An Overview of the Funds

What are the funds' investment goals?

These funds are asset  allocation  funds.  They seek  different  proportions  of
regular income and long-term  capital growth by investing in different  mixes of
asset types, such as stocks, bonds and money market instruments.

What are the funds' primary investment strategies and principal risks?

The  following  table  indicates  each  fund's  neutral  mix.  The  neutral  mix
represents  a  benchmark  as to  how a  fund's  investments  generally  will  be
allocated among the major asset classes over the long term.

In selecting  stocks for the equity portion of the funds, the advisor may choose
stocks of U.S.  or  foreign  companies  of any size.  The  advisor  invests  the
fixed-income portion of the funds primarily in investment grade debt securities.

The funds' principal risks include:

                                                                                
o Market Risk        The value of the funds' shares will go up and down based on
                     the performance of the companies  whose  securities it owns
                     and  other  factors   affecting  the   securities   markets
                     generally.                                                 
                     
o Interest Rate Risk When  interest  rates  change,  the  value  of  the  funds'
                     fixed-income securities will be affected.

o Principal Loss     As with all  mutual  funds,  if you sell your  shares  when
                     their value is less than the price you paid,  you will lose
                     money.

1    Based on fund assets as of December  31,  1998.  The funds have stepped fee
     schedules,  and as a result,  the funds' management fees generally decrease
     as fund  assets  increase.  Please  consult  the  Statement  of  Additional
     Information for more details about the funds' management fees.

Information about the Funds

Strategic Allocation:  Conservative
Strategic Allocation:   Moderate
Strategic Allocation:  Aggressive

What are the funds' investment objectives?

The funds are asset allocation funds. That is, they diversify their assets among
various  classes  of  investments  such  as  stocks,   bonds  and  money  market
instruments.  Each fund holds a different mix of these asset types,  which gives
it a distinct risk profile and return potential.

o   Strategic Allocation: Conservative seeks regular income through its emphasis
    on bonds and money market securities. It also has the potential for moderate
    long-term total return as a result of its stake in equity securities.

o   Strategic  Allocation:  Moderate  seeks  long-term  capital growth with some
    regular  income.  It  emphasizes  investments  in  equity  securities,   but
    maintains a sizeable stake in bonds and money market securities.

o   Strategic Allocation: Aggressive seeks long-term capital growth with a small
    amount of  income.  It  emphasizes  investments  in equity  securities,  but
    maintains a portion of its assets in bonds and money market securities.

You should be aware that the names of the three asset  allocation  funds offered
in this  Prospectus  are  intended  to reflect  the  relative  short-term  price
volatility  risk  among  the  funds and not as an  indication  of the  advisor's
assessment  of the  riskiness  of the funds as compared to other  mutual  funds,
including other mutual funds within the American Century family of funds.

How do the funds pursue their investment objectives?

The funds' strategic asset allocation  strategy  diversifies  investments  among
equity securities,  bonds and cash-equivalent  instruments. The funds may invest
in any type of U.S. or foreign  equity  security that meets certain  fundamental
and  technical   standards.   The  fund  advisor  draws  on  growth,  value  and
quantitative  investment techniques in managing the equity portion of the funds'
portfolios and diversifies the funds' equity investments among small, medium and
large companies.

The growth  strategy looks for companies with earnings and revenues that are not
only growing, but growing at a successively faster, or accelerating,  pace. This
strategy  is based on the  premise  that,  over the long  term,  the  stocks  of
companies with  accelerating  earnings and revenues have a  greater-than-average
change to increase  in value.  The value  investment  discipline  seeks  capital
growth by investing in equity securities of well-established  companies that the
funds' managers believe to be temporarily undervalued.  The primary quantitative
management  technique the managers use is portfolio  optimization.  The managers
may   construct  a  portion  of  the  funds'   portfolios   to  match  the  risk
characteristics  of the S&P 500 and then optimize each  portfolio to achieve the
desired balance of risk and return potential.

Although the funds will remain exposed to each of the investment disciplines and
categories  described above, a particular  discipline or investment category may
be  emphasized  when, in the managers'  opinion,  such  discipline or investment
category is undervalued relative to the other disciplines or categories.

The funds also invest in a variety of debt  securities  payable in both U.S. and
foreign currencies.  The funds primarily invest in investment-grade  securities,
that is, securities rated in the four highest  categories by independent  rating
organizations.  However,  Strategic Allocation:  Moderate may invest up to 5% of
its assets,  and Strategic  Allocation:  Aggressive  may invest up to 10% of its
assets,  in  high-yield  securities.  High-yield  securities  are  higher  risk,
non-convertible  debt  obligations  that are rated below  investment  grade. The
funds may also  invest  in  unrated  securities  based on the  funds'  advisor's
assessment of their credit quality. The maturities of fixed-income securities in
which the funds invest are expected to range from two to 30 years.






**********LEFT MARGIN CALLOUTS

*    Fixed-income  securities  are  rated by  nationally  recognized  securities
     ratings  organizations  (SROs), such as Moody's and Standard & Poor's. Each
     SRO has its own  system  for  classifying  securities,  but  each  tries to
     indicate a  company's  ability to make  timely  payments  of  interest  and
     principal.  A detailed  description of SRO's, their ratings system and what
     we do if a security  isn't rated is included in the Statement of Additional
     Information.

**********END LEFT MARGIN CALLOUTS

The  funds  may  invest  the cash  equivalent  portion  of their  portfolios  in
high-quality  money market  investments  (denominated in U.S. dollars or foreign
currencies).

The following  table shows the  operating  ranges in which each fund's asset mix
may vary over short-term periods.  These variations may be due to differences in
asset class performance or prevailing market conditions.

What are the primary risks of investing in the fund?


The value of the funds'  shares  depends on the value of the  stocks,  bonds and
other securities they own.

The value of the individual  equity securities the funds own will go up and down
depending on the  performance of the companies that issued them,  general market
and economic conditions, and investor confidence.

The value of the funds' fixed income  securities  will be affected  primarily by
rising or falling  interest  rates and the  continued  ability of the issuers of
these securities to make payments of interest and principal as they become due.


When interest  rates  change,  the amount of income the fund  generates  will be
affected.  Generally,  when interest  rates rise, the funds income and its share
value will decline. The opposite is true when interest rates decline.

The lowest rated  investment-grade  bonds in which the funds may invest  contain
some speculative  characteristics.  Having those bonds in the funds'  portfolios
means the  funds'  value may go down more if  interest  rates or other  economic
conditions  change than if the funds  contained  only  higher  rated  bonds.  In
addition,  Strategic Allocation:  Moderate and Strategic Allocation:  Aggressive
may invest in higher risk high-yield  securities,  sometimes referred to as junk
bonds.  These securities are considered to be predominantly  speculative and are
more likely to be  negatively  affected  by changes in  interest  rates or other
economic conditions.

As with all funds,  at any given time, the value of your shares of the funds 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.

Although  the  fund  advisor  invests  the  funds'  assets   primarily  in  U.S.
securities,  the funds can invest in  securities of foreign  companies.  Foreign
securities can have certain  unique risks,  including  fluctuations  in currency
exchange rates, unstable political and economic structures, reduced availability
of public information and the lack of uniform financial reporting and regulatory
practices  similar to those  that  apply to U.S.  issuers.  These  factors  make
investing  in  foreign  securities  generally  riskier  than  investing  in U.S.
securities.  To the extent the funds invest in foreign  securities,  the overall
risk of the funds could be affected.

These funds are intended for investors who seek to diversify  their assets among
various  classes  of  investments,  such  as  stocks,  bonds  and  money  market
instruments,  and who are willing to accept the risks associated with the funds'
investment strategies.

Management

Who manages the funds?

The Board of Directors,  investment  advisor and fund  management  team play key
roles in the management of the funds.

The Board of Directors

The Board of Directors  oversees the  management of the funds and meets at least
quarterly  to  review  reports  about  fund  operations.  Although  the Board of
Directors  does not manage the funds,  it has hired an investment  advisor to do
so. More than half of the Directors are independent of the funds' advisor,  that
is, they are not employed by and have no financial interest in the advisor.

The Investment Advisor

The funds' investment  advisor is American Century Investment  Management,  Inc.
The advisor has been  managing  mutual  funds  since 1958.  American  Century is
headquartered at 4500 Main Street, Kansas City, Missouri 64111.

The advisor is responsible  for managing the investment  portfolios of the funds
and directing the purchase and sale of its  investment  securities.  The advisor
also arranges for transfer agency,  custody and all other services necessary for
the funds to operate.

For the services it provided to the funds during their most recent  fiscal year,
the  advisor  received a unified  management  fee based on a  percentage  of the
average net assets of the Investor  Class of shares of each fund.  The amount of
the  management  fee is  calculated  on a  class-by-class  basis  daily and paid
monthly.  Out of that  fee,  the  advisor  paid all  expenses  of  managing  and
operating the fund except brokerage expenses, taxes, interest, fees and expenses
of the independent  directors  (including legal counsel fees) and  extraordinary
expenses.

Management  Fees Paid by the Funds to the Advisor as a Percentage of Average Net
Assets for the Most Recent Fiscal Year Ended November 30, 1998

*    Code of Ethics

     American Century has a Code of Ethics designed to ensure that the interests
     of fund shareholders come before the interests of the people who manage the
     fund.  Among  other  provisions,  the Code of  Ethics  prohibits  portfolio
     managers  and other  investment  personnel  from  buying  securities  in an
     initial public offering or from profiting from the purchase and sale of the
     same  security  within 60 calendar  days.  In addition,  the Code of Ethics
     requires  portfolio managers and other employees with access to information
     about the purchase or sale of  securities  by the funds to obtain  approval
     before executing permitted personal trades.

Fundamental Investment Policies

Fundamental  investment  policies  contained  in  the  Statement  of  Additional
Information  and the  investment  objectives  of the  funds  may not be  changed
without a shareholder vote. The Board of Directors may change any other policies
and investment strategies.

Year 2000 Issues

Many of the world's  computer  systems  currently  cannot properly  recognize or
process date-sensitive information relating to the Year 2000 and beyond. Because
this may impact the computer systems of various American  Century-affiliated and
external service providers for the funds,  American Century formally initiated a
Year 2000  readiness  project in July 1997.  It  involves a team of  information
technology  professionals  assisted  by  outside  consultants  and  guided  by a
senior-level steering committee.  The team's goal is to assess the impact of the
Year 2000 on  American  Century's  systems,  renovate  or  replace  noncompliant
critical systems and test those systems. In addition,  the team has been working
to gather  information  about the Year 2000  efforts of the funds'  other  major
service providers.  Although American Century believes its critical systems will
function  properly in the Year 2000, this is not  guaranteed.  If the efforts of
American  Century or its external  service  providers  are not  successful,  the
funds'  business,  particularly  the provision of shareholder  services,  may be
hampered.

In  addition,  the  issuers  of  securities  the funds own could  have Year 2000
computer  problems.  These problems could  negatively  affect the value of their
securities, which, in turn, could impact the funds' performance. The advisor has
established a process to gather publicly  available  information  about the Year
2000  readiness  of these  issuers.  However,  this  process may not uncover all
relevant  information,  and the  information  gathered  may not be complete  and
accurate.  Moreover, an issuer's Year 2000 readiness is only one of many factors
the fund  managers  may consider  when making  investment  decisions,  and other
factors may receive greater weight.

Minimum Initial Investment Amounts

The following  table shows the minimum initial  investment  required for various
types of accounts:

- -----------------------------------------------------------------------
Individual or Joint                                       $2,500
Traditional IRA                                           $1,000
Roth IRA                                                  $1,000
Education IRA                                               $500
UGMA/UTMA                                                 $1,000
403(b)                                                No minimum

If you  establish an automatic  investment  plan of at least $50 per month,  the
minimum may be waived.

Redemption of shares in low-balance accounts

If your  redemption  activity  causes  your  account  balance  to fall below the
minimum initial  investment  amount,  we will notify you and give you 90 days to
meet the minimum or to establish an automatic monthly investment.  If you do not
meet the  deadline,  American  Century will redeem the shares in the account and
send the proceeds to your address of record.

Special requirements for large redemptions

The funds have elected to be governed by Rule 18f-1 under the Investment Company
Act,  which  obligates  each  fund to make  certain  redemptions  in cash.  This
requirement applies when a shareholder redeems,  during any 90-day period, up to
the lesser of  $250,000  or 1% of the assets of the fund.  Although  we normally
will pay  redemptions  in excess of this  limitation in cash,  American  Century
reserves the right under unusual  circumstances  to honor these  redemptions  in
kind by making payment in whole or in part in readily marketable securities.

If we make payment in securities, we will value the securities,  selected by the
fund,  in the same manner as we do in computing  the fund's net asset value.  We
will provide these  securities to the redeeming  plan  participant  or financial
intermediary  in lieu of cash without prior  notice.  If your  redemption  would
exceed this limit and you would like to avoid being paid in  securities,  please
provide us with an unconditional instruction to redeem at least 15 days prior to
the date on which the redemption  transaction is to occur.  The instruction must
specify the dollar amount or number of shares to be redeemed and the date of the
transaction.  This  minimizes  the effect of the  redemption on the fund and its
remaining shareholders.

While  each  fund   reserves   the  right  to  redeem  fund  shares   through  a
redemption-in-kind,  we do not expect to exercise  this option unless a fund has
an  unusually  low  level of cash to meet  redemptions  and/or  is  experiencing
unusually  strong  demands  for its cash.  Such a demand  might be  caused,  for
example, by extreme market conditions that result in an abnormally high level of
redemption  requests  concentrated  in a short  period of time.  Absent these or
similar circumstances, we expect redemptions in excess of $250,000 to be paid in
cash in any fund with assets of more than $50 million if total  redemptions from
any one account in any 90-day  period do not exceed  one-half of 1% of the total
assets of the fund.

Investing Through Financial Intermediaries

If you do business  with us through a  financial  intermediary  or a  retirement
plan,  your ability to purchase,  exchange and redeem  shares will depend on the
policies of that entity. Some policy differences may include

o minimum investment requirements
o exchange policies
o fund choices
o cut-off time for investments

Please  contact  your  financial  intermediary  or plan  sponsor  for a complete
description  of its policies.  Copies of the funds' annual  reports,  semiannual
reports  and  Statements  of  Additional  Information  are  available  from your
intermediary or plan sponsor.

Certain  financial  intermediaries  perform for their clients  recordkeeping and
administrative  services that would otherwise be performed by American Century's
transfer agent.  In some  circumstances,  American  Century will pay the service
provider a fee for performing those services.

Although  transactions in fund shares may be made directly with American Century
at no charge,  you also may purchase,  redeem and exchange  fund shares  through
financial  intermediaries that charge a transaction-based or other fee for their
services. Those charges are retained by the intermediary and are not shared with
American Century or the funds.

American Century has contracts with certain financial  intermediaries  requiring
them to track  the time  investment  orders  are  received  and to  comply  with
procedures  relating to the  transmission  of orders.  The funds have authorized
those  intermediaries  to accept  orders on each fund's behalf up to the time at
which the net asset value is  determined.  Such orders will be priced at the net

asset value next  determined  after your  request is received in good order on a
fund's behalf.

and investment advisors.

Share Price and Distributions

Share Price

American Century  determines the net asset value of the funds as of the close of
regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange  (usually 4 p.m. Eastern time) on
each day the Exchange is open.  On days when the Exchange is not open, we do not
calculate  the net  asset  value.  The net  asset  value of a fund  share is the
current value of the fund's investments,  minus any liabilities,  divided by the
number of fund shares outstanding.

If current prices of securities  owned by a fund are not readily  available from
an independent  pricing  service,  the advisor may determine their fair value in
accordance with procedures adopted by the fund's Board of Directors.  Trading of
securities  in foreign  markets may not take place on every day the  Exchange is
open.  Also,  trading in some  foreign  markets  may take place on  weekends  or
holidays when the fund's net asset value is not calculated. So, the value of the
fund's  portfolio  may be  affected  on days when you can't  purchase  or redeem
shares of the fund.

We will price your purchase,  exchange or redemption at the net asset value next
determined after we receive your transaction request in good order.

Distributions

Federal tax laws require each fund to make  distributions to its shareholders in
order  to  qualify  as a  "regulated  investment  company."  Qualification  as a
regulated  investment  company means that the funds will not be subject to state
or federal  income  tax on  amounts  distributed.  The  distributions  generally
consist of dividends and interest received, as well as capital gains realized on
the sale of investment  securities.  Each fund generally pays  distributions  of
capital gains, if any, once a year in December.

The funds pay distributions of substantially all of their income quarterly, with
the exception of Strategic Allocation: Aggressive, which pays such distributions
annually.  Distributions  from realized capital gains are generally paid twice a
year,  usually  in  March  and  December.  The  funds  may  make  more  frequent
distributions if necessary to comply with Internal Revenue Code provisions.  The
funds'  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.

Participants in employer-sponsored retirement or savings plans must reinvest all
distributions.  For shareholders  investing  through taxable  accounts,  we will
reinvest  distributions unless you elect to receive them in cash. Please consult
our Investor Services Guide for further information regarding  distributions and
your distribution options.

**********LEFT MARGIN CALLOUTS

The net asset value of the fund is the price of its shares.

Capital gains are increases in value of a capital asset, such as stock, from the
time the assets are purchased. Tax becomes due on capital gains once an asset is
sold.

**********END LEFT MARGIN CALLOUTS





Taxes

The tax  consequences  of  owning  shares of the funds  will vary  depending  on
whether you own them through a taxable or tax-deferred account. Tax consequences
result from  distributions  by a fund of  dividend  and  interest  income it has
received and capital gains it has generated  through its investment  activities,
and by sales of fund shares by investors after the net asset value has increased
or decreased.

Tax-Deferred Accounts

If you purchase fund shares through a tax-deferred  account, such as an IRA or a
qualified  employer-sponsored  retirement  or savings  plan,  income and capital
gains  distributions  usually will not be subject to current taxation,  but will
accumulate in your account  under the plan on a  tax-deferred  basis.  Likewise,
moving  from one fund to  another  fund  within a plan or  tax-deferred  account
generally  will  not  cause  you to be  taxed.  For  information  about  the tax
consequences of making  purchases or withdrawals  through an employer  sponsored
retirement  or  savings  plan,  or  through  an IRA,  please  consult  your plan
administrator, your summary plan description or a professional tax advisor.

Taxable Accounts

If you own fund shares through a taxable account,  distributions by the fund and
sales by you of fund shares may cause you to be taxed.

