Dear Shareholder,
I would like to invite you to an upcoming special meeting of shareholders to be
held on June 27, 2007 at 10:30 a.m. Shareholders of American Century's fixed
income and quantitative equity funds are being asked to vote on the election of
Trustees/Directors to the funds' Boards of Trustees/Directors. In addition,
holders of Advisor Class shares of certain funds will be asked to approve a
change in the Advisor Class fee structure. More detailed information is
contained in the enclosed materials. The Boards of Trustees/Directors of these
funds, including all of the Independent Trustees/Directors, unanimously approved
and recommend that you vote FOR the proposals.
The proposal to change the Advisor Class fee structure is part of a larger set
of initiatives designed to streamline American Century's mutual fund offerings
and better align them with investor buying preferences and market opportunities.
If these additional initiatives apply to your fund, they will be presented for
your consideration and approval in a separate set of proxy materials.
Your vote is extremely important, no matter how large or small your holdings.
Please review the enclosed materials and vote online, by phone, or by signing
and returning your proxy card(s) in the enclosed postage-paid envelope. If we do
not hear from you after a reasonable time, you may receive a call from our proxy
solicitor, Automatic Data Processing, Inc. (ADP), reminding you to vote. If you
have any questions or need assistance in completing your proxy card(s), please
contact ADP at 1-877-256-6083.
Thank you for investing with American Century Investments.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Q. WHEN WILL THE SPECIAL MEETING BE HELD? WHO CAN VOTE?
A. The special meeting will be held on Wednesday, June 27, 2007, at 10:30
a.m. Central Time at American Century's office at 4500 Main Street, Kansas
City, Missouri. Please note, this will be a business meeting only. No
presentations about the funds are planned. If you owned shares of one of
the impacted funds at the close of business on April 13, 2007, you are
entitled to vote, even if you later sold the shares. Each shareholder is
entitled to one vote per dollar of shares owned, with fractional dollars
voting proportionally.
Q. WHO ARE THE EIGHT NOMINEES?
A. The eight Nominees include six current members of the Boards of
Trustees/Directors (the "Boards"), John Freidenrich, Ronald J. Gilson,
Kathryn A. Hall, Myron S. Scholes, John B. Shoven and Jeanne D. Wohlers; an
advisory member to the Boards, Peter F. Pervere; and the current President
and Chief Executive Officer of American Century Companies, Inc., and an
advisory member to the Boards, Jonathan S. Thomas.

Q. WHAT IS THE PROPOSED CHANGE TO THE ADVISOR CLASS FEE STRUCTURE?
A. If approved, the change in the Advisor Class fee structure will result
in:
* A decrease of 25 basis points (0.25%) in the Rule 12b-1 fee charged by
the Advisor Class of the Advisor Funds; and
* A simultaneous increase of 25 basis points in the unified management fee
for the Advisor Class of the Advisor Funds, resulting in no change to
the total expense ratio.
The decrease in the Rule 12b-1 fee and corresponding increase in the unified
management fee are designed to move the fee for the provision of certain
recordkeeping/administrative services from the Rule 12b-1 fee to the unified
management fee. This modification will make the fee structure of the Advisor
Class shares of the Advisor Funds more consistent with the other share classes
of the American Century Funds.
Q. HOW WILL THE CHANGE TO THE ADVISOR CLASS FEE STRUCTURE AFFECT MY
INVESTMENTS IN THE FUNDS?
A. If approved, neither your investment nor your total expense ratio will
change. As stated above, if approved, the proposal will result in the
Advisor Class having a 25 basis point decrease in the Rule 12b-1 fee and
simultaneous 25 basis point increase in its unified management fee,
resulting in no change to the Advisor Class's total expense ratio.
Q. WILL THE CHANGE TO THE ADVISOR CLASS FEE STRUCTURE CAUSE ME TO PAY ANY
SALES CHARGES?
A. No. If the Advisor Class fee change is approved, it is anticipated
that a front-end sales charge (load) will be added to the Advisor Class
shares of International Bond, Diversified Bond, High-Yield, Prime Money
Market, Disciplined Growth, Equity Growth, Global Gold, and Income &
Growth. However, it will not apply to Advisor Fund shares held at the time
of the change or subsequently purchased in the same accounts.
Q. HOW DO THE BOARDS OF EACH FUND RECOMMEND THAT I VOTE?
A. The Boards, including all of the Independent Trustees/Directors,
unanimously recommend you vote FOR all of the proposals. For a discussion
of the factors the Boards considered in approving these proposals, see the
accompanying materials.
Q. MY HOLDINGS IN THE FUNDS ARE SMALL, WHY SHOULD I VOTE?
A. Your vote makes a difference. If many shareholders do not vote their
proxies, your fund may not receive enough votes to go forward with its
special meeting. This means additional costs will be incurred to solicit
votes to determine the outcome of the proposals.
Q. WHAT HAPPENS IF ANY ONE OF THE PROPOSALS IS NOT APPROVED BY
SHAREHOLDERS?
