Municipal Bonds (Munis) Extended Their Outperformance During a Continued Volatile Period
The narrative provided six months ago in our semiannual report letter hasn’t changed much—the key conditions described then extended for another half year. As explained then, widespread concerns about global economic growth sparked sharp financial market volatility. The primary catalyst was China, where slowing economic growth, currency devaluations, and massive monetary policy easing sent shock waves through the global markets. These factors re-emerged in January and early February this year, triggering sell-offs in riskier assets such as stocks and high-yield bonds. In the U.S. stock market, relatively defensive sectors such as utilities, telecommunication services, and consumer discretionary performed best. In the U.S. bond market, high-quality sectors including munis and Treasuries were market leaders.
Consistent with the first six months of the reporting period, munis continued to outperform for the full fiscal year. The broad muni market benefited from its comparatively high overall credit quality, despite defaults in Puerto Rico and financial concerns facing Illinois and New Jersey. We continue to view these as isolated incidents running counter to overall muni credit quality trends. Also, as government bond yields fell globally during the last six months of the reporting period, after-tax muni yields looked attractive, especially for investors in top tax brackets.
We expect many of the factors that kept sovereign bond yields low during the reporting period to persist through the end of the year, keeping U.S. government bond yields range-bound, despite the Federal Reserve’s attempts to raise its interest rate target. We believe those attempts will be muted in the face of continuing global economic, political, and market headwinds. Furthermore, conjecture about Federal Reserve policy and the outcome of the U.S. presidential election, among other factors, could lead to further market volatility, presenting both challenges and opportunities for active investment managers. We continue to believe in a disciplined, diversified, risk-aware investment approach, using professionally managed portfolios to meet financial goals. We appreciate your trust in us.
Sincerely,
Jonathan Thomas
President and Chief Executive Officer
American Century Investments

Performance Summary
High-Yield Municipal returned 7.90%* for the 12 months ended May 31, 2016. By comparison, the investment-grade Barclays Municipal Bond Index returned 5.87%. Fund returns reflect operating expenses, while index returns do not.
The fund’s return for the reporting period largely reflected the positive overall performance of the municipal bond (muni) market combined with favorable security selection. Of note, high-yield munis generally underperformed their investment-grade counterparts during the 12-month period (returning 4.70%, according to Barclays) as investors favored higher-quality bonds. Despite this broad higher-quality bias working against it, the portfolio performed well, benefiting from security selection and duration positioning (price sensitivity to interest rate changes).
Muni Market Dynamics Aided Performance
Investor concerns about global growth (particularly in China), commodity prices, and central bank monetary decisions created a volatile market climate throughout the reporting period. The U.S. economy continued to exhibit modest growth, but the U.S. Federal Reserve (the Fed) remained focused on the sluggish global landscape and its potential risks to the U.S. economy. This triggered ongoing investor speculation regarding the timing and magnitude of interest rate “normalization” from the Fed. This uncertainty contributed to the period’s market volatility. Ultimately, the Fed delayed its much-anticipated 2015 interest rate hike until the final month of the year, lifting the range for its benchmark short-term interest rate 25 basis points (1 basis point equals 0.01%) to 0.25%-0.50% on December 16. The new year ushered in a fresh round of global growth worries and a severe equity market sell-off. The Fed took an anticipated first-quarter rate hike off the table, and investors gradually curtailed their expectations for additional rate hikes in 2016. The Fed held rates steady through the end of the reporting period, citing concerns about the health of the global economy and weaker-than-expected first-quarter U.S. economic growth as reasons to pursue a “lower for longer” rate strategy. Meanwhile, central banks in Europe, Japan, and China continued to cut interest rates and implement other aggressive stimulus programs in response to weak growth rates and the threat of deflation in those regions.
This environment generally led to positive performance for U.S. Treasuries and most U.S. bond market sectors. Yields on the 10-year Treasury note and the 30-year Treasury bond declined 27 basis points and 23 basis points, respectively, while the yield on the Fed policy-sensitive two-year Treasury note increased 27 basis points. Munis generally tracked the U.S. Treasury market, but factors specific to the municipal market helped munis outperform. In particular, supply and demand dynamics remained favorable, which supported gains. Other than an increase in muni supply early in the period (as issuers rushed to issue or refinance debt ahead of the Fed’s rate hike), supply declined modestly for the period overall. At the same time, demand for munis remained robust largely due to their tax advantages. Investor desire for yield also helped drive demand for high-yield munis. As of May 31, 2016, muni funds experienced 34 consecutive weeks of positive flows, according to Lipper Inc.
Overall, all major sectors of the muni bond market posted positive returns for the 12-month period. Longer-maturity and higher-quality munis generally performed better than shorter-maturity and lower-quality securities, and revenue bonds outperformed GO (general obligation) bonds.
* All fund returns referenced in this commentary are for Investor Class shares. Performance for other share classes will vary due to differences in fee structure; when Investor Class performance exceeds that of the fund's benchmark, other share classes may not. See page 3 for returns for all share classes.
Market Fundamentals Remained Positive Despite Isolated Credit Events
Despite negative credit events for specific issuers in Puerto Rico, Chicago, New Jersey, and other relatively isolated entities, muni market fundamentals generally remained positive and continued to provide support to the broad market. We believe the main problems facing these issuers are due largely to their own individual circumstances and are not indicative of any particular systemic municipal market problem.
From a broad fiscal standpoint, state and local finances across the U.S. remained relatively healthy during the reporting period, even as revenue growth slowed largely due to weak stock market returns. However, spending restraint has enabled most states to maintain stable credit profiles. From a credit rating perspective, muni credit-rating upgrades continued to slightly outpace downgrades, and the muni default rate remained low. We continue to believe it’s unlikely any states will default, but select, isolated state, local, and commonwealth credit ratings may be pressured by special circumstances.
Security Selection, Duration Positioning Aided Results
Our continued bias toward revenue bonds over GO bonds contributed to portfolio performance. Within the revenue sector, we continued to favor essential service (such as those that finance water and sewer projects) revenue bonds, along with transportation and hospital bonds. Within revenue and other sub-sectors, what we didn’t hold in the portfolio was nearly as important to relative fund performance as what we did hold, including minimizing the portfolio’s exposure to key issuers in Puerto Rico and Chicago (Chicago Board of Education). We began reducing the portfolio’s exposure to Puerto Rico munis during the second half of 2014, and we completely exited the position by July 2015. Although the portfolio no longer has direct exposure, we expect Puerto Rico will continue to influence the high-yield market due to the sheer size and prevalence of its outstanding debt. On a different front, Chicago, like Puerto Rico, has multiple issuers, but its stronger issuers face fewer financial hurdles than Puerto Rico does. The portfolio owns Chicago debt, but none issued by Chicago Board of Education.
Overall, our positioning and bottom-up security selection within multiple sectors boosted performance. In the education sector, we added exposure to charter schools (a growing industry) in Arizona and Pennsylvania at what we believe were attractive valuations. We also selectively added tobacco settlement bonds, which contributed to portfolio performance.
During the first half of the reporting period, we generally maintained a neutral duration strategy. In December 2015, we extended the portfolio’s duration in anticipation of favorable technical factors typically prevalent in January. We maintained the slightly longer-than-average duration through the end of May 2016, which aided portfolio performance as yields generally declined through the first five months of 2016. We used U.S. Treasury futures contracts at times as part of our duration strategy.
Market Volatility Likely to Persist
Looking ahead, we believe U.S. economic fundamentals eventually will prompt the Fed to resume interest-rate normalization. But weaker global economic fundamentals, U.S. dollar strength, and geopolitical risks may delay Fed action and keep rates range-bound. We expect market volatility to persist as investors await additional Fed comments and action on short-term interest rates. Volatility also is likely to escalate as the U.S. presidential campaign heats up and the candidates debate tax and other policies prior to the November election. Mounting market volatility may cause credit spreads (the yield differential between high-quality and low-quality munis of similar maturity) to widen, which may present compelling buying opportunities among lower-quality credits. In this environment, we believe fundamental credit research, active management, and security selection will become increasingly important.

