President’s Letter

Dear Investor:

Thank you for reviewing this semiannual report for the period ended September 30, 2023. It provides a market overview (below), followed by a schedule of fund investments and other financial information. For additional investment insights, please visit americancentury.com.

Stocks Persevered, Bonds Struggled

Soaring Treasury yields weighed on bond returns for the six-month period. Stocks rallied in the first half of the reporting period before succumbing to the Treasury yield surge in the second half.

Investor expectations for the Federal Reserve (Fed) to conclude its rate-hike campaign helped fuel investor optimism early in the period. Inflation’s steady slowdown, tighter lending conditions and growing recession worries contributed to that outlook. Supported by better-than-expected corporate earnings, U.S. stocks rose sharply, while bonds retreated on rising Treasury yields.

With inflation still higher than central bank targets, the Fed increased interest rates a quarter point in May before pausing in June. Policymakers resumed their tightening campaign in July, raising rates to a range of 5.25% to 5.5%, a 22-year high, and paused again in September. Citing still-higher-than-target inflation and still-solid economic data, the Fed left its future policy options open, and investors digested a higher-for-longer rate outlook. Treasury yields marched higher, including the benchmark 10-year Treasury yield, which reached a 16-year high late in the period. Overall, the 10-year Treasury yield jumped from 3.47% on March 31 to 4.58% at September-end, while the two-year yield rocketed from 4.03% to 5.05%.

The first-half rally helped the S&P 500 Index overcome its second-half decline, and stocks returned 5.18% for the six-month period. Growth stocks sharply outperformed value stocks. Meanwhile, amid elevated inflation and significantly higher Treasury yields, investment-grade bonds broadly declined for the six months.

Remaining Diligent in Uncertain Times

We expect market volatility to linger as investors navigate a complex environment of persistent inflation, tighter financial conditions and recession risk. In addition, heightened geopolitical unrest complicates the global backdrop and represents another key consideration for our investment teams.

Our firm has a long history of helping clients weather unpredictable and volatile markets, and we’re determined to meet today’s challenges. Thank you for your trust and confidence in American Century Investments.

With appreciation and respect,

Shareholder Fee Example 

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

The example is based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from April 1, 2023 to September 30, 2023.

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 mutual fund, or I Class shares of the American Century Diversified Bond Fund, in an American Century Investments account (i.e., not through a financial intermediary or employer-sponsored retirement plan account), American Century Investments may charge you a $25 annual 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 $25 fee. In determining your total eligible investment amount, we will include your investments in all personal accounts (including American Century Investments brokerage accounts) registered under your Social Security number. Personal accounts include individual accounts, joint accounts, UGMA/UTMA accounts, personal trusts, Coverdell Education Savings Accounts and IRAs (including traditional, Roth, Rollover, SEP-, SARSEP- and SIMPLE-IRAs), and certain other retirement accounts. If you have only business, business retirement, employer-sponsored or American Century Investments brokerage accounts, you are currently not subject to this fee. If you are subject to the account maintenance fee, your account value could be reduced by the fee amount.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

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

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

(1)Expenses are equal to the class's annualized expense ratio listed in the table above, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 183, the number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year, divided by 366, to reflect the one-half year period. Annualized expense ratio reflects actual expenses, including any applicable fee waivers or expense reimbursements and excluding any acquired fund fees and expenses.

Notes to Financial Statements

SEPTEMBER 30, 2023 (UNAUDITED)

1. Organization

American Century Investment Trust (the trust) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company and is organized as a Massachusetts business trust. Core Plus Fund (the fund) is one fund in a series issued by the trust. The fund’s investment objective is to seek to maximize total return. As a secondary objective, the fund seeks a high level of income.

The fund offers the Investor Class, I Class, A Class, C Class, R Class, R5 Class and G Class. The A Class may incur an initial sales charge. The A Class and C Class may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge. 

2. Significant Accounting Policies

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

Investment Valuations — The fund determines the fair value of its investments and computes its net asset value (NAV) per share at the close of regular trading (usually 4 p.m. Eastern time) on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on each day the NYSE is open. The value of investments of the fund is determined by American Century Investment Management, Inc. (ACIM) (the investment advisor), as the valuation designee, pursuant to its valuation policies and procedures. The Board of Trustees oversees the valuation designee and reviews its valuation policies and procedures at least annually.

Fixed income securities are valued at the evaluated mean as provided by independent pricing services or at the mean of the most recent bid and asked prices as provided by investment dealers. Corporate bonds, U.S. Treasury and Government Agency securities, bank loan obligations, municipal securities and sovereign governments and agencies are valued using market models that consider trade data, quotations from dealers and active market makers, relevant yield curve and spread data, creditworthiness, trade data or market information on comparable securities, and other relevant security specific information. Mortgage-related and asset-backed securities are valued based on models that consider trade data, prepayment and default projections, benchmark yield and spread data and estimated cash flows of each tranche of the issuer. Collateralized loan obligations are valued based on discounted cash flow models that consider trade and economic data, prepayment assumptions and default projections. Fixed income securities initially expressed in local currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the mean of the appropriate currency exchange rate at the close of the NYSE as provided by an independent pricing service.

Equity securities that are listed or traded on a domestic securities exchange are valued at the last reported sales price or at the official closing price as provided by the exchange. Equity securities traded on foreign securities exchanges are generally valued at the closing price of such securities on the exchange where primarily traded or at the close of the NYSE, if that is earlier. If no last sales price is reported, or if local convention or regulation so provides, the mean of the latest bid and asked prices may be used. Securities traded over-the-counter are valued at the mean of the latest bid and asked prices, the last sales price, or the official closing price. Equity securities initially expressed in local currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the mean of the appropriate currency exchange rate at the close of the NYSE as provided by an independent pricing service.

Hybrid securities are valued at the evaluated mean as provided by independent pricing services or at the mean of the most recent bid and asked prices as provided by investment dealers. Preferred stocks and convertible preferred stocks with perpetual maturities are valued using market models that consider trade data, quotations from dealers and active market makers, relevant yield curve and spread data, creditworthiness, trade data or market information on comparable securities, and other relevant security specific information.
27



Open-end management investment companies are valued at the reported NAV per share. Repurchase agreements are valued at cost, which approximates fair value. Exchange-traded futures contracts are valued at the settlement price as provided by the appropriate exchange. Swap agreements are valued at an evaluated mean as provided by independent pricing services or independent brokers. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are valued at the mean of the appropriate forward exchange rate at the close of the NYSE as provided by an independent pricing service. Investments initially expressed in local currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the mean of the appropriate currency exchange rate at the close of the NYSE as provided by an independent pricing service.

If the valuation designee determines that the market price for a portfolio security is not readily available or is believed by the valuation designee to be unreliable, such security is valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the valuation designee, in accordance with its policies and procedures. Circumstances that may cause the fund to determine that market quotations are not available or reliable include, but are not limited to: when there is a significant event subsequent to the market quotation; trading in a security has been halted during the trading day; or trading in a security is insufficient or did not take place due to a closure or holiday.

The valuation designee monitors for significant events occurring after the close of an investment’s primary exchange but before the fund’s NAV per share is determined. Significant events may include, but are not limited to: corporate announcements and transactions; regulatory news, governmental action and political unrest that could impact a specific investment or an investment sector; or armed conflicts, natural disasters and similar events that could affect investments in a specific country or region. The valuation designee also monitors for significant fluctuations between domestic and foreign markets, as evidenced by the U.S. market or such other indicators that it deems appropriate. The valuation designee may apply a model-derived factor to the closing price of equity securities traded on foreign securities exchanges. The factor is based on observable market data as provided by an independent pricing service.

Security Transactions — Security transactions are accounted for as of the trade date. Net realized gains and losses are determined on the identified cost basis, which is also used for federal income tax purposes.

Investment Income — Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis and includes paydown gain (loss) and accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums. Inflation adjustments related to inflation-linked debt securities are reflected as interest income.

Foreign Currency Translations — All assets and liabilities initially expressed in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at prevailing exchange rates at period end. The fund may enter into spot foreign currency exchange contracts to facilitate transactions denominated in a foreign currency. Purchases and sales of investment securities, dividend and interest income, spot foreign currency exchange contracts, and expenses are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. Net realized and unrealized foreign currency exchange gains or losses related to investment securities are a component of net realized gain (loss) on investment transactions and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments, respectively.

Forward Commitments — The fund may engage in securities transactions on a forward commitment basis. In these transactions, the securities’ prices and yields are fixed on the date of the commitment. The fund may sell a to-be-announced (TBA) security and at the same time make a commitment to purchase the same security at a future date at a specified price. Conversely, the fund may purchase a TBA security and at the same time make a commitment to sell the same security at a future date at a specified price. These types of transactions are known as “TBA roll” transactions and are accounted for as purchases and sales. The fund will segregate cash, cash equivalents or other appropriate liquid securities on its records in amounts sufficient to meet the purchase price.

Repurchase Agreements — The fund may enter into repurchase agreements with institutions that ACIM has determined are creditworthy pursuant to criteria adopted by the Board of Trustees. The fund requires that the collateral, represented by securities, received in a repurchase transaction be transferred to the custodian in a manner sufficient to enable the fund to obtain those securities in the event of a default under the repurchase agreement. ACIM monitors, on a daily basis, the securities transferred to ensure the value, including accrued interest, of the securities under each repurchase agreement is equal to or greater than amounts owed to the fund under each repurchase agreement.

28


Joint Trading Account — Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the fund, along with certain other funds in the American Century Investments family of funds, may transfer uninvested cash balances into a joint trading account. These balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Agency obligations.

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

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

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

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

3. Fees and Transactions with Related Parties

Certain officers and trustees of the trust are also officers and/or directors of American Century Companies, Inc. (ACC). The trust's investment advisor, ACIM, the trust's distributor, American Century Investment Services, Inc. (ACIS), and the trust's transfer agent, American Century Services, LLC, are wholly owned, directly or indirectly, by ACC. Various funds issued by American Century Asset Allocation Portfolios, Inc. own, in aggregate, 75% of the shares of the fund. Related parties do not invest in the fund for the purpose of exercising management or control.

Management Fees — The trust has entered into a management agreement with ACIM, under which ACIM provides the fund with investment advisory and management services in exchange for a single, unified management fee (the fee) per class. The agreement provides that ACIM will pay all expenses of managing and operating the fund, except brokerage expenses, taxes, interest, fees and expenses of the independent trustees (including legal counsel fees), extraordinary expenses, 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. The fee is computed and accrued daily based on each class’s daily net assets and paid monthly in arrears. The difference in the fee among the classes is a result of their separate arrangements for non-Rule 12b-1 shareholder services. It is not the result of any difference in advisory or custodial fees or other expenses related to the management of the fund's assets, which do not vary by class. The fee consists of (1) an Investment Category Fee based on the daily net assets of the fund and certain other accounts managed by the investment advisor that are in the same broad investment category as the fund and (2) a Complex Fee based on the assets of all funds in the American Century Investments family of funds that have the same investment advisor and distributor as the fund. For purposes of determining the Investment Category Fee and Complex Fee, the assets of funds managed by the investment advisor that invest exclusively in the shares of other funds (funds of funds) are not included. The investment advisor agreed to waive the G Class's management fee in its entirety. The investment advisor expects this waiver to remain in effect permanently and cannot terminate it without the approval of the Board of Trustees.

29


The Investment Category Fee range, the Complex Fee range and the effective annual management fee for each class for the period ended September 30, 2023 are as follows:

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, C Class and R Class (collectively the plans), pursuant to Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act. The plans provide that the A Class will pay ACIS an annual distribution and service fee of 0.25%. The plans provide that the C Class will pay ACIS an annual distribution and service fee of 1.00%, of which 0.25% is paid for individual shareholder services and 0.75% is paid for distribution services. The plans provide that the R Class will pay ACIS an annual distribution and service fee of 0.50%. 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 period ended September 30, 2023 are detailed in the Statement of Operations.

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

Other Expenses — A fund’s other expenses may include interest charges, clearing exchange fees, proxy solicitation expenses, fees associated with the recovery of foreign tax reclaims and other miscellaneous expenses.

Interfund Transactions — The fund may enter into security transactions with other American Century Investments funds and other client accounts of the investment advisor, in accordance with the 1940 Act rules and procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. The rules and procedures require, among other things, that these transactions be effected at the independent current market price of the security. There were no interfund transactions during the period.

4. Investment Transactions

Purchases of investment securities, excluding short-term investments, for the period ended September 30, 2023 totaled $279,209,021, of which $189,762,628 represented U.S. Treasury and Government Agency obligations.

6. Fair Value Measurements

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

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

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

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

The level classification is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair valuation measurement. The valuation inputs are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in these securities or other financial instruments.

The following is a summary of the level classifications as of period end. The Schedule of Investments provides additional information on the fund's portfolio holdings.

7. Derivative Instruments

Credit Risk — The fund is subject to credit risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The value of a bond generally declines as the credit quality of its issuer declines. Credit default swap agreements enable a fund to buy/sell protection against a credit event of a specific issuer or index. A fund may attempt to enhance returns by selling protection or attempt to mitigate credit risk by buying protection. The buyer/seller of credit protection against a security or basket of securities may pay/receive an up-front or periodic payment to compensate for/against potential default events. Changes in value, including the periodic amounts of interest to be paid or received on swap agreements, are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on swap agreements. Upon entering into a centrally cleared swap, a fund is required to deposit cash or securities (initial margin) with a financial intermediary in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the notional amount. A fund may incur charges or earn income on cash deposit balances, which are reflected in interest expenses or interest income, respectively. 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 value and is a component of unrealized gains and losses. Realized gain or loss is recorded upon receipt or payment of a periodic settlement or termination of swap agreements. Net realized and unrealized gains or losses occurring during the holding period of swap agreements are a component of net realized gain (loss) on swap agreement transactions and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on swap agreements, respectively. The risks of entering into swap agreements include the possible lack of liquidity, failure of the counterparty to meet its obligations, and that there may be unfavorable changes in the underlying investments or instruments. The fund's average notional amount held during the period was $8,034,840.

Foreign Currency Risk — The fund is subject to foreign currency exchange rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The value of foreign investments held by a fund may be significantly affected by changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The dollar value of a foreign security generally decreases when the value of the dollar rises against the foreign currency in which the security is denominated and tends to increase when the value of the dollar declines against such foreign currency. A fund may enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts to reduce a fund's exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations or to gain exposure to the fluctuations in the value of foreign currencies. A fund will segregate cash, cash equivalents or other appropriate liquid securities on its records in amounts sufficient to meet requirements. The net U.S. dollar value of foreign currency underlying all contractual commitments held by a fund and the resulting unrealized appreciation or depreciation are determined daily. Realized gain or loss is recorded upon settlement of the contract. Net realized and unrealized gains or losses occurring during the holding period of forward foreign currency exchange contracts are a component of net realized gain (loss) on forward foreign currency exchange contract transactions and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on forward foreign currency exchange contracts, respectively. A fund bears the risk of an unfavorable change in the foreign currency exchange rate underlying the forward contract. Additionally, losses, up to the fair value, may arise if the counterparties do not perform under the contract terms. The fund's average U.S. dollar exposure to foreign currency risk derivative instruments held during the period was $4,402,593.

Interest Rate Risk — The fund is subject to interest rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The value of bonds generally declines as interest rates rise. A fund may enter into futures contracts based on a bond index or a specific underlying security. A fund may purchase futures contracts to gain exposure to increases in market value or sell futures contracts to protect against a decline in market value. Upon entering into a futures contract, a fund will segregate cash, cash equivalents or other appropriate liquid securities on its records in amounts sufficient to meet requirements. A fund may incur charges or earn income on cash deposit balances, which are reflected in interest expenses or interest income, respectively. Subsequent payments (variation margin) are made or received daily, in cash, by a fund. The variation margin is equal to the daily change in the contract value and is recorded as unrealized gains and losses. A fund recognizes a realized gain or loss when the futures contract is closed or expires. Net realized and unrealized gains or losses occurring during the holding period of futures contracts are a component of net realized gain (loss) on futures contract transactions and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on futures contracts, respectively. One of the risks of entering into futures contracts is the possibility that the change in value of the contract may not correlate with the changes in value of the underlying securities. The fund's average notional exposure to interest rate risk derivative instruments held during the period was $124,008,075 futures contracts purchased.

33


Other Contracts — A fund may enter into total return swap agreements in order to attempt to obtain or preserve a particular return or spread at a lower cost than obtaining a return or spread through purchases and/or sales of instruments in other markets or gain exposure to certain markets in the most economical way possible. A fund will segregate cash, cash equivalents or other appropriate liquid securities on its records in amounts sufficient to meet requirements. Changes in value, including the periodic amounts of interest to be paid or received on swap agreements, are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on swap agreements. Upon entering into a centrally cleared swap, a fund is required to deposit cash or securities (initial margin) with a financial intermediary in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the notional amount. A fund may incur charges or earn income on cash deposit balances, which are reflected in interest expenses or interest income, respectively. 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 value and is a component of unrealized gains and losses. Realized gain or loss is recorded upon receipt or payment of a periodic settlement or termination of swap agreements. Net realized and unrealized gains or losses occurring during the holding period of swap agreements are a component of net realized gain (loss) on swap agreement transactions and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on swap agreements, respectively. The risks of entering into swap agreements include the possible lack of liquidity, failure of the counterparty to meet its obligations, and that there may be unfavorable changes in the underlying investments or instruments, including inflationary risk. The fund's average notional amount held during the period was $7,900,000.

8. Risk Factors

The value of the fund’s shares will go up and down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably, based on the performance of the securities owned by the fund 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.

The fund may invest in instruments that have variable or floating coupon rates based on the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR). LIBOR is a benchmark interest rate intended to be representative of the rate at which certain major international banks lend to one another over short-terms. Financial institutions have started the process of phasing out LIBOR and the transition process to a replacement rate may lead to increased volatility or illiquidity in markets for instruments that rely on LIBOR. This could result in a change to the value of such instruments or a change in the cost of temporary borrowing for the fund.

There are certain risks involved in investing in foreign securities. These risks include those resulting from political events (such as civil unrest, national elections and imposition of exchange controls), social and economic events (such as labor strikes and rising inflation), and natural disasters. Securities of foreign issuers may be less liquid and more volatile. Investing in emerging markets or a significant portion of assets in one country or region may accentuate these risks.

The fund's investment process may result in high portfolio turnover, which could mean high transaction costs, affecting both performance and capital gains tax liabilities to investors.

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 period end, the components of investments for federal income tax purposes were as follows:
Federal tax cost of investments$421,634,977 
Gross tax appreciation of investments$217,771 
Gross tax depreciation of investments(31,946,294)
Net tax appreciation (depreciation) of investments$(31,728,523)

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

As of March 31, 2023, the fund had accumulated short-term capital losses of $(32,012,982) and accumulated long-term capital losses of $(28,462,293), 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 may be carried forward for an unlimited period. Future capital loss carryover utilization in any given year may be subject to Internal Revenue Code limitations.

Approval of Management Agreement

At a meeting held on June 14, 2023, the Fund’s Board of Trustees (the "Board") unanimously approved the renewal of the management agreement pursuant to which American Century Investment Management, Inc. (the “Advisor”) acts as the investment advisor for the Fund. Under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Investment Company Act”), contracts for investment advisory services are required to be reviewed, evaluated, and approved by a majority of a fund’s Trustees, including a majority of the independent Trustees. The Board regards this annual evaluation and renewal as one of its most important responsibilities.

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

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

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

the nature, extent, and quality of investment management, shareholder services, distribution services, and other services provided to the Fund;
the wide range of programs and services the Advisor and other service providers provide to the Fund and its shareholders on a routine and non-routine basis;
the Fund’s investment performance compared to appropriate benchmarks and/or peer groups of other mutual funds with similar investment objectives and strategies;
the cost of owning the Fund compared to the cost of owning similarly-managed funds;
the Advisor’s compliance policies, procedures, and regulatory experience and those of certain other service providers;
the Advisor’s strategic plans, generally, and with respect to areas of heightened regulatory interest in the mutual fund industry and certain recent geopolitical and other issues;
the Advisor’s business continuity plans, vendor management practices, and information security practices;
the cost of services provided to the Fund, the profitability of the Fund to the Advisor, and the Advisor’s financial results of operation;
possible economies of scale associated with the Advisor’s management of the Fund;
any collateral benefits derived by the Advisor from the management of the Fund;
fees and expenses associated with any investment by the Fund in other funds;
payments to intermediaries by the Fund and the Advisor and services provided by intermediaries in connection therewith; and
services provided and charges to the Advisor’s other investment management clients.

In keeping with its practice, the Board held two meetings and the independent Trustees met in private session to discuss the renewal and to review and discuss the information provided in response to their request. The Board held active discussions with the Advisor regarding the renewal of the management agreement. The independent Trustees had the benefit of the advice of their independent counsel throughout the process.
40



Factors Considered

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

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services — Generally. Under the management agreement, the Advisor is responsible for providing or arranging for all services necessary for the operation of the Fund. The Board noted that the Advisor provides or arranges at its own expense a wide variety of services including but not limited to

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

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

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

41



Shareholder and Other Services. Under the management agreement, the Advisor, either directly or through affiliates or third parties, provides the Fund with a comprehensive package of transfer agency, shareholder, and other services. The Board, directly and through its various committees, regularly reviews reports and evaluations of such services at its regular meetings. These reports include, but are not limited to, information regarding the operational efficiency and accuracy of the shareholder and transfer agency services provided, staffing levels, shareholder satisfaction, technology support (including information security), new products and services offered to Fund shareholders, securities trading activities, portfolio valuation services, auditing services, and legal and operational compliance activities. The Board found the services provided by the Advisor to the Fund under the management agreement to be competitive and of high quality.

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

Ethics. The Board generally considers the Advisor’s commitment to providing quality services to shareholders and to conducting its business ethically. They 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 Fund. The Board concluded that economies of scale are difficult to measure and predict with precision, especially on a fund-by-fund basis. The Board concluded that the Advisor is appropriately sharing economies of scale, to the extent they exist, through its fee structure and through reinvestment in its business, infrastructure, investment capabilities and initiatives to provide shareholders enhanced and expanded services.

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

42



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

Payments to Intermediaries. The Trustees also requested and received a description of payments made to intermediaries by the Fund and the Advisor and services provided by intermediaries. These payments include various payments made by the Fund or the Advisor to different types of intermediaries and recordkeepers for distribution and service activities provided with respect to the Fund. The Trustees reviewed such information and received representations from the Advisor that all such payments by the Fund were made pursuant to the Fund’s Rule 12b-1 Plan and that all such payments by the Advisor were made from the Advisor’s resources and reasonable profits.

Collateral or “Fall-Out” Benefits Derived by the Advisor. The Board considered the possible existence of collateral benefits the Advisor may receive as a result of its relationship with the Fund. The Board noted that the Advisor’s primary business is managing 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 may receive proprietary research from broker-dealers that execute fund portfolio transactions. The Board also determined that the Advisor is able to provide investment management services to certain clients other than the Fund, at least in part, due to its existing infrastructure built to serve the fund complex. The Board also noted that the assets of those other accounts are, where applicable, included with the assets of the Fund to determine breakpoints in the management fee schedule.

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

Conclusion of the Trustees. As a result of this process, the Board, including all of the independent Trustees, taking into account all of the factors discussed above and the information provided by the Advisor and others in connection with its review and received over time, concluded that the terms of the management agreement are fair and reasonable and that the management fee charged to the Fund is reasonable in light of the services provided and that the management agreement between the Fund and the Advisor should be renewed for an additional one-year period.

Additional Information

Retirement Account Information

As required by law, distributions you receive from certain retirement accounts are subject to federal income tax withholding at the IRS default rate of 10%.* Tax will be withheld on the total amount withdrawn even though you may be receiving amounts that are not subject to withholding, such as nondeductible contributions. In such case, excess amounts of withholding could occur. You may adjust your withholding election so that a greater or lesser amount will be withheld.

You may elect a different withholding rate, or request zero withholding, by submitting an acceptable IRS Form W-4R election with your distribution request. You may notify us of your W-4R election by telephone, on our distribution forms, on IRS Form W-4R, or through other acceptable electronic means. If your withholding election is for an automatic withdrawal plan, you have the right to revoke your election at any time and any election you make will remain in effect until revoked by filing a new election.

Remember, even if you elect not to have income tax withheld, you are liable for paying income tax on the taxable portion of your withdrawal. If you elect not to have income tax withheld or you don’t have enough income tax withheld, you may be responsible for payment of estimated tax. You may incur penalties under the estimated tax rules if your withholding and estimated tax payments are not sufficient. You can reduce or defer the income tax on a distribution by directly or indirectly rolling such distribution over to another IRA or eligible plan. You should consult your tax advisor for additional information.

State tax will be withheld according to state regulations if, at the time of your distribution, your tax residency is within one of the mandatory withholding states.

*Some 403(b), 457 and qualified retirement plan distributions may be subject to 20% mandatory withholding, as they are subject to special tax and withholding rules.  Your plan administrator or plan sponsor is required to provide you with a special tax notice explaining those rules at the time you request a distribution.  If applicable, federal and/or state taxes may be withheld from your distribution amount.

President’s Letter

Dear Investor:

Thank you for reviewing this semiannual report for the period ended September 30, 2023. It provides a market overview (below), followed by a schedule of fund investments and other financial information. For additional investment insights, please visit americancentury.com.

Stocks Persevered, Bonds Struggled

Soaring Treasury yields weighed on bond returns for the six-month period. Stocks rallied in the first half of the reporting period before succumbing to the Treasury yield surge in the second half.

