Stowers Resource Management Inc. (“SRM”) is a “supporting organization” (as that term is defined in the Internal Revenue Code), and as such, a public charity. Its primary function as a legal entity is to support the Stowers Institute for Medical Research (“SIMR”). Jim and Virginia Stowers founded SIMR in 1994 as a not-for-profit institute dedicated to benefiting humankind through basic research on genes and proteins that control fundamental processes in living cells to unlock the mysteries of disease (including cancer) and find the keys to their causes, treatment, and prevention. It is one of the largest endowments in the world among private basic biomedical research institutions. Through its ownership interest, SRM is entitled to over forty percent of all dividends paid by ACC. All active, eligible employees of ACC and its subsidiaries participate in ownership of the firm through the American Century Retirement Plan. Since May 19, 2016, Nomura Holdings, Inc. (“Nomura”) has held a minority interest in ACC and holds two of eleven seats on ACC’s board of directors. From investment management and general business perspectives, however, ACC and Nomura are legally and operationally independent and distinct. Our Advisory Services American Century Investments manages client portfolios based on various investment strategies within the following disciplines: Disciplined Equity, Global Growth Equity (both U.S. and Global/Non-U.S.), Global Value Equity, Global Fixed Income, Multi-Asset Strategies, Page | 4

American Century Rules-Based ETF strategies, Avantis Investors strategies, and funds and private investment funds managed by American Century Investments’ private investments team (the “American Century Private Investments Team” and such strategy/discipline, “American Century Private Investments”). American Century Investments may also provide supervisory services, such as glide path

management, asset allocation model investment portfolios or similar services. Asset allocation model portfolios generally only include American Century Investments funds or have a very significant percentage of the portfolio allocated to American Century Investments funds. These models may be provided to affiliated or unaffiliated investment advisers or financial professionals who retain discretion on behalf of their clients to implement, modify, or not implement the model portfolio we provide to them. The models are not personalized for the clients of any adviser or financial professional. In certain cases, American Century Investments may use an optimization tool to evaluate a portfolio and make recommendations with respect to asset classes included within the portfolio. Such evaluations are performed by American Century Investments utilizing inputs and data provided by the relevant financial professional. These "optimizer" model portfolios may include, but are not limited to, American Century Investments funds. The output of the optimization tool will change based on inputs provided by the relevant financial professional and results will vary over time. Whether the model portfolio is acted upon is entirely up to the adviser or other financial professional receiving the model. American Century Investments does not monitor or manage any investments made or accounts opened by clients that utilize model investment portfolios, whether those accounts are with American Century Investments, its affiliates or elsewhere. In addition, American Century Investments provides discretionary and nondiscretionary investment advice through managed account (“Traditional SMA”) or model portfolio (“Model Portfolio”) programs (collectively, Traditional SMA and Model Portfolio programs are referred to as “Managed Accounts”) for financial institution sponsors (each a “Sponsor”) and other institutional clients (“Advisory Clients”). Traditional SMA relationships may include single contract SMA programs, where American Century Investments has an advisory agreement with the Sponsor under which we manage the client’s assets in an approved strategy, and dual contract SMA programs, where American Century Investments enters into an advisory agreement directly with the end client. Managed Account portfolios are generally representative

Page | 5

of an existing American Century Investments strategy that has been optimized for the Managed Account vehicle and not a replication of another fund or portfolio utilizing a similar strategy. As of December 31, 2025, American Century Investments had approximately $306,453,457,000 in total assets under supervision. 1 Of this amount, American Century Investments managed approximately $305,995,891,000 of client assets on a discretionary basis and managed approximately $457,566,000 of client assets on a non-discretionary basis.

American Century Government Income Trust, American Century Investment Trust, American Century Quantitative Equity Funds, Inc., American Century International Bond Funds, American Century Asset Allocation Portfolios, Inc. and American Century ETF Trust. We manage these funds in accordance with the investment objectives and policies as set forth in their respective registration statements filed with the SEC, and in accordance with the terms and conditions of the investment management agreement between us and each of the issuers of the funds. Pursuant to the investment management agreements, we are responsible for managing the investment portfolios of each American Century Investments fund and, unless the investment portfolio is managed by one or more sub-advisers, directing the purchase and sale of its investment securities. If we engage one or more sub-advisers to manage all or a portion of an investment portfolio, we are also responsible for overseeing the performance of such subadvisers. The management agreements may be terminated by either party upon sixty days' notice. For the services we provide to the American Century Investments funds, American Century Investments receives a unified management fee based on a percentage of the daily net assets American Century Investments’ regulatory assets under management are approximately $305,966,952,000. Regulatory assets under management reflect those accounts where American Century provides continuous and regular supervisory services and excludes certain accounts, such as model delivery accounts, where American Century does not have discretionary authority and does not arrange for effecting purchases and/or sales of the securities in such account.

of each class of shares of the fund. The amount of the fee is accrued daily and deducted from fund assets monthly in arrears. Out of that fee, we pay all expenses of managing and operating the American Century Investments mutual funds (such as sub-advisory fees and custodial fees), except brokerage expenses, expenses on securities sold short, taxes, interest, fees and expenses of the independent directors (including legal counsel fees), portfolio insurance, extraordinary expenses and expenses incurred in connection with the provision of shareholder services and distribution services under a plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”). For American Century Investments ETFs and Avantis Investors mutual funds and ETFs, we pay all expenses of managing and operating the ETFs, other than the management fee, brokerage and other transaction fees and expenses relating to the acquisition and disposition of portfolio securities, acquired fund fees and expenses, interest, taxes, the fees and expenses of the independent trustees (including counsel fees), litigation expenses, extraordinary expenses, and expenses incurred in connection with the provision of shareholder and distribution services under a plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act (if any). Basic Fee Schedule. The management agreements between American Century Investments and the funds provide that each fund, in exchange for the investment advisory services we provide, will pay us an annual management fee. The amount of the fee is based on a percentage of the net assets of the fund and is calculated daily and paid monthly in arrears. American Century Investments manages funds that utilize both flat and stepped fee schedules. Flat fee schedules do not include breakpoints, while stepped fee schedules apply breakpoints at specified asset levels, which, when reached, reduce the applicable management fee.

American Century Investments Funds with a Stepped Fee Schedule. For each American Century Investments fund with a stepped fee schedule, the rate of the management fee is determined by applying the formula indicated in the fund’s prospectus. In some cases, this formula takes into account the assets of the fund, as well as certain assets, if any, of our other clients of the advisor outside the American Century Investments fund family (such as funds we sub-advise and separate accounts), as well as exchange-traded funds managed by the advisor that use very similar investment teams and strategies (strategy assets). The use of strategy assets, rather than fund assets alone, in calculating a fund’s fee rate could allow the fund to realize scheduled cost savings more quickly. However, it is possible that a fund’s strategy assets will not include assets of other client accounts or that any such assets may not be sufficient to result in a lower fee rate.

For certain other American Century Investments funds, the annual rate at which our management fee is assessed is determined daily in a two-step process. First, the assets of certain accounts within the same broad investment category are included in the pool of assets used to determine a category rate (the “Investment Category Fee”). For example, when calculating our management fee for a money market fund, the assets of all money market funds that we manage are aggregated to determine the Investment Category Fee. Currently, American Century Investments funds fall within one of the following three investment categories: money market funds, bond funds and certain equity funds. Second, the assets of all mutual funds managed by American Century Investments and distributed by American Century Investment Services, Inc. are aggregated to determine a separate rate referred to as the "Complex Fee." The Investment Category Fee and the Complex Fee are then combined to determine a fund-level fee rate. The use of Complex Fee and Investment Category Fee schedules in calculating the fund-level fee rate for a particular fund could allow that fund to realize scheduled cost savings more quickly if we acquire additional assets under management (in addition to the fund's assets) within a Complex Category and Investment Category. Fees Paid by Private Investment Funds The fees applicable to the private investment funds are described in such fund’s limited partnership agreement, operating agreement and/or other offering documents, including any offering memoranda (together, the “Fund Documents”). Investors in the private investment funds are generally charged an annual management fee, paid quarterly in advance, ranging from 0-2%, which may be based on a percentage of capital commitments, invested capital or otherwise as described in the applicable Fund Documents. Additionally, American Century Investments and its affiliates have the potential to earn performance-based compensation with respect to the private investment funds in the form of carried interest distributions. The amount, as well as the manner of calculation and application of the management fees and carried interest allocations are disclosed in the applicable Fund Documents. Certain investors of the private investment funds may negotiate different or lower management fees or carried interest distributions on a case-by-case basis. The carried interest will fully comply with Rule 205-3 under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the “Advisers Act”). Private Investment Fund Expenses. Generally, each private investment fund is responsible for its organizational and operating expenses in accordance with such private investment fund’s Fund Documents. Fees by Type of Client The prospectus of each American Century Investments fund and Fund Documents for each private investment fund sets forth the applicable fees and expenses.

The management fees for our advisory services are negotiable, and, except for investors in the private investment funds as noted above, no fees are paid by clients in advance. Our fee for providing advisory services to separate account clients (which includes pension, profit sharing and other retirement plans, charitable institutions, endowment funds and foundations, state and municipal government entities, sovereign funds, and other U.S. and foreign institutions), as well as discretionary and nondiscretionary advisory services to Managed Account clients ranges, from 0.10% to 0.95% of the net asset value of assets under management for equity portfolios and may be calculated on the basis of average daily value of the portfolio or the average of the month end balances of the applicable period or based on the quarter end balance (depending upon the terms of the management agreement). These fees generally are billed to the client quarterly in arrears (unless the terms of the management agreement provide otherwise) and are negotiable. Fees for Managed Accounts provided to Sponsors are paid to American Century Investments by each Sponsor from the single fee a client pays to the Sponsor. Fees for Managed Accounts provided to Advisory Clients may be based on a percentage of assets under advisement or may be a fixed amount. These fees generally are billed and paid quarterly in arrears (unless the terms of the management agreement provide otherwise) and are negotiable. Our fee charged for providing advisory services to group trusts ranges from 0.135% to 0.76% of the net asset value of the group trust, depending upon the investment objective of the group trust. The client has the option of either having these fees deducted from the client’s assets quarterly in arrears or billed to the client quarterly in arrears. Our management fees for group trusts are negotiable. For asset allocation model portfolios, American Century Investments may or may not charge a fee for making the model available to Managed Account Sponsors, advisers, broker-dealers, turnkey asset management programs (TAMPs) or other financial intermediaries. Even if the model portfolio is provided without any direct fees, American Century does receive compensation indirectly by virtue of the management fees it receives for advisory services provided to the American Century Investments funds included in the model. This structure results in more revenue to American Century Investments and its affiliates than would result from an allocation to unaffiliated funds or products. Clients should consult their own independent professional advisor(s) to determine whether such arrangement is appropriate and in their continuing best interests. Details regarding the fees and expenses charged by any such American Century Investments funds, including the applicable management fee rate, are discussed above and are also disclosed in the prospectus for each such fund. American Century Investments fund prospectuses are available at americancentury.com at any time for any investor.