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 December 1, 2015 to May 31, 2016.
Actual Expenses
The table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses for each class. You may use the information, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. First, identify the share class you own. Then simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
If you hold Investor Class shares of any American Century Investments fund, or Institutional Class shares of the American Century Diversified Bond Fund, in an American Century Investments account (i.e., not a financial intermediary or retirement plan account), American Century Investments may charge you a $12.50 semiannual account maintenance fee if the value of those shares is less than $10,000. We will redeem shares automatically in one of your accounts to pay the $12.50 fee. In determining your total eligible investment amount, we will include your investments in all personal accounts (including American Century Investments Brokerage accounts) registered under your Social Security number. Personal accounts include individual accounts, joint accounts, UGMA/UTMA accounts, personal trusts, Coverdell Education Savings Accounts and IRAs (including traditional, Roth, Rollover, SEP-, SARSEP- and SIMPLE-IRAs), and certain other retirement accounts. If you have only business, business retirement, employer-sponsored or American Century Investments Brokerage accounts, you are currently not subject to this fee. If you are subject to the Account Maintenance Fee, your account value could be reduced by the fee amount.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The table also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual expense ratio of each class of your fund and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the actual return of a fund’s share class. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption/exchange fees. Therefore, the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

MAY 31, 2016
1. Organization
American Century Municipal 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 Municipal Fund (the fund) is one fund in a series issued by the trust. The fund’s investment objective is to seek high current income that is exempt from federal income tax. The fund also seeks capital appreciation as a secondary objective.
The fund offers the Investor Class, the Institutional Class, the A Class and the C Class. The A Class may incur an initial sales charge. The A Class and C Class may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge. The share classes differ principally in their respective sales charges and distribution and shareholder servicing expenses and arrangements. The Institutional Class is made available to institutional shareholders or through financial intermediaries whose clients do not require the same level of shareholder and administrative services as shareholders of other classes. As a result, the Institutional Class is charged a lower unified management fee.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the fund in preparation of its financial statements. The fund is an investment company and follows accounting and reporting guidance in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. This may require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Management evaluated the impact of events or transactions occurring through the date the financial statements were issued that would merit recognition or disclosure.
Investment Valuations — The fund determines the fair value of its investments and computes its net asset value per share at the close of regular trading (usually 4 p.m. Eastern time) on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on each day the NYSE is open. The Board of Trustees has adopted valuation policies and procedures to guide the investment advisor in the fund’s investment valuation process and to provide methodologies for the oversight of the fund’s pricing function.
Fixed income securities are valued at the evaluated mean as provided by independent pricing services or at the mean of the most recent bid and asked prices as provided by investment dealers. Municipal securities are valued using market models that consider trade data, quotations from dealers and active market makers, relevant yield curve and spread data, creditworthiness, trade data or market information on comparable securities, and other relevant security specific information.
Open-end management investment companies are valued at the reported net asset value per share. Exchange-traded futures contracts are valued at the settlement price as provided by the appropriate clearing corporation.
If the fund determines that the market price for an investment is not readily available or the valuation methods mentioned above do not reflect an investment’s fair value, such investment is valued as determined in good faith by the Board of Trustees or its delegate, in accordance with policies and procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. In its determination of fair value, the fund may review several factors including, but not limited to, market information regarding the specific investment or comparable investments and correlation with other investment types, futures indices or general market indicators. Circumstances that may cause the fund to use these procedures to value an investment include, but are not limited to: an investment has been declared in default or is distressed; trading in a security has been suspended during the trading day or a security is not actively trading on its principal exchange; prices received from a regular pricing source are deemed unreliable; or there is a foreign market holiday and no trading occurred.
The fund monitors for significant events occurring after the close of an investment’s primary exchange but before the fund’s net asset value per share is determined. Significant events may include, but are not limited to: corporate announcements and transactions; governmental action and political unrest that could impact a specific investment or an investment sector; or armed conflicts, natural disasters and similar events that could affect investments in a specific country or region.
Security Transactions — Security transactions are accounted for as of the trade date. Net realized gains and losses are determined on the identified cost basis, which is also used for federal income tax purposes.
Investment Income — Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis and includes accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums.
Segregated Assets — In accordance with the 1940 Act, the fund segregates assets on its books and records to cover certain types of investments, including, but not limited to, futures contracts and when-issued securities. American Century Investment Management, Inc. (ACIM) (the investment advisor) monitors, on a daily basis, the securities segregated to ensure the fund designates a sufficient amount of liquid assets, marked-to-market daily. The fund may also receive assets or be required to pledge assets at the custodian bank or with a broker for margin requirements on futures contracts.
Income Tax Status — It is the fund’s policy to distribute substantially all net investment income and net realized gains to shareholders and to otherwise qualify as a regulated investment company under provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, no provision has been made for income taxes. The fund files U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S. tax returns as applicable. The fund's tax returns are subject to examination by the relevant taxing authority until expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, which is generally three years from the date of filing but can be longer in certain jurisdictions. At this time, management believes there are no uncertain tax positions which, based on their technical merit, would not be sustained upon examination and for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.
Multiple Class — All shares of the fund represent an equal pro rata interest in the net assets of the class to which such shares belong, and have identical voting, dividend, liquidation and other rights and the same terms and conditions, except for class specific expenses and exclusive rights to vote on matters affecting only individual classes. Income, non-class specific expenses, and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses of the fund are allocated to each class of shares based on their relative net assets.
Distributions to Shareholders — Distributions from net investment income, if any, are declared daily and paid monthly. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are generally declared and paid annually.
Indemnifications — Under the trust’s organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the fund. In addition, in the normal course of business, the fund enters into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against a fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered by management to be remote.
3. Fees and Transactions with Related Parties
Certain officers and trustees of the trust are also officers and/or directors of American Century Companies, Inc. (ACC). The trust's investment advisor, ACIM, the trust's distributor, American Century Investment Services, Inc. (ACIS), and the trust's transfer agent, American Century Services, LLC, are wholly owned, directly or indirectly, by ACC.
Management Fees — The trust has entered into a management agreement with ACIM, under which ACIM provides the fund with investment advisory and management services in exchange for a single, unified management fee (the fee) per class. The agreement provides that all expenses of managing and operating the fund, except distribution and service fees, brokerage expenses, taxes, interest, fees and expenses of the independent trustees (including legal counsel fees), and extraordinary expenses, will be paid by ACIM. The fee is computed and accrued daily based on each class’s daily net assets and paid monthly in arrears. The fee consists of (1) an Investment Category Fee based on the daily net assets of the fund and certain other accounts managed by the investment advisor that are in the same broad investment category as the fund and (2) a Complex Fee based on the assets of all the funds in the American Century Investments family of funds. The rates for the Investment Category Fee range from 0.2925% to 0.4100%. The rates for the Complex Fee range from 0.2500% to 0.3100% for the Investor Class, A Class and C Class. The rates for the Complex Fee range from 0.0500% to 0.1100% for the Institutional Class. The effective annual management fee for each class for the year ended May 31, 2016 was 0.60% for the Investor Class, A Class and C Class and 0.40% for the Institutional Class.
Distribution and Service Fees — The Board of Trustees has adopted a separate Master Distribution and Individual Shareholder Services Plan for each of the A Class and C Class (collectively the plans), pursuant to Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act. The plans provide that the A Class will pay ACIS an annual distribution and
service fee of 0.25%. The plans provide that the C Class will pay ACIS an annual distribution and service fee of 1.00%, of which 0.25% is paid for individual shareholder services and 0.75% is paid for distribution services. The fees are computed and accrued daily based on each class’s daily net assets and paid monthly in arrears. The fees are used to pay financial intermediaries for distribution and individual shareholder services. Fees incurred under the plans during the year ended May 31, 2016 are detailed in the Statement of Operations.
Trustees’ Fees and Expenses — The Board of Trustees is responsible for overseeing the investment advisor’s management and operations of the fund. The trustees receive detailed information about the fund and its investment advisor regularly throughout the year, and meet at least quarterly with management of the investment advisor to review reports about fund operations. The fund’s officers do not receive compensation from the fund.
Interfund Transactions — The fund may enter into security transactions with other American Century Investments funds and other client accounts of the investment advisor, in accordance with the 1940 Act rules and procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. The rules and procedures require, among other things, that these transactions be effected at the independent current market price of the security. During the period, the interfund purchases and sales were $27,300,000 and $12,100,000, respectively.
4. Investment Transactions
Purchases and sales of investment securities, excluding short-term investments, for the year ended May 31, 2016 were $302,371,447 and $173,495,785, respectively.