Taxability of Distributions

Fund distributions may consist of income earned by the fund from sources such as
dividends  and  interest,  or  capital  gains  generated  from  the sale of fund
investments.  Distributions of income are taxed as ordinary income. Distribution
of capital gains are classified  either as short-term or long-term and are taxed
as follows:

<TABLE>
Type of distribution                              Tax rate for 15% bracket             Tax rate for 28% bracket or above
- ------------------------------------------ ---------------------------------------- -----------------------------------------
<S>                                                          <C>                                      <C>
Short-term capital gains                            Ordinary income rate                      Ordinary income rate
Long-term capital gains                                      10%                                      20%
</TABLE>

The tax status of any  distribution  of capital  gains is determined by how long
the fund held the  underlying  security that was sold,  not by how long you have
been  invested  in the  fund or  whether  you  reinvest  your  distributions  in
additional  shares or take them as income.  American Century will detail the tax
status of fund  distributions  for each calendar year in an annual tax statement
from the fund.

Distributions  also may be subject to state and local taxes.  Because everyone's
tax situation is unique,  always  consult your tax  professional  about federal,
state and local tax consequences.

Taxes on Transactions

Your  redemptions -- including  exchanges to other American Century funds -- are
subject to capital  gains tax.  The table above can provide a general  guide for
your potential tax liability when selling or exchanging fund shares.  Short-term
capital  gains are gains on fund  shares  held for 12 months or less.  Long-term
capital  gains are gains on fund  shares  held for more than 12 months.  If your
shares  decrease in value,  their sale or exchange will result in a long-term or
short-term capital loss.

**********LEFT MARGIN CALLOUTS

*    Buying a Dividend

     Purchasing  fund shares in a taxable  account shortly before a distribution
     is sometimes known as buying a dividend. In taxable accounts,  you must pay
     income taxes on the distribution  whether you take the distribution in cash
     or reinvest it. In addition, you will have to pay taxes on the distribution
     whether the value of your investment  decreased,  increased or remained the
     same  after you bought the fund  shares.  The risk in buying a dividend  is
     that a fund's  portfolio may build up taxable gains  throughout  the period
     covered  by  a  distribution,  as  securities  are  sold  at a  profit.  We
     distribute  those gains to you, after  subtracting any losses,  even if you
     did not own the shares when the gains occurred. If you buy a dividend,  you
     incur the full tax liability of the  distribution  period,  but you may not
     enjoy the full benefit of the gains realized in the fund's portfolio.

Multiple Class Information

American  Century  offers two classes of the funds:  Investor  Class and Advisor
Class.  The shares offered by this Prospectus are Investor Class shares and have
no up-front or deferred charges, commissions, or 12b-1 fees.

American  Century offers the Advisor Class of shares  primarily to institutional
investors   or   through   institutional    distribution   channels,   such   as
employer-sponsored retirement plans or through banks, broker-dealers,  insurance
companies or financial  intermediaries.  The Advisor Class has  different  fees,
expenses,  and/or minimum  investment  requirements than the Investor Class. The
difference  in the fee  structures  between  the  classes is the result of their
separate  arrangements  for  shareholder and  distribution  services and not the
result of any difference in amounts  charged by the advisor for core  investment
advisory  services.  Accordingly,  the core investment  advisory expenses do not
vary by  class.  Different  fees  and  expenses  will  affect  performance.  For
additional  information  concerning  the Advisor  Class of shares not offered by
this Prospectus,  call us at 1-800-345-3533 or contact a sales representative or
financial intermediary who offers that class of shares.

Except as  described  below,  all  classes  of  shares of a fund have  identical
voting,  dividend,   liquidation  and  other  rights,  preferences,   terms  and
conditions.  The only  differences  among the various classes are (a) each class
may be subject to different  expenses specific to that class, (b) each class has
a different identifying designation or name, (c) each class has exclusive voting
rights with respect to matters  solely  affecting  such class and (d) each class
may have different exchange privileges.






Financial Highlights

Understanding the Financial Highlights

The tables on the next few pages  itemize  what  contributed  to the  changes in
share  price  during the  period.  They also show the changes in share price for
this period in  comparison  to changes over the last five fiscal years (or less,
if the share class is not five years old).

On a per-share basis, each table includes:

o share price at the beginning of the period
o investment income and capital gains or losses
o distributions of income and capital gains paid to shareholders
o share price at the end of the period

Each table also includes some key statistics for the period:

o Total  Return--the  overall  percentage  of return of the fund,  assuming  the
  reinvestment of all distributions

o Expense Ratio--operating expenses as a percentage of average net assets

o Net Income Ratio--net investment income as a percentage of average net assets

o Portfolio Turnover--the percentage of the fund's buying and selling activity

The Financial  Highlights  for the fiscal years ended November 30, 1997 and 1998
have been audited by Deloitte & Touche LLP, independent  auditors.  Their report
is included in the funds' annual report, which is incorporated by reference into
the Statement of Additional  Information,  and is available upon request.  Prior
years' information was audited by other independent auditors,  whose report also
is incorporated by reference into the Statement of Additional Information.

An Overview of the Funds

What are the funds' investment goals?

These funds are asset  allocation  funds.  They seek  different  proportions  of
regular income and long-term  capital growth by investing in different  mixes of
asset types, such as stocks, bonds and money market instruments.

What are the funds' primary investment strategies and principal risks?

The  following  table  indicates  each  fund's  neutral  mix.  The  neutral  mix
represents  a  benchmark  as to  how a  fund's  investments  generally  will  be
allocated among the major asset classes over the long term.

In selecting  stocks for the equity portion of the funds, the advisor may choose
stocks of U.S.  or  foreign  companies  of any size.  The  advisor  invests  the
fixed-income portion of the funds primarily in investment grade debt securities.

The funds' principal risks include:

o Market Risk           The value of the funds' shares will go up and down based
                        on the performance of the companies whose  securities it
                        owns and other factors affecting the securities  markets
                        generally.

o Interest Rate Risk    When  interest  rates  change,  the value of the  funds'
                        fixed-income securities will be affected.

o Principal Loss        As with all mutual  funds,  if you sell your shares when
                        their  value is less than the  price you paid,  you will
                        lose money.

Who may want to invest in the funds?

The funds may be a good investment if you are

0 seeking funds that combine the potential  for  long-term  capital  growth with
income

0 seeking the  convenience of funds that invest in both equity and  fixed-income
securities

0 comfortable with the risks associated with the funds' investment strategy

0 investing through an IRA or other tax-advantaged retirement plan

Who may not want to invest in the funds?

The funds may not be a good investment if you are

0 not seeking current income from your investment

0 investing for a short period of time

0 uncomfortable with volatility in the value of your investment

     shares  through  broker-dealers,   banks,  insurance  companies  and  other
     financial  intermediaries.  A portion of the fee is used to compensate them
     for ongoing recordkeeping and administrative  services that would otherwise
     be  performed  by an  affiliate  of the  advisor,  and a portion is used to
     compensate  them for  distribution  and  other  shareholder  services.  See

o earn a 5% return each year and

o incur the same operating expenses shown above,

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

Information about the Funds

Strategic Allocation:  Conservative
Strategic Allocation:   Moderate
Strategic Allocation:  Aggressive

What are the funds' investment objectives?

The funds are asset allocation funds. That is, they diversify their assets among
various  classes  of  investments  such  as  stocks,   bonds  and  money  market
instruments.  Each fund holds a different mix of these asset types,  which gives
it a distinct risk profile and return potential.

o     Strategic  Allocation:  Conservative  seeks  regular  income  through  its
      emphasis on bonds and money market  securities.  It also has the potential
      for  moderate  long-term  total  return as a result of its stake in equity
      securities.

o     Strategic  Allocation:  Moderate seeks long-term  capital growth with some
      regular  income.  It  emphasizes  investments  in equity  securities,  but
      maintains a sizeable stake in bonds and money market securities.

o     Strategic  Allocation:  Aggressive  seeks long-term  capital growth with a
      small amount of income.  It emphasizes  investments in equity  securities,
      but  maintains  a  portion  of  its  assets  in  bonds  and  money  market
      securities.

You should be aware that the names of the three asset  allocation  funds offered
in this  Prospectus  are  intended  to reflect  the  relative  short-term  price
volatility  risk  among  the  funds and not as an  indication  of the  manager's
assessment  of the  riskiness  of the funds as compared to other  mutual  funds,
including other mutual funds within the American Century family of funds.

How do the funds pursue their investment objectives?

The funds' strategic asset allocation  strategy  diversifies  investments  among
equity securities,  bonds and cash-equivalent  instruments. The funds may invest
in any type of U.S. or foreign  equity  security that meets certain  fundamental
and  technical   standards.   The  fund  advisor  draws  on  growth,  value  and
quantitative  investment techniques in managing the equity portion of the funds'
portfolios and diversifies the funds' equity investments among small, medium and
large companies.

The growth  strategy looks for companies with earnings and revenues that are not
only growing, but growing at a successively faster, or accelerating,  pace. This
strategy  is based on the  premise  that,  over the long  term,  the  stocks  of
companies with  accelerating  earnings and revenues have a  greater-than-average
change to increase  in value.  The value  investment  discipline  seeks  capital
growth by investing in equity securities of well-established  companies that the
funds' managers believe to be temporarily undervalued.  The primary quantitative
management  technique the managers use is portfolio  optimization.  The managers
may   construct  a  portion  of  the  funds'   portfolios   to  match  the  risk
characteristics  of the S&P 500 and then optimize each  portfolio to achieve the
desired  balance of risk and return  potential.  Although  the funds will remain
exposed to each of the investment  disciplines and categories described above, a
particular  discipline  or investment  category may be  emphasized  when, in the
managers'  opinion,  such  discipline  or  investment  category  is  undervalued
relative to the other disciplines or categories.

**********LEFT MARGIN CALLOUTS

*    Fixed-income  securities  are  rated by  nationally  recognized  securities
     ratings  organizations  (SROs), such as Moody's and Standard & Poor's. Each
     SRO has its own  system  for  classifying  securities,  but  each  tries to
     indicate a  company's  ability to make  timely  payments  of  interest  and
     principal.  A detailed  description of SRO's, their ratings system and what
     we do if a security  isn't rated is included in the Statement of Additional
     Information.

**********END LEFT MARGIN CALLOUTS


The funds also invest in a variety of debt  securities  payable in both U.S. and
foreign currencies.  The funds primarily invest in investment-grade  securities,
that is, securities rated in the four highest  categories by independent  rating
organizations.  However,  Strategic Allocation:  Moderate may invest up to 5% of
its assets,  and Strategic  Allocation:  Aggressive  may invest up to 10% of its
assets,  in  high-yield  securities.  High-yield  securities  are  higher  risk,
non-convertible  debt  obligations  that are rated below  investment  grade. The
funds may also  invest  in  unrated  securities  based on the  funds'  advisor's
assessment of their credit quality. The maturities of fixed-income securities in
which the funds invest are expected to range from two to 30 years.

The  funds  may  invest  the cash  equivalent  portion  of their  portfolios  in
high-quality  money market  investments  (denominated in U.S. dollars or foreign
currencies).

The following  table shows the  operating  ranges in which each fund's asset mix
may vary over short-term periods.  These variations may be due to differences in
asset class performance or prevailing market conditions.

What are the primary risks of investing in the fund?


The value of the funds'  shares  depends on the value of the  stocks,  bonds and
other securities they own.

The value of the individual  equity securities the funds own will go up and down
depending on the  performance of the companies that issued them,  general market
and economic conditions, and investor confidence.

The value of the funds' fixed income  securities  will be affected  primarily by
rising or falling  interest  rates and the  continued  ability of the issuers of
these securities to make payments of interest and principal as they become due.


When interest  rates  change,  the amount of income the fund  generates  will be
affected.  Generally,  when interest  rates rise, the funds income and its share
value will decline. The opposite is true when interest rates decline.

The lowest rated  investment-grade  bonds in which the funds may invest  contain
some speculative  characteristics.  Having those bonds in the funds'  portfolios
means the  funds'  value may go down more if  interest  rates or other  economic
conditions  change than if the funds  contained  only  higher  rated  bonds.  In
addition,  Strategic Allocation:  Moderate and Strategic Allocation:  Aggressive
may invest in higher risk high-yield  securities,  sometimes referred to as junk
bonds.  These securities are considered to be predominantly  speculative and are
more likely to be  negatively  affected  by changes in  interest  rates or other
economic conditions.

As with all funds,  at any given time, the value of your shares of the funds 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.

Although  the  fund  advisor  invests  the  funds'  assets   primarily  in  U.S.
securities,  the funds can invest in  securities of foreign  companies.  Foreign
securities can have certain  unique risks,  including  fluctuations  in currency
exchange rates, unstable political and economic structures, reduced availability
of public information and the lack of uniform financial reporting and regulatory
practices  similar to those  that  apply to U.S.  issuers.  These  factors  make
investing  in  foreign  securities  generally  riskier  than  investing  in U.S.
securities.  To the extent the funds invest in foreign  securities,  the overall
risk of the funds could be affected.

These funds are intended for investors who seek to diversify  their assets among
various  classes  of  investments,  such  as  stocks,  bonds  and  money  market
instruments,  and who are willing to accept the risks associated with the funds'
investment strategies.

Management

Who manages the funds?

The Board of Directors,  investment  advisor and fund  management  team play key
roles in the management of the funds.

The Board of Directors

The Board of Directors  oversees the  management of the funds and meets at least
quarterly  to  review  reports  about  fund  operations.  Although  the Board of
Directors  does not manage the funds,  it has hired an investment  advisor to do
so. More than half of the Directors are independent of the funds' advisor,  that
is, they are not employed by and have no financial interest in the advisor.

The Investment Advisor

The funds' investment  advisor is American Century Investment  Management,  Inc.
The advisor has been  managing  mutual  funds  since 1958.  American  Century is
headquartered at 4500 Main Street, Kansas City, Missouri 64111.

The advisor is responsible  for managing the investment  portfolios of the funds
and directing the purchase and sale of its  investment  securities.  The advisor
also arranges for transfer agency,  custody and all other services necessary for
the funds to operate.

For the services it provided to the funds during their most recent  fiscal year,
the  advisor  received a unified  management  fee based on a  percentage  of the
average  net assets of the Advisor  Class of shares of each fund.  The amount of
the  management  fee is  calculated  on a  class-by-class  basis  daily and paid
monthly.  Out of that  fee,  the  advisor  paid all  expenses  of  managing  and
operating the fund except brokerage expenses, taxes, interest, fees and expenses
of the independent  directors  (including legal counsel fees) and  extraordinary
expenses.

Management  Fees Paid by the Funds to the Advisor as a Percentage of Average Net
Assets for the Most Recent Fiscal Year Ended November 30, 1998

*    Code of Ethics

     American Century has a Code of Ethics designed to ensure that the interests
     of fund shareholders come before the interests of the people who manage the
     fund.  Among  other  provisions,  the Code of  Ethics  prohibits  portfolio
     managers  and other  investment  personnel  from  buying  securities  in an
     initial public offering or from profiting from the purchase and sale of the
     same  security  within 60 calendar  days.  In addition,  the Code of Ethics
     requires  portfolio managers and other employees with access to information
     about the purchase or sale of  securities  by the funds to obtain  approval
     before executing permitted personal trades.

Fundamental Investment Policies

Fundamental  investment  policies  contained  in  the  Statement  of  Additional
Information  and the  investment  objectives  of the  funds  may not be  changed
without a shareholder vote. The Board of Directors may change any other policies
and investment strategies.

Year 2000 Issues

Many of the world's  computer  systems  currently  cannot properly  recognize or
process date-sensitive information relating to the Year 2000 and beyond. Because
this may impact the computer systems of various American  Century-affiliated and
external service providers for the funds,  American Century formally initiated a
Year 2000  readiness  project in July 1997.  It  involves a team of  information
technology  professionals  assisted  by  outside  consultants  and  guided  by a
senior-level steering committee.  The team's goal is to assess the impact of the
Year 2000 on  American  Century's  systems,  renovate  or  replace  noncompliant
critical systems and test those systems. In addition,  the team has been working
to gather  information  about the Year 2000  efforts of the funds'  other  major
service providers.  Although American Century believes its critical systems will
function  properly in the Year 2000, this is not  guaranteed.  If the efforts of
American  Century or its external  service  providers  are not  successful,  the
funds'  business,  particularly  the provision of shareholder  services,  may be
hampered.

In  addition,  the  issuers  of  securities  the funds own could  have Year 2000
computer  problems.  These problems could  negatively  affect the value of their
securities, which, in turn, could impact the funds' performance. The advisor has
established a process to gather publicly  available  information  about the Year
2000  readiness  of these  issuers.  However,  this  process may not uncover all
relevant  information,  and the  information  gathered  may not be complete  and
accurate.  Moreover, an issuer's Year 2000 readiness is only one of many factors
the fund  managers  may consider  when making  investment  decisions,  and other
factors may receive greater weight.






Investing with American Century

Eligibility for Advisor Class Shares

The  Advisor  Class  shares  are  intended  for  purchase  by   participants  in
employer-sponsored retirement or savings plans and for persons purchasing shares
through   broker-dealers,   banks,  insurance  companies  and  other  "financial
intermediaries" that provide various administrative and distribution services.

Investing Through Financial Intermediaries

If you do business  with us through a  financial  intermediary  or a  retirement
plan,  your ability to purchase,  exchange and redeem  shares will depend on the
policies of that entity. Some policy differences may include

o minimum investment requirements
o exchange policies
o fund choices
o cut-off time for investments

Please  contact  your  financial  intermediary  or plan  sponsor  for a complete
description  of its policies.  Copies of the funds' annual  reports,  semiannual
reports  and  Statements  of  Additional  Information  are  available  from your
intermediary or plan sponsor.

Certain  financial  intermediaries  perform for their clients  recordkeeping and
administrative  services that would otherwise be performed by American Century's
transfer agent.  In some  circumstances,  American  Century will pay the service
provider a fee for performing those services.

Although  transactions in fund shares may be made directly with American Century
at no charge,  you also may purchase,  redeem and exchange  fund shares  through
financial  intermediaries that charge a transaction-based or other fee for their
services. Those charges are retained by the intermediary and are not shared with
American Century or the funds.

American Century has contracts with certain financial  intermediaries  requiring
them to track  the time  investment  orders  are  received  and to  comply  with
procedures  relating to the  transmission  of orders.  The funds have authorized
those  intermediaries  to accept  orders on each fund's behalf up to the time at
which the net asset value is  determined.  Such orders will be priced at the net
asset value next  determined  after your  request is received in good order on a
fund's behalf.