A. Each proposal is separate, and is not dependent upon the approval of
any other proposal. However, if a proposal relating to the change in the
Advisor Class fee structure does not receive shareholder approval with
respect to one or more Advisor Funds, then American Century may elect not
to proceed with the change for any of the Advisor Funds.
Q. WHY ARE MULTIPLE PROXY CARDS ENCLOSED?
A. You will receive a proxy card for each of the funds in which you are a
shareholder. In addition, if you own shares of the same fund in multiple
accounts that are titled differently, you will receive a proxy card for
each account.
Q. HOW DO I CAST MY VOTE?
A. You may vote online, by phone, by mail, by fax or in person at the
special meeting. To vote online, access the Web site listed on a proxy
card. To vote by telephone, call the toll-free number listed on a proxy
card. To vote online or by telephone, you will need the number that appears
in the gray box on each of your proxy cards. To vote by mail, complete,
sign and send us the enclosed proxy card(s) in the enclosed postage-paid
envelope. To vote by fax, complete and sign the proxy card(s) and fax both
sides to the toll-free number listed on a proxy card. You also may vote in
person at the special meeting on Wednesday, June 27, 2007. If you need more
information or have any questions on how to cast your vote, call our proxy
solicitor at 1-877-256-6083.
YOUR VOTE IS IMPORTANT. PLEASE VOTE TODAY AND AVOID THE NEED FOR ADDITIONAL
SOLICITATION EXPENSES.

required to send a new notice to shareholders of American Century Quantitative

adjournment of the Meeting for the further solicitation of proxies for a
Proposal will require the affirmative vote of a majority of the total number of
shares of the relevant Issuer or class, as applicable, that are present in
person or by proxy at the Meeting to be adjourned. The persons named as proxies
will vote those proxies they are entitled to vote in their discretion as to any
such adjournment. A shareholder vote may be taken on any Proposal on which there
is a quorum present prior to such adjournment. Such vote will be considered
final regardless of whether the Meeting is adjourned to permit additional

Shareholders of record on the Record Date are entitled to notice of and to vote
at the Meeting and are entitled to vote at any adjournments or postponements
thereof. Shareholders of each Issuer will vote separately on Proposal 1. Holders
of Advisor Class shares of each of the Advisor Funds will vote separately on
Proposal 2.
The Boards recommend that you vote "FOR" each Proposal.
NOTE APPLICABLE ONLY TO AMERICAN CENTURY VARIABLE PORTFOLIOS II, INC.:
Shares of VP Inflation Protection, a series of American Century Variable
Portfolios II, Inc., are sold only to separate accounts of certain insurance
companies in connection with the issuance of variable annuity contracts and/or
variable life insurance contracts by the insurance companies. With respect to
Proposal 1, to elect eight directors of American Century Variable Portfolios II,
Inc., insurance company separate accounts, as shareholders of VP Inflation
Protection, will request voting instructions from the owners of variable life
insurance policies and variable annuity contacts ("Variable Contract Owners") of
the separate accounts, and will vote the accounts' shares in the Fund in
accordance with the voting instructions received. Each separate account is
required to vote its shares of the Fund in accordance with instructions received
from Variable Contract Owners. Each separate account will vote shares of the
Fund held in each of its respective variable accounts for which no voting
instructions have been received in the same proportion as the separate account
votes shares held by variable accounts for which it has received instructions.
Shares held by an insurance company in its general account, if any, must be
voted in the same proportions as the votes cast with respect to shares held in
all of the insurance company's variable accounts in the aggregate. Such
proportional voting may result in a relatively small number of Variable Contract
Owners determining the outcome of the Proposal. Proposal 1 is the only proposal
described in this Proxy Statement that relates to American Century Variable
Portfolios II, Inc.
The Boards recommend that you vote "FOR" each Proposal.

PROPOSAL 1
ELECTION OF TRUSTEES/DIRECTORS
OVERVIEW AND RELATED INFORMATION
The Board of Trustees/Directors of each Issuer currently includes the following
six (6) Trustees/Directors: John Freidenrich, Ronald J. Gilson, Kathryn A. Hall,
Myron S. Scholes, John B. Shoven and Jeanne D. Wohlers. Additionally, Peter F.
Pervere and Jonathan S. Thomas currently serve as advisory members to the
Boards. The current nominating members of the Boards have nominated the six
Trustees/Directors listed above, along with Mr. Pervere and Mr. Thomas, for
election to the Boards. Hereafter the six (6) current members of the Boards
listed above, along with Mr. Pervere and Mr. Thomas, will be referred to as the
"Trustees" or the "Nominees."(1) It is being proposed that the shareholders of
each Issuer approve the Trustees. If approved by the shareholders, each Trustee
of each Issuer will serve indefinitely until his or her death, retirement,
resignation or removal from office. The mandatory retirement age for trustees
who are not "interested persons" (hereinafter "Independent Trustees") as that
term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940
Act") is 73. However, the mandatory retirement age may be extended for a period
not to exceed two years with the approval of the remaining Independent Trustees.
