President’s Letter

Jonathan Thomas

Dear Investor:

Thank you for reviewing this annual report for the period ended March 31, 2022. Annual reports help convey important information about fund returns, including market factors that affected performance. For additional investment insights, please visit americancentury.com.

Soaring Inflation, Escalating Volatility Led to Mixed Results for Stocks and Bonds

Upbeat economic and earnings data and continued Federal Reserve (Fed) support generally buoyed stock returns for most of the reporting period. Despite periodic outbreaks of COVID-19, the worst of the virus appeared over in the U.S., and pre-pandemic activities gradually resumed. Bonds delivered solid gains in the first half of the period before a Fed policy pivot triggered a drastic sentiment shift in fixed-income markets.

Early in the period, inflation began a steady upward march. Initially, the Fed was unfazed, viewing the price hikes as a temporary economic consequence of recovering from the pandemic. But by late 2021, inflation was surging toward multidecade highs, prompting the Fed to adopt a more hawkish strategy.

Policymakers announced an abrupt end to bond buying followed by a March rate hike, the first since 2018. At period-end, market indicators reflected expectations for more aggressive Fed rate hikes along with balance sheet cuts to tame inflation.

In addition to an 8.5% annual inflation rate and a hawkish Fed, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine further rattled investors in early 2022. Stocks declined sharply amid the unrest, but strong performance earlier in the fiscal year left most U.S. indices with solid 12-month gains. For bonds, declines in the second half of the reporting period overwhelmed earlier gains, and most U.S. fixed-income indices retreated for the 12 months overall.

Staying Focused in Uncertain Times

We expect market volatility to linger amid elevated inflation and tighter Fed policy. In addition, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has led to a devastating humanitarian crisis and further complicated a tense geopolitical backdrop. We will continue to monitor the evolving situation and its implications for our clients and our investment exposure.

We appreciate your confidence in us during these extraordinary times. Our firm has a long history of helping clients weather unpredictable and volatile markets, and we’re confident we will continue to meet prevailing challenges.

Sincerely,

Jonathan Thomas

President and Chief Executive Officer

American Century Investments

Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses
Investor Class			0.48%

The total annual fund operating expenses shown is as stated in the fund’s prospectus current as of the date of this report. The prospectus may vary from the expense ratio shown elsewhere in this report because it is based on a different time period, includes acquired fund fees and expenses, and, if applicable, does not include fee waivers or expense reimbursements.

Data presented reflect past performance. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance shown. Total returns for periods less than one year are not annualized. To obtain performance data current to the most recent month end, please call 1-800-345-2021 or visit americancentury.com. For additional information about the fund, please consult the prospectus.

You could lose money by investing in the fund. Although the fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it cannot guarantee it will do so. An investment in the fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. The fund’s sponsor has no legal obligation to provide financial support to the fund, and you should not expect that the sponsor will provide financial support to the fund at any time.

The 7-day current yield more closely reflects the current earnings of the fund than the total return.

Shareholder Fee Example

Fund shareholders may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and redemption/exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service (12b-1) fees; and other fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in your fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing cost of investing in other mutual funds.

The example is based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from October 1, 2021 to March 31, 2022.

Actual Expenses

The table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses for each class. You may use the information, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. First, identify the share class you own. Then simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

If you hold Investor Class shares of any American Century Investments fund, or I Class shares of the American Century Diversified Bond Fund, in an American Century Investments account (i.e., not through a financial intermediary or employer-sponsored retirement plan account), American Century Investments may charge you a $25.00 annual account maintenance fee if the value of those shares is less than $10,000. We will redeem shares automatically in one of your accounts to pay the $25.00 fee. In determining your total eligible investment amount, we will include your investments in all personal accounts (including American Century Investments brokerage accounts) registered under your Social Security number. Personal accounts include individual accounts, joint accounts, UGMA/UTMA accounts, personal trusts, Coverdell Education Savings Accounts and IRAs (including traditional, Roth, Rollover, SEP-, SARSEP- and SIMPLE-IRAs), and certain other retirement accounts. If you have only business, business retirement, employer-sponsored or American Century Investments brokerage accounts, you are currently not subject to this fee. If you are subject to the account maintenance fee, your account value could be reduced by the fee amount.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The table also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual expense ratio of each class of your fund and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the actual return of a fund’s share class. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption/exchange fees. Therefore, the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.


	Beginning Account Value 10/1/21	Ending Account Value 3/31/22	Expenses Paid During Period(1) 10/1/21 - 3/31/22	Annualized Expense Ratio(1)
Actual
Investor Class	$1,000	$1,000.00	$0.55	0.11%
Hypothetical
Investor Class	$1,000	$1,024.38	$0.56	0.11%

(1)Expenses are equal to the class's annualized expense ratio listed in the table above, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 182, the number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year, divided by 365, to reflect the one-half year period. Annualized expense ratio reflects actual expenses, including any applicable fee waivers or expense reimbursements and excluding any acquired fund fees and expenses.

Notes to Financial Statements

MARCH 31, 2022

1. Organization

American Century Government Income Trust (the trust) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company and is organized as a Massachusetts business trust. Capital Preservation Fund (the fund) is one fund in a series issued by the trust. The fund is a money market fund and its investment objective is to seek maximum safety and liquidity. Its secondary objective is to seek to pay shareholders the highest rate of return consistent with safety and liquidity.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the fund in preparation of its financial statements. The fund is an investment company and follows accounting and reporting guidance in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. This may require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Management evaluated the impact of events or transactions occurring through the date the financial statements were issued that would merit recognition or disclosure.

Investment Valuations — The fund determines the fair value of its investments and computes its net asset value (NAV) per share at the close of regular trading (usually 4 p.m. Eastern time) on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on each day the NYSE is open. Investments are generally valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. If the fund determines that the amortized cost does not reflect an investment’s fair value, such investment is valued as determined in good faith by the Board of Trustees or its delegate, in accordance with policies and procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees.

Security Transactions — Security transactions are accounted for as of the trade date. Net realized gains and losses are determined on the identified cost basis, which is also used for federal income tax purposes.

Investment Income — Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis and includes accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums.

Treasury Roll Transactions — The fund purchases a security and at the same time makes a commitment to sell the same security at a future settlement date at a specified price. These types of transactions are known as treasury roll transactions. The difference between the purchase price and the sale price represents interest income reflective of an agreed upon rate between the fund and the counterparty.

