                          AMERICAN CENTURY INVESTMENTS
                                  PREMIUM BOND

1. WHAT IS THE FUND'S INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE?

        Premium  Bond  seeks  a  high  level  of  income  from   investments  in
     longer-term bonds and other debt instruments.

2. WHAT IS THE FUND'S INVESTMENT STRATEGY?

        The fund invests in a variety of high- and medium-grade  debt securities
     payable in both U.S. and foreign  currencies.  Generally,  bonds make up at
     least 65% of the fund's assets,  and shorter-term debt securities round out
     the portfolio.

        The fund  primarily  invests in  investment-grade  securities,  that is,
     securities  rated in the four  highest  categories  by  independent  rating
     organizations.  However,  the fund may  invest  up to 15% of its  assets in
     fifth-category-rated  securities.  The  fund  may also  invest  in  unrated
     securities if the manager  determines  that they are of  equivalent  credit
     quality.

        Three  basic  principles  of  fixed-income  investing  impact the fund's
     management.

     *    Bond  prices  generally  move in the  opposite  direction  of interest
          rates.

     *    The longer the maturity of a debt security,  the higher its yield, but
          the greater its price volatility and risk.

     *    The lower the credit quality of a debt security, the higher its yield,
          but the greater its price volatility and risk.

        In light of these principles, the fund's managers pay close attention to
     the interest rate  sensitivity and credit quality of the fund's  portfolio.
     "Adjusted  duration"  is one of the  tools  they use to gauge  how much the
     value of the fund will  change if  interest  rates  change.  The higher the
     adjusted  duration  number,  the more the value of the fund will  change if
     interest  rates change.  The "weighted  average  adjusted  duration" of the
     fund's  portfolio  must be 3.5 years or greater.  During  periods of rising
     interest rates, the fund's managers may adopt a shorter portfolio  duration
     in order to reduce the effect of bond price  declines on the fund's  value.
     When interest  rates are falling and bond prices  rising,  they may adopt a
     longer portfolio duration.

        Additional  information about Premium Bond'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
     six-month 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 Premium Bond than for funds that have
          shorter weighted average adjusted durations,  such as money market and
          short-term bond funds.

     *    The lowest rated bonds in which the fund may invest, BBB- and BB-rated
          bonds, contain some speculative characteristics. Having these bonds in
          the  fund's  portfolio  means  the  fund's  value  may go down more if
          interest  rates or other economic  conditions  change than if the fund
          contained only higher rated bonds.

     *    As with all  funds,  at any given  time,  the value of your  shares of
          Premium Bond may be worth more or less than the price you paid. 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,  nor is it insured or
          guaranteed by the Federal Deposit  Insurance  Corporation or any other
          government agency.

        In summary,  Premium Bond is designed for investors who want a bond fund
     with the potential for a higher level of income than is generally  provided
     by money  market or  short-term  bond funds.  Investors in the fund must be
     prepared,  however,  to weather  the  generally  greater  price  volatility
     associated with the longer-term bonds that the fund buys.

6. HOW DO I BUY FUND SHARES?

    *   Complete and return the enclosed application

    *   Call us and exchange shares from another American Century fund

    *   Call us and send your investment by bank wire transfer

         Your initial investment must be at least $100,000. If the value of your
     account  falls  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 Premium  Bond
     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?

        Premium Bond  distributes to its shareholders  substantially  all of its
     income and realized capital gains each year.  Distributions  may be taxable
     as ordinary  income,  capital gains,  or a combination of the two.  Capital
     gains are taxed at different rates depending on the length of time the fund
     held  the  securities   that  were  sold.   Distributions   are  reinvested
     automatically in additional shares unless you choose another option.

        The fund's  managers  expect  that  Premium  Bond's  distributions  will
     consist primarily of ordinary income.  Premium Bond determines and declares
     as a distribution  the net income of the fund at the close of each day. The
     fund pays  this  distribution  monthly  on the last  Friday of each  month,
     except for year-end distributions, which the fund pays on the last business
     day of the year.  Premium Bond  generally  declares and pays  distributions
     from net  realized  securities  gains,  if any,  once a year,  but may make
     distributions more frequently.

9. WHAT SERVICES ARE AVAILABLE?

         American  Century  offers  several  ways to make it  easier  for you to

     or visiting one of our Investor Centers.

