Dear Investor:
Thank you for reviewing this semiannual report for the six months ended September 30, 2013. It provides a macroeconomic and financial market overview (below), followed by fund performance, a schedule of fund investments, and other financial information.
For additional commentary and updated information on fund performance, key factors that affected asset returns, and other insights regarding the investment markets, we encourage you to visit our website, americancentury.com.
Bond Yields and Stock Indices Soared Together Until September
U.S. government bond yields and stock indices traced roughly parallel upward paths during most of the six months ended September 30, 2013. The 10-year U.S. Treasury yield began the period at 1.85%, compressed in large part by the scale of the Federal Reserve’s (the Fed’s) bond-buying program ($85 billion of quantitative easing, or QE, each month).
Hints from the Fed that it might taper QE by year end sent bond yields soaring from early May to early September. The 10-year Treasury yield reached 3.00% on September 5, its first time at that level since July 2011, before finishing the reporting period at 2.61%. Bond yields generally declined in September on weaker-than-expected economic data, the Fed’s announcement that it would delay tapering, and uncertainty caused by the impending partial shutdown of the U.S. government.
Even with the September rally, bonds significantly underperformed stocks for the full reporting period. The 10-year Treasury note and the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (representing the broad taxable U.S. bond market) returned –5.20% and –1.77%, respectively. By contrast, the S&P 500 Index gained 8.31% as the U.S. economy showed signs of attaining sustainable growth, fueled in part by Fed stimulus. Improvements in the housing and job markets helped trigger optimism, though their absolute numbers still fell short of pre-2008 levels.
Full recovery from 2008 remains a distant goal. Economic growth is still subpar compared with past recoveries, hampered further by the fiscal sequester and partial government shutdown. Faced with these challenges, we continue to believe in a disciplined, diversified, long-term investment approach, using professionally managed stock and bond portfolios—as appropriate—for meeting financial goals. We appreciate your continued trust in us in this uncertain environment.
Sincerely,
Jonathan Thomas
President and Chief Executive Officer
American Century Investments

Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses |
Investor Class | Institutional Class | A Class | C Class | R Class |
0.65% | 0.45% | 0.90% | 1.65% | 1.15% |
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. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate, and redemption value may be more or less than original cost. To obtain performance data current to the most recent month end, please call 1-800-345-2021 or visit americancentury.com. As interest rates rise, bond values will decline. 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. International investing involves special risks, such as political instability and currency fluctuations. Investing in emerging markets may accentuate these risks.
Unless otherwise indicated, performance reflects Investor Class shares; performance for other share classes will vary due to differences in fee structure. For information about other share classes available, please consult the prospectus. 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. Returns for the index are provided for comparison. The fund’s total returns include operating expenses (such as transaction costs and management fees) that reduce returns, while the total returns of the index do not.

*Amount relates primarily to receivable for investments sold and payable for investments purchased, but not settled, at period end.
Fund shareholders may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and redemption/exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service (12b-1) fees; and other fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in your fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing cost of investing in other mutual funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from April 1, 2013 to September 30, 2013.
Actual Expenses
The table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses for each class. You may use the information, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. First, identify the share class you own. Then simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
If you hold Investor Class shares of any American Century Investments fund, or Institutional Class shares of the American Century Diversified Bond Fund, in an American Century Investments account (i.e., not a financial intermediary or retirement plan account), American Century Investments may charge you a $12.50 semiannual account maintenance fee if the value of those shares is less than $10,000. We will redeem shares automatically in one of your accounts to pay the $12.50 fee. In determining your total eligible investment amount, we will include your investments in all personal accounts (including American Century Investments Brokerage accounts) registered under your Social Security number. Personal accounts include individual accounts, joint accounts, UGMA/UTMA accounts, personal trusts, Coverdell Education Savings Accounts and IRAs (including traditional, Roth, Rollover, SEP-, SARSEP- and SIMPLE-IRAs), and certain other retirement accounts. If you have only business, business retirement, employer-sponsored or American Century Investments Brokerage accounts, you are currently not subject to this fee. If you are subject to the Account Maintenance Fee, your account value could be reduced by the fee amount.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The table also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual expense ratio of each class of your fund and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the actual return of a fund’s share class. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption/exchange fees. Therefore, the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

(1) | Expenses are equal to the class’s annualized expense ratio listed in the table above, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 183, the number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year, divided by 365, to reflect the one-half year period. |

* 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 referenced obligations and upfront payments received upon entering into the agreement.
The quoted market prices and resulting market value for credit default swap agreements on credit indices 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 market 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.

SEPTEMBER 30, 2013 (UNAUDITED)
1. Organization
American Century Investment Trust (the trust) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company and is organized as a Massachusetts business trust. Core Plus Fund (the fund) is one fund in a series issued by the trust. The fund is diversified as defined under the 1940 Act. 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, the Institutional Class, the A Class, the C Class and the R Class. The A Class may incur an initial sales charge. The A Class and C Class may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge. The share classes differ principally in their respective sales charges and distribution and shareholder servicing expenses and arrangements. The Institutional Class is made available to institutional shareholders or through financial intermediaries whose clients do not require the same level of shareholder and administrative services as shareholders of other classes. As a result, the Institutional Class is charged a lower unified management fee.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the fund in preparation of its financial statements. The financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which may require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Investment Valuations — The fund determines the fair value of its investments and computes its net asset value per share as of 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.
Debt securities maturing in greater than 60 days at the time of purchase 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. Debt securities maturing within 60 days at the time of purchase may be valued at cost, plus or minus any amortized discount or premium or at the evaluated mean as provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated mean prices are commonly derived through utilization of market models, which may consider, among other factors, trade data, quotations from dealers and active market makers, relevant yield curve and spread data, related sector levels, creditworthiness, and other relevant market information on the same or comparable securities.
Investments in open-end management investment companies are valued at the reported net asset value per share. Repurchase agreements are valued at cost. Exchange-traded futures contracts are valued at the settlement price as provided by the appropriate clearing corporation. Swap agreements are valued at an evaluated price as provided by independent pricing services or investment dealers. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are valued at the mean of the latest bid and asked prices of the forward currency rates as provided by an independent pricing service.
The value of investments initially expressed in foreign currencies is translated into U.S. dollars at prevailing exchange rates.
If the fund determines that the market price for a portfolio security is not readily available or the valuation methods mentioned above do not reflect a security’s fair value, such security is valued as determined in good faith by the Board of Trustees or its designee, in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. Circumstances that may cause the fund to use these procedures to value a security include, but are not limited to: a security has been declared in default; trading in a security has been halted during the trading day; there is a foreign market holiday and no trading occurred; or an event occurred between the close of a foreign exchange and the NYSE that may affect the value of a security.
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 investments, including, but not limited to, futures contracts, forward commitments, when-issued securities, swap agreements and certain forward foreign currency exchange contracts. 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 margin requirements on futures contracts and swap agreements.
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 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
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 0.3425% to 0.4600%. The rates for the Complex Fee range from 0.2500% to 0.3100% for the Investor Class, A Class, C Class and R Class. The Institutional Class is 0.2000% less at each point within the Complex Fee range. The effective annual management fee for each class for the six months ended September 30, 2013 was 0.65% for the Investor Class, A Class, C Class and R Class and 0.45% for the Institutional Class.
Distribution and Service Fees — The Board of Trustees has adopted a separate Master Distribution and Individual Shareholder Services Plan for each of the A Class, 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 American Century Investment Services, Inc. (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.

6. Fair Value Measurements
The fund’s securities valuation process is based on several considerations and may use multiple inputs to determine the fair value of the positions 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 as follows:
• | Level 1 valuation inputs consist of unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical securities; |
• | Level 2 valuation inputs consist of direct or indirect observable market data (including quoted prices for similar securities, evaluations of subsequent market events, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.); or |
• | 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. 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. 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 credit risk derivative instruments held at period end as disclosed on the Schedule of Investments are indicative of the fund’s typical volume during the period.
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 foreign currency transactions and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on translation of assets and liabilities in foreign currencies, 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 foreign currency risk derivative instruments held at period end as disclosed on the Schedule of Investments are indicative of the fund’s typical volume during the period.
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 purchased and sold interest rate risk derivative instruments throughout the reporting period and the instruments held at period end as disclosed on the Schedule of Investments are indicative of the fund’s typical volume.

8. Risk Factors
There are certain risks involved in investing in foreign securities. These risks include those resulting from future adverse political, social and economic developments, fluctuations in currency exchange rates, the possible imposition of exchange controls, and other foreign laws or restrictions. Investing in emerging markets may accentuate these risks.
The fund’s investment process may result in high portfolio turnover, which could mean high transaction costs, affecting both performance and capital gains tax liabilities to investors.
9. Federal Tax Information
The book-basis character of distributions made during the year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. These differences reflect the differing character of certain income items and net realized gains and losses for financial statement and tax purposes, and may result in reclassification among certain capital accounts on the financial statements.
As of September 30, 2013, the components of investments for federal income tax purposes were as follows:
Federal tax cost of investments | | $231,164,422 | |
Gross tax appreciation of investments | | $4,045,012 | |
Gross tax depreciation of investments | | (3,304,754 | ) |
Net tax appreciation (depreciation) of investments | | $740,258 | |
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales.

Approval of Management Agreement |
At a meeting held on June 11, 2013, the Fund’s Board of Directors/Trustees unanimously approved the renewal of the management agreement pursuant to which American Century Investment Management, Inc. (the “Advisor”) acts as the investment advisor for the Fund. Under Section 15(c) of the Investment Company Act, contracts for investment advisory services are required to be reviewed, evaluated, and approved by a majority of a fund’s directors/trustees (the “Directors”), including a majority of the independent Directors each year. The Board regards this annual evaluation and renewal as one of its most important responsibilities.
In connection with their annual review and evaluation, the independent Directors memorialized a statement regarding the relationship between their ongoing obligations to oversee and evaluate the performance of the Advisor and their consideration of renewal of the management agreement. In that statement, the independent Directors noted that their assessment of the Advisor’s performance is an ongoing process that takes place over the entire year and is informed by all of the information that the Board and its committees receive and consider over time. This information, together with the materials provided in connection with the review, are central to the Board’s assessment of the Advisor’s performance and its determination whether to renew the Fund’s management agreement.
Prior to its consideration of the renewal of the management agreement, the Board requested and reviewed extensive data and analysis relating to the proposed renewal. This information and analysis was compiled by the Advisor and certain independent providers of evaluation data concerning the Fund and the services provided to the Fund by the Advisor.
In connection with its consideration of the renewal of the management agreement, the Board’s review and evaluation of the services provided by the Advisor included, but was not limited to, the following:
• | the nature, extent, and quality of investment management, shareholder services, and other services provided by the Advisor to the Fund; |
• | the wide range of other programs and services the Advisor provides to the Fund and its shareholders on a routine and non-routine basis; |
• | the investment performance of the Fund, including data comparing the Fund’s performance to appropriate benchmarks and/or a peer group of other mutual funds with similar investment objectives and strategies; |
• | data comparing the cost of owning the Fund to the cost of owning similar funds; |
• | the Advisor’s compliance policies, procedures, and regulatory experience; |
• | financial data showing the cost of services provided to the Fund, the profitability of the Fund to the Advisor, and the overall profitability of the Advisor; |
• | possible economies of scale associated with the Advisor’s management of the Fund and other accounts under its management; |
• | data comparing services provided and charges to other investment management clients of the Advisor; and |
• | consideration of collateral benefits derived by the Advisor from the management of the Fund. |
In keeping with its practice, the Board held two in-person meetings to review and discuss the information provided. The Board also had the benefit of the advice of its independent counsel throughout the period.
Factors Considered
The Directors considered all of the information provided by the Advisor, the independent data providers, and the Board’s independent counsel in connection with the review, and evaluated such information for the Fund. In connection with their review, the Directors did not identify any single factor as being all-important or controlling and each Director may have attributed different levels of importance to different factors. In deciding to renew the management agreement, the Board based its decision on a number of factors, including the following:
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services - Generally. Under the management agreement, the Advisor is responsible for providing or arranging for all services necessary for the operation of the Fund. The Board noted that under the management agreement, the Advisor provides or arranges at its own expense a wide variety of services including:
• | constructing and designing the Fund |
• | portfolio research and security selection |
• | initial capitalization/funding |
• | daily valuation of the Fund’s portfolio |
• | shareholder servicing and transfer agency, including shareholder confirmations, recordkeeping, and communications |
• | regulatory and portfolio compliance |
• | marketing and distribution |
The Board noted that many of these services have expanded over time both in terms of quantity and complexity in response to shareholder demands, competition in the industry, changing distribution channels, and the changing regulatory environment.
Investment Management Services. The nature of the investment management services provided to the Fund is quite complex and allows Fund shareholders access to professional money management, instant diversification of their investments within an asset class, the opportunity to easily diversify among asset classes by investing in or exchanging among various American Century Investments funds, and liquidity. In evaluating investment performance, the Board expects the Advisor to manage the Fund in accordance with its investment objectives and approved strategies. Further, the Directors recognize that the Advisor has an obligation to seek the best execution of fund trades. In providing these services, the Advisor utilizes teams of investment professionals (portfolio managers, analysts, research assistants, and securities traders) who require extensive information technology, research, training, compliance and other systems to conduct their business. The Board, directly and through its Portfolio Committee, regularly reviews investment performance information for the Fund, together with comparative information for appropriate benchmarks and/or peer groups of similarly-managed funds, over different time horizons. The Directors also review detailed performance information during the management agreement approval process. If performance concerns are identified, the Fund receives special reviews until performance improves, during which the Board discusses with the Advisor the reasons for such results (e.g., market conditions, security selection) and any efforts being undertaken to improve performance. The Board found the investment management services provided by the Advisor to the Fund to meet or exceed industry standards. More detailed information about the Fund’s performance can be found in the Performance section of this report.
Shareholder and Other Services. Under the management agreement, the Advisor provides the Fund with a comprehensive package of transfer agency, shareholder, and other services. The Board, directly and through various committees of the Board, regularly reviews reports and evaluations of such services at its regular meetings. These reports include, but are not limited to, information regarding the operational efficiency and accuracy of the shareholder and transfer agency services provided, staffing levels, shareholder satisfaction (as measured by external as well as internal sources), technology support, new products and services offered to Fund shareholders, securities trading activities, portfolio valuation services, auditing services, and legal and operational compliance activities. Certain aspects of shareholder and transfer agency service level efficiency and the quality of securities trading activities are measured by independent third party providers and are presented in comparison to other fund groups not managed by the Advisor. The Board found the services provided by the Advisor to the Fund under the management agreement to be competitive and of high quality.
Costs of Services and Profitability. The Advisor provides detailed information concerning its cost of providing various services to the Fund, its profitability in managing the Fund, its overall profitability, and its financial condition. The Directors have reviewed with the Advisor the methodology used to prepare this financial information. The financial information regarding the Advisor is considered in evaluating the Advisor’s financial condition, its ability to continue
to provide services under the management agreement, and the reasonableness of the current management fee. The Board concluded that the Advisor’s profits were reasonable in light of the services provided to the Fund.
Ethics. The Board generally considers the Advisor’s commitment to providing quality services to shareholders and to conducting its business ethically. They noted that the Advisor’s practices generally meet or exceed industry best practices.
Economies of Scale. The Board also reviewed information provided by the Advisor regarding the possible existence of economies of scale in connection with the management of the Fund. The Board concluded that economies of scale are difficult to measure and predict with precision, especially on a fund-by-fund basis. The Board concluded that the Advisor is appropriately sharing economies of scale through its competitive fee structure, offering competitive fees from fund inception, and through reinvestment in its business to provide shareholders additional content and services.
Comparison to Other Funds’ Fees. The management agreement provides that the Fund pay the Advisor a single, all-inclusive (or unified) management fee for providing all services necessary for the management and operation of the Fund, other than brokerage expenses, taxes, interest, extraordinary expenses, and the fees and expenses of the Fund’s independent directors (including their independent legal counsel) and expenses incurred in connection with the provision of shareholder services and distribution services under a plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Under the unified fee structure, the Advisor is responsible for providing all investment advisory, custody, audit, administrative, compliance, recordkeeping, marketing and shareholder services, or arranging and supervising third parties to provide such services. By contrast, most other funds are charged a variety of fees, including an investment advisory fee, a transfer agency fee, an administrative fee, distribution charges and other expenses. Other than their investment advisory fees and any applicable Rule 12b-1 distribution fees, all other components of the total fees charged by these other funds may be increased without shareholder approval. The Board believes the unified fee structure is a benefit to Fund shareholders because it clearly discloses to shareholders the cost of owning Fund shares, and, since the unified fee cannot be increased without a vote of Fund shareholders, it shifts to the Advisor the risk of increased costs of operating the Fund and provides a direct incentive to minimize administrative inefficiencies. Part of the Board’s analysis of fee levels involves reviewing certain evaluative data compiled by an independent provider and comparing the Fund’s unified fee to the total expense ratio of other funds in the Fund’s peer group. The Board concluded that the management fee paid by the Fund to the Advisor under the management agreement is reasonable in light of the services provided to the Fund.
Comparison to Fees and Services Provided to Other Clients of the Advisor. The Board also requested and received information from the Advisor concerning the nature of the services, fees, costs and profitability of its advisory services to advisory clients other than the Fund. They observed that these varying types of client accounts require different services and involve different regulatory and entrepreneurial risks than the management of the Fund. The Board analyzed this information and concluded that the fees charged and services provided to the Fund were reasonable by comparison.
Collateral or “Fall-Out” Benefits Derived by the Advisor. The Board considered the existence of collateral benefits the Advisor may receive as a result of its relationship with the Fund. They concluded that the Advisor’s primary business is managing mutual funds and it generally does not use fund or shareholder information to generate profits in other lines of business, and therefore does not derive any significant collateral benefits from them. The Board noted that the Advisor receives proprietary research from broker-dealers that execute fund portfolio transactions and concluded that this research is likely to benefit Fund shareholders. The Board also determined that the Advisor is able to provide investment management services to certain clients other than the Fund, at least in part, due to its existing infrastructure built to serve the fund complex. The Board concluded, however, that the assets of those other clients are not material to the analysis and, where applicable, may be included with the assets of the Fund to determine breakpoints in the management fee schedule.
Existing Relationship. The Board also considered whether there was any reason for not continuing the existing arrangement with the Advisor. In this regard, the Board was mindful of the potential disruptions of the Fund’s operations and various risks, uncertainties, and other effects that could occur as a result of a decision not to continue such relationship. In particular, the Board recognized that most shareholders have invested in the Fund on the strength of the Advisor’s industry standing and reputation and in the expectation that the Advisor will have a continuing role in providing advisory services to the Fund.
Conclusion of the Directors. As a result of this process, the Board, including all of the independent directors and assisted by the advice of independent legal counsel, taking into account all of the factors discussed above and the information provided by the Advisor and others, concluded that the management agreement between the Fund and the Advisor is fair and reasonable in light of the services provided and should be renewed.
Retirement Account Information
As required by law, distributions you receive from certain IRAs 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.
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.
Distributions you receive from 403(b), 457 and qualified plans are subject to special tax and withholding rules. Your plan administrator or plan sponsor is required to provide you with a special tax notice explaining those rules at the time you request a distribution. If applicable, federal and/or state taxes may be withheld from your distribution amount.

Dear Investor:
Thank you for reviewing this semiannual report for the six months ended September 30, 2013. It provides a macroeconomic and financial market overview (below), followed by fund performance, a schedule of fund investments, and other financial information.
For additional commentary and updated information on fund performance, key factors that affected asset returns, and other insights regarding the investment markets, we encourage you to visit our website, americancentury.com.
Bond Yields and Stock Indices Soared Together Until September
U.S. government bond yields and stock indices traced roughly parallel upward paths during most of the six months ended September 30, 2013. The 10-year U.S. Treasury yield began the period at 1.85%, compressed in large part by the scale of the Federal Reserve’s (the Fed’s) bond-buying program ($85 billion of quantitative easing, or QE, each month).
Hints from the Fed that it might taper QE by year end sent bond yields soaring from early May to early September. The 10-year Treasury yield reached 3.00% on September 5, its first time at that level since July 2011, before finishing the reporting period at 2.61%. Bond yields generally declined in September on weaker-than-expected economic data, the Fed’s announcement that it would delay tapering, and uncertainty caused by the impending partial shutdown of the U.S. government.
Even with the September rally, bonds significantly underperformed stocks for the full reporting period. The 10-year Treasury note and the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (representing the broad taxable U.S. bond market) returned –5.20% and –1.77%, respectively. By contrast, the S&P 500 Index gained 8.31% as the U.S. economy showed signs of attaining sustainable growth, fueled in part by Fed stimulus. Improvements in the housing and job markets helped trigger optimism, though their absolute numbers still fell short of pre-2008 levels.
Full recovery from 2008 remains a distant goal. Economic growth is still subpar compared with past recoveries, hampered further by the fiscal sequester and partial government shutdown. Faced with these challenges, we continue to believe in a disciplined, diversified, long-term investment approach, using professionally managed stock and bond portfolios—as appropriate—for meeting financial goals. We appreciate your continued trust in us in this uncertain environment.
Sincerely,
Jonathan Thomas
President and Chief Executive Officer

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. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate, and redemption value may be more or less than original cost. To obtain performance data current to the most recent month end, please call 1-800-345-2021 or visit americancentury.com. As interest rates rise, bond values will decline. 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.
Unless otherwise indicated, performance reflects Investor Class shares; performance for other share classes will vary due to differences in fee structure. For information about other share classes available, please consult the prospectus. 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. Returns for the index are provided for comparison. The fund’s total returns include operating expenses (such as transaction costs and management fees) that reduce returns, while the total returns of the index do not.