Income Tax Status — It is the fund’s policy to distribute substantially all net investment income and net realized gains to shareholders and to otherwise qualify as a regulated investment company under provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, no provision has been made for income taxes. The fund files U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S. tax returns as applicable. The fund's tax returns are subject to examination by the relevant taxing authority until expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, which is generally three years from the date of filing but can be longer in certain jurisdictions. At this time, management believes there are no uncertain tax positions which, based on their technical merit, would not be sustained upon examination and for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.

Distributions to Shareholders — Distributions from net investment income, if any, are declared daily and paid monthly. The fund may make capital gains distributions to comply with the distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue Code.

Indemnifications — Under the trust’s organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the fund. In addition, in the normal course of business, the fund enters into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against a fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered by management to be remote.

3. Fees and Transactions with Related Parties

Certain officers and trustees of the trust are also officers and/or directors of American Century Companies, Inc. (ACC). The trust's investment advisor, American Century Investment Management, Inc. (ACIM), the trust's distributor, American Century Investment Services, Inc., and the trust's transfer agent, American Century Services, LLC, are wholly owned, directly or indirectly, by ACC.

other funds (funds of funds) are not included. In order to maintain a positive yield, ACIM may voluntarily waive a portion of the management fee on a daily basis. The fee waiver may be revised or terminated at any time by the investment advisor without notice. The rates for the Investment Category Fee range from 0.1370% to 0.2500% and the rates for the Complex Fee range from 0.2500% to 0.3100%. The effective annual management fee for the period ended March 31, 2022 was 0.47% before waiver and 0.07% after waiver.

Trustees’ Fees and Expenses — The Board of Trustees is responsible for overseeing the investment advisor’s management and operations of the fund. The trustees receive detailed information about the fund and its investment advisor regularly throughout the year, and meet at least quarterly with management of the investment advisor to review reports about fund operations. The fund’s officers do not receive compensation from the fund.

Interfund Transactions — The fund may enter into security transactions with other American Century Investments funds and other client accounts of the investment advisor, in accordance with the 1940 Act rules and procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. The rules and procedures require, among other things, that these transactions be effected at the independent current market price of the security. There were no interfund transactions during the period.

4. Fair Value Measurements

The fund’s investments valuation process is based on several considerations and may use multiple inputs to determine the fair value of the investments held by the fund. In conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the inputs used to determine a valuation are classified into three broad levels.

•Level 1 valuation inputs consist of unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical investments.

•Level 2 valuation inputs consist of direct or indirect observable market data (including quoted prices for comparable investments, evaluations of subsequent market events, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.). These inputs also consist of quoted prices for identical investments initially expressed in local currencies that are adjusted through translation into U.S. dollars.

•Level 3 valuation inputs consist of unobservable data (including a fund’s own assumptions).

The level classification is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair valuation measurement. The valuation inputs are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in these securities or other financial instruments.

As of period end, the fund’s investment securities were classified as Level 2. The Schedule of Investments provides additional information on the fund’s portfolio holdings.

5. Federal Tax Information

The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021 were as follows:


	2022		2021
Distributions Paid From
Ordinary income	$	219,788	$	329,680
Long-term capital gains	—		—

The book-basis character of distributions made during the year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. These differences reflect the differing character of certain income items and net realized gains and losses for financial statement and tax purposes, and may result in reclassification among certain capital accounts on the financial statements.

As of March 31, 2022, the fund had undistributed ordinary income for federal income tax purposes of $5,400.

As of March 31, 2022, the fund had accumulated short-term capital losses of $(2,319), which represent net

capital loss carryovers that may be used to offset future realized capital gains for federal income tax purposes.

The capital loss carryovers may be carried forward for an unlimited period. Future capital loss carryover

utilization in any given year may be subject to Internal Revenue Code limitations.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Shareholders and the Board of Trustees of American Century Government Income Trust:

Opinion on the Financial Statements and Financial Highlights

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of Capital Preservation Fund (the “Fund”), one of the funds constituting the American Century Government Income Trust, as of March 31, 2022, the related statement of operations, statement of changes in net assets, and financial highlights for the year then ended, and the related notes. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Capital Preservation Fund of the American Century Government Income Trust as of March 31, 2022, and the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets, and the financial highlights for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The statement of changes in net assets for the year ended March 31, 2021 and the financial highlights for each of the four years in the period ended March 31, 2021 were audited by other auditors, whose report, dated May 18, 2021, expressed an unqualified opinion on such statement of changes in net assets and financial highlights.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements and financial highlights based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of March 31, 2022, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Management

Board of Trustees

The individuals listed below serve as trustees of the funds. Each trustee will continue to serve in this capacity until death, retirement, resignation or removal from office. The board has adopted a mandatory retirement age for trustees who are not “interested persons,” as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act (independent trustees). Independent trustees shall retire on December 31 of the year in which they reach their 76th birthday.

Jonathan S. Thomas is an “interested person” because he currently serves as President and Chief Executive Officer of American Century Companies, Inc. (ACC), the parent company of American Century Investment Management, Inc. (ACIM or the advisor). The other trustees (more than three-fourths of the total number) are independent. They are not employees, directors or officers of, and have no financial interest in, ACC or any of its wholly owned, direct or indirect, subsidiaries, including ACIM, American Century Investment Services, Inc. (ACIS) and American Century Services, LLC (ACS), and they do not have any other affiliations, positions or relationships that would cause them to be considered “interested persons” under the Investment Company Act. The trustees serve in this capacity for eight (in the case of Jonathan S. Thomas, 16; and Jeremy I. Bulow, 9) registered investment companies in the American Century Investments family of funds.

The following table presents additional information about the trustees. The mailing address for each trustee other than Jonathan S. Thomas is 3945 Freedom Circle, Suite #800, Santa Clara, California 95054. The mailing address for Jonathan S. Thomas is 4500 Main Street, Kansas City, Missouri 64111.

Liquidity Risk Management Program

The Fund has adopted a liquidity risk management program (the “program”). The Fund’s Board of Trustees (the "Board") has designated American Century Investment Management, Inc. (“ACIM”) as the administrator of the program. Personnel of ACIM or its affiliates conduct the day-to-day operation of the program pursuant to policies and procedures administered by the Program Administrator, including members of ACIM’s Investment Oversight Committee who are members of the ACIM’s Investment Management and Global Analytics departments.

