Morningstar Ratings indicate how a fund has performed compared to the other funds in its peer group. *Due to market volatility, performance during this period is negative for this fund. Consult americancentury.com to review current performance information. For each fund with at least a three-year history, Morningstar calculates a Morningstar Rating™ based on a Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Return measure that accounts for variation in a fund’s monthly performance (including the effects of sales charges, loads and redemption fees), placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. The top 10% of funds in each category receive 5 stars, the next 22.5% receive 4 stars, the next 35% receive 3 stars, the next 22.5% receive 2 stars and the bottom 10% receive 1 star. (Each share class is counted as a fraction of one fund within this scale and rated separately, which may cause slight variations in the distribution percentages.) The Overall Morningstar Rating™ for a fund is derived from a weighted average of the performance ﬁgures associated with its three-, ﬁve-and ten-year (if applicable) Morningstar Rating™ metrics. Each fund is exclusively rated against its U.S.-domiciled Morningstar Category. Morningstar Ratings are for the indicated share classes only; other classes may have different performance characteristics. ©2010 Morningstar, Inc. All rights reserved.
