President’s Letter 


Dear Investor:

Thank you for taking time to review the following pages, which provide investment performance and portfolio information for the financial reporting period ended February 28, 2010, along with the perspective and commentary of our experienced portfolio management team. We appreciate your trust in American Century Investments at this volatile, transitional time in the economy and investment markets.

As the upheavals associated with the “Great Recession” gradually subside, our senior management team has put considerable thought into how the investment environment has changed and what challenges and opportunities await us. Critical factors that we are anticipating in 2010 include marked shifts in investment and spending behavior compared with the past decade, along with consolidation in our industry.

Most importantly, we think the U.S. economic recovery will be slow and extended. The economy and capital markets have come a long way since Lehman Brothers collapsed in the third quarter of 2008, but 2010 will likely bring continuing challenges. The U.S. stock market’s rebound since last March and the second-half economic surge in 2009 were fueled largely by corporate cost-cutting and unprecedented monetary and fiscal stimulus, including some key programs that have since expired or been scaled back.

Meanwhile, the resilient but struggling consumer sector still faces high unemployment, heavy debt burdens, tight credit conditions, and a housing market that is starting to stabilize, but remains vulnerable. Much of our investment positioning in 2009 cautiously reflected these still unstable economic fundamentals, leading to underperformance, in some cases, versus market benchmarks buoyed by the rally of riskier assets. We still support our fundamentally based positioning because we believe strongly that some markets—driven more by technical factors than fundamentals—have advanced further than underlying economic conditions warrant, and remain susceptible to the possibility of more volatility ahead.

Thank you for your continued confidence in us.

Sincerely,


Jonathan Thomas
President and Chief Executive Officer
American Century Investments

Market Perspective 


By David MacEwen, Chief Investment Officer, Fixed Income

Economic, Market Conditions Improved

Municipal bonds produced positive returns during the six months ended February 28, 2010 (see the table below), when the U.S. economy and financial markets continued to rebound from the depths of the credit crisis. Gross domestic product expanded at an estimated 5.6% annual rate in the fourth quarter of 2009, inflation was tame, and home prices stabilized; however, the unemployment rate ended February at 9.7% and bank lending—a key driver of economic growth—remained weak. In that environment, the Federal Reserve held its short-term rate target at 0% to keep credit cheap and readily available.

Better economic and market conditions helped municipal bonds outperform Treasuries. Riskier securities such as high-yield bonds that did worst in the credit crisis performed best in the last six months. Technical (supply and demand) factors also contributed to tax-free municipal bond outperformance, as mutual fund flows remained positive while tax-exempt municipal supply was limited by the Build America Bond program, a federal government program intended to lower borrowing costs and improve access to capital for municipalities. This program took many newly issued bonds out of the municipal market and put them in the taxable universe.

California Municipals Lagged National Averages

Worries about the health of California’s economy and resulting impact on municipal credit quality meant bonds issued by the state and local municipalities underperformed national averages. Indeed, in January, credit rating agency Standard & Poor’s downgraded the state’s tax-supported general obligation (GO) debt rating from A to A–. Despite the downgrade, it is important to point out that we believe California is highly unlikely to default (miss payments) on its GO debt. California’s GO debt continues to be rated “investment grade” by all three big rating agencies, and the state’s constitution requires it to pay debt service on its GO bonds, which have second claim to all general fund revenues behind only education. And, as a state, California cannot file for bankruptcy, nor can it disappear, as can a corporate credit.

Portfolio Commentary 

California Long-Term Tax-Free

Portfolio Managers: David MacEwen, Joseph Gotelli, and Steven Permut

Performance Summary

California Long-Term Tax-Free returned 3.49%* for the six months ended February 28, 2010. By comparison, the Barclays Capital Long-Term Municipal Bond Index returned 5.66%. The average return of the California Municipal Debt Funds tracked by Lipper was 5.39% for the same period.

The portfolio’s absolute returns reflect the solid performance of municipal bonds over the six-month period (see the Market Perspective on page 3). Relative to the Barclays Capital Long-Term Municipal Bond Index, the portfolio underperformed because of its relatively short duration (reduced price sensitivity to rate changes) and our tendency to favor premium bonds (those with coupons above the prevailing rate) in a period when the longest-term, lowest-coupon bonds performed best.

Relative to the Lipper peer group (which includes both investment-grade and high-yield funds), we believe some of our credit and sector selection decisions explain the underperformance for the six months. Nevertheless, our long-term management approach has resulted in California Long-Term Tax-Free outpacing the Lipper group average return for the five- and 10-year periods ended February 28 (see page 4).

Credit and Sector Allocation Had Mixed Results

We believe we were overweight higher-quality securities and underweight bonds rated BBB relative to our peers, holding more than 50% of assets in securities rated AAA and AA as of February 28. That positioning was key to the portfolio’s outperformance of the Lipper group during the credit crisis, but detracted modestly from relative results in the last six months, when lower-rated bonds did best.

In addition, our long-term, relative-value approach to investing led us to add state general obligation (GO) bonds trading at historically wide yield spreads (meaning they were as cheap relative to high-grade municipals as they’ve ever been), providing a favorable long-term risk/reward trade-off in our view. The bonds trailed other segments of the municipal market in recent months because of concern about California’s economy and budget. We think those concerns are overstated—we believe a default (missed payment) by the state is highly unlikely for many reasons, including the fact that California cannot file for bankruptcy, it is constitutionally required to pay debt service on its GO bonds, and GO debt is second only to education in its claim on all general fund revenues. Holding these bonds dampened recent relative performance—as did an underweight position in tobacco bonds and those issued by gas utilities—but we still like their long-term potential.

At the other end of the spectrum, it was beneficial to be underrepresented in prerefunded securities, which lagged. At the same time, we held an overweight stake in health care and hospital securities, which performed relatively well for the six months.

California Long-Term Tax-Free

Changes to Portfolio Positioning

We implemented a yield curve flattening trade using two- and 30-year Treasury futures (the trade was based on the expectation that the yield difference, or spread, between two- and 30-year securities would narrow going forward). We put the trade on in late 2009 when the slope of the Treasury yield curve approached record levels of steepness.

Similarly, we implemented a trade designed to capitalize on the changing yield relationship between Treasury and municipal bonds, a “yield ratio” trade. We put the ratio trade in effect at a time when long-term municipal bond yields exceeded Treasury yields, a rare occurrence. The trade was based on our expectation that municipals would outperform Treasuries, and the yield difference between the two would move toward their normal historical relationship, with municipals yielding less than Treasuries. Municipals outperformed Treasuries, and the ratio declined, so we took our profits and exited this trade in late 2009.

Outlook

“We’re positive on the municipal market over time, but credit concerns and headline risk (bad publicity resulting from the state’s budget and economic situation) present near-term challenges,” said Steven Permut, leader of the municipal bond team at American Century Investments. “In the long run, we think tax rates have to rise, making municipal bonds’ tax advantages even more appealing. The supply of tax-exempt municipal bonds is also likely to be constrained for the foreseeable future by the Build America Bond program, while demand should be supported by the attractive tax-free yields municipal bonds offer relative to cash and fully taxable investments. We also expect the municipal market to benefit from changes currently under way at the big credit rating agencies, which should better recognize the comparatively high quality of municipal investments. Having said that, economic challenges remain. To be clear, we do not expect wholesale municipal bond defaults, but select issuers could face rating downgrades. We think these conditions put a premium on careful credit analysis and individual security selection—what we believe are two strengths of our management approach.”

