Risk-Managed Investing for Retirement. One Choice® Target Date Portfolios are target-date funds designed to help investors build toward the retirement they envision, while reducing the chances their money will run short.
Seeks the highest total return consistent with its asset mix.
One Choice Target Date Portfolios aim to help investors stay on course even as economic and market conditions change. The portfolios' asset allocation glide path is designed to navigate the trade-off between market risk and the risk of running out of money in retirement.
The portfolios' broad asset class coverage expands the sources of return potential. This includes exposure to specialty assets with low correlation to the broad stock and bond markets. While diversification does not insure against a loss, it may help reduce downside risk.
The actively managed funds that comprise One Choice Target Date Portfolios have long track records. The funds' veteran managers seek to add value through security selection that's supported by thorough, independent research.
The value and/or returns of a portfolio will fluctuate with market and economic conditions. The fund is subject to the risks of the underlying funds in which it may invest. International investing involves special risks such as political instability and currency fluctuations. Investing in fixed income securities entails interest rate, credit and price risks. When interest rates rise, bond prices generally fall and increase when interest rates fall. Historically, small-cap stocks have been more volatile than the stocks of larger, more established companies.
Our diversified target-date funds automatically adjust as their target goal date approaches. Choose which of the 10 target-date funds most closely aligns with when you plan to start using your money. A One Choice Target Date Portfolio's target date is the approximate year when investors plan to retire or start withdrawing their money. The principal value of the investment is not guaranteed at any time, including at the target date.

Each target-date One Choice Target Date Portfolio seeks the highest total return consistent with American Century Investments' proprietary asset mix. Over time, the asset mix and weightings are adjusted to be more conservative. 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 cash equivalents.
Extraordinary performance is attributable in part to unusually favorable market conditions and may not be repeated or consistently achieved in the future.

The value and/or returns of a portfolio will fluctuate with market and economic conditions.
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.
International investing involves special risks, such as political instability and currency fluctuations.
Investing in fixed income securities entails interest rate, credit and price risks.
Historically, small- and/or mid-cap stocks have been more volatile than the stock of larger, more-established companies. Smaller companies may have limited resources, product lines and markets, and their securities may trade less frequently and in more limited volumes than the securities of larger companies.
Generally, as interest rates rise, the value of the securities held in the fund will decline. The opposite is true when interest rates decline.
The gross expense ratio is the fund's total annual operating costs, expressed as a percentage of the fund's average net assets for a given time period. It is gross of any fee waivers or expense reimbursement. The net expense ratio is the expense ratio after the application of any waivers or reimbursement. This is the actual ratio that investors paid during the fund's most recent fiscal year. Please see the prospectus for more information.
W2 Minimum initial investment is $1,000 for IRA and CESA accounts, and $2,500 for non-retirement accounts, but these minimums are waived with an initial investment of at least $500 per account and automatic investments of at least $100 per month.

Prior to doing so, we will notify you and give you 90 days to meet the minimum or reinstate your automatic monthly investment plan.
