Dear Investor:
Thank you for reviewing this annual report for the period ended March 31, 2019. Annual reports help convey important information about fund returns, including market factors that affected performance during the reporting period. For additional, updated investment and market insights, we encourage you to visit our website, americancentury.com.
Markets Ended Roller-Coaster Period on Upswing
For the first half of the period, U.S. stocks climbed higher, while bond returns headed lower. Robust economic growth, bolstered by federal tax and regulatory reform, and record corporate earnings results fueled risk-on sentiment that drove stock prices higher. Meanwhile, the combination of strong economic data, the Federal Reserve’s (Fed’s) ongoing rate-hike campaign and an uptick in inflation pushed investment-grade bond returns lower.
Market trends began changing in late 2018. Mounting investor concerns about slowing global economic and earnings growth, U.S.-China trade tensions and rising interest rates triggered widespread volatility. Stock prices plunged as investors sought safe-haven investments, including U.S. Treasuries. Furthermore, the Fed issued another rate hike in December, its fourth of the year, and maintained its hawkish outlook. Investors feared the December rate increase and the Fed’s plans for two more rate hikes in 2019 were too aggressive, and risk-off investing remained in favor.
January brought a renewed sense of stability to the markets. Investors’ concerns about growth and trade eased, and the Fed changed course, pausing its rate-hike campaign amid moderating global growth and inflation. Valuations appeared attractive after the late-2018 sell-off, and risk-on investing resumed. In March, the Fed held rates steady again, hinting additional tightening was off the table for 2019. This news drove stock and bond returns higher and left both asset classes on an upward track to end the period. Overall, stocks (S&P 500 Index) overcame their late-2018 nosedive to gain 9.50% for the period. Bonds (Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index) bounced back from losses early in the period to return 4.48%.
We expect volatility to remain a formidable factor as investors react to global growth trends, central bank policy and geopolitical developments. We believe this scenario underscores the importance of using professionally managed portfolios in pursuit of investment goals. We appreciate your continued trust and confidence in us.
Sincerely,
Jonathan Thomas
President and Chief Executive Officer
American Century Investments

Portfolio Managers: Bob Gahagan, Hando Aguilar, Jeff Houston, Brian Howell and Charles Tan
Effective October 31, 2018, Charles Tan joined the portfolio management team, replacing Dave MacEwen, who left the team ahead of his December 31, 2018, retirement.
Performance Summary
Core Plus returned 3.55%* for the 12 months ended March 31, 2019. By comparison, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index gained 4.48%. Fund returns reflect operating expenses, while index returns do not.
Returns for the fund and the index reflect a generally positive, albeit challenging, environment for investment-grade bonds. The 12-month period witnessed a marked shift in Federal Reserve (Fed) policy and investor sentiment toward the U.S. and global economic growth outlook, which influenced performance in the fixed-income market. In the first several months of the period, robust economic growth, rising inflation and the Fed’s steady rate-tightening strategy drove Treasury yields higher. Investment-grade bond returns were generally flat to slightly negative. Meanwhile, risk-on investing remained in favor, and higher-yielding securities outperformed. The environment reversed sharply in late 2018, as worries about future economic and corporate earnings growth, U.S.-China trade negotiations and a surprisingly bullish Fed outlook triggered severe volatility in the equity markets. After climbing to a reporting period high of 3.24% in early November (according to Bloomberg), the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield plunged to 2.68% by the end of December 2018, as investors fled risk assets in favor of perceived safe-haven investments.
The new year brought a new sense of stability to the financial markets. Progress with U.S.-China trade negotiations and better-than-feared U.S. economic and earnings data helped restore some investor optimism. Additionally, the Fed paused its rate-hike campaign in January, seemingly acknowledging its December plan for two rate hikes in 2019 may have been too aggressive. Investors responded enthusiastically to this backdrop, and risk assets returned to favor. Meanwhile, Treasury yields moved modestly lower. Then, at its March monetary policy meeting, the Fed held rates steady and suggested additional tightening was likely off the table for 2019. This news triggered a sharp rally among Treasuries, and the 10-year Treasury note ended March 2019 yielding 2.41%, compared with 2.74% a year earlier.
Overall, the Treasury market rally of late 2018 and early 2019 supported broad U.S. fixed-income gains for the entire 12-month period. Longer-maturity Treasuries and corporate bonds were top performers overall. Core Plus’ out-of-index exposure to global interest rate movements primarily accounted for the fund’s underperformance relative to the index.
Global Interest Rates Position Detracted
Throughout most of 2018, we held a non-index position designed to take advantage of differences in global interest rates. As part of this strategy, we held short positions in European government bond futures, a neutral position in U.S. Treasury futures and a long position in local-currency emerging markets bonds. Initially, we expected European rates to rise from their unusually low

levels and converge with U.S. rates. We also expected select emerging markets rates to remain stable or decline. However, yields in Europe steadily declined, weighing on our short positions in European governments. Additionally, mounting investor concerns about the sustainability of synchronized global growth combined with country-specific issues pressured emerging markets
assets. With the global economy showing signs of slowing and leading central banks maintaining dovish policies, we exited our global rates trade in late 2018.
Sector Allocation, Security Selection, Out-of-Index Positions Aided Performance
We continued to underweight Treasuries and government agencies relative to the index in favor of spread (non-Treasury) sectors, including corporate credit and securitized bonds. This strategy was a key contributor to portfolio performance. In addition, security selection within these allocations generally aided results. Within the corporate sector, our selections among bonds with BBB credit ratings delivered notable performance, largely due to the rally late in the reporting period, which favored riskier securities. Similarly, our out-of-index allocation to high-yield corporate bonds was a top contributor, particularly in the early 2019 risk rally. Within the securitized sector, our selections among non-agency collateralized mortgage obligations and asset-backed securities added value.
Portfolio Positioning
We expect the U.S. economy to continue to grow, but at a more moderate pace (2.0% to 2.5% annualized). However, we expect U.S. economic growth to remain more robust than growth in Europe and Japan. We expect headline inflation to eventually converge with core inflation near 2%. These factors should enable the Fed to remain on hold throughout the remainder of 2019. Against a backdrop of slowing global growth, geopolitical uncertainties (mainly Brexit) and a dovish Fed, we expect the 10-year Treasury yield to fluctuate within a near-term range of 2.35% to 2.80%.
We do not believe the dramatic flattening (and brief) inversion of the yield curve late in the reporting period is an indication of a looming recession. Instead, we believe the curve flattened in response to the Fed’s unexpected pivot to dovish monetary policy. We believe the Fed’s change of course is more reflective of a lack of inflation than a lack of growth. Given the yield curve’s notable flattening, we initiated a position designed to take advantage of our outlook for the curve between two and five years to steepen.
Additionally, we expect to maintain our preference for spread sectors versus Treasuries, remaining mindful of market conditions. For example, in light of the strong rally in risk assets in the final months of the reporting period, we took profits in and reduced exposure to investment-grade and high-yield corporate bonds. We also took profits in credit-sensitive mortgage-backed securities that participated in the rally. We will continue to look for opportunities to tactically add exposure to riskier corporate and securitized securities, as valuations, fundamentals and market conditions dictate. However, from a longer-term, strategic perspective, we plan to reduce spread sector risk, given the potential for spread widening as the credit cycle matures. As always, we favor a bottom-up approach to portfolio management, emphasizing careful security selection.

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 October 1, 2018 to March 31, 2019.
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 I 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.

‡The maximum potential amount the fund could be required to deliver as a seller of credit protection if a credit event occurs as defined under the terms of the agreement is the notional amount. The maximum potential amount may be partially offset by any recovery values of the reference entities and upfront payments received upon entering into the agreement.
^The value for credit default swap agreements serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and represent the likelihood of an expected liability or profit at the period end. Increasing values in absolute terms when compared to the notional amount of the credit default swap agreement represent a deterioration of the referenced entity's credit soundness and an increased likelihood or risk of a credit event occurring as defined in the agreement.

Notes to Financial Statements |
MARCH 31, 2019
1. Organization
American Century Investment Trust (the trust) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company and is organized as a Massachusetts business trust. Core Plus Fund (the fund) is one fund in a series issued by the trust. The fund’s investment objective is to seek to maximize total return. As a secondary objective, the fund seeks a high level of income.
The fund offers the Investor Class, I Class, A Class, C Class, R Class and R5 Class. The A Class may incur an initial sales charge. The A Class and C Class may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge. Sale of the I Class commenced on April 10, 2017.
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. Corporate bonds, U.S. Treasury and Government Agency securities, convertible bonds, bank loan obligations, municipal securities, and sovereign governments and agencies are valued using market models that consider trade data, quotations from dealers and active market makers, relevant yield curve and spread data, creditworthiness, trade data or market information on comparable securities, and other relevant security specific information. Mortgage-related and asset-backed securities are valued based on models that consider trade data, prepayment and default projections, benchmark yield and spread data and estimated cash flows of each tranche of the issuer. Collateralized loan obligations are valued based on discounted cash flow models that consider trade and economic data, prepayment assumptions and default projections. Commercial paper is valued using a curve-based approach that considers money market rates for specific instruments, programs, currencies and maturity points from a variety of active market makers. Fixed income securities initially expressed in local currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the mean of the appropriate currency exchange rate at the close of the NYSE as provided by an independent pricing service.
Open-end management investment companies are valued at the reported net asset value per share. Repurchase agreements are valued at cost, which approximates fair value. Exchange-traded futures contracts are valued at the settlement price as provided by the appropriate exchange. Swap agreements are valued at an evaluated mean as provided by independent pricing services or independent brokers. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are valued at the mean of the appropriate forward exchange rate at the close of the NYSE as provided by an independent pricing service. Investments initially expressed in local currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the mean of the appropriate currency exchange rate at the close of the NYSE as provided by an independent pricing service.
If the 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 paydown gain (loss) and accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums. Inflation adjustments related to inflation-linked debt securities are reflected as interest income.
Foreign Currency Translations — All assets and liabilities initially expressed in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at prevailing exchange rates at period end. The fund may enter into spot foreign currency exchange contracts to facilitate transactions denominated in a foreign currency. Purchases and sales of investment securities, dividend and interest income, spot foreign currency exchange contracts, and expenses are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. Net realized and unrealized foreign currency exchange gains or losses related to investment securities are a component of net realized gain (loss) on investment transactions and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments, respectively.
Repurchase Agreements — The fund may enter into repurchase agreements with institutions that American Century Investment Management, Inc. (ACIM) (the investment advisor) has determined are creditworthy pursuant to criteria adopted by the Board of Trustees. The fund requires that the collateral, represented by securities, received in a repurchase transaction be transferred to the custodian in a manner sufficient to enable the fund to obtain those securities in the event of a default under the repurchase agreement. ACIM monitors, on a daily basis, the securities transferred to ensure the value, including accrued interest, of the securities under each repurchase agreement is equal to or greater than amounts owed to the fund under each repurchase agreement.
Joint Trading Account — Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the fund, along with certain other funds in the American Century Investments family of funds, may transfer uninvested cash balances into a joint trading account. These balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Agency obligations.
Forward Commitments — The fund may engage in securities transactions on a forward commitment basis. In these transactions, the securities’ prices and yields are fixed on the date of the commitment. The fund may sell a to-be-announced (TBA) security and at the same time make a commitment to purchase the same security at a future date at a specified price. Conversely, the fund may purchase a TBA security and at the same time make a commitment to sell the same security at a future date at a specified price. These types of transactions are known as “TBA roll” transactions and are accounted for as purchases and sales. The fund will segregate cash, cash equivalents or other appropriate liquid securities on its records in amounts sufficient to meet the purchase price.
Segregated Assets — In accordance with the 1940 Act, the fund segregates assets on its books and records to cover certain types of investment securities and other financial instruments. ACIM 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 collateral requirements.
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 difference in the fee among the classes is a result of their separate arrangements for non-Rule 12b-1 shareholder services. It is not the result of any difference in advisory or custodial fees or other expenses related to the management of the fund’s assets, which do not vary by class. The fee consists of (1) an Investment Category Fee based on the daily net assets of the fund and certain other accounts managed by the investment advisor that are in the same broad investment category as the fund and (2) a Complex Fee based on the assets of all the funds in the American Century Investments family of funds. From August 1, 2018 through March 31, 2019, the investment advisor agreed to waive 0.10% of the fund's management fee. The investment advisor expects this waiver to continue until July 31, 2019 and cannot terminate it prior to such date without the approval of the Board of Trustees.
The Investment Category Fee range, the Complex Fee range and the effective annual management fee before and after waiver for each class for the period ended March 31, 2019 are as follows:
|
| | | | |
| | | Effective Annual Management Fee |
| Investment Category Fee Range | Complex Fee Range | Before Waiver | After Waiver |
Investor Class | 0.3425% to 0.4600% | 0.2500% to 0.3100% | 0.64% | 0.57% |
I Class | 0.1500% to 0.2100% | 0.54% | 0.47% |
A Class | 0.2500% to 0.3100% | 0.64% | 0.57% |
C Class | 0.2500% to 0.3100% | 0.64% | 0.57% |
R Class | 0.2500% to 0.3100% | 0.64% | 0.57% |
R5 Class | 0.0500% to 0.1100% | 0.44% | 0.37% |
Distribution and Service Fees — The Board of Trustees has adopted a separate Master Distribution and Individual Shareholder Services Plan for each of the A Class, C Class and R Class (collectively the plans), pursuant to Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act. The plans provide that the A Class will pay ACIS an annual distribution and service fee of 0.25%. The plans provide that the C Class will pay ACIS an annual distribution and service fee of 1.00%, of which 0.25% is paid for individual shareholder services and 0.75% is paid for distribution services. The plans provide that the R Class will pay ACIS an annual distribution and service fee of 0.50%. The fees are computed and accrued daily based on each class’s daily net assets and paid monthly in arrears. The fees are used to pay financial intermediaries for distribution and individual shareholder services. Fees incurred under the plans during the period ended March 31, 2019 are detailed in the Statement of Operations.
Trustees’ Fees and Expenses — The Board of Trustees is responsible for overseeing the investment advisor’s management and operations of the fund. The trustees receive detailed information about the fund and its investment advisor regularly throughout the year, and meet at least quarterly with management of the investment advisor to review reports about fund operations. The fund’s officers do not receive compensation from the fund.
Interfund Transactions — The fund may enter into security transactions with other American Century Investments funds and other client accounts of the investment advisor, in accordance with the 1940 Act rules and procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. The rules and procedures require, among other things, that these transactions be effected at the independent current market price of the security. There were no interfund transactions during the period.
4. Investment Transactions
Purchases of investment securities, excluding short-term investments, for the period ended March 31, 2019 totaled $206,016,720, of which $177,587,761 represented U.S. Treasury and Government Agency obligations.
Sales of investment securities, excluding short-term investments, for the period ended March 31, 2019 totaled $221,865,792, of which $164,700,716 represented U.S. Treasury and Government Agency obligations.

6. Fair Value Measurements
The fund’s investments valuation process is based on several considerations and may use multiple inputs to determine the fair value of the investments held by the fund. In conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the inputs used to determine a valuation are classified into three broad levels.
| |
• | Level 1 valuation inputs consist of unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical investments. |
| |
• | Level 2 valuation inputs consist of direct or indirect observable market data (including quoted prices for comparable investments, evaluations of subsequent market events, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.). These inputs also consist of quoted prices for identical investments initially expressed in local currencies that are adjusted through translation into U.S. dollars. |
| |
• | Level 3 valuation inputs consist of unobservable data (including a fund’s own assumptions). |
The level classification is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair valuation measurement. The valuation inputs are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in these securities or other financial instruments.
The following is a summary of the level classifications as of period end. The Schedule of Investments provides additional information on the fund’s portfolio holdings.

7. Derivative Instruments
Credit Risk — The fund is subject to credit risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The value of a bond generally declines as the credit quality of its issuer declines. Credit default swap agreements enable a fund to buy/sell protection against a credit event of a specific issuer or index. A fund may attempt to enhance returns by selling protection or attempt to mitigate credit risk by buying protection. The buyer/seller of credit protection against a security or basket of securities may pay/receive an up-front or periodic payment to compensate for/against potential default events. Changes in value, including the periodic amounts of interest to be paid or received on swap agreements, are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on swap agreements. Upon entering into a centrally cleared swap, a fund is required to deposit cash or securities (initial margin) with a financial intermediary in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the notional amount. Subsequent payments (variation margin) are made or received daily, in cash, by a fund. The variation margin is equal to the daily change in the value and is a component of unrealized gains and losses. Realized gain or loss is recorded upon receipt or payment of a periodic settlement or termination of swap agreements. Net realized and unrealized gains or losses occurring during the holding period of swap agreements are a component of net realized gain (loss) on swap agreement transactions and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on swap agreements, respectively. The risks of entering into swap agreements include the possible lack of liquidity, failure of the counterparty to meet its obligations, and that there may be unfavorable changes in the underlying investments or instruments. The fund's average notional amount held during the period was $3,043,333.
Foreign Currency Risk — The fund is subject to foreign currency exchange rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The value of foreign investments held by a fund may be significantly affected by changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The dollar value of a foreign security generally decreases when the value of the dollar rises against the foreign currency in which the security is denominated and tends to increase when the value of the dollar declines against such foreign currency. A fund may enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts to reduce a fund's exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations or to gain exposure to the fluctuations in the value of foreign currencies. The net U.S. dollar value of foreign currency underlying all contractual commitments held by a fund and the resulting unrealized appreciation or depreciation are determined daily. Realized gain or loss is recorded upon the termination of the contract. Net realized and unrealized gains or losses occurring during the holding period of forward foreign currency exchange contracts are a component of net realized gain (loss) on forward foreign currency exchange contract transactions and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on forward foreign currency exchange contracts, respectively. A fund bears the risk of an unfavorable change in the foreign currency exchange rate underlying the forward contract. Additionally, losses, up to the fair value, may arise if the counterparties do not perform under the contract terms. The fund's average U.S. dollar exposure to foreign currency risk derivative instruments held during the period was $29,342,645.
Interest Rate Risk — The fund is subject to interest rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. A fund may enter into futures contracts or interest rate swap agreements in order to manage its exposure to changes in market conditions. The value of bonds generally declines as interest rates rise. The risks of entering into interest rate risk derivative instruments include the possible lack of liquidity, failure of the counterparty to meet its obligations, and that there may be unfavorable changes in the underlying investments or instruments.
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. The fund's average notional exposure to these interest rate risk derivative instruments held during the period was $16,209,856 futures contracts purchased and $16,120,934 futures contracts sold.
A fund may enter into interest rate swap agreements to gain exposure to declines in interest rates, to protect against increases in interest rates, or to maintain its ability to generate income at prevailing interest rates. A fund will segregate cash, cash equivalents or other appropriate liquid securities on its records in amounts sufficient to meet requirements. Changes in value, including the periodic amounts of interest to be paid or received on swap agreements, are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on swap agreements. Upon entering into a centrally cleared swap, a fund is required to deposit cash or securities (initial margin) with a financial intermediary in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the notional amount. Subsequent payments (variation margin) are made or received daily, in cash, by a fund. The variation margin is equal to the daily change in the value and is a component of unrealized gains and losses. Realized gain or loss is recorded upon receipt or payment of a periodic settlement or termination of swap agreements. Net realized and unrealized gains or losses occurring during the holding period of swap agreements are a component of net realized gain (loss) on swap agreement transactions and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on swap agreements, respectively. The fund's average notional amount on interest rate swap agreements held during the period was $3,238,104.
Other Contracts — A fund may enter into total return swap agreements in order to attempt to obtain or preserve a particular return or spread at a lower cost than obtaining a return or spread through purchases and/or sales of instruments in other markets or gain exposure to certain markets in the most economical way possible. A fund will segregate cash, cash equivalents or other appropriate liquid securities on its records in amounts sufficient to meet requirements. Changes in value, including the periodic amounts of interest to be paid or received on swap agreements, are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on swap agreements. Upon entering into a centrally cleared swap, a fund is required to deposit cash or securities (initial margin) with a financial intermediary in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the notional amount. Subsequent payments (variation margin) are made or received daily, in cash, by a fund. The variation margin is equal to the daily change in the value and is a component of unrealized gains and losses. Realized gain or loss is recorded upon receipt or payment of a periodic settlement or termination of swap agreements. Net realized and unrealized gains or losses occurring during the holding period of swap agreements are a component of net realized gain (loss) on swap agreement transactions and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on swap agreements, respectively. The risks of entering into swap agreements include the possible lack of liquidity, failure of the counterparty to meet its obligations, and that there may be unfavorable changes in the underlying investments or instruments, including inflationary risk. The fund's average notional amount held during the period was $5,400,000.

8. Risk Factors
There are certain risks involved in investing in foreign securities. These risks include those resulting from political events (such as civil unrest, national elections and imposition of exchange controls), social and economic events (such as labor strikes and rising inflation), and natural disasters. Securities of foreign issuers may be less liquid and more volatile. Investing in emerging markets or a significant portion of assets in one country or region may accentuate these risks.
The fund’s investment process may result in high portfolio turnover, which could mean high transaction costs, affecting both performance and capital gains tax liabilities to investors.
9. Federal Tax Information
The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018 were as follows:
|
| | | | | | |
| 2019 | 2018 |
Distributions Paid From | | |
Ordinary income | $ | 5,341,863 |
| $ | 4,146,713 |
|
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 period end, the federal tax cost of investments and the components of distributable earnings on a tax-basis were as follows:
|
| | | |
Federal tax cost of investments | $ | 145,690,355 |
|
Gross tax appreciation of investments | $ | 2,525,004 |
|
Gross tax depreciation of investments | (947,020 | ) |
Net tax appreciation (depreciation) of investments | 1,577,984 |
|
Net tax appreciation (depreciation) on derivatives and translation of assets and liabilities in foreign currencies | (11,401 | ) |
Net tax appreciation (depreciation) | $ | 1,566,583 |
|
Other book-to-tax adjustments | $ | (3,612 | ) |
Undistributed ordinary income | — |
|
Accumulated short-term capital losses | $ | (3,308,094 | ) |
Accumulated long-term capital losses
| $ | (1,424,478 | ) |
Late-year ordinary loss deferral | $ | (546,258 | ) |
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is attributable primarily to the realization for tax purposes of unrealized gains (losses) on futures contracts. 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.
Loss deferrals represent certain qualified losses that the fund has elected to treat as having been incurred in the following fiscal year for federal income tax purposes.
10. Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-08, “Receivables - Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20), Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities” (ASU 2017-08). ASU 2017-08 amends the amortization period for certain purchased callable debt securities held at a premium, shortening such period to the earliest call date. The amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Management is currently evaluating the impact that adopting ASU 2017-08 will have on the financial statements.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm |
To the Board of Trustees of American Century Investment Trust and Shareholders of Core Plus Fund:
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of Core Plus Fund (one of the funds constituting American Century Investment Trust, referred to hereafter as the “Fund”) as of March 31, 2019, the related statement of operations for the year ended March 31, 2019, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended March 31, 2019, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of March 31, 2019, 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 ended March 31, 2019 and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of March 31, 2019 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have served as the auditor of one or more investment companies in American Century Investments since 1997.
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 Jonathan S. Thomas, 16; and Ronald J. Gilson, 9) 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 Jonathan S. Thomas is 1665 Charleston Road, Mountain View, California 94043. The mailing address for Jonathan S. Thomas is 4500 Main Street, Kansas City, Missouri 64111.

Retirement Account Information
As required by law, distributions you receive from certain retirement accounts are subject to federal income tax withholding, unless you elect not to have withholding apply*. Tax will be withheld on the total amount withdrawn even though you may be receiving amounts that are not subject to withholding, such as nondeductible contributions. In such case, excess amounts of withholding could occur. You may adjust your withholding election so that a greater or lesser amount will be withheld.
If you don’t want us to withhold on this amount, you must notify us to not withhold the federal income tax. You may notify us in writing or in certain situations by telephone or through other electronic means. For systematic withdrawals, your withholding election will remain in effect until revoked or changed by filing a new election. You have the right to revoke your election at any time and change your withholding percentage for future distributions.
Remember, even if you elect not to have income tax withheld, you are liable for paying income tax on the taxable portion of your withdrawal. If you elect not to have income tax withheld or you don’t have enough income tax withheld, you may be responsible for payment of estimated tax. You may incur penalties under the estimated tax rules if your withholding and estimated tax payments are not sufficient. You can reduce or defer the income tax on a distribution by directly or indirectly rolling such distribution over to another IRA or eligible plan. You should consult your tax advisor for additional information.
State tax will be withheld if, at the time of your distribution, your address is within one of the mandatory withholding states and you have federal income tax withheld (or as otherwise required by state law). State taxes will be withheld from your distribution in accordance with the respective state rules.
*Some 403(b), 457 and qualified retirement plan distributions may be subject to 20% mandatory withholding, as they are subject to special tax and withholding rules. Your plan administrator or plan sponsor is required to provide you with a special tax notice explaining those rules at the time you request a distribution. If applicable, federal and/or state taxes may be withheld from your distribution amount.

Dear Investor:
Thank you for reviewing this annual report for the period ended March 31, 2019. Annual reports help convey important information about fund returns, including market factors that affected performance during the reporting period. For additional, updated investment and market insights, we encourage you to visit our website, americancentury.com.
Markets Ended Roller-Coaster Period on Upswing
For the first half of the period, U.S. stocks climbed higher, while bond returns headed lower. Robust economic growth, bolstered by federal tax and regulatory reform, and record corporate earnings results fueled risk-on sentiment that drove stock prices higher. Meanwhile, the combination of strong economic data, the Federal Reserve’s (Fed’s) ongoing rate-hike campaign and an uptick in inflation pushed investment-grade bond returns lower.
Market trends began changing in late 2018. Mounting investor concerns about slowing global economic and earnings growth, U.S.-China trade tensions and rising interest rates triggered widespread volatility. Stock prices plunged as investors sought safe-haven investments, including U.S. Treasuries. Furthermore, the Fed issued another rate hike in December, its fourth of the year, and maintained its hawkish outlook. Investors feared the December rate increase and the Fed’s plans for two more rate hikes in 2019 were too aggressive, and risk-off investing remained in favor.
January brought a renewed sense of stability to the markets. Investors’ concerns about growth and trade eased, and the Fed changed course, pausing its rate-hike campaign amid moderating global growth and inflation. Valuations appeared attractive after the late-2018 sell-off, and risk-on investing resumed. In March, the Fed held rates steady again, hinting additional tightening was off the table for 2019. This news drove stock and bond returns higher and left both asset classes on an upward track to end the period. Overall, stocks (S&P 500 Index) overcame their late-2018 nosedive to gain 9.50% for the period. Bonds (Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index) bounced back from losses early in the period to return 4.48%.
We expect volatility to remain a formidable factor as investors react to global growth trends, central bank policy and geopolitical developments. We believe this scenario underscores the importance of using professionally managed portfolios in pursuit of investment goals. We appreciate your continued trust and confidence in us.
Sincerely,
Jonathan Thomas
President and Chief Executive Officer
American Century Investments

Portfolio Managers: Bob Gahagan, Hando Aguilar, Jeff Houston, Brian Howell and Charles Tan
Effective October 31, 2018, Charles Tan joined the portfolio management team, replacing Dave MacEwen, who left the team ahead of his December 31, 2018 retirement.
Performance Summary
Diversified Bond returned 3.15%* for the 12 months ended March 31, 2019. By comparison, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index returned 4.48%. Fund returns reflect operating expenses, while index returns do not.
Returns for the fund and the index reflect a generally positive, albeit challenging, environment for investment-grade bonds. The 12-month period witnessed a marked shift in Federal Reserve (Fed) policy and investor sentiment toward the U.S. and global economic growth outlook, which influenced performance in the fixed-income market. In the first several months of the period, robust economic growth, rising inflation and the Fed’s steady rate-tightening strategy drove Treasury yields higher. Investment-grade bond returns were generally flat to slightly negative. Meanwhile, risk-on investing remained in favor, and higher-yielding securities outperformed. The environment reversed sharply in late 2018, as worries about future economic and corporate earnings growth, U.S.-China trade negotiations and a surprisingly bullish Fed outlook triggered severe volatility in the equity markets. After climbing to a reporting period high of 3.24% in early November (according to Bloomberg), the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield plunged to 2.68% by the end of December 2018, as investors fled risk assets in favor of perceived safe-haven investments.
The new year brought a new sense of stability to the financial markets. Progress with U.S.-China trade negotiations and better-than-feared U.S. economic and earnings data helped restore some investor optimism. Additionally, the Fed paused its rate-hike campaign in January, seemingly acknowledging its December plan for two rate hikes in 2019 may have been too aggressive. Investors responded enthusiastically to this backdrop, and risk assets returned to favor. Meanwhile, Treasury yields moved modestly lower. Then, at its March monetary policy meeting, the Fed held rates steady and suggested additional tightening was likely off the table for 2019. This news triggered a sharp rally among Treasuries, and the 10-year Treasury note ended March 2019 yielding 2.41%, compared with 2.74% a year earlier.
Overall, the Treasury market rally of late 2018 and early 2019 supported broad U.S. fixed-income gains for the entire 12-month period. Longer-maturity Treasuries and corporate bonds were top performers. Diversified Bond’s out-of-index exposure to global interest rate movements primarily accounted for the fund’s underperformance relative to the index.
Global Interest Rates Position Detracted
Throughout most of 2018, we held a non-index position designed to take advantage of differences in global interest rates. As part of this strategy, we held short positions in European government bond futures, a neutral position in U.S. Treasury futures and a long position in local-currency

emerging markets bonds. Initially, we expected European rates to rise from their unusually low levels and converge with U.S. rates. We also expected select emerging markets rates to remain stable or decline. However, yields in Europe steadily declined, weighing on our short positions in European governments. Additionally, mounting investor concerns about the sustainability of synchronized global growth combined with country-specific issues pressured emerging markets assets. With the global economy showing signs of slowing and leading central banks maintaining dovish policies, we exited our global rates trade in late 2018.
Sector Allocation, Security Selection Were Mixed
We continued to underweight Treasuries and government agencies relative to the index in favor of spread (non-Treasury) sectors, including corporate credit and securitized bonds. This strategy delivered mixed results. Our overweight position in the securitized sector contributed to relative results, while our overweight to investment-grade corporate bonds modestly detracted.
Security selection within these allocations also was mixed. Within the investment-grade corporate sector, our selections contributed to results. In particular, our corporate bond holdings with BBB credit ratings delivered robust performance late in the reporting period. Conversely, our selections in the securitized sector detracted from results.
Meanwhile, our out-of-index allocation to high-yield corporate bonds was flat, as positive performance in the first half of the reporting period combined with the early 2019 risk rally offset the effects of the high-yield sell-off in late 2018.
Portfolio Positioning
We expect the U.S. economy to continue to grow, but at a more moderate pace (2.0% to 2.5% annualized). However, we expect U.S. economic growth to remain more robust than growth in Europe and Japan. We expect headline inflation to eventually converge with core inflation near 2%. These factors should enable the Fed to remain on hold throughout the remainder of 2019. Against a backdrop of slowing global growth, geopolitical uncertainties (mainly Brexit) and a dovish Fed, we expect the 10-year Treasury yield to fluctuate within a near-term range of 2.35% to 2.80%.
We do not believe the dramatic flattening (and brief) inversion of the yield curve late in the reporting period is an indication of a looming recession. Instead, we believe the curve flattened in response to the Fed’s unexpected pivot to dovish monetary policy. We believe the Fed’s change of course is more reflective of a lack of inflation than a lack of growth. Given the yield curve’s notable flattening, we initiated a position designed to take advantage of our outlook for the curve between two and five years to steepen.
Additionally, we expect to maintain our preference for spread sectors versus Treasuries, remaining mindful of market conditions. For example, in light of the strong rally in risk assets in the final months of the reporting period, we took profits in and reduced exposure to investment-grade and high-yield corporate bonds. We also took profits in credit-sensitive mortgage-backed securities that participated in the rally. We will continue to look for opportunities to tactically add exposure to riskier corporate and securitized securities, as valuations, fundamentals and market conditions dictate. However, from a longer-term, strategic perspective, we plan to reduce spread sector risk, given the potential for spread widening as the credit cycle matures. As always, we favor a bottom-up approach to portfolio management, emphasizing careful security selection.