Portfolio Commentary 

California High-Yield Municipal

Portfolio Manager: Steven Permut

Performance Summary

For the six months ended February 28, 2010, California High-Yield Municipal returned 7.21%.* By comparison, the Barclays Capital Long-Term Municipal Bond Index—an investment-grade municipal index—and the Barclays Capital Non-Investment-Grade Municipal Bond Index, a municipal high-yield measure, gained 5.66% and 12.89%,** respectively. At the same time, the California Municipal Debt Funds tracked by Lipper—which includes both investment grade and high-yield funds—had an average return of 5.39%. See page 9 for additional performance comparisons.

Credit Allocation Key

The single most important determinant of the portfolio’s relative performance was its credit allocation. The portfolio holds about half its assets in securities rated A or higher, with the other half in bonds rated BBB and below or not rated. In a period when lower-quality bonds beat those with higher credit ratings, the portfolio’s credit allocation meant it outperformed the peer group average and Barclays Capital Long-Term Municipal Bond Index. However, our stake in investment-grade bonds meant that the portfolio lagged the Barclays Capital Non-Investment-Grade Municipal Bond Index.

Sector Allocation Contributed

Just as the lowest-rated securities generally did best in the last six months, so too did bonds from sectors that underperformed during the credit crisis. The key example here is land-secured debt—the portfolio holds about a quarter of assets in land-based deals. These securities underperformed by a wide margin in 2008 as the housing market slumped, economic growth faltered, and liquidity evaporated from the municipal market. And they continued to underperform during the early stages of the recovery in 2009 because these tend to be lower-volatility securities that lag more liquid (easily bought and sold), higher-beta securities. But they did much better in recent months as the economy and housing market improved. It’s also worth pointing out that we tend to favor what we consider to be higher-quality, well structured, “seasoned” land deals that are largely built out (not undeveloped land) and therefore supported by taxpaying residents.

Changes to Portfolio Positioning

We manage the portfolio using a long-term, relative-value approach to investing, looking for what we believe to be high-quality assets trading at temporarily depressed prices, or opportunities that present attractive risk/reward trade-offs. With that in mind, we put in place a yield curve flattening trade using two- and 30-year Treasury futures (the trade was based on the expectation that the yield difference, or spread, between two- and 30-year securities would narrow going forward). We implemented the trade in late 2009 when the slope of the Treasury yield curve approached record levels of steepness.

Similarly, we implemented a trade designed to capitalize on the changing yield relationship between Treasury and municipal bonds, a “yield ratio” trade. We put the ratio trade in effect at a time when long-term municipal bond yields exceeded Treasury yields, a rare occurrence. The trade was based on our expectation that municipals would outperform Treasuries, and the yield difference between the two would move toward their normal historical relationship, with municipals yielding less than Treasuries. Municipals outperformed Treasuries, and the ratio declined, so we took our profits and exited this trade in late 2009.

In addition, we increased our exposure to higher-coupon municipal bonds that are likely to be pre-refunded and benefit from a rating upgrade. (Prerefunded bonds have their principal amount offset by an escrow account—often invested in Treasuries—and typically see their credit rating revised up to reflect this fact.) Finally, we continued to improve the portfolio’s diversification by sector (reducing our large stake in land-secured debt in favor of health care and essential-service bonds) and by position size (reducing individual holdings to no more than 1–2% of assets) in this challenging economic, market, and housing environment.

Outlook

“We’re positive on the municipal market over time, but credit concerns and headline risk (bad publicity resulting from the state’s budget and economic situation) present near-term challenges,” said Steven Permut, leader of the municipal bond team at American Century Investments. “In the long run, we think tax rates have to rise, making municipal bonds’ tax advantages even more appealing. The supply of tax-exempt municipal bonds is also likely to be constrained for the foreseeable future by the Build America Bond program, while demand should be supported by the attractive tax-free yields municipal bonds offer relative to cash and fully taxable investments. We also expect the municipal market to benefit from changes currently under way at the big credit rating agencies, which should better recognize the comparatively high quality of municipal investments. Having said that, economic challenges remain. To be clear, we do not expect wholesale municipal bond defaults, but select issuers could face rating downgrades. We think these conditions put a premium on careful credit analysis and individual security selection—what we believe are two strengths of our management approach.”

Shareholder Fee Examples (Unaudited) 

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 September 1, 2009 to February 28, 2010.

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. We will not charge the fee as long as you choose to manage your accounts exclusively online. 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.

14



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 

FEBRUARY 28, 2010 (UNAUDITED)

1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Organization — American Century California Tax-Free and Municipal Funds (the trust) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the 1940 Act) as an open-end management investment company. California Long-Term Tax-Free Fund (Long-Term) and California High-Yield Municipal Fund (High-Yield Municipal) are two funds in a series issued by the trust. Long-Term is diversified under the 1940 Act. High-Yield Municipal is nondiversified under the 1940 Act. Long-Term’s investment objective is to seek safety of principal and high current income that is exempt from federal and California income taxes. Long-Term invests primarily in long-term investment-grade municipal obligations. High-Yield Municipal’s investment objective is to seek high current income that is exempt from federal and California income taxes. High-Yield Municipal pursues this objective by investing a portion of its assets in lower-rated and unrated municipal securities. The following is a summary of the funds’ significant accounting policies.

Multiple Class — The funds are authorized to issue the Investor Class, the A Class, the B Class and the C Class. The A Class may incur an initial sales charge. The A Class, B 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. All shares of each 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 funds are allocated to each class of shares based on their relative net assets.

Security Valuations — Debt securities maturing in greater than 60 days at the time of purchase are valued at current market value as provided by a commercial pricing service or at the mean of the most recent bid and asked prices. Debt securities maturing within 60 days at the time of purchase may be valued at cost, plus or minus any amortized discount or premium. If an event occurs after the value of a security was established but before the net asset value per share was determined that was likely to materially change the net asset value, that security would be valued as determined in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. If the funds determine that the market price of a portfolio security is not readily available, or that the valuation methods mentioned above do not reflect the security’s fair value, such security is valued as determined by the Board of Trustees or its designee, in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees, if such determination would materially impact a fund’s net asset value. Certain other circumstances may cause the funds to use alternative procedures to value a security such as: a security has been declared in default; trading in a security has been halted during the trading day; or there is a foreign market holiday and no trading will commence.

Security Transactions — For financial reporting purposes, 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.

When-Issued — The funds may engage in securities transactions on a when-issued basis. Under these arrangements, the securities’ prices and yields are fixed on the date of the commitment, but payment and delivery are scheduled for a future date. During this period, securities are subject to market fluctuations. The funds will segregate cash, cash equivalents or other appropriate liquid securities on their records in amounts sufficient to meet the purchase price.

37



Income Tax Status — It is each 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. The funds are no longer subject to examination by tax authorities for years prior to 2006. 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. Accordingly, no provision has been made for federal or state income taxes. Interest and penalties associated with any federal or state income tax obligations, if any, are recorded as interest expense.

Distributions to Shareholders — Distributions from net investment income 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 funds. In addition, in the normal course of business, the funds enter 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.

Use of Estimates — The financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which may require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Subsequent Events — In preparing the financial statements, management evaluated the impact of events or transactions occurring through the date the financial statements were issued that would merit recognition or disclosure.