Each Trustee currently oversees 43 Funds, which are all series of the Issuers.
Mr. Thomas oversees an additional 66 funds as an advisory board member for other
American Century funds.
Further information regarding each of the Nominees is provided below. Mr. Thomas
is the only Nominee who is an "interested person" as that term is defined in the
1940 Act because he currently serves as President and Chief Executive Officer of
American Century Companies, Inc. The remaining Nominees are not "interested
persons" under the 1940 Act and therefore will be referred to as "Independent
Trustees." The persons named as proxies on the enclosed proxy card(s) will vote
for the election of all of the Nominees unless authority to vote for any or all
of the Nominees is withheld.
All of the Nominees have consented to serve as trustees/directors, if elected.
In case a Nominee shall be unable or shall fail to act as a trustee/director by
virtue of an unexpected occurrence, persons named as proxies will vote in their
discretion for such other nominee or nominees as the current Trustees may
recommend.
(1) CERTAIN OF THE ISSUERS ARE ORGANIZED AS MASSACHUSETTS BUSINESS TRUSTS
WHILE OTHERS ARE ORGANIZED AS MARYLAND CORPORATIONS. FOR CONVENIENCE
PURPOSES ONLY, THE DIRECTORS OF THE ISSUERS ORGANIZED AS MARYLAND
CORPORATIONS AND THE TRUSTEES OF THE ISSUERS ORGANIZED AS MASSACHUSETTS
BUSINESS TRUSTS ARE BEING COLLECTIVELY REFERRED TO AS THE "TRUSTEES" OR
THE "NOMINEES."

(1) MR. THOMAS WOULD BE AN "INTERESTED" TRUSTEE OF THE ISSUERS FOR
PURPOSES OF THE 1940 ACT. MR. THOMAS IS THE PRESIDENT AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE
OFFICER OF AMERICAN CENTURY COMPANIES, INC.
RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE BOARDS
The Boards oversee the management of the Issuers and the Funds and meet at least
quarterly to review reports about Fund operations. Although the Boards do not
manage the Funds, they have hired American Century Investment Management, Inc.
(the "Advisor") to do so. The Boards, in carrying out their fiduciary duty under
the 1940 Act, are responsible for approving new and existing management
contracts with the Advisor.
The Boards have the authority to manage the business of the Issuers on behalf of
their investors, and they have all powers necessary or convenient to carry out
that responsibility. Consequently, the Boards may adopt bylaws providing for the
regulation and management of the affairs of the Issuers and may amend and repeal
them to the extent that such bylaws do not reserve that right to the Issuers'
investors. They may fill vacancies in or reduce the number of Board members, and
may elect and remove such officers and appoint and terminate such agents as they
consider appropriate. They may appoint from their own number and establish and
terminate one or more committees consisting of two or more Trustees who may
exercise the powers and authority of the Board to the extent that the Trustees
determine. They may, in general, delegate such authority as they consider
desirable to any officer of the Issuers, to any committee of the Board and to
any agent or employee of the Issuers or to any custodian, transfer agent,
investor servicing agent or principal underwriter. Any determination as to what
is in the interests of the Issuers made by the Trustees in good faith shall be
conclusive. The Boards met ten times in 2006. Each Trustee then in office
attended at least 75% of the aggregate of the total number of meetings of the
Board and the total number of meetings held by all committees of the Board on
which the Trustee served, with the exception of Kathryn A. Hall who attended 72%
of such meetings. The Issuers do not have a policy that requires trustees to
attend annual meetings of shareholders.
The Boards have a process for shareholders to send communications to the Boards.
To communicate with the Boards, or a member of the Boards, a shareholder should
send a written communication addressed to the Board or member of the Board to
the attention of the Corporate Secretary at the following address: P.O. Box
418210, Kansas City, Missouri 64141-9210. Shareholders who prefer to communicate
by email may send their comments to corporatesecretary@americancentury.com. All
shareholder communications actually received will be forwarded to the Board or
member of the Board.

STANDING BOARD COMMITTEES
Each Board has an Audit and Compliance Committee which approves each Issuer's
engagement of the independent registered public accounting firm and recommends
approval of such engagement to the Independent Trustees and oversees the
activities of the accounting firm. The Audit and Compliance Committee also
receives reports concerning compliance affecting the Issuers and from the
Advisor's internal audit department. The Audit and Compliance Committee
currently consists of Jeanne D. Wohlers, Ronald J. Gilson and Peter F. Pervere
(in an advisory capacity). The Audit and Compliance Committee met four times in
2006.
Each Board has a Corporate Governance Committee which is responsible for
reviewing Board procedures and committee structures. The Corporate Governance
Committee also considers and recommends individuals for nomination as trustees,
and may recommend the creation of new committees. The names of potential trustee
candidates may be drawn from a number of sources, including recommendations from
members of the Board, management (in the case of Interested Trustees only) and
shareholders.
The Corporate Governance Committee does not have a charter; however, it follows
a policy of considering all candidates recommended in writing by shareholders.
