of 0.25%. The plans provide that the C Class will pay ACIS an annual distribution and service fee of 1.00%, of which 0.25% is paid for individual shareholder services and 0.75% is paid for distribution services. The fees are computed and accrued daily based on each class’s daily net assets and paid monthly in arrears. The fees are used to pay financial intermediaries for distribution and individual shareholder services. Fees incurred under the plans during the year ended August 31, 2016 are detailed in the Statement of Operations.

Trustees’ Fees and Expenses — The Board of Trustees is responsible for overseeing the investment advisor’s management and operations of the fund. The trustees receive detailed information about the fund and its investment advisor regularly throughout the year, and meet at least quarterly with management of the investment advisor to review reports about fund operations. The fund’s officers do not receive compensation from the fund.

Interfund Transactions — The fund may enter into security transactions with other American Century Investments funds and other client accounts of the investment advisor, in accordance with the 1940 Act rules and procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. The rules and procedures require, among other things, that these transactions be effected at the independent current market price of the security. During the period, the interfund purchases and sales were $23,180,438 and $1,700,000, respectively. The interfund transactions had no effect on the Statement of Operations in net realized gain (loss) on investment transactions.

4. Investment Transactions

Purchases and sales of investment securities, excluding short-term investments, for the year ended August 31, 2016 were $93,309,637 and $83,244,571, respectively.

6. Fair Value Measurements

The fund’s investments valuation process is based on several considerations and may use multiple inputs to determine the fair value of the investments held by the fund. In conformity with accounting principles generally

23



accepted in the United States of America, the inputs used to determine a valuation are classified into three broad levels.

Level 1 valuation inputs consist of unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical investments.

Level 2 valuation inputs consist of direct or indirect observable market data (including quoted prices for comparable investments, evaluations of subsequent market events, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.). These inputs also consist of quoted prices for identical investments initially expressed in local currencies that are adjusted through translation into U.S. dollars.

Level 3 valuation inputs consist of unobservable data (including a fund’s own assumptions).

The level classification is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair valuation measurement. The valuation inputs are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in these securities or other financial instruments. There were no significant transfers between levels during the period.

As of period end, the fund’s investment securities were classified as Level 2. The Schedule of Investments provides additional information on the fund’s portfolio holdings.

7. Derivative Instruments

Interest Rate Risk — The fund is subject to interest rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The value of bonds generally declines as interest rates rise. A fund may enter into futures contracts based on a bond index or a specific underlying security. A fund may purchase futures contracts to gain exposure to increases in market value or sell futures contracts to protect against a decline in market value. Upon entering into a futures contract, a fund will segregate cash, cash equivalents or other appropriate liquid securities on its records in amounts sufficient to meet requirements. Subsequent payments (variation margin) are made or received daily, in cash, by a fund. The variation margin is equal to the daily change in the contract value and is recorded as unrealized gains and losses. A fund recognizes a realized gain or loss when the futures contract is closed or expires. Net realized and unrealized gains or losses occurring during the holding period of futures contracts are a component of net realized gain (loss) on futures contract transactions and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on futures contracts, respectively. One of the risks of entering into futures contracts is the possibility that the change in value of the contract may not correlate with the changes in value of the underlying securities. During the period, the fund participated in interest rate risk derivative instruments.
 
At period end, the fund did not have any derivative instruments disclosed on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. For the year ended August 31, 2016, the effect of interest rate risk derivative instruments on the Statement of Operations was $20,910 in net realized gain (loss) on futures contract transactions and $(16,875) in change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on futures contracts.

8. Risk Factors

The fund focuses its investments in a single state and therefore may have more exposure to credit risk related to the state of California than a fund with a broader geographical diversification.

9. Federal Tax Information

The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended August 31, 2016 and August 31, 2015 were as follows:
 
2016
2015
Distributions Paid From
 
 
Exempt income
$
11,456,539

$
11,664,699

Taxable ordinary income

$
783

Long-term capital gains



The book-basis character of distributions made during the year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. These differences reflect the differing character of certain income items and net realized gains and losses for financial statement and tax purposes, and may result in reclassification among certain capital accounts on the financial statements.

24



As of August 31, 2016, the federal tax cost of investments and the components of distributable earnings on a tax-basis were as follows:
Federal tax cost of investments
$
319,111,290

Gross tax appreciation of investments
$
43,168,366

Gross tax depreciation of investments
(6,891
)
Net tax appreciation (depreciation) of investments
$
43,161,475

Undistributed exempt income
$
639

Accumulated long-term gains
$
1,301,742


The cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was the same as the cost for financial reporting purposes.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Trustees of the American Century California Tax-Free and Municipal Funds and Shareholders of the California Long-Term Tax-Free Fund:

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the California Long-Term Tax-Free Fund (one of the four funds in the American Century California Tax-Free and Municipal Funds, hereafter referred to as the "Fund") at August 31, 2016, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at August 31, 2016 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Management

Board of Trustees
The individuals listed below serve as trustees of the funds. Each trustee will continue to serve in this capacity until death, retirement, resignation or removal from office. The board has adopted a mandatory retirement age for trustees who are not “interested persons,” as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act (independent trustees). Independent trustees shall retire on December 31 of the year in which they reach their 75th birthday; provided, however, that on or after January 1, 2022, independent trustees shall retire on December 31 of the year in which they reach their 76th birthday.
Mr. Thomas is an “interested person” because he currently serves as President and Chief Executive Officer of American Century Companies, Inc. (ACC), the parent company of American Century Investment Management, Inc. (ACIM or the advisor). The other trustees (more than three-fourths of the total number) are independent. They are not employees, directors or officers of, and have no financial interest in, ACC or any of its wholly owned, direct or indirect, subsidiaries, including ACIM, American Century Investment Services, Inc. (ACIS) and American Century Services, LLC (ACS), and they do not have any other affiliations, positions or relationships that would cause them to be considered “interested persons” under the Investment Company Act. The trustees serve in this capacity for eight (in the case of Mr. Thomas, 15) registered investment companies in the American Century Investments family of funds.
The following table presents additional information about the trustees. The mailing address for each trustee other than Mr. Thomas is 1665 Charleston Road, Mountain View, California 94043. The mailing address for Mr. Thomas is 4500 Main Street, Kansas City, Missouri 64111.

Approval of Management Agreement

At a meeting held on June 14, 2016, the Fund’s Board of Trustees (the "Board") unanimously approved the renewal of the management agreement pursuant to which American Century Investment Management, Inc. (the “Advisor”) acts as the investment advisor for the Fund. Under Section 15(c) of the Investment Company Act, contracts for investment advisory services are required to be reviewed, evaluated, and approved by a majority of a fund’s directors/trustees, including a majority of the independent Trustees, each year. The Board regards this annual evaluation and renewal as one of its most important responsibilities.

The independent Trustees have memorialized a statement regarding the relationship between their ongoing obligations to oversee and evaluate the performance of the Advisor and their annual consideration of renewal of the management agreement. In that statement, the independent Trustees noted that their assessment of the Advisor’s performance is an ongoing process that takes place over the entire year and is informed by all of the extensive information that the Board and its committees receive and consider over time. This information, together with the additional materials provided specifically in connection with the review, are central to the Board’s assessment of the Advisor’s performance and its determination whether to renew the Fund’s management agreement.

Prior to its consideration of the renewal of the management agreement, the Board requested and reviewed extensive data and analysis relating to the proposed renewal. This information and analysis was compiled by the Advisor and certain independent providers of evaluation data concerning the Fund and the services provided to the Fund by the Advisor.

In connection with its consideration of the renewal of the management agreement, the Board’s review and evaluation of the services provided by the Advisor included, but was not limited to, the following:

the nature, extent, and quality of investment management, shareholder services, and other services provided by the Advisor to the Fund;
the wide range of other programs and services the Advisor provides to the Fund and its shareholders on a routine and non-routine basis;
the investment performance of the Fund, including data comparing the Fund’s performance to appropriate benchmarks and/or a peer group of other mutual funds with similar investment objectives and strategies;
the cost of owning the Fund compared to the cost of owning similar funds;
the Advisor’s compliance policies, procedures, and regulatory experience;
financial data showing the cost of services provided to the Fund, the profitability of the Fund to the Advisor, and the overall profitability of the Advisor;
possible economies of scale associated with the Advisor’s management of the Fund and other accounts under its management;
data comparing services provided and charges to other investment management clients of the Advisor;
acquired fund fees and expenses;
payments by the Fund and the Advisor to financial intermediaries whose clients are investors in the Fund; and
any collateral benefits derived by the Advisor from the management of the Fund.

In keeping with its practice, the Board held two in-person meetings to review and discuss the information provided in response to their request. The independent Trustees also had the benefit of the advice of their independent counsel throughout the process.


32



Factors Considered

The Trustees considered all of the information provided by the Advisor, the independent data providers, and the independent Trustees’ independent counsel in connection with the approval. They determined that the information was sufficient for them to evaluate the management agreement for the Fund. In connection with their review, the Trustees did not identify any single factor as being all-important or controlling and each Trustee may have attributed different levels of importance to different factors. In deciding to renew the management agreement, the Board based its decision on a number of factors, including the following:

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services - Generally. Under the management agreement, the Advisor is responsible for providing or arranging for all services necessary for the operation of the Fund. The Board noted that under the management agreement, the Advisor provides or arranges at its own expense a wide variety of services including:

constructing and designing the Fund
portfolio research and security selection
initial capitalization/funding
securities trading
Fund administration
custody of Fund assets
daily valuation of the Fund’s portfolio
shareholder servicing and transfer agency, including shareholder confirmations, recordkeeping, and communications
legal services (except the independent Trustees’ counsel)
regulatory and portfolio compliance
financial reporting
marketing and distribution (except amounts paid by the Fund under Rule 12b-1 plans)

The Board noted that many of these services have expanded over time in terms of both quantity and complexity in response to shareholder demands, competition in the industry, changing distribution channels, and the changing regulatory environment.

Investment Management, Shareholder, and Other Services. The nature of the investment management services provided to the Fund is quite complex and allows Fund shareholders access to professional money management, instant diversification of their investments within an asset class, the opportunity to easily diversify among asset classes by investing in or exchanging among various American Century Investments funds, and liquidity. In evaluating investment performance, the Board expects the Advisor to manage the Fund in accordance with its investment objectives and approved strategies. Further, the Trustees recognize that the Advisor has an obligation to seek the best execution of fund trades. In providing these services, the Advisor utilizes teams of investment professionals (portfolio managers, analysts, research assistants, and securities traders) who require extensive information technology, research, training, compliance, and other systems to conduct their business. The Board, directly and through its Portfolio Committee, regularly reviews investment performance information for the Fund, together with comparative information for appropriate benchmarks and/or peer groups of similarly-managed funds, over different time horizons. The Trustees also review detailed performance information during the management agreement approval process. If performance concerns are identified, the Fund receives special reviews until performance improves, during which the Board discusses with the Advisor the reasons for such results (e.g., market conditions, security selection) and any efforts being undertaken to improve performance. The Fund’s performance was above its benchmark for the one-, three-, and five-year periods and slightly below its benchmark for the ten-year period reviewed by the Board. The Board found the investment management services provided by the Advisor to the Fund to be satisfactory and consistent with the management agreement.


33



Under the management agreement, the Advisor provides the Fund with a comprehensive package of transfer agency, shareholder, and other services. The Board, directly and through various committees of the Board, regularly reviews reports and evaluations of such services at its regular meetings. These reports include, but are not limited to, information regarding the operational efficiency and accuracy of the shareholder and transfer agency services provided, staffing levels, shareholder satisfaction (as measured by external as well as internal sources), technology support, new products and services offered to Fund shareholders, securities trading activities, portfolio valuation services, auditing services, and legal and operational compliance activities. Certain aspects of shareholder and transfer agency service level efficiency and the quality of securities trading activities are measured by independent third party providers and are presented in comparison to other fund groups not managed by the Advisor.

The Board found the services provided by the Advisor to the Fund under the management agreement to be competitive and of high quality.

Costs of Services and Profitability. The Advisor provides detailed information concerning its cost of providing various services to the Fund, its profitability in managing the Fund, its overall profitability, and its financial condition. The Trustees have reviewed with the Advisor the methodology used to prepare this financial information. This information is considered in evaluating the Advisor’s financial condition, its ability to continue to provide services under the management agreement, and the reasonableness of the current management fee. The Board concluded that the Advisor’s profits were reasonable in light of the services provided to the Fund.