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 October 1, 2018 to March 31, 2019.
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 I 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.

MARCH 31, 2019
1. Organization
American Century Investment Trust (the trust) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company and is organized as a Massachusetts business trust. Diversified Bond Fund (the fund) is one fund in a series issued by the trust. The fund’s investment objective is to seek a high level of income by investing in non-money market debt securities.
The fund offers the Investor Class, I Class, Y Class, A Class, C Class, R Class, R5 Class and R6 Class. The A Class may incur an initial sales charge. The A Class and C Class may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge. Sale of the Y Class and R5 Class commenced on April 10, 2017.
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. Corporate bonds, U.S. Treasury and Government Agency securities, convertible bonds, bank loan obligations, municipal securities, and sovereign governments and agencies are valued using market models that consider trade data, quotations from dealers and active market makers, relevant yield curve and spread data, creditworthiness, trade data or market information on comparable securities, and other relevant security specific information. Mortgage-related and asset-backed securities are valued based on models that consider trade data, prepayment and default projections, benchmark yield and spread data and estimated cash flows of each tranche of the issuer. Collateralized loan obligations are valued based on discounted cash flow models that consider trade and economic data, prepayment assumptions and default projections. Commercial paper is valued using a curve-based approach that considers money market rates for specific instruments, programs, currencies and maturity points from a variety of active market makers. Fixed income securities initially expressed in local currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the mean of the appropriate currency exchange rate at the close of the NYSE as provided by an independent pricing service.
Open-end management investment companies are valued at the reported net asset value per share. Repurchase agreements are valued at cost, which approximates fair value. Exchange-traded futures contracts are valued at the settlement price as provided by the appropriate exchange. Swap agreements are valued at an evaluated mean as provided by independent pricing services or independent brokers. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are valued at the mean of the appropriate forward exchange rate at the close of the NYSE as provided by an independent pricing service. Investments initially expressed in local currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the mean of the appropriate currency exchange rate at the close of the NYSE as provided by an independent pricing service.
If the 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 paydown gain (loss) and accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums. Inflation adjustments related to inflation-linked debt securities are reflected as interest income.
Foreign Currency Translations — All assets and liabilities initially expressed in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at prevailing exchange rates at period end. The fund may enter into spot foreign currency exchange contracts to facilitate transactions denominated in a foreign currency. Purchases and sales of investment securities, dividend and interest income, spot foreign currency exchange contracts, and expenses are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. Net realized and unrealized foreign currency exchange gains or losses related to investment securities are a component of net realized gain (loss) on investment transactions and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments, respectively.
Forward Commitments — The fund may engage in securities transactions on a forward commitment basis. In these transactions, the securities’ prices and yields are fixed on the date of the commitment. The fund may sell a to-be-announced (TBA) security and at the same time make a commitment to purchase the same security at a future date at a specified price. Conversely, the fund may purchase a TBA security and at the same time make a commitment to sell the same security at a future date at a specified price. These types of transactions are known as “TBA roll” transactions and are accounted for as purchases and sales. The fund will segregate cash, cash equivalents or other appropriate liquid securities on its records in amounts sufficient to meet the purchase price.
Repurchase Agreements — The fund may enter into repurchase agreements with institutions that American Century Investment Management, Inc. (ACIM) (the investment advisor) has determined are creditworthy pursuant to criteria adopted by the Board of Trustees. The fund requires that the collateral, represented by securities, received in a repurchase transaction be transferred to the custodian in a manner sufficient to enable the fund to obtain those securities in the event of a default under the repurchase agreement. ACIM monitors, on a daily basis, the securities transferred to ensure the value, including accrued interest, of the securities under each repurchase agreement is equal to or greater than amounts owed to the fund under each repurchase agreement.
Joint Trading Account — Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the fund, along with certain other funds in the American Century Investments family of funds, may transfer uninvested cash balances into a joint trading account. These balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Agency obligations.
Segregated Assets — In accordance with the 1940 Act, the fund segregates assets on its books and records to cover certain types of investment securities and other financial instruments. ACIM 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 collateral requirements.
Income Tax Status — It is the fund’s policy to distribute substantially all net investment income and net realized gains to shareholders and to otherwise qualify as a regulated investment company under provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, no provision has been made for income taxes. The fund files U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S. tax returns as applicable. The fund's tax returns are subject to examination by the relevant taxing authority until expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, which is generally three years from the date of filing but can be longer in certain jurisdictions. At this time, management believes there are no uncertain tax positions which, based on their technical merit, would not be sustained upon examination and for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.
Multiple Class — All shares of the fund represent an equal pro rata interest in the net assets of the class to which such shares belong, and have identical voting, dividend, liquidation and other rights and the same terms and conditions, except for class specific expenses and exclusive rights to vote on matters affecting only individual classes. Income, non-class specific expenses, and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses of the fund are allocated to each class of shares based on their relative net assets.
Distributions to Shareholders — Distributions from net investment income, if any, are declared daily and paid monthly. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are generally declared and paid annually.
Indemnifications — Under the trust’s organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the fund. In addition, in the normal course of business, the fund enters into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against a fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered by management to be remote.
3. Fees and Transactions with Related Parties
Certain officers and trustees of the trust are also officers and/or directors of American Century Companies, Inc. (ACC). The trust's investment advisor, ACIM, the trust's distributor, American Century Investment Services, Inc. (ACIS), and the trust's transfer agent, American Century Services, LLC, are wholly owned, directly or indirectly, by ACC. Various funds issued by American Century Asset Allocation Portfolios, Inc. own, in aggregate, 21% of the shares of the fund.
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 difference in the fee among the classes is a result of their separate arrangements for non-Rule 12b-1 shareholder services. It is not the result of any difference in advisory or custodial fees or other expenses related to the management of the fund’s assets, which do not vary by class. The fee consists of (1) an Investment Category Fee based on the daily net assets of the fund and certain other accounts managed by the investment advisor that are in the same broad investment category as the fund and (2) a Complex Fee based on the assets of all the funds in the American Century Investments family of funds.
The Investment Category Fee range, the Complex Fee range and the effective annual management fee for each class for the period ended March 31, 2019 are as follows:
|
| | | |
| Investment Category Fee Range | Complex Fee Range | Effective Annual Management Fee |
Investor Class | 0.2925% to 0.4100%
| 0.2500% to 0.3100% | 0.59% |
I Class | 0.0500% to 0.1100% | 0.39% |
Y Class | 0.0200% to 0.0800% | 0.36% |
A Class | 0.2500% to 0.3100% | 0.59% |
C Class | 0.2500% to 0.3100% | 0.59% |
R Class | 0.2500% to 0.3100% | 0.59% |
R5 Class | 0.0500% to 0.1100% | 0.39% |
R6 Class | 0.0000% to 0.0600% | 0.34% |
Distribution and Service Fees — The Board of Trustees has adopted a separate Master Distribution and Individual Shareholder Services Plan for each of the A Class, C Class and R Class (collectively the plans), pursuant to Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act. The plans provide that the A Class will pay ACIS an annual distribution and service fee of 0.25%. The plans provide that the C Class will pay ACIS an annual distribution and service fee of 1.00%, of which 0.25% is paid for individual shareholder services and 0.75% is paid for distribution services. The plans provide that the R Class will pay ACIS an annual distribution and service fee of 0.50%. The fees are computed and accrued daily based on each class’s daily net assets and paid monthly in arrears. The fees are used to pay financial intermediaries for distribution and individual shareholder services. Fees incurred under the plans during the period ended March 31, 2019 are detailed in the Statement of Operations.
Trustees’ Fees and Expenses — The Board of Trustees is responsible for overseeing the investment advisor’s management and operations of the fund. The trustees receive detailed information about the fund and its investment advisor regularly throughout the year, and meet at least quarterly with management of the investment advisor to review reports about fund operations. The fund’s officers do not receive compensation from the fund.
Interfund Transactions — The fund may enter into security transactions with other American Century Investments funds and other client accounts of the investment advisor, in accordance with the 1940 Act rules and procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. The rules and procedures require, among other things, that these transactions be effected at the independent current market price of the security. There were no interfund transactions during the period.
4. Investment Transactions
Purchases of investment securities, excluding short-term investments, for the period ended March 31, 2019 totaled $9,472,982,257, of which $8,581,337,105 represented U.S. Treasury and Government Agency obligations.
Sales of investment securities, excluding short-term investments, for the period ended March 31, 2019 totaled $13,119,552,026, of which $10,082,673,640 represented U.S. Treasury and Government Agency obligations.

6. Fair Value Measurements
The fund’s investments valuation process is based on several considerations and may use multiple inputs to determine the fair value of the investments held by the fund. In conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the inputs used to determine a valuation are classified into three broad levels.
| |
• | Level 1 valuation inputs consist of unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical investments. |
| |
• | Level 2 valuation inputs consist of direct or indirect observable market data (including quoted prices for comparable investments, evaluations of subsequent market events, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.). These inputs also consist of quoted prices for identical investments initially expressed in local currencies that are adjusted through translation into U.S. dollars. |
| |
• | Level 3 valuation inputs consist of unobservable data (including a fund’s own assumptions). |
The level classification is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair valuation measurement. The valuation inputs are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in these securities or other financial instruments.
The following is a summary of the level classifications as of period end. The Schedule of Investments provides additional information on the fund’s portfolio holdings.

7. Derivative Instruments
Credit Risk — The fund is subject to credit risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The value of a bond generally declines as the credit quality of its issuer declines. Credit default swap agreements enable a fund to buy/sell protection against a credit event of a specific issuer or index. A fund may attempt to enhance returns by selling protection or attempt to mitigate credit risk by buying protection. The buyer/seller of credit protection against a security or basket of securities may pay/receive an up-front or periodic payment to compensate for/against potential default events. Changes in value, including the periodic amounts of interest to be paid or received on swap agreements, are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on swap agreements. Upon entering into a centrally cleared swap, a fund is required to deposit cash or securities (initial margin) with a financial intermediary in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the notional amount. Subsequent payments (variation margin) are made or received daily, in cash, by a fund. The variation margin is equal to the daily change in the value and is a component of unrealized gains and losses. Realized gain or loss is recorded upon receipt or payment of a periodic settlement or termination of swap agreements. Net realized and unrealized gains or losses occurring during the holding period of swap agreements are a component of net realized gain (loss) on swap agreement transactions and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on swap agreements, respectively. The risks of entering into swap agreements include the possible lack of liquidity, failure of the counterparty to meet its obligations, and that there may be unfavorable changes in the underlying investments or instruments. The fund's average notional amount held during the period was $77,000,000.
Foreign Currency Risk — The fund is subject to foreign currency exchange rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The value of foreign investments held by a fund may be significantly affected by changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The dollar value of a foreign security generally decreases when the value of the dollar rises against the foreign currency in which the security is denominated and tends to increase when the value of the dollar declines against such foreign currency. A fund may enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts to reduce a fund's exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. The net U.S. dollar value of foreign currency underlying all contractual commitments held by a fund and the resulting unrealized appreciation or depreciation are determined daily. Realized gain or loss is recorded upon the termination of the contract. Net realized and unrealized gains or losses occurring during the holding period of forward foreign currency exchange contracts are a component of net realized gain (loss) on forward foreign currency exchange contract transactions and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on forward foreign currency exchange contracts, respectively. A fund bears the risk of an unfavorable change in the foreign currency exchange rate underlying the forward contract. Additionally, losses, up to the fair value, may arise if the counterparties do not perform under the contract terms. The fund's average U.S. dollar exposure to foreign currency risk derivative instruments held during the period was $582,081,144.
Interest Rate Risk — The fund is subject to interest rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. A fund may enter into futures contracts or interest rate swap agreements in order to manage its exposure to changes in market conditions. The value of bonds generally declines as interest rates rise. The risks of entering into interest rate risk derivative instruments include the possible lack of liquidity, failure of the counterparty to meet its obligations, and that there may be unfavorable changes in the underlying investments or instruments.
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. The fund's average notional exposure to these interest rate risk derivative instruments held during the period was $435,504,688 futures contracts purchased and $585,829,300 futures contracts sold.
A fund may enter into interest rate swap agreements to gain exposure to declines in interest rates, to protect against increases in interest rates, or to maintain its ability to generate income at prevailing interest rates. A fund will segregate cash, cash equivalents or other appropriate liquid securities on its records in amounts sufficient to meet requirements. Changes in value, including the periodic amounts of interest to be paid or received on swap agreements, are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on swap agreements. Upon entering into a centrally cleared swap, a fund is required to deposit cash or securities (initial margin) with a financial intermediary in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the notional amount. Subsequent payments (variation margin) are made or received daily, in cash, by a fund. The variation margin is equal to the daily change in the value and is a component of unrealized gains and losses. Realized gain or loss is recorded upon receipt or payment of a periodic settlement or termination of swap agreements. Net realized and unrealized gains or losses occurring during the holding period of swap agreements are a component of net realized gain (loss) on swap agreement transactions and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on swap agreements, respectively. The fund's average notional amount on interest rate swap agreements held during the period was $152,550,095.
Other Contracts — A fund may enter into total return swap agreements in order to attempt to obtain or preserve a particular return or spread at a lower cost than obtaining a return or spread through purchases and/or sales of instruments in other markets or gain exposure to certain markets in the most economical way possible. A fund will segregate cash, cash equivalents or other appropriate liquid securities on its records in amounts sufficient to meet requirements. Changes in value, including the periodic amounts of interest to be paid or received on swap agreements, are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on swap agreements. Upon entering into a centrally cleared swap, a fund is required to deposit cash or securities (initial margin) with a financial intermediary in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the notional amount. Subsequent payments (variation margin) are made or received daily, in cash, by a fund. The variation margin is equal to the daily change in the value and is a component of unrealized gains and losses. Realized gain or loss is recorded upon receipt or payment of a periodic settlement or termination of swap agreements. Net realized and unrealized gains or losses occurring during the holding period of swap agreements are a component of net realized gain (loss) on swap agreement transactions and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on swap agreements, respectively. The risks of entering into swap agreements include the possible lack of liquidity, failure of the counterparty to meet its obligations, and that there may be unfavorable changes in the underlying investments or instruments, including inflationary risk. The fund's average notional amount held during the period was $195,650,000.

8. Risk Factors
The fund’s investment process may result in high portfolio turnover, which could mean high transaction costs, affecting both performance and capital gains tax liabilities to investors.
9. Federal Tax Information
The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018 were as follows:
|
| | | | | | |
| 2019 | 2018 |
Distributions Paid From | | |
Ordinary income | $ | 115,152,594 |
| $ | 144,210,593 |
|
Long-term capital gains | — |
| — |
|
Tax return of capital | $ | 10,317,111 |
| — |
|
The book-basis character of distributions made during the year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. These differences reflect the differing character of certain income items and net realized gains and losses for financial statement and tax purposes, and may result in reclassification among certain capital accounts on the financial statements.
As of period end, the federal tax cost of investments and the components of distributable earnings on a tax-basis were as follows: |
| | | |
Federal tax cost of investments | $ | 3,213,001,903 |
|
Gross tax appreciation of investments | $ | 62,770,997 |
|
Gross tax depreciation of investments | (20,768,248 | ) |
Net tax appreciation (depreciation) of investments | 42,002,749 |
|
Net tax appreciation (depreciation) on derivatives and translation of assets and liabilities in foreign currencies | 2,957 |
|
Net tax appreciation (depreciation) | $ | 42,005,706 |
|
Other book-to-tax adjustments | $ | (88,031 | ) |
Undistributed ordinary income | — |
|
Accumulated short-term capital losses | $ | (49,396,574 | ) |
Accumulated long-term capital losses
| $ | (60,384,677 | ) |
Late-year ordinary loss deferral | $ | (2,548,278 | ) |
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is attributable primarily to the realization for tax purposes of unrealized gains (losses) on futures contracts. 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.
Loss deferrals represent certain qualified losses that the fund has elected to treat as having been incurred in the following fiscal year for federal income tax purposes.
10. Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-08, “Receivables - Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20), Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities” (ASU 2017-08). ASU 2017-08 amends the amortization period for certain purchased callable debt securities held at a premium, shortening such period to the earliest call date. The amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Management is currently evaluating the impact that adopting ASU 2017-08 will have on the financial statements.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm |
To the Board of Trustees of American Century Investment Trust and Shareholders of Diversified Bond Fund:
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of Diversified Bond Fund (one of the funds constituting American Century Investment Trust, referred to hereafter as the “Fund”) as of March 31, 2019, the related statement of operations for the year ended March 31, 2019, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended March 31, 2019, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of March 31, 2019, 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 ended March 31, 2019 and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of March 31, 2019 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits 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 Jonathan S. Thomas, 16; and Ronald J. Gilson, 9) 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 Jonathan S. Thomas is 1665 Charleston Road, Mountain View, California 94043. The mailing address for Jonathan S. Thomas is 4500 Main Street, Kansas City, Missouri 64111.

Retirement Account Information
As required by law, distributions you receive from certain retirement accounts are subject to federal income tax withholding, unless you elect not to have withholding apply*. Tax will be withheld on the total amount withdrawn even though you may be receiving amounts that are not subject to withholding, such as nondeductible contributions. In such case, excess amounts of withholding could occur. You may adjust your withholding election so that a greater or lesser amount will be withheld.
If you don’t want us to withhold on this amount, you must notify us to not withhold the federal income tax. You may notify us in writing or in certain situations by telephone or through other electronic means. For systematic withdrawals, your withholding election will remain in effect until revoked or changed by filing a new election. You have the right to revoke your election at any time and change your withholding percentage for future distributions.
Remember, even if you elect not to have income tax withheld, you are liable for paying income tax on the taxable portion of your withdrawal. If you elect not to have income tax withheld or you don’t have enough income tax withheld, you may be responsible for payment of estimated tax. You may incur penalties under the estimated tax rules if your withholding and estimated tax payments are not sufficient. You can reduce or defer the income tax on a distribution by directly or indirectly rolling such distribution over to another IRA or eligible plan. You should consult your tax advisor for additional information.
State tax will be withheld if, at the time of your distribution, your address is within one of the mandatory withholding states and you have federal income tax withheld (or as otherwise required by state law). State taxes will be withheld from your distribution in accordance with the respective state rules.
*Some 403(b), 457 and qualified retirement plan distributions may be subject to 20% mandatory withholding, as they are subject to special tax and withholding rules. Your plan administrator or plan sponsor is required to provide you with a special tax notice explaining those rules at the time you request a distribution. If applicable, federal and/or state taxes may be withheld from your distribution amount.

Dear Investor:
Thank you for reviewing this annual report for the period ended March 31, 2019. Annual reports help convey important information about fund returns, including market factors that affected performance during the reporting period. For additional, updated investment and market insights, we encourage you to visit our website, americancentury.com.
Markets Ended Roller-Coaster Period on Upswing
For the first half of the period, U.S. stocks climbed higher, while bond returns headed lower. Robust economic growth, bolstered by federal tax and regulatory reform, and record corporate earnings results fueled risk-on sentiment that drove stock prices higher. Meanwhile, the combination of strong economic data, the Federal Reserve’s (Fed’s) ongoing rate-hike campaign and an uptick in inflation pushed investment-grade bond returns lower.
Market trends began changing in late 2018. Mounting investor concerns about slowing global economic and earnings growth, U.S.-China trade tensions and rising interest rates triggered widespread volatility. Stock prices plunged as investors sought safe-haven investments, including U.S. Treasuries. Furthermore, the Fed issued another rate hike in December, its fourth of the year, and maintained its hawkish outlook. Investors feared the December rate increase and the Fed’s plans for two more rate hikes in 2019 were too aggressive, and risk-off investing remained in favor.
January brought a renewed sense of stability to the markets. Investors’ concerns about growth and trade eased, and the Fed changed course, pausing its rate-hike campaign amid moderating global growth and inflation. Valuations appeared attractive after the late-2018 sell-off, and risk-on investing resumed. In March, the Fed held rates steady again, hinting additional tightening was off the table for 2019. This news drove stock and bond returns higher and left both asset classes on an upward track to end the period. Overall, stocks (S&P 500 Index) overcame their late-2018 nosedive to gain 9.50% for the period. Bonds (Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index) bounced back from losses early in the period to return 4.48%.
We expect volatility to remain a formidable factor as investors react to global growth trends, central bank policy and geopolitical developments. We believe this scenario underscores the importance of using professionally managed portfolios in pursuit of investment goals. We appreciate your continued trust and confidence in us.
Sincerely,
Jonathan Thomas
President and Chief Executive Officer

Sales charges include initial sales charges and contingent deferred sales charges (CDSCs), as applicable. A Class shares have a 4.50% maximum initial sales charge and may be subject to a maximum CDSC of 1.00%. The SEC requires that mutual funds provide performance information net of maximum sales charges in all cases where charges could be applied.
The fund acquired the net assets and assumed the historical performance of the Nomura High Yield Fund, a series of The Advisors’ Inner Circle Fund III on October 2, 2017. Accordingly, the performance shown for periods prior to October 2, 2017 represents the performance of Class I shares of the Nomura High Yield Fund. In addition, the Nomura High Yield Fund acquired the net assets and assumed the historical performance of the High Yield Fund, a series of Nomura Partners Funds, Inc. on December 8, 2014. Accordingly, the performance shown for periods before December 8, 2014 represents the performance of Class I shares of the High Yield Fund. The Nomura High Yield Fund and the High Yield Fund returns in the table have not been adjusted to reflect the fund’s expenses. If the Nomura High Yield Fund and the High Yield Fund performance information had been adjusted to reflect the fund’s expenses, the performance may have been higher or lower for a given period depending on the expenses incurred by the Nomura High Yield Fund and the High Yield Fund for that period.
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. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate, and redemption value may be more or less than original cost. Data assumes reinvestment of dividends and capital gains, and none of the charts reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares.

Performance Summary
High Income returned 4.97%* for the 12-month period ended March 31, 2019. By comparison, the ICE BofAML U.S. High Yield Constrained Index returned 5.93%. Fund returns reflect operating expenses, while index returns do not.
The U.S. high-yield market began the fiscal year on an upbeat note. The U.S. economy was robust, corporate fundamentals were strong, commodity prices were improving and the default environment was benign. These factors provided an ideal setting for credit risk taking. U.S. real gross domestic product hovered near 4% during the second quarter of 2018. At the same time, the U.S. market showed signs of decoupling from global markets, as the U.S. economy continued to grow at a solid pace due to tax reform, deregulation and, to a lesser degree, government spending. For the first half of the fiscal year, lower-quality segments of the market outperformed their higher-quality, more duration-sensitive counterparts, but this trend would ultimately reverse by the end of 2018. Yields on the U.S. 10-year Treasury note began the fiscal year at 2.74% and rose to 3.24% in early November. The U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) continued to normalize short-term interest rates with four increases of 25 basis points (bps) each in 2018. Rising interest rates provided a modest headwind for fixed-income securities for much of the year.
Market sentiment started to sour in October 2018, beginning with an underwhelming start to the third-quarter earnings season, compounded by negative narratives surrounding U.S.-China trade relations, softening growth in emerging markets and the eurozone, and geopolitical concerns involving Brexit, Italy’s budget, Saudi Arabia and Iran. These concerns, coupled with the lack of clarity about waivers for Iran oil production, led to a precipitous decline in West Texas Intermediate crude oil prices from a peak of $73 to $45 per barrel to end 2018. This had an immediate impact on the high-yield energy sector. Mounting global growth concerns led to a sell-off in risky assets, and the 10-year Treasury yield ended 2018 at 2.69%. Alongside the sharpest decline for the S&P 500 Index since September 2011, the U.S. high-yield market also came under pressure. The average option-adjusted spread (OAS) on high-yield bonds widened more than 200 bps, from 316 bps to 544 bps, over this period. Despite grinding out positive returns for most of 2018, the U.S. high-yield market gave everything back and then some in the final quarter of 2018.
Many of the fears that drove the negative fourth-quarter sentiment quickly dissipated in January. The Fed shifted course at its January policy meeting, with key changes to the post-meeting statement and new balance sheet normalization guidance. The Fed also ruled out returning to a small balance sheet, confirming its intention to continue to control short-term interest rates by paying interest on reserves and maintaining an ample supply of reserves. At its March 2019 meeting, the Fed moved from the pause in rate hikes it signaled in January to essentially preclude the possibility of any rate increases in 2019. The European Central Bank also lowered its growth outlook and pushed back its first interest rate hike. In the first quarter of 2019, markets responded positively to more dovish central bank policies, strong corporate earnings and further progress on U.S.-China trade talks along with an outlook for steady growth.
*All fund returns referenced in this commentary are for Y Class shares. Performance for other share classes will vary due to differences in fee structure; when Y Class performance exceeds that of the index, other share classes may not. See page 3 for returns for all share classes.
Security Selection Detracted, Sector Allocation Contributed
Overall, security selection detracted from performance relative to the index. Specifically, our selections within the chemicals, metals and mining (excluding steel), specialty retail, wireless telecommunication and energy exploration and production sectors weighed on results. Our selections in these areas offset the effects of positive security selection among the telecommunication satellite, automobile parts and equipment, integrated electric, pharmaceuticals and consumer/commercial/lease financing sectors.
Meanwhile, sector allocation had an overall positive effect on the portfolio’s relative performance. Specifically, our allocations to the oil field equipment and services (underweight), gaming (overweight), pharmaceuticals (overweight), automobile parts and equipment (underweight) and telecommunication wireline (underweight) sectors aided relative results. Overweight positions in the energy exploration and production sector and underweight positions in the cable and satellite TV and specialty retail sectors detracted from relative performance.
Portfolio Positioning and Market Outlook
We believe U.S. high-yield bonds can perform well in a slow-growth economy coupled with target-level inflation and other supportive influences. Recession fears are slowly fading, as U.S. economic strength holds up against a backdrop of slowing global growth. This factor is alleviating concerns about the credit cycle ending and a potential surge in default rates and/or significant downgrades from investment-grade bonds into the high-yield market. Interest rate risk, a modest headwind for the high-yield market for most of 2018, remains subdued because of the economic slowdown and dovish Fed policy. The default rate is very low on a trailing 12-month basis, and while we expect it to increase modestly in 2019, we still expect defaults to remain below historical averages.