Under the program, ACIM manages the Fund’s liquidity risk, which is the risk that the Fund could not meet shareholder redemption requests without significant dilution of remaining shareholders’ interests in the Fund. This risk is managed by monitoring the degree of liquidity of the Fund’s investments, limiting the amount of the Fund’s illiquid investments, and utilizing various risk management tools and facilities available to the Fund for meeting shareholder redemptions, among other means. ACIM’s process of determining the degree of liquidity of certain Fund’s investments is supported by a third-party liquidity assessment vendor.

The Board reviewed a report prepared by ACIM regarding the operation and effectiveness of the program for the period January 1, 2021 through December 31, 2021. No significant liquidity events impacting the Fund were noted in the report. In addition, ACIM provided its assessment that the program had been effective in managing the Fund’s liquidity risk.


Additional Information

Retirement Account Information

As required by law, distributions you receive from certain retirement accounts are subject to federal income tax withholding, unless you elect not to have withholding apply*. Tax will be withheld on the total amount withdrawn even though you may be receiving amounts that are not subject to withholding, such as nondeductible contributions. In such case, excess amounts of withholding could occur. You may adjust your withholding election so that a greater or lesser amount will be withheld.

If you don’t want us to withhold on this amount, you must notify us to not withhold the federal income tax. You may notify us in writing or in certain situations by telephone or through other electronic means. For systematic withdrawals, your withholding election will remain in effect until revoked or changed by filing a new election. You have the right to revoke your election at any time and change your withholding percentage for future distributions.

Remember, even if you elect not to have income tax withheld, you are liable for paying income tax on the taxable portion of your withdrawal. If you elect not to have income tax withheld or you don’t have enough income tax withheld, you may be responsible for payment of estimated tax. You may incur penalties under the estimated tax rules if your withholding and estimated tax payments are not sufficient. You can reduce or defer the income tax on a distribution by directly or indirectly rolling such distribution over to another IRA or eligible plan. You should consult your tax advisor for additional information.

State tax will be withheld if, at the time of your distribution, your address is within one of the mandatory withholding states and you have federal income tax withheld (or as otherwise required by state law). State taxes will be withheld from your distribution in accordance with the respective state rules.

*Some 403(b), 457 and qualified retirement plan distributions may be subject to 20% mandatory withholding, as they are subject to special tax and withholding rules. Your plan administrator or plan sponsor is required to provide you with a special tax notice explaining those rules at the time you request a distribution. If applicable, federal and/or state taxes may be withheld from your distribution amount.

Portfolio Commentary

Portfolio Managers: Peter Van Gelderen, Dan Shiffman, Bob Gahagan and Jesse Singh

In August 2021, Peter Van Gelderen joined the fund’s portfolio management team, and Hando Aguilar left the team.

Performance Summary

Ginnie Mae returned -5.41%* for the 12 months ended March 31, 2022. By comparison, the Bloomberg U.S. GNMA Index declined -4.60%. Fund returns reflect operating expenses, while index returns do not.

Inflation and changing Federal Reserve (Fed) policy dominated the market backdrop during the reporting period. Inflation started the period higher than the Fed’s longtime 2% target and remained on an upward trajectory. Persistent supply chain challenges, surging demand, soaring oil and commodity prices, labor shortages and fiscal policy contributed to spiking prices.

Fed policy generally remained dovish until late 2021, as inflation showed no signs of easing. Until then, policymakers had insisted rising prices would be transitory. The Fed accelerated the tapering of its bond-buying program and in March 2022 finally hiked interest rates just as inflation was revisiting 40-year highs.

The U.S. economy expanded at a healthy clip through much of the period, bolstered by robust manufacturing activity, a strong housing market and job gains. By period-end, however, business and consumer confidence wavered, and retail sales weakened in the face of soaring prices and sharply higher interest rates.

Resurgent waves of COVID-19 cases and, in the period’s final weeks, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine contributed to significant rate volatility during the period. After starting the reporting period at 1.75%, the 10-year Treasury yield ended March 2022 at 2.34%, fueled by an 83-basis-point jump in the first quarter of 2022. More closely tied to the Fed’s key rate, the two-year Treasury yield jumped from 0.16% at the start of the period to 2.34%, including a 161-basis-point surge during the first quarter of 2022. The Treasury yield curve flattened significantly during the period, reflecting a larger rise in short-maturity yields than in long-maturity yields.

For most of the period, a robust housing market and attractive mortgage rates helped support the broad mortgage-backed securities (MBS) market. However, when the Fed ended its quantitative easing (QE) program, which initially included monthly MBS purchases of $40 billion, the mortgage market lost a significant buyer. At the same time, rising Treasury yields and expectations for aggressive Fed tightening drove mortgage rates higher, further pressuring the housing market.

For the full 12-month period, most bond market sectors, including MBS, declined. Against this backdrop, security selection accounted for much of Ginnie Mae’s underperformance.

Security Selection Detracted

Within the portfolio, security selection was the main detractor from relative performance. In particular, our selections among lower-coupon Ginnie Mae securities weighed on results in late

2021, as the Fed began tapering. Previously, these securities benefited from the Fed’s QE program, which favored lower-coupon mortgages, and from their lower prepayment risk versus higher-coupon mortgages.

*All fund returns referenced in this commentary are for Investor Class shares. Performance for other share classes will vary due to differences in fee structure; when Investor Class performance exceeds that of the index, other share classes may not. See page 3 for returns for all share classes.

But, as tapering took hold and prepayment risk increased, these securities suffered. In early 2022, we shifted portfolio exposure to favor higher-coupon securities in anticipation of rising interest and mortgage rates. This strategy aided relative results late in the period.

Allocations, Out-of-Index Holdings Added Value

We continued to favor 30-year Ginnie Mae securities over 15-year securities. This strategy lifted results through the first several months of the period, largely due to the Fed’s purchase of longer-maturity MBS as part of QE. Within the 30-year segment, we emphasized deep discount Ginnie Maes in demographically and geographically diverse pools.

We continued to invest in out-of-index securities, including agency collateralized mortgage obligations and agency adjustable-rate mortgages. These positions contributed modestly to results.