6. Fair Value Measurements
The fund’s investments valuation process is based on several considerations and may use multiple inputs to determine the fair value of the investments held by the fund. In conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the inputs used to determine a valuation are classified into three broad levels.
| |
• | Level 1 valuation inputs consist of unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical investments. |
| |
• | Level 2 valuation inputs consist of direct or indirect observable market data (including quoted prices for comparable investments, evaluations of subsequent market events, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.). These inputs also consist of quoted prices for identical investments initially expressed in local currencies that are adjusted through translation into U.S. dollars. |
| |
• | Level 3 valuation inputs consist of unobservable data (including a fund’s own assumptions). |
The level classification is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair valuation measurement. The valuation inputs are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in these securities or other financial instruments. There were no significant transfers between levels during the period.
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. Subsequent payments (variation margin) are made or received daily, in cash, by a fund. The variation margin is equal to the daily change in the contract value and is recorded as unrealized gains and losses. A fund recognizes a realized gain or loss when the futures contract is closed or expires. Net realized and unrealized gains or losses occurring during the holding period of futures contracts are a component of net realized gain (loss) on futures contract transactions and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on futures contracts, respectively. One of the risks of entering into futures contracts is the possibility that the change in value of the contract may not correlate with the changes in value of the underlying securities. The fund's average exposure to interest rate risk derivative instruments held during the period was 34 contracts.
At period end, the fund did not have any derivative instruments disclosed on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. For the year ended May 31, 2016, the effect of interest rate risk derivative instruments on the Statement of Operations was $(153,125) in net realized gain (loss) on futures contract transactions and $96,565 in change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on futures contracts.
8. Risk Factors
The fund invests in lower-rated debt securities, which are subject to substantial risks including liquidity risk and credit risk.
9. Federal Tax Information
The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended May 31, 2016 and May 31, 2015 were as follows:
|
| | | | | | |
| 2016 | 2015 |
Distributions Paid From | | |
Exempt income | $ | 15,524,575 |
| $ | 14,330,376 |
|
Taxable ordinary income | — |
| $ | 7,337 |
|
Long-term capital gains | — |
| — |
|
The book-basis character of distributions made during the year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. These differences reflect the differing character of certain income items and net realized gains and losses for financial statement and tax purposes, and may result in reclassification among certain capital accounts on the financial statements.
As of May 31, 2016, the federal tax cost of investments and the components of distributable earnings on a tax-basis were as follows:
|
| | | |
Federal tax cost of investments | $ | 484,518,138 |
|
Gross tax appreciation of investments | $ | 36,148,989 |
|
Gross tax depreciation of investments | (2,638,038 | ) |
Net tax appreciation (depreciation) of investments | 33,510,951 |
|
Net tax appreciation (depreciation) on derivatives | — |
|
Net tax appreciation (depreciation) | $ | 33,510,951 |
|
Undistributed exempt income | $ | 113,563 |
|
Accumulated short-term capital losses | $ | (34,172,259 | ) |
Accumulated long-term capital losses | $ | (3,346,892 | ) |
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is attributable primarily to the treatment of non-shareholder capital contributions and income from defaulted securities.
Accumulated capital losses represent net capital loss carryovers that may be used to offset future realized capital gains for federal income tax purposes. Any unlimited losses will be required to be utilized prior to the losses which carry an expiration date. Future capital loss carryover utilization in any given year may be subject to Internal Revenue Code limitations. Capital loss carryovers expire as follows:
|

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

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

Municipal Bonds (Munis) Extended Their Outperformance During a Continued Volatile Period
The narrative provided six months ago in our semiannual report letter hasn’t changed much—the key conditions described then extended for another half year. As explained then, widespread concerns about global economic growth sparked sharp financial market volatility. The primary catalyst was China, where slowing economic growth, currency devaluations, and massive monetary policy easing sent shock waves through the global markets. These factors re-emerged in January and early February this year, triggering sell-offs in riskier assets such as stocks and high-yield bonds. In the U.S. stock market, relatively defensive sectors such as utilities, telecommunication services, and consumer discretionary performed best. In the U.S. bond market, high-quality sectors including munis and Treasuries were market leaders.
Consistent with the first six months of the reporting period, munis continued to outperform for the full fiscal year. The broad muni market benefited from its comparatively high overall credit quality, despite defaults in Puerto Rico and financial concerns facing Illinois and New Jersey. We continue to view these as isolated incidents running counter to overall muni credit quality trends. Also, as government bond yields fell globally during the last six months of the reporting period, after-tax muni yields looked attractive, especially for investors in top tax brackets.
We expect many of the factors that kept sovereign bond yields low during the reporting period to persist through the end of the year, keeping U.S. government bond yields range-bound, despite the Federal Reserve’s attempts to raise its interest rate target. We believe those attempts will be muted in the face of continuing global economic, political, and market headwinds. Furthermore, conjecture about Federal Reserve policy and the outcome of the U.S. presidential election, among other factors, could lead to further market volatility, presenting both challenges and opportunities for active investment managers. We continue to believe in a disciplined, diversified, risk-aware investment approach, using professionally managed portfolios to meet financial goals. We appreciate your trust in us.
Sincerely,
Jonathan Thomas
President and Chief Executive Officer
American Century Investments

Performance Summary
Intermediate-Term Tax-Free Bond returned 4.66%* for the 12 months ended May 31, 2016. By comparison, the Barclays 7 Year Municipal Bond Index returned 5.05%. Fund returns reflect operating expenses, while index returns do not.
The fund’s return for the reporting period largely reflected the positive overall performance of the municipal bond (muni) market against a backdrop of ongoing capital market volatility. After struggling in June 2015, the broad muni market posted positive monthly gains for the next 11 months, outperforming the U.S. Treasury market and the broad U.S. taxable investment-grade market for the full 12-month period.
Muni Market Dynamics Aided Performance
Investor concerns about global growth (particularly in China), commodity prices, and central bank monetary decisions created a volatile market climate throughout the reporting period. The U.S. economy continued to exhibit modest growth, but the U.S. Federal Reserve (the Fed) remained focused on the sluggish global landscape and its potential risks to the U.S. economy. This triggered ongoing investor speculation regarding the timing and magnitude of interest rate “normalization” from the Fed. This uncertainty contributed to the period’s market volatility. Ultimately, the Fed delayed its much-anticipated 2015 interest rate hike until the final month of the year, lifting the range for its benchmark short-term interest rate 25 basis points (1 basis point equals 0.01%) to 0.25%-0.50% on December 16. The new year ushered in a fresh round of global growth worries and a severe equity market sell-off. The Fed took an anticipated first-quarter rate hike off the table, and investors gradually curtailed their expectations for additional rate hikes in 2016. The Fed held rates steady through the end of the reporting period, citing concerns about the health of the global economy and weaker-than-expected first-quarter U.S. economic growth as reasons to pursue a “lower for longer” rate strategy. Meanwhile, central banks in Europe, Japan, and China continued to cut interest rates and implement other aggressive stimulus programs in response to weak growth rates and the threat of deflation in those regions.
This environment generally led to positive performance for U.S. Treasuries and most U.S. bond market sectors. Yields on the 10-year Treasury note and the 30-year Treasury bond declined 27 basis points and 23 basis points, respectively, while the yield on the Fed policy-sensitive two-year Treasury note increased 27 basis points. Munis generally tracked the U.S. Treasury market, but factors specific to the municipal market helped munis outperform. In particular, supply and demand dynamics remained favorable, which supported gains. Other than an increase in muni supply early in the period (as issuers rushed to issue or refinance debt ahead of the Fed’s rate hike), supply declined modestly for the period overall. At the same time, demand for munis remained robust due to the tax advantages and perceived “safe-haven” munis offered investors. As of May 31, 2016, muni funds experienced 34 consecutive weeks of positive flows, according to Lipper Inc.
Overall, all major sectors of the muni bond market posted positive returns for the 12-month period. Longer-maturity and higher-quality munis generally performed better than shorter-maturity and lower-quality securities, and revenue bonds outperformed GO (general obligation) bonds.
* All fund returns referenced in this commentary are for Investor Class shares. Performance for other share classes will vary due to differences in fee structure; when Investor Class performance exceeds that of the benchmark, other share classes may not. See page 3 for returns for all share classes.
Market Fundamentals Remained Positive Despite Isolated Credit Events
Despite negative credit events for specific issuers in Puerto Rico, Chicago, New Jersey, and other relatively isolated entities, muni market fundamentals generally remained positive and continued to provide support to the broad market. We believe the main problems facing these issuers are due largely to their own individual circumstances and are not indicative of any particular systemic municipal market problem.
From a broad fiscal standpoint, state and local finances across the U.S. remained relatively healthy during the reporting period, even as revenue growth slowed largely due to weak stock market returns. However, spending restraint has enabled most states to maintain stable credit profiles. From a credit rating perspective, muni credit-rating upgrades continued to slightly outpace downgrades, and the muni default rate remained low. We continue to believe it’s unlikely any states will default, but select, isolated state, local, and commonwealth credit ratings may be pressured by special circumstances.
Security Selection Aided Performance; Maturity Strategy Generated Mixed Results
In terms of sector exposure, we continued to favor revenue bonds versus GO bonds. This positioning aided portfolio performance. Within the revenue bond sector, we continued to overweight hospital, transportation (mainly airports and toll roads), and water and sewer bonds. Geographically, we decreased exposure to Connecticut, Louisiana, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey issuers. We added small positions in Chicago water and wastewater bonds and sold a position in Chicago motor fuel tax bonds. Furthermore, as of May 31, 2016, the portfolio had no exposure to troubled munis issued by the City of Chicago, the Chicago Board of Education, or Puerto Rico.
Our maturity positioning generated mixed results. We generally maintain a “laddered” maturity structure, which seeks broad exposure to different muni maturities to achieve the portfolio’s target weighted average maturity. Early in the period, rate-hike speculation caused longer-maturity yields to increase at a greater pace than shorter-maturity yields, and the muni yield curve steepened. In this environment, the portfolio’s exposure to the longer end of the yield curve weighed on performance. But as the period progressed and additional short-term rate hikes from the Fed became less likely in the near term, yields declined across the curve, particularly at the longer end. The yield curve flattened, and the portfolio’s exposure to intermediate- and longer-maturity yields lifted results. In addition, beginning in December 2015, we tactically increased the portfolio’s duration (price sensitivity to interest rate changes), which also aided performance as longer-maturity yields declined. We used U.S. Treasury futures contracts at times as part of our duration strategy.
Market Volatility Likely to Persist
Looking ahead, we believe U.S. economic fundamentals eventually will prompt the Fed to resume interest-rate normalization. But weaker global economic fundamentals, U.S. dollar strength, and geopolitical risks may delay Fed action and keep rates range-bound. We expect market volatility to persist as investors await additional Fed comments and action on short-term interest rates. Volatility also is likely to escalate as the U.S. presidential campaign heats up and the candidates debate tax and other policies prior to the November election. Mounting market volatility may cause credit spreads (the yield differential between high-quality and low-quality munis of similar maturity) to widen, which may present compelling buying opportunities among lower-quality credits. In this environment, we believe fundamental credit research, active management, and security selection will become increasingly important.