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 October 1, 2018 to March 31, 2019.
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 I 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 182, the number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year, divided by 365, to reflect the one-half year period. Annualized expense ratio reflects actual expenses, including any applicable fee waivers or expense reimbursements and excluding any acquired fund fees and expenses. |

Notes to Financial Statements |
MARCH 31, 2019
1. Organization
American Century Investment Trust (the trust) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company and is organized as a Massachusetts business trust. High Income Fund (the fund) is one fund in a series issued by the trust. The fund’s investment objective is to seek current yield and capital growth.
The fund offers the Investor Class, I Class, Y Class, A Class, R5 Class and R6 Class. The A Class may incur an initial sales charge and may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge. Sale of the Investor Class, I Class, A Class, R5 Class and R6 Class commenced on October 2, 2017.
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. Corporate bonds, bank loan obligations and convertible bonds are valued using market models that consider trade data, quotations from dealers and active market makers, relevant yield curve and spread data, creditworthiness, trade data or market information on comparable securities, and other relevant security specific information. Mortgage-related and asset-backed securities are valued based on models that consider trade data, prepayment and default projections, benchmark yield and spread data and estimated cash flows of each tranche of the issuer.
Equity securities that are listed or traded on a domestic securities exchange are valued at the last reported sales price or at the official closing price as provided by the exchange. Equity securities traded on foreign securities exchanges are generally valued at the closing price of such securities on the exchange where primarily traded or at the close of the NYSE, if that is earlier. If no last sales price is reported, or if local convention or regulation so provides, the mean of the latest bid and asked prices may be used. Securities traded over-the-counter are valued at the mean of the latest bid and asked prices, the last sales price, or the official closing price.
Open-end management investment companies are valued at the reported net asset value per share.
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. The fund also monitors for significant fluctuations between domestic and foreign markets, as evidenced by the U.S. market or such other indicators that the Board of Trustees, or its delegate, deems appropriate. If significant fluctuations in foreign markets are identified, the fund may apply a model-derived factor to the closing price of equity securities traded on foreign securities exchanges. The factor is based on observable market data as provided by an independent pricing service.
Security Transactions — Security transactions are accounted for as of the trade date. Net realized gains and losses are determined on the identified cost basis, which is also used for federal income tax purposes.
Investment Income — Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis and includes paydown gain (loss) and accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums. Dividend income less foreign taxes withheld, if any, is recorded as of the ex-dividend date. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or long-term capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. The fund may estimate the components of distributions received that may be considered nontaxable distributions or long-term capital gain distributions for income tax purposes.
Segregated Assets — In accordance with the 1940 Act, the fund segregates assets on its books and records to cover certain types of investment securities and other financial instruments. 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 collateral requirements.
Income Tax Status — It is the fund’s policy to distribute substantially all net investment income and net realized gains to shareholders and to otherwise qualify as a regulated investment company under provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, no provision has been made for income taxes. The fund files U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S. tax returns as applicable. The fund's tax returns are subject to examination by the relevant taxing authority until expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, which is generally three years from the date of filing but can be longer in certain jurisdictions. At this time, management believes there are no uncertain tax positions which, based on their technical merit, would not be sustained upon examination and for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.
Multiple Class — All shares of the fund represent an equal pro rata interest in the net assets of the class to which such shares belong, and have identical voting, dividend, liquidation and other rights and the same terms and conditions, except for class specific expenses and exclusive rights to vote on matters affecting only individual classes. Income, non-class specific expenses, and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses of the fund are allocated to each class of shares based on their relative net assets.
Distributions to Shareholders — Distributions from net investment income, if any, are declared daily and paid monthly. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are generally declared and paid annually.
Indemnifications — Under the trust’s organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the fund. In addition, in the normal course of business, the fund enters into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against a fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered by management to be remote.
3. Fees and Transactions with Related Parties
Certain officers and trustees of the trust are also officers and/or directors of American Century Companies, Inc. (ACC). The trust's investment advisor, ACIM, the trust's distributor, American Century Investment Services, Inc. (ACIS), and the trust's transfer agent, American Century Services, LLC, are wholly owned, directly or indirectly, by ACC. ACIM has engaged Nomura Corporate Research and Asset Management Inc. (NCRAM) to serve as a subadvisor for the fund and to manage the fund’s assets. NCRAM is responsible for the day-to-day management of the fund, subject to the general supervision of the Board of Trustees and the investment advisor and in accordance with the investment objective, policies and restrictions of the fund. ACIM pays all costs associated with retaining NCRAM as the subadvisor of the fund. A subsidiary of NCRAM’s parent company indirectly owns a non-controlling equity interest in ACC.
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 difference in the fee among the classes is a result of their separate arrangements for non-Rule 12b-1 shareholder services. It is not the result of any difference in advisory or custodial fees or other expenses related to the management of the fund’s assets, which do not vary by class.
The annual management fee for each class is as follows:
|
| | | | | |
Investor Class | I Class | Y Class | A Class | R5 Class | R6 Class |
0.775% | 0.675% | 0.575% | 0.775% | 0.575% | 0.525% |
Distribution and Service Fees — The Board of Trustees has adopted a Master Distribution and Individual Shareholder Services Plan (the plan) for the A Class, pursuant to Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act. The plan provides that the A Class will pay ACIS an annual distribution and service fee of 0.25%. The fees are computed and accrued daily based on the A Class’s daily net assets and paid monthly in arrears. The fees are used to pay financial intermediaries for distribution and individual shareholder services. Fees incurred under the plan during the period ended March 31, 2019 are detailed in the Statement of Operations.
Trustees’ Fees and Expenses — The Board of Trustees is responsible for overseeing the investment advisor’s management and operations of the fund. The trustees receive detailed information about the fund and its investment advisor regularly throughout the year, and meet at least quarterly with management of the investment advisor to review reports about fund operations. The fund’s officers do not receive compensation from the fund.
Interfund Transactions — The fund may enter into security transactions with other American Century Investments funds and other client accounts of the investment advisor, in accordance with the 1940 Act rules and procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. The rules and procedures require, among other things, that these transactions be effected at the independent current market price of the security. There were no interfund transactions during the period.
4. Investment Transactions
Purchases and sales of investment securities, excluding short-term investments, for the period ended March 31, 2019 were $192,534,504 and $84,032,928, 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.
The following is a summary of the level classifications as of period end. The Schedule of Investments provides additional information on the fund’s portfolio holdings.

7. Risk Factors
The fund invests primarily in high-yield and lower-quality debt securities, which are subject to substantial risks including liquidity risk and credit risk.
8. Federal Tax Information
The tax character of distributions paid during the year ended March 31, 2019, the six months ended March 31, 2018 and the year ended September 30, 2017 were as follows:
|
| | | | | | | | | |
| March 31, 2019 | March 31, 2018(1) | September 30, 2017 |
Distributions Paid From | | | |
Ordinary income | $ | 12,637,227 |
| $ | 4,195,407 |
| $ | 6,179,656 |
|
Long-term capital gains | — |
| — |
| — |
|
| |
(1) | The fund's fiscal year end was changed from September 30 to March 31, resulting in a six-month annual reporting period. |
The book-basis character of distributions made during the year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. These differences reflect the differing character of certain income items and net realized gains and losses for financial statement and tax purposes, and may result in reclassification among certain capital accounts on the financial statements.
As of period end, the federal tax cost of investments and the components of distributable earnings on a tax-basis were as follows:
|
| | | |
Federal tax cost of investments | $ | 266,682,474 |
|
Gross tax appreciation of investments | $ | 4,227,792 |
|
Gross tax depreciation of investments | (9,253,716 | ) |
Net tax appreciation (depreciation) of investments | $ | (5,025,924 | ) |
Other book-to-tax adjustments | $ | (77,396 | ) |
Undistributed ordinary income | — |
|
Accumulated short-term capital losses | $ | (471,117 | ) |
Accumulated long-term capital losses | $ | (1,288,262 | ) |
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales.
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.
9. Reorganization
On September 15, 2017, the Nomura High Yield Fund shareholders approved an agreement and plan of reorganization (the reorganization), whereby the net assets of Nomura High Yield Fund, a series issued by The Advisors’ Inner Circle Fund III, were transferred to High Income Fund, a newly organized series issued by the trust, with no investment operations prior to the reorganization, in exchange for shares of High Income Fund. The transaction will allow the Nomura High Yield Fund’s shareholders to access American Century Investment’s capabilities and operational infrastructure in terms of shareholder servicing, relationship management, and product support, and benefit from their expanded resources in the areas of multi-channel distribution and relationship management. The financial statements and performance history of Nomura High Yield Fund survived after the reorganization and the fiscal year end was changed from September 30 to March 31. The reorganization was effective on October 2, 2017.
Prior to the reorganization, the fund’s investment advisor was Nomura Asset Management U.S.A. Inc. and the fund paid an annual investment advisory fee of 0.50%. The fund was also charged a variety of other fees, including an administration and accounting fee, transfer agent fee, pricing fee, legal fee, registration fee and other expenses. Nomura Asset Management U.S.A. Inc. contractually agreed to reduce its fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to keep total annual fund operating expenses from exceeding 0.575% of the fund’s average daily net assets. Nomura Asset Management U.S.A. Inc. had an agreement with NCRAM to subadvise the fund and paid the NCRAM out of their investment advisory fee.
The reorganization was accomplished by a tax-free exchange of shares between Nomura High Yield Fund - Class I and High Income Fund - Y Class. On October 2, 2017, Nomura High Yield Fund exchanged its shares for shares of High Income Fund as follows:
|
| | | | | | | | | |
Original Fund/Class | Shares Exchanged | Net Assets | New Fund/Class | Shares Received | Net Assets |
Nomura High Yield Fund – Class I | 13,168,356 |
| $127,414,290 |
| High Income Fund – Y Class | 13,168,356 |
| $127,414,290 |
|
Because High Income Fund was a newly organized series with no investment operations prior to the reorganization and the reorganization was effective at the commencement of High Income Fund’s fiscal year, it is not practicable to present proforma results of operations during the period or separate the amounts of revenue and earnings of Nomura High Yield Fund that have been included in High Income Fund’s Statement of Operations.
10. Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-08, “Receivables - Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20), Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities” (ASU 2017-08). ASU 2017-08 amends the amortization period for certain purchased callable debt securities held at a premium, shortening such period to the earliest call date. The amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Management is currently evaluating the impact that adopting ASU 2017-08 will have on the financial statements.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm |
To the Board of Trustees of American Century Investment Trust and Shareholders of High Income Fund:
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of High Income Fund (one of the funds constituting American Century Investment Trust, referred to hereafter as the “Fund”) as of March 31, 2019, the related statement of operations for the year ended March 31, 2019, the statement of changes in net assets for the year ended March 31, 2019 and for the six months ended March 31, 2018, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for the year ended March 31, 2019 and the periods ended March 31, 2018 (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of March 31, 2019, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for the year ended March 31, 2019 and for the six months ended March 31, 2018, and the financial highlights for the year ended March 31, 2019 and the periods ended March 31, 2018 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The financial statements as of and for the year ended on September 30, 2017 and the financial highlights for each of the periods ended on or prior to September 30, 2017 (not presented herein, other than the statement of changes in net assets and the financial highlights) were audited by other auditors whose report dated November 29, 2017 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements and financial highlights.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of March 31, 2019 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have served as the auditor of one or more investment companies in American Century Investments since 1997.
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 Jonathan S. Thomas, 16; and Ronald J. Gilson, 9) 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 Jonathan S. Thomas is 1665 Charleston Road, Mountain View, California 94043. The mailing address for Jonathan S. Thomas is 4500 Main Street, Kansas City, Missouri 64111.

Retirement Account Information
As required by law, distributions you receive from certain retirement accounts are subject to federal income tax withholding, unless you elect not to have withholding apply*. Tax will be withheld on the total amount withdrawn even though you may be receiving amounts that are not subject to withholding, such as nondeductible contributions. In such case, excess amounts of withholding could occur. You may adjust your withholding election so that a greater or lesser amount will be withheld.
If you don’t want us to withhold on this amount, you must notify us to not withhold the federal income tax. You may notify us in writing or in certain situations by telephone or through other electronic means. For systematic withdrawals, your withholding election will remain in effect until revoked or changed by filing a new election. You have the right to revoke your election at any time and change your withholding percentage for future distributions.
Remember, even if you elect not to have income tax withheld, you are liable for paying income tax on the taxable portion of your withdrawal. If you elect not to have income tax withheld or you don’t have enough income tax withheld, you may be responsible for payment of estimated tax. You may incur penalties under the estimated tax rules if your withholding and estimated tax payments are not sufficient. You can reduce or defer the income tax on a distribution by directly or indirectly rolling such distribution over to another IRA or eligible plan. You should consult your tax advisor for additional information.
State tax will be withheld if, at the time of your distribution, your address is within one of the mandatory withholding states and you have federal income tax withheld (or as otherwise required by state law). State taxes will be withheld from your distribution in accordance with the respective state rules.
*Some 403(b), 457 and qualified retirement plan distributions may be subject to 20% mandatory withholding, as they are subject to special tax and withholding rules. Your plan administrator or plan sponsor is required to provide you with a special tax notice explaining those rules at the time you request a distribution. If applicable, federal and/or state taxes may be withheld from your distribution amount.

Dear Investor:
Thank you for reviewing this annual report for the period ended March 31, 2019. Annual reports help convey important information about fund returns, including market factors that affected performance during the reporting period. For additional, updated investment and market insights, we encourage you to visit our website, americancentury.com.
Markets Ended Roller-Coaster Period on Upswing
For the first half of the period, U.S. stocks climbed higher, while bond returns headed lower. Robust economic growth, bolstered by federal tax and regulatory reform, and record corporate earnings results fueled risk-on sentiment that drove stock prices higher. Meanwhile, the combination of strong economic data, the Federal Reserve’s (Fed’s) ongoing rate-hike campaign and an uptick in inflation pushed investment-grade bond returns lower.
Market trends began changing in late 2018. Mounting investor concerns about slowing global economic and earnings growth, U.S.-China trade tensions and rising interest rates triggered widespread volatility. Stock prices plunged as investors sought safe-haven investments, including U.S. Treasuries. Furthermore, the Fed issued another rate hike in December, its fourth of the year, and maintained its hawkish outlook. Investors feared the December rate increase and the Fed’s plans for two more rate hikes in 2019 were too aggressive, and risk-off investing remained in favor.
January brought a renewed sense of stability to the markets. Investors’ concerns about growth and trade eased, and the Fed changed course, pausing its rate-hike campaign amid moderating global growth and inflation. Valuations appeared attractive after the late-2018 sell-off, and risk-on investing resumed. In March, the Fed held rates steady again, hinting additional tightening was off the table for 2019. This news drove stock and bond returns higher and left both asset classes on an upward track to end the period. Overall, stocks (S&P 500 Index) overcame their late-2018 nosedive to gain 9.50% for the period. Bonds (Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index) bounced back from losses early in the period to return 4.48%.
We expect volatility to remain a formidable factor as investors react to global growth trends, central bank policy and geopolitical developments. We believe this scenario underscores the importance of using professionally managed portfolios in pursuit of investment goals. We appreciate your continued trust and confidence in us.
Sincerely,
Jonathan Thomas
President and Chief Executive Officer
American Century Investments

Portfolio Managers: Kevin Akioka and Gavin Fleischman
Effective October 31, 2018, Dave MacEwen left the portfolio management team ahead of his
December 31, 2018, retirement.
Performance Summary
High-Yield returned 4.91%* for the 12 months ended March 31, 2019, compared with the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. High-Yield 2% Issuer Capped Bond Index, which gained 5.93%. Fund returns reflect operating expenses, while index returns do not.
The fund’s results reflect the positive performance of higher-yielding, lower-quality securities, as risk-on investing reigned during much of the period. The fiscal year witnessed a marked shift in Federal Reserve (Fed) policy and investor sentiment toward the U.S. and global economic growth outlook, which influenced performance in the fixed-income market. In the first several months of the period, robust economic growth, rising inflation and the Fed’s steady rate-tightening strategy drove Treasury yields higher. Investment-grade bond returns were generally flat to slightly negative. Meanwhile, risk-on investing remained in favor, and higher-yielding securities outperformed. The environment reversed sharply in late 2018, as worries about future economic and corporate earnings growth, U.S.-China trade negotiations and a surprisingly bullish Fed outlook triggered severe volatility in the equity markets. Investors fled risk assets in favor of U.S. Treasuries and other perceived safe-haven investments.
The new year brought a new sense of stability to the financial markets. Progress with U.S.-China trade negotiations and better-than-feared U.S. economic and earnings data helped restore some investor optimism. Additionally, the Fed paused its rate-hike campaign in January, seemingly acknowledging its December plan for two rate hikes in 2019 may have been too aggressive. Investors responded enthusiastically to this backdrop, and risk assets returned to favor. Meanwhile, Treasury yields moved modestly lower. Then, at its March monetary policy meeting, the Fed held rates steady and suggested additional tightening was likely off the table for 2019. While this news triggered a sharp rally among Treasuries, it also extended the rally among higher-risk assets. Overall, the broad U.S. fixed-income market advanced for the entire 12-month period, and high-yield securities generally outperformed higher-quality bonds. Relative to the index, our more-defensive positioning and security selection primarily accounted for the portfolio’s underperformance.
Defensive Positioning, Security Selection Detracted
Overall, the portfolio’s larger-than-average cash position was the primary detractor on a relative basis. Although our cash holdings provided some downside protection during the sell-off in risk assets in late 2018, they weighed on performance in early 2019 as high-yield bonds rallied. In another defensive strategy, we maintained an underweight position in securities with CCC credit ratings. This weighed on relative results, as lower-quality securities rebounded late in the period and were top performers overall.
Security selection also detracted from relative performance. In particular, our selections among independent energy producers dragged down results, as declining oil prices in 2018 provided

a headwind for energy-sector companies. Despite the oil price rebound in early 2019, some of our
exploration and production companies continued to struggle, due to their smaller scale and limited
financial flexibility. We repositioned the portfolio’s exposure in this industry. Additionally, our selections among pharmaceutical companies also hurt performance. On the positive side, our selections among oil field services companies contributed to relative performance.
Sector Allocation Aided Performance
Our sector allocations added value. In particular, an overweight position in the pharmaceuticals sector and underweight positions in the automotive, oil field services and consumer cyclical sectors lifted relative performance.
Portfolio Positioning
We expect the U.S. economy to continue to grow, but at a more moderate pace (2.0% to 2.5% annualized). However, we expect U.S. economic growth to remain more robust than growth in Europe and Japan. We expect headline inflation to eventually converge with core inflation near 2%. These factors should enable the Fed to remain on hold throughout the remainder of 2019. Against a backdrop of slowing global growth, geopolitical uncertainties (mainly Brexit) and a dovish Fed, we expect the 10-year Treasury yield to fluctuate within a near-term range of 2.35% to 2.80%. We expect the yield curve to remain relatively flat, and we do not believe the brief inversion of the curve earlier this year indicates an impending recession.
In the wake of the first-quarter rally among high-yield bonds, valuations appear high. We believe this factor combined with our outlook for modest U.S. growth and weaker global growth warrant a continued underweight to bonds with CCC credit ratings. We continue to find value among securities with B credit ratings, which we believe offer better risk/reward profiles. As the environment evolves, our bottom-up security selection process, which strives to identify bonds with attractive yields, solid balance sheets and good fundamentals trading at attractive valuations, will remain a key factor in seeking strong relative performance.

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 October 1, 2018 to March 31, 2019.
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 I 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.

‡The maximum potential amount the fund could be required to deliver as a seller of credit protection if a credit event occurs as defined under the terms of the agreement is the notional amount. The maximum potential amount may be partially offset by any recovery values of the reference entities and upfront payments received upon entering into the agreement.
^The value for credit default swap agreements serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and represent the likelihood of an expected liability or profit at the period end. Increasing values in absolute terms when compared to the notional amount of the credit default swap agreement represent a deterioration of the referenced entity's credit soundness and an increased likelihood or risk of a credit event occurring as defined in the agreement.

Notes to Financial Statements |
MARCH 31, 2019
1. Organization
American Century Investment Trust (the trust) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company and is organized as a Massachusetts business trust. High-Yield Fund (the fund) is one fund in a series issued by the trust. The fund’s investment objective is to seek high current income. As a secondary objective, the fund seeks capital appreciation, but only when consistent with its primary objective of maximizing current income.
The fund offers the Investor Class, I Class, Y Class, A Class, C Class, R Class, R5 Class and R6 Class. The A Class may incur an initial sales charge. The A Class and C Class may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge. Sale of the I Class and Y Class commenced on April 10, 2017.
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. Corporate bonds, U.S. Treasury and Government Agency securities, convertible bonds, bank loan obligations, municipal securities, and sovereign governments and agencies are valued using market models that consider trade data, quotations from dealers and active market makers, relevant yield curve and spread data, creditworthiness, trade data or market information on comparable securities, and other relevant security specific information. Mortgage-related and asset-backed securities are valued based on models that consider trade data, prepayment and default projections, benchmark yield and spread data and estimated cash flows of each tranche of the issuer. Commercial paper is valued using a curve-based approach that considers money market rates for specific instruments, programs, currencies and maturity points from a variety of active market makers.
Equity securities that are listed or traded on a domestic securities exchange are valued at the last reported sales price or at the official closing price as provided by the exchange. Equity securities traded on foreign securities exchanges are generally valued at the closing price of such securities on the exchange where primarily traded or at the close of the NYSE, if that is earlier. If no last sales price is reported, or if local convention or regulation so provides, the mean of the latest bid and asked prices may be used. Securities traded over-the-counter are valued at the mean of the latest bid and asked prices, the last sales price, or the official closing price.
Open-end management investment companies are valued at the reported net asset value per share. Repurchase agreements are valued at cost, which approximates fair value. Swap agreements are valued at an evaluated mean as provided by independent pricing services or independent brokers.
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. The fund also monitors for significant fluctuations between domestic and foreign markets, as evidenced by the U.S. market or such other indicators that the Board of Trustees, or its delegate, deems appropriate. If significant fluctuations in foreign markets are identified, the fund may apply a model-derived factor to the closing price of equity securities traded on foreign securities exchanges. The factor is based on observable market data as provided by an independent pricing service.
Security Transactions — Security transactions are accounted for as of the trade date. Net realized gains and losses are determined on the identified cost basis, which is also used for federal income tax purposes.
Investment Income — Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis and includes paydown gain (loss) and accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums. Dividend income less foreign taxes withheld, if any, is recorded as of the ex-dividend date. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or long-term capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. The fund may estimate the components of distributions received that may be considered nontaxable distributions or long-term capital gain distributions for income tax purposes. Securities lending income is net of fees and
rebates earned by the lending agent for its services.
Repurchase Agreements — The fund may enter into repurchase agreements with institutions that American Century Investment Management, Inc. (ACIM) (the investment advisor) has determined are creditworthy pursuant to criteria adopted by the Board of Trustees. The fund requires that the collateral, represented by securities, received in a repurchase transaction be transferred to the custodian in a manner sufficient to enable the fund to obtain those securities in the event of a default under the repurchase agreement. ACIM monitors, on a daily basis, the securities transferred to ensure the value, including accrued interest, of the securities under each repurchase agreement is equal to or greater than amounts owed to the fund under each repurchase agreement.
Joint Trading Account — Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the fund, along with certain other funds in the American Century Investments family of funds, may transfer uninvested cash balances into a joint trading account. These balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Agency obligations.
Segregated Assets — In accordance with the 1940 Act, the fund segregates assets on its books and records to cover certain types of investment securities and other financial instruments. ACIM 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 collateral requirements.
Income Tax Status — It is the fund’s policy to distribute substantially all net investment income and net realized gains to shareholders and to otherwise qualify as a regulated investment company under provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, no provision has been made for income taxes. The fund files U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S. tax returns as applicable. The fund's tax returns are subject to examination by the relevant taxing authority until expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, which is generally three years from the date of filing but can be longer in certain jurisdictions. At this time, management believes there are no uncertain tax positions which, based on their technical merit, would not be sustained upon examination and for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.
Multiple Class — All shares of the fund represent an equal pro rata interest in the net assets of the class to which such shares belong, and have identical voting, dividend, liquidation and other rights and the same terms and conditions, except for class specific expenses and exclusive rights to vote on matters affecting only individual classes. Income, non-class specific expenses, and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses of the fund are allocated to each class of shares based on their relative net assets.
Distributions to Shareholders — Distributions from net investment income, if any, are declared daily and paid monthly. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are generally declared and paid annually.
Indemnifications — Under the trust’s organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the fund. In addition, in the normal course of business, the fund enters into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against a fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered by management to be remote.
Securities Lending — Securities are lent to qualified financial institutions and brokers. State Street Bank &
Trust Co. serves as securities lending agent to the fund pursuant to a Securities Lending Agreement. The
lending of securities exposes the fund to risks such as: the borrowers may fail to return the loaned securities,
the borrowers may not be able to provide additional collateral, the fund may experience delays in recovery of
the loaned securities or delays in access to collateral, or the fund may experience losses related to the
investment collateral. To minimize certain risks, loan counterparties pledge collateral in the form of cash and/
or securities. The lending agent has agreed to indemnify the fund in the case of default of any securities
borrowed. Cash collateral received is invested in the State Street Navigator Securities Lending Government Money Market Portfolio, a money market mutual fund registered under the 1940 Act. The loans may also be secured by U.S. government securities in an amount at least equal to the market value of the securities loaned, plus accrued interest and dividends, determined on a daily basis and adjusted accordingly. By lending securities, the fund seeks to increase its net investment income through the receipt of interest and fees. Such income is reflected separately within the Statement of Operations. The value of loaned securities and related collateral outstanding at period end, if any, are shown on a gross basis within the Schedule of Investments and Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
The following table reflects a breakdown of transactions accounted for as secured borrowings, the gross obligation by the type of collateral pledged, and the remaining contractual maturity of those transactions as of March 31, 2019.

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 difference in the fee among the classes is a result of their separate arrangements for non-Rule 12b-1 shareholder services. It is not the result of any difference in advisory or custodial fees or other expenses related to the management of the fund’s assets, which do not vary by class. The fee consists of (1) an Investment Category Fee based on the daily net assets of the fund and certain other accounts managed by the investment advisor that are in the same broad investment category as the fund and (2) a Complex Fee based on the assets of all the funds in the American Century Investments family of funds. During the period ended March 31, 2019, the investment advisor agreed to waive 0.07% of the fund's management fee. The investment advisor expects this waiver to continue until July 31, 2019 and cannot terminate it prior to such date without the approval of the Board of Trustees.
The Investment Category Fee range, the Complex Fee range and the effective annual management fee before and after waiver for each class for the period ended March 31, 2019 are as follows:
|
| | | | |
| | | Effective Annual Management Fee |
| Investment Category Fee Range | Complex Fee Range | Before Waiver | After Waiver |
Investor Class | 0.5425% to 0.6600% | 0.2500% to 0.3100% | 0.84% | 0.77% |
I Class | 0.1500% to 0.2100% | 0.74% | 0.67% |
Y Class | 0.0500% to 0.1100% | 0.64% | 0.57% |
A Class | 0.2500% to 0.3100% | 0.84% | 0.77% |
C Class | 0.2500% to 0.3100% | 0.84% | 0.77% |
R Class | 0.2500% to 0.3100% | 0.84% | 0.77% |
R5 Class | 0.0500% to 0.1100% | 0.64% | 0.57% |
R6 Class | 0.0000% to 0.0600% | 0.59% | 0.52% |
Distribution and Service Fees — The Board of Trustees has adopted a separate Master Distribution and Individual Shareholder Services Plan for each of the A Class, C Class and R Class (collectively the plans), pursuant to Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act. The plans provide that the A Class will pay ACIS an annual distribution and service fee of 0.25%. The plans provide that the C Class will pay ACIS an annual distribution and service fee of 1.00%, of which 0.25% is paid for individual shareholder services and 0.75% is paid for distribution services. The plans provide that the R Class will pay ACIS an annual distribution and service fee of 0.50%. The fees are computed and accrued daily based on each class’s daily net assets and paid monthly in arrears. The fees are used to pay financial intermediaries for distribution and individual shareholder services. Fees incurred under the plans during the period ended March 31, 2019 are detailed in the Statement of Operations.
Trustees’ Fees and Expenses — The Board of Trustees is responsible for overseeing the investment advisor’s management and operations of the fund. The trustees receive detailed information about the fund and its investment advisor regularly throughout the year, and meet at least quarterly with management of the investment advisor to review reports about fund operations. The fund’s officers do not receive compensation from the fund.
Interfund Transactions — The fund may enter into security transactions with other American Century Investments funds and other client accounts of the investment advisor, in accordance with the 1940 Act rules and procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. The rules and procedures require, among other things, that these transactions be effected at the independent current market price of the security. There were no interfund transactions during the period.

6. Fair Value Measurements
The fund’s investments valuation process is based on several considerations and may use multiple inputs to determine the fair value of the investments held by the fund. In conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the inputs used to determine a valuation are classified into three broad levels.
| |
• | Level 1 valuation inputs consist of unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical investments. |
| |
• | Level 2 valuation inputs consist of direct or indirect observable market data (including quoted prices for comparable investments, evaluations of subsequent market events, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.). These inputs also consist of quoted prices for identical investments initially expressed in local currencies that are adjusted through translation into U.S. dollars. |
| |
• | Level 3 valuation inputs consist of unobservable data (including a fund’s own assumptions). |
The level classification is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair valuation measurement. The valuation inputs are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in these securities or other financial instruments.
The following is a summary of the level classifications as of period end. The Schedule of Investments provides additional information on the fund’s portfolio holdings.

7. Derivative Instruments
Credit Risk — The fund is subject to credit risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The value of a bond generally declines as the credit quality of its issuer declines. Credit default swap agreements enable a fund to buy/sell protection against a credit event of a specific issuer or index. A fund may attempt to enhance returns by selling protection or attempt to mitigate credit risk by buying protection. The buyer/seller of credit protection against a security or basket of securities may pay/receive an up-front or periodic payment to compensate for/against potential default events. Changes in value, including the periodic amounts of interest to be paid or received on swap agreements, are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on swap agreements. Upon entering into a centrally cleared swap, a fund is required to deposit cash or securities (initial margin) with a financial intermediary in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the notional amount. Subsequent payments (variation margin) are made or received daily, in cash, by a fund. The variation margin is equal to the daily change in the value and is a component of unrealized gains and losses. Realized gain or loss is recorded upon receipt or payment of a periodic settlement or termination of swap agreements. Net realized and unrealized gains or losses occurring during the holding period of swap agreements are a component of net realized gain (loss) on swap agreement transactions and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on swap agreements, respectively. The risks of entering into swap agreements include the possible lack of liquidity, failure of the counterparty to meet its obligations, and that there may be unfavorable changes in the underlying investments or instruments. The fund's average notional amount held during the period was $5,725,556.
The value of credit risk derivative instruments as of March 31, 2019, is disclosed on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an asset of $8,047 in receivable for variation margin on swap agreements*. For the year ended March 31, 2019, the effect of credit risk derivative instruments on the Statement of Operations was $(27,392) in net realized gain (loss) on swap agreement transactions and $72,911 in change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on swap agreements.
* Included in the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on centrally cleared swap agreements, as reported in the Schedule of Investments.
8. Risk Factors
The fund invests primarily in lower-rated debt securities, which are subject to substantial risks including liquidity risk and credit risk.
There are certain risks involved in investing in foreign securities. These risks include those resulting from political events (such as civil unrest, national elections and imposition of exchange controls), social and economic events (such as labor strikes and rising inflation), and natural disasters. Securities of foreign issuers may be less liquid and more volatile. Investing in emerging markets or a significant portion of assets in one country or region may accentuate these risks.
9. Federal Tax Information
The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018 were as follows:
|
| | | | | | |
| 2019 | 2018 |
Distributions Paid From | | |
Ordinary income | $ | 7,582,181 |
| $ | 16,528,174 |
|
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 period end, the federal tax cost of investments and the components of distributable earnings on a tax-basis were as follows:
|
| | | |
Federal tax cost of investments | $ | 158,388,533 |
|
Gross tax appreciation of investments | $ | 2,684,241 |
|
Gross tax depreciation of investments | (2,991,881 | ) |
Net tax appreciation (depreciation) of investments | (307,640 | ) |
Net tax appreciation (depreciation) on derivatives | 53,258 |
|
Net tax appreciation (depreciation) | $ | (254,382 | ) |
Other book-to-tax adjustments | $ | (15,196 | ) |
Undistributed ordinary income | — |
|
Accumulated short-term capital losses | $ | (3,569,501 | ) |
Accumulated long-term capital losses
| $ | (34,934,837 | ) |
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales.
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.
10. Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-08, “Receivables - Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20), Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities” (ASU 2017-08). ASU 2017-08 amends the amortization period for certain purchased callable debt securities held at a premium, shortening such period to the earliest call date. The amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Management is currently evaluating the impact that adopting ASU 2017-08 will have on the financial statements.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm |
To the Board of Trustees of the American Century Investment Trust and Shareholders of the High-Yield Fund:
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of High-Yield Fund (one of the funds constituting American Century Investment Trust, referred to hereafter as the “Fund”) as of March 31, 2019, the related statement of operations for the year ended March 31, 2019, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended March 31, 2019, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of March 31, 2019, 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 ended March 31, 2019 and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of March 31, 2019 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits 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 Jonathan S. Thomas, 16; and Ronald J. Gilson, 9) 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 Jonathan S. Thomas is 1665 Charleston Road, Mountain View, California 94043. The mailing address for Jonathan S. Thomas is 4500 Main Street, Kansas City, Missouri 64111.