The Boards have not adopted a written policy because the Corporate Governance
Committee considers all candidates recommended in writing by shareholders.
Shareholders may submit trustee/director nominations in writing to the Corporate
Secretary, P.O. Box 418210, Kansas City, Missouri 64141-9210, or by email to
corporatesecretary@americancentury.com. The nomination should include the
following information:
* Shareholder's name, the fund name and number of fund shares owned and
length of period held;
* Name, age and address of the candidate;
* A detailed resume describing, among other things, the candidate's
educational background, occupation, employment history, financial knowledge
and expertise and material outside commitments (e.g., memberships on other
boards and committees, charitable foundations, etc.);
* Any other information relating to the candidate that is required to be
disclosed in solicitations of proxies for election of trustees/directors in
an election contest pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934;
* Number of fund shares owned by the candidate and length of time held;
* A supporting statement that (i) describes the candidate's reasons for
seeking election to the Board and (ii) documents his/her qualifications to
serve as a trustee/director; and
* A signed statement from the candidate confirming his/her willingness to
serve on the Board.
In identifying and evaluating nominees for trustee/director, the Corporate
Governance Committee will consider candidates recommended by a variety of
sources, including incumbent trustees/directors, shareholders, investment
advisor management and third party search firms. The Corporate Governance
Committee seeks to identify and recruit the best available candidates and will
evaluate qualified shareholder nominees on the same basis as those identified
through other sources. The Corporate Governance Committee evaluates each
potential candidate's relevant qualifications, including, without limitation,
the candidate's educational background, occupation, employment history,
expertise and reputation. In addition, the candidate must demonstrate an ability
and willingness to make the time commitment necessary to serve as an effective
trustee/director.
The committee also may recommend the creation of new committees, evaluate the
membership structure of new and existing committees, consider the frequency and
duration of Board and committee meetings and otherwise evaluate the
responsibilities, processes, resources, performance and compensation of the
Board. The Corporate Governance Committee currently consists of Ronald J.
Gilson, John Freidenrich and John B. Shoven. The Corporate Governance Committee
met one time in 2006.
- ------
11
Each Board also has a Portfolio Committee and a Quality of Service Committee.
The Portfolio Committee reviews quarterly the investment activities and
strategies used to manage the Funds' assets. The committee regularly receives
reports from portfolio managers, credit analysts and other investment personnel
concerning the Funds' investments. The Portfolio Committee currently consists of
Myron S. Scholes, John Freidenrich, and Kathryn A. Hall. The Portfolio Committee
met four times during 2006.
The Quality of Service Committee reviews the level and quality of transfer agent
and administrative services provided to the Funds and their shareholders. It
receives and reviews reports comparing those services to those of fund
competitors and seeks to improve such services where feasible and appropriate.
The Quality of Service Committee currently consists of John B. Shoven and Ronald
J. Gilson. The Qualify of Service Committee met five times in 2006.
BOARD COMPENSATION
Each Independent Trustee receives compensation for service as a member of the
Boards, based on a schedule that takes into account the number of meetings
attended and the assets of the Funds for which the meetings are held. These fees
and expenses are allocated among the Issuers based in part on their relative net
assets. Under the terms of each management agreement with the Advisor, the Funds
are responsible for paying such fees and expenses. For each Issuer's last fiscal
year, each Issuer and the American Century family of funds paid the following
amounts to Trustees:

NOTE: NONE OF THE INTERESTED TRUSTEES OR OFFICERS OF THE FUNDS RECEIVES
COMPENSATION FROM THE FUNDS.
None of the Funds currently provides any pension or retirement benefits to the
Trustees.
The Issuers have adopted the American Century Mutual Funds' Independent
Directors' Deferred Compensation Plan. Under the plan, the Independent Trustees
may defer receipt of all or any part of the fees to be paid to them for serving
as trustees of the Funds.
All deferred fees are credited to an account established in the name of the
Trustees. The amounts credited to the account then increase or decrease, as the
case may be, in accordance with the performance of one or more of the American
Century funds that are selected by the Trustee. The account balance continues to
fluctuate in accordance with the performance of the selected Fund or Funds until
final payment of all amounts credited to the account. Trustees are allowed to
change their designation of Funds from time to time.
No deferred fees are payable until such time as a Trustee resigns, retires or
otherwise ceases to be a member of the Boards. Trustees may receive deferred fee
account balances either in a lump sum payment or in substantially equal
installment payments to be made over a period not to exceed 10 years. Upon the
death of a Trustee, all remaining deferred fee account balances are paid to the
Trustee's beneficiary or, if none, to the Trustee's estate.
The plan is an unfunded plan and, accordingly, the Funds have no obligation to
segregate assets to secure or fund the deferred fees. To date, the Funds have
voluntarily funded their obligations. The rights of Trustees to receive their
deferred fee account balances are the same as the rights of a general unsecured
creditor of the Funds. The plan may be terminated at any time by the
administrative committee of the plan. If terminated, all deferred fee account
balances will be paid in a lump sum.
