At American Century Investments, we’re committed to delivering investment performance and to making a difference. We are proud of our history of helping clients achieve financial success while also making a positive impact in the world. Our story began in 1958 with a passion for delivering superior, long-term, risk-adjusted performance for our clients. Today, thanks to the vision, generosity and conviction of our founders, Jim E. Stowers Jr. and his wife, Virginia, every client who works with us is also supporting life-changing medical research and promoting world health and well-being. After their personal experiences with cancer, Jim and Virginia established the Stowers Institute for Medical Research, a biomedical research organization dedicated to uncovering the causes, treatments and cures for life-threatening dis- eases like cancer, diabetes and dementia. And through our incredibly unique ownership structure, American Century distributes over 40% of our profits to ensure the ongoing support of this innovative medical research, resulting in nearly $2 billion in dividend payments to the Stowers Institute since 2000.
