                               REPORT HIGHLIGHTS

MARKET PERSPECTIVE

*     U.S.  stocks  produced  strong  returns during the year ended November 30,
      1997, despite increased market volatility.

*     Domestic bonds  struggled  early in the year but bounced back as investors
      looked to the U.S.  bond market as a "safe  haven"  from  global  currency
      crises and volatile markets.

*     The biggest  story in  international  markets was the  currency  crisis in
      Southeast Asia, which sent financial  markets in the region plummeting and
      impacted markets around the world.

*     Stock  and  bond  markets  in  Europe  performed  well  during  the  year,
      benefiting from low inflation and falling interest rates.

STRATEGIC ALLOCATION: CONSERVATIVE

*     Performance  during the fiscal  year  reflected  the  fund's  emphasis  on
      lower-volatility investments.

*     The fund's asset mix was fairly  neutral for much of the period;  the most
      significant adjustment was a slight underweighting in U.S. stocks early in
      the year.

*     The financial  meltdown in Southeast  Asia had virtually no effect on fund
      performance.

*     The merger  with  American  Century  Capital  Manager  fund in August went
      smoothly and had little impact on the fund or its performance.

*     Going forward, we plan to maintain a neutral asset mix, though we may look
      to underweight U.S. stocks and overweight cash in the coming months.

STRATEGIC ALLOCATION: MODERATE

*     Performance  during the fiscal year reflected the fund's  balance  between
      bonds and stocks.

*     The fund's asset mix was fairly  neutral for much of the period;  the most
      significant adjustment was a slight underweighting in U.S. stocks early in
      the year.

*     The  financial  meltdown  in  Southeast  Asia had  little  impact  on fund
      performance.

*     Going forward, we plan to maintain a neutral asset mix, though we may look
      to underweight U.S. stocks and overweight cash in the coming months.

STRATEGIC ALLOCATION: AGGRESSIVE

*     Performance  during the fiscal year reflected the fund's asset  allocation
      structure.

*     The fund's asset mix was fairly  neutral for much of the period;  the most
      significant adjustment was a slight underweighting in U.S. stocks early in
      the year.

*     The  financial  meltdown  in  Southeast  Asia had  little  impact  on fund
      performance.

*     Going forward, we plan to maintain a neutral asset mix, though we may look
      to underweight U.S. stocks and overweight cash in the coming months.

ANNUAL REPORT                                     REPORT HIGHLIGHTS       1


                              OUR MESSAGE TO YOU

                        [photo of James E. Stowers III]

    The year ended November 30, 1997, was a volatile one in the global financial
markets,  but the Strategic Asset Allocation funds produced solid,  double-digit
returns that were consistent with their asset allocation strategies. Upheaval in
Southeast  Asia led to turmoil in markets  around the world,  but the funds were
bolstered by the strong  performance of the U.S. stock and bond markets.  In the
following pages, our investment management team discusses the performance of the
global financial  markets in more detail and describes how your fund was managed
during the period.

    During the year, we took steps that will enable us to expand and enhance our
investment  tools and services.  On January 15, 1998,  American Century signed a
business  partnership  agreement with J.P.  Morgan & Co.,  Inc.,  which became a
significant minority shareholder of American Century Companies, Inc. J.P. Morgan
has been in business for more than 150 years, serving institutions,  governments
and individuals with complex financial needs.

    Within the framework of this relationship, American Century will continue to
operate as an independent company. Our corporate management team will remain the
same,  and the Stowers  family will retain  voting  control of the  company.  No
changes in your fund's investment managers,  policies or fees are anticipated as
a result of this transaction.

    Another  step we took was to begin to  address  the year  2000  problem.  As
detailed in numerous news reports,  many of the world's  computer systems are at
risk because they cannot distinguish  between the years 1900 and 2000. A team of
computer  professionals  is  reviewing  each of American  Century's  systems and
programs to identify  and fix those that could  cause  problems.  Our goal is to
have all of our computer  systems and programs 100%  year-2000  compliant by the
end of 1998.

    On a more personal note, 1998 will be a landmark year for another reason. It
marks 40 years  since my  father,  Jim  Stowers,  Jr.,  launched  the  first two
Twentieth  Century  funds,  Growth and Select.  Not many fund  companies  have a
40-year  track  record,  nor have many built a fund family  such as ours,  which
includes nearly 70 stock,  bond, money market and combination funds that provide
investors with a wide range of choice and flexibility.

    Whatever your financial  goals, we believe we have an outstanding  lineup of
funds to help you reach them.

     Sincerely,


     /s/James E. Stowers III

2      OUR MESSAGE TO YOU                     AMERICAN CENTURY INVESTMENTS


                              MARKET PERSPECTIVE

U.S. STOCKS

    The  latest  U.S.  economic  expansion  passed 80 months  during  the fourth
quarter of 1997,  making it the third  longest  since World War II.  U.S.  stock
performance, represented by the S&P 500 and the Russell 2000 in the accompanying
table,  reflected the  continued  strong  economic  growth,  increased  employee
productivity,  low borrowing costs and high corporate  profit margins during the
year ended  November 30, 1997.  The major U.S.  stock indices  posted gains well
above historical averages for the third consecutive year.

    The ride was not smooth,  however,  with sizable dips in March (following an
increase  in  short-term  interest  rates by the  Federal  Reserve),  August and
October.  A handful of large,  multinational  stocks  continued  their  two-year
dominance of the market  until  August,  when  earnings  disappointments  caused
investors  to begin  questioning  the  valuations  of these  securities.  Slower
corporate  earnings growth caused the S&P 500 to drop 5.8% for the month.  Stock
prices  resumed  their  upward  move in  September,  but the gains of small- and
mid-cap stocks exceeded those of large-company  stocks as investors  temporarily
rotated away from bigger companies.

    October  saw  another  reversal  as the market  reacted to news of  currency
devaluations  across  Southeast Asia (see the Foreign Stocks section on page 4).
Stock markets plummeted throughout the region, and investor concerns in the U.S.
grew when the panic selling spread to Hong Kong and affected  European  markets.
The S&P 500 dropped 3.5% in October, and the Russell 2000 fell 4.4%. The decline
was driven by fears that the  sell-off  overseas  would  translate  into reduced
corporate  profits in 1998 for U.S.  multinational  companies and for technology
companies dependent upon economic growth in Asia.

    But despite the fears and setbacks, the final word on the year in stocks was
very positive.  Financial services stocks were among the biggest winners,  while
precious metals stocks were the biggest losers.