Portfolio Positioning

We believe the U.S. economy will continue to grow in the coming quarters, but likely at a slower pace than in 2021. We believe elevated market volatility will persist as investors contend with potential headwinds, including ongoing pressures from elevated inflation, Fed tightening and geopolitical unrest. The annual headline inflation may peak in the coming months. However, several factors, including supply chain issues, record federal spending and deficits, rising wages and deglobalization, likely will keep inflation well above pre-pandemic levels.

The Fed faces a formidable task in tempering inflation without triggering a recession. Anticipating further Fed tightening and elevated inflation, we believe bond market yields may yet climb modestly higher, so we ended the period with a relatively short duration. An inverted yield curve remains a possibility, but we don’t think a recession is imminent, largely due to relatively strong economic fundamentals.

So far, rising mortgage rates haven’t dampened housing demand. However, because we expect rates to move higher, we believe housing demand eventually will slow. In our view, this scenario warrants continued focus on security selection.

Notes to Financial Statements

MARCH 31, 2022

1. Organization

American Century Government Income Trust (the trust) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company and is organized as a Massachusetts business trust. Ginnie Mae Fund (the fund) is one fund in a series issued by the trust. The fund’s investment objective is to seek high current income while maintaining liquidity and safety of principal by investing primarily in Government National Mortgage Association certificates.

The fund offers the Investor Class, I Class, A Class, C Class, R Class and R5 Class. The A Class may incur an initial sales charge. The A Class and C Class may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

Investment Valuations — The fund determines the fair value of its investments and computes its net asset value (NAV) per share at the close of regular trading (usually 4 p.m. Eastern time) on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on each day the NYSE is open. The Board of Trustees has adopted valuation policies and procedures to guide the investment advisor in the fund’s investment valuation process and to provide methodologies for the oversight of the fund’s pricing function.

Fixed income securities are valued at the evaluated mean as provided by independent pricing services or at the mean of the most recent bid and asked prices as provided by investment dealers. U.S. Treasury and Government Agency securities are valued using market models that consider trade data, quotations from dealers and active market makers, relevant yield curve and spread data, creditworthiness, trade data or market information on comparable securities, and other relevant security specific information. Mortgage-related and asset-backed securities are valued based on models that consider trade data, prepayment and default projections, benchmark yield and spread data and estimated cash flows of each tranche of the issuer.

If the fund determines that the market price for an investment is not readily available or the valuation methods mentioned above do not reflect an investment’s fair value, such investment is valued as determined in good faith by the Board of Trustees or its delegate, in accordance with policies and procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. In its determination of fair value, the fund may review several factors including, but not limited to, market information regarding the specific investment or comparable investments and correlation with other investment types, futures indices or general market indicators. Circumstances that may cause the fund to use these procedures to value an investment include, but are not limited to: an investment has been declared in default or is distressed; trading in a security has been suspended during the trading day or a security is not actively trading on its principal exchange; prices received from a regular pricing source are deemed unreliable; or there is a foreign market holiday and no trading occurred.

The fund monitors for significant events occurring after the close of an investment’s primary exchange but before the fund’s NAV per share is determined. Significant events may include, but are not limited to: corporate announcements and transactions; governmental action and political unrest that could impact a specific investment or an investment sector; or armed conflicts, natural disasters and similar events that could affect investments in a specific country or region.

Investment Income — Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis and includes paydown gain (loss) and accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums.

Forward Commitments — The fund may engage in securities transactions on a forward commitment basis. In these transactions, the securities’ prices and yields are fixed on the date of the commitment. The fund may sell a to-be-announced (TBA) security and at the same time make a commitment to purchase the same security at a future date at a specified price. Conversely, the fund may purchase a TBA security and at the same time make a commitment to sell the same security at a future date at a specified price. These types of transactions are known as “TBA roll” transactions and are accounted for as purchases and sales. The fund will segregate cash, cash equivalents or other appropriate liquid securities on its records in amounts sufficient to meet the purchase price.

Repurchase Agreements — The fund may enter into repurchase agreements with institutions that American Century Investment Management, Inc. (ACIM) (the investment advisor) has determined are creditworthy pursuant to criteria adopted by the Board of Trustees. The fund requires that the collateral, represented by securities, received in a repurchase transaction be transferred to the custodian in a manner sufficient to enable the fund to obtain those securities in the event of a default under the repurchase agreement. ACIM monitors, on a daily basis, the securities transferred to ensure the value, including accrued interest, of the securities under each repurchase agreement is equal to or greater than amounts owed to the fund under each repurchase agreement.

Joint Trading Account — Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the fund, along with certain other funds in the American Century Investments family of funds, may transfer uninvested cash balances into a joint trading account. These balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Agency obligations.

Segregated Assets — In accordance with the 1940 Act, the fund segregates assets on its books and records to cover certain types of investment securities and other financial instruments. ACIM monitors, on a daily basis, the securities segregated to ensure the fund designates a sufficient amount of liquid assets, marked-to-market daily. The fund may also receive assets or be required to pledge assets at the custodian bank or with a broker for collateral requirements.

Multiple Class — All shares of the fund represent an equal pro rata interest in the net assets of the class to which such shares belong, and have identical voting, dividend, liquidation and other rights and the same terms and conditions, except for class specific expenses and exclusive rights to vote on matters affecting only individual classes. Income, non-class specific expenses, and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses of the fund are allocated to each class of shares based on their relative net assets.

Distributions to Shareholders — Distributions from net investment income, if any, are declared daily and paid monthly. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are generally declared and paid annually.

3. Fees and Transactions with Related Parties

Certain officers and trustees of the trust are also officers and/or directors of American Century Companies, Inc. (ACC). The trust's investment advisor, ACIM, the trust's distributor, American Century Investment Services, Inc. (ACIS), and the trust's transfer agent, American Century Services, LLC, are wholly owned, directly or indirectly, by ACC.