*Amount relates primarily to receivable for investments sold and payable for investments purchased, but not settled, at period end. |
Fund shareholders may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and redemption/exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service (12b-1) fees; and other fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in your fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing cost of investing in other mutual funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from April 1, 2013 to September 30, 2013 (except as noted).
Actual Expenses
The table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses for each class. You may use the information, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. First, identify the share class you own. Then simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
If you hold Investor Class shares of any American Century Investments fund, or Institutional Class shares of the American Century Diversified Bond Fund, in an American Century Investments account (i.e., not a financial intermediary or retirement plan account), American Century Investments may charge you a $12.50 semiannual account maintenance fee if the value of those shares is less than $10,000. We will redeem shares automatically in one of your accounts to pay the $12.50 fee. In determining your total eligible investment amount, we will include your investments in all personal accounts (including American Century Investments Brokerage accounts) registered under your Social Security number. Personal accounts include individual accounts, joint accounts, UGMA/UTMA accounts, personal trusts, Coverdell Education Savings Accounts and IRAs (including traditional, Roth, Rollover, SEP-, SARSEP- and SIMPLE-IRAs), and certain other retirement accounts. If you have only business, business retirement, employer-sponsored or American Century Investments Brokerage accounts, you are currently not subject to this fee. If you are subject to the Account Maintenance Fee, your account value could be reduced by the fee amount.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The table also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual expense ratio of each class of your fund and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the actual return of a fund’s share class. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption/exchange fees. Therefore, the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

SEPTEMBER 30, 2013 (UNAUDITED)
1. Organization
American Century Investment Trust (the trust) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company and is organized as a Massachusetts business trust. Diversified Bond Fund (the fund) is one fund in a series issued by the trust. The fund is diversified as defined under the 1940 Act. 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, the Institutional Class, the A Class, the B Class, the C Class, the R Class and the R6 Class. The A Class may incur an initial sales charge. The A Class, B Class and C Class may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge. The share classes differ principally in their respective sales charges and distribution and shareholder servicing expenses and arrangements. The Institutional Class and R6 Class shareholders do not require the same level of shareholder and administrative services from American Century Investment Management, Inc. (ACIM) (the investment advisor) as shareholders of other classes. In addition, financial intermediaries do not receive any service, distribution or administrative fees for the R6 Class. As a result, the Institutional Class and R6 Class are charged lower unified management fees. Sale of the R6 Class commenced on July 26, 2013.
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 financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which may require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Investment Valuations — The fund determines the fair value of its investments and computes its net asset value per share as of 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.
Debt securities maturing in greater than 60 days at the time of purchase 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. Debt securities maturing within 60 days at the time of purchase may be valued at cost, plus or minus any amortized discount or premium or at the evaluated mean as provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated mean prices are commonly derived through utilization of market models, which may consider, among other factors, trade data, quotations from dealers and active market makers, relevant yield curve and spread data, related sector levels, creditworthiness, and other relevant market information on the same or comparable securities.
Investments in open-end management investment companies are valued at the reported net asset value per share. Repurchase agreements are valued at cost. Exchange-traded futures contracts are valued at the settlement price as provided by the appropriate clearing corporation. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are valued at the mean of the latest bid and asked prices of the forward currency rates as provided by an independent pricing service.
The value of investments initially expressed in foreign currencies is translated into U.S. dollars at prevailing exchange rates.
If the fund determines that the market price for a portfolio security is not readily available or the valuation methods mentioned above do not reflect a security’s fair value, such security is valued as determined in good faith by the Board of Trustees or its designee, in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. Circumstances that may cause the fund to use these procedures to value a security include, but are not limited to: a security has been declared in default; trading in a security has been halted during the trading day; there is a foreign market holiday and no trading occurred; or an event occurred between the close of a foreign exchange and the NYSE that may affect the value of a security.
Security Transactions — Security transactions are accounted for as of the trade date. Net realized gains and losses are determined on the identified cost basis, which is also used for federal income tax purposes.
Investment Income — Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis and includes paydown gain (loss) and accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums. Inflation adjustments related to inflation-linked debt securities are reflected as interest income.
Foreign Currency Translations — All assets and liabilities initially expressed in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at prevailing exchange rates at period end. The fund may enter into spot foreign currency exchange contracts to facilitate transactions denominated in a foreign currency. Purchases and sales of investment securities, dividend and interest income, spot foreign currency exchange contracts, and expenses are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. Net realized and unrealized foreign currency exchange gains or losses related to investment securities are a component of net realized gain (loss) on investment transactions and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments, respectively.
Forward Commitments — The fund may engage in securities transactions on a forward commitment basis. In these transactions, the securities’ prices and yields are fixed on the date of the commitment. The fund may sell a to-be-announced (TBA) security and at the same time make a commitment to purchase the same security at a future date at a specified price. Conversely, the fund may purchase a TBA security and at the same time make a commitment to sell the same security at a future date at a specified price. These types of transactions are known as “TBA roll” transactions and are accounted for as purchases and sales. The fund will segregate cash, cash equivalents or other appropriate liquid securities on its records in amounts sufficient to meet the purchase price.
Repurchase Agreements — The fund may enter into repurchase agreements with institutions that ACIM has determined are creditworthy pursuant to criteria adopted by the Board of Trustees. The fund requires that the collateral, represented by securities, received in a repurchase transaction be transferred to the custodian in a manner sufficient to enable the fund to obtain those securities in the event of a default under the repurchase agreement. ACIM monitors, on a daily basis, the securities transferred to ensure the value, including accrued interest, of the securities under each repurchase agreement is equal to or greater than amounts owed to the fund under each repurchase agreement.
Joint Trading Account — Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the fund, along with certain other funds in the American Century Investments family of funds, may transfer uninvested cash balances into a joint trading account. These balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Agency obligations.
Segregated Assets — In accordance with the 1940 Act, the fund segregates assets on its books and records to cover certain types of investments, including, but not limited to, futures contracts, forward commitments, when-issued securities, swap agreements and certain forward foreign currency exchange contracts. 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 margin requirements on futures contracts and swap agreements.
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 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
Management Fees — The trust has entered into a management agreement with ACIM, under which ACIM provides the fund with investment advisory and management services in exchange for a single, unified management fee (the fee) per class. The agreement provides that all expenses of managing and operating the fund, except distribution and service fees, brokerage expenses, taxes, interest, fees and expenses of the independent trustees (including legal counsel fees), and extraordinary expenses, will be paid by ACIM. The fee is computed and accrued daily based on each class’s daily net assets and paid monthly in arrears. The fee consists of (1) an Investment Category Fee based on the daily net assets of the fund and certain other accounts managed by the investment advisor that are in the same broad investment category as the fund and (2) a Complex Fee based on the assets of all the funds in the American Century Investments family of funds. The rates for the Investment Category Fee range from 0.2925% to 0.4100%. The rates for the Complex Fee range from 0.2500% to 0.3100% for the Investor Class, A Class, B Class, C Class and R Class. The rates for the Complex Fee range from 0.0500% to 0.1100% for the Institutional Class and 0.0000% to 0.0600% for the R6 Class. The effective annual management fee for each class for the period ended September 30, 2013 was 0.60% for the Investor Class, A Class, B Class, C Class and R Class, 0.40% for the Institutional Class and 0.35% 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, B 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 American Century Investment Services, Inc. (ACIS) an annual distribution and service fee of 0.25%. The plans provide that the B Class and C Class will each 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 six months ended September 30, 2013 are detailed in the Statement of Operations.
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, 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. and American Century Strategic Asset Allocations, Inc. own, in aggregate, 13% of the shares of the fund.
4. Investment Transactions
Purchases of investment securities, excluding short-term investments, for the six months ended September 30, 2013 totaled $4,601,846,825, of which $4,137,930,114 represented U.S. Treasury and Government Agency obligations.
Sales of investment securities, excluding short-term investments, for the six months ended September 30, 2013 totaled $5,310,377,966, of which $4,693,330,768 represented U.S. Treasury and Government Agency obligations.

6. Fair Value Measurements
The fund’s securities valuation process is based on several considerations and may use multiple inputs to determine the fair value of the positions 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 as follows:
• | Level 1 valuation inputs consist of unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical securities; |
• | Level 2 valuation inputs consist of direct or indirect observable market data (including quoted prices for similar securities, evaluations of subsequent market events, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.); or |
• | Level 3 valuation inputs consist of unobservable data (including a fund’s own assumptions). |
The level classification is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair valuation measurement. The valuation inputs are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in these securities or other financial instruments.
The following is a summary of the level classifications as of period end. The Schedule of Investments provides additional information on the fund’s portfolio holdings.

7. Derivative Instruments
Foreign Currency Risk — The fund is subject to foreign currency exchange rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The value of foreign investments held by a fund may be significantly affected by changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The dollar value of a foreign security generally decreases when the value of the dollar rises against the foreign currency in which the security is denominated and tends to increase when the value of the dollar declines against such foreign currency. A fund may enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts to reduce a fund’s exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. 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 foreign currency transactions and change
in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on translation of assets and liabilities in foreign currencies, 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 foreign currency risk derivative instruments held at period end as disclosed on the Schedule of Investments are indicative of the fund’s typical volume during the period.
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 purchased and sold interest rate risk derivative instruments throughout the reporting period and the instruments held at period end as disclosed on the Schedule of Investments are indicative of the fund’s typical volume.

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 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 September 30, 2013, the components of investments for federal income tax purposes were as follows:
| | | |
Federal tax cost of investments | | $5,335,637,838 | |
Gross tax appreciation of investments | | $119,971,513 | |
Gross tax depreciation of investments | | (71,242,132 | ) |
Net tax appreciation (depreciation) of investments | | $48,729,381 | |
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales.

Approval of Management Agreement |
At a meeting held on June 11, 2013, the Fund’s Board of Directors/Trustees unanimously approved the renewal of the management agreement pursuant to which American Century Investment Management, Inc. (the “Advisor”) acts as the investment advisor for the Fund. Under Section 15(c) of the Investment Company Act, contracts for investment advisory services are required to be reviewed, evaluated, and approved by a majority of a fund’s directors/trustees (the “Directors”), including a majority of the independent Directors each year. The Board regards this annual evaluation and renewal as one of its most important responsibilities.
In connection with their annual review and evaluation, the independent Directors memorialized a statement regarding the relationship between their ongoing obligations to oversee and evaluate the performance of the Advisor and their consideration of renewal of the management agreement. In that statement, the independent Directors noted that their assessment of the Advisor’s performance is an ongoing process that takes place over the entire year and is informed by all of the information that the Board and its committees receive and consider over time. This information, together with the materials provided in connection with the review, are central to the Board’s assessment of the Advisor’s performance and its determination whether to renew the Fund’s management agreement.
Prior to its consideration of the renewal of the management agreement, the Board requested and reviewed extensive data and analysis relating to the proposed renewal. This information and analysis was compiled by the Advisor and certain independent providers of evaluation data concerning the Fund and the services provided to the Fund by the Advisor.
In connection with its consideration of the renewal of the management agreement, the Board’s review and evaluation of the services provided by the Advisor included, but was not limited to, the following:
• | the nature, extent, and quality of investment management, shareholder services, and other services provided by the Advisor to the Fund; |
• | the wide range of other programs and services the Advisor provides to the Fund and its shareholders on a routine and non-routine basis; |
• | the investment performance of the Fund, including data comparing the Fund’s performance to appropriate benchmarks and/or a peer group of other mutual funds with similar investment objectives and strategies; |
• | data comparing the cost of owning the Fund to the cost of owning similar funds; |
• | the Advisor’s compliance policies, procedures, and regulatory experience; |
• | financial data showing the cost of services provided to the Fund, the profitability of the Fund to the Advisor, and the overall profitability of the Advisor; |
• | possible economies of scale associated with the Advisor’s management of the Fund and other accounts under its management; |
• | data comparing services provided and charges to other investment management clients of the Advisor; and |
• | consideration of collateral benefits derived by the Advisor from the management of the Fund. |
In keeping with its practice, the Board held two in-person meetings to review and discuss the information provided. The Board also had the benefit of the advice of its independent counsel throughout the period.
Factors Considered
The Directors considered all of the information provided by the Advisor, the independent data providers, and the Board’s independent counsel in connection with the review, and evaluated such information for the Fund. In connection with their review, the Directors did not identify any single factor as being all-important or controlling and each Director may have attributed different levels of importance to different factors. In deciding to renew the management agreement, the Board based its decision on a number of factors, including the following:
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services — Generally. Under the management agreement, the Advisor is responsible for providing or arranging for all services necessary for the operation of the Fund. The Board noted that under the management agreement, the Advisor provides or arranges at its own expense a wide variety of services including:
• | constructing and designing the Fund |
• | portfolio research and security selection |
• | initial capitalization/funding |
• | daily valuation of the Fund’s portfolio |
• | shareholder servicing and transfer agency, including shareholder confirmations, recordkeeping, and communications |
• | regulatory and portfolio compliance |
• | marketing and distribution |
The Board noted that many of these services have expanded over time both in terms of quantity and complexity in response to shareholder demands, competition in the industry, changing distribution channels, and the changing regulatory environment.
Investment Management Services. The nature of the investment management services provided to the Fund is quite complex and allows Fund shareholders access to professional money management, instant diversification of their investments within an asset class, the opportunity to easily diversify among asset classes by investing in or exchanging among various American Century Investments funds, and liquidity. In evaluating investment performance, the Board expects the Advisor to manage the Fund in accordance with its investment objectives and approved strategies. Further, the Directors recognize that the Advisor has an obligation to seek the best execution of fund trades. In providing these services, the Advisor utilizes teams of investment professionals (portfolio managers, analysts, research assistants, and securities traders) who require extensive information technology, research, training, compliance and other systems to conduct their business. The Board, directly and through its Portfolio Committee, regularly reviews investment performance information for the Fund, together with comparative information for appropriate benchmarks and/or peer groups of similarly-managed funds, over different time horizons. The Directors also review detailed performance information during the management agreement approval process. If performance concerns are identified, the Fund receives special reviews until performance improves, during which the Board discusses with the Advisor the reasons for such results (e.g., market conditions, security selection) and any efforts being undertaken to improve performance. The Board found the investment management services provided by the Advisor to the Fund to meet or exceed industry standards. More detailed information about the Fund’s performance can be found in the Performance section of this report.
Shareholder and Other Services. Under the management agreement, the Advisor provides the Fund with a comprehensive package of transfer agency, shareholder, and other services. The Board, directly and through various committees of the Board, regularly reviews reports and evaluations of such services at its regular meetings. These reports include, but are not limited to, information regarding the operational efficiency and accuracy of the shareholder and transfer agency services provided, staffing levels, shareholder satisfaction (as measured by external as well as internal sources), technology support, new products and services offered to Fund shareholders, securities trading activities, portfolio valuation services, auditing services, and legal and operational compliance activities. Certain aspects of shareholder and transfer agency service level efficiency and the quality of securities trading activities are measured by independent third party providers and are presented in comparison to other fund groups not managed by the Advisor. The Board found the services provided by the Advisor to the Fund under the management agreement to be competitive and of high quality.
Costs of Services and Profitability. The Advisor provides detailed information concerning its cost of providing various services to the Fund, its profitability in managing the Fund, its overall profitability, and its financial condition. The Directors have reviewed with the Advisor the methodology used to prepare this financial information. The financial information regarding the Advisor is considered in evaluating the Advisor’s financial condition, its ability to continue to provide services under the management agreement, and the reasonableness of the current management fee. The Board concluded that the Advisor’s profits were reasonable in light of the services provided to the Fund.
Ethics. The Board generally considers the Advisor’s commitment to providing quality services to shareholders and to conducting its business ethically. They noted that the Advisor’s practices generally meet or exceed industry best practices.
Economies of Scale. The Board also reviewed information provided by the Advisor regarding the possible existence of economies of scale in connection with the management of the Fund. The Board concluded that economies of scale are difficult to measure and predict with precision, especially on a fund-by-fund basis. The Board concluded that the Advisor is appropriately sharing economies of scale through its competitive fee structure, offering competitive fees from fund inception, and through reinvestment in its business to provide shareholders additional content and services.
Comparison to Other Funds’ Fees. The management agreement provides that the Fund pay the Advisor a single, all-inclusive (or unified) management fee for providing all services necessary for the management and operation of the Fund, other than brokerage expenses, taxes, interest, extraordinary expenses, and the fees and expenses of the Fund’s independent directors (including their independent legal counsel) and expenses incurred in connection with the provision of shareholder services and distribution services under a plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Under the unified fee structure, the Advisor is responsible for providing all investment advisory, custody, audit, administrative, compliance, recordkeeping, marketing and shareholder services, or arranging and supervising third parties to provide such services. By contrast, most other funds are charged a variety of fees, including an investment advisory fee, a transfer agency fee, an administrative fee, distribution charges and other expenses. Other than their investment advisory fees and any applicable Rule 12b-1 distribution fees, all other components of the total fees charged by these other funds may be increased without shareholder approval. The Board believes the unified fee structure is a benefit to Fund shareholders because it clearly discloses to shareholders the cost of owning Fund shares, and, since the unified fee cannot be increased without a vote of Fund shareholders, it shifts to the Advisor the risk of increased costs of operating the Fund and provides a direct incentive to minimize administrative inefficiencies. Part of the Board’s analysis of fee levels involves reviewing certain evaluative data compiled by an independent provider and comparing the Fund’s unified fee to the total expense ratio of other funds in the Fund’s peer group. The Board concluded that the management fee paid by the Fund to the Advisor under the management agreement is reasonable in light of the services provided to the Fund.
Comparison to Fees and Services Provided to Other Clients of the Advisor. The Board also requested and received information from the Advisor concerning the nature of the services, fees, costs and profitability of its advisory services to advisory clients other than the Fund. They observed that these varying types of client accounts require different services and involve different regulatory and entrepreneurial risks than the management of the Fund. The Board analyzed this information and concluded that the fees charged and services provided to the Fund were reasonable by comparison.
Collateral or “Fall-Out” Benefits Derived by the Advisor. The Board considered the existence of collateral benefits the Advisor may receive as a result of its relationship with the Fund. They concluded that the Advisor’s primary business is managing mutual funds and it generally does not use fund or shareholder information to generate profits in other lines of business, and therefore does not derive any significant collateral benefits from them. The Board noted that the Advisor receives proprietary research from broker-dealers that execute fund portfolio transactions and concluded that this research is likely to benefit Fund shareholders. The Board also determined that the Advisor is able to provide investment management services to certain clients other than the Fund, at least in part, due to its existing infrastructure built to serve the fund complex. The Board concluded, however, that the assets of those other clients are not material to the analysis and, where applicable, may be included with the assets of the Fund to determine breakpoints in the management fee schedule.
Existing Relationship. The Board also considered whether there was any reason for not continuing the existing arrangement with the Advisor. In this regard, the Board was mindful of the potential disruptions of the Fund’s operations and various risks, uncertainties, and other effects that could occur as a result of a decision not to continue such relationship. In particular, the Board recognized that most shareholders have invested in the Fund on the strength of the Advisor’s industry standing and reputation and in the expectation that the Advisor will have a continuing role in providing advisory services to the Fund.
Conclusion of the Directors. As a result of this process, the Board, including all of the independent directors and assisted by the advice of independent legal counsel, taking into account all of the factors discussed above and the information provided by the Advisor and others, concluded that the management agreement between the Fund and the Advisor is fair and reasonable in light of the services provided and should be renewed.
Retirement Account Information
As required by law, distributions you receive from certain IRAs 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.
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.
Distributions you receive from 403(b), 457 and qualified plans are subject to special tax and withholding rules. Your plan administrator or plan sponsor is required to provide you with a special tax notice explaining those rules at the time you request a distribution. If applicable, federal and/or state taxes may be withheld from your distribution amount.