Retirement Account Information
As required by law, distributions you receive from certain retirement accounts are subject to federal income tax withholding, unless you elect not to have withholding apply*. Tax will be withheld on the total amount withdrawn even though you may be receiving amounts that are not subject to withholding, such as nondeductible contributions. In such case, excess amounts of withholding could occur. You may adjust your withholding election so that a greater or lesser amount will be withheld.
If you don’t want us to withhold on this amount, you must notify us to not withhold the federal income tax. You may notify us in writing or in certain situations by telephone or through other electronic means. For systematic withdrawals, your withholding election will remain in effect until revoked or changed by filing a new election. You have the right to revoke your election at any time and change your withholding percentage for future distributions.
Remember, even if you elect not to have income tax withheld, you are liable for paying income tax on the taxable portion of your withdrawal. If you elect not to have income tax withheld or you don’t have enough income tax withheld, you may be responsible for payment of estimated tax. You may incur penalties under the estimated tax rules if your withholding and estimated tax payments are not sufficient. You can reduce or defer the income tax on a distribution by directly or indirectly rolling such distribution over to another IRA or eligible plan. You should consult your tax advisor for additional information.
State tax will be withheld if, at the time of your distribution, your address is within one of the mandatory withholding states and you have federal income tax withheld (or as otherwise required by state law). State taxes will be withheld from your distribution in accordance with the respective state rules.
*Some 403(b), 457 and qualified retirement plan distributions may be subject to 20% mandatory withholding, as they are subject to special tax and withholding rules. Your plan administrator or plan sponsor is required to provide you with a special tax notice explaining those rules at the time you request a distribution. If applicable, federal and/or state taxes may be withheld from your distribution amount.

Performance Summary
NT Diversified Bond returned 3.93%* for the 12 months ended March 31, 2019. By comparison, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index returned 4.48%. Fund returns reflect operating expenses, while index returns do not.
Returns for the fund and the index reflect a generally positive, albeit challenging, environment for investment-grade bonds. The 12-month period witnessed a marked shift in Federal Reserve (Fed) policy and investor sentiment toward the U.S. and global economic growth outlook, which influenced performance in the fixed-income market. In the first several months of the period, robust economic growth, rising inflation and the Fed’s steady rate-tightening strategy drove Treasury yields higher. Investment-grade bond returns were generally flat to slightly negative. Meanwhile, risk-on investing remained in favor, and higher-yielding securities outperformed. The environment reversed sharply in late 2018, as worries about future economic and corporate earnings growth, U.S.-China trade negotiations and a surprisingly bullish Fed outlook triggered severe volatility in the equity markets. After climbing to a reporting period high of 3.24% in early November (according to Bloomberg), the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield plunged to 2.68% by the end of December 2018, as investors fled risk assets in favor of perceived safe-haven investments.
The new year brought a new sense of stability to the financial markets. Progress with U.S.-China trade negotiations and better-than-feared U.S. economic and earnings data helped restore some investor optimism. Additionally, the Fed paused its rate-hike campaign in January, seemingly acknowledging its December plan for two rate hikes in 2019 may have been too aggressive. Investors responded enthusiastically to this backdrop, and risk assets returned to favor. Meanwhile, Treasury yields moved modestly lower. Then, at its March monetary policy meeting, the Fed held rates steady and suggested additional tightening was likely off the table for 2019. This news triggered a sharp rally among Treasuries, and the 10-year Treasury note ended the 12-month period yielding 2.5%. The yield curve flattened dramatically and briefly inverted.
Overall, the Treasury market rally of late 2018 and early 2019 supported broad U.S. fixed-income gains for the entire 12-month period. Longer-maturity Treasuries and corporate bonds were top performers. NT Diversified Bond’s out-of-index exposure to global interest rate movements primarily accounted for the fund’s underperformance relative to the index.
Global Interest Rates Position Detracted
Throughout most of 2018, we held a non-index position designed to take advantage of differences in global interest rates. As part of this strategy, we held short positions in European government bond futures, a neutral position in U.S. Treasury futures and a long position in local-currency emerging markets bonds. Initially, we expected European rates to rise from their unusually low levels and converge with U.S. rates. We also expected select emerging markets rates to remain
*Fund returns would have been lower if a portion of the fees had not been waived.
stable or decline. However, yields in Europe steadily declined, weighing on our short positions in European governments. Additionally, mounting investor concerns about the sustainability of synchronized global growth combined with country-specific issues pressured emerging markets assets. With the global economy showing signs of slowing and leading central banks maintaining dovish policies, we exited our global rates trade in late 2018.
Sector Allocation, Security Selection Were Mixed
We continued to underweight Treasuries and government agencies relative to the index in favor of spread (non-Treasury) sectors, including corporate credit and securitized bonds. This strategy delivered mixed results. Our overweight position in the securitized sector contributed to relative results, while our overweight to investment-grade corporate bonds modestly detracted.
Security selection within these allocations also was mixed. Within the investment-grade corporate sector, our selections contributed to results. In particular, our corporate bond holdings with BBB credit ratings delivered robust performance late in the reporting period. However, our selections in the securitized sector detracted from results.
Meanwhile, our out-of-index allocation to high-yield corporate bonds was a modest contributor, as positive performance in the first half of the reporting period combined with the early 2019 risk rally offset the effects of the high-yield sell-off in late 2018.
Portfolio Positioning
We expect the U.S. economy to continue to grow, but at a more moderate pace (2.0% to 2.5% annualized). However, we expect U.S. economic growth to remain more robust than growth in Europe and Japan. We expect headline inflation to eventually converge with core inflation near 2%. These factors should enable the Fed to remain on hold throughout the remainder of 2019. Against a backdrop of slowing global growth, geopolitical uncertainties (mainly Brexit) and a dovish Fed, we expect the 10-year Treasury yield to fluctuate within a near-term range of 2.35% to 2.80%.
We do not believe the dramatic flattening (and brief) inversion of the yield curve late in the reporting period is an indication of a looming recession. Instead, we believe the curve flattened in response to the Fed’s unexpected pivot to dovish monetary policy. We believe the Fed’s change of course is more reflective of a lack of inflation than a lack of growth. Given the yield curve’s notable flattening, we initiated a position designed to take advantage of our outlook for the curve between two and five years to steepen.
Additionally, we expect to maintain our preference for spread sectors versus Treasuries, remaining mindful of market conditions. For example, in light of the strong rally in risk assets in the final months of the reporting period, we took profits in and reduced exposure to investment-grade and high-yield corporate bonds. We also took profits in credit-sensitive mortgage-backed securities that participated in the rally. We will continue to look for opportunities to tactically add exposure to riskier corporate and securitized securities, as valuations, fundamentals and market conditions dictate. However, from a longer-term, strategic perspective, we plan to reduce spread sector risk, given the potential for spread widening as the credit cycle matures. As always, we favor a bottom-up approach to portfolio management, emphasizing careful security selection.

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 October 1, 2018 to March 31, 2019.
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.
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.

MARCH 31, 2019
1. Organization
American Century Investment Trust (the trust) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company and is organized as a Massachusetts business trust. NT Diversified Bond Fund (the fund) is one fund in a series issued by the trust. The fund’s investment objective is to seek a high level of income by investing in non-money market debt securities. The fund is not permitted to invest in securities issued by companies assigned the Global Industry Classification Standard or the Bloomberg Industry Classification Standard for the tobacco industry. The fund offers the G Class. On July 31, 2017, all outstanding R6 Class shares were converted to G Class shares and the fund discontinued offering the R6 Class.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the fund in preparation of its financial statements. The fund is an investment company and follows accounting and reporting guidance in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. This may require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Management evaluated the impact of events or transactions occurring through the date the financial statements were issued that would merit recognition or disclosure.
Investment Valuations — The fund determines the fair value of its investments and computes its net asset value 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. Corporate bonds, U.S. Treasury and Government Agency securities, convertible bonds, bank loan obligations, municipal securities, and sovereign governments and agencies are valued using market models that consider trade data, quotations from dealers and active market makers, relevant yield curve and spread data, creditworthiness, trade data or market information on comparable securities, and other relevant security specific information. Mortgage-related and asset-backed securities are valued based on models that consider trade data, prepayment and default projections, benchmark yield and spread data and estimated cash flows of each tranche of the issuer. Collateralized loan obligations are valued based on discounted cash flow models that consider trade and economic data, prepayment assumptions and default projections. Commercial paper is valued using a curve-based approach that considers money market rates for specific instruments, programs, currencies and maturity points from a variety of active market makers. Fixed income securities initially expressed in local currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the mean of the appropriate currency exchange rate at the close of the NYSE as provided by an independent pricing service.
Open-end management investment companies are valued at the reported net asset value per share. Repurchase agreements are valued at cost, which approximates fair value. Exchange-traded futures contracts are valued at the settlement price as provided by the appropriate exchange. Swap agreements are valued at an evaluated mean as provided by independent pricing services or independent brokers. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are valued at the mean of the appropriate forward exchange rate at the close of the NYSE as provided by an independent pricing service. Investments initially expressed in local currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the mean of the appropriate currency exchange rate at the close of the NYSE as provided by an independent pricing service.
If the 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 paydown gain (loss) and accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums. Inflation adjustments related to inflation-linked debt securities are reflected as interest income.
Foreign Currency Translations — All assets and liabilities initially expressed in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at prevailing exchange rates at period end. The fund may enter into spot foreign currency exchange contracts to facilitate transactions denominated in a foreign currency. Purchases and sales of investment securities, dividend and interest income, spot foreign currency exchange contracts, and expenses are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. Net realized and unrealized foreign currency exchange gains or losses related to investment securities are a component of net realized gain (loss) on investment transactions and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments, respectively.
Forward Commitments — The fund may engage in securities transactions on a forward commitment basis. In these transactions, the securities’ prices and yields are fixed on the date of the commitment. The fund may sell a to-be-announced (TBA) security and at the same time make a commitment to purchase the same security at a future date at a specified price. Conversely, the fund may purchase a TBA security and at the same time make a commitment to sell the same security at a future date at a specified price. These types of transactions are known as “TBA roll” transactions and are accounted for as purchases and sales. The fund will segregate cash, cash equivalents or other appropriate liquid securities on its records in amounts sufficient to meet the purchase price.
Repurchase Agreements — The fund may enter into repurchase agreements with institutions that American Century Investment Management, Inc. (ACIM) (the investment advisor) has determined are creditworthy pursuant to criteria adopted by the Board of Trustees. The fund requires that the collateral, represented by securities, received in a repurchase transaction be transferred to the custodian in a manner sufficient to enable the fund to obtain those securities in the event of a default under the repurchase agreement. ACIM monitors, on a daily basis, the securities transferred to ensure the value, including accrued interest, of the securities under each repurchase agreement is equal to or greater than amounts owed to the fund under each repurchase agreement.
Joint Trading Account — Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the fund, along with certain other funds in the American Century Investments family of funds, may transfer uninvested cash balances into a joint trading account. These balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Agency obligations.
Segregated Assets — In accordance with the 1940 Act, the fund segregates assets on its books and records to cover certain types of investment securities and other financial instruments. ACIM 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 collateral requirements.
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. 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., and the trust's transfer agent, American Century Services, LLC, are wholly owned, directly or indirectly, by ACC. Various funds issued by American Century Asset Allocation Portfolios, Inc. own, in aggregate, 100% of the shares of the fund. Related parties do not invest in the fund for the purpose of exercising management or control.
Management Fees — The trust has entered into a management agreement with ACIM, under which ACIM provides the fund with investment advisory and management services in exchange for a single, unified management fee (the fee). The agreement provides that all expenses of managing and operating the fund, except brokerage expenses, taxes, interest, fees and expenses of the independent trustees (including legal counsel fees), and extraordinary expenses, will be paid by ACIM. The fee is computed and accrued daily based on the daily net assets of 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 0.2925% to 0.4100%. The rates for the Complex Fee range from 0.0000% to 0.0600%. The investment advisor agreed to waive the fund’s management fee in its entirety. The investment advisor expects this waiver to remain in effect permanently and cannot terminate it without the approval of the Board of Trustees. The effective annual management fee for the period ended March 31, 2019 was 0.34% before waiver and 0.00% 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. There were no interfund transactions during the period.
4. Investment Transactions
Purchases of investment securities, excluding short-term investments, for the period ended March 31, 2019 totaled $5,553,863,110, of which $4,982,596,086 represented U.S. Treasury and Government Agency obligations.
Sales of investment securities, excluding short-term investments, for the period ended March 31, 2019 totaled $6,372,116,981, of which $5,140,733,029 represented U.S. Treasury and Government Agency obligations.

6. Fair Value Measurements
The fund’s investments valuation process is based on several considerations and may use multiple inputs to determine the fair value of the investments held by the fund. In conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the inputs used to determine a valuation are classified into three broad levels.
| |
• | Level 1 valuation inputs consist of unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical investments. |
| |
• | Level 2 valuation inputs consist of direct or indirect observable market data (including quoted prices for comparable investments, evaluations of subsequent market events, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.). These inputs also consist of quoted prices for identical investments initially expressed in local currencies that are adjusted through translation into U.S. dollars. |
| |
• | Level 3 valuation inputs consist of unobservable data (including a fund’s own assumptions). |
The level classification is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair valuation measurement. The valuation inputs are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in these securities or other financial instruments.
The following is a summary of the level classifications as of period end. The Schedule of Investments provides additional information on the fund’s portfolio holdings.

7. Derivative Instruments
Credit Risk — The fund is subject to credit risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The value of a bond generally declines as the credit quality of its issuer declines. Credit default swap agreements enable a fund to buy/sell protection against a credit event of a specific issuer or index. A fund may attempt to enhance returns by selling protection or attempt to mitigate credit risk by buying protection. The buyer/seller of credit protection against a security or basket of securities may pay/receive an up-front or periodic payment to compensate for/against potential default events. Changes in value, including the periodic amounts of interest to be paid or received on swap agreements, are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on swap agreements. Upon entering into a centrally cleared swap, a fund is required to deposit cash or securities (initial margin) with a financial intermediary in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the notional amount. Subsequent payments (variation margin) are made or received daily, in cash, by a fund. The variation margin is equal to the daily change in the value and is a component of unrealized gains and losses. Realized gain or loss is recorded upon receipt or payment of a periodic settlement or termination of swap agreements. Net realized and unrealized gains or losses occurring during the holding period of swap agreements are a component of net realized gain (loss) on swap agreement transactions and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on swap agreements, respectively. The risks of entering into swap agreements include the possible lack of liquidity, failure of the counterparty to meet its obligations, and that there may be unfavorable changes in the underlying investments or instruments. The fund's average notional amount held during the period was $62,500,000.
Foreign Currency Risk — The fund is subject to foreign currency exchange rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The value of foreign investments held by a fund may be significantly affected by changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The dollar value of a foreign security generally decreases when the value of the dollar rises against the foreign currency in which the security is denominated and tends to increase when the value of the dollar declines against such foreign currency. A fund may enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts to reduce a fund's exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations or to gain exposure to the fluctuations in the value of foreign currencies. The net U.S. dollar value of foreign currency underlying all contractual commitments held by a fund and the resulting unrealized
appreciation or depreciation are determined daily. Realized gain or loss is recorded upon the termination of the contract. Net realized and unrealized gains or losses occurring during the holding period of forward foreign currency exchange contracts are a component of net realized gain (loss) on forward foreign currency exchange contract transactions and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on forward foreign currency exchange contracts, respectively. A fund bears the risk of an unfavorable change in the foreign currency exchange rate underlying the forward contract. Additionally, losses, up to the fair value, may arise if the counterparties do not perform under the contract terms. The fund's average U.S. dollar exposure to foreign currency risk derivative instruments held during the period was $238,035,051.
Interest Rate Risk — The fund is subject to interest rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. A fund may enter into futures contracts or interest rate swap agreements in order to manage its exposure to changes in market conditions. The value of bonds generally declines as interest rates rise. The risks of entering into interest rate risk derivative instruments include the possible lack of liquidity, failure of the counterparty to meet its obligations, and that there may be unfavorable changes in the underlying investments or instruments.
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. The fund's average notional exposure to these interest rate risk derivative instruments held during the period was $268,095,899 futures contracts purchased and $326,488,657 futures contracts sold.
A fund may enter into interest rate swap agreements to gain exposure to declines in interest rates, to protect against increases in interest rates, or to maintain its ability to generate income at prevailing interest rates. A fund will segregate cash, cash equivalents or other appropriate liquid securities on its records in amounts sufficient to meet requirements. Changes in value, including the periodic amounts of interest to be paid or received on swap agreements, are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on swap agreements. Upon entering into a centrally cleared swap, a fund is required to deposit cash or securities (initial margin) with a financial intermediary in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the notional amount. Subsequent payments (variation margin) are made or received daily, in cash, by a fund. The variation margin is equal to the daily change in the value and is a component of unrealized gains and losses. Realized gain or loss is recorded upon receipt or payment of a periodic settlement or termination of swap agreements. Net realized and unrealized gains or losses occurring during the holding period of swap agreements are a component of net realized gain (loss) on swap agreement transactions and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on swap agreements, respectively. The fund's average notional amount on interest rate swap agreements held during the period was $51,532,166.
Other Contracts — A fund may enter into total return swap agreements in order to attempt to obtain or preserve a particular return or spread at a lower cost than obtaining a return or spread through purchases and/or sales of instruments in other markets or gain exposure to certain markets in the most economical way possible. A fund will segregate cash, cash equivalents or other appropriate liquid securities on its records in amounts sufficient to meet requirements. Changes in value, including the periodic amounts of interest to be paid or received on swap agreements, are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on swap agreements. Upon entering into a centrally cleared swap, a fund is required to deposit cash or securities (initial margin) with a financial intermediary in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the notional amount. Subsequent payments (variation margin) are made or received daily, in cash, by a fund. The variation margin is equal to the daily change in the value and is a component of unrealized gains and losses. Realized gain or loss is recorded upon receipt or payment of a periodic settlement or termination of swap agreements. Net realized and unrealized gains or losses occurring during the holding period of swap agreements are a component of net realized gain (loss) on swap agreement transactions and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on swap agreements, respectively. The risks of entering into swap agreements include the possible lack of liquidity, failure of the counterparty to meet its obligations, and that there may be unfavorable changes in the underlying investments or instruments, including inflationary risk. The fund's average notional amount held during the period was $95,450,000.

8. Risk Factors
The fund’s investment process may result in high portfolio turnover, which could mean high transaction costs, affecting both performance and capital gains tax liabilities to investors.
9. Federal Tax Information
The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018 were as follows:
|
| | | | | | |
| 2019 | 2018 |
Distributions Paid From | | |
Ordinary income | $ | 82,373,652 |
| $ | 84,254,116 |
|
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 period end, the federal tax cost of investments and the components of distributable earnings on a tax-basis were as follows:
|
| | | |
Federal tax cost of investments | $ | 2,680,974,538 |
|
Gross tax appreciation of investments | $ | 39,957,476 |
|
Gross tax depreciation of investments | (17,361,059 | ) |
Net tax appreciation (depreciation) of investments | $ | 22,596,417 |
|
Other book-to-tax adjustments | $ | (247,632 | ) |
Undistributed ordinary income | — |
|
Accumulated short-term capital losses | $ | (32,799,028 | ) |
Accumulated long-term capital losses
| $ | (33,630,736 | ) |
Late-year ordinary loss deferral | $ | (243,882 | ) |
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is attributable primarily to the realization for tax purposes of unrealized gains (losses) on futures contracts. 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.
Loss deferrals represent certain qualified losses that the fund has elected to treat as having been incurred in the following fiscal year for federal income tax purposes.
10. Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-08, “Receivables - Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20), Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities” (ASU 2017-08). ASU 2017-08 amends the amortization period for certain purchased callable debt securities held at a premium, shortening such period to the earliest call date. The amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Management is currently evaluating the impact that adopting ASU 2017-08 will have on the financial statements.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm |
To the Board of Trustees of American Century Investment Trust and Shareholders of NT Diversified Bond Fund:
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of NT Diversified Bond Fund (one of the funds constituting American Century Investment Trust, referred to hereafter as the “Fund”) as of March 31, 2019, the related statement of operations for the year ended March 31, 2019, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended March 31, 2019, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended March 31, 2019 (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of March 31, 2019, 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 ended March 31, 2019 and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended March 31, 2019 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of March 31, 2019 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits 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 Jonathan S. Thomas, 16; and Ronald J. Gilson, 9) 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 Jonathan S. Thomas is 1665 Charleston Road, Mountain View, California 94043. The mailing address for Jonathan S. Thomas is 4500 Main Street, Kansas City, Missouri 64111.

Retirement Account Information
As required by law, distributions you receive from certain retirement accounts are subject to federal income tax withholding, unless you elect not to have withholding apply*. Tax will be withheld on the total amount withdrawn even though you may be receiving amounts that are not subject to withholding, such as nondeductible contributions. In such case, excess amounts of withholding could occur. You may adjust your withholding election so that a greater or lesser amount will be withheld.
If you don’t want us to withhold on this amount, you must notify us to not withhold the federal income tax. You may notify us in writing or in certain situations by telephone or through other electronic means. For systematic withdrawals, your withholding election will remain in effect until revoked or changed by filing a new election. You have the right to revoke your election at any time and change your withholding percentage for future distributions.
Remember, even if you elect not to have income tax withheld, you are liable for paying income tax on the taxable portion of your withdrawal. If you elect not to have income tax withheld or you don’t have enough income tax withheld, you may be responsible for payment of estimated tax. You may incur penalties under the estimated tax rules if your withholding and estimated tax payments are not sufficient. You can reduce or defer the income tax on a distribution by directly or indirectly rolling such distribution over to another IRA or eligible plan. You should consult your tax advisor for additional information.
State tax will be withheld if, at the time of your distribution, your address is within one of the mandatory withholding states and you have federal income tax withheld (or as otherwise required by state law). State taxes will be withheld from your distribution in accordance with the respective state rules.
*Some 403(b), 457 and qualified retirement plan distributions may be subject to 20% mandatory withholding, as they are subject to special tax and withholding rules. Your plan administrator or plan sponsor is required to provide you with a special tax notice explaining those rules at the time you request a distribution. If applicable, federal and/or state taxes may be withheld from your distribution amount.

Performance Summary
NT High Income returned 5.02%* for the 12-month period ended March 31, 2019. By comparison, the ICE BofAML U.S. High Yield Constrained Index returned 5.93%. Fund returns reflect operating expenses, while index returns do not.
The U.S. high-yield market began the fiscal year on an upbeat note. The U.S. economy was robust, corporate fundamentals were strong, commodity prices were improving and the default environment was benign. These factors provided an ideal setting for credit risk taking. U.S. real gross domestic product hovered near 4% during the second quarter of 2018. At the same time, the U.S. market showed signs of decoupling from global markets, as the U.S. economy continued to grow at a solid pace due to tax reform, deregulation and, to a lesser degree, government spending. For the first half of the fiscal year, lower-quality segments of the market outperformed their higher-quality, more duration-sensitive counterparts, but this trend would ultimately reverse by the end of 2018. Yields on the U.S. 10-year Treasury note began the fiscal year at 2.74% and rose to 3.24% in early November. The U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) continued to normalize short-term interest rates with four increases of 25 basis points (bps) each in 2018. Rising interest rates were a modest headwind for fixed-income securities for much of the year.
Market sentiment started to sour in October 2018, beginning with an underwhelming start to the third-quarter earnings season, compounded by negative narratives surrounding U.S.-China trade relations, softening growth in emerging markets and the eurozone, and geopolitical concerns involving Brexit, Italy’s budget, Saudi Arabia and Iran. These concerns, coupled with the lack of clarity about waivers for Iran oil production, led to a precipitous decline in West Texas Intermediate crude oil prices from a peak of $73 to $45 per barrel to end 2018. This had an immediate impact on the high-yield energy sector. Mounting global growth concerns led to a sell-off in risky assets, and the 10-year Treasury yield ended 2018 at 2.69%. Alongside the sharpest decline for the S&P 500 Index since September 2011, the U.S. high-yield market also came under pressure. The average option-adjusted spread (OAS) on high-yield bonds widened more than 200 bps, from 316 bps to 544 bps, over this period. Despite grinding out positive returns for most of 2018, the U.S. high-yield market gave everything back and then some in the final quarter of 2018.
Many of the fears that drove the negative fourth-quarter sentiment quickly dissipated in January. The Fed shifted course at its January policy meeting, with key changes to the post-meeting statement and new balance sheet normalization guidance. The Fed also ruled out returning to a small balance sheet, confirming its intention to continue to control short-term interest rates by paying interest on reserves and maintaining an ample supply of reserves. At its March 2019 meeting, the Fed moved from the pause in rate hikes it signaled in January to essentially preclude the possibility of any rate increases in 2019. The European Central Bank also lowered its growth outlook and pushed back its first interest rate hike. In the first quarter of 2019, markets responded positively to more dovish central bank policies, strong corporate earnings and further progress on U.S.-China trade talks along with an outlook for steady growth.
*All fund returns referenced in this commentary are for G Class shares. Fund returns would have been lower if a portion of the fees had not been waived. Performance for other share classes will vary due to differences in fee structure; when G Class performance exceeds that of the index, other share classes may not. See page 2 for returns for all share classes.
Security Selection, Sector Allocation Detracted
Overall, security selection primarily accounted for the portfolio’s underperformance relative to the index. In particular, our selections in the pharmaceuticals, integrated electric, wholesale food, oil field equipment and services, and cable and satellite TV sectors detracted from relative results.
Sector allocation had a slightly negative effect on relative performance. Underweight positions relative to the index in the cable and satellite TV and health facilities sectors and an overweight position in the energy exploration and production sector weighed on results. Conversely, our allocation decisions in the automobile parts and equipment (underweight), gaming (overweight) and telecommunication wireline (underweight) sectors contributed to performance on a relative basis.
Portfolio Positioning and Market Outlook
We believe U.S. high-yield bonds can perform well in a slow-growth economy coupled with target-level inflation and other supportive influences. Recession fears are slowly fading, as U.S. economic strength holds up against a backdrop of slowing global growth. This factor is alleviating concerns about the credit cycle ending and a potential surge in default rates and/or significant downgrades from investment-grade bonds into the high-yield market. Interest rate risk, a modest headwind for the high-yield market for most of 2018, remains subdued because of the economic slowdown and dovish Fed policy. The default rate is very low on a trailing 12-month basis, and while we expect it to increase modestly in 2019, we still expect defaults to remain below historical averages.