American Century Investments also serves as the investment manager of non-U.S. funds or ETFs structured as Undertakings for Collective Investments in Transferable Securities (“UCITS”) and organized under the laws of Ireland. The UCITS funds employ a single fee structure with each fund paying a flat fee out of the assets of the relevant fund (the “total expense ratio” or “TER”). The TER is calculated and accrued on a daily basis and is deducted from the fund’s assets monthly in arrears at annual rates described in the UCITS prospectus and the applicable fund’s supplement. Where all of the costs and expenses of a fund or class of the UCITS are met and exceeded by the TER, we receive any excess from the TER as the investment management fee. Our fee for providing advisory services as a sub-adviser to mutual funds, UCITS and other pooled vehicles that are not American Century Investments funds ranges from 0.10% to 0.80% of the net asset value of the funds. These fees are calculated based upon the average daily value of the portfolio during the applicable period. The above fees are generally paid to us by the investment adviser of the fund monthly or quarterly in arrears (depending upon the terms of the fund’s management agreement) and are negotiable. No fees are payable in advance. With respect to certain investors in non-U.S. funds which American Century Investments acts as investment manager or sub-adviser, we may rebate all or a portion of our investment management fees and/or provide reimbursements relating to certain expense types or specified amounts of expenses. In addition to an asset-based fee, certain “qualified clients” (as such term is defined in Rule 205-3 under the Advisers Act) may be charged a negotiable performance-based fee. The performance-based fee is based on a portion of the capital gains or capital appreciation of a client's account, subject to certain conditions. The performance-based fee is authorized by the investment management agreement with the client and/or disclosed in portfolio disclosure documents. The fee is calculated by multiplying a certain, negotiated percentage by the amount, if any, by which the fund’s performance exceeds a set base rate. The fee is subject to a fee cap and is billed upon contract terms, either quarterly or annually based upon the cumulative performance of the fund. The performance-based fee will fully comply with Rule 205-3 under the Advisers Act.

flat fee or asset-based fee ("side-by side management"). Performance-based fees and carried interest and side-by-side management may create conflicts of interest, which we have identified and described in the following paragraph. Performance-based fees and carried interest may create an incentive for our firm to make investments that are riskier or more speculative than would be the case absent such arrangement. In order to address this potential conflict of interest, the investment oversight committee of our firm periodically reviews the implementation of investment strategies to ensure that investments are suitable and that the strategy is being managed according to the strategy's investment objectives and risk parameters. Performance-based fees and carried interest may also create an incentive for us to overvalue investments that lack a market quotation. In order to address such conflict, we have adopted policies and procedures that require us to "fair value" any investments that do not have a readily ascertainable value. Sideby-side management might provide an incentive for our firm to favor accounts for which we receive a performance-based fee or carried interest. For example, we may have an incentive to allocate limited investment opportunities, such as initial public offerings, to clients who are charged performance-based fees or carried interest over clients who are charged asset-based fees only. To address this conflict of interest, we have instituted policies and procedures that require our firm to allocate investment opportunities (if they are suitable) fairly, regardless of whether the client is charged performance fees or carried interest.

Each type of client or vehicle will generally be representative of an investment strategy managed by American Century Investments that has been optimized for that client account or vehicle type. As such, different client account or vehicle types, even if they utilize the same investment strategy, may not be a replication of another fund or portfolio, and thus seek only to replicate the performance contour of the investment strategy. While most vehicles share a model strategy, the investment team constructs the portfolios in each vehicle independently and in accordance with vehicle-specific requirements.

With respect to institutional separate account and Managed Account clients, before American Century Investments agrees to manage a prospective client’s account, we may require the prospective client to provide, or commit to provide within a certain timeframe, a minimum dollar amount of assets to be managed by us. We may also require a client to maintain a minimum dollar amount under our management in order to remain our client. These minimum dollar amounts, when applicable, are determined by the officers of American Century Investments, depend upon circumstances that they deem pertinent, and may vary from client to client. Minimum account size for Managed Account programs typically depends on various factors, including the product type, investment strategy, and any Sponsor specific requirements. The American Century Private Investments Team provides services to private investment funds. Interests in certain private investment funds that are exempt from registration under the Investment Company Act are only offered to “accredited investors” as defined in Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and who meet other suitability requirements as may be determined by American Century Investments. The Fund Documents for each private investment fund set forth further information with respect to suitability and minimum investment requirements for an investment in such private investment fund.

At the security level, fundamental analysis is the evaluation of factors that can affect a security’s value, including company-specific factors (such as financial statements and company management) and/or macroeconomic factors (such as overall economy and industry conditions), with the goal of determining the intrinsic value of the asset given its future expectations and comparing that to the current price of the security. Quantitative factors are numeric, measurable characteristics used in evaluating the security. These can include data from income statements and balance sheets of a company, as well as other factors relating to the management of the asset. Qualitative factors include subjective judgment on non-

Page | 12

quantifiable information, such as management skill, industry cycles, brand value and pricing power. These factors are less tangible and more subjective than quantitative factors. Quantitative research and analysis – This method seeks to understand behavior of a security by using complex mathematical and statistical modeling, measurement, and research. The application of this methodology utilizes computer-based models to disseminate financial data in order to make valid projections about the future performance of the company or asset. These models also determine the attractiveness of a security in relation to the overall portfolio and its investment objective. Technical analysis – This method analyzes statistics generated by market activity, such as security price and trading volume. These statistics are then charted to identify patterns that may be recurrent or predictable. Risk analysis – This method includes the identification and quantification of a variety of risk factors in order to adjust a portfolio to an appropriate risk level given its objective or to confirm that the risk factors are in line with the expectations of the portfolio managers. Associated risks. All of the above methods of analysis rely on, among other things, data used to predict the current or future value of an investment. Such data may be sourced from external sources. While the data and information we source is generally considered reliable, we cannot guarantee, nor have we verified, its accuracy. In addition, some of the data utilized is subjective and may be open to interpretation. Additionally, there is an element of human risk in that portfolio managers may not execute effectively on the portfolio’s stated investment strategy. Both quantitative and technical analysis rely more on the objective evaluation of data in driving investment decisions. These analyses may not take into account subjective elements about an investment, which may be relevant when determining the value of the investment. Investing in securities involves a risk of loss that each client should be prepared to bear. At any given time, it is possible to lose money by investing in a portfolio we manage.

Investment Strategies Equity, Fixed Income and Multi-Asset Strategies – Generally Most client portfolios managed by American Century Investments pursue an investment strategy using an equity, fixed income or multi-asset approach. Information about these approaches and the risks associated with each is provided below. Despite the investment strategy pursued, all portfolios managed by American Century Investments are exposed to other risks as well. The value of our client portfolios depends on the value of the securities owned. The value of the individual securities held in a client’s portfolio will go up and down depending on the performance of the companies that issued them, general market and economic conditions, and investor confidence. When pursuing the investment strategies for our clients’ portfolios, we assume that the financial markets will go up over the long-term, which may not be the case. Additionally, there is a risk that the segment of the market in which a portfolio is invested will not perform in line with the overall financial markets. Our portfolio managers do not attempt to time the market. Instead, under normal market conditions, they intend to keep the portfolios generally fully invested regardless of the movement of prices. All portfolios are also exposed to investment strategy risk. Market performance tends to be cyclical, and, in the various cycles, certain investment styles may fall in and out of favor. If the market is not favoring the investment strategy used by a particular equity portfolio, the portfolio’s gains may not be as big as, or its losses may be bigger than, those of other equity portfolios using a different investment strategy. The performance of some portfolios is tied more closely to the performance of a benchmark. As such, if a portfolio’s benchmark performance goes down, it is likely that the portfolio’s performance will also go down. Some portfolios we manage are diversified while others are non-diversified. A non-diversified portfolio may invest a greater percentage of its assets in a smaller number of securities than a diversified portfolio. This gives the portfolio managers the flexibility to hold larger positions in a smaller number of securities. If so, a price change in any one of those securities may have greater impact on the portfolio’s share price than would be the case in a diversified portfolio. A portfolio’s value may fluctuate significantly in the short term. The following sections provide a summary of the principal risks associated with investments in each of the approaches we use. This is a summary only. You should review the respective investment management agreement, as well as any applicable offering memorandum or risk disclosures. For a mutual fund or exchange traded fund, you should review the applicable Page | 14

Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information; and for a private investment fund, the applicable Fund Documents. Equity Portfolios Overview. We offer and manage a broad range of equity investment strategies. These strategies can be specific to an investment style, including growth, core, and value, or may be designed to be “style-neutral.” Some strategies focus on specific capitalization ranges, such as large cap, mid cap, or small cap, while others may invest in more than one capitalization category or across all capitalization levels. In addition, we manage strategies that are global/multinational or may be focused on particular geographic regions or a specific country. We manage diversified strategies which invest across industry sectors, as well as strategies that concentrate on specific industry sectors. Our equity strategies may be based on fundamental research and analysis or may instead rely primarily on quantitative tools and techniques or technical analytical methods and strategies. We may utilize strategies that take both long and short positions in equities, issued by companies across all market capitalizations, based on whether we believe a security is likely to increase or decrease in value, respectively. Principal Risks. Market performance tends to be cyclical and, in the various cycles, certain investment styles (growth, core, value, fundamental, quantitative) may fall in and out of favor. If the market is not favoring the specific style used and/or the securities within the portfolio’s benchmark, the portfolio’s gains may not be as big as, or its losses may be bigger than, other equity portfolios using different investment styles. For strategies that favor a growth style, growth stocks are typically priced higher than other stocks in relation to earnings and other measures, because investors believe they have more growth potential. This potential may or may not be realized. If the portfolio managers’ assessment of a company’s prospects for earnings growth or how other investors will value the company’s earnings growth is incorrect, the price of the company’s stock may fall or fail to reach the value the portfolio managers have placed on it. Growth stock prices tend to fluctuate more dramatically than the overall stock market. For strategies that favor a value style, if the market does not consider the individual stocks purchased by a value portfolio to be undervalued, the value of the securities it holds may not rise as high as other portfolios and may in fact decline, even if stock prices generally are increasing. Because certain portfolios may be more heavily invested in companies of a certain size, while others are multi-capitalization portfolios that invest in companies of all sizes, each portfolio is exposed to a degree of capitalization risk. Small- and medium-sized companies may present greater opportunities for capital growth than larger companies, but may be more volatile and subject to greater risk. Smaller companies may have limited financial resources, product lines Page | 15

and markets, and their securities may trade less frequently and in more limited volumes than the securities of larger companies. In addition, smaller companies may have less publicly available information. The portfolio managers may buy a large amount of a company’s stock quickly and may dispose of it quickly. While the portfolio managers believe this strategy provides substantial appreciation potential over the long term, in the short term it can create a significant amount of share price volatility. This volatility can be greater than that of the average stock portfolio. Investing in a particular geographic region or country has certain unique risks. These risks include increased exposure to political, social, and economic events in world markets; limited availability of public information about a company; less-developed trading markets and regulatory practices; and a lack of uniform financial reporting practices. Securities of issuers in certain regions or countries may be less liquid, more volatile, and harder to value. Investing in securities of companies located in emerging market countries generally is also riskier than investing in securities of companies located in developed countries. Emerging market countries may have unstable governments and/or economies that are subject to sudden change. These changes may be magnified by the countries’ emergent financial markets, resulting in significant volatility to investments in these countries. These countries also may lack the legal, business, and social framework to support securities markets. Additionally, U.S. law requires that Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) registered accounting firms, which prepare or issue audit opinions for U.S.-listed issuers, submit to PCAOB inspections and produce audit work papers. This requirement applies to audit opinions for all U.S.-listed issuers, regardless of the domicile of the issuer. Certain jurisdictions do not provide the PCAOB with sufficient access to inspect audit work papers and practices, or otherwise do not cooperate with U.S. regulators. This lack of access and cooperation potentially exposes investors in U.S. capital markets to significant risks of capital loss and limits the rights and remedies available to funds and shareholders. In addition, investments in foreign countries are subject to currency risk, meaning that, because a strategy’s investments are generally denominated in foreign currencies, the strategy could experience gains or losses based solely on changes in the exchange rate between foreign currencies and the base currency of the strategy. If the market price of a security increases after a security is borrowed and sold short, the portfolio will suffer a loss when it replaces the borrowed security at the higher price. Any loss will be increased by the amount of compensation, interest or dividends, and transaction costs paid to a lender of the security. Stocks selected by the portfolio managers using quantitative models may perform differently than expected due to the portfolio managers' judgments regarding the factors used in the Page | 16