Economies of Scale. The Board also reviewed information provided by the Advisor regarding the possible existence of economies of scale in connection with the management of the Fund. The Board concluded that economies of scale are difficult to measure and predict with precision, especially on a fund-by-fund basis. The Board concluded that the Advisor is appropriately sharing economies of scale through its competitive fee structure, offering competitive fees from fund inception, and through reinvestment in its business to provide shareholders enhanced and expanded services.

Comparison to Other Funds’ Fees. The management agreement provides that the Fund pays the Advisor a single, all-inclusive (or unified) management fee for providing all services necessary for the management and operation of the Fund, other than brokerage expenses, expenses attributable to short sales, taxes, interest, extraordinary expenses, the fees and expenses of the Fund’s independent Trustees (including their independent legal counsel), and expenses incurred in connection with the provision of shareholder services and distribution services under a plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Under the unified fee structure, the Advisor is responsible for providing all investment advisory, custody, audit, administrative, compliance, recordkeeping, marketing, and shareholder services, or arranging and supervising third parties to provide such services. By contrast, most other funds are charged a variety of fees, including an investment advisory fee, a transfer agency fee, an administrative fee, distribution charges, and other expenses. Other than their investment advisory fees and any applicable Rule 12b-1 fees, all other components of the total fees charged by these other funds may be increased without shareholder approval. The Board believes the unified fee structure is a benefit to Fund shareholders because it clearly discloses to shareholders the cost of owning Fund shares, and, since the unified fee cannot be increased without a vote of Fund shareholders, it shifts to the Advisor the risk of increased costs of operating the Fund and provides a direct incentive to minimize administrative inefficiencies. Part of the Board’s analysis of fee levels involves reviewing certain evaluative data compiled by an independent provider and comparing the Fund’s unified fee to the total expense ratio of peer funds. The unified fee charged to shareholders of the Fund was below the median of the total expense ratios of the Fund’s peer universe. The Board concluded that the management fee paid by the Fund to the Advisor under the management agreement is reasonable in light of the services provided to the Fund.


34



Comparison to Fees and Services Provided to Other Clients of the Advisor. The Board also requested and received information from the Advisor concerning the nature of the services, fees, costs, and profitability of its advisory services to advisory clients other than the Fund. They observed that these varying types of client accounts require different services and involve different regulatory and entrepreneurial risks than the management of the Fund. The Board analyzed this information and concluded that the fees charged and services provided to the Fund were reasonable by comparison.

Payments to Intermediaries. The Trustees also requested and received a description of payments made to intermediaries by the Fund and the Advisor. These payments include various payments made by the Fund or the Advisor to different types of intermediaries and recordkeepers for distribution and service activities provided for the Fund.

Collateral or “Fall-Out” Benefits Derived by the Advisor. The Board considered the existence of collateral benefits the Advisor may receive as a result of its relationship with the Fund. The Board noted that the Advisor’s primary business is managing mutual funds and it generally does not use fund or shareholder information to generate profits in other lines of business, and therefore does not derive any significant collateral benefits from them. The Board noted that the Advisor receives proprietary research from broker-dealers that execute fund portfolio transactions. The Board also determined that the Advisor is able to provide investment management services to certain clients other than the Fund, at least in part, due to its existing infrastructure built to serve the fund complex. The Board concluded, however, that the assets of those other clients are not material to the analysis and, where applicable, may be included with the assets of the Fund to determine breakpoints in the management fee schedule.

Existing Relationship. The Board also considered whether there was any reason for not continuing the existing arrangement with the Advisor. In this regard, the Board was mindful of the potential disruptions of the Fund’s operations and various risks, uncertainties, and other effects that could occur as a result of a decision not to continue such relationship. In particular, the Board recognized that most shareholders have invested in the Fund on the strength of the Advisor’s industry standing and reputation and in the expectation that the Advisor will have a continuing role in providing advisory services to the Fund.

Conclusion of the Trustees. As a result of this process, the Board, including all of the independent Trustees and assisted by the advice of independent legal counsel, taking into account all of the factors discussed above and the information provided by the Advisor and others in connection with its review and throughout the year, concluded that the management agreement between the Fund and the Advisor is fair and reasonable in light of the services provided and should be renewed.

President’s Letter

jthomasrev0514.jpg Jonathan Thomas

Dear Investor:

Thank you for reviewing this annual report for the period ended August 31, 2016. It provides investment performance and portfolio information for the reporting period, plus longer-term historical performance data.

Annual reports remain important vehicles for conveying information about fund returns, including market factors that affected performance during the reporting period. For additional, updated investment and market insights, we encourage you to visit our website, americancentury.com.

Municipal Bonds (Munis) Generally Extended Their Solid Performance

Key conditions described in our semiannual report letter extended for another six months. Widespread concerns about global economic growth sparked financial market volatility, followed by monetary policy reactions from central banks. The primary catalyst in 2015 was China, where slowing economic growth and currency devaluations sent shock waves through the global markets. These factors re-emerged in January and early February 2016, triggering sell-offs in riskier assets such as stocks and high-yield bonds and encouraging central banks in Japan and Europe to cut interest rates and/or extend their bond-buying (quantitative easing, QE) programs. More QE came after Brexit, the U.K.’s vote to exit the European Union. Monetary policy expansion produced negative interest rates in Japan and Europe, and lowered longer-maturity bond yields globally.

In this bond-friendly environment, munis generally continued to perform well. The broad muni market benefited from its comparatively high overall credit quality, despite defaults in Puerto Rico and financial concerns facing Illinois and New Jersey. We continue to view these as isolated incidents running counter to overall muni credit quality trends. Also, as government bond yields fell globally, after-tax muni yields looked attractive, especially for investors in top tax brackets.

After 12 straight months of positive performance for the broad muni market, we’re positioning muni portfolios for increased volatility (and the possibility of lower returns) after heavy demand compressed the yield differences (spreads) between shorter- and longer-maturity bonds, and higher- and lower-quality bonds. Spreads narrowed to an extent in August 2016 that would indicate a greater chance of widening than narrowing, given the uncertainties ahead, including central bank reviews of their QE programs, the Federal Reserve’s desire to raise interest rates, the fallout from Brexit, and the U.S. presidential election. We appreciate your continued trust in us during this challenging period.

Sincerely,

Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses
Investor Class      0.50%
The total annual fund operating expenses shown is as stated in the fund’s prospectus current as of the date of this report. The prospectus may vary from the expense ratio shown elsewhere in this report because it is based on a different time period, includes acquired fund fees and expenses, and, if applicable, does not include fee waivers or expense reimbursements.













Data presented reflect past performance. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance shown.
Total returns for periods less than one year are not annualized. To obtain performance
data current to the most recent month end, please call 1-800-345-2021 or visit americancentury.com. For additional information about the fund, please consult the prospectus.

You could lose money by investing in the fund. Although the fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it cannot guarantee it will do so. The fund may impose a fee upon sale of your shares or may temporarily suspend your ability to sell shares if the fund’s liquidity falls below required minimums because of market conditions or other factors. An investment in the fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. The fund’s sponsor has no legal obligation to provide financial support to the fund, and you should not expect that the sponsor will provide financial support to the fund at any time.

The 7-day current yield more closely reflects the current earnings of the fund than the total return.

Shareholder Fee Example

Fund shareholders may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and redemption/exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service (12b-1) fees; and other fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in your fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing cost of investing in other mutual funds.

The example is based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from March 1, 2016 to August 31, 2016.

Actual Expenses

The table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses for each class. You may use the information, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. First, identify the share class you own. Then simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

If you hold Investor Class shares of any American Century Investments fund, or Institutional Class shares of the American Century Diversified Bond Fund, in an American Century Investments account (i.e., not a financial intermediary or retirement plan account), American Century Investments may charge you a $12.50 semiannual account maintenance fee if the value of those shares is less than $10,000. We will redeem shares automatically in one of your accounts to pay the $12.50 fee. In determining your total eligible investment amount, we will include your investments in all personal accounts (including American Century Investments Brokerage accounts) registered under your Social Security number. Personal accounts include individual accounts, joint accounts, UGMA/UTMA accounts, personal trusts, Coverdell Education Savings Accounts and IRAs (including traditional, Roth, Rollover, SEP-, SARSEP- and SIMPLE-IRAs), and certain other retirement accounts. If you have only business, business retirement, employer-sponsored or American Century Investments Brokerage accounts, you are currently not subject to this fee. If you are subject to the Account Maintenance Fee, your account value could be reduced by the fee amount.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The table also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual expense ratio of each class of your fund and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the actual return of a fund’s share class. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption/exchange fees. Therefore, the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Notes to Financial Statements
 
AUGUST 31, 2016

1. Organization

American Century California Tax-Free and Municipal Funds (the trust) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company and is organized as a Massachusetts business trust. California Tax-Free Money Market Fund (the fund) is one fund in a series issued by the trust. The fund’s investment objective is to seek safety of principal and high current income that is exempt from federal and California income taxes.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the fund in preparation of its financial statements. The fund is an investment company and follows accounting and reporting guidance in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. This may require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Management evaluated the impact of events or transactions occurring through the date the financial statements were issued that would merit recognition or disclosure.

Investment Valuations — The fund determines the fair value of its investments and computes its net asset value (NAV) per share at the close of regular trading (usually 4 p.m. Eastern time) on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on each day the NYSE is open. Investments are generally valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. Open-end management investment companies are valued at the reported NAV per share. If the fund determines that the valuation methods do not reflect an investment’s fair value, such investment is valued as determined in good faith by the Board of Trustees or its delegate, in accordance with policies and procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees.

Security Transactions — Security transactions are accounted for as of the trade date. Net realized gains and losses are determined on the identified cost basis, which is also used for federal income tax purposes.
 
Investment Income — Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis and includes accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums.

Income Tax Status — It is the fund’s policy to distribute substantially all net investment income and net realized gains to shareholders and to otherwise qualify as a regulated investment company under provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, no provision has been made for income taxes. The fund files U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S. tax returns as applicable. The fund's tax returns are subject to examination by the relevant taxing authority until expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, which is generally three years from the date of filing but can be longer in certain jurisdictions. At this time, management believes there are no uncertain tax positions which, based on their technical merit, would not be sustained upon examination and for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.

Distributions to Shareholders — Distributions from net investment income, if any, are declared daily and paid monthly. The fund may make capital gains distributions to comply with the distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue Code.

Indemnifications — Under the trust’s organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the fund. In addition, in the normal course of business, the fund enters into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against a fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered by management to be remote.


13



3. Fees and Transactions with Related Parties

Certain officers and trustees of the trust are also officers and/or directors of American Century Companies, Inc. (ACC). The trust's investment advisor, American Century Investment Management, Inc. (ACIM), the trust's distributor, American Century Investment Services, Inc., and the trust's transfer agent, American Century Services, LLC, are wholly owned, directly or indirectly, by ACC.

Management Fees — The trust has entered into a management agreement with ACIM, under which ACIM provides the fund with investment advisory and management services in exchange for a single, unified management fee (the fee). The agreement provides that all expenses of managing and operating the fund, except distribution and service fees, brokerage expenses, taxes, interest, fees and expenses of the independent trustees (including legal counsel fees), and extraordinary expenses, will be paid by ACIM. The fee is computed and accrued daily based on the daily net assets of the fund and paid monthly in arrears. The fee consists of (1) an Investment Category Fee based on the daily net assets of the fund and certain other accounts managed by the investment advisor that are in the same broad investment category as the fund and (2) a Complex Fee based on the assets of all the funds in the American Century Investments family of funds. The rates for the Investment Category Fee range from 0.1570% to 0.2700%. The rates for the Complex Fee range from 0.2500% to 0.3100%. In order to maintain a positive yield, ACIM may voluntarily waive a portion of the management fee on a daily basis. The fee waiver may be revised or terminated at any time by the investment advisor without notice. The effective annual management fee for the year ended August 31, 2016 was 0.49% before waiver and 0.28% after waiver.

Trustees’ Fees and Expenses — The Board of Trustees is responsible for overseeing the investment advisor’s management and operations of the fund. The trustees receive detailed information about the fund and its investment advisor regularly throughout the year, and meet at least quarterly with management of the investment advisor to review reports about fund operations. The fund’s officers do not receive compensation from the fund.

Interfund Transactions — The fund may enter into security transactions with other American Century Investments funds and other client accounts of the investment advisor, in accordance with the 1940 Act rules and procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. The rules and procedures require, among other things, that these transactions be effected at the independent current market price of the security. During the period, the interfund purchases and sales were $11,840,000 and $38,565,000, respectively. The interfund transactions had no effect on the Statement of Operations in net realized gain (loss) on investment transactions. 
 