Exhibit A to this Proxy Statement shows the dollar range the Nominees
beneficially owned as of December 31, 2006 in the equity securities of any of
the Funds, and, on an aggregate basis, equity securities of all of the Issuers.

(a) Audit Fees
These fees relate to professional services rendered by PwC for the audits of the
Funds' annual financial statements or services normally provided by an
independent public accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory
filings or engagements. These services included the audits of the financial
statements of the Funds, issuance of consents, income tax provision procedures
and assistance with review of documents filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.
(b) Audit Related Fees
These fees relate to assurance and related services by PwC in connection with
semi-annual financial statements.
(c) Tax Fees
These fees relate to professional services rendered by PwC for tax compliance,
tax advice, and tax planning. These services relate to the review of the Funds'
federal and state income tax returns, review of excise tax calculations and
returns, and a review of the Funds' calculations of capital gains and income
distributions.
(d) All Other Fees
These fees relate to products and services provided by PwC other than those
reported under "Audit Fees," "Audit-Related Fees," and "Tax Fees."

AUDIT COMMITTEE PRE-APPROVAL POLICIES AND PROCEDURES
The Audit Committee approves the engagement of the accountant prior to the
accountant rendering any audit or non-audit services to the Issuers. The
aggregate non-audit fees billed by PwC for services rendered to the Advisor and
service affiliates for the years ended December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2006
were $100,000 and $253,580, respectively.
The Audit Committee considered and concluded that the provision of non-audit
services to the Advisor and its affiliates that did not require pre-approval is
compatible with maintaining PwC's independence.
SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL
Proposal 1, the election of the Trustees, must be approved by a plurality of the
votes cast in person or by proxy at the Meeting at which a quorum exists. The
shareholders of each Issuer will vote separately for the election of Trustees.
The shareholders of each Issuer will vote together as a single class and the
voting power of the shares of each Fund that is a series of an Issuer will be
counted together in determining the results of the voting for Proposal 1.
THE BOARDS RECOMMEND THAT THE SHAREHOLDERS VOTE TO ELECT EACH OF THE NOMINEES.
PROPOSAL 2
APPROVAL OF A CHANGE IN THE FEE STRUCTURE OF THE ADVISOR CLASS SHARES OF THE
ADVISOR FUNDS
OVERVIEW AND RELATED INFORMATION
On December 8, 2006, the Boards approved a decrease of 25 basis points (0.25%)
in the Rule 12b-1 fee charged by the Advisor Class of the Advisor Funds while
simultaneously approving, subject to shareholder approval, an increase of 25
basis points in the unified management fee for the Advisor Class of the Advisor
Funds, resulting in no change to the total expense ratios. The decrease in the
Rule 12b-1 fee and corresponding increase in the unified management fee are
designed to move the fee for the provision of certain
recordkeeping/administrative services from the Rule 12b-1 fee to the unified
management fee. The recordkeeping/administrative services, which include the
provision of recordkeeping and related services that would otherwise be
performed by the Fund's transfer agent, may be performed by financial
intermediaries or by the Advisor or its affiliates. In circumstances in which
the recordkeeping/administrative services are performed by financial
intermediaries, the Advisor will pay such intermediaries all or part of the
recordkeeping/administrative fee for performing the services. The
recordkeeping/administrative services, which will not change, do not encompass
distribution-related services. This modification will make the fee structure of
the Advisor Class shares of the Advisor Funds more consistent with the other
share classes of the American Century Funds. Any reimbursement paid to financial
intermediaries for the provision of recordkeeping/administrative services will
now be paid out of the unified management fee received by the Advisor and not
the Rule 12b-1 fee.
CONSEQUENCES OF APPROVAL OF THE CHANGE IN FEE STRUCTURE
The proposed 25 basis point increase in the unified management fee is not
expected to have any effect on the total expense ratio of the Advisor Class
shares of the Advisor Funds. As previously noted, the 25 basis point increase in
the unified management fee will be offset by a corresponding decrease of 25
basis points in the Rule 12b-1 fee. If shareholders do not approve the increase
in the unified management fee, then the recordkeeping/administrative services
fee will continue to be paid out of the Rule 12b-1 fee and the proposed decrease
in the Rule 12b-1 fee will not take effect. If approved by shareholders, the
current advisory contracts of the Advisor Funds will be amended to reflect the
25 basis point increase in the unified management fee. Hereafter, the amended
contracts shall be referred to as the "New Advisory Agreements." If this
Proposal is not approved by one or more of the Advisor Classes of the Advisor
Funds, then American Century may elect not to proceed with the Proposal with
respect to some or all of the Advisor Funds.