Management Fees — The trust has entered into a management agreement with ACIM, under which ACIM provides the fund with investment advisory and management services in exchange for a single, unified management fee (the fee) per class. The agreement provides that ACIM will pay all expenses of managing and operating the fund, except brokerage expenses, taxes, interest, fees and expenses of the independent trustees (including legal counsel fees), 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 1940 Act. The fee is computed and accrued daily based on each class’s daily net assets and paid monthly in arrears. The difference in the fee among the classes is a result of their separate arrangements for non-Rule 12b-1 shareholder services. It is not the result of any difference in advisory or custodial fees or other expenses related to the management of the fund’s assets, which do not vary by class. The fee consists of (1) an Investment Category Fee based on the daily net assets of the fund and certain other accounts managed by the investment advisor that are in the same broad investment category as the fund and (2) a Complex Fee based on the assets of all funds in the American Century Investments family of funds that have the same investment advisor and distributor as the fund. For purposes of determining the Investment Category Fee and Complex Fee, the assets of funds managed by the investment advisor that invest exclusively in the shares of other funds (funds of funds) are not included.

The Investment Category Fee range, the Complex Fee range and the effective annual management fee for each class for the period ended March 31, 2022 are as follows:


	Investment Category Fee Range	Complex Fee Range	Effective Annual Management Fee
Investor Class	0.2425% to 0.3600%	0.2500% to 0.3100%	0.53%
I Class		0.1500% to 0.2100%	0.43%
A Class		0.2500% to 0.3100%	0.53%
C Class		0.2500% to 0.3100%	0.53%
R Class		0.2500% to 0.3100%	0.53%
R5 Class		0.0500% to 0.1100%	0.33%

Distribution and Service Fees — The Board of Trustees has adopted a separate Master Distribution and Individual Shareholder Services Plan for each of the A Class, C Class and R Class (collectively the plans), pursuant to Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act. The plans provide that the A Class will pay ACIS an annual distribution and service fee of 0.25%. The plans provide that the C Class will pay ACIS an annual distribution and service fee of 1.00%, of which 0.25% is paid for individual shareholder services and 0.75% is paid for distribution services. The plans provide that the R Class will pay ACIS an annual distribution and service fee of 0.50%. The fees are computed and accrued daily based on each class’s daily net assets and paid monthly in arrears. The fees are used to pay financial intermediaries for distribution and individual shareholder services. Fees incurred under the plans during the period ended March 31, 2022 are detailed in the Statement of Operations.

4. Investment Transactions

Purchases and sales of investment securities, excluding short-term investments, for the period ended March 31, 2022 were $2,323,252,279 and $2,702,027,843, respectively, all of which are U.S. Treasury and Government Agency obligations.

7. Derivative Instruments

Interest Rate Risk — The fund is subject to interest rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The value of bonds generally declines as interest rates rise. A fund may enter into futures contracts based on a bond index or a specific underlying security. A fund may purchase futures contracts to gain exposure to increases in market value or sell futures contracts to protect against a decline in market value. Upon entering into a futures contract, a fund will segregate cash, cash equivalents or other appropriate liquid securities on its records in amounts sufficient to meet requirements. Subsequent payments (variation margin) are made or received daily, in cash, by a fund. The variation margin is equal to the daily change in the contract value and is recorded as unrealized gains and losses. A fund recognizes a realized gain or loss when the futures contract is closed or expires. Net realized and unrealized gains or losses occurring during the holding period of futures contracts are a component of net realized gain (loss) on futures contract transactions and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on futures contracts, respectively. One of the risks of entering into futures contracts is the possibility that the change in value of the contract may not correlate with the changes in value of the underlying securities. The fund's average notional exposure to interest rate risk derivative instruments held during the period was $21,262,109 futures contracts purchased and $30,230,344 futures contracts sold.

The value of interest rate risk derivative instruments as of March 31, 2022, is disclosed on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an asset of $32,998 in receivable for variation margin on futures contracts.* For the year ended March 31, 2022, the effect of interest rate risk derivative instruments on the Statement of Operations was $(49,333) in net realized gain (loss) on futures contract transactions and $(1,629,271) in change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on futures contracts.

*Included in the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on futures contracts as reported in the Schedule of Investments.

8. Risk Factors

The value of the fund’s shares will go up and down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably, based on the performance of the securities owned by the fund 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.

The fund may invest in instruments that have variable or floating coupon rates based on the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR). LIBOR is a benchmark interest rate intended to be representative of the rate at which certain major international banks lend to one another over short-terms. Financial institutions have started the process of phasing out LIBOR and the transition process to a replacement rate may lead to increased volatility or illiquidity in markets for instruments that rely on LIBOR. This could result in a change to the value of such instruments or a change in the cost of temporary borrowing for the fund.

The fund’s investment process may result in high portfolio turnover, which could mean high transaction costs, affecting both performance and capital gains tax liabilities to investors.

9. Federal Tax Information

The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021 were as follows:


	2022		2021
Distributions Paid From
Ordinary income	$	13,284,771	$	20,358,502
Long-term capital gains	—		—

As of period end, the federal tax cost of investments and the components of distributable earnings on a tax-basis were as follows:


Federal tax cost of investments	$	730,670,368
Gross tax appreciation of investments	$	4,112,405
Gross tax depreciation of investments	(23,646,211)
Net tax appreciation (depreciation) of investments	$	(19,533,806)
Undistributed ordinary income	$	2,301
Accumulated short-term capital losses	$	(9,395,969)
Accumulated long-term capital losses	$	(58,714,839)

The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is attributable primarily to the realization for tax purposes of unrealized gains (losses) on futures contracts.

Accumulated capital losses represent net capital loss carryovers that may be used to offset future realized capital gains for federal income tax purposes. The capital loss carryovers may be carried forward for an unlimited period. Future capital loss carryover utilization in any given year may be subject to Internal Revenue Code limitations.

Portfolio Commentary

Portfolio Managers: Bob Gahagan, Peter Van Gelderen, Dan Shiffman and Jim Platz

In August 2021, Peter Van Gelderen joined the fund’s portfolio management team, and Hando Aguilar left the team. Brian Howell also left the fund’s portfolio management team in August 2021, ahead of his December 2021 retirement from American Century Investments.

Performance Summary

Government Bond returned -3.76%* for the 12 months ended March 31, 2022. The Bloomberg U.S. Government/MBS Index returned -4.20%. Fund returns reflect operating expenses, while index returns do not.

Inflation and changing Federal Reserve (Fed) policy dominated the reporting period. Inflation started the period well above the Fed’s longtime 2% target and didn’t let up. Persistent supply chain challenges, surging demand, soaring oil and commodity prices, labor shortages and fiscal policy contributed to spiking prices.