4. Fair Value Measurements

The fund’s investments valuation process is based on several considerations and may use multiple inputs to determine the fair value of the investments held by the fund. In conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the inputs used to determine a valuation are classified into three broad levels.

Level 1 valuation inputs consist of unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical investments.

Level 2 valuation inputs consist of direct or indirect observable market data (including quoted prices for comparable investments, evaluations of subsequent market events, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.). These inputs also consist of quoted prices for identical investments initially expressed in local currencies that are adjusted through translation into U.S. dollars.

Level 3 valuation inputs consist of unobservable data (including a fund’s own assumptions).

The level classification is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair valuation measurement. The valuation inputs are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in these securities or other financial instruments. There were no significant transfers between levels during the period.

As of period end, the fund’s investment securities were classified as Level 2. The Schedule of Investments provides additional information on the fund’s portfolio holdings.

5. Risk Factors

The fund focuses its investments in a single state and therefore may have more exposure to credit risk related to the state of California than a fund with a broader geographical diversification.

6. Federal Tax Information

The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended August 31, 2016 and August 31, 2015 were as follows:
 
2016
2015
Distributions Paid From
 
 
Exempt income
$
36,837

$
20,678

Long-term capital gains
$
704



The book-basis character of distributions made during the year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. These differences reflect the differing character of certain income items and net realized gains and losses for financial statement and tax purposes, and may result in reclassification among certain capital accounts on the financial statements.

As of August 31, 2016, the fund had accumulated long-term gains for federal income tax purposes of $24,559.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Trustees of the American Century California Tax-Free and Municipal Funds and Shareholders of the California Tax-Free Money Market Fund:

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the California Tax-Free Money Market Fund (one of the four funds in the American Century California Tax-Free and Municipal Funds, hereafter referred to as the "Fund") at August 31, 2016, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at August 31, 2016 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Management

Board of Trustees
The individuals listed below serve as trustees of the funds. Each trustee will continue to serve in this capacity until death, retirement, resignation or removal from office. The board has adopted a mandatory retirement age for trustees who are not “interested persons,” as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act (independent trustees). Independent trustees shall retire on December 31 of the year in which they reach their 75th birthday; provided, however, that on or after January 1, 2022, independent trustees shall retire on December 31 of the year in which they reach their 76th birthday.
Mr. Thomas is an “interested person” because he currently serves as President and Chief Executive Officer of American Century Companies, Inc. (ACC), the parent company of American Century Investment Management, Inc. (ACIM or the advisor). The other trustees (more than three-fourths of the total number) are independent. They are not employees, directors or officers of, and have no financial interest in, ACC or any of its wholly owned, direct or indirect, subsidiaries, including ACIM, American Century Investment Services, Inc. (ACIS) and American Century Services, LLC (ACS), and they do not have any other affiliations, positions or relationships that would cause them to be considered “interested persons” under the Investment Company Act. The trustees serve in this capacity for eight (in the case of Mr. Thomas, 15) registered investment companies in the American Century Investments family of funds.
The following table presents additional information about the trustees. The mailing address for each trustee other than Mr. Thomas is 1665 Charleston Road, Mountain View, California 94043. The mailing address for Mr. Thomas is 4500 Main Street, Kansas City, Missouri 64111.

Approval of Management Agreement


At a meeting held on June 14, 2016, the Fund’s Board of Trustees (the "Board") unanimously approved the renewal of the management agreement pursuant to which American Century Investment Management, Inc. (the “Advisor”) acts as the investment advisor for the Fund. Under Section 15(c) of the Investment Company Act, contracts for investment advisory services are required to be reviewed, evaluated, and approved by a majority of a fund’s directors/trustees, including a majority of the independent Trustees, each year. The Board regards this annual evaluation and renewal as one of its most important responsibilities.

The independent Trustees have memorialized a statement regarding the relationship between their ongoing obligations to oversee and evaluate the performance of the Advisor and their annual consideration of renewal of the management agreement. In that statement, the independent Trustees noted that their assessment of the Advisor’s performance is an ongoing process that takes place over the entire year and is informed by all of the extensive information that the Board and its committees receive and consider over time. This information, together with the additional materials provided specifically in connection with the review, are central to the Board’s assessment of the Advisor’s performance and its determination whether to renew the Fund’s management agreement.

Prior to its consideration of the renewal of the management agreement, the Board requested and reviewed extensive data and analysis relating to the proposed renewal. This information and analysis was compiled by the Advisor and certain independent providers of evaluation data concerning the Fund and the services provided to the Fund by the Advisor.

In connection with its consideration of the renewal of the management agreement, the Board’s review and evaluation of the services provided by the Advisor included, but was not limited to, the following:

the nature, extent, and quality of investment management, shareholder services, and other services provided by the Advisor to the Fund;
the wide range of other programs and services the Advisor provides to the Fund and its shareholders on a routine and non-routine basis;
the investment performance of the Fund, including data comparing the Fund’s performance to appropriate benchmarks and/or a peer group of other mutual funds with similar investment objectives and strategies;
the cost of owning the Fund compared to the cost of owning similar funds;
the Advisor’s compliance policies, procedures, and regulatory experience;
financial data showing the cost of services provided to the Fund, the profitability of the Fund to the Advisor, and the overall profitability of the Advisor;
possible economies of scale associated with the Advisor’s management of the Fund and other accounts under its management;
data comparing services provided and charges to other investment management clients of the Advisor;
acquired fund fees and expenses;
payments by the Fund and the Advisor to financial intermediaries whose clients are investors in the Fund; and
any collateral benefits derived by the Advisor from the management of the Fund.

In keeping with its practice, the Board held two in-person meetings to review and discuss the information provided in response to their request. The independent Trustees also had the benefit of the advice of their independent counsel throughout the process.


21



Factors Considered

The Trustees considered all of the information provided by the Advisor, the independent data providers, and the independent Trustees’ independent counsel in connection with the approval. They determined that the information was sufficient for them to evaluate the management agreement for the Fund. In connection with their review, the Trustees did not identify any single factor as being all-important or controlling and each Trustee may have attributed different levels of importance to different factors. In deciding to renew the management agreement, the Board based its decision on a number of factors, including the following:

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services - Generally. Under the management agreement, the Advisor is responsible for providing or arranging for all services necessary for the operation of the Fund. The Board noted that under the management agreement, the Advisor provides or arranges at its own expense a wide variety of services including:

constructing and designing the Fund
portfolio research and security selection
initial capitalization/funding
securities trading
Fund administration
custody of Fund assets
daily valuation of the Fund’s portfolio
shareholder servicing and transfer agency, including shareholder confirmations, recordkeeping, and communications
legal services (except the independent Trustees’ counsel)
regulatory and portfolio compliance
financial reporting
marketing and distribution (except amounts paid by the Fund under Rule 12b-1 plans)

The Board noted that many of these services have expanded over time in terms of both quantity and complexity in response to shareholder demands, competition in the industry, changing distribution channels, and the changing regulatory environment.

Investment Management, Shareholder, and Other Services. The nature of the investment management services provided to the Fund is quite complex and allows Fund shareholders access to professional money management, instant diversification of their investments within an asset class, the opportunity to easily diversify among asset classes by investing in or exchanging among various American Century Investments funds, and liquidity. In evaluating investment performance, the Board expects the Advisor to manage the Fund in accordance with its investment objectives and approved strategies. Further, the Trustees recognize that the Advisor has an obligation to seek the best execution of fund trades. In providing these services, the Advisor utilizes teams of investment professionals (portfolio managers, analysts, research assistants, and securities traders) who require extensive information technology, research, training, compliance, and other systems to conduct their business. The Board, directly and through its Portfolio Committee, regularly reviews investment performance information for the Fund, together with comparative information for appropriate benchmarks and/or peer groups of similarly-managed funds, over different time horizons. The Trustees also review detailed performance information during the management agreement approval process. If performance concerns are identified, the Fund receives special reviews until performance improves, during which the Board discusses with the Advisor the reasons for such results (e.g., market conditions, security selection) and any efforts being undertaken to improve performance. The Fund’s performance was in the first quartile of its peer group for the one-, three-, five-, and ten-year periods reviewed by the Board. The Board found the investment management services provided by the Advisor to the Fund to be satisfactory and consistent with the management agreement.


22



Under the management agreement, the Advisor provides the Fund with a comprehensive package of transfer agency, shareholder, and other services. The Board, directly and through various committees of the Board, regularly reviews reports and evaluations of such services at its regular meetings. These reports include, but are not limited to, information regarding the operational efficiency and accuracy of the shareholder and transfer agency services provided, staffing levels, shareholder satisfaction (as measured by external as well as internal sources), technology support, new products and services offered to Fund shareholders, securities trading activities, portfolio valuation services, auditing services, and legal and operational compliance activities. Certain aspects of shareholder and transfer agency service level efficiency and the quality of securities trading activities are measured by independent third party providers and are presented in comparison to other fund groups not managed by the Advisor.

The Board found the services provided by the Advisor to the Fund under the management agreement to be competitive and of high quality.

Costs of Services and Profitability. The Advisor provides detailed information concerning its cost of providing various services to the Fund, its profitability in managing the Fund, its overall profitability, and its financial condition. The Trustees have reviewed with the Advisor the methodology used to prepare this financial information. This information is considered in evaluating the Advisor’s financial condition, its ability to continue to provide services under the management agreement, and the reasonableness of the current management fee. The Board concluded that the Advisor’s profits were reasonable in light of the services provided to the Fund.

Economies of Scale. The Board also reviewed information provided by the Advisor regarding the possible existence of economies of scale in connection with the management of the Fund. The Board concluded that economies of scale are difficult to measure and predict with precision, especially on a fund-by-fund basis. The Board concluded that the Advisor is appropriately sharing economies of scale through its competitive fee structure, offering competitive fees from fund inception, and through reinvestment in its business to provide shareholders enhanced and expanded services.

Comparison to Other Funds’ Fees. The management agreement provides that the Fund pays the Advisor a single, all-inclusive (or unified) management fee for providing all services necessary for the management and operation of the Fund, other than brokerage expenses, expenses attributable to short sales, taxes, interest, extraordinary expenses, the fees and expenses of the Fund’s independent Trustees (including their independent legal counsel), and expenses incurred in connection with the provision of shareholder services and distribution services under a plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Under the unified fee structure, the Advisor is responsible for providing all investment advisory, custody, audit, administrative, compliance, recordkeeping, marketing, and shareholder services, or arranging and supervising third parties to provide such services. By contrast, most other funds are charged a variety of fees, including an investment advisory fee, a transfer agency fee, an administrative fee, distribution charges, and other expenses. Other than their investment advisory fees and any applicable Rule 12b-1 fees, all other components of the total fees charged by these other funds may be increased without shareholder approval. The Board believes the unified fee structure is a benefit to Fund shareholders because it clearly discloses to shareholders the cost of owning Fund shares, and, since the unified fee cannot be increased without a vote of Fund shareholders, it shifts to the Advisor the risk of increased costs of operating the Fund and provides a direct incentive to minimize administrative inefficiencies. Part of the Board’s analysis of fee levels involves reviewing certain evaluative data compiled by an independent provider and comparing the Fund’s unified fee to the total expense ratio of peer funds. Given the industry-wide proliferation of fee waivers to support positive money market fund yields, the Board recognized that net fee comparisons may be less statistically relevant than in prior years. With that in mind, the Board reviewed peer data both on a gross basis and net of applicable waivers. The Board concluded that the management fee paid by the Fund to the Advisor under the management agreement is reasonable in light of the services provided to the Fund.

23



Comparison to Fees and Services Provided to Other Clients of the Advisor. The Board also requested and received information from the Advisor concerning the nature of the services, fees, costs, and profitability of its advisory services to advisory clients other than the Fund. They observed that these varying types of client accounts require different services and involve different regulatory and entrepreneurial risks than the management of the Fund. The Board analyzed this information and concluded that the fees charged and services provided to the Fund were reasonable by comparison.

Payments to Intermediaries. The Trustees also requested and received a description of payments made to intermediaries by the Fund and the Advisor. These payments include various payments made by the Fund or the Advisor to different types of intermediaries and recordkeepers for distribution and service activities provided for the Fund.

Collateral or “Fall-Out” Benefits Derived by the Advisor. The Board considered the existence of collateral benefits the Advisor may receive as a result of its relationship with the Fund. The Board noted that the Advisor’s primary business is managing mutual funds and it generally does not use fund or shareholder information to generate profits in other lines of business, and therefore does not derive any significant collateral benefits from them. The Board noted that the Advisor receives proprietary research from broker-dealers that execute fund portfolio transactions. The Board also determined that the Advisor is able to provide investment management services to certain clients other than the Fund, at least in part, due to its existing infrastructure built to serve the fund complex. The Board concluded, however, that the assets of those other clients are not material to the analysis and, where applicable, may be included with the assets of the Fund to determine breakpoints in the management fee schedule.