Dear Investor:
Thank you for reviewing this semiannual report for the six months ended September 30, 2013. It provides a macroeconomic and financial market overview (below), followed by fund performance, a schedule of fund investments, and other financial information.
For additional commentary and updated information on fund performance, key factors that affected asset returns, and other insights regarding the investment markets, we encourage you to visit our website, americancentury.com.
Bond Yields and Stock Indices Soared Together Until September
U.S. government bond yields and stock indices traced roughly parallel upward paths during most of the six months ended September 30, 2013. The 10-year U.S. Treasury yield began the period at 1.85%, compressed in large part by the scale of the Federal Reserve’s (the Fed’s) bond-buying program ($85 billion of quantitative easing, or QE, each month).
Hints from the Fed that it might taper QE by year end sent bond yields soaring from early May to early September. The 10-year Treasury yield reached 3.00% on September 5, its first time at that level since July 2011, before finishing the reporting period at 2.61%. Bond yields generally declined in September on weaker-than-expected economic data, the Fed’s announcement that it would delay tapering, and uncertainty caused by the impending partial shutdown of the U.S. government.
Even with the September rally, bonds significantly underperformed stocks for the full reporting period. The 10-year Treasury note and the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (representing the broad taxable U.S. bond market) returned –5.20% and –1.77%, respectively. By contrast, the S&P 500 Index gained 8.31% as the U.S. economy showed signs of attaining sustainable growth, fueled in part by Fed stimulus. Improvements in the housing and job markets helped trigger optimism, though their absolute numbers still fell short of pre-2008 levels.
Full recovery from 2008 remains a distant goal. Economic growth is still subpar compared with past recoveries, hampered further by the fiscal sequester and partial government shutdown. Faced with these challenges, we continue to believe in a disciplined, diversified, long-term investment approach, using professionally managed stock and bond portfolios—as appropriate—for meeting financial goals. We appreciate your continued trust in us in this uncertain environment.
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%. C Class shares redeemed within 12 months of purchase are 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.
(1) | Total returns for periods less than one year are not annualized. |
(2) | Returns would have been lower if a portion of the management fee had not been waived. |
(3) | Prior to September 4, 2007, the A Class was referred to as the Advisor Class and did not have a front-end sales charge. Performance prior to that date has been adjusted to reflect this charge. |
Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses |

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. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate, and redemption value may be more or less than original cost. To obtain performance data current to the most recent month end, please call 1-800-345-2021 or visit americancentury.com. As interest rates rise, bond values will decline. In addition, the lower-rated securities in which the fund invests are subject to greater liquidity risk and credit risk.
Unless otherwise indicated, performance reflects Investor Class shares; performance for other share classes will vary due to differences in fee structure. For information about other share classes available, please consult the prospectus. 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. Returns for the index are provided for comparison. The fund’s total returns include operating expenses (such as transaction costs and management fees) that reduce returns, while the total returns of the index do not.

Portfolio at a Glance |
Average Duration (effective) | 3.8 years |
Weighted Average Life | 5.4 years |

Types of Investments in Portfolio | % of net assets |
Corporate Bonds | 94.6% |
Municipal Securities | 1.9% |
Asset-Backed Securities | 0.5% |
Common Stocks | 0.3% |
Exchange-Traded Funds | 0.1% |

*Category is less than 0.05% of total net assets. |
Fund shareholders may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and redemption/exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service (12b-1) fees; and other fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in your fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing cost of investing in other mutual funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from April 1, 2013 to September 30, 2013 (except as noted).
Actual Expenses
The table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses for each class. You may use the information, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. First, identify the share class you own. Then simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
If you hold Investor Class shares of any American Century Investments fund, or Institutional Class shares of the American Century Diversified Bond Fund, in an American Century Investments account (i.e., not a financial intermediary or retirement plan account), American Century Investments may charge you a $12.50 semiannual account maintenance fee if the value of those shares is less than $10,000. We will redeem shares automatically in one of your accounts to pay the $12.50 fee. In determining your total eligible investment amount, we will include your investments in all personal accounts (including American Century Investments Brokerage accounts) registered under your Social Security number. Personal accounts include individual accounts, joint accounts, UGMA/UTMA accounts, personal trusts, Coverdell Education Savings Accounts and IRAs (including traditional, Roth, Rollover, SEP-, SARSEP- and SIMPLE-IRAs), and certain other retirement accounts. If you have only business, business retirement, employer-sponsored or American Century Investments Brokerage accounts, you are currently not subject to this fee. If you are subject to the Account Maintenance Fee, your account value could be reduced by the fee amount.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The table also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual expense ratio of each class of your fund and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the actual return of a fund’s share class. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption/exchange fees. Therefore, the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

(1) | Expenses are equal to the class’s annualized expense ratio listed in the table above, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 183, the number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year, divided by 365, to reflect the one-half year period. |
(2) | Ending account value assumes the return earned after waiver and would have been lower if a portion of the management fee had not been waived. |
(3) | Ending account value based on actual return from July 26, 2013 (commencement of sale) through September 30, 2013. |
(4) | 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 67, the number of days in the period from July 26, 2013 (commencement of sale) through September 30, 2013, divided by 365, to reflect the period. Had the class been available for the full period, the expenses paid during the period would have been higher. |
(5) | Ending account value and expenses paid during the period assumes the class had been available throughout the entire period and are calculated using the class’s annualized expense ratio listed in the table above. |

*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 referenced obligations and upfront payments received upon entering into the agreement.
The quoted market prices and resulting market value for credit default swap agreements on credit indices 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 market 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.

SEPTEMBER 30, 2013 (UNAUDITED)
1. Organization
American Century Investment Trust (the trust) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company and is organized as a Massachusetts business trust. High-Yield Fund (the fund) is one fund in a series issued by the trust. The fund is diversified as defined under the 1940 Act. 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, the Institutional Class, the A Class, the C Class, the R Class and the 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. The share classes differ principally in their respective sales charges and distribution and shareholder servicing expenses and arrangements. The Institutional Class and R6 Class shareholders do not require the same level of shareholder and administrative services from American Century Investment Management, Inc. (ACIM) (the investment advisor) as shareholders of other classes. In addition, financial intermediaries do not receive any service, distribution or administrative fees for the R6 Class. As a result, the Institutional Class and R6 Class are charged lower unified management fees. Sale of the R6 Class commenced on July 26, 2013.
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 financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which may require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Investment Valuations — The fund determines the fair value of its investments and computes its net asset value per share as of 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.
Debt securities maturing in greater than 60 days at the time of purchase 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. Debt securities maturing within 60 days at the time of purchase may be valued at cost, plus or minus any amortized discount or premium or at the evaluated mean as provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated mean prices are commonly derived through utilization of market models, which may consider, among other factors, trade data, quotations from dealers and active market makers, relevant yield curve and spread data, related sector levels, creditworthiness, and other relevant market information on the same or comparable securities.
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 typically valued at the closing price on the exchange where primarily traded or as of 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 is used. Depending on local convention or regulation, 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. In its determination of fair value, the fund may review several factors including: market information specific to a security; news developments in U.S. and foreign markets; the performance of particular U.S. and foreign securities, indices, comparable securities, American Depositary Receipts, Exchange-Traded Funds, and other relevant market indicators.
Investments in open-end management investment companies are valued at the reported net asset value per share. Repurchase agreements are valued at cost. Exchange-traded futures contracts are valued at the settlement price as provided by the appropriate clearing corporation. Swap agreements are valued at an evaluated price as provided by independent pricing services or investment dealers. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are valued at the mean of the latest bid and asked prices of the forward currency rates as provided by an independent pricing service.
The value of investments initially expressed in foreign currencies is translated into U.S. dollars at prevailing exchange rates.
If the fund determines that the market price for a portfolio security is not readily available or the valuation methods mentioned above do not reflect a security’s fair value, such security is valued as determined in good faith by the Board of Trustees or its designee, in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. Circumstances that may cause the fund to use these procedures to value a security include, but are not limited to: a security has been declared in default; trading in a security has been halted during the trading day; there is a foreign market holiday and no trading occurred; or an event occurred between the close of a foreign exchange and the NYSE that may affect the value of a security.
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.
Foreign Currency Translations — All assets and liabilities initially expressed in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at prevailing exchange rates at period end. The fund may enter into spot foreign currency exchange contracts to facilitate transactions denominated in a foreign currency. Purchases and sales of investment securities, dividend and interest income, spot foreign currency exchange contracts, and expenses are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. Net realized and unrealized foreign currency exchange gains or losses related to investment securities are a component of net realized gain (loss) on investment transactions and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments, respectively.
Repurchase Agreements — The fund may enter into repurchase agreements with institutions that ACIM has determined are creditworthy pursuant to criteria adopted by the Board of Trustees. The fund requires that the collateral, represented by securities, received in a repurchase transaction be transferred to the custodian in a manner sufficient to enable the fund to obtain those securities in the event of a default under the repurchase agreement. ACIM monitors, on a daily basis, the securities transferred to ensure the value, including accrued interest, of the securities under each repurchase agreement is equal to or greater than amounts owed to the fund under each repurchase agreement.
Joint Trading Account — Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the fund, along with certain other funds in the American Century Investments family of funds, may transfer uninvested cash balances into a joint trading account. These balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Agency obligations.
Segregated Assets — In accordance with the 1940 Act, the fund segregates assets on its books and records to cover certain types of investments, including, but not limited to, futures contracts, forward commitments, when-issued securities, swap agreements and certain forward foreign currency exchange contracts. 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 margin requirements on futures contracts and swap agreements.
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 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
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 0.5425% to 0.6600%. The rates for the Complex Fee range from 0.2500% to 0.3100% for the Investor Class, A Class, C Class and R Class. The rates for the Complex Fee range from 0.0500% to 0.1100% for the Institutional Class and 0.0000% to 0.0600% for the R6 Class. The investment advisor voluntarily agreed to waive 0.05% of its management fee on all of the fund’s daily net assets in excess of $600 million from April 1, 2013 through July 31, 2013, at which time the waiver was terminated. The total amount of the waiver for each class for the period ended September 30, 2013 was $6,407, $5,820, $1,070, $479, $46 and $0 for the Investor Class, Institutional Class, A Class, C Class, R Class and R6 Class, respectively. The effective annual management fee for each class for the period ended September 30, 2013 was 0.85% for the Investor Class, A Class, C Class and R Class, 0.65% for the Institutional Class and 0.60% for the R6 Class.
The impact of the management fee waiver to the ratio of operating expenses to average net assets was less than 0.005% for each class for the period ended September 30, 2013.
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 American Century Investment Services, Inc. (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 six months ended September 30, 2013 are detailed in the Statement of Operations.
Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses — The fund may invest in mutual funds, exchange-traded funds, and business development companies (the acquired funds). The fund will indirectly realize its pro rata share of the fees and expenses of the acquired funds in which it invests. These indirect fees and expenses are not paid out of the fund’s assets but are reflected in the return realized by the fund on its investment in the acquired funds.
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, 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. and American Century Strategic Asset Allocations, Inc. own, in aggregate, 52% of the shares of the fund. Related parties do not invest in the fund for the purpose of exercising management or control.
4. Investment Transactions
Purchases and sales of investment securities, excluding short-term investments, for the six months ended September 30, 2013 were $123,760,407 and $104,409,099, respectively.

6. Fair Value Measurements
The fund’s securities valuation process is based on several considerations and may use multiple inputs to determine the fair value of the positions 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 as follows:
• | Level 1 valuation inputs consist of unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical securities; |
• | Level 2 valuation inputs consist of direct or indirect observable market data (including quoted prices for similar securities, evaluations of subsequent market events, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.); or |
• | 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. 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. 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 credit risk derivative instruments held at period end as disclosed on the Schedule of Investments are indicative of the fund’s typical volume during the period.
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 foreign currency transactions and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on translation of assets and liabilities in foreign currencies, 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 foreign currency risk derivative instruments held at period end as disclosed on the Schedule of Investments are indicative of the fund’s typical volume during the period.
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 purchased and sold interest rate risk derivative instruments throughout the reporting period and the instruments held at period end as disclosed on the Schedule of Investments are indicative of the fund’s typical volume.

8. Risk Factors
The fund invests primarily in lower-rated debt securities, which are subject to substantial risks including liquidity risk and credit risk.
9. Federal Tax Information
The book-basis character of distributions made during the year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. These differences reflect the differing character of certain income items and net realized gains and losses for financial statement and tax purposes, and may result in reclassification among certain capital accounts on the financial statements.
As of September 30, 2013, the components of investments for federal income tax purposes were as follows:
| | | |
Federal tax cost of investments | | $632,708,619 | |
Gross tax appreciation of investments | | $ 29,901,213 | |
Gross tax depreciation of investments | | (11,555,697 | ) |
Net tax appreciation (depreciation) of investments | | $ 18,345,516 | |
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales.

Approval of Management Agreement |
At a meeting held on June 11, 2013, the Fund’s Board of Directors/Trustees unanimously approved the renewal of the management agreement pursuant to which American Century Investment Management, Inc. (the “Advisor”) acts as the investment advisor for the Fund. Under Section 15(c) of the Investment Company Act, contracts for investment advisory services are required to be reviewed, evaluated, and approved by a majority of a fund’s directors/trustees (the “Directors”), including a majority of the independent Directors each year. The Board regards this annual evaluation and renewal as one of its most important responsibilities.
In connection with their annual review and evaluation, the independent Directors memorialized a statement regarding the relationship between their ongoing obligations to oversee and evaluate the performance of the Advisor and their consideration of renewal of the management agreement. In that statement, the independent Directors noted that their assessment of the Advisor’s performance is an ongoing process that takes place over the entire year and is informed by all of the information that the Board and its committees receive and consider over time. This information, together with the materials provided in connection with the review, are central to the Board’s assessment of the Advisor’s performance and its determination whether to renew the Fund’s management agreement.
Prior to its consideration of the renewal of the management agreement, the Board requested and reviewed extensive data and analysis relating to the proposed renewal. This information and analysis was compiled by the Advisor and certain independent providers of evaluation data concerning the Fund and the services provided to the Fund by the Advisor.
In connection with its consideration of the renewal of the management agreement, the Board’s review and evaluation of the services provided by the Advisor included, but was not limited to, the following:
• | the nature, extent, and quality of investment management, shareholder services, and other services provided by the Advisor to the Fund; |
• | the wide range of other programs and services the Advisor provides to the Fund and its shareholders on a routine and non-routine basis; |
• | the investment performance of the Fund, including data comparing the Fund’s performance to appropriate benchmarks and/or a peer group of other mutual funds with similar investment objectives and strategies; |
• | data comparing the cost of owning the Fund to the cost of owning similar funds; |
• | the Advisor’s compliance policies, procedures, and regulatory experience; |
• | financial data showing the cost of services provided to the Fund, the profitability of the Fund to the Advisor, and the overall profitability of the Advisor; |
• | possible economies of scale associated with the Advisor’s management of the Fund and other accounts under its management; |
• | data comparing services provided and charges to other investment management clients of the Advisor; and |
• | consideration of collateral benefits derived by the Advisor from the management of the Fund. |
In keeping with its practice, the Board held two in-person meetings to review and discuss the information provided. The Board also had the benefit of the advice of its independent counsel throughout the period.
Factors Considered
The Directors considered all of the information provided by the Advisor, the independent data providers, and the Board’s independent counsel in connection with the review, and evaluated such information for the Fund. In connection with their review, the Directors did not identify any single factor as being all-important or controlling and each Director may have attributed different levels of importance to different factors. In deciding to renew the management agreement, the Board based its decision on a number of factors, including the following:
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services — Generally. Under the management agreement, the Advisor is responsible for providing or arranging for all services necessary for the operation of the Fund. The Board noted that under the management agreement, the Advisor provides or arranges at its own expense a wide variety of services including:
• | constructing and designing the Fund |
• | portfolio research and security selection |
• | initial capitalization/funding |
• | daily valuation of the Fund’s portfolio |
• | shareholder servicing and transfer agency, including shareholder confirmations, recordkeeping, and communications |
• | regulatory and portfolio compliance |
• | marketing and distribution |
The Board noted that many of these services have expanded over time both in terms of quantity and complexity in response to shareholder demands, competition in the industry, changing distribution channels, and the changing regulatory environment.
Investment Management Services. The nature of the investment management services provided to the Fund is quite complex and allows Fund shareholders access to professional money management, instant diversification of their investments within an asset class, the opportunity to easily diversify among asset classes by investing in or exchanging among various American Century Investments funds, and liquidity. In evaluating investment performance, the Board expects the Advisor to manage the Fund in accordance with its investment objectives and approved strategies. Further, the Directors recognize that the Advisor has an obligation to seek the best execution of fund trades. In providing these services, the Advisor utilizes teams of investment professionals (portfolio managers, analysts, research assistants, and securities traders) who require extensive information technology, research, training, compliance and other systems to conduct their business. The Board, directly and through its Portfolio Committee, regularly reviews investment performance information for the Fund, together with comparative information for appropriate benchmarks and/or peer groups of similarly-managed funds, over different time horizons. The Directors also review detailed performance information during the management agreement approval process. If performance concerns are identified, the Fund receives special reviews until performance improves, during which the Board discusses with the Advisor the reasons for such results (e.g., market conditions, security selection) and any efforts being undertaken to improve performance. The Board found the investment management services provided by the Advisor to the Fund to meet or exceed industry standards. More detailed information about the Fund’s performance can be found in the Performance section of this report.
Shareholder and Other Services. Under the management agreement, the Advisor provides the Fund with a comprehensive package of transfer agency, shareholder, and other services. The Board, directly and through various committees of the Board, regularly reviews reports and evaluations of such services at its regular meetings. These reports include, but are not limited to, information regarding the operational efficiency and accuracy of the shareholder and transfer agency services provided, staffing levels, shareholder satisfaction (as measured by external as well as internal sources), technology support, new products and services offered to Fund shareholders, securities trading activities, portfolio valuation services, auditing services, and legal and operational compliance activities. Certain aspects of shareholder and transfer agency service level efficiency and the quality of securities trading activities are measured by independent third party providers and are presented in comparison to other fund groups not managed by the Advisor. The Board found the services provided by the Advisor to the Fund under the management agreement to be competitive and of high quality.
Costs of Services and Profitability. The Advisor provides detailed information concerning its cost of providing various services to the Fund, its profitability in managing the Fund, its overall profitability, and its financial condition. The Directors have reviewed with the Advisor the methodology used to prepare this financial information. The financial information regarding the Advisor is considered in evaluating the Advisor’s financial condition, its ability to continue
to provide services under the management agreement, and the reasonableness of the current management fee. The Board concluded that the Advisor’s profits were reasonable in light of the services provided to the Fund.
Ethics. The Board generally considers the Advisor’s commitment to providing quality services to shareholders and to conducting its business ethically. They noted that the Advisor’s practices generally meet or exceed industry best practices.
Economies of Scale. The Board also reviewed information provided by the Advisor regarding the possible existence of economies of scale in connection with the management of the Fund. The Board concluded that economies of scale are difficult to measure and predict with precision, especially on a fund-by-fund basis. The Board concluded that the Advisor is appropriately sharing economies of scale through its competitive fee structure, offering competitive fees from fund inception, and through reinvestment in its business to provide shareholders additional content and services.
Comparison to Other Funds’ Fees. The management agreement provides that the Fund pay the Advisor a single, all-inclusive (or unified) management fee for providing all services necessary for the management and operation of the Fund, other than brokerage expenses, taxes, interest, extraordinary expenses, and the fees and expenses of the Fund’s independent directors (including their independent legal counsel) and expenses incurred in connection with the provision of shareholder services and distribution services under a plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Under the unified fee structure, the Advisor is responsible for providing all investment advisory, custody, audit, administrative, compliance, recordkeeping, marketing and shareholder services, or arranging and supervising third parties to provide such services. By contrast, most other funds are charged a variety of fees, including an investment advisory fee, a transfer agency fee, an administrative fee, distribution charges and other expenses. Other than their investment advisory fees and any applicable Rule 12b-1 distribution fees, all other components of the total fees charged by these other funds may be increased without shareholder approval. The Board believes the unified fee structure is a benefit to Fund shareholders because it clearly discloses to shareholders the cost of owning Fund shares, and, since the unified fee cannot be increased without a vote of Fund shareholders, it shifts to the Advisor the risk of increased costs of operating the Fund and provides a direct incentive to minimize administrative inefficiencies. Part of the Board’s analysis of fee levels involves reviewing certain evaluative data compiled by an independent provider and comparing the Fund’s unified fee to the total expense ratio of other funds in the Fund’s peer group. The Board concluded that the management fee paid by the Fund to the Advisor under the management agreement is reasonable in light of the services provided to the Fund.
Comparison to Fees and Services Provided to Other Clients of the Advisor. The Board also requested and received information from the Advisor concerning the nature of the services, fees, costs and profitability of its advisory services to advisory clients other than the Fund. They observed that these varying types of client accounts require different services and involve different regulatory and entrepreneurial risks than the management of the Fund. The Board analyzed this information and concluded that the fees charged and services provided to the Fund were reasonable by comparison.
Collateral or “Fall-Out” Benefits Derived by the Advisor. The Board considered the existence of collateral benefits the Advisor may receive as a result of its relationship with the Fund. They concluded that the Advisor’s primary business is managing mutual funds and it generally does not use fund or shareholder information to generate profits in other lines of business, and therefore does not derive any significant collateral benefits from them. The Board noted that the Advisor receives proprietary research from broker-dealers that execute fund portfolio transactions and concluded that this research is likely to benefit Fund shareholders. The Board also determined that the Advisor is able to provide investment management services to certain clients other than the Fund, at least in part, due to its existing infrastructure built to serve the fund complex. The Board concluded, however, that the assets of those other clients are not material to the analysis and, where applicable, may be included with the assets of the Fund to determine breakpoints in the management fee schedule.
Existing Relationship. The Board also considered whether there was any reason for not continuing the existing arrangement with the Advisor. In this regard, the Board was mindful of the potential disruptions of the Fund’s operations and various risks, uncertainties, and other effects that could occur as a result of a decision not to continue such relationship. In particular, the Board recognized that most shareholders have invested in the Fund on the strength of the Advisor’s industry standing and reputation and in the expectation that the Advisor will have a continuing role in providing advisory services to the Fund.
Conclusion of the Directors. As a result of this process, the Board, including all of the independent directors and assisted by the advice of independent legal counsel, taking into account all of the factors discussed above and the information provided by the Advisor and others, concluded that the management agreement between the Fund and the Advisor is fair and reasonable in light of the services provided and should be renewed.
Retirement Account Information
As required by law, distributions you receive from certain IRAs 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.
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.
Distributions you receive from 403(b), 457 and qualified plans are subject to special tax and withholding rules. Your plan administrator or plan sponsor is required to provide you with a special tax notice explaining those rules at the time you request a distribution. If applicable, federal and/or state taxes may be withheld from your distribution amount.