2. Fees and Transactions with Related Parties

Management Fees — The trust has entered into a Management Agreement with American Century Investment Management, Inc., (ACIM) (the investment advisor) under which ACIM provides the funds 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 funds, except 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 each specific class of shares of each fund and paid monthly in arrears. The fee consists of (1) an Investment Category Fee based on the daily net assets of the funds and certain other accounts managed by the investment advisor that are in the same broad investment category as each 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% for Long-Term and from 0.1925% to 0.3100% for High-Yield Municipal. The rates for the Complex Fee range from 0.2500% to 0.3100%. The investment advisor voluntarily agreed to waive 0.024% of its management fee for High-Yield Municipal for the six months ended February 28, 2010. The total amount of the waiver for each class of High-Yield Municipal was $46,873, $12,272, $118, and $3,652 for the Investor Class, A Class, B Class, and C Class, respectively. The investment advisor expects the fee waiver to continue through July 31, 2010 and cannot terminate it without consulting the Board of Trustees. The effective annual management fee for each class of Long-Term for the six months ended February 28, 2010 was 0.48%. The effective annual management fee for each class of High-Yield Municipal for the six months ended February 28, 2010 was 0.51% before waiver and 0.49% after waiver.

38



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, B 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 American Century Investment Services, Inc. (ACIS) an annual distribution and service fee of 0.25%. The plans provide that the B Class and the C Class will each pay ACIS an annual distribution fee of 0.75% and service fee of 0.25%. 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 six months ended February 28, 2010, are detailed in the Statement of Operations.

Related Parties — Certain officers and trustees of the trust are also officers and/or directors of American Century Companies, Inc. (ACC), the parent of the trust’s investment advisor, ACIM, the distributor of the trust, ACIS, and the trust’s transfer agent, American Century Services, LLC.

The funds have a Mutual Funds Services Agreement with J.P. Morgan Investor Services Co. (JPMIS). JPMorgan Chase Bank (JPMCB) is a custodian of the funds. JPMIS and JPMCB are wholly owned subsidiaries of JPMorgan Chase & Co. (JPM). JPM is an equity investor in ACC.

5. Fair Value Measurements

The funds’ securities valuation process is based on several considerations and may use multiple inputs to determine the fair value of the positions held by the funds. 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 as follows:

• Level 1 valuation inputs consist of actual quoted prices in an active market for identical securities;

• Level 2 valuation inputs consist of significant direct or indirect observable market data (including quoted prices for similar securities, evaluations of subsequent market events, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.); or

• Level 3 valuation inputs consist of significant unobservable inputs (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 an indication of the risks associated with investing in these securities or other financial instruments.

As of February 28, 2010, the valuation inputs used to determine the fair value of the funds’ municipal securities and unrealized gain (loss) on futures contracts were classified as Level 2 and Level 1, respectively.

6. Derivative Instruments

Interest Rate Risk — The funds are subject to interest rate risk in the normal course of pursuing their 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 interest rate risk derivative instruments held at period end as disclosed on the Schedule of Investments are indicative of the funds’ typical volume during the period.

For Long-Term, the value of interest rate risk derivatives as of February 28, 2010, is disclosed on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an asset of $45,000 in receivable for variation margin on futures contracts and a liability of $24,125 in payable for variation margin on futures contracts. For Long-Term, for the six months ended February 28, 2010, the effect of interest rate risk derivatives on the Statement of Operations was $(167,530) in net realized gain (loss) on futures contract transactions and $174,501 in change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on futures contracts.

For High-Yield Municipal, the value of interest rate risk derivatives as of February 28, 2010, is disclosed on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an asset of $55,500 in receivable for variation margin on futures contracts and a liability of $29,875 in payable for variation margin on futures contracts. For High-Yield Municipal, for the six months ended February 28, 2010, the effect of interest rate risk derivatives on the Statement of Operations was $(388,603) in net realized gain (loss) on futures contract transactions and $228,941 in change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on futures contracts.

41



7. Interfund Lending

The funds, along with certain other funds in the American Century Investments family of funds, may participate in an interfund lending program, pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). This program provides an alternative credit facility allowing the funds to borrow from or lend to other funds in the American Century Investments family of funds that permit such transactions. Interfund lending transactions are subject to each fund’s investment policies and borrowing and lending limits. The interfund loan rate earned/paid on interfund lending transactions is determined daily based on the average of certain current market rates. Interfund lending transactions normally extend only overnight, but can have a maximum duration of seven days. The program is subject to annual approval by the Board of Trustees. During the six months ended February 28, 2010, the funds did not utilize the program.

8. Risk Factors

The funds concentrate their 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. Income may be subject to state and local taxes and, if applicable, the alternative minimum tax. High-Yield Municipal invests primarily in lower-rated debt securities, which are subject to substantial risks including price volatility, liquidity risk, and default risk.

9. Federal Tax Information

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 February 28, 2010, the components of investments for federal income tax purposes were as follows:

   Long-Term  High-Yield Municipal 
Federal tax cost of investments  $418,197,173 $526,212,281
Gross tax appreciation of investments  $22,768,403 $ 18,399,854
Gross tax depreciation of investments    (8,028,040)   (31,022,352)
Net tax appreciation (depreciation) of investments  $14,740,363   $(12,622,498)

The difference between book-basis and tax-basis cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales.

As of August 31, 2009, High-Yield Municipal had accumulated capital losses of $(13,700,854), which represent net capital loss carryovers that may be used to offset future realized capital gains for federal income tax purposes. Future capital loss carryover utilization in any given year may be subject to Internal Revenue Code limitations. The capital loss carryovers expire as follows:

   2015  2016  2017 
High-Yield Municipal  $(1,856,960)  $(59,453)  $(11,784,441) 

Long-Term and High-Yield Municipal had capital loss deferrals of $(9,689,183) and $(12,562,866) respectively, which represent net capital losses incurred in the ten-month period ended August 31, 2009. The funds have elected to treat such losses as having been incurred in the following fiscal year for federal income tax purposes.

42



10. Corporate Event

As part of a long-standing estate and business succession plan established by ACC Co-Chairman James E. Stowers, Jr., the founder of American Century Investments, ACC Co-Chairman Richard W. Brown succeeded Mr. Stowers as trustee of a trust that holds a greater-than-25% voting interest in ACC, the parent corporation of each fund’s advisor. Under the 1940 Act, this is presumed to represent control of ACC even though it is less than a majority interest. The change of trustee may technically be considered a “change of control” of ACC and therefore also a change of control of each fund’s advisor even though there has been no change to their management and none is anticipated. The “change of control” resulted in the assignment of each fund’s investment advisory agreement. Under the Act, an assignment automatically terminated such agreement, making the approval of a new agreement necessary.

On February 18, 2010, the Board of Trustees approved interim investment advisory agreements under which each fund will be managed until new agreements are approved by fund shareholders. On April 1, 2010, the Board of Trustees approved new investment advisory agreements. The interim agreements and the new agreements are substantially identical to the terminated agreements (with the exception of different effective and termination dates) and will not result in changes in the management of American Century Investments, the funds, their investment objectives, fees or services provided. The new agreements have been submitted to shareholders for approval at a Special Meeting of Shareholders to be held on June 16, 2010.