U.S. BONDS

    U.S.  bonds bounced back from a rocky start to provide solid returns for the
period, as shown in the accompanying  table. Bonds benefited from low inflation,
stock market  turmoil and favorable  supply and demand  factors.  Low inflation,
represented by an annualized  consumer price growth rate of just 1.9% during the
year ended  November 30, 1997,  kept interest rates low and boosted bond prices.
Wage  pressure,  a key component of inflation,  didn't  materialize  despite the
lowest unemployment rates since the early 1970s.

    Supply and demand also helped bonds.  The shrinking  federal  budget deficit
allowed  the U.S.  Treasury to reduce its bond  issuance  to finance  government
debt,  diminishing  the supply of fixed-income  securities.  On the demand side,
investors  began  turning to U.S.  bonds as a "safe  haven"  from  equity-market
volatility  and for their  interest  rates,  which were  generally  higher  than
foreign rates.

    Bond returns for the period reflected an early sell-off, then a later rally.
Interest rates soared after the Fed made a pre-emptive  strike against inflation
in March and raised  short-term  interest rates for the first time in two years.
The Fed's  action  fueled  speculation  that there might be a series of interest
rate hikes, as there had been in the past, to slow down economic growth and keep
inflation in check.

    Instead,  economic growth slowed somewhat from its rapid first-quarter pace,
and inflation  remained  under  control.  As a result,  interest  rates and bond
yields fell from April through the end of November.

                              MARKET PERSPECTIVE

FOREIGN STOCKS

    Foreign stock returns varied  dramatically  from region to region,  but they
were  positive  overall.  The Morgan  Stanley  EAFE  Index--a  broad  measure of
international stock performance--returned 9.27% (in local currencies) during the
one-year  period.  However,  the stronger U.S. dollar hurt foreign stock returns
for U.S.  investors;  translating the EAFE's  one-year return into U.S.  dollars
erases the entire gain (see the accompanying table).

    The biggest  international  story was the implosion of the  Southeast  Asian
markets  and  currencies.  Many  of the  countries  in  this  region  had  their
currencies "pegged" to the U.S. dollar, meaning their currencies moved in tandem
with the dollar. In the early 1990s, the currency peg was an advantage--with the
dollar (and  therefore  their own  currencies)  weakening,  Asian exports became
cheaper in the global marketplace. Booming exports fueled strong economic growth
in the  region,  which in turn  attracted  a great deal of foreign  lending  and
sparked a flurry of development.

    But by 1997, a stronger dollar had eliminated the  competitive  advantage of
the Southeast Asian countries,  and their  export-led  economies  weakened.  The
region's banks,  which had funneled hundreds of billions of dollars from foreign
lenders  into  questionable  investments,  began  to look  shaky.  Manufacturing
capacity was overbuilt, real estate was overdeveloped,  and everything came down
like a house of cards. One by one, Southeast Asian countries abandoned their peg
to the dollar, and their currencies and financial markets plummeted.

    The  effects of the  Southeast  Asian  crisis  spread to other  parts of the
world.  Japan, in particular,  was one of the biggest lenders in the region, and
the potential damage to an already  struggling banking system weighed on Japan's
stock market.  The crisis also had a negative impact on other "emerging markets,
"such  as Latin  America  and  Eastern  Europe,  but the  shockwaves  were  less
traumatic.

    Western European stock markets, on the other hand, enjoyed solid returns for
the  year.  Most  of  the  economies  on the  continent  slowed  as  governments
concentrated  on meeting the  requirements  for  European  economic and monetary
union. But despite this environment,  European  equities  performed well as many
companies  restructured  their  operations  and  cut  costs.  In  addition,  the
combination of falling interest rates and low inflation benefited stocks.

FOREIGN BONDS

    Foreign  bond  markets  also  saw  divergent  returns,  but  they  performed
favorably overall as interest rates declined in much of the world.  Foreign bond
performance  matched that of U.S.  bonds in local  currencies,  as the tables on
this page and the previous  page  illustrate.  But when foreign bond returns are
converted into U.S.  dollars,  the currency losses produce negative foreign bond
returns for U.S. investors.

    In Europe, slowing economic growth and low inflation led to falling interest
rates for much of 1997. Efforts to cut government budget deficits also benefited
fixed-income  securities on the continent.  In Japan, interest rates remained at
historically  low levels as the country's  long-suffering  economy showed little
signs of life.

    The currency crisis in Southeast Asia pushed up interest rates in the region
and produced bond market losses.  Central banks  repeatedly hiked interest rates
in an effort to maintain their  currencies'  peg to the U.S.  dollar.  After the
crisis,  interest rates continued to rise,  reflecting  credit rating downgrades
for government debt in the region.

MANAGEMENT Q & A

    An interview  with Jeff Tyler and Brian  Howell,  portfolio  managers on the
American Century Strategic Allocation funds management team.

HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM?

    For the fiscal year ended  November  30,  1997,  the fund's  Investor  Class
shares  posted a total return of 10.87%,  compared with the 12.08% return of the
fund's  benchmark.  The benchmark is composed of several  market  indexes,  each
representing a specific asset type (e.g., domestic stocks), that are weighted to
match the fund's neutral asset mix. (See the Total Returns table on the previous
page for other fund performance comparisons.)

WHY DID THE FUND UNDERPERFORM ITS BENCHMARK?

    It was the fund's U.S. stock holdings. Our stocks underperformed the broader
market overall, and we also underweighted domestic stocks for much of the fiscal
year.

WAS THIS A SIGNIFICANT ADJUSTMENT TO THE FUND'S ASSET MIX?

    Not  really.  The fund's  strategic  approach  dictates  that we  maintain a
relatively stable asset mix. Within this structure, we typically make some minor
adjustments in a narrow range around the fund's  neutral mix of 40% stocks,  45%
bonds, and 15% cash.

    In early 1997, we underweighted U.S.  stocks--not by much, just a percent or
two below what we consider neutral--and  overweighted foreign stocks. Volatility
in the  domestic  stock  market was  increasing,  and we felt there were  better
values in overseas markets.

    Foreign stocks,  especially those in Europe, performed well during the first
half of the year,  so we took some profits in July and brought our foreign stock
allocation back to neutral.

    Immediately  following  the  dramatic  U.S.  stock  market  declines in late
October,  we boosted our  domestic  stock  allocation  closer to neutral to take
advantage of what we felt were attractive  buying  opportunities.  By the end of
the  period,   our  only  overweighted   position  was  in  cash  (money  market
securities).