Dear Investor:
Thank you for reviewing this semiannual report for the six months ended September 30, 2013. It provides a macroeconomic and financial market overview (below), followed by fund performance, a schedule of fund investments, and other financial information.
For additional commentary and updated information on fund performance, key factors that affected asset returns, and other insights regarding the investment markets, we encourage you to visit our website, americancentury.com.
Bond Yields and Stock Indices Soared Together Until September
U.S. government bond yields and stock indices traced roughly parallel upward paths during most of the six months ended September 30, 2013. The 10-year U.S. Treasury yield began the period at 1.85%, compressed in large part by the scale of the Federal Reserve’s (the Fed’s) bond-buying program ($85 billion of quantitative easing, or QE, each month).
Hints from the Fed that it might taper QE by year end sent bond yields soaring from early May to early September. The 10-year Treasury yield reached 3.00% on September 5, its first time at that level since July 2011, before finishing the reporting period at 2.61%. Bond yields generally declined in September on weaker-than-expected economic data, the Fed’s announcement that it would delay tapering, and uncertainty caused by the impending partial shutdown of the U.S. government.
Even with the September rally, bonds significantly underperformed stocks for the full reporting period. The 10-year Treasury note and the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (representing the broad taxable U.S. bond market) returned –5.20% and –1.77%, respectively. By contrast, the S&P 500 Index gained 8.31% as the U.S. economy showed signs of attaining sustainable growth, fueled in part by Fed stimulus. Improvements in the housing and job markets helped trigger optimism, though their absolute numbers still fell short of pre-2008 levels.
Full recovery from 2008 remains a distant goal. Economic growth is still subpar compared with past recoveries, hampered further by the fiscal sequester and partial government shutdown. Faced with these challenges, we continue to believe in a disciplined, diversified, long-term investment approach, using professionally managed stock and bond portfolios—as appropriate—for meeting financial goals. We appreciate your continued trust in us in this uncertain environment.
Sincerely,
Jonathan Thomas
President and Chief Executive Officer

Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses |
Institutional Class | R6 Class |
0.40% | 0.35% |
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. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate, and redemption value may be more or less than original cost. To obtain performance data current to the most recent month end, please call 1-800-345-2021 or visit americancentury.com. As interest rates rise, bond values will decline. 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.
Unless otherwise indicated, performance reflects Institutional Class shares; performance for other share classes will vary due to differences in fee structure. For information about other share classes available, please consult the prospectus. 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. Returns for the index are provided for comparison. The fund’s total returns include operating expenses (such as transaction costs and management fees) that reduce returns, while the total returns of the index do not.

*Amount relates primarily to receivable for investments sold and payable for investments purchased, but not settled, at period end.
Fund shareholders may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and redemption/exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service (12b-1) fees; and other fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in your fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing cost of investing in other mutual funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from April 1, 2013 to September 30, 2013 (except as noted).
Actual Expenses
The table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses for each class. You may use the information, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. First, identify the share class you own. Then simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
If you hold Investor Class shares of any American Century Investments fund, or Institutional Class shares of the American Century Diversified Bond Fund, in an American Century Investments account (i.e., not a financial intermediary or retirement plan account), American Century Investments may charge you a $12.50 semiannual account maintenance fee if the value of those shares is less than $10,000. We will redeem shares automatically in one of your accounts to pay the $12.50 fee. In determining your total eligible investment amount, we will include your investments in all personal accounts (including American Century Investments Brokerage accounts) registered under your Social Security number. Personal accounts include individual accounts, joint accounts, UGMA/UTMA accounts, personal trusts, Coverdell Education Savings Accounts and IRAs (including traditional, Roth, Rollover, SEP-, SARSEP- and SIMPLE-IRAs), and certain other retirement accounts. If you have only business, business retirement, employer-sponsored or American Century Investments Brokerage accounts, you are currently not subject to this fee. If you are subject to the Account Maintenance Fee, your account value could be reduced by the fee amount.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The table also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual expense ratio of each class of your fund and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the actual return of a fund’s share class. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption/exchange fees. Therefore, the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.
| Beginning Account Value 4/1/13 | Ending Account Value 9/30/13 | Expenses Paid During Period(1) 4/1/13 – 9/30/13 | Annualized Expense Ratio(1) |
Actual | | | | |
Institutional Class | $1,000 | $976.00 | $1.98 | 0.40% |
R6 Class | $1,000 | $1,001.50(2) | $0.64(3) | 0.35% |

R6 Class | $1,000 | $1,023.31(4) | $1.78(4) | 0.35% |
(1) | Expenses are equal to the class’s annualized expense ratio listed in the table above, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 183, the number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year, divided by 365, to reflect the one-half year period. |
(2) | Ending account value based on actual return from July 26, 2013 (commencement of sale) through September 30, 2013. |
(3) | 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 67, the number of days in the period from July 26, 2013 (commencement of sale) through September 30, 2013, divided by 365, to reflect the period. Had the class been available for the full period, the expenses paid during the period would have been higher. |
| |
(4) | Ending account value and expenses paid during the period assumes the class had been available throughout the entire period and are calculated using the class’s annualized expense ratio listed in the table above. |

*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 referenced obligations and upfront payments received upon entering into the agreement.
The quoted market prices and resulting market value for credit default swap agreements on credit indices 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 market 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.

SEPTEMBER 30, 2013 (UNAUDITED)
1. Organization
American Century Investment Trust (the trust) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company and is organized as a Massachusetts business trust. NT Diversified Bond Fund (the fund) is one fund in a series issued by the trust. The fund is diversified as defined under the 1940 Act. 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 for the tobacco industry.
The fund offers the Institutional Class and the R6 Class, which have different fees and expenses. The difference in the fee structures between the classes is not the result of any difference in advisory or custodial fees or other expenses related to management of the fund’s assets, which do not vary by class. The fund’s R6 Class shares are available for purchase exclusively by certain American Century Investments funds of funds that are offered only through employer-sponsored retirement plans where a financial intermediary provides retirement recordkeeping services to plan participants. Because financial intermediaries do not receive any service, distribution or administrative fees for offering such funds of funds, American Century Investment Management, Inc. (ACIM) (the investment advisor) is able to charge the R6 Class a lower unified management fee. Sale of the R6 Class commenced on July 26, 2013.
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 financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which may require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Investment Valuations — The fund determines the fair value of its investments and computes its net asset value per share as of 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.
Debt securities maturing in greater than 60 days at the time of purchase 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. Debt securities maturing within 60 days at the time of purchase may be valued at cost, plus or minus any amortized discount or premium or at the evaluated mean as provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated mean prices are commonly derived through utilization of market models, which may consider, among other factors, trade data, quotations from dealers and active market makers, relevant yield curve and spread data, related sector levels, creditworthiness, and other relevant market information on the same or comparable securities.
Investments in open-end management investment companies are valued at the reported net asset value per share. Repurchase agreements are valued at cost. Exchange-traded futures contracts are valued at the settlement price as provided by the appropriate clearing corporation. Swap agreements are valued at an evaluated price as provided by independent pricing services or investment dealers. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are valued at the mean of the latest bid and asked prices of the forward currency rates as provided by an independent pricing service.
The value of investments initially expressed in foreign currencies is translated into U.S. dollars at prevailing exchange rates.
If the fund determines that the market price for a portfolio security is not readily available or the valuation methods mentioned above do not reflect a security’s fair value, such security is valued as determined in good faith by the Board of Trustees or its designee, in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. Circumstances that may cause the fund to use these procedures to value a security include, but are not limited to: a security has been declared in default; trading in a security has been halted during the trading day; there is a foreign market holiday and no trading occurred; or an event occurred between the close of a foreign exchange and the NYSE that may affect the value of a security.
Security Transactions — Security transactions are accounted for as of the trade date. Net realized gains and losses are determined on the identified cost basis, which is also used for federal income tax purposes.
Investment Income — Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis and includes paydown gain (loss) and accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums. Inflation adjustments related to inflation-linked debt securities are reflected as interest income.
Foreign Currency Translations — All assets and liabilities initially expressed in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at prevailing exchange rates at period end. The fund may enter into spot foreign currency exchange contracts to facilitate transactions denominated in a foreign currency. Purchases and sales of investment securities, dividend and interest income, spot foreign currency exchange contracts, and expenses are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. Net realized and unrealized foreign currency exchange gains or losses related to investment securities are a component of net realized gain (loss) on investment transactions and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments, respectively.
Forward Commitments — The fund may engage in securities transactions on a forward commitment basis. In these transactions, the securities’ prices and yields are fixed on the date of the commitment. The fund may sell a to-be-announced (TBA) security and at the same time make a commitment to purchase the same security at a future date at a specified price. Conversely, the fund may purchase a TBA security and at the same time make a commitment to sell the same security at a future date at a specified price. These types of transactions are known as “TBA roll” transactions and are accounted for as purchases and sales. The fund will segregate cash, cash equivalents or other appropriate liquid securities on its records in amounts sufficient to meet the purchase price.
Repurchase Agreements — The fund may enter into repurchase agreements with institutions that ACIM has determined are creditworthy pursuant to criteria adopted by the Board of Trustees. The fund requires that the collateral, represented by securities, received in a repurchase transaction be transferred to the custodian in a manner sufficient to enable the fund to obtain those securities in the event of a default under the repurchase agreement. ACIM monitors, on a daily basis, the securities transferred to ensure the value, including accrued interest, of the securities under each repurchase agreement is equal to or greater than amounts owed to the fund under each repurchase agreement.
Joint Trading Account — Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the fund, along with certain other funds in the American Century Investments family of funds, may transfer uninvested cash balances into a joint trading account. These balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Agency obligations.
Segregated Assets — In accordance with the 1940 Act, the fund segregates assets on its books and records to cover certain types of investments, including, but not limited to, futures contracts, forward commitments, when-issued securities, swap agreements and certain forward foreign currency exchange contracts. 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 margin requirements on futures contracts and swap agreements.
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 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
Management Fees — The trust has entered into a management agreement with ACIM, under which ACIM provides the fund with investment advisory and management services in exchange for a single, unified management fee (the fee) per class. The agreement provides that all expenses of managing and operating the fund, except distribution and service fees, brokerage expenses, taxes, interest, fees and expenses of the independent trustees (including legal counsel fees), and extraordinary expenses, will be paid by ACIM. The fee is computed and accrued daily based on each class’s daily net assets and paid monthly in arrears. The fee consists of (1) an Investment Category Fee based on the daily net assets of the fund and certain other accounts managed by the investment advisor that are in the same broad investment category as the fund and (2) a Complex Fee based on the assets of all the funds in the American Century Investments family of funds. The rates for the Investment Category Fee range from 0.2925% to 0.4100%. The rates for the Complex Fee range from 0.0500% to 0.1100% for the Institutional Class and 0.0000% to 0.0600% for the R6 Class. The effective annual management fee for each class for the period ended September 30, 2013 was 0.40% for the Institutional Class and 0.35% for the R6 Class.
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.
4. Investment Transactions

6. Fair Value Measurements
The fund’s securities valuation process is based on several considerations and may use multiple inputs to determine the fair value of the positions 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 as follows:
• | Level 1 valuation inputs consist of unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical securities; |
• | Level 2 valuation inputs consist of direct or indirect observable market data (including quoted prices for similar securities, evaluations of subsequent market events, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.); or |
• | 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.
| | Level 1 | | | Level 2 | | | Level 3 | |

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. 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. 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 credit risk derivative instruments held at period end as disclosed on the Schedule of Investments are indicative of the fund’s typical volume during the period.
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 foreign currency transactions and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on translation of assets and liabilities in foreign currencies, 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 foreign currency risk derivative instruments held at period end as disclosed on the Schedule of Investments are indicative of the fund’s typical volume during the period.
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 purchased and sold interest rate risk derivative instruments throughout the reporting period and the instruments held at period end as disclosed on the Schedule of Investments are indicative of the fund’s typical volume.

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 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 September 30, 2013, the components of investments for federal income tax purposes were as follows:
| | | |
Federal tax cost of investments | | $2,140,532,239 | |
Gross tax appreciation of investments | | $22,281,393 | |
Gross tax depreciation of investments | | (25,447,898 | ) |
Net tax appreciation (depreciation) of investments | | $(3,166,505 | ) |
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales.

Approval of Management Agreement |
At a meeting held on June 11, 2013, the Fund’s Board of Directors/Trustees unanimously approved the renewal of the management agreement pursuant to which American Century Investment Management, Inc. (the “Advisor”) acts as the investment advisor for the Fund. Under Section 15(c) of the Investment Company Act, contracts for investment advisory services are required to be reviewed, evaluated, and approved by a majority of a fund’s directors/trustees (the “Directors”), including a majority of the independent Directors each year. The Board regards this annual evaluation and renewal as one of its most important responsibilities.
In connection with their annual review and evaluation, the independent Directors memorialized a statement regarding the relationship between their ongoing obligations to oversee and evaluate the performance of the Advisor and their consideration of renewal of the management agreement. In that statement, the independent Directors noted that their assessment of the Advisor’s performance is an ongoing process that takes place over the entire year and is informed by all of the information that the Board and its committees receive and consider over time. This information, together with the materials provided in connection with the review, are central to the Board’s assessment of the Advisor’s performance and its determination whether to renew the Fund’s management agreement.
Prior to its consideration of the renewal of the management agreement, the Board requested and reviewed extensive data and analysis relating to the proposed renewal. This information and analysis was compiled by the Advisor and certain independent providers of evaluation data concerning the Fund and the services provided to the Fund by the Advisor.
In connection with its consideration of the renewal of the management agreement, the Board’s review and evaluation of the services provided by the Advisor included, but was not limited to, the following:
• | the nature, extent, and quality of investment management, shareholder services, and other services provided by the Advisor to the Fund; |
• | the wide range of other programs and services the Advisor provides to the Fund and its shareholders on a routine and non-routine basis; |
• | the investment performance of the Fund, including data comparing the Fund’s performance to appropriate benchmarks and/or a peer group of other mutual funds with similar investment objectives and strategies; |
• | data comparing the cost of owning the Fund to the cost of owning similar funds; |
• | the Advisor’s compliance policies, procedures, and regulatory experience; |
• | financial data showing the cost of services provided to the Fund, the profitability of the Fund to the Advisor, and the overall profitability of the Advisor; |
• | possible economies of scale associated with the Advisor’s management of the Fund and other accounts under its management; |
• | data comparing services provided and charges to other investment management clients of the Advisor; and |
• | consideration of collateral benefits derived by the Advisor from the management of the Fund. |
In keeping with its practice, the Board held two in-person meetings to review and discuss the information provided. The Board also had the benefit of the advice of its independent counsel throughout the period.
Factors Considered
The Directors considered all of the information provided by the Advisor, the independent data providers, and the Board’s independent counsel in connection with the review, and evaluated such information for the Fund. In connection with their review, the Directors did not identify any single factor as being all-important or controlling and each Director may have attributed different levels of importance to different factors. In deciding to renew the management agreement, the Board based its decision on a number of factors, including the following:
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services - Generally. Under the management agreement, the Advisor is responsible for providing or arranging for all services necessary for the operation of the Fund. The Board noted that under the management agreement, the Advisor provides or arranges at its own expense a wide variety of services including:
• | constructing and designing the Fund |
• | portfolio research and security selection |
• | initial capitalization/funding |
• | daily valuation of the Fund’s portfolio |
• | shareholder servicing and transfer agency, including shareholder confirmations, recordkeeping, and communications |
• | regulatory and portfolio compliance |
• | marketing and distribution |
The Board noted that many of these services have expanded over time both in terms of quantity and complexity in response to shareholder demands, competition in the industry, changing distribution channels, and the changing regulatory environment.
Investment Management Services. The nature of the investment management services provided to the Fund is quite complex and allows Fund shareholders access to professional money management, instant diversification of their investments within an asset class, the opportunity to easily diversify among asset classes by investing in or exchanging among various American Century Investments funds, and liquidity. In evaluating investment performance, the Board expects the Advisor to manage the Fund in accordance with its investment objectives and approved strategies. Further, the Directors recognize that the Advisor has an obligation to seek the best execution of fund trades. In providing these services, the Advisor utilizes teams of investment professionals (portfolio managers, analysts, research assistants, and securities traders) who require extensive information technology, research, training, compliance and other systems to conduct their business. The Board, directly and through its Portfolio Committee, regularly reviews investment performance information for the Fund, together with comparative information for appropriate benchmarks and/or peer groups of similarly-managed funds, over different time horizons. The Directors also review detailed performance information during the management agreement approval process. If performance concerns are identified, the Fund receives special reviews until performance improves, during which the Board discusses with the Advisor the reasons for such results (e.g., market conditions, security selection) and any efforts being undertaken to improve performance. The Board found the investment management services provided by the Advisor to the Fund to meet or exceed industry standards. More detailed information about the Fund’s performance can be found in the Performance section of this report.
Shareholder and Other Services. Under the management agreement, the Advisor provides the Fund with a comprehensive package of transfer agency, shareholder, and other services. The Board, directly and through various committees of the Board, regularly reviews reports and evaluations of such services at its regular meetings. These reports include, but are not limited to, information regarding the operational efficiency and accuracy of the shareholder and transfer agency services provided, staffing levels, shareholder satisfaction (as measured by external as well as internal sources), technology support, new products and services offered to Fund shareholders, securities trading activities, portfolio valuation services, auditing services, and legal and operational compliance activities. Certain aspects of shareholder and transfer agency service level efficiency and the quality of securities trading activities are measured by independent third party providers and are presented in comparison to other fund groups not managed by the Advisor. The Board found the services provided by the Advisor to the Fund under the management agreement to be competitive and of high quality.
Costs of Services and Profitability. The Advisor provides detailed information concerning its cost of providing various services to the Fund, its profitability in managing the Fund, its overall profitability, and its financial condition. The Directors have reviewed with the Advisor the methodology used to prepare this financial information. The financial information regarding the Advisor is considered in evaluating the Advisor’s financial condition, its ability to continue
to provide services under the management agreement, and the reasonableness of the current management fee. The Board concluded that the Advisor’s profits were reasonable in light of the services provided to the Fund.
Ethics. The Board generally considers the Advisor’s commitment to providing quality services to shareholders and to conducting its business ethically. They noted that the Advisor’s practices generally meet or exceed industry best practices.
Economies of Scale. The Board also reviewed information provided by the Advisor regarding the possible existence of economies of scale in connection with the management of the Fund. The Board concluded that economies of scale are difficult to measure and predict with precision, especially on a fund-by-fund basis. The Board concluded that the Advisor is appropriately sharing economies of scale through its competitive fee structure, offering competitive fees from fund inception, and through reinvestment in its business to provide shareholders additional content and services.
Comparison to Other Funds’ Fees. The management agreement provides that the Fund pay the Advisor a single, all-inclusive (or unified) management fee for providing all services necessary for the management and operation of the Fund, other than brokerage expenses, taxes, interest, extraordinary expenses, and the fees and expenses of the Fund’s independent directors (including their independent legal counsel) and expenses incurred in connection with the provision of shareholder services and distribution services under a plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Under the unified fee structure, the Advisor is responsible for providing all investment advisory, custody, audit, administrative, compliance, recordkeeping, marketing and shareholder services, or arranging and supervising third parties to provide such services. By contrast, most other funds are charged a variety of fees, including an investment advisory fee, a transfer agency fee, an administrative fee, distribution charges and other expenses. Other than their investment advisory fees and any applicable Rule 12b-1 distribution fees, all other components of the total fees charged by these other funds may be increased without shareholder approval. The Board believes the unified fee structure is a benefit to Fund shareholders because it clearly discloses to shareholders the cost of owning Fund shares, and, since the unified fee cannot be increased without a vote of Fund shareholders, it shifts to the Advisor the risk of increased costs of operating the Fund and provides a direct incentive to minimize administrative inefficiencies. Part of the Board’s analysis of fee levels involves reviewing certain evaluative data compiled by an independent provider and comparing the Fund’s unified fee to the total expense ratio of other funds in the Fund’s peer group. The Board concluded that the management fee paid by the Fund to the Advisor under the management agreement is reasonable in light of the services provided to the Fund.
Comparison to Fees and Services Provided to Other Clients of the Advisor. The Board also requested and received information from the Advisor concerning the nature of the services, fees, costs and profitability of its advisory services to advisory clients other than the Fund. They observed that these varying types of client accounts require different services and involve different regulatory and entrepreneurial risks than the management of the Fund. The Board analyzed this information and concluded that the fees charged and services provided to the Fund were reasonable by comparison.
Collateral or “Fall-Out” Benefits Derived by the Advisor. The Board considered the existence of collateral benefits the Advisor may receive as a result of its relationship with the Fund. They concluded that the Advisor’s primary business is managing mutual funds and it generally does not use fund or shareholder information to generate profits in other lines of business, and therefore does not derive any significant collateral benefits from them. The Board noted that the Advisor receives proprietary research from broker-dealers that execute fund portfolio transactions and concluded that this research is likely to benefit Fund shareholders. The Board also determined that the Advisor is able to provide investment management services to certain clients other than the Fund, at least in part, due to its existing infrastructure built to serve the fund complex. The Board concluded, however, that the assets of those other clients are not material to the analysis and, where applicable, may be included with the assets of the Fund to determine breakpoints in the management fee schedule.
Existing Relationship. The Board also considered whether there was any reason for not continuing the existing arrangement with the Advisor. In this regard, the Board was mindful of the potential disruptions of the Fund’s operations and various risks, uncertainties, and other effects that could occur as a result of a decision not to continue such relationship. In particular, the Board recognized that most shareholders have invested in the Fund on the strength of the Advisor’s industry standing and reputation and in the expectation that the Advisor will have a continuing role in providing advisory services to the Fund.
Conclusion of the Directors. As a result of this process, the Board, including all of the independent directors and assisted by the advice of independent legal counsel, taking into account all of the factors discussed above and the information provided by the Advisor and others, concluded that the management agreement between the Fund and the Advisor is fair and reasonable in light of the services provided and should be renewed.
Retirement Account Information
As required by law, distributions you receive from certain IRAs 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.
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.
Distributions you receive from 403(b), 457 and qualified plans are subject to special tax and withholding rules. Your plan administrator or plan sponsor is required to provide you with a special tax notice explaining those rules at the time you request a distribution. If applicable, federal and/or state taxes may be withheld from your distribution amount. .