Investor expectations for the Federal Reserve (Fed) to conclude its rate-hike campaign helped fuel investor optimism early in the period. Inflation’s steady slowdown, tighter lending conditions and growing recession worries contributed to that outlook. Supported by better-than-expected corporate earnings, U.S. stocks rose sharply, while bonds retreated on rising Treasury yields.

With inflation still higher than central bank targets, the Fed increased interest rates a quarter point in May before pausing in June. Policymakers resumed their tightening campaign in July, raising rates to a range of 5.25% to 5.5%, a 22-year high, and paused again in September. Citing still-higher-than-target inflation and still-solid economic data, the Fed left its future policy options open, and investors digested a higher-for-longer rate outlook. Treasury yields marched higher, including the benchmark 10-year Treasury yield, which reached a 16-year high late in the period. Overall, the 10-year Treasury yield jumped from 3.47% on March 31 to 4.58% at September-end, while the two-year yield rocketed from 4.03% to 5.05%.

The first-half rally helped the S&P 500 Index overcome its second-half decline, and stocks returned 5.18% for the six-month period. Growth stocks sharply outperformed value stocks. Meanwhile, amid elevated inflation and significantly higher Treasury yields, investment-grade bonds broadly declined for the six months.

Remaining Diligent in Uncertain Times

We expect market volatility to linger as investors navigate a complex environment of persistent inflation, tighter financial conditions and recession risk. In addition, heightened geopolitical unrest complicates the global backdrop and represents another key consideration for our investment teams.

Our firm has a long history of helping clients weather unpredictable and volatile markets, and we’re determined to meet today’s challenges. Thank you for your trust and confidence in American Century Investments.

With appreciation and respect,

Shareholder Fee Example 

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

The example is based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from April 1, 2023 to September 30, 2023.

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 mutual fund, or I Class shares of the American Century Diversified Bond Fund, in an American Century Investments account (i.e., not through a financial intermediary or employer-sponsored retirement plan account), American Century Investments may charge you a $25 annual 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 $25 fee. In determining your total eligible investment amount, we will include your investments in all personal accounts (including American Century Investments brokerage accounts) registered under your Social Security number. Personal accounts include individual accounts, joint accounts, UGMA/UTMA accounts, personal trusts, Coverdell Education Savings Accounts and IRAs (including traditional, Roth, Rollover, SEP-, SARSEP- and SIMPLE-IRAs), and certain other retirement accounts. If you have only business, business retirement, employer-sponsored or American Century Investments brokerage accounts, you are currently not subject to this fee. If you are subject to the account maintenance fee, your account value could be reduced by the fee amount.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

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

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

(1)Expenses are equal to the class's annualized expense ratio listed in the table above, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 183, the number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year, divided by 366, to reflect the one-half year period. Annualized expense ratio reflects actual expenses, including any applicable fee waivers or expense reimbursements and excluding any acquired fund fees and expenses.

Notes to Financial Statements

SEPTEMBER 30, 2023 (UNAUDITED)

1. Organization

American Century Investment Trust (the trust) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company and is organized as a Massachusetts business trust. Diversified Bond Fund (the fund) is one fund in a series issued by the trust. The fund’s investment objective is to seek a high level of income by investing in non-money market debt securities.

The fund offers the Investor Class, I Class, Y Class, A Class, C Class, R Class, R5 Class, R6 Class and G Class. The A Class may incur an initial sales charge. The A Class and C Class may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge. Sale of the G Class commenced on May 19, 2022.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

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

Investment Valuations — The fund determines the fair value of its investments and computes its net asset value (NAV) per share at the close of regular trading (usually 4 p.m. Eastern time) on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on each day the NYSE is open. The value of investments of the fund is determined by American Century Investment Management, Inc. (ACIM) (the investment advisor), as the valuation designee, pursuant to its valuation policies and procedures. The Board of Trustees oversees the valuation designee and reviews its valuation policies and procedures at least annually.

Fixed income securities are valued at the evaluated mean as provided by independent pricing services or at the mean of the most recent bid and asked prices as provided by investment dealers. Corporate bonds, U.S. Treasury and Government Agency securities, bank loan obligations, municipal securities and sovereign governments and agencies are valued using market models that consider trade data, quotations from dealers and active market makers, relevant yield curve and spread data, creditworthiness, trade data or market information on comparable securities, and other relevant security specific information. Mortgage-related and asset-backed securities are valued based on models that consider trade data, prepayment and default projections, benchmark yield and spread data and estimated cash flows of each tranche of the issuer. Collateralized loan obligations are valued based on discounted cash flow models that consider trade and economic data, prepayment assumptions and default projections. Commercial paper is valued using a curve-based approach that considers money market rates for specific instruments, programs, currencies and maturity points from a variety of active market makers.

Open-end management investment companies are valued at the reported NAV per share. Repurchase agreements are valued at cost, which approximates fair value. Exchange-traded futures contracts are valued at the settlement price as provided by the appropriate exchange. Swap agreements are valued at an evaluated mean as provided by independent pricing services or independent brokers. Investments initially expressed in local currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the mean of the appropriate currency exchange rate at the close of the NYSE as provided by an independent pricing service.

If the valuation designee determines that the market price for a portfolio security is not readily available or is believed by the valuation designee to be unreliable, such security is valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the valuation designee, in accordance with its policies and procedures. Circumstances that may cause the fund to determine that market quotations are not available or reliable include, but are not limited to: when there is a significant event subsequent to the market quotation; trading in a security has been halted during the trading day; or trading in a security is insufficient or did not take place due to a closure or holiday.

28


The valuation designee monitors for significant events occurring after the close of an investment’s primary exchange but before the fund’s NAV per share is determined. Significant events may include, but are not limited to: corporate announcements and transactions; regulatory news, governmental action and political unrest that could impact a specific investment or an investment sector; or armed conflicts, natural disasters and similar events that could affect investments in a specific country or region.

Security Transactions — Security transactions are accounted for as of the trade date. Net realized gains and losses are determined on the identified cost basis, which is also used for federal income tax purposes.

Investment Income — Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis and includes paydown gain (loss) and accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums. Inflation adjustments related to inflation-linked debt securities are reflected as interest income.

Foreign Currency Translations — All assets and liabilities initially expressed in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at prevailing exchange rates at period end. The fund may enter into spot foreign currency exchange contracts to facilitate transactions denominated in a foreign currency. Purchases and sales of investment securities, dividend and interest income, spot foreign currency exchange contracts, and expenses are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. Net realized and unrealized foreign currency exchange gains or losses related to investment securities are a component of net realized gain (loss) on investment transactions and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments, respectively.

Forward Commitments — The fund may engage in securities transactions on a forward commitment basis. In these transactions, the securities’ prices and yields are fixed on the date of the commitment. The fund may sell a to-be-announced (TBA) security and at the same time make a commitment to purchase the same security at a future date at a specified price. Conversely, the fund may purchase a TBA security and at the same time make a commitment to sell the same security at a future date at a specified price. These types of transactions are known as “TBA roll” transactions and are accounted for as purchases and sales. The fund will segregate cash, cash equivalents or other appropriate liquid securities on its records in amounts sufficient to meet the purchase price.

Repurchase Agreements — The fund may enter into repurchase agreements with institutions that ACIM has determined are creditworthy pursuant to criteria adopted by the Board of Trustees. The fund requires that the collateral, represented by securities, received in a repurchase transaction be transferred to the custodian in a manner sufficient to enable the fund to obtain those securities in the event of a default under the repurchase agreement. ACIM monitors, on a daily basis, the securities transferred to ensure the value, including accrued interest, of the securities under each repurchase agreement is equal to or greater than amounts owed to the fund under each repurchase agreement.

Joint Trading Account — Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the fund, along with certain other funds in the American Century Investments family of funds, may transfer uninvested cash balances into a joint trading account. These balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Agency obligations.

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

Multiple Class — All shares of the fund represent an equal pro rata interest in the net assets of the class to which such shares belong, and have identical voting, dividend, liquidation and other rights and the same terms and conditions, except for class specific expenses and exclusive rights to vote on matters affecting only individual classes. Income, non-class specific expenses, and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses of the fund are allocated to each class of shares based on their relative net assets.
29


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

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

3. Fees and Transactions with Related Parties

Certain officers and trustees of the trust are also officers and/or directors of American Century Companies, Inc. (ACC). The trust's investment advisor, ACIM, the trust's distributor, American Century Investment Services, Inc. (ACIS), and the trust's transfer agent, American Century Services, LLC, are wholly owned, directly or indirectly, by ACC. Various funds issued by American Century Asset Allocation Portfolios, Inc. own, in aggregate, 39% of the shares of the fund. Related parties do not invest in the fund for the purpose of exercising management or control.

Management Fees — The trust has entered into a management agreement with ACIM, under which ACIM provides the fund with investment advisory and management services in exchange for a single, unified management fee (the fee) per class. The agreement provides that ACIM will pay all expenses of managing and operating the fund, except brokerage expenses, taxes, interest, fees and expenses of the independent trustees (including legal counsel fees), extraordinary expenses, 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. The fee is computed and accrued daily based on each class’s daily net assets and paid monthly in arrears. The difference in the fee among the classes is a result of their separate arrangements for non-Rule 12b-1 shareholder services. It is not the result of any difference in advisory or custodial fees or other expenses related to the management of the fund's assets, which do not vary by class. The fee consists of (1) an Investment Category Fee based on the daily net assets of the fund and certain other accounts managed by the investment advisor that are in the same broad investment category as the fund and (2) a Complex Fee based on the assets of all funds in the American Century Investments family of funds that have the same investment advisor and distributor as the fund. For purposes of determining the Investment Category Fee and Complex Fee, the assets of funds managed by the investment advisor that invest exclusively in the shares of other funds (funds of funds) are not included. The investment advisor agreed to waive the G Class's management fee in its entirety. The investment advisor expects this waiver to remain in effect permanently and cannot terminate it without the approval of the Board of Trustees.

The Investment Category Fee range, the Complex Fee range and the effective annual management fee for each class for the period ended September 30, 2023 are as follows:

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, C Class and R Class (collectively the plans), pursuant to Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act. The plans provide that the A Class will pay ACIS an annual distribution and service fee of 0.25%. The plans provide that the C Class will pay ACIS an annual distribution and service fee of 1.00%, of which 0.25% is paid for individual shareholder services and 0.75% is paid for distribution services. The plans provide that the R Class will pay ACIS an annual distribution and service fee of 0.50%. 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 period ended September 30, 2023 are detailed in the Statement of Operations.

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

Other Expenses — A fund’s other expenses may include interest charges, clearing exchange fees, proxy solicitation expenses, fees associated with the recovery of foreign tax reclaims and other miscellaneous expenses.

Interfund Transactions — The fund may enter into security transactions with other American Century Investments funds and other client accounts of the investment advisor, in accordance with the 1940 Act rules and procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. The rules and procedures require, among other things, that these transactions be effected at the independent current market price of the security. There were no interfund transactions during the period.

4. Investment Transactions

Purchases of investment securities, excluding short-term investments, for the period ended September 30, 2023 totaled $5,037,692,595, of which $3,746,100,452 represented U.S. Treasury and Government Agency obligations.

Sales of investment securities, excluding short-term investments, for the period ended September 30, 2023 totaled $4,720,948,418, of which $3,378,940,067 represented U.S. Treasury and Government Agency obligations.

6. Fair Value Measurements

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

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

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

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

The level classification is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair valuation measurement. The valuation inputs are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in these securities or other financial instruments.

The following is a summary of the level classifications as of period end. The Schedule of Investments provides additional information on the fund's portfolio holdings.

7. Derivative Instruments

Credit Risk — The fund is subject to credit risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The value of a bond generally declines as the credit quality of its issuer declines. Credit default swap agreements enable a fund to buy/sell protection against a credit event of a specific issuer or index. A fund may attempt to enhance returns by selling protection or attempt to mitigate credit risk by buying protection. The buyer/seller of credit protection against a security or basket of securities may pay/receive an up-front or periodic payment to compensate for/against potential default events. Changes in value, including the periodic amounts of interest to be paid or received on swap agreements, are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on swap agreements. Upon entering into a centrally cleared swap, a fund is required to deposit cash or securities (initial margin) with a financial intermediary in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the notional amount. A fund may incur charges or earn income on cash deposit balances, which are reflected in interest expenses or interest income, respectively. 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 value and is a component of unrealized gains and losses. Realized gain or loss is recorded upon receipt or payment of a periodic settlement or termination of swap agreements. Net realized and unrealized gains or losses occurring during the holding period of swap agreements are a component of net realized gain (loss) on swap agreement transactions and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on swap agreements, respectively. The risks of entering into swap agreements include the possible lack of liquidity, failure of the counterparty to meet its obligations, and that there may be unfavorable changes in the underlying investments or instruments. The fund's average notional amount held during the period was $222,620,000.

Interest Rate Risk — The fund is subject to interest rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The value of bonds generally declines as interest rates rise. A fund may enter into futures contracts based on a bond index or a specific underlying security. A fund may purchase futures contracts to gain exposure to increases in market value or sell futures contracts to protect against a decline in market value. Upon entering into a futures contract, a fund will segregate cash, cash equivalents or other appropriate liquid securities on its records in amounts sufficient to meet requirements. A fund may incur charges or earn income on cash deposit balances, which are reflected in interest expenses or interest income, respectively. Subsequent payments (variation margin) are made or received daily, in cash, by a fund. The variation margin is equal to the daily change in the contract value and is recorded as unrealized gains and losses. A fund recognizes a realized gain or loss when the futures contract is closed or expires. Net realized and unrealized gains or losses occurring during the holding period of futures contracts are a component of net realized gain (loss) on futures contract transactions and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on futures contracts, respectively. One of the risks of entering into futures contracts is the possibility that the change in value of the contract may not correlate with the changes in value of the underlying securities. The fund's average notional exposure to interest rate risk derivative instruments held during the period was $1,195,919,293 futures contracts purchased.

Other Contracts — A fund may enter into total return swap agreements in order to attempt to obtain or preserve a particular return or spread at a lower cost than obtaining a return or spread through purchases and/or sales of instruments in other markets or gain exposure to certain markets in the most economical way possible. A fund will segregate cash, cash equivalents or other appropriate liquid securities on its records in amounts sufficient to meet requirements. Changes in value, including the periodic amounts of interest to be paid or received on swap agreements, are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on swap agreements. Upon entering into a centrally cleared swap, a fund is required to deposit cash or securities (initial margin) with a financial intermediary in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the notional amount. A fund may incur charges or earn income on cash deposit balances, which are reflected in interest expenses or interest income, respectively. 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 value and is a component of unrealized gains and losses. Realized gain or loss is recorded upon receipt or payment of a periodic settlement or termination of swap agreements. Net realized and unrealized gains or losses occurring during the holding period of swap agreements are a component of net realized gain (loss) on swap agreement transactions and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on swap agreements, respectively. The risks of entering into swap agreements include the possible lack of liquidity, failure of the counterparty to meet its obligations, and that there may be unfavorable changes in the underlying investments or instruments, including inflationary risk. The fund's average notional amount held during the period was $96,800,000.

8. Risk Factors

The value of the fund’s shares will go up and down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably, based on the performance of the securities owned by the fund 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.

The fund may invest in instruments that have variable or floating coupon rates based on the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR). LIBOR is a benchmark interest rate intended to be representative of the rate at which certain major international banks lend to one another over short-terms. Financial institutions have started the process of phasing out LIBOR and the transition process to a replacement rate may lead to increased volatility or illiquidity in markets for instruments that rely on LIBOR. This could result in a change to the value of such instruments or a change in the cost of temporary borrowing for the fund.

The fund's investment process may result in high portfolio turnover, which could mean high transaction costs, affecting both performance and capital gains tax liabilities to investors.

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.

35


As of period end, the components of investments for federal income tax purposes were as follows:
Federal tax cost of investments$6,884,200,896 
Gross tax appreciation of investments$1,280,035 
Gross tax depreciation of investments(495,067,026)
Net tax appreciation (depreciation) of investments$(493,786,991)

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

As of March 31, 2023, the fund had accumulated short-term capital losses of $(399,229,177) and accumulated long-term capital losses of $(236,645,802), 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 may be carried forward for an unlimited period. Due to a shift in ownership of the fund, future capital loss carryover utilization in any given year is subject to Internal Revenue Code limitations. Any remaining accumulated gains after application of this limitation will be distributed to shareholders.

10. Reorganization

On December 16, 2021, the Board of Trustees approved an agreement and plan of reorganization (the reorganization), whereby the net assets of NT Diversified Bond Fund, one fund in a series issued by the trust, were transferred to Diversified Bond Fund in exchange for shares of Diversified Bond Fund. The purpose of the transaction was to combine two funds with substantially similar investment objectives and strategies. The financial statements and performance history of Diversified Bond Fund survived after the reorganization. The reorganization was effective at the close of the NYSE on May 27, 2022.

The reorganization was accomplished by a tax-free exchange of shares. On May 27, 2022, NT Diversified Bond Fund exchanged its shares for shares of Diversified Bond Fund as follows:
Original Fund/ClassShares ExchangedNew Fund/ClassShares Received
NT Diversified Bond Fund –  G Class427,890,190 Diversified Bond Fund –  G Class435,638,705 

The net assets of NT Diversified Bond Fund and Diversified Bond Fund immediately before the reorganization were $4,331,988,616 and $1,779,254,262, respectively. NT Diversified Bond Fund's unrealized depreciation of $(309,319,355) was combined with that of Diversified Bond Fund. Immediately after the reorganization, the combined net assets were $6,111,242,878.

Approval of Management Agreement

At a meeting held on June 14, 2023, the Fund’s Board of Trustees (the "Board") unanimously approved the renewal of the management agreement pursuant to which American Century Investment Management, Inc. (the “Advisor”) acts as the investment advisor for the Fund. Under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Investment Company Act”), contracts for investment advisory services are required to be reviewed, evaluated, and approved by a majority of a fund’s Trustees, including a majority of the independent Trustees. The Board regards this annual evaluation and renewal as one of its most important responsibilities.

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

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

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

the nature, extent, and quality of investment management, shareholder services, distribution services, and other services provided to the Fund;
the wide range of programs and services the Advisor and other service providers provide to the Fund and its shareholders on a routine and non-routine basis;
the Fund’s investment performance compared to appropriate benchmarks and/or peer groups of other mutual funds with similar investment objectives and strategies;
the cost of owning the Fund compared to the cost of owning similarly-managed funds;
the Advisor’s compliance policies, procedures, and regulatory experience and those of certain other service providers;
the Advisor’s strategic plans, generally, and with respect to areas of heightened regulatory interest in the mutual fund industry and certain recent geopolitical and other issues;
the Advisor’s business continuity plans, vendor management practices, and information security practices;
the cost of services provided to the Fund, the profitability of the Fund to the Advisor, and the Advisor’s financial results of operation;
possible economies of scale associated with the Advisor’s management of the Fund;
any collateral benefits derived by the Advisor from the management of the Fund;
fees and expenses associated with any investment by the Fund in other funds;
payments to intermediaries by the Fund and the Advisor and services provided by intermediaries in connection therewith; and
services provided and charges to the Advisor’s other investment management clients.

In keeping with its practice, the Board held two meetings and the independent Trustees met in private session to discuss the renewal and to review and discuss the information provided in response to their request. The Board held active discussions with the Advisor regarding the renewal of the management agreement. The independent Trustees had the benefit of the advice of their independent counsel throughout the process.
42


Factors Considered

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

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services — Generally. Under the management agreement, the Advisor is responsible for providing or arranging for all services necessary for the operation of the Fund. The Board noted that the Advisor provides or arranges at its own expense a wide variety of services including but not limited to

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

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

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




43


Shareholder and Other Services. Under the management agreement, the Advisor, either directly or through affiliates or third parties, provides the Fund with a comprehensive package of transfer agency, shareholder, and other services. The Board, directly and through its various committees, regularly reviews reports and evaluations of such services at its regular meetings. These reports include, but are not limited to, information regarding the operational efficiency and accuracy of the shareholder and transfer agency services provided, staffing levels, shareholder satisfaction, technology support (including information security), new products and services offered to Fund shareholders, securities trading activities, portfolio valuation services, auditing services, and legal and operational compliance activities. The Board found the services provided by the Advisor to the Fund under the management agreement to be competitive and of high quality.

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

Ethics. The Board generally considers the Advisor’s commitment to providing quality services to shareholders and to conducting its business ethically. They 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 Fund. The Board concluded that economies of scale are difficult to measure and predict with precision, especially on a fund-by-fund basis. The Board concluded that the Advisor is appropriately sharing economies of scale, to the extent they exist, through its fee structure and through reinvestment in its business, infrastructure, investment capabilities and initiatives to provide shareholders enhanced and expanded services.

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

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

Payments to Intermediaries. The Trustees also requested and received a description of payments made to intermediaries by the Fund and the Advisor and services provided by intermediaries. These payments include various payments made by the Fund or the Advisor to different types of intermediaries and recordkeepers for distribution and service activities provided with respect to the Fund. The Trustees reviewed such information and received representations from the Advisor that all such payments by the Fund were made pursuant to the Fund’s Rule 12b-1 Plan and that all such payments by the Advisor were made from the Advisor’s resources and reasonable profits.

Collateral or “Fall-Out” Benefits Derived by the Advisor. The Board considered the possible existence of collateral benefits the Advisor may receive as a result of its relationship with the Fund. The Board noted that the Advisor’s primary business is managing 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 may receive proprietary research from broker-dealers that execute fund portfolio transactions. The Board also determined that the Advisor is able to provide investment management services to certain clients other than the Fund, at least in part, due to its existing infrastructure built to serve the fund complex. The Board also noted that the assets of those other accounts are, where applicable, included with the assets of the Fund to determine breakpoints in the management fee schedule.

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

Conclusion of the Trustees. As a result of this process, the Board, including all of the independent Trustees, taking into account all of the factors discussed above and the information provided by the Advisor and others in connection with its review and received over time, concluded that the terms of the management agreement are fair and reasonable and that the management fee charged to the Fund is reasonable in light of the services provided and that the management agreement between the Fund and the Advisor should be renewed for an additional one-year period.

Additional Information

Retirement Account Information

As required by law, distributions you receive from certain retirement accounts are subject to federal income tax withholding at the IRS default rate of 10%.* Tax will be withheld on the total amount withdrawn even though you may be receiving amounts that are not subject to withholding, such as nondeductible contributions. In such case, excess amounts of withholding could occur. You may adjust your withholding election so that a greater or lesser amount will be withheld.

You may elect a different withholding rate, or request zero withholding, by submitting an acceptable IRS Form W-4R election with your distribution request. You may notify us of your W-4R election by telephone, on our distribution forms, on IRS Form W-4R, or through other acceptable electronic means. If your withholding election is for an automatic withdrawal plan, you have the right to revoke your election at any time and any election you make will remain in effect until revoked by filing a new election.

Remember, even if you elect not to have income tax withheld, you are liable for paying income tax on the taxable portion of your withdrawal. If you elect not to have income tax withheld or you don’t have enough income tax withheld, you may be responsible for payment of estimated tax. You may incur penalties under the estimated tax rules if your withholding and estimated tax payments are not sufficient. You can reduce or defer the income tax on a distribution by directly or indirectly rolling such distribution over to another IRA or eligible plan. You should consult your tax advisor for additional information.

State tax will be withheld according to state regulations if, at the time of your distribution, your tax residency is within one of the mandatory withholding states.

*Some 403(b), 457 and qualified retirement plan distributions may be subject to 20% mandatory withholding, as they are subject to special tax and withholding rules.  Your plan administrator or plan sponsor is required to provide you with a special tax notice explaining those rules at the time you request a distribution.  If applicable, federal and/or state taxes may be withheld from your distribution amount.

President’s Letter

Dear Investor:

Thank you for reviewing this semiannual report for the period ended September 30, 2023. It provides a market overview (below), followed by a schedule of fund investments and other financial information. For additional investment insights, please visit americancentury.com.

Stocks Persevered, Bonds Struggled

Soaring Treasury yields weighed on bond returns for the six-month period. Stocks rallied in the first half of the reporting period before succumbing to the Treasury yield surge in the second half.

Investor expectations for the Federal Reserve (Fed) to conclude its rate-hike campaign helped fuel investor optimism early in the period. Inflation’s steady slowdown, tighter lending conditions and growing recession worries contributed to that outlook. Supported by better-than-expected corporate earnings, U.S. stocks rose sharply, while bonds retreated on rising Treasury yields.

With inflation still higher than central bank targets, the Fed increased interest rates a quarter point in May before pausing in June. Policymakers resumed their tightening campaign in July, raising rates to a range of 5.25% to 5.5%, a 22-year high, and paused again in September. Citing still-higher-than-target inflation and still-solid economic data, the Fed left its future policy options open, and investors digested a higher-for-longer rate outlook. Treasury yields marched higher, including the benchmark 10-year Treasury yield, which reached a 16-year high late in the period. Overall, the 10-year Treasury yield jumped from 3.47% on March 31 to 4.58% at September-end, while the two-year yield rocketed from 4.03% to 5.05%.

The first-half rally helped the S&P 500 Index overcome its second-half decline, and stocks returned 5.18% for the six-month period. Growth stocks sharply outperformed value stocks. Meanwhile, amid elevated inflation and significantly higher Treasury yields, investment-grade bonds broadly declined for the six months.

Remaining Diligent in Uncertain Times

We expect market volatility to linger as investors navigate a complex environment of persistent inflation, tighter financial conditions and recession risk. In addition, heightened geopolitical unrest complicates the global backdrop and represents another key consideration for our investment teams.