models, the weight placed on each factor, changes from the factors' historical trends, and technical issues with the construction and implementation of the models (including, for example, data problems and/or software or other implementation issues). Additionally, the commonality of portfolio holdings across quantitative investment managers across the industry may amplify losses. Fixed Income Portfolios Overview. We invest in fixed income instruments across duration (from money market and short bond to intermediate to long bond) and credit (from investment grade to high yield) spectrums. Some approaches seek investment opportunities across various sectors, including government, securitized, corporate, bank loans and other floating rate debt, municipal and emerging markets debt, while others are limited to one or more of those sectors. We also manage global, multiregional, and multicurrency approaches. Our fixed income portfolio managers rely on fundamental research capabilities, as well as quantitative and technical analytical tools. Our investment approaches often utilize a combination of these capabilities and tools. Principal Risks. When interest rates change, a fixed income portfolio’s value will be affected. Generally, when interest rates rise, the portfolio’s value will decline. The opposite is true when interest rates decline. The degree to which interest rate changes affect performance varies and is related to the duration of the portfolio. For example, when interest rates rise, you can expect the share value of a long-term bond portfolio to fall more than that of a short-term bond portfolio. When rates fall, the opposite is true. A portfolio’s investments are designed to reduce this risk. A period of rising interest rates may negatively affect performance. Debt securities, even investment-grade debt securities, are subject to credit risk. Credit risk is the risk that the inability or perceived inability of the issuer to make interest and principal payments will cause the value of the securities to decrease. As a result, the portfolio’s value could also decrease. A high credit rating indicates a high degree of confidence by the rating organization that the issuer will be able to withstand adverse business, financial or economic conditions, and make interest and principal payments on time. A lower credit rating indicates a greater risk of non-payment. Changes in the credit rating of a debt security held could have a similar effect. Lower quality securities are even more vulnerable to real or perceived economic changes (such as an economic downturn or a prolonged period of rising interest rates), political changes, or adverse developments specific to the issuer. In addition, lower-rated securities may be unsecured or subordinated to other obligations of the issuer. These factors may be more likely to cause an issuer of low-quality debt securities to default on its obligation to pay the interest and principal due under its securities.

Page | 17

A portfolio may invest in debt securities backed by mortgages or assets such as auto loan, home equity loan or student loan receivables. These underlying obligations may be prepaid, as when a homeowner refinances a mortgage to take advantage of declining interest rates. If so, the portfolio must reinvest prepayments at current rates, which may be less than the rate of the prepaid mortgage. Because of this prepayment risk, the portfolio may benefit less from declining interest rates than portfolios of similar maturity that invest less heavily in mortgage- and assetbacked securities. Conversely, an issuer may exercise its right to pay principal on an obligation held by the fund later than expected (extend the obligation) especially in periods of rising interest rates. These events may lengthen the duration (i.e., interest rate sensitivity) and potentially reduce the value of these securities. Investments in bank loans may not be highly liquid and may be subject to delayed settlement. In connection with purchasing loan participations, there is generally no right to enforce compliance by borrowers with loan terms nor any set off rights, and we may not benefit directly from any posted collateral. As a result, the investment may be subject to the credit risk of both the borrower and the lender selling the participation. Collateralized obligations, such as collateralized loan obligations (CLOs), are subject to credit, interest rate, valuation, and prepayment and extension risks. These securities also are subject to risk of default on the underlying asset, particularly during periods of economic downturn. The market value of collateralized obligations may be affected by, among other things, changes in the market value of the underlying assets held by the collateralized obligation, changes in the distributions on the underlying assets, defaults and recoveries on the underlying assets, capital gains and losses on the underlying assets, prepayments on underlying assets, and the availability, and prices and interest rates of underlying assets. Investing in a particular geographic region or country has certain unique risks. These risks include fluctuations in currency exchange rates, unstable social, political, and economic structures, reduced availability of public information, and the lack of uniform financial reporting and regulatory practices. Securities of foreign issuers may be less liquid, more volatile, and harder to value. Investing in securities of issuers located in emerging market countries generally is also riskier than investing in securities of issuers located in foreign developed countries due to lower liquidity, market manipulation concerns, limited reliable access to capital, and differing company organizational structures. Emerging market countries may have unstable governments and/or economies that are subject to sudden change. These changes may be magnified by the countries’ emergent financial markets, resulting in significant volatility to investments in these countries. These countries also may lack the legal, business and social framework to support securities markets. Additionally, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 requires that PCAOB registered accounting firms, which prepare or issue audit opinions for U.S.-listed issuers, submit Page | 18

to PCAOB inspections and produce audit work papers. This requirement applies to audit opinions for all U.S.-listed issuers, regardless of the domicile of the issuer. Certain jurisdictions do not provide the PCAOB with sufficient access to inspect audit work papers and practices, or otherwise do not cooperate with U.S. regulators. This lack of access and cooperation potentially exposes investors in U.S. capital markets to significant risks of capital loss and limits the rights and remedies available to funds and shareholders. The use of derivative instruments involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other traditional instruments. Derivatives are subject to a number of risks, including liquidity, interest rate, market, and credit risk. They also involve the risk of mispricing or improper valuation, the risk that changes in the value of the derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate or index, and the risk of default or bankruptcy of the other party to the instrument. Gains or losses involving some futures, options, and other derivatives may be substantial – in part because a relatively small price movement in these securities may result in an immediate and substantial gain or loss for the portfolio. A portfolio may also be subject to liquidity risk (e.g., the risk that a portfolio may have difficulty selling its debt securities). During periods of market turbulence or unusually low trading activity, in order to meet redemptions, it may be necessary to sell securities at prices that could have an adverse effect on a portfolio’s value. Changing regulatory and market conditions, including increases in interest rates and credit spreads may adversely affect the liquidity of the portfolio’s investments. Multi-Asset Strategies Portfolios We advise some clients on the allocation of assets among various asset classes and investment styles. These services include both strategic and tactical management of asset allocation exposures within an account. Some active multi-asset portfolios include diversified exposure to a range of asset classes, while other portfolios are concentrated on specific sectors of the global capital markets. Active asset allocation decisions can be based on fundamental research, quantitative and/or technical analytical tools. Multi-asset accounts can invest in desired asset classes or sectors in a number of ways. A multi-asset account may utilize various investment approaches that we manage; some of our multi-asset strategies portfolios invest in a combination of underlying American Century Investments funds, or a combination of underlying American Century Investments funds and other securities, that represents the various asset classes. This structure results in more revenue to American Century and its affiliates than would result from an allocation to unaffiliated funds or products. Generally, more conservative portfolios emphasize investments in bonds and short-term investments while more aggressive portfolios emphasize investments in stocks.

Page | 19

Some of our multi-asset strategies portfolios are target date portfolios. As the target date approaches, a portfolio’s asset mix will become more conservative by decreasing the allocation to stocks and increasing the allocation to bonds and short-term investments. The target year does not necessarily represent the specific year that a client expects to need his or her assets. It is intended only as a general guide and assumes a retirement age of 65. We may also provide asset allocation model portfolios to financial advisers, broker-dealers or other financial intermediaries who may use such model portfolios to assist in developing their own investment recommendations and managing their own accounts or the accounts of their clients, or who may make such model portfolios available to their clients through investment platforms. Although the multi-asset strategies portfolios generally will remain exposed to each of the investment disciplines and categories described above, a particular investment discipline or category may be emphasized when, in the portfolio managers’ opinion, such investment discipline or category is undervalued relative to the other disciplines or categories. Principal Risks. Multi-asset portfolios are subject to all of the risks associated with each of the underlying asset classes in which they are invested, as well as the risk that asset classes do not perform as expected. Each portfolio’s performance and risks depend in part on the portfolio managers’ skill in determining the strategy’s asset class allocations and in selecting and weighting the investments within each asset class. There is a risk that the portfolio managers’ evaluations and assumptions regarding asset classes or investments may differ from actual market conditions. For the multi-asset strategies portfolios that invest in underlying American Century Investments strategies, mutual funds or exchange-traded funds, each portfolio’s performance and risks also reflect the performance and risks of the underlying funds. Some of these risks relate to investments in stocks. Others relate primarily to fixed-income or foreign investments. The degree to which the risks described above for the other investment strategies apply to a particular multi-asset strategies portfolio varies according to its asset allocation. American Century Private Investments Overview. American Century Private Investments generally seeks to realize long-term capital appreciation through investments in private companies focusing on health care and climate/resource-driven solutions. Principal Risks.

Venture capital investing involves a high degree of business and financial risk that can result in substantial losses. In order for the strategy to succeed, investment managers must be able to accurately identify potentially successful business enterprises, a process which is difficult even for those with extensive experience in the venture capital field. Additionally, venture capital investing typically involves a significant length of time between the initial investment and a state of maturity where liquidity is possible. Venture stage companies are typically thinly staffed and may lack the internal resources or procedures and controls to detect and prevent accounting errors, or more serious losses caused by the misconduct or negligence of officers, employees or agents. While a small portion of venture capital investments have completed initial public offerings or acquisitions that have permitted venture investors to sell their equity interests at multiples of original cost, many other venture capital investments are not successful and some are written off entirely. There can be no assurance that the public securities markets will support an initial public offering of a portfolio company in which a private investment fund will invest, that there will be acquisition interest from other companies in the market or that such portfolio company’s fundamentals will warrant an exit on terms that will be attractive. Privately owned portfolio companies in which the private investment funds will typically invest in are likely to face intense competition, including competition from companies with greater financial resources, more extensive development, production, marketing and service capabilities and a larger number of qualified managerial and technical personnel. There can be no assurance that the development or marketing efforts of any particular portfolio company will be successful or that its business will be profitable. Some of the portfolio companies in which the private investment funds may invest in may be unseasoned, unprofitable and/or have no established operating history or earnings. These companies may also lack technical, marketing, financial and other resources or may be dependent upon the success of one product or service, a unique distribution channel, or the effectiveness of a manager or management team. The failure of this one product, service or distribution channel, or the loss or ineffectiveness of a key executive or executives within the management team may have a materially adverse impact on such companies. Furthermore, these companies may be more vulnerable to competition and to overall economic conditions than larger, more established entities. Investments in companies at the seed stage of development, particularly in early-stage enterprises, are subject to the risk that a proposed service or product cannot be developed successfully with the resources available to the portfolio company. There is no assurance that the development efforts of any portfolio company will be successful or, if successful, will be completed within the budget or time period originally estimated.