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 October 1, 2018 to March 31, 2019.
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.
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 |
MARCH 31, 2019
1. Organization
American Century Investment Trust (the trust) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company and is organized as a Massachusetts business trust. NT High Income Fund (the fund) is one fund in a series issued by the trust. The fund’s investment objective is to seek current yield and capital growth. The fund is not permitted to invest in securities issued by companies assigned the Global Industry Classification Standard or the Bloomberg Industry Classification Standard for the tobacco industry.
The fund offers the Investor Class and G Class. All classes of the fund commenced sale on May 19, 2017, the fund’s inception date. On July 31, 2017, all outstanding R6 Class shares were converted to G Class shares and the fund discontinued offering the R6 Class.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the fund in preparation of its financial statements. The fund is an investment company and follows accounting and reporting guidance in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. This may require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Management evaluated the impact of events or transactions occurring through the date the financial statements were issued that would merit recognition or disclosure.
Investment Valuations — The fund determines the fair value of its investments and computes its net asset value 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. Corporate bonds, bank loan obligations and convertible bonds are valued using market models that consider trade data, quotations from dealers and active market makers, relevant yield curve and spread data, creditworthiness, trade data or market information on comparable securities, and other relevant security specific information. Mortgage-related and asset-backed securities are valued based on models that consider trade data, prepayment and default projections, benchmark yield and spread data and estimated cash flows of each tranche of the issuer.
Equity securities that are listed or traded on a domestic securities exchange are valued at the last reported sales price or at the official closing price as provided by the exchange. Equity securities traded on foreign securities exchanges are generally valued at the closing price of such securities on the exchange where primarily traded or at the close of the NYSE, if that is earlier. If no last sales price is reported, or if local convention or regulation so provides, the mean of the latest bid and asked prices may be used. Securities traded over-the-counter are valued at the mean of the latest bid and asked prices, the last sales price, or the official closing price.
Open-end management investment companies are valued at the reported net asset value per share.
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. The fund also monitors for significant fluctuations between domestic and foreign markets, as evidenced by the U.S. market or such other indicators that the Board of Trustees, or its delegate, deems appropriate. If significant fluctuations in foreign markets are identified, the fund may apply a model-derived factor to the closing price of equity securities traded on foreign securities exchanges. The factor is based on observable market data as provided by an independent pricing service.
Security Transactions — Security transactions are accounted for as of the trade date. Net realized gains and losses are determined on the identified cost basis, which is also used for federal income tax purposes.
Investment Income — Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis and includes paydown gain (loss) and accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums.
Segregated Assets — In accordance with the 1940 Act, the fund segregates assets on its books and records to cover certain types of investment securities and other financial instruments. 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 collateral requirements.
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., and the trust's transfer agent, American Century Services, LLC, are wholly owned, directly or indirectly, by ACC. ACIM has engaged Nomura Corporate Research and Asset Management Inc. (NCRAM) to serve as a subadvisor for the fund and to manage the fund’s assets. NCRAM is responsible for the day-to-day management of the fund, subject to the general supervision of the Board of Trustees and the investment advisor and in accordance with the investment objective, policies and restrictions of the fund. ACIM pays all costs associated with retaining NCRAM as the subadvisor of the fund. A subsidiary of NCRAM’s parent company indirectly owns a non-controlling equity interest in ACC. Various funds issued by American Century Asset Allocation Portfolios, Inc. and American Century Strategic Asset Allocation, Inc. own, in aggregate, 100% of the shares of the fund. Related parties do not invest in the fund for the purpose of exercising management or control.
Management Fees — The trust has entered into a management agreement with ACIM, under which ACIM provides the fund with investment advisory and management services in exchange for a single, unified management fee (the fee) per class. The agreement provides that all expenses of managing and operating
the fund, except brokerage expenses, taxes, interest, fees and expenses of the independent trustees (including legal counsel fees), and extraordinary expenses, will be paid by ACIM. The fee is computed and accrued daily based on each class's daily net assets and paid monthly in arrears. The difference in the fee among the classes is a result of their separate arrangements for non-Rule 12b-1 shareholder services, which may be provided indirectly through another American Century Investments mutual fund. It is not the result of any difference in advisory or custodial fees or other expenses related to the management of the fund’s assets, which do not vary by class. During the period ended March 31, 2019, the investment advisor agreed to waive 0.075% of the fund's management fee. The investment advisor expects this waiver to continue until July 31, 2019 and cannot terminate it prior to such date without the approval of the Board of Trustees. The investment advisor agreed to waive the G Class’s management fee in its entirety. The investment advisor expects this waiver to remain in effect permanently and cannot terminate it without the approval of the Board of Trustees.
The annual management fee and the effective annual management fee after waiver for each class for the period ended March 31, 2019 are as follows:
|
| | |
|
Annual Management Fee | Effective Annual Management Fee After Waiver |
Investor Class | 0.85% | 0.77% |
G Class | 0.60% | 0.00% |
Trustees’ Fees and Expenses — The Board of Trustees is responsible for overseeing the investment advisor’s management and operations of the fund. The trustees receive detailed information about the fund and its investment advisor regularly throughout the year, and meet at least quarterly with management of the investment advisor to review reports about fund operations. The fund’s officers do not receive compensation from the fund.
Interfund Transactions — The fund may enter into security transactions with other American Century Investments funds and other client accounts of the investment advisor, in accordance with the 1940 Act rules and procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. The rules and procedures require, among other things, that these transactions be effected at the independent current market price of the security. There were no interfund transactions during the period.
4. Investment Transactions
Purchases and sales of investment securities, excluding short-term investments, for the period ended March 31, 2019 were $279,847,915 and $378,160,479, 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.
The following is a summary of the level classifications as of period end. The Schedule of Investments provides additional information on the fund’s portfolio holdings.

7. Risk Factors
The fund invests primarily in high-yield and lower-quality debt securities, which are subject to substantial risks including liquidity risk and credit risk.
8. Federal Tax Information
The tax character of distributions paid during the year ended March 31, 2019 and the period ended March 31, 2018 were as follows:
|
| | | | | | |
| 2019 | 2018(1) |
Distributions Paid From | | |
Ordinary income | $ | 47,275,749 |
| $ | 37,828,449 |
|
Long-term capital gains | — |
| — |
|
| |
(1) | May 19, 2017 (fund inception) through March 31, 2018. |
The book-basis character of distributions made during the year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. These differences reflect the differing character of certain income items and net realized gains and losses for financial statement and tax purposes, and may result in reclassification among certain capital accounts on the financial statements.
As of period end, the federal tax cost of investments and the components of distributable earnings on a tax-basis were as follows:
|
| | | |
Federal tax cost of investments | $ | 719,956,796 |
|
Gross tax appreciation of investments | $ | 7,127,887 |
|
Gross tax depreciation of investments | (32,558,602 | ) |
Net tax appreciation (depreciation) of investments | $ | (25,430,715 | ) |
Undistributed ordinary income | — |
|
Accumulated short-term capital losses | $ | (1,782,470 | ) |
Accumulated long-term capital losses | $ | (3,651,209 | ) |
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales.
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.
9. Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-08, “Receivables - Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20), Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities” (ASU 2017-08). ASU 2017-08 amends the amortization period for certain purchased callable debt securities held at a premium, shortening such period to the earliest call date. The amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm |
To the Board of Trustees of American Century Investment Trust and Shareholders of NT High Income Fund:
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of NT High Income Fund (one of the funds constituting American Century Investment Trust, referred to hereafter as the “Fund”) as of March 31, 2019, the related statement of operations for the year ended March 31, 2019, the statement of changes in net assets and the financial highlights for the year ended March 31, 2019 and for the period May 19, 2017 (fund inception) through March 31, 2018, including the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of March 31, 2019, the results of its operations for the year ended March 31 2019, and the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for the year ended March 31, 2019 and for the period May 19, 2017 (fund inception) through March 31, 2018, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of March 31, 2019 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits 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 Jonathan S. Thomas, 16; and Ronald J. Gilson, 9) 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 Jonathan S. Thomas is 1665 Charleston Road, Mountain View, California 94043. The mailing address for Jonathan S. Thomas is 4500 Main Street, Kansas City, Missouri 64111.

Retirement Account Information
As required by law, distributions you receive from certain retirement accounts are subject to federal income tax withholding, unless you elect not to have withholding apply*. Tax will be withheld on the total amount withdrawn even though you may be receiving amounts that are not subject to withholding, such as nondeductible contributions. In such case, excess amounts of withholding could occur. You may adjust your withholding election so that a greater or lesser amount will be withheld.
If you don’t want us to withhold on this amount, you must notify us to not withhold the federal income tax. You may notify us in writing or in certain situations by telephone or through other electronic means. For systematic withdrawals, your withholding election will remain in effect until revoked or changed by filing a new election. You have the right to revoke your election at any time and change your withholding percentage for future distributions.
Remember, even if you elect not to have income tax withheld, you are liable for paying income tax on the taxable portion of your withdrawal. If you elect not to have income tax withheld or you don’t have enough income tax withheld, you may be responsible for payment of estimated tax. You may incur penalties under the estimated tax rules if your withholding and estimated tax payments are not sufficient. You can reduce or defer the income tax on a distribution by directly or indirectly rolling such distribution over to another IRA or eligible plan. You should consult your tax advisor for additional information.
State tax will be withheld if, at the time of your distribution, your address is within one of the mandatory withholding states and you have federal income tax withheld (or as otherwise required by state law). State taxes will be withheld from your distribution in accordance with the respective state rules.
*Some 403(b), 457 and qualified retirement plan distributions may be subject to 20% mandatory withholding, as they are subject to special tax and withholding rules. Your plan administrator or plan sponsor is required to provide you with a special tax notice explaining those rules at the time you request a distribution. If applicable, federal and/or state taxes may be withheld from your distribution amount.

Dear Investor:
Thank you for reviewing this annual report for the period ended March 31, 2019. Annual reports help convey important information about fund returns, including market factors that affected performance during the reporting period. For additional, updated investment and market insights, we encourage you to visit our website, americancentury.com.
Markets Ended Roller-Coaster Period on Upswing
For the first half of the period, U.S. stocks climbed higher, while bond returns headed lower. Robust economic growth, bolstered by federal tax and regulatory reform, and record corporate earnings results fueled risk-on sentiment that drove stock prices higher. Meanwhile, the combination of strong economic data, the Federal Reserve’s (Fed’s) ongoing rate-hike campaign and an uptick in inflation pushed investment-grade bond returns lower.
Market trends began changing in late 2018. Mounting investor concerns about slowing global economic and earnings growth, U.S.-China trade tensions and rising interest rates triggered widespread volatility. Stock prices plunged as investors sought safe-haven investments, including U.S. Treasuries. Furthermore, the Fed issued another rate hike in December, its fourth of the year, and maintained its hawkish outlook. Investors feared the December rate increase and the Fed’s plans for two more rate hikes in 2019 were too aggressive, and risk-off investing remained in favor.
January brought a renewed sense of stability to the markets. Investors’ concerns about growth and trade eased, and the Fed changed course, pausing its rate-hike campaign amid moderating global growth and inflation. Valuations appeared attractive after the late-2018 sell-off, and risk-on investing resumed. In March, the Fed held rates steady again, hinting additional tightening was off the table for 2019. This news drove stock and bond returns higher and left both asset classes on an upward track to end the period. Overall, stocks (S&P 500 Index) overcame their late-2018 nosedive to gain 9.50% for the period. Bonds (Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index) bounced back from losses early in the period to return 4.48%.
We expect volatility to remain a formidable factor as investors react to global growth trends, central bank policy and geopolitical developments. We believe this scenario underscores the importance of using professionally managed portfolios in pursuit of investment goals. We appreciate your continued trust and confidence in us.
Sincerely,
Jonathan Thomas
President and Chief Executive Officer
American Century Investments

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.
You could lose money by investing in the fund. Although the fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it cannot guarantee it will do so. The fund may impose a fee upon sale of your shares or may temporarily suspend your ability to sell shares if the fund’s liquidity falls below required minimums because of market conditions or other factors. An investment in the fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. The fund’s sponsor has no legal obligation to provide financial support to the fund, and you should not expect that the sponsor will provide financial support to the fund at any time.
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 October 1, 2018 to March 31, 2019.
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 I 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 182, the number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year, divided by 365, to reflect the one-half year period. Annualized expense ratio reflects actual expenses, including any applicable fee waivers or expense reimbursements and excluding any acquired fund fees and expenses. |

MARCH 31, 2019
1. Organization
American Century Investment Trust (the trust) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company and is organized as a Massachusetts business trust. Prime Money Market Fund (the fund) is one fund in a series issued by the trust. The fund’s investment objective is to seek to earn the highest level of current income while preserving the value of your investment.
The fund offers the Investor Class, A Class and C Class. The A Class and C Class may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the fund in preparation of its financial statements. The fund is an investment company and follows accounting and reporting guidance in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. This may require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Management evaluated the impact of events or transactions occurring through the date the financial statements were issued that would merit recognition or disclosure.
Investment Valuations — The fund determines the fair value of its investments and computes its net asset value 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. Investments are generally valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. If the fund determines that the amortized cost does 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.
Treasury Roll Transactions — The fund purchases a security and at the same time makes a commitment to sell the same security at a future settlement date at a specified price. These types of transactions are known as treasury roll transactions. The difference between the purchase price and the sale price represents interest income reflective of an agreed upon rate between the fund and the counterparty.
Income Tax Status — It is the fund’s policy to distribute substantially all net investment income and net realized gains to shareholders and to otherwise qualify as a regulated investment company under provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, no provision has been made for income taxes. The fund files U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S. tax returns as applicable. The fund's tax returns are subject to examination by the relevant taxing authority until expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, which is generally three years from the date of filing but can be longer in certain jurisdictions. At this time, management believes there are no uncertain tax positions which, based on their technical merit, would not be sustained upon examination and for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.
Multiple Class — All shares of the fund represent an equal pro rata interest in the net assets of the class to which such shares belong, and have identical voting, dividend, liquidation and other rights and the same terms and conditions, except for class specific expenses and exclusive rights to vote on matters affecting only individual classes. Income, non-class specific expenses, and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses of the fund are allocated to each class of shares based on their relative net assets.
Distributions to Shareholders — Distributions from net investment income, if any, are declared daily and paid monthly. The fund may make capital gains distributions to comply with the distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue Code.
Indemnifications — Under the trust’s organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the fund. In addition, in the normal course of business, the fund enters into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against a fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered by management to be remote.
3. Fees and Transactions with Related Parties
Certain officers and trustees of the trust are also officers and/or directors of American Century Companies, Inc. (ACC). The trust's investment advisor, American Century Investment Management, Inc. (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 0.2370% to 0.3500% and the rates for the Complex Fee range from 0.2500% to 0.3100%. The effective annual management fee for each class for the period ended March 31, 2019 was 0.57%.
Distribution and Service Fees — The Board of Trustees has adopted a separate Master Distribution and Individual Shareholder Services Plan for each of the A Class and C Class (collectively the plans), pursuant to Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act. The plans provide that the A Class will pay ACIS an annual distribution and service fee of 0.25%. The plans provide that the C Class will pay ACIS an annual distribution and service fee of 0.75%, of which 0.25% is paid for individual shareholder services and 0.50% is paid for distribution services. The fees are computed and accrued daily based on each class’s daily net assets and paid monthly in arrears. The fees are used to pay financial intermediaries for distribution and individual shareholder services. Fees incurred under the plans during the period ended March 31, 2019 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 sales were $2,000,000 and there were no interfund purchases. The interfund transactions had no
effect on the Statement of Operations in net realized gain (loss) on investment transactions.

5. Fair Value Measurements
The fund’s investments valuation process is based on several considerations and may use multiple inputs to determine the fair value of the investments held by the fund. In conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the inputs used to determine a valuation are classified into three broad levels.
| |
• | Level 1 valuation inputs consist of unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical investments. |
| |
• | Level 2 valuation inputs consist of direct or indirect observable market data (including quoted prices for comparable investments, evaluations of subsequent market events, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.). These inputs also consist of quoted prices for identical investments initially expressed in local currencies that are adjusted through translation into U.S. dollars. |
| |
• | Level 3 valuation inputs consist of unobservable data (including a fund’s own assumptions). |
The level classification is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair valuation measurement. The valuation inputs are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in these securities or other financial instruments.
As of period end, the fund’s investment securities were classified as Level 2. The Schedule of Investments provides additional information on the fund’s portfolio holdings.
6. Federal Tax Information
The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018 were as follows:
|
| | | | | | |
| 2019 | 2018 |
Distributions Paid From | | |
Ordinary income | $ | 23,235,481 |
| $ | 9,800,046 |
|
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 March 31, 2019, the fund had undistributed ordinary income for federal income tax purposes of $7,124.
7. Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-08, “Receivables - Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20), Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities” (ASU 2017-08). ASU 2017-08 amends the amortization period for certain purchased callable debt securities held at a premium, shortening such period to the earliest call date. The amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Management is currently evaluating the impact that adopting ASU 2017-08 will have on the financial statements.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm |
To the Board of Trustees of American Century Investment Trust and Shareholders of Prime Money Market Fund:
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of Prime Money Market Fund (one of the funds constituting American Century Investment Trust, referred to hereafter as the “Fund”) as of March 31, 2019, the related statement of operations for the year ended March 31, 2019, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended March 31, 2019, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended March 31, 2019 (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of March 31, 2019, 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 ended March 31, 2019 and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended March 31, 2019 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of March 31, 2019 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits 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 Jonathan S. Thomas, 16; and Ronald J. Gilson, 9) 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 Jonathan S. Thomas is 1665 Charleston Road, Mountain View, California 94043. The mailing address for Jonathan S. Thomas is 4500 Main Street, Kansas City, Missouri 64111.

Retirement Account Information
As required by law, distributions you receive from certain retirement accounts are subject to federal income tax withholding, unless you elect not to have withholding apply*. Tax will be withheld on the total amount withdrawn even though you may be receiving amounts that are not subject to withholding, such as nondeductible contributions. In such case, excess amounts of withholding could occur. You may adjust your withholding election so that a greater or lesser amount will be withheld.
If you don’t want us to withhold on this amount, you must notify us to not withhold the federal income tax. You may notify us in writing or in certain situations by telephone or through other electronic means. For systematic withdrawals, your withholding election will remain in effect until revoked or changed by filing a new election. You have the right to revoke your election at any time and change your withholding percentage for future distributions.
Remember, even if you elect not to have income tax withheld, you are liable for paying income tax on the taxable portion of your withdrawal. If you elect not to have income tax withheld or you don’t have enough income tax withheld, you may be responsible for payment of estimated tax. You may incur penalties under the estimated tax rules if your withholding and estimated tax payments are not sufficient. You can reduce or defer the income tax on a distribution by directly or indirectly rolling such distribution over to another IRA or eligible plan. You should consult your tax advisor for additional information.
State tax will be withheld if, at the time of your distribution, your address is within one of the mandatory withholding states and you have federal income tax withheld (or as otherwise required by state law). State taxes will be withheld from your distribution in accordance with the respective state rules.
*Some 403(b), 457 and qualified retirement plan distributions may be subject to 20% mandatory withholding, as they are subject to special tax and withholding rules. Your plan administrator or plan sponsor is required to provide you with a special tax notice explaining those rules at the time you request a distribution. If applicable, federal and/or state taxes may be withheld from your distribution amount.

Dear Investor:
Thank you for reviewing this annual report for the period ended March 31, 2019. Annual reports help convey important information about fund returns, including market factors that affected performance during the reporting period. For additional, updated investment and market insights, we encourage you to visit our website, americancentury.com.
Markets Ended Roller-Coaster Period on Upswing
For the first half of the period, U.S. stocks climbed higher, while bond returns headed lower. Robust economic growth, bolstered by federal tax and regulatory reform, and record corporate earnings results fueled risk-on sentiment that drove stock prices higher. Meanwhile, the combination of strong economic data, the Federal Reserve’s (Fed’s) ongoing rate-hike campaign and an uptick in inflation pushed investment-grade bond returns lower.
Market trends began changing in late 2018. Mounting investor concerns about slowing global economic and earnings growth, U.S.-China trade tensions and rising interest rates triggered widespread volatility. Stock prices plunged as investors sought safe-haven investments, including U.S. Treasuries. Furthermore, the Fed issued another rate hike in December, its fourth of the year, and maintained its hawkish outlook. Investors feared the December rate increase and the Fed’s plans for two more rate hikes in 2019 were too aggressive, and risk-off investing remained in favor.
January brought a renewed sense of stability to the markets. Investors’ concerns about growth and trade eased, and the Fed changed course, pausing its rate-hike campaign amid moderating global growth and inflation. Valuations appeared attractive after the late-2018 sell-off, and risk-on investing resumed. In March, the Fed held rates steady again, hinting additional tightening was off the table for 2019. This news drove stock and bond returns higher and left both asset classes on an upward track to end the period. Overall, stocks (S&P 500 Index) overcame their late-2018 nosedive to gain 9.50% for the period. Bonds (Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index) bounced back from losses early in the period to return 4.48%.
We expect volatility to remain a formidable factor as investors react to global growth trends, central bank policy and geopolitical developments. We believe this scenario underscores the importance of using professionally managed portfolios in pursuit of investment goals. We appreciate your continued trust and confidence in us.
Sincerely,
Jonathan Thomas
President and Chief Executive Officer
American Century Investments

Portfolio Managers: Bob Gahagan, Hando Aguilar, Jeff Houston, Jim Platz and Charles Tan
Effective October 31, 2018, Charles Tan joined the portfolio management team, replacing Dave MacEwen, who left the team ahead of his December 31, 2018, retirement.
Performance Summary
Short Duration returned 2.87%* for the 12 months ended March 31, 2019. By comparison, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. 1-3 Year Government/Credit Bond Index gained 3.03%. Fund returns reflect operating expenses, while index returns do not.
Returns for the fund and the index reflect a positive, yet challenging, environment for fixed-income securities. The 12-month period witnessed a marked shift in Federal Reserve (Fed) policy and investor sentiment toward the U.S. and global economic growth outlook, which influenced performance in the fixed-income market. In the first several months of the period, robust economic growth, rising inflation and the Fed’s steady rate-tightening strategy drove Treasury yields higher. Investment-grade bond returns were generally flat to slightly negative. Meanwhile, risk-on investing remained in favor, and higher-yielding securities outperformed. The environment reversed sharply in late 2018, as worries about future economic and corporate earnings growth, U.S.-China trade negotiations and a surprisingly bullish Fed outlook triggered severe volatility in the equity markets. After climbing to a reporting period high of 3.24% in early November (according to Bloomberg), the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield plunged to 2.68% by the end of December 2018, as investors fled risk assets in favor of perceived safe-haven investments.
The new year brought a new sense of stability to the financial markets. Progress with U.S.-China trade negotiations and better-than-feared U.S. economic and earnings data helped restore some investor optimism. Additionally, the Fed paused its rate-hike campaign in January, seemingly acknowledging its December plan for two rate hikes in 2019 may have been too aggressive. Investors responded enthusiastically to this backdrop, and risk assets returned to favor. Meanwhile, Treasury yields moved modestly lower. Then, at its March monetary policy meeting, the Fed held rates steady and suggested additional tightening was likely off the table for 2019. This news triggered a sharp rally among Treasuries, and the 10-year Treasury note ended March 2019 yielding 2.41%, compared with 2.74% a year earlier.
Overall, the Treasury market rally of late 2018 and early 2019 supported broad U.S. fixed-income gains for the entire 12-month period. In general, longer-duration securities (those with greater sensitivity to interest rate changes) outperformed shorter-duration securities, and lower-quality bonds outperformed higher-quality bonds.
Duration Was a Modest Detractor
The dramatic decline in short-maturity interest rates coupled with significant flattening of the yield curve in late 2018 and early 2019 created challenges for shorter-duration assets and strategies. In this environment, our slightly shorter-than-index duration modestly detracted from relative results.
* 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 index, other share classes may not. See page 3 for returns for all share classes.
Corporate, Securitized Bonds Aided Performance
We continued to underweight Treasuries and government agencies relative to the index in favor of spread (non-Treasury) sectors, including corporate credit and securitized bonds. This positioning boosted the portfolio’s relative returns, given the broad outperformance of corporate and securitized bonds relative to government securities.
Within the corporate sector, our out-of-index position in high-yield bonds was a significant contributor to relative results, particularly in early 2019. In addition, our selections among investment-grade corporates added value. We continued to favor securities with BBB credit ratings, which generally outperformed their higher-quality peers. Within the securitized sector, positions among non-agency collateralized mortgage obligations and commercial mortgage-backed securities, collateralized loan obligations and asset-back securities contributed to performance.
Portfolio Positioning
We expect the U.S. economy to continue to grow, but at a more moderate pace (2.0% to 2.5% annualized). However, we expect U.S. economic growth to remain more robust than growth in Europe and Japan. We expect headline inflation to eventually converge with core inflation near 2%. These factors should enable the Fed to remain on hold throughout the remainder of 2019. Against a backdrop of slowing global growth, geopolitical uncertainties (mainly Brexit) and a dovish Fed, we expect the 10-year Treasury yield to fluctuate within a near-term range of 2.35% to 2.80%.
We do not believe the dramatic flattening (and brief) inversion of the yield curve late in the reporting period is an indication of a looming recession. Instead, we believe the curve flattened in response to the Fed’s unexpected pivot to dovish monetary policy. We believe the Fed’s change of course is more reflective of a lack of inflation than a lack of growth. Given the yield curve’s notable flattening, we initiated a position designed to take advantage of our outlook for the curve between two and five years to steepen.
Additionally, we expect to maintain our preference for spread sectors versus Treasuries, remaining mindful of market conditions. For example, in light of the strong rally in risk assets in the final months of the reporting period, we took profits in and reduced exposure to investment-grade and high-yield corporate bonds. We also took profits in credit-sensitive mortgage-backed securities that participated in the rally. We will continue to look for opportunities to tactically add exposure to riskier corporate and securitized securities, as valuations, fundamentals and market conditions dictate. However, from a longer-term, strategic perspective, we plan to reduce spread sector risk, given the potential for spread widening as the credit cycle matures. As always, we favor a bottom-up approach to portfolio management, emphasizing careful security selection.

Portfolio at a Glance | |
Average Duration (effective) | 1.8 years |
Weighted Average Life to Maturity | 2.5 years |
| |
Types of Investments in Portfolio | % of net assets |
Corporate Bonds | 33.0% |
U.S. Treasury Securities | 25.4% |

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 October 1, 2018 to March 31, 2019.
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 I 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 182, the number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year, divided by 365, to reflect the one-half year period. Annualized expense ratio reflects actual expenses, including any applicable fee waivers or expense reimbursements and excluding any acquired fund fees and expenses. |

‡The maximum potential amount the fund could be required to deliver as a seller of credit protection if a credit event occurs as defined under the terms of the agreement is the notional amount. The maximum potential amount may be partially offset by any recovery values of the reference entities and upfront payments received upon entering into the agreement.
^The value for credit default swap agreements serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and represent the likelihood of an expected liability or profit at the period end. Increasing values in absolute terms when compared to the notional amount of the credit default swap agreement represent a deterioration of the referenced entity's credit soundness and an increased likelihood or risk of a credit event occurring as defined in the agreement.

MARCH 31, 2019
1. Organization
American Century Investment Trust (the trust) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company and is organized as a Massachusetts business trust. Short Duration Fund (the fund) is one fund in a series issued by the trust. The fund’s investment objective is to seek to maximize total return. As a secondary objective, the fund seeks a high level of income.
The fund offers the Investor Class, I Class, A Class, C Class, R Class, R5 Class and R6 Class. The A Class may incur an initial sales charge. The A Class and C Class may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge. Sale of the I Class and R6 Class commenced on April 10, 2017 and July 28, 2017, respectively.
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. Corporate bonds, U.S. Treasury and Government Agency securities, convertible bonds, bank loan obligations, municipal securities, and sovereign governments and agencies are valued using market models that consider trade data, quotations from dealers and active market makers, relevant yield curve and spread data, creditworthiness, trade data or market information on comparable securities, and other relevant security specific information. Mortgage-related and asset-backed securities are valued based on models that consider trade data, prepayment and default projections, benchmark yield and spread data and estimated cash flows of each tranche of the issuer. Collateralized loan obligations are valued based on discounted cash flow models that consider trade and economic data, prepayment assumptions and default projections. Commercial paper is valued using a curve-based approach that considers money market rates for specific instruments, programs, currencies and maturity points from a variety of active market makers. Fixed income securities initially expressed in local currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the mean of the appropriate currency exchange rate at the close of the NYSE as provided by an independent pricing service.
Open-end management investment companies are valued at the reported net asset value per share. Repurchase agreements are valued at cost, which approximates fair value. Exchange-traded futures contracts are valued at the settlement price as provided by the appropriate exchange. Swap agreements are valued at an evaluated mean as provided by independent pricing services or independent brokers. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are valued at the mean of the appropriate forward exchange rate at the close of the NYSE as provided by an independent pricing service. Investments initially expressed in local currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the mean of the appropriate currency exchange rate at the close of the NYSE as provided by an independent pricing service.
If the 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 paydown gain (loss) and accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums. Inflation adjustments related to inflation-linked debt securities are reflected as interest income.
Foreign Currency Translations — All assets and liabilities initially expressed in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at prevailing exchange rates at period end. The fund may enter into spot foreign currency exchange contracts to facilitate transactions denominated in a foreign currency. Purchases and sales of investment securities, dividend and interest income, spot foreign currency exchange contracts, and expenses are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. Net realized and unrealized foreign currency exchange gains or losses related to investment securities are a component of net realized gain (loss) on investment transactions and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments, respectively.
Repurchase Agreements — The fund may enter into repurchase agreements with institutions that American Century Investment Management, Inc. (ACIM) (the investment advisor) has determined are creditworthy pursuant to criteria adopted by the Board of Trustees. The fund requires that the collateral, represented by securities, received in a repurchase transaction be transferred to the custodian in a manner sufficient to enable the fund to obtain those securities in the event of a default under the repurchase agreement. ACIM monitors, on a daily basis, the securities transferred to ensure the value, including accrued interest, of the securities under each repurchase agreement is equal to or greater than amounts owed to the fund under each repurchase agreement.
Joint Trading Account — Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the fund, along with certain other funds in the American Century Investments family of funds, may transfer uninvested cash balances into a joint trading account. These balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Agency obligations.
Segregated Assets — In accordance with the 1940 Act, the fund segregates assets on its books and records to cover certain types of investment securities and other financial instruments. ACIM 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 collateral requirements.
Income Tax Status — It is the fund’s policy to distribute substantially all net investment income and net realized gains to shareholders and to otherwise qualify as a regulated investment company under provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, no provision has been made for income taxes. The fund files U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S. tax returns as applicable. The fund's tax returns are subject to examination by the relevant taxing authority until expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, which is generally three years from the date of filing but can be longer in certain jurisdictions. At this time, management believes there are no uncertain tax positions which, based on their technical merit, would not be sustained upon examination and for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.
Multiple Class — All shares of the fund represent an equal pro rata interest in the net assets of the class to which such shares belong, and have identical voting, dividend, liquidation and other rights and the same terms and conditions, except for class specific expenses and exclusive rights to vote on matters affecting only individual classes. Income, non-class specific expenses, and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses of the fund are allocated to each class of shares based on their relative net assets.
Distributions to Shareholders — Distributions from net investment income, if any, are declared daily and paid monthly. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are generally declared and paid annually.
Indemnifications — Under the trust’s organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the fund. In addition, in the normal course of business, the fund enters into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against a fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered by management to be remote.
3. Fees and Transactions with Related Parties
Certain officers and trustees of the trust are also officers and/or directors of American Century Companies, Inc. (ACC). The trust's investment advisor, ACIM, the trust's distributor, American Century Investment Services, Inc. (ACIS), and the trust's transfer agent, American Century Services, LLC, are wholly owned, directly or indirectly, by ACC. Various funds issued by American Century Asset Allocation Portfolios, Inc. own, in aggregate, 7% of the shares of the fund.
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 difference in the fee among the classes is a result of their separate arrangements for non-Rule 12b-1 shareholder services. It is not the result of any difference in advisory or custodial fees or other expenses related to the management of the fund’s assets, which do not vary by class. The fee consists of (1) an Investment Category Fee based on the daily net assets of the fund and certain other accounts managed by the investment advisor that are in the same broad investment category as the fund and (2) a Complex Fee based on the assets of all the funds in the American Century Investments family of funds.
The Investment Category Fee range, the Complex Fee range and the effective annual management fee for each class for the period ended March 31, 2019 are as follows:
|
| | | |
| Investment Category Fee Range | Complex Fee Range | Effective Annual Management Fee |
Investor Class | 0.2825% to 0.4000%* | 0.2500% to 0.3100% | 0.59% |
I Class | 0.1500% to 0.2100% | 0.49% |
A Class | 0.2500% to 0.3100% | 0.59% |
C Class | 0.2500% to 0.3100% | 0.59% |
R Class | 0.2500% to 0.3100% | 0.59% |
R5 Class | 0.0500% to 0.1100% | 0.39% |
R6 Class | 0.0000% to 0.0600% | 0.34% |
*Prior to August 1, 2018, the Investment Category Fee range was 0.2925% to 0.4100%.
Distribution and Service Fees — The Board of Trustees has adopted a separate Master Distribution and Individual Shareholder Services Plan for each of the A Class, C Class and R Class (collectively the plans), pursuant to Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act. The plans provide that the A Class will pay ACIS an annual distribution and service fee of 0.25%. The plans provide that the C Class will pay ACIS an annual distribution and service fee of 1.00%, of which 0.25% is paid for individual shareholder services and 0.75% is paid for distribution services. The plans provide that the R Class will pay ACIS an annual distribution and service fee of 0.50%. The fees are computed and accrued daily based on each class’s daily net assets and paid monthly in arrears. The fees are used to pay financial intermediaries for distribution and individual shareholder services. Fees incurred under the plans during the period ended March 31, 2019 are detailed in the Statement of Operations.
Trustees’ Fees and Expenses — The Board of Trustees is responsible for overseeing the investment advisor’s management and operations of the fund. The trustees receive detailed information about the fund and its investment advisor regularly throughout the year, and meet at least quarterly with management of the investment advisor to review reports about fund operations. The fund’s officers do not receive compensation from the fund.
Interfund Transactions — The fund may enter into security transactions with other American Century Investments funds and other client accounts of the investment advisor, in accordance with the 1940 Act rules and procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. The rules and procedures require, among other things, that these transactions be effected at the independent current market price of the security. There were no interfund transactions during the period.
4. Investment Transactions
Purchases of investment securities, excluding short-term investments, for the period ended March 31, 2019 totaled $274,006,876, of which $183,427,244 represented U.S. Treasury and Government Agency obligations.
Sales of investment securities, excluding short-term investments, for the period ended March 31, 2019 totaled $281,147,670, of which $134,272,658 represented U.S. Treasury and Government Agency obligations.

