Example
The example below is intended to help you compare the costs of investing in the fund with the costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods, that you earn a 5% return each year. The example also assumes that the fund's operating expenses remain the same, except that it reflects the rate and duration of any fee waivers noted in the table above. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:
1 year 3 years 5 years 10 years
Investor Class $46 $145 $252 $567
A Class $72 $224 $390 $871
C Class $123 $382 $660 $1,315
G Class $0 $0 $0 $0
Principal Investment Strategies
The fund is a government money market fund, which means it invests at least 99.5% of its total assets in cash, U.S. government securities, and/or repurchase agreements that are collateralized by government securities or cash. Additionally, the fund has a policy to invest at least 80% of its assets in government securities and/or repurchase agreements collateralized by government securities. Government securities include any securities issued or guaranteed as to principal or interest by the United States and its agencies or instrumentalities. The securities purchased by the fund are subject to the maturity, quality, diversification, and other requirements of Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. Thus, the fund invests its assets in high quality, very short term debt securities.
Because this fund is a government money market fund, both retail and institutional shareholders may invest in the fund. This fund does not have the ability to impose a liquidity fee on the sale of shares or temporarily suspend redemptions in response to decreases in liquidity.
Securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury and certain U.S. government agencies or instrumentalities such as the Government National Mortgage Association (Ginnie Mae), are supported by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government. Securities issued or guaranteed by other U.S. government agencies or instrumentalities, such as the Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae), the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac), Federal Farm Credit Bank (FFCB), and the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) are not guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury or supported by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government. However, they are authorized to borrow from the U.S. Treasury to meet their obligations.
The fund may purchase government securities through buy/sell back transactions. The fund may commit up to 35% of its total assets to such transactions.
The securities in which the fund invests may include adjustable rate securities, such as variable rate demand notes (VRDNs).
Because short-term, U.S. government securities are among the safest securities available, the interest they pay is among the lowest for income-paying securities. Accordingly, the yield on this fund will likely be lower than the yield on funds that invest in longer-term or lower-quality securities.
To determine whether to buy or sell a security, the portfolio managers consider, among other things, various fund requirements and standards, along with economic conditions, alternative investments and interest rates.
Principal Risks
Even though the fund's investments are designed to minimize interest rate, liquidity and credit risk, the fund is still subject to some degree of risk.
•Interest Rate Risk - Interest rate risk means that the value of debt securities and funds that hold them decline as interest rates rise. A sharp and unexpected rise in interest rates could cause the fund's price to drop.
•Liquidity Risk - Changing regulatory or market conditions, including increases in interest rates or credit spreads, may adversely affect the liquidity of the fund's investments. During periods of market turbulence or unusually low trading activity, to meet redemptions, it may be necessary for the fund to sell securities at prices that could have an adverse effect on the fund's share price.
•Credit Risk - Credit risk is the risk that the inability or perceived inability of the issuer to make interest and principal payments will cause the value of the securities to decrease.
•Redemption Risk - The fund may need to sell securities at times it would not otherwise do so to meet shareholder redemption requests. Selling securities to meet such redemptions may cause the fund to experience a loss, increase the fund's transaction costs and/or have tax consequences. To the extent that a large shareholder (including the advisor, another account advised by the advisor, a fund of funds or 529 college savings plan) invests in the fund, the fund may experience relatively large redemptions as such shareholder reallocates its assets.


•Repurchase Agreement Risk - If the seller in a repurchase agreement transaction defaults on its obligation to repurchase a security at a mutually agreed-upon time and price under the agreement, the fund may suffer delays and incur costs or lose money in exercising its rights under the agreement.
You could lose money by investing in the fund. Although the fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it cannot guarantee it will do so. An investment in the fund is not a bank account and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. The fund's sponsor is not required to reimburse the fund for losses, and you should not expect that the sponsor will provide financial support to the fund at any time, including during periods of market stress.
Fund Performance
The following bar chart and table provide some indication of the risks of investing in the fund. The bar chart shows changes in the fund's performance from year to year for Investor Class shares. The fund's past performance is not necessarily an indication of how the fund will perform in the future. On December 1, 2015, the fund changed its investment objective and strategy so that it would qualify as a government money market fund, as that term is defined in Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act. Performance for periods before December 1, 2015 is based on the fund's prior investment strategy. Because the G Class does not have investment performance for a full calendar year, it is not included. For current performance information, including yields, please visit americancentury.com.
Sales charges and account fees, if applicable, are not reflected in the bar chart. If those charges were included, returns would be less than those shown.

Broker-dealer sponsored wrap program accounts, fee based accounts, and employer-sponsored retirement plan accounts do not have a minimum purchase amount.
There is no minimum initial investment amount for certain employer-sponsored retirement plans, however, financial intermediaries or plan recordkeepers may require plans to meet different minimums.
There is a $50 minimum for subsequent purchases, except that there is no subsequent purchase minimum for financial intermediaries or employer-sponsored retirement plans.
G Class shares are available for purchase by other funds offered by American Century Investments for which it charges a management fee. In its sole discretion, American Century Investments may also make G Class shares available for purchase by other institutional clients for which American Century Investments provides investment management services for a fee pursuant to an investment advisory agreement. Currently, eligible clients are limited to commingled investment trusts or other pooled investment vehicles that utilize a target date or other asset allocation investment strategy for which American Century Investments provides asset allocation or glide path investment management services for a fee. G Class shares do not have a minimum purchase amount.
Tax Information
Fund distributions are generally taxable as ordinary income or capital gains, unless you are investing through a tax-deferred account such as a 401(k) or individual retirement account (in which case you may be taxed upon withdrawal of your investment from such account).
Payments to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries
If you purchase the fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank, insurance company, plan sponsor or financial professional), the fund and its related companies may pay the intermediary for the sale of fund shares and related services for investments in all classes except the G Class. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other intermediary and your salesperson to recommend the fund over another investment. Ask your salesperson or visit your financial intermediary's website for more information.