Page | 21

American Century Investments does not require portfolio companies in which the private investment funds invest be diversified in different geographic areas. If several investments are concentrated in one geographic area, and such investments could be severely impacted by adverse developments affecting that geographic area. Projected operating results of a portfolio company in which the private investment funds invest normally will be based primarily on financial projections prepared by each portfolio company’s management. In all cases, projections are only estimates of future results that are based upon information received from the portfolio company and assumptions made at the time the projections are developed. There can be no assurance that the results set forth in the projections will be attained, and actual results may be significantly different from the projections. Also, general economic factors, which are not predictable, can have a material effect on the reliability of projections. American Century Investments expects that the private investment funds will hold minority interests in most companies and, therefore, may have limited ability to protect their position and investment. Generally, as a condition to any investment, American Century Investments will seek to obtain special rights and protective provisions, which will be negotiated at the time of the investment. There can be no assurance that a private investment fund will be able to obtain such protective provisions, or that if such provisions are obtained, that they will be effective. Members of the American Century Private Investments Team or other persons affiliated with American Century Investments may serve as directors of certain of the portfolio companies in which a private investment funds invests. Such service, especially in light of statutes and regulations relating to corporate governance and increased scrutiny of corporate boards, could expose American Century Investments, one or more private investment funds and their respective partners and affiliates to regulatory actions and/or claims by a portfolio company, its security holders and/or its creditors. Although American Century Investments intends to manage the private investment funds’ portfolio investments in a manner designed to minimize exposure to these risks, the possibility of successful claims or adverse regulatory actions cannot be eliminated, and such events may have a significant adverse effect on a private investment fund. In their capacity as directors of portfolio companies, such persons will be subject to fiduciary and other duties to the portfolio company on whose board they serve, which duties may on occasion conflict with the best interests of the applicable private investment fund. The portfolio companies in which the private investment funds intend to invest will initially be privately held. As a result, there will be no readily available secondary market for interests in such portfolio companies, and those interests will be subject to legal restrictions on transfer. Therefore, there is no assurance that a private investment fund and its investors will be able to Page | 22

realize liquidity for such investments in a timely manner, if at all. Unless a portfolio company subsequently succeeds in obtaining approval from the relevant authorities to list its shares on a recognized exchange, this avenue to liquidity will not be available to such private investment fund, which must then rely on other means to achieve liquidity. In addition, a private investment fund may be precluded from selling its shares in a public portfolio company for some time after such portfolio company’s initial public offering, if any. Private investment funds and their affiliates may be prohibited by lock-up agreements, nondisclosure agreements or insider trading restrictions (including in particular when a person affiliated with American Century Investments acts as a director of a portfolio company) from distributing or selling portfolio company securities for a period of time, during which the price of a portfolio company’s securities could decline. In addition, American Century Investments may, in its sole discretion, elect not to sell or distribute securities beyond the lock-up period. Other Investment Strategies American Century Investments also manages portfolios that are concentrated in certain sectors or security types, such as real estate, global gold, utilities, and inflation-protected bonds. These portfolios are exposed to other risks unique to those sectors, as well as concentration risk. The portfolio managers use a variety of analytical research tools and techniques to help them make decisions about buying or holding stocks of companies that meet their investment criteria and selling the stocks of companies that do not. In addition to fundamental financial metrics, many American Century Investments strategies may also consider environmental, social, and/or governance (ESG) data to evaluate a company’s sustainability characteristics. However, the portfolio managers may not consider ESG data with respect to every investment decision and, even when such data is considered, they may conclude that other attributes of an investment outweigh sustainability-related considerations when making decisions for the fund. Sustainability-related characteristics may or may not impact the performance of an investee company or the fund, and the fund may perform differently than other funds that do not consider ESG data. Companies with strong sustainability-related characteristics may or may not outperform companies with weak sustainability-related characteristics. ESG data used by the portfolio managers often lacks standardization, consistency, and transparency, and for certain companies such data may not be available, complete, or accurate. If the portfolio management team relies on information or scoring models published by third party sources to analyze ESG criteria, there is a risk that this information might be incorrect or only take into account one of many ESG related components of portfolio companies. Moreover, scores and ratings across third party providers may be inconsistent or incomparable. Changes in regulations related to ESG investing can impact investment strategies and compliance requirements.

Sub-Advised Funds Reliance on Sub-Adviser Portfolio Management A client may invest in certain American Century Investments funds that allocate fund assets to or among one or more sub-advisers (each a “Sub-adviser” and each such fund a “Subadvised Fund”). The performance of a Subadvised Fund depends upon the ability of the applicable Subadviser to develop and implement strategies that achieve the portfolio’s investment objective. Although we will attempt to evaluate a Sub-adviser on criteria such as its investment strategy and past performance with respect to other investment products that such Sub-adviser manages or has managed, past performance may not be a reliable indicator of future results. American Century Investments may not have an active role in the day-to-day management of the Sub-advised Funds. Moreover, we may not have the opportunity to evaluate the specific investments made by any Sub-advised Fund before they are made and may not be able to dispose of an investment in a sub-advised portfolio if we are dissatisfied with the performance of the Sub-advised Fund. Accordingly, the returns of a client will depend on and could be substantially adversely affected by the performance of such Sub-advisers. Although we receive detailed information from a Sub-adviser regarding its investment performance and investment strategy, we may have little or no means of independently verifying this information. A Sub-adviser may use proprietary investment strategies that are not fully disclosed to us, which may involve risks that are not anticipated by us. Cybersecurity Risk American Century’s business operations can be impacted by software or hardware malfunctions, viruses, cyber attacks, ransomware, system failures, or the misuse of artificial intelligence tools used by third parties. Cybersecurity risks can result in financial losses to American Century and its clients. Additionally, cybersecurity risks may be correlated with other risks such as political risk, geopolitical risk, and sanctions risk, which can increase the likelihood and severity of cyber-events. A cybersecurity incident, either at American Century or a third party, could limit American Century’s ability to manage portfolios or transact on their behalf. Incidents could also result in delays to or mistakes in materials provided to clients American Century has measures designed to prevent, detect, assess, and respond to cybersecurity risks, but there is no guarantee that those measures will be effective. American Century has established a steering committee to oversee information security and data governance efforts. American Century also conducts due diligence on key service providers relating to cybersecurity. However, there is no guarantee that the efforts of American Century, or other service providers, will succeed, either entirely or partially, as there are limits on American Century’s ability to prevent, detect or mitigate cyber-events. Page | 24

Artificial Intelligence Risk Recent advancements in generative artificial intelligence, machine learning, and related data-driven technologies create both opportunities and risks for American Century and its clients. While the firm has approached these tools cautiously due to concerns such as reliability, cybersecurity, and operational integrity, it is increasingly likely that American Century—and the clients it serves—will encounter AI-related risks through third-party vendors, service providers, or other external relationships. American Century may also use analytical or operational tools that incorporate artificial intelligence, machine learning techniques, probabilistic modeling, or other complex data-science methodologies (“AI-based Tools”). These technologies are inherently intricate and can produce inaccurate, biased, incomplete, or otherwise defective outputs. In recognition of these limitations, American Century generally applies human review and oversight to help mitigate the consequences of relying on such tools. The use of AI-based Tools may expose American Century and its clients to risks associated with data quality and sourcing, cybersecurity vulnerabilities, and model errors, among other operational and technological challenges. Additionally, legal and regulatory expectations regarding the development and use of AI-based technologies remain unsettled and continue to evolve in the United States and abroad. Changes in regulatory requirements could necessitate adjustments to American Century’s use of these tools, potentially increasing compliance obligations and the risk of inadvertent non-compliance. Where American Century relies on AI-based Tools created or maintained by external parties, its ability to fully assess the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of those tools may be limited.

Vienna Pang, Trader, was born in 1994. She joined American Century Investments in 2021. ACIM UK and ACIM HK will act in accordance with the series of SEC no-action letters referred to above requiring each of them, as a participating affiliates, to be subject to our supervision and the SEC in the manner contemplated in such letters. ACIM UK and ACIM HK have agreed to submit to the jurisdiction of U.S. courts for actions arising under the U.S. securities laws in connection with its investment advisory activities provided for our U.S. clients and has appointed an appropriate agent for service of process, in each case in accordance with, and subject to the requirements of, such letters. Under the aforementioned agreements, American Century Investments pays compensation to each of ACIM UK and ACIM HK for the services of the associated persons. With client consent, we may invest separate account or sub-advised clients’ assets into newly established products. These investments may provide the initial funding necessary for American Century Investments to develop new products and facilitate growth in product size or scale. We may waive all or a portion of our management fees with respect to the separate account or sub-advised assets used to seed new American Century Investments managed products. In addition, with respect to seed investors in non-U.S. funds for which we act as investment manager, American Century Investments may rebate all or a portion of the fund’s investment management fees and/or provide reimbursements relating to certain expense types or specified amounts of expenses. Seed investors may contribute all or a majority of the assets in a newly established product. There is a risk that seed investors may redeem their investments in a product, particularly after the termination of any fee waivers, rebates, or reimbursements. Such redemptions could have a negative impact on a product’s liquidity or share price. Due to business relationships in place prior to their joining American Century Investments, certain American Century Private Investments Team members responsible for managing American Century’s private investment funds also own and control, or are engaged by, a separate business through which they provide services to (and receive fees and carried interest from) other private investment funds that are not affiliated with American Century Investments and have not yet wound down (i.e., outside funds). The investment period for such outside funds has closed, and these individuals’ responsibilities with respect to the outside funds is limited to managing and disposing of current holdings (which may include seeking additional funding as needed) and winding down each outside fund pursuant to the applicable governing documents. American Century Investments has policies and procedures in place to mitigate the conflicts associated with these outside activities. Additionally, no outside activities may be conducted in American Century Investments’ office space or using American Century Investments’ systems or property. For the asset allocation model portfolios, it is expected that, with respect to all or a material portion of the portfolios, American Century Investments will recommend affiliated funds. As a Page | 28

result, American Century Investments and its affiliates will retain more fees than if American Century Investments had recommended unaffiliated funds or products.

Upon employment and at least annually thereafter, the Code of Ethics requires employees of American Century Investments, as well as employees of other companies within our corporate family, to: (i) acknowledge that they have received, read, and will comply with the Code, (ii) provide account information for reportable mutual fund and brokerage accounts, and (iii) consent to provide duplicate electronic transactions and holdings information in reportable brokerage accounts to our compliance system vendor, ComplianceAlpha. Reportable accounts include accounts held directly by the employee and accounts that are beneficially owned. The Code of Ethics prohibits employees from short term and abusive trading in the American Century Investments managed mutual funds and requires all of our employees to comply with certain trading restrictions in American Century Investments managed mutual funds. Our officers and directors, as well as certain employees that participate in providing investment advice to our clients or have access to information regarding current recommendations with respect to portfolios of our clients or real-time trading information, are required to comply with additional restrictions. These additional restrictions include, but are not limited to, pre-clearance of personal securities transactions in nonexempt securities and quarterly transaction reporting of reportable security and mutual fund transactions. Portfolio managers, traders, investment analysts, officers and directors of American Century Investments are subject to additional restrictions for trading in private placements and initial public offerings of stock. Portfolio Managers and Investment Analysts are subject to black out restrictions when trading securities held in their assigned funds. Under the Code of Ethics, certain classes of securities have been designated as exempt transactions based upon a determination that these would materially not interfere with the best Page | 29

interest of our clients. Because the Code of Ethics in some circumstances would permit employees to invest in the same securities as clients, there is a possibility that employees might benefit from investment activity in a client’s account. Due to this conflict of interest between us and our clients, our compliance department continually monitors employee trading, as required by the Code of Ethics, to ensure compliance with the Code. The Code of Ethics also includes provisions regarding the treatment of confidential information of our clients. Certain employees are also required to disclose potential conflicts of interest due to their personal relationships. Failure to comply with the Code of Ethics constitutes a violation of the policy and results in sanctions, including, without limitation, formal warning with manager notification, required attendance of a Code of Ethics training session, suspension of trading privileges, disgorgement of profits, and/or suspension or termination of employment. American Century Investments will provide a copy of the Code of Ethics to any client or prospective client upon request.