ALTHOUGH  THE FUND'S BOND  ALLOCATION  DIDN'T  CHANGE MUCH DURING THE YEAR,  THE
COMPOSITION OF ITS U.S. BOND HOLDINGS DID. CAN YOU EXPLAIN THESE CHANGES?

    The benchmark index for the domestic bond portion of the fund's portfolio is
the Lehman  Aggregate  Bond Index,  and our  adjustments  reflected an effort to
match the composition of the index.

    Toward this end, we nearly  doubled the fund's  corporate  bond holdings and
cut back on its Treasury  securities  (see the chart on page 8). We made most of
these adjustments toward the end of the fiscal year, when corporate bonds became
more attractive compared with Treasury securities.

    Corporate bonds typically offer higher yields than Treasury  securities,  so
these changes should enhance the fund's ability to meet its primary goal,  which
is regular  income.  But they should also  increase the price  volatility of the
fund's bond component slightly.

HOW DID THE FINANCIAL MELTDOWN IN SOUTHEAST ASIA AFFECT THE FUND?

    It had virtually no effect on the fund, for two reasons.  First, the foreign
component  of the fund is a small  part of its  portfolio--typically  around 12%
- --and  Southeast  Asian  securities  make  up an  even  smaller  subset  of this
component. As a result, the price declines of securities in this region had very
little impact on the fund's performance.

    Second,  we  underweighted  our  investments  in the Far  East  because  our
analysis of growth  potential at individual  companies  gave us early warning of
the

                      STRATEGIC ALLOCATION: CONSERVATIVE

troubles  ahead.  Most foreign stock and bond indexes  allocate about 30% to the
Asia/Pacific  region,  but we devoted just 10% of the fund's foreign holdings to
this area. And the majority of this was in Hong Kong,  the largest,  most stable
market in the region. Hong Kong's markets held up the best among Southeast Asian
countries during the turmoil.

WITH REGARD TO THE FUND'S FOREIGN HOLDINGS, DID YOU DO ANY CURRENCY HEDGING?

    Yes. We hedged around 25-35% of the fund's foreign  holdings  throughout the
fiscal  year.  With  the  dollar   strengthening   against  most  major  foreign
currencies,   gains  earned  on  investments  denominated  in  these  currencies
translated into fewer dollars. We felt that our hedging strategy would provide a
suitable  balance  between  offsetting  currency losses and retaining the fund's
exposure to non-dollar-denominated investments.

AT THE END OF AUGUST,  THE  AMERICAN  CENTURY  CAPITAL  MANAGER FUND MERGED INTO
STRATEGIC ALLOCATION:  CONSERVATIVE. DID THIS MERGER HAVE ANY IMPACT ON THE FUND
OR ITS PERFORMANCE?

    Not really.  In the weeks leading up to the merger, we gradually shifted the
Capital  Manager  fund's  portfolio to look more like the Strategic  Allocation:
Conservative fund. This approach made the merger of the two portfolios virtually
seamless.

WHAT ARE YOUR PLANS FOR THE FUND'S ASSET ALLOCATION STRUCTURE GOING FORWARD?

    For the  time  being,  we will  likely  continue  its  current  positioning,
maintaining a roughly neutral asset mix. However,  one change we may make in the
coming months is to cut back on our U.S. stock holdings.

    Between 1994 and 1996,  stock market  volatility in the U.S. was  relatively
low compared with historical norms. But in 1997, we've seen more volatility than
normal,  especially  during the last half of the year. As a result,  we feel the
need to be more selective in our domestic stock portion.

    We may look to  underweight  domestic  stocks and  overweight  cash in early
1998, but we hesitate to underweight more than a percent or two because economic
conditions  remain  favorable  for U.S.  stocks.  Within the fund's  U.S.  stock
component, we also plan to emphasize stocks we feel are undervalued.

WHAT ABOUT THE U.S. BOND MARKET?

    U.S. bonds, especially Treasury securities, have rallied dramatically in the
last six months,  primarily because of low inflation in the U.S. and demand from
foreign  investors  seeking a "safe haven" from global  market  volatility.  The
problems in Southeast  Asia could help bonds going  forward--they  could lead to
slower economic growth in the U.S. and more safe-haven demand from abroad.

    The one potentially  negative factor also comes from Asia--some countries in
the region,  especially  Japan, may be selling Treasurys to bring cash back home
and rebuild their currencies.

IN THE FUND'S  SEMIANNUAL  REPORT IN MAY, YOU TALKED  FAVORABLY  ABOUT  EUROPEAN
STOCK MARKETS. DO YOU STILL LIKE THEM?

    From a long-term  perspective,  we still like the markets in this region. We
believe that  corporate  restructuring,  increased  privatization  and a greater
focus on the customer will boost productivity and corporate  profits--as well as
stock prices--in Europe.  However,  economic difficulties stemming from both the
Southeast Asian crisis and the move toward European  economic and monetary union
may weigh these stocks down in the short term.

                        STRATEGIC ALLOCATION: MODERATE

MANAGEMENT Q & A

    An interview  with Jeff Tyler and Brian  Howell,  portfolio  managers on the
American Century Strategic Allocation funds management team.

HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM?

    For the fiscal year ended  November  30,  1997,  the fund's  Investor  Class
shares  posted a total return of 13.02%,  compared with the 13.42% return of the
fund's  benchmark.  The benchmark is composed of several  market  indexes,  each
representing a specific asset type (e.g., domestic stocks), that are weighted to
match the fund's neutral asset mix. (See the Total Returns table on the previous
page for other fund performance comparisons.)

WHY DID THE FUND UNDERPERFORM ITS BENCHMARK?

    It was the fund's U.S. stock holdings. Our stocks underperformed the broader
market overall, and we also underweighted domestic stocks for much of the fiscal
year.

WAS THIS A SIGNIFICANT ADJUSTMENT TO THE FUND'S ASSET MIX?

    Not  really.  The fund's  strategic  approach  dictates  that we  maintain a
relatively stable asset mix. Within this structure, we typically make some minor
adjustments in a narrow range around the fund's  neutral mix of 60% stocks,  30%
bonds, and 10% cash.

    In early 1997, we underweighted U.S.  stocks--not by much, just a percent or
two below what we consider neutral--and  overweighted foreign stocks. Volatility
in the  domestic  stock  market was  increasing,  and we felt there were  better
values in overseas markets.