Special requirements for large redemptions

The funds have elected to be governed by Rule 18f-1 under the Investment Company
Act,  which  obligates  each  fund to make  certain  redemptions  in cash.  This
requirement applies when a shareholder redeems,  during any 90-day period, up to
the lesser of  $250,000  or 1% of the assets of the fund.  Although  we normally
will pay  redemptions  in excess of this  limitation in cash,  American  Century
reserves the right under unusual  circumstances  to honor these  redemptions  in
kind by making payment in whole or in part in readily marketable securities.

If we make payment in securities, we will value the securities,  selected by the
fund,  in the same manner as we do in computing  the fund's net asset value.  We
will provide these  securities to the redeeming  plan  participant  or financial
intermediary  in lieu of cash without prior  notice.  If your  redemption  would
exceed this limit and you would like to avoid being paid in  securities,  please
provide us with an unconditional instruction to redeem at least 15 days prior to
the date on which the redemption  transaction is to occur.  The instruction must
specify the dollar amount or number of shares to be redeemed and the date of the
transaction.  This  minimizes  the effect of the  redemption on the fund and its
remaining shareholders.

While  each  fund   reserves   the  right  to  redeem  fund  shares   through  a
redemption-in-kind,  we do not expect to exercise  this option unless a fund has
an  unusually  low  level of cash to meet  redemptions  and/or  is  experiencing
unusually  strong  demands  for its cash.  Such a demand  might be  caused,  for
example, by extreme market conditions that result in an abnormally high level of
redemption  requests  concentrated  in a short  period of time.  Absent these or
similar circumstances, we expect redemptions in excess of $250,000 to be paid in
cash in any fund with assets of more than $50 million if total  redemptions from
any one account in any 90-day  period do not exceed  one-half of 1% of the total
assets of the fund.

and investment advisors.

Share Price and Distributions

Share Price

American Century  determines the net asset value of the funds as of the close of
regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange  (usually 4 p.m. Eastern time) on
each day the Exchange is open.  On days when the Exchange is not open, we do not
calculate  the net  asset  value.  The net  asset  value of a fund  share is the
current value of the fund's investments,  minus any liabilities,  divided by the
number of fund shares outstanding.

If current prices of securities  owned by a fund are not readily  available from
an independent  pricing  service,  the advisor may determine their fair value in
accordance with procedures adopted by the fund's Board of Directors.  Trading of
securities  in foreign  markets may not take place on every day the  Exchange is
open.  Also,  trading in some  foreign  markets  may take place on  weekends  or
holidays when the fund's net asset value is not calculated. So, the value of the
fund's  portfolio  may be  affected  on days when you can't  purchase  or redeem
shares of the fund.

We will price your purchase,  exchange or redemption at the net asset value next
determined after we receive your transaction request in good order.

It is the responsibility of your plan recordkeeper or financial  intermediary to
transmit your purchase,  exchange and redemption  requests to the funds transfer
agent prior to the  applicable  cut-off  time for  receiving  orders and to make
payment for any purchase  transactions in accordance with the funds'  procedures
or any  contractual  arrangements  with the funds or the funds'  distributor  in
order for you to receive that day's price.

We have contractual relationships with certain financial intermediaries in which
such intermediaries  represent that they have systems to track the time at which
investment  orders are received and to  segregate  orders  received at different
times.  Based  on  these   representations,   the  funds  have  authorized  such
intermediaries  and their designees to accept purchase and redemption  orders on
the funds' behalf up to the applicable cut-off time. The funds will be deemed to
have received such orders upon acceptance by the duly  authorized  intermediary,
and such  orders  will be priced at the funds' net asset  value next  determined
after acceptance on the funds' behalf by such intermediary.

Distributions

Federal tax laws require each fund to make  distributions to its shareholders in
order  to  qualify  as a  "regulated  investment  company."  Qualification  as a
regulated  investment  company means that the funds will not be subject to state
or federal  income  tax on  amounts  distributed.  The  distributions  generally
consist of dividends and interest received, as well as capital gains realized on
the sale of investment  securities.  Each fund generally pays  distributions  of
capital gains, if any, once a year in December.

The funds pay distributions of substantially all of their income quarterly, with
the exception of Strategic Allocation: Aggressive, which pays such distributions
annually.  Distributions  from  realized  capital  gains are paid  twice a year,
usually in March and  December.  They may make more  frequent  distributions  if
necessary to comply with Internal Revenue Code Provisions.  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.

Participants in employer-sponsored retirement or savings plans must reinvest all
distributions.  For shareholders  investing  through taxable  accounts,  we will
reinvest  distributions unless you elect to receive them in cash. Please consult
our Investor Services Guide for further information regarding  distributions and
your distribution options.

**********LEFT MARGIN CALLOUTS

The net asset value of the fund is the price of its shares.

Capital gains are increases in value of a capital asset, such as stock, from the
time the assets are purchased. Tax becomes due on capital gains once an asset is
sold.

**********END LEFT MARGIN CALLOUTS





Taxes

The tax  consequences  of  owning  shares of the funds  will vary  depending  on
whether you own them through a taxable or tax-deferred account. Tax consequences
result from  distributions  by a fund of  dividend  and  interest  income it has
received and capital gains it has generated  through its investment  activities,
and by sales of fund shares by investors after the net asset value has increased
or decreased.

Tax-Deferred Accounts

If you purchase fund shares through a tax-deferred  account, such as an IRA or a
qualified  employer-sponsored  retirement  or savings  plan,  income and capital
gains  distributions  usually will not be subject to current taxation,  but will
accumulate in your account  under the plan on a  tax-deferred  basis.  Likewise,
moving  from one fund to  another  fund  within a plan or  tax-deferred  account
generally  will  not  cause  you to be  taxed.  For  information  about  the tax
consequences of making  purchases or withdrawals  through an employer  sponsored
retirement  or  savings  plan,  or  through  an IRA,  please  consult  your plan
administrator, your summary plan description or a professional tax advisor.

Taxable Accounts

If you own fund shares through a taxable account,  distributions by the fund and
sales by you of fund shares may cause you to be taxed.

Taxability of Distributions

Fund distributions may consist of income earned by the fund from sources such as
dividends  and  interest,  or  capital  gains  generated  from  the sale of fund
investments.  Distributions of income are taxed as ordinary income. Distribution
of capital gains are classified  either as short-term or long-term and are taxed
as follows:

<TABLE>
Type of distribution                              Tax rate for 15% bracket             Tax rate for 28% bracket or above
- ------------------------------------------ ---------------------------------------- -----------------------------------------
<S>                                                          <C>                                      <C>
Short-term capital gains                            Ordinary income rate                      Ordinary income rate
Long-term capital gains                                      10%                                      20%
</TABLE>

The tax status of any  distribution  of capital  gains is determined by how long
the fund held the  underlying  security that was sold,  not by how long you have
been  invested  in the  fund or  whether  you  reinvest  your  distributions  in
additional  shares or take them as income.  American Century will detail the tax
status of fund  distributions  for each calendar year in an annual tax statement
from the fund.

Distributions  also may be subject to state and local taxes.  Because everyone's
tax situation is unique,  always  consult your tax  professional  about federal,
state and local tax consequences.

Taxes on Transactions

Your  redemptions -- including  exchanges to other American Century funds -- are
subject to capital  gains tax.  The table above can provide a general  guide for
your potential tax liability when selling or exchanging fund shares.  Short-term
capital  gains are gains on fund  shares  held for 12 months or less.  Long-term
capital  gains are gains on fund  shares  held for more than 12 months.  If your
shares  decrease in value,  their sale or exchange will result in a long-term or
short-term capital loss.

*    Buying a Dividend

     Purchasing  fund shares in a taxable  account shortly before a distribution
     is sometimes known as buying a dividend. In taxable accounts,  you must pay
     income taxes on the distribution  whether you take the distribution in cash
     or reinvest it. In addition, you will have to pay taxes on the distribution
     whether the value of your investment  decreased,  increased or remained the
     same  after you bought the fund  shares.  The risk in buying a dividend  is
     that a fund's  portfolio may build up taxable gains  throughout  the period
     covered  by  a  distribution,  as  securities  are  sold  at a  profit.  We
     distribute  those gains to you, after  subtracting any losses,  even if you
     did not own the shares when the gains occurred. If you buy a dividend,  you
     incur the full tax liability of the  distribution  period,  but you may not
     enjoy the full benefit of the gains realized in the fund's portfolio.

Multiple Class Information

American  Century  offers two classes of the funds:  Investor  Class and Advisor
Class.  The shares  offered by this  Prospectus are Advisor Class shares and are
offered primarily to institutional investors, through institutional distribution
channels,  such  as  employer-sponsored  retirement  plans,  or  through  banks,
broker-dealers and insurance companies.

American Century offers another class of shares that has no up-front or deferred
charges,  commissions  or 12b-1  fees.  The  other  class  has  different  fees,
expenses,  and/or minimum  investment  requirements  than the Advisor Class. The
difference  in the fee  structures  among  the  classes  is the  result of their
separate  arrangements  for  shareholder and  distribution  services and not the
result of any difference in amounts  charged by the advisor for core  investment
advisory  services.  Accordingly,  the core investment  advisory expenses do not
vary by  class.  Different  fees  and  expenses  will  affect  performance.  For
additional  information concerning the other class of shares not offered by this
Prospectus,  call us at  1-800-345-3533  or  contact a sales  representative  or
financial intermediary who offers those classes of shares.

Except as  described  below,  all  classes  of  shares of a fund have  identical
voting,  dividend,   liquidation  and  other  rights,  preferences,   terms  and
conditions.  The only  differences  among the various classes are (a) each class
may be subject to different  expenses specific to that class, (b) each class has
a different identifying designation or name, (c) each class has exclusive voting
rights with respect to matters solely  affecting such class,  and (d) each class
may have different exchange privileges.


Service and Distribution Fees

Investment Company Act Rule 12b-1 permits mutual funds that adopt a written plan
to pay out of fund assets certain  expenses  associated with the distribution of
their shares. The funds' Advisor Class shares have a 12b-1 Plan. Under the Plan,
each  fund  pays an  annual  fee of  0.50%  of fund  assets,  half  for  certain
shareholder and administrative  services and half for distribution services. The
advisor,  as paying  agent for the funds,  pays all or a portion of such fees to
the  banks,  broker-dealers  and  insurance  companies  that  make  such  shares
available.  Because  these fees are paid out of the funds' assets on an on-going
basis,  over time these fees will increase the cost of your  investment  and may
cost  you  more  than  paying  other  types of  sales  charges.  For  additional
information about the Plan and its terms, see "Multiple Class Structure - Master
Distribution  and  Shareholder  Services  Plan" in the  Statement of  Additional
Information.





Financial Highlights

Understanding the Financial Highlights

The tables on the next few pages  itemize  what  contributed  to the  changes in
share price  during the  period.  They also shows the changes in share price for
this period in comparison to change over the last five fiscal years (or less, if
the share class is not five years old).

On a per-share basis, each table includes:

o share price at the beginning of the period
o investment income and capital gains or losses
o distributions of income and capital gains paid to shareholders
o share price at the end of the period

Each table also includes some key statistics for the period:

o Total  Return--the  overall  percentage  of return of the fund,  assuming  the
  reinvestment of all distributions

o Expense Ratio--operating expenses as a percentage of average net assets

o Net Income Ratio--net investment income as a percentage of average net assets

o Portfolio Turnover--the percentage of the fund's buying and selling activity

The Financial  Highlights  for the fiscal years ended November 30, 1997 and 1998
have been audited by Deloitte & Touche LLP, independent  auditors.  Their report
is included in the funds' annual report, which is incorporated by reference into
the Statement of Additional  Information,  and is available upon request.  Prior
years' information was audited by other independent auditors,  whose report also
is incorporated by reference into the Statement of Additional Information.

Performance Information of the Other Class

The following  financial  information is provided to show the performance of the
funds' original class of shares.  This class,  the Investor  Class,  has a total
expense ratio that is 0.25% lower than the Advisor  Class.  If the Advisor Class
existed  during the periods  presented,  its  performance  would have been lower
because of the additional expense.

This table  itemizes what  contributed  to the changes in share price during the
period,  and compares  this to changes over the last five fiscal years (or less,
if the share class is not five years old).

On a per-share basis, it includes:

o share price at the beginning of the period
o investment income and capital gains or losses
o distributions of income and capital gains paid to shareholders
o share price at the end of the period

It also includes some key statistics for the period:

o total  return--the  overall  percentage  of return of the fund,  assuming  the

o net income ratio--net investment income as a percentage of average net assets

o portfolio turnover--the percentage of the fund's buying and selling activity

THE FUNDS' HISTORY

American  Century  Strategic Asset  Allocations,  Inc. is a registered  open-end
management  investment  company that was organized as a Maryland  corporation on
April 4,  1994.  Prior to January 1,  1997,  it was known as  Twentieth  Century
Strategic  Asset  Allocations,  Inc.  Throughout  this  Statement of  Additional
Information,  we refer to American  Century  Strategic Asset  Allocations as the
corporation.

Each fund  described in this  Statement of Additional  Information is a separate
series  of the  corporation  and  operates  for many  purposes  as if it were an
independent  company.  Each  fund has its own  investment  objective,  strategy,
management team, assets, tax identification and stock registration number.

FUND INVESTMENT GUIDELINES

This section  explains the extent to which the funds' advisor,  American Century
Investment Management,  Inc., can use various investment vehicles and strategies
in managing a fund's assets. Descriptions of the investment techniques and risks
associated with each appear in the section,  "Investment  Strategies and Risks,"
which  begins  on page  XX.  In the  case  of the  funds'  principal  investment
strategies,  these  descriptions  elaborate  upon  discussions  contained in the
Prospectus.

Each  fund is a  diversified  open-end  investment  company  as  defined  in the
Investment Company Act of 1940 (the Investment  Company Act).  Diversified means
that,  with respect to 75% of its total  assets,  each fund will not invest more
than 5% of its total assets in the securities of a single issuer.

To meet federal tax  requirements for  qualification  as a regulated  investment
company,  each fund  must  limit  its  investments  so that at the close of each
quarter  of its  taxable  year (1) no more  than  25% of its  total  assets  are
invested in the  securities of a single issuer (other than the U.S government or
a regulated  investment  company),  and (2) with  respect to at least 50% of its
total assets, no more than 5% of its total assets are invested in the securities
of a single issuer.

In general,  within the restrictions outlined here and in the funds' Prospectus,
the advisor has broad powers to decide how to invest fund assets,  including the
power to hold them uninvested.

Investments are varied according to what is judged  advantageous  under changing
economic conditions. It is the advisor's policy to retain maximum flexibility in
management without restrictive provisions as to the proportion of one or another
class of securities  that may be held,  subject to the  investment  restrictions
described in the funds' Prospectus and below.

As described in the funds'  Prospectus,  each fund's assets are allocated  among
major asset  classes  according to its  respective  asset mix and subject to the
applicable  operating range.  Each fund's assets are further  diversified  among
various investment categories and disciplines within the major asset classes.

The equity portion of a fund's portfolio may be invested in any type of domestic
or foreign equity or equity equivalent  security,  primarily common stocks, that
meets  certain  fundamental  and  technical   standards  of  selection.   Equity
equivalents  include  securities  that  permit  the fund to  receive  an  equity
interest  in an issuer,  the  opportunity  to acquire an equity  interest  in an
issuer,  or the  opportunity to receive a return on its investment  that permits
the fund to  benefit  from the  growth  over time in the  equity  of an  issuer.
Examples of equity  securities and equity  equivalents  include preferred stock,
convertible preferred stock and convertible debt securities.  Equity equivalents
may also include  securities  whose value or return is derived from the value or
return of a different security.  Depositary receipts,  which are described below
under  the  heading  "FOREIGN  SECURITIES,  " are  an  example  of the  type  of
derivative security in which the funds might invest.  Derivative  securities are
discussed in greater detail below under the heading "DERIVATIVE SECURITIES."

The funds'  managers  utilize  several  investment  disciplines  in managing the
equity  portion  of  each  fund's  portfolio,   including   growth,   value  and
quantitative  management  strategies.  The  growth  discipline  seeks  long-term
capital appreciation by investing in companies whose earnings and revenue trends
meet the  advisor's  standards  of  selection,  which  generally  means that the
companies have demonstrated,  or, in the managers'  opinion,  have the prospects
for  demonstrating,  accelerating  earnings  and  revenues  as compared to prior
period  and/or  industry  competitors.  The value  investment  discipline  seeks
capital growth by investing in equity securities of  well-established  companies
that the managers believe to be temporarily undervalued.

The advisor believes that both value investing and growth investing  provide the
potential for  appreciation  over time.  Value  investing  tends to provide less
volatile  results.  This lower  volatility  means that the price of value stocks
tends  not to fall as  significantly  as the  price  of  growth  stocks  in down
markets.  However,  value stocks do not usually  appreciate as  significantly as
growth  stocks do in up markets.  In keeping with the  diversification  theme of
these  funds,  and as a result of  management's  belief  that  these  styles are
complementary,  both  disciplines  will be  represented  to some  degree in each
portfolio at all times.

As noted,  the value  investment  discipline  tends to be less volatile than the
growth style. As a result,  Strategic  Allocation:  Conservative  will generally
have a higher  proportion  of its equity  investments  in value  stocks than the
other two funds. Likewise, Strategic Allocation:  Aggressive will generally have
a greater proportion of growth stocks than either Strategic Allocation: Moderate
or Strategic Allocation: Conservative.

In  addition,  the  equity  portion  of each  fund's  portfolio  will be further
diversified  among small,  medium and large  companies.  This approach  provides
investors with an additional level of  diversification  and enables investors to
achieve a broader exposure to the various  capitalization  ranges without having
to invest in multiple funds.

The funds'  managers  may also apply  quantitative  management  techniques  to a
portion of each fund's  portfolio.  These  techniques  combine  elements of both
growth  and  value  investing  and are  intended  to reduce  overall  volatility
relative  to  the  market.   Quantitative  management  combines  two  investment
management approaches. The first is active management, which allows the managers
to select  investments  for a fund without  reference to an index or  investment
model. The second is indexing, in which the managers try to match a portion of a
fund's portfolio composition to that of a particular index.

The primary  quantitative  management  technique  the  managers use is portfolio
optimization. The managers construct a portion of the funds' portfolios to match
the risk  characteristics  of the S&P 500 and then  optimize  each  portfolio to
achieve the desired balance of risk and return potential.

Although the funds will remain exposed to each of the investment disciplines and
categories  described above, a particular  discipline or investment category may
be  emphasized  when, in the managers'  opinion,  such  discipline or investment
category is undervalued relative to the other disciplines or categories.