This Proposal is part of a larger set of initiatives designed to streamline
American Century's mutual fund offerings and better align them with investor
buying preferences and market opportunities. As part of this larger set of
initiatives, the Boards recently approved a proposal to reclassify the A Class
shares of Diversified Bond, High-Yield and Prime Money Market as Advisor Class
shares of the same Funds, subject to the approval of the Change in Fee Structure
Proposal contained in this Proxy Statement. Pursuant to this reclassification,
the current A Class shares would cease to exist; the Change in Fee Structure
Proposal contained in this Proxy Statement would take effect; such shares would
be subject to a maximum 4.50% front-end sales load; and the Advisor Class shares
would be renamed as A Class shares. However, the front-end sales load will not
apply to current Advisor Class shareholders who purchase additional shares in
the same accounts. Additionally, after the Advisor Class shares have been
renamed as A Class shares, shareholders will be able to exchange their shares
for A Class shares of other American Century Funds.
- ------
16
Also as part of this larger set of initiatives, the Boards recently approved a
proposal to reclassify the Advisor Class shares of Tax-Free Bond and Utilities
as Investor Class shares of the same Funds. Advisor Class shareholders of these
Funds will receive a separate proxy statement/prospectus describing this
proposal in detail and will have an opportunity to vote on it. If approved by
the Advisor Class shareholders of these two Funds, Advisor Class shares would
cease to exist; the Change in Fee Structure Proposal contained in this Proxy
Statement would become moot; and therefore, even if approved, the Change In Fee
Structure Proposal would not take effect for Tax-Free Bond and Utilities.
Lastly, as part of this larger set of initiatives, it is anticipated that if the
Change in Fee Structure Proposal is approved, the Advisor Class shares of
International Bond, Disciplined Growth, Equity Growth, Global Gold, and Income
and Growth will be renamed as "A Class" shares. Additionally, it is anticipated
that a maximum front-end sales load of 5.75%, or 4.50% in the case of
International Bond, will be imposed on the renamed A Class shares. However, the
front-end sales load will not apply to current Advisor Class shareholders who
purchase additional shares in the same accounts. Additionally, after the Advisor
Class shares have been renamed as A Class shares, shareholders will be able to
exchange their shares for A Class shares of other American Century Funds.

COMPARISON OF THE CURRENT ADVISORY AGREEMENTS AND THE NEW ADVISORY AGREEMENTS
The terms of each New Advisory Agreement are identical to those of the
corresponding Current Advisory Agreement, except for the management fees
payable, which have been increased by 25 basis points to account for the
transfer of the recordkeeping/administrative reimbursements from the Rule 12b-1
fee to the unified management fee, and the effective and termination dates. The
New Advisory Agreements will continue in effect from year to year if such
continuance is approved for the Funds at least annually in the manner required
by the 1940 Act and the rules and regulations thereunder. Please see Exhibit C
for the current rate of compensation paid under the Current Advisory Agreements
for each Advisor Fund and the pro forma fees to be paid under the New Advisory
Agreements after giving effect to the Change in Fee Structure Proposal.
ADVISORY SERVICES
The services to be provided by the Advisor to the Advisor Funds under the New
Advisory Agreements will be identical to those services that were provided by
the Advisor under the Current Advisory Agreements except that the provision of
recordkeeping/administrative services will now be provided for and paid for
under the New Advisory Agreements. Both the Current Advisory Agreements and the
New Advisory Agreements provide that the Advisor will: (i) decide what
securities to buy and sell for each Advisor Fund's portfolio and (ii) select
brokers and dealers to carry out portfolio securities transactions for each
Advisor Fund.
EXPENSES
The provisions of the New Advisory Agreements regarding expenses are identical
to the provisions of the Current Advisory Agreements. Under the terms of the
Current Advisory Agreements and the New Advisory Agreements, the Advisor will
bear all expenses incurred by it in the performance of its responsibilities.
Each Advisor Fund is responsible for custody fees and other charges and expenses
of each Advisor Fund's operations such as compensation of the Independent
Trustees, independent accountants and legal counsel of the Independent Trustees.
COMPENSATION
The following table shows the aggregate amount paid by each Fund under the
unified management fee and Rule 12b-1 fee for 2006, and the aggregate amount
that would have been paid if the proposed unified management fee and Rule 12b-1
fee had been in effect during 2006.

BASIS FOR THE BOARDS' APPROVAL OF THE NEW ADVISORY AGREEMENTS
At a meeting held on December 8, 2006, the Boards, including the Independent
Trustees, considered and approved the proposed increase to the unified
management fee of the Advisor Class shares of the Advisor Funds and accordingly
approved the New Advisory Agreements for each Advisor Fund. In approving the New
Advisory Agreements, the Boards considered the following factors:
* that the increase in the unified management fee is being proposed in
connection with a simultaneous decrease in the Rule 12b-1 fees of the Advisor
Class;
* that there is not expected to be any change in the total expense ratio of
the Advisor Class as a result of the increase in the unified management fee;
* that if the proposed New Advisory Agreements are approved by shareholders
of the Advisor Class of International Bond, Disciplined Growth, Equity
Growth, Global Gold, and Income and Growth, it is anticipated that the
Advisor Class shares will be renamed A Class shares, and a front-end sales
load would be added to the class; but would also result in the load being
waived for the accounts of current shareholders of those Advisor Classes who
purchase future A Class shares through the same accounts; and
* that the increase in the unified management fee of the Advisor Class will
make the class fee structure more consistent with the fee structure of other
share classes of the American Century Funds and industry practices.
