Example
The example below is intended to help you compare the costs of investing in the fund with the costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods and that you earn a 5% return each year. The example also assumes that the fund’s operating expenses remain the same, except that it reflects the rate and duration of any fee waivers noted in the table above. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:
1 year3 years5 years10 years
Investor Class$122$378$655$1,443
I Class$101$316$548$1,213
A Class$713$1,005$1,317$2,199
R Class$172$533$919$1,996
R6 Class$86$269$467$1,037
G Class$4$13$23$52
Portfolio Turnover
The fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 62% of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal Investment Strategies
Under normal market conditions, the fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in equity securities of non-U.S. companies. The portfolio managers seek to identify securities they believe are trading at significant discounts to their intrinsic value. The portfolio managers assess qualitative and quantitative factors to select and weight securities for the fund. Quantitative factors are numeric, measurable characteristics, such as assessing historical financial statements. Qualitative factors include subjective judgments on non-quantifiable information, such as corporate governance, country of domicile, level of transparency, industry cycles, brand value, pricing power, product concentration, customer diversification, capital structure, and regulatory risks.
The fund may invest in both developed and emerging markets and generally intends to invest across different countries and geographic regions. The fund may invest in common stock and other equity securities that are denominated in foreign currencies and may also invest in foreign securities that are represented in the U.S. securities markets by American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) or similar depositary arrangements.
The fund may invest in companies of all market capitalizations, including small-cap companies, but generally invests in companies with a market capitalization of $1 billion or larger. The fund has significant flexibility to invest wherever the portfolio managers believe value can be found. This investment selection process may result in market sectors or industries being over- or under-weighted as compared to the fund’s benchmark and will likely result in the fund holding a smaller number of securities relative to peers—generally 40 to 60 holdings.
The portfolio managers generally sell a stock when they believe a security has reached its intrinsic value estimate or has become less attractive relative to other opportunities, when specific events alter a security’s prospects, or when rebalancing of the portfolio is necessary as a result of significant price movement.
Principal Risks
Foreign Risk – Foreign securities are generally riskier than U.S. securities. Political events (such as civil unrest, national elections and imposition of exchange controls), social and economic events (such as labor strikes and rising inflation), natural disasters and public health emergencies occurring in a country where the fund invests could cause the fund’s investments in that country to experience gains or losses. Securities of foreign issuers may be less liquid, more volatile and harder to value than U.S. securities.
Emerging Markets Risk – Investing in emerging market countries generally is riskier than investing in foreign developed countries. Emerging market countries may have unstable governments, economies that are subject to sudden change, and significant volatility in their financial markets. These countries also may lack the legal, business and social framework to support securities markets.
Currency Risk – The fund could experience gains or losses solely on changes in the exchange rate between foreign currencies and the U.S. dollar.
Small Number of Holdings Risk – A fund with a small number of holdings may have greater exposure to those holdings which could increase potential price volatility compared to portfolios with a greater number of holdings.



Single Country Risk – Investing a significant portion of assets in one country or region makes the fund more dependent upon the political and economic circumstances of that particular country or region than a fund that is more widely diversified.
Market Risk – The value of the fund’s shares will go up and down based on the performance of the companies whose securities it owns and other factors generally affecting the securities market. Market risks, including political, regulatory, economic and social developments, can affect the value of the fund’s investments. Natural disasters, public health emergencies, war, terrorism and other unforeseeable events may lead to increased market volatility and may have adverse long-term effects on world economies and markets generally.
Sector Risk – From time to time, the fund may invest a significant portion of its assets in securities of companies conducting business in a related group of industries within an economic sector. Companies in the same economic sector may be similarly affected by economic, regulatory, political or market events or conditions, making the fund more vulnerable to unfavorable developments in that economic sector.
Depositary Receipts Risk – Investment in depositary receipts does not eliminate all the risks inherent in investing in securities of non-U.S. issuers. The market value of depositary receipts is dependent upon the market value of the underlying securities and fluctuations in the relative value of the currencies in which the depositary receipts and the underlying securities are quoted.
Price Volatility Risk – The value of the fund’s shares may fluctuate significantly in the short term.
Small-Cap Stock Risk – Smaller companies may have limited financial resources, product lines, markets and have less publicly available information. These securities may trade less frequently and in more limited volumes than larger companies’ securities, leading to higher transaction costs. Smaller companies also may be more sensitive to changing economic conditions, and investments in smaller foreign companies may experience more price volatility.
Mid-Cap Stock Risk – The mid-sized companies in which the fund invests may present greater opportunities for capital growth than larger companies, but also may be more volatile and present greater risks.
Redemption Risk – The fund may need to sell securities at times it would not otherwise do so to meet shareholder redemption requests. Selling securities to meet such redemptions may cause the fund to experience a loss, increase the fund’s transaction costs or have tax consequences. To the extent that a large shareholder (including a fund of funds) invests in the fund, the fund may experience relatively large redemptions as such shareholder reallocates its assets.
Style Risk – If the market does not consider the individual stocks purchased by the fund to be undervalued, the value of the fund’s shares may not rise as high as other funds and may in fact decline, even if stock prices generally are increasing.
Principal Loss Risk – At any given time your shares may be worth less than the price you paid for them. In other words, it is possible to lose money by investing in the fund.
An investment in the fund is not a bank deposit, and it is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) or any other government agency.

Investors opening accounts through financial intermediaries may open an account with $250 for Investor, A and R Classes, but the financial intermediaries may require their clients to meet different investment minimums. The minimum may be waived for broker-dealer sponsored wrap program accounts, fee based accounts, and accounts through bank/trust and wealth management advisory organizations.
The minimum initial investment amount for the I Class is generally $5 million ($3 million for endowments and foundations), but the minimum may be waived if you have an aggregate investment in the American Century family of funds of $10 million or more ($5 million for endowments and foundations). This includes accounts held directly with American Century and those held through a financial intermediary.
There is no minimum initial investment amount for R6 class shares.
For Investor, A, R and R6 Classes, there is no minimum initial investment amount for certain employer-sponsored retirement plans, however, financial intermediaries or plan recordkeepers may require plans to meet different minimums. Employer-sponsored retirement plans are not eligible to invest in the I Class.
There is a $50 minimum for subsequent purchases, except that there is no subsequent purchase minimum for financial intermediaries or employer-sponsored retirement plans.
G Class shares are available for purchase by other funds offered by American Century Investments for which it charges a management fee. In its sole discretion, American Century Investments may also make G Class shares available for purchase by other institutional clients for which American Century Investments provides investment management services for a fee pursuant to an investment advisory agreement. Currently, eligible clients are limited to commingled investment trusts or other pooled investment vehicles that utilize a target date or other asset allocation investment strategy for which American Century Investments provides asset allocation or glide path investment management services for a fee. G Class shares do not have a minimum purchase amount.
Tax Information
Fund distributions are generally taxable as ordinary income or capital gains, unless you are investing through a tax-deferred account such as a 401(k) or individual retirement account (in which case you may be taxed upon withdrawal of your investment from such account).
Payments to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries
If you purchase the fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank, insurance company, plan sponsor or financial professional), the fund and its related companies may pay the intermediary for the sale of fund shares and related services for investments in all classes except the R6 and G Classes. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other intermediary and your salesperson to recommend the fund over another investment. Ask your salesperson or visit your financial intermediary’s website for more information.