Our firm has a long history of helping clients weather unpredictable and volatile markets, and we’re determined to meet today’s challenges. Thank you for your trust and confidence in American Century Investments.

With appreciation and respect,

Shareholder Fee Example

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

The example is based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from April 1, 2023 to September 30, 2023.

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 mutual fund, or I Class shares of the American Century Diversified Bond Fund, in an American Century Investments account (i.e., not through a financial intermediary or employer-sponsored retirement plan account), American Century Investments may charge you a $25 annual 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 $25 fee. In determining your total eligible investment amount, we will include your investments in all personal accounts (including American Century Investments brokerage accounts) registered under your Social Security number. Personal accounts include individual accounts, joint accounts, UGMA/UTMA accounts, personal trusts, Coverdell Education Savings Accounts and IRAs (including traditional, Roth, Rollover, SEP-, SARSEP- and SIMPLE-IRAs), and certain other retirement accounts. If you have only business, business retirement, employer-sponsored or American Century Investments brokerage accounts, you are currently not subject to this fee. If you are subject to the account maintenance fee, your account value could be reduced by the fee amount.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

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

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

(1)Expenses are equal to the class's annualized expense ratio listed in the table above, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 183, the number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year, divided by 366, to reflect the one-half year period. Annualized expense ratio reflects actual expenses, including any applicable fee waivers or expense reimbursements and excluding any acquired fund fees and expenses.

American Century Investment Trust (the trust) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company and is organized as a Massachusetts business trust. High Income Fund (the fund) is one fund in a series issued by the trust. The fund’s investment objective is to seek current yield and capital growth.

The fund offers the Investor Class, I Class, Y Class, A Class, R5 Class, R6 Class and G Class. The A Class may incur an initial sales charge and may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge. Sale of the G Class commenced on May 19, 2022.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

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

Investment Valuations — The fund determines the fair value of its investments and computes its net asset value (NAV) per share at the close of regular trading (usually 4 p.m. Eastern time) on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on each day the NYSE is open. The value of investments of the fund is determined by American Century Investment Management, Inc. (ACIM) (the investment advisor), as the valuation designee, pursuant to its valuation policies and procedures. The Board of Trustees oversees the valuation designee and reviews its valuation policies and procedures at least annually.

Fixed income securities are valued at the evaluated mean as provided by independent pricing services or at the mean of the most recent bid and asked prices as provided by investment dealers. Corporate bonds, bank loan obligations and convertible bonds are valued using market models that consider trade data, quotations from dealers and active market makers, relevant yield curve and spread data, creditworthiness, trade data or market information on comparable securities, and other relevant security specific information.

Equity securities that are listed or traded on a domestic securities exchange are valued at the last reported sales price or at the official closing price as provided by the exchange. Equity securities traded on foreign securities exchanges are generally valued at the closing price of such securities on the exchange where primarily traded or at the close of the NYSE, if that is earlier. If no last sales price is reported, or if local convention or regulation so provides, the mean of the latest bid and asked prices may be used. Securities traded over-the-counter are valued at the mean of the latest bid and asked prices, the last sales price, or the official closing price. Equity securities initially expressed in local currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the mean of the appropriate currency exchange rate at the close of the NYSE as provided by an independent pricing service.

Hybrid securities are valued at the evaluated mean as provided by independent pricing services or at the mean of the most recent bid and asked prices as provided by investment dealers. Preferred stocks and convertible preferred stocks with perpetual maturities are valued using market models that consider trade data, quotations from dealers and active market makers, relevant yield curve and spread data, creditworthiness, trade data or market information on comparable securities, and other relevant security specific information.

Open-end management investment companies are valued at the reported NAV per share.

If the valuation designee determines that the market price for a portfolio security is not readily available or is believed by the valuation designee to be unreliable, such security is valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the valuation designee, in accordance with its policies and procedures. Circumstances that may cause the fund to determine that market quotations are not available or reliable include, but are not limited to: when there is a significant event subsequent to the market quotation; trading in a security has been halted during the trading day; or trading in a security is insufficient or did not take place due to a closure or holiday.

The valuation designee monitors for significant events occurring after the close of an investment’s primary exchange but before the fund’s NAV per share is determined. Significant events may include, but are not limited to: corporate announcements and transactions; regulatory news, governmental action and political unrest that could impact a specific investment or an investment sector; or armed conflicts, natural disasters and similar events that could affect investments in a specific country or region. The valuation designee also monitors for significant fluctuations between domestic and foreign markets, as evidenced by the U.S. market or such other indicators that it deems appropriate. The valuation designee may apply a model-derived factor to the closing price of equity securities traded on foreign securities exchanges. The factor is based on observable market data as provided by an independent pricing service.

Security Transactions — Security transactions are accounted for as of the trade date. Net realized gains and losses are determined on the identified cost basis, which is also used for federal income tax purposes.

Investment Income — Interest income less foreign taxes withheld, if any, is recorded on the accrual basis and includes paydown gain (loss) and accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums. For convertible bonds, the premiums attributable only to the debt instrument are amortized. Dividend income less foreign taxes withheld, if any, is recorded as of the ex-dividend date. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or long-term capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. The fund may estimate the components of distributions received that may be considered nontaxable distributions or long-term capital gain distributions for income tax purposes.

Foreign Currency Translations — All assets and liabilities initially expressed in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at prevailing exchange rates at period end. The fund may enter into spot foreign currency exchange contracts to facilitate transactions denominated in a foreign currency. Purchases and sales of investment securities, dividend and interest income, spot foreign currency exchange contracts, and expenses are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. Net realized and unrealized foreign currency exchange gains or losses related to investment securities are a component of net realized gain (loss) on investment transactions and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments, respectively.

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

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

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

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

3. Fees and Transactions with Related Parties

Certain officers and trustees of the trust are also officers and/or directors of American Century Companies, Inc. (ACC). The trust's investment advisor, ACIM, the trust's distributor, American Century Investment Services, Inc. (ACIS), and the trust's transfer agent, American Century Services, LLC, are wholly owned, directly or indirectly, by ACC. ACIM has engaged Nomura Corporate Research and Asset Management Inc. (NCRAM) to serve as a subadvisor for the fund and to manage the fund’s assets. NCRAM is responsible for the day-to-day management of the fund, subject to the general supervision of the Board of Trustees and the investment advisor and in accordance with the investment objective, policies and restrictions of the fund. ACIM pays all costs associated with retaining NCRAM as the subadvisor of the fund. A subsidiary of NCRAM’s parent company indirectly owns a non-controlling equity interest in ACC. Various funds issued by American Century Asset Allocation Portfolios, Inc. own, in aggregate, 27% of the shares of the fund. Related parties do not invest in the fund for the purpose of exercising management or control.

Management Fees — The trust has entered into a management agreement with ACIM, under which ACIM provides the fund with investment advisory and management services in exchange for a single, unified management fee (the fee) per class. The agreement provides that ACIM will pay all expenses of managing and operating the fund, except brokerage expenses, taxes, interest, fees and expenses of the independent trustees (including legal counsel fees), extraordinary expenses, 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. The fee is computed and accrued daily based on each class's daily net assets and paid monthly in arrears. The difference in the fee among the classes is a result of their separate arrangements for non-Rule 12b-1 shareholder services. It is not the result of any difference in advisory or custodial fees or other expenses related to the management of the fund’s assets, which do not vary by class.  The investment advisor agreed to waive the G Class's management fee in its entirety. The investment advisor expects this waiver to remain in effect permanently and cannot terminate it without the approval of the Board of Trustees.

The annual management fee for each class is as follows:
Investor Class
I Class
Y Class
A Class
R5 Class
R6 Class
G Class
0.775%0.675%0.575%0.775%0.575%0.525%
0.000%(1)
(1)Effective annual management fee before waiver was 0.525%.

Distribution and Service Fees — The Board of Trustees has adopted a Master Distribution and Individual Shareholder Services Plan (the plan) for the A Class, pursuant to Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act. The plan provides that the A Class will pay ACIS an annual distribution and service fee of 0.25%. The fees are computed and accrued daily based on the A 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 plan during the period ended September 30, 2023 are detailed in the Statement of Operations.

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

Interfund Transactions — The fund may enter into security transactions with other American Century Investments funds and other client accounts of the investment advisor, in accordance with the 1940 Act rules and procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. The rules and procedures require, among other things, that these transactions be effected at the independent current market price of the security. There were no interfund transactions during the period.

4. Investment Transactions

6. Fair Value Measurements

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

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

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

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

The level classification is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair valuation measurement. The valuation inputs are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in these securities or other financial instruments.

The following is a summary of the level classifications as of period end. The Schedule of Investments provides additional information on the fund's portfolio holdings.

7. Risk Factors

The value of the fund’s shares will go up and down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably, based on the performance of the securities owned by the fund 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.

The fund invests primarily in high-yield and lower-quality debt securities, which are subject to substantial risks including liquidity risk and credit risk.

The fund may invest in instruments that have variable or floating coupon rates based on the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR). LIBOR is a benchmark interest rate intended to be representative of the rate at which certain major international banks lend to one another over short-terms. Financial institutions have started the process of phasing out LIBOR and the transition process to a replacement rate may lead to increased volatility or illiquidity in markets for instruments that rely on LIBOR. This could result in a change to the value of such instruments or a change in the cost of temporary borrowing for the fund.

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 period end, the components of investments for federal income tax purposes were as follows:
Federal tax cost of investments$2,165,914,465 
Gross tax appreciation of investments$15,303,402 
Gross tax depreciation of investments(231,046,055)
Net tax appreciation (depreciation) of investments$(215,742,653)

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

As of March 31, 2023, the fund had accumulated short-term capital losses of $(9,976,723) and accumulated long-term capital losses of $(65,503,508), 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 may be carried forward for an unlimited period. Due to a shift in ownership of the fund, future capital loss carryover utilization in any given year is subject to Internal Revenue Code limitations. Any remaining accumulated gains after application of this limitation will be distributed to shareholders.

9. Reorganization

On December 16, 2021, the Board of Trustees approved an agreement and plan of reorganization (the reorganization), whereby the net assets of NT High Income Fund, one fund in a series issued by the trust, were transferred to High Income Fund in exchange for shares of High Income Fund. The purpose of the transaction was to combine two funds with substantially similar investment objectives and strategies. The financial statements and performance history of High Income Fund survived after the reorganization. The reorganization was effective at the close of the NYSE on May 27, 2022.

The reorganization was accomplished by a tax-free exchange of shares. On May 27, 2022, NT High Income Fund exchanged its shares for shares of High Income Fund as follows:
Original Fund/ClassShares ExchangedNew Fund/ClassShares Received
NT High Income Fund - Investor Class9,547,957 High Income Fund - Investor Class9,811,652 
NT High Income Fund - G Class108,805,862 High Income Fund – G Class111,810,857 

The net assets of NT High Income Fund and High Income Fund immediately before the reorganization were $1,056,848,799 and $796,025,363, respectively. NT High Income Fund's unrealized depreciation of $(82,568,854) was combined with that of High Income Fund. Immediately after the reorganization, the combined net assets were $1,852,874,162.

Approval of Management and Subadvisory Agreements


At a meeting held on June 14, 2023, the Fund’s Board of Trustees (the "Board") unanimously approved the renewal of the management agreement pursuant to which American Century Investment Management, Inc. (the “Advisor”) acts as the investment advisor for the Fund. The Board also unanimously approved the renewal of the investment subadvisory agreement pursuant to which Nomura Corporate Research and Asset Management, Inc. (the “Subadvisor”) acts as subadvisor to the Fund. Under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Investment Company Act”), contracts for investment advisory services are required to be reviewed, evaluated, and approved by a majority of a fund’s Trustees, including a majority of the independent Trustees. The Board regards this annual evaluation and renewal as one of its most important responsibilities.

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

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

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

the nature, extent, and quality of investment management, shareholder services, distribution services, and other services provided to the Fund;
the wide range of programs and services the Advisor and other service providers provide to the Fund and its shareholders on a routine and non-routine basis;
the Fund’s investment performance compared to appropriate benchmarks and/or peer groups of other mutual funds with similar investment objectives and strategies;
the cost of owning the Fund compared to the cost of owning similarly-managed funds;
the Advisor’s compliance policies, procedures, and regulatory experience and those of the Subadvisor and certain other service providers;
the Advisor’s strategic plans, generally, and with respect to areas of heightened regulatory interest in the mutual fund industry and certain recent geopolitical and other issues;
the Advisor’s business continuity plans, vendor management practices, and information security practices;
the cost of services provided to the Fund, the profitability of the Fund to the Advisor, and the Advisor’s financial results of operation;
possible economies of scale associated with the Advisor’s management of the Fund;
any collateral benefits derived by the Advisor from the management of the Fund;
fees and expenses associated with any investment by the Fund in other funds;
payments to intermediaries by the Fund and the Advisor and services provided by intermediaries in connection therewith; and
services provided and charges to the Advisor’s other investment management clients.

In keeping with its practice, the Board held two meetings and the independent Trustees met in private session to discuss the renewal and to review and discuss the information provided in
54


response to their request. The Board held active discussions with the Advisor regarding the renewal of the management agreement and the subadvisory agreement. The independent Trustees had the benefit of the advice of their independent counsel throughout the process.

Factors Considered

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

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

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

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

Investment Management Services. The nature of the investment management services provided to the Fund is quite complex and allows Fund shareholders access to professional money management, instant diversification of their investments, the opportunity to easily diversify among asset classes by investing in or exchanging among various American Century Investments funds, and liquidity. In evaluating investment performance, the Board expects the Advisor and the Subadvisor to manage the Fund in accordance with its investment objectives and principal investment strategies. Further, the Trustees recognize that the Advisor and the Subadvisor have an obligation to seek the best execution of fund trades. In providing these services, the Advisor and the Subadvisor utilize 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 the Fund, together with comparative information for appropriate benchmarks and/or peer groups of similarly-managed funds, over different time horizons. The Trustees also review investment performance information during the management agreement renewal process. If performance concerns are identified, the Fund receives special reviews until performance improves, during which the Board discusses with the Advisor and/or the Subadvisor the reasons for such results and any actions being taken to improve performance. The Fund’s performance was


55


above its benchmark for the one-, three-, five-, and ten-year periods reviewed by the Board. The Board found the investment management services provided by the Advisor and the Subadvisor to the Fund to be satisfactory and consistent with the management agreement.

Shareholder and Other Services. Under the management agreement, the Advisor, either directly or through affiliates or third parties, provides the Fund with a comprehensive package of transfer agency, shareholder, and other services. The Board, directly and through its various committees, regularly reviews reports and evaluations of such services at its regular meetings. These reports include, but are not limited to, information regarding the operational efficiency and accuracy of the shareholder and transfer agency services provided, staffing levels, shareholder satisfaction, technology support (including information security), new products and services offered to Fund shareholders, securities trading activities, portfolio valuation services, auditing services, and legal and operational compliance activities. The Board found the services provided by the Advisor to the Fund under the management agreement to be competitive and of high quality.

Costs of Services and Profitability. The Advisor provides detailed information concerning its cost of providing various services to the Fund, its profitability in managing the Fund, and its financial results of operation. The Trustees have reviewed with the Advisor the methodology used to prepare this financial information. This information is considered in evaluating the Advisor’s financial condition, its ability to continue to provide services under the management agreement, and the reasonableness of the terms of the current management agreement. The Board concluded that the Advisor’s profits were reasonable in light of the services provided to the Fund. The Board did not consider the profitability of the Subadvisor because the Subadvisor is paid from the unified management fee of the Advisor as a result of arms’ length negotiations.

Ethics. The Board generally considers the Advisor’s commitment to providing quality services to shareholders and to conducting its business ethically. They 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 Fund. The Board concluded that economies of scale are difficult to measure and predict with precision, especially on a fund-by-fund basis. The Board concluded that the Advisor is appropriately sharing economies of scale, to the extent they exist, through its fee structure and through reinvestment in its business, infrastructure, investment capabilities and initiatives to provide shareholders enhanced and expanded services.

Comparison to Other Funds’ Fees. The management agreement provides that the Fund pays the Advisor a single, all-inclusive (or unified) management fee for providing all services necessary for the management and operation of the Fund, other than brokerage and other transaction fees and expenses relating to acquisition and disposition of portfolio securities, acquired fund fees and expenses, taxes, interest, extraordinary expenses, fund litigation expenses, fees and expenses of the Fund’s independent Trustees (including their independent legal counsel), and expenses incurred in connection with the provision of shareholder services and distribution services under a plan adopted pursuant to Investment Company Act Rule 12b-1. The Board specifically noted that the subadvisory fee paid to the Subadvisor and the terms of the Subadvisory Agreement were subject to arms’ length negotiation between the Advisor and the Subadvisor and are paid by the Advisor out of its unified management fee. Under this unified fee structure, the Advisor is responsible for providing investment advisory, custody, audit, administrative, compliance, recordkeeping, marketing, and shareholder services, or arranging and supervising third parties to provide such services. By contrast, most other funds are charged a variety of fees, including an investment advisory fee, a transfer agency fee, an administrative fee, and other expenses. Other than their investment advisory fees and any applicable Rule 12b-1 distribution fees, all other components of the total fees charged by these other funds may be increased without shareholder approval. The Board believes the unified fee structure is a benefit to Fund shareholders because it clearly discloses to shareholders the cost of owning Fund shares, and, since the unified fee cannot be increased without a vote of Fund shareholders, it shifts to the Advisor the risk of increased costs
56


of operating the Fund and provides a direct incentive to minimize administrative inefficiencies. Part of the Board’s analysis of fee levels involves reviewing certain evaluative data compiled by an independent provider and comparing the Fund’s unified fee to the total expense ratio of peer funds. The unified fee charged to shareholders of the Fund was at the median of the total expense ratios of the Fund’s peer expense group. The Board concluded that the management fee paid by the Fund to the Advisor under the management agreement is reasonable in light of the services provided to the Fund.

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

Payments to Intermediaries. The Trustees also requested and received a description of payments made to intermediaries by the Fund and the Advisor and services provided by intermediaries. These payments include various payments made by the Fund or the Advisor to different types of intermediaries and recordkeepers for distribution and service activities provided with respect to the Fund. The Trustees reviewed such information and received representations from the Advisor that all such payments by the Fund were made pursuant to the Fund’s Rule 12b-1 Plan and that all such payments by the Advisor were made from the Advisor’s resources and reasonable profits.

Collateral or “Fall-Out” Benefits Derived by the Advisor. The Board considered the possible existence of collateral benefits the Advisor may receive as a result of its relationship with the Fund. The Board noted that the Advisor’s primary business is managing 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 may receive proprietary research from broker-dealers that execute fund portfolio transactions. The Board also determined that the Advisor is able to provide investment management services to certain clients other than the Fund, at least in part, due to its existing infrastructure built to serve the fund complex.

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

Conclusion of the Trustees. As a result of this process, the Board, including all of the independent Trustees, taking into account all of the factors discussed above and the information provided by the Advisor, the Subadvisor and others in connection with its review and received over time, concluded that the terms of the management agreement and the subadvisory agreement are fair and reasonable and that the management fee charged to the Fund is reasonable in light of the services provided and that the management agreement and subadvisory agreement should be renewed for an additional one-year period.

Additional Information

Retirement Account Information

As required by law, distributions you receive from certain retirement accounts are subject to federal income tax withholding at the IRS default rate of 10%.* Tax will be withheld on the total amount withdrawn even though you may be receiving amounts that are not subject to withholding, such as nondeductible contributions. In such case, excess amounts of withholding could occur. You may adjust your withholding election so that a greater or lesser amount will be withheld.

You may elect a different withholding rate, or request zero withholding, by submitting an acceptable IRS Form W-4R election with your distribution request. You may notify us of your W-4R election by telephone, on our distribution forms, on IRS Form W-4R, or through other acceptable electronic means. If your withholding election is for an automatic withdrawal plan, you have the right to revoke your election at any time and any election you make will remain in effect until revoked by filing a new election.

Remember, even if you elect not to have income tax withheld, you are liable for paying income tax on the taxable portion of your withdrawal. If you elect not to have income tax withheld or you don’t have enough income tax withheld, you may be responsible for payment of estimated tax. You may incur penalties under the estimated tax rules if your withholding and estimated tax payments are not sufficient. You can reduce or defer the income tax on a distribution by directly or indirectly rolling such distribution over to another IRA or eligible plan. You should consult your tax advisor for additional information.

State tax will be withheld according to state regulations if, at the time of your distribution, your tax residency is within one of the mandatory withholding states.

*Some 403(b), 457 and qualified retirement plan distributions may be subject to 20% mandatory withholding, as they are subject to special tax and withholding rules.  Your plan administrator or plan sponsor is required to provide you with a special tax notice explaining those rules at the time you request a distribution.  If applicable, federal and/or state taxes may be withheld from your distribution amount.

President’s Letter
image22.jpg Jonathan Thomas

Dear Investor:

Thank you for reviewing this semiannual report for the period ended September 30, 2023. It provides a market overview (below), followed by a schedule of fund investments and other financial information. For additional investment insights, please visit americancentury.com.

Stocks Persevered, Bonds Struggled

Soaring Treasury yields weighed on bond returns for the six-month period. Stocks rallied in the first half of the reporting period before succumbing to the Treasury yield surge in the second half.

Investor expectations for the Federal Reserve (Fed) to conclude its rate-hike campaign helped fuel investor optimism early in the period. Inflation’s steady slowdown, tighter lending conditions and growing recession worries contributed to that outlook. Supported by better-than-expected corporate earnings, U.S. stocks rose sharply, while bonds retreated on rising Treasury yields.

With inflation still higher than central bank targets, the Fed increased interest rates a quarter point in May before pausing in June. Policymakers resumed their tightening campaign in July, raising rates to a range of 5.25% to 5.5%, a 22-year high, and paused again in September. Citing still-higher-than-target inflation and still-solid economic data, the Fed left its future policy options open, and investors digested a higher-for-longer rate outlook. Treasury yields marched higher, including the benchmark 10-year Treasury yield, which reached a 16-year high late in the period. Overall, the 10-year Treasury yield jumped from 3.47% on March 31 to 4.58% at September-end, while the two-year yield rocketed from 4.03% to 5.05%.

The first-half rally helped the S&P 500 Index overcome its second-half decline, and stocks returned 5.18% for the six-month period. Growth stocks sharply outperformed value stocks. Meanwhile, amid elevated inflation and significantly higher Treasury yields, investment-grade bonds broadly declined for the six months.

Remaining Diligent in Uncertain Times

We expect market volatility to linger as investors navigate a complex environment of persistent inflation, tighter financial conditions and recession risk. In addition, heightened geopolitical unrest complicates the global backdrop and represents another key consideration for our investment teams.

Our firm has a long history of helping clients weather unpredictable and volatile markets, and we’re determined to meet today’s challenges. Thank you for your trust and confidence in American Century Investments.

With appreciation and respect,

Shareholder Fee Example

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

The example is based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from April 1, 2023 to September 30, 2023.

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 mutual fund, or I Class shares of the American Century Diversified Bond Fund, in an American Century Investments account (i.e., not through a financial intermediary or employer-sponsored retirement plan account), American Century Investments may charge you a $25 annual 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 $25 fee. In determining your total eligible investment amount, we will include your investments in all personal accounts (including American Century Investments brokerage accounts) registered under your Social Security number. Personal accounts include individual accounts, joint accounts, UGMA/UTMA accounts, personal trusts, Coverdell Education Savings Accounts and IRAs (including traditional, Roth, Rollover, SEP-, SARSEP- and SIMPLE-IRAs), and certain other retirement accounts. If you have only business, business retirement, employer-sponsored or American Century Investments brokerage accounts, you are currently not subject to this fee. If you are subject to the account maintenance fee, your account value could be reduced by the fee amount.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

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

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

Notes to Financial Statements

SEPTEMBER 30, 2023 (UNAUDITED)

1. Organization

American Century Investment Trust (the trust) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company and is organized as a Massachusetts business trust. High-Yield Fund (the fund) is one fund in a series issued by the trust. The fund’s investment objective is to seek high current income. As a secondary objective, the fund seeks capital appreciation, but only when consistent with its primary objective of maximizing current income.

The fund offers the Investor Class, I Class, Y Class, A Class, C Class, R Class, R5 Class and R6 Class. The A Class may incur an initial sales charge. The A Class and C Class may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge. 

2. Significant Accounting Policies

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

Investment Valuations — The fund determines the fair value of its investments and computes its net asset value (NAV) per share at the close of regular trading (usually 4 p.m. Eastern time) on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on each day the NYSE is open. The value of investments of the fund is determined by American Century Investment Management, Inc. (ACIM) (the investment advisor), as the valuation designee, pursuant to its valuation policies and procedures. The Board of Trustees oversees the valuation designee and reviews its valuation policies and procedures at least annually.

Fixed income securities are valued at the evaluated mean as provided by independent pricing services or at the mean of the most recent bid and asked prices as provided by investment dealers. Corporate bonds and bank loan obligations are valued using market models that consider trade data, quotations from dealers and active market makers, relevant yield curve and spread data, creditworthiness, trade data or market information on comparable securities, and other relevant security specific information.

Equity securities that are listed or traded on a domestic securities exchange are valued at the last reported sales price or at the official closing price as provided by the exchange. Equity securities traded on foreign securities exchanges are generally valued at the closing price of such securities on the exchange where primarily traded or at the close of the NYSE, if that is earlier. If no last sales price is reported, or if local convention or regulation so provides, the mean of the latest bid and asked prices may be used. Securities traded over-the-counter are valued at the mean of the latest bid and asked prices, the last sales price, or the official closing price.