         Information  contained  in our  Investor  Services  Guide  pertains  to
     shareholders  who invest directly with American Century rather than through
     an employer-sponsored retirement plan or through a financial intermediary.

         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 an Institutional Service Representative at 1-800-345-3533.

                          AMERICAN CENTURY INVESTMENTS
                           PREMIUM GOVERNMENT RESERVE

1. WHAT IS THE FUND'S INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE?

         Premium  Government  Reserve is a money  market fund that seeks to earn
     the highest  level of current  income  while  preserving  the value of your
     investment.

2. WHAT IS THE FUND'S INVESTMENT STRATEGY?

         The  fund  earns  its  income  by  investing  in very  short-term  U.S.
     government  securities.  These securities are short-term obligations of the
     U.S. government, its agencies and instrumentalities.

         Additional  information about Premium Government Reserve'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
     six-month 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,  nor is it insured or
        guaranteed by the Federal  Deposit  Insurance  Corporation  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 it.

    *   Because  very  short-term  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 for funds that invest in longer-term or lower-quality securities.

8. HOW ARE FUND DISTRIBUTIONS MADE AND TAXED?

         Dividends  are declared and  available for  redemption  daily.  You may
     elect to have distributions  automatically deposited back into your Premium
     Government  Reserve account,  sent directly to your bank account or sent to
     you by check.  Because the fund is a money market fund,  its  distributions
     generally will be taxed as ordinary income.  If the fund's share price were
     to go up or down, its annual distributions also could include capital gains
     or losses.

9. WHAT SERVICES ARE AVAILABLE?

         American  Century  offers  several  ways to make it  easier  for you to
     manage your account, such as:

    *   telephone transactions

    *   wire and electronic funds transfers

    *   24-hour Automated Information Line transactions

    *   24-hour online Internet account access and transactions

         You may find more  information  about  these  choices  in our  Investor
     Services Guide, which you may request by calling us, accessing our Web site
     or visiting one of our Investor Centers.

         Information  contained  in our  Investor  Services  Guide  pertains  to
     shareholders  who invest directly with American Century rather than through
     an employer-sponsored retirement plan or through a financial intermediary.

         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 an Institutional Service Representative at 1-800-345-3533.

                             PREMIUM CAPITAL RESERVE

1. WHAT IS THE FUND'S INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE?

        Premium  Capital  Reserve is a money  market fund that seeks to earn the
     highest  level  of  current  income  while  preserving  the  value  of your
     investment.

2. WHAT IS THE FUND'S INVESTMENT STRATEGY?

        The fund earns its income by investing in high-quality,  cash-equivalent
     securities.   These   securities  are  short-term   obligations  of  banks,
     governments and corporations that are payable in U.S. dollars.

        Additional  information about Premium Capital  Reserve'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
     six-month 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,  nor is it  insured  or
     guaranteed  by the  Federal  Deposit  Insurance  Corporation  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 it.

    *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
     for funds that invest in longer-term or lower-quality securities.

     FUND PERFORMANCE

        The bar chart  below  shows the actual  performance  of Premium  Capital
     Reserve's  Investor  Class shares for each  calendar  year since the fund's

        The table below shows the average  annual return of the fund's  Investor
     Class shares for the periods indicated.  The 90-Day Treasury Bill Index, an
     unmanaged  index  that  reflects  no  operating  costs,  is  included  as a
     benchmark  for  long-term  performance  comparisons.  It  is  derived  from
     secondary market interest rates as published by the Federal Reserve Bank.

                                           1 YR.      LIFE OF FUND
      AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURNS (PERIOD ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1998)
          Premium Capital Reserve          31.15%       19.79%
          90-Day Treasury Bill Index       30.03%       23.03%

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 funds,
     or to redeem  your  shares.  The  following  table  describes  the fees and
     expenses that you may pay if you buy and hold shares of the fund.

      ANNUAL FUND OPERATING EXPENSES
      (EXPENSES THAT ARE DEDUCTED FROM FUND ASSETS)
           Management Fee                                 0.45%
           Distribution and Service (12b-1) Fees           None
           Other Expenses(1)                              0.00%
           Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses           0.45%

        (1)Other  expenses,  which  include the fees and  expenses of the fund's
        independent directors,  their legal counsel,  interest and extraordinary
        expenses, were less than 0.005% for the most recent fiscal year.

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

            1 year       3 years      5 years      10 years
           -------------------------------------------------
             $46          $144         $252         $566

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