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 December 1, 2015 to May 31, 2016.
Actual Expenses
The table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses for each class. You may use the information, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. First, identify the share class you own. Then simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
If you hold Investor Class shares of any American Century Investments fund, or Institutional Class shares of the American Century Diversified Bond Fund, in an American Century Investments account (i.e., not a financial intermediary or retirement plan account), American Century Investments may charge you a $12.50 semiannual account maintenance fee if the value of those shares is less than $10,000. We will redeem shares automatically in one of your accounts to pay the $12.50 fee. In determining your total eligible investment amount, we will include your investments in all personal accounts (including American Century Investments Brokerage accounts) registered under your Social Security number. Personal accounts include individual accounts, joint accounts, UGMA/UTMA accounts, personal trusts, Coverdell Education Savings Accounts and IRAs (including traditional, Roth, Rollover, SEP-, SARSEP- and SIMPLE-IRAs), and certain other retirement accounts. If you have only business, business retirement, employer-sponsored or American Century Investments Brokerage accounts, you are currently not subject to this fee. If you are subject to the Account Maintenance Fee, your account value could be reduced by the fee amount.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The table also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual expense ratio of each class of your fund and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the actual return of a fund’s share class. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption/exchange fees. Therefore, the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Notes to Financial Statements |
MAY 31, 2016
1. Organization
American Century Municipal 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. Intermediate-Term Tax-Free Bond Fund (the fund) is one fund in a series issued by the trust. The fund’s investment objective is to seek safety of principal and high current income that is exempt from federal income tax.
The fund offers the Investor Class, the Institutional Class, the A Class and the C Class. The A Class may incur an initial sales charge. The A Class and C Class may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge. The share classes differ principally in their respective sales charges and distribution and shareholder servicing expenses and arrangements. The Institutional Class is made available to institutional shareholders or through financial intermediaries whose clients do not require the same level of shareholder and administrative services as shareholders of other classes. As a result, the Institutional Class is charged a lower unified management fee.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the fund in preparation of its financial statements. The fund is an investment company and follows accounting and reporting guidance in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. This may require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Management evaluated the impact of events or transactions occurring through the date the financial statements were issued that would merit recognition or disclosure.
Investment Valuations — The fund determines the fair value of its investments and computes its net asset value per share at the close of regular trading (usually 4 p.m. Eastern time) on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on each day the NYSE is open. The Board of Trustees has adopted valuation policies and procedures to guide the investment advisor in the fund’s investment valuation process and to provide methodologies for the oversight of the fund’s pricing function.
Fixed income securities are valued at the evaluated mean as provided by independent pricing services or at the mean of the most recent bid and asked prices as provided by investment dealers. Municipal securities are valued using market models that consider trade data, quotations from dealers and active market makers, relevant yield curve and spread data, creditworthiness, trade data or market information on comparable securities, and other relevant security specific information.
Open-end management investment companies are valued at the reported net asset value per share. Exchange-traded futures contracts are valued at the settlement price as provided by the appropriate clearing corporation.
If the fund determines that the market price for an investment is not readily available or the valuation methods mentioned above do not reflect an investment’s fair value, such investment is valued as determined in good faith by the Board of Trustees or its delegate, in accordance with policies and procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. In its determination of fair value, the fund may review several factors including, but not limited to, market information regarding the specific investment or comparable investments and correlation with other investment types, futures indices or general market indicators. Circumstances that may cause the fund to use these procedures to value an investment include, but are not limited to: an investment has been declared in default or is distressed; trading in a security has been suspended during the trading day or a security is not actively trading on its principal exchange; prices received from a regular pricing source are deemed unreliable; or there is a foreign market holiday and no trading occurred.
The fund monitors for significant events occurring after the close of an investment’s primary exchange but before the fund’s net asset value per share is determined. Significant events may include, but are not limited to: corporate announcements and transactions; governmental action and political unrest that could impact a specific investment or an investment sector; or armed conflicts, natural disasters and similar events that could affect investments in a specific country or region.
Security Transactions — Security transactions are accounted for as of the trade date. Net realized gains and losses are determined on the identified cost basis, which is also used for federal income tax purposes.
Investment Income — Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis and includes accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums.
Segregated Assets — In accordance with the 1940 Act, the fund segregates assets on its books and records to cover certain types of investments, including, but not limited to, futures contracts and when-issued securities. American Century Investment Management, Inc. (ACIM) (the investment advisor) monitors, on a daily basis, the securities segregated to ensure the fund designates a sufficient amount of liquid assets, marked-to-market daily. The fund may also receive assets or be required to pledge assets at the custodian bank or with a broker for margin requirements on futures contracts.
Income Tax Status — It is the fund’s policy to distribute substantially all net investment income and net realized gains to shareholders and to otherwise qualify as a regulated investment company under provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, no provision has been made for income taxes. The fund files U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S. tax returns as applicable. The fund's tax returns are subject to examination by the relevant taxing authority until expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, which is generally three years from the date of filing but can be longer in certain jurisdictions. At this time, management believes there are no uncertain tax positions which, based on their technical merit, would not be sustained upon examination and for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.
Multiple Class — All shares of the fund represent an equal pro rata interest in the net assets of the class to which such shares belong, and have identical voting, dividend, liquidation and other rights and the same terms and conditions, except for class specific expenses and exclusive rights to vote on matters affecting only individual classes. Income, non-class specific expenses, and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses of the fund are allocated to each class of shares based on their relative net assets.
Distributions to Shareholders — Distributions from net investment income, if any, are declared daily and paid monthly. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are generally declared and paid annually.
Indemnifications — Under the trust’s organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the fund. In addition, in the normal course of business, the fund enters into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against a fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered by management to be remote.
3. Fees and Transactions with Related Parties
Certain officers and trustees of the trust are also officers and/or directors of American Century Companies, Inc. (ACC). The trust's investment advisor, ACIM, the trust's distributor, American Century Investment Services, Inc. (ACIS), and the trust's transfer agent, American Century Services, LLC, are wholly owned, directly or indirectly, by ACC.
Management Fees — The trust has entered into a management agreement with ACIM, under which ACIM provides the fund with investment advisory and management services in exchange for a single, unified management fee (the fee) per class. The agreement provides that all expenses of managing and operating the fund, except distribution and service fees, brokerage expenses, taxes, interest, fees and expenses of the independent trustees (including legal counsel fees), and extraordinary expenses, will be paid by ACIM. The fee is computed and accrued daily based on each class’s daily net assets and paid monthly in arrears. The fee consists of (1) an Investment Category Fee based on the daily net assets of the fund and certain other accounts managed by the investment advisor that are in the same broad investment category as the fund and (2) a Complex Fee based on the assets of all the funds in the American Century Investments family of funds. The rates for the Investment Category Fee range from 0.1625% to 0.2800%. The rates for the Complex Fee range from 0.2500% to 0.3100% for the Investor Class, A Class and C Class. The rates for the Complex Fee range from 0.0500% to 0.1100% for the Institutional Class. The effective annual management fee for each class for the year ended May 31, 2016 was 0.46% for the Investor Class, A Class and C Class and 0.26% for the Institutional Class.
Distribution and Service Fees — The Board of Trustees has adopted a separate Master Distribution and Individual Shareholder Services Plan for each of the A Class and C Class (collectively the plans), pursuant to Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act. The plans provide that the A Class will pay ACIS an annual distribution and service fee of 0.25%. The plans provide that the C Class will pay ACIS an annual distribution and service fee of 1.00%, of which 0.25% is paid for individual shareholder services and 0.75% is paid for distribution services. The fees are computed and accrued daily based on each class’s daily net assets and paid monthly in arrears. The fees are used to pay financial intermediaries for distribution and individual shareholder services. Fees incurred under the plans during the year ended May 31, 2016 are detailed in the Statement of Operations.
Trustees’ Fees and Expenses — The Board of Trustees is responsible for overseeing the investment advisor’s management and operations of the fund. The trustees receive detailed information about the fund and its investment advisor regularly throughout the year, and meet at least quarterly with management of the investment advisor to review reports about fund operations. The fund’s officers do not receive compensation from the fund.
Interfund Transactions — The fund may enter into security transactions with other American Century Investments funds and other client accounts of the investment advisor, in accordance with the 1940 Act rules and procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. The rules and procedures require, among other things, that these transactions be effected at the independent current market price of the security. During the period, the interfund purchases and sales were $38,860,000 and $30,450,000, respectively.
4. Investment Transactions
Purchases and sales of investment securities, excluding short-term investments, for the year ended May 31, 2016 were $1,066,120,208 and $1,176,239,780, respectively.