Hybrid securities are valued at the evaluated mean as provided by independent pricing services or at the mean of the most recent bid and asked prices as provided by investment dealers. Preferred stocks and convertible preferred stocks with perpetual maturities are valued using market models that consider trade data, quotations from dealers and active market makers, relevant yield curve and spread data, creditworthiness, trade data or market information on comparable securities, and other relevant security specific information.

Open-end management investment companies are valued at the reported NAV per share. Repurchase agreements are valued at cost, which approximates fair value.

16


If the valuation designee determines that the market price for a portfolio security is not readily available or is believed by the valuation designee to be unreliable, such security is valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the valuation designee, in accordance with its policies and procedures. Circumstances that may cause the fund to determine that market quotations are not available or reliable include, but are not limited to: when there is a significant event subsequent to the market quotation; trading in a security has been halted during the trading day; or trading in a security is insufficient or did not take place due to a closure or holiday.

The valuation designee monitors for significant events occurring after the close of an investment’s primary exchange but before the fund’s NAV per share is determined. Significant events may include, but are not limited to: corporate announcements and transactions; regulatory news, governmental action and political unrest that could impact a specific investment or an investment sector; or armed conflicts, natural disasters and similar events that could affect investments in a specific country or region. The valuation designee also monitors for significant fluctuations between domestic and foreign markets, as evidenced by the U.S. market or such other indicators that it deems appropriate. The valuation designee may apply a model-derived factor to the closing price of equity securities traded on foreign securities exchanges. The factor is based on observable market data as provided by an independent pricing service.

Security Transactions — Security transactions are accounted for as of the trade date. Net realized gains and losses are determined on the identified cost basis, which is also used for federal income tax purposes.

Investment Income — Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis and includes paydown gain (loss) and accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums. Dividend income less foreign taxes withheld, if any, is recorded as of the ex-dividend date. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or long-term capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. The fund may estimate the components of distributions received that may be considered nontaxable distributions or long-term capital gain distributions for income tax purposes. Securities lending income is net of fees and rebates earned by the lending agent for its services.

Repurchase Agreements — The fund may enter into repurchase agreements with institutions that ACIM has determined are creditworthy pursuant to criteria adopted by the Board of Trustees. The fund requires that the collateral, represented by securities, received in a repurchase transaction be transferred to the custodian in a manner sufficient to enable the fund to obtain those securities in the event of a default under the repurchase agreement. ACIM monitors, on a daily basis, the securities transferred to ensure the value, including accrued interest, of the securities under each repurchase agreement is equal to or greater than amounts owed to the fund under each repurchase agreement.

Joint Trading Account — Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the fund, along with certain other funds in the American Century Investments family of funds, may transfer uninvested cash balances into a joint trading account. These balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Agency obligations.

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

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

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

17


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

Securities Lending — Securities are lent to qualified financial institutions and brokers. State Street Bank & Trust Co. serves as securities lending agent to the fund pursuant to a Securities Lending Agreement. The lending of securities exposes the fund to risks such as: the borrowers may fail to return the loaned securities, the borrowers may not be able to provide additional collateral, the fund may experience delays in recovery of the loaned securities or delays in access to collateral, or the fund may experience losses related to the investment collateral. To minimize certain risks, loan counterparties pledge collateral in the form of cash and/or securities. The lending agent has agreed to indemnify the fund in the case of default of any securities borrowed. Cash collateral received is invested in the State Street Navigator Securities Lending Government Money Market Portfolio, a money market mutual fund registered under the 1940 Act. The loans may also be secured by U.S. government securities in an amount at least equal to the market value of the securities loaned, plus accrued interest and dividends, determined on a daily basis and adjusted accordingly. By lending securities, the fund seeks to increase its net investment income through the receipt of interest and fees. Such income is reflected separately within the Statement of Operations. The value of loaned securities and related collateral outstanding at period end, if any, are shown on a gross basis within the Schedule of Investments and Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

The following table reflects a breakdown of transactions accounted for as secured borrowings, the gross obligation by the type of collateral pledged, and the remaining contractual maturity of those transactions as of September 30, 2023.

3. Fees and Transactions with Related Parties

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

Management Fees — The trust has entered into a management agreement with ACIM, under which ACIM provides the fund with investment advisory and management services in exchange for a single, unified management fee (the fee) per class. The agreement provides that ACIM will pay all expenses of managing and operating the fund, except brokerage expenses, taxes, interest, fees and expenses of the independent trustees (including legal counsel fees), extraordinary expenses, 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. The fee is computed and accrued daily based on each class’s daily net assets and paid monthly in arrears. The difference in the fee among the classes is a result of their separate arrangements for non-Rule 12b-1 shareholder services. It is not the result of any difference in advisory or custodial fees or other expenses related to the management of the fund's assets, which do not vary by class. The fee consists of (1) an Investment Category Fee based on the daily net assets of the fund and certain other accounts managed by the investment advisor that are in the same broad investment category as the fund and (2) a Complex Fee based on the assets of all funds in the American Century Investments family of funds that have the same investment advisor and distributor as the fund. For purposes of determining the Investment Category Fee and Complex Fee, the assets of funds managed by the investment advisor that invest exclusively in the shares of other funds (funds of funds) are not included.
18


The Investment Category Fee range, the Complex Fee range and the effective annual management fee for each class for the period ended September 30, 2023 are as follows:
Investment Category
Fee Range
Complex Fee Range
Effective Annual
Management Fee
Investor Class0.4725%

R5 Class0.0500% to 0.1100%0.57%
R6 Class0.0000% to 0.0600%0.52%

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, C Class and R Class (collectively the plans), pursuant to Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act. The plans provide that the A Class will pay ACIS an annual distribution and service fee of 0.25%. The plans provide that the C Class will pay ACIS an annual distribution and service fee of 1.00%, of which 0.25% is paid for individual shareholder services and 0.75% is paid for distribution services. The plans provide that the R Class will pay ACIS an annual distribution and service fee of 0.50%. 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 period ended September 30, 2023 are detailed in the Statement of Operations.

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

Other Expenses — A fund’s other expenses may include interest charges, clearing exchange fees, proxy solicitation expenses, fees associated with the recovery of foreign tax reclaims and other miscellaneous expenses.

Interfund Transactions — The fund may enter into security transactions with other American Century Investments funds and other client accounts of the investment advisor, in accordance with the 1940 Act rules and procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. The rules and procedures require, among other things, that these transactions be effected at the independent current market price of the security.

6. Fair Value Measurements

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

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

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

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

The level classification is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair valuation measurement. The valuation inputs are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in these securities or other financial instruments.

The following is a summary of the level classifications as of period end. The Schedule of Investments provides additional information on the fund's portfolio holdings.

7. Risk Factors

The value of the fund’s shares will go up and down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably, based on the performance of the securities owned by the fund 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.

The fund invests primarily in lower-rated debt securities, which are subject to substantial risks including liquidity risk and credit risk.

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 period end, the components of investments for federal income tax purposes were as follows:
Federal tax cost of investments$104,650,764 
Gross tax appreciation of investments$277,502 
Gross tax depreciation of investments(7,627,528)
Net tax appreciation (depreciation) of investments$(7,350,026)

21


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

As of March 31, 2023, the fund had accumulated short-term capital losses of $(5,955,553) and accumulated long-term capital losses of $(40,185,667), 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 may be carried forward for an unlimited period. Future capital loss carryover utilization in any given year may be subject to Internal Revenue Code limitations.

Approval of Management Agreement

At a meeting held on June 14, 2023, the Fund’s Board of Trustees (the "Board") unanimously approved the renewal of the management agreement pursuant to which American Century Investment Management, Inc. (the “Advisor”) acts as the investment advisor for the Fund. Under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Investment Company Act”), contracts for investment advisory services are required to be reviewed, evaluated, and approved by a majority of a fund’s Trustees, including a majority of the independent Trustees. The Board regards this annual evaluation and renewal as one of its most important responsibilities.

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

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

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

the nature, extent, and quality of investment management, shareholder services, distribution services, and other services provided to the Fund;
the wide range of programs and services the Advisor and other service providers provide to the Fund and its shareholders on a routine and non-routine basis;
the Fund’s investment performance compared to appropriate benchmarks and/or peer groups of other mutual funds with similar investment objectives and strategies;
the cost of owning the Fund compared to the cost of owning similarly-managed funds;
the Advisor’s compliance policies, procedures, and regulatory experience and those of certain other service providers;
the Advisor’s strategic plans, generally, and with respect to areas of heightened regulatory interest in the mutual fund industry and certain recent geopolitical and other issues;
the Advisor’s business continuity plans, vendor management practices, and information security practices;
the cost of services provided to the Fund, the profitability of the Fund to the Advisor, and the Advisor’s financial results of operation;
possible economies of scale associated with the Advisor’s management of the Fund;
any collateral benefits derived by the Advisor from the management of the Fund;
fees and expenses associated with any investment by the Fund in other funds;
payments to intermediaries by the Fund and the Advisor and services provided by intermediaries in connection therewith; and
services provided and charges to the Advisor’s other investment management clients.

In keeping with its practice, the Board held two meetings and the independent Trustees met in private session to discuss the renewal and to review and discuss the information provided in response to their request. The Board held active discussions with the Advisor regarding the renewal of the management agreement. The independent Trustees had the benefit of the advice of their independent counsel throughout the process.
28



Factors Considered

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

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services — Generally. Under the management agreement, the Advisor is responsible for providing or arranging for all services necessary for the operation of the Fund. The Board noted that the Advisor provides or arranges at its own expense a wide variety of services including but not limited to

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

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

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

29



Shareholder and Other Services. Under the management agreement, the Advisor, either directly or through affiliates or third parties, provides the Fund with a comprehensive package of transfer agency, shareholder, and other services. The Board, directly and through its various committees, regularly reviews reports and evaluations of such services at its regular meetings. These reports include, but are not limited to, information regarding the operational efficiency and accuracy of the shareholder and transfer agency services provided, staffing levels, shareholder satisfaction, technology support (including information security), new products and services offered to Fund shareholders, securities trading activities, portfolio valuation services, auditing services, and legal and operational compliance activities. The Board found the services provided by the Advisor to the Fund under the management agreement to be competitive and of high quality.

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

Ethics. The Board generally considers the Advisor’s commitment to providing quality services to shareholders and to conducting its business ethically. They 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 Fund. The Board concluded that economies of scale are difficult to measure and predict with precision, especially on a fund-by-fund basis. The Board concluded that the Advisor is appropriately sharing economies of scale, to the extent they exist, through its fee structure and through reinvestment in its business, infrastructure, investment capabilities and initiatives to provide shareholders enhanced and expanded services.

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

30



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

Payments to Intermediaries. The Trustees also requested and received a description of payments made to intermediaries by the Fund and the Advisor and services provided by intermediaries. These payments include various payments made by the Fund or the Advisor to different types of intermediaries and recordkeepers for distribution and service activities provided with respect to the Fund. The Trustees reviewed such information and received representations from the Advisor that all such payments by the Fund were made pursuant to the Fund’s Rule 12b-1 Plan and that all such payments by the Advisor were made from the Advisor’s resources and reasonable profits.

Collateral or “Fall-Out” Benefits Derived by the Advisor. The Board considered the possible existence of collateral benefits the Advisor may receive as a result of its relationship with the Fund. The Board noted that the Advisor’s primary business is managing 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 may receive proprietary research from broker-dealers that execute fund portfolio transactions. The Board also determined that the Advisor is able to provide investment management services to certain clients other than the Fund, at least in part, due to its existing infrastructure built to serve the fund complex. The Board also noted that the assets of those other accounts are, where applicable, included with the assets of the Fund to determine breakpoints in the management fee schedule.

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

Conclusion of the Trustees. As a result of this process, the Board, including all of the independent Trustees, taking into account all of the factors discussed above and the information provided by the Advisor and others in connection with its review and received over time, concluded that the terms of the management agreement are fair and reasonable and that the management fee charged to the Fund is reasonable in light of the services provided and that the management agreement between the Fund and the Advisor should be renewed for an additional one-year period.

Additional Information

Retirement Account Information

As required by law, distributions you receive from certain retirement accounts are subject to federal income tax withholding at the IRS default rate of 10%.* Tax will be withheld on the total amount withdrawn even though you may be receiving amounts that are not subject to withholding, such as nondeductible contributions. In such case, excess amounts of withholding could occur. You may adjust your withholding election so that a greater or lesser amount will be withheld.

You may elect a different withholding rate, or request zero withholding, by submitting an acceptable IRS Form W-4R election with your distribution request. You may notify us of your W-4R election by telephone, on our distribution forms, on IRS Form W-4R, or through other acceptable electronic means. If your withholding election is for an automatic withdrawal plan, you have the right to revoke your election at any time and any election you make will remain in effect until revoked by filing a new election.

Remember, even if you elect not to have income tax withheld, you are liable for paying income tax on the taxable portion of your withdrawal. If you elect not to have income tax withheld or you don’t have enough income tax withheld, you may be responsible for payment of estimated tax. You may incur penalties under the estimated tax rules if your withholding and estimated tax payments are not sufficient. You can reduce or defer the income tax on a distribution by directly or indirectly rolling such distribution over to another IRA or eligible plan. You should consult your tax advisor for additional information.

State tax will be withheld according to state regulations if, at the time of your distribution, your tax residency is within one of the mandatory withholding states.

*Some 403(b), 457 and qualified retirement plan distributions may be subject to 20% mandatory withholding, as they are subject to special tax and withholding rules.  Your plan administrator or plan sponsor is required to provide you with a special tax notice explaining those rules at the time you request a distribution.  If applicable, federal and/or state taxes may be withheld from your distribution amount.

President’s Letter

Dear Investor:

Thank you for reviewing this semiannual report for the period ended September 30, 2023. It provides a market overview (below), followed by a schedule of fund investments and other financial information. For additional investment insights, please visit americancentury.com.

Stocks Persevered, Bonds Struggled

Soaring Treasury yields weighed on bond returns for the six-month period. Stocks rallied in the first half of the reporting period before succumbing to the Treasury yield surge in the second half.

Investor expectations for the Federal Reserve (Fed) to conclude its rate-hike campaign helped fuel investor optimism early in the period. Inflation’s steady slowdown, tighter lending conditions and growing recession worries contributed to that outlook. Supported by better-than-expected corporate earnings, U.S. stocks rose sharply, while bonds retreated on rising Treasury yields.

With inflation still higher than central bank targets, the Fed increased interest rates a quarter point in May before pausing in June. Policymakers resumed their tightening campaign in July, raising rates to a range of 5.25% to 5.5%, a 22-year high, and paused again in September. Citing still-higher-than-target inflation and still-solid economic data, the Fed left its future policy options open, and investors digested a higher-for-longer rate outlook. Treasury yields marched higher, including the benchmark 10-year Treasury yield, which reached a 16-year high late in the period. Overall, the 10-year Treasury yield jumped from 3.47% on March 31 to 4.58% at September-end, while the two-year yield rocketed from 4.03% to 5.05%.

The first-half rally helped the S&P 500 Index overcome its second-half decline, and stocks returned 5.18% for the six-month period. Growth stocks sharply outperformed value stocks. Meanwhile, amid elevated inflation and significantly higher Treasury yields, investment-grade bonds broadly declined for the six months.

Remaining Diligent in Uncertain Times

We expect market volatility to linger as investors navigate a complex environment of persistent inflation, tighter financial conditions and recession risk. In addition, heightened geopolitical unrest complicates the global backdrop and represents another key consideration for our investment teams.

Our firm has a long history of helping clients weather unpredictable and volatile markets, and we’re determined to meet today’s challenges. Thank you for your trust and confidence in American Century Investments.

With appreciation and respect,

Shareholder Fee Example 

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

The example is based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from April 1, 2023 to September 30, 2023.

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 mutual fund, or I Class shares of the American Century Diversified Bond Fund, in an American Century Investments account (i.e., not through a financial intermediary or employer-sponsored retirement plan account), American Century Investments may charge you a $25 annual 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 $25 fee. In determining your total eligible investment amount, we will include your investments in all personal accounts (including American Century Investments brokerage accounts) registered under your Social Security number. Personal accounts include individual accounts, joint accounts, UGMA/UTMA accounts, personal trusts, Coverdell Education Savings Accounts and IRAs (including traditional, Roth, Rollover, SEP-, SARSEP- and SIMPLE-IRAs), and certain other retirement accounts. If you have only business, business retirement, employer-sponsored or American Century Investments brokerage accounts, you are currently not subject to this fee. If you are subject to the account maintenance fee, your account value could be reduced by the fee amount.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

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

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

(1)Expenses are equal to the class's annualized expense ratio listed in the table above, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 183, the number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year, divided by 366, to reflect the one-half year period. Annualized expense ratio reflects actual expenses, including any applicable fee waivers or expense reimbursements and excluding any acquired fund fees and expenses.

Notes to Financial Statements

SEPTEMBER 30, 2023 (UNAUDITED)

1. Organization

American Century Investment Trust (the trust) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company and is organized as a Massachusetts business trust. Multisector Income Fund (the fund) is one fund in a series issued by the trust. The fund’s investment objective is to seek income. As a secondary objective, the fund seeks long-term capital appreciation.

The fund offers the Investor Class, I Class, Y Class, A Class, C Class, R Class, R5 Class and R6 Class. The A Class may incur an initial sales charge. The A Class and C Class may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

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

Investment Valuations — The fund determines the fair value of its investments and computes its net asset value (NAV) per share at the close of regular trading (usually 4 p.m. Eastern time) on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on each day the NYSE is open. The value of investments of the fund is determined by American Century Investment Management, Inc. (ACIM) (the investment advisor), as the valuation designee, pursuant to its valuation policies and procedures. The Board of Trustees oversees the valuation designee and reviews its valuation policies and procedures at least annually.

Fixed income securities are valued at the evaluated mean as provided by independent pricing services or at the mean of the most recent bid and asked prices as provided by investment dealers. Corporate bonds, U.S. Treasury and Government Agency securities, bank loan obligations, and sovereign governments and agencies are valued using market models that consider trade data, quotations from dealers and active market makers, relevant yield curve and spread data, creditworthiness, trade data or market information on comparable securities, and other relevant security specific information.  Mortgage-related and asset-backed securities are valued based on models that consider trade data, prepayment and default projections, benchmark yield and spread data and estimated cash flows of each tranche of the issuer. Collateralized loan obligations are valued based on discounted cash flow models that consider trade and economic data, prepayment assumptions and default projections. Fixed income securities initially expressed in local currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the mean of the appropriate currency exchange rate at the close of the NYSE as provided by an independent pricing service.

Equity securities that are listed or traded on a domestic securities exchange are valued at the last reported sales price or at the official closing price as provided by the exchange. Equity securities traded on foreign securities exchanges are generally valued at the closing price of such securities on the exchange where primarily traded or at the close of the NYSE, if that is earlier. If no last sales price is reported, or if local convention or regulation so provides, the mean of the latest bid and asked prices may be used. Securities traded over-the-counter are valued at the mean of the latest bid and asked prices, the last sales price, or the official closing price.

Hybrid securities are valued at the evaluated mean as provided by independent pricing services or at the mean of the most recent bid and asked prices as provided by investment dealers. Preferred stocks and convertible preferred stocks with perpetual maturities are valued using market models that consider trade data, quotations from dealers and active market makers, relevant yield curve and spread data, creditworthiness, trade data or market information on comparable securities, and other relevant security specific information.

21


Open-end management investment companies are valued at the reported NAV per share. Repurchase agreements are valued at cost, which approximates fair value. Exchange-traded futures contracts are valued at the settlement price as provided by the appropriate exchange. Swap agreements are valued at an evaluated mean as provided by independent pricing services or independent brokers. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are valued at the mean of the appropriate forward exchange rate at the close of the NYSE as provided by an independent pricing service.

If the valuation designee determines that the market price for a portfolio security is not readily available or is believed by the valuation designee to be unreliable, such security is valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the valuation designee, in accordance with its policies and procedures. Circumstances that may cause the fund to determine that market quotations are not available or reliable include, but are not limited to: when there is a significant event subsequent to the market quotation; trading in a security has been halted during the trading day; or trading in a security is insufficient or did not take place due to a closure or holiday.

The valuation designee monitors for significant events occurring after the close of an investment’s primary exchange but before the fund’s NAV per share is determined. Significant events may include, but are not limited to: corporate announcements and transactions; regulatory news, governmental action and political unrest that could impact a specific investment or an investment sector; or armed conflicts, natural disasters and similar events that could affect investments in a specific country or region. The valuation designee also monitors for significant fluctuations between domestic and foreign markets, as evidenced by the U.S. market or such other indicators that it deems appropriate. The valuation designee may apply a model-derived factor to the closing price of equity securities traded on foreign securities exchanges. The factor is based on observable market data as provided by an independent pricing service.

Security Transactions — Security transactions are accounted for as of the trade date. Net realized gains and losses are determined on the identified cost basis, which is also used for federal income tax purposes.

Investment Income — Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis and includes paydown gain (loss) and accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums. Inflation adjustments related to inflation-linked debt securities are reflected as interest income. Securities lending income is net of fees and rebates earned by the lending agent for its services.

Foreign Currency Translations — All assets and liabilities initially expressed in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at prevailing exchange rates at period end. The fund may enter into spot foreign currency exchange contracts to facilitate transactions denominated in a foreign currency. Purchases and sales of investment securities, dividend and interest income, spot foreign currency exchange contracts, and expenses are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. Net realized and unrealized foreign currency exchange gains or losses related to investment securities are a component of net realized gain (loss) on investment transactions and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments, respectively.

Forward Commitments — The fund may engage in securities transactions on a forward commitment basis. In these transactions, the securities’ prices and yields are fixed on the date of the commitment. The fund may sell a to-be-announced (TBA) security and at the same time make a commitment to purchase the same security at a future date at a specified price. Conversely, the fund may purchase a TBA security and at the same time make a commitment to sell the same security at a future date at a specified price. These types of transactions are known as “TBA roll” transactions and are accounted for as purchases and sales. The fund will segregate cash, cash equivalents or other appropriate liquid securities on its records in amounts sufficient to meet the purchase price.

Repurchase Agreements — The fund may enter into repurchase agreements with institutions that ACIM has determined are creditworthy pursuant to criteria adopted by the Board of Trustees. The fund requires that the collateral, represented by securities, received in a repurchase transaction be transferred to the custodian in a manner sufficient to enable the fund to obtain those securities in the event of a default under the repurchase agreement. ACIM monitors, on a daily basis, the securities transferred to ensure the value, including accrued interest, of the securities under each repurchase agreement is equal to or greater than amounts owed to the fund under each repurchase agreement.

Joint Trading Account — Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the fund, along with certain other funds in the American Century Investments family of funds, may transfer uninvested cash balances into a joint trading account. These balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Agency obligations.

22


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

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

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

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

Securities Lending — Securities are lent to qualified financial institutions and brokers. State Street Bank & Trust Co. serves as securities lending agent to the fund pursuant to a Securities Lending Agreement. The lending of securities exposes the fund to risks such as: the borrowers may fail to return the loaned securities, the borrowers may not be able to provide additional collateral, the fund may experience delays in recovery of the loaned securities or delays in access to collateral, or the fund may experience losses related to the investment collateral. To minimize certain risks, loan counterparties pledge collateral in the form of cash and/or securities. The lending agent has agreed to indemnify the fund in the case of default of any securities borrowed. Cash collateral received is invested in the State Street Navigator Securities Lending Government Money Market Portfolio, a money market mutual fund registered under the 1940 Act. The loans may also be secured by U.S. government securities in an amount at least equal to the market value of the securities loaned, plus accrued interest and dividends, determined on a daily basis and adjusted accordingly. By lending securities, the fund seeks to increase its net investment income through the receipt of interest and fees. Such income is reflected separately within the Statement of Operations. The value of loaned securities and related collateral outstanding at period end, if any, are shown on a gross basis within the Schedule of Investments and Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

The following table reflects a breakdown of transactions accounted for as secured borrowings, the gross obligation by the type of collateral pledged, and the remaining contractual maturity of those transactions as of September 30, 2023.

3. Fees and Transactions with Related Parties

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

Management Fees — The trust has entered into a management agreement with ACIM, under which ACIM provides the fund with investment advisory and management services in exchange for a single, unified management fee (the fee) per class. The agreement provides that ACIM will pay all expenses of managing and operating the fund, except brokerage expenses, taxes, interest, fees and expenses of the independent trustees (including legal counsel fees), extraordinary expenses, 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. The fee is computed and accrued daily based on each class's daily net assets and paid monthly in arrears. The difference in the fee among the classes is a result of their separate arrangements for non-Rule 12b-1 shareholder services. It is not the result of any difference in advisory or custodial fees or other expenses related to the management of the fund’s assets, which do not vary by class.

The annual management fee for each class is as follows:
Investor ClassI ClassY ClassA ClassC ClassR ClassR5 ClassR6 Class
0.55%0.45%0.35%0.55%0.55%0.55%0.35%0.30%

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, C Class and R Class (collectively the plans), pursuant to Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act. The plans provide that the A Class will pay ACIS an annual distribution and service fee of 0.25%. The plans provide that the C Class will pay ACIS an annual distribution and service fee of 1.00%, of which 0.25% is paid for individual shareholder services and 0.75% is paid for distribution services. The plans provide that the R Class will pay ACIS an annual distribution and service fee of 0.50%. 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 period ended September 30, 2023 are detailed in the Statement of Operations.

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

Other Expenses — A fund’s other expenses may include interest charges, clearing exchange fees, proxy solicitation expenses, fees associated with the recovery of foreign tax reclaims and other miscellaneous expenses.