6. Fair Value Measurements
The fund’s investments valuation process is based on several considerations and may use multiple inputs to determine the fair value of the investments held by the fund. In conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the inputs used to determine a valuation are classified into three broad levels.
| |
• | Level 1 valuation inputs consist of unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical investments. |
| |
• | Level 2 valuation inputs consist of direct or indirect observable market data (including quoted prices for comparable investments, evaluations of subsequent market events, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.). These inputs also consist of quoted prices for identical investments initially expressed in local currencies that are adjusted through translation into U.S. dollars. |
| |
• | Level 3 valuation inputs consist of unobservable data (including a fund’s own assumptions). |
The level classification is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair valuation measurement. The valuation inputs are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in these securities or other financial instruments.
The following is a summary of the level classifications as of period end. The Schedule of Investments provides additional information on the fund’s portfolio holdings.

7. Derivative Instruments
Credit Risk — The fund is subject to credit risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The value of a bond generally declines as the credit quality of its issuer declines. Credit default swap agreements enable a fund to buy/sell protection against a credit event of a specific issuer or index. A fund may attempt to enhance returns by selling protection or attempt to mitigate credit risk by buying protection. The buyer/seller of credit protection against a security or basket of securities may pay/receive an up-front or periodic payment to compensate for/against potential default events. Changes in value, including the periodic amounts of interest to be paid or received on swap agreements, are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on swap agreements. Upon entering into a centrally cleared swap, a fund is required to deposit cash or securities (initial margin) with a financial intermediary in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the notional amount. Subsequent payments (variation margin) are made or received daily, in cash, by a fund. The variation margin is equal to the daily change in the value and is a component of unrealized gains and losses. Realized gain or loss is recorded upon receipt or payment of a periodic settlement or termination of swap agreements. Net realized and unrealized gains or losses occurring during the holding period of swap agreements are a component of net realized gain (loss) on swap agreement transactions and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on swap agreements, respectively. The risks of entering into swap agreements include the possible lack of liquidity, failure of the counterparty to meet its obligations, and that there may be unfavorable changes in the underlying investments or instruments. The fund's average notional amount held during the period was $9,962,500.
Foreign Currency Risk — The fund is subject to foreign currency exchange rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The value of foreign investments held by a fund may be significantly affected by changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The dollar value of a foreign security generally decreases when the value of the dollar rises against the foreign currency in which the security is denominated and tends to increase when the value of the dollar declines against such foreign currency. A fund may enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts to reduce a fund's exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations or to gain exposure to the fluctuations in the value of foreign currencies. The net U.S. dollar value of foreign currency underlying all contractual commitments held by a fund and the resulting unrealized appreciation or depreciation are determined daily. Realized gain or loss is recorded upon the termination of the contract. Net realized and unrealized gains or losses occurring during the holding period of forward foreign currency exchange contracts are a component of net realized gain (loss) on forward foreign currency exchange contract transactions and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on forward foreign currency exchange contracts, respectively. A fund bears the risk of an unfavorable change in the foreign currency exchange rate underlying the forward contract. Additionally, losses, up to the fair value, may arise if the counterparties do not perform under the contract terms. The fund's average U.S. dollar exposure to foreign currency risk derivative instruments held during the period was $45,698,801.
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 notional exposure to interest rate risk derivative instruments held during the period was $117,841,667 futures contracts purchased and $36,690,956 futures contracts sold.

8. Risk Factors
There are certain risks involved in investing in foreign securities. These risks include those resulting from political events (such as civil unrest, national elections and imposition of exchange controls), social and economic events (such as labor strikes and rising inflation), and natural disasters. Securities of foreign issuers may be less liquid and more volatile. Investing in emerging markets or a significant portion of assets in one country or region may accentuate these risks.
9. Federal Tax Information
The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018 were as follows:
|
| | | | | | |
| 2019 | 2018 |
Distributions Paid From | | |
Ordinary income | $ | 10,381,013 |
| $ | 8,090,885 |
|
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 period end, the federal tax cost of investments and the components of distributable earnings on a tax-basis were as follows:
|
| | | |
Federal tax cost of investments | $ | 402,897,866 |
|
Gross tax appreciation of investments | $ | 2,446,450 |
|
Gross tax depreciation of investments | (1,731,808 | ) |
Net tax appreciation (depreciation) of investments | 714,642 |
|
Net tax appreciation (depreciation) on derivatives and translation of assets and liabilities in foreign currencies | 36,191 |
|
Net tax appreciation (depreciation) | $ | 750,833 |
|
Other book-to-tax adjustments | $ | (544,068 | ) |
Undistributed ordinary income | — |
|
Accumulated short-term capital losses | $ | (5,354,971 | ) |
Accumulated long-term capital losses
| $ | (4,910,904 | ) |
Late-year ordinary loss deferral | $ | (635,840 | ) |
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is attributable primarily to the realization for tax purposes of unrealized gains (losses) on futures contracts. 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.
Loss deferrals represent certain qualified losses that the fund has elected to treat as having been incurred in the following fiscal year for federal income tax purposes.
10. Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-08, “Receivables - Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20), Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities” (ASU 2017-08). ASU 2017-08 amends the amortization period for certain purchased callable debt securities held at a premium, shortening such period to the earliest call date. The amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Management is currently evaluating the impact that adopting ASU 2017-08 will have on the financial statements.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm |
To the Board of Trustees of American Century Investment Trust and Shareholders of Short Duration Fund:
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of Short Duration Fund (one of the funds constituting American Century Investment Trust, referred to hereafter as the “Fund”) as of March 31, 2019, the related statement of operations for the year ended March 31, 2019, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended March 31, 2019, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of March 31, 2019, 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 ended March 31, 2019 and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of March 31, 2019 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits 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 Jonathan S. Thomas, 16; and Ronald J. Gilson, 9) 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 Jonathan S. Thomas is 1665 Charleston Road, Mountain View, California 94043. The mailing address for Jonathan S. Thomas is 4500 Main Street, Kansas City, Missouri 64111.

Retirement Account Information
As required by law, distributions you receive from certain retirement accounts are subject to federal income tax withholding, unless you elect not to have withholding apply*. Tax will be withheld on the total amount withdrawn even though you may be receiving amounts that are not subject to withholding, such as nondeductible contributions. In such case, excess amounts of withholding could occur. You may adjust your withholding election so that a greater or lesser amount will be withheld.
If you don’t want us to withhold on this amount, you must notify us to not withhold the federal income tax. You may notify us in writing or in certain situations by telephone or through other electronic means. For systematic withdrawals, your withholding election will remain in effect until revoked or changed by filing a new election. You have the right to revoke your election at any time and change your withholding percentage for future distributions.
Remember, even if you elect not to have income tax withheld, you are liable for paying income tax on the taxable portion of your withdrawal. If you elect not to have income tax withheld or you don’t have enough income tax withheld, you may be responsible for payment of estimated tax. You may incur penalties under the estimated tax rules if your withholding and estimated tax payments are not sufficient. You can reduce or defer the income tax on a distribution by directly or indirectly rolling such distribution over to another IRA or eligible plan. You should consult your tax advisor for additional information.
State tax will be withheld if, at the time of your distribution, your address is within one of the mandatory withholding states and you have federal income tax withheld (or as otherwise required by state law). State taxes will be withheld from your distribution in accordance with the respective state rules.
*Some 403(b), 457 and qualified retirement plan distributions may be subject to 20% mandatory withholding, as they are subject to special tax and withholding rules. Your plan administrator or plan sponsor is required to provide you with a special tax notice explaining those rules at the time you request a distribution. If applicable, federal and/or state taxes may be withheld from your distribution amount.

Dear Investor:
Thank you for reviewing this annual report for the period ended March 31, 2019. Annual reports help convey important information about fund returns, including market factors that affected performance during the reporting period. For additional, updated investment and market insights, we encourage you to visit our website, americancentury.com.
Markets Ended Roller-Coaster Period on Upswing
For the first half of the period, U.S. stocks climbed higher, while bond returns headed lower. Robust economic growth, bolstered by federal tax and regulatory reform, and record corporate earnings results fueled risk-on sentiment that drove stock prices higher. Meanwhile, the combination of strong economic data, the Federal Reserve’s (Fed’s) ongoing rate-hike campaign and an uptick in inflation pushed investment-grade bond returns lower.
Market trends began changing in late 2018. Mounting investor concerns about slowing global economic and earnings growth, U.S.-China trade tensions and rising interest rates triggered widespread volatility. Stock prices plunged as investors sought safe-haven investments, including U.S. Treasuries. Furthermore, the Fed issued another rate hike in December, its fourth of the year, and maintained its hawkish outlook. Investors feared the December rate increase and the Fed’s plans for two more rate hikes in 2019 were too aggressive, and risk-off investing remained in favor.
January brought a renewed sense of stability to the markets. Investors’ concerns about growth and trade eased, and the Fed changed course, pausing its rate-hike campaign amid moderating global growth and inflation. Valuations appeared attractive after the late-2018 sell-off, and risk-on investing resumed. In March, the Fed held rates steady again, hinting additional tightening was off the table for 2019. This news drove stock and bond returns higher and left both asset classes on an upward track to end the period. Overall, stocks (S&P 500 Index) overcame their late-2018 nosedive to gain 9.50% for the period. Bonds (Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index) bounced back from losses early in the period to return 4.48%.
We expect volatility to remain a formidable factor as investors react to global growth trends, central bank policy and geopolitical developments. We believe this scenario underscores the importance of using professionally managed portfolios in pursuit of investment goals. We appreciate your continued trust and confidence in us.
Sincerely,
Jonathan Thomas
President and Chief Executive Officer
American Century Investments

Performance Summary
Short Duration Inflation Protection Bond returned 1.79%* for the 12 months ended March 31, 2019. By comparison, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. 1-5 Year Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS) Index gained 2.04%. Fund returns reflect operating expenses, while index returns do not.
Performance reflects the positive, yet challenging, backdrop for short-duration (less price sensitivity to interest rate changes) TIPS as interest rates and inflation expectations declined overall. The 12-month period witnessed a marked shift in growth and inflation trends, Federal Reserve (Fed) policy and investor sentiment, which influenced performance in the fixed-income market. In the first several months of the period, robust economic growth, rising inflation and the Fed’s steady rate-tightening strategy drove Treasury yields higher. Investment-grade bond returns were generally flat to slightly negative, while risk remained in favor. The environment reversed sharply in late 2018, as worries about future economic and corporate earnings growth, U.S.-China trade negotiations and a surprisingly bullish Fed outlook triggered severe volatility in the equity markets. Treasury yields plunged, as investors fled risk assets in favor of perceived safe-haven investments.
The new year brought a new sense of stability to the financial markets. Progress with U.S.-China trade negotiations and better-than-feared U.S. economic and earnings data helped restore some investor optimism. Additionally, the Fed paused its rate-hike campaign in January. Investors responded enthusiastically to this backdrop, and risk assets returned to favor. Meanwhile, Treasury yields moved modestly lower. Then, at its March monetary policy meeting, the Fed held rates steady again and suggested additional tightening was likely off the table for 2019. This news triggered another rally among Treasuries.
Overall, the Treasury market rally of late 2018 and early 2019 supported broad U.S. fixed-income gains for the entire 12-month period. TIPS advanced but underperformed the broad Treasury market as current inflation weakened and inflation expectations declined. The trailing 12-month headline inflation rate (as measured by the Consumer Price Index, or CPI) started the period at 2.4%, reached a reporting-period high of 2.9% in June and July, and ended the period at 1.9%. Annual core CPI (excluding food and energy prices) started the period at 2.0% and ended March 2019 at 1.8%. Longer-term inflation expectations, as measured by the 10-year breakeven rate (the yield difference between nominal 10-year Treasuries and 10-year TIPS), generally tracked headline inflation, rising early in the period before retreating to close the fiscal year at 187 basis points (one basis point equals 0.01%), 18 basis points lower than in March 2018. Theoretically, this rate indicates the market’s expectations for inflation for the next 10 years and also reflects the inflation rate required for TIPS to outperform nominal Treasuries during that period (1.87% or higher).
Duration Was a Modest Detractor
The dramatic decline in short-maturity interest rates coupled with significant flattening of the yield curve in late 2018 and early 2019 created challenges for shorter-duration assets and strategies. In this environment, our slightly shorter-than-index duration modestly detracted from relative results.
* 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 index, other share classes may not. See page 3 for returns for all share classes.
Exposure to Corporate, Securitized Bonds Aided Relative Results
Approximately 84% of the portfolio was invested in TIPS at the end of the reporting period. The remainder included out-of-index allocations to securitized bonds, investment-grade and high-yield corporate bonds, and select U.S. dollar-denominated emerging markets bonds. The portfolio’s position in high-yield corporate bonds was a prominent contributor to performance, particularly in early 2019. Securitized bonds also contributed to performance, largely due to our focus on credit-sensitive securities, including non-agency collateralized mortgage obligations and commercial mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities and collateralized loan obligations. Our investment-grade corporate bonds were modest contributors, while our position in U.S. dollar-denominated emerging markets bonds detracted slightly.
To diversify inflation protection, we used inflation swaps to create an inflation overlay for the non-inflation-linked corporate and securitized securities. Inflation swaps are fixed-maturity instruments, negotiated through a counterparty (investment bank), that return the rate of inflation (CPI). All swaps bear counterparty credit risk, but American Century Investments applies stringent controls and oversight with regard to this risk. Overall, this strategy, combined with the portfolio’s corporate and securitized bonds, contributed modestly to results for the 12-month period.
Portfolio Positioning
Our portfolio positioning reflects our expectations for year-over-year headline and core inflation to converge near the Fed’s 2% target over the next several months. We expect the U.S. economy to continue to grow, but at a more moderate pace (2.0% to 2.5% annualized). However, we expect U.S. economic growth to remain more robust than growth in Europe and Japan. These factors should enable the Fed to remain on hold throughout the remainder of 2019. Meanwhile, market-based inflation expectations, including breakeven rates, remain below historic averages, suggesting TIPS and other inflation-linked securities still offer value. Although we have reduced risk in our out-of-index allocations, we will continue to look for opportunities among corporate bonds, securitized securities, emerging markets bonds and inflation swaps wherever value is apparent.

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 October 1, 2018 to March 31, 2019.
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 I 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.

MARCH 31, 2019
1. Organization
American Century Investment Trust (the trust) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company and is organized as a Massachusetts business trust. Short Duration Inflation Protection Bond Fund (the fund) is one fund in a series issued by the trust. The fund’s investment objective is to pursue total return using a strategy that seeks to protect against U.S. inflation.
The fund offers the Investor Class, I Class, Y Class, A Class, C Class, R Class, R5 Class, R6 Class and G Class. The A Class may incur an initial sales charge. The A Class and C Class may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge. Sale of the I Class and Y Class commenced on April 10, 2017 and sale of the G Class commenced on July 28, 2017.
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. Corporate bonds, U.S. Treasury and Government Agency securities, convertible bonds, bank loan obligations, municipal securities, and sovereign governments and agencies are valued using market models that consider trade data, quotations from dealers and active market makers, relevant yield curve and spread data, creditworthiness, trade data or market information on comparable securities, and other relevant security specific information. Mortgage-related and asset-backed securities are valued based on models that consider trade data, prepayment and default projections, benchmark yield and spread data and estimated cash flows of each tranche of the issuer. Collateralized loan obligations are valued based on discounted cash flow models that consider trade and economic data, prepayment assumptions and default projections. Commercial paper is valued using a curve-based approach that considers money market rates for specific instruments, programs, currencies and maturity points from a variety of active market makers.
Open-end management investment companies are valued at the reported net asset value per share. Exchange-traded futures contracts are valued at the settlement price as provided by the appropriate exchange. Swap agreements are valued at an evaluated mean as provided by independent pricing services or independent brokers. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are valued at the mean of the appropriate forward exchange rate at the close of the NYSE as provided by an independent pricing service.
If the 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 paydown gain (loss) and accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums. Inflation adjustments related to inflation-linked debt securities are reflected as interest income.
Foreign Currency Translations — All assets and liabilities initially expressed in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at prevailing exchange rates at period end. The fund may enter into spot foreign currency exchange contracts to facilitate transactions denominated in a foreign currency. Purchases and sales of investment securities, dividend and interest income, spot foreign currency exchange contracts, and expenses are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. Net realized and unrealized foreign currency exchange gains or losses related to investment securities are a component of net realized gain (loss) on investment transactions and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments, respectively.
Segregated Assets — In accordance with the 1940 Act, the fund segregates assets on its books and records to cover certain types of investment securities and other financial instruments. 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 collateral requirements.
Income Tax Status — It is the fund’s policy to distribute substantially all net investment income and net realized gains to shareholders and to otherwise qualify as a regulated investment company under provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, no provision has been made for income taxes. The fund files U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S. tax returns as applicable. The fund's tax returns are subject to examination by the relevant taxing authority until expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, which is generally three years from the date of filing but can be longer in certain jurisdictions. At this time, management believes there are no uncertain tax positions which, based on their technical merit, would not be sustained upon examination and for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.
Multiple Class — All shares of the fund represent an equal pro rata interest in the net assets of the class to which such shares belong, and have identical voting, dividend, liquidation and other rights and the same terms and conditions, except for class specific expenses and exclusive rights to vote on matters affecting only individual classes. Income, non-class specific expenses, and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses of the fund are allocated to each class of shares based on their relative net assets.
Distributions to Shareholders — Distributions from net investment income, if any, are generally declared and paid quarterly, but may be paid less frequently. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are generally declared and paid annually.
Indemnifications — Under the trust’s organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the fund. In addition, in the normal course of business, the fund enters into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against a fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered by management to be remote.
3. Fees and Transactions with Related Parties
Certain officers and trustees of the trust are also officers and/or directors of American Century Companies, Inc. (ACC). The trust's investment advisor, ACIM, the trust's distributor, American Century Investment Services, Inc. (ACIS), and the trust's transfer agent, American Century Services, LLC, are wholly owned, directly or indirectly, by ACC. Various funds issued by American Century Asset Allocation Portfolios, Inc. own, in aggregate, 34% of the shares of the fund. Related parties do not invest in the fund for the purpose of exercising management or control.
Management Fees — The trust has entered into a management agreement with ACIM, under which ACIM provides the fund with investment advisory and management services in exchange for a single, unified management fee (the fee) per class. The agreement provides that 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 difference in the fee among the classes is a result of their separate arrangements for non-Rule 12b-1 shareholder services. It is not the result of any difference in advisory or custodial fees or other expenses related to the management of the fund’s assets, which do not vary by class. The fee consists of (1) an Investment Category Fee based on the daily net assets of the fund and certain other accounts managed by the investment advisor that are in the same broad investment category as the fund and (2) a Complex Fee based on the assets of all the funds in the American Century Investments family of funds. The investment advisor agreed to waive the G Class’s management fee in its entirety. The investment advisor expects this waiver to remain in effect permanently and cannot terminate it without the approval of the Board of Trustees.
The Investment Category Fee range, the Complex Fee range and the effective annual management fee for each class for the period ended March 31, 2019 are as follows:
|
| | | |
| Investment Category Fee Range | Complex Fee Range | Effective Annual Management Fee |
Investor Class | 0.2625% to 0.3800% | 0.2500% to 0.3100% | 0.56% |
I Class | 0.1500% to 0.2100% | 0.46% |
Y Class | 0.0500% to 0.1100% | 0.36% |
A Class | 0.2500% to 0.3100% | 0.56% |
C Class | 0.2500% to 0.3100% | 0.56% |
R Class | 0.2500% to 0.3100% | 0.56% |
R5 Class | 0.0500% to 0.1100% | 0.36% |
R6 Class | 0.0000% to 0.0600% | 0.31% |
G Class | 0.0000% to 0.0600% | 0.00%(1) |
| |
(1) | Effective annual management fee before waiver was 0.31%. |
Distribution and Service Fees — The Board of Trustees has adopted a separate Master Distribution and Individual Shareholder Services Plan for each of the A Class, C Class and R Class (collectively the plans), pursuant to Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act. The plans provide that the A Class will pay ACIS an annual distribution and service fee of 0.25%. The plans provide that the C Class will pay ACIS an annual distribution and service fee of 1.00%, of which 0.25% is paid for individual shareholder services and 0.75% is paid for distribution services. The plans provide that the R Class will pay ACIS an annual distribution and service fee of 0.50%. The fees are computed and accrued daily based on each class’s daily net assets and paid monthly in arrears. The fees are used to pay financial intermediaries for distribution and individual shareholder services. Fees incurred under the plans during the period ended March 31, 2019 are detailed in the Statement of Operations.
Trustees’ Fees and Expenses — The Board of Trustees is responsible for overseeing the investment advisor’s management and operations of the fund. The trustees receive detailed information about the fund and its investment advisor regularly throughout the year, and meet at least quarterly with management of the investment advisor to review reports about fund operations. The fund’s officers do not receive compensation from the fund.
Interfund Transactions — The fund may enter into security transactions with other American Century Investments funds and other client accounts of the investment advisor, in accordance with the 1940 Act rules and procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. The rules and procedures require, among other things, that these transactions be effected at the independent current market price of the security. There were no interfund transactions during the period.
4. Investment Transactions
Purchases of investment securities, excluding short-term investments, for the period ended March 31, 2019 totaled $495,247,778, of which $405,297,052 represented U.S. Treasury and Government Agency obligations.

6. Fair Value Measurements
The fund’s investments valuation process is based on several considerations and may use multiple inputs to determine the fair value of the investments held by the fund. In conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the inputs used to determine a valuation are classified into three broad levels.
| |
• | Level 1 valuation inputs consist of unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical investments. |
| |
• | Level 2 valuation inputs consist of direct or indirect observable market data (including quoted prices for comparable investments, evaluations of subsequent market events, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.). These inputs also consist of quoted prices for identical investments initially expressed in local currencies that are adjusted through translation into U.S. dollars. |
| |
• | Level 3 valuation inputs consist of unobservable data (including a fund’s own assumptions). |
The level classification is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair valuation measurement. The valuation inputs are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in these securities or other financial instruments.
The following is a summary of the level classifications as of period end. The Schedule of Investments provides additional information on the fund’s portfolio holdings.

7. Derivative Instruments
Credit Risk — The fund is subject to credit risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The value of a bond generally declines as the credit quality of its issuer declines. Credit default swap agreements enable a fund to buy/sell protection against a credit event of a specific issuer or index. A fund may attempt to enhance returns by selling protection or attempt to mitigate credit risk by buying protection. The buyer/seller of credit protection against a security or basket of securities may pay/receive an up-front or periodic payment to compensate for/against potential default events. Changes in value, including the periodic amounts of interest to be paid or received on swap agreements, are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on swap agreements. Upon entering into a centrally cleared swap, a fund is required to deposit cash or securities (initial margin) with a financial intermediary in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the notional amount. Subsequent payments (variation margin) are made or received daily, in cash, by a fund. The variation margin is equal to the daily change in the value and is a component of unrealized gains and losses. Realized gain or loss is recorded upon receipt or payment of a periodic settlement or termination of swap agreements. Net realized and unrealized gains or losses occurring during the holding period of swap agreements are a component of net realized gain (loss) on swap agreement transactions and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on swap agreements, respectively. The risks of entering into swap agreements include the possible lack of liquidity, failure of the counterparty to meet its obligations, and that there may be unfavorable changes in the underlying investments or instruments. The fund's average notional amount held during the period was $49,730,000.
Foreign Currency Risk — The fund is subject to foreign currency exchange rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The value of foreign investments held by a fund may be significantly affected by changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The dollar value of a foreign security generally decreases when the value of the dollar rises against the foreign currency in which the security is denominated and tends to increase when the value of the dollar declines against such foreign currency. A fund may enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts to reduce a fund's exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations or to gain exposure to the fluctuations in the value of foreign currencies. The net U.S. dollar value of foreign currency underlying all contractual commitments held by a fund and the resulting unrealized appreciation or depreciation are determined daily. Realized gain or loss is recorded upon the termination of the contract. Net realized and unrealized gains or losses occurring during the holding period of forward foreign currency exchange contracts are a component of net realized gain (loss) on forward foreign currency exchange contract transactions and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on forward foreign currency exchange contracts, respectively. A fund bears the risk of an unfavorable change in the foreign currency exchange rate underlying the forward contract. Additionally, losses, up to the fair value, may arise if the counterparties do not perform under the contract terms. The fund's average U.S. dollar exposure to foreign currency risk derivative instruments held during the period was $188,822,835.
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 notional exposure to interest rate risk derivative instruments held during the period was $51,916,667 futures contracts purchased.
Other Contracts — A fund may enter into total return swap agreements in order to attempt to obtain or preserve a particular return or spread at a lower cost than obtaining a return or spread through purchases and/or sales of instruments in other markets or gain exposure to certain markets in the most economical way possible. A fund will segregate cash, cash equivalents or other appropriate liquid securities on its records in amounts sufficient to meet requirements. Changes in value, including the periodic amounts of interest to be paid or received on swap agreements, are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on swap agreements. Upon entering into a centrally cleared swap, a fund is required to deposit cash or securities (initial margin) with a financial intermediary in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the notional amount. Subsequent payments (variation margin) are made or received daily, in cash, by a fund. The variation margin is equal to the daily change in the value and is a component of unrealized gains and losses. Realized gain or loss is recorded upon receipt or payment of a periodic settlement or termination of swap agreements. Net realized and unrealized gains or losses occurring during the holding period of swap agreements are a component of net realized gain (loss) on swap agreement transactions and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on swap agreements, respectively. The risks of entering into swap agreements include the possible lack of liquidity, failure of the counterparty to meet its obligations, and that there may be unfavorable changes in the underlying investments or instruments, including inflationary risk. The fund's average notional amount held during the period was $228,700,000.

8. Risk Factors
There are certain risks involved in investing in foreign securities. These risks include those resulting from political events (such as civil unrest, national elections and imposition of exchange controls), social and economic events (such as labor strikes and rising inflation), and natural disasters. Securities of foreign issuers may be less liquid and more volatile. Investing in emerging markets or a significant portion of assets in one country or region may accentuate these risks.
9. Federal Tax Information
The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018 were as follows:
|
| | | | | | |
| 2019 | 2018 |
Distributions Paid From | | |
Ordinary income | $ | 40,018,499 |
| $ | 27,766,247 |
|
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 period end, the federal tax cost of investments and the components of distributable earnings on a tax-basis were as follows:
|
| | | |
Federal tax cost of investments | $ | 1,592,143,372 |
|
Gross tax appreciation of investments | $ | 6,874,169 |
|
Gross tax depreciation of investments | (8,397,229 | ) |
Net tax appreciation (depreciation) of investments | (1,523,060 | ) |
Net tax appreciation (depreciation) on derivatives | (919,292 | ) |
Net tax appreciation (depreciation) | $ | (2,442,352 | ) |
Undistributed ordinary income | — |
|
Accumulated short-term capital losses | $ | (6,485,719 | ) |
Accumulated long-term capital losses
| $ | (14,670,377 | ) |
Late-year ordinary loss deferral | $ | (599,948 | ) |
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is attributable primarily to the realization for tax purposes of unrealized gains (losses) on futures contracts.
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.
Loss deferrals represent certain qualified losses that the fund has elected to treat as having been incurred in the following fiscal year for federal income tax purposes.
10. Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-08, “Receivables - Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20), Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities” (ASU 2017-08). ASU 2017-08 amends the amortization period for certain purchased callable debt securities held at a premium, shortening such period to the earliest call date. The amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Management is currently evaluating the impact that adopting ASU 2017-08 will have on the financial statements.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm |
To the Board of Trustees of American Century Investment Trust and Shareholders of Short Duration Inflation Protection Bond Fund:
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of Short Duration Inflation Protection Bond Fund (one of the funds constituting American Century Investment Trust, referred to hereafter as the “Fund”) as of March 31, 2019, the related statement of operations for the year ended March 31, 2019, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended March 31, 2019, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of March 31, 2019, 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 ended March 31, 2019 and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of March 31, 2019 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits 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 Jonathan S. Thomas, 16; and Ronald J. Gilson, 9) 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 Jonathan S. Thomas is 1665 Charleston Road, Mountain View, California 94043. The mailing address for Jonathan S. Thomas is 4500 Main Street, Kansas City, Missouri 64111.