Political Contributions Political contributions made by investment advisers and their employees to state or local government officials may raise potential conflicts of interest. Moreover, the SEC, FINRA, and the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board have promulgated rules addressing such contributions. American Century Investments and its affiliates, generally, do not make any corporate contributions, directly or indirectly, to state or local officials or candidates, political parties, or political action committees. American Century Investments has adopted a political contributions policy which requires employees to obtain approval prior to making personal political contributions or engaging in certain political activities. Participation or Interest in Client Transactions In some circumstances, we may seek to purchase or sell a security for a client’s account that we also purchase or sell for our proprietary accounts (either for investment purposes or to test new investment strategies or methodologies prior to offering them to clients), but only if we first determine that the investment decision is appropriate for each participating account. Investments of our corporate assets in proprietary accounts may raise conflicts of interest. To mitigate these potential conflicts of interest, we have adopted policies and procedures intended to minimize the risk that trading in proprietary accounts is performed in a manner that gives improper advantage to American Century Investments to the detriment of client portfolios. We also manage or advise client accounts that pursue investment objectives similar to the investment objectives pursued by other accounts. As a result, we may also seek to buy or sell the same securities contemporaneously for multiple client accounts. This will create potential conflicts and potential differences among client accounts, particularly where there is limited availability or limited liquidity for those investments. In these circumstances, we may either purchase or sell the security separately for each account, or aggregate the orders for all participating accounts (which may include our own account(s)), but only if we determine that the aggregation of orders is consistent with our duty to seek best execution. Investors in the private investment funds may invest in partnerships or other pooled investment vehicles for which an affiliate of American Century Investments (or an affiliate of one or more members of the American Century Private Investments Team) acts as the general partner or managing member with an ownership interest and receives its applicable share of any profits or losses associated with its ownership interest. American Century Investments and/or its affiliates (or an affiliate of one or more members of the American Century Private Investments Team) also receive a management fee and/or carried interest related to its management of such private investment funds as set forth in the applicable Fund Documents. In addition, American Century Investments has adopted a Trade Aggregation Policy that is designed to (a) minimize the risk that a client could be systematically advantaged or Page | 33

disadvantaged in connection with the aggregation of orders and (b) promote the fair and equitable treatment of all clients in the aggregation and allocation of portfolio transactions over time. For more information regarding this policy and American Century Investments’ aggregation procedures, please refer to “Aggregation of Client Orders” in Item 12 – Brokerage Practices. American Century Investments may, if it deems appropriate, cross orders for a security to be purchased or sold for non-ERISA accounts, including the American Century Investments mutual funds, in an attempt to obtain a more favorable price, lower brokerage commissions or more efficient execution. Each trade crossed with a registered mutual fund must comply with Rule 17a-7 under the Investment Company Act, and may not be executed by a broker-dealer that controls us, is controlled by us, or is under common control with us. For any cross trade, we may deduct any customary transfer fees (excluding brokerage commissions or other remuneration paid in connection with the transaction) incurred in such trades from the accounts of participating clients. A transaction fee charged by a broker or custodial bank will be considered a customary transfer fee for this purpose. It is our policy that we will not effect any cross securities transactions between our or ACC’s proprietary accounts and a client’s account. American Century Investments may, on occasion, invest in securities that we do not recommend to our clients. We are a wholly-owned subsidiary of ACC. On occasion, we, ACC, and our employees may buy or sell shares of the American Century Investments mutual funds. Other Potential Conflicts of Interest: Management of Multiple Portfolios Certain conflicts of interest may arise in connection with American Century Investments’ management of client portfolios with different investment strategies. Potential conflicts can include, for example, one investment strategy buying or selling a security while another has a different, potentially opposite, position in the same security. This may include one investment strategy taking a short position in the security of an issuer that is held long in another investment strategy (or vice versa). Other potential conflicts may arise with respect to the allocation of investment opportunities across client portfolios, which are discussed in more detail in Item 12 below. American Century Investments has adopted policies and procedures designed to minimize the effects of these conflicts. Management of American Century Investments’ client portfolios is organized according to investment discipline and investment strategy. Investment disciplines include, for example, Disciplined Equity, Global Growth Equity (both U.S. and Global/Non-U.S.), Global Value Equity, Global Fixed Income, Multi-Asset Strategies, American Century Rules-Based ETF strategies, Avantis Investors strategies, and Private Investments. Within each investment discipline are one or more portfolio teams responsible for managing specific investment strategies, such as U.S. Disciplined Core Value, U.S. Small Cap Value, U.S. Large Cap Growth, Emerging Markets Equity and U.S. Core Fixed Income. Page | 34

In some cases, a portfolio manager or team may be responsible for managing (or assisting in managing) multiple investment strategies within or across investment disciplines. Generally, client portfolios with similar investment strategies are managed by the same portfolio management team using similar investment objectives, approaches, and philosophies. Accordingly, portfolio holdings, position sizes, and industry and sector exposures tend to be similar across client portfolios with similar investment strategies, which minimizes the potential for conflicts of interest. In addition, American Century Investments maintains information barriers that restrict portfolio management teams within an investment discipline from having access to information regarding security positions, orders or transactions in client portfolios or investment strategies in other investment disciplines. If a portfolio manager or team manages or assists in managing an investment strategy in another investment discipline, that portfolio manager or team will only have access to information relating to that investment strategy and not other investment strategies within that investment discipline. The information barriers are intended to aid in preventing the misuse of portfolio holdings information or trading activity in other investment disciplines. Portfolio managers or teams that manage (or assist in managing) investment strategies across investment disciplines will not allow their access to portfolio holdings and/or trading information in one investment discipline to in any way impact decisions they make for client portfolios in other investment disciplines. Other Potential Conflicts of Interest: Management of Indexed Products For certain index-based ETFs, American Century Investments serves as both the investment advisor and the index provider. These dual roles may give rise to potential conflicts of interest, such as the potential use of non-public information about the index and index changes to benefit the advisor, other similarly-managed advisor accounts, or third parties. In addition to the conflict mitigation policies described above, American Century Investments has procedures designed to prevent the misuse of material non-public information by the investment advisor. Such conflicts may also be mitigated by protections provided by the Investment Company Act and the Advisers Act, as well as the fund’s policy to maintain full portfolio transparency. Other Potential Conflicts of Interest: Asset Allocation Model Portfolios American Century Investments may provide asset allocation model portfolios to certain advisers, broker-dealers or other financial intermediaries that use such model portfolios to assist in developing their own investment recommendations and managing their own accounts or the accounts of their clients, or that make such model portfolios available to their clients through investment platforms. Such model portfolios are generally focused on asset allocation strategies and may be limited to certain types of investment products (for example, model portfolios consisting solely of ETFs or mutual funds). If a model portfolio includes ETFs or mutual funds, in selecting such products for inclusion in a model portfolio, the portfolio management team generally expects to select American Century Page | 35

Investments funds without considering any external funds or ETFs (collectively referred to as “Outside Funds”), even though there may (or may not) be one or more Outside Funds that may be more appropriate for inclusion in such model portfolio, unless the portfolio management team determines, in its sole discretion, that an American Century Investments fund is not available in the relevant asset class / sub-asset class, or a client specifically requests or directs that an Outside Fund (or group of Outside Funds) be included in the model portfolio. When a model portfolio includes only affiliated funds, American Century Investments will not review or consider Outside Funds. As a result, there may be one or more Outside Funds that would be a more appropriate addition to the model portfolio than the affiliated funds selected by American Century Investments, from the standpoint of the factors that American Century Investments has taken into consideration or other factors not considered. Such Outside Funds not selected may outperform the Affiliated Funds selected for the model portfolio. Also, the management fees of American Century funds may be higher than fees charged by Outside Funds. In the event an American Century Investments fund is not available in the relevant asset class / sub-asset class, the portfolio management team may consider certain Outside Funds in its discretion, although the team will not canvas the universe of Outside Funds or other external products. In addition, the portfolio management team may include Outside Funds in a model portfolio only because they were specifically requested by the adviser, broker-dealer, or financial intermediary to do so. Similarly, an adviser, broker-dealer, or financial intermediary may request that the portfolio management team consider investment characteristics, or the weighting of such characteristics, that the portfolio management team may or may not have otherwise considered, or considered at that weighting, in the creation of a model portfolio. To the extent that the portfolio management team includes an Outside Fund in a model portfolio, it generally expects to evaluate such Outside Fund only from an investment perspective and we do not conduct operational due diligence on Outside Funds included in model portfolios. American Century will not take into account the tax status, investment goals or other characteristics of any specific investor using the model portfolio when it compiles the model portfolio. American Century Investments may or may not charge a fee for making model portfolios available to advisers, broker-dealers or other financial intermediaries or their clients. American Century will benefit from the investment by clients in American Century Investments funds that are included in the model, and generally receive management fees in connection with its management of the funds included in the model. As such, American Century is incentivized to utilize American Century Investments funds in the model and is disincentivized to use Outside Funds. This conflict of interest may result in model portfolios with lower performance and/or higher fees than they would have had if the model portfolios did not invest in affiliated funds.

Other Potential Conflicts of Interest: Investment Restrictions Arising from Possession of Material Non-Public Information Additional conflicts of interest may arise in the ordinary course of American Century Investments’ operations. From time to time, American Century Investments may obtain information from service providers, portfolio companies, investors and others. To the extent that such information may constitute material non-public information, American Century Investments may have limitations or prohibitions on its ability to use such information and purchase or sell securities. We have implemented policies and procedures designed to prevent the misuse of material nonpublic information. American Century Investments will, at times, restrict trading in the securities of issuers of which we are or may be in possession of material non-public information, for a period of time that could be significant. In the event that we have placed a security on the restricted list, absent special compliance procedures, American Century Investments will not be able to purchase or sell such investment, potentially preventing clients from participating in certain desirable transactions. This inability to buy or sell a portfolio holding could have an adverse effect on certain client portfolios due to, among other things, changes in an investment’s value during the restricted period. Other Potential Conflicts of Interest: Participation on Boards or Committees of Private Companies In connection with its management of private investment funds, members of the American Century Private Investments Team may sit on boards of directors of privately held companies, which may cause American Century Investments to be deemed to control such company and such company may have relationships with other companies in our client portfolios that can give rise to conflicts. Any participation as a member of a board of directors or member of a committee of such board is considered an outside business activity and is subject to certain policies and procedures as well as pre-approval by American Century Investments’ compliance department prior to commencing the activity.

under the circumstances (taking into account all relevant factors). In assessing the best overall terms available for any transaction, we consider all factors that we deem relevant, including the breadth of the market in the security, the portfolio manager’s investment intentions, the price of the security, the financial condition and execution capability of the broker, and the reasonableness of the commission, both for the specific transaction and on a continuing basis. American Century Investments generally does not select broker-dealers or effect underlying securities transactions for Managed Account clients utilizing equity investment strategies or other clients who utilize model delivery investment portfolios. For Model Portfolio clients, the program Sponsor will have sole discretion and responsibility for the selection of broker-dealers and the execution of transactions in the accounts of program participants. American Century Investments is not responsible for placing orders for the execution of transactions involving assets in these types of accounts. For Traditional SMA clients utilizing equity strategies, American Century Investments' discretion as to which broker-dealers are used in effecting securities transactions is limited by the program sponsor’s or underlying client’s general direction to use a particular broker-dealer to execute transactions due to the economic benefits the client receives from trades being executed through the Sponsor. Our determination of best execution does not necessarily mean that the client is paying the lowest possible commission rate or bid-ask spread, as there are several additional factors to consider when evaluating best execution in client brokerage. In selecting brokers to effect portfolio transactions for our clients, we consider the full range and quality of a broker's research and brokerage services (as those terms are defined in Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), which may include the following factors:

Value of a broker’s proprietary research and other brokerage services (collectively referred to as “Research”, as defined below); Applicable commission rates and other transaction costs charged by the broker; Timeliness of broker's trade executions; Efficiency and accuracy of the broker's clearance and settlement process; Broker's ability to provide data on securities executions; Financial stability of broker; Ability to maintain confidentiality; Operational and reputational risks; and The quality of the overall brokerage and customer service provided by the broker; and Any other relevant factor.