6. Fair Value Measurements
The fund’s investments valuation process is based on several considerations and may use multiple inputs to determine the fair value of the investments held by the fund. In conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the inputs used to determine a valuation are classified into three broad levels.
| |
• | Level 1 valuation inputs consist of unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical investments. |
| |
• | Level 2 valuation inputs consist of direct or indirect observable market data (including quoted prices for comparable investments, evaluations of subsequent market events, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.). These inputs also consist of quoted prices for identical investments initially expressed in local currencies that are adjusted through translation into U.S. dollars. |
| |
• | Level 3 valuation inputs consist of unobservable data (including a fund’s own assumptions). |
The level classification is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair valuation measurement. The valuation inputs are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in these securities or other financial instruments. There were no significant transfers between levels during the period.
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. Subsequent payments (variation margin) are made or received daily, in cash, by a fund. The variation margin is equal to the daily change in the contract value and is recorded as unrealized gains and losses. A fund recognizes a realized gain or loss when the futures contract is closed or expires. Net realized and unrealized gains or losses occurring during the holding period of futures contracts are a component of net realized gain (loss) on futures contract transactions and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on futures contracts, respectively. One of the risks of entering into futures contracts is the possibility that the change in value of the contract may not correlate with the changes in value of the underlying securities. The fund's average exposure to interest rate risk derivative instruments held during the period was 270 contracts.
At period end, the fund did not have any derivative instruments disclosed on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. For the year ended May 31, 2016, the effect of interest rate risk derivative instruments on the Statement of Operations was $569,130 in net realized gain (loss) on futures contract transactions and $390,823 in change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on futures contracts.
8. Federal Tax Information
The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended May 31, 2016 and May 31, 2015 were as follows:
|
| | | | | | |
| 2016 | 2015 |
Distributions Paid From | | |
Exempt income | $ | 89,758,399 |
| $ | 91,722,751 |
|
Long-term capital gains | — |
| — |
|
The book-basis character of distributions made during the year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. These differences reflect the differing character of certain income items and net realized gains and losses for financial statement and tax purposes, and may result in reclassification among certain capital accounts on the financial statements.
As of May 31, 2016, the federal tax cost of investments and the components of distributable earnings on a tax-basis were as follows: |
| | | |
Federal tax cost of investments | $ | 3,142,135,335 |
|
Gross tax appreciation of investments | $ | 193,982,713 |
|
Gross tax depreciation of investments | (2,364,631 | ) |
Net tax appreciation (depreciation) of investments | 191,618,082 |
|
Net tax appreciation (depreciation) on derivatives | — |
|
Net tax appreciation (depreciation) | $ | 191,618,082 |
|
Other book-to-tax adjustments | $ | (364,064 | ) |
Undistributed exempt income | — |
|
Accumulated short-term capital losses | $ | (24,325,973 | ) |
Accumulated long-term capital losses | $ | (12,923,430 | ) |
The cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was the same as the cost for financial reporting purposes. Other book-to-tax adjustments are attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses on straddle positions.
Accumulated capital losses represent net capital loss carryovers that may be used to offset future realized capital gains for federal income tax purposes. The capital loss carryovers may be carried forward for an unlimited period. Future capital loss carryover utilization in any given year may be subject to Internal Revenue Code limitations.

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

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

Municipal Bonds (Munis) Extended Their Outperformance During a Continued Volatile Period
The narrative provided six months ago in our semiannual report letter hasn’t changed much—the key conditions described then extended for another half year. As explained then, widespread concerns about global economic growth sparked sharp financial market volatility. The primary catalyst was China, where slowing economic growth, currency devaluations, and massive monetary policy easing sent shock waves through the global markets. These factors re-emerged in January and early February this year, triggering sell-offs in riskier assets such as stocks and high-yield bonds. In the U.S. stock market, relatively defensive sectors such as utilities, telecommunication services, and consumer discretionary performed best. In the U.S. bond market, high-quality sectors including munis and Treasuries were market leaders.
Consistent with the first six months of the reporting period, munis continued to outperform for the full fiscal year. The broad muni market benefited from its comparatively high overall credit quality, despite defaults in Puerto Rico and financial concerns facing Illinois and New Jersey. We continue to view these as isolated incidents running counter to overall muni credit quality trends. Also, as government bond yields fell globally during the last six months of the reporting period, after-tax muni yields looked attractive, especially for investors in top tax brackets.
We expect many of the factors that kept sovereign bond yields low during the reporting period to persist through the end of the year, keeping U.S. government bond yields range-bound, despite the Federal Reserve’s attempts to raise its interest rate target. We believe those attempts will be muted in the face of continuing global economic, political, and market headwinds. Furthermore, conjecture about Federal Reserve policy and the outcome of the U.S. presidential election, among other factors, could lead to further market volatility, presenting both challenges and opportunities for active investment managers. We continue to believe in a disciplined, diversified, risk-aware investment approach, using professionally managed portfolios to meet financial goals. We appreciate your trust in us.
Sincerely,
Jonathan Thomas
President and Chief Executive Officer
American Century Investments