Dear Investor:
Thank you for reviewing this semiannual report for the six months ended September 30, 2013. It provides a macroeconomic and financial market overview (below), followed by fund performance, a schedule of fund investments, and other financial information.
For additional commentary and updated information on fund performance, key factors that affected asset returns, and other insights regarding the investment markets, we encourage you to visit our website, americancentury.com.
Bond Yields and Stock Indices Soared Together Until September
U.S. government bond yields and stock indices traced roughly parallel upward paths during most of the six months ended September 30, 2013. The 10-year U.S. Treasury yield began the period at 1.85%, compressed in large part by the scale of the Federal Reserve’s (the Fed’s) bond-buying program ($85 billion of quantitative easing, or QE, each month).
Hints from the Fed that it might taper QE by year end sent bond yields soaring from early May to early September. The 10-year Treasury yield reached 3.00% on September 5, its first time at that level since July 2011, before finishing the reporting period at 2.61%. Bond yields generally declined in September on weaker-than-expected economic data, the Fed’s announcement that it would delay tapering, and uncertainty caused by the impending partial shutdown of the U.S. government.
Even with the September rally, bonds significantly underperformed stocks for the full reporting period. The 10-year Treasury note and the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (representing the broad taxable U.S. bond market) returned –5.20% and –1.77%, respectively. By contrast, the S&P 500 Index gained 8.31% as the U.S. economy showed signs of attaining sustainable growth, fueled in part by Fed stimulus. Improvements in the housing and job markets helped trigger optimism, though their absolute numbers still fell short of pre-2008 levels.
Full recovery from 2008 remains a distant goal. Economic growth is still subpar compared with past recoveries, hampered further by the fiscal sequester and partial government shutdown. Faced with these challenges, we continue to believe in a disciplined, diversified, long-term investment approach, using professionally managed stock and bond portfolios—as appropriate—for meeting financial goals. We appreciate your continued trust in us in this uncertain environment.
Sincerely,
Jonathan Thomas
President and Chief Executive Officer

Premium Money Market acquired all of the net assets of American Century Premium Capital Reserve Fund and the American Century Premium Government Reserve Fund on December 3, 2001, pursuant to a plan approved by the acquired funds’ shareholders on November 16, 2001. Performance information prior to December 3, 2001 is that of the American Century Premium Capital Reserve Fund.
(1) | Total returns for periods less than one year are not annualized. |
(2) | Returns would have been lower if a portion of the management fee had not been waived. |
Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses |
Investor Class 0.46% |
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. To obtain performance data current to the most recent month end, please call 1-800-345-2021 or visit americancentury.com.
An investment in the fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Although the fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the fund.
The 7-day current yield more closely reflects the current earnings of the fund than the total return.

Fund shareholders may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and redemption/exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service (12b-1) fees; and other fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in your fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing cost of investing in other mutual funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from April 1, 2013 to September 30, 2013.
Actual Expenses
The table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses for each class. You may use the information, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. First, identify the share class you own. Then simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
If you hold Investor Class shares of any American Century Investments fund, or Institutional Class shares of the American Century Diversified Bond Fund, in an American Century Investments account (i.e., not a financial intermediary or retirement plan account), American Century Investments may charge you a $12.50 semiannual account maintenance fee if the value of those shares is less than $10,000. We will redeem shares automatically in one of your accounts to pay the $12.50 fee. In determining your total eligible investment amount, we will include your investments in all personal accounts (including American Century Investments Brokerage accounts) registered under your Social Security number. Personal accounts include individual accounts, joint accounts, UGMA/UTMA accounts, personal trusts, Coverdell Education Savings Accounts and IRAs (including traditional, Roth, Rollover, SEP-, SARSEP- and SIMPLE-IRAs), and certain other retirement accounts. If you have only business, business retirement, employer-sponsored or American Century Investments Brokerage accounts, you are currently not subject to this fee. If you are subject to the Account Maintenance Fee, your account value could be reduced by the fee amount.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The table also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual expense ratio of each class of your fund and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the actual return of a fund’s share class. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption/exchange fees. Therefore, the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.
| Beginning Account Value 4/1/13 | Ending Account Value 9/30/13 | Expenses Paid During Period(1) 4/1/13 - 9/30/13 | Annualized Expense Ratio(1) |
Actual | | | | |
Investor Class (after waiver) | $1,000 | $1,000.10 | $0.95 | 0.19% |
Investor Class (before waiver) | $1,000 | $1,000.10(2) | $2.31 | 0.46% |
Hypothetical | | | | |
Investor Class (after waiver) | $1,000 | $1,024.12 | $0.96 | 0.19% |
Investor Class (before waiver) | $1,000 | $1,022.76 | $2.33 | 0.46% |
(1) | Expenses are equal to the class’s annualized expense ratio listed in the table above, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 183, the number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year, divided by 365, to reflect the one-half year period. |
(2) | Ending account value assumes the return earned after waiver and would have been lower if a portion of the management fee had not been waived. |

Notes to Financial Statements |
SEPTEMBER 30, 2013 (UNAUDITED)
1. Organization
American Century Investment Trust (the trust) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company and is organized as a Massachusetts business trust. Premium Money Market Fund (the fund) is one fund in a series issued by the trust. The fund is diversified as defined under Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act. The fund’s investment objective is to earn the highest level of current income while preserving the value of your investment.
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 financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which may require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Investment Valuations — The fund determines the fair value of its investments and computes its net asset value per share as of 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. Securities are generally valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. Investments in open-end management investment companies are valued at the reported net asset value per share. When such valuations do not reflect fair value, securities are valued as determined in good faith by the Board of Trustees or its designee, in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees.
Security Transactions — Security transactions are accounted for as of the trade date. Net realized gains and losses are determined on the identified cost basis, which is also used for federal income tax purposes.
Investment Income — Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis and includes accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums.
Income Tax Status — It is the fund’s policy to distribute substantially all net investment income and net realized gains to shareholders and to otherwise qualify as a regulated investment company under provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, no provision has been made for income taxes. The fund files U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S. tax returns as applicable. The fund’s tax returns are subject to examination by the relevant taxing authority until expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, which is generally three years from the date of filing but can be longer in certain jurisdictions. At this time, management believes there are no uncertain tax positions which, based on their technical merit, would not be sustained upon examination and for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.
Distributions to Shareholders — Distributions from net investment income are declared daily and paid monthly. The fund may make short-term capital gains distributions to comply with the distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. The fund does not expect to realize any long-term capital gains, and accordingly, does not expect to pay any long-term capital gains distributions.
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
Management Fees — The trust has entered into a management agreement with American Century Investment Management, Inc. (ACIM) (the investment manager), under which ACIM provides the fund with investment advisory and management services in exchange for a single, unified management fee (the fee). The agreement provides that all expenses of managing and operating the fund, except distribution and service fees, brokerage expenses, taxes, interest, fees and expenses of the independent trustees (including legal counsel fees), and extraordinary expenses, will be paid by ACIM. The fee is computed and accrued daily based on the daily net assets of the fund and paid monthly in arrears. The fee consists of (1) an Investment Category Fee based on the daily net assets of the fund and certain other accounts managed by the investment advisor that are in the same broad investment category as the fund and (2) a Complex Fee based on the assets of all the funds in the American Century Investments family of funds. The rates for the Investment Category Fee range from 0.1170% to 0.2300%. The rates for the Complex Fee range from 0.2500% to 0.3100%. In order to maintain a positive yield, ACIM may voluntarily waive a portion of its management fee on a daily basis. The fee waiver may be revised or terminated at any time without notice. The effective annual management fee for the six months ended September 30, 2013 was 0.45% before waiver and 0.18% after waiver.
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 in a series issued by American Century Asset Allocation Portfolios, Inc. own, in aggregate, 38% of the shares of the fund. Related parties do not invest in the fund for the purpose of exercising management or control.
4. Fair Value Measurements
The fund’s securities valuation process is based on several considerations and may use multiple inputs to determine the fair value of the positions 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 as follows:
• | Level 1 valuation inputs consist of unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical securities; |
• | Level 2 valuation inputs consist of direct or indirect observable market data (including quoted prices for similar securities, evaluations of subsequent market events, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.); or |
• | 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.

5. Federal Tax Information
The book-basis character of distributions made during the year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. These differences reflect the differing character of certain income items and net realized gains and losses for financial statement and tax purposes, and may result in reclassification among certain capital accounts on the financial statements.
As of March 31, 2013, the fund had accumulated short-term capital losses of $(328,258), which represent net capital loss carryovers that may be used to offset future realized capital gains for federal income tax purposes. Future capital loss carryover utilization in any given year may be subject to Internal Revenue Code limitations. Capital loss carryovers of $(327,622) and $(636) expire in 2017 and 2018, respectively.

Approval of Management Agreement |
At a meeting held on June 11, 2013, the Fund’s Board of Directors/Trustees unanimously approved the renewal of the management agreement pursuant to which American Century Investment Management, Inc. (the “Advisor”) acts as the investment advisor for the Fund. Under Section 15(c) of the Investment Company Act, contracts for investment advisory services are required to be reviewed, evaluated, and approved by a majority of a fund’s directors/trustees (the “Directors”), including a majority of the independent Directors each year. The Board regards this annual evaluation and renewal as one of its most important responsibilities.
In connection with their annual review and evaluation, the independent Directors memorialized a statement regarding the relationship between their ongoing obligations to oversee and evaluate the performance of the Advisor and their consideration of renewal of the management agreement. In that statement, the independent Directors noted that their assessment of the Advisor’s performance is an ongoing process that takes place over the entire year and is informed by all of the information that the Board and its committees receive and consider over time. This information, together with the materials provided in connection with the review, are central to the Board’s assessment of the Advisor’s performance and its determination whether to renew the Fund’s management agreement.
Prior to its consideration of the renewal of the management agreement, the Board requested and reviewed extensive data and analysis relating to the proposed renewal. This information and analysis was compiled by the Advisor and certain independent providers of evaluation data concerning the Fund and the services provided to the Fund by the Advisor.
In connection with its consideration of the renewal of the management agreement, the Board’s review and evaluation of the services provided by the Advisor included, but was not limited to, the following:
• | the nature, extent, and quality of investment management, shareholder services, and other services provided by the Advisor to the Fund; |
• | the wide range of other programs and services the Advisor provides to the Fund and its shareholders on a routine and non-routine basis; |
• | the investment performance of the Fund, including data comparing the Fund’s performance to appropriate benchmarks and/or a peer group of other mutual funds with similar investment objectives and strategies; |
• | data comparing the cost of owning the Fund to the cost of owning similar funds; |
• | the Advisor’s compliance policies, procedures, and regulatory experience; |
• | financial data showing the cost of services provided to the Fund, the profitability of the Fund to the Advisor, and the overall profitability of the Advisor; |
• | possible economies of scale associated with the Advisor’s management of the Fund and other accounts under its management; |
• | data comparing services provided and charges to other investment management clients of the Advisor; and |
• | consideration of collateral benefits derived by the Advisor from the management of the Fund. |
In keeping with its practice, the Board held two in-person meetings to review and discuss the information provided. The Board also had the benefit of the advice of its independent counsel throughout the period.
Factors Considered
The Directors considered all of the information provided by the Advisor, the independent data providers, and the Board’s independent counsel in connection with the review, and evaluated such information for the Fund. In connection with their review, the Directors did not identify any single factor as being all-important or controlling and each Director may have attributed different levels of importance to different factors. In deciding to renew the management agreement, the Board based its decision on a number of factors, including the following:
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services - Generally. Under the management agreement, the Advisor is responsible for providing or arranging for all services necessary for the operation of the Fund. The Board noted that under the management agreement, the Advisor provides or arranges at its own expense a wide variety of services including:
• | constructing and designing the Fund |
• | portfolio research and security selection |
• | initial capitalization/funding |
• | daily valuation of the Fund’s portfolio |
• | shareholder servicing and transfer agency, including shareholder confirmations, recordkeeping, and communications |
• | regulatory and portfolio compliance |
• | marketing and distribution |
The Board noted that many of these services have expanded over time both in terms of quantity and complexity in response to shareholder demands, competition in the industry, changing distribution channels, and the changing regulatory environment.
Investment Management Services. The nature of the investment management services provided to the Fund is quite complex and allows Fund shareholders access to professional money management, instant diversification of their investments within an asset class, the opportunity to easily diversify among asset classes by investing in or exchanging among various American Century Investments funds, and liquidity. In evaluating investment performance, the Board expects the Advisor to manage the Fund in accordance with its investment objectives and approved strategies. Further, the Directors recognize that the Advisor has an obligation to seek the best execution of fund trades. In providing these services, the Advisor utilizes teams of investment professionals (portfolio managers, analysts, research assistants, and securities traders) who require extensive information technology, research, training, compliance and other systems to conduct their business. The Board, directly and through its Portfolio Committee, regularly reviews investment performance information for the Fund, together with comparative information for appropriate benchmarks and/or peer groups of similarly-managed funds, over different time horizons. The Directors also review detailed performance information during the management agreement approval process. If performance concerns are identified, the Fund receives special reviews until performance improves, during which the Board discusses with the Advisor the reasons for such results (e.g., market conditions, security selection) and any efforts being undertaken to improve performance. The Board found the investment management services provided by the Advisor to the Fund to meet or exceed industry standards. More detailed information about the Fund’s performance can be found in the Performance section of this report.
Shareholder and Other Services. Under the management agreement, the Advisor provides the Fund with a comprehensive package of transfer agency, shareholder, and other services. The Board, directly and through various committees of the Board, regularly reviews reports and evaluations of such services at its regular meetings. These reports include, but are not limited to, information regarding the operational efficiency and accuracy of the shareholder and transfer agency services provided, staffing levels, shareholder satisfaction (as measured by external as well as internal sources), technology support, new products and services offered to Fund shareholders, securities trading activities, portfolio valuation services, auditing services, and legal and operational compliance activities. Certain aspects of shareholder and transfer agency service level efficiency and the quality of securities trading activities are measured by independent third party providers and are presented in comparison to other fund groups not managed by the Advisor. The Board found the services provided by the Advisor to the Fund under the management agreement to be competitive and of high quality.
Costs of Services and Profitability. The Advisor provides detailed information concerning its cost of providing various services to the Fund, its profitability in managing the Fund, its overall profitability, and its financial condition. The Directors have reviewed with the Advisor the methodology used to prepare this financial information. The financial information regarding the Advisor is considered in evaluating the Advisor’s financial condition, its ability to continue
to provide services under the management agreement, and the reasonableness of the current management fee. The Board concluded that the Advisor’s profits were reasonable in light of the services provided to the Fund.
Ethics. The Board generally considers the Advisor’s commitment to providing quality services to shareholders and to conducting its business ethically. They noted that the Advisor’s practices generally meet or exceed industry best practices.
Economies of Scale. The Board also reviewed information provided by the Advisor regarding the possible existence of economies of scale in connection with the management of the Fund. The Board concluded that economies of scale are difficult to measure and predict with precision, especially on a fund-by-fund basis. The Board concluded that the Advisor is appropriately sharing economies of scale through its competitive fee structure, offering competitive fees from fund inception, and through reinvestment in its business to provide shareholders additional content and services.
Comparison to Other Funds’ Fees. The management agreement provides that the Fund pay the Advisor a single, all-inclusive (or unified) management fee for providing all services necessary for the management and operation of the Fund, other than brokerage expenses, taxes, interest, extraordinary expenses, and the fees and expenses of the Fund’s independent directors (including their independent legal counsel) and expenses incurred in connection with the provision of shareholder services and distribution services under a plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Under the unified fee structure, the Advisor is responsible for providing all investment advisory, custody, audit, administrative, compliance, recordkeeping, marketing and shareholder services, or arranging and supervising third parties to provide such services. By contrast, most other funds are charged a variety of fees, including an investment advisory fee, a transfer agency fee, an administrative fee, distribution charges and other expenses. Other than their investment advisory fees and any applicable Rule 12b-1 distribution fees, all other components of the total fees charged by these other funds may be increased without shareholder approval. The Board believes the unified fee structure is a benefit to Fund shareholders because it clearly discloses to shareholders the cost of owning Fund shares, and, since the unified fee cannot be increased without a vote of Fund shareholders, it shifts to the Advisor the risk of increased costs of operating the Fund and provides a direct incentive to minimize administrative inefficiencies. Part of the Board’s analysis of fee levels involves reviewing certain evaluative data compiled by an independent provider and comparing the Fund’s unified fee to the total expense ratio of other funds in the Fund’s peer group. The Board concluded that the management fee paid by the Fund to the Advisor under the management agreement is reasonable in light of the services provided to the Fund.
Comparison to Fees and Services Provided to Other Clients of the Advisor. The Board also requested and received information from the Advisor concerning the nature of the services, fees, costs and profitability of its advisory services to advisory clients other than the Fund. They observed that these varying types of client accounts require different services and involve different regulatory and entrepreneurial risks than the management of the Fund. The Board analyzed this information and concluded that the fees charged and services provided to the Fund were reasonable by comparison.
Collateral or “Fall-Out” Benefits Derived by the Advisor. The Board considered the existence of collateral benefits the Advisor may receive as a result of its relationship with the Fund. They concluded that the Advisor’s primary business is managing mutual funds and it generally does not use fund or shareholder information to generate profits in other lines of business, and therefore does not derive any significant collateral benefits from them. The Board noted that the Advisor receives proprietary research from broker-dealers that execute fund portfolio transactions and concluded that this research is likely to benefit Fund shareholders. The Board also determined that the Advisor is able to provide investment management services to certain clients other than the Fund, at least in part, due to its existing infrastructure built to serve the fund complex. The Board concluded, however, that the assets of those other clients are not material to the analysis and, where applicable, may be included with the assets of the Fund to determine breakpoints in the management fee schedule.
Existing Relationship. The Board also considered whether there was any reason for not continuing the existing arrangement with the Advisor. In this regard, the Board was mindful of the potential disruptions of the Fund’s operations and various risks, uncertainties, and other effects that could occur as a result of a decision not to continue such relationship. In particular, the Board recognized that most shareholders have invested in the Fund on the strength of the Advisor’s industry standing and reputation and in the expectation that the Advisor will have a continuing role in providing advisory services to the Fund.
Conclusion of the Directors. As a result of this process, the Board, including all of the independent directors and assisted by the advice of independent legal counsel, taking into account all of the factors discussed above and the information provided by the Advisor and others, concluded that the management agreement between the Fund and the Advisor is fair and reasonable in light of the services provided and should be renewed.
Retirement Account Information
As required by law, distributions you receive from certain IRAs 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.
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.
Distributions you receive from 403(b), 457 and qualified plans are subject to special tax and withholding rules. Your plan administrator or plan sponsor is required to provide you with a special tax notice explaining those rules at the time you request a distribution. If applicable, federal and/or state taxes may be withheld from your distribution amount.