The fixed  income  portion of a fund's  portfolio  will  include  U.S.  Treasury
securities,  securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or a foreign
government, or an agency or instrumentality of the U.S. or a foreign government,
and non-convertible debt obligations issued by U.S. or foreign corporations. The
funds may also invest in  mortgage-related  and other  asset-backed  securities,
which are described in greater  detail under the heading  "MORTGAGE-RELATED  AND
OTHER  ASSET-BACKED  SECURITIES."  As  with  the  equity  portion  of  a  fund's
portfolio,  the bond portion of a fund's portfolio will be diversified among the
various  types  of fixed  income  investment  categories  described  above.  The
managers'  strategy is to actively  manage the portfolio by investing the fund's
assets in sectors they believe are  undervalued  (relative to the other sectors)
and that represent better relative long-term investment opportunities.

The value of fixed  income  securities  fluctuates  based on changes in interest
rates and in the credit  quality of the issuer.  Debt  securities  that comprise
part of a fund's fixed income  portfolio will primarily be limited to investment
grade obligations.  However, Strategic Allocation:  Moderate may invest up to 5%
of its assets, and Strategic Allocation:  Aggressive may invest up to 10% of its
assets, in "high yield"  securities.  Investment grade means that at the time of
purchase,  such  obligations  are rated within the four highest  categories by a
nationally recognized statistical rating organization [for example, at least Baa
by Moody's  Investors  Service,  Inc.  ("Moody's")  or BBB by  Standard & Poor's
Corporation ("S&P")],  or, if not rated, are of equivalent investment quality as
determined  by  the  managers.   According  to  Moody's,  bonds  rated  Baa  are
medium-grade and possess some speculative  characteristics.  A BBB rating by S&P
indicates S&P's belief that a security exhibits a satisfactory  degree of safety
and  capacity  for  repayment,  but  is  more  vulnerable  to  adverse  economic
conditions and changing circumstances.

High yield securities,  sometimes  referred to as "junk bonds," are higher risk,
non-convertible   debt   obligations  that  are  rated  below  investment  grade
securities, or are unrated, but with similar credit quality.

There are no credit or maturity  restrictions on the fixed income  securities in
which  the high  yield  portion  of a fund's  portfolio  may be  invested.  Debt
securities rated lower than Baa by Moody's or BBB by S&P or their equivalent are
considered  by  many  to  be  predominantly  speculative.  Changes  in  economic
conditions or other circumstances are more likely to lead to a weakened capacity
to make principal and interest payments on such securities than is the case with
higher quality debt securities. Regardless of rating levels, all debt securities
considered  for purchase by the fund are analyzed by the managers to  determine,
to the extent  reasonably  possible,  that the planned  investment is consistent
with the investment objective of the fund.

Under normal market  conditions,  the  maturities of fixed income  securities in
which the funds invest will range from 2 to 30 years.

The  cash  equivalent   portion  of  a  fund's  portfolio  may  be  invested  in
high-quality  money market  instruments  (denominated in U.S. dollars or foreign
currencies), including U.S. government obligations,  obligations of domestic and
foreign banks, short-term corporate debt instruments and repurchase agreements.

Within each asset class,  each fund's  holdings will be invested across industry
groups  and  issuers  that  meet its  investment  criteria.  This  diversity  of
investment is intended to help reduce the risk created by  over-concentration in
a particular industry or issuer.

The funds are "strategic"  rather than "tactical"  allocation funds, which means
that the  managers do not try to time the market to identify the exact time when
a major reallocation should be made. Instead, the managers utilize a longer-term
approach in pursuing the funds' investment  objectives,  and thus select a blend
of investments in the various asset classes.

The managers  regularly  review each fund's  investments and allocations and may
make changes in the securities  holdings  within each asset class or to a fund's
asset mix (within the defined  operating  ranges) to favor investments that they
believe  will  provide  the  most  favorable  outlook  for  achieving  a  fund's
objective.  Recommended  reallocations  may be  implemented  promptly  or may be
implemented  gradually.  In order to minimize the impact of  reallocations  on a
fund's  performance,  the managers will generally  attempt to reallocate  assets
gradually.

In determining the allocation of assets among U.S. and foreign capital  markets,
the  managers  consider  the  condition  and  growth  potential  of the  various
economies;  the relative valuations of the markets; and social,  political,  and
economic factors that may affect the markets.

In selecting  securities in foreign  currencies,  the managers  consider,  among
other factors,  the impact of foreign exchange rates relative to the U.S. dollar
value of such  securities.  The  managers  may seek to hedge  all or a part of a
fund's foreign  currency  exposure  through the use of forward foreign  currency
contracts or options thereon.

The funds attempt to diversity across asset classes and investment categories to
a greater extent than mutual funds that invest primarily in equity securities or
primarily in fixed  income  securities.  However,  the funds are designed to fit
three  general  risk  profiles  and may not  provide an  appropriately  balanced
investment plan for all investors.

DETAILED INFORMATION ABOUT THE FUNDS
INVESTMENT STRATEGIES AND RISKS

In  addition  to  investing  in  common  stocks,   bonds  and  cash   equivalent
instruments,  the funds' managers may also use the various  investment  vehicles
and  techniques  described in this section in managing the funds'  assets.  This
section  also details the risks  associated  with each,  because each  technique
contributes to a fund's overall risk profile.

FOREIGN SECURITIES

Each fund may invest in the securities  (including  debt  securities) of foreign
issuers, including foreign governments and their agencies, when these securities
meet its  standards of selection.  The advisor  defines  "foreign  issuer" as an
issuer of securities  that is domiciled  outside the United  States,  derives at
least 50% of its total  revenue  from  production  or sales  outside  the United
States,  and/or whose  principal  trading  market is outside the United  States.
Securities  of  foreign  issuers  may trade in the U.S.  or  foreign  securities
markets.

The chart  below  shows the  portion of each  fund's  total  assets  that may be
invested in the securities of foreign issuers.

                                                 INVESTED IN FOREIGN SECURITIES
- ----------------------------------------- --------------------------------------

- ----------------------------------------- --------------------------------------
Strategic Allocation:  Moderate           10-30%
- ----------------------------------------- --------------------------------------
- ----------------------------------------- --------------------------------------
Strategic Allocation:  Aggressive         15-35%
- ----------------------------------------- --------------------------------------

The funds may make such  investments  either  directly in foreign  securities or
indirectly by  purchasing  depositary  receipts or depositary  shares of similar
instruments ("depositary receipts") for foreign securities.  Depositary receipts
are  securities  that  are  listed  on  exchanges  or  quoted  in  the  domestic
over-the-counter  markets  in  one  country  but  represent  shares  of  issuers
domiciled in another country.  Direct  investments in foreign  securities may be
made either on foreign securities exchanges or in the over-the-counter markets.

Subject to its investment objective and policies, each fund may invest in common
stocks,  convertible  securities,  preferred stocks, bonds, notes and other debt
securities of foreign  issuers and debt  securities of foreign  governments  and
their  agencies.  The credit  quality  standards  applicable  to  domestic  debt
securities  purchased by each fund are also applicable to its foreign securities
investments.  The  funds  will  limit  their  purchase  of  debt  securities  to
investment-grade obligations.

Investments in foreign  securities may present  certain risks,  including  those
resulting from  fluctuations in currency  exchange rates,  future  political and
economic  developments,  clearance and settlement risk, reduced  availability of
public information concerning issuers, and the fact that foreign issuers are not
generally  subject to  uniform  accounting,  auditing  and  financial  reporting
standards or to other regulatory practices and requirements  comparable to those
applicable to domestic issuers.

Because most foreign  securities  are  denominated in non-U.S.  currencies,  the
investment  performance  of the fund  could be  affected  by  changes in foreign
currency  exchange  rates.  The value of a fund's assets  denominated in foreign
currencies will increase or decrease in response to fluctuations in the value of
those foreign  currencies  relative to the U.S. dollar.  Currency exchange rates
can be  volatile  at times in  response  to supply  and  demand in the  currency
exchange markets, international balances of payments, governmental intervention,
speculation, and other political and economic conditions.

Each fund may purchase and sell foreign  currency on a spot basis and may engage
in forward currency  contracts,  currency  options and futures  transactions for
hedging or any other lawful purpose. (See "DERIVATIVE SECURITIES" on page XX.)

INVESTING IN EMERGING MARKET COUNTRIES

Strategic Allocation: Moderate and Strategic Allocation: Aggressive may invest a
minority  portion of their  international  holdings in  securities of issuers in
emerging market  (developing)  countries.  The funds consider  "emerging  market
countries"  to include all  countries  that are  considered by the advisor to be
developing or emerging countries.  Currently, the countries not included in this
category for the funds are the United States, Canada, Japan, the United Kingdom,
Germany, Austria, France, Hong Kong, Italy, Ireland,  Singapore, Spain, Belgium,
the Netherlands,  Switzerland,  Sweden, Finland, Norway, Denmark,  Australia and
New Zealand. In addition,  as used in this Statement of Additional  Information,
"securities  of issuers in emerging  market  countries"  means (i) securities of
issuers the principal  securities trading market for which is an emerging market
country or (ii)  securities of issuers having their  principal place of business
or principal office in an emerging market country.

Investing  in  securities  of  issuers in  emerging  market  countries  involves
exposure to significantly higher risk than investing in countries with developed
markets.  Emerging  market  countries  may  have  economic  structures  that are
generally less diverse and mature, and political systems that can be expected to
be less stable than those of developed countries.  Securities prices in emerging
market countries can be significantly more volatile than in developed countries,
reflecting the greater  uncertainties of investing in lesser  developed  markets
and economies.  In particular,  emerging  market  countries may have  relatively
unstable governments, and may present the risk of nationalization of businesses,
expropriation,  confiscatory  taxation  or in certain  instances,  reversion  to
closed-market,  centrally planned  economies.  Such countries may also have less
protection of property rights than developed countries.

The economies of emerging market countries may be predominantly  based on only a
few industries or may be dependent on revenues from particular commodities or on
international  aid or  developmental  assistance,  may be highly  vulnerable  to
changes in local or global  trade  conditions,  and may suffer from  extreme and
volatile debt burdens or inflation  rates.  In addition,  securities  markets in
emerging market  countries may trade a relatively small number of securities and
may be unable to respond effectively to increases in trading volume, potentially
resulting in a lack of liquidity  and in  volatility  in the price of securities
traded on those markets.  Also,  securities markets in emerging market countries
typically offer less regulatory protection for investors.

MORTGAGE-RELATED AND OTHER ASSET-BACKED SECURITIES

The funds may  purchase  mortgage-related  and  other  asset-backed  securities.
Mortgage  pass-through  securities  are  securities  representing  interests  in
"pools" of mortgages  in which  payments of both  interest and  principal on the
securities  are generally  made monthly,  in effect  "passing  through"  monthly
payments made by the individual borrowers on the residential mortgage loans that
underlie  the  securities  (net of fees paid to the issuer or  guarantor  of the
securities).

Early repayment of principal on mortgage  pass-through  securities (arising from
prepayments of principal due to sale of the underlying property, refinancing, or
foreclosure,  net of fees and costs which may be incurred)  may expose the funds
to a lower rate of return upon  reinvestment  of principal.  Also, if a security
subject to prepayment  were purchased at a premium,  in the event of prepayment,
the value of the premium would be lost. Like other fixed-income securities, when
interest rates rise,  the value of a  mortgage-related  security  generally will
decline;  however,  when interest rates decline,  the value of  mortgage-related
securities  with  prepayment   features  may  not  increase  as  much  as  other
fixed-income securities.

Payment of principal and interest on some mortgage pass-through  securities (but
not the market value of the securities themselves) may be guaranteed by the full
faith and credit of the U.S. government, as in the case of securities guaranteed
by the  Government  National  Mortgage  Association  (GNMA),  or  guaranteed  by
agencies  or  instrumentalities  of  the  U.S.  government,  as in the  case  of
securities guaranteed by the Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA) or the
Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (FHLMC),  which are supported only by the
discretionary  authority  of  the  U.S.  government  to  purchase  the  agency's
obligations.

Mortgage  pass-through  securities created by non-governmental  issuers (such as
commercial  banks,  savings and loan  institutions,  private mortgage  insurance
companies, mortgage bankers and other secondary market issuers) may be supported
by various forms of insurance or guarantees,  including  individual loan, title,
pool and  hazard  insurance  and  letters  of  credit,  which  may be  issued by
governmental entities, private insurers, or the mortgage poolers.

The funds may also invest in collateralized  mortgage  obligations  (CMOs). CMOs
are mortgage-backed  securities issued by government  agencies;  single-purpose,
stand-alone   financial   subsidiaries;    trusts   established   by   financial
institutions; or similar institutions. The funds may buy CMOs that:

*    are  collateralized by pools of mortgages in which payment of principal and
     interest of each mortgage is guaranteed by an agency or  instrumentality of
     the U.S. government;

*    are  collateralized by pools of mortgages in which payment of principal and
     interest are guaranteed by the issuer,  and the guarantee is collateralized
     by U.S. government securities; and

*    are  securities in which the proceeds of the issue are invested in mortgage
     securities  and  payments of principal  and  interest are  supported by the
     credit of an agency or instrumentality of the U.S. government.

FORWARD CURRENCY EXCHANGE CONTRACTS

The funds conduct their foreign currency exchange  transactions either on a spot
(i.e.,  cash) basis at the spot rate prevailing in the foreign currency exchange
market, or through entering into forward foreign currency exchange  contracts to
purchase or sell foreign currencies.

The funds expect to use forward contracts under two circumstances:

(1)      When a fund's  managers  wish to "lock in" the U.S.  dollar  price of a
         security when the fund is purchasing or selling a security  denominated
         in a foreign  currency,  the fund would be able to enter into a forward
         contract to do so; or

(2)      When a fund's  managers  believe  that  the  currency  of a  particular
         foreign  country  may suffer a  substantial  decline  against  the U.S.
         dollar, the fund would be able to enter into a forward contract to sell
         foreign currency for a fixed U.S. dollar amount approximating the value
         of some or all of its portfolio  securities  either  denominated in, or
         whose value is tied to, such foreign currency.

As to the first  circumstance,  when a fund enters into a trade for the purchase
or sale of a security denominated in a foreign currency,  it may be desirable to
establish (lock in) the U.S.  dollar cost or proceeds.  By entering into forward
contracts  in U.S.  dollars  for the  purchase  or  sale of a  foreign  currency
involved in an underlying security transaction, the fund will be able to protect
itself against a possible loss between trade and settlement dates resulting from
the adverse change in the  relationship  between the U.S.  dollar at the subject
foreign currency.

Under the second circumstance,  when a fund's managers believe that the currency
of a particular  country may suffer a substantial  decline  relative to the U.S.
dollar,  the fund could enter into a foreign contract to sell for a fixed dollar
amount the amount in foreign  currencies  approximating the value of some or all
of its portfolio  securities  either  denominated in, or whose value is tied to,
such foreign currency.  The fund will place cash or high-grade liquid securities
in a separate  account with its custodian in an amount equal to the value of the
forward  contracts entered into under the second  circumstance.  If the value of
the  securities  placed in the separate  account  declines,  additional  cash or
securities  will be placed in the  account on a daily basis so that the value of
the account  equals the amount of the fund's  commitments  with  respect to such
contracts.

The  precise  matching  of  forward  contracts  in the  amounts  and  values  of
securities  involved  generally would not be possible since the future values of
such foreign  currencies will change as a consequence of market movements in the
values of those securities between the date the forward contract is entered into
and the date it matures.  Predicting  short-term  currency  market  movements is
extremely difficult, and the successful execution of short-term hedging strategy
is highly  uncertain.  The  funds'  managers  do not  intend to enter  into such
contracts  on a regular  basis.  Normally,  consideration  of the  prospect  for
currency parties will be incorporated  into the long-term  investment  decisions
made with respect to overall  diversification  strategies.  However, the advisor
believes  that it is  important to have  flexibility  to enter into such forward
contracts when it determines that a fund's best interests may be served.

Generally,  a fund will not enter into a forward contract with a term of greater
than one year. At the maturity of the forward contract, the fund may either sell
the  portfolio  security and make  delivery of the foreign  currency,  or it may
retain the security and terminate the obligation to deliver the foreign currency
by purchasing an  "offsetting"  forward  contract with the same currency  trader
obligating  the fund to purchase,  on the same maturity date, the same amount of
the foreign currency.

It is  impossible  to  forecast  with  absolute  precision  the market  value of
portfolio securities at the expiration of the forward contract.  Accordingly, it
may be necessary for a fund to purchase  additional foreign currency on the spot
market  (and bear the  expense  of such  purchase)  if the  market  value of the
security is less than the amount of foreign  currency  the fund is  obligated to
deliver and if a decision is made to sell the security and make  delivery of the
foreign currency the fund is obligated to deliver.

CONVERTIBLE SECURITIES

A convertible security is a fixed-income  security that offers the potential for
capital  appreciation  through a  conversion  feature that enables the holder to
convert  the  fixed-income  security  into a stated  number  of shares of common
stock.  As fixed  income  securities,  convertible  securities  provide a stable
stream of income,  with  generally  higher  yields than common  stocks.  Because
convertible  securities  offer the  potential to benefit  from  increases in the
market price of the underlying common stock, however, they generally offer lower
yields than  non-convertible  securities of similar quality. Of course, like all
fixed income securities, there can be no assurance of current income because the
issuers of the  convertible  securities  may  default on their  obligations.  In
addition, there can be no assurance of capital appreciation because the value of
the underlying common stock will fluctuate.

Convertible   securities   generally  are  subordinated  to  other  similar  but
non-convertible  securities of the same issuer,  although  convertible bonds, as
corporate debt  obligations,  enjoy  seniority in right of payment to all equity
securities,  and  convertible  preferred  stock is senior to common stock of the
same  issuer.  Because  of  the  subordination  feature,  however,   convertible
securities typically have lower ratings than similar non-convertible securities.

Unlike a convertible security that is a single security, a synthetic convertible
security  is  comprised  of  two  distinct  securities  that  together  resemble
convertible securities in certain respects. Synthetic convertible securities are
created by combining  non-convertible bonds or preferred stocks with warrants or
stock call options. The options that will form elements of synthetic convertible
securities  will  be  listed  on  a  securities  exchange  or  on  the  National
Association  of  Securities  Dealers  Automated   Quotation  Systems.   The  two
components  of a  synthetic  convertible  security,  which  will be issued  with
respect to the same  entity,  generally  are not  offered as a unit,  and may be
purchased  and  sold  by the  fund at  different  times.  Synthetic  convertible
securities  differ from convertible  securities in certain  respects,  including
that each component of a synthetic  convertible  security has a separate  market
value and responds  differently to market  fluctuations.  Investing in synthetic
convertible  securities  involves  the risk  normally  involved  in holding  the
securities comprising the synthetic convertible security.