Existing Relationship. The Board also considered whether there was any reason for not continuing the existing arrangement with the Advisor. In this regard, the Board was mindful of the potential disruptions of the Fund’s operations and various risks, uncertainties, and other effects that could occur as a result of a decision not to continue such relationship. In particular, the Board recognized that most shareholders have invested in the Fund on the strength of the Advisor’s industry standing and reputation and in the expectation that the Advisor will have a continuing role in providing advisory services to the Fund.

Conclusion of the Trustees. As a result of this process, the Board, including all of the independent Trustees and assisted by the advice of independent legal counsel, taking into account all of the factors discussed above and the information provided by the Advisor and others in connection with its review and throughout the year, concluded that the management agreement between the Fund and the Advisor is fair and reasonable in light of the services provided and should be renewed.

President’s Letter

Dear Investor:

Municipal Bonds (Munis) Generally Extended Their Solid Performance

Key conditions described in our semiannual report letter extended for another six months. Widespread concerns about global economic growth sparked financial market volatility, followed by monetary policy reactions from central banks. The primary catalyst in 2015 was China, where slowing economic growth and currency devaluations sent shock waves through the global markets. These factors re-emerged in January and early February 2016, triggering sell-offs in riskier assets such as stocks and high-yield bonds and encouraging central banks in Japan and Europe to cut interest rates and/or extend their bond-buying (quantitative easing, QE) programs. More QE came after Brexit, the U.K.’s vote to exit the European Union. Monetary policy expansion produced negative interest rates in Japan and Europe, and lowered longer-maturity bond yields globally.

In this bond-friendly environment, munis generally continued to perform well. The broad muni market benefited from its comparatively high overall credit quality, despite defaults in Puerto Rico and financial concerns facing Illinois and New Jersey. We continue to view these as isolated incidents running counter to overall muni credit quality trends. Also, as government bond yields fell globally, after-tax muni yields looked attractive, especially for investors in top tax brackets.

After 12 straight months of positive performance for the broad muni market, we’re positioning muni portfolios for increased volatility (and the possibility of lower returns) after heavy demand compressed the yield differences (spreads) between shorter- and longer-maturity bonds, and higher- and lower-quality bonds. Spreads narrowed to an extent in August 2016 that would indicate a greater chance of widening than narrowing, given the uncertainties ahead, including central bank reviews of their QE programs, the Federal Reserve’s desire to raise interest rates, the fallout from Brexit, and the U.S. presidential election. We appreciate your continued trust in us during this challenging period.

Sincerely,

Portfolio Commentary

Portfolio Managers: Joseph Gotelli, Alan Kruss, and Steven Permut


Performance Summary

California Intermediate-Term Tax-Free Bond returned 5.74%* for the 12 months ended August 31, 2016, outperforming the Bloomberg Barclays 7 Year Municipal Bond Index, which returned 5.68%. Fund returns reflect operating expenses, while index returns do not.

The fund’s absolute return for the reporting period reflected the positive overall performance of municipal bonds (munis) and California munis in particular. The muni market generally rallied, posting a positive total return in each of the 12 months and outperforming the U.S. Treasury market and the broad taxable investment-grade U.S. fixed-income market for the entire period. In addition to benefiting from a favorable backdrop for U.S. fixed-income securities—which included declining interest rates and muted inflation—munis advanced on stable credit trends, positive flows, and other supportive supply/demand factors.

Favorable Fixed-Income Backdrop, Muni Market Dynamics Fueled Gains

Investor concerns about global growth, commodity prices, and central bank monetary decisions generated volatility during the 12-month period. The U.S. economy continued to exhibit modest growth, particularly compared with the rest of the developed world, but the U.S. Federal Reserve (the Fed) remained focused on the sluggish global landscape and its potential risks to the U.S. economy. This triggered ongoing investor speculation regarding the timing and magnitude of Fed interest rate “normalization” and contributed to the volatile climate. However, the Fed implemented only one rate hike during the period—a 25 basis point increase (1 basis point equals 0.01%) on December 16, 2015, which pushed the range for the federal funds rate target to 0.25%-0.50%.

Despite expectations for additional rate hikes in 2016, the Fed cited concerns about the health of the global economy, the uncertainty triggered by the U.K. vote in late June to exit the European Union (Brexit), and weaker-than-expected U.S. economic growth as reasons to pursue a “lower for longer” rate strategy. Meanwhile, central banks in Europe, Japan, and China continued to implement aggressive stimulus programs in response to weak growth rates and deflation threats in those regions. This action increased the relative attractiveness of the U.S. bond market, where yields were generally higher.

This environment led to positive performance for U.S. Treasuries and other U.S. bond market sectors. Munis generally tracked the U.S. Treasury market, but factors specific to the municipal market helped munis outperform. In particular, supply and demand dynamics remained favorable and supported gains. Overall supply increased only slightly, while demand for munis remained robust due to the tax advantages and perceived “safe-haven” munis offered investors. As of August 31, 2016, muni funds experienced 48 consecutive weeks of positive flows, according to Lipper Inc.

Overall, all major sectors of the muni bond market posted positive returns for the 12-month period, according to Bloomberg Barclays. Reflecting investor demand for yield, longer-maturity and lower-quality munis generally performed better than shorter-maturity and higher-quality securities. In addition, revenue bonds outperformed general obligation (GO) bonds.

State and National Fiscal, Credit Backdrops Were Generally Positive

State and local finances in California and across the U.S. remained relatively healthy, even as tax revenue growth slowed due to stock market volatility. Spending restraint enabled most states, including California, to maintain stable credit profiles. Furthermore, California’s job growth outpaced the national average, and the state’s housing market continued to improve. In addition, state officials reported $7.3 billion in reserves at the end of fiscal year 2016 and projected reserves would climb to $8.5 billion by the end of fiscal year 2017. Also, in August 2016, Fitch Ratings upgraded California’s bond credit rating from “A+” to “AA-.”

From a national credit rating perspective, downgrades outpaced upgrades in the second calendar quarter of 2016, largely due to troubled credits in Illinois and Michigan. Overall, the national muni default rate remained low. We continue to believe it is unlikely any states will default, but special circumstances may continue to pressure isolated state, local, and commonwealth credit ratings, such as those in Puerto Rico, Illinois, New Jersey, and Michigan.

Maturity Structure, Longer Duration Led to Outperformance

We maintained a “laddered” maturity structure, which seeks broad exposure across the yield curve to achieve a particular weighted average maturity (WAM). Conversely, the index is “bulleted,” focusing on a particular segment of the muni yield curve to achieve its WAM. We also maintained a flattening bias with respect to the portfolio’s yield-curve positioning, favoring intermediate- and longer-maturity munis over shorter-maturity munis. These strategies aided relative performance as yields on intermediate- and longer-maturity securities declined more than yields on shorter-maturity munis, causing the muni yield curve to flatten. The portfolio’s duration (price sensitivity to interest rate changes), which was slightly longer than the index’s, also lifted performance in this yield environment.

Meanwhile, sector allocation and security selection produced mixed results relative to the index. Overall, our preference for revenue bonds over GO bonds generally aided results, while security selection among public power and lease revenue bonds detracted. An overweight position versus the index in prerefunded debt also detracted slightly.

Focus on Yield in Range-Bound Market

We believe U.S. economic fundamentals support slightly higher interest rates. But low inflation, weaker global economic fundamentals, low interest rates in Europe and Japan, weak commodity prices, a strong U.S. dollar, and geopolitical uncertainty (particularly in the wake of the Brexit vote) will, in our view, likely keep Fed action slow and data dependent, and keep rates range-bound in the near term. For this reason, we are comfortable maintaining a slightly longer-than-average duration and a slight bias toward lower-quality credits—two strategies that have helped enhance the portfolio’s yield. We also believe volatility may escalate ahead of the November U.S. presidential election, and such volatility may cause credit spreads (the yield differential between high-quality and low-quality munis of similar maturity) to widen. This potential backdrop may present compelling buying opportunities among lower-quality credits. In this environment, we believe fundamental credit research, active management, and security selection will become increasingly important.

Shareholder Fee Example
 
Fund shareholders may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and redemption/exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service (12b-1) fees; and other fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in your fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing cost of investing in other mutual funds.

The example is based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from March 1, 2016 to August 31, 2016.

Actual Expenses

The table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses for each class. You may use the information, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. First, identify the share class you own. Then simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

If you hold Investor Class shares of any American Century Investments fund, or Institutional Class shares of the American Century Diversified Bond Fund, in an American Century Investments account (i.e., not a financial intermediary or retirement plan account), American Century Investments may charge you a $12.50 semiannual account maintenance fee if the value of those shares is less than $10,000. We will redeem shares automatically in one of your accounts to pay the $12.50 fee. In determining your total eligible investment amount, we will include your investments in all personal accounts (including American Century Investments Brokerage accounts) registered under your Social Security number. Personal accounts include individual accounts, joint accounts, UGMA/UTMA accounts, personal trusts, Coverdell Education Savings Accounts and IRAs (including traditional, Roth, Rollover, SEP-, SARSEP- and SIMPLE-IRAs), and certain other retirement accounts. If you have only business, business retirement, employer-sponsored or American Century Investments Brokerage accounts, you are currently not subject to this fee. If you are subject to the Account Maintenance Fee, your account value could be reduced by the fee amount.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The table also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual expense ratio of each class of your fund and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the actual return of a fund’s share class. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption/exchange fees. Therefore, the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Notes to Financial Statements
 
AUGUST 31, 2016

1. Organization

American Century California Tax-Free and Municipal Funds (the trust) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company and is organized as a Massachusetts business trust. California Intermediate-Term Tax-Free Bond Fund (the fund) is one fund in a series issued by the trust. The fund’s investment objective is to seek safety of principal and high current income that is exempt from federal and California income taxes.

The fund offers the Investor Class, the Institutional Class, the A Class and the C Class. The A Class may incur an initial sales charge. The A Class and C Class may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge. The share classes differ principally in their respective sales charges and distribution and shareholder servicing expenses and arrangements. The Institutional Class is made available to institutional shareholders or through financial intermediaries whose clients do not require the same level of shareholder and administrative services as shareholders of other classes. As a result, the Institutional Class is charged a lower unified management fee.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the fund in preparation of its financial statements. The fund is an investment company and follows accounting and reporting guidance in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. This may require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Management evaluated the impact of events or transactions occurring through the date the financial statements were issued that would merit recognition or disclosure.

Investment Valuations — The fund determines the fair value of its investments and computes its net asset value per share at the close of regular trading (usually 4 p.m. Eastern time) on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on each day the NYSE is open. The Board of Trustees has adopted valuation policies and procedures to guide the investment advisor in the fund’s investment valuation process and to provide methodologies for the oversight of the fund’s pricing function.

Fixed income securities are valued at the evaluated mean as provided by independent pricing services or at the mean of the most recent bid and asked prices as provided by investment dealers. Municipal securities are valued using market models that consider trade data, quotations from dealers and active market makers, relevant yield curve and spread data, creditworthiness, trade data or market information on comparable securities, and other relevant security specific information.
 
Open-end management investment companies are valued at the reported net asset value per share.

If the fund determines that the market price for an investment is not readily available or the valuation methods mentioned above do not reflect an investment’s fair value, such investment is valued as determined in good faith by the Board of Trustees or its delegate, in accordance with policies and procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. In its determination of fair value, the fund may review several factors including, but not limited to, market information regarding the specific investment or comparable investments and correlation with other investment types, futures indices or general market indicators. Circumstances that may cause the fund to use these procedures to value an investment include, but are not limited to: an investment has been declared in default or is distressed; trading in a security has been suspended during the trading day or a security is not actively trading on its principal exchange; prices received from a regular pricing source are deemed unreliable; or there is a foreign market holiday and no trading occurred.
 
The fund monitors for significant events occurring after the close of an investment’s primary exchange but before the fund’s net asset value per share is determined. Significant events may include, but are not limited to: corporate announcements and transactions; governmental action and political unrest that could impact a specific investment or an investment sector; or armed conflicts, natural disasters and similar events that could affect investments in a specific country or region.
 

34



Security Transactions — Security transactions are accounted for as of the trade date. Net realized gains and losses are determined on the identified cost basis, which is also used for federal income tax purposes.
 
Investment Income — Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis and includes accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums.