    Foreign stocks,  especially those in Europe, performed well during the first
half of the year,  so we took some profits in July and brought our foreign stock
allocation back to neutral.

    Immediately  following  the  dramatic  U.S.  stock  market  declines in late
October,  we boosted our  domestic  stock  allocation  closer to neutral to take
advantage of what we felt were attractive  buying  opportunities.  By the end of
the  period,   our  only  overweighted   position  was  in  cash  (money  market
securities).

ALTHOUGH  THE FUND'S BOND  ALLOCATION  DIDN'T  CHANGE MUCH DURING THE YEAR,  THE
COMPOSITION OF ITS U.S. BOND HOLDINGS DID. CAN YOU EXPLAIN THESE CHANGES?

    The benchmark index for the domestic bond portion of the fund's portfolio is
the Lehman  Aggregate  Bond Index,  and our  adjustments  reflected an effort to
match the composition of the index.

    Toward this end, we nearly  doubled the fund's  corporate  bond holdings and
cut back on its Treasury  securities (see the chart on page 23). We made most of
these adjustments toward the end of the fiscal year, when corporate bonds became
more attractive compared with Treasury securities.

    Corporate bonds typically offer higher yields than Treasury  securities,  so
these changes should enhance the fund's ability to meet one of its goals,  which
is regular income.  They should also increase the price volatility of the fund's
bond component slightly.

HOW DID THE FINANCIAL MELTDOWN IN SOUTHEAST ASIA AFFECT THE FUND?

    It had  little  effect on the fund,  for two  reasons.  First,  the  foreign
component of the fund is typically  around 20%, and Southeast  Asian  securities
make up an even  smaller  subset  of this  component.  As a  result,  the  price
declines  of  securities  in this  region  had a limited  impact  on the  fund's
performance.

    Second,  we  underweighted  our  investments  in the Far  East  because  our
analysis of growth  potential at individual  companies  gave us early warning of
the troubles  ahead.  Most foreign stock and bond indexes  allocate about 30% to
the Asia/Pacific region, but we

                        STRATEGIC ALLOCATION: MODERATE

devoted  less than 10% of the fund's  foreign  holdings  to this  area.  And the
majority  of this was in Hong  Kong,  the  largest,  most  stable  market in the
region.  Hong Kong's markets held up best among Southeast Asian countries during
the turmoil.

WITH REGARD TO THE FUND'S FOREIGN HOLDINGS, DID YOU DO ANY CURRENCY HEDGING?

    Yes. We hedged around 25-35% of the fund's foreign  holdings  throughout the
fiscal  year.  With  the  dollar   strengthening   against  most  major  foreign
currencies,   gains  earned  on  investments  denominated  in  these  currencies
translated into fewer dollars. We felt that our hedging strategy would provide a

exposure to non-dollar-denominated investments.

WHAT ARE YOUR PLANS FOR THE FUND'S ASSET ALLOCATION STRUCTURE GOING FORWARD?

    For the  time  being,  we will  likely  continue  its  current  positioning,
maintaining a roughly neutral asset mix. However,  one change we may make in the
coming months is to cut back on our U.S. stock holdings.

    Between 1994 and 1996,  stock market  volatility in the U.S. was  relatively
low compared with historical norms. But in 1997, we've seen more volatility than
normal,  especially  during the last half of the year. As a result,  we feel the
need to be more selective in our domestic stock portion.

    We may look to  underweight  domestic  stocks and  overweight  cash in early
1998, but we hesitate to underweight more than a percent or two because

economic  conditions  remain favorable for U.S.  stocks.  Within the fund's U.S.
stock component, we also plan to emphasize stocks we feel are undervalued.

WHAT ABOUT THE U.S. BOND MARKET?

    U.S. bonds, especially Treasury securities, have rallied dramatically in the
last six months,  primarily because of low inflation in the U.S. and demand from
foreign  investors  seeking a "safe haven" from global  market  volatility.  The
problems in Southeast  Asia could help bonds going  forward--they  could lead to
slower economic growth in the U.S. and more safe-haven demand from abroad.

    The one potentially  negative factor also comes from Asia--some countries in
the region,  especially  Japan, may be selling Treasurys to bring cash back home
and rebuild their currencies.

IN THE FUND'S  SEMIANNUAL  REPORT IN MAY, YOU TALKED  FAVORABLY  ABOUT  EUROPEAN
STOCK MARKETS. DO YOU STILL LIKE THEM?

    From a long-term  perspective,  we still like the markets in this region. We
believe that  corporate  restructuring,  increased  privatization  and a greater
focus on the customer will boost productivity and corporate  profits--as well as
stock prices--in Europe.  However,  economic difficulties stemming from both the
Southeast Asian crisis and the move toward European  economic and monetary union
may weigh these stocks down in the short term.

Past  performance  does not  guarantee  future  results.  Investment  return and
principal  value will fluctuate,  and redemption  value may be more or less than
original cost. Data quoted is for Investor Class only; performance for the other
class will vary due to  differences  in fee  structures  (see the Total  Returns
table above).

The line representing the fund's total return includes  operating expenses (such
as  transaction  costs and  management  fees)  that  reduce  returns,  while the
indices' total return lines do not.

* 2/29/96 is the date closest to Investor Class  inception for which  comparable
  performance data exist. The class's actual inception date is 2/15/96.

                       STRATEGIC ALLOCATION: AGGRESSIVE

MANAGEMENT Q & A

    An interview  with Jeff Tyler and Brian  Howell,  portfolio  managers on the
American Century Strategic Allocation funds management team.

HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM?

    For the fiscal year ended  November  30,  1997,  the fund's  Investor  Class
shares  posted a total return of 13.84%,  compared with the 15.23% return of the
fund's  benchmark.  The benchmark is composed of several  market  indexes,  each
representing a specific asset type (e.g., domestic stocks), that are weighted to
match the fund's neutral asset mix. (See the Total Returns table on the previous
page for other fund performance comparisons.)

WHY DID THE FUND UNDERPERFORM ITS BENCHMARK?

    It was the fund's U.S. stock holdings. Our stocks underperformed the broader
market overall, and we also underweighted domestic stocks for much of the fiscal
year.

WAS THIS A SIGNIFICANT ADJUSTMENT TO THE FUND'S ASSET MIX?

    Not  really.  The fund's  strategic  approach  dictates  that we  maintain a
relatively stable asset mix. Within this structure, we typically make some minor
adjustments in a narrow range around the fund's  neutral mix of 75% stocks,  20%
bonds, and 5% cash.