Dear Investor:
Thank you for reviewing this semiannual report for the six months ended September 30, 2013. It provides a macroeconomic and financial market overview (below), followed by fund performance, a schedule of fund investments, and other financial information.
For additional commentary and updated information on fund performance, key factors that affected asset returns, and other insights regarding the investment markets, we encourage you to visit our website, americancentury.com.
Bond Yields and Stock Indices Soared Together Until September
U.S. government bond yields and stock indices traced roughly parallel upward paths during most of the six months ended September 30, 2013. The 10-year U.S. Treasury yield began the period at 1.85%, compressed in large part by the scale of the Federal Reserve’s (the Fed’s) bond-buying program ($85 billion of quantitative easing, or QE, each month).
Hints from the Fed that it might taper QE by year end sent bond yields soaring from early May to early September. The 10-year Treasury yield reached 3.00% on September 5, its first time at that level since July 2011, before finishing the reporting period at 2.61%. Bond yields generally declined in September on weaker-than-expected economic data, the Fed’s announcement that it would delay tapering, and uncertainty caused by the impending partial shutdown of the U.S. government.
Even with the September rally, bonds significantly underperformed stocks for the full reporting period. The 10-year Treasury note and the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (representing the broad taxable U.S. bond market) returned –5.20% and –1.77%, respectively. By contrast, the S&P 500 Index gained 8.31% as the U.S. economy showed signs of attaining sustainable growth, fueled in part by Fed stimulus. Improvements in the housing and job markets helped trigger optimism, though their absolute numbers still fell short of pre-2008 levels.
Full recovery from 2008 remains a distant goal. Economic growth is still subpar compared with past recoveries, hampered further by the fiscal sequester and partial government shutdown. Faced with these challenges, we continue to believe in a disciplined, diversified, long-term investment approach, using professionally managed stock and bond portfolios—as appropriate—for meeting financial goals. We appreciate your continued trust in us in this uncertain environment.
Sincerely,
Jonathan Thomas
President and Chief Executive Officer
American Century Investments

B Class shares redeemed within six years of purchase are subject to a CDSC that declines from 5.00% during the first year to 0.00% after the sixth year. The SEC requires that mutual funds provide performance information net of maximum sales charges in all cases where charges could be applied.

(2) | Returns would have been lower if a portion of the management fee and/or distribution and service fee had not been waived. |
Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses |

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. To obtain performance data current to the most recent month end, please call 1-800-345-2021 or visit americancentury.com.
An investment in the fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Although the fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the fund.
The 7-day current yield more closely reflects the current earnings of the fund than the total return.

Fund shareholders may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and redemption/exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service (12b-1) fees; and other fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in your fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing cost of investing in other mutual funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from April 1, 2013 to September 30, 2013.
Actual Expenses
The table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses for each class. You may use the information, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. First, identify the share class you own. Then simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
If you hold Investor Class shares of any American Century Investments fund, or Institutional Class shares of the American Century Diversified Bond Fund, in an American Century Investments account (i.e., not a financial intermediary or retirement plan account), American Century Investments may charge you a $12.50 semiannual account maintenance fee if the value of those shares is less than $10,000. We will redeem shares automatically in one of your accounts to pay the $12.50 fee. In determining your total eligible investment amount, we will include your investments in all personal accounts (including American Century Investments Brokerage accounts) registered under your Social Security number. Personal accounts include individual accounts, joint accounts, UGMA/UTMA accounts, personal trusts, Coverdell Education Savings Accounts and IRAs (including traditional, Roth, Rollover, SEP-, SARSEP- and SIMPLE-IRAs), and certain other retirement accounts. If you have only business, business retirement, employer-sponsored or American Century Investments Brokerage accounts, you are currently not subject to this fee. If you are subject to the Account Maintenance Fee, your account value could be reduced by the fee amount.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The table also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual expense ratio of each class of your fund and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the actual return of a fund’s share class. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption/exchange fees. Therefore, the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

C Class (before waiver) | $1,000 | $1,018.40 | $6.73 | 1.33% |
(1) | Expenses are equal to the class’s annualized expense ratio listed in the table above, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 183, the number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year, divided by 365, to reflect the one-half year period. |
(2) | Ending account value assumes the return earned after waiver and would have been lower if a portion of the management fee and/or distribution and service fee had not been waived. |

SEPTEMBER 30, 2013 (UNAUDITED)
1. Organization
American Century Investment Trust (the trust) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company and is organized as a Massachusetts business trust. Prime Money Market Fund (the fund) is one fund in a series issued by the trust. The fund is diversified as defined under Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act. The fund’s investment objective is to earn the highest level of current income while preserving the value of your investment.
The fund offers the Investor Class, the A Class, the B Class and the C Class. The A Class, B Class and C Class may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge. The share classes differ principally in their respective sales charges and distribution and shareholder servicing expenses and arrangements.
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 financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which may require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Investment Valuations — The fund determines the fair value of its investments and computes its net asset value per share as of 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. Securities are generally valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. Investments in open-end management investment companies are valued at the reported net asset value per share. When such valuations do not reflect fair value, securities are valued as determined in good faith by the Board of Trustees or its designee, in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees.
Security Transactions — Security transactions are accounted for as of the trade date. Net realized gains and losses are determined on the identified cost basis, which is also used for federal income tax purposes.
Investment Income — Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis and includes accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums.
Income Tax Status — It is the fund’s policy to distribute substantially all net investment income and net realized gains to shareholders and to otherwise qualify as a regulated investment company under provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, no provision has been made for income taxes. The fund files U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S. tax returns as applicable. The fund’s tax returns are subject to examination by the relevant taxing authority until expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, which is generally three years from the date of filing but can be longer in certain jurisdictions. At this time, management believes there are no uncertain tax positions which, based on their technical merit, would not be sustained upon examination and for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.
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 are declared daily and paid monthly. The fund may make short-term capital gains distributions to comply with the distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. The fund does not expect to realize any long-term capital gains, and accordingly, does not expect to pay any long-term capital gains distributions.
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
Management Fees — The trust has entered into a management agreement with American Century Investment Management, Inc. (ACIM) (the investment advisor), 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%. The rates for the Complex Fee range from 0.2500% to 0.3100% for the Investor Class, A Class, B Class and C Class. In order to maintain a positive yield, ACIM may voluntarily waive a portion of its management fee on a daily basis. This fee waiver may be revised or terminated at any time without notice. The total amount of the waiver for each class for the six months ended September 30, 2013 was $4,322,052, $416,149, $1,223 and $16,385 for the Investor Class, A Class, B Class and C Class, respectively. The effective annual management fee before waiver for each class for the six months ended September 30, 2013 was 0.57%. The effective annual management fee after waiver for each class for the six months ended September 30, 2013 was 0.17%.
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, B 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 American Century Investment Services, Inc. (ACIS) an annual distribution and service fee of 0.25%. The plans provide that the B 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 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 six months ended September 30, 2013 are detailed in the Statement of Operations.
In order to maintain a positive yield, all or a portion of the distribution and/or service fee may voluntarily be waived on a daily basis. The fee waiver may be revised or terminated at any time without notice. For the A Class, B Class, and C Class for the six months ended September 30, 2013, the total amount of the waiver was $255,556, $3,040 and $30,242, respectively, and the effective annual distribution and service fee after waiver was 0.00% for each class.
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, ACIS, and the trust’s transfer agent, American Century Services, LLC are wholly owned, directly or indirectly, by ACC. ACIM owns 11% of the fund’s outstanding shares. Various funds issued by American Century Asset Allocation Portfolios, Inc. own, in aggregate, 6% of the shares of the fund.

5. Fair Value Measurements
The fund’s securities valuation process is based on several considerations and may use multiple inputs to determine the fair value of the positions 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 as follows:
• | Level 1 valuation inputs consist of unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical securities; |
• | Level 2 valuation inputs consist of direct or indirect observable market data (including quoted prices for similar securities, evaluations of subsequent market events, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.); or |
• | 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.

6. Federal Tax Information
The book-basis character of distributions made during the year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. These differences reflect the differing character of certain income items and net realized gains and losses for financial statement and tax purposes, and may result in reclassification among certain capital accounts on the financial statements.
As of March 31, 2013, the fund had accumulated short-term capital losses of $(707,427), which represent net capital loss carryovers that may be used to offset future realized capital gains for federal income tax purposes. Any unlimited losses will be required to be utilized prior to the losses which carry an expiration date. Future capital loss carryover utilization in any given year may be subject to Internal Revenue Code limitations. Capital loss carryovers expire as follows:
2017 | 2018 | Unlimited (Short-Term) |
$(459,307) | $(16,038) | $(232,082) |

Approval of Management Agreement |
At a meeting held on June 11, 2013, the Fund’s Board of Directors/Trustees unanimously approved the renewal of the management agreement pursuant to which American Century Investment Management, Inc. (the “Advisor”) acts as the investment advisor for the Fund. Under Section 15(c) of the Investment Company Act, contracts for investment advisory services are required to be reviewed, evaluated, and approved by a majority of a fund’s directors/trustees (the “Directors”), including a majority of the independent Directors each year. The Board regards this annual evaluation and renewal as one of its most important responsibilities.
In connection with their annual review and evaluation, the independent Directors memorialized a statement regarding the relationship between their ongoing obligations to oversee and evaluate the performance of the Advisor and their consideration of renewal of the management agreement. In that statement, the independent Directors noted that their assessment of the Advisor’s performance is an ongoing process that takes place over the entire year and is informed by all of the information that the Board and its committees receive and consider over time. This information, together with the materials provided in connection with the review, are central to the Board’s assessment of the Advisor’s performance and its determination whether to renew the Fund’s management agreement.
Prior to its consideration of the renewal of the management agreement, the Board requested and reviewed extensive data and analysis relating to the proposed renewal. This information and analysis was compiled by the Advisor and certain independent providers of evaluation data concerning the Fund and the services provided to the Fund by the Advisor.
In connection with its consideration of the renewal of the management agreement, the Board’s review and evaluation of the services provided by the Advisor included, but was not limited to, the following:
• | the nature, extent, and quality of investment management, shareholder services, and other services provided by the Advisor to the Fund; |
• | the wide range of other programs and services the Advisor provides to the Fund and its shareholders on a routine and non-routine basis; |
• | the investment performance of the Fund, including data comparing the Fund’s performance to appropriate benchmarks and/or a peer group of other mutual funds with similar investment objectives and strategies; |
• | data comparing the cost of owning the Fund to the cost of owning similar funds; |
• | the Advisor’s compliance policies, procedures, and regulatory experience; |
• | financial data showing the cost of services provided to the Fund, the profitability of the Fund to the Advisor, and the overall profitability of the Advisor; |
• | possible economies of scale associated with the Advisor’s management of the Fund and other accounts under its management; |
• | data comparing services provided and charges to other investment management clients of the Advisor; and |
• | consideration of collateral benefits derived by the Advisor from the management of the Fund. |
In keeping with its practice, the Board held two in-person meetings to review and discuss the information provided. The Board also had the benefit of the advice of its independent counsel throughout the period.
Factors Considered
The Directors considered all of the information provided by the Advisor, the independent data providers, and the Board’s independent counsel in connection with the review, and evaluated such information for the Fund. In connection with their review, the Directors did not identify any single factor as being all-important or controlling and each Director may have attributed different levels of importance to different factors. In deciding to renew the management agreement, the Board based its decision on a number of factors, including the following:
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services - Generally. Under the management agreement, the Advisor is responsible for providing or arranging for all services necessary for the operation of the Fund. The Board noted that under the management agreement, the Advisor provides or arranges at its own expense a wide variety of services including:
• | constructing and designing the Fund |
• | portfolio research and security selection |
• | initial capitalization/funding |
• | daily valuation of the Fund’s portfolio |
• | shareholder servicing and transfer agency, including shareholder confirmations, recordkeeping, and communications |
• | regulatory and portfolio compliance |
• | marketing and distribution |
The Board noted that many of these services have expanded over time both in terms of quantity and complexity in response to shareholder demands, competition in the industry, changing distribution channels, and the changing regulatory environment.
Investment Management Services. The nature of the investment management services provided to the Fund is quite complex and allows Fund shareholders access to professional money management, instant diversification of their investments within an asset class, the opportunity to easily diversify among asset classes by investing in or exchanging among various American Century Investments funds, and liquidity. In evaluating investment performance, the Board expects the Advisor to manage the Fund in accordance with its investment objectives and approved strategies. Further, the Directors recognize that the Advisor has an obligation to seek the best execution of fund trades. In providing these services, the Advisor utilizes teams of investment professionals (portfolio managers, analysts, research assistants, and securities traders) who require extensive information technology, research, training, compliance and other systems to conduct their business. The Board, directly and through its Portfolio Committee, regularly reviews investment performance information for the Fund, together with comparative information for appropriate benchmarks and/or peer groups of similarly-managed funds, over different time horizons. The Directors also review detailed performance information during the management agreement approval process. If performance concerns are identified, the Fund receives special reviews until performance improves, during which the Board discusses with the Advisor the reasons for such results (e.g., market conditions, security selection) and any efforts being undertaken to improve performance. The Board found the investment management services provided by the Advisor to the Fund to meet or exceed industry standards. More detailed information about the Fund’s performance can be found in the Performance section of this report.
Shareholder and Other Services. Under the management agreement, the Advisor provides the Fund with a comprehensive package of transfer agency, shareholder, and other services. The Board, directly and through various committees of the Board, regularly reviews reports and evaluations of such services at its regular meetings. These reports include, but are not limited to, information regarding the operational efficiency and accuracy of the shareholder and transfer agency services provided, staffing levels, shareholder satisfaction (as measured by external as well as internal sources), technology support, new products and services offered to Fund shareholders, securities trading activities, portfolio valuation services, auditing services, and legal and operational compliance activities. Certain aspects of shareholder and transfer agency service level efficiency and the quality of securities trading activities are measured by independent third party providers and are presented in comparison to other fund groups not managed by the Advisor. The Board found the services provided by the Advisor to the Fund under the management agreement to be competitive and of high quality.
Costs of Services and Profitability. The Advisor provides detailed information concerning its cost of providing various services to the Fund, its profitability in managing the Fund, its overall profitability, and its financial condition. The Directors have reviewed with the Advisor the methodology used to prepare this financial information. The financial information regarding the Advisor is considered in evaluating the Advisor’s financial condition, its ability to continue to provide services under the management agreement, and the reasonableness of the current management fee. The Board concluded that the Advisor’s profits were reasonable in light of the services provided to the Fund.
Ethics. The Board generally considers the Advisor’s commitment to providing quality services to shareholders and to conducting its business ethically. They noted that the Advisor’s practices generally meet or exceed industry best practices.
Economies of Scale. The Board also reviewed information provided by the Advisor regarding the possible existence of economies of scale in connection with the management of the Fund. The Board concluded that economies of scale are difficult to measure and predict with precision, especially on a fund-by-fund basis. The Board concluded that the Advisor is appropriately sharing economies of scale through its competitive fee structure, offering competitive fees from fund inception, and through reinvestment in its business to provide shareholders additional content and services.
Comparison to Other Funds’ Fees. The management agreement provides that the Fund pay the Advisor a single, all-inclusive (or unified) management fee for providing all services necessary for the management and operation of the Fund, other than brokerage expenses, taxes, interest, extraordinary expenses, and the fees and expenses of the Fund’s independent directors (including their independent legal counsel) and expenses incurred in connection with the provision of shareholder services and distribution services under a plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Under the unified fee structure, the Advisor is responsible for providing all investment advisory, custody, audit, administrative, compliance, recordkeeping, marketing and shareholder services, or arranging and supervising third parties to provide such services. By contrast, most other funds are charged a variety of fees, including an investment advisory fee, a transfer agency fee, an administrative fee, distribution charges and other expenses. Other than their investment advisory fees and any applicable Rule 12b-1 distribution fees, all other components of the total fees charged by these other funds may be increased without shareholder approval. The Board believes the unified fee structure is a benefit to Fund shareholders because it clearly discloses to shareholders the cost of owning Fund shares, and, since the unified fee cannot be increased without a vote of Fund shareholders, it shifts to the Advisor the risk of increased costs of operating the Fund and provides a direct incentive to minimize administrative inefficiencies. Part of the Board’s analysis of fee levels involves reviewing certain evaluative data compiled by an independent provider and comparing the Fund’s unified fee to the total expense ratio of other funds in the Fund’s peer group. The Board concluded that the management fee paid by the Fund to the Advisor under the management agreement is reasonable in light of the services provided to the Fund.
Comparison to Fees and Services Provided to Other Clients of the Advisor. The Board also requested and received information from the Advisor concerning the nature of the services, fees, costs and profitability of its advisory services to advisory clients other than the Fund. They observed that these varying types of client accounts require different services and involve different regulatory and entrepreneurial risks than the management of the Fund. The Board analyzed this information and concluded that the fees charged and services provided to the Fund were reasonable by comparison.
Collateral or “Fall-Out” Benefits Derived by the Advisor. The Board considered the existence of collateral benefits the Advisor may receive as a result of its relationship with the Fund. They concluded that the Advisor’s primary business is managing mutual funds and it generally does not use fund or shareholder information to generate profits in other lines of business, and therefore does not derive any significant collateral benefits from them. The Board noted that the Advisor receives proprietary research from broker-dealers that execute fund portfolio transactions and concluded that this research is likely to benefit Fund shareholders. The Board also determined that the Advisor is able to provide investment management services to certain clients other than the Fund, at least in part, due to its existing infrastructure built to serve the fund complex. The Board concluded, however, that the assets of those other clients are not material to the analysis and, where applicable, may be included with the assets of the Fund to determine breakpoints in the management fee schedule.
Existing Relationship. The Board also considered whether there was any reason for not continuing the existing arrangement with the Advisor. In this regard, the Board was mindful of the potential disruptions of the Fund’s operations and various risks, uncertainties, and other effects that could occur as a result of a decision not to continue such relationship. In particular, the Board recognized that most shareholders have invested in the Fund on the strength of the Advisor’s industry standing and reputation and in the expectation that the Advisor will have a continuing role in providing advisory services to the Fund.
Conclusion of the Directors. As a result of this process, the Board, including all of the independent directors and assisted by the advice of independent legal counsel, taking into account all of the factors discussed above and the information provided by the Advisor and others, concluded that the management agreement between the Fund and the Advisor is fair and reasonable in light of the services provided and should be renewed.
Retirement Account Information
As required by law, distributions you receive from certain IRAs 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.
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.
Distributions you receive from 403(b), 457 and qualified plans are subject to special tax and withholding rules. Your plan administrator or plan sponsor is required to provide you with a special tax notice explaining those rules at the time you request a distribution. If applicable, federal and/or state taxes may be withheld from your distribution amount.