Segregated Assets — In accordance with the 1940 Act, the fund segregates assets on its books and records to cover certain types of investments, including, but not limited to, futures contracts and when-issued securities. American Century Investment Management, Inc. (ACIM) (the investment advisor) monitors, on a daily basis, the securities segregated to ensure the fund designates a sufficient amount of liquid assets, marked-to-market daily. The fund may also receive assets or be required to pledge assets at the custodian bank or with a broker for margin requirements on futures contracts.

Income Tax Status — It is the fund’s policy to distribute substantially all net investment income and net realized gains to shareholders and to otherwise qualify as a regulated investment company under provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, no provision has been made for income taxes. The fund files U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S. tax returns as applicable. The fund's tax returns are subject to examination by the relevant taxing authority until expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, which is generally three years from the date of filing but can be longer in certain jurisdictions. At this time, management believes there are no uncertain tax positions which, based on their technical merit, would not be sustained upon examination and for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.

Multiple Class — All shares of the fund represent an equal pro rata interest in the net assets of the class to which such shares belong, and have identical voting, dividend, liquidation and other rights and the same terms and conditions, except for class specific expenses and exclusive rights to vote on matters affecting only individual classes. Income, non-class specific expenses, and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses of the fund are allocated to each class of shares based on their relative net assets.

Distributions to Shareholders — Distributions from net investment income, if any, are declared daily and paid monthly. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are generally declared and paid annually.
 
Indemnifications — Under the trust’s organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the fund. In addition, in the normal course of business, the fund enters into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against a fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered by management to be remote.

3. Fees and Transactions with Related Parties

Certain officers and trustees of the trust are also officers and/or directors of American Century Companies, Inc. (ACC). The trust's investment advisor, ACIM, the trust's distributor, American Century Investment Services, Inc. (ACIS), and the trust's transfer agent, American Century Services, LLC, are wholly owned, directly or indirectly, by ACC.
 
Management Fees — The trust has entered into a management agreement with ACIM, under which ACIM provides the fund with investment advisory and management services in exchange for a single, unified management fee (the fee) per class. The agreement provides that all expenses of managing and operating the fund, except distribution and service fees, brokerage expenses, taxes, interest, fees and expenses of the independent trustees (including legal counsel fees), and extraordinary expenses, will be paid by ACIM. The fee is computed and accrued daily based on each class’s daily net assets and paid monthly in arrears. The fee consists of (1) an Investment Category Fee based on the daily net assets of the fund and certain other accounts managed by the investment advisor that are in the same broad investment category as the fund and (2) a Complex Fee based on the assets of all the funds in the American Century Investments family of funds. The rates for the Investment Category Fee range from 0.1625% to 0.2800%. The rates for the Complex Fee range from 0.2500% to 0.3100% for the Investor Class, A Class and C Class. The rates for the Complex Fee range from 0.0500% to 0.1100% for the Institutional Class. The effective annual management fee for each class for the year ended August 31, 2016 was 0.46% for the Investor Class, A Class and C Class and 0.26% for the Institutional Class.

Distribution and Service Fees — The Board of Trustees has adopted a separate Master Distribution and Individual Shareholder Services Plan for each of the A Class and C Class (collectively the plans), pursuant to Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act. The plans provide that the A Class will pay ACIS an annual distribution and

35



service fee of 0.25%. The plans provide that the C Class will pay ACIS an annual distribution and service fee of 1.00%, of which 0.25% is paid for individual shareholder services and 0.75% is paid for distribution services. The fees are computed and accrued daily based on each class’s daily net assets and paid monthly in arrears. The fees are used to pay financial intermediaries for distribution and individual shareholder services. Fees incurred under the plans during the year ended August 31, 2016 are detailed in the Statement of Operations.

Trustees’ Fees and Expenses — The Board of Trustees is responsible for overseeing the investment advisor’s management and operations of the fund. The trustees receive detailed information about the fund and its investment advisor regularly throughout the year, and meet at least quarterly with management of the investment advisor to review reports about fund operations. The fund’s officers do not receive compensation from the fund.

Interfund Transactions — The fund may enter into security transactions with other American Century Investments funds and other client accounts of the investment advisor, in accordance with the 1940 Act rules and procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. The rules and procedures require, among other things, that these transactions be effected at the independent current market price of the security. During the period, the interfund purchases and sales were $16,438,818 and $35,090,000, respectively. The interfund transactions had no effect on the Statement of Operations in net realized gain (loss) on investment transactions.
 
4. Investment Transactions

Purchases and sales of investment securities, excluding short-term investments, for the year ended August 31, 2016 were $522,278,312 and $361,443,855, respectively.

6. Fair Value Measurements

The fund’s investments valuation process is based on several considerations and may use multiple inputs to determine the fair value of the investments held by the fund. In conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the inputs used to determine a valuation are classified into three broad levels.

Level 1 valuation inputs consist of unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical investments.

Level 2 valuation inputs consist of direct or indirect observable market data (including quoted prices for comparable investments, evaluations of subsequent market events, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.). These inputs also consist of quoted prices for identical investments initially expressed in local currencies that are adjusted through translation into U.S. dollars.

Level 3 valuation inputs consist of unobservable data (including a fund’s own assumptions).

The level classification is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair valuation measurement. The valuation inputs are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in these securities or other financial instruments. There were no significant transfers between levels during the period.

As of period end, the fund’s investment securities were classified as Level 2. The Schedule of Investments provides additional information on the fund’s portfolio holdings.

7. Risk Factors

The fund focuses its investments in a single state and therefore may have more exposure to credit risk related to the state of California than a fund with a broader geographical diversification.

8. Federal Tax Information

The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended August 31, 2016 and August 31, 2015 were as follows:
 
2016
2015
Distributions Paid From
 
 
Exempt income
$
36,880,546

$
34,662,983

Taxable ordinary income

$
2,058

Long-term capital gains




37



The book-basis character of distributions made during the year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. These differences reflect the differing character of certain income items and net realized gains and losses for financial statement and tax purposes, and may result in reclassification among certain capital accounts on the financial statements.
 
As of August 31, 2016, the federal tax cost of investments and the components of distributable earnings on a tax-basis were as follows:
Federal tax cost of investments
$
1,563,535,145

Gross tax appreciation of investments
$
118,392,445

Gross tax depreciation of investments
(315,295
)
Net tax appreciation (depreciation) of investments
$
118,077,150

Other book-to-tax adjustments
$
(1,918
)
Undistributed exempt income

Accumulated short-term capital losses
$
(3,388,336
)

The cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was the same as the cost for financial reporting purposes.

Accumulated capital losses represent net capital loss carryovers that may be used to offset future realized capital gains for federal income tax purposes. The capital loss carryovers may be carried forward for an unlimited period. Future capital loss carryover utilization in any given year may be subject to Internal Revenue Code limitations.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Trustees of the American Century California Tax-Free and Municipal Funds and Shareholders of the California Intermediate-Term Tax-Free Bond Fund:

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the California Intermediate-Term Tax-Free Bond Fund (one of the four funds in the American Century California Tax-Free and Municipal Funds, hereafter referred to as the "Fund") at August 31, 2016, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at August 31, 2016 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Management

Board of Trustees
The individuals listed below serve as trustees of the funds. Each trustee will continue to serve in this capacity until death, retirement, resignation or removal from office. The board has adopted a mandatory retirement age for trustees who are not “interested persons,” as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act (independent trustees). Independent trustees shall retire on December 31 of the year in which they reach their 75th birthday; provided, however, that on or after January 1, 2022, independent trustees shall retire on December 31 of the year in which they reach their 76th birthday.
Mr. Thomas is an “interested person” because he currently serves as President and Chief Executive Officer of American Century Companies, Inc. (ACC), the parent company of American Century Investment Management, Inc. (ACIM or the advisor). The other trustees (more than three-fourths of the total number) are independent. They are not employees, directors or officers of, and have no financial interest in, ACC or any of its wholly owned, direct or indirect, subsidiaries, including ACIM, American Century Investment Services, Inc. (ACIS) and American Century Services, LLC (ACS), and they do not have any other affiliations, positions or relationships that would cause them to be considered “interested persons” under the Investment Company Act. The trustees serve in this capacity for eight (in the case of Mr. Thomas, 15) registered investment companies in the American Century Investments family of funds.
The following table presents additional information about the trustees. The mailing address for each trustee other than Mr. Thomas is 1665 Charleston Road, Mountain View, California 94043. The mailing address for Mr. Thomas is 4500 Main Street, Kansas City, Missouri 64111.

Approval of Management Agreement


At a meeting held on June 14, 2016, the Fund’s Board of Trustees (the "Board") unanimously approved the renewal of the management agreement pursuant to which American Century Investment Management, Inc. (the “Advisor”) acts as the investment advisor for the Fund. Under Section 15(c) of the Investment Company Act, contracts for investment advisory services are required to be reviewed, evaluated, and approved by a majority of a fund’s directors/trustees, including a majority of the independent Trustees, each year. The Board regards this annual evaluation and renewal as one of its most important responsibilities.

The independent Trustees have memorialized a statement regarding the relationship between their ongoing obligations to oversee and evaluate the performance of the Advisor and their annual consideration of renewal of the management agreement. In that statement, the independent Trustees noted that their assessment of the Advisor’s performance is an ongoing process that takes place over the entire year and is informed by all of the extensive information that the Board and its committees receive and consider over time. This information, together with the additional materials provided specifically in connection with the review, are central to the Board’s assessment of the Advisor’s performance and its determination whether to renew the Fund’s management agreement.

Prior to its consideration of the renewal of the management agreement, the Board requested and reviewed extensive data and analysis relating to the proposed renewal. This information and analysis was compiled by the Advisor and certain independent providers of evaluation data concerning the Fund and the services provided to the Fund by the Advisor.

In connection with its consideration of the renewal of the management agreement, the Board’s review and evaluation of the services provided by the Advisor included, but was not limited to, the following:

the nature, extent, and quality of investment management, shareholder services, and other services provided by the Advisor to the Fund;
the wide range of other programs and services the Advisor provides to the Fund and its shareholders on a routine and non-routine basis;
the investment performance of the Fund, including data comparing the Fund’s performance to appropriate benchmarks and/or a peer group of other mutual funds with similar investment objectives and strategies;
the cost of owning the Fund compared to the cost of owning similar funds;
the Advisor’s compliance policies, procedures, and regulatory experience;
financial data showing the cost of services provided to the Fund, the profitability of the Fund to the Advisor, and the overall profitability of the Advisor;
possible economies of scale associated with the Advisor’s management of the Fund and other accounts under its management;
data comparing services provided and charges to other investment management clients of the Advisor;
acquired fund fees and expenses;
payments by the Fund and the Advisor to financial intermediaries whose clients are investors in the Fund; and
any collateral benefits derived by the Advisor from the management of the Fund.

In keeping with its practice, the Board held two in-person meetings to review and discuss the information provided in response to their request. The independent Trustees also had the benefit of the advice of their independent counsel throughout the process.


45



Factors Considered

The Trustees considered all of the information provided by the Advisor, the independent data providers, and the independent Trustees’ independent counsel in connection with the approval. They determined that the information was sufficient for them to evaluate the management agreement for the Fund. In connection with their review, the Trustees did not identify any single factor as being all-important or controlling and each Trustee may have attributed different levels of importance to different factors. In deciding to renew the management agreement, the Board based its decision on a number of factors, including the following:

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services - Generally. Under the management agreement, the Advisor is responsible for providing or arranging for all services necessary for the operation of the Fund. The Board noted that under the management agreement, the Advisor provides or arranges at its own expense a wide variety of services including:

constructing and designing the Fund
portfolio research and security selection
initial capitalization/funding
securities trading
Fund administration
custody of Fund assets
daily valuation of the Fund’s portfolio
shareholder servicing and transfer agency, including shareholder confirmations, recordkeeping, and communications
legal services (except the independent Trustees’ counsel)
regulatory and portfolio compliance
financial reporting
marketing and distribution (except amounts paid by the Fund under Rule 12b-1 plans)

The Board noted that many of these services have expanded over time in terms of both quantity and complexity in response to shareholder demands, competition in the industry, changing distribution channels, and the changing regulatory environment.

