5 Slide 4: What is a Target-Date Fund? A target-date fund is a single mutual fund that is broadly diversified across a mix of other stock, bond and money market mutual funds. The target date in the fund s name represents the approximate date you expect to start withdrawing your money for retirement. The principle value of the investment is not guaranteed at any time, including at the target date. An experienced portfolio team carefully selects the mix of mutual funds within the target-date fund.

In general, as the target year approaches, the portfolio s allocation becomes more conservative by decreasing the allocation to stocks and increasing the allocation to bonds and money market instruments.

7 Slide 6: Why Invest in One Choice Target Date Portfolios It s important to note that target-date mutual funds do not guarantee a return or a steady retirement income stream.

The American Century Investments portfolio team has carefully selected the mix of mutual funds in each One Choice portfolio and will monitor and adjust the investments over time based on their extensive market experience and in-depth research. An investment in a One Choice portfolio may help you combat volatility, the inevitable ups and downs of the market. Each One Choice portfolio invests in up to 15 mutual funds that are managed to respond differently to market conditions. This broad diversification may give you exposure to the stronger performing asset classes while reducing the effect of downturns in others. This may help balance the volatility of the portfolio. With One Choice portfolios, you re putting your money in the hands of an experienced team of investment professionals who actively invest the asset in the portfolio.

8 Slide 8: Who Should Consider a Target-Date Fund? Investing can be a time-intensive and technical process. When thinking about how you prefer to invest, here are some important questions to consider: Do you prefer to conduct your own research on individual stock, bond, money market and alternative funds? Do you feel confident selecting the funds that are right for your retirement portfolio and determining how much to invest in each fund? Do you enjoy closely following the markets? Do you have the time and expertise to closely monitor your retirement portfolio and make adjustments over time? If you answered yes to most of these questions, you re probably a do it yourself investor.

11 Slide 11: Disclosures Disclosures Before investing, carefully consider the fund s investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses. The fund s prospectus or summary prospectus, which can be obtained by visiting americancentury.com, contains this and other information about the fund, and should be read carefully before investing. Call for a prospectus or summary prospectus containing this and other information. Read it carefully. The performance of the portfolios is dependent on the performance of their underlying American Century Investments funds and will assume the risks associated with these funds. The risks will vary according to each portfolio s asset allocation, and a fund with a later target date is expected to be more volatile than one with an earlier target date. The underlying funds do not invest in certain tobacco-related securities. As a result, an underlying fund may forego a profitable investment opportunity or sell a security when it may be a disadvantage to do so. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and fund share value will fluctuate and it is possible to lose money by investing in these funds American Century Proprietary Holdings, Inc. All rights reserved.