Interfund Transactions — The fund may enter into security transactions with other American Century Investments funds and other client accounts of the investment advisor, in accordance with the 1940 Act rules and procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. The rules and procedures require, among other things, that these transactions be effected at the independent current market price of the security. There were no interfund transactions during the period.

4. Investment Transactions

Purchases of investment securities, excluding short-term investments, for the period ended September 30, 2023 totaled $92,785,885, of which $50,910,593 represented U.S. Treasury and Government Agency obligations.

Sales of investment securities, excluding short-term investments, for the period ended September 30, 2023 totaled $82,255,328, of which $41,403,960 represented U.S. Treasury and Government Agency obligations.

6. Fair Value Measurements

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

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

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

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

The level classification is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair valuation measurement. The valuation inputs are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in these securities or other financial instruments.

The following is a summary of the level classifications as of period end. The Schedule of Investments provides additional information on the fund's portfolio holdings.

7. Derivative Instruments

Credit Risk — The fund is subject to credit risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The value of a bond generally declines as the credit quality of its issuer declines. Credit default swap agreements enable a fund to buy/sell protection against a credit event of a specific issuer or index. A fund may attempt to enhance returns by selling protection or attempt to mitigate credit risk by buying protection. The buyer/seller of credit protection against a security or basket of securities may pay/receive an up-front or periodic payment to compensate for/against potential default events. Changes in value, including the periodic amounts of interest to be paid or received on swap agreements, are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on swap agreements. Upon entering into a centrally cleared swap, a fund is required to deposit cash or securities (initial margin) with a financial intermediary in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the notional amount. A fund may incur charges or earn income on cash deposit balances, which are reflected in interest expenses or interest income, respectively. 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 value and is a component of unrealized gains and losses. Realized gain or loss is recorded upon receipt or payment of a periodic settlement or termination of swap agreements. Net realized and unrealized gains or losses occurring during the holding period of swap agreements are a component of net realized gain (loss) on swap agreement transactions and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on swap agreements, respectively. The risks of entering into swap agreements include the possible lack of liquidity, failure of the counterparty to meet its obligations, and that there may be unfavorable changes in the underlying investments or instruments. The fund's average notional amount held during the period was $1,764,000.

Foreign Currency Risk — The fund is subject to foreign currency exchange rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The value of foreign investments held by a fund may be significantly affected by changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The dollar value of a foreign security generally decreases when the value of the dollar rises against the foreign currency in which the security is denominated and tends to increase when the value of the dollar declines against such foreign currency. A fund may enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts to reduce a fund's exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations or to gain exposure to the fluctuations in the value of foreign currencies. A fund will segregate cash, cash equivalents or other appropriate liquid securities on its records in amounts sufficient to meet requirements. The net U.S. dollar value of foreign currency underlying all contractual commitments held by a fund and the resulting unrealized appreciation or depreciation are determined daily. Realized gain or loss is recorded upon settlement of the contract. Net realized and unrealized gains or losses occurring during the holding period of forward foreign currency exchange contracts are a component of net realized gain (loss) on forward foreign currency exchange contract transactions and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on forward foreign currency exchange contracts, respectively. A fund bears the risk of an unfavorable change in the foreign currency exchange rate underlying the forward contract. Additionally, losses, up to the fair value, may arise if the counterparties do not perform under the contract terms. The fund's average U.S. dollar exposure to foreign currency risk derivative instruments held during the period was $305,798.

Interest Rate Risk — The fund is subject to interest rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The value of bonds generally declines as interest rates rise. A fund may enter into futures contracts based on a bond index or a specific underlying security. A fund may purchase futures contracts to gain exposure to increases in market value or sell futures contracts to protect against a decline in market value. Upon entering into a futures contract, a fund will segregate cash, cash equivalents or other appropriate liquid securities on its records in amounts sufficient to meet requirements. A fund may incur charges or earn income on cash deposit balances, which are reflected in interest expenses or interest income, respectively. Subsequent payments (variation margin) are made or received daily, in cash, by a fund. The variation margin is equal to the daily change in the contract value and is recorded as unrealized gains and losses. A fund recognizes a realized gain or loss when the futures contract is closed or expires. Net realized and unrealized gains or losses occurring during the holding period of futures contracts are a component of net realized gain (loss) on futures contract transactions and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on futures contracts, respectively. One of the risks of entering into futures contracts is the possibility that the change in value of the contract may not correlate with the changes in value of the underlying securities. The fund's average notional exposure to interest rate risk derivative instruments held during the period was $42,621,117 futures contracts purchased and $1,127,245 futures contracts sold.

8. Risk Factors

The value of the fund’s shares will go up and down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably, based on the performance of the securities owned by the fund 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.

The fund may invest in instruments that have variable or floating coupon rates based on the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR). LIBOR is a benchmark interest rate intended to be representative of the rate at which certain major international banks lend to one another over short-terms. Financial institutions have started the process of phasing out LIBOR and the transition process to a replacement rate may lead to increased volatility or illiquidity in markets for instruments that rely on LIBOR. This could result in a change to the value of such instruments or a change in the cost of temporary borrowing for the fund.

There are certain risks involved in investing in foreign securities. These risks include those resulting from political events (such as civil unrest, national elections and imposition of exchange controls), social and economic events (such as labor strikes and rising inflation), and natural disasters. Securities of foreign issuers may be less liquid and more volatile. Investing in emerging markets or a significant portion of assets in one country or region may accentuate these risks.

The fund invests in lower-rated debt securities, which are subject to substantial risks including liquidity risk and credit risk.

The fund's investment process may result in high portfolio turnover, which could mean high transaction costs, affecting both performance and capital gains tax liabilities to investors.

28


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 period end, the components of investments for federal income tax purposes were as follows:
Federal tax cost of investments$98,452,396 
Gross tax appreciation of investments$270,049 
Gross tax depreciation of investments(3,124,543)
Net tax appreciation (depreciation) of investments$(2,854,494)

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

As of March 31, 2023, the fund had accumulated short-term capital losses of $(4,672,090) and accumulated long-term capital losses of $(2,243,937), 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 may be carried forward for an unlimited period. Future capital loss carryover utilization in any given year may be subject to Internal Revenue Code limitations.

Approval of Management Agreement

At a meeting held on June 14, 2023, the Fund’s Board of Trustees (the "Board") unanimously approved the renewal of the management agreement pursuant to which American Century Investment Management, Inc. (the “Advisor”) acts as the investment advisor for the Fund. Under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Investment Company Act”), contracts for investment advisory services are required to be reviewed, evaluated, and approved by a majority of a fund’s Trustees, including a majority of the independent Trustees. The Board regards this annual evaluation and renewal as one of its most important responsibilities.

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

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

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

the nature, extent, and quality of investment management, shareholder services, distribution services, and other services provided to the Fund;
the wide range of programs and services the Advisor and other service providers provide to the Fund and its shareholders on a routine and non-routine basis;
the Fund’s investment performance compared to appropriate benchmarks and/or peer groups of other mutual funds with similar investment objectives and strategies;
the cost of owning the Fund compared to the cost of owning similarly-managed funds;
the Advisor’s compliance policies, procedures, and regulatory experience and those of certain other service providers;
the Advisor’s strategic plans, generally, and with respect to areas of heightened regulatory interest in the mutual fund industry and certain recent geopolitical and other issues;
the Advisor’s business continuity plans, vendor management practices, and information security practices;
the cost of services provided to the Fund, the profitability of the Fund to the Advisor, and the Advisor’s financial results of operation;
possible economies of scale associated with the Advisor’s management of the Fund;
any collateral benefits derived by the Advisor from the management of the Fund;
fees and expenses associated with any investment by the Fund in other funds;
payments to intermediaries by the Fund and the Advisor and services provided by intermediaries in connection therewith; and
services provided and charges to the Advisor’s other investment management clients.

In keeping with its practice, the Board held two meetings and the independent Trustees met in private session to discuss the renewal and to review and discuss the information provided in response to their request. The Board held active discussions with the Advisor regarding the renewal of the management agreement. The independent Trustees had the benefit of the advice of their independent counsel throughout the process.
35


Factors Considered

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

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services — Generally. Under the management agreement, the Advisor is responsible for providing or arranging for all services necessary for the operation of the Fund. The Board noted that the Advisor provides or arranges at its own expense a wide variety of services including but not limited to

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

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

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

Shareholder and Other Services. Under the management agreement, the Advisor, either directly or through affiliates or third parties, provides the Fund with a comprehensive package of transfer agency, shareholder, and other services. The Board, directly and through its various committees, regularly reviews reports and evaluations of such services at its regular meetings. These reports
36


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, technology support (including information security), new products and services offered to Fund shareholders, securities trading activities, portfolio valuation services, auditing services, and legal and operational compliance activities. The Board found the services provided by the Advisor to the Fund under the management agreement to be competitive and of high quality.

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

Ethics. The Board generally considers the Advisor’s commitment to providing quality services to shareholders and to conducting its business ethically. They 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 Fund. The Board concluded that economies of scale are difficult to measure and predict with precision, especially on a fund-by-fund basis. The Board concluded that the Advisor is appropriately sharing economies of scale, to the extent they exist, through its fee structure and through reinvestment in its business, infrastructure, investment capabilities and initiatives to provide shareholders enhanced and expanded services.

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

Comparison to Fees and Services Provided to Other Clients of the Advisor. The Board also requested and received information from the Advisor concerning the nature of the services, fees, costs, and profitability of its advisory services to advisory clients other than the Fund. They observed that these varying types of client accounts require different services and involve different regulatory and entrepreneurial risks than the management of the Fund. The Board analyzed this
37


information and concluded that the fees charged and services provided to the Fund were reasonable by comparison.

Payments to Intermediaries. The Trustees also requested and received a description of payments made to intermediaries by the Fund and the Advisor and services provided by intermediaries. These payments include various payments made by the Fund or the Advisor to different types of intermediaries and recordkeepers for distribution and service activities provided with respect to the Fund. The Trustees reviewed such information and received representations from the Advisor that all such payments by the Fund were made pursuant to the Fund’s Rule 12b-1 Plan and that all such payments by the Advisor were made from the Advisor’s resources and reasonable profits.

Collateral or “Fall-Out” Benefits Derived by the Advisor. The Board considered the possible existence of collateral benefits the Advisor may receive as a result of its relationship with the Fund. The Board noted that the Advisor’s primary business is managing 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 may receive proprietary research from broker-dealers that execute fund portfolio transactions. The Board also determined that the Advisor is able to provide investment management services to certain clients other than the Fund, at least in part, due to its existing infrastructure built to serve the fund complex.

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

Conclusion of the Trustees. As a result of this process, the Board, including all of the independent Trustees, taking into account all of the factors discussed above and the information provided by the Advisor and others in connection with its review and received over time, concluded that the terms of the management agreement are fair and reasonable and that the management fee charged to the Fund is reasonable in light of the services provided and that the management agreement between the Fund and the Advisor should be renewed for an additional one-year period.

Additional Information

Retirement Account Information

As required by law, distributions you receive from certain retirement accounts are subject to federal income tax withholding at the IRS default rate of 10%.* Tax will be withheld on the total amount withdrawn even though you may be receiving amounts that are not subject to withholding, such as nondeductible contributions. In such case, excess amounts of withholding could occur. You may adjust your withholding election so that a greater or lesser amount will be withheld.

You may elect a different withholding rate, or request zero withholding, by submitting an acceptable IRS Form W-4R election with your distribution request. You may notify us of your W-4R election by telephone, on our distribution forms, on IRS Form W-4R, or through other acceptable electronic means. If your withholding election is for an automatic withdrawal plan, you have the right to revoke your election at any time and any election you make will remain in effect until revoked by filing a new election.

Remember, even if you elect not to have income tax withheld, you are liable for paying income tax on the taxable portion of your withdrawal. If you elect not to have income tax withheld or you don’t have enough income tax withheld, you may be responsible for payment of estimated tax. You may incur penalties under the estimated tax rules if your withholding and estimated tax payments are not sufficient. You can reduce or defer the income tax on a distribution by directly or indirectly rolling such distribution over to another IRA or eligible plan. You should consult your tax advisor for additional information.

State tax will be withheld according to state regulations if, at the time of your distribution, your tax residency is within one of the mandatory withholding states.

*Some 403(b), 457 and qualified retirement plan distributions may be subject to 20% mandatory withholding, as they are subject to special tax and withholding rules.  Your plan administrator or plan sponsor is required to provide you with a special tax notice explaining those rules at the time you request a distribution.  If applicable, federal and/or state taxes may be withheld from your distribution amount.

President’s Letter
image22.jpg Jonathan Thomas

Dear Investor:

Thank you for reviewing this semiannual report for the period ended September 30, 2023. It provides a market overview (below), followed by a schedule of fund investments and other financial information. For additional investment insights, please visit americancentury.com.

Stocks Persevered, Bonds Struggled

Soaring Treasury yields weighed on bond returns for the six-month period. Stocks rallied in the first half of the reporting period before succumbing to the Treasury yield surge in the second half.

Investor expectations for the Federal Reserve (Fed) to conclude its rate-hike campaign helped fuel investor optimism early in the period. Inflation’s steady slowdown, tighter lending conditions and growing recession worries contributed to that outlook. Supported by better-than-expected corporate earnings, U.S. stocks rose sharply, while bonds retreated on rising Treasury yields.

With inflation still higher than central bank targets, the Fed increased interest rates a quarter point in May before pausing in June. Policymakers resumed their tightening campaign in July, raising rates to a range of 5.25% to 5.5%, a 22-year high, and paused again in September. Citing still-higher-than-target inflation and still-solid economic data, the Fed left its future policy options open, and investors digested a higher-for-longer rate outlook. Treasury yields marched higher, including the benchmark 10-year Treasury yield, which reached a 16-year high late in the period. Overall, the 10-year Treasury yield jumped from 3.47% on March 31 to 4.58% at September-end, while the two-year yield rocketed from 4.03% to 5.05%.

The first-half rally helped the S&P 500 Index overcome its second-half decline, and stocks returned 5.18% for the six-month period. Growth stocks sharply outperformed value stocks. Meanwhile, amid elevated inflation and significantly higher Treasury yields, investment-grade bonds broadly declined for the six months.

Remaining Diligent in Uncertain Times

We expect market volatility to linger as investors navigate a complex environment of persistent inflation, tighter financial conditions and recession risk. In addition, heightened geopolitical unrest complicates the global backdrop and represents another key consideration for our investment teams.

Our firm has a long history of helping clients weather unpredictable and volatile markets, and we’re determined to meet today’s challenges. Thank you for your trust and confidence in American Century Investments.

With appreciation and respect,

Shareholder Fee Example 

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

The example is based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from April 1, 2023 to September 30, 2023.

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 mutual fund, or I Class shares of the American Century Diversified Bond Fund, in an American Century Investments account (i.e., not through a financial intermediary or employer-sponsored retirement plan account), American Century Investments may charge you a $25 annual 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 $25 fee. In determining your total eligible investment amount, we will include your investments in all personal accounts (including American Century Investments brokerage accounts) registered under your Social Security number. Personal accounts include individual accounts, joint accounts, UGMA/UTMA accounts, personal trusts, Coverdell Education Savings Accounts and IRAs (including traditional, Roth, Rollover, SEP-, SARSEP- and SIMPLE-IRAs), and certain other retirement accounts. If you have only business, business retirement, employer-sponsored or American Century Investments brokerage accounts, you are currently not subject to this fee. If you are subject to the account maintenance fee, your account value could be reduced by the fee amount.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

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

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

Annualized expense ratio reflects actual expenses, including any applicable fee waivers or expense reimbursements and excluding any acquired fund fees and expenses.

Prime Money Market Fund (the fund) is one fund in a series issued by the trust. The fund’s investment objective is to seek to earn the highest level of current income while preserving the value of your investment.

The fund offers the Investor Class, A Class and C Class. The A Class and C Class may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

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

Investment Valuations — The fund determines the fair value of its investments and computes its net asset value (NAV) per share at the close of regular trading (usually 4 p.m. Eastern time) on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on each day the NYSE is open. The value of investments of the fund is determined by American Century Investment Management, Inc. (ACIM) (the investment advisor), as the valuation designee, pursuant to its valuation policies and procedures. The Board of Trustees oversees the valuation designee and reviews its valuation policies and procedures at least annually. Investments are generally valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. If the valuation designee determines that the valuation methods do not reflect an investment’s fair value, such investment is valued as determined in good faith by the valuation designee.

Security Transactions — Security transactions are accounted for as of the trade date. Net realized gains and losses are determined on the identified cost basis, which is also used for federal income tax purposes.

Investment Income — Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis and includes accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums. The fund may purchase a security and at the same time make a commitment to sell the same security at a future settlement date at a specified price. The difference between the purchase price and the sale price of these simultaneous transactions is reflected as interest income.

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

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

Distributions to Shareholders — Distributions from net investment income, if any, are declared daily and paid monthly. The fund may make capital gains distributions to comply with the distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue Code.
15



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

3. Fees and Transactions with Related Parties

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

Management Fees — The trust has entered into a management agreement with ACIM, under which ACIM provides the fund with investment advisory and management services in exchange for a single, unified management fee (the fee) per class. The agreement provides that ACIM will pay all expenses of managing and operating the fund, except brokerage expenses, taxes, interest, fees and expenses of the independent trustees (including legal counsel fees), extraordinary expenses, 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. The fee is computed and accrued daily based on each class’s daily net assets and paid monthly in arrears. The fee consists of (1) an Investment Category Fee based on the daily net assets of the fund and certain other accounts managed by the investment advisor that are in the same broad investment category as the fund and (2) a Complex Fee based on the assets of all funds in the American Century Investments family of funds that have the same investment advisor and distributor as the fund. For purposes of determining the Investment Category Fee and Complex Fee, the assets of funds managed by the investment advisor that invest exclusively in the shares of other funds (funds of funds) are not included. The rates for the Investment Category Fee range from 0.2370% to 0.3500% and the rates for the Complex Fee range from 0.2500% to 0.3100%. The effective annual management fee for each class for the period ended September 30, 2023 was 0.57%.

Distribution and Service Fees — The Board of Trustees has adopted a separate Master Distribution and Individual Shareholder Services Plan for each of the A Class and C Class (collectively the plans), pursuant to Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act. The plans provide that the A Class will pay ACIS an annual distribution and service fee of 0.25%. The plans provide that the C Class will pay ACIS an annual distribution and service fee of 0.75%, of which 0.25% is paid for individual shareholder services and 0.50% is paid for distribution services. The fees are computed and accrued daily based on each class’s daily net assets and paid monthly in arrears. The fees are used to pay financial intermediaries for distribution and individual shareholder services. Fees incurred under the plans during the period ended September 30, 2023 are detailed in the Statement of Operations.

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

Other Expenses — A fund’s other expenses may include interest charges, clearing exchange fees, proxy solicitation expenses, fees associated with the recovery of foreign tax reclaims and other miscellaneous expenses.

Interfund Transactions — The fund may enter into security transactions with other American Century Investments funds and other client accounts of the investment advisor, in accordance with the 1940 Act rules and procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. The rules and procedures require, among other things, that these transactions be effected at the independent current market price of the security. There were no interfund transactions during the period.

5. Fair Value Measurements

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

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

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

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

The level classification is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair valuation measurement. The valuation inputs are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in these securities or other financial instruments.

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

6. 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 March 31, 2023, the fund had accumulated short-term capital losses of $(176,551), 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 may be carried forward for an unlimited period. Future capital loss carryover utilization in any given year may be subject to Internal Revenue Code limitations.

Approval of Management Agreement

At a meeting held on June 14, 2023, the Fund’s Board of Trustees (the "Board") unanimously approved the renewal of the management agreement pursuant to which American Century Investment Management, Inc. (the “Advisor”) acts as the investment advisor for the Fund. Under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Investment Company Act”), contracts for investment advisory services are required to be reviewed, evaluated, and approved by a majority of a fund’s Trustees, including a majority of the independent Trustees. The Board regards this annual evaluation and renewal as one of its most important responsibilities.

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

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

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

the nature, extent, and quality of investment management, shareholder services, distribution services, and other services provided to the Fund;
the wide range of programs and services the Advisor and other service providers provide to the Fund and its shareholders on a routine and non-routine basis;
the Fund’s investment performance compared to appropriate benchmarks and/or peer groups of other mutual funds with similar investment objectives and strategies;
the cost of owning the Fund compared to the cost of owning similarly-managed funds;
the Advisor’s compliance policies, procedures, and regulatory experience and those of certain other service providers;
the Advisor’s strategic plans, generally, and with respect to areas of heightened regulatory interest in the mutual fund industry and certain recent geopolitical and other issues;
the Advisor’s business continuity plans, vendor management practices, and information security practices;
the cost of services provided to the Fund, the profitability of the Fund to the Advisor, and the Advisor’s financial results of operation;
possible economies of scale associated with the Advisor’s management of the Fund;
any collateral benefits derived by the Advisor from the management of the Fund;
fees and expenses associated with any investment by the Fund in other funds;
payments to intermediaries by the Fund and the Advisor and services provided by intermediaries in connection therewith; and
services provided and charges to the Advisor’s other investment management clients.

In keeping with its practice, the Board held two meetings and the independent Trustees met in private session to discuss the renewal and to review and discuss the information provided in response to their request. The Board held active discussions with the Advisor regarding the renewal of the management agreement. The independent Trustees had the benefit of the advice of their independent counsel throughout the process.
20



Factors Considered

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

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services — Generally. Under the management agreement, the Advisor is responsible for providing or arranging for all services necessary for the operation of the Fund. The Board noted that the Advisor provides or arranges at its own expense a wide variety of services including but not limited to

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

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

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

21



Shareholder and Other Services. Under the management agreement, the Advisor, either directly or through affiliates or third parties, provides the Fund with a comprehensive package of transfer agency, shareholder, and other services. The Board, directly and through its various committees, regularly reviews reports and evaluations of such services at its regular meetings. These reports include, but are not limited to, information regarding the operational efficiency and accuracy of the shareholder and transfer agency services provided, staffing levels, shareholder satisfaction, technology support (including information security), new products and services offered to Fund shareholders, securities trading activities, portfolio valuation services, auditing services, and legal and operational compliance activities. The Board found the services provided by the Advisor to the Fund under the management agreement to be competitive and of high quality.

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

Ethics. The Board generally considers the Advisor’s commitment to providing quality services to shareholders and to conducting its business ethically. They 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 Fund. The Board concluded that economies of scale are difficult to measure and predict with precision, especially on a fund-by-fund basis. The Board concluded that the Advisor is appropriately sharing economies of scale, to the extent they exist, through its fee structure and through reinvestment in its business, infrastructure, investment capabilities and initiatives to provide shareholders enhanced and expanded services.

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

22



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

Payments to Intermediaries. The Trustees also requested and received a description of payments made to intermediaries by the Fund and the Advisor and services provided by intermediaries. These payments include various payments made by the Fund or the Advisor to different types of intermediaries and recordkeepers for distribution and service activities provided with respect to the Fund. The Trustees reviewed such information and received representations from the Advisor that all such payments by the Fund were made pursuant to the Fund’s Rule 12b-1 Plan and that all such payments by the Advisor were made from the Advisor’s resources and reasonable profits.

Collateral or “Fall-Out” Benefits Derived by the Advisor. The Board considered the possible existence of collateral benefits the Advisor may receive as a result of its relationship with the Fund. The Board noted that the Advisor’s primary business is managing 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 may receive proprietary research from broker-dealers that execute fund portfolio transactions. The Board also determined that the Advisor is able to provide investment management services to certain clients other than the Fund, at least in part, due to its existing infrastructure built to serve the fund complex. The Board also noted that the assets of those other accounts are, where applicable, included with the assets of the Fund to determine breakpoints in the management fee schedule.

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

Conclusion of the Trustees. As a result of this process, the Board, including all of the independent Trustees, taking into account all of the factors discussed above and the information provided by the Advisor and others in connection with its review and received over time, concluded that the terms of the management agreement are fair and reasonable and that the management fee charged to the Fund is reasonable in light of the services provided and that the management agreement between the Fund and the Advisor should be renewed for an additional one-year period.

Additional Information

Retirement Account Information

As required by law, distributions you receive from certain retirement accounts are subject to federal income tax withholding at the IRS default rate of 10%.* Tax will be withheld on the total amount withdrawn even though you may be receiving amounts that are not subject to withholding, such as nondeductible contributions. In such case, excess amounts of withholding could occur. You may adjust your withholding election so that a greater or lesser amount will be withheld.

You may elect a different withholding rate, or request zero withholding, by submitting an acceptable IRS Form W-4R election with your distribution request. You may notify us of your W-4R election by telephone, on our distribution forms, on IRS Form W-4R, or through other acceptable electronic means. If your withholding election is for an automatic withdrawal plan, you have the right to revoke your election at any time and any election you make will remain in effect until revoked by filing a new election.

Remember, even if you elect not to have income tax withheld, you are liable for paying income tax on the taxable portion of your withdrawal. If you elect not to have income tax withheld or you don’t have enough income tax withheld, you may be responsible for payment of estimated tax. You may incur penalties under the estimated tax rules if your withholding and estimated tax payments are not sufficient. You can reduce or defer the income tax on a distribution by directly or indirectly rolling such distribution over to another IRA or eligible plan. You should consult your tax advisor for additional information.

State tax will be withheld according to state regulations if, at the time of your distribution, your tax residency is within one of the mandatory withholding states.

*Some 403(b), 457 and qualified retirement plan distributions may be subject to 20% mandatory withholding, as they are subject to special tax and withholding rules.  Your plan administrator or plan sponsor is required to provide you with a special tax notice explaining those rules at the time you request a distribution.  If applicable, federal and/or state taxes may be withheld from your distribution amount.