Performance Summary
Long-Term Tax-Free returned 5.74%* for the 12 months ended May 31, 2016. By comparison, the Barclays Municipal Bond Index returned 5.87%. Fund returns reflect operating expenses, while index returns do not.
The fund’s return for the reporting period largely reflected the positive overall performance of the municipal bond (muni) market against a backdrop of ongoing capital market volatility. After struggling in June 2015, the broad muni market posted positive monthly gains for the next 11 months, outperforming the U.S. Treasury market and the broad taxable U.S. investment-grade market for the full 12-month period.
Muni Market Dynamics Aided Performance
Investor concerns about global growth (particularly in China), commodity prices, and central bank monetary decisions created a volatile market climate throughout the reporting period. The U.S. economy continued to exhibit modest growth, but the U.S. Federal Reserve (the Fed) remained focused on the sluggish global landscape and its potential risks to the U.S. economy. This triggered ongoing investor speculation regarding the timing and magnitude of interest rate “normalization” from the Fed. This uncertainty contributed to the period’s market volatility. Ultimately, the Fed delayed its much-anticipated 2015 interest rate hike until the final month of the year, lifting the range for its benchmark short-term interest rate 25 basis points (1 basis point equals 0.01%) to 0.25%-0.50% on December 16. The new year ushered in a fresh round of global growth worries and a severe equity market sell-off. The Fed took an anticipated first-quarter rate hike off the table, and investors gradually curtailed their expectations for additional rate hikes in 2016. The Fed held rates steady through the end of the reporting period, citing concerns about the health of the global economy and weaker-than-expected first-quarter U.S. economic growth as reasons to pursue a “lower for longer” rate strategy. Meanwhile, central banks in Europe, Japan, and China continued to cut interest rates and implement other aggressive stimulus programs in response to weak growth rates and the threat of deflation in those regions.
This environment generally led to positive performance for U.S. Treasuries and most U.S. bond market sectors. Yields on the 10-year Treasury note and the 30-year Treasury bond declined 27 basis points and 23 basis points, respectively, while the yield on the Fed policy-sensitive two-year Treasury note increased 27 basis points. Munis generally tracked the U.S. Treasury market, but factors specific to the municipal market helped munis outperform. In particular, supply and demand dynamics remained favorable, which supported gains. Other than an increase in muni supply early in the period (as issuers rushed to issue or refinance debt ahead of the Fed’s rate hike), supply declined modestly for the period overall. At the same time, demand for munis remained robust due to the tax advantages and perceived “safe-haven” munis offered investors. As of May 31, 2016, muni funds experienced 34 consecutive weeks of positive flows, according to Lipper Inc.
Overall, all major sectors of the muni bond market posted positive returns for the 12-month period. Longer-maturity and higher-quality munis generally performed better than shorter-maturity and lower-quality securities, and revenue bonds outperformed GO (general obligation) bonds.
* All fund returns referenced in this commentary are for Investor Class shares. Performance for other share classes will vary due to differences in fee structure; when Investor Class performance exceeds that of the fund's benchmark, other share classes may not. See page 3 for returns for all share classes.
Market Fundamentals Remained Positive Despite Isolated Credit Events
Despite negative credit events for specific issuers in Puerto Rico, Chicago, New Jersey, and other relatively isolated entities, muni market fundamentals generally remained positive and continued to provide support to the broad market. We believe the main problems facing these issuers are due largely to their own individual circumstances and are not indicative of any particular systemic municipal market problem.
From a broad fiscal standpoint, state and local finances across the U.S. remained relatively healthy during the reporting period, even as revenue growth slowed largely due to weak stock market returns. However, spending restraint has enabled most states to maintain stable credit profiles. From a credit rating perspective, muni credit-rating upgrades continued to slightly outpace downgrades, and the muni default rate remained low. We continue to believe it’s unlikely any states will default, but select, isolated state, local, and commonwealth credit ratings may be pressured by special circumstances.
Security Selection Aided Performance; Yield Curve Positioning Led to Mixed Results
In terms of sector exposure, we continued to favor revenue bonds versus GO bonds. This positioning aided portfolio performance. Within the revenue bond sector, we continued to overweight hospital, transportation (mainly airports and toll roads), and water and sewer bonds. Geographically, we decreased exposure to Connecticut, Louisiana, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey issuers. We added small positions in Chicago water and wastewater bonds and sold a position in Chicago motor fuel tax bonds. Furthermore, as of May 31, 2016, the portfolio had no exposure to troubled munis issued by the Chicago Board of Education or Puerto Rico.
Meanwhile, our positioning along the yield curve generated mixed results. Early in the period, rate-hike speculation caused longer-maturity yields to increase at a greater pace than shorter-maturity yields, and the muni yield curve steepened. In this environment, the portfolio’s exposure to the longer end of the yield curve weighed on performance. But as the period progressed and additional short-term rate hikes from the Fed became less likely in the near term, yields declined across the curve, particularly at the longer end. The yield curve flattened, and the portfolio’s exposure to longer-maturity yields lifted results.
Market Volatility Likely to Persist
Looking ahead, we believe U.S. economic fundamentals eventually will prompt the Fed to resume interest-rate normalization. But weaker global economic fundamentals, U.S. dollar strength, and geopolitical risks may delay Fed action and keep rates range-bound. We expect market volatility to persist as investors await additional Fed comments and action on short-term interest rates. Volatility also is likely to escalate as the U.S. presidential campaign heats up and the candidates debate tax and other policies prior to the November election. Mounting market volatility may cause credit spreads (the yield differential between high-quality and low-quality munis of similar maturity) to widen, which may present compelling buying opportunities among lower-quality credits. In this environment, we believe fundamental credit research, active management, and security selection will become increasingly important.