Dear Investor:
Thank you for reviewing this semiannual report for the six months ended September 30, 2013. It provides a macroeconomic and financial market overview (below), followed by fund performance, a schedule of fund investments, and other financial information.
For additional commentary and updated information on fund performance, key factors that affected asset returns, and other insights regarding the investment markets, we encourage you to visit our website, americancentury.com.
Bond Yields and Stock Indices Soared Together Until September
U.S. government bond yields and stock indices traced roughly parallel upward paths during most of the six months ended September 30, 2013. The 10-year U.S. Treasury yield began the period at 1.85%, compressed in large part by the scale of the Federal Reserve’s (the Fed’s) bond-buying program ($85 billion of quantitative easing, or QE, each month).
Hints from the Fed that it might taper QE by year end sent bond yields soaring from early May to early September. The 10-year Treasury yield reached 3.00% on September 5, its first time at that level since July 2011, before finishing the reporting period at 2.61%. Bond yields generally declined in September on weaker-than-expected economic data, the Fed’s announcement that it would delay tapering, and uncertainty caused by the impending partial shutdown of the U.S. government.
Even with the September rally, bonds significantly underperformed stocks for the full reporting period. The 10-year Treasury note and the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (representing the broad taxable U.S. bond market) returned –5.20% and –1.77%, respectively. By contrast, the S&P 500 Index gained 8.31% as the U.S. economy showed signs of attaining sustainable growth, fueled in part by Fed stimulus. Improvements in the housing and job markets helped trigger optimism, though their absolute numbers still fell short of pre-2008 levels.
Full recovery from 2008 remains a distant goal. Economic growth is still subpar compared with past recoveries, hampered further by the fiscal sequester and partial government shutdown. Faced with these challenges, we continue to believe in a disciplined, diversified, long-term investment approach, using professionally managed stock and bond portfolios—as appropriate—for meeting financial goals. We appreciate your continued trust in us in this uncertain environment.
Sincerely,
Jonathan Thomas
President and Chief Executive Officer

Data presented reflect past performance. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance shown. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate, and redemption value may be more or less than original cost. To obtain performance data current to the most recent month end, please call 1-800-345-2021 or visit americancentury.com. As interest rates rise, bond values will decline. International investing involves special risks, such as political instability and currency fluctuations. Investing in emerging markets may accentuate these risks.
Unless otherwise indicated, performance reflects Investor Class shares; performance for other share classes will vary due to differences in fee structure. For information about other share classes available, please consult the prospectus. 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. Returns for the index are provided for comparison.

Fund shareholders may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and redemption/exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service (12b-1) fees; and other fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in your fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing cost of investing in other mutual funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from April 1, 2013 to September 30, 2013.
Actual Expenses
The table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses for each class. You may use the information, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. First, identify the share class you own. Then simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
If you hold Investor Class shares of any American Century Investments fund, or Institutional Class shares of the American Century Diversified Bond Fund, in an American Century Investments account (i.e., not a financial intermediary or retirement plan account), American Century Investments may charge you a $12.50 semiannual account maintenance fee if the value of those shares is less than $10,000. We will redeem shares automatically in one of your accounts to pay the $12.50 fee. In determining your total eligible investment amount, we will include your investments in all personal accounts (including American Century Investments Brokerage accounts) registered under your Social Security number. Personal accounts include individual accounts, joint accounts, UGMA/UTMA accounts, personal trusts, Coverdell Education Savings Accounts and IRAs (including traditional, Roth, Rollover, SEP-, SARSEP- and SIMPLE-IRAs), and certain other retirement accounts. If you have only business, business retirement, employer-sponsored or American Century Investments Brokerage accounts, you are currently not subject to this fee. If you are subject to the Account Maintenance Fee, your account value could be reduced by the fee amount.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The table also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual expense ratio of each class of your fund and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the actual return of a fund’s share class. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption/exchange fees. Therefore, the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

*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 referenced obligations and upfront payments received upon entering into the agreement.
The quoted market prices and resulting market value for credit default swap agreements on credit indices 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 market 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.

SEPTEMBER 30, 2013 (UNAUDITED)
1. Organization
American Century Investment Trust (the trust) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company and is organized as a Massachusetts business trust. Short Duration Fund (the fund) is one fund in a series issued by the trust. The fund is diversified as defined under the 1940 Act. 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, the Institutional Class, the A Class, the C Class, and the R Class. The A Class may incur an initial sales charge. The A Class and C Class may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge. The share classes differ principally in their respective sales charges and distribution and shareholder servicing expenses and arrangements. The Institutional Class is made available to institutional shareholders or through financial intermediaries whose clients do not require the same level of shareholder and administrative services as shareholders of other classes. As a result, the Institutional Class is charged a lower unified management fee.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the fund in preparation of its financial statements. The financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which may require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Investment Valuations — The fund determines the fair value of its investments and computes its net asset value per share as of 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.
Debt securities maturing in greater than 60 days at the time of purchase 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. Debt securities maturing within 60 days at the time of purchase may be valued at cost, plus or minus any amortized discount or premium or at the evaluated mean as provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated mean prices are commonly derived through utilization of market models, which may consider, among other factors, trade data, quotations from dealers and active market makers, relevant yield curve and spread data, related sector levels, creditworthiness, and other relevant market information on the same or comparable securities.
Investments in open-end management investment companies are valued at the reported net asset value per share. Repurchase agreements are valued at cost. Exchange-traded futures contracts are valued at the settlement price as provided by the appropriate clearing corporation. Swap agreements are valued at an evaluated price as provided by independent pricing services or investment dealers. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are valued at the mean of the latest bid and asked prices of the forward currency rates as provided by an independent pricing service.
The value of investments initially expressed in foreign currencies is translated into U.S. dollars at prevailing exchange rates.
If the fund determines that the market price for a portfolio security is not readily available or the valuation methods mentioned above do not reflect a security’s fair value, such security is valued as determined in good faith by the Board of Trustees or its designee, in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. Circumstances that may cause the fund to use these procedures to value a security include, but are not limited to: a security has been declared in default; trading in a security has been halted during the trading day; there is a foreign market holiday and no trading occurred; or an event occurred between the close of a foreign exchange and the NYSE that may affect the value of a security.
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 investments, including, but not limited to, futures contracts, forward commitments, when-issued securities, swap agreements and certain forward foreign currency exchange contracts. 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 margin requirements on futures contracts and swap agreements.
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 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
Management Fees — The trust has entered into a management agreement with ACIM, under which ACIM provides the fund with investment advisory and management services in exchange for a single, unified management fee (the fee) per class. The agreement provides that all expenses of managing and operating the fund, except distribution and service fees, brokerage expenses, taxes, interest, fees and expenses of the independent trustees (including legal counsel fees), and extraordinary expenses, will be paid by ACIM. The fee is computed and accrued daily based on each class’s daily net assets and paid monthly in arrears. The fee consists of (1) an Investment Category Fee based on the daily net assets of the fund and certain other accounts managed by the investment advisor that are in the same broad investment category as the fund and (2) a Complex Fee based on the assets of all the funds in the American Century Investments family of funds. The rates for the Investment Category Fee range from 0.2925% to 0.4100%. The rates for the Complex Fee range from 0.2500% to 0.3100% for the Investor Class, A Class, C Class and R Class. The Institutional Class is 0.2000% less at each point within the Complex Fee range. The effective annual management fee for each class for the six months ended September 30, 2013 was 0.60% for the Investor Class, A Class, C Class and R Class and 0.40% for the Institutional Class.
Distribution and Service Fees — The Board of Trustees has adopted a separate Master Distribution and Individual Shareholder Services Plan for each of the A Class, 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 American Century Investment Services, Inc. (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 six months ended September 30, 2013 are detailed in the Statement of Operations.
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, 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, 5% of the shares of the fund.
4. Investment Transactions
Purchases of investment securities, excluding short-term investments, for the six months ended September 30, 2013 totaled $196,142,884, of which $113,969,091 represented U.S. Treasury and Government Agency obligations.
Sales of investment securities, excluding short-term investments, for the six months ended September 30, 2013 totaled $183,882,766, of which $122,727,950 represented U.S. Treasury and Government Agency obligations.

6. Fair Value Measurements
The fund’s securities valuation process is based on several considerations and may use multiple inputs to determine the fair value of the positions 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 as follows:
• | Level 1 valuation inputs consist of unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical securities; |
• | Level 2 valuation inputs consist of direct or indirect observable market data (including quoted prices for similar securities, evaluations of subsequent market events, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.); or |
• | 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. 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. 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 credit risk derivative instruments held at period end as disclosed on the Schedule of Investments are indicative of the fund’s typical volume during the period.
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 foreign currency transactions and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on translation of assets and liabilities in foreign currencies, 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 foreign currency risk derivative instruments held at period end as disclosed on the Schedule of Investments are indicative of the fund’s typical volume during the period.
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.

8. Risk Factors
There are certain risks involved in investing in foreign securities. These risks include those resulting from future adverse political, social and economic developments, fluctuations in currency exchange rates, the possible imposition of exchange controls, and other foreign laws or restrictions. Investing in emerging markets may accentuate these risks.
9. Federal Tax Information
The book-basis character of distributions made during the year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. These differences reflect the differing character of certain income items and net realized gains and losses for financial statement and tax purposes, and may result in reclassification among certain capital accounts on the financial statements.
As of September 30, 2013, the components of investments for federal income tax purposes were as follows:
| | | |
Federal tax cost of investments | | $504,100,158 | |
Gross tax appreciation of investments | | $3,248,792 | |
Gross tax depreciation of investments | | (1,600,913 | ) |
Net tax appreciation (depreciation) of investments | | $1,647,879 | |
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales.

Approval of Management Agreement |
At a meeting held on June 11, 2013, the Fund’s Board of Directors/Trustees unanimously approved the renewal of the management agreement pursuant to which American Century Investment Management, Inc. (the “Advisor”) acts as the investment advisor for the Fund. Under Section 15(c) of the Investment Company Act, contracts for investment advisory services are required to be reviewed, evaluated, and approved by a majority of a fund’s directors/trustees (the “Directors”), including a majority of the independent Directors each year. The Board regards this annual evaluation and renewal as one of its most important responsibilities.
In connection with their annual review and evaluation, the independent Directors memorialized a statement regarding the relationship between their ongoing obligations to oversee and evaluate the performance of the Advisor and their consideration of renewal of the management agreement. In that statement, the independent Directors noted that their assessment of the Advisor’s performance is an ongoing process that takes place over the entire year and is informed by all of the information that the Board and its committees receive and consider over time. This information, together with the materials provided in connection with the review, are central to the Board’s assessment of the Advisor’s performance and its determination whether to renew the Fund’s management agreement.
Prior to its consideration of the renewal of the management agreement, the Board requested and reviewed extensive data and analysis relating to the proposed renewal. This information and analysis was compiled by the Advisor and certain independent providers of evaluation data concerning the Fund and the services provided to the Fund by the Advisor.
In connection with its consideration of the renewal of the management agreement, the Board’s review and evaluation of the services provided by the Advisor included, but was not limited to, the following:
• | the nature, extent, and quality of investment management, shareholder services, and other services provided by the Advisor to the Fund; |
• | the wide range of other programs and services the Advisor provides to the Fund and its shareholders on a routine and non-routine basis; |
• | the investment performance of the Fund, including data comparing the Fund’s performance to appropriate benchmarks and/or a peer group of other mutual funds with similar investment objectives and strategies; |
• | data comparing the cost of owning the Fund to the cost of owning similar funds; |
• | the Advisor’s compliance policies, procedures, and regulatory experience; |
• | financial data showing the cost of services provided to the Fund, the profitability of the Fund to the Advisor, and the overall profitability of the Advisor; |
| |
• | possible economies of scale associated with the Advisor’s management of the Fund and other accounts under its management; |
• | data comparing services provided and charges to other investment management clients of the Advisor; and |
• | consideration of collateral benefits derived by the Advisor from the management of the Fund. |
In keeping with its practice, the Board held two in-person meetings to review and discuss the information provided. The Board also had the benefit of the advice of its independent counsel throughout the period.
Factors Considered
The Directors considered all of the information provided by the Advisor, the independent data providers, and the Board’s independent counsel in connection with the review, and evaluated such information for the Fund. In connection with their review, the Directors did not identify any single factor as being all-important or controlling and each Director may have attributed different levels of importance to different factors. In deciding to renew the management agreement, the Board based its decision on a number of factors, including the following:
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services — Generally. Under the management agreement, the Advisor is responsible for providing or arranging for all services necessary for the operation of the Fund. The Board noted that under the management agreement, the Advisor provides or arranges at its own expense a wide variety of services including:
• | constructing and designing the Fund |
• | portfolio research and security selection |
• | initial capitalization/funding |
• | daily valuation of the Fund’s portfolio |
• | shareholder servicing and transfer agency, including shareholder confirmations, recordkeeping, and communications |
• | regulatory and portfolio compliance |
• | marketing and distribution |
The Board noted that many of these services have expanded over time both in terms of quantity and complexity in response to shareholder demands, competition in the industry, changing distribution channels, and the changing regulatory environment.
Investment Management Services. The nature of the investment management services provided to the Fund is quite complex and allows Fund shareholders access to professional money management, instant diversification of their investments within an asset class, the opportunity to easily diversify among asset classes by investing in or exchanging among various American Century Investments funds, and liquidity. In evaluating investment performance, the Board expects the Advisor to manage the Fund in accordance with its investment objectives and approved strategies. Further, the Directors recognize that the Advisor has an obligation to seek the best execution of fund trades. In providing these services, the Advisor utilizes teams of investment professionals (portfolio managers, analysts, research assistants, and securities traders) who require extensive information technology, research, training, compliance and other systems to conduct their business. The Board, directly and through its Portfolio Committee, regularly reviews investment performance information for the Fund, together with comparative information for appropriate benchmarks and/or peer groups of similarly-managed funds, over different time horizons. The Directors also review detailed performance information during the management agreement approval process. If performance concerns are identified, the Fund receives special reviews until performance improves, during which the Board discusses with the Advisor the reasons for such results (e.g., market conditions, security selection) and any efforts being undertaken to improve performance. The Board found the investment management services provided by the Advisor to the Fund to meet or exceed industry standards. More detailed information about the Fund’s performance can be found in the Performance section of this report.
Shareholder and Other Services. Under the management agreement, the Advisor provides the Fund with a comprehensive package of transfer agency, shareholder, and other services. The Board, directly and through various committees of the Board, regularly reviews reports and evaluations of such services at its regular meetings. These reports include, but are not limited to, information regarding the operational efficiency and accuracy of the shareholder and transfer agency services provided, staffing levels, shareholder satisfaction (as measured by external as well as internal sources), technology support, new products and services offered to Fund shareholders, securities trading activities, portfolio valuation services, auditing services, and legal and operational compliance activities. Certain aspects of shareholder and transfer agency service level efficiency and the quality of securities trading activities are measured by independent third party providers and are presented in comparison to other fund groups not managed by the Advisor. The Board found the services provided by the Advisor to the Fund under the management agreement to be competitive and of high quality.
Costs of Services and Profitability. The Advisor provides detailed information concerning its cost of providing various services to the Fund, its profitability in managing the Fund, its overall profitability, and its financial condition. The Directors have reviewed with the Advisor the methodology used to prepare this financial information. The financial information regarding the Advisor is considered in evaluating the Advisor’s financial condition, its ability to continue to provide services under the management agreement, and the reasonableness of the current management fee. The Board concluded that the Advisor’s profits were reasonable in light of the services provided to the Fund.
Ethics. The Board generally considers the Advisor’s commitment to providing quality services to shareholders and to conducting its business ethically. They noted that the Advisor’s practices generally meet or exceed industry best practices.
Economies of Scale. The Board also reviewed information provided by the Advisor regarding the possible existence of economies of scale in connection with the management of the Fund. The Board concluded that economies of scale are difficult to measure and predict with precision, especially on a fund-by-fund basis. The Board concluded that the Advisor is appropriately sharing economies of scale through its competitive fee structure, offering competitive fees from fund inception, and through reinvestment in its business to provide shareholders additional content and services.
Comparison to Other Funds’ Fees. The management agreement provides that the Fund pay the Advisor a single, all-inclusive (or unified) management fee for providing all services necessary for the management and operation of the Fund, other than brokerage expenses, taxes, interest, extraordinary expenses, and the fees and expenses of the Fund’s independent directors (including their independent legal counsel) and expenses incurred in connection with the provision of shareholder services and distribution services under a plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Under the unified fee structure, the Advisor is responsible for providing all investment advisory, custody, audit, administrative, compliance, recordkeeping, marketing and shareholder services, or arranging and supervising third parties to provide such services. By contrast, most other funds are charged a variety of fees, including an investment advisory fee, a transfer agency fee, an administrative fee, distribution charges and other expenses. Other than their investment advisory fees and any applicable Rule 12b-1 distribution fees, all other components of the total fees charged by these other funds may be increased without shareholder approval. The Board believes the unified fee structure is a benefit to Fund shareholders because it clearly discloses to shareholders the cost of owning Fund shares, and, since the unified fee cannot be increased without a vote of Fund shareholders, it shifts to the Advisor the risk of increased costs of operating the Fund and provides a direct incentive to minimize administrative inefficiencies. Part of the Board’s analysis of fee levels involves reviewing certain evaluative data compiled by an independent provider and comparing the Fund’s unified fee to the total expense ratio of other funds in the Fund’s peer group. The Board concluded that the management fee paid by the Fund to the Advisor under the management agreement is reasonable in light of the services provided to the Fund.
Comparison to Fees and Services Provided to Other Clients of the Advisor. The Board also requested and received information from the Advisor concerning the nature of the services, fees, costs and profitability of its advisory services to advisory clients other than the Fund. They observed that these varying types of client accounts require different services and involve different regulatory and entrepreneurial risks than the management of the Fund. The Board analyzed this information and concluded that the fees charged and services provided to the Fund were reasonable by comparison.
Collateral or “Fall-Out” Benefits Derived by the Advisor. The Board considered the existence of collateral benefits the Advisor may receive as a result of its relationship with the Fund. They concluded that the Advisor’s primary business is managing mutual funds and it generally does not use fund or shareholder information to generate profits in other lines of business, and therefore does not derive any significant collateral benefits from them. The Board noted that the Advisor receives proprietary research from broker-dealers that execute fund portfolio transactions and concluded that this research is likely to benefit Fund shareholders. The Board also determined that the Advisor is able to provide investment management services to certain clients other than the Fund, at least in part, due to its existing infrastructure built to serve the fund complex. The Board concluded, however, that the assets of those other clients are not material to the analysis and, where applicable, may be included with the assets of the Fund to determine breakpoints in the management fee schedule.
Existing Relationship. The Board also considered whether there was any reason for not continuing the existing arrangement with the Advisor. In this regard, the Board was mindful of the potential disruptions of the Fund’s operations and various risks, uncertainties, and other effects that could occur as a result of a decision not to continue such relationship. In particular, the Board recognized that most shareholders have invested in the Fund on the strength of the Advisor’s industry standing and reputation and in the expectation that the Advisor will have a continuing role in providing advisory services to the Fund.
Conclusion of the Directors. As a result of this process, the Board, including all of the independent directors and assisted by the advice of independent legal counsel, taking into account all of the factors discussed above and the information provided by the Advisor and others, concluded that the management agreement between the Fund and the Advisor is fair and reasonable in light of the services provided and should be renewed.
Retirement Account Information
As required by law, distributions you receive from certain IRAs 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.
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.
Distributions you receive from 403(b), 457 and qualified plans are subject to special tax and withholding rules. Your plan administrator or plan sponsor is required to provide you with a special tax notice explaining those rules at the time you request a distribution. If applicable, federal and/or state taxes may be withheld from your distribution amount.