Investment Management, Shareholder, and Other Services. The nature of the investment management services provided to the Fund is quite complex and allows Fund shareholders access to professional money management, instant diversification of their investments within an asset class, the opportunity to easily diversify among asset classes by investing in or exchanging among various American Century Investments funds, and liquidity. In evaluating investment performance, the Board expects the Advisor to manage the Fund in accordance with its investment objectives and approved strategies. Further, the Trustees recognize that the Advisor has an obligation to seek the best execution of fund trades. In providing these services, the Advisor utilizes teams of investment professionals (portfolio managers, analysts, research assistants, and securities traders) who require extensive information technology, research, training, compliance, and other systems to conduct their business. The Board, directly and through its Portfolio Committee, regularly reviews investment performance information for the Fund, together with comparative information for appropriate benchmarks and/or peer groups of similarly-managed funds, over different time horizons. The Trustees also review detailed performance information during the management agreement approval process. If performance concerns are identified, the Fund receives special reviews until performance improves, during which the Board discusses with the Advisor the reasons for such results (e.g., market conditions, security selection) and any efforts being undertaken to improve performance. The Fund’s performance was above its benchmark for the one-year period and slightly below its benchmark for the three-, five-, and ten-year periods reviewed by the Board. The Board discussed the Fund’s performance with the Advisor and was satisfied with the efforts being undertaken by the Advisor. The Board found the investment management services provided by the Advisor to the Fund to be satisfactory and consistent with the management agreement.

46




Under the management agreement, the Advisor provides the Fund with a comprehensive package of transfer agency, shareholder, and other services. The Board, directly and through various committees of the Board, regularly reviews reports and evaluations of such services at its regular meetings. These reports include, but are not limited to, information regarding the operational efficiency and accuracy of the shareholder and transfer agency services provided, staffing levels, shareholder satisfaction (as measured by external as well as internal sources), technology support, new products and services offered to Fund shareholders, securities trading activities, portfolio valuation services, auditing services, and legal and operational compliance activities. Certain aspects of shareholder and transfer agency service level efficiency and the quality of securities trading activities are measured by independent third party providers and are presented in comparison to other fund groups not managed by the Advisor.

The Board found the services provided by the Advisor to the Fund under the management agreement to be competitive and of high quality.

Costs of Services and Profitability. The Advisor provides detailed information concerning its cost of providing various services to the Fund, its profitability in managing the Fund, its overall profitability, and its financial condition. The Trustees have reviewed with the Advisor the methodology used to prepare this financial information. This information is considered in evaluating the Advisor’s financial condition, its ability to continue to provide services under the management agreement, and the reasonableness of the current management fee. The Board concluded that the Advisor’s profits were reasonable in light of the services provided to the Fund.

Economies of Scale. The Board also reviewed information provided by the Advisor regarding the possible existence of economies of scale in connection with the management of the Fund. The Board concluded that economies of scale are difficult to measure and predict with precision, especially on a fund-by-fund basis. The Board concluded that the Advisor is appropriately sharing economies of scale through its competitive fee structure, offering competitive fees from fund inception, and through reinvestment in its business to provide shareholders enhanced and expanded services.

Comparison to Other Funds’ Fees. The management agreement provides that the Fund pays the Advisor a single, all-inclusive (or unified) management fee for providing all services necessary for the management and operation of the Fund, other than brokerage expenses, expenses attributable to short sales, taxes, interest, extraordinary expenses, the fees and expenses of the Fund’s independent Trustees (including their independent legal counsel), and expenses incurred in connection with the provision of shareholder services and distribution services under a plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Under the unified fee structure, the Advisor is responsible for providing all investment advisory, custody, audit, administrative, compliance, recordkeeping, marketing, and shareholder services, or arranging and supervising third parties to provide such services. By contrast, most other funds are charged a variety of fees, including an investment advisory fee, a transfer agency fee, an administrative fee, distribution charges, and other expenses. Other than their investment advisory fees and any applicable Rule 12b-1 fees, all other components of the total fees charged by these other funds may be increased without shareholder approval. The Board believes the unified fee structure is a benefit to Fund shareholders because it clearly discloses to shareholders the cost of owning Fund shares, and, since the unified fee cannot be increased without a vote of Fund shareholders, it shifts to the Advisor the risk of increased costs of operating the Fund and provides a direct incentive to minimize administrative inefficiencies. Part of the Board’s analysis of fee levels involves reviewing certain evaluative data compiled by an independent provider and comparing the Fund’s unified fee to the total expense ratio of peer funds. The unified fee charged to shareholders of the Fund was below the median of the total expense ratios of the Fund’s peer group. The Board concluded that the management fee paid by the Fund to the Advisor under the management agreement is reasonable in light of the services provided to the Fund.


47



Comparison to Fees and Services Provided to Other Clients of the Advisor. The Board also requested and received information from the Advisor concerning the nature of the services, fees, costs, and profitability of its advisory services to advisory clients other than the Fund. They observed that these varying types of client accounts require different services and involve different regulatory and entrepreneurial risks than the management of the Fund. The Board analyzed this information and concluded that the fees charged and services provided to the Fund were reasonable by comparison.

Payments to Intermediaries. The Trustees also requested and received a description of payments made to intermediaries by the Fund and the Advisor. These payments include various payments made by the Fund or the Advisor to different types of intermediaries and recordkeepers for distribution and service activities provided for the Fund.

Collateral or “Fall-Out” Benefits Derived by the Advisor. The Board considered the existence of collateral benefits the Advisor may receive as a result of its relationship with the Fund. The Board noted that the Advisor’s primary business is managing mutual funds and it generally does not use fund or shareholder information to generate profits in other lines of business, and therefore does not derive any significant collateral benefits from them. The Board noted that the Advisor receives proprietary research from broker-dealers that execute fund portfolio transactions. The Board also determined that the Advisor is able to provide investment management services to certain clients other than the Fund, at least in part, due to its existing infrastructure built to serve the fund complex. The Board concluded, however, that the assets of those other clients are not material to the analysis and, where applicable, may be included with the assets of the Fund to determine breakpoints in the management fee schedule.

Existing Relationship. The Board also considered whether there was any reason for not continuing the existing arrangement with the Advisor. In this regard, the Board was mindful of the potential disruptions of the Fund’s operations and various risks, uncertainties, and other effects that could occur as a result of a decision not to continue such relationship. In particular, the Board recognized that most shareholders have invested in the Fund on the strength of the Advisor’s industry standing and reputation and in the expectation that the Advisor will have a continuing role in providing advisory services to the Fund.

Conclusion of the Trustees. As a result of this process, the Board, including all of the independent Trustees and assisted by the advice of independent legal counsel, taking into account all of the factors discussed above and the information provided by the Advisor and others in connection with its review and throughout the year, concluded that the management agreement between the Fund and the Advisor is fair and reasonable in light of the services provided and should be renewed.

President’s Letter

jthomasrev0514.jpg Jonathan Thomas

Dear Investor:

Thank you for reviewing this annual report for the period ended August 31, 2016. It provides investment performance and portfolio information for the reporting period, plus longer-term historical performance data.

Annual reports remain important vehicles for conveying information about fund returns, including market factors that affected performance during the reporting period. For additional, updated investment and market insights, we encourage you to visit our website, americancentury.com.

Municipal Bonds (Munis) Generally Extended Their Solid Performance

Key conditions described in our semiannual report letter extended for another six months. Widespread concerns about global economic growth sparked financial market volatility, followed by monetary policy reactions from central banks. The primary catalyst in 2015 was China, where slowing economic growth and currency devaluations sent shock waves through the global markets. These factors re-emerged in January and early February 2016, triggering sell-offs in riskier assets such as stocks and high-yield bonds and encouraging central banks in Japan and Europe to cut interest rates and/or extend their bond-buying (quantitative easing, QE) programs. More QE came after Brexit, the U.K.’s vote to exit the European Union. Monetary policy expansion produced negative interest rates in Japan and Europe, and lowered longer-maturity bond yields globally.

In this bond-friendly environment, munis generally continued to perform well. The broad muni market benefited from its comparatively high overall credit quality, despite defaults in Puerto Rico and financial concerns facing Illinois and New Jersey. We continue to view these as isolated incidents running counter to overall muni credit quality trends. Also, as government bond yields fell globally, after-tax muni yields looked attractive, especially for investors in top tax brackets.

After 12 straight months of positive performance for the broad muni market, we’re positioning muni portfolios for increased volatility (and the possibility of lower returns) after heavy demand compressed the yield differences (spreads) between shorter- and longer-maturity bonds, and higher- and lower-quality bonds. Spreads narrowed to an extent in August 2016 that would indicate a greater chance of widening than narrowing, given the uncertainties ahead, including central bank reviews of their QE programs, the Federal Reserve’s desire to raise interest rates, the fallout from Brexit, and the U.S. presidential election. We appreciate your continued trust in us during this challenging period.

Sincerely,

Portfolio Commentary

Portfolio Managers: Alan Kruss, Joseph Gotelli, and Steven Permut


Performance Summary

California High-Yield Municipal returned 10.27%* for the 12 months ended August 31, 2016, outperforming the investment-grade Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index, which returned 6.88%. Fund returns reflect operating expenses, while index returns do not.

The fund’s absolute return for the reporting period reflected the positive overall performance of municipal bonds (munis) and California and high-yield munis in particular. The muni market generally rallied, posting a positive total return in each of the 12 months and outperforming the U.S. Treasury market and the broad taxable investment-grade U.S. fixed-income market for the entire period. In addition to benefiting from a favorable backdrop for U.S. fixed-income securitieswhich included declining interest rates and muted inflationmunis advanced on stable credit trends, positive flows, and other supportive supply/demand factors.

Favorable Fixed-Income Backdrop, Muni Market Dynamics Fueled Gains

Investor concerns about global growth, commodity prices, and central bank monetary decisions generated volatility during the 12-month period. The U.S. economy continued to exhibit modest growth, particularly compared with the rest of the developed world, but the U.S. Federal Reserve (the Fed) remained focused on the sluggish global landscape and its potential risks to the U.S. economy. This triggered ongoing investor speculation regarding the timing and magnitude of Fed interest rate “normalization” and contributed to the volatile climate. However, the Fed implemented only one rate hike during the perioda 25 basis point increase (1 basis point equals 0.01%) on December 16, 2015, which pushed the range for the federal funds rate target to 0.25%-0.50%.

Despite expectations for additional rate hikes in 2016, the Fed cited concerns about the health of the global economy, the uncertainty triggered by the U.K. vote in late June to exit the European Union (Brexit), and weaker-than-expected U.S. economic growth as reasons to pursue a “lower for longer” rate strategy. Meanwhile, central banks in Europe, Japan, and China continued to implement aggressive stimulus programs in response to weak growth rates and deflation threats in those regions. This action increased the relative attractiveness of the U.S. bond market, where yields were generally higher.

This environment led to positive performance for U.S. Treasuries and other U.S. bond market sectors. Munis generally tracked the U.S. Treasury market, but factors specific to the municipal market helped munis outperform. In particular, supply and demand dynamics remained favorable and supported gains. Overall supply increased only slightly, while demand for munis remained robust due to the tax advantages and perceived “safe-haven” munis offered investors. As of August 31, 2016, muni funds experienced 48 consecutive weeks of positive flows, according to Lipper Inc.

Overall, all major sectors of the muni bond market posted positive returns for the 12-month period, according to Bloomberg Barclays. Reflecting investor demand for yield, longer-maturity and lower-quality munis generally performed better than shorter-maturity and higher-quality securities. In addition, revenue bonds outperformed general obligation (GO) bonds.

State and National Fiscal, Credit Backdrops Were Generally Positive

State and local finances in California and across the U.S. remained relatively healthy, even as tax revenue growth slowed due to stock market volatility. Spending restraint enabled most states, including California, to maintain stable credit profiles. Furthermore, California’s job growth outpaced the national average, and the state’s housing market continued to improve. In addition, state officials reported $7.3 billion in reserves at the end of fiscal year 2016 and projected reserves would climb to $8.5 billion by the end of fiscal year 2017. Also, in August 2016, Fitch Ratings upgraded California’s bond credit rating from “A+” to “AA-.”

From a national credit rating perspective, downgrades outpaced upgrades in the second calendar quarter of 2016, largely due to troubled credits in Illinois and Michigan. Overall, the national muni default rate remained low. We continue to believe it is unlikely any states will default, but special circumstances may continue to pressure isolated state, local, and commonwealth credit ratings, such as those in Puerto Rico, Illinois, New Jersey, and Michigan.

California and Lower-Quality Biases, Maturity Strategy Drove Outperformance

Our bias toward California munis and lower-quality securities compared with the national investment-grade index primarily contributed to the portfolio’s outperformance. We continued to increase the portfolio’s allocation to below-investment-grade and non-rated securities, particularly within the tobacco, health care, and land-secured sectors. These and other California high-yield munis generally benefited from a stable credit environment, which led to spread tightening (a decrease in the yield differential between higher-quality and lower-quality munis of similar maturity) and robust returns during the reporting period.