Fed policy generally remained dovish until late 2021, as inflation continued to rise. Until then, policymakers insisted rising prices would be transitory. The Fed accelerated the tapering of its bond-buying program and in March 2022 finally hiked interest rates just as inflation was revisiting 40-year highs.

Resurgent waves of COVID-19 cases and, in the period’s final weeks, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine contributed to significant rate volatility during the period. After starting the reporting period at 1.75%, the 10-year Treasury yield ended March 2022 at 2.34%, fueled by an 83-basis-point jump in the first quarter of 2022. More closely tied to the Fed’s key rate, the two-year Treasury yield jumped from 0.16% at the start of the period to 2.34%, including a 161-basis-point surge during the first quarter of 2022. The Treasury yield curve significantly flattened during the period, reflecting a larger rise in short-maturity yields than in long-maturity yields.

For the full 12-month period, Treasuries and mortgage-backed securities generally declined. Meanwhile, soaring inflation boosted inflation-linked bonds. Against this backdrop, positions in inflation-linked bonds and our duration positioning accounted for much of Government Bond’s outperformance.

Inflation-Linked Securities, Duration Aided Relative Returns

As inflation soared—both in current inflation figures and expectations—our out-of-index investment in inflation-linked securities lifted performance. In addition, our shorter-than-index duration positioning proved advantageous, especially as rates broadly rose late in the period.

Relative gains from an overweight stake relative to the index in agency-issued bonds helped offset a decline from an underweight position in nominal Treasuries and other government bonds. Our agency position also helped offset negative effects from an overweight stake in securitized debt.

Security Selection Among Treasuries Hindered Relative Performance

Security selection was a modest drag on relative results, largely due to investments in nominal Treasuries and other government bonds. However, security selection in the securitized sector, including out-of-index positions in agency commercial mortgage-backed securities and agency collateralized mortgage obligations, mitigated most of the setback.

Portfolio Positioning

The Fed faces a formidable task in tempering inflation without triggering a recession. Anticipating further Fed tightening and elevated inflation, we believe bond market yields may yet climb modestly higher, so we ended the period maintaining our short-duration strategy. An inverted yield curve remains a possibility, but we don’t think a recession is imminent, largely due to relatively strong economic fundamentals.

We expect annual headline inflation to peak in the coming months. However, several factors, including supply chain issues, record federal spending and deficits, rising wages and deglobalization, likely will keep inflation well above pre-pandemic levels. Against this backdrop, we still believe inflation-linked securities offer value.

Within securitized assets, we believe demand for floating-rate issues will remain healthy. We also believe select government-guaranteed asset-backed securities are solid candidates for a potential rebound. We expect to maintain an underweight position to agency mortgage-backed securities as the Fed considers trimming its balance sheet.

Given the broad uncertainties, we expect to maintain reduced risk exposure until more macroeconomic clarity emerges. Nonetheless, we continue to look for attractive buying opportunities that often emerge during volatile periods, relying on our bottom-up approach to portfolio management.

Notes to Financial Statements

MARCH 31, 2022

1. Organization

2. Significant Accounting Policies

Investment Valuations — The fund determines the fair value of its investments and computes its net asset value (NAV) per share at the close of regular trading (usually 4 p.m. Eastern time) on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on each day the NYSE is open. The Board of Trustees has adopted valuation policies and procedures to guide the investment advisor in the fund’s investment valuation process and to provide methodologies for the oversight of the fund’s pricing function.

Fixed income securities are valued at the evaluated mean as provided by independent pricing services or at the mean of the most recent bid and asked prices as provided by investment dealers. U.S. Treasury, Government Agency and municipal securities are valued using market models that consider trade data, quotations from dealers and active market makers, relevant yield curve and spread data, creditworthiness, trade data or market information on comparable securities, and other relevant security specific information. Mortgage-related and asset-backed securities are valued based on models that consider trade data, prepayment and default projections, benchmark yield and spread data and estimated cash flows of each tranche of the issuer.

Investment Income — Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis and includes paydown gain (loss) and accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums. Inflation adjustments related to inflation-linked debt securities are reflected as interest income.

3. Fees and Transactions with Related Parties

The Investment Category Fee range, the Complex Fee range and the effective annual management fee for each class for the period ended March 31, 2022 are as follows:

7. Derivative Instruments

Interest Rate Risk — The fund is subject to interest rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The value of bonds generally declines as interest rates rise. A fund may enter into futures contracts based on a bond index or a specific underlying security. A fund may purchase futures contracts to gain exposure to increases in market value or sell futures contracts to protect against a decline in market value. Upon entering into a futures contract, a fund will segregate cash, cash equivalents or other appropriate liquid securities on its records in amounts sufficient to meet requirements. Subsequent payments (variation margin) are made or received daily, in cash, by a fund. The variation margin is equal to the daily change in the contract value and is recorded as unrealized gains and losses. A fund recognizes a realized gain or loss when the futures contract is closed or expires. Net realized and unrealized gains or losses occurring during the holding period of futures contracts are a component of net realized gain (loss) on futures contract transactions and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on futures contracts, respectively. One of the risks of entering into futures contracts is the possibility that the change in value of the contract may not correlate with the changes in value of the underlying securities. The fund's average notional exposure to interest rate risk derivative instruments held during the period was $16,549,884 futures contracts purchased and $27,832,523 futures contracts sold.

(initial margin) with a financial intermediary in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the notional amount. Subsequent payments (variation margin) are made or received daily, in cash, by a fund. The variation margin is equal to the daily change in the value and is a component of unrealized gains and losses. Realized gain or loss is recorded upon receipt or payment of a periodic settlement or termination of swap agreements. Net realized and unrealized gains or losses occurring during the holding period of swap agreements are a component of net realized gain (loss) on swap agreement transactions and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on swap agreements, respectively. The risks of entering into swap agreements include the possible lack of liquidity, failure of the counterparty to meet its obligations, and that there may be unfavorable changes in the underlying investments or instruments, including inflationary risk. The fund's average notional amount held during the period was $20,437,500.

8. Risk Factors

The fund’s investment process may result in high portfolio turnover, which could mean high transaction costs, affecting both performance and capital gains tax liabilities to investors.