Retirement Account Information
As required by law, distributions you receive from certain retirement accounts are subject to federal income tax withholding, unless you elect not to have withholding apply*. Tax will be withheld on the total amount withdrawn even though you may be receiving amounts that are not subject to withholding, such as nondeductible contributions. In such case, excess amounts of withholding could occur. You may adjust your withholding election so that a greater or lesser amount will be withheld.
If you don’t want us to withhold on this amount, you must notify us to not withhold the federal income tax. You may notify us in writing or in certain situations by telephone or through other electronic means. For systematic withdrawals, your withholding election will remain in effect until revoked or changed by filing a new election. You have the right to revoke your election at any time and change your withholding percentage for future distributions.
Remember, even if you elect not to have income tax withheld, you are liable for paying income tax on the taxable portion of your withdrawal. If you elect not to have income tax withheld or you don’t have enough income tax withheld, you may be responsible for payment of estimated tax. You may incur penalties under the estimated tax rules if your withholding and estimated tax payments are not sufficient. You can reduce or defer the income tax on a distribution by directly or indirectly rolling such distribution over to another IRA or eligible plan. You should consult your tax advisor for additional information.
State tax will be withheld if, at the time of your distribution, your address is within one of the mandatory withholding states and you have federal income tax withheld (or as otherwise required by state law). State taxes will be withheld from your distribution in accordance with the respective state rules.
*Some 403(b), 457 and qualified retirement plan distributions may be subject to 20% mandatory withholding, as they are subject to special tax and withholding rules. Your plan administrator or plan sponsor is required to provide you with a special tax notice explaining those rules at the time you request a distribution. If applicable, federal and/or state taxes may be withheld from your distribution amount.

Dear Investor:
Thank you for reviewing this annual report for the period ended March 31, 2019. Annual reports help convey important information about fund returns, including market factors that affected performance during the reporting period. For additional, updated investment and market insights, we encourage you to visit our website, americancentury.com.
Markets Ended Roller-Coaster Period on Upswing
For the first half of the period, U.S. stocks climbed higher, while bond returns headed lower. Robust economic growth, bolstered by federal tax and regulatory reform, and record corporate earnings results fueled risk-on sentiment that drove stock prices higher. Meanwhile, the combination of strong economic data, the Federal Reserve’s (Fed’s) ongoing rate-hike campaign and an uptick in inflation pushed investment-grade bond returns lower.
Market trends began changing in late 2018. Mounting investor concerns about slowing global economic and earnings growth, U.S.-China trade tensions and rising interest rates triggered widespread volatility. Stock prices plunged as investors sought safe-haven investments, including U.S. Treasuries. Furthermore, the Fed issued another rate hike in December, its fourth of the year, and maintained its hawkish outlook. Investors feared the December rate increase and the Fed’s plans for two more rate hikes in 2019 were too aggressive, and risk-off investing remained in favor.
January brought a renewed sense of stability to the markets. Investors’ concerns about growth and trade eased, and the Fed changed course, pausing its rate-hike campaign amid moderating global growth and inflation. Valuations appeared attractive after the late-2018 sell-off, and risk-on investing resumed. In March, the Fed held rates steady again, hinting additional tightening was off the table for 2019. This news drove stock and bond returns higher and left both asset classes on an upward track to end the period. Overall, stocks (S&P 500 Index) overcame their late-2018 nosedive to gain 9.50% for the period. Bonds (Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index) bounced back from losses early in the period to return 4.48%.
We expect volatility to remain a formidable factor as investors react to global growth trends, central bank policy and geopolitical developments. We believe this scenario underscores the importance of using professionally managed portfolios in pursuit of investment goals. We appreciate your continued trust and confidence in us.
Sincerely,
Jonathan Thomas
President and Chief Executive Officer
American Century Investments

Performance Summary
Short Duration Strategic Income returned 2.75%* for the 12 months ended March 31, 2019. The investment-grade Bloomberg Barclays U.S. 1-3 Year Government/Credit Bond Index gained 3.03% for the same period. Fund returns reflect operating expenses, while index returns do not.
The fund’s results reflect the positive performance of higher-yielding securities during the 12 months. The reporting period witnessed a marked shift in Federal Reserve (Fed) policy and investor sentiment toward the U.S. and global economic growth outlook, which influenced performance in the fixed-income market. In the first several months of the period, robust economic growth, rising inflation and the Fed’s steady rate-tightening strategy drove Treasury yields higher. Investment-grade bond returns were generally flat to slightly negative. Meanwhile, risk-on investing remained in favor, and higher-yielding securities outperformed. The environment reversed sharply in late 2018, as worries about future economic and corporate earnings growth, U.S.-China trade negotiations and a surprisingly bullish Fed outlook triggered severe volatility in the equity markets. Investors fled risk assets in favor of U.S. Treasuries and other perceived safe-haven investments.
The new year brought a new sense of stability to the financial markets. Progress with U.S.-China trade negotiations and better-than-feared U.S. economic and earnings data helped restore some investor optimism. Additionally, the Fed paused its rate-hike campaign in January, seemingly acknowledging its December plan for two rate hikes in 2019 may have been too aggressive. Investors responded enthusiastically to this backdrop, and risk assets returned to favor. Meanwhile, Treasury yields moved modestly lower. Then, at its March monetary policy meeting, the Fed held rates steady and suggested additional tightening was likely off the table for 2019. While this news triggered a sharp rally among Treasuries, it also extended the rally among higher-risk assets. Overall, the broad U.S. fixed-income market advanced for the entire 12-month period, and higher-yielding securities generally outperformed higher-quality bonds.
The portfolio provided diversified exposure to higher-yielding segments of the fixed-income market, including investment-grade corporate bonds, out-of-index high-yield corporate bonds, mortgage-backed and other securitized bonds, and out-of-index emerging markets debt. Higher-yielding bond sectors generally outperformed higher-quality sectors, which are more prevalent in the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. 1-3 Year Government/Credit Bond Index.
Corporate Bonds Were Top Contributors
We invested a large portion of the portfolio in corporate bonds (approximately 42% as of March 31, 2019), including investment-grade and high-yield securities. The portfolio’s investment-grade corporate bonds were top contributors to performance. We generally favored the higher-yielding, lower-quality end of the investment-grade corporate bond spectrum (credits with BBB ratings), which rallied on favorable corporate and economic fundamentals during the first several months of the reporting period and again in early 2019. Our out-of-index position in high-yield corporate bonds also added value. Favorable fundamentals and investor preferences for risk throughout most of the period helped high-yield bonds outperform their investment-grade counterparts.
* All fund returns referenced in this commentary are for Investor Class shares. Fund returns would have been lower if a portion of the fees had not been waived. Performance for other share classes will vary due to differences in fee structure; when Investor Class performance exceeds that of the index, other share classes may not. See page 3 for returns for all share classes.
Securitized Sector Aided Performance
Our position in securitized bonds (approximately 38% of the portfolio as of March 31, 2019) also contributed to performance. Our positions in non-agency collateralized mortgage obligations, non-agency commercial mortgage-backed securities and collateralized loan obligations added value compared with the conventional agency-backed mortgage-backed securities represented in the index. In addition, our asset-backed securities lifted results.
Emerging Markets Bonds Were Modest Contributors
Our out-of-index position in emerging markets corporate and sovereign securities was a modest contributor to performance. For much of the period, emerging markets bonds struggled due to slowing growth in China, trade policy concerns, country-specific events and Fed tightening. However, attractive valuations within the asset class, combined with falling U.S. Treasury yields, a dovish Fed and the return of risk-on investing, helped emerging markets bounce back in early 2019 and aid portfolio results.
Portfolio Positioning
We expect the U.S. economy to continue to grow, but at a more moderate pace (2.0% to 2.5% annualized). However, we expect U.S. economic growth to remain more robust than growth in Europe and Japan. We expect headline inflation to eventually converge with core inflation near 2%. These factors should enable the Fed to remain on hold throughout the remainder of 2019. Against a backdrop of slowing global growth, geopolitical uncertainties (mainly Brexit) and a dovish Fed, we expect the 10-year Treasury yield to fluctuate within a near-term range of 2.35% to 2.80%.
In light of the first-quarter 2019 rally among credit and other higher-yielding sectors, we took profits in and reduced exposure to high-yield corporate bonds, and we purchased higher-quality bonds within the securitized sector. We also purchased Treasury securities, which gives us the ability to take advantage of attractive investment opportunities as they arise. Given our outlook for continued economic growth, albeit slower, and healthy corporate fundamentals, we believe credit sectors still offer value. We continue to favor corporate and securitized bonds and select emerging markets securities, adding exposure as valuations, fundamentals and market conditions dictate. Overall, we favor a bottom-up approach, emphasizing careful security selection. We believe our focus on higher-yielding securities with low correlation to Treasuries positions the portfolio favorably if rates eventually move higher.

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 I 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 182, the number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year, divided by 365, to reflect the one-half year period. Annualized expense ratio reflects actual expenses, including any applicable fee waivers or expense reimbursements and excluding any acquired fund fees and expenses. |

Notes to Financial Statements |
MARCH 31, 2019
1. Organization
American Century Investment Trust (the trust) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company and is organized as a Massachusetts business trust. Short Duration Strategic Income Fund (the fund) is one fund in a series issued by the trust. The fund’s investment objective is to seek income. As a secondary objective, the fund seeks long-term capital appreciation.
The fund offers the Investor Class, I Class, Y Class, A Class, C Class, R Class, R5 Class and R6 Class. The A Class may incur an initial sales charge. The A Class and C Class may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge. Sale of the I Class and Y Class commenced on April 10, 2017.
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. Corporate bonds, U.S. Treasury and Government Agency securities, convertible bonds, bank loan obligations, municipal securities, and sovereign governments and agencies are valued using market models that consider trade data, quotations from dealers and active market makers, relevant yield curve and spread data, creditworthiness, trade data or market information on comparable securities, and other relevant security specific information. Mortgage-related and asset-backed securities are valued based on models that consider trade data, prepayment and default projections, benchmark yield and spread data and estimated cash flows of each tranche of the issuer. Collateralized loan obligations are valued based on discounted cash flow models that consider trade and economic data, prepayment assumptions and default projections. Fixed income securities initially expressed in local currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the mean of the appropriate currency exchange rate at the close of the NYSE as provided by an independent pricing service.
Equity securities that are listed or traded on a domestic securities exchange are valued at the last reported sales price or at the official closing price as provided by the exchange. Equity securities traded on foreign securities exchanges are generally valued at the closing price of such securities on the exchange where primarily traded or at the close of the NYSE, if that is earlier. If no last sales price is reported, or if local convention or regulation so provides, the mean of the latest bid and asked prices may be used. Securities traded over-the-counter are valued at the mean of the latest bid and asked prices, the last sales price, or the official closing price. Equity securities initially expressed in local currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the mean of the appropriate currency exchange rate at the close of the NYSE as provided by an independent pricing service.
Open-end management investment companies are valued at the reported net asset value per share. Repurchase agreements are valued at cost, which approximates fair value. Exchange-traded futures contracts are valued at the settlement price as provided by the appropriate exchange. Swap agreements are valued at an evaluated mean as provided by independent pricing services or independent brokers. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are valued at the mean of the appropriate forward exchange rate at the close of the NYSE as provided by an independent pricing service. Investments initially expressed in local currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the mean of the appropriate currency exchange rate at the close of the NYSE as provided by an independent pricing service.
If the 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. The fund also monitors for significant fluctuations between domestic and foreign markets, as evidenced by the U.S. market or such other indicators that the Board of Trustees, or its delegate, deems appropriate. If significant fluctuations in foreign markets are identified, the fund may apply a model-derived factor to the closing price of equity securities traded on foreign securities exchanges. The factor is based on observable market data as provided by an independent pricing service.
Security Transactions — Security transactions are accounted for as of the trade date. Net realized gains and losses are determined on the identified cost basis, which is also used for federal income tax purposes.
Investment Income — Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis and includes paydown gain (loss) and accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums. Inflation adjustments related to inflation-linked debt securities are reflected as interest income.
Foreign Currency Translations — All assets and liabilities initially expressed in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at prevailing exchange rates at period end. The fund may enter into spot foreign currency exchange contracts to facilitate transactions denominated in a foreign currency. Purchases and sales of investment securities, dividend and interest income, spot foreign currency exchange contracts, and expenses are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. Net realized and unrealized foreign currency exchange gains or losses related to investment securities are a component of net realized gain (loss) on investment transactions and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments, respectively.
Repurchase Agreements — The fund may enter into repurchase agreements with institutions that American Century Investment Management, Inc. (ACIM) (the investment advisor) has determined are creditworthy pursuant to criteria adopted by the Board of Trustees. The fund requires that the collateral, represented by securities, received in a repurchase transaction be transferred to the custodian in a manner sufficient to enable the fund to obtain those securities in the event of a default under the repurchase agreement. ACIM monitors, on a daily basis, the securities transferred to ensure the value, including accrued interest, of the securities under each repurchase agreement is equal to or greater than amounts owed to the fund under each repurchase agreement.
Joint Trading Account — Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the fund, along with certain other funds in the American Century Investments family of funds, may transfer uninvested cash balances into a joint trading account. These balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Agency obligations.
Segregated Assets — In accordance with the 1940 Act, the fund segregates assets on its books and records to cover certain types of investment securities and other financial instruments. ACIM 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 collateral requirements.
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 difference in the fee among the classes is a result of their separate arrangements for non-Rule 12b-1 shareholder services. It is not the result of any difference in advisory or custodial fees or other expenses related to the management of the fund’s assets, which do not vary by class. From April 1, 2018 through July 31, 2018, the investment advisor agreed to waive 0.09% of the fund's management fee. Effective August 1, 2018, the investment advisor decreased this waiver to 0.04% and decreased the annual management fee by 0.14%. Effective December 1, 2018, the investment advisor agreed to waive 0.09% of the fund's management fee. The investment advisor expects this waiver to continue until November 30, 2019 and cannot terminate it prior to such date without the approval of the Board of Trustees.
The annual management fee and the effective annual management fee before and after waiver for each class for the period ended March 31, 2019 are as follows:
|
| | | |
| | Effective Annual Management Fee |
| Annual Management Fee* | Before Waiver | After Waiver |
Investor Class | 0.60% | 0.65% | 0.57% |
I Class | 0.50% | 0.55% | 0.47% |
Y Class | 0.40% | 0.45% | 0.37% |
A Class | 0.60% | 0.65% | 0.57% |
C Class | 0.60% | 0.65% | 0.57% |
R Class | 0.60% | 0.65% | 0.57% |
R5 Class | 0.40% | 0.45% | 0.37% |
R6 Class | 0.35% | 0.40% | 0.32% |
*Prior to August 1, 2018, the annual management fee was 0.74% for the Investor Class, A Class, C Class and R Class, 0.64% for the I Class, 0.54% for the Y Class and R5 Class and 0.49% for the R6 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, C Class and R Class (collectively the plans), pursuant to Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act. The plans provide that the A Class will pay ACIS an annual distribution and service fee of 0.25%. The plans provide that the C Class will pay ACIS an annual distribution and service fee of 1.00%, of which 0.25% is paid for individual shareholder services and 0.75% is paid for distribution services. The plans provide that the R Class will pay ACIS an annual distribution and service fee of 0.50%. The fees are computed and accrued daily based on each class’s daily net assets and paid monthly in arrears. The fees are used to pay financial intermediaries for distribution and individual shareholder services. Fees incurred under the plans during the period ended March 31, 2019 are detailed in the Statement of Operations.
Trustees’ Fees and Expenses — The Board of Trustees is responsible for overseeing the investment advisor’s management and operations of the fund. The trustees receive detailed information about the fund and its investment advisor regularly throughout the year, and meet at least quarterly with management of the investment advisor to review reports about fund operations. The fund’s officers do not receive compensation from the fund.
Interfund Transactions — The fund may enter into security transactions with other American Century Investments funds and other client accounts of the investment advisor, in accordance with the 1940 Act rules and procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. The rules and procedures require, among other things, that these transactions be effected at the independent current market price of the security. There were no interfund transactions during the period.

6. Fair Value Measurements
The fund’s investments valuation process is based on several considerations and may use multiple inputs to determine the fair value of the investments held by the fund. In conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the inputs used to determine a valuation are classified into three broad levels.
| |
• | Level 1 valuation inputs consist of unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical investments. |
| |
• | Level 2 valuation inputs consist of direct or indirect observable market data (including quoted prices for comparable investments, evaluations of subsequent market events, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.). These inputs also consist of quoted prices for identical investments initially expressed in local currencies that are adjusted through translation into U.S. dollars. |
| |
• | Level 3 valuation inputs consist of unobservable data (including a fund’s own assumptions). |
The level classification is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair valuation measurement. The valuation inputs are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in these securities or other financial instruments.
The following is a summary of the level classifications as of period end. The Schedule of Investments provides additional information on the fund’s portfolio holdings.

7. Derivative Instruments
Credit Risk — The fund is subject to credit risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The value of a bond generally declines as the credit quality of its issuer declines. Credit default swap agreements enable a fund to buy/sell protection against a credit event of a specific issuer or index. A fund may attempt to enhance returns by selling protection or attempt to mitigate credit risk by buying protection. The buyer/seller of credit protection against a security or basket of securities may pay/receive an up-front or periodic payment to compensate for/against potential default events. Changes in value, including the periodic amounts of interest to be paid or received on swap agreements, are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on swap agreements. Upon entering into a centrally cleared swap, a fund is required to deposit cash or securities (initial margin) with a financial intermediary in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the notional amount. Subsequent payments (variation margin) are made or received daily, in cash, by a fund. The variation margin is equal to the daily change in the value and is a component of unrealized gains and losses. Realized gain or loss is recorded upon receipt or payment of a periodic settlement or termination of swap agreements. Net realized and unrealized gains or losses occurring during the holding period of swap agreements are a component of net realized gain (loss) on swap agreement transactions and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on swap agreements, respectively. The risks of entering into swap agreements include the possible lack of liquidity, failure of the counterparty to meet its obligations, and that there may be unfavorable changes in the underlying investments or instruments. The fund's average notional amount held during the period was $1,320,000.
Foreign Currency Risk — The fund is subject to foreign currency exchange rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The value of foreign investments held by a fund may be significantly affected by changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The dollar value of a foreign security generally decreases when the value of the dollar rises against the foreign currency in which the security is denominated and tends to increase when the value of the dollar declines against such foreign currency. A fund may enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts to reduce a fund's exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations or to gain exposure to the fluctuations in the value of foreign currencies. The net U.S. dollar value of foreign currency underlying all contractual commitments held by a fund and the resulting unrealized appreciation or depreciation are determined daily. Realized gain or loss is recorded upon the termination of the contract. Net realized and unrealized gains or losses occurring during the holding period of forward foreign currency exchange contracts are a component of net realized gain (loss) on forward foreign currency exchange contract transactions and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on forward foreign currency exchange contracts, respectively. A fund bears the risk of an unfavorable change in the foreign currency exchange rate underlying the forward contract. Additionally, losses, up to the fair value, may arise if the counterparties do not perform under the contract terms. The fund's average U.S. dollar exposure to foreign currency risk derivative instruments held during the period was $4,677,598.
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 notional exposure to interest rate risk derivative instruments held during the period was $1,500,000 futures contracts purchased and $2,253,802 futures contracts sold.
At period end, the fund did not have any derivative instruments disclosed on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

8. Risk Factors
There are certain risks involved in investing in foreign securities. These risks include those resulting from political events (such as civil unrest, national elections and imposition of exchange controls), social and economic events (such as labor strikes and rising inflation), and natural disasters. Securities of foreign issuers may be less liquid and more volatile. Investing in emerging markets or a significant portion of assets in one country or region may accentuate these risks.
The fund invests in lower-rated debt securities, which are subject to substantial risks including liquidity risk and credit risk.
9. Federal Tax Information
The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018 were as follows:
|
| | | | | | |
| 2019 | 2018 |
Distributions Paid From | | |
Ordinary income | $ | 2,127,926 |
| $ | 820,658 |
|
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 period end, the federal tax cost of investments and the components of distributable earnings on a tax-basis were as follows:
|
| | | |
Federal tax cost of investments | $ | 130,261,495 |
|
Gross tax appreciation of investments | $ | 659,334 |
|
Gross tax depreciation of investments | (294,442 | ) |
Net tax appreciation (depreciation) of investments | $ | 364,892 |
|
Other book-to-tax adjustments | $ | (2,307 | ) |
Undistributed ordinary income | — |
|
Accumulated short-term capital losses | $ | (471,131 | ) |
Accumulated long-term capital losses
| $ | (1,024,350 | ) |
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales.
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.
10. Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-08, “Receivables - Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20), Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities” (ASU 2017-08). ASU 2017-08 amends the amortization period for certain purchased callable debt securities held at a premium, shortening such period to the earliest call date. The amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Management is currently evaluating the impact that adopting ASU 2017-08 will have on the financial statements.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm |
To the Board of Trustees of American Century Investment Trust and Shareholders of Short Duration Strategic Income Fund:
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of Short Duration Strategic Income Fund (one of the funds constituting American Century Investment Trust, referred to hereafter as the “Fund”) as of March 31, 2019, the related statement of operations for the year ended March 31, 2019, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended March 31, 2019, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of March 31, 2019, 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 ended March 31, 2019 and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of March 31, 2019 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits 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 Jonathan S. Thomas, 16; and Ronald J. Gilson, 9) 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 Jonathan S. Thomas is 1665 Charleston Road, Mountain View, California 94043. The mailing address for Jonathan S. Thomas is 4500 Main Street, Kansas City, Missouri 64111.

Retirement Account Information
As required by law, distributions you receive from certain retirement accounts are subject to federal income tax withholding, unless you elect not to have withholding apply*. Tax will be withheld on the total amount withdrawn even though you may be receiving amounts that are not subject to withholding, such as nondeductible contributions. In such case, excess amounts of withholding could occur. You may adjust your withholding election so that a greater or lesser amount will be withheld.
If you don’t want us to withhold on this amount, you must notify us to not withhold the federal income tax. You may notify us in writing or in certain situations by telephone or through other electronic means. For systematic withdrawals, your withholding election will remain in effect until revoked or changed by filing a new election. You have the right to revoke your election at any time and change your withholding percentage for future distributions.
Remember, even if you elect not to have income tax withheld, you are liable for paying income tax on the taxable portion of your withdrawal. If you elect not to have income tax withheld or you don’t have enough income tax withheld, you may be responsible for payment of estimated tax. You may incur penalties under the estimated tax rules if your withholding and estimated tax payments are not sufficient. You can reduce or defer the income tax on a distribution by directly or indirectly rolling such distribution over to another IRA or eligible plan. You should consult your tax advisor for additional information.
State tax will be withheld if, at the time of your distribution, your address is within one of the mandatory withholding states and you have federal income tax withheld (or as otherwise required by state law). State taxes will be withheld from your distribution in accordance with the respective state rules.
*Some 403(b), 457 and qualified retirement plan distributions may be subject to 20% mandatory withholding, as they are subject to special tax and withholding rules. Your plan administrator or plan sponsor is required to provide you with a special tax notice explaining those rules at the time you request a distribution. If applicable, federal and/or state taxes may be withheld from your distribution amount.

Dear Investor:
Thank you for reviewing this annual report for the period ended March 31, 2019. Annual reports help convey important information about fund returns, including market factors that affected performance during the reporting period. For additional, updated investment and market insights, we encourage you to visit our website, americancentury.com.
Markets Ended Roller-Coaster Period on Upswing
For the first half of the period, U.S. stocks climbed higher, while bond returns headed lower. Robust economic growth, bolstered by federal tax and regulatory reform, and record corporate earnings results fueled risk-on sentiment that drove stock prices higher. Meanwhile, the combination of strong economic data, the Federal Reserve’s (Fed’s) ongoing rate-hike campaign and an uptick in inflation pushed investment-grade bond returns lower.
Market trends began changing in late 2018. Mounting investor concerns about slowing global economic and earnings growth, U.S.-China trade tensions and rising interest rates triggered widespread volatility. Stock prices plunged as investors sought safe-haven investments, including U.S. Treasuries. Furthermore, the Fed issued another rate hike in December, its fourth of the year, and maintained its hawkish outlook. Investors feared the December rate increase and the Fed’s plans for two more rate hikes in 2019 were too aggressive, and risk-off investing remained in favor.
January brought a renewed sense of stability to the markets. Investors’ concerns about growth and trade eased, and the Fed changed course, pausing its rate-hike campaign amid moderating global growth and inflation. Valuations appeared attractive after the late-2018 sell-off, and risk-on investing resumed. In March, the Fed held rates steady again, hinting additional tightening was off the table for 2019. This news drove stock and bond returns higher and left both asset classes on an upward track to end the period. Overall, stocks (S&P 500 Index) overcame their late-2018 nosedive to gain 9.50% for the period. Bonds (Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index) bounced back from losses early in the period to return 4.48%.
We expect volatility to remain a formidable factor as investors react to global growth trends, central bank policy and geopolitical developments. We believe this scenario underscores the importance of using professionally managed portfolios in pursuit of investment goals. We appreciate your continued trust and confidence in us.
Sincerely,
Jonathan Thomas
President and Chief Executive Officer
American Century Investments

Performance Summary
Strategic Income returned 3.88%* for the 12 months ended March 31, 2019. By comparison, the investment-grade Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index gained 4.48% for the same period. Fund returns reflect operating expenses, while index returns do not.
The fund’s results reflect the positive performance of higher-yielding securities for the 12 months ended March 31, 2019. The reporting period witnessed a marked shift in Federal Reserve (Fed) policy and investor sentiment toward the U.S. and global economic growth outlook, which influenced performance in the fixed-income market. In the first several months of the period, robust economic growth, rising inflation and the Fed’s steady rate-tightening strategy drove Treasury yields higher. Investment-grade bond returns were generally flat to slightly negative. Meanwhile, risk-on investing remained in favor, and higher-yielding securities outperformed. The environment reversed sharply in late 2018, as worries about future economic and corporate earnings growth, U.S.-China trade negotiations and a surprisingly bullish Fed outlook triggered severe volatility in the equity markets. Investors fled risk assets in favor of U.S. Treasuries and other perceived safe-haven investments.
The new year brought a new sense of stability to the financial markets. Progress with U.S.-China trade negotiations and better-than-feared U.S. economic and earnings data helped restore some investor optimism. Additionally, the Fed paused its rate-hike campaign in January, seemingly acknowledging its December plan for two rate hikes in 2019 may have been too aggressive. Investors responded enthusiastically to this backdrop, and risk assets returned to favor. Meanwhile, Treasury yields moved modestly lower. Then, at its March monetary policy meeting, the Fed held rates steady and suggested additional tightening was likely off the table for 2019. While this news triggered strong gains for Treasuries, it also extended the rally among higher-risk assets. Overall, the broad U.S. fixed-income market advanced for the entire 12-month period, and higher-yielding securities generally outperformed higher-quality bonds.
The portfolio provided diversified exposure to higher-yielding segments of the fixed-income market, including investment-grade corporate bonds, out-of-index high-yield corporate bonds, mortgage-backed and other securitized bonds, and out-of-index emerging markets debt. Higher-yielding bond sectors generally outperformed higher-quality sectors, which are more prevalent in the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index.
Corporate Bonds Were Top Contributors
Our position in corporate bonds, which comprised approximately 37% of the portfolio on March 31, 2019, was the main contributor to performance. In particular, our out-of-index allocation to high-yield corporate bonds was a key driver of results. Favorable fundamentals and investor preferences for risk throughout most of the period helped high-yield bonds outperform their investment-grade counterparts. Within the portfolio’s investment-grade corporate allocation, we focused on the higher-yielding, lower-quality end of the investment-grade corporate bond spectrum (credits with BBB ratings), which rallied on favorable corporate and economic fundamentals during the first several months of the reporting period and again in early 2019.
* All fund returns referenced in this commentary are for Investor Class shares. Fund returns would have been lower if a portion of the fees had not been waived. Performance for other share classes will vary due to differences in fee structure; when Investor Class performance exceeds that of the index, other share classes may not. See page 3 for returns for all share classes.
Securitized Sector Aided Performance
Our allocation to securitized bonds (approximately 32% of the portfolio as of March 31, 2019) also contributed to performance. Our positions in non-agency collateralized mortgage obligations, non-agency commercial mortgage-backed securities and collateralized loan obligations added value compared with the conventional agency-backed mortgage-backed securities represented in the index. In addition, our asset-backed securities lifted results.
Emerging Markets Bonds Contributed
Our out-of-index position in U.S. dollar-denominated emerging markets corporate and sovereign securities also added value. For much of the period, emerging markets bonds struggled due to slowing growth in China, trade policy concerns, country-specific events and Fed tightening. However, attractive valuations within the asset class, combined with falling U.S. Treasury yields, a dovish Fed and the return of risk-on investing, helped emerging markets bounce back in early 2019 and aid portfolio results.
Equity Holdings Detracted
The portfolio held a small out-of-index position in preferred stock, which we owned for its dividend-paying feature. This position detracted from results in the late-2018 equity market sell-off. We exited this position during the early 2019 equity market rally.
Portfolio Positioning
We expect the U.S. economy to continue to grow, but at a more moderate pace (2.0% to 2.5% annualized). However, we expect U.S. economic growth to remain more robust than growth in Europe and Japan. We expect headline inflation to eventually converge with core inflation near 2%. These factors should enable the Fed to remain on hold throughout the remainder of 2019. Against a backdrop of slowing global growth, geopolitical uncertainties (mainly Brexit) and a dovish Fed, we expect the 10-year Treasury yield to fluctuate within a near-term range of 2.35% to 2.80%. We expect the yield curve to remain relatively flat, and we do not believe the brief inversion of the curve earlier this year indicates an impending recession.
In light of the first-quarter 2019 rally among credit and other higher-yielding sectors, we took profits in and reduced exposure to high-yield corporate bonds, and we purchased higher-quality bonds within the securitized sector. We also purchased Treasury securities, which gives us the ability to take advantage of attractive investment opportunities as they arise. Given our outlook for continued economic growth, albeit slower, and healthy corporate fundamentals, we believe credit sectors still offer value. We continue to favor corporate and securitized bonds and select emerging markets securities, adding exposure as valuations, fundamentals and market conditions dictate. Overall, we favor a bottom-up approach, emphasizing careful security selection. We believe our focus on higher-yielding securities with low correlation to Treasuries positions the portfolio favorably if rates eventually move higher.