When assessing the relative importance of these factors in broker selection, we will also consider the characteristics of the client's account, the order, the financial instrument(s) being transacted in the order and the execution venues available for such order. Each order Page | 38

executed on behalf of a client account will be unique in its characteristics due to the prevailing market conditions, liquidity, investment strategy, and investment guidelines at the time such order is executed. While the relative importance assigned to the execution factors will vary, generally American Century Investments prioritizes price and cost factors (both explicit and implicit) in obtaining best execution. However, there are instances where other factors take precedence. Such instances may include: trade costs are uniform or negligible across counterparties for fixed income products, speed of execution may be more important due to the nature of the order, or a trade order is large in comparison to the liquidity of the relevant financial instrument in the market. “Research” may include, but is not limited to, proprietary research and analysis; general market analysis; economic forecasting services; fundamental and technical advice on individual securities; market analysis; advice (either directly or indirectly through publications, written reports, or online services) as the value of securities, availability of securities or of purchasers/sellers of securities; “road show” visits; personal meetings with analysts, economists, expert referral networks, and analytic and execution management systems. American Century Investments may pay a broker who provides such brokerage and research services a commission for executing a portfolio transaction for our clients’ accounts that is in excess of the amount of commission another broker would have charged for effecting that transaction if, but only if, we determine in good faith that such commission was reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and research services provided by such broker, viewed in terms of that particular transaction or in terms of our overall responsibilities with respect to our clients. The reasonableness of transaction costs is based on our view of the broker’s ability to provide professional services, competitive commission rates, research, and other services that will help us in providing investment advisory services to its clients, viewed in terms of either the particular transaction or our overall responsibility to our clients. We believe that access to Research provided by independent third parties is beneficial to our investment decision-making processes and, therefore, to our clients. Receipt of independent Research allows us to supplement our own internal research and analysis and provides us with the opinions and views of, and information from, individuals and the research staffs of other firms. We often use alternative execution venues in lieu of placing transactions with a traditional brokerage firm, or computer-driven order routing techniques (such as “algorithmic trading”) to facilitate best execution and to reduce other transaction costs. Brokers used to execute trades for Subadvised Funds are selected by the Third-Party Subadvisers in accordance with their policies and procedures and their duty to seek best execution.

Equity Securities: American Century Investments executes transactions in securities (other than those for which an exchange is the primary market) with a dealer acting as principal, with a market maker, or a broker. We will execute a security transaction on a brokerage basis when we believe that the facilities, expert personnel and technological systems of a broker enable Page | 39

our clients to secure as good a net price as when dealing with a market maker. Equity securities transactions in Managed Accounts generally are executed through the Sponsor without a separate commission charge or at a fixed commission amount per trade negotiated by the Sponsor.

Fixed Income Securities: American Century Investments purchases fixed income securities for client accounts directly from issuers, underwriters, broker-dealers or banks. In many transactions, we select the broker-dealer based on the availability of the desired security and its offering price. In both purchase and sale transactions, we also select the broker-dealer based on the selection of market and the negotiation of price, as well as the broker-dealer's general execution, operational and financial capabilities in the type of transaction involved.

Derivatives Transactions: Whenever practicable, American Century Investments will seek to aggregate transactions in derivatives such as futures, swaps, and currency forwards among eligible client accounts. Because many derivatives require negotiation and execution of trading agreements between each client and each counterparty, some counterparties may be available to some client accounts and not others. When the counterparty that we believe can provide best execution for a particular transaction is unavailable to some of our client accounts participating in that transaction, we will trade first with that counterparty on behalf of the accounts to which that counterparty is available, and then trade the excluded client accounts with such other counterparty as we believe is most desirable among the counterparties available to those accounts. Under certain circumstances, we may not follow this approach, and instead, may choose only among counterparties available to all relevant client accounts if we believe the benefits of aggregating the transaction exceed the benefit of choosing the most desirable counterparty among those available to each client. We will make such decisions subject to our obligation to treat all client accounts in a manner we believe is fair and equitable over time. The top ten broker-dealers based on commissions paid that provided Research to American Century Investments during the past year were (in alphabetical order) Barclays Capital Inc., Bernstein Institutional Services LLC, Bloomberg, BofA Securities, Inc., Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Jefferies LLC, Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC and UBS Securities LLC. A full list of broker-dealers providing Research is available to clients upon request. American Century Investments does not engage in "brokerage for sales" practices, whereby we would direct trades in our clients' accounts to a broker as remuneration for client leads or referrals. The factors utilized by American Century Investments in selecting broker-dealers to execute trades are described above. Subject to applicable law, American Century Investments will occasionally effect “cross” transactions between client accounts, including registered investment companies. In these Page | 40

cases, one client account will purchase securities held by another client account. We effect these transactions only when we deem the transaction to be in the best interests of both client accounts and at a price that we have determined by reference to independent market indicators, which we believe to constitute “best execution” for both accounts. Neither American Century Investments nor any related party receives any compensation in connection with “cross” transactions. We are not obligated to seek to effect “cross” transactions and may be prohibited by legal or regulatory considerations from doing so with respect to certain types of client accounts. American Century Investments engages in foreign currency transactions in some accounts or strategies. Where available and practicable, we believe it is in a client’s best interest to trade foreign currency directly with a broker-dealer; however, third-party broker-dealer transactions are not available for certain emerging markets or certain restricted foreign securities and may be impracticable for some payments such as dividends. In these instances, we will trade foreign currency through a client’s custodian on a transaction-by-transaction basis and/or via standing instructions. We are not responsible for overseeing charges of or execution quality provided by a client’s custodian. Clients should contact their custodians directly for this information. To mitigate any conflict that could arise in the brokerage selection process due to the provision of gifts and entertainment to our personnel, we have included in our Business Code of Conduct a provision that restricts an employee’s ability to accept gifts. That provision prohibits any employee from accepting a gift, or a series of gifts, worth an aggregate of $100 each year from any person, firm, or company that American Century Investments does or seeks to do business with, provided that such gifts are in accordance with normally accepted business practices. It also requires each employee to report the gift to his or her manager and to report any gift received that is valued at more than $50 to our compliance department. In addition, our trade oversight committee monitors all gifts and entertainment provided by broker-dealers to our investment management personnel and traders. Soft Dollar Arrangements and Commission Sharing Arrangements Section 28(e) of the Exchange Act provides a safe harbor for persons who exercise investment and brokerage discretion over advisory accounts to pay for research and brokerage services with commission dollars generated by account transactions. Such arrangements are sometimes referred to as “soft dollar arrangements.” American Century Investments uses proprietary and third-party Research that it purchases with its own funds or through commissions paid to broker-dealers. Our U.S. based investment advisory firm has implemented policies and procedures to comply with U.S. laws and regulations relating to the use of brokerage commissions to purchase research. Under Section 28(e) of the 1934 Act we receive Research by sending trades and Page | 41

paying commissions to approved executing broker-dealers. To comply with the European Union’s Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (“MiFID”), we have ring fenced our Londonbased investment management personnel and pay for research consumed by them with hard dollars. Research acquired in the U.S. through soft dollar arrangements is not shared internally with the investment professionals in our London office. For most clients, we are authorized to select the brokers who effect securities transactions for client accounts, negotiate the commissions charged for such transactions, and enter into brokerage agreements with such brokers on behalf of its clients. We select brokers on their perceived ability to obtain “best execution” in effecting transactions in our clients’ portfolios. In selecting brokers to effect portfolio transactions for clients, we consider the full range and quality of a broker’s research and brokerage services. Clients may, therefore, pay commissions higher than those obtainable from other broker-dealers. We will do so only if we determine in good faith that the amount of commissions paid is reasonable in relation to the value of the Research received. We may use Research for the benefit of one or more of our clients, and not just for the clients that pay commissions to the brokers providing the Research because we believe that the research received is, in the aggregate, of assistance in fulfilling our overall responsibilities to all of our clients. Research is either provided directly by the broker executing the transaction or generated by third parties and are provided by the broker to which the commissions are paid, including through Commission Sharing Arrangements. For eligible client accounts, these Commission Sharing Arrangements provide for the broker-dealers to pay a portion of the commissions paid to them for Research designated by us, including Research providers that are affiliates of American Century Investments. We may also use certain full-service brokers that also provide proprietary research services to us, whereby we pay an underlying commission that is comprised of both trade execution and other services, most often Research. On occasion, American Century Investments may obtain third-party research and/or other brokerage services that are useful both in making investment decisions for client accounts and in performing administrative or other non-research functions that benefit us (known as “mixeduse” Research). If we obtain "mixed-use" Research, our trade oversight committee will make a good faith allocation of the costs of the products and services so that the portion or specific component of the Research that assists us in the investment-decision making process is obtained through client commissions and the portion or specific component that provides nonresearch assistance to us is paid by us out of our own funds. The allocation of the cost of mixed-use Research amongst our clients and us presents an inherent conflict of interest for us. We attempt to mitigate this risk by having our trade oversight committee determine how costs will be allocated. Page | 42

Soft dollar arrangements may create other conflicts of interest for us. Because we can use a client’s soft dollars to pay for Research that we use for all or many of our clients’ accounts and that we would otherwise have to pay for from our own funds, we may have an incentive to use clients’ assets to “pay up” for the Research. We may also have an incentive to select a brokerdealer primarily on the basis of the Research we may obtain through that broker-dealer with clients’ soft dollars, rather than on the basis of the quality of execution services for our clients’ accounts. To minimize these conflicts, American Century Investments has established policies and procedures covering the use of soft dollars that, among other things, mandates the following:

American Century Investments attempts to negotiate the lowest possible commission rate with each broker-dealer that we use and has adopted internal procedures designed to ensure that transactions are placed based solely on best execution considerations

We regularly evaluate the quality of the services provided by each broker-dealer that we use. On a periodic basis, each of our portfolio management teams performs an assessment of the quality and value of Research and brokerage services provided by each broker-dealer that provides execution services and Research for our clients' accounts.

We direct portfolio transactions in a manner that is consistent with best execution.

American Century Investments has a trade oversight committee, comprised of members of the trading, legal/compliance, and investment management departments, that reviews soft dollar arrangements on a periodic basis.

We have adopted internal procedures designed to ensure that the value, type, and quality of any Research or services it receives from broker-dealers are permissible under applicable law.

In addition, American Century Investments may use a client’s soft dollars to pay for Research from a broker-dealer that is affiliated with American Century Investments that may create a conflict of interest for us, in that we have an incentive to pay more for Research provided by an affiliated broker-dealer than Research provided by others, or to pay for Research provided by an affiliated broker-dealer that we do not use in our investment decision-making processes. To mitigate the impact of this potential conflict, American Century Investments has established additional procedures covering any soft dollar arrangement with an affiliated broker-dealer, that, among other things, mandates the following:

On a monthly basis, if applicable, the affiliated broker-dealer certifies to us that the equity commission rates charged to American Century Investments funds by the broker-dealer were not greater than the rates charged to its third-party clients for comparable brokerage services during the prior month. Page | 43

On a quarterly basis, the Discipline Chief Investment Officer of the relevant investment discipline utilized by any American Century Investments fund that uses Research from an affiliated broker-dealer certifies to us on behalf of his or her portfolio management team that the Research used by the team in the prior quarter was used solely for investment decision-making purposes and not for any non-investment-related purpose.