9. Federal Tax Information

The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021 were as follows:


	2022		2021
Distributions Paid From
Ordinary income	$	13,377,671	$	18,256,673
Long-term capital gains	$	4,732,245	$	377,490

As of period end, the federal tax cost of investments and the components of distributable earnings on a tax-basis were as follows:


Federal tax cost of investments	$	862,722,553
Gross tax appreciation of investments	$	4,139,162
Gross tax depreciation of investments	(22,761,667)
Net tax appreciation (depreciation) of investments	(18,622,505)
Net tax appreciation (depreciation) on derivatives	1,969,976
Net tax appreciation (depreciation)	$	(16,652,529)
Other book-to-tax adjustments	$	(489,536)
Undistributed ordinary income	—
Post-October capital loss deferral	$	(10,988,631)

The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales. Other book-to-tax adjustments are attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses on straddle positions.

Loss deferrals represent certain qualified losses that the fund has elected to treat as having been incurred in the following fiscal year for federal income tax purposes.

Portfolio Commentary

Portfolio Managers: Bob Gahagan, Jim Platz and Miguel Castillo

Brian Howell left the portfolio management team in August 2021, ahead of his December 2021 retirement from American Century Investments.

Performance Summary

Inflation-Adjusted Bond returned 4.89%* for the 12 months ended March 31, 2022. By comparison, the Bloomberg U.S. Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS) Index gained 4.29%. Fund returns reflect operating expenses, while index returns do not.

Performance reflects the positive backdrop for TIPS, as market-based inflation expectations steadily rose to record highs in March 2022. Real yields also increased for the period. TIPS generally advanced and sharply outperformed nominal Treasuries, which declined, for the 12-month period. The portfolio’s outperformance versus the all-TIPS index was largely due to a position in inflation swaps.

Inflation Surged to a 40-Year High

Inflation rose steadily and sharply during the 12-month period as economic data generally remained robust. The manufacturing sector continued to expand, and home prices posted solid double-digit annual gains. Additionally, the job market steadily improved, and wages climbed.

The annual headline inflation rate (Consumer Price Index, or CPI) began accelerating in early 2021. Along with the upbeat economic data, other factors quickly conspired to push consumer prices to multiyear highs. Massive government spending in response to the pandemic, along with the Federal Reserve’s (Fed’s) monetary support, helped fuel persistent consumer demand for goods and services. But providers couldn’t keep pace amid severe global supply chain breakdowns and labor market shortages. Meanwhile, surging energy prices also contributed to the rapidly rising inflation rate.

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in early 2022 further pressured inflation, sending already-high oil and other commodity prices even higher and further complicating supply chains. By March, annual headline CPI reached 8.5%, the highest level since December 1981, compared with 2.6% a year earlier.

The 10-year breakeven rate (the yield difference between nominal 10-year Treasuries and 10-year TIPS and a key measure of market-based inflation expectations) increased from 2.37% at the end of March 2021 to a record 2.95% in late March. It eased slightly to end the reporting period at 2.84%. Theoretically, the breakeven rate indicates the market’s expectations for inflation for the next 10 years and also reflects the inflation rate required for TIPS to outperform nominal Treasuries during that period (2.84% or higher as of March 31).

Fed Pivoted to Hawkish Policy

Soaring inflation eventually forced the Fed to alter course. Policymakers abandoned their transitory view toward rising prices and embarked on a tightening campaign in November. The Fed quickly

ended its bond-buying program in early March and then enacted its first rate increase since 2018. The 25-basis-points (bps) rate increase was smaller than some had hoped for, given the significant inflationary pressures weighing on the economy. However, Fed policymakers hinted 50-bps rate hikes and balance sheet cuts may be necessary going forward to tame inflation. The Fed’s policy pivot, along with expectations for more aggressive tightening, drove U.S. Treasury yields sharply higher.

Greater Sensitivity to Inflation Boosted Relative Results

Approximately 83% of the portfolio was invested in TIPS at the end of the reporting period. The remainder primarily included out-of-index allocations to securitized bonds and corporate bonds in conjunction with inflation swaps. Inflation swaps diversified the portfolio’s inflation protection and created an inflation overlay for non-inflation-linked securitized and corporate securities.

Inflation swaps are fixed-maturity instruments, negotiated through a counterparty (investment bank), that return the rate of inflation (CPI). All swaps bear counterparty credit risk, but American Century Investments applies stringent controls and oversight with regard to this risk. Overall, this strategy, combined with the portfolio’s TIPS, positioned the portfolio with greater sensitivity to inflation than the index. This strategy aided performance as current inflation and inflation expectations soared.

Yield Curve Positioning Added Value

Our yield curve strategy reflected a flattening bias, which aided results as shorter-maturity yields increased more than longer-maturity yields. Our shorter-than-index duration modestly contributed to relative performance.

Non-Index Holdings Detracted

Out-of-index exposure to securitized and corporate securities detracted from results, as rising yields and heightened volatility in the second half of the period pressured most bond returns.

Portfolio Positioning

We expect annual headline inflation to peak in the coming months as goods inflation subsides. But several factors, including supply chain disruptions, elevated commodity prices, record federal spending and deficits, rising wages and deglobalization, likely will keep inflation well above pre-pandemic levels. Given this backdrop, we still believe inflation-linked securities offer value.

Market volatility likely will remain elevated in the near term. Investors face a variety of uncertainties related to inflation’s trajectory, interest rates, global growth and the war in Ukraine. Until more clarity emerges, we have broadly reduced risk exposure among our non-index credit-sensitive securities. Nevertheless, we continue to look for attractive buying opportunities that often emerge during volatile periods.

Notes to Financial Statements

MARCH 31, 2022

1. Organization

American Century Government Income Trust (the trust) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company and is organized as a Massachusetts business trust. Inflation-Adjusted Bond Fund (the fund) is one fund in a series issued by the trust. The fund’s investment objective is to seek to provide total return and inflation protection consistent with investment in inflation-indexed securities.

The fund offers the Investor Class, I Class, Y Class, A Class, C Class, R Class, R5 Class, R6 Class and G Class. The A Class may incur an initial sales charge. The A Class and C Class may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

Investment Valuations — The fund determines the fair value of its investments and computes its net asset value (NAV) per share at the close of regular trading (usually 4 p.m. Eastern time) on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on each day the NYSE is open. The Board of Trustees has adopted valuation policies and procedures to guide the investment advisor in the fund’s investment valuation process and to provide methodologies for the oversight of the fund’s pricing function.