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 October 1, 2018 to March 31, 2019.
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 I 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 |
MARCH 31, 2019
1. Organization
American Century Investment Trust (the trust) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company and is organized as a Massachusetts business trust. Strategic Income Fund (the fund) is one fund in a series issued by the trust. The fund’s investment objective is to seek income. As a secondary objective, the fund seeks long-term capital appreciation.
The fund offers the Investor Class, I Class, Y Class, A Class, C Class, R Class, R5 Class and R6 Class. The A Class may incur an initial sales charge. The A Class and C Class may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge. Sale of the I Class and Y Class commenced on April 10, 2017.
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. Corporate bonds, U.S. Treasury and Government Agency securities, convertible bonds, bank loan obligations, municipal securities, and sovereign governments and agencies are valued using market models that consider trade data, quotations from dealers and active market makers, relevant yield curve and spread data, creditworthiness, trade data or market information on comparable securities, and other relevant security specific information. Mortgage-related and asset-backed securities are valued based on models that consider trade data, prepayment and default projections, benchmark yield and spread data and estimated cash flows of each tranche of the issuer. Collateralized loan obligations are valued based on discounted cash flow models that consider trade and economic data, prepayment assumptions and default projections. Fixed income securities initially expressed in local currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the mean of the appropriate currency exchange rate at the close of the NYSE as provided by an independent pricing service.
Equity securities that are listed or traded on a domestic securities exchange are valued at the last reported sales price or at the official closing price as provided by the exchange. Equity securities traded on foreign securities exchanges are generally valued at the closing price of such securities on the exchange where primarily traded or at the close of the NYSE, if that is earlier. If no last sales price is reported, or if local convention or regulation so provides, the mean of the latest bid and asked prices may be used. Securities traded over-the-counter are valued at the mean of the latest bid and asked prices, the last sales price, or the official closing price. Equity securities initially expressed in local currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the mean of the appropriate currency exchange rate at the close of the NYSE as provided by an independent pricing service.
Open-end management investment companies are valued at the reported net asset value per share. Repurchase agreements are valued at cost, which approximates fair value. Exchange-traded futures contracts are valued at the settlement price as provided by the appropriate exchange. Swap agreements are valued at an evaluated mean as provided by independent pricing services or independent brokers. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are valued at the mean of the appropriate forward exchange rate at the close of the NYSE as provided by an independent pricing service. Investments initially expressed in local currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the mean of the appropriate currency exchange rate at the close of the NYSE as provided by an independent pricing service.
If the 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. The fund also monitors for significant fluctuations between domestic and foreign markets, as evidenced by the U.S. market or such other indicators that the Board of Trustees, or its delegate, deems appropriate. If significant fluctuations in foreign markets are identified, the fund may apply a model-derived factor to the closing price of equity securities traded on foreign securities exchanges. The factor is based on observable market data as provided by an independent pricing service.
Security Transactions — Security transactions are accounted for as of the trade date. Net realized gains and losses are determined on the identified cost basis, which is also used for federal income tax purposes.
Investment Income — Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis and includes paydown gain (loss) and accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums. Inflation adjustments related to inflation-linked debt securities are reflected as interest income. Dividend income less foreign taxes withheld, if any, is recorded as of the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions, if any, from the affiliated funds are recorded as of the ex-dividend date. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or long-term capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. The fund may estimate the components of distributions received that may be considered nontaxable distributions or long-term capital gain distributions for income tax purposes.
Foreign Currency Translations — All assets and liabilities initially expressed in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at prevailing exchange rates at period end. The fund may enter into spot foreign currency exchange contracts to facilitate transactions denominated in a foreign currency. Purchases and sales of investment securities, dividend and interest income, spot foreign currency exchange contracts, and expenses are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. Net realized and unrealized foreign currency exchange gains or losses related to investment securities are a component of net realized gain (loss) on investment transactions and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments, respectively.
Repurchase Agreements — The fund may enter into repurchase agreements with institutions that American Century Investment Management, Inc. (ACIM) (the investment advisor) has determined are creditworthy pursuant to criteria adopted by the Board of Trustees. The fund requires that the collateral, represented by securities, received in a repurchase transaction be transferred to the custodian in a manner sufficient to enable the fund to obtain those securities in the event of a default under the repurchase agreement. ACIM monitors, on a daily basis, the securities transferred to ensure the value, including accrued interest, of the securities under each repurchase agreement is equal to or greater than amounts owed to the fund under each repurchase agreement.
Joint Trading Account — Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the fund, along with certain other funds in the American Century Investments family of funds, may transfer uninvested cash balances into a joint trading account. These balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Agency obligations.
Segregated Assets — In accordance with the 1940 Act, the fund segregates assets on its books and records to cover certain types of investment securities and other financial instruments. ACIM 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 collateral requirements.
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 difference in the fee among the classes is a result of their separate arrangements for non-Rule 12b-1 shareholder services. It is not the result of any difference in advisory or custodial fees or other expenses related to the management of the fund’s assets, which do not vary by class. The investment advisor will waive the portion of the fund’s management fee equal to the expenses attributable to the management fees of the American Century Investments funds in which the fund invests. The amount of this waiver will fluctuate depending on the fund’s daily allocation to other American Century Investments funds. This waiver is expected to remain in effect permanently and it cannot be terminated without the approval of the Board of Trustees.
The annual management fee and the effective annual management fee after waiver for each class for the period ended March 31, 2019 are as follows:
|
| | |
| Annual Management Fee | Effective Annual Management Fee After Waiver |
Investor Class | 0.74% | 0.68% |
I Class | 0.64% | 0.58% |
Y Class | 0.54% | 0.48% |
A Class | 0.74% | 0.68% |
C Class | 0.74% | 0.68% |
R Class | 0.74% | 0.68% |
R5 Class | 0.54% | 0.48% |
R6 Class | 0.49% | 0.43% |
Distribution and Service Fees — The Board of Trustees has adopted a separate Master Distribution and Individual Shareholder Services Plan for each of the A Class, C Class and R Class (collectively the plans), pursuant to Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act. The plans provide that the A Class will pay ACIS an annual distribution and service fee of 0.25%. The plans provide that the C Class will pay ACIS an annual distribution and service fee of 1.00%, of which 0.25% is paid for individual shareholder services and 0.75% is paid for distribution services. The plans provide that the R Class will pay ACIS an annual distribution and service fee of 0.50%. The fees are computed and accrued daily based on each class’s daily net assets and paid monthly in arrears. The fees are used to pay financial intermediaries for distribution and individual shareholder services. Fees incurred under the plans during the period ended March 31, 2019 are detailed in the Statement of Operations.
Trustees’ Fees and Expenses — The Board of Trustees is responsible for overseeing the investment advisor’s management and operations of the fund. The trustees receive detailed information about the fund and its investment advisor regularly throughout the year, and meet at least quarterly with management of the investment advisor to review reports about fund operations. The fund’s officers do not receive compensation from the fund.
Interfund Transactions — The fund may enter into security transactions with other American Century Investments funds and other client accounts of the investment advisor, in accordance with the 1940 Act rules and procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. The rules and procedures require, among other things, that these transactions be effected at the independent current market price of the security. There were no interfund transactions during the period.
4. Investment Transactions
Purchases of investment securities, excluding short-term investments, for the period ended March 31, 2019 totaled $10,783,174, of which $2,359,094 represented U.S. Treasury and Government Agency obligations.
Sales of investment securities, excluding short-term investments, for the period ended March 31, 2019 totaled $9,840,306, of which $20,451 represented U.S. Treasury and Government Agency obligations.

(1) | Investments are funds within the American Century Investments family of funds and are considered affiliated funds. The fund does not invest in an affiliated fund for the purpose of exercising management or control; however, investments by the fund within its investment strategy may represent a significant portion of an affiliated fund's net assets. Additional information and attributes of each affiliated fund are available at americancentury.com. |
| |
(2) | Distributions received includes distributions from net investment income and from capital gains, if any. |
7. Fair Value Measurements
The fund’s investments valuation process is based on several considerations and may use multiple inputs to determine the fair value of the investments held by the fund. In conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the inputs used to determine a valuation are classified into three broad levels.
| |
• | Level 1 valuation inputs consist of unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical investments. |
| |
• | Level 2 valuation inputs consist of direct or indirect observable market data (including quoted prices for comparable investments, evaluations of subsequent market events, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.). These inputs also consist of quoted prices for identical investments initially expressed in local currencies that are adjusted through translation into U.S. dollars. |
| |
• | Level 3 valuation inputs consist of unobservable data (including a fund’s own assumptions). |
The level classification is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair valuation measurement. The valuation inputs are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in these securities or other financial instruments.
The following is a summary of the level classifications as of period end. The Schedule of Investments provides additional information on the fund’s portfolio holdings.

8. Derivative Instruments
Credit Risk — The fund is subject to credit risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The value of a bond generally declines as the credit quality of its issuer declines. Credit default swap agreements enable a fund to buy/sell protection against a credit event of a specific issuer or index. A fund may attempt to enhance returns by selling protection or attempt to mitigate credit risk by buying protection. The buyer/seller of credit protection against a security or basket of securities may pay/receive an up-front or periodic payment to compensate for/against potential default events. Changes in value, including the periodic amounts of interest to be paid or received on swap agreements, are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on swap agreements. Upon entering into a centrally cleared swap, a fund is required to deposit cash or securities (initial margin) with a financial intermediary in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the notional amount. Subsequent payments (variation margin) are made or received daily, in cash, by a fund. The variation margin is equal to the daily change in the value and is a component of unrealized gains and losses. Realized gain or loss is recorded upon receipt or payment of a periodic settlement or termination of swap agreements. Net realized and unrealized gains or losses occurring during the holding period of swap agreements are a component of net realized gain (loss) on swap agreement transactions and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on swap agreements, respectively. The risks of entering into swap agreements include the possible lack of liquidity, failure of the counterparty to meet its obligations, and that there may be unfavorable changes in the underlying investments or instruments. The fund's average notional amount held during the period was $942,450.
Foreign Currency Risk — The fund is subject to foreign currency exchange rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The value of foreign investments held by a fund may be significantly affected by changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The dollar value of a foreign security generally decreases when the value of the dollar rises against the foreign currency in which the security is denominated and tends to increase when the value of the dollar declines against such foreign currency. A fund may enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts to reduce a fund's exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations or to gain exposure to the fluctuations in the value of foreign currencies. The net U.S. dollar value of foreign currency underlying all contractual commitments held by a fund and the resulting unrealized appreciation or depreciation are determined daily. Realized gain or loss is recorded upon the termination of the contract. Net realized and unrealized gains or losses occurring during the holding period of forward foreign currency exchange contracts are a component of net realized gain (loss) on forward foreign currency exchange contract transactions and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on forward foreign currency exchange contracts, respectively. A fund bears the risk of an unfavorable change in the foreign currency exchange rate underlying the forward contract. Additionally, losses, up to the fair value, may arise if the counterparties do not perform under the contract terms. The fund's average U.S. dollar exposure to foreign currency risk derivative instruments held during the period was $3,192,376.
Interest Rate Risk — The fund is subject to interest rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. A fund may enter into futures contracts or interest rate swap agreements in order to manage its exposure to changes in market conditions. The value of bonds generally declines as interest rates rise. The risks of entering into interest rate risk derivative instruments include the possible lack of liquidity, failure of the counterparty to meet its obligations, and that there may be unfavorable changes in the underlying investments or instruments.
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. The fund's average notional exposure to these interest rate risk derivative instruments held during the period was $451,937 futures contracts purchased and $1,214,662 futures contracts sold.
A fund may enter into interest rate swap agreements to gain exposure to declines in interest rates, to protect against increases in interest rates, or to maintain its ability to generate income at prevailing interest rates. A fund will segregate cash, cash equivalents or other appropriate liquid securities on its records in amounts sufficient to meet requirements. Changes in value, including the periodic amounts of interest to be paid or received on swap agreements, are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on swap agreements. Upon entering into a centrally cleared swap, a fund is required to deposit cash or securities (initial margin) with a financial intermediary in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the notional amount. Subsequent payments (variation margin) are made or received daily, in cash, by a fund. The variation margin is equal to the daily change in the value and is a component of unrealized gains and losses. Realized gain or loss is recorded upon receipt or payment of a periodic settlement or termination of swap agreements. Net realized and unrealized gains or losses occurring during the holding period of swap agreements are a component of net realized gain (loss) on swap agreement transactions and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on swap agreements, respectively. The fund's average notional amount on interest rate swap agreements held during the period was $114,720.
Other Contracts — A fund may enter into total return swap agreements in order to attempt to obtain or preserve a particular return or spread at a lower cost than obtaining a return or spread through purchases and/or sales of instruments in other markets or gain exposure to certain markets in the most economical way possible. A fund will segregate cash, cash equivalents or other appropriate liquid securities on its records in amounts sufficient to meet requirements. Changes in value, including the periodic amounts of interest to be paid or received on swap agreements, are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on swap agreements. Upon entering into a centrally cleared swap, a fund is required to deposit cash or securities (initial margin) with a financial intermediary in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the notional amount. Subsequent payments (variation margin) are made or received daily, in cash, by a fund. The variation margin is equal to the daily change in the value and is a component of unrealized gains and losses. Realized gain or loss is recorded upon receipt or payment of a periodic settlement or termination of swap agreements. Net realized and unrealized gains or losses occurring during the holding period of swap agreements are a component of net realized gain (loss) on swap agreement transactions and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on swap agreements, respectively. The risks of entering into swap agreements include the possible lack of liquidity, failure of the counterparty to meet its obligations, and that there may be unfavorable changes in the underlying investments or instruments, including inflationary risk. The fund's average notional amount held during the period was $550,000.

9. Risk Factors
There are certain risks involved in investing in foreign securities. These risks include those resulting from political events (such as civil unrest, national elections and imposition of exchange controls), social and economic events (such as labor strikes and rising inflation), and natural disasters. Securities of foreign issuers may be less liquid and more volatile. Investing in emerging markets or a significant portion of assets in one country or region may accentuate these risks.
The fund invests in lower-rated debt securities, which are subject to substantial risks including liquidity risk and credit risk.
The fund’s investments in secured and unsecured participations in bank loan obligations and assignments of such loans may create substantial risk. The market for bank loans may not be highly liquid and the fund may have difficulty selling them. The fund’s bank loan investments typically will result in the fund having a contractual relationship only with the lender, not with the borrower. In connection with purchasing loan participations, the fund generally will have no right to enforce compliance by borrowers with loan terms nor any set off rights, and the fund may not benefit directly from any posted collateral. As a result, the fund may be subject to the credit risk of both the borrower and the lender selling the participation.
10. Federal Tax Information
The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018 were as follows:
|
| | | | | | |
| 2019 | 2018 |
Distributions Paid From | | |
Ordinary income | $ | 659,836 |
| $ | 475,609 |
|
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 period end, the federal tax cost of investments and the components of distributable earnings on a tax-basis were as follows:
|
| | | |
Federal tax cost of investments | $ | 18,556,067 |
|
Gross tax appreciation of investments | $ | 274,451 |
|
Gross tax depreciation of investments | (122,474 | ) |
Net tax appreciation (depreciation) of investments | 151,977 |
|
Net tax appreciation (depreciation) on derivatives and translation of assets and liabilities in foreign currencies | (156 | ) |
Net tax appreciation (depreciation) | $ | 151,821 |
|
Other book-to-tax adjustments | $ | (1,364 | ) |
Undistributed ordinary income | — |
|
Accumulated short-term capital losses | $ | (103,904 | ) |
Accumulated long-term capital losses
| $ | (172,239 | ) |
Late-year ordinary loss deferral | $ | (85,751 | ) |
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is attributable primarily to the realization for tax purposes of unrealized gains (losses) on certain foreign currency exchange contracts.
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.
Loss deferrals represent certain qualified losses that the fund has elected to treat as having been incurred in the following fiscal year for federal income tax purposes.
11. Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-08, “Receivables - Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20), Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities” (ASU 2017-08). ASU 2017-08 amends the amortization period for certain purchased callable debt securities held at a premium, shortening such period to the earliest call date. The amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Management is currently evaluating the impact that adopting ASU 2017-08 will have on the financial statements.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm |
To the Board of Trustees of American Century Investment Trust and Shareholders of Strategic Income Fund:
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of Strategic Income Fund (one of the funds constituting American Century Investment Trust, referred to hereafter as the “Fund”) as of March 31, 2019, the related statement of operations for the year ended March 31, 2019, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended March 31, 2019, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of March 31, 2019, 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 ended March 31, 2019 and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of March 31, 2019 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits 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 Jonathan S. Thomas, 16; and Ronald J. Gilson, 9) 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 Jonathan S. Thomas is 1665 Charleston Road, Mountain View, California 94043. The mailing address for Jonathan S. Thomas is 4500 Main Street, Kansas City, Missouri 64111.

Retirement Account Information
As required by law, distributions you receive from certain retirement accounts are subject to federal income tax withholding, unless you elect not to have withholding apply*. Tax will be withheld on the total amount withdrawn even though you may be receiving amounts that are not subject to withholding, such as nondeductible contributions. In such case, excess amounts of withholding could occur. You may adjust your withholding election so that a greater or lesser amount will be withheld.
If you don’t want us to withhold on this amount, you must notify us to not withhold the federal income tax. You may notify us in writing or in certain situations by telephone or through other electronic means. For systematic withdrawals, your withholding election will remain in effect until revoked or changed by filing a new election. You have the right to revoke your election at any time and change your withholding percentage for future distributions.
Remember, even if you elect not to have income tax withheld, you are liable for paying income tax on the taxable portion of your withdrawal. If you elect not to have income tax withheld or you don’t have enough income tax withheld, you may be responsible for payment of estimated tax. You may incur penalties under the estimated tax rules if your withholding and estimated tax payments are not sufficient. You can reduce or defer the income tax on a distribution by directly or indirectly rolling such distribution over to another IRA or eligible plan. You should consult your tax advisor for additional information.
State tax will be withheld if, at the time of your distribution, your address is within one of the mandatory withholding states and you have federal income tax withheld (or as otherwise required by state law). State taxes will be withheld from your distribution in accordance with the respective state rules.
*Some 403(b), 457 and qualified retirement plan distributions may be subject to 20% mandatory withholding, as they are subject to special tax and withholding rules. Your plan administrator or plan sponsor is required to provide you with a special tax notice explaining those rules at the time you request a distribution. If applicable, federal and/or state taxes may be withheld from your distribution amount.

Dear Investor:
Thank you for reviewing this annual report for the period ended March 31, 2019. Annual reports help convey important information about fund returns, including market factors that affected performance during the reporting period. For additional, updated investment and market insights, we encourage you to visit our website, americancentury.com.
Markets Ended Roller-Coaster Period on Upswing
For the first half of the period, U.S. stocks climbed higher, while bond returns headed lower. Robust economic growth, bolstered by federal tax and regulatory reform, and record corporate earnings results fueled risk-on sentiment that drove stock prices higher. Meanwhile, the combination of strong economic data, the Federal Reserve’s (Fed’s) ongoing rate-hike campaign and an uptick in inflation pushed investment-grade bond returns lower.
Market trends began changing in late 2018. Mounting investor concerns about slowing global economic and earnings growth, U.S.-China trade tensions and rising interest rates triggered widespread volatility. Stock prices plunged as investors sought safe-haven investments, including U.S. Treasuries. Furthermore, the Fed issued another rate hike in December, its fourth of the year, and maintained its hawkish outlook. Investors feared the December rate increase and the Fed’s plans for two more rate hikes in 2019 were too aggressive, and risk-off investing remained in favor.
January brought a renewed sense of stability to the markets. Investors’ concerns about growth and trade eased, and the Fed changed course, pausing its rate-hike campaign amid moderating global growth and inflation. Valuations appeared attractive after the late-2018 sell-off, and risk-on investing resumed. In March, the Fed held rates steady again, hinting additional tightening was off the table for 2019. This news drove stock and bond returns higher and left both asset classes on an upward track to end the period. Overall, stocks (S&P 500 Index) overcame their late-2018 nosedive to gain 9.50% for the period. Bonds (Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index) bounced back from losses early in the period to return 4.48%.
We expect volatility to remain a formidable factor as investors react to global growth trends, central bank policy and geopolitical developments. We believe this scenario underscores the importance of using professionally managed portfolios in pursuit of investment goals. We appreciate your continued trust and confidence in us.
Sincerely,
Jonathan Thomas
President and Chief Executive Officer
American Century Investments

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.
You could lose money by investing in the fund. Although the fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it cannot guarantee it will do so. An investment in the fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. The fund’s sponsor has no legal obligation to provide financial support to the fund, and you should not expect that the sponsor will provide financial support to the fund at any time.
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 October 1, 2018 to March 31, 2019.
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 I 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.

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

Notes to Financial Statements |
MARCH 31, 2019
1. Organization
American Century Investment Trust (the trust) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company and is organized as a Massachusetts business trust. U.S. Government Money Market Fund (the fund) is one fund in a series issued by the trust. The fund’s investment objective is to seek current income while maintaining liquidity and preserving capital.
The fund offers the Investor Class, A Class, C Class and G Class. The A Class and C Class may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge. Sale of the G Class commenced on July 28, 2017.
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. Investments are generally valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. If the fund determines that the amortized cost does 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.
Treasury Roll Transactions — The fund purchases a security and at the same time makes a commitment to sell the same security at a future settlement date at a specified price. These types of transactions are known as treasury roll transactions. The difference between the purchase price and the sale price represents interest income reflective of an agreed upon rate between the fund and the counterparty.
Income Tax Status — It is the fund’s policy to distribute substantially all net investment income and net realized gains to shareholders and to otherwise qualify as a regulated investment company under provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, no provision has been made for income taxes. The fund files U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S. tax returns as applicable. The fund's tax returns are subject to examination by the relevant taxing authority until expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, which is generally three years from the date of filing but can be longer in certain jurisdictions. At this time, management believes there are no uncertain tax positions which, based on their technical merit, would not be sustained upon examination and for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.
Multiple Class — All shares of the fund represent an equal pro rata interest in the net assets of the class to which such shares belong, and have identical voting, dividend, liquidation and other rights and the same terms and conditions, except for class specific expenses and exclusive rights to vote on matters affecting only individual classes. Income, non-class specific expenses, and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses of the fund are allocated to each class of shares based on their relative net assets.
Distributions to Shareholders — Distributions from net investment income, if any, are declared daily and paid monthly. The fund may make capital gains distributions to comply with the distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue Code.
Indemnifications — Under the trust’s organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the fund. In addition, in the normal course of business, the fund enters into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against a fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered by management to be remote.
3. Fees and Transactions with Related Parties
Certain officers and trustees of the trust are also officers and/or directors of American Century Companies, Inc. (ACC). The trust's investment advisor, American Century Investment Management, Inc. (ACIM), the trust's distributor, American Century Investment Services, Inc. (ACIS), and the trust's transfer agent, American Century Services, LLC, are wholly owned, directly or indirectly, by ACC. Various funds issued by American Century Asset Allocation Portfolios, Inc. own, in aggregate, 59% of the shares of the fund. ACIM owns 14% of the shares of the fund. Related parties do not invest in the fund for the purpose of exercising management or control.
Management Fees — The trust has entered into a management agreement with ACIM, under which ACIM provides the fund with investment advisory and management services in exchange for a single, unified management fee (the fee) per class. The agreement provides that 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 investment advisor agreed to waive the G Class’s management fee in its entirety. The investment advisor expects this waiver to remain in effect permanently and cannot terminate it without the approval of the Board of Trustees.
The Investment Category Fee range, the Complex Fee range and the effective annual management fee for each class for the period ended March 31, 2019 are as follows:
|
| | | |
| Investment Category Fee Range | Complex Fee Range | Effective Annual Management Fee |
Investor Class | 0.1170% to 0.2300% | 0.2500% to 0.3100% | 0.45% |
A Class | 0.45% |
C Class | 0.45% |
G Class | 0.00%(1) |
(1) Effective annual management fee before waiver was 0.45%.
Distribution and Service Fees — The Board of Trustees has adopted a separate Master Distribution and Individual Shareholder Services Plan for each of the A Class and C Class (collectively the plans), pursuant to Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act. The plans provide that the A Class will pay ACIS an annual distribution and service fee of 0.25%. The plans provide that the C Class will pay ACIS an annual distribution and service fee of 0.75%, of which 0.25% is paid for individual shareholder services and 0.50% is paid for distribution services. The fees are computed and accrued daily based on each class’s daily net assets and paid monthly in arrears. The fees are used to pay financial intermediaries for distribution and individual shareholder services. Fees incurred under the plans during the period ended March 31, 2019 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.

5. Fair Value Measurements
The fund’s investments valuation process is based on several considerations and may use multiple inputs to determine the fair value of the investments held by the fund. In conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the inputs used to determine a valuation are classified into three broad levels.
| |
• | Level 1 valuation inputs consist of unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical investments. |

• | Level 2 valuation inputs consist of direct or indirect observable market data (including quoted prices for comparable investments, evaluations of subsequent market events, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.). These inputs also consist of quoted prices for identical investments initially expressed in local currencies that are adjusted through translation into U.S. dollars. |
| |
• | Level 3 valuation inputs consist of unobservable data (including a fund’s own assumptions). |
The level classification is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair valuation measurement. The valuation inputs are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in these securities or other financial instruments.
As of period end, the fund’s investment securities were classified as Level 2. The Schedule of Investments provides additional information on the fund’s portfolio holdings.
6. Federal Tax Information
The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018 were as follows:
|
| | | | | | |
| 2019 | 2018 |
Distributions Paid From | | |
Ordinary income | $ | 35,341,625 |
| $ | 15,865,070 |
|
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 March 31, 2019, the fund had accumulated short-term capital losses of $(61,108), which represent net capital loss carryovers that may be used to offset future realized capital gains for federal income tax purposes. The capital loss carryovers may be carried forward for an unlimited period. Future capital loss carryover utilization in any given year may be subject to Internal Revenue Code limitations.
7. Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-08, “Receivables - Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20), Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities” (ASU 2017-08). ASU 2017-08 amends the amortization period for certain purchased callable debt securities held at a premium, shortening such period to the earliest call date. The amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Management is currently evaluating the impact that adopting ASU 2017-08 will have on the financial statements.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm |
To the Board of Trustees of American Century Investment Trust and Shareholders of U.S. Government Money Market Fund:
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of U.S. Government Money Market Fund (one of the funds constituting American Century Investment Trust, referred to hereafter as the “Fund”) as of March 31, 2019, the related statement of operations for the year ended March 31, 2019, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended March 31, 2019, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of March 31, 2019, 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 ended March 31, 2019 and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of March 31, 2019 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have served as the auditor of one or more investment companies in American Century Investments since 1997.
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 Jonathan S. Thomas, 16; and Ronald J. Gilson, 9) 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 Jonathan S. Thomas is 1665 Charleston Road, Mountain View, California 94043. The mailing address for Jonathan S. Thomas is 4500 Main Street, Kansas City, Missouri 64111.

Retirement Account Information
As required by law, distributions you receive from certain retirement accounts are subject to federal income tax withholding, unless you elect not to have withholding apply*. Tax will be withheld on the total amount withdrawn even though you may be receiving amounts that are not subject to withholding, such as nondeductible contributions. In such case, excess amounts of withholding could occur. You may adjust your withholding election so that a greater or lesser amount will be withheld.
If you don’t want us to withhold on this amount, you must notify us to not withhold the federal income tax. You may notify us in writing or in certain situations by telephone or through other electronic means. For systematic withdrawals, your withholding election will remain in effect until revoked or changed by filing a new election. You have the right to revoke your election at any time and change your withholding percentage for future distributions.
Remember, even if you elect not to have income tax withheld, you are liable for paying income tax on the taxable portion of your withdrawal. If you elect not to have income tax withheld or you don’t have enough income tax withheld, you may be responsible for payment of estimated tax. You may incur penalties under the estimated tax rules if your withholding and estimated tax payments are not sufficient. You can reduce or defer the income tax on a distribution by directly or indirectly rolling such distribution over to another IRA or eligible plan. You should consult your tax advisor for additional information.
State tax will be withheld if, at the time of your distribution, your address is within one of the mandatory withholding states and you have federal income tax withheld (or as otherwise required by state law). State taxes will be withheld from your distribution in accordance with the respective state rules.
*Some 403(b), 457 and qualified retirement plan distributions may be subject to 20% mandatory withholding, as they are subject to special tax and withholding rules. Your plan administrator or plan sponsor is required to provide you with a special tax notice explaining those rules at the time you request a distribution. If applicable, federal and/or state taxes may be withheld from your distribution amount.

FY 2018: $132,303
FY 2019: $131,797