On a quarterly basis, we will prepare a written report and provide it to the board of directors of any American Century Investments fund that uses Research from an affiliated broker-dealer that confirms that the commissions, fees, or other remuneration paid by the fund to the affiliated broker-dealer during the prior quarter are fair and reasonable compared to the commissions, fees, or other remuneration received by other broker-dealers in connection with comparable transactions involving similar securities being purchased or sold on a securities exchange during a comparable period of time.

Certain clients are regulatorily prohibited, such as those subject to MiFID II, from using soft dollars to pay for research. In these situations, the clients pay execution-only commission rates. We pay the research provider out of our pocket for that client’s pro rata share of the research cost for that investment strategy. In addition, MiFID clients who are prohibited from paying for research can be included in block trades in reliance on SEC no-action relief. All clients participating in the block trade pay the same purchase price of the security traded and the same execution-only rate. In cases where American Century Investments is acting as a sub-adviser to an account or fund, we may not have the authority to negotiate brokerage commissions (for both securities and currency transactions), costs and soft-dollar arrangements for that account. Instead, the investment adviser of that account may do so. In these situations, the broker commissions and costs may be higher or lower than those negotiated directly by us for our clients’ accounts. Third-Party Sub-advisers for our Subadvised Funds may use soft dollars generated under soft dollar arrangements that the Sub-adviser has with the broker to execute trades for the Subadvised Funds. Such use of soft dollars by a Third-Party Sub-adviser, if any, is generally done in accordance with such sub-adviser’s policies and procedures and Section 28(e) of the Exchange Act. Directed Brokerage Arrangements Clients may direct American Century Investments to place some or all transactions for their accounts with one or more broker-dealers they specify. A client that designates use of a particular broker-dealer should understand, however, that such an instruction might prevent us from freely negotiating commission rates or selecting brokers based on the most favorable price and execution for the transaction. Page | 44

Clients also may prohibit American Century Investments from placing transactions for their accounts with certain broker dealers. A client that prohibits us from selecting certain brokerdealers for the placement of transactions for its account should understand that such a prohibition prevents us from selecting a restricted broker-dealer even though such brokerdealer may offer a more favorable price and execution for the transaction. In addition, the client may lose the possible advantage that non-designating and unrestricted clients derive from batching orders into single larger transactions, utilizing alternative trading venues, or alternative trading techniques for the purchase or sale of a particular security. Finally, American Century Investments normally will place transactions for directed accounts after those placed for nondirected accounts. Overall, any instruction that we use a certain broker-dealer or restrict trading with a particular broker-dealer may cause a client to pay higher commissions, receive less favorable net prices or investment results, or incur additional custodial or other external administrative charges than would be the case if we were authorized to choose the broker-dealers through which to execute transactions for the client’s account. Aggregation of Client Orders

Trade Aggregation Generally: American Century Investments may aggregate orders to purchase or sell the same security for multiple portfolios when it believes such aggregation is consistent with its duty to seek best execution on behalf of clients. We do not aggregate orders where aggregation is not appropriate or practicable from operational or other perspectives. For example, limit orders, orders for the same security with different priority codes, cash flows, separate trading desks, or portfolio management processes may, among other factors, result in separate, non-aggregated trades. In addition, orders of certain client portfolios may, by investment restriction or otherwise, be determined not to be available for aggregation. American Century Investments has adopted policies and procedures to minimize the risk that a client portfolio could be systematically advantaged or disadvantaged in connection with the aggregation of orders. If we do not aggregate orders for client accounts when we have the opportunity to do so, the clients may incur higher transaction costs when we separately execute the clients’ orders. American Century Investments receives no additional compensation or remuneration as a result of the aggregation of orders of our clients. If requested, we will provide a client a summary or composite transaction data sufficient to compare the results of transactions within its account with those of other clients. American Century Investments generally allocates securities purchased or sold in an aggregated transaction among participating client accounts pro rata based on order size. In certain situations, however, a pro rata allocation of the securities or proceeds may not be possible or desirable. In these cases, American Century Investments will decide how to allocate Page | 45

the securities or proceeds according to each account’s particular circumstances and needs and in a manner that we believe is fair an equitable to clients over time in light of factors based on a good faith assessment of the investment opportunity relative to the objectives, limitations, and requirements of each eligible client account. Relevant factors may include, without limitation, client-specific considerations, rebalancing needs, and minimum denomination of increments and round lot considerations. In addition, if American Century Investments is unable to execute fully an aggregated transaction and determines that it would be impractical to allocate a small number of securities on a pro rata basis among the participating accounts, American Century Investments allocates the securities in a manner it determines to be fair to all accounts over time. Thus, in some cases it is possible that the application of the factors described herein may result in allocations in which certain client accounts participating in an aggregated transaction may receive an allocation when other accounts do not.

Equity Securities: Generally, for those client accounts where American Century Investments is authorized to select broker-dealers and trade the securities in the client account (“Discretionary Accounts”), American Century Investments processes and executes orders for client accounts in the order received by our trading desk (i.e., first-in, first-out), or when applicable, in accordance with a specific trading strategy provided by an account’s portfolio manager regarding the execution of a particular order. However, in many cases, aggregating trade orders for the same security may prove advantageous to clients. For example, by aggregating purchase or sale orders for a client, we may be able to reduce commission costs or market impact, because larger orders tend to have lower execution costs. In addition, for certain types of offerings that have minimum purchase or sale amounts (such as private placements and certain debt offerings), aggregation can help clients meet the minimum requirements. American Century Investments has adopted a Trade Aggregation Policy that is designed to (a) minimize the risk that a client could be systematically advantaged or disadvantaged in connection with the aggregation of orders and (b) promote the fair and equitable treatment of all clients in the aggregation and allocation of portfolio transactions. This policy requires, among other things, that:

Transaction costs (which includes brokerage commissions) of aggregated transactions are shared on a pro rata basis by all participants (which could include ACC’s proprietary accounts);

All participating accounts participate in the aggregated order at the average share price for all of our transactions in that security;

Prior to execution of an aggregated order, American Century Investments records a trade order specifying the participating clients and determines the method of allocation among the participating accounts;

Completed orders are allocated as specified in the trade order and partially filled orders are allocated on a pro rata basis, based on the trade order; and Page | 46

If an order must be allocated in a manner different from the recorded trade order, all participating accounts must receive fair and equitable treatment and the written rationale for the departure must be provided to our compliance department.

When transactions for Discretionary Accounts managed using a particular investment strategy are communicated to the equity trading desk at or about the same time, American Century Investments generally will place trades first for transactions on behalf of the American Century Funds and nondirected, unrestricted, individually-managed institutional accounts, and second for directed individually-managed institutional accounts. For Managed Account clients, securities trades are not typically executed through American Century Investments’ trading desk. Accordingly, communication of changes to portfolio holdings information for Managed Accounts is handled using a separate process. American Century Investments releases its Managed Account holdings information to a third-party service provider on each day the New York Stock Exchange is open for business. When the applicable investment team makes core changes to a Managed Account portfolio, we generally will communicate the changes to the third-party service provider who will maintain a random, sponsor level rotation that is implemented upon the notification of the model trades for American Century Investments portfolios. For Managed Account clients that utilize asset allocation model portfolios through a Sponsor’s program/platform, which are generally comprised of underlying mutual funds and/or ETFs, allocation model changes are communicated to Sponsors after the close of the New York Stock Exchange. For any allocation model that is available on more than one Sponsor platform, American Century Investments maintains a sequential, Sponsor-level trade rotation for those models. American Century may also provide custom asset allocation model portfolios in response to a request received from certain advisers, broker-dealers or other financial intermediaries. In these circumstances where there is no Sponsor program/platform involved, the model is customized to a particular adviser, broker-dealer, or financial intermediary client request, and there is no regular updating of the model, the model will be provided directly to such client and any such model is not subject to the trade rotation requirement. The trade rotation processes described above are designed to maintain a fair and equitable treatment of Managed Account clients over time. Managed Account clients may experience different account results due to the timing and implementation of order execution by their Sponsor. Managed Accounts may trade the same securities before, at the same time, in close time proximity or after American Century Investments’ other discretionary accounts, but the trading activity of American Century Investments’ other discretionary accounts will be independent of the Managed Account rotation process. Therefore, the timing or terms of investment by Managed Account clients will differ from other American Century Investments clients.

Page | 47

The Trade Aggregation policy also prohibits us and ACC from purchasing for our proprietary accounts equity securities sold in an initial public offering (“IPO”) unless no other clients have indicated for the IPO. Because IPOs are usually available in limited supply and in amounts too small to permit acrossthe-board pro rata allocations, we have adopted procedures designed to promote a fair and equitable allocation of IPO securities among our clients over time. In the event a Subadvised Fund purchases securities in an IPO, such purchase will be executed in accordance with the relevant Third-Party Sub-adviser’s policies and procedures. American Century Investments will not aggregate purchase and sale orders under circumstances where aggregation is not possible, not permitted, or would not be in the best interest of a client. For example, we would generally not aggregate orders in the following instances:

Orders placed for clients on the same day, but are not concurrently open (i.e., an order that was opened and filled in the morning for one client would not be aggregated with an order for a different client that was opened later in the day);

Orders for two or more clients that are open concurrently, but are pursuing different trading strategies;

Limit orders (i.e., an order to buy or sell a set number of shares at a specified price or better);

Short sale orders (i.e., an order to sell a security that has been borrowed from a third party (usually a broker) with the intention of buying the security back at a later date to return to the lender); and

Orders placed by Third-Party Sub-advisers of behalf of the Subadvised Funds. These orders may be aggregated with other orders placed by such Third-Party Sub-adviser on behalf of it or on behalf of its other clients, and will generally be executed in accordance with such Third-Party Sub-adviser’s policies and procedures.

Fixed Income Securities: Often a single fixed income trade will include allocations for multiple portfolios. When a fixed income securities transaction is allocated to multiple client portfolios, it is allocated with the general purpose of positioning each portfolio in relation to its investment strategy (e.g., maturity, duration, credit quality, etc.), cash flows, or other relevant investment criteria. In an attempt to achieve this positioning, portfolios that are furthest from alignment with respect to their investment criteria may receive preference in allocation. Orders are not placed separately for each portfolio and then collected for aggregation as with equity funds. Subsequent transactions in the same security (even during the same trading day) are generally handled as a separate trade and not aggregated with the earlier trade. Page | 48

In addition, portfolios with a more specific investment strategy may be given a preference in the allocation of securities relating to that more specialized investment approach. For example, state specific municipal funds (e.g. California) may be given an allocation preference for securities originating from that state over national tax-free funds that can derive their securities from a broader geographic region. With respect to the allocation of new issues of fixed income securities, it is common that the funds do not receive on the execution date the full amount of the order originally placed by the portfolio manager or trader with the broker-dealer. These instances, referred to as “partial fills”, require the portfolio manager to reconsider the original allocation of those securities to the portfolios in the context of the lesser amount of securities actually received. Such reallocation will be undertaken on the execution date and will generally be pro rata based on the order sizes contained in the original allocation. However, there may be circumstances under which it is appropriate to adjust the allocation among the various portfolios or to add/remove portfolios from the original allocation. Examples of such circumstances would include, without limitation, the inability of a portfolio to acquire a meaningful position in the security, changes in the positioning of the portfolios in relation to their investment criteria, and significant changes in cash flow. If, in performing such a reallocation, the portfolio manager or trader deviates from pro rata, they will document the basis for such reallocation. Reallocation of any fixed income securities transaction after the close of business on the execution date must have prior approval, and a description of the basis for such reallocation must be documented.