President’s Letter

Dear Investor:

Thank you for reviewing this semiannual report for the period ended September 30, 2023. It provides a market overview (below), followed by a schedule of fund investments and other financial information. For additional investment insights, please visit americancentury.com.

Stocks Persevered, Bonds Struggled

Soaring Treasury yields weighed on bond returns for the six-month period. Stocks rallied in the first half of the reporting period before succumbing to the Treasury yield surge in the second half.

Investor expectations for the Federal Reserve (Fed) to conclude its rate-hike campaign helped fuel investor optimism early in the period. Inflation’s steady slowdown, tighter lending conditions and growing recession worries contributed to that outlook. Supported by better-than-expected corporate earnings, U.S. stocks rose sharply, while bonds retreated on rising Treasury yields.

With inflation still higher than central bank targets, the Fed increased interest rates a quarter point in May before pausing in June. Policymakers resumed their tightening campaign in July, raising rates to a range of 5.25% to 5.5%, a 22-year high, and paused again in September. Citing still-higher-than-target inflation and still-solid economic data, the Fed left its future policy options open, and investors digested a higher-for-longer rate outlook. Treasury yields marched higher, including the benchmark 10-year Treasury yield, which reached a 16-year high late in the period. Overall, the 10-year Treasury yield jumped from 3.47% on March 31 to 4.58% at September-end, while the two-year yield rocketed from 4.03% to 5.05%.

The first-half rally helped the S&P 500 Index overcome its second-half decline, and stocks returned 5.18% for the six-month period. Growth stocks sharply outperformed value stocks. Meanwhile, amid elevated inflation and significantly higher Treasury yields, investment-grade bonds broadly declined for the six months.

Remaining Diligent in Uncertain Times

We expect market volatility to linger as investors navigate a complex environment of persistent inflation, tighter financial conditions and recession risk. In addition, heightened geopolitical unrest complicates the global backdrop and represents another key consideration for our investment teams.

Our firm has a long history of helping clients weather unpredictable and volatile markets, and we’re determined to meet today’s challenges. Thank you for your trust and confidence in American Century Investments.

With appreciation and respect,

Shareholder Fee Example

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

The example is based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from April 1, 2023 to September 30, 2023.

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 mutual fund, or I Class shares of the American Century Diversified Bond Fund, in an American Century Investments account (i.e., not through a financial intermediary or employer-sponsored retirement plan account), American Century Investments may charge you a $25 annual 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 $25 fee. In determining your total eligible investment amount, we will include your investments in all personal accounts (including American Century Investments brokerage accounts) registered under your Social Security number. Personal accounts include individual accounts, joint accounts, UGMA/UTMA accounts, personal trusts, Coverdell Education Savings Accounts and IRAs (including traditional, Roth, Rollover, SEP-, SARSEP- and SIMPLE-IRAs), and certain other retirement accounts. If you have only business, business retirement, employer-sponsored or American Century Investments brokerage accounts, you are currently not subject to this fee. If you are subject to the account maintenance fee, your account value could be reduced by the fee amount.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

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

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

(1)Expenses are equal to the class's annualized expense ratio listed in the table above, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 183, the number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year, divided by 366, to reflect the one-half year period. Annualized expense ratio reflects actual expenses, including any applicable fee waivers or expense reimbursements and excluding any acquired fund fees and expenses.

Notes to Financial Statements

SEPTEMBER 30, 2023 (UNAUDITED)

1. Organization

American Century Investment Trust (the trust) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company and is organized as a Massachusetts business trust. Short Duration Fund (the fund) is one fund in a series issued by the trust. The fund’s investment objective is to seek to maximize total return. As a secondary objective, the fund seeks a high level of income.

The fund offers the Investor Class, I Class, A Class, C Class, R Class, R5 Class, R6 Class and G Class. The A Class may incur an initial sales charge. The A Class and C Class may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

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

Investment Valuations — The fund determines the fair value of its investments and computes its net asset value (NAV) per share at the close of regular trading (usually 4 p.m. Eastern time) on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on each day the NYSE is open. The value of investments of the fund is determined by American Century Investment Management, Inc. (ACIM) (the investment advisor), as the valuation designee, pursuant to its valuation policies and procedures. The Board of Trustees oversees the valuation designee and reviews its valuation policies and procedures at least annually.

Fixed income securities are valued at the evaluated mean as provided by independent pricing services or at the mean of the most recent bid and asked prices as provided by investment dealers. Corporate bonds, U.S. Treasury and Government Agency securities, and bank loan obligations are valued using market models that consider trade data, quotations from dealers and active market makers, relevant yield curve and spread data, creditworthiness, trade data or market information on comparable securities, and other relevant security specific information. Mortgage-related and asset-backed securities are valued based on models that consider trade data, prepayment and default projections, benchmark yield and spread data and estimated cash flows of each tranche of the issuer. Collateralized loan obligations are valued based on discounted cash flow models that consider trade and economic data, prepayment assumptions and default projections. Commercial paper is valued using a curve-based approach that considers money market rates for specific instruments, programs, currencies and maturity points from a variety of active market makers.

Open-end management investment companies are valued at the reported NAV per share. Repurchase agreements are valued at cost, which approximates fair value. Exchange-traded futures contracts are valued at the settlement price as provided by the appropriate exchange. Swap agreements are valued at an evaluated mean as provided by independent pricing services or independent brokers.

If the valuation designee determines that the market price for a portfolio security is not readily available or is believed by the valuation designee to be unreliable, such security is valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the valuation designee, in accordance with its policies and procedures. Circumstances that may cause the fund to determine that market quotations are not available or reliable include, but are not limited to: when there is a significant event subsequent to the market quotation; trading in a security has been halted during the trading day; or trading in a security is insufficient or did not take place due to a closure or holiday.

The valuation designee monitors for significant events occurring after the close of an investment’s primary exchange but before the fund’s NAV per share is determined. Significant events may include, but are not limited to: corporate announcements and transactions; regulatory news, governmental action and political unrest that could impact a specific investment or an investment sector; or armed conflicts, natural disasters and similar events that could affect investments in a specific country or region.
20


Security Transactions — Security transactions are accounted for as of the trade date. Net realized gains and losses are determined on the identified cost basis, which is also used for federal income tax purposes.

Investment Income — Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis and includes paydown gain (loss) and accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums. Inflation adjustments related to inflation-linked debt securities are reflected as interest income.

Repurchase Agreements — The fund may enter into repurchase agreements with institutions that ACIM has determined are creditworthy pursuant to criteria adopted by the Board of Trustees. The fund requires that the collateral, represented by securities, received in a repurchase transaction be transferred to the custodian in a manner sufficient to enable the fund to obtain those securities in the event of a default under the repurchase agreement. ACIM monitors, on a daily basis, the securities transferred to ensure the value, including accrued interest, of the securities under each repurchase agreement is equal to or greater than amounts owed to the fund under each repurchase agreement.

Joint Trading Account — Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the fund, along with certain other funds in the American Century Investments family of funds, may transfer uninvested cash balances into a joint trading account. These balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Agency obligations.

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

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

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

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

3. Fees and Transactions with Related Parties

Certain officers and trustees of the trust are also officers and/or directors of American Century Companies, Inc. (ACC). The trust's investment advisor, ACIM, the trust's distributor, American Century Investment Services, Inc. (ACIS), and the trust's transfer agent, American Century Services, LLC, are wholly owned, directly or indirectly, by ACC. Various funds issued by American Century Asset Allocation Portfolios, Inc. own, in aggregate, 47% of the shares of the fund. Related parties do not invest in the fund for the purpose of exercising management or control.

21


Management Fees — The trust has entered into a management agreement with ACIM, under which ACIM provides the fund with investment advisory and management services in exchange for a single, unified management fee (the fee) per class. The agreement provides that ACIM will pay all expenses of managing and operating the fund, except brokerage expenses, taxes, interest, fees and expenses of the independent trustees (including legal counsel fees), extraordinary expenses, 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. The fee is computed and accrued daily based on each class’s daily net assets and paid monthly in arrears. The difference in the fee among the classes is a result of their separate arrangements for non-Rule 12b-1 shareholder services. It is not the result of any difference in advisory or custodial fees or other expenses related to the management of the fund's assets, which do not vary by class. The fee consists of (1) an Investment Category Fee based on the daily net assets of the fund and certain other accounts managed by the investment advisor that are in the same broad investment category as the fund and (2) a Complex Fee based on the assets of all funds in the American Century Investments family of funds that have the same investment advisor and distributor as the fund. For purposes of determining the Investment Category Fee and Complex Fee, the assets of funds managed by the investment advisor that invest exclusively in the shares of other funds (funds of funds) are not included. From April 1, 2023 through July 31, 2023, the investment advisor agreed to waive 0.02% of the fund's management fee. Effective August 1, 2023, the investment advisor terminated the waiver and decreased the annual management fee by 0.02%. The investment advisor agreed to waive the G Class's management fee in its entirety. The investment advisor expects this waiver to remain in effect permanently and cannot terminate it without the approval of the Board of Trustees.

The Investment Category Fee range, the Complex Fee range and the effective annual management fee before and after waiver for each class for the period ended September 30, 2023 are as follows:

*Prior to August 1, 2023, the Investment Category Fee range was 0.2825% to 0.4000%.

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, C Class and R Class (collectively the plans), pursuant to Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act. The plans provide that the A Class will pay ACIS an annual distribution and service fee of 0.25%. The plans provide that the C Class will pay ACIS an annual distribution and service fee of 1.00%, of which 0.25% is paid for individual shareholder services and 0.75% is paid for distribution services. The plans provide that the R Class will pay ACIS an annual distribution and service fee of 0.50%. 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 period ended September 30, 2023 are detailed in the Statement of Operations.

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

Other Expenses — A fund’s other expenses may include interest charges, clearing exchange fees, proxy solicitation expenses, fees associated with the recovery of foreign tax reclaims and other miscellaneous expenses.

22


Interfund Transactions — The fund may enter into security transactions with other American Century Investments funds and other client accounts of the investment advisor, in accordance with the 1940 Act rules and procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. The rules and procedures require, among other things, that these transactions be effected at the independent current market price of the security. There were no interfund transactions during the period.

6. Fair Value Measurements

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

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

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

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

The level classification is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair valuation measurement. The valuation inputs are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in these securities or other financial instruments.

The following is a summary of the level classifications as of period end. The Schedule of Investments provides additional information on the fund's portfolio holdings.

7. Derivative Instruments

Interest Rate Risk — The fund is subject to interest rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The value of bonds generally declines as interest rates rise. A fund may enter into futures contracts based on a bond index or a specific underlying security. A fund may purchase futures contracts to gain exposure to increases in market value or sell futures contracts to protect against a decline in market value. Upon entering into a futures contract, a fund will segregate cash, cash equivalents or other appropriate liquid securities on its records in amounts sufficient to meet requirements. A fund may incur charges or earn income on cash deposit balances, which are reflected in interest expenses or interest income, respectively. Subsequent payments (variation margin) are made or received daily, in cash, by a fund. The variation margin is equal to the daily change in the contract value and is recorded as unrealized gains and losses. A fund recognizes a realized gain or loss when the futures contract is closed or expires. Net realized and unrealized gains or losses occurring during the holding period of futures contracts are a component of net realized gain (loss) on futures contract transactions and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on futures contracts, respectively. One of the risks of entering into futures contracts is the possibility that the change in value of the contract may not correlate with the changes in value of the underlying securities. The fund's average notional exposure to interest rate risk derivative instruments held during the period was $665,206,015 futures contracts purchased and $118,854,752 futures contracts sold.

Other Contracts — A fund may enter into total return swap agreements in order to attempt to obtain or preserve a particular return or spread at a lower cost than obtaining a return or spread through purchases and/or sales of instruments in other markets or gain exposure to certain markets in the most economical way possible. A fund will segregate cash, cash equivalents or other appropriate liquid securities on its records in amounts sufficient to meet requirements. Changes in value, including the periodic amounts of interest to be paid or received on swap agreements, are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on swap agreements. Upon entering into a centrally cleared swap, a fund is required to deposit cash or securities (initial margin) with a financial intermediary in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the notional amount. A fund may incur charges or earn income on cash deposit balances, which are reflected in interest expenses or interest income, respectively. 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 value and is a component of unrealized gains and losses. Realized gain or loss is recorded upon receipt or payment of a periodic settlement or termination of swap agreements. Net realized and unrealized gains or losses occurring during the holding period of swap agreements are a component of net realized gain (loss) on swap agreement transactions and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on swap agreements, respectively. The risks of entering into swap agreements include the possible lack of liquidity, failure of the counterparty to meet its obligations, and that there may be unfavorable changes in the underlying investments or instruments, including inflationary risk. The fund's average notional amount held during the period was $26,300,000.

8. Risk Factors

The value of the fund’s shares will go up and down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably, based on the performance of the securities owned by the fund 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.

The fund may invest in instruments that have variable or floating coupon rates based on the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR). LIBOR is a benchmark interest rate intended to be representative of the rate at which certain major international banks lend to one another over short-terms. Financial institutions have started the process of phasing out LIBOR and the transition process to a replacement rate may lead to increased volatility or illiquidity in markets for instruments that rely on LIBOR. This could result in a change to the value of such instruments or a change in the cost of temporary borrowing for the fund.

The fund's investment process may result in high portfolio turnover, which could mean high transaction costs, affecting both performance and capital gains tax liabilities to investors.

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 period end, the components of investments for federal income tax purposes were as follows:
Federal tax cost of investments$1,415,368,224 
Gross tax appreciation of investments$1,918,200 
Gross tax depreciation of investments(27,860,946)
Net tax appreciation (depreciation) of investments$(25,942,746)

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

As of March 31, 2023, the fund had accumulated short-term capital losses of $(35,873,796) and accumulated long-term capital losses of $(31,783,090), 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 may be carried forward for an unlimited period. Future capital loss carryover utilization in any given year may be subject to Internal Revenue Code limitations.

Approval of Management Agreement

At a meeting held on June 14, 2023, the Fund’s Board of Trustees (the "Board") unanimously approved the renewal of the management agreement pursuant to which American Century Investment Management, Inc. (the “Advisor”) acts as the investment advisor for the Fund. Under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Investment Company Act”), contracts for investment advisory services are required to be reviewed, evaluated, and approved by a majority of a fund’s Trustees, including a majority of the independent Trustees. The Board regards this annual evaluation and renewal as one of its most important responsibilities.

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

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

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

the nature, extent, and quality of investment management, shareholder services, distribution services, and other services provided to the Fund;
the wide range of programs and services the Advisor and other service providers provide to the Fund and its shareholders on a routine and non-routine basis;
the Fund’s investment performance compared to appropriate benchmarks and/or peer groups of other mutual funds with similar investment objectives and strategies;
the cost of owning the Fund compared to the cost of owning similarly-managed funds;
the Advisor’s compliance policies, procedures, and regulatory experience and those of certain other service providers;
the Advisor’s strategic plans, generally, and with respect to areas of heightened regulatory interest in the mutual fund industry and certain recent geopolitical and other issues;
the Advisor’s business continuity plans, vendor management practices, and information security practices;
the cost of services provided to the Fund, the profitability of the Fund to the Advisor, and the Advisor’s financial results of operation;
possible economies of scale associated with the Advisor’s management of the Fund;
any collateral benefits derived by the Advisor from the management of the Fund;
fees and expenses associated with any investment by the Fund in other funds;
payments to intermediaries by the Fund and the Advisor and services provided by intermediaries in connection therewith; and
services provided and charges to the Advisor’s other investment management clients.

In keeping with its practice, the Board held two meetings and the independent Trustees met in private session to discuss the renewal and to review and discuss the information provided in response to their request. The Board held active discussions with the Advisor regarding the renewal of the management agreement. The independent Trustees had the benefit of the advice of their independent counsel throughout the process.
33



Factors Considered

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

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services — Generally. Under the management agreement, the Advisor is responsible for providing or arranging for all services necessary for the operation of the Fund. The Board noted that the Advisor provides or arranges at its own expense a wide variety of services including but not limited to

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

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

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


34


Shareholder and Other Services. Under the management agreement, the Advisor, either directly or through affiliates or third parties, provides the Fund with a comprehensive package of transfer agency, shareholder, and other services. The Board, directly and through its various committees, regularly reviews reports and evaluations of such services at its regular meetings. These reports include, but are not limited to, information regarding the operational efficiency and accuracy of the shareholder and transfer agency services provided, staffing levels, shareholder satisfaction, technology support (including information security), new products and services offered to Fund shareholders, securities trading activities, portfolio valuation services, auditing services, and legal and operational compliance activities. The Board found the services provided by the Advisor to the Fund under the management agreement to be competitive and of high quality.

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

Ethics. The Board generally considers the Advisor’s commitment to providing quality services to shareholders and to conducting its business ethically. They 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 Fund. The Board concluded that economies of scale are difficult to measure and predict with precision, especially on a fund-by-fund basis. The Board concluded that the Advisor is appropriately sharing economies of scale, to the extent they exist, through its fee structure and through reinvestment in its business, infrastructure, investment capabilities and initiatives to provide shareholders enhanced and expanded services.

Comparison to Other Funds’ Fees. The management agreement provides that the Fund pays the Advisor a single, all-inclusive (or unified) management fee for providing all services necessary for the management and operation of the Fund, other than brokerage and other transaction fees and expenses relating to acquisition and disposition of portfolio securities, acquired fund fees and expenses, taxes, interest, extraordinary expenses, fund litigation expenses, fees and expenses of the Fund’s independent Trustees (including their independent legal counsel), and expenses incurred in connection with the provision of shareholder services and distribution services under a plan adopted pursuant to Investment Company Act Rule 12b-1. Under this unified fee structure, the Advisor is responsible for providing investment advisory, custody, audit, administrative, compliance, recordkeeping, marketing, and shareholder services, or arranging and supervising third parties to provide such services. By contrast, most other funds are charged a variety of fees, including an investment advisory fee, a transfer agency fee, an administrative fee, and other expenses. Other than their investment advisory fees and any applicable Rule 12b-1 distribution fees, all other components of the total fees charged by these other funds may be increased without shareholder approval. The Board believes the unified fee structure is a benefit to Fund shareholders because it clearly discloses to shareholders the cost of owning Fund shares, and, since the unified fee cannot be increased without a vote of Fund shareholders, it shifts to the Advisor the risk of increased costs of operating the Fund and provides a direct incentive to minimize administrative inefficiencies. Part of the Board’s analysis of fee levels involves reviewing certain evaluative data compiled by an independent provider comparing the Fund’s unified fee to the total expense ratio of peer funds. The net unified fee charged to shareholders of the Fund was above the median of the total expense ratios of the Fund’s peer expense group. The Board and the Advisor agreed to a change in the fee schedule for the Fund that should result in a reduction of the Fund’s management fee beginning August 1, 2023. The Board concluded that the management fee paid by the Fund to the Advisor under the management agreement is reasonable in light of the services provided to the Fund.

Comparison to Fees and Services Provided to Other Clients of the Advisor. The Board also requested and received information from the Advisor concerning the nature of the services, fees, costs, and profitability of its advisory services to advisory clients other than the Fund. They
35


observed that these varying types of client accounts require different services and involve different regulatory and entrepreneurial risks than the management of the Fund. The Board analyzed this information and concluded that the fees charged and services provided to the Fund were reasonable by comparison.

Payments to Intermediaries. The Trustees also requested and received a description of payments made to intermediaries by the Fund and the Advisor and services provided by intermediaries. These payments include various payments made by the Fund or the Advisor to different types of intermediaries and recordkeepers for distribution and service activities provided with respect to the Fund. The Trustees reviewed such information and received representations from the Advisor that all such payments by the Fund were made pursuant to the Fund’s Rule 12b-1 Plan and that all such payments by the Advisor were made from the Advisor’s resources and reasonable profits.

Collateral or “Fall-Out” Benefits Derived by the Advisor. The Board considered the possible existence of collateral benefits the Advisor may receive as a result of its relationship with the Fund. The Board noted that the Advisor’s primary business is managing 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 may receive proprietary research from broker-dealers that execute fund portfolio transactions. The Board also determined that the Advisor is able to provide investment management services to certain clients other than the Fund, at least in part, due to its existing infrastructure built to serve the fund complex. The Board also noted that the assets of those other accounts are, where applicable, included with the assets of the Fund to determine breakpoints in the management fee schedule.

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

Conclusion of the Trustees. As a result of this process, the Board, including all of the independent Trustees, taking into account all of the factors discussed above and the information provided by the Advisor and others in connection with its review and received over time, concluded that the terms of the management agreement are fair and reasonable and that the management fee charged to the Fund is reasonable in light of the services provided and that the management agreement between the Fund and the Advisor should be renewed for an additional one-year period.

Additional Information

Retirement Account Information

As required by law, distributions you receive from certain retirement accounts are subject to federal income tax withholding at the IRS default rate of 10%.* Tax will be withheld on the total amount withdrawn even though you may be receiving amounts that are not subject to withholding, such as nondeductible contributions. In such case, excess amounts of withholding could occur. You may adjust your withholding election so that a greater or lesser amount will be withheld.

You may elect a different withholding rate, or request zero withholding, by submitting an acceptable IRS Form W-4R election with your distribution request. You may notify us of your W-4R election by telephone, on our distribution forms, on IRS Form W-4R, or through other acceptable electronic means. If your withholding election is for an automatic withdrawal plan, you have the right to revoke your election at any time and any election you make will remain in effect until revoked by filing a new election.

Remember, even if you elect not to have income tax withheld, you are liable for paying income tax on the taxable portion of your withdrawal. If you elect not to have income tax withheld or you don’t have enough income tax withheld, you may be responsible for payment of estimated tax. You may incur penalties under the estimated tax rules if your withholding and estimated tax payments are not sufficient. You can reduce or defer the income tax on a distribution by directly or indirectly rolling such distribution over to another IRA or eligible plan. You should consult your tax advisor for additional information.

State tax will be withheld according to state regulations if, at the time of your distribution, your tax residency is within one of the mandatory withholding states.

*Some 403(b), 457 and qualified retirement plan distributions may be subject to 20% mandatory withholding, as they are subject to special tax and withholding rules.  Your plan administrator or plan sponsor is required to provide you with a special tax notice explaining those rules at the time you request a distribution.  If applicable, federal and/or state taxes may be withheld from your distribution amount.

Dear Investor:

Thank you for reviewing this semiannual report for the period ended September 30, 2023. It provides a market overview (below), followed by a schedule of fund investments and other financial information. For additional investment insights, please visit americancentury.com.

Stocks Persevered, Bonds Struggled

Soaring Treasury yields weighed on bond returns for the six-month period. Stocks rallied in the first half of the reporting period before succumbing to the Treasury yield surge in the second half.

Investor expectations for the Federal Reserve (Fed) to conclude its rate-hike campaign helped fuel investor optimism early in the period. Inflation’s steady slowdown, tighter lending conditions and growing recession worries contributed to that outlook. Supported by better-than-expected corporate earnings, U.S. stocks rose sharply, while bonds retreated on rising Treasury yields.

With inflation still higher than central bank targets, the Fed increased interest rates a quarter point in May before pausing in June. Policymakers resumed their tightening campaign in July, raising rates to a range of 5.25% to 5.5%, a 22-year high, and paused again in September. Citing still-higher-than-target inflation and still-solid economic data, the Fed left its future policy options open, and investors digested a higher-for-longer rate outlook. Treasury yields marched higher, including the benchmark 10-year Treasury yield, which reached a 16-year high late in the period. Overall, the 10-year Treasury yield jumped from 3.47% on March 31 to 4.58% at September-end, while the two-year yield rocketed from 4.03% to 5.05%.

The first-half rally helped the S&P 500 Index overcome its second-half decline, and stocks returned 5.18% for the six-month period. Growth stocks sharply outperformed value stocks. Meanwhile, amid elevated inflation and significantly higher Treasury yields, investment-grade bonds broadly declined for the six months.

Remaining Diligent in Uncertain Times

We expect market volatility to linger as investors navigate a complex environment of persistent inflation, tighter financial conditions and recession risk. In addition, heightened geopolitical unrest complicates the global backdrop and represents another key consideration for our investment teams.

Our firm has a long history of helping clients weather unpredictable and volatile markets, and we’re determined to meet today’s challenges. Thank you for your trust and confidence in American Century Investments.

With appreciation and respect,

Shareholder Fee Example 

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

The example is based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from April 1, 2023 to September 30, 2023.

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 mutual fund, or I Class shares of the American Century Diversified Bond Fund, in an American Century Investments account (i.e., not through a financial intermediary or employer-sponsored retirement plan account), American Century Investments may charge you a $25 annual 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 $25 fee. In determining your total eligible investment amount, we will include your investments in all personal accounts (including American Century Investments brokerage accounts) registered under your Social Security number. Personal accounts include individual accounts, joint accounts, UGMA/UTMA accounts, personal trusts, Coverdell Education Savings Accounts and IRAs (including traditional, Roth, Rollover, SEP-, SARSEP- and SIMPLE-IRAs), and certain other retirement accounts. If you have only business, business retirement, employer-sponsored or American Century Investments brokerage accounts, you are currently not subject to this fee. If you are subject to the account maintenance fee, your account value could be reduced by the fee amount.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

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

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

(1)Expenses are equal to the class's annualized expense ratio listed in the table above, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 183, the number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year, divided by 366, to reflect the one-half year period. Annualized expense ratio reflects actual expenses, including any applicable fee waivers or expense reimbursements and excluding any acquired fund fees and expenses.