Board Approval of Management Agreements 

American Century Investment Management, Inc. (“ACIM” or the “Advisor”) currently serves as investment advisor to the Funds under an interim management agreement (the “Interim Management Agreement”) between the Advisor and the Funds approved by the Funds’ Board of Trustees (the “Board”). The Advisor previously served as investment advisor to the Funds pursuant to a management agreement (the “Prior Management Agreement”) that terminated in accordance with its terms on February 16, 2010, as a result of a change of control of the Advisor’s parent company, American Century Companies, Inc. (“ACC”). The change in control occurred as the result of a change in the trustee of a trust created by James E. Stowers, Jr., the founder of American Century Investments that holds shares representing a significant interest in ACC stock. Mr. Stowers previously served as the trustee of the trust. On February 16, 2010, Richard W. Brown, Co-Chairman of ACC with Mr. Stowers, became the trustee in accordance with the terms of the trust and Mr. Stowers’ long-standing estate and succession plan.

On February 18, 2010, the Board approved the Interim Management Agreement in accordance with Rule 15a-4 under the Investment Company Act to ensure continued management of the Funds by the Advisor after the termination of the Prior Management Agreement and until shareholder approval of a new management agreement (the “Proposed Management Agreement”) as required under the Act. The Board has approved the Proposed Management Agreement and has recommended its approval to shareholders. Fund shareholders are scheduled to consider approval of the Proposed Management Agreement at a meeting to be held on June 16, 2010.*

The Interim Management Agreement and the Proposed Management Agreement are substantially identical to the Prior Management Agreement except for their effective dates and the termination provisions of the Interim Management Agreement. Under the Interim and Proposed Management Agreements, the Advisor will provide the same services to the Funds and receive the same compensation rate as under the Prior Management Agreement.

Basis for Board Approval of Interim Management Agreement

In considering the approval of the Interim Management Agreement, Rule 15a-4 requires the Board to approve the contract within ten business days of the termination of the prior agreement and to determine that the compensation to be received under the interim agreement is no greater than would have been received under the prior agreement. In connection with the approval, the Board noted that it oversees on a continuous basis and evaluates at its quarterly meetings, directly and through the committees of the Board, the nature and quality of significant services provided by the Advisor, the investment performance of the Funds, shareholder services, audit and compliance functions and a variety of other matters relating to the Funds’ operations.

*Management agreements for new share classes of the Funds launched after February 16, 2010, did not terminate, have not been replaced by Interim 
 Management Agreements, and do not require Board or shareholder approval at this time. 

52



In evaluating the Interim Management Agreement, the Board, assisted by the advice of its independent legal counsel, considered a number of factors in addition to those required by the rule with no one factor being determinative to its analysis. Among the factors considered by the Board were the circumstances and effect of the change of control, the fact that the Advisor will provide the same services and receive the same compensation rate as under the Prior Management Agreements, and that the change of control did not result in a change of the personnel managing the Funds. Upon completion of its analysis, the Board approved the Interim Management Agreement, determining that the continued management of the Funds by the Advisor was in the best interests of the Funds and Fund shareholders.

Basis for Board Approval of Proposed Management Agreement

At a meeting held on April 1, 2010, after considering all information presented, the Board approved, and determined to recommend that shareholders approve, the Proposed Management Agreement. In connection with that approval, the Board requested and reviewed extensive data and information compiled by the Advisor and certain independent providers of evaluation data concerning the Funds and services provided to the Funds by the Advisor. The Board oversees on a continuous basis and evaluates at its quarterly meetings, directly and through the committees of the Board, the nature and quality of significant services provided by the Advisor, the investment performance of the Funds, shareholder services, audit and compliance functions and a variety of other matters relating to the Funds’ operations. The information considered and the discussions held at the meetings included, but were not limited to:

• the nature, extent and quality of investment management, shareholder services and other services provided to the Funds;

• the wide range of programs and services the Advisor provides to the Funds and their shareholders on a routine and non-routine basis;

• the compliance policies, procedures, and regulatory experience of the Advisor;

• data comparing the cost of owning the Funds to the cost of owning similar funds;

• the fact that there will be no changes to the fees, services, or personnel who provide such services as compared to the Prior Management Agreement;

• data comparing the Funds’ performance to appropriate benchmarks and/or a peer group of other mutual funds with similar investment objectives and strategies;

• financial data showing the profitability of the Funds to the Advisor and the overall profitability of the Advisor;

• data comparing services provided and charges to the Funds with those for other non-fund investment management clients of the Advisor; and

53



• consideration of collateral or “fall-out” benefits derived by the Advisor from the management of the Funds and potential sharing of economies of scale in connection with the management of the Funds.

The Board also considered whether there was any reason for not continuing the existing arrangement with the Advisor. In particular, the Board recognized that shareholders may have invested in the Funds 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 Funds.

The Board considered all of the information provided by the Advisor, the independent data providers, and the Board’s independent counsel, and evaluated such information for each Fund. The Board did not identify any single factor as being all-important or controlling, and each Board member may have attributed different levels of importance to different factors. In deciding to approve the Proposed Management Agreement under the terms ultimately determined by the Board to be appropriate, the Board based its decision on a number of factors, including the following:

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

• constructing and designing the Funds

• portfolio research and security selection

• initial capitalization/funding

• securities trading

• Fund administration

• custody of Fund assets

• daily valuation of each Fund’s portfolio

• shareholder servicing and transfer agency, including shareholder 
  confirmations, recordkeeping and communications

• legal services

• regulatory and portfolio compliance

• financial reporting

• marketing and distribution

54



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

Investment Management Services. The investment management services provided to the Funds are complex and provide Fund shareholders access to professional money management, instant diversification of their investments within an asset class, the opportunity to easily diversify among asset classes, and liquidity. As a part of its general oversight and in evaluating investment performance, the Board expects the Advisor to manage each Fund in accordance with its investment objectives and approved strategies. In providing these services, the Advisor utilizes teams of investment professionals 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 each Fund, together with comparative information for appropriate benchmarks and/or peer groups of similarly-managed funds, over different time horizons. If performance concerns are identified, the underperforming Fund receives special reviews until performance improves, during which time the Board discusses with the Advisor the reasons for such underperformance and any efforts being undertaken to improve performance.

Shareholder and Other Services. Under the Proposed Management Agreement, the Advisor will also provide the Funds with a comprehensive package of transfer agency, shareholder, and other services. The Board, directly and through the various committees of the Board, regularly reviews reports and evaluations of such services. 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.

Costs of Services Provided and Profitability. The Advisor provided detailed information concerning its cost of providing various services to the Funds, its profitability in managing the Funds, its overall profitability, and its financial condition. The Board reviewed with the Advisor the methodology used to prepare this financial information. The Board has also reviewed with the Advisor its methodology for compensating the investment professionals that provide services to the Funds as well as compensation to the five highest paid personnel of the Advisor. This financial information regarding the Advisor is considered in order to evaluate the Advisor’s financial condition, its ability to continue to provide services under the Proposed Management Agreement, and the reasonableness of the proposed management fees.

55



Ethics. The Board generally considers the Advisor’s commitment to providing quality services to shareholders and to conducting its business ethically. It noted that the Advisor’s practices generally meet or exceed industry best practices.