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 December 1, 2015 to May 31, 2016.
Actual Expenses
The table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses for each class. You may use the information, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. First, identify the share class you own. Then simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
If you hold Investor Class shares of any American Century Investments fund, or Institutional Class shares of the American Century Diversified Bond Fund, in an American Century Investments account (i.e., not a financial intermediary or retirement plan account), American Century Investments may charge you a $12.50 semiannual account maintenance fee if the value of those shares is less than $10,000. We will redeem shares automatically in one of your accounts to pay the $12.50 fee. In determining your total eligible investment amount, we will include your investments in all personal accounts (including American Century Investments Brokerage accounts) registered under your Social Security number. Personal accounts include individual accounts, joint accounts, UGMA/UTMA accounts, personal trusts, Coverdell Education Savings Accounts and IRAs (including traditional, Roth, Rollover, SEP-, SARSEP- and SIMPLE-IRAs), and certain other retirement accounts. If you have only business, business retirement, employer-sponsored or American Century Investments Brokerage accounts, you are currently not subject to this fee. If you are subject to the Account Maintenance Fee, your account value could be reduced by the fee amount.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The table also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual expense ratio of each class of your fund and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the actual return of a fund’s share class. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption/exchange fees. Therefore, the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Notes to Financial Statements |
MAY 31, 2016
1. Organization
American Century Municipal 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. Long-Term Tax-Free Fund (the fund) is one fund in a series issued by the trust. The fund’s investment objective is to seek a high level of current income exempt from federal income taxes, consistent with preservation of capital.
The fund offers the Investor Class, the Institutional Class, the A Class and the C Class. The A Class may incur an initial sales charge. The A Class and C Class may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge. The share classes differ principally in their respective sales charges and distribution and shareholder servicing expenses and arrangements. The Institutional Class is made available to institutional shareholders or through financial intermediaries whose clients do not require the same level of shareholder and administrative services as shareholders of other classes. As a result, the Institutional Class is charged a lower unified management fee.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the fund in preparation of its financial statements. The fund is an investment company and follows accounting and reporting guidance in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. This may require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Management evaluated the impact of events or transactions occurring through the date the financial statements were issued that would merit recognition or disclosure.
Investment Valuations — The fund determines the fair value of its investments and computes its net asset value per share at the close of regular trading (usually 4 p.m. Eastern time) on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on each day the NYSE is open. The Board of Trustees has adopted valuation policies and procedures to guide the investment advisor in the fund’s investment valuation process and to provide methodologies for the oversight of the fund’s pricing function.
Fixed income securities are valued at the evaluated mean as provided by independent pricing services or at the mean of the most recent bid and asked prices as provided by investment dealers. Municipal securities are valued using market models that consider trade data, quotations from dealers and active market makers, relevant yield curve and spread data, creditworthiness, trade data or market information on comparable securities, and other relevant security specific information.
Open-end management investment companies are valued at the reported net asset value per share. Exchange-traded futures contracts are valued at the settlement price as provided by the appropriate clearing corporation.
If the fund determines that the market price for an investment is not readily available or the valuation methods mentioned above do not reflect an investment’s fair value, such investment is valued as determined in good faith by the Board of Trustees or its delegate, in accordance with policies and procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. In its determination of fair value, the fund may review several factors including, but not limited to, market information regarding the specific investment or comparable investments and correlation with other investment types, futures indices or general market indicators. Circumstances that may cause the fund to use these procedures to value an investment include, but are not limited to: an investment has been declared in default or is distressed; trading in a security has been suspended during the trading day or a security is not actively trading on its principal exchange; prices received from a regular pricing source are deemed unreliable; or there is a foreign market holiday and no trading occurred.
The fund monitors for significant events occurring after the close of an investment’s primary exchange but before the fund’s net asset value per share is determined. Significant events may include, but are not limited to: corporate announcements and transactions; governmental action and political unrest that could impact a specific investment or an investment sector; or armed conflicts, natural disasters and similar events that could affect investments in a specific country or region.
Security Transactions — Security transactions are accounted for as of the trade date. Net realized gains and losses are determined on the identified cost basis, which is also used for federal income tax purposes.
Investment Income — Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis and includes accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums.
Segregated Assets — In accordance with the 1940 Act, the fund segregates assets on its books and records to cover certain types of investments, including, but not limited to, futures contracts and when-issued securities. American Century Investment Management, Inc. (ACIM) (the investment advisor) monitors, on a daily basis, the securities segregated to ensure the fund designates a sufficient amount of liquid assets, marked-to-market daily. The fund may also receive assets or be required to pledge assets at the custodian bank or with a broker for margin requirements on futures contracts.
Income Tax Status — It is the fund’s policy to distribute substantially all net investment income and net realized gains to shareholders and to otherwise qualify as a regulated investment company under provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, no provision has been made for income taxes. The fund files U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S. tax returns as applicable. The fund's tax returns are subject to examination by the relevant taxing authority until expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, which is generally three years from the date of filing but can be longer in certain jurisdictions. At this time, management believes there are no uncertain tax positions which, based on their technical merit, would not be sustained upon examination and for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.
Multiple Class — All shares of the fund represent an equal pro rata interest in the net assets of the class to which such shares belong, and have identical voting, dividend, liquidation and other rights and the same terms and conditions, except for class specific expenses and exclusive rights to vote on matters affecting only individual classes. Income, non-class specific expenses, and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses of the fund are allocated to each class of shares based on their relative net assets.
Distributions to Shareholders — Distributions from net investment income, if any, are declared daily and paid monthly. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are generally declared and paid annually.
Indemnifications — Under the trust’s organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the fund. In addition, in the normal course of business, the fund enters into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against a fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered by management to be remote.
3. Fees and Transactions with Related Parties
Certain officers and trustees of the trust are also officers and/or directors of American Century Companies, Inc. (ACC). The trust's investment advisor, ACIM, the trust's distributor, American Century Investment Services, Inc. (ACIS), and the trust's transfer agent, American Century Services, LLC, are wholly owned, directly or indirectly, by ACC.
Management Fees — The trust has entered into a management agreement with ACIM, under which ACIM provides the fund with investment advisory and management services in exchange for a single, unified management fee (the fee) per class. The agreement provides that all expenses of managing and operating the fund, except distribution and service fees, brokerage expenses, taxes, interest, fees and expenses of the independent trustees (including legal counsel fees), and extraordinary expenses, will be paid by ACIM. The fee is computed and accrued daily based on each class’s daily net assets and paid monthly in arrears. The fee consists of (1) an Investment Category Fee based on the daily net assets of the fund and certain other accounts managed by the investment advisor that are in the same broad investment category as the fund and (2) a Complex Fee based on the assets of all the funds in the American Century Investments family of funds. The rates for the Investment Category Fee range from 0.1625% to 0.2800%. The rates for the Complex Fee range from 0.2500% to 0.3100% for the Investor Class, A Class and C Class. The rates for the Complex Fee range from 0.0500% to 0.1100% for the Institutional Class. The effective annual management fee for each class for the year ended May 31, 2016 was 0.46% for the Investor Class, A Class and C Class and 0.26% for the Institutional Class.
Distribution and Service Fees — The Board of Trustees has adopted a separate Master Distribution and Individual Shareholder Services Plan for each of the A Class and C Class (collectively the plans), pursuant to Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act. The plans provide that the A Class will pay ACIS an annual distribution and
service fee of 0.25%. The plans provide that the C Class will pay ACIS an annual distribution and service fee of 1.00%, of which 0.25% is paid for individual shareholder services and 0.75% is paid for distribution services. The fees are computed and accrued daily based on each class’s daily net assets and paid monthly in arrears. The fees are used to pay financial intermediaries for distribution and individual shareholder services. Fees incurred under the plans during the year ended May 31, 2016 are detailed in the Statement of Operations.
Trustees’ Fees and Expenses — The Board of Trustees is responsible for overseeing the investment advisor’s management and operations of the fund. The trustees receive detailed information about the fund and its investment advisor regularly throughout the year, and meet at least quarterly with management of the investment advisor to review reports about fund operations. The fund’s officers do not receive compensation from the fund.
Interfund Transactions — The fund may enter into security transactions with other American Century Investments funds and other client accounts of the investment advisor, in accordance with the 1940 Act rules and procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. The rules and procedures require, among other things, that these transactions be effected at the independent current market price of the security. During the period, the interfund purchases and sales were $755,000 and $1,000,000, respectively.
4. Investment Transactions
Purchases and sales of investment securities, excluding short-term investments, for the year ended May 31, 2016 were $10,958,377 and $13,491,410, respectively.
5. Capital Share 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. There were no significant transfers between levels during the period.
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. Subsequent payments (variation margin) are made or received daily, in cash, by a fund. The variation margin is equal to the daily change in the contract value and is recorded as unrealized gains and losses. A fund recognizes a realized gain or loss when the futures contract is closed or expires. Net realized and unrealized gains or losses occurring during the holding period of futures contracts are a component of net realized gain (loss) on futures contract transactions and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on futures contracts, respectively. One of the risks of entering into futures contracts is the possibility that the change in value of the contract may not correlate with the changes in value of the underlying securities. The fund's average exposure to interest rate risk derivative instruments held during the period was 10 contracts.
At period end, the fund did not have any derivative instruments disclosed on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. For the year ended May 31, 2016, the effect of interest rate risk derivative instruments on the Statement of Operations was $(16,332) in net realized gain (loss) on futures contract transactions and $14,644 in change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on futures contracts.
8. Federal Tax Information
The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended May 31, 2016 and May 31, 2015 were as follows:
|
| | | | | | |
| 2016 | 2015 |
Distributions Paid From | | |
Exempt income | $ | 1,845,614 |
| $ | 1,971,525 |
|
Long-term capital gains | — |
| — |
|
The book-basis character of distributions made during the year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. These differences reflect the differing character of certain income items and net realized gains and losses for financial statement and tax purposes, and may result in reclassification among certain capital accounts on the financial statements.
As of May 31, 2016, the federal tax cost of investments and the components of distributable earnings on a tax-basis were as follows:
|
| | | |
Federal tax cost of investments | $ | 51,807,386 |
|
Gross tax appreciation of investments | $ | 5,195,511 |
|
Gross tax depreciation of investments | (528 | ) |
Net tax appreciation (depreciation) of investments | 5,194,983 |
|
Net tax appreciation (depreciation) on derivatives | — |
|
Net tax appreciation (depreciation) | $ | 5,194,983 |
|
Other book-to-tax adjustments | $ | (5,463 | ) |
Undistributed exempt income | — |
|
Accumulated short-term capital losses | $ | (1,204,391 | ) |
Accumulated long-term capital losses | $ | (920,131 | ) |
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales. Other book-to-tax adjustments are attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses on straddle positions.
Accumulated capital losses represent net capital loss carryovers that may be used to offset future realized capital gains for federal income tax purposes. Any unlimited losses will be required to be utilized prior to the losses which carry an expiration date. Future capital loss carryover utilization in any given year may be subject to Internal Revenue Code limitations. Capital loss carryovers expire as follows:
|
| | | | |
2017 | 2018 | 2019 | Unlimited (Short-Term) | Unlimited (Long-Term) |
$(175,946) | $(72,593) | $(71,439) | $(884,413) | $(920,131) |
9. Subsequent Events
On June 14, 2016, the Board of Trustees approved an agreement and plan of reorganization (the reorganization), whereby the net assets of the fund will be transferred to Intermediate-Term Tax-Free Bond Fund, one fund in a series issued by the trust, in exchange for shares of Intermediate-Term Tax-Free Bond Fund. The financial statements and performance history of Intermediate-Term Tax-Free Bond Fund will survive after the reorganization. The reorganization is expected to be effective as of the close of the NYSE on August 19, 2016.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm |
To the Trustees of the American Century Municipal Trust and Shareholders of the Long-Term Tax-Free Fund:
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Long-Term Tax-Free Fund (one of the four funds comprising the American Century Municipal Trust, hereafter referred to as the "Fund") at May 31, 2016, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at May 31, 2016 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
As disclosed in Note 9 of the Notes to Financial Statements, the American Century Long-Term Tax-Free Fund is expected to reorganize into the American Century Intermediate-Term Tax-Free Bond Fund on August 19, 2016.