At the meeting, after considering all information presented, the Boards,
including the Independent Trustees, approved each New Advisory Agreement and
determined to recommend that shareholders approve the New Advisory Agreements.
No single factor was determinative in the Boards' analysis. The following
summary describes the most important, but not all, of the factors considered by
the Boards.
SERVICES TO BE PROVIDED
The Boards considered the services to be provided in consideration for the 25
basis point increase in the unified management fee. The Boards noted that the
recordkeeping/administrative services provided in consideration for the 25 basis
points would not change. Instead the recordkeeping/administrative services would
now be paid as part of the unified management fee instead of the Rule 12b-1 fee.
The recordkeeping/administrative services, which include the provision of
recordkeeping and related services that would otherwise be performed by the
Funds' transfer agent, may be performed by financial intermediaries or by the
Advisor or its affiliates. In circumstances in which the
recordkeeping/administrative services are performed by financial intermediaries,
the Advisor will pay such intermediaries all or part of the
recordkeeping/administrative fee for performing the services.
- ------
20
COSTS AND PROFITABILITY
The Boards did not request any specific information regarding the costs of the
services to be provided in consideration of the 25 basis point increase in the
unified management fee because the Boards had previously reviewed the nature,
scope and costs associated with the provision of the
recordkeeping/administrative services as part of its approval of the Rule 12b-1
plan on behalf of the Advisor Funds. The Boards had previously found the 25
basis point fee for recordkeeping/administrative services to be reasonable in
light of the scope and nature of the services provided.
BENEFITS TO THE ADVISOR
The Boards considered the information presented regarding the benefits to the
Advisor from the increase in the unified management fee. The Boards noted that
the 25 basis point increase in the unified management fee would be paid out by
the Advisor to the financial intermediary providing the
recordkeeping/administrative services to the beneficial owner of the shares. The
increased fee would only be retained by the Advisor to the extent that it was
providing the recordkeeping/administrative services on behalf of shareholders.
Currently, the Advisor retains the fee only to the extent it provides the
recordkeeping/administrative services on behalf of shareholders. Therefore,
there would not be a change in the amount the Advisor retains.
ECONOMIES OF SCALE
The Boards considered that the total expense ratio of the Advisor Class would
not change as a result of the increase in the unified management fee due to the
corresponding decrease in the Rule 12b-1 fee. The Boards considered that it was
necessary to pay financial intermediaries a fee for providing
recordkeeping/administrative services to shareholders and that the payment of
such a fee by the Advisor Funds could help them increase their assets and
therefore potentially enable shareholders to realize future economies of scale.
The Boards recognized, however, that the proposal would not increase payments to
financial intermediaries.
Additional information regarding the factors the Boards considered in their
annual renewal of advisory contracts on behalf of the Advisor Funds can be found
in the report to shareholders for each respective Advisor Fund. To request a
report of an Advisor Fund please call the following number: 1-800-345-2021.
AFFILIATED BROKERAGE

SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL
Proposal 2, the approval of the change to the Advisor Class fee structure, must
be approved in accordance with Section 15(a) of the 1940 Act, which requires the
approval of the lesser of (i) more than 50% of the outstanding shares of the
applicable class or (ii) 67% or more of the shares of that class present or
represented by proxy at the Meeting if more than 50% of such shares are present
or represented by proxy. The shareholders of the Advisor Class of each of the
Advisor Funds will vote separately on Proposal 2.
THE TRUSTEES OF THE ADVISOR FUNDS RECOMMEND THAT THE SHAREHOLDERS OF THE ADVISOR
CLASS OF EACH ADVISOR FUND VOTE TO APPROVE THE CHANGE TO THE ADVISOR CLASS FEE
STRUCTURE.
OTHER INFORMATION
MEETINGS OF SHAREHOLDERS
The Funds are not required to hold annual shareholder meetings, unless required
to do so in order to elect trustees/directors and for such other purposes as may
be prescribed by law or the Funds' Declarations of Trust/Articles of
Incorporation. Special meetings of the shareholders may be called by the Boards
for the purpose of taking action upon any other matter deemed by the Boards to
be necessary or desirable. A meeting of the shareholders may be held at any
place designated by the Boards. Written notice of any meeting is required to be
given by the trustees/directors.

21
This Proxy Statement is being furnished in connection with the solicitation of
proxies by the Boards (including, with respect to Proposal 1, the Nominees to
the Boards). Proxies may be solicited by officers of the Funds and the Advisor,
as well as their affiliates, employees and agents. In addition, financial
intermediaries may solicit the proxy of the beneficial owners of the shares. It
is anticipated that the solicitation of proxies will be primarily by mail,
internet, telephone, facsimile or personal interview. Shareholders who
communicate proxies by telephone or by other electronic means have the same
power and authority to issue, revoke or otherwise change their voting
instructions as shareholders submitting proxies in written form. Telephonic
solicitations will follow procedures designed to ensure accuracy and prevent
fraud. The Advisor or an affiliate thereof may reimburse banks, brokers and
others for their reasonable expenses in forwarding proxy solicitation materials
to beneficial owners of Fund shares, and may reimburse certain officers or
employees that it may employ for their reasonable expenses in assisting in the
solicitation of proxies from such beneficial owners. The expenses associated
with the Proposals of this Proxy Statement will be paid by American Century.