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 Funds. The Board concluded that economies of scale are difficult to measure and predict with precision, especially on a fund-by-fund basis. The analysis of economies of scale is further complicated by the additional services and content provided by the Advisor and its reinvestment in its ability to provide and expand those services. Accordingly, the Board seeks to evaluate economies of scale by reviewing information, such as year-over-year profitability of the Advisor generally, the profitability of its management of each Fund specifically, and the expenses incurred by the Advisor in providing various functions to the Funds. The Board believes the Advisor is appropriately sharing economies of scale through its competitive fee structure, offering competitive fees from fund inception, fee breakpoints as the fund complex and the Funds increase in size, and through reinvestment in its business to provide shareholders additional services and enhancements to existing services. In particular, separate breakpoint schedules based on the size of the entire fund complex and on the size of each Fund reflect the complexity of assessing economies of scale.

Comparison to Fees of Funds not Managed by the Advisor. Both the Prior and Proposed Management Agreements provide that the Funds pay the Advisor a single, all-inclusive (or unified) management fee for providing all services necessary for the management and operation of the Funds, other than brokerage expenses, taxes, interest, extraordinary expenses, and the fees and expenses of the Funds’ 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 that 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 distribution fees, the 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 Funds 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 comparing each Fund’s unified fee to the total expense ratios of similar funds not managed by the Advisor.

56



The Board concluded that the management fee to be paid by each Fund to the Advisor under the Proposed Management Agreement is reasonable in light of the services to be provided to the Funds.

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 and extent of the services, fees, and profitability of its advisory services to advisory clients other than the Funds. They observed that these varying types of client accounts require different services and involve different regulatory and entrepreneurial risks than the management of the Funds. The Board analyzed this information and concluded that the fees charged and services provided to the Funds were reasonable by comparison.

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 Funds. They concluded 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 and concluded that this research is likely to benefit Fund shareholders. The Board also determined that the Advisor is able to provide investment management services to certain clients other than the Funds, 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, in any event, are included with the assets of the Funds to determine breakpoints in each Fund’s fee schedule, provided they are managed using the same investment team and strategy.

Conclusion of the Board. As a result of this process, the Board, in the absence of particular circumstances and assisted by the advice of its independent legal counsel, taking into account all of the factors discussed above and the information provided by the Advisor and others, concluded that the Proposed Management Agreement be approved and recommended its approval to Fund shareholders.

President’s Letter 


Dear Investor:

Thank you for taking time to review the following pages, which provide investment performance and portfolio information for the financial reporting period ended February 28, 2010, along with the perspective and commentary of our experienced portfolio management team. We appreciate your trust in American Century Investments at this volatile, transitional time in the economy and investment markets.

As the upheavals associated with the “Great Recession” gradually subside, our senior management team has put considerable thought into how the investment environment has changed and what challenges and opportunities await us. Critical factors that we are anticipating in 2010 include marked shifts in investment and spending behavior compared with the past decade, along with consolidation in our industry.

Most importantly, we think the U.S. economic recovery will be slow and extended. The economy and capital markets have come a long way since Lehman Brothers collapsed in the third quarter of 2008, but 2010 will likely bring continuing challenges. The U.S. stock market’s rebound since last March and the second-half economic surge in 2009 were fueled largely by corporate cost-cutting and unprecedented monetary and fiscal stimulus, including some key programs that have since expired or been scaled back.

Meanwhile, the resilient but struggling consumer sector still faces high unemployment, heavy debt burdens, tight credit conditions, and a housing market that is starting to stabilize, but remains vulnerable. Much of our investment positioning in 2009 cautiously reflected these still unstable economic fundamentals, leading to underperformance, in some cases, versus market benchmarks buoyed by the rally of riskier assets. We still support our fundamentally based positioning because we believe strongly that some markets—driven more by technical factors than fundamentals—have advanced further than underlying economic conditions warrant, and remain susceptible to the possibility of more volatility ahead.

Thank you for your continued confidence in us.

Sincerely,


Jonathan Thomas
President and Chief Executive Officer
American Century Investments

Market Perspective 


By David MacEwen, Chief Investment Officer, Fixed Income

Economic, Market Conditions Improved

Municipal bonds produced positive returns during the six months ended February 28, 2010 (see the accompanying table), when the U.S. economy and financial markets continued to rebound from the depths of the credit crisis. Gross domestic product expanded at an estimated 5.6% annual rate in the fourth quarter of 2009, inflation was tame, and home prices stabilized; however, the unemployment rate ended February at 9.7% and bank lending—a key driver of economic growth—remained weak. In that environment, the Federal Reserve held its short-term rate target at 0% to keep credit cheap and readily available.

Better economic and market conditions helped municipal bonds outperform Treasuries. Riskier securities such as high-yield bonds that did worst in the credit crisis performed best in the last six months. Technical (supply and demand) factors also contributed to tax-free municipal bond outperformance, as mutual fund flows remained positive while tax-exempt municipal supply was limited by the Build America Bond program, a federal government program intended to lower borrowing costs and improve access to capital for municipalities. This program took many newly issued bonds out of the municipal market and put them in the taxable universe.

California Municipals Lagged National Averages

Worries about the health of California’s economy and resulting impact on municipal credit quality meant bonds issued by the state and local municipalities underperformed national averages. Indeed, in January, credit rating agency Standard & Poor’s downgraded the state’s tax-supported general obligation (GO) debt rating from A to A–. Despite the downgrade, it is important to point out that we believe California is highly unlikely to default (miss payments) on its GO debt. California’s GO debt continues to be rated “investment grade” by all three big rating agencies, and the state’s constitution requires it to pay debt service on its GO bonds, which have second claim to all general fund revenues behind only education. And, as a state, California cannot file for bankruptcy, nor can it disappear, as can a corporate credit.

Portfolio Commentary 

California Tax-Free Bond

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

Performance Summary

California Tax-Free Bond returned 3.74%* for the six months ended February 28, 2010. By comparison, the Barclays Capital 5-Year GO Bond Index returned 3.66%. The average return of the California Intermediate Municipal Debt Funds tracked by Lipper Inc. was 3.76% for the same period.

The portfolio’s absolute returns reflect the solid performance of municipal bonds over the six-month period (see the Market Perspective on page 3). The fund performed roughly in line with its peer group average and the Barclays Capital 5-Year GO Bond Index in a period when we made a number of trades that we believe will contribute to outperformance over time. We believe this long-term approach has contributed to California Tax-Free Bond outpacing the Lipper group average return for the one-, five-, and 10-year periods ended February 28 (see page 6).

Sector and Credit Allocations Had Mixed Effects

We manage the portfolio using a long-term, relative-value approach to investing, looking for what we believe to be high-quality assets trading at temporarily depressed prices, or opportunities that present attractive risk/reward trade-offs.

This management approach led us to add state general obligation (GO) bonds trading at historically wide yield spreads (meaning they were as cheap relative to high-grade municipals as they’ve ever been), providing a favorable long-term risk/reward trade-off in our view. The bonds trailed other segments of the municipal market in recent months because of concern about California’s economy and budget. We think those concerns are overstated—we believe a default (missed payment) by the state is highly unlikely for many reasons, including the fact that California cannot file for bankruptcy, it is constitutionally required to pay debt service on its GO bonds, and GO debt is second only to education in its claim on all general fund revenues. Holding these bonds dampened recent relative performance—as did an underweight position in tobacco bonds and those issued by gas utilities—but we still like their long-term potential.

At the other end of the spectrum, it was beneficial to be underrepresented in prerefunded securities, which lagged. At the same time, we held an overweight stake in health care and hospital securities, which performed relatively well for the six months.

Our credit exposure also had a mixed effect—we held more than 50% of assets in securities rated AAA and AA as of February 28. That positioning was key to the portfolio’s outperformance during the credit crisis, but detracted modestly from relative results in the last six months, when lower-rated bonds did best.