Each fund will limit its holdings of convertible  debt securities to those that,
at the time of purchase,  are rated at least B- by S&P or B3 by Moody's,  or, if
not rated by S&P or Moody's, are of equivalent  investment quality as determined
by the fund's managers.  A fund's investments in convertible debt securities and
other high yield,  non-convertible  debt securities rated below investment grade
will comprise less than 35% of the fund's net assets.






SHORT SALES

A fund may  engage in short  sales if, at the time of the short  sale,  the fund
owns or has the right to acquire securities equivalent in kind and amount to the
securities being sold short.

In a short sale, the seller does not immediately deliver the securities sold and
is said to have a short position in those securities  until delivery occurs.  To
make delivery to the  purchaser,  the executing  broker  borrows the  securities
being  sold  short  on  behalf  of the  seller.  While  the  short  position  is
maintained,  the seller  collateralizes its obligation to deliver the securities
sold  short in an  amount  equal  to the  proceeds  of the  short  sale  plus an
additional  margin amount  established  by the Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve.  If a fund  engages in a short sale,  the  collateral  account  will be
maintained by the fund's custodian.  While the short sale is open, the fund will
maintain in a segregated  custodial account an amount of securities  convertible
into, or  exchangeable  for, such equivalent  securities at no additional  cost.
These securities would constitute the fund's long position.

A fund may make a short  sale,  as  described  above,  when it wants to sell the
security  it owns at a  current  attractive  price,  but  also  wishes  to defer
recognition  of gain or loss for  federal  income  tax  purposes.  There will be
certain  additional  transaction costs associated with short sales, but the fund
will endeavor to offset these costs with income from the  investment of the cash
proceeds of short sales.

PORTFOLIO LENDING

In order to realize additional income, a fund may lend its portfolio securities.
Such loans may not exceed  one-third  of the fund's net assets  valued at market
except (i)  through the  purchase  of debt  securities  in  accordance  with its
investment  objective,   policies  and  limitations,  or  (ii)  by  engaging  in
repurchase agreements with respect to portfolio securities.

DERIVATIVE SECURITIES

To the extent permitted by its investment  objectives and policies,  each of the
funds may invest in  securities  that are commonly  referred to as  "derivative"
securities.  Generally,  a derivative  is a financial  arrangement  the value of
which is based on, or "derived" from, a traditional  security,  asset, or market
index.   Certain  derivative   securities  are  more  accurately   described  as
"index/structured"   securities.   Index/structured  securities  are  derivative
securities whose value or performance is linked to other equity securities (such
as depositary receipts),  currencies, interest rates, indices or other financial
indicators ("reference indices").

Some "derivatives" such as  mortgage-related  and other asset-backed  securities
are in many  respects  like  any  other  investment,  although  they may be more
volatile or less liquid than more traditional debt securities.

There are many  different  types of  derivatives  and many different ways to use
them. Futures and options are commonly used for traditional  hedging purposes to
attempt to protect a fund from exposure to changing  interest rates,  securities
prices,  or  currency  exchange  rates  and for cash  management  purposes  as a
low-cost method of gaining  exposure to a particular  securities  market without
investing directly in those securities.

No fund may invest in a derivative  security  unless the reference  index or the
instrument  to which it  relates is an  eligible  investment  for the fund.  For
example,  a security whose  underlying value is linked to the price of oil would
not be a  permissible  investment  since the funds may not invest in oil and gas
leases or futures.

The return on a derivative  security may  increase or decrease,  depending  upon
changes in the reference index or instrument to which it relates.






There is a range of risks associated with derivative investments, including:

*    the risk that the underlying security, interest rate, market index or other
     financial  asset  will  not move in the  direction  the  portfolio  manager
     anticipates;

*    the  possibility  that  there may be no  liquid  secondary  market,  or the
     possibility that price  fluctuation  limits may be imposed by the exchange,
     either of which may make it difficult or impossible to close out a position
     when desired;

*    the risk that adverse price movements in an instrument can result in a loss
     substantially greater than a fund's initial investment; and

*    the risk that the counterparty will fail to perform its obligations.

The Board of Directors has approved the advisor's policy  regarding  investments
in derivative securities.  That policy specifies factors that must be considered
in  connection  with a  purchase  of  derivative  securities.  The  policy  also
establishes a committee that must review certain  proposed  purchases before the
purchases  can be made.  The advisor will report on fund  activity in derivative
securities to the Board of Directors as necessary.  In addition,  the Board will
review  the  advisor's  policy  for  investments  in the  derivative  securities
annually.

INVESTMENTS IN COMPANIES WITH LIMITED OPERATING HISTORIES

The funds  may  invest in the  securities  of  issuers  with  limited  operating
histories.  The advisor  considers an issuer to have a limited operating history
if that  issuer has a record of less than three years of  continuous  operation.
The  advisor   will   consider   periods  of  capital   formation,   incubation,
consolidations, and research and development in determining whether a particular
issuer has a record of three years of continuous operation.

Investments  in  securities  of issuers with  limited  operating  histories  may
involve greater risks than investments in securities of more mature issuers.  By
their  nature,  such issuers  present  limited  operating  history and financial
information upon which the manager may base its investment decision on behalf of
the funds. In addition,  financial and other information regarding such issuers,
when available, may be incomplete or inaccurate.

REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS

Each fund may invest in repurchase  agreements when such transactions present an
attractive  short-term  return on cash that is not  otherwise  committed  to the
purchase of securities pursuant to the investment policies of that fund.

A  repurchase  agreement  occurs  when,  at  the  time  the  fund  purchases  an
interest-bearing  obligation,  the seller (a bank or a broker-dealer  registered
under the Securities  Exchange Act of 1934) agrees to purchase it on a specified
date in the future at an agreed-upon  price.  The  repurchase  price reflects an
agreed-upon  interest  rate during the time the fund's  money is invested in the
security.

Since the security purchased constitutes security for the repurchase obligation,
a repurchase  agreement can be considered a loan  collateralized by the security
purchased.  The fund's risk is the ability of the seller to pay the  agreed-upon
repurchase price on the repurchase  date. If the seller  defaults,  the fund may
incur  costs in  disposing  of the  collateral,  which  would  reduce the amount
realized  thereon.  If the seller seeks relief under the  bankruptcy  laws,  the
disposition of the collateral may be delayed or limited. To the extent the value
of the security decreases, the fund could experience a loss.

The funds will limit repurchase  agreement  transactions to securities issued by
the U.S.  government,  its agencies and  instrumentalities,  and will enter into
such  transactions  with  those  banks and  securities  dealers  who are  deemed
creditworthy pursuant to criteria adopted by the funds' Board of Directors.

VARIABLE- AND FLOATING-RATE OBLIGATIONS

The funds may buy  variable- and  floating-rate  demand  obligations  (VRDOs and
FRDOs).  These obligations carry rights that permit holders to demand payment of
the unpaid principal plus accrued  interest,  from the issuers or from financial
intermediaries.  Floating-rate securities, or floaters, have interest rates that
change  whenever  there is a change in a  designated  base  rate;  variable-rate
instruments  provide for a specified,  periodic adjustment in the interest rate,
which typically is based on an index. These rate formulas are designed to result
in a market value for the VRDO or FRDO that approximates par value.

OBLIGATIONS WITH TERM PUTS ATTACHED

Each fund may invest in  fixed-rate  bonds  subject to  third-party  puts and in
participation  interests  in such  bonds  held by a bank in trust or  otherwise.
These bonds and  participation  interests have tender options or demand features
that  permit  the funds to tender  (or put)  their  bonds to an  institution  at
periodic intervals and to receive the principal amount thereof.

The  advisor  expects  that the  funds  will pay more for  securities  with puts
attached than for securities without these liquidity features.

Because it is difficult to evaluate the  likelihood of exercise or the potential
benefit of a put,  puts  normally  will be  determined  to have a value of zero,
regardless of whether any direct or indirect consideration is paid. Accordingly,
puts as  separate  securities  are not  expected  to affect the funds'  weighted
average  maturities.  When a fund has paid for a put, the cost will be reflected
as unrealized  depreciation on the underlying security for the period the put is
held.  Any gain on the sale of the  underlying  security  will be reduced by the
cost of the put.

There is a risk  that the  seller  of a put will not be able to  repurchase  the
underlying  obligation  when (or if) a fund  attempts  to  exercise  the put. To
minimize such risks, the funds will purchase obligations with puts attached only
from sellers deemed creditworthy by the advisor under the direction of the Board
of Directors.

WHEN-ISSUED AND FORWARD COMMITMENT AGREEMENTS

The funds may sometimes  purchase new issues of  securities on a when-issued  or
forward commitment basis in which the transaction price and yield are each fixed
at the time the  commitment is made,  but payment and delivery occur at a future
date (typically 15 to 45 days later).

When purchasing  securities on a when-issued or forward commitment basis, a fund
assumes  the rights  and risks of  ownership,  including  the risks of price and
yield  fluctuations.  Market rates of interest on debt securities at the time of
delivery  may be higher or lower than those  contracted  for on the  when-issued
security. Accordingly, the value of such security may decline prior to delivery,
which could result in a loss to the fund.  While the fund will make  commitments
to purchase or sell  securities  with the  intention  of actually  receiving  or
delivering them, it may sell the securities  before the settlement date if doing
so is deemed advisable as a matter of investment strategy.

In purchasing  securities on a when-issued or forward  commitment  basis, a fund
will  establish  and maintain  until the  settlement  date a segregated  account
consisting of cash, cash equivalents or other  appropriate  liquid securities in
an amount  sufficient to meet the purchase price. When the time comes to pay for
the when-issued  securities,  the fund will meet its obligations  with available
cash, through the sale of securities,  or, although it would not normally expect
to do so, by selling the  when-issued  securities  themselves  (which may have a
market  value  greater  or less than the  fund's  payment  obligation).  Selling
securities to meet  when-issued or forward  commitment  obligations may generate
taxable capital gains or losses.

INVERSE FLOATERS

An inverse floater is a type of derivative  security that bears an interest rate
that moves  inversely to market  interest  rates. As market interest rates rise,
the interest rate on inverse floaters goes down, and vice versa. Generally, this
is  accomplished  by expressing  the interest rate on the inverse  floater as an
above-market  fixed  rate  of  interest,  reduced  by an  amount  determined  by
reference to a market-based or bond-specific  floating interest rate (as well as
by any fees associated with administering the inverse floater program).

Inverse  floaters  may be issued in  conjunction  with an equal  amount of Dutch
Auction  floating-rate bonds (floaters),  or a market-based index may be used to
set the interest rate on these securities.  A Dutch Auction is an auction system
in which  the  price  of the  security  is  gradually  lowered  until it meets a
responsive  bid and is sold.  Floaters  and inverse  floaters  may be brought to
market by a broker-dealer  who purchases  fixed-rate  bonds and places them in a
trust  or  by  an  issuer  seeking  to  reduce  interest  expenses  by  using  a
floater/inverse floater structure in lieu of fixed-rate bonds.

In the case of a broker-dealer  structured offering (where underlying fixed-rate
bonds have been placed in a trust),  distributions from the underlying bonds are
allocated to floater and inverse floater holders in the following manner:

(i)      Floater  holders  receive  interest  based on rates set at a  six-month
         interval or at a Dutch Auction,  which is typically held every 28 to 35
         days. Current and prospective  floater holders bid the minimum interest
         rate that they are willing to accept on the floaters,  and the interest
         rate is set just high  enough to ensure  that all of the  floaters  are
         sold.

(ii)     Inverse floater holders receive all of the interest that remains on the
         underlying bonds after floater interest and auction fees are paid.

Procedures for determining the interest payment on floaters and inverse floaters
brought to market directly by the issuer are  comparable,  although the interest
paid on the inverse  floaters is based on a presumed coupon rate that would have
been required to bring  fixed-rate  bonds to market at the time the floaters and
inverse floaters were issued.

Where inverse floaters are issued in conjunction with floaters,  inverse floater
holders may be given the right to acquire the underlying  security (or to create
a fixed-rate  bond) by calling an equal amount of  corresponding  floaters.  The
underlying security may then be held or sold. However, typically, there are time
constraints and other limitations associated with any right to combine interests
and claim the underlying security.

Floater holders subject to a Dutch Auction  procedure  generally do not have the
right to "put back"  their  interests  to the issuer or to a third  party.  If a
Dutch  Auction  fails,  the floater  holder may be required to hold its position
until the underlying bond matures,  during which time interest on the floater is
capped at a predetermined rate.

The  secondary  market for  floaters and inverse  floaters  may be limited.  The
market value of inverse  floaters tends to be  significantly  more volatile than
fixed-rate  bonds.  The interest rates on inverse  floaters may be significantly
reduced, even to zero, if interest rates rise.





SHORT-TERM SECURITIES

Examples of the money market and other short-term  securities in which the funds
may invest include

* Securities  issued or guaranteed by the U.S.  government  and its agencies and
  instrumentalities;

* Commercial Paper;

* Certificates of Deposit and Euro Dollar Certificates of Deposit;

* Bankers' Acceptances;

* Short-term notes, bonds, debentures, or other debt instruments; and

* Repurchase agreements.

Each of the funds may  invest up to 5% of its total  assets in any other  mutual
fund,  including  those advised by the advisor,  provided that the investment is
consistent  with the fund's  investment  policies  and  restrictions.  Under the
Investment  Company Act, each fund's  investment in such securities,  subject to
certain exceptions,  currently is limited to (a) 3% of the total voting stock of
any one  investment  company,  (b) 5% of the fund's total assets with respect to
any one  investment  company  and  (c) 10% of the  fund's  total  assets  in the
aggregate. Such purchases will be made in the open market where no commission or
profit to a sponsor or dealer results from the purchase other than the customary
brokers'  commissions.  As a shareholder of another  investment  company, a fund
would bear,  along with other  shareholders,  its pro rata  portion of the other
investment company's expenses,  including advisory fees. These expenses would be
in addition to the  management  fee that each fund bears  directly in connection
with its own operations.

FUTURES AND OPTIONS

Each fund may enter  into  futures  contracts,  options  or  options  on futures
contracts.  Funds  may  not,  however,  enter  into a  futures  transaction  for
speculative purposes. Generally, futures transactions will be used to

*    protect against a decline in market value of the funds' securities  (taking
     a SHORT futures position), or

*    protect  against the risk of an increase in market value for  securities in
     which  the  fund  generally  invests  at  a  time  when  the  fund  is  not
     fully-invested (taking a LONG futures position), or

*    provide a temporary  substitute for the purchase of an individual  security
     that may be purchased in an orderly fashion.

Some futures and options  strategies,  such as SELLING futures,  buying puts and
writing calls,  hedge a fund's  investments  against price  fluctuations.  Other
strategies,  such as BUYING  futures,  writing  puts and buying  calls,  tend to
increase  market  exposure.  Although other  techniques may be used to control a
fund's exposure to market  fluctuations,  the use of futures  contracts may be a
more  effective  means of hedging  this  exposure.  While a fund pays  brokerage
commissions in connection with opening and closing out futures positions,  these
costs are lower than the transaction  costs incurred in the purchase and sale of
the underlying securities.

For example,  the "sale" of a future by a fund means the fund becomes  obligated
to deliver the security (or  securities,  in the case of an "index" future) at a
specified  price on a specified  date. The "purchase" of a future means the fund
becomes  obligated to buy the security (or securities) at a specified price on a
specified date. Futures contracts provide for the sale by one party and purchase
by another  party of a specific  security at a specified  future time and price.
The funds may engage in futures and  options  transactions  based on  securities
indexes that are consistent with the fund's investment  objectives.  Examples of
indexes that may be used include the Bond Buyer Index of  Municipal  Bonds,  for
fixed income funds,  or the S&P 500 Index,  for equity funds.  The fund also may
engage in futures and options transactions based on specific securities, such as
U.S.  Treasury bonds or notes.  Futures contracts are traded on national futures
exchanges.  Futures  exchanges  and trading are  regulated  under the  Commodity
Exchange  Act  by  the  Commodity  Futures  Trading  Commission  (CFTC),  a U.S.
government agency.

Index futures  contracts differ from traditional  futures contracts in that when
delivery takes place, no stocks or bonds change hands. Instead,  these contracts
settle in cash at the spot market  value of the Index.  Although  other types of
futures  contracts by their terms call for actual  delivery or acceptance of the
underlying  securities,  in most cases the  contracts  are closed out before the
settlement date. A futures position may be closed by taking an opposite position
in an identical contract (i.e.,  buying a contract that has previously been sold
or selling a contract that has previously been bought).

Unlike when the fund  purchases or sells a bond, no price is paid or received by
the fund upon the  purchase or sale of the future.  Initially,  the fund will be
required to deposit an amount of cash or securities equal to a varying specified
percentage of the contract amount.  This amount is known as initial margin.  The
margin  deposit is intended to assure  completion  of the contract  (delivery or
acceptance  of the  underlying  security) if it is not  terminated  prior to the
specified  delivery  date.  They do not  constitute  "margin  transactions"  for
purposes  of  the  funds'  investment   restrictions.   Minimum  initial  margin
requirements  are  established by the futures  exchanges and may be revised.  In
addition, brokers may establish margin deposit requirements that are higher than
the exchange minimums.  Cash held in the margin account is not income producing.
Subsequent  payments,  called variation margin, to and from the broker,  will be
made on a daily basis as the price of the  underlying  debt  securities or index
fluctuates, making the future more or less valuable , a process known as marking
the contract to market.  Changes in variation margin are recorded by the fund as
unrealized gains or losses.  At any time prior to expiration of the future,  the
fund may elect to close the  position by taking an opposite  position  that will
operate to  terminate  its  position in the  future.  A final  determination  of
variation  margin is then made;  additional  cash is  required  to be paid by or
released to the fund and the fund realizes a loss or gain.

*RISKS RELATED TO FUTURES AND OPTIONS TRANSACTIONS

Futures  and  options  prices can be  volatile,  and  trading  in these  markets
involves  certain risks. If a fund's managers apply a hedge at an  inappropriate
time or judges  interest rate or equity market trends  incorrectly,  futures and
options strategies may lower the fund's return.

A fund could suffer  losses if it were unable to close out its position  because
of an illiquid secondary market.  Futures contracts may be closed out only on an
exchange that provides a secondary market for these  contracts,  and there is no
assurance that a liquid secondary  market will exist for any particular  futures
contract at any particular time. Consequently, it may not be possible to close a
futures  position when the managers  consider it  appropriate or desirable to do
so. In the  event of  adverse  price  movements,  a fund  would be  required  to
continue making daily cash payments to maintain its required margin. If the fund
had insufficient cash, it might have to sell portfolio  securities to meet daily
margin  requirements at a time when the managers would not otherwise elect to do
so.  In  addition,  a fund  may be  required  to  deliver  or take  delivery  of
instruments  underlying  futures  contracts  it holds.  The advisor will seek to
minimize  these risks by limiting  the  contracts  entered into on behalf of the
funds to those traded on national futures  exchanges and for which there appears
to be a liquid secondary market.