In addition, we maintained a flattening bias with respect to the portfolio’s yield-curve positioning, holding more exposure to longer-maturity munis than the index. This strategy aided relative performance as yields on longer-maturity securities declined more than yields on shorter-maturity munis, causing the muni yield curve to flatten. The portfolio’s duration (price sensitivity to interest rate changes), which was slightly longer than the index’s, also lifted performance in this yield environment.

Elsewhere, we continued to favor revenue bonds over GO bonds, which lifted performance. Within the revenue sector, security selection among tobacco, hospital, and special tax bonds aided results. Conversely, security selection among toll roads detracted from relative performance.

Focus on Yield in Range-Bound Market

We believe U.S. economic fundamentals support slightly higher interest rates. But low inflation, weaker global economic fundamentals, low interest rates in Europe and Japan, weak commodity prices, a strong U.S. dollar, and geopolitical uncertainty (particularly in the wake of the Brexit vote) will, in our view, likely keep Fed action slow and data dependent, and keep rates range-bound in the near term. For this reason, we are comfortable maintaining a slightly longer-than-average duration—a strategy that has helped enhance the portfolio’s yield. We also believe volatility may escalate ahead of the November U.S. presidential election, and such volatility may cause credit spreads to widen. This potential backdrop may present compelling buying opportunities among lower-quality credits. In this environment, we believe fundamental credit research, active management, and security selection will become increasingly important.

Shareholder Fee Example

Fund shareholders may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and redemption/exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service (12b-1) fees; and other fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in your fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing cost of investing in other mutual funds.

The example is based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from March 1, 2016 to August 31, 2016.

Actual Expenses

The table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses for each class. You may use the information, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. First, identify the share class you own. Then simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

If you hold Investor Class shares of any American Century Investments fund, or Institutional Class shares of the American Century Diversified Bond Fund, in an American Century Investments account (i.e., not a financial intermediary or retirement plan account), American Century Investments may charge you a $12.50 semiannual account maintenance fee if the value of those shares is less than $10,000. We will redeem shares automatically in one of your accounts to pay the $12.50 fee. In determining your total eligible investment amount, we will include your investments in all personal accounts (including American Century Investments Brokerage accounts) registered under your Social Security number. Personal accounts include individual accounts, joint accounts, UGMA/UTMA accounts, personal trusts, Coverdell Education Savings Accounts and IRAs (including traditional, Roth, Rollover, SEP-, SARSEP- and SIMPLE-IRAs), and certain other retirement accounts. If you have only business, business retirement, employer-sponsored or American Century Investments Brokerage accounts, you are currently not subject to this fee. If you are subject to the Account Maintenance Fee, your account value could be reduced by the fee amount.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The table also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual expense ratio of each class of your fund and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the actual return of a fund’s share class. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption/exchange fees. Therefore, the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Notes to Financial Statements
 
AUGUST 31, 2016

1. Organization

American Century California Tax-Free and Municipal Funds (the trust) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company and is organized as a Massachusetts business trust. California High-Yield Municipal Fund (the fund) is one fund in a series issued by the trust. The fund’s investment objective is to seek high current income that is exempt from federal and California income taxes.

The fund offers the Investor Class, the Institutional Class, the A Class and the C Class. The A Class may incur an initial sales charge. The A Class and C Class may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge. The share classes differ principally in their respective sales charges and distribution and shareholder servicing expenses and arrangements. The Institutional Class is made available to institutional shareholders or through financial intermediaries whose clients do not require the same level of shareholder and administrative services as shareholders of other classes. As a result, the Institutional Class is charged a lower unified management fee.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the fund in preparation of its financial statements. The fund is an investment company and follows accounting and reporting guidance in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. This may require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Management evaluated the impact of events or transactions occurring through the date the financial statements were issued that would merit recognition or disclosure.

Investment Valuations — The fund determines the fair value of its investments and computes its net asset value per share at the close of regular trading (usually 4 p.m. Eastern time) on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on each day the NYSE is open. The Board of Trustees has adopted valuation policies and procedures to guide the investment advisor in the fund’s investment valuation process and to provide methodologies for the oversight of the fund’s pricing function.

Fixed income securities are valued at the evaluated mean as provided by independent pricing services or at the mean of the most recent bid and asked prices as provided by investment dealers. Municipal securities are valued using market models that consider trade data, quotations from dealers and active market makers, relevant yield curve and spread data, creditworthiness, trade data or market information on comparable securities, and other relevant security specific information.
 
Open-end management investment companies are valued at the reported net asset value per share. Exchange-traded futures contracts are valued at the settlement price as provided by the appropriate clearing corporation.

If the fund determines that the market price for an investment is not readily available or the valuation methods mentioned above do not reflect an investment’s fair value, such investment is valued as determined in good faith by the Board of Trustees or its delegate, in accordance with policies and procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. In its determination of fair value, the fund may review several factors including, but not limited to, market information regarding the specific investment or comparable investments and correlation with other investment types, futures indices or general market indicators. Circumstances that may cause the fund to use these procedures to value an investment include, but are not limited to: an investment has been declared in default or is distressed; trading in a security has been suspended during the trading day or a security is not actively trading on its principal exchange; prices received from a regular pricing source are deemed unreliable; or there is a foreign market holiday and no trading occurred.
 
The fund monitors for significant events occurring after the close of an investment’s primary exchange but before the fund’s net asset value per share is determined. Significant events may include, but are not limited to: corporate announcements and transactions; governmental action and political unrest that could impact a specific investment or an investment sector; or armed conflicts, natural disasters and similar events that could affect investments in a specific country or region.
 

28



Security Transactions — Security transactions are accounted for as of the trade date. Net realized gains and losses are determined on the identified cost basis, which is also used for federal income tax purposes.
 
Investment Income — Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis and includes accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums.

Segregated Assets — In accordance with the 1940 Act, the fund segregates assets on its books and records to cover certain types of investments, including, but not limited to, futures contracts and when-issued securities. American Century Investment Management, Inc. (ACIM) (the investment advisor) monitors, on a daily basis, the securities segregated to ensure the fund designates a sufficient amount of liquid assets, marked-to-market daily. The fund may also receive assets or be required to pledge assets at the custodian bank or with a broker for margin requirements on futures contracts.

Income Tax Status — It is the fund’s policy to distribute substantially all net investment income and net realized gains to shareholders and to otherwise qualify as a regulated investment company under provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, no provision has been made for income taxes. The fund files U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S. tax returns as applicable. The fund's tax returns are subject to examination by the relevant taxing authority until expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, which is generally three years from the date of filing but can be longer in certain jurisdictions. At this time, management believes there are no uncertain tax positions which, based on their technical merit, would not be sustained upon examination and for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.

Multiple Class — All shares of the fund represent an equal pro rata interest in the net assets of the class to which such shares belong, and have identical voting, dividend, liquidation and other rights and the same terms and conditions, except for class specific expenses and exclusive rights to vote on matters affecting only individual classes. Income, non-class specific expenses, and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses of the fund are allocated to each class of shares based on their relative net assets.

Distributions to Shareholders — Distributions from net investment income, if any, are declared daily and paid monthly. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are generally declared and paid annually.
 
Indemnifications — Under the trust’s organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the fund. In addition, in the normal course of business, the fund enters into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against a fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered by management to be remote.

3. Fees and Transactions with Related Parties

Certain officers and trustees of the trust are also officers and/or directors of American Century Companies, Inc. (ACC). The trust's investment advisor, ACIM, the trust's distributor, American Century Investment Services, Inc. (ACIS), and the trust's transfer agent, American Century Services, LLC, are wholly owned, directly or indirectly, by ACC.
 
Management Fees — The trust has entered into a management agreement with ACIM, under which ACIM provides the fund with investment advisory and management services in exchange for a single, unified management fee (the fee) per class. The agreement provides that all expenses of managing and operating the fund, except distribution and service fees, brokerage expenses, taxes, interest, fees and expenses of the independent trustees (including legal counsel fees), and extraordinary expenses, will be paid by ACIM. The fee is computed and accrued daily based on each class’s daily net assets and paid monthly in arrears. The fee consists of (1) an Investment Category Fee based on the daily net assets of the fund and certain other accounts managed by the investment advisor that are in the same broad investment category as the fund and (2) a Complex Fee based on the assets of all the funds in the American Century Investments family of funds. The rates for the Investment Category Fee range from 0.1925% to 0.3100%. The rates for the Complex Fee range from 0.2500% to 0.3100% for the Investor Class, A Class and C Class. The rates for the Complex Fee range from 0.0500% to 0.1100% for the Institutional Class. The effective annual management fee for each class for the year ended August 31, 2016 was 0.49% for the Investor Class, A Class and C Class and 0.29% for the Institutional Class.

Distribution and Service Fees — The Board of Trustees has adopted a separate Master Distribution and Individual Shareholder Services Plan for each of the A Class and C Class (collectively the plans), pursuant to Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act. The plans provide that the A Class will pay ACIS an annual distribution and

29



service fee of 0.25%. The plans provide that the C Class will pay ACIS an annual distribution and service fee of 1.00%, of which 0.25% is paid for individual shareholder services and 0.75% is paid for distribution services. The fees are computed and accrued daily based on each class’s daily net assets and paid monthly in arrears. The fees are used to pay financial intermediaries for distribution and individual shareholder services. Fees incurred under the plans during the year ended August 31, 2016 are detailed in the Statement of Operations.

Trustees’ Fees and Expenses — The Board of Trustees is responsible for overseeing the investment advisor’s management and operations of the fund. The trustees receive detailed information about the fund and its investment advisor regularly throughout the year, and meet at least quarterly with management of the investment advisor to review reports about fund operations. The fund’s officers do not receive compensation from the fund.
 
Interfund Transactions — The fund may enter into security transactions with other American Century Investments funds and other client accounts of the investment advisor, in accordance with the 1940 Act rules and procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. The rules and procedures require, among other things, that these transactions be effected at the independent current market price of the security. During the period, the interfund purchases and sales were $29,390,000 and $19,100,000, respectively. The interfund transactions had no effect on the Statement of Operations in net realized gain (loss) on investment transactions.
 
4. Investment Transactions

Purchases and sales of investment securities, excluding short-term investments, for the year ended August 31, 2016 were $455,801,843 and $188,781,606, respectively.

6. Fair Value Measurements

The fund’s investments valuation process is based on several considerations and may use multiple inputs to determine the fair value of the investments held by the fund. In conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the inputs used to determine a valuation are classified into three broad levels.

Level 1 valuation inputs consist of unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical investments.

Level 2 valuation inputs consist of direct or indirect observable market data (including quoted prices for comparable investments, evaluations of subsequent market events, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.). These inputs also consist of quoted prices for identical investments initially expressed in local currencies that are adjusted through translation into U.S. dollars.

Level 3 valuation inputs consist of unobservable data (including a fund’s own assumptions).

The level classification is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair valuation measurement. The valuation inputs are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in these securities or other financial instruments. There were no significant transfers between levels during the period.

As of period end, the fund’s investment securities were classified as Level 2. The Schedule of Investments provides additional information on the fund’s portfolio holdings.

7. Derivative Instruments

Interest Rate Risk — The fund is subject to interest rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The value of bonds generally declines as interest rates rise. A fund may enter into futures contracts based on a bond index or a specific underlying security. A fund may purchase futures contracts to gain exposure to increases in market value or sell futures contracts to protect against a decline in market value. Upon entering into a futures contract, a fund will segregate cash, cash equivalents or other appropriate liquid securities on its records in amounts sufficient to meet requirements. Subsequent payments (variation margin) are made or received daily, in cash, by a fund. The variation margin is equal to the daily change in the contract value and is recorded as unrealized gains and losses. A fund recognizes a realized gain or loss when the futures contract is closed or expires. Net realized and unrealized gains or losses occurring during the holding period of futures contracts are a component of net realized gain (loss) on futures contract transactions and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on futures contracts, respectively. One of the risks of entering into futures contracts is the possibility that the change in value of the contract may not correlate with the changes in value of the underlying securities. The fund's average exposure to interest rate risk derivative instruments held during the period was 37 contracts.
 
At period end, the fund did not have any derivative instruments disclosed on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. For the year ended August 31, 2016, the effect of interest rate risk derivative instruments on the Statement of Operations was $69,766 in net realized gain (loss) on futures contract transactions and $(78,527) in change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on futures contracts.
 
8. Risk Factors

The fund focuses its investments in a single state and therefore may have more exposure to credit risk related to the state of California than a fund with a broader geographical diversification. The fund invests in lower-rated debt securities, which are subject to substantial risks including liquidity risk and credit risk.