Fixed income securities are valued at the evaluated mean as provided by independent pricing services or at the mean of the most recent bid and asked prices as provided by investment dealers. Corporate bonds, U.S. Treasury and Government Agency securities, convertible bonds, municipal securities, and sovereign governments and agencies are valued using market models that consider trade data, quotations from dealers and active market makers, relevant yield curve and spread data, creditworthiness, trade data or market information on comparable securities, and other relevant security specific information. Mortgage-related and asset-backed securities are valued based on models that consider trade data, prepayment and default projections, benchmark yield and spread data and estimated cash flows of each tranche of the issuer. Collateralized loan obligations are valued based on discounted cash flow models that consider trade and economic data, prepayment assumptions and default projections. Commercial paper is valued using a curve-based approach that considers money market rates for specific instruments, programs, currencies and maturity points from a variety of active market makers. Fixed income securities initially expressed in local currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the mean of the appropriate currency exchange rate at the close of the NYSE as provided by an independent pricing service.

Open-end management investment companies are valued at the reported NAV per share. Repurchase agreements are valued at cost, which approximates fair value. Exchange-traded futures contracts are valued at the settlement price as provided by the appropriate exchange. Swap agreements are valued at an evaluated mean as provided by independent pricing services or independent brokers. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are valued at the mean of the appropriate forward exchange rate at the close of the NYSE as provided by an independent pricing service.

Foreign Currency Translations — All assets and liabilities initially expressed in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at prevailing exchange rates at period end. The fund may enter into spot foreign currency exchange contracts to facilitate transactions denominated in a foreign currency. Purchases and sales of investment securities, dividend and interest income, spot foreign currency exchange contracts, and expenses are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. Net realized and unrealized foreign currency exchange gains or losses related to investment securities are a component of net realized gain (loss) on investment transactions and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments, respectively.

Distributions to Shareholders — Distributions from net investment income, if any, are generally declared and paid quarterly, but may be paid less frequently. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are generally declared and paid annually. The fund may elect to treat a portion of its payment to a redeeming shareholder, which represents the pro rata share of undistributed net investment income and net realized gains, as a distribution for federal income tax purposes (tax equalization).

3. Fees and Transactions with Related Parties

The Investment Category Fee range, the Complex Fee range and the effective annual management fee for each class for the period ended March 31, 2022 are as follows:


	Investment Category Fee Range	Complex Fee Range	Effective Annual Management Fee

R6 Class		0.0000% to 0.0600%	0.20%
G Class		0.0000% to 0.0600%	0.00%(1)

7. Derivative Instruments

Foreign Currency Risk — The fund is subject to foreign currency exchange rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The value of foreign investments held by a fund may be significantly affected by changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The dollar value of a foreign security generally decreases when the value of the dollar rises against the foreign currency in which the security is denominated and tends to increase when the value of the dollar declines against such foreign currency. A fund may enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts to reduce a fund's exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations or to gain exposure to the fluctuations in the value of foreign currencies. The net U.S. dollar value of foreign currency underlying all contractual commitments held by a fund and the resulting unrealized appreciation or depreciation are determined daily. Realized gain or loss is recorded upon settlement of the contract. Net realized and unrealized gains or losses occurring during the holding period of forward foreign currency exchange contracts are a component of net realized gain (loss) on forward foreign currency exchange contract transactions and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on forward foreign currency exchange contracts, respectively. A fund bears the risk of an unfavorable change in the foreign currency exchange rate underlying the forward contract. Additionally, losses, up to the fair value, may arise if the counterparties do not perform under the contract terms. The fund's average U.S. dollar exposure to foreign currency risk derivative instruments held during the period was $91,104,772.

Interest Rate Risk — The fund is subject to interest rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The value of bonds generally declines as interest rates rise. A fund may enter into futures contracts based on a bond index or a specific underlying security. A fund may purchase futures contracts to gain exposure to increases in market value or sell futures contracts to protect against a decline in market value. Upon entering into a futures contract, a fund will segregate cash, cash equivalents or other appropriate liquid securities on its records in amounts sufficient to meet requirements. Subsequent payments (variation margin) are made or received daily, in cash, by a fund. The variation margin is equal to the daily change in the contract value and is recorded as unrealized gains and losses. A fund recognizes a realized gain or loss when the futures contract is closed or expires. Net realized and unrealized gains or losses occurring during the holding period of futures contracts are a component of net realized gain (loss) on futures contract transactions and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on futures contracts, respectively. One of the risks of entering into futures contracts is the possibility that the change in value of the contract may not correlate with the changes in value of the underlying securities. The fund's average notional exposure to interest rate risk derivative instruments held during the period was $142,454,512 futures contracts purchased and $62,019,896 futures contracts sold.

Other Contracts — A fund may enter into total return swap agreements in order to attempt to obtain or preserve a particular return or spread at a lower cost than obtaining a return or spread through purchases and/or sales of instruments in other markets or gain exposure to certain markets in the most economical way possible. A fund will segregate cash, cash equivalents or other appropriate liquid securities on its records in amounts sufficient to meet requirements. Changes in value, including the periodic amounts of interest to be paid or received on swap agreements, are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on swap agreements. Upon entering into a centrally cleared swap, a fund is required to deposit cash or securities (initial margin) with a financial intermediary in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the notional amount. Subsequent payments (variation margin) are made or received daily, in cash, by a fund. The variation margin is equal to the daily change in the value and is a component of unrealized gains and losses. Realized gain or loss is recorded upon receipt or payment of a periodic settlement or termination of swap agreements. Net realized and unrealized gains or losses occurring during the holding period of swap agreements are a component of net realized gain (loss) on swap agreement transactions and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on swap agreements, respectively. The risks of entering into swap agreements include the possible lack of liquidity, failure of the counterparty to meet its obligations, and that there may be unfavorable changes in the underlying investments or instruments, including inflationary risk. The fund's average notional amount held during the period was $728,500,000.

8. Risk Factors

9. Federal Tax Information

The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021 were as follows:


	2022		2021
Distributions Paid From
Ordinary income	$	165,524,876	$	35,830,854
Long-term capital gains	—		—

As of period end, the federