LIMITED-TERM TAX-FREE FUND

1. WHAT IS THE FUND'S INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE?

    Limited-Term Tax-Free seeks safety of principal and high current income that
    is exempt from federal income tax.

2. WHAT IS THE FUND'S INVESTMENT STRATEGY?

    The fund managers buy short-term, quality debt securities with income
    payments exempt from federal income tax. Cities, counties and other
    municipalities in the 50 states and U.S. territories usually issue these
    securities for public projects, such as schools and roads.

    The fund managers also may buy short-term, quality debt securities with
    income payments exempt from regular federal income tax, but are not exempt
    from the federal alternative minimum tax. Cities, counties and other
    municipalities usually issue these securities (called private activity
    bonds) to fund for-profit private projects, such as hospitals and athletic
    stadiums. No more than 20% of the fund's total assets may be invested in
    these securities.

    In the event of exceptional market or economic conditions, the fund may, as
    a temporary defensive measure, invest all or a substantial portion of its
    assets in cash or cash-equivalent securities. To the extent the fund assumes
    a defensive position, it will not be pursuing its investment objectives and
    may generate taxable income.

    The weighted average maturity of the fund is expected to be five years or
    less.

    Additional information about Limited-Term Tax-Free's investments is
    available in its annual and semiannual reports. In these reports you will
    find a discussion of the market conditions and investment strategies that
    significantly affected the fund's performance during the most recent fiscal
    period. You may get these reports at no cost by calling us.

3. WHAT ARE THE SIGNIFICANT RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE FUND?

    * When interest rates change, the fund's share value will be affected.
    Generally, when interest rates rise, the fund's share value will decline.
    The opposite is true when interest rates decline. This interest rate risk is
    higher for Limited-Term Tax-Free than for funds that have shorter weighted
    average maturities, such as money market funds.

    * The fund may invest in securities rated in the lowest investment-grade
    category (for example, Baa or BBB). The issuers of these securities are more
    likely to pose a credit risk, that is, to have problems making interest and
    principal payments.

    * Some of the fund's income may be subject to the federal alternative
    minimum tax.

    * Because the fund invests primarily in municipal securities, it will be
    sensitive to events that affect municipal markets. Limited-Term Tax-Free may
    have a higher level of risk than funds that invest in a larger universe of
    securities.

    * As with all funds, your shares may be worth more or less at any given time
    than the price you paid for them. If you sell your shares when the value is
    less than the price you paid, you will lose money.

    * An investment in the fund is not a bank deposit, and it is not insured or
    guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) or any other
    government agency.

    In summary, Limited-Term Tax-Free is intended for investors who seek safety
    of principal and high current income that is exempt from federal income tax
    through a municipal securities fund and who are willing to accept the risks
    associated with the fund's investment strategy.

4. WHAT ARE THE FUND'S FEES AND EXPENSES?

    There are no sales loads, fees or other charges

    * to buy fund shares directly from American Century

    * to reinvest dividends in additional shares

    * to exchange into the Investor Class shares of other American Century fund

    * to redeem your shares

    The following table describes the fees and expenses that you will pay if you
    buy and hold shares of the fund.


    ANNUAL FUND OPERATING EXPENSES
     (EXPENSES THAT ARE DEDUCTED FROM FUND ASSETS)

      Management Fee                                        0.51%(1)
      Distribution and Service (12b-1) Fees                 None
      Other Expenses                                        0.01%(2)
      Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses                  0.52%


        (1) Based on expenses incurred during the fund's most recent fiscal
            year. The fund has a stepped fee schedule. As a result, the fund's
            management fee rate generally decreases as fund assets increase.

        (2) Other expenses include the fees and expenses of the fund's
            independent trustees, their legal counsel and interest.

           EXAMPLE
             Assuming you . . .
             * invest $10,000 in the fund
             * redeem all of your shares at the end of the periods shown below
             * earn a 5% return each year
             * incur the same operating expenses as shown above

             . . . your cost of investing in the fund would be:

                         1 year       3 years      5 years      10 years
                          $53          $167         $290          $652

            Of course, actual costs may be higher or lower. Use this example to
            compare the costs of investing in other funds.

    financial intermediary. If you have questions about investing in an
    employer-sponsored retirement plan or through a financial intermediary, call
    a Service Representative at 1-800-345-3533.

TAX-FREE MONEY MARKET FUND

1. WHAT IS THE FUND'S INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE?

    Tax-Free Money Market seeks safety of principal and high current income that
    is exempt from federal income tax.

2. WHAT IS THE FUND'S INVESTMENT STRATEGY?

    The fund managers buy cash-equivalent, high-quality debt securities with
    income payments exempt from federal income tax. Cities, counties and other
    municipalities in the 50 states and U.S. territories usually issue these
    securities for public projects, such as schools and roads.

    The fund managers also may buy cash-equivalent, high-quality debt securities
    with income payments exempt from regular federal income tax, but are not
    exempt from the federal alternative minimum tax. Cities, counties and other
    municipalities usually issue these securities (called private activity
    bonds) to fund for-profit private projects, such as hospitals and athletic
    stadiums. No more than 20% of the fund's total assets may be invested in
    these securities.

    Additional information about Tax-Free Money Market's investments is

    find a discussion of the market conditions and investment strategies that
    significantly affected the fund's performance during the most recent fiscal
    period. You may get these reports at no cost by calling us.

3. WHAT ARE THE SIGNIFICANT RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE FUND?

    * An investment in the fund is not a bank deposit, and it is not insured or
    guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) or any other
    government agency. Although the fund seeks to preserve the value of your
    investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in
    the fund.

    * Because cash-equivalent 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
    funds that invest in longer-term or lower-quality securities.

    * Some of the fund's income may be subject to the federal alternative
    minimum tax.

    * Because the fund invests primarily in municipal securities, it will be
    sensitive to events that affect municipal markets. Tax-Free Money Market may
    have a higher level of risk than funds that invest in a larger universe of
    securities.

TAX-FREE MONEY MARKET FUND

1. WHAT IS THE FUND'S INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE?

    Tax-Free Money Market seeks safety of principal and high current income that
    is exempt from federal income tax.

2. WHAT IS THE FUND'S INVESTMENT STRATEGY?

    The fund managers buy cash-equivalent, high-quality debt securities with
    income payments exempt from federal income tax. Cities, counties and other
    municipalities in the 50 states and U.S. territories usually issue these
    securities for public projects, such as schools and roads.

    The fund managers also may buy cash-equivalent, high-quality debt securities
    with income payments exempt from regular federal income tax, but are not
    exempt from the federal alternative minimum tax. Cities, counties and other
    municipalities usually issue these securities (called private activity
    bonds) to fund for-profit private projects, such as hospitals and athletic
    stadiums. No more than 20% of the fund's total assets may be invested in
    these securities.

    Additional information about Tax-Free Money Market's investments is
    available in its annual and semiannual reports. In these reports you will
    find a discussion of the market conditions and investment strategies that
    significantly affected the fund's performance during the most recent fiscal
    period. You may get these reports at no cost by calling us.

3. WHAT ARE THE SIGNIFICANT RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE FUND?

    * An investment in the fund is not a bank deposit, and it is not insured or
    guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) or any other
    government agency. Although the fund seeks to preserve the value of your
    investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in
    the fund.

    * Because cash-equivalent 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
    funds that invest in longer-term or lower-quality securities.

    * Some of the fund's income may be subject to the federal alternative
    minimum tax.

    * Because the fund invests primarily in municipal securities, it will be
    sensitive to events that affect municipal markets. Tax-Free Money Market may
    have a higher level of risk than funds that invest in a larger universe of
    securities.

    The following table describes the fees and expenses that you will pay if you

            * redeem all of your shares at the end of the periods shown below
            * earn a 5% return each year
            * incur the same operating expenses as shown above

             . . . your cost of investing in the fund would be:

                    $51         $160        $279         $627

                  Of course, actual costs may be higher or lower. Use this

HIGH-YIELD MUNICIPAL FUND

1. WHAT IS THE FUND'S INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE?

    High-Yield Municipal seeks high current income that is exempt from federal
    income tax. Capital appreciation is a secondary objective.

2. WHAT IS THE FUND'S INVESTMENT STRATEGY?

    The fund managers buy long- and intermediate-term debt securities with
    income payments exempt from federal income tax. Cities, counties and other
    municipalities in the 50 states and U.S. territories usually issue these
    securities for public projects, such as schools and roads.

    The fund managers also may buy long- and intermediate-term debt securities
    with income payments exempt from regular federal income tax, but are not
    exempt from the federal alternative minimum tax. Cities, counties and other
    municipalities usually issue these securities (called private activity
    bonds) to fund for-profit private projects, such as hospitals and athletic
    stadiums.

    The fund managers buy securities that are considered below investment grade,
    including so-called junk bonds. Issuers of these securities often have short
    financial histories or have questionable credit.

    In the event of exceptional market or economic conditions, the fund may, as
    a temporary defensive measure, invest all or a substantial portion of its
    assets in cash or cash-equivalent securities. To the extent the fund assumes
    a defensive position, it will not be pursing its investment objectives and
    may generate taxable income.

    The weighted average maturity of the fund is expected to be 10 years or
    longer.

    Additional information about High-Yield Municipal's investments is available
    in its annual and semiannual reports. In these reports you will find a
    discussion of the market conditions and investment strategies that
    significantly affected the fund's performance during the most recent fiscal
    period. You may get these reports at no cost by calling us.

3. WHAT ARE THE SIGNIFICANT RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE FUND?

    * When interest rates change, the fund's share value will be affected.
    Generally, when interest rates rise, the fund's share value will decline.
    The opposite is true when interest rates decline. The interest rate risk is
    higher for High-Yield Municipal than for funds that have shorter weighted
    average maturities, such as money market, short-term and intermediate-term
    bond funds.

    * The fund may invest in securities rated below investment grade, including
    bonds that are in technical or monetary default. By definition, the issuers
    of many of these securities have had and may continue to have problems
    making interest and principal payments.

    * Some or all of the fund's income may be subject to the  federal
    alternative minimum tax.

    * Because the fund invests primarily in municipal securities, it will be
    sensitive to events that affect municipal markets. High-Yield Municipal may
    have a higher level of risk than funds that invest in a larger universe of
    securities.

    * As with all funds, your shares may be worth more or less at any given time
    than the price you paid for them. If you sell your shares when the value is
    less than the price you paid, you will lose money.

    * An investment in the fund is not a bank deposit, and it is not insured or
    guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) or any other
    government agency.

    In summary, High-Yield Municipal is intended for investors who seek high
    current income that is exempt from federal income tax through a municipal
    securities fund and who are willing to accept the risks associated with the
    fund's investment strategy.

4. WHAT ARE THE FUND'S FEES AND EXPENSES?

    There are no sales loads, fees or other charges

    * to buy fund shares directly from American Century

    * to reinvest dividends in additional shares

    * to exchange into the Investor Class shares of other American Century fund

    * to redeem your shares

    The following table describes the fees and expenses that you will pay if you
    buy and hold shares of the fund.

     ANNUAL FUND OPERATING EXPENSES
       (EXPENSES THAT ARE DEDUCTED FROM FUND ASSETS)

         Management Fee                               0.64%(1)
         Distribution and Service (12b-1) Fees        None
         Other Expenses                               0.01%(2)
         Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses         0.65%(3)

        (1) Based on expenses incurred during the fund's most recent fiscal
            year. The fund has a stepped fee schedule. As a result, the fund's
            management fee rate generally decreases as fund assets increase.

        (2) Other expenses include the fees and expenses of the fund's
            independent trustees, their legal counsel and interest.

        (3) The advisor waived all expenses of High-Yield Municipal through
            April 30, 1999. The fee is shown without the effect of the fee
            waiver.

           EXAMPLE

             Assuming you . . .
             * invest $10,000 in the fund
             * redeem all of your shares at the end of the periods shown below
             * earn a 5% return each year
             * incur the same operating expenses as shown above
             . . . your cost of investing in the fund would be:

               1 year          3 years         5 years           10 years

                $66             $208            $362               $809

             Of course, actual costs may be higher or lower. Use this example to
             compare the costs of investing in other funds.

5. WHO ARE THE FUND'S INVESTMENT ADVISOR AND PORTFOLIO MANAGERS?

    American Century Investment Management, Inc. provides investment advisory
    and management services for the fund. American Century uses teams of
    portfolio managers, assistant portfolio managers and analysts working
    together to manage its mutual funds. Identified below is the portfolio
    manager who leads the team that manages High-Yield Municipal:

    bachelor's degrees in business and geography from State University of New
    York - Oneonta and an MBA in finance from Golden Gate University - San
    Francisco.

6. HOW DO I BUY FUND SHARES?

    American Century offers several ways to purchase shares

    * Complete and return an application along with an investment check payable
    to American Century Investments

    * If you already have an American Century account, call us or access our Web
    site to exchange shares from another American Century fund

    * Call us and send your investment by bank wire transfer

    Your initial investment must be at least $5,000. If your redemption activity
    causes the value of your account to fall below this account minimum, your
    shares may be redeemed involuntarily.

7. HOW DO I SELL FUND SHARES?

    You may sell all or part of your fund shares on any business day by writing
    or calling us. You also may exchange your shares in High-Yield Municipal for
    shares in nearly 70 other mutual funds offered by American Century.
    Depending on the options you select when you open your account, some
    restrictions may apply. For your protection, some redemption requests
    require a signature guarantee.

8. HOW ARE FUND DISTRIBUTIONS MADE AND TAXED?

ARIZONA INTERMEDIATE-TERM MUNICIPAL FUND

1. WHAT IS THE FUND'S INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE?

    Arizona Intermediate-Term Municipal seeks safety of principal and high
    current income that is exempt from federal and Arizona income taxes.

2. WHAT IS THE FUND'S INVESTMENT STRATEGY?

    The fund managers buy intermediate-term, quality debt securities with income
    payments exempt from federal and Arizona income taxes. Cities, counties and
    other municipalities in Arizona usually issue these securities for public
    projects, such as schools and roads.

    The fund managers also may buy intermediate-term, quality debt securities
    with income payments exempt from federal and Arizona income taxes, but are
    not exempt from the federal alternative minimum tax. Cities, counties and
    other municipalities in Arizona usually issue these securities (called
    private activity bonds) to fund for-profit private projects, such as
    hospitals and athletic stadiums.

    The fund managers also may use futures contracts and options to pursue the
    fund's investment objectives.

    In the event of exceptional market or economic conditions, the fund may, as
    a temporary defensive measure, invest all or a substantial portion of its
    assets in cash or cash-equivalent securities. To the extent the fund assumes
    a defensive position, it will not be pursuing its investment objectives and
    may generate taxable income.

    The weighted average maturity of the fund is expected to be between five and
    10 years.

    Additional information about Arizona Intermediate-Term Municipal's
    investments is available in its annual and semi-annual reports. In these
    reports you will find a discussion of the market conditions and investment
    strategies that significantly affected the fund's performance during the
    most recent fiscal period. You may get these reports at no cost by calling
    us.

3. WHAT ARE THE SIGNIFICANT RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE FUND?

    * When interest rates change, the fund's share value will be affected.
    Generally, when interest rates rise, the fund's share value will decline.
    The opposite is true when interest rates decline. The interest rate risk for
    Arizona Intermediate-Term Municipal is higher than for funds which have
    shorter weighted average maturities, such as money market and short-term
    bond funds.

    * The fund may invest in securities rated in the lowest investment-grade
    category (for example, Baa or BBB). The issuers of these securities are more
    likely to pose a credit risk, that is, to have problems making interest and
    principal payments.

    * Some or all of the fund's income may be subject to the federal alternative
    minimum tax.

    * Because the fund invests primarily in Arizona municipal securities, it
    will be sensitive to events that affect Arizona's economy. Arizona
    Intermediate-Term Municipal may have a higher level of risk than funds that
    invest in a larger universe of securities.

    * As with all funds, your shares may be worth more or less at any given time
    than the price you paid for them. If you sell your shares when the value is
    less than the price you paid, you will lose money.

    * An investment in the fund is not a bank deposit, and it is not insured or
    guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) or any other
    government agency.

    In summary, Arizona Intermediate-Term Municipal is intended for investors
    who seek safety of principal and high current income that is exempt from
    federal and Arizona income taxes through a municipal securities fund, and
    who are willing to accept the risks associated with the fund's investment
    strategy.

    Information contained in the services guide pertains to shareholders who
    invest directly with American Century rather than through an

    If you own or are considering purchasing fund shares through an
    employer-sponsored retirement plan or financial intermediary, your ability
    to purchase shares of the fund, exchange them for shares of other American
    Century funds, and redeem them will depend on the terms of your plan or
    financial intermediary. If you have questions about investing in an
    employer-sponsored retirement plan or through a financial intermediary, call
    a Service Representative at 1-800-345-3533.

FLORIDA INTERMEDIATE-TERM MUNICIPAL FUND

1. WHAT IS THE FUND'S INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE?

    Florida Intermediate-Term Municipal seeks safety of principal and high
    current income that is exempt from federal income tax and seeks to be exempt
    from the Florida intangible personal property tax.

2. WHAT IS THE FUND'S INVESTMENT STRATEGY?

    The fund managers buy intermediate-term, quality debt securities with income
    payments exempt from federal income tax and which are exempt from the
    Florida intangible personal property tax. Cities, counties and other
    municipalities in Florida usually issue these securities for public
    projects, such as schools and roads.

    The fund managers also may buy intermediate-term, quality debt securities
    with income payments exempt from federal income tax and which are exempt
    from the Florida intangible personal property tax, but are not exempt from
    the federal alternative minimum tax. Cities, counties and other
    municipalities in Florida usually issue these securities (called private
    activity bonds) to fund for-profit private projects, such as hospitals and
    athletic stadiums.

    The fund managers also may use futures contracts and options to pursue the
    fund's investment objectives.

    In the event of exceptional market or economic conditions, the fund may, as
    a temporary defensive measure, invest all or a substantial portion of its
    assets in cash or cash-equivalent securities. To the extent the fund assumes
    a defensive position, it will not be pursuing its investment objectives and
    may generate taxable income.

    The weighted average maturity of the fund is expected to be between five and
    10 years.

    Additional information about Florida Intermediate-Term Municipal's
    investments is available in its annual and semiannual reports. In these
    reports you will find a discussion of the market conditions and investment
    strategies that significantly affected the fund's performance during the
    most recent fiscal period. You may get these reports at no cost by calling
    us.

3. WHAT ARE THE SIGNIFICANT RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE FUND?

    * When interest rates change, the fund's share value will be affected.
    Generally, when interest rates rise, the fund's share value will decline.
    The opposite is true when interest rates decline. The interest rate risk for
    Florida Intermediate-Term Municipal is higher than for funds that have
    shorter weighted average maturities, such as money market and short-term
    bond funds.

    * The fund may invest in securities rated in the lowest investment-grade
    category (for example, Baa or BBB). The issuers of these securities are more
    likely to pose a credit risk, that is, to have problems making interest and
    principal payments.

    * Some or all of the fund's income may be subject to the federal alternative
    minimum tax.

    * Because the fund invests primarily in Florida municipal securities, it
    will be sensitive to events that affect Florida's economy. Florida
    Intermediate-Term Municipal may have a higher level of risk than funds that
    invest in a larger universe of securities.

    * As with all funds, your shares may be worth more or less at any given time
    than the price you paid for them. If you sell your shares when the value is
    less than the price you paid, you will lose money.

    * An investment in the fund is not a bank deposit, and it is not insured or
    guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) or any other
    government agency.

    In summary, Florida Intermediate-Term Municipal is intended for investors
    who seek safety of principal and high current income that is exempt from
    federal income tax and the Florida intangible personal property tax through
    a municipal securities fund, and who are willing to accept the risks
    associated with the fund's investment strategy.

        (2) Other expenses include the fees and expenses of the fund's
            independent trustees, their legal counsel and interest.

             * redeem all of your shares at the end of the periods shown below
             * earn a 5% return each year
             * incur the same operating expenses as shown above

             . . . your cost of investing in the fund would be:

                      1 year          3 years         5 years         10 years

1. WHAT IS THE FUND'S INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE?

    Intermediate-Term Tax-Free seeks safety of principal and high current income
    that is exempt from federal income tax.

2. WHAT IS THE FUND'S INVESTMENT STRATEGY?

    The fund managers buy intermediate-term, quality debt securities with income
    payments exempt from federal income tax. Cities, counties and other
    municipalities in the 50 states and U.S. territories usually issue these
    securities for public projects, such as schools and roads.

    The fund managers also may buy intermediate-term, quality debt securities
    with income payments exempt from regular federal income tax, but are not
    exempt from the federal alternative minimum tax. Cities, counties and other
    municipalities usually issue these securities (called private activity
    bonds) to fund for-profit private projects, such as hospitals and athletic
    stadiums. No more than 20% of the fund's total assets may be invested in
    these securities.

    In the event of exceptional market or economic conditions, the fund may, as
    a temporary defensive measure, invest all or a substantial portion of its
    assets in cash or cash-equivalent securities. To the extent the fund assumes
    a defensive position, it will not be pursuing its investment objectives and
    may generate taxable income.

    The weighted average maturity of the fund is expected to be between five and
    10 years.

    Additional information about Intermediate-Term Tax-Free's investments is
    available in its annual and semiannual reports. In these reports you will
    find a discussion of the market conditions and investment strategies that
    significantly affected the fund's performance during the most recent fiscal
    period. You may get these reports at no cost by calling us.

3. WHAT ARE THE SIGNIFICANT RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE FUND?

    * When interest rates change, the fund's share value will be affected.
    Generally, when interest rates rise, the fund's share value will decline.
    The opposite is true when interest rates decline. This interest rate risk is
    higher for Intermediate-Term Tax-Free than for funds that have shorter
    weighted average maturities, such as money market and short-term bond funds.

    * The fund may invest in securities rated in the lowest investment-grade
    category (for example, Baa or BBB). The issuers of these securities are more
    likely to pose a credit risk, that is, to have problems making interest and
    principal payments.

    * Some of the fund's income may be subject to the federal alternative
    minimum tax.

    * Because the fund invests primarily in municipal securities, it will be
    sensitive to events that affect municipal markets. Intermediate-Term
    Tax-Free may have a higher level of risk than funds that invest in a larger
    universe of securities.

    * As with all funds, your shares may be worth more or less at any given time
    than the price you paid for them. If you sell your shares when the value is
    less than the price you paid, you will lose money.

    * An investment in the fund is not a bank deposit, and it is not insured or
    guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) or any other

    In summary, Intermediate-Term Tax-Free is intended for investors who seek

    income tax through a municipal securities fund and who are willing to accept
    the risks associated with the fund's investment strategy.

                     1 year         3 years         5 years         10 years

                      $53            $167            $290             $652

7. HOW DO I SELL FUND SHARES?

    You may sell all or part of your fund shares on any business day by writing

    Century funds, and redeem them will depend on the terms of your plan or
    financial intermediary. If you have questions about investing in an
    employer-sponsored retirement plan or through a financial intermediary, call

LONG-TERM TAX-FREE FUND

1. WHAT IS THE FUND'S INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE?

    Long-Term Tax-Free seeks safety of principal and high current income that is
    exempt from federal income tax.

2. WHAT IS THE FUND'S INVESTMENT STRATEGY?

    The fund managers buy long-term, quality debt securities with income
    payments exempt from federal income tax. Cities, counties and other
    municipalities in the 50 states and U.S. territories usually issue these
    securities for public projects, such as schools and roads.

    The fund managers also may buy long-term, quality debt securities with
    income payments exempt from regular federal income tax, but are not exempt
    from the federal alternative minimum tax. Cities, counties and other
    municipalities usually issue these securities (called private activity
    bonds) to fund for-profit private projects, such as hospitals and athletic
    stadiums. No more than 20% of the fund's total assets may be invested in
    these securities.

    In the event of exceptional market or economic conditions, the fund may, as
    a temporary defensive measure, invest all or a substantial portion of its
    assets in cash or cash-equivalent securities. To the extent the fund assumes
    a defensive position, it will not be pursuing its investment objectives and
    may generate taxable income.

    The weighted average maturity of the fund is expected to be 10 years or
    longer.

    Additional information about Long-Term Tax-Free's investments is available
    in its annual and semiannual reports. In these reports you will find a
    discussion of the market conditions and investment strategies that
    significantly affected the fund's performance during the most recent fiscal
    period. You may get these reports at no cost by calling us.

3. WHAT ARE THE SIGNIFICANT RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE FUND?

    * When interest rates change, the fund's share value will be affected.
    Generally, when interest rates rise, the fund's share value will decline.
    The opposite is true when interest rates decline. This interest rate risk is
    higher for Long-Term Tax-Free than for funds that have shorter weighted
    average maturities, such as money market, short-term and intermediate-term
    bond funds.

    * The fund may invest in securities rated in the lowest investment-grade
    category (for example, Baa or BBB). The issuers of these securities are more
    likely to pose a credit risk, that it, to have problems making interest and
    principal payments.

    * Some of the fund's income may be subject to the federal alternative
    minimum tax.

    * Because the fund invests primarily in municipal securities, it will be
    sensitive to events that affect municipal markets. Long-Term Tax-Free may
    have a higher level of risk than funds that invest in a larger universe of
    securities.

    * As with all funds, your shares may be worth more or less at any given time
    than the price you paid for them. If you sell your shares when the value is
    less than the price you paid, you will lose money.

    * An investment in the fund is not a bank deposit, and it is not insured or
    guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) or any other
    government agency.

    In summary, Long-Term Tax-Free is intended for investors who seek safety of
    principal and high current income that is exempt from federal income tax
    through a municipal securities fund and who are willing to accept the risks
    associated with the fund's investment strategy.

      funds

    * to redeem your shares

        (1) Based on expenses incurred during the fund's most recent fiscal
            year. The fund has a stepped fee schedule. As a result, the fund's

        (2) Other expenses include the fees and expenses of the fund's
            independent trustees, their legal counsel and interest.

             * redeem all of your shares at the end of the periods shown below
             * earn a 5% return each year
             * incur the same operating expenses as shown above

             . . . your cost of investing in the fund would be:

                       1 year          3 years         5 years         10 years