Notes to Financial Statements

SEPTEMBER 30, 2023 (UNAUDITED)

1. Organization

American Century Investment Trust (the trust) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company and is organized as a Massachusetts business trust. Short Duration Inflation Protection Bond Fund (the fund) is one fund in a series issued by the trust. The fund’s investment objective is to pursue total return using a strategy that seeks to protect against U.S. inflation.

The fund offers the Investor Class, I Class, Y Class, A Class, C Class, R Class, R5 Class, R6 Class and G Class. The A Class may incur an initial sales charge. The A Class and C Class may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge. 

2. Significant Accounting Policies

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

Investment Valuations — The fund determines the fair value of its investments and computes its net asset value (NAV) per share at the close of regular trading (usually 4 p.m. Eastern time) on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on each day the NYSE is open. The value of investments of the fund is determined by American Century Investment Management, Inc. (ACIM) (the investment advisor), as the valuation designee, pursuant to its valuation policies and procedures. The Board of Trustees oversees the valuation designee and reviews its valuation policies and procedures at least annually.

Fixed income securities are valued at the evaluated mean as provided by independent pricing services or at the mean of the most recent bid and asked prices as provided by investment dealers. Corporate bonds and U.S. Treasury and Government Agency securities are valued using market models that consider trade data, quotations from dealers and active market makers, relevant yield curve and spread data, creditworthiness, trade data or market information on comparable securities, and other relevant security specific information. Mortgage-related and asset-backed securities are valued based on models that consider trade data, prepayment and default projections, benchmark yield and spread data and estimated cash flows of each tranche of the issuer. Collateralized loan obligations are valued based on discounted cash flow models that consider trade and economic data, prepayment assumptions and default projections. Commercial paper is valued using a curve-based approach that considers money market rates for specific instruments, programs, currencies and maturity points from a variety of active market makers.

Open-end management investment companies are valued at the reported NAV per share. Repurchase agreements are valued at cost, which approximates fair value. Exchange-traded futures contracts are valued at the settlement price as provided by the appropriate exchange. Swap agreements are valued at an evaluated mean as provided by independent pricing services or independent brokers.

If the valuation designee determines that the market price for a portfolio security is not readily available or is believed by the valuation designee to be unreliable, such security is valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the valuation designee, in accordance with its policies and procedures. Circumstances that may cause the fund to determine that market quotations are not available or reliable include, but are not limited to: when there is a significant event subsequent to the market quotation; trading in a security has been halted during the trading day; or trading in a security is insufficient or did not take place due to a closure or holiday.

The valuation designee monitors for significant events occurring after the close of an investment’s primary exchange but before the fund’s NAV per share is determined. Significant events may include, but are not limited to: corporate announcements and transactions; regulatory news, governmental action and political unrest that could impact a specific investment or an investment sector; or armed conflicts, natural disasters and similar events that could affect investments in a specific country or region.
13


Security Transactions — Security transactions are accounted for as of the trade date. Net realized gains and losses are determined on the identified cost basis, which is also used for federal income tax purposes.

Investment Income — Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis and includes paydown gain (loss) and accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums. Inflation adjustments related to inflation-linked debt securities are reflected as interest income.

Repurchase Agreements — The fund may enter into repurchase agreements with institutions that ACIM has determined are creditworthy pursuant to criteria adopted by the Board of Trustees. The fund requires that the collateral, represented by securities, received in a repurchase transaction be transferred to the custodian in a manner sufficient to enable the fund to obtain those securities in the event of a default under the repurchase agreement. ACIM monitors, on a daily basis, the securities transferred to ensure the value, including accrued interest, of the securities under each repurchase agreement is equal to or greater than amounts owed to the fund under each repurchase agreement.

Joint Trading Account — Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the fund, along with certain other funds in the American Century Investments family of funds, may transfer uninvested cash balances into a joint trading account. These balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Agency obligations.

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

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

Distributions to Shareholders — Distributions from net investment income, if any, are generally declared and paid quarterly, but may be paid less frequently. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are generally declared and paid annually.

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

3. Fees and Transactions with Related Parties

Certain officers and trustees of the trust are also officers and/or directors of American Century Companies, Inc. (ACC). The trust's investment advisor, ACIM, the trust's distributor, American Century Investment Services, Inc. (ACIS), and the trust's transfer agent, American Century Services, LLC, are wholly owned, directly or indirectly, by ACC. Various funds issued by American Century Asset Allocation Portfolios, Inc. own, in aggregate, 25% of the shares of the fund. Related parties do not invest in the fund for the purpose of exercising management or control.

Management Fees — The trust has entered into a management agreement with ACIM, under which ACIM provides the fund with investment advisory and management services in exchange for a single, unified management fee (the fee) per class. The agreement provides that ACIM will pay all expenses of managing and operating the fund, except brokerage expenses, taxes, interest, fees and expenses of the independent trustees (including legal counsel fees), extraordinary expenses, 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. The fee is computed and accrued daily based on each class’s daily net assets and paid monthly in arrears. The difference in the fee among the classes is a result of their separate arrangements for non-Rule
14


12b-1 shareholder services. It is not the result of any difference in advisory or custodial fees or other expenses related to the management of the fund's assets, which do not vary by class. The fee consists of (1) an Investment Category Fee based on the daily net assets of the fund and certain other accounts managed by the investment advisor that are in the same broad investment category as the fund and (2) a Complex Fee based on the assets of all funds in the American Century Investments family of funds that have the same investment advisor and distributor as the fund. For purposes of determining the Investment Category Fee and Complex Fee, the assets of funds managed by the investment advisor that invest exclusively in the shares of other funds (funds of funds) are not included. The investment advisor agreed to waive the G Class's management fee in its entirety. The investment advisor expects this waiver to remain in effect permanently and cannot terminate it without the approval of the Board of Trustees.

The Investment Category Fee range, the Complex Fee range and the effective annual management fee for each class for the period ended September 30, 2023 are as follows:
Investment Category

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, C Class and R Class (collectively the plans), pursuant to Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act. The plans provide that the A Class will pay ACIS an annual distribution and service fee of 0.25%. The plans provide that the C Class will pay ACIS an annual distribution and service fee of 1.00%, of which 0.25% is paid for individual shareholder services and 0.75% is paid for distribution services. The plans provide that the R Class will pay ACIS an annual distribution and service fee of 0.50%. 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 period ended September 30, 2023 are detailed in the Statement of Operations.

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

Interfund Transactions — The fund may enter into security transactions with other American Century Investments funds and other client accounts of the investment advisor, in accordance with the 1940 Act rules and procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. The rules and procedures require, among other things, that these transactions be effected at the independent current market price of the security. There were no interfund transactions during the period.

4. Investment Transactions

Purchases of investment securities, excluding short-term investments, for the period ended September 30, 2023 totaled $171,790,527, of which $159,616,809 represented U.S. Treasury and Government Agency obligations.

6. Fair Value Measurements

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

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

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

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

The level classification is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair valuation measurement. The valuation inputs are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in these securities or other financial instruments.

The following is a summary of the level classifications as of period end. The Schedule of Investments provides additional information on the fund's portfolio holdings.

7. Derivative Instruments

Interest Rate Risk — The fund is subject to interest rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The value of bonds generally declines as interest rates rise. A fund may enter into futures contracts based on a bond index or a specific underlying security. A fund may purchase futures contracts to gain exposure to increases in market value or sell futures contracts to protect against a decline in market value. Upon entering into a futures contract, a fund will segregate cash, cash equivalents or other appropriate liquid securities on its records in amounts sufficient to meet requirements. A fund may incur charges or earn income on cash deposit balances, which are reflected in interest expenses or interest income, respectively. Subsequent payments (variation margin) are made or received daily, in cash, by a fund. The variation margin is equal to the daily change in the contract value and is recorded as unrealized gains and losses. A fund recognizes a realized gain or loss when the futures contract is closed or expires. Net realized and unrealized gains or losses occurring during the holding period of futures contracts are a component of net realized gain (loss) on futures contract transactions and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on futures contracts, respectively. One of the risks of entering into futures contracts is the possibility that the change in value of the contract may not correlate with the changes in value of the underlying securities. The fund's average notional exposure to interest rate risk derivative instruments held during the period was $577,713,782 futures contracts purchased.

Other Contracts — A fund may enter into total return swap agreements in order to attempt to obtain or preserve a particular return or spread at a lower cost than obtaining a return or spread through purchases and/or sales of instruments in other markets or gain exposure to certain markets in the most economical way possible. A fund will segregate cash, cash equivalents or other appropriate liquid securities on its records in amounts sufficient to meet requirements. Changes in value, including the periodic amounts of interest to be paid or received on swap agreements, are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on swap agreements. Upon entering into a centrally cleared swap, a fund is required to deposit cash or securities (initial margin) with a financial intermediary in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the notional amount. A fund may incur charges or earn income on cash deposit balances, which are reflected in interest expenses or interest income, respectively. 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 value and is a component of unrealized gains and losses. Realized gain or loss is recorded upon receipt or payment of a periodic settlement or termination of swap agreements. Net realized and unrealized gains or losses occurring during the holding period of swap agreements are a component of net realized gain (loss) on swap agreement transactions and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on swap agreements, respectively. The risks of entering into swap agreements include the possible lack of liquidity, failure of the counterparty to meet its obligations, and that there may be unfavorable changes in the underlying investments or instruments, including inflationary risk. The fund's average notional amount held during the period was $754,616,667.

8. Risk Factors

The value of the fund’s shares will go up and down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably, based on the performance of the securities owned by the fund 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.

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 period end, the components of investments for federal income tax purposes were as follows:
Federal tax cost of investments$2,117,116,994 
Gross tax appreciation of investments$94,147 
Gross tax depreciation of investments(143,463,737)
Net tax appreciation (depreciation) of investments$(143,369,590)

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

As of March 31, 2023, the fund had accumulated short-term capital losses of $(23,821,315) and accumulated long-term capital losses of $(18,946,081), 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 may be carried forward for an unlimited period. Future capital loss carryover utilization in any given year may be subject to Internal Revenue Code limitations.

Approval of Management Agreement

At a meeting held on June 14, 2023, the Fund’s Board of Trustees (the "Board") unanimously approved the renewal of the management agreement pursuant to which American Century Investment Management, Inc. (the “Advisor”) acts as the investment advisor for the Fund. Under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Investment Company Act”), contracts for investment advisory services are required to be reviewed, evaluated, and approved by a majority of a fund’s Trustees, including a majority of the independent Trustees. The Board regards this annual evaluation and renewal as one of its most important responsibilities.

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

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

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

the nature, extent, and quality of investment management, shareholder services, distribution services, and other services provided to the Fund;
the wide range of programs and services the Advisor and other service providers provide to the Fund and its shareholders on a routine and non-routine basis;
the Fund’s investment performance compared to appropriate benchmarks and/or peer groups of other mutual funds with similar investment objectives and strategies;
the cost of owning the Fund compared to the cost of owning similarly-managed funds;
the Advisor’s compliance policies, procedures, and regulatory experience and those of certain other service providers;
the Advisor’s strategic plans, generally, and with respect to areas of heightened regulatory interest in the mutual fund industry and certain recent geopolitical and other issues;
the Advisor’s business continuity plans, vendor management practices, and information security practices;
the cost of services provided to the Fund, the profitability of the Fund to the Advisor, and the Advisor’s financial results of operation;
possible economies of scale associated with the Advisor’s management of the Fund;
any collateral benefits derived by the Advisor from the management of the Fund;
fees and expenses associated with any investment by the Fund in other funds;
payments to intermediaries by the Fund and the Advisor and services provided by intermediaries in connection therewith; and
services provided and charges to the Advisor’s other investment management clients.

In keeping with its practice, the Board held two meetings and the independent Trustees met in private session to discuss the renewal and to review and discuss the information provided in response to their request. The Board held active discussions with the Advisor regarding the renewal of the management agreement. The independent Trustees had the benefit of the advice of their independent counsel throughout the process.
25



Factors Considered

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

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services — Generally. Under the management agreement, the Advisor is responsible for providing or arranging for all services necessary for the operation of the Fund. The Board noted that the Advisor provides or arranges at its own expense a wide variety of services including but not limited to

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

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

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


26


Shareholder and Other Services. Under the management agreement, the Advisor, either directly or through affiliates or third parties, provides the Fund with a comprehensive package of transfer agency, shareholder, and other services. The Board, directly and through its various committees, regularly reviews reports and evaluations of such services at its regular meetings. These reports include, but are not limited to, information regarding the operational efficiency and accuracy of the shareholder and transfer agency services provided, staffing levels, shareholder satisfaction, technology support (including information security), new products and services offered to Fund shareholders, securities trading activities, portfolio valuation services, auditing services, and legal and operational compliance activities. The Board found the services provided by the Advisor to the Fund under the management agreement to be competitive and of high quality.

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

Ethics. The Board generally considers the Advisor’s commitment to providing quality services to shareholders and to conducting its business ethically. They 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 Fund. The Board concluded that economies of scale are difficult to measure and predict with precision, especially on a fund-by-fund basis. The Board concluded that the Advisor is appropriately sharing economies of scale, to the extent they exist, through its fee structure and through reinvestment in its business, infrastructure, investment capabilities and initiatives to provide shareholders enhanced and expanded services.

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

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

Payments to Intermediaries. The Trustees also requested and received a description of payments made to intermediaries by the Fund and the Advisor and services provided by intermediaries. These payments include various payments made by the Fund or the Advisor to different types of intermediaries and recordkeepers for distribution and service activities provided with respect to the Fund. The Trustees reviewed such information and received representations from the Advisor that all such payments by the Fund were made pursuant to the Fund’s Rule 12b-1 Plan and that all such payments by the Advisor were made from the Advisor’s resources and reasonable profits.

Collateral or “Fall-Out” Benefits Derived by the Advisor. The Board considered the possible existence of collateral benefits the Advisor may receive as a result of its relationship with the Fund. The Board noted that the Advisor’s primary business is managing 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 may receive proprietary research from broker-dealers that execute fund portfolio transactions. The Board also determined that the Advisor is able to provide investment management services to certain clients other than the Fund, at least in part, due to its existing infrastructure built to serve the fund complex. The Board also noted that the assets of those other accounts are, where applicable, included with the assets of the Fund to determine breakpoints in the management fee schedule.

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

Conclusion of the Trustees. As a result of this process, the Board, including all of the independent Trustees, taking into account all of the factors discussed above and the information provided by the Advisor and others in connection with its review and received over time, concluded that the terms of the management agreement are fair and reasonable and that the management fee charged to the Fund is reasonable in light of the services provided and that the management agreement between the Fund and the Advisor should be renewed for an additional one-year period.

Additional Information

Retirement Account Information

As required by law, distributions you receive from certain retirement accounts are subject to federal income tax withholding at the IRS default rate of 10%.* Tax will be withheld on the total amount withdrawn even though you may be receiving amounts that are not subject to withholding, such as nondeductible contributions. In such case, excess amounts of withholding could occur. You may adjust your withholding election so that a greater or lesser amount will be withheld.

You may elect a different withholding rate, or request zero withholding, by submitting an acceptable IRS Form W-4R election with your distribution request. You may notify us of your W-4R election by telephone, on our distribution forms, on IRS Form W-4R, or through other acceptable electronic means. If your withholding election is for an automatic withdrawal plan, you have the right to revoke your election at any time and any election you make will remain in effect until revoked by filing a new election.

Remember, even if you elect not to have income tax withheld, you are liable for paying income tax on the taxable portion of your withdrawal. If you elect not to have income tax withheld or you don’t have enough income tax withheld, you may be responsible for payment of estimated tax. You may incur penalties under the estimated tax rules if your withholding and estimated tax payments are not sufficient. You can reduce or defer the income tax on a distribution by directly or indirectly rolling such distribution over to another IRA or eligible plan. You should consult your tax advisor for additional information.

State tax will be withheld according to state regulations if, at the time of your distribution, your tax residency is within one of the mandatory withholding states.

*Some 403(b), 457 and qualified retirement plan distributions may be subject to 20% mandatory withholding, as they are subject to special tax and withholding rules.  Your plan administrator or plan sponsor is required to provide you with a special tax notice explaining those rules at the time you request a distribution.  If applicable, federal and/or state taxes may be withheld from your distribution amount.

President’s Letter

Dear Investor:

Thank you for reviewing this semiannual report for the period ended September 30, 2023. It provides a market overview (below), followed by a schedule of fund investments and other financial information. For additional investment insights, please visit americancentury.com.

Stocks Persevered, Bonds Struggled

Soaring Treasury yields weighed on bond returns for the six-month period. Stocks rallied in the first half of the reporting period before succumbing to the Treasury yield surge in the second half.

Investor expectations for the Federal Reserve (Fed) to conclude its rate-hike campaign helped fuel investor optimism early in the period. Inflation’s steady slowdown, tighter lending conditions and growing recession worries contributed to that outlook. Supported by better-than-expected corporate earnings, U.S. stocks rose sharply, while bonds retreated on rising Treasury yields.

With inflation still higher than central bank targets, the Fed increased interest rates a quarter point in May before pausing in June. Policymakers resumed their tightening campaign in July, raising rates to a range of 5.25% to 5.5%, a 22-year high, and paused again in September. Citing still-higher-than-target inflation and still-solid economic data, the Fed left its future policy options open, and investors digested a higher-for-longer rate outlook. Treasury yields marched higher, including the benchmark 10-year Treasury yield, which reached a 16-year high late in the period. Overall, the 10-year Treasury yield jumped from 3.47% on March 31 to 4.58% at September-end, while the two-year yield rocketed from 4.03% to 5.05%.

The first-half rally helped the S&P 500 Index overcome its second-half decline, and stocks returned 5.18% for the six-month period. Growth stocks sharply outperformed value stocks. Meanwhile, amid elevated inflation and significantly higher Treasury yields, investment-grade bonds broadly declined for the six months.

Remaining Diligent in Uncertain Times

We expect market volatility to linger as investors navigate a complex environment of persistent inflation, tighter financial conditions and recession risk. In addition, heightened geopolitical unrest complicates the global backdrop and represents another key consideration for our investment teams.

Our firm has a long history of helping clients weather unpredictable and volatile markets, and we’re determined to meet today’s challenges. Thank you for your trust and confidence in American Century Investments.

With appreciation and respect,

Shareholder Fee Example 

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

The example is based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from April 1, 2023 to September 30, 2023.

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 mutual fund, or I Class shares of the American Century Diversified Bond Fund, in an American Century Investments account (i.e., not through a financial intermediary or employer-sponsored retirement plan account), American Century Investments may charge you a $25 annual 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 $25 fee. In determining your total eligible investment amount, we will include your investments in all personal accounts (including American Century Investments brokerage accounts) registered under your Social Security number. Personal accounts include individual accounts, joint accounts, UGMA/UTMA accounts, personal trusts, Coverdell Education Savings Accounts and IRAs (including traditional, Roth, Rollover, SEP-, SARSEP- and SIMPLE-IRAs), and certain other retirement accounts. If you have only business, business retirement, employer-sponsored or American Century Investments brokerage accounts, you are currently not subject to this fee. If you are subject to the account maintenance fee, your account value could be reduced by the fee amount.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

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

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

(1)Expenses are equal to the class's annualized expense ratio listed in the table above, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 183, the number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year, divided by 366, to reflect the one-half year period. Annualized expense ratio reflects actual expenses, including any applicable fee waivers or expense reimbursements and excluding any acquired fund fees and expenses.

Notes to Financial Statements

SEPTEMBER 30, 2023 (UNAUDITED)

1. Organization

American Century Investment Trust (the trust) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company and is organized as a Massachusetts business trust. Short Duration Strategic Income Fund (the fund) is one fund in a series issued by the trust. The fund’s investment objective is to seek income. As a secondary objective, the fund seeks long-term capital appreciation.

The fund offers the Investor Class, I Class, Y Class, A Class, C Class, R Class, R5 Class and R6 Class. The A Class may incur an initial sales charge. The A Class and C Class may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

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

Investment Valuations — The fund determines the fair value of its investments and computes its net asset value (NAV) per share at the close of regular trading (usually 4 p.m. Eastern time) on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on each day the NYSE is open. The value of investments of the fund is determined by American Century Investment Management, Inc. (ACIM) (the investment advisor), as the valuation designee, pursuant to its valuation policies and procedures. The Board of Trustees oversees the valuation designee and reviews its valuation policies and procedures at least annually.

Fixed income securities are valued at the evaluated mean as provided by independent pricing services or at the mean of the most recent bid and asked prices as provided by investment dealers. Corporate bonds, U.S. Treasury and Government Agency securities, bank loan obligations, and sovereign governments and agencies are valued using market models that consider trade data, quotations from dealers and active market makers, relevant yield curve and spread data, creditworthiness, trade data or market information on comparable securities, and other relevant security specific information.  Mortgage-related and asset-backed securities are valued based on models that consider trade data, prepayment and default projections, benchmark yield and spread data and estimated cash flows of each tranche of the issuer. Collateralized loan obligations are valued based on discounted cash flow models that consider trade and economic data, prepayment assumptions and default projections. Fixed income securities initially expressed in local currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the mean of the appropriate currency exchange rate at the close of the NYSE as provided by an independent pricing service.

Equity securities that are listed or traded on a domestic securities exchange are valued at the last reported sales price or at the official closing price as provided by the exchange. Equity securities traded on foreign securities exchanges are generally valued at the closing price of such securities on the exchange where primarily traded or at the close of the NYSE, if that is earlier. If no last sales price is reported, or if local convention or regulation so provides, the mean of the latest bid and asked prices may be used. Securities traded over-the-counter are valued at the mean of the latest bid and asked prices, the last sales price, or the official closing price.

Hybrid securities are valued at the evaluated mean as provided by independent pricing services or at the mean of the most recent bid and asked prices as provided by investment dealers. Preferred stocks and convertible preferred stocks with perpetual maturities are valued using market models that consider trade data, quotations from dealers and active market makers, relevant yield curve and spread data, creditworthiness, trade data or market information on comparable securities, and other relevant security specific information.
20


Open-end management investment companies are valued at the reported NAV per share. Repurchase agreements are valued at cost, which approximates fair value. Exchange-traded futures contracts are valued at the settlement price as provided by the appropriate exchange. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are valued at the mean of the appropriate forward exchange rate at the close of the NYSE as provided by an independent pricing service.

If the valuation designee determines that the market price for a portfolio security is not readily available or is believed by the valuation designee to be unreliable, such security is valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the valuation designee, in accordance with its policies and procedures. Circumstances that may cause the fund to determine that market quotations are not available or reliable include, but are not limited to: when there is a significant event subsequent to the market quotation; trading in a security has been halted during the trading day; or trading in a security is insufficient or did not take place due to a closure or holiday.

The valuation designee monitors for significant events occurring after the close of an investment’s primary exchange but before the fund’s NAV per share is determined. Significant events may include, but are not limited to: corporate announcements and transactions; regulatory news, governmental action and political unrest that could impact a specific investment or an investment sector; or armed conflicts, natural disasters and similar events that could affect investments in a specific country or region. The valuation designee also monitors for significant fluctuations between domestic and foreign markets, as evidenced by the U.S. market or such other indicators that it deems appropriate. The valuation designee may apply a model-derived factor to the closing price of equity securities traded on foreign securities exchanges. The factor is based on observable market data as provided by an independent pricing service.

Security Transactions — Security transactions are accounted for as of the trade date. Net realized gains and losses are determined on the identified cost basis, which is also used for federal income tax purposes.

Investment Income — Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis and includes paydown gain (loss) and accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums. Inflation adjustments related to inflation-linked debt securities are reflected as interest income.

Foreign Currency Translations — All assets and liabilities initially expressed in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at prevailing exchange rates at period end. The fund may enter into spot foreign currency exchange contracts to facilitate transactions denominated in a foreign currency. Purchases and sales of investment securities, dividend and interest income, spot foreign currency exchange contracts, and expenses are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. Net realized and unrealized foreign currency exchange gains or losses related to investment securities are a component of net realized gain (loss) on investment transactions and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments, respectively.

Repurchase Agreements — The fund may enter into repurchase agreements with institutions that ACIM has determined are creditworthy pursuant to criteria adopted by the Board of Trustees. The fund requires that the collateral, represented by securities, received in a repurchase transaction be transferred to the custodian in a manner sufficient to enable the fund to obtain those securities in the event of a default under the repurchase agreement. ACIM monitors, on a daily basis, the securities transferred to ensure the value, including accrued interest, of the securities under each repurchase agreement is equal to or greater than amounts owed to the fund under each repurchase agreement.

Joint Trading Account — Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the fund, along with certain other funds in the American Century Investments family of funds, may transfer uninvested cash balances into a joint trading account. These balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Agency obligations.

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

21


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

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

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

3. Fees and Transactions with Related Parties

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

Management Fees — The trust has entered into a management agreement with ACIM, under which ACIM provides the fund with investment advisory and management services in exchange for a single, unified management fee (the fee) per class. The agreement provides that ACIM will pay all expenses of managing and operating the fund, except brokerage expenses, taxes, interest, fees and expenses of the independent trustees (including legal counsel fees), extraordinary expenses, 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. The fee is computed and accrued daily based on each class's daily net assets and paid monthly in arrears. The difference in the fee among the classes is a result of their separate arrangements for non-Rule 12b-1 shareholder services. It is not the result of any difference in advisory or custodial fees or other expenses related to the management of the fund’s assets, which do not vary by class.