*Total returns for periods less than one year are not annualized.

California Tax-Free Bond

Changes to Portfolio Positioning

We implemented a yield curve flattening trade using two- and 30-year Treasury futures (the trade was based on the expectation that the yield difference, or spread, between two- and 30-year securities would narrow going forward). We put the trade on in late 2009 when the slope of the Treasury yield curve approached record levels of steepness.

Similarly, we implemented a trade designed to capitalize on the changing yield relationship between Treasury and municipal bonds, a “yield ratio” trade. We put the ratio trade in effect at a time when long-term municipal bond yields exceeded Treasury yields, a rare occurrence. The trade was based on our expectation that municipals would outperform Treasuries, and the yield difference between the two would move toward their normal historical relationship, with municipals yielding less than Treasuries. Municipals outperformed Treasuries, and the ratio declined, so we took our profits and exited this trade in late 2009.

Outlook

“We’re positive on the municipal market over time, but credit concerns and headline risk (bad publicity resulting from the state’s budget and economic situation) present near-term challenges,” said Steven Permut, leader of the municipal bond team at American Century Investments. “In the long run, we think tax rates have to rise, making municipal bonds’ tax advantages even more appealing. The supply of tax-exempt municipal bonds is also likely to be constrained for the foreseeable future by the Build America Bond program, while demand should be supported by the attractive tax-free yields municipal bonds offer relative to cash and fully taxable investments. We also expect the municipal market to benefit from changes currently under way at the big credit rating agencies, which should better recognize the comparatively high quality of municipal investments. Having said that, economic challenges remain. To be clear, we do not expect wholesale municipal bond defaults, but select issuers could face rating downgrades. We think these conditions put a premium on careful credit analysis and individual security selection—what we believe are two strengths of our management approach.”

Shareholder Fee Examples (Unaudited) 

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 September 1, 2009 to February 28, 2010.

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. We will not charge the fee as long as you choose to manage your accounts exclusively online. 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.

11



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.

(1)  Expenses are equal to the fund’s annualized expense ratio listed in the table above, multiplied by the average account value over the period, 
  multiplied by 181, the number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year, divided by 365, to reflect the one-half year period. 
(2)  During the six months ended February 28, 2010, the investment advisor waived a portion of the fund’s management fee. 
(3)  Ending account value assumes the return earned after waiver. The return would have been lower had fees not been waived and would have 
  resulted in a lower ending account value.

Notes to Financial Statements 

FEBRUARY 28, 2010 (UNAUDITED)

1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Organization — American Century California Tax-Free and Municipal Funds (the trust) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the 1940 Act) as an open-end management investment company. California Tax-Free Money Market Fund (Tax-Free Money Market) and California Tax-Free Bond Fund (Tax-Free Bond) (collectively, the funds) are two funds in a series issued by the trust. Tax-Free Money Market is diversified under Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act. Tax-Free Bond is diversified under the 1940 Act. The funds’ investment objectives are to seek safety of principal and high current income that is exempt from federal and California income taxes. Tax-Free Money Market invests primarily in municipal obligations with very short-term maturities. Tax-Free Bond invests primarily in municipal obligations of all maturity ranges. The following is a summary of the funds’ significant accounting policies.

Security Valuations — Securities of Tax-Free Money Market are valued at amortized cost, which approximates current market value. Debt securities of Tax-Free Bond maturing in greater than 60 days at the time of purchase are valued at current market value as provided by a commercial pricing service or at the mean of the most recent bid and asked prices. Debt securities maturing within 60 days at the time of purchase may be valued at cost, plus or minus any amortized discount or premium. If an event occurs after the value of a security was established but before net asset value per share was determined that was likely to materially change the net asset value, that security would be valued as determined in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. If the funds determine that the market price of a portfolio security is not readily available, or that the valuation methods mentioned above do not reflect the security’s fair value, such security is valued as determined by the Board of Trustees or its designee, in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees, if such determination would materially impact a fund’s net asset value. Certain other circumstances may cause the funds to use alternative procedures to value a security such as: a security has been declared in default; trading in a security has been halted during the trading day; or there is a foreign market holiday and no trading will commence.

Security Transactions — For financial reporting purposes, 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.

When-Issued — The funds may engage in securities transactions on a when-issued basis. Under these arrangements, the securities’ prices and yields are fixed on the date of the commitment, but payment and delivery are scheduled for a future date. During this period, securities are subject to market fluctuations. The funds will segregate cash, cash equivalents or other appropriate liquid securities on its records in amounts sufficient to meet the purchase price.

Income Tax Status — It is each 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. The funds are no longer subject to examination by tax authorities for years prior to 2006. 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. Accordingly, no provision has been made for federal or state income taxes. Interest and penalties associated with any federal or state income tax obligations, if any, are recorded as interest expense.

Distributions to Shareholders — Distributions from net investment income are declared daily and paid monthly. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are generally declared and paid annually.

32



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 funds. In addition, in the normal course of business, the funds enter 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.

Use of Estimates — The financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which may require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Subsequent Events — In preparing the financial statements, management evaluated the impact of events or transactions occurring through the date the financial statements were issued that would merit recognition or disclosure.

2. Fees and Transactions with Related Parties

Management Fees — The trust has entered into a Management Agreement with American Century Investment Management, Inc. (ACIM) (the investment advisor), under which ACIM provides the funds 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 funds, except brokerage expenses, taxes, temporary guarantee program fees, 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 each specific class of shares of each fund and paid monthly in arrears. The fee consists of (1) an Investment Category Fee based on the daily net assets of the funds and certain other accounts managed by the investment advisor that are in the same broad investment category as each 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% for Tax-Free Money Market and from 0.1625% to 0.2800% for Tax-Free Bond. 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 its management fee on a daily basis. The effective annual management fee for Tax-Free Money Market for the six months ended February 28, 2010 was 0.49% before waiver and 0.33% after waiver. The effective annual management fee was 0.48% for Tax-Free Bond for the six months ended February 28, 2010.

Temporary Guarantee Program — On October 3, 2008, the Board of Trustees approved Tax-Free Money Market to participate in the U.S. Treasury Department’s Temporary Guarantee Program for Money Market Funds (the program). The program provides coverage to guarantee the account values of shareholders in the event the fund’s net asset value falls below $0.995 and the Trustees liquidate the fund. The program covers the lesser of a shareholder’s account value on September 19, 2008, or on the date of liquidation. Participation in the program requires Tax-Free Money Market to pay a fee based on the net assets of Tax-Free Money Market as of the close of business on September 19, 2008, which is amortized daily over the period. Tax-Free Money Market participated in the program from September 19, 2008 through December 19, 2008 and paid a fee of 0.01% of its net assets as of September 19, 2008. Tax-Free Money Market continued its participation in the program from December 20, 2008 through April 30, 2009 and paid a fee of 0.015% of its net assets as of September 19, 2008. Tax-Free Money Market continued its participation in a program extension from May 1, 2009 through September 18, 2009 and paid a fee of 0.015% of its net assets as of September 19, 2008. The program expired on September 18, 2009. For the six months ended February 28, 2010, the annualized ratio of the program fee to average net assets was 0.01%.

Related Parties — Certain officers and trustees of the trust are also officers and/or directors of American Century Companies, Inc. (ACC), the parent of the trust’s investment advisor, ACIM, the distributor of the trust, American Century Investment Services, Inc., and the trust’s transfer agent, American Century Services, LLC.