    In early 1997, we underweighted U.S.  stocks--not by much, just a percent or
two below what we consider neutral--and  overweighted foreign stocks. Volatility
in the  domestic  stock  market was  increasing,  and we felt there were  better
values in overseas markets.

    Foreign stocks,  especially those in Europe, performed well during the first
half of the year,  so we took some profits in July and brought our foreign stock
allocation back to neutral.

    Immediately  following  the  dramatic  U.S.  stock  market  declines in late
October,  we boosted our  domestic  stock  allocation  closer to neutral to take
advantage of what we felt were attractive  buying  opportunities.  By the end of
the  period,   our  only  overweighted   position  was  in  cash  (money  market
securities).

ALTHOUGH  THE FUND'S BOND  ALLOCATION  DIDN'T  CHANGE MUCH DURING THE YEAR,  THE
COMPOSITION OF ITS U.S. BOND HOLDINGS DID. CAN YOU EXPLAIN THESE CHANGES?

    The benchmark index for the domestic bond portion of the fund's portfolio is
the Lehman  Aggregate  Bond Index,  and our  adjustments  reflected an effort to
match the composition of the index.

    Toward this end, we nearly  doubled the fund's  corporate  bond holdings and
cut back on its Treasury  securities (see the chart on page 40). We made most of
these adjustments toward the end of the fiscal year, when corporate bonds became
more attractive compared with Treasury securities.

    Corporate  bonds typically  provide higher yields than Treasury  securities,
which should  enhance the fund's  income  stream.  They should also increase the
volatility of the fund's bond component slightly.

HOW DID THE FINANCIAL MELTDOWN IN SOUTHEAST ASIA AFFECT THE FUND?

    It had  little  effect on the fund,  for two  reasons.  First,  the  foreign
component of the fund is typically  around 25%, and Southeast  Asian  securities
make up an even  smaller  subset  of this  component.  As a  result,  the  price
declines  of  securities  in this  region  had a limited  impact  on the  fund's
performance.

    Second,  we  underweighted  our  investments  in the Far  East  because  our
analysis of growth  potential at individual  companies  gave us early warning of
the troubles  ahead.  Most foreign stock and bond indexes  allocate about 30% to
the Asia/Pacific region, but we

                       STRATEGIC ALLOCATION: AGGRESSIVE


devoted  less than 10% of the fund's  foreign  holdings  to this  area.  And the
majority  of this was in Hong  Kong,  the  largest,  most  stable  market in the
region.  Hong Kong's markets held up best among Southeast Asian countries during
the turmoil.

WITH REGARD TO THE FUND'S FOREIGN HOLDINGS, DID YOU DO ANY CURRENCY HEDGING?

    Yes. We hedged around 25-35% of the fund's foreign  holdings  throughout the
fiscal  year.  With  the  dollar   strengthening   against  most  major  foreign
currencies,   gains  earned  on  investments  denominated  in  these  currencies
translated into fewer dollars. We felt that our hedging strategy would provide a
suitable  balance  between  offsetting  currency losses and retaining the fund's
exposure to non-dollar-denominated investments.

WHAT ARE YOUR PLANS FOR THE FUND'S ASSET ALLOCATION STRUCTURE GOING FORWARD?

    For the  time  being,  we will  likely  continue  its  current  positioning,
maintaining a roughly neutral asset mix. However,  one change we may make in the
coming months is to cut back on our U.S. stock holdings.

    Between 1994 and 1996,  stock market  volatility in the U.S. was  relatively
low compared with historical norms. But in 1997, we've seen more volatility than

normal,  especially  during the last half of the year. As a result,  we feel the
need to be more selective in our domestic stock portion.

    We may look to  underweight  domestic  stocks and  overweight  cash in early
1998, but we hesitate to underweight more than a percent or two because economic
conditions  remain  favorable  for U.S.  stocks.  Within the fund's  U.S.  stock
component, we also plan to emphasize stocks we feel are undervalued.

IN THE FUND'S  SEMIANNUAL  REPORT IN MAY, YOU TALKED  FAVORABLY  ABOUT  EUROPEAN
STOCK MARKETS. DO YOU STILL LIKE THEM?

    From a long-term  perspective,  we still like the markets in this region. We
believe that  corporate  restructuring,  increased  privatization  and a greater
focus on the customer will boost productivity and corporate  profits--as well as
stock prices--in Europe.  However,  economic difficulties stemming from both the
Southeast Asian crisis and the move toward European  economic and monetary union
may weigh these stocks down in the short term.

WHAT ABOUT THE U.S. BOND MARKET?

    U.S. bonds, especially Treasury securities, have rallied dramatically in the
last six months,  primarily because of low inflation in the U.S. and demand from
foreign  investors  seeking a "safe haven" from global  market  volatility.  The
problems in Southeast  Asia could help bonds going  forward--they  could lead to
slower economic growth in the U.S. and more safe-haven demand from abroad.

    The one potentially  negative factor also comes from Asia--some countries in
the region,  especially  Japan, may be selling Treasurys to bring cash back home
and rebuild their currencies.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOVEMBER 30, 1997

1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

    ORGANIZATION--American   Century  Strategic  Asset  Allocations,  Inc.  (the
Corporation)  (formerly Twentieth Century Strategic Asset Allocations,  Inc.) is
registered under the Investment  Company Act of 1940 as an open-end  diversified
management   investment   company.   American  Century   Strategic   Allocation:
Conservative  (Strategic Allocation:  Conservative),  American Century Strategic
Allocation:  Moderate  (Strategic  Allocation:  Moderate)  and American  Century
Strategic Allocation: Aggressive (Strategic Allocation:  Aggressive) (the Funds)
are  three  of the  funds  currently  issued  by  the  Corporation.  The  Funds'
investment  objective  is to  provide as high a level of total  return  (capital
appreciation  plus dividend and interest  income) as is consistent with its risk
profile. The Funds seek to achieve this by diversifying  investments among three
asset classes - equity securities,  bonds and cash equivalent  instruments,  the
mix of which  will  depend  on the risk  profile  of each  Fund.  The  Funds are
authorized  to issue two classes of shares:  the Investor  class and the Advisor
Class.  The two  classes  of  shares  differ  principally  in  their  respective
shareholder servicing and distribution expenses and arrangements.  All shares of
each Fund represent an equal pro rata interest in the net assets of the class to
which such shares belong, and have identical voting,  dividend,  liquidation and
other  rights  and the same  terms and  conditions,  except  for class  specific
expenses  and  exclusive  rights to vote on matters  affecting  only  individual
classes. The following significant  accounting policies,  related to all classes
of the Funds, are in accordance with accounting  policies  generally accepted in
the investment company industry.

    SECURITY  VALUATIONS--Portfolio  securities  traded primarily on a principal
securities  exchange are valued at the last reported sales price, or the mean of
the  latest  bid and  asked  prices  where no last  sales  price  is  available.
Securities traded  over-the-counter are valued at the mean of the latest bid and
asked prices or, in the case of certain foreign securities, at the last reported
sales price,  depending on local  convention or regulation.  Debt securities not
traded on a principal securities exchange are valued through valuations obtained
from a  commercial  pricing  service  or at the mean of the most  recent bid and
asked prices.  When valuations are not readily available,  securities are valued
at fair value as determined in accordance with  procedures  adopted by the Board
of Directors.

    SECURITY  TRANSACTIONS--Security  transactions are accounted for on the date
purchased  or  sold.  Net  realized  gains  and  losses  are  determined  on the
identified cost basis, which is also used for federal income tax purposes.

    INVESTMENT  INCOME--Dividend  income less foreign taxes withheld (if any) is
recorded as of the ex-dividend date.  Interest income is recorded on the accrual
basis and includes accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums.

    FOREIGN  CURRENCY  TRANSACTIONS--The  accounting  records  of the  Funds are
maintained in U.S. dollars.  All assets and liabilities  initially  expressed in
foreign currencies are converted into U.S. dollars at prevailing exchange rates.
Purchases and sales of investment securities,  dividend and interest income, and
certain  expenses  are  translated  at the rates of exchange  prevailing  on the
respective dates of such transactions.

    Net realized foreign  currency  exchange gains or losses arise from sales of
foreign  currencies  and the  difference  between  asset and  liability  amounts
initially stated in foreign  currencies and the U.S. dollar value of the amounts
actually  received or paid. Net unrealized  foreign  currency  exchange gains or
losses  arise from  changes in the value of assets and  liabilities,  other than
portfolio securities, resulting from changes in the exchange rates.

    Net  realized  and  unrealized  foreign  currency  exchange  gains or losses
occurring  during the holding period of portfolio  securities are a component of
realized gain (loss) on investments and unrealized  appreciation  (depreciation)
on investments, respectively.

    FORWARD  FOREIGN  CURRENCY  EXCHANGE  CONTRACTS--The  Funds may  enter  into
forward foreign currency exchange contracts for the purpose of settling specific
purchases or sales of securities  denominated in a foreign  currency or to hedge
the Funds'  exposure  to  foreign  currency  exchange  rate  fluctuations.  When
required, the Funds will segregate assets in an amount sufficient to cover their
obligations  under the hedge  contracts.  The net U.S.  dollar  value of foreign
currency  underlying  all  contractual  commitments  held by the  Funds  and the
resulting  unrealized  appreciation or depreciation  are determined  daily using
prevailing exchange rates.  Forward contracts involve elements of market risk in
excess of the amount reflected in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.  The
Funds bear the risk of an unfavorable  change in the foreign  currency  exchange
rate  underlying  the forward  contract.  Additionally,  losses may arise if the
counterparties do not perform under the contract terms.

    REPURCHASE  AGREEMENTS--The  Funds may enter into repurchase agreements with
institutions that the Funds'  investment  manager,  American Century  Investment
Management,  Inc. (ACIM),  has determined are creditworthy  pursuant to criteria
adopted by the Board of  Directors.  Each  repurchase  agreement  is recorded at
cost. The Funds require that the collateral, represented by securities, received
in a


56       NOTES TO FINANCIAL             STATEMENTS AMERICAN CENTURY INVESTMENTS


                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOVEMBER 30, 1997

repurchase transaction be transferred to the custodian in a manner sufficient to
enable the Funds to obtain those  securities in the event of a default under the
repurchase  agreement.  ACIM  monitors,  on a  daily  basis,  the  value  of the
securities  transferred to ensure the value,  including accrued interest, of the
securities  under each repurchase  agreement is equal to or greater than amounts
owed to the Funds under each repurchase agreement.

    JOINT  TRADING  ACCOUNT--Pursuant  to  an  Exemptive  Order  issued  by  the
Securities  and  Exchange  Commission,  the Funds,  along with other  registered
investment  companies  having  management  agreements  with ACIM,  may  transfer
uninvested  cash  balances  into a joint  trading  account.  These  balances are
invested in one or more repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S.
Treasury or Agency obligations.

    INCOME TAX  STATUS--It is the policy of the Funds to distribute  all taxable
income and capital gains to shareholders and to otherwise qualify as a regulated
investment  company under provisions of the Internal Revenue Code.  Accordingly,
no provision has been made for federal income taxes.

    DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS--Distributions to shareholders are recorded on
the ex-dividend date.  Distributions from net investment income are declared and
paid quarterly, with the exception of Strategic Allocation:  Aggressive which is
declared and paid annually.  Distributions  from net realized gains are declared
and paid annually.

    On  December  19,  1997,  Strategic  Allocation:   Conservative,   Strategic
Allocation:  Moderate and Strategic  Allocation:  Aggressive declared and paid a
distribution  from net investment  income to shareholders of record on that date
of  $0.0560,  $0.0451  and $0.0892 for the  Investor  Class,  respectively,  and
$0.0541,  $0.0450  and $0.0738 for the Advisor  Class,  respectively.  Also,  on
December 19, 1997, the Funds declared and paid a distribution  from net realized
gain on investments to shareholders  of record on that date of $0.2581,  $0.1951
and $0.2085 for both classes, respectively.

    The  character  of  distributions  made during the year from net  investment
income or net realized gains may differ from their ultimate characterization for
federal income tax purposes.  These differences are primarily due to differences
in the  recognition of income and expense items for financial  statement and tax
purposes.