A fund could  suffer  losses if the prices of its futures and options  positions
were poorly correlated with its other investments,  or if securities  underlying
futures contracts purchased by a fund had different maturities than those of the
portfolio  securities being hedged. Such imperfect  correlation may give rise to
circumstances in which a fund loses money on a futures contract at the same time
that it experiences a decline in the value of its "hedged" portfolio securities.
A fund also could lose margin  payments it has deposited  with a margin  broker,
if, for example, the broker became bankrupt.

Most  futures  exchanges  limit the amount of  fluctuation  permitted in futures
contract  prices during a single  trading day. The daily limit  establishes  the
maximum  amount that the price of a futures  contract may vary either up or down
from the previous day's settlement price at the end of the trading session. Once
the daily limit has been reached in a particular type of contract, no trades may
be made on that day at a price  beyond  the  limit.  However,  the  daily  limit
governs only price movement during a particular trading day and, therefore, does
not limit potential losses. In addition, the daily limit may prevent liquidation
of unfavorable positions. Futures contract prices have occasionally moved to the
daily  limit for  several  consecutive  trading  days with little or no trading,
thereby  preventing prompt  liquidation of futures positions and subjecting some
futures traders to substantial losses.






*OPTIONS ON FUTURES

By purchasing an option on a futures contract, a fund obtains the right, but not
the  obligation,  to sell the  futures  contract  (a put  option)  or to buy the
contract (a call  option) at a fixed  strike  price.  A fund can  terminate  its
position in a put option by allowing it to expire or by  exercising  the option.
If the  option  is  exercised,  the fund  completes  the sale of the  underlying
security at the strike price.  Purchasing  an option on a futures  contract does
not require a fund to make margin payments unless the option is exercised.

Although  they do not  currently  intend to do so, the funds may write (or sell)
call  options that  obligate it to sell (or  deliver)  the  option's  underlying
instrument  upon  exercise of the option.  While the receipt of option  premiums
would  mitigate  the  effects of price  declines,  the funds  would give up some
ability to participate in a price increase on the underlying security. If a fund
were to engage in options transactions, it would own the futures contract at the
time a call were written and would keep the contract  open until the  obligation
to deliver it pursuant to the call expired.

*RESTRICTIONS ON THE USE OF FUTURES CONTRACTS AND OPTIONS

Each fund may enter  into  futures  contracts,  options  or  options  on futures
contracts.

Under the  Commodity  Exchange  Act, a fund may enter into  futures  and options
transactions (a) for hedging purposes without regard to the percentage of assets
committed  to initial  margin and option  premiums or (b) for other than hedging
purposes,  provided that assets  committed to initial margin and option premiums
do not exceed 5% of the fund's total assets. To the extent required by law, each
fund will set aside cash and appropriate  liquid assets in a segregated  account
to cover its obligations related to futures contracts and options.

RESTRICTED AND ILLIQUID SECURITIES

The funds may, from time to time,  purchase  restricted or illiquid  securities,
including  Rule  144A  securities,   when  they  present  attractive  investment
opportunities  that otherwise meet the funds' criteria for selection.  Rule 144A
securities  are  securities  that are  privately  placed  with and traded  among
qualified  institutional investors rather than the general public. Although Rule
144A securities are considered "restricted securities," they are not necessarily
illiquid.

With respect to securities eligible for resale under Rule 144A, the staff of the
SEC has  taken  the  position  that  the  liquidity  of such  securities  in the
portfolio of a fund offering redeemable securities is a question of fact for the
Board  of  Directors  to  determine,  such  determination  to be  based  upon  a
consideration  of the readily  available  trading  markets and the review of any
contractual restrictions. Accordingly, the Board of Directors is responsible for
developing and  establishing  the guidelines and procedures for  determining the
liquidity  of Rule  144A  securities.  As  allowed  by Rule  144A,  the Board of
Directors of the funds has delegated the day-to-day  function of determining the
liquidity  of Rule  144A  securities  to the  advisor.  The  board  retains  the
responsibility to monitor the implementation of the guidelines and procedures it
has adopted.

Since the secondary  market for such securities is limited to certain  qualified
institutional  investors,  the  liquidity  of  such  securities  may be  limited
accordingly  and a fund  may,  from  time to  time,  hold a Rule  144A or  other
security  that  is  illiquid.  In such  an  event,  the  advisor  will  consider
appropriate remedies to minimize the effect on such fund's liquidity.

ZERO-COUPON, STEP-COUPON AND PAY-IN-KIND SECURITIES

Zero-coupon,  step-coupon and pay-in-kind securities are debt securities that do
not make regular cash interest payments.  Zero-coupon and step-coupon securities
are sold at a deep  discount to their face  value.  Pay-in-kind  securities  pay
interest through the issuance of additional securities.  Because such securities
do not pay current cash income,  the price of these  securities  can be volatile
when interest rates  fluctuate.  While these  securities do not pay current cash
income, federal income tax law requires the holders of zero-coupon,  step-coupon
and  pay-in-kind  securities  to include in income  each year the portion of the
original  issue  discount and other noncash  income on such  securities  accrued
during that year.  In order to continue to qualify for treatment as a "regulated
investment  company"  under the Internal  Revenue Code and avoid certain  excise
tax, the funds may be required to dispose of other portfolio  securities,  which
may occur in periods of adverse market prices, in order to generate cash to meet
these distribution requirements.

LOAN INTERESTS

Loan  interests  are interests in amounts owed by a corporate,  governmental  or
other borrower to lenders or lending syndicates. Loan interests purchased by the
fund may have a  maturity  of any number of days or years,  and may be  acquired
from U.S. and foreign banks,  insurance  companies,  finance  companies or other
financial  institutions  that  have  made  loans  or are  members  of a  lending
syndicate or from the holders of loan interests. Loan interests involve the risk
of loss in case of default or  bankruptcy  of the  borrower  and, in the case of
participation interests,  involve a risk of insolvency of the agent lending bank
or other financial intermediary.  Loan interests are not rated by any nationally
recognized  securities  ratings  organization  and are, at present,  not readily
marketable and may be subject to contractual restrictions on resale.


INVESTMENT POLICIES

Unless otherwise indicated,  with the exception of the percentage limitations on
borrowing,  the  restrictions  apply at the time  transactions are entered into.
Accordingly,  any later  increase or decrease  beyond the  specified  limitation
resulting  from a change  in a fund's  net  assets  will  not be  considered  in
determining whether it has complied with its investment restrictions.






*FUNDAMENTAL INVESTMENT POLICIES

The  funds'  investment  restrictions  are set  forth  below.  These  investment
restrictions  are  fundamental  and may not be  changed  without  approval  of a
majority of the  outstanding  votes of  shareholders of a fund, as determined in
accordance with the Investment Company Act.

- ------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------
SUBJECT                   POLICIES
- ------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------
Senior Securities         A fund may not  issue  senior  securities,  except as
                          permitted under the Investment Company Act.

Borrowing                 A fund may not borrow money, except that the fund may
                          borrow money for temporary or emergency purposes (not
                          for  leveraging  or  investment)  in  an  amount  not
                          exceeding   33-1/3%  of  the  fund's   total   assets
                          (including  the  amount  borrowed)  less  liabilities
                          (other than borrowings).

Lending                   A fund may not lend any  security  or make any  other
                          loan if, as a result, more than 33-1/3% of the fund's
                          total assets would be lent to other parties,  except,
                          (i)  through  the  purchase  of  debt  securities  in
                          accordance  with its investment  objective,  policies
                          and  limitations  or (ii) by engaging  in  repurchase
                          agreements with respect to portfolio securities.

Real Estate               A fund may not  purchase or sell real  estate  unless
                          acquired as a result of  ownership of  securities  or
                          other instruments.  This policy shall not prevent the
                          fund  from   investment   in   securities   or  other
                          instruments  backed by real estate or  securities  of
                          companies  that deal in real estate or are engaged in
                          the real estate business.

Concentration             A  fund  may  not   concentrate   its  investments  in
                          securities of issuers in a particular  industry (other
                          than  securities  issued  or  guaranteed  by the  U.S.
                          government    or    any    of    its    agencies    or
                          instrumentalities).

Underwriting              A fund  may not act as an  underwriter  of  securities
                          issued by others,  except to the extent  that the fund
                          may be considered an underwriter within the meaning of
                          the  Securities  Act of  1933  in the  disposition  of
                          restricted securities.

Commodities               A fund may not purchase or sell  physical  commodities
                          unless acquired as a result of ownership of securities
                          or other  instruments;  provided that this  limitation
                          shall not prohibit the fund from purchasing or selling
                          options and futures  contracts  or from  investing  in
                          securities  or other  instruments  backed by  physical
                          commodities.

Control                   A fund may not  invest  for  purposes  of  exercising
                          control over management.

- ------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------

For purposes of the investment  restriction  relating to  concentration,  a fund
shall not purchase any  securities  that would cause 25% or more of the value of
the fund's total assets at the time of purchase to be invested in the securities
of one or more issuers  conducting  their principal  business  activities in the
same  industry,  provided  that  (a)  there is no  limitation  with  respect  to
obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government, any state, territory or
possession  of the United  States,  the  District  of  Columbia  or any of their
authorities,   agencies,   instrumentalities   or  political   subdivisions  and
repurchase  agreements  secured by such  instruments,  (b) wholly owned  finance
companies  will be considered to be in the  industries of their parents if their
activities are primarily related to financing the activities of the parents, (c)
utilities will be divided  according to their  services,  for example,  gas, gas
transmission, electric and gas, electric and telephone will each be considered a
separate  industry,  and (d) personal credit and business credit businesses will
be considered separate industries.

*NONFUNDAMENTAL INVESTMENT POLICIES

In  addition,  the funds are  subject  to the  following  additional  investment
restrictions  that  are not  fundamental  and may be  changed  by the  Board  of
Directors.

- --------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------
SUBJECT                     POLICIES
- --------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------
Diversification             A  fund  may  not  purchase  additional   investment
                            securities  at any  time  during  which  outstanding
                            borrowings  exceed  5% of the  total  assets  of the
                            fund.

Liquidity                   A fund may not purchase any security or enter into a
                            repurchase  agreement if, as a result, more than 15%
                            of its net assets  would be invested  in  repurchase
                            agreements  not  entitling  the holder to payment of
                            principal  and  interest  within  seven  days and in
                            securities  that are  illiquid by virtue of legal or
                            contractual restrictions on resale or the absence of
                            a readily available market.

Short Sales                 A fund may not sell securities  short,  unless
                            it  owns  or has  the  right  to  obtain  securities
                            equivalent in kind and amount to the securities sold
                            short,  and provided  that  transactions  in futures
                            contracts  and options are not deemed to  constitute
                            selling securities short.

Margin                      A fund may not purchase securities on margin, except
                            that the fund may obtain such short-term  credits as
                            are necessary for the clearance of transactions, and
                            provided  that margin  payments in  connection  with
                            futures  contracts and options on futures  contracts
                            shall  not  constitute   purchasing   securities  on
                            margin.

Futures & Options          A fund may enter into futures  contracts,  options or
                           options on futures  contracts.  Futures  transactions
                           may be used  to (1)  protect  against  a  decline  in
                           market  value of the fund's  securities,  (2) protect
                           against the risk of an  increase in market  value for
                           securities in which the fund  generally  invests at a
                           time  when  the  fund is not  fully-invested,  or (3)
                           provide a temporary substitute for the purchase of an
                           individual  security  that  may  be  purchased  in an
                           orderly fashion. A fund may not, however,  enter into
                           leveraged futures transactions.

Issuers with Limited       A  fund  may  invest  up to 5% of its  assets  in the
Operating  Histories       securities   of  issuers   with   limited   operating
                           histories.  An issuer is considered to have a limited
                           operating history if that issuer has a record of less
                           than three years of continuous operation.  Periods of
                           capital formation,  incubation,  consolidations,  and
                           research  and   development   may  be  considered  in
                           determining  whether a particular issuer has a record
                           of three years of continuous operation.             
- --------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------

The  Investment  Company  Act  imposes  certain  additional   restrictions  upon
acquisition  by the  corporation  of securities  issued by insurance  companies,
broker-dealers,  underwriters or investment advisors, and upon transactions with
affiliated persons as therein defined.  It also defines and forbids the creation
of cross and circular ownership.  Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission
nor  any  other  agency  of the  federal  or  state  agency  participates  in or
supervises  the  management  of the  funds  or  their  investment  practices  or
policies.

The Investment Company Act also provides that the funds may not invest more than
25% of their assets in the securities of issuers  engaged in a single  industry.
In  determining  industry  groups  for  purposes  of this  restriction,  the SEC
ordinarily  uses the Standard  Industry  Classification  codes  developed by the
United  States  Office of  Management  and Budget.  In the  interest of ensuring
adequate diversification,  the funds monitor industry concentration using a more
restrictive  list of industry groups than that recommended by the SEC. The funds
believe that these  classifications are reasonable and are not so broad that the
primary  economic  characteristics  of  the  companies  in a  single  class  are
materially different. The use of these restrictive industry classifications may,
however,  cause the funds to forego investment  possibilities that may otherwise
be available to them under the Investment Company Act.

PORTFOLIO TURNOVER

The portfolio turnover rates of the funds are shown in the Financial  Highlights
table in the Prospectus.

With respect to each fund, the managers may purchase and sell securities without
regard to the length of time the security has been held. Accordingly, the fund's
rate of portfolio turnover may be substantial.

The funds' managers intend to purchase a given security for a fund whenever they
believe it will  contribute  to the stated  objective  of the fund.  In order to
achieve  each  fund's  investment  objective,  the  managers  may  sell a  given
security,  no matter  for how long or for how short a period it has been held in
the portfolio,  and no matter whether the sale is at a gain or at a loss, if the
managers  believe  that the  security  is not  fulfilling  its  purpose,  either
because,  among other things, it did not live up to the managers'  expectations,
or because it may be replaced with another security holding greater promise,  or
because it has  reached  its  optimum  potential,  or because of a change in the
circumstances  of a  particular  company  or  industry  or in  general  economic
conditions, or because of some combination of such reasons.

When a general decline in security  prices is  anticipated,  a fund may decrease
its  position in such  category  and increase its position in one or both of the
other asset categories,  and when a rise in price levels is anticipated,  a fund
may  increase  its  position in such  category  and decrease its position in the
other  categories.  However,  the  funds  will,  under  most  circumstances,  be
essentially  fully  invested  within  the  operating  ranges  set  forth  in the
Prospectus.

Since  investment  decisions are based on the  anticipated  contribution  of the
security in question to a fund's objectives,  the advisor believes that the rate
of  portfolio  turnover is  irrelevant  when it believes a change is in order to
achieve those objectives.  As a result, a fund's annual portfolio  turnover rate
cannot be  anticipated  and may be higher than other  mutual  funds with similar
investment objectives.  Higher turnover would generate  correspondingly  greater
brokerage  commissions,  which  is a cost  the  funds  pay  directly.  Portfolio
turnover may also affect the character of capital gains realized and distributed
by the fund,  if any,  since  short-term  capital  gains are taxable as ordinary
income.  This  disclosure   regarding  portfolio  turnover  is  a  statement  of
fundamental policy and may be changed only by a vote of the shareholders.

Since the managers do not take  portfolio  turnover  rate into account in making
investment  decisions,  (1) the managers have no intention of accomplishing  any
particular  rate  of  portfolio  turnover,  whether  high  or  low,  and (2) the
portfolio   turnover   rates  in  the  past  should  not  be   considered  as  a
representation of the rates that will be attained in the future.

MANAGEMENT

*THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

The Board of Directors  oversees the  management of the funds and meets at least
quarterly  to  review  reports  about  fund  operations.  Although  the Board of
Directors  does not manage the funds,  it has hired the  advisor to do so.  More
than half of the directors are  "independent"  of the funds'  advisor,  that is,
they are not employed by and have no financial interest in the advisor.

The individuals  listed in the table below whose names are marked by an asterisk
(*) are interested  persons of the funds (as defined in the  Investment  Company
Act) by virtue of, among other considerations, their affiliation with either the
advisor,  American Century Investment Management,  Inc. (ACIM); the funds' agent
for transfer and administrative services,  American Century Services Corporation
(ACSC);  the parent  corporation of ACIM and ACSC,  American Century  Companies,
Inc.   (ACC);   ACC's   subsidiaries;   the   funds'   distribution   agent  and
co-administrator,  Funds  Distributor,  Inc.  (FDI);  the  funds or other  funds
advised by the advisor.  Each director  listed below serves as a director of six
registered  investment  companies in the American Century family of funds, which
are also advised by the advisor. The address at which each director listed below
is American Century Tower I, 4500 Main Street, Kansas City, Missouri 64111.

The Board has four  standing  committees  to oversee  specific  functions of the
funds'  operations.  Other  than  the  Nominating  Committee,  only  independent
directors serve on these committees.  Information about these committees appears
in the table below. The Director first named acts as chairman of the committee.

*COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS

The  directors  also serve as directors  for five  American  Century  investment
companies other than American  Century  Strategic Asset  Allocations,  Inc. Each
director who is not an "interested  person" as defined in the Investment Company
Act receives  compensation  for service as a member of the Board of all six such
companies  based on a schedule  that takes into  account  the number of meetings
held and the assets of the funds for which the meetings are held. These fees and
expenses are divided among the six investment  companies  based,  in part,  upon
their relative net assets.  Under the terms of the management agreement with the
advisor, the funds are responsible for paying such fees and expenses.

The table presented shows the aggregate compensation paid by the corporation for
the periods  indicated and by the American Century family of funds as a whole to
each  director who is not an  "interested  person" as defined in the  Investment
Company Act.

1    Interested directors receive no compensation for their services as such.

2    Includes  compensation  paid to the directors  during the fiscal year ended
     November 30, 1998,  and also includes  amounts  deferred at the election of
     the directors under the American Century Mutual Funds Deferred Compensation
     Plan for  Non-Interested  Directors  and  Trustees.  The  total  amount  of
     deferred  compensation  included  in the  preceding  table  is as  follows:
     [INFORMATION NOT YET AVAILABLE].

3    Includes  compensation  paid by the 13  investment  company  members of the
     American Century family of funds.

The funds have  adopted the  American  Century  Deferred  Compensation  Plan for
Non-Interested Directors and Trustees. Under the plan, the independent directors
may defer  receipt of all or any part of the fees to be paid to them for serving
as directors of the funds.