33



The funds have a Mutual Funds Services Agreement with J.P. Morgan Investor Services Co. (JPMIS). JPMorgan Chase Bank (JPMCB) is a custodian of the funds. JPMIS and JPMCB are wholly owned subsidiaries of JPMorgan Chase & Co. (JPM). JPM is an equity investor in ACC.

3. Investment Transactions

All investment transactions for Tax-Free Money Market were considered short-term during the six months ended February 28, 2010.

Purchases and sales of investment securities for Tax-Free Bond, excluding short-term investments, for the six months ended February 28, 2010, were $89,523,847 and $33,100,163 respectively.

4. Fair Value Measurements

The funds’ securities valuation process is based on several considerations and may use multiple inputs to determine the fair value of the positions held by the funds. 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 as follows:

• Level 1 valuation inputs consist of actual quoted prices in an active market for identical securities;

• Level 2 valuation inputs consist of significant direct or indirect observable market data (including quoted prices for similar securities, evaluations of subsequent market events, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.); or

• Level 3 valuation inputs consist of significant unobservable inputs (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 an indication of the risks associated with investing in these securities or other financial instruments.

As of February 28, 2010, the valuation inputs used to determine the fair value of Tax-Free Money Market’s municipal securities were classified as Level 2.

As of February 28, 2010, the valuation inputs used to determine the fair value of Tax-Free Bond’s municipal securities and unrealized gain (loss) on futures contracts were classified as Level 2 and Level 1, respectively.

5. Derivative Instruments

Interest Rate Risk — Tax-Free Bond 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 interest rate risk derivative instruments held at period end as disclosed on the Schedule of Investments are indicative of Tax-Free Bond’s typical volume during the period.

34



For Tax-Free Bond, the value of interest rate risk derivatives as of February 28, 2010, is disclosed on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an asset of $68,250 in receivable for variation margin on futures contracts and a liability of $37,000 in payable for variation margin on futures contracts. For Tax-Free Bond, for the six months ended February 28, 2010, the effect of interest rate risk derivatives on the Statement of Operations was $(408,323) in net realized gain (loss) on futures contract transactions and $202,523 in change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on futures contracts.

6. Interfund Lending

The funds, along with certain other funds in the American Century Investments family of funds, may participate in an interfund lending program, pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). This program provides an alternative credit facility allowing the funds to borrow from or lend to other funds in the American Century Investments family of funds that permit such transactions. Interfund lending transactions are subject to each fund’s investment policies and borrowing and lending limits. The interfund loan rate earned/paid on interfund lending transactions is determined daily based on the average of certain current market rates. Interfund lending transactions normally extend only overnight, but can have a maximum duration of seven days. The program is subject to annual approval by the Board of Trustees. During the six months ended February 28, 2010, the funds did not utilize the program.

7. Risk Factors

The funds concentrate their 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. Income may be subject to state and local taxes and, if applicable, the alternative minimum tax.

8. Federal Tax Information

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 February 28, 2010, the components of investments for federal income tax purposes were as follows:

   Tax-Free   
  Money Market  Tax-Free Bond 
Federal tax cost of investments  $408,148,662 $663,613,379
Gross tax appreciation of investments  $31,748,018
Gross tax depreciation of investments    (3,094,555)
Net tax appreciation (depreciation) of investments  $28,653,463

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

35



As of August 31, 2009, Tax-Free Bond had accumulated capital losses of $(5,305,027), which represent net capital loss carryovers that may be used to offset future realized capital gains for federal income tax purposes. The capital loss carryovers expire as follows:

   2011  2012  2013  2014  2015  2016  2017 
Tax-Free Bond  $(905,757)    $(405,593)  $(322,273)  $(551,134)  $(275,673)  $(2,844,597) 

Tax-Free Bond had a capital loss deferral of $(4,305,586) which represents net capital losses incurred in the ten-month period ended August 31, 2009. Tax-Free Bond has elected to treat such losses as having been incurred in the following fiscal year for federal income tax purposes.

9. Corporate Event

As part of a long-standing estate and business succession plan established by ACC Co-Chairman James E. Stowers, Jr., the founder of American Century Investments, ACC Co-Chairman Richard W. Brown succeeded Mr. Stowers as trustee of a trust that holds a greater-than-25% voting interest in ACC, the parent corporation of each fund’s advisor. Under the 1940 Act, this is presumed to represent control of ACC even though it is less than a majority interest. The change of trustee may technically be considered a “change of control” of ACC and therefore also a change of control of each fund’s advisor even though there has been no change to their management and none is anticipated. The “change of control” resulted in the assignment of each fund’s investment advisory agreement. Under the Act, an assignment automatically terminated such agreement, making the approval of a new agreement necessary.

On February 18, 2010, the Board of Trustees approved interim investment advisory agreements under which each fund will be managed until new agreements are approved by fund shareholders. On April 1, 2010, the Board of Trustees approved new investment advisory agreements. The interim agreements and the new agreements are substantially identical to the terminated agreements (with the exception of different effective and termination dates) and will not result in changes in the management of American Century Investments, the funds, their investment objectives, fees or services provided. The new agreements have been submitted to shareholders for approval at a Special Meeting of Shareholders to be held on June 16, 2010.

Board Approval of Management Agreements 

American Century Investment Management, Inc. (“ACIM” or the “Advisor”) currently serves as investment advisor to the Funds under an interim management agreement (the “Interim Management Agreement”) between the Advisor and the Funds approved by the Funds’ Board of Trustees (the “Board”). The Advisor previously served as investment advisor to the Funds pursuant to a management agreement (the “Prior Management Agreement”) that terminated in accordance with its terms on February 16, 2010, as a result of a change of control of the Advisor’s parent company, American Century Companies, Inc. (“ACC”). The change in control occurred as the result of a change in the trustee of a trust created by James E. Stowers, Jr., the founder of American Century Investments that holds shares representing a significant interest in ACC stock. Mr. Stowers previously served as the trustee of the trust. On February 16, 2010, Richard W. Brown, Co-Chairman of ACC with Mr. Stowers, became the trustee in accordance with the terms of the trust and Mr. Stowers’ long-standing estate and succession plan.

On February 18, 2010, the Board approved the Interim Management Agreement in accordance with Rule 15a-4 under the Investment Company Act to ensure continued management of the Funds by the Advisor after the termination of the Prior Management Agreement and until shareholder approval of a new management agreement (the “Proposed Management Agreement”) as required under the Act. The Board has approved the Proposed Management Agreement and has recommended its approval to shareholders. Fund shareholders are scheduled to consider approval of the Proposed Management Agreement at a meeting to be held on June 16, 2010.*

The Interim Management Agreement and the Proposed Management Agreement are substantially identical to the Prior Management Agreement except for their effective dates and the termination provisions of the Interim Management Agreement. Under the Interim and Proposed Management Agreements, the Advisor will provide the same services to the Funds and receive the same compensation rate as under the Prior Management Agreement.

Basis for Board Approval of Interim Management Agreement

In considering the approval of the Interim Management Agreement, Rule 15a-4 requires the Board to approve the contract within ten business days of the termination of the prior agreement and to determine that the compensation to be received under the interim agreement is no greater than would have been received under the prior agreement. In connection with the approval, the Board noted that it oversees on a continuous basis and evaluates at its quarterly meetings, directly and through the committees of the Board, the nature and quality of significant services provided by the Advisor, the investment performance of the Funds, shareholder services, audit and compliance functions and a variety of other matters relating to the Funds’ operations.