9. Federal Tax Information

The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended August 31, 2016 and August 31, 2015 were as follows:
 
2016
2015
Distributions Paid From
 
 
Exempt income
$
34,055,922

$
31,004,444

Taxable ordinary income

$
47,808

Long-term capital gains



The book-basis character of distributions made during the year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. These differences reflect the differing character of certain income items and net realized gains and losses for financial statement and tax purposes, and may result in reclassification among certain capital accounts on the financial statements.
 
As of August 31, 2016, the federal tax cost of investments and the components of distributable earnings on a tax-basis were as follows:
Federal tax cost of investments
$
1,065,528,515

Gross tax appreciation of investments

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Trustees of the American Century California Tax-Free and Municipal Funds and Shareholders of the California High-Yield Municipal Fund:

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the California High-Yield Municipal Fund (one of the four funds in the American Century California Tax-Free and Municipal Funds, hereafter referred to as the "Fund") at August 31, 2016, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at August 31, 2016 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Management

Board of Trustees
The individuals listed below serve as trustees of the funds. Each trustee will continue to serve in this capacity until death, retirement, resignation or removal from office. The board has adopted a mandatory retirement age for trustees who are not “interested persons,” as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act (independent trustees). Independent trustees shall retire on December 31 of the year in which they reach their 75th birthday; provided, however, that on or after January 1, 2022, independent trustees shall retire on December 31 of the year in which they reach their 76th birthday.
Mr. Thomas is an “interested person” because he currently serves as President and Chief Executive Officer of American Century Companies, Inc. (ACC), the parent company of American Century Investment Management, Inc. (ACIM or the advisor). The other trustees (more than three-fourths of the total number) are independent. They are not employees, directors or officers of, and have no financial interest in, ACC or any of its wholly owned, direct or indirect, subsidiaries, including ACIM, American Century Investment Services, Inc. (ACIS) and American Century Services, LLC (ACS), and they do not have any other affiliations, positions or relationships that would cause them to be considered “interested persons” under the Investment Company Act. The trustees serve in this capacity for eight (in the case of Mr. Thomas, 15) registered investment companies in the American Century Investments family of funds.
The following table presents additional information about the trustees. The mailing address for each trustee other than Mr. Thomas is 1665 Charleston Road, Mountain View, California 94043. The mailing address for Mr. Thomas is 4500 Main Street, Kansas City, Missouri 64111.

Approval of Management Agreement


At a meeting held on June 14, 2016, the Fund’s Board of Trustees (the "Board") unanimously approved the renewal of the management agreement pursuant to which American Century Investment Management, Inc. (the “Advisor”) acts as the investment advisor for the Fund. Under Section 15(c) of the Investment Company Act, contracts for investment advisory services are required to be reviewed, evaluated, and approved by a majority of a fund’s directors/trustees, including a majority of the independent Trustees, each year. The Board regards this annual evaluation and renewal as one of its most important responsibilities.

The independent Trustees have memorialized a statement regarding the relationship between their ongoing obligations to oversee and evaluate the performance of the Advisor and their annual consideration of renewal of the management agreement. In that statement, the independent Trustees noted that their assessment of the Advisor’s performance is an ongoing process that takes place over the entire year and is informed by all of the extensive information that the Board and its committees receive and consider over time. This information, together with the additional materials provided specifically in connection with the review, are central to the Board’s assessment of the Advisor’s performance and its determination whether to renew the Fund’s management agreement.

Prior to its consideration of the renewal of the management agreement, the Board requested and reviewed extensive data and analysis relating to the proposed renewal. This information and analysis was compiled by the Advisor and certain independent providers of evaluation data concerning the Fund and the services provided to the Fund by the Advisor.

In connection with its consideration of the renewal of the management agreement, the Board’s review and evaluation of the services provided by the Advisor included, but was not limited to, the following:

the nature, extent, and quality of investment management, shareholder services, and other services provided by the Advisor to the Fund;
the wide range of other programs and services the Advisor provides to the Fund and its shareholders on a routine and non-routine basis;
the investment performance of the Fund, including data comparing the Fund’s performance to appropriate benchmarks and/or a peer group of other mutual funds with similar investment objectives and strategies;
the cost of owning the Fund compared to the cost of owning similar funds;
the Advisor’s compliance policies, procedures, and regulatory experience;
financial data showing the cost of services provided to the Fund, the profitability of the Fund to the Advisor, and the overall profitability of the Advisor;
possible economies of scale associated with the Advisor’s management of the Fund and other accounts under its management;
data comparing services provided and charges to other investment management clients of the Advisor;
acquired fund fees and expenses;
payments by the Fund and the Advisor to financial intermediaries whose clients are investors in the Fund; and
any collateral benefits derived by the Advisor from the management of the Fund.

In keeping with its practice, the Board held two in-person meetings to review and discuss the information provided in response to their request. The independent Trustees also had the benefit of the advice of their independent counsel throughout the process.


39



Factors Considered

The Trustees considered all of the information provided by the Advisor, the independent data providers, and the independent Trustees’ independent counsel in connection with the approval. They determined that the information was sufficient for them to evaluate the management agreement for the Fund. In connection with their review, the Trustees did not identify any single factor as being all-important or controlling and each Trustee may have attributed different levels of importance to different factors. In deciding to renew the management agreement, the Board based its decision on a number of factors, including the following:

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services - Generally. Under the management agreement, the Advisor is responsible for providing or arranging for all services necessary for the operation of the Fund. The Board noted that under the management agreement, the Advisor provides or arranges at its own expense a wide variety of services including:

constructing and designing the Fund
portfolio research and security selection
initial capitalization/funding
securities trading
Fund administration
custody of Fund assets
daily valuation of the Fund’s portfolio
shareholder servicing and transfer agency, including shareholder confirmations, recordkeeping, and communications
legal services (except the independent Trustees’ counsel)
regulatory and portfolio compliance
financial reporting
marketing and distribution (except amounts paid by the Fund under Rule 12b-1 plans)

The Board noted that many of these services have expanded over time in terms of both quantity and complexity in response to shareholder demands, competition in the industry, changing distribution channels, and the changing regulatory environment.

Investment Management, Shareholder, and Other Services. The nature of the investment management services provided to the Fund is quite complex and allows Fund shareholders access to professional money management, instant diversification of their investments within an asset class, the opportunity to easily diversify among asset classes by investing in or exchanging among various American Century Investments funds, and liquidity. In evaluating investment performance, the Board expects the Advisor to manage the Fund in accordance with its investment objectives and approved strategies. Further, the Trustees recognize that the Advisor has an obligation to seek the best execution of fund trades. In providing these services, the Advisor utilizes teams of investment professionals (portfolio managers, analysts, research assistants, and securities traders) who require extensive information technology, research, training, compliance, and other systems to conduct their business. The Board, directly and through its Portfolio Committee, regularly reviews investment performance information for the Fund, together with comparative information for appropriate benchmarks and/or peer groups of similarly-managed funds, over different time horizons. The Trustees also review detailed performance information during the management agreement approval process. If performance concerns are identified, the Fund receives special reviews until performance improves, during which the Board discusses with the Advisor the reasons for such results (e.g., market conditions, security selection) and any efforts being undertaken to improve performance. The Fund’s performance was below its benchmark for the one-, three-, five-, and ten-year periods reviewed by the Board. The Board discussed the Fund’s performance with the Advisor and was satisfied with the efforts being undertaken by the Advisor. The Board found the investment management services provided by the Advisor to the Fund to be satisfactory and consistent with the management agreement.


40



Under the management agreement, the Advisor provides the Fund with a comprehensive package of transfer agency, shareholder, and other services. The Board, directly and through various committees of the Board, regularly reviews reports and evaluations of such services at its regular meetings. These reports include, but are not limited to, information regarding the operational efficiency and accuracy of the shareholder and transfer agency services provided, staffing levels, shareholder satisfaction (as measured by external as well as internal sources), technology support, new products and services offered to Fund shareholders, securities trading activities, portfolio valuation services, auditing services, and legal and operational compliance activities. Certain aspects of shareholder and transfer agency service level efficiency and the quality of securities trading activities are measured by independent third party providers and are presented in comparison to other fund groups not managed by the Advisor.

The Board found the services provided by the Advisor to the Fund under the management agreement to be competitive and of high quality.

Costs of Services and Profitability. The Advisor provides detailed information concerning its cost of providing various services to the Fund, its profitability in managing the Fund, its overall profitability, and its financial condition. The Trustees have reviewed with the Advisor the methodology used to prepare this financial information. This information is considered in evaluating the Advisor’s financial condition, its ability to continue to provide services under the management agreement, and the reasonableness of the current management fee. The Board concluded that the Advisor’s profits were reasonable in light of the services provided to the Fund.

Economies of Scale. The Board also reviewed information provided by the Advisor regarding the possible existence of economies of scale in connection with the management of the Fund. The Board concluded that economies of scale are difficult to measure and predict with precision, especially on a fund-by-fund basis. The Board concluded that the Advisor is appropriately sharing economies of scale through its competitive fee structure, offering competitive fees from fund inception, and through reinvestment in its business to provide shareholders enhanced and expanded services.

Comparison to Other Funds’ Fees. The management agreement provides that the Fund pays the Advisor a single, all-inclusive (or unified) management fee for providing all services necessary for the management and operation of the Fund, other than brokerage expenses, expenses attributable to short sales, taxes, interest, extraordinary expenses, the fees and expenses of the Fund’s independent Trustees (including their independent legal counsel), and expenses incurred in connection with the provision of shareholder services and distribution services under a plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Under the unified fee structure, the Advisor is responsible for providing all investment advisory, custody, audit, administrative, compliance, recordkeeping, marketing, and shareholder services, or arranging and supervising third parties to provide such services. By contrast, most other funds are charged a variety of fees, including an investment advisory fee, a transfer agency fee, an administrative fee, distribution charges, and other expenses. Other than their investment advisory fees and any applicable Rule 12b-1 fees, all other components of the total fees charged by these other funds may be increased without shareholder approval. The Board believes the unified fee structure is a benefit to Fund shareholders because it clearly discloses to shareholders the cost of owning Fund shares, and, since the unified fee cannot be increased without a vote of Fund shareholders, it shifts to the Advisor the risk of increased costs of operating the Fund and provides a direct incentive to minimize administrative inefficiencies. Part of the Board’s analysis of fee levels involves reviewing certain evaluative data compiled by an independent provider and comparing the Fund’s unified fee to the total expense ratio of peer funds. The unified fee charged to shareholders of the Fund was below the median of the total expense ratios of the Fund’s peer group. The Board concluded that the management fee paid by the Fund to the Advisor under the management agreement is reasonable in light of the services provided to the Fund.


41



Comparison to Fees and Services Provided to Other Clients of the Advisor. The Board also requested and received information from the Advisor concerning the nature of the services, fees, costs, and profitability of its advisory services to advisory clients other than the Fund. They observed that these varying types of client accounts require different services and involve different regulatory and entrepreneurial risks than the management of the Fund. The Board analyzed this information and concluded that the fees charged and services provided to the Fund were reasonable by comparison.

Payments to Intermediaries. The Trustees also requested and received a description of payments made to intermediaries by the Fund and the Advisor. These payments include various payments made by the Fund or the Advisor to different types of intermediaries and recordkeepers for distribution and service activities provided for the Fund.

Collateral or “Fall-Out” Benefits Derived by the Advisor. The Board considered the existence of collateral benefits the Advisor may receive as a result of its relationship with the Fund. The Board noted that the Advisor’s primary business is managing mutual funds and it generally does not use fund or shareholder information to generate profits in other lines of business, and therefore does not derive any significant collateral benefits from them. The Board noted that the Advisor receives proprietary research from broker-dealers that execute fund portfolio transactions. The Board also determined that the Advisor is able to provide investment management services to certain clients other than the Fund, at least in part, due to its existing infrastructure built to serve the fund complex. The Board concluded, however, that the assets of those other clients are not material to the analysis and, where applicable, may be included with the assets of the Fund to determine breakpoints in the management fee schedule.

Existing Relationship. The Board also considered whether there was any reason for not continuing the existing arrangement with the Advisor. In this regard, the Board was mindful of the potential disruptions of the Fund’s operations and various risks, uncertainties, and other effects that could occur as a result of a decision not to continue such relationship. In particular, the Board recognized that most shareholders have invested in the Fund on the strength of the Advisor’s industry standing and reputation and in the expectation that the Advisor will have a continuing role in providing advisory services to the Fund.

Conclusion of the Trustees. As a result of this process, the Board, including all of the independent Trustees and assisted by the advice of independent legal counsel, taking into account all of the factors discussed above and the information provided by the Advisor and others in connection with its review and throughout the year, concluded that the management agreement between the Fund and the Advisor is fair and reasonable in light of the services provided and should be renewed.