Such expenses include: (a) expenses associated with the preparation and filing
of this Proxy Statement; (b) postage; (c) printing; (d) accounting fees; (e)
legal fees incurred in the preparation of the Proxy Statement; (f) solicitation
costs; and (g) other related administrative or operational costs.
American Century Services, LLC, the transfer agent and administrator of the
Funds, has entered into a contract with ADP Investor Communication Services,
Inc. ("ADP") pursuant to which ADP will provide certain project management,
telephone solicitation, and internet and telephonic voting services in addition
to providing for the printing and mailing of the proxy statement. The fees to be
paid to ADP by American Century Services, LLC under the contract are estimated
to be $1.9 million in the aggregate.
DATE, TIME AND PLACE OF MEETING
The Meeting will be held on June 27, 2007 at 10:30 a.m., Central Time at the
principal executive offices of American Century, 4500 Main Street, Kansas City,
Missouri 64111.
USE AND REVOCATION OF PROXIES
A shareholder executing and returning a proxy has the power to revoke it at any
time prior to its exercise by executing a superseding proxy (i.e., a later-dated
and signed proxy), by submitting a notice of revocation to the Secretary of the
Funds or by subsequently registering his or her vote by telephone or over the
Internet. In addition, although mere attendance at the Meeting will not revoke a
proxy, a shareholder of record present at the Meeting may withdraw his or her
proxy and vote in person. All shares represented by properly executed proxies
received at or prior to the Meeting, unless such proxies previously have been
revoked, will be voted at the Meeting in accordance with the directions on the
proxies. If no direction is indicated on a properly executed proxy, such shares
will be voted "FOR" approval of the Proposal(s). It is not anticipated that any
matters other than the approval of the Proposals will be brought before the
Meeting. If, however, any other business properly is brought before the Meeting,
proxies will be voted in accordance with the judgment of the persons designated
on such proxies.
VOTING RIGHTS AND REQUIRED VOTES
A quorum of shareholders is necessary to hold a valid meeting. Shareholders
entitled to vote one-third of the issued and outstanding shares of each Issuer
or Class must be present in person or by proxy, to constitute a quorum for
purposes of voting on proposals relating to that Issuer or Class. Shareholders
are entitled to one vote per dollar of net asset value represented by their
shares, with fractional dollars voting proportionally. Shareholders of each
Issuer vote separately on Proposal 1 (Election of Trustees/Directors). Holders
of Advisor Class shares of the Advisor Funds vote separately on Proposal 2
(Change in Advisor Class Fee Structure). Approval of Proposal 1 requires the
approval of a plurality of the votes cast in person or by proxy at the Meeting
at which a quorum exists. Approval of Proposal 2 requires the approval of the
lesser of (i) more than 50% of the outstanding shares of the Advisor Class of
the applicable Fund or (ii) 67% or more of the shares of that Class present or
represented by proxy at the Meeting if more than 50% of such shares are present
or represented by proxy. Broker-dealer firms holding shares of any of the funds
in "street name" for the benefit of their customers and clients will request the
instructions of such customers and clients on how to vote their shares before
the Meeting. Each Issuer or Class will include shares held of record by
broker-dealers as to which such authority has been granted in its tabulation of
the total number of shares present for purposes of determining whether the
necessary quorum of shareholders exists. Properly executed proxies that are
returned but that are marked "abstain" or with respect to which a broker-dealer
has declined to vote on any proposal ("broker non-votes") will be treated as
shares that are present but which have not been voted. For this reason,
abstentions and broker non-votes will have the effect of a "no" vote for
purposes of obtaining the requisite approval of the proposals. In the event that
a quorum is not present or in the event that a quorum is present but sufficient
votes in favor of a Proposal have not been received, the persons named as
proxies may propose one or more adjournments of the Meeting to permit further
solicitation of proxies as to any Proposal without further notice other than by
announcement at the Meeting. Any adjournment of the Meeting for the further
- ------
22
solicitation of proxies for a Proposal will require the affirmative vote of a
majority of the total number of shares entitled to vote on the Proposal that are
present in person or by proxy at the Meeting to be adjourned. However, if the
Meeting is adjourned for more than sixty days, then the Funds are required to
send a new notice to shareholders of American Century California Tax-Free and
Municipal Funds, American Century International Bond Funds, American Century
Investment Trust, American Century Government Income Trust, American Century
Municipal Trust and American Century Target Maturities Trust. If the Meeting is
adjourned for more than ninety days, then the Funds are required to send a
notice to shareholders of American Century Quantitative Equity Funds, Inc. and
American Century Variable Portfolios II, Inc.
