Your retirement plan offers a convenient way to save your future. And with American Century Investments®, you get something just as important: service from people who care.
We're here to put aside stuffy conventions about investing, get to the heart of what you need and help you get where you want to go with:
- A wide range of no-load mutual funds1,2 (no up-front sales charges or commissions)
- Investment guidance at no additional cost
- Personalized service for your retirement needs
Just because we don’t charge commissions or for guidance doesn’t mean you’ll be shortchanged on how we work with you or manage your hard-earned savings.
Whether you’re a do-it-yourselfer or a work-with-me kind of person, you'll find our services fit. And with our no-load funds, you won't pay an up-front fee or commissions for your investment. Plus, we’re just a phone call away at 800-345-3533.
Managing money is personal and starts with focusing on results for you. Our client-first approach began over 65 years ago. Your success is still how we judge ourselves today. But it doesn't stop there.
We have another motivation that's like none other in financial services: support medical research aimed at defeating diseases that touch all of us. Like cancer. And Alzheimer's.
Now, we have two powerful purposes: help clients succeed financially and support life-changing medical research. That's possible because of our uncommon controlling owner, the Stowers Institute for Medical Research. In practice, it means directing 40% of our profits* to help uncover causes, treatments and prevention of devastating illnesses.
Ultimately, it means how we invest matters-not only for you but for the whole world. When you invest with us, you become part of this unique story.
*Dividends to the Stowers Institute have totaled over $2 billion since 2000.
1 A no-load fund is defined as a mutual fund in which shares are sold without a commission or sales charge. Shares are distributed directly by the investment company, instead of going through a secondary party. A load fund charges a commission at the time of the fund’s purchase, at the time of its sale, or as a “level-load” for as long as the investor holds the fund.
2 Both load and no-load funds have an expense ratio, which is the amount (%) of total investment that shareholders pay annually for mutual fund operating expenses and management fees. The expense ratio is taken out of each fund’s current income, is disclosed in the prospectus and can be located on performance tables for each fund.
