**Example**

The example below is intended to help you compare the costs of investing in the fund with the costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods, that you earn a 5% return each year, and that the fund's operating expenses remain the same. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
|  | *1 year* | *3 years* | *5 years* | *10 years* |
| Investor Class | $68 | $212 | $368 | $823 |
| I Class | $47 | $148 | $258 | $580 |
| A Class | $663 | $849 | $1050 | $1630 |
| C Class | $169 | $524 | $903 | $1764 |
| R Class | $118 | $369 | $639 | $1409 |

---

**Portfolio Turnover**

The fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the fund's portfolio turnover rate was 20% of the average value of its portfolio.

**Principal Investment Strategies**

Under normal market conditions, the fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in companies that are engaged in mining, processing, fabricating, distributing, exploring for or otherwise dealing in gold. The fund may change this 80% policy only upon 60 days' prior written notice to shareholders. In selecting stocks for the fund, the portfolio managers use quantitative and qualitative management techniques in a multi-step process. First, the managers rank stocks from most attractive to least attractive based on an objective set of measures, including valuation, quality, and/or sentiment. The portfolio managers then review the output of the quantitative model and also consider other factors, such as economic events, corporate announcements, risk management, transaction costs, and/or liquidity, to build a portfolio that they believe will provide a balance between risk and return.

The portfolio managers generally sell a stock when they believe it has become less attractive relative to other opportunities, its risk characteristics outweigh its return opportunity or specific events alter its prospects.

**Principal Risks**

• **Gold Stocks Risk** — Gold stocks are generally considered speculative because of high share price volatility. The price of gold will likely impact the value of the companies in which the fund invests. The price of gold will fluctuate, sometimes considerably. Though many investors believe that gold investments hedge against inflation, currency devaluations and stock market declines, there is no guarantee that these historical inverse relationships will continue.

• **Nondiversification Risk** — The fund is classified as nondiversified. A nondiversified fund may invest a greater percentage of its assets in a smaller number of securities than a diversified fund. This gives the managers the flexibility to hold large positions in a small number of securities. If so, a price change in any one of those securities may have a greater impact on the fund's share price than would be the case in a diversified fund and the fund may be more volatile than if it was diversified.

• **Concentration Risk** — The fund concentrates its investments in a specific area and therefore may be subject to greater risks and market fluctuations than a portfolio representing a broader range of industries.

• **Foreign Securities Risk** — The fund invests primarily in foreign securities, which are generally riskier than U.S. stocks. Securities of foreign issuers may be less liquid, more volatile and harder to value than U.S. securities.

• **Emerging Markets Risk** —Investing in securities of companies located in emerging market countries generally is riskier than investing in securities of companies located in foreign developed countries.

• **Currency Risk** — Because the fund invests in securities denominated in foreign currencies, the fund is subject to currency risk, meaning that the fund could experience gains or losses based solely on changes in the exchange rate between foreign currencies and the U.S. dollar.

• **Single Country Risk** — Investing a significant portion of assets in one country or region, such as Canada, makes the fund more dependent upon the political and economic circumstances of that particular country or region than a mutual fund that is more widely diversified.

**• Market Risk** — The value of the fund's shares will go up and down based on the performance of the companies whose securities it owns and other factors generally affecting the securities market. Market risks, including political, regulatory, economic and social developments, can affect the value of the fund's investments. Natural disasters, public health emergencies, war, terrorism and other unforeseeable events may lead to increased market volatility and may have adverse long-term effects on world economies and markets generally.

------

• **Price Volatility Risk** — The value of the fund's shares may fluctuate significantly in the short term.

• **Principal Loss Risk** — At any given time your shares may be worth less than the price you paid for them. In other words, it is possible to lose money by investing in the fund.

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

**Fund Performance**

The following bar chart and table provide some indication of the risks of investing in the fund. The bar chart shows changes in the fund's performance from year to year for Investor Class shares. The table shows how the fund's average annual returns for the periods shown compared with those of a broad measure of market performance. The table also shows returns for the NYSE Arca Gold Miners Index, which is a modified market capitalization-weighted index comprised of publicly traded companies involved primarily in mining for gold and silver. The fund's past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of how the fund will perform in the future. For current performance information, please visit americancentury.com.

Sales charges and account fees, if applicable, are not reflected in the bar chart. If those charges were included, returns would be less than those shown.

The after-tax returns are shown only for Investor Class shares. After-tax returns for other share classes will vary. After-tax returns are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend on an investor's tax situation and may differ from those shown. After-tax returns are not relevant to investors who hold their fund shares through tax-deferred arrangements, such as 401(k) plans or IRAs.

The minimum may be waived for broker-dealer sponsored wrap program accounts, fee based accounts, and accounts through bank/trust and wealth management advisory organizations.

For the Investor, A, C and R Classes, there is no minimum initial investment amount for certain employer-sponsored retirement plans, however, financial intermediaries or plan recordkeepers may require plans to meet different minimums.

Fund distributions are generally taxable as ordinary income or capital gains, unless you are investing through a tax-deferred account such as a 401(k) or individual retirement account (in which case you may be taxed upon withdrawal of your investment from such account).

**Payments to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries** 

If you purchase the fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank, insurance company, plan sponsor or financial professional), the fund and its related companies may pay the intermediary for the sale of fund shares and related services. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other intermediary and your salesperson to recommend the fund over another investment. Ask your salesperson or visit your financial intermediary's website for more information.