The annual management fee for each class is as follows:
Investor ClassI ClassY ClassA ClassC ClassR ClassR5 ClassR6 Class
0.51%0.41%0.31%0.51%0.51%0.51%0.31%0.26%

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, C Class and R Class (collectively the plans), pursuant to Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act. The plans provide that the A Class will pay ACIS an annual distribution and service fee of 0.25%. The plans provide that the C Class will pay ACIS an annual distribution and service fee of 1.00%, of which 0.25% is paid for individual shareholder services and 0.75% is paid for distribution services. The plans provide that the R Class will pay ACIS an annual distribution and service fee of 0.50%. 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 period ended September 30, 2023 are detailed in the Statement of Operations.

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

Other Expenses — A fund’s other expenses may include interest charges, clearing exchange fees, proxy solicitation expenses, fees associated with the recovery of foreign tax reclaims and other miscellaneous expenses.

22


Interfund Transactions — The fund may enter into security transactions with other American Century Investments funds and other client accounts of the investment advisor, in accordance with the 1940 Act rules and procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. The rules and procedures require, among other things, that these transactions be effected at the independent current market price of the security. There were no interfund transactions during the period.

4. Investment Transactions

Purchases of investment securities, excluding short-term investments, for the period ended September 30, 2023 totaled $635,708,474, of which $375,708,593 represented U.S. Treasury and Government Agency obligations.

Sales of investment securities, excluding short-term investments, for the period ended September 30, 2023 totaled $868,671,070, of which $470,885,047 represented U.S. Treasury and Government Agency obligations.

6. Fair Value Measurements

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

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

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

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

The level classification is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair valuation measurement. The valuation inputs are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in these securities or other financial instruments.

The following is a summary of the level classifications as of period end. The Schedule of Investments provides additional information on the fund's portfolio holdings.

7. Derivative Instruments

Foreign Currency Risk — The fund is subject to foreign currency exchange rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The value of foreign investments held by a fund may be significantly affected by changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The dollar value of a foreign security generally decreases when the value of the dollar rises against the foreign currency in which the security is denominated and tends to increase when the value of the dollar declines against such foreign currency. A fund may enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts to reduce a fund's exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations or to gain exposure to the fluctuations in the value of foreign currencies. A fund will segregate cash, cash equivalents or other appropriate liquid securities on its records in amounts sufficient to meet requirements. The net U.S. dollar value of foreign currency underlying all contractual commitments held by a fund and the resulting unrealized appreciation or depreciation are determined daily. Realized gain or loss is recorded upon settlement of the contract. Net realized and unrealized gains or losses occurring during the holding period of forward foreign currency exchange contracts are a component of net realized gain (loss) on forward foreign currency exchange contract transactions and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on forward foreign currency exchange contracts, respectively. A fund bears the risk of an unfavorable change in the foreign currency exchange rate underlying the forward contract. Additionally, losses, up to the fair value, may arise if the counterparties do not perform under the contract terms. The fund's average U.S. dollar exposure to foreign currency risk derivative instruments held during the period was $3,058,237.

Interest Rate Risk — The fund is subject to interest rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The value of bonds generally declines as interest rates rise. A fund may enter into futures contracts based on a bond index or a specific underlying security. A fund may purchase futures contracts to gain exposure to increases in market value or sell futures contracts to protect against a decline in market value. Upon entering into a futures contract, a fund will segregate cash, cash equivalents or other appropriate liquid securities on its records in amounts sufficient to meet requirements. A fund may incur charges or earn income on cash deposit balances, which are reflected in interest expenses or interest income, respectively. Subsequent payments (variation margin) are made or received daily, in cash, by a fund. The variation margin is equal to the daily change in the contract value and is recorded as unrealized gains and losses. A fund recognizes a realized gain or loss when the futures contract is closed or expires. Net realized and unrealized gains or losses occurring during the holding period of futures contracts are a component of net realized gain (loss) on futures contract transactions and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on futures contracts, respectively. One of the risks of entering into futures contracts is the possibility that the change in value of the contract may not correlate with the changes in value of the underlying securities. The fund's average notional exposure to interest rate risk derivative instruments held during the period was $236,576,390 futures contracts purchased and $34,451,016 futures contracts sold.

8. Risk Factors

The value of the fund’s shares will go up and down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably, based on the performance of the securities owned by the fund 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.

The fund invests in lower-rated debt securities, which are subject to substantial risks including liquidity risk and credit risk.

The fund may invest in instruments that have variable or floating coupon rates based on the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR). LIBOR is a benchmark interest rate intended to be representative of the rate at which certain major international banks lend to one another over short-terms. Financial institutions have started the process of phasing out LIBOR and the transition process to a replacement rate may lead to increased volatility or illiquidity in markets for instruments that rely on LIBOR. This could result in a change to the value of such instruments or a change in the cost of temporary borrowing for the fund.

There are certain risks involved in investing in foreign securities. These risks include those resulting from political events (such as civil unrest, national elections and imposition of exchange controls), social and economic events (such as labor strikes and rising inflation), and natural disasters. Securities of foreign issuers may be less liquid and more volatile. Investing in emerging markets or a significant portion of assets in one country or region may accentuate these risks.

The fund's investment process may result in high portfolio turnover, which could mean high transaction costs, affecting both performance and capital gains tax liabilities to investors.

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 period end, the components of investments for federal income tax purposes were as follows:
Federal tax cost of investments$646,331,882 
Gross tax appreciation of investments$962,948 
Gross tax depreciation of investments(15,740,476)
Net tax appreciation (depreciation) of investments$(14,777,528)

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

As of March 31, 2023, the fund had accumulated short-term capital losses of $(27,074,018) and accumulated long-term capital losses of $(14,869,794), 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 may be carried forward for an unlimited period. Future capital loss carryover utilization in any given year may be subject to Internal Revenue Code limitations.

Approval of Management Agreement

At a meeting held on June 14, 2023, the Fund’s Board of Trustees (the "Board") unanimously approved the renewal of the management agreement pursuant to which American Century Investment Management, Inc. (the “Advisor”) acts as the investment advisor for the Fund. Under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Investment Company Act”), contracts for investment advisory services are required to be reviewed, evaluated, and approved by a majority of a fund’s Trustees, including a majority of the independent Trustees. The Board regards this annual evaluation and renewal as one of its most important responsibilities.

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

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

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

the nature, extent, and quality of investment management, shareholder services, distribution services, and other services provided to the Fund;
the wide range of programs and services the Advisor and other service providers provide to the Fund and its shareholders on a routine and non-routine basis;
the Fund’s investment performance compared to appropriate benchmarks and/or peer groups of other mutual funds with similar investment objectives and strategies;
the cost of owning the Fund compared to the cost of owning similarly-managed funds;
the Advisor’s compliance policies, procedures, and regulatory experience and those of certain other service providers;
the Advisor’s strategic plans, generally, and with respect to areas of heightened regulatory interest in the mutual fund industry and certain recent geopolitical and other issues;
the Advisor’s business continuity plans, vendor management practices, and information security practices;
the cost of services provided to the Fund, the profitability of the Fund to the Advisor, and the Advisor’s financial results of operation;
possible economies of scale associated with the Advisor’s management of the Fund;
any collateral benefits derived by the Advisor from the management of the Fund;
fees and expenses associated with any investment by the Fund in other funds;
payments to intermediaries by the Fund and the Advisor and services provided by intermediaries in connection therewith; and
services provided and charges to the Advisor’s other investment management clients.

In keeping with its practice, the Board held two meetings and the independent Trustees met in private session to discuss the renewal and to review and discuss the information provided in response to their request. The Board held active discussions with the Advisor regarding the renewal of the management agreement. The independent Trustees had the benefit of the advice of their independent counsel throughout the process.
33


Factors Considered

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

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services — Generally. Under the management agreement, the Advisor is responsible for providing or arranging for all services necessary for the operation of the Fund. The Board noted that the Advisor provides or arranges at its own expense a wide variety of services including but not limited to

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

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

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




34


Shareholder and Other Services. Under the management agreement, the Advisor, either directly or through affiliates or third parties, provides the Fund with a comprehensive package of transfer agency, shareholder, and other services. The Board, directly and through its various committees, regularly reviews reports and evaluations of such services at its regular meetings. These reports include, but are not limited to, information regarding the operational efficiency and accuracy of the shareholder and transfer agency services provided, staffing levels, shareholder satisfaction, technology support (including information security), new products and services offered to Fund shareholders, securities trading activities, portfolio valuation services, auditing services, and legal and operational compliance activities. The Board found the services provided by the Advisor to the Fund under the management agreement to be competitive and of high quality.

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

Ethics. The Board generally considers the Advisor’s commitment to providing quality services to shareholders and to conducting its business ethically. They 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 Fund. The Board concluded that economies of scale are difficult to measure and predict with precision, especially on a fund-by-fund basis. The Board concluded that the Advisor is appropriately sharing economies of scale, to the extent they exist, through its fee structure and through reinvestment in its business, infrastructure, investment capabilities and initiatives to provide shareholders enhanced and expanded services.

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


35


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

Payments to Intermediaries. The Trustees also requested and received a description of payments made to intermediaries by the Fund and the Advisor and services provided by intermediaries. These payments include various payments made by the Fund or the Advisor to different types of intermediaries and recordkeepers for distribution and service activities provided with respect to the Fund. The Trustees reviewed such information and received representations from the Advisor that all such payments by the Fund were made pursuant to the Fund’s Rule 12b-1 Plan and that all such payments by the Advisor were made from the Advisor’s resources and reasonable profits.

Collateral or “Fall-Out” Benefits Derived by the Advisor. The Board considered the possible existence of collateral benefits the Advisor may receive as a result of its relationship with the Fund. The Board noted that the Advisor’s primary business is managing 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 may receive proprietary research from broker-dealers that execute fund portfolio transactions. The Board also determined that the Advisor is able to provide investment management services to certain clients other than the Fund, at least in part, due to its existing infrastructure built to serve the fund complex.

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

Conclusion of the Trustees. As a result of this process, the Board, including all of the independent Trustees, taking into account all of the factors discussed above and the information provided by the Advisor and others in connection with its review and received over time, concluded that the terms of the management agreement are fair and reasonable and that the management fee charged to the Fund is reasonable in light of the services provided and that the management agreement between the Fund and the Advisor should be renewed for an additional one-year period.

Additional Information

Retirement Account Information

As required by law, distributions you receive from certain retirement accounts are subject to federal income tax withholding at the IRS default rate of 10%.* Tax will be withheld on the total amount withdrawn even though you may be receiving amounts that are not subject to withholding, such as nondeductible contributions. In such case, excess amounts of withholding could occur. You may adjust your withholding election so that a greater or lesser amount will be withheld.

You may elect a different withholding rate, or request zero withholding, by submitting an acceptable IRS Form W-4R election with your distribution request. You may notify us of your W-4R election by telephone, on our distribution forms, on IRS Form W-4R, or through other acceptable electronic means. If your withholding election is for an automatic withdrawal plan, you have the right to revoke your election at any time and any election you make will remain in effect until revoked by filing a new election.

Remember, even if you elect not to have income tax withheld, you are liable for paying income tax on the taxable portion of your withdrawal. If you elect not to have income tax withheld or you don’t have enough income tax withheld, you may be responsible for payment of estimated tax. You may incur penalties under the estimated tax rules if your withholding and estimated tax payments are not sufficient. You can reduce or defer the income tax on a distribution by directly or indirectly rolling such distribution over to another IRA or eligible plan. You should consult your tax advisor for additional information.

State tax will be withheld according to state regulations if, at the time of your distribution, your tax residency is within one of the mandatory withholding states.

*Some 403(b), 457 and qualified retirement plan distributions may be subject to 20% mandatory withholding, as they are subject to special tax and withholding rules.  Your plan administrator or plan sponsor is required to provide you with a special tax notice explaining those rules at the time you request a distribution.  If applicable, federal and/or state taxes may be withheld from your distribution amount.

Dear Investor:

Thank you for reviewing this semiannual report for the period ended September 30, 2023. It provides a market overview (below), followed by a schedule of fund investments and other financial information. For additional investment insights, please visit americancentury.com.

Stocks Persevered, Bonds Struggled

Soaring Treasury yields weighed on bond returns for the six-month period. Stocks rallied in the first half of the reporting period before succumbing to the Treasury yield surge in the second half.

Investor expectations for the Federal Reserve (Fed) to conclude its rate-hike campaign helped fuel investor optimism early in the period. Inflation’s steady slowdown, tighter lending conditions and growing recession worries contributed to that outlook. Supported by better-than-expected corporate earnings, U.S. stocks rose sharply, while bonds retreated on rising Treasury yields.

With inflation still higher than central bank targets, the Fed increased interest rates a quarter point in May before pausing in June. Policymakers resumed their tightening campaign in July, raising rates to a range of 5.25% to 5.5%, a 22-year high, and paused again in September. Citing still-higher-than-target inflation and still-solid economic data, the Fed left its future policy options open, and investors digested a higher-for-longer rate outlook. Treasury yields marched higher, including the benchmark 10-year Treasury yield, which reached a 16-year high late in the period. Overall, the 10-year Treasury yield jumped from 3.47% on March 31 to 4.58% at September-end, while the two-year yield rocketed from 4.03% to 5.05%.

The first-half rally helped the S&P 500 Index overcome its second-half decline, and stocks returned 5.18% for the six-month period. Growth stocks sharply outperformed value stocks. Meanwhile, amid elevated inflation and significantly higher Treasury yields, investment-grade bonds broadly declined for the six months.

Remaining Diligent in Uncertain Times

We expect market volatility to linger as investors navigate a complex environment of persistent inflation, tighter financial conditions and recession risk. In addition, heightened geopolitical unrest complicates the global backdrop and represents another key consideration for our investment teams.

Our firm has a long history of helping clients weather unpredictable and volatile markets, and we’re determined to meet today’s challenges. Thank you for your trust and confidence in American Century Investments.

With appreciation and respect,

Shareholder Fee Example

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

The example is based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from April 1, 2023 to September 30, 2023.

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 mutual fund, or I Class shares of the American Century Diversified Bond Fund, in an American Century Investments account (i.e., not through a financial intermediary or employer-sponsored retirement plan account), American Century Investments may charge you a $25 annual 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 $25 fee. In determining your total eligible investment amount, we will include your investments in all personal accounts (including American Century Investments brokerage accounts) registered under your Social Security number. Personal accounts include individual accounts, joint accounts, UGMA/UTMA accounts, personal trusts, Coverdell Education Savings Accounts and IRAs (including traditional, Roth, Rollover, SEP-, SARSEP- and SIMPLE-IRAs), and certain other retirement accounts. If you have only business, business retirement, employer-sponsored or American Century Investments brokerage accounts, you are currently not subject to this fee. If you are subject to the account maintenance fee, your account value could be reduced by the fee amount.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

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

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

Notes to Financial Statements

SEPTEMBER 30, 2023 (UNAUDITED)

1. Organization

American Century Investment Trust (the trust) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company and is organized as a Massachusetts business trust. U.S. Government Money Market Fund (the fund) is one fund in a series issued by the trust. The fund’s investment objective is to seek current income while maintaining liquidity and preserving capital.

The fund offers the Investor Class, A Class and C Class. The A Class and C Class may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge. On January 13, 2023, there were no outstanding G Class shares and the fund discontinued offering G Class.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

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

Investment Valuations — The fund determines the fair value of its investments and computes its net asset value (NAV) per share at the close of regular trading (usually 4 p.m. Eastern time) on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on each day the NYSE is open. The value of investments of the fund is determined by American Century Investment Management, Inc. (ACIM) (the investment advisor), as the valuation designee, pursuant to its valuation policies and procedures. The Board of Trustees oversees the valuation designee and reviews its valuation policies and procedures at least annually. Investments are generally valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. Repurchase agreements are valued at cost, which approximates fair value. If the valuation designee determines that the valuation methods do not reflect an investment’s fair value, such investment is valued as determined in good faith by the valuation designee.

Security Transactions — Security transactions are accounted for as of the trade date. Net realized gains and losses are determined on the identified cost basis, which is also used for federal income tax purposes.

Investment Income — Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis and includes accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums. The fund may purchase a security and at the same time make a commitment to sell the same security at a future settlement date at a specified price. The difference between the purchase price and the sale price of these simultaneous transactions is reflected as interest income.

Repurchase Agreements — The fund may enter into repurchase agreements with institutions that ACIM has determined are creditworthy pursuant to criteria adopted by the Board of Trustees. The fund requires that the collateral, represented by securities, received in a repurchase transaction be transferred to the custodian in a manner sufficient to enable the fund to obtain those securities in the event of a default under the repurchase agreement. ACIM monitors, on a daily basis, the securities transferred to ensure the value, including accrued interest, of the securities under each repurchase agreement is equal to or greater than amounts owed to the fund under each repurchase agreement.

Joint Trading Account — Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the fund, along with certain other funds in the American Century Investments family of funds, may transfer uninvested cash balances into a joint trading account. These balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Agency obligations.

12


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

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

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

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

3. Fees and Transactions with Related Parties

Certain officers and trustees of the trust are also officers and/or directors of American Century Companies, Inc. (ACC). The trust's investment advisor, ACIM, the trust's distributor, American Century Investment Services, Inc. (ACIS), and the trust's transfer agent, American Century Services, LLC, are wholly owned, directly or indirectly, by ACC. ACC and its subsidiaries own 41% of the shares of the fund. Related parties do not invest in the fund for the purpose of exercising management or control.

Management Fees — The trust has entered into a management agreement with ACIM, under which ACIM provides the fund with investment advisory and management services in exchange for a single, unified management fee (the fee) per class. The agreement provides that ACIM will pay all expenses of managing and operating the fund, except brokerage expenses, taxes, interest, fees and expenses of the independent trustees (including legal counsel fees), extraordinary expenses, 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. The fee is computed and accrued daily based on each class’s daily net assets and paid monthly in arrears. The fee consists of (1) an Investment Category Fee based on the daily net assets of the fund and certain other accounts managed by the investment advisor that are in the same broad investment category as the fund and (2) a Complex Fee based on the assets of all funds in the American Century Investments family of funds that have the same investment advisor and distributor as the fund. For purposes of determining the Investment Category Fee and Complex Fee, the assets of funds managed by the investment advisor that invest exclusively in the shares of other funds (funds of funds) are not included. The rates for the Investment Category Fee range from 0.1170% to 0.2300% and the rates for the Complex Fee range from 0.2500% to 0.3100%. The effective annual management fee for each class for the period ended September 30, 2023 was 0.45%.

Distribution and Service Fees — The Board of Trustees has adopted a separate Master Distribution and Individual Shareholder Services Plan for each of the A Class and C Class (collectively the plans), pursuant to Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act. The plans provide that the A Class will pay ACIS an annual distribution and service fee of 0.25%. The plans provide that the C Class will pay ACIS an annual distribution and service fee of 0.75%, of which 0.25% is paid for individual shareholder services and 0.50% is paid for distribution services. The fees are computed and accrued daily based on each class’s daily net assets and paid monthly in arrears. The fees are used to pay financial intermediaries for distribution and individual shareholder services. Fees incurred under the plans during the period ended September 30, 2023 are detailed in the Statement of Operations.

13


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

5. Fair Value Measurements

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

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

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

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

The level classification is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair valuation measurement. The valuation inputs are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in these securities or other financial instruments.

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

6. 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 March 31, 2023, the fund had accumulated short-term capital losses of $(185,588) and accumulated long-term capital losses of $(4,614), 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 may be carried forward for an unlimited period. Future capital loss carryover utilization in any given year may be subject to Internal Revenue Code limitations.

Approval of Management Agreement

At a meeting held on June 14, 2023, the Fund’s Board of Trustees (the "Board") unanimously approved the renewal of the management agreement pursuant to which American Century Investment Management, Inc. (the “Advisor”) acts as the investment advisor for the Fund. Under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Investment Company Act”), contracts for investment advisory services are required to be reviewed, evaluated, and approved by a majority of a fund’s Trustees, including a majority of the independent Trustees. The Board regards this annual evaluation and renewal as one of its most important responsibilities.

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

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

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

the nature, extent, and quality of investment management, shareholder services, distribution services, and other services provided to the Fund;
the wide range of programs and services the Advisor and other service providers provide to the Fund and its shareholders on a routine and non-routine basis;
the Fund’s investment performance compared to appropriate benchmarks and/or peer groups of other mutual funds with similar investment objectives and strategies;
the cost of owning the Fund compared to the cost of owning similarly-managed funds;
the Advisor’s compliance policies, procedures, and regulatory experience and those of certain other service providers;
the Advisor’s strategic plans, generally, and with respect to areas of heightened regulatory interest in the mutual fund industry and certain recent geopolitical and other issues;
the Advisor’s business continuity plans, vendor management practices, and information security practices;
the cost of services provided to the Fund, the profitability of the Fund to the Advisor, and the Advisor’s financial results of operation;
possible economies of scale associated with the Advisor’s management of the Fund;
any collateral benefits derived by the Advisor from the management of the Fund;
fees and expenses associated with any investment by the Fund in other funds;
payments to intermediaries by the Fund and the Advisor and services provided by intermediaries in connection therewith; and
services provided and charges to the Advisor’s other investment management clients.

In keeping with its practice, the Board held two meetings and the independent Trustees met in private session to discuss the renewal and to review and discuss the information provided in response to their request. The Board held active discussions with the Advisor regarding the renewal of the management agreement. The independent Trustees had the benefit of the advice of their independent counsel throughout the process.
18



Factors Considered

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

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services — Generally. Under the management agreement, the Advisor is responsible for providing or arranging for all services necessary for the operation of the Fund. The Board noted that the Advisor provides or arranges at its own expense a wide variety of services including but not limited to

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

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

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


19


Shareholder and Other Services. Under the management agreement, the Advisor, either directly or through affiliates or third parties, provides the Fund with a comprehensive package of transfer agency, shareholder, and other services. The Board, directly and through its various committees, regularly reviews reports and evaluations of such services at its regular meetings. These reports include, but are not limited to, information regarding the operational efficiency and accuracy of the shareholder and transfer agency services provided, staffing levels, shareholder satisfaction, technology support (including information security), new products and services offered to Fund shareholders, securities trading activities, portfolio valuation services, auditing services, and legal and operational compliance activities. The Board found the services provided by the Advisor to the Fund under the management agreement to be competitive and of high quality.

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

Ethics. The Board generally considers the Advisor’s commitment to providing quality services to shareholders and to conducting its business ethically. They 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 Fund. The Board concluded that economies of scale are difficult to measure and predict with precision, especially on a fund-by-fund basis. The Board concluded that the Advisor is appropriately sharing economies of scale, to the extent they exist, through its fee structure and through reinvestment in its business, infrastructure, investment capabilities and initiatives to provide shareholders enhanced and expanded services.

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


20


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

Payments to Intermediaries. The Trustees also requested and received a description of payments made to intermediaries by the Fund and the Advisor and services provided by intermediaries. These payments include various payments made by the Fund or the Advisor to different types of intermediaries and recordkeepers for distribution and service activities provided with respect to the Fund. The Trustees reviewed such information and received representations from the Advisor that all such payments by the Fund were made pursuant to the Fund’s Rule 12b-1 Plan and that all such payments by the Advisor were made from the Advisor’s resources and reasonable profits.

Collateral or “Fall-Out” Benefits Derived by the Advisor. The Board considered the possible existence of collateral benefits the Advisor may receive as a result of its relationship with the Fund. The Board noted that the Advisor’s primary business is managing 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 may receive proprietary research from broker-dealers that execute fund portfolio transactions. The Board also determined that the Advisor is able to provide investment management services to certain clients other than the Fund, at least in part, due to its existing infrastructure built to serve the fund complex. The Board also noted that the assets of those other accounts are, where applicable, included with the assets of the Fund to determine breakpoints in the management fee schedule.

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

Conclusion of the Trustees. As a result of this process, the Board, including all of the independent Trustees, taking into account all of the factors discussed above and the information provided by the Advisor and others in connection with its review and received over time, concluded that the terms of the management agreement are fair and reasonable and that the management fee charged to the Fund is reasonable in light of the services provided and that the management agreement between the Fund and the Advisor should be renewed for an additional one-year period.

Additional Information

Retirement Account Information

As required by law, distributions you receive from certain retirement accounts are subject to federal income tax withholding at the IRS default rate of 10%.* Tax will be withheld on the total amount withdrawn even though you may be receiving amounts that are not subject to withholding, such as nondeductible contributions. In such case, excess amounts of withholding could occur. You may adjust your withholding election so that a greater or lesser amount will be withheld.

You may elect a different withholding rate, or request zero withholding, by submitting an acceptable IRS Form W-4R election with your distribution request. You may notify us of your W-4R election by telephone, on our distribution forms, on IRS Form W-4R, or through other acceptable electronic means. If your withholding election is for an automatic withdrawal plan, you have the right to revoke your election at any time and any election you make will remain in effect until revoked by filing a new election.

Remember, even if you elect not to have income tax withheld, you are liable for paying income tax on the taxable portion of your withdrawal. If you elect not to have income tax withheld or you don’t have enough income tax withheld, you may be responsible for payment of estimated tax. You may incur penalties under the estimated tax rules if your withholding and estimated tax payments are not sufficient. You can reduce or defer the income tax on a distribution by directly or indirectly rolling such distribution over to another IRA or eligible plan. You should consult your tax advisor for additional information.

State tax will be withheld according to state regulations if, at the time of your distribution, your tax residency is within one of the mandatory withholding states.

*Some 403(b), 457 and qualified retirement plan distributions may be subject to 20% mandatory withholding, as they are subject to special tax and withholding rules.  Your plan administrator or plan sponsor is required to provide you with a special tax notice explaining those rules at the time you request a distribution.  If applicable, federal and/or state taxes may be withheld from your distribution amount.