*Management agreements for new share classes of the Funds launched after February 16, 2010, did not terminate, have not been replaced by Interim
 Management Agreements, and do not require Board or shareholder approval at this time.

In evaluating the Interim Management Agreement, the Board, assisted by the advice of its independent legal counsel, considered a number of factors in addition to those required by the rule with no one factor being determinative to its analysis. Among the factors considered by the Board were the circumstances and effect of the change of control, the fact that the Advisor will provide the same services and receive the same compensation rate as under the Prior Management Agreements, and that the change of control did not result in a change of the personnel managing the Funds. Upon completion of its analysis, the Board approved the Interim Management Agreement, determining that the continued management of the Funds by the Advisor was in the best interests of the Funds and Fund shareholders.

Basis for Board Approval of Proposed Management Agreement

At a meeting held on April 1, 2010, after considering all information presented, the Board approved, and determined to recommend that shareholders approve, the Proposed Management Agreement. In connection with that approval, the Board requested and reviewed extensive data and information compiled by the Advisor and certain independent providers of evaluation data concerning the Funds and services provided to the Funds by the Advisor. The Board oversees on a continuous basis and evaluates at its quarterly meetings, directly and through the committees of the Board, the nature and quality of significant services provided by the Advisor, the investment performance of the Funds, shareholder services, audit and compliance functions and a variety of other matters relating to the Funds’ operations. The information considered and the discussions held at the meetings included, but were not limited to:

• the nature, extent and quality of investment management, shareholder services and other services provided to the Funds;

• the wide range of programs and services the Advisor provides to the Funds and their shareholders on a routine and non-routine basis;

• the compliance policies, procedures, and regulatory experience of the Advisor;

• data comparing the cost of owning the Funds to the cost of owning similar funds;

• the fact that there will be no changes to the fees, services, or personnel who provide such services as compared to the Prior Management Agreement;

• data comparing the Funds’ performance to appropriate benchmarks and/or a peer group of other mutual funds with similar investment objectives and strategies;

• financial data showing the profitability of the Funds to the Advisor and the overall profitability of the Advisor;

• data comparing services provided and charges to the Funds with those for other non-fund investment management clients of the Advisor; and

40



• consideration of collateral or “fall-out” benefits derived by the Advisor from the management of the Funds and potential sharing of economies of scale in connection with the management of the Funds.

The Board also considered whether there was any reason for not continuing the existing arrangement with the Advisor. In particular, the Board recognized that shareholders may have invested in the Funds 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 Funds.

The Board considered all of the information provided by the Advisor, the independent data providers, and the Board’s independent counsel, and evaluated such information for each Fund. The Board did not identify any single factor as being all-important or controlling, and each Board member may have attributed different levels of importance to different factors. In deciding to approve the Proposed Management Agreement under the terms ultimately determined by the Board to be appropriate, the Board based its decision on a number of factors, including the following:

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

• constructing and designing the Funds

• portfolio research and security selection

• initial capitalization/funding

• securities trading

• Fund administration

• custody of Fund assets

• daily valuation of each Fund’s portfolio

• shareholder servicing and transfer agency, including shareholder confirmations, recordkeeping and communications

• legal services

• regulatory and portfolio compliance

• financial reporting

• marketing and distribution

41



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

Investment Management Services. The investment management services provided to the Funds are complex and provide Fund shareholders access to professional money management, instant diversification of their investments within an asset class, the opportunity to easily diversify among asset classes, and liquidity. As a part of its general oversight and in evaluating investment performance, the Board expects the Advisor to manage each Fund in accordance with its investment objectives and approved strategies. In providing these services, the Advisor utilizes teams of investment professionals 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 each Fund, together with comparative information for appropriate benchmarks and/or peer groups of similarly-managed funds, over different time horizons. If performance concerns are identified, the underperforming Fund receives special reviews until performance improves, during which time the Board discusses with the Advisor the reasons for such underperformance and any efforts being undertaken to improve performance.

Shareholder and Other Services. Under the Proposed Management Agreement, the Advisor will also provide the Funds with a comprehensive package of transfer agency, shareholder, and other services. The Board, directly and through the various committees of the Board, regularly reviews reports and evaluations of such services. 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.

Costs of Services Provided and Profitability. The Advisor provided detailed information concerning its cost of providing various services to the Funds, its profitability in managing the Funds, its overall profitability, and its financial condition. The Board reviewed with the Advisor the methodology used to prepare this financial information. The Board has also reviewed with the Advisor its methodology for compensating the investment professionals that provide services to the Funds as well as compensation to the five highest paid personnel of the Advisor. This financial information regarding the Advisor is considered in order to evaluate the Advisor’s financial condition, its ability to continue to provide services under the Proposed Management Agreement, and the reasonableness of the proposed management fees.

42



Ethics. The Board generally considers the Advisor’s commitment to providing quality services to shareholders and to conducting its business ethically. It noted that the Advisor’s practices generally meet or exceed industry best practices.

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 Funds. The Board concluded that economies of scale are difficult to measure and predict with precision, especially on a fund-by-fund basis. The analysis of economies of scale is further complicated by the additional services and content provided by the Advisor and its reinvestment in its ability to provide and expand those services. Accordingly, the Board seeks to evaluate economies of scale by reviewing information, such as year-over-year profitability of the Advisor generally, the profitability of its management of each Fund specifically, and the expenses incurred by the Advisor in providing various functions to the Funds. The Board believes the Advisor is appropriately sharing economies of scale through its competitive fee structure, offering competitive fees from fund inception, fee breakpoints as the fund complex and the Funds increase in size, and through reinvestment in its business to provide shareholders additional services and enhancements to existing services. In particular, separate breakpoint schedules based on the size of the entire fund complex and on the size of each Fund reflect the complexity of assessing economies of scale.

Comparison to Fees of Funds not Managed by the Advisor. Both the Prior and Proposed Management Agreements provide that the Funds pay the Advisor a single, all-inclusive (or unified) management fee for providing all services necessary for the management and operation of the Funds, other than brokerage expenses, taxes, interest, extraordinary expenses, and the fees and expenses of the Funds’ 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 that 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 distribution fees, the 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 Funds 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 comparing each Fund’s unified fee to the total expense ratios of similar funds not managed by the Advisor. The

43



Board concluded that the management fee to be paid by each Fund to the Advisor under the Proposed Management Agreement is reasonable in light of the services to be provided to the Funds.

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 and extent of the services, fees, and profitability of its advisory services to advisory clients other than the Funds. They observed that these varying types of client accounts require different services and involve different regulatory and entrepreneurial risks than the management of the Funds. The Board analyzed this information and concluded that the fees charged and services provided to the Funds were reasonable by comparison.

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 Funds. They concluded 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 and concluded that this research is likely to benefit Fund shareholders. The Board also determined that the Advisor is able to provide investment management services to certain clients other than the Funds, 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, in any event, are included with the assets of the Funds to determine breakpoints in each Fund’s fee schedule, provided they are managed using the same investment team and strategy.

Conclusion of the Board. As a result of this process, the Board, in the absence of particular circumstances and assisted by the advice of its independent legal counsel, taking into account all of the factors discussed above and the information provided by the Advisor and others, concluded that the Proposed Management Agreement be approved and recommended its approval to Fund shareholders.