Under the plan, all deferred fees are credited to an account  established in the
name of the  directors.  The amounts  credited to the account  then  increase or
decrease,  as the case may be, in accordance with the performance of one or more
of the American  Century  funds that are selected by the  director.  The account
balance  continues  to  fluctuate  in  accordance  with the  performance  of the
selected  fund or funds  until  final  payment of all  amounts  credited  to the
account.  Directors are allowed to change their designation of mutual funds from
time to time.

No deferred fees are payable until such time as a director  resigns,  retires or
otherwise ceases to be a member of the Board of Directors. Directors may receive
deferred fee account  balances either in a lump sum payment or in  substantially
equal installment payments to be made over a period not to exceed 10 years. Upon
the death of a director, all remaining deferred fee account balances are paid to
the director's beneficiary or, if none, to the director's estate.

The plan is an unfunded plan and,  accordingly,  the funds have no obligation to
segregate assets to secure or fund the deferred fees. The rights of directors to
receive  their  deferred  fee account  balances  are the same as the rights of a
general unsecured  creditor of the funds. The plan may be terminated at any time
by the  administrative  committee of the plan. If  terminated,  all deferred fee
account balances will be paid in a lump sum.

[No  deferred  fees were paid to any  director  under the plan during the fiscal
year ended November 30, 1998]

*OFFICERS

Background for the officers of the funds is provided below. All persons named as
officers  of the  funds  also  serve  in  similar  capacities  for the 12  other
investment  companies advised by American Century. Not all officers of the funds
are listed;  only those  officers with  policy-making  functions are listed.  No
officer is  compensated  for his or her service as an officer of the funds.  The

*THE FUNDS' PRINCIPAL SHAREHOLDERS

The  following  table  lists  the  record  owners  of more  than 5% of a  fund's
outstanding shares as of _______________, 1998:

                                                                      OF SHARES

Strategic Allocation:  Moderate                 [INFORMATION NOT YET AVAILABLE]
Srategic Allocation:  Aggressive                [INFORMATION NOT YET AVAILABLE]

The funds are unaware of any other  shareholders,  beneficial or of record,  who
own more than 5% of a fund's outstanding  shares. As  of________________,  1998,
the officers and  directors  of the funds,  as a group,  own less than 1% of any
fund's outstanding shares.

SERVICE PROVIDERS

The funds have no employees.  To conduct the funds' day-to-day  activities,  the
funds have hired a number of service  providers.  Each  service  provider  has a
specific function to fill on behalf of the funds and is described below.

The  advisor  and the  transfer  agent are both  wholly  owned by ACC.  James E.
Stowers  Jr.,  Chairman of ACC,  controls  ACC by virtue of his  ownership  of a
majority of its common stock.

*INVESTMENT ADVISOR

Each fund has an  investment  management  agreement  with the advisor,  American
Century Investment Management, Inc. A description of the responsibilities of the
advisor  appears  in the  Prospectus  under the  heading  "Management."  For the
services  provided to the funds,  the advisor  receives a monthly fee based on a
percentage of the average net assets of the fund.

On the first  business day of each month,  the funds pay a management fee to the
advisor for the previous  month at the specified  rate. The fee for the previous
month  is  calculated  by  multiplying  the  applicable  fee for the fund by the
aggregate average daily closing value of a fund's net assets during the previous
month,  and further  multiplying  that product by a fraction,  the  numerator of
which is the number of days in the previous  month and the  denominator of which
is 365 (366 in leap years).

The  management  agreement  shall  continue  in effect  until the earlier of the
expiration  of two  years  from the date of its  execution  or until  the  first
meeting of  shareholders  following such execution and for as long thereafter as
its  continuance  is  specifically  approved at least annually by (1) the funds'
Board of  Directors,  or by the vote of a  majority  of  outstanding  votes  (as
defined in the Investment  Company Act) and (2) by the vote of a majority of the
directors  of the funds  who are not  parties  to the  agreement  or  interested
persons of the  advisor,  cast in person at a meeting  called for the purpose of
voting on such approval.

The management  agreement provides that it may be terminated at any time without
payment  of any  penalty  by the funds'  Board of  Directors,  or by a vote of a
majority of outstanding  votes,  on 60 days' written notice to the advisor,  and
that it shall be automatically terminated if it is assigned.

The  management  agreement  provides that the advisor shall not be liable to the
funds or its  shareholders  for  anything  other than willful  misfeasance,  bad
faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of its obligations and duties.

The  management  agreement  also  provides  that the advisor  and its  officers,
directors and employees may engage in other business,  devote time and attention
to any other  business  whether of a similar or  dissimilar  nature,  and render
services to others.

Certain  investments may be appropriate for the funds and also for other clients
advised by the advisor. Investment decisions for the funds and other clients are
made with a view to  achieving  their  respective  investment  objectives  after
consideration  of such factors as their current  holdings,  availability of cash
for investment and the size of their investment generally. A particular security
may be bought or sold for only one client or fund,  or in different  amounts and
at  different  times  for more than one but less than all  clients  or fund.  In
addition,  purchases  or sales of the same  security may be made for two or more
clients or fund on the same date.  Such  transactions  will be  allocated  among
clients in a manner  believed by the advisor to be  equitable  to each.  In some
cases this procedure  could have an adverse effect on the price or amount of the
securities purchased or sold by a fund.

The advisor may  aggregate  purchase and sale orders of the funds with  purchase
and sale  orders  of its  other  clients  when the  advisor  believes  that such
aggregation  provides  the best  execution  for the funds.  The funds'  Board of
Directors has approved the policy of the advisor with respect to the aggregation
of portfolio  transactions.  Where portfolio  transactions have been aggregated,
the funds  participate at the average share price for all  transactions  in that
security on a given day and share  transaction  costs on a pro rata  basis.  The
advisor  will not  aggregate  portfolio  transactions  of the  funds  unless  it
believes such  aggregation is consistent with its duty to seek best execution on
behalf  of the  funds and the terms of the  management  agreement.  The  advisor
receives  no  additional  compensation  or  remuneration  as a  result  of  such
aggregation.

Investment  management  fees  paid by each  fund for the  fiscal  periods  ended
November 30, 1998, 1997 and 1996, are indicated in the following table.

BROKERAGE ALLOCATION

*THE EQUITY PORTION OF THE FUNDS

Under the management  agreement  between the funds and the advisor,  the advisor
has the  responsibility of selecting brokers to execute portfolio  transactions.
The funds' policy is to secure the most favorable prices and execution of orders
on its  portfolio  transactions.  So long as that policy is met, the advisor may
take into consideration the factors discussed below when selecting brokers.

The advisor receives  statistical and other information and services,  including
research,  without  cost from brokers and dealers.  The advisor  evaluates  such
information and services,  together with all other information that it may have,
in  supervising  and  managing  the  investments  of  the  funds.  Because  such
information  and services  may vary in amount,  quality and  reliability,  their
influence in selecting brokers varies from none to very substantial. The advisor
proposes to continue to place some of the funds' brokerage  business with one or
more brokers who provide information and services. Such information and services
will be in addition to and not in lieu of services  required to be  performed by
the advisor.  The advisor does not utilize brokers that provide such information
and  services  for the purpose of reducing  the  expense of  providing  required
services to the funds.

In the years ended November 30, 1998,  1997 and 1996, the brokerage  commissions
of each fund were as follows:

- ------------------------------------ ---------------- ------------ ------------
                   FUND                    1998           1997         1996
- ------------------------------------ ---------------- ------------ ------------
Strategic Allocation:  Conservative
Strategic Allocation:  Moderate
Strategic Allocation:  Aggressive

The  brokerage  commissions  paid by the funds may exceed  those  which  another
broker might have charged for  effecting the same  transactions,  because of the
value of the brokerage and research  services  provided by the broker.  Research
services   furnished  by  brokers  through  whom  the  funds  effect  securities
transactions  may be used by the advisor in servicing all of its  accounts,  and
not all such  services may be used by the advisor in managing the  portfolios of
the funds.

The staff of the SEC has expressed the view that the best price and execution of
over-the-counter  transactions in portfolio securities may be secured by dealing
directly  with  principal  market  makers,   thereby  avoiding  the  payment  of
compensation to another broker. In certain situations, the officers of the funds
and the advisor believe that the facilities,  expert personnel and technological
systems  of a broker  often  enable  the  funds to secure as good a net price by
dealing with a broker instead of a principal market maker, even after payment of
the compensation to the broker.  The funds regularly place its  over-the-counter
transactions  with  principal  market  makers,  but may also deal on a brokerage
basis when utilizing electronic trading networks or as circumstances warrant.

THE FIXED-INCOME PORTION OF THE FUNDS

Under the management  agreement  between the funds and the advisor,  the advisor
has the  responsibility  of selecting  brokers and dealers to execute  portfolio
transactions.  In many  transactions,  the  selection of the broker or dealer is
determined by the  availability of the desired  security and its offering price.
In other  transactions,  the  selection of broker or dealer is a function of the
selection  of  market  and the  negotiation  of price,  as well as the  broker's
general  execution and  operational  and financial  capabilities  in the type of
transaction involved. The advisor will seek to obtain prompt execution of orders
at the most favorable  prices or yields.  The advisor may choose to purchase and
sell portfolio  securities to and from dealers who provide services or research,
statistical  and  other  information  to the  funds  and to  the  advisor.  Such
information  or services  will be in addition to and not in lieu of the services
required to be performed  by the  advisor,  and the expenses of the advisor will
not  necessarily  be  reduced as a result of the  receipt  of such  supplemental
information.

INFORMATION ABOUT FUND SHARES

Each  of the 3  funds  named  on the  front  of  this  Statement  of  Additional
Information  is a series of shares issued by American  Century  Strategic  Asset
Allocations,  Inc.  In  addition,  each  series  (or fund) may be  divided  into
separate  classes.  See  the  discussions  under  the  heading  "MULTIPLE  CLASS
STRUCTURE"  that  follows.  Additional  funds and classes may be added without a
shareholder vote.

Each fund votes separately on matters  affecting that fund  exclusively.  Voting
rights  are not  cumulative,  so that  investors  holding  more  than 50% of the
corporation's (i.e., all funds') outstanding shares may be able to elect a Board
of Directors.  The corporation instituted  dollar-based voting, meaning that the
number of votes you are  entitled  to is based  upon the  dollar  amount of your
investment.  The election of directors is determined by the votes  received from
all of the  corporation's  shareholders  without regard to whether a majority of
shares of any one fund voted in favor of a particular nominee or all nominees as
a group.

The assets  belonging to each series or class of shares are held  separately  by
the  custodian  and the shares of each series or class  represent  a  beneficial
interest in the  principal,  earnings and profit (or losses) of  investment  and
other assets held for each series or class. Your rights as a shareholder are the
same for all series or class of securities unless otherwise stated. Within their
respective series or class, all shares have equal redemption rights. Each share,
when issued, is fully paid and non-assessable.

In the event of complete  liquidation or dissolution of the funds,  shareholders
of each series or class of shares shall be entitled to receive, pro rata, all of
the assets less the liabilities of that series or class.

Each shareholder has rights to dividends and distributions  declared by the fund
he or she owns and to the net  assets  of such  fund  upon  its  liquidation  or
dissolution  proportionate  to his or her share ownership  interest in the fund.
Shares  of each  fund  have  equal  voting  rights,  although  each  fund  votes
separately on matters affecting that fund exclusively.

MULTIPLE CLASS STRUCTURE

The funds' Board of Directors has adopted a multiple class plan (the "Multiclass
Plan")  pursuant to Rule 18f-3  adopted by the SEC.  Pursuant to such plan,  the
funds  may  issue  up  to  four  classes  of  shares:   an  Investor  Class,  an
Institutional  Class, a Service Class and an Advisor Class.  Not all funds offer
all four classes.

The Investor Class is made available to investors  directly  without any load or
commission, for a single unified management fee. The Institutional,  Service and
Advisor  Classes are made  available to  institutional  shareholders  or through
financial  intermediaries  that do not require the same level of shareholder and
administrative  services from the advisor as Investor Class  shareholders.  As a
result,  the advisor is able to charge these classes a lower  management fee. In
addition to the management fee, however, the Advisor Class shares are subject to
a Master Distribution and Shareholder Services Plan (described beginning on page
XX).  The plan has been  adopted by the funds'  Board of  Directors  and initial
shareholder  in  accordance  with  Rule  12b-1  adopted  by the  SEC  under  the
Investment Company Act.

*RULE 12b-1

Rule 12b-1 permits an  investment  company to pay expenses  associated  with the
distribution  of its shares in accordance  with a plan adopted by the investment
company's Board of Directors and approved by its shareholders.  Pursuant to such
rule, the Board of Directors and initial shareholder of the funds' Advisor Class
have approved and entered into a Master  Distribution  and Shareholder  Services
Plan. The Plan is described below.

In adopting the Plan, the Board of Directors  (including a majority of directors
who are not  "interested  persons"  of the funds [as  defined in the  Investment
Company Act], hereafter referred to as the "independent  directors")  determined
that there was a reasonable likelihood that the Plan would benefit the funds and
the shareholders of the affected class. Pursuant to Rule 12b-1, information with
respect to revenues  and  expenses  under the Plan is  presented to the Board of
Directors  quarterly for its  consideration in connection with its deliberations
as to the  continuance of the Plan.  Continuance of the Plan must be approved by
the Board of  Directors  (including  a majority  of the  independent  directors)
annually. The Plan may be amended by a vote of the Board of Directors (including
a  majority  of the  independent  directors),  except  that  the Plan may not be
amended to materially  increase the amount to be spent for distribution  without
majority approval of the shareholders of the affected class. The Plan terminates
automatically in the event of an assignment and may be terminated upon a vote of
a  majority  of the  independent  directors  or by  vote  of a  majority  of the
outstanding voting securities of the affected class.

All fees paid under the Plan will be made in  accordance  with Section 26 of the
Rules of Fair Practice of the National Association of Securities Dealers.

*MASTER DISTRIBUTION AND SHAREHOLDER SERVICES PLAN

As described in the Prospectus, the funds' Advisor Class of shares are also made
available to participants in employer-sponsored  retirement or savings plans and
to  persons  purchasing  through  financial   intermediaries,   such  as  banks,
broker-dealers  and insurance  companies.  The Distributor enters into contracts
with various  banks,  broker-dealers,  insurance  companies and other  financial
intermediaries  with respect to the sale of the funds'  shares and/or the use of
the funds' shares in various  investment  products or in connection with various
financial services.

Certain  recordkeeping  and  administrative  services  that are  provided by the
funds' transfer agent for the Investor Class  shareholders may be performed by a
plan sponsor (or its agents) or by a financial  intermediary for shareholders in
the Advisor Class.  In addition to such services,  the financial  intermediaries
provide various distribution services.

To  enable  the  funds'  shares  to be made  available  through  such  plans and
financial  intermediaries,  and to compensate them for such services, the funds'
advisor has reduced its  management  fee by 0.25% per annum with  respect to the
Advisor  Class  shares and the funds'  Board of  Directors  has adopted a Master
Distribution and Shareholder  Services Plan.  Pursuant to such Plan, the Advisor
Class shares pay a fee of 0.50%  annually of the aggregate  average daily assets
of the  funds'  Advisor  Class  shares,  0.25% of which is paid for  Shareholder
Services  (as  described  above)  and  0.25% of  which is paid for  distribution
services.

Distribution  services include any activity  undertaken or expense incurred that
is  primarily  intended  to result in the sale of Advisor  Class  shares,  which
services  may  include  but  are  not  limited  to,  (a) the  payment  of  sales
commissions,  on-going  commissions  and other  payments  to  brokers,  dealers,
financial  institutions  or others who sell  Advisor  Class  shares  pursuant to
Selling  Agreements;  (b)  compensation to registered  representatives  or other
employees of  Distributor  who engage in or support  distribution  of the funds'
Advisor Class shares; (c) compensation to, and expenses  (including overhead and
telephone  expenses)  of,   Distributor;   (d)  the  printing  of  prospectuses,
statements  of  additional  information  and  reports  for other  than  existing
shareholders; (e) the preparation, printing and distribution of sales literature
and advertising  materials  provided to the funds'  shareholders and prospective
shareholders;  (f)  receiving  and  answering  correspondence  from  prospective
shareholders,  including  distributing  prospectuses,  statements  of additional
information,  and shareholder reports; (g) the providing of facilities to answer
questions  from  prospective  investors  about fund shares;  (h) complying  with
federal and state  securities  laws  pertaining to the sale of fund shares;  (i)
assisting  investors in completing  application forms and selecting dividend and
other  account  options;  (j) the  providing of other  reasonable  assistance in
connection  with  the  distribution  of  fund  shares;  (k) the  organizing  and
conducting  of sales  seminars  and  payments in the form of  transactional  and
compensation  or promotional  incentives;  (l) profit on the foregoing;  (m) the
payment of "service fees" for the provision of personal,  continuing services to
investors,  as  contemplated  by the Rules of Fair  Practice of the NASD and (n)
such other distribution and services activities as the advisor determines may be
paid for by the funds  pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and in accordance
with Rule 12b-1 of the Investment Company Act.

BUYING AND SELLING FUND SHARES

Information about buying, selling and exchanging fund shares is contained in the
American  Century  Investor  Services Guide. The guide is available to investors
without charge and may be obtained by calling us.

VALUATION OF THE FUNDS' SECURITIES

Each fund's  share  price,  also  referred to as its net asset value  (NAV),  is
calculated  as of the close of  business  of the New York  Stock  Exchange  (the
Exchange),  usually at 3 p.m.  Central  time each day the  Exchange  is open for
business.  The Exchange has designated the following  holiday closings for 1999:
New Year's Day  (observed),  Martin Luther King Jr. Day,  Presidents'  Day, Good
Friday,  Memorial  Day,  Independence  Day,  Labor  Day,  Thanksgiving  Day  and
Christmas Day (observed). Although the funds expect the same holiday schedule to
be observed in the future,  the Exchange may modify its holiday  schedule at any
time.

The advisor  typically  completes  its trading on behalf of each fund in various
markets before the Exchange closes for the day. Each fund's NAV is calculated by
adding  the  value of all  portfolio  securities  and  other  assets,  deducting
liabilities  and  dividing  the  result by the  number  of  shares  outstanding.
Expenses and interest earned on portfolio securities are accrued daily.

The  portfolio  securities  of the fund,  except as otherwise  noted,  listed or
traded on a domestic  securities  exchange  are valued at the last sale price on
that  exchange.  Portfolio  securities  primarily  traded on foreign  securities
exchanges  are  generally  valued  at  the  preceding  closing  values  of  such
securities on the exchange where primarily traded. If no sale is reported, or if
local convention or regulation so provides, the mean of the latest bid and asked
prices is used.  Depending on local convention or regulation,  securities traded
over-the-counter  are priced at the mean of the latest bid and asked prices,  or
at the last sale  price.  When  market  quotations  are not  readily  available,
securities and other assets are valued at fair value as determined in accordance
with procedures adopted by the Board of Directors.

Debt securities not traded on a principal securities exchange are valued through
valuations obtained from a commercial pricing service or at the most recent mean
of the bid and asked prices  provided by investment  dealers in accordance  with
procedures established by the Board of Directors.

The value of an  exchange-traded  foreign security is determined in its national
currency  as of the close of  trading  on the  foreign  exchange  on which it is
traded or as of the close of business on the New York Stock Exchange, if that is
earlier.  That value is then  exchanged  to dollars  at the  prevailing  foreign
exchange rate.

Trading in  securities  on European  and Far Eastern  securities  exchanges  and
over-the-counter markets is normally completed at various times before the close
of  business on each day that the New York Stock  Exchange is open.  If an event
were to occur after the value of a security was  established  but before the net
asset value per share was  determined  that was likely to materially  change the
net asset value,  then that security would be valued at fair value as determined
in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Directors.

Trading of these  securities in foreign  markets may not take place on every New
York Stock Exchange business day. In addition, trading may take place in various
foreign  markets on Saturdays or on other days when the New York Stock  Exchange
is not  open  and on  which  the  fund's  net  asset  value  is not  calculated.
Therefore,  such  calculation  does not take  place  contemporaneously  with the
determination  of the prices of many of the  portfolio  securities  used in such
calculation  and the value of the fund's  portfolio may be affected on days when
shares of the fund may not be purchased or redeemed.

MULTIPLE CLASS PERFORMANCE ADVERTISING

Pursuant to the Multiple Class Plan, the funds may issue  additional  classes of
existing  funds or  introduce  new funds with  multiple  classes  available  for
purchase.  To the extent a new class is added to an existing  fund,  the advisor
may, in compliance with SEC and NASD rules,  regulations and guidelines,  market
the new class of shares  using the  historical  performance  information  of the
original class of shares. When quoting performance information for the new class
of shares for  periods  prior to the first full  quarter  after  inception,  the
original class'  performance will be restated to reflect the expenses of the new
class and for  periods  after the first full  quarter  after  inception,  actual
performance of the new class will be used.

TAXES

*FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

Each fund intends to qualify annually as a "regulated  investment company" under
Subchapter M of the Internal  Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").  By
so  qualifying,  a fund will be exempt from  federal  income taxes to the extent
that it  distributes  substantially  all of its net  investment  income  and net
realized capital gains (if any) to shareholders. If a fund fails to qualify as a
regulated  investment  company,  it  will be  liable  for  taxes,  significantly
reducing its distributions to shareholders and eliminating shareholders' ability
to treat  distributions  of the funds in the manner  they were  realized  by the
funds.

If fund shares are purchased  through  taxable  accounts,  distributions  of net
investment  income  and net  short-term  capital  gains  are  taxable  to you as
ordinary income. The dividends from net income may qualify for the 70% dividends
received  deduction  for  corporations  to the extent  that the fund held shares
receiving the dividend for more than 45 days.

Dividends and interest received by a fund on foreign securities may give rise to
withholding  and other  taxes  imposed by  foreign  countries.  Tax  conventions
between  certain  countries and the United  States may reduce or eliminate  such
taxes.  Foreign  countries  generally  do not impose  taxes on capital  gains in
respect of investments by  non-resident  investors.  The foreign taxes paid by a
fund will reduce its dividends.

If more  than  50% of the  value  of a fund's  total  assets  at the end of each
quarter of its fiscal year consists of securities of foreign  corporations,  the
fund may qualify for and make an election with the Internal Revenue Service with
respect to such  fiscal  year so that fund  shareholders  may be able to claim a
foreign tax credit in lieu of a deduction  for foreign  income taxes paid by the
fund.  If such an election is made,  the foreign  taxes paid by the fund will be
treated as income  received by you. In order for the  shareholder to utilize the
foreign  tax  credit,  the mutual fund shares must have been held for 16 days or
more during the 30-day period,  beginning 15 days prior to the ex-dividend  date
for the mutual fund shares.  The mutual fund must meet a similar  holding period
requirement  with  respect  to  foreign   securities  to  which  a  dividend  is
attributable.  Any portion of the foreign tax credit  which is  ineligible  as a
result of the fund not meeting the holding period requirement will be separately
disclosed and may be eligible as an itemized deduction.

If a fund purchases the securities of certain foreign investment funds or trusts
called passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), capital gains on the sale of
such  holdings will be deemed to be ordinary  income  regardless of how long the
fund holds its investment.  The fund may also be subject to corporate income tax
and an interest charge on certain  dividends and capital gains earned from these
investments,  regardless  of whether  such income and gains are  distributed  to
shareholders.  In the  alternative,  the fund may elect to recognize  cumulative
gains on such  investments  as of the last day of its fiscal year and distribute
it to shareholders.  Any distribution attributable to a PFIC is characterized as
ordinary income.

If you have not complied with certain  provisions  of the Internal  Revenue Code
and Regulations, either we or your financial intermediary is required by federal
law to  withhold  and remit to the IRS 31% of  reportable  payments  (which  may
include  dividends,   capital  gains   distributions  and  redemptions).   Those
regulations  require  you to  certify  that the  Social  Security  number or tax
identification number you provide is correct and that you are not subject to 31%
withholding for previous  under-reporting  to the IRS. You will be asked to make
the appropriate certification on your application.  Payments reported by us that
omit your Social Security number or tax identification number will subject us to
a penalty  of $50,  which will be charged  against  your  account if you fail to
provide  the  certification  by  the  time  the  report  is  filed,  and  is not
refundable.

*STATE AND LOCAL TAXES

Distributions  may also be  subject to state and local  taxes,  even if all or a
substantial  part  of such  distributions  are  derived  from  interest  on U.S.
government  obligations  which,  if you received them directly,  would be exempt
from state income tax. However, most but not all states allow this tax exemption
to pass  through  to fund  shareholders  when a fund pays  distributions  to its
shareholders.  You should  consult your tax advisor about the tax status of such
distributions in your own state.

HOW FUND PERFORMANCE INFORMATION IS CALCULATED

The funds may quote  performance in various ways. Fund  performance may be shown
by presenting one or more performance  measurements,  including cumulative total
return, average annual total return or yield.

All performance  information advertised by the funds is historical in nature and
is not  intended to represent or  guarantee  future  results.  The value of fund
shares when redeemed may be more or less than their original cost.

Total returns quoted in advertising and sales literature  reflect all aspects of
a fund's return,  including the effect of reinvesting dividends and capital gain
distributions (if any) and any change in the fund's NAV during the period.

Average annual total returns are calculated by determining the growth or decline
in value  of a  hypothetical  historical  investment  in a fund  during a stated
period and then calculating the annually  compounded  percentage rate that would
have produced the same result if the rate of growth or decline in value had been
constant  throughout the period.  For example, a cumulative total return of 100%
over 10 years  would  produce an average  annual  return of 7.18%,  which is the
steady  annual  rate that would equal 100%  growth on a  compounded  basis in 10
years.  While average  annual total returns are a convenient  means of comparing
investment alternatives, investors should realize that the funds' performance is
not constant over time, but changes from  year-to-year,  and that average annual
total  returns  represent  averaged  figures as  opposed to actual  year-to-year
performance.

The following  tables set forth the average  annual total return for the various
classes of the funds for the  one-year  period and the  period  since  inception
ended November 30, 1998, the last day of the funds' fiscal year.

</TABLE>

In addition to average annual total returns,  each fund may quote  unaveraged or
cumulative total returns  reflecting the simple change in value of an investment
over a stated  period,  including  periods  other  than one,  five and 10 years.
Average annual and  cumulative  total returns may be quoted as percentages or as
dollar  amounts  and may be  calculated  for a single  investment,  a series  of
investments,  or a series of redemptions over any time period. Total returns may
be broken down into their  components of income and capital  (including  capital
gains and  changes  in share  price) to  illustrate  the  relationship  of these
factors and their contributions to total return.

[Yield is calculated by adding over a 30-day (or one-month)  period all interest
and  dividend  income (net of fund  expenses)  calculated  on each day's  market
values,  dividing  this sum by the  average  number of fund  shares  outstanding
during the period, and expressing the result as a percentage of the fund's share
price on the last day of the 30-day (or  one-month)  period.  The  percentage is
then annualized. Capital gains and losses are not included in the calculation.

The following  table sets forth yield  quotations for the various classes of the
funds for the 30-day period ended  November 30, 1998, the last day of the fiscal
year pursuant to computation methods prescribed by the SEC.]

*ADDITIONAL PERFORMANCE COMPARISONS

The funds'  performance  may be compared  with the  performance  of other mutual
funds  tracked by mutual  fund rating  services or with other  indexes of market
performance.  This may include  comparisons with funds that, unlike the American
Century funds, are sold with a sales charge or deferred sales charge. Sources of
economic  data that may be used for such  comparisons  may include,  but are not
limited to, U.S. Treasury bill, note and bond yields,  money market fund yields,
U.S.  government debt and percentage held by foreigners,  the U.S. money supply,
net  free  reserves,  and  yields  on  current-coupon  GNMAs  (source:  Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve  System);  the federal funds and discount rates
(source:  Federal  Reserve  Bank of New York);  yield  curves for U.S.  Treasury

Associates,  Stocks, Bonds, Bills, and Inflation;  major indexes of stock market
performance;  and  indexes and  historical  data  supplied  by major  securities
brokerage or investment advisory firms. The funds also may utilize reprints from
newspapers  and magazines  furnished by third  parties to illustrate  historical
performance or to provide general information about the funds.

*PERMISSIBLE ADVERTISING INFORMATION

From  time to  time,  the  funds  may,  in  addition  to any  other  permissible
information,  include the  following  types of  information  in  advertisements,
supplemental  sales literature and reports to  shareholders:  (1) discussions of
general economic or financial principles (such as the effects of compounding and
the benefits of dollar-cost  averaging);  (2)  discussions  of general  economic
trends;  (3)  presentations of statistical data to supplement such  discussions;
(4)  descriptions of past or anticipated  portfolio  holdings for one or more of
the funds;  (5)  descriptions  of investment  strategies  for one or more of the
funds;  (6)  descriptions  or  comparisons  of various  savings  and  investment
products  (including,  but  not  limited  to,  qualified  retirement  plans  and
individual  stocks and  bonds),  which may or may not  include  the  funds;  (7)
comparisons of investment products (including the funds) with relevant market or
industry  indices  or other  appropriate  benchmarks;  (8)  discussions  of fund
rankings or ratings by recognized  rating  organizations;  and (9)  testimonials
describing  the  experience  of persons that have invested in one or more of the
funds. The funds may also include calculations, such as hypothetical compounding
examples, which describe hypothetical investment results in such communications.
Such performance examples will be based on an express set of assumptions and are
not indicative of the performance of any of the funds.

*MULTIPLE CLASS PERFORMANCE ADVERTISING

Pursuant to the Multiple Class Plan, the funds may issue  additional  classes of
existing  funds or  introduce  new funds with  multiple  classes  available  for
purchase.  To the extent a new class is added to an existing  fund,  the advisor
may, in compliance with SEC and NASD rules,  regulations and guidelines,  market
the new class of shares  using the  historical  performance  information  of the
original class of shares. When quoting performance information for the new class
of shares for  periods  prior to the first full  quarter  after  inception,  the
original class'  performance will be restated to reflect the expenses of the new
class and for  periods  after the first full  quarter  after  inception,  actual
performance of the new class will be used.

EXPLANATION OF FIXED INCOME SECURITIES RATINGS

As described in the Prospectus, the funds may invest in fixed income securities.
Those investments,  however, are subject to certain credit quality restrictions,
as noted in the Prospectus.  The following is a summary of the rating categories
referenced in the Prospectus disclosure.


Bond Ratings
- ------------- ------------- ----------------------------------------------------
    S&P         MOODY'S     DESCRIPTION
- ------------- ------------- ----------------------------------------------------
    AAA           Aaa       These are the  highest  ratings  assigned by S&P
                            and Moody's to a debt  obligation  and  indicates an
                            extremely  strong capacity to pay interest and repay
                            principal.
     AA            Aa       Debt rated in this category is considered to have
                            a very  strong  capacity to pay  interest  and repay
                            principal and differs from AAA/Aaa  issues only in a
                            small degree.
     A              A       Debt rated A has a strong capacity to pay interest
                            and repay  principal  although it is  somewhat  more
                            susceptible  to the  adverse  effects  of changes in
                            circumstances  and economic  conditions than debt in
                            higher-rated categories.
    BBB           Baa       Debt  rated  BBB/Baa  is  regarded  as having an
                            adequate   capacity  to  pay   interest   and  repay
                            principal.  Whereas it  normally  exhibits  adequate
                            protection  parameters,  adverse economic conditions
                            or changing circumstances are more likely to lead to
                            a  weakened  capacity  to  pay  interest  and  repay
                            principal   for  debt  in  this   category  than  in
                            higher-rated categories.
     BB            Ba       Debt rated BB/Ba has less near-term vulnerability to
                            default than other speculative issues.
                            However, it faces major ongoing uncertainties or 
                            exposure to adverse business, financial or
                            economic conditions that could lead to inadequate 
                            capacity to meet timely interest and
                            principal payments. The BB rating category also is 
                            used for debt subordinated to senior debt that is 
                            assigned an actual or implied BBB-rating.
     B             B        Debt rated B has a greater vulnerability to default 
                            but currently has the capacity to meet interest 
                            payments and principal repayments. Adverse 
                            business, financial or economic conditions will 
                            likely impair capacity or willingness to pay 
                            interest and repay principal.
                            The B rating category is also used for debt 
                            subordinated to senior debt that is assigned an
                            actual or implied BB/Ba or BB-/Ba3 rating.
    CCC           Caa       Debt rated CCC/Caa has a currently identifiable 
                            vulnerability to default and is dependent
                            upon favorable business, financial and economic 
                            conditions to meet timely payment of
                            interest and repayment of principal. In the event of
                            adverse business, financial or economic conditions, 
                            it is not likely to have the capacity to pay 
                            interest and repay principal. The CCC/Caa rating 
                            category is also used for debt subordinated to 
                            senior debt that is assigned an actual or implied B 
                            or B-/B3 rating.
     CC            Ca       The rating CC/Ca typically is applied to debt 
                            subordinated to senior debt that is assigned
                            an actual or implied CCC/Caa rating.
     C              C       The  rating  C  typically   is  applied  to  debt
                            subordinated  to senior  debt,  which is assigned an
                            actual  or  implied  CCC-/Caa3  debt  rating.  The C
                            rating  may be used to  cover  a  situation  where a
                            bankruptcy petition has been filed, but debt service
                            payments are continued.
     CI            -        The rating CI is reserved for income bonds on which 
                            no interest is being paid.
     D             D        Debt rated D is in payment default. The D rating 
                            category is used when interest payments or
                            principal payments are not made on the date due even
                            if the applicable grace period has not
                            expired, unless S&P believes that such payments will
                            be made during such grace period. The
                            D rating  also  will be used  upon the  filing  of a
                            bankruptcy  petition if debt  service  payments  are
                            jeopardized.

To provide more detailed  indications of credit  quality,  the Standard & Poor's
ratings  from AA to CCC may be modified by the  addition of a plus or minus sign
to show  relative  standing  within  these major rating  categories.  Similarly,
Moody's adds numerical  modifiers (1,2,3) to designate  relative standing within
its major bond rating categories. Fitch Investors Service, Inc. also rates bonds
and uses a ratings system that is substantially similar to that used by Standard
& Poor's.

A-1           Prime-1         This indicates that the degree of safety regarding timely payment is strong. Standard &
              (P-1)           Poor's rates those issues determined to possess extremely strong safety characteristics
                              as A-1+.
A-2           Prime-2         Capacity for timely payment on commercial paper is satisfactory, but the relative degree
              (P-2)           of safety is not as high as for issues designated A-1. Earnings trends and coverage
                              ratios,  while  sound,  will  be more  subject  to
                              variation.  Capitalization characteristics,  while
                              still  appropriated,   may  be  more  affected  by
                              external conditions.  Ample alternate liquidity is
                              maintained.
A-3           Prime-3         Satisfactory capacity for timely repayment. Issues that carry this rating are somewhat
              (P-3)           more vulnerable to the adverse changes in circumstances than obligations carrying the

SP-1          MIG-1; VMIG-1   Notes are of the  highest  quality enjoying strong  protection from  established cash
                              flows  of  funds  for  their   servicing  or  from established and  broad-based  access 
                              to the market for refinancing, or both.
SP-2          MIG-2; VMIG-2   Notes are of high quality, with margins of protection ample, although not so large as in
                              the preceding group.
SP-3          MIG-3; VMIG-3   Notes are of favorable quality, with all security  elements  accounted for, but lacking
                              the undeniable  strength of the preceding  grades.  Market access for refinancing, in 
                              particular, is likely to be less well established.
SP-4          MIG-4; VMIG-4   Notes  are  of  adequate  quality, carrying  specific risk but having  protection and
                              not distinctly or predominantly speculative.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

     As counsel to American  Century  Strategic  Asset  Allocations,  Inc., I am
generally familiar with its affairs.  Based upon this familiarity,  and upon the
examination  of such documents as I deemed  relevant,  it is my opinion that the
shares of the  Corporation  described in  Post-Effective  Amendment No. 4 to its
Registration  Statement  on Form  N-1A,  to be  filed  with the  Securities  and
Exchange  Commission on January 5, 1999,  will, when issued,  be validly issued,
fully paid and nonassessable.

     For the  record,  it should be stated  that I am an  employee  of  American
Century  Services  Corporation,  an affiliated  corporation of American  Century
Investment Management, Inc., the investment advisor of the Corporation.

     I hereby consent to the use of this opinion as an exhibit to Post-Effective
Amendment No. 4, referenced above.

                                 Very truly yours,

                                 /s/Charles A. Etherington

instruments  which said  attorneys and agents may deem necessary or advisable to

thereunder, in connection with the registration under the Securities Act of 1933

but without limitation of the foregoing, power and authority to sign the name of
the  Corporation in its behalf and to affix its corporate  seal, and to sign the
names of each of such  directors and officers in their  capacities as indicated,
to any  amendment or  supplement to the  Registration  Statement  filed with the
Securities and Exchange  Commission  under the Securities Act of 1933 and/or the