Third-Party Subadvised Portfolios: Orders placed by a Third-Party Sub-adviser on behalf of a Subadvised Fund will generally be executed in accordance with the policies and procedures of such Third-Party Sub-adviser. Error Correction On occasion, an error may occur in one or more client accounts. American Century Investments has policies and procedures related to the identification, documentation, and correction of errors in client accounts. Certain clients may provide error handling instructions for their accounts that differ somewhat from our policies and procedures. When we identify an error, we take prompt attention to resolve the error. Depending upon the circumstances, corrective actions may include cancelling the trade, adjusting an allocation, and/or reimbursing the account. If the error results in a gain, the gain remains in the impacted client account unless such gain is used to offset losses in that account resulting from the same transaction or occurrence. Page | 49

American Century Investments does not maintain an error correction account.

These reports include, but are not limited to, reports on investment performance, risk management, the quality of our services, and compliance. We also provide the funds’ boards with additional information on an annual basis at the time the boards consider the renewal of each fund’s investment management agreement with us. We provide the fund boards with other information and reports upon request or as needed. We also provide reports to our non-mutual fund clients regarding their accounts in accordance with their instructions. Managed Account Sponsors typically receive market commentaries prepared by American Century Investments and may send such commentaries on to Managed Account clients. Reports to Advisory Clients may be less frequent, as determined by contract. Sponsors typically issue performance reports to clients on a quarterly basis. American Century Investments relies on the Managed Account Sponsor or consultant/financial adviser to provide client portfolio reporting. Upon request, American Century Investments will provide supplemental reporting to these types of clients.

Page | 50

With respect to the private investment funds, portfolio investments are generally private, illiquid and long-term in nature. Accordingly, the review process is not directed toward a short-term decision to dispose of securities. American Century Investments monitors investments in which the private investment funds invest, and periodically checks to confirm that each such fund is maintained in accordance with its stated objectives. Additionally, investors in private investment funds will generally receive audited financial statements for such private investment fund within 120 days following such private investment fund’s fiscal year end. Investors also receive Forms K-1 and other tax reporting information, as applicable, as provided in each private investment fund’s Fund Documents.

pursuant to which we agree to compensate each of them for efforts to promote American Century Investments’ financial products and advisory services to potential clients. In addition, we have entered into similar agreements with multiple affiliates of Nomura Holdings, Inc. (a major stockholder of our parent company) and with CIBC Asset Management, Inc., pursuant to which we agree to compensate those partners for their efforts to promote, market and introduce American Century Investments’ financial products and advisory services to potential clients. We may, from time to time, enter other solicitation agreements with third parties pursuant to which we agree to pay such parties compensation for client referral activities. In these situations, solicitations and/or referrals and any related compensation are made in accordance with applicable legal requirements. American Century Investments has compensated, and may compensate from time to time in the future, either directly or indirectly, employees or third parties, including financial intermediaries, for client referrals, client retention, and/or client servicing. Compensating third parties for the solicitation, retention, and servicing of clients may create a conflict of interest for those third parties in that the compensation they receive from us may influence the recommendation they make to their customers.

American Century Investments, when acting as investment manager to certain unaffiliated pooled investment vehicles, including collective investment trusts, that invest in American Century Investments sponsored ETFs (“Underlying Funds”), will reimburse the pooled investment vehicle the full amount of the Underlying Funds’ acquired fund fees and expenses (“AFFE”) so that American Century Investments does not receive a financial benefit from, and the pooled investment vehicle does not incur an additional expense for, investing in the Underlying Funds. Such AFFE reimbursements may exceed the investment management fee that American Century Investments receives from the pooled investment vehicle. If you purchase an American Century Investments mutual fund or ETF through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank, insurance company, retirement recordkeeper, plan sponsor, or financial professional), American Century Investments or the fund’s affiliated companies may pay the intermediary for the availability of the fund on the intermediary’s platform, the sale of fund shares, or related services. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other intermediary and your salesperson to recommend our fund over another investment. Ask your salesperson or visit your financial intermediary’s website for more information. We also pay the distributor of the American Century Investments ETFs a fee for serving as principal underwriter of the funds’ shares out of our unified management fee. The distributor does not earn commissions for distributing the funds’ shares.

The private investment funds are audited annually by a nationally recognized firm of independent accountants and the audited financial statements will be distributed to all investors in such private investment funds (as applicable) within 120 days after the close of each private investment fund’s fiscal year and American Century Investments urges investors in these funds to carefully review such audited financial statements.

Such documents may call for a client to specifically approve each investment or investment type prior to investment. We may also be permitted to invest client assets in all other types of investments, provided they are not specifically prohibited by the applicable investment guidelines or other restrictions, such as applicable law. For our clients that are registered mutual funds, our authority to select and trade securities may also be limited by certain federal securities and tax laws that require diversification of investments and favor the holding of investments once made. Mutual funds and private investment funds are managed in accordance with fund guidelines and restrictions, and the strategy does not differ by investor. If you desire us to pursue a certain investment strategy while managing your account, or to observe certain investment limitations or restrictions, you must provide these investment guidelines to us in writing before or at the time we sign an agreement with you regarding our management of your assets. For Managed Account clients, Sponsors and Advisory Clients may exercise investment discretion and execute portfolio transactions based on the Sponsor’s or its designated representative’s own investment judgment. American Century Investments does not provide services to Managed Account clients based on the individual needs of any program client and does not have brokerage discretion for these clients.

We (along with the boards of the American Century Investments funds) have agreed on certain significant contributors to shareholder value with respect to a number of matters that are often the subject of proxy solicitations for shareholder meetings. Accordingly, we have adopted proxy voting policies (the “Policies”) that specifically address these considerations and establish a framework for our consideration of the vote that would be appropriate for, and in the best interest of, our clients. In particular, the Policies outline principles and factors to be considered in the exercise of voting authority for proposals addressing:

non-U.S. proxies sustainability matters routine matters o election of directors o ratification of selection of auditors compensation matters o executive and director compensation o equity-based compensation plans o non-stock incentive plans shareholder rights o one share, one vote o rights to call special shareholder meetings o right to act by written consent o proxy access anti-takeover proposals o staggered board o cumulative voting o “blank check” preferred stock o elimination of preemptive rights o non-targeted share repurchase o increase in authorized common stock o “supermajority” voting provisions or “super voting” share classes o “fair price” amendments o poison pills or shareholder rights plans o change in control agreements o reincorporation o confidential voting o opting in or out of state takeover laws transaction related proposals other matters o shareholder-sponsored proposals o director tenure Page | 54

o director share ownership Under certain circumstances, we may not be able to timely exercise the voting associated with particular securities held in a client’s account, including, but not limited to, when securities are out on loan pursuant to a securities lending program. The Adviser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to monitor for material proxy votes with respect to loaned securities. In the event the Adviser has timely knowledge of a material vote, the Adviser will attempt to recall the loaned securities and submit a proxy in accordance with these proxy guidelines. Efforts to recall loaned securities may not be successful and there can be no guarantee that a valid proxy will be submitted in all cases. The Adviser is responsible for monitoring and resolving possible conflicts between the interests of the Adviser and those of its clients with respect to proxy voting. The Adviser has adopted safeguards to address the potential that our proxy voting could be influenced by interests other than those of our fund shareholders and clients. Since our Policies are predetermined by the Adviser, application of the Policies to vote clients’ proxies should in most instances adequately address any possible conflicts of interest. However, for proxy votes inconsistent with the Policies, the Adviser’s Proxy Voting Committee reviews all such proxy votes to determine whether the portfolio manager’s voting rationale appears reasonable and is consistent with the general principles of the Policies. The Proxy Voting Committee also assesses whether certain business or other significant relationships between the Adviser and a company could have influenced an inconsistent vote on that company’s proxy. Issues raising possible conflicts of interest are referred to the Proxy Voting Committee for immediate resolution prior to the time the Adviser casts its vote. With respect to personal conflicts of interest, the Adviser’s Code of Ethics requires all employees to avoid placing themselves in a compromising position where their interests may conflict with those of our clients and restricts their ability to engage in certain outside business activities. Portfolio managers and other personnel involved with proxy voting with a personal conflict of interest regarding a particular proxy vote must recuse themselves and not participate in the voting decisions with respect to that proxy. In addition, to avoid any potential conflicts of interest that may arise when one American Century Investments fund owns shares of another, we will “echo vote” such shares, if possible. That is, we will vote the shares in the same proportion as the vote of all other holders of the shares. When this is not possible, shares will be voted in consultation with the Adviser-Voted Portfolio client or an appropriate fiduciary responsible for the client (e.g., a committee of the independent directors of a fund or the trustee of a retirement plan). A client may be able to direct how we vote shares held in its account by providing us with written voting instructions adopted by the client and communicated to and accepted by us in writing.

American Century Investments may also retain proxy advisory firms to provide services in connection with voting proxies, including, without limitation, to provide information on shareholder meeting dates and proxy materials, translate proxy materials printed in a foreign language, provide research on proxy proposals and voting recommendations in accordance with the Policies, provide systems to assist with casting the proxy votes, and provide reports and assist with preparation of filings concerning the proxies voted. Prior to the selection of a proxy advisory firm and periodically thereafter, American Century Investments will consider whether the proxy advisory firm has the capacity and competency to adequately analyze proxy issues and the ability to make recommendations based on material accurate information in an impartial manner. Such considerations may include some or all of the following (i) periodic sampling of votes cast through the firm’s systems to determine that votes are in accordance with American Century Investments Policies and its clients best interests, (ii) onsite visits to the proxy advisory firm’s office and/or discussions with the firm to determine whether the firm continues to have the resources (e.g. staffing, personnel, technology, etc.) capacity and competency to carry out its obligations to American Century Investments, (iii) a review of the firm’s policies and procedures, with a focus on those relating to identifying and addressing conflicts of interest and monitoring that current and accurate information is used in creating recommendations, (iv) requesting that the firm notify American Century Investments if there is a change in the firm’s material policies and procedures, particularly with respect to conflicts, or material business practices (e.g., entering or exiting new lines of business), and reviewing any such change, and (v) in case of an error made by the firm, discussing the error with the firm and determining whether appropriate corrective and preventative action is being taken. In the event American Century Investments discovers an error in the research or voting recommendations provided by the firm, it will take reasonable steps to investigate the error and seek to determine whether the firm is taking reasonable steps to reduce similar errors in the future. While American Century Investments takes into account information from many different sources, including independent proxy advisory services, the decision on how to vote proxies will be made in accordance with the Policies. The Adviser reserves the right to vote contrary to the Policies when, in its opinion, the vote will do the most to maximize the investment objective of the account. American Century Investments currently utilizes Institutional Shareholder Services, Inc. (“ISS”) to provide third party proxy voting services. The services ISS provides include, but are not limited to, research and analysis of proxy matters, voting of proxies in accordance with our instructions through the ISS electronic voting platform, recordkeeping related to the voting, and providing the tools necessary for the preparation of required disclosure of the American Century Investments funds’ proxy voting histories. American Century Investments Policies are set up on the ISS electronic voting platform, allowing the ISS system to pre-populate certain ballot items Page | 56

in accordance with American Century Investments Policies. Pre-populated votes are sampled weekly, prior to the votes being cast, and all votes are sampled monthly in order to confirm proxy voting is in accordance with American Century Investments Policies. You may obtain a copy of American Century Investments’ complete Policies, as well as information regarding how we voted proxies relating to securities held in your account, upon request. In addition, the Policies and information regarding how we voted proxies relating to securities held by American Century Investments funds during the most recent 12-month period ended June 30 is available at americancentury.com/proxy. Our funds’ proxy voting record is also available on the SEC’s website at sec.gov.