Dear Investor:
Thank you for reviewing this semiannual report for the six months ended September 30, 2013. It provides a macroeconomic and financial market overview (below), followed by fund performance, a schedule of fund investments, and other financial information.
For additional commentary and updated information on fund performance, key factors that affected asset returns, and other insights regarding the investment markets, we encourage you to visit our website, americancentury.com.
Bond Yields and Stock Indices Soared Together Until September
U.S. government bond yields and stock indices traced roughly parallel upward paths during most of the six months ended September 30, 2013. The 10-year U.S. Treasury yield began the period at 1.85%, compressed in large part by the scale of the Federal Reserve’s (the Fed’s) bond-buying program ($85 billion of quantitative easing, or QE, each month).
Hints from the Fed that it might taper QE by year end sent bond yields soaring from early May to early September. The 10-year Treasury yield reached 3.00% on September 5, its first time at that level since July 2011, before finishing the reporting period at 2.61%. Bond yields generally declined in September on weaker-than-expected economic data, the Fed’s announcement that it would delay tapering, and uncertainty caused by the impending partial shutdown of the U.S. government.
Even with the September rally, bonds significantly underperformed stocks for the full reporting period. The 10-year Treasury note and the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (representing the broad taxable U.S. bond market) returned –5.20% and –1.77%, respectively. By contrast, the S&P 500 Index gained 8.31% as the U.S. economy showed signs of attaining sustainable growth, fueled in part by Fed stimulus. Improvements in the housing and job markets helped trigger optimism, though their absolute numbers still fell short of pre-2008 levels.
Full recovery from 2008 remains a distant goal. Economic growth is still subpar compared with past recoveries, hampered further by the fiscal sequester and partial government shutdown. Faced with these challenges, we continue to believe in a disciplined, diversified, long-term investment approach, using professionally managed stock and bond portfolios—as appropriate—for meeting financial goals. We appreciate your continued trust in us in this uncertain environment.
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 2.25% maximum initial sales charge and may be subject to a maximum CDSC of 1.00%. B Class shares redeemed within six years of purchase are subject to a CDSC that declines from 5.00% during the first year to 0.00% after the sixth year. C Class shares redeemed within 12 months of purchase are 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.
(1) | Total returns for periods less than one year are not annualized. |
(2) | Prior to August 31, 2011, the A Class had a maximum initial sales charge of 4.50%. The maximum initial sales charge is now 2.25%. Performance prior to that date has been adjusted to reflect this change in the initial sales charge. |
(3) | Returns would have been lower if a portion of the management fee had not been waived. |
Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses | | |

0.57% | 0.37% | 0.82% | 1.57% | 1.57% | 1.07% | 0.32% |
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. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate, and redemption value may be more or less than original cost. To obtain performance data current to the most recent month end, please call 1-800-345-2021 or visit americancentury.com. As interest rates rise, bond values will decline.
Unless otherwise indicated, performance reflects Investor Class shares; performance for other share classes will vary due to differences in fee structure. For information about other share classes available, please consult the prospectus. 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. Returns for the index are provided for comparison. The fund’s total returns include operating expenses (such as transaction costs and management fees) that reduce returns, while the total returns of the index do not.
SEPTEMBER 30, 2013 |
Portfolio at a Glance | |
Average Duration (effective) | 2.2 years |
Weighted Average Life | 3.0 years |
| |
Types of Investments in Portfolio | % of net assets |
U.S. Treasury Securities | 78.2% |
Corporate Bonds | 7.9% |
Collateralized Mortgage Obligations | 4.8% |
Municipal Securities | 1.8% |
Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities | 1.6% |
Temporary Cash Investments | 4.8% |
Other Assets and Liabilities | 0.9% |
Fund shareholders may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and redemption/exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service (12b-1) fees; and other fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in your fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing cost of investing in other mutual funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from April 1, 2013 to September 30, 2013 (except as noted).
Actual Expenses
The table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses for each class. You may use the information, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. First, identify the share class you own. Then simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
If you hold Investor Class shares of any American Century Investments fund, or Institutional Class shares of the American Century Diversified Bond Fund, in an American Century Investments account (i.e., not a financial intermediary or retirement plan account), American Century Investments may charge you a $12.50 semiannual account maintenance fee if the value of those shares is less than $10,000. We will redeem shares automatically in one of your accounts to pay the $12.50 fee. In determining your total eligible investment amount, we will include your investments in all personal accounts (including American Century Investments Brokerage accounts) registered under your Social Security number. Personal accounts include individual accounts, joint accounts, UGMA/UTMA accounts, personal trusts, Coverdell Education Savings Accounts and IRAs (including traditional, Roth, Rollover, SEP-, SARSEP- and SIMPLE-IRAs), and certain other retirement accounts. If you have only business, business retirement, employer-sponsored or American Century Investments Brokerage accounts, you are currently not subject to this fee. If you are subject to the Account Maintenance Fee, your account value could be reduced by the fee amount.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The table also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual expense ratio of each class of your fund and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the actual return of a fund’s share class. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption/exchange fees. Therefore, the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

R6 Class | $1,000 | $1,023.46(4) | $1.62(4) | 0.32% |
(1) | Expenses are equal to the class’s annualized expense ratio listed in the table above, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 183, the number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year, divided by 365, to reflect the one-half year period. |
(2) | Ending account value based on actual return from July 26, 2013 (commencement of sale) through September 30, 2013. |
(3) | 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 67, the number of days in the period from July 26, 2013 (commencement of sale) through September 30, 2013, divided by 365, to reflect the period. Had the class been available for the full period, the expenses paid during the period would have been higher. |
(4) | Ending account value and expenses paid during the period assumes the class had been available throughout the entire period and are calculated using the class’s annualized expense ratio listed in the table above. |

*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 referenced obligations and upfront payments received upon entering into the agreement.
The quoted market prices and resulting market value for credit default swap agreements on credit indices 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 market 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.

SEPTEMBER 30, 2013 (UNAUDITED)
1. Organization
American Century Investment Trust (the trust) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company and is organized as a Massachusetts business trust. Short Duration Inflation Protection Bond Fund (the fund) is one fund in a series issued by the trust. The fund is nondiversified as defined under the 1940 Act. 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, the Institutional Class, the A Class, the B Class, the C Class, the R Class and the R6 Class. The A Class may incur an initial sales charge. The A Class, B Class and C Class may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge. The share classes differ principally in their respective sales charges and distribution and shareholder servicing expenses and arrangements. The Institutional Class and R6 Class shareholders do not require the same level of shareholder and administrative services from American Century Investment Management, Inc. (ACIM) (the investment advisor) as shareholders of other classes. In addition, financial intermediaries do not receive any service, distribution or administrative fees for the R6 Class. As a result, the Institutional Class and R6 Class are charged lower unified management fees. Sale of the R6 Class commenced on July 26, 2013.
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 financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which may require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Investment Valuations — The fund determines the fair value of its investments and computes its net asset value per share as of 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.
Debt securities maturing in greater than 60 days at the time of purchase 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. Debt securities maturing within 60 days at the time of purchase may be valued at cost, plus or minus any amortized discount or premium or at the evaluated mean as provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated mean prices are commonly derived through utilization of market models, which may consider, among other factors, trade data, quotations from dealers and active market makers, relevant yield curve and spread data, related sector levels, creditworthiness, and other relevant market information on the same or comparable securities.
Investments in open-end management investment companies are valued at the reported net asset value per share. Exchange-traded futures contracts are valued at the settlement price as provided by the appropriate clearing corporation. Swap agreements are valued at an evaluated price as provided by independent pricing services or investment dealers. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are valued at the mean of the latest bid and asked prices of the forward currency rates as provided by an independent pricing service.
The value of investments initially expressed in foreign currencies is translated into U.S. dollars at prevailing exchange rates.
If the fund determines that the market price for a portfolio security is not readily available or the valuation methods mentioned above do not reflect a security’s fair value, such security is valued as determined in good faith by the Board of Trustees or its designee, in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. Circumstances that may cause the fund to use these procedures to value a security include, but are not limited to: a security has been declared in default; trading in a security has been halted during
the trading day; there is a foreign market holiday and no trading occurred; or an event occurred between the close of a foreign exchange and the NYSE that may affect the value of a security.
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 investments, including, but not limited to, futures contracts, forward commitments, when-issued securities, swap agreements and certain forward foreign currency exchange contracts. 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 margin requirements on futures contracts and swap agreements.
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
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 0.2625% to 0.3800%. The rates for the Complex Fee range from 0.2500% to 0.3100% for the Investor Class, A Class, B Class, C Class and R Class. The rates for the Complex Fee range from 0.0500% to 0.1100% for the Institutional Class and 0.0000% to 0.0600% for the R6 Class. The effective annual management fee for each class for the period ended September 30, 2013 was 0.57% for the Investor Class, A Class, B Class, C Class and R Class, 0.37% for the Institutional Class and 0.32% 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, B 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 American Century Investment Services, Inc. (ACIS) an annual distribution and service fee of 0.25%. The plans provide that the B Class and C Class will each 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 six months ended September 30, 2013 are detailed in the Statement of Operations.
Related Parties — Certain officers and trustees of the trust are also officers and/or directors of American Century Companies, Inc. (ACC).

6. Fair Value Measurements
The fund’s securities valuation process is based on several considerations and may use multiple inputs to determine the fair value of the positions 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 as follows:
• | Level 1 valuation inputs consist of unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical securities; |
• | Level 2 valuation inputs consist of direct or indirect observable market data (including quoted prices for similar securities, evaluations of subsequent market events, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.); or |
• | 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. 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. 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 credit risk derivative instruments held at period end as disclosed on the Schedule of Investments are indicative of the fund’s typical volume during the period.
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 foreign currency transactions and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on translation of assets and liabilities in foreign currencies, 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 foreign currency risk derivative instruments held at period end as disclosed on the Schedule of Investments are indicative of the fund’s typical volume during the period.
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 interest rate risk derivative instruments held at period end as disclosed on the Schedule of Investments are indicative of the fund’s typical volume during the period.
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. 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 other contracts derivative instruments held at period end as disclosed on the Schedule of Investments are indicative of the fund’s typical volume during the period.

8. Federal Tax Information
The book-basis character of distributions made during the year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. These differences reflect the differing character of certain income items and net realized gains and losses for financial statement and tax purposes, and may result in reclassification among certain capital accounts on the financial statements.
As of September 30, 2013, the components of investments for federal income tax purposes were as follows:
| | | |
Federal tax cost of investments | | $872,496,000 | |
Gross tax appreciation of investments | | $8,085,695 | |
Gross tax depreciation of investments | | (6,171,625 | ) |
Net tax appreciation (depreciation) of investments | | $1,914,070 | |
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales.

Approval of Management Agreement |
At a meeting held on June 11, 2013, the Fund’s Board of Directors/Trustees unanimously approved the renewal of the management agreement pursuant to which American Century Investment Management, Inc. (the “Advisor”) acts as the investment advisor for the Fund. Under Section 15(c) of the Investment Company Act, contracts for investment advisory services are required to be reviewed, evaluated, and approved by a majority of a fund’s directors/trustees (the “Directors”), including a majority of the independent Directors each year. The Board regards this annual evaluation and renewal as one of its most important responsibilities.
In connection with their annual review and evaluation, the independent Directors memorialized a statement regarding the relationship between their ongoing obligations to oversee and evaluate the performance of the Advisor and their consideration of renewal of the management agreement. In that statement, the independent Directors noted that their assessment of the Advisor’s performance is an ongoing process that takes place over the entire year and is informed by all of the information that the Board and its committees receive and consider over time. This information, together with the materials provided in connection with the review, are central to the Board’s assessment of the Advisor’s performance and its determination whether to renew the Fund’s management agreement.
Prior to its consideration of the renewal of the management agreement, the Board requested and reviewed extensive data and analysis relating to the proposed renewal. This information and analysis was compiled by the Advisor and certain independent providers of evaluation data concerning the Fund and the services provided to the Fund by the Advisor.
In connection with its consideration of the renewal of the management agreement, the Board’s review and evaluation of the services provided by the Advisor included, but was not limited to, the following:
• | the nature, extent, and quality of investment management, shareholder services, and other services provided by the Advisor to the Fund; |
• | the wide range of other programs and services the Advisor provides to the Fund and its shareholders on a routine and non-routine basis; |
• | the investment performance of the Fund, including data comparing the Fund’s performance to appropriate benchmarks and/or a peer group of other mutual funds with similar investment objectives and strategies; |
• | data comparing the cost of owning the Fund to the cost of owning similar funds; |
• | the Advisor’s compliance policies, procedures, and regulatory experience; |
• | financial data showing the cost of services provided to the Fund, the profitability of the Fund to the Advisor, and the overall profitability of the Advisor; |
• | possible economies of scale associated with the Advisor’s management of the Fund and other accounts under its management; |
• | data comparing services provided and charges to other investment management clients of the Advisor; and |
• | consideration of collateral benefits derived by the Advisor from the management of the Fund. |
In keeping with its practice, the Board held two in-person meetings to review and discuss the information provided. The Board also had the benefit of the advice of its independent counsel throughout the period.
Factors Considered
The Directors considered all of the information provided by the Advisor, the independent data providers, and the Board’s independent counsel in connection with the review, and evaluated such information for the Fund. In connection with their review, the Directors did not identify any single factor as being all-important or controlling and each Director may have attributed different levels of importance to different factors. In deciding to renew the management agreement, the Board based its decision on a number of factors, including the following:
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services - Generally. Under the management agreement, the Advisor is responsible for providing or arranging for all services necessary for the operation of the Fund. The Board noted that under the management agreement, the Advisor provides or arranges at its own expense a wide variety of services including:
• | constructing and designing the Fund |
• | portfolio research and security selection |
• | initial capitalization/funding |
• | daily valuation of the Fund’s portfolio |
• | shareholder servicing and transfer agency, including shareholder confirmations, recordkeeping, and communications |
• | regulatory and portfolio compliance |
• | marketing and distribution |
The Board noted that many of these services have expanded over time both in terms of quantity and complexity in response to shareholder demands, competition in the industry, changing distribution channels, and the changing regulatory environment.
Investment Management Services. The nature of the investment management services provided to the Fund is quite complex and allows Fund shareholders access to professional money management, instant diversification of their investments within an asset class, the opportunity to easily diversify among asset classes by investing in or exchanging among various American Century Investments funds, and liquidity. In evaluating investment performance, the Board expects the Advisor to manage the Fund in accordance with its investment objectives and approved strategies. Further, the Directors recognize that the Advisor has an obligation to seek the best execution of fund trades. In providing these services, the Advisor utilizes teams of investment professionals (portfolio managers, analysts, research assistants, and securities traders) who require extensive information technology, research, training, compliance and other systems to conduct their business. The Board, directly and through its Portfolio Committee, regularly reviews investment performance information for the Fund, together with comparative information for appropriate benchmarks and/or peer groups of similarly-managed funds, over different time horizons. The Directors also review detailed performance information during the management agreement approval process. If performance concerns are identified, the Fund receives special reviews until performance improves, during which the Board discusses with the Advisor the reasons for such results (e.g., market conditions, security selection) and any efforts being undertaken to improve performance. The Board found the investment management services provided by the Advisor to the Fund to meet or exceed industry standards. More detailed information about the Fund’s performance can be found in the Performance section of this report.
Shareholder and Other Services. Under the management agreement, the Advisor provides the Fund with a comprehensive package of transfer agency, shareholder, and other services. The Board, directly and through various committees of the Board, regularly reviews reports and evaluations of such services at its regular meetings. These reports include, but are not limited to, information regarding the operational efficiency and accuracy of the shareholder and transfer agency services provided, staffing levels, shareholder satisfaction (as measured by external as well as internal sources), technology support, new products and services offered to Fund shareholders, securities trading activities, portfolio valuation services, auditing services, and legal and operational compliance activities. Certain aspects of shareholder and transfer agency service level efficiency and the quality of securities trading activities are measured by independent third party providers and are presented in comparison to other fund groups not managed by the Advisor. The Board found the services provided by the Advisor to the Fund under the management agreement to be competitive and of high quality.
Costs of Services and Profitability. The Advisor provides detailed information concerning its cost of providing various services to the Fund, its profitability in managing the Fund, its overall profitability, and its financial condition. The Directors have reviewed with the Advisor the methodology used to prepare this financial information. The financial information regarding the Advisor is considered in evaluating the Advisor’s financial condition, its ability to continue
to provide services under the management agreement, and the reasonableness of the current management fee. The Board concluded that the Advisor’s profits were reasonable in light of the services provided to the Fund.
Ethics. The Board generally considers the Advisor’s commitment to providing quality services to shareholders and to conducting its business ethically. They noted that the Advisor’s practices generally meet or exceed industry best practices.
Economies of Scale. The Board also reviewed information provided by the Advisor regarding the possible existence of economies of scale in connection with the management of the Fund. The Board concluded that economies of scale are difficult to measure and predict with precision, especially on a fund-by-fund basis. The Board concluded that the Advisor is appropriately sharing economies of scale through its competitive fee structure, offering competitive fees from fund inception, and through reinvestment in its business to provide shareholders additional content and services.
Comparison to Other Funds’ Fees. The management agreement provides that the Fund pay the Advisor a single, all-inclusive (or unified) management fee for providing all services necessary for the management and operation of the Fund, other than brokerage expenses, taxes, interest, extraordinary expenses, and the fees and expenses of the Fund’s independent directors (including their independent legal counsel) and expenses incurred in connection with the provision of shareholder services and distribution services under a plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Under the unified fee structure, the Advisor is responsible for providing all investment advisory, custody, audit, administrative, compliance, recordkeeping, marketing and shareholder services, or arranging and supervising third parties to provide such services. By contrast, most other funds are charged a variety of fees, including an investment advisory fee, a transfer agency fee, an administrative fee, distribution charges and other expenses. Other than their investment advisory fees and any applicable Rule 12b-1 distribution fees, all other components of the total fees charged by these other funds may be increased without shareholder approval. The Board believes the unified fee structure is a benefit to Fund shareholders because it clearly discloses to shareholders the cost of owning Fund shares, and, since the unified fee cannot be increased without a vote of Fund shareholders, it shifts to the Advisor the risk of increased costs of operating the Fund and provides a direct incentive to minimize administrative inefficiencies. Part of the Board’s analysis of fee levels involves reviewing certain evaluative data compiled by an independent provider and comparing the Fund’s unified fee to the total expense ratio of other funds in the Fund’s peer group. The Board concluded that the management fee paid by the Fund to the Advisor under the management agreement is reasonable in light of the services provided to the Fund.
Comparison to Fees and Services Provided to Other Clients of the Advisor. The Board also requested and received information from the Advisor concerning the nature of the services, fees, costs and profitability of its advisory services to advisory clients other than the Fund. They observed that these varying types of client accounts require different services and involve different regulatory and entrepreneurial risks than the management of the Fund. The Board analyzed this information and concluded that the fees charged and services provided to the Fund were reasonable by comparison.
Collateral or “Fall-Out” Benefits Derived by the Advisor. The Board considered the existence of collateral benefits the Advisor may receive as a result of its relationship with the Fund. They concluded that the Advisor’s primary business is managing mutual funds and it generally does not use fund or shareholder information to generate profits in other lines of business, and therefore does not derive any significant collateral benefits from them. The Board noted that the Advisor receives proprietary research from broker-dealers that execute fund portfolio transactions and concluded that this research is likely to benefit Fund shareholders. The Board also determined that the Advisor is able to provide investment management services to certain clients other than the Fund, at least in part, due to its existing infrastructure built to serve the fund complex. The Board concluded, however, that the assets of those other clients are not material to the analysis and, where applicable, may be included with the assets of the Fund to determine breakpoints in the management fee schedule.
Existing Relationship. The Board also considered whether there was any reason for not continuing the existing arrangement with the Advisor. In this regard, the Board was mindful of the potential disruptions of the Fund’s operations and various risks, uncertainties, and other effects that could occur as a result of a decision not to continue such relationship. In particular, the Board recognized that most shareholders have invested in the Fund on the strength of the Advisor’s industry standing and reputation and in the expectation that the Advisor will have a continuing role in providing advisory services to the Fund.
Conclusion of the Directors. As a result of this process, the Board, including all of the independent directors and assisted by the advice of independent legal counsel, taking into account all of the factors discussed above and the information provided by the Advisor and others, concluded that the management agreement between the Fund and the Advisor is fair and reasonable in light of the services provided and should be renewed.
Retirement Account Information
As required by law, distributions you receive from certain IRAs 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.
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.
Distributions you receive from 403(b), 457 and qualified plans 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.