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

Municipal Bonds (Munis) Extended Their Outperformance During a Continued Volatile Period
The narrative provided six months ago in our semiannual report letter hasn’t changed much—the key conditions described then extended for another half year. As explained then, widespread concerns about global economic growth sparked sharp financial market volatility. The primary catalyst was China, where slowing economic growth, currency devaluations, and massive monetary policy easing sent shock waves through the global markets. These factors re-emerged in January and early February this year, triggering sell-offs in riskier assets such as stocks and high-yield bonds. In the U.S. stock market, relatively defensive sectors such as utilities, telecommunication services, and consumer discretionary performed best. In the U.S. bond market, high-quality sectors including munis and Treasuries were market leaders.
Consistent with the first six months of the reporting period, munis continued to outperform for the full fiscal year. The broad muni market benefited from its comparatively high overall credit quality, despite defaults in Puerto Rico and financial concerns facing Illinois and New Jersey. We continue to view these as isolated incidents running counter to overall muni credit quality trends. Also, as government bond yields fell globally during the last six months of the reporting period, after-tax muni yields looked attractive, especially for investors in top tax brackets.
We expect many of the factors that kept sovereign bond yields low during the reporting period to persist through the end of the year, keeping U.S. government bond yields range-bound, despite the Federal Reserve’s attempts to raise its interest rate target. We believe those attempts will be muted in the face of continuing global economic, political, and market headwinds. Furthermore, conjecture about Federal Reserve policy and the outcome of the U.S. presidential election, among other factors, could lead to further market volatility, presenting both challenges and opportunities for active investment managers. We continue to believe in a disciplined, diversified, risk-aware investment approach, using professionally managed portfolios to meet financial goals. We appreciate your trust in us.
Sincerely,
Jonathan Thomas
President and Chief Executive Officer

Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses |
Investor Class | 0.50% |
The total annual fund operating expenses shown is as stated in the fund’s prospectus current as of the date of this report. The prospectus may vary from the expense ratio shown elsewhere in this report because it is based on a different time period, includes acquired fund fees and expenses, and, if applicable, does not include fee waivers or expense reimbursements.
Data presented reflect past performance. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance shown. Total returns for periods less than one year are not annualized. To obtain performance data current to the most recent month end, please call 1-800-345-2021 or visit americancentury.com. For additional information about the fund, please consult the prospectus.
An investment in the fund is neither insured nor guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Although the fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the fund.
The 7-day current yield more closely reflects the current earnings of the fund than the total return.

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 December 1, 2015 to May 31, 2016.
Actual Expenses
The table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses for each class. You may use the information, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. First, identify the share class you own. Then simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
If you hold Investor Class shares of any American Century Investments fund, or Institutional Class shares of the American Century Diversified Bond Fund, in an American Century Investments account (i.e., not a financial intermediary or retirement plan account), American Century Investments may charge you a $12.50 semiannual account maintenance fee if the value of those shares is less than $10,000. We will redeem shares automatically in one of your accounts to pay the $12.50 fee. In determining your total eligible investment amount, we will include your investments in all personal accounts (including American Century Investments Brokerage accounts) registered under your Social Security number. Personal accounts include individual accounts, joint accounts, UGMA/UTMA accounts, personal trusts, Coverdell Education Savings Accounts and IRAs (including traditional, Roth, Rollover, SEP-, SARSEP- and SIMPLE-IRAs), and certain other retirement accounts. If you have only business, business retirement, employer-sponsored or American Century Investments Brokerage accounts, you are currently not subject to this fee. If you are subject to the Account Maintenance Fee, your account value could be reduced by the fee amount.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The table also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual expense ratio of each class of your fund and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the actual return of a fund’s share class. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption/exchange fees. Therefore, the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

(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. |
| |
(2) | Ending account value assumes the return earned after waiver and would have been lower if a portion of the fees had not been waived. |

Notes to Financial Statements |
MAY 31, 2016
1. Organization
American Century Municipal 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. Tax-Free Money Market Fund (the fund) is one fund in a series issued by the trust. The fund’s investment objective is to seek safety of principal and high current income that is exempt from federal income tax.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the fund in preparation of its financial statements. The fund is an investment company and follows accounting and reporting guidance in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. This may require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Management evaluated the impact of events or transactions occurring through the date the financial statements were issued that would merit recognition or disclosure.
Investment Valuations — The fund determines the fair value of its investments and computes its net asset value per share (NAV) at the close of regular trading (usually 4 p.m. Eastern time) on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on each day the NYSE is open. Investments are generally valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. Open-end management investment companies are valued at the reported NAV per share. If the fund determines that the valuation methods do not reflect an investment’s fair value, such investment is valued as determined in good faith by the Board of Trustees or its delegate, in accordance with policies and procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees.
Security Transactions — Security transactions are accounted for as of the trade date. Net realized gains and losses are determined on the identified cost basis, which is also used for federal income tax purposes.
Investment Income — Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis and includes accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums.
Income Tax Status — It is the fund’s policy to distribute substantially all net investment income and net realized gains to shareholders and to otherwise qualify as a regulated investment company under provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, no provision has been made for income taxes. The fund files U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S. tax returns as applicable. The fund's tax returns are subject to examination by the relevant taxing authority until expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, which is generally three years from the date of filing but can be longer in certain jurisdictions. At this time, management believes there are no uncertain tax positions which, based on their technical merit, would not be sustained upon examination and for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.
Distributions to Shareholders — Distributions from net investment income, if any, are declared daily and paid monthly. The fund may make capital gains distributions to comply with the distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue Code.
Indemnifications — Under the trust’s organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the fund. In addition, in the normal course of business, the fund enters into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against a fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered by management to be remote.
3. Fees and Transactions with Related Parties
Certain officers and trustees of the trust are also officers and/or directors of American Century Companies, Inc. (ACC). The trust's investment advisor, American Century Investment Management, Inc. (ACIM), the trust's distributor, American Century Investment Services, Inc., and the trust's transfer agent, American Century Services, LLC, are wholly owned, directly or indirectly, by ACC.
Management Fees — The trust has entered into a management agreement with ACIM, under which ACIM provides the fund with investment advisory and management services in exchange for a single, unified management fee (the fee). The agreement provides that all expenses of managing and operating the fund, except distribution and service fees, brokerage expenses, taxes, interest, fees and expenses of the independent trustees (including legal counsel fees), and extraordinary expenses, will be paid by ACIM. The fee is computed and accrued daily based on the daily net assets of the fund and paid monthly in arrears. The fee consists of (1) an Investment Category Fee based on the daily net assets of the fund and certain other accounts managed by the investment advisor that are in the same broad investment category as the fund and (2) a Complex Fee based on the assets of all the funds in the American Century Investments family of funds. The rates for the Investment Category Fee range from 0.1570% to 0.2700%. The rates for the Complex Fee range from 0.2500% to 0.3100%. In order to maintain a positive yield, ACIM may voluntarily waive a portion of the management fee on a daily basis. The fee waiver may be revised or terminated at any time by the investment advisor without notice. The effective annual management fee for the year ended May 31, 2016 was 0.49% before waiver and 0.22% after waiver.
Trustees’ Fees and Expenses — The Board of Trustees is responsible for overseeing the investment advisor’s management and operations of the fund. The trustees receive detailed information about the fund and its investment advisor regularly throughout the year, and meet at least quarterly with management of the investment advisor to review reports about fund operations. The fund’s officers do not receive compensation from the fund.
Interfund Transactions — The fund may enter into security transactions with other American Century Investments funds and other client accounts of the investment advisor, in accordance with the 1940 Act rules and procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. The rules and procedures require, among other things, that these transactions be effected at the independent current market price of the security. During the period, the interfund purchases and sales were $27,380,000 and $24,005,000, respectively.
4. Fair Value Measurements
The fund’s investments valuation process is based on several considerations and may use multiple inputs to determine the fair value of the investments held by the fund. In conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the inputs used to determine a valuation are classified into three broad levels.
| |
• | Level 1 valuation inputs consist of unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical investments. |
| |
• | Level 2 valuation inputs consist of direct or indirect observable market data (including quoted prices for comparable investments, evaluations of subsequent market events, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.). These inputs also consist of quoted prices for identical investments initially expressed in local currencies that are adjusted through translation into U.S. dollars. |
| |
• | Level 3 valuation inputs consist of unobservable data (including a fund’s own assumptions). |
The level classification is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair valuation measurement. The valuation inputs are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in these securities or other financial instruments. There were no significant transfers between levels during the period.
As of period end, the fund’s investment securities were classified as Level 2. The Schedule of Investments provides additional information on the fund’s portfolio holdings.
5. Federal Tax Information
The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended May 31, 2016 and May 31, 2015 were as follows:
|
| | | | | | |
| 2016 | 2015 |
Distributions Paid From | | |
Exempt income | $ | 24,922 |
| $ | 15,701 |
|
Taxable ordinary income | — |
| $ | 17,565 |
|
Long-term capital gains | — |
| $ | 600 |
|
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 May 31, 2016, the fund had undistributed ordinary income, undistributed exempt income and accumulated long-term gains for federal tax income purposes of $4,477, $600, and $1,185, respectively.
6. Money Market Fund Reform
In July 2014, the Securities and Exchange Commission adopted amendments to the rules that govern money market mutual funds. The amendments consist of structural and operational reforms intended to make money market funds more resilient for investors. In response to the amendments to the rules, as of July 8, 2016, the fund is only available for purchase by accounts that are beneficially owned by natural persons. Beginning October 14, 2016, the board will have the ability to impose a liquidity fee or suspend redemptions in times of severe market stress. The fund will continue to seek to maintain a stable NAV. Management anticipates there will be no changes to the financial statement disclosures.

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

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