    USE OF ESTIMATES--The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted  accounting  principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions  that affect the reported  amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of  contingent  assets and  liabilities  at the date of the financial
statements,  and the reported  amounts of increases  and decreases in net assets
from operations  during the reporting  period.  Actual results could differ from
those estimates.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES

    The  Corporation  has  entered  into  Management  Agreements  with ACIM that
provides each Fund with investment  advisory and management services in exchange
for a single,  unified management fee per class. The Agreements provide that all
expenses of the Funds, except brokerage commissions,  taxes, interest,  expenses
of those directors who are not considered "interested persons" as defined in the
Investment  Company  Act of 1940  (including  counsel  fees)  and  extraordinary
expenses, will be paid by ACIM. The fee is computed daily and paid monthly based
on each class's average daily closing net assets during the previous month.  The
annual management fee for each class of the Funds is as follows:

</TABLE>

    The Board of Directors has adopted the Advisor Class Master Distribution and
Shareholder  Services Plan (the Plan),  pursuant to Rule 12b-1 of the Investment
Company Act of 1940.  The Plan  provides  that the Funds will pay ACIM an annual
distribution  fee equal to 0.25% and  service  fee equal to 0.25%.  The fees are
computed daily and paid monthly based

on the Advisor  Class's  average  daily  closing net assets  during the previous
month.  The distribution  fee provides  compensation  for distribution  expenses
incurred by financial  intermediaries in connection with distributing  shares of
the Advisor Class including,  but not limited to, payments to brokers,  dealers,
and financial  institutions that have entered into sales agreements with respect
to shares of the Funds.  The service fee provides  compensation  for shareholder
and  administrative  services  rendered by ACIM,  its  affiliates or independent
third party  providers.  Fees  incurred  under the Plan during the period  ended
November 30, 1997, were $20,330 in Strategic Allocation:  Conservative,  $39,088
in  Strategic   Allocation:   Moderate  and  $32,404  in  Strategic  Allocation:
Aggressive.

                         INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

The Board of Directors and Shareholders,
American Century Strategic Assets Allocations, Inc:

  We have  audited  the  accompanying  statements  of  assets  and  liabilities,
including  the  schedules  of  investments,   of  American   Century   Strategic
Allocation:  Conservative,  American Century Strategic Allocation:  Moderate and
American  Century  Stategic  Allocation:  Aggressive  (the "Funds"),  comprising
American Century Strategic Asset Allocations,  Inc. (formerly  Twentieth Century
Strategic  Asset  Allocations,  Inc.),  as of November 30, 1997, and the related
statements of operations and changes in net assets for the year then ended,  and
the financial highlights for the year then ended. These financial statements and
the financial  highlights are the responsibility of the Funds'  management.  Our
responsibility  is to express an opinion on these  financial  statements and the
financial  highlights  based on our audits.  The  financial  statements  and the
financial  highlights of the Funds for the period February 15, 1996  (inception)
through  November 30, 1996 were audited by other  auditors  whose report,  dated
January 3, 1997,  expressed  an  unqualified  opinion  on those  statements  and
financial highlights.

  We  conducted  our  audits in  accordance  with  generally  accepted  auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable  assurance  about whether the financial  statements and the financial
highlights are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a
test basis,  evidence  supporting  the amounts and  disclosures in the financial
statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned at November
30, 1997 by  correspondence  with the custodian,  brokers and, when replies were
not  received,  other  alternate  auditing  procedures.  An audit also  includes
assessing the  accounting  principles  used and  significant  estimates  made by
management,  as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

  In our opinion,  such financial  statements and financial  highlights  present
fairly,  in all material  respects,  the financial  position of American Century
Strategic  Allocation:  Conservative,  American  Century  Strategic  Allocation:
Moderate and American Century Stategic Allocation: Aggressive as of November 30,
1997, the results of their operations,  the changes in their net assets, and the
financial  highlights  for the year  then  ended in  conformity  with  generally
accepted accounting principles.

                                  INFORMATION

SHARE CLASSES

    Until  September 3, 1996, the Strategic  Asset  Allocation  funds issued one
class of fund  shares,  reflecting  the fact that most  investors  bought  their
shares  directly  from  American  Century.  All  investors  paid the same annual
unified management fee and did not pay any commissions or other fees to purchase
shares from American Century.

    Now  more  share   purchases  are  made  by  investors   through   financial
intermediaries  (who ordinarily are compensated for the additional services they
provide).  In September  1996,  American  Century  began to offer two classes of
shares for the Strategic Asset Allocation  funds. One class is for investors who
buy directly  from  American  Century,  the other for  investors who buy through
financial intermediaries.

    The  original  class of  Strategic  Asset  Allocation  shares is called  the
INVESTOR CLASS. All shares issued and outstanding before September 3, 1996, have
been  designated  as Investor  Class shares.  Investor  Class shares may also be
purchased  after September 3, 1996.  Investor Class  shareholders do not pay any
commissions  or other fees for purchase of fund shares  directly  from  American
Century. Investors who buy Investor Class shares through a broker- dealer may be
required to pay the  broker-dealer a transaction  fee. THE PRICE AND PERFORMANCE
OF THE  INVESTOR  CLASS  SHARES  ARE  LISTED IN  NEWSPAPERS.  NO OTHER  CLASS IS
CURRENTLY LISTED.

    In  addition,  there  is an  ADVISOR  CLASS,  which is sold  through  banks,
broker-dealers, insurance companies and financial advisors. Advisor Class shares
are subject to a 0.50% Rule 12b-1 service and distribution fee. Half of that fee
is available to pay for recordkeeping and administrative  services,  and half is
available  to  pay  for   distribution   services   provided  by  the  financial
intermediary  through  which the Advisor Class shares are  purchased.  The total
expense  ratio of the Advisor Class is 0.25% higher than the total expense ratio
of the Investor Class.

    Both  classes  of  shares  represent  a pro rata  interest  in the funds and
generally have the same rights and preferences.

IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR ALL IRA AND 403(B) SHAREHOLDERS

    As required by law,  any  distributions  you receive from an IRA and certain
403(b)  distributions [not eligible for rollover to an IRA or to another 403(b)]
are subject to federal  income tax  withholding  at the rate of 10% of the total
amount withdrawn,  unless you elect not to have withholding  apply. If you don't
want us to withhold on this amount, you may send us a written notice not to have
the federal  income tax  withheld.  Your written  notice is valid for six months
from the date of receipt at American Century.  Even if you plan to roll over the
amount you withdraw to another tax-deferred  account, the withholding rate still
applies to the withdrawn  amount unless we have received a written notice not to
withhold federal income tax within six months prior to the withdrawal.

    When you plan to  withdraw,  you may make your  election by  completing  our
Conversions/  Redemptions  form or an IRS Form W-4P.  Call American  Century for
either form. Your written election is valid for only six months from the date of
receipt at American Century. You may revoke your election at any time by sending
a written notice to us.

    Remember,  even if you elect not to have income tax withheld, you are liable
for paying income tax on the taxable  portion of your  withdrawal.  If you elect
not to have income tax  withheld or you don't have enough  income tax  withheld,
you may be  responsible  for payment of estimated  tax. You may incur  penalties
under the estimated tax rules if your withholding and estimated tax payments are
not sufficient.

                            BACKGROUND INFORMATION

INVESTMENT PHILOSOPHY & POLICIES

    Each  American  Century   Strategic  Asset  Allocation  fund  invests  in  a
diversified  portfolio of stocks,  bonds and money market  securities,  with the
objective of achieving as high a level of total return as is consistent with the
fund's  asset  mix.  The funds  rely on a team  management  approach--groups  of
managers are  responsible  for the ongoing  active  management of the individual
fund components.

    STRATEGIC  ALLOCATION:   CONSERVATIVE  emphasizes  bonds  and  money  market
securities to provide  regular  income and principal  protection.  The fund also
provides the potential for moderate  long-term  growth by investing a portion of
its assets in stocks.

    STRATEGIC ALLOCATION:  MODERATE emphasizes common stocks for their long-term
growth  prospects,  but it  maintains a sizable  stake in bonds and money market
securities to provide some income and increase overall price stability.

    STRATEGIC  ALLOCATION:  AGGRESSIVE  focuses  primarily on common stocks as a
source of long-term  growth,  but it maintains a small  portion of its assets in
bonds and money market  securities  to provide a small amount of income and help
cushion the share price volatility of the stock portion.

COMPARATIVE INDICES

    The indices listed below are used in the report to serve as fund performance
comparisons. They are not investment products available for purchase.

    The S&P 500 INDEX is composed of 500 large-  capitalization stocks traded on
domestic exchanges.  It is considered to be a broad measure of U.S. stock market
performance.

    The LEHMAN AGGREGATE BOND INDEX reflects the price  fluctuations of Treasury
securities,  agency  securities,   corporate  bond  issues  and  mortgage-backed
securities.

    The MORGAN STANLEY EUROPE,  AUSTRALIA,  FAR EAST  (EAFE(reg.tm))  INDEX is a
widely followed group of stocks from 20 different countries.

    The  SALOMON  BROTHERS  NON-U.S.  WORLD  GOVERNMENT  BOND INDEX  consists of
fixed-income government bonds from 13 countries.

    The  THREE-MONTH  TREASURY  BILL  INDEX is  derived  from  secondary  market
interest rates as published by the Federal Reserve Bank.

                                   GLOSSARY

RETURNS

o TOTAL  RETURN  figures  show the overall  percentage  change in the value of a
hypothetical  investment  in  the  fund  and  assume  that  all  of  the  fund's
distributions are reinvested.

o AVERAGE ANNUAL RETURNS  illustrate the annually  compounded returns that would
have produced the fund's cumulative total returns if the fund's  performance had
been  constant  over the  entire  period.  Average  annual  returns  smooth  out
variations  in a fund's  return;  they are not the same as  fiscal  year-by-year
results.  For  fiscal  year-by-year  returns,  please  refer  to the  "Financial
Highlights" on pages 61-63.

STOCK PORTFOLIO STATISTICS

o NUMBER OF  COMPANIES--the  number of different  companies  held by a fund on a
given date.

o DIVIDEND YIELD--a  percentage return calculated by dividing a company's annual
cash dividend by the current market value of the company's stock.

o  PRICE/EARNINGS  RATIO--a  stock value  measurement  calculated  by dividing a
company's stock price by its earnings per share,  with the result expressed as a
multiple instead of a percentage.  (Earnings per share is calculated by dividing
a company's after-tax earnings by its outstanding shares.)

BOND PORTFOLIO STATISTICS

o NUMBER OF SECURITIES--the  number of different  securities held by a fund on a
given date.

o  WEIGHTED  AVERAGE  MATURITY  (WAM)--a  measurement  of the  sensitivity  of a
fixed-income  portfolio to interest rate changes. WAM indicates the average time
until the securities in the portfolio  mature,  weighted by dollar  amount.  The
longer the WAM, the more interest rate  exposure and  sensitivity  the portfolio
has.

o  AVERAGE  DURATION--another  measure  of  the  sensitivity  of a  fixed-income
portfolio to interest rate changes.  Duration is a time-weighted  average of the
interest  and  principal  payments  of the  securities  in a  portfolio.  As the
duration  of a portfolio  increases,  so does the impact of a change in interest
rates on the value of the portfolio.

FIXED-INCOME SECURITY TYPES

o ASSET-BACKED SECURITIES--debt securities that represent ownership in a pool of
receivables, such as credit card debt, auto loans or mortgages.

o CORPORATE  SECURITIES--debt  securities or instruments issued by corporations.
Short-term  corporate  securities  are typically  issued to raise cash and cover
current  expenses  in  anticipation  of  future  revenues;  long-term  corporate
securities  are  issued  to  finance  capital  expenditures,  such as new  plant
construction or equipment purchases.

o FOREIGN GOVERNMENT SECURITIES--debt securities issued or guaranteed by foreign
governments or their political subdivisions. Some of these securities are direct
obligations  of the  issuing  government;  others  are  backed  by some  form of
government sponsorship.

o MORTGAGE-BACKED  SECURITIES--debt securities that represent ownership in pools
of  mortgage   loans.   Most   mortgage-backed   securities  are  structured  as
"pass-throughs"--the monthly payments of principal and interest on the mortgages
in the pool are  collected by the bank that is servicing  the  mortgages and are
"passed through" to investors.  While the payments of principal and interest are
considered  secure (many are backed by government agency  guarantees),  the cash
flow is less certain than in other fixed-income investments.  Mortgages that are
paid off early reduce future interest payments from the pool.

o U.S. GOVERNMENT AGENCY  SECURITIES--debt  securities issued by U.S. government
agencies  (such as the Federal Home Loan Bank and the Federal Farm Credit Bank).
Some  agency  securities  are  backed by the full  faith and  credit of the U.S.
government,  while others are guaranteed only by the issuing agency.  Government
agency  securities  include  discount  notes  (maturing in one year or less) and
medium-term notes, debentures and bonds (maturing in three months to 50 years).

o U.S.  TREASURY  SECURITIES--debt  securities  issued by the U.S.  Treasury and
backed by the direct  "full  faith and  credit"  pledge of the U.S.  government.
Treasury  securities  include  bills  (maturing  in one  year  or  less),  notes
(maturing in two to ten years) and bonds (maturing in more than ten years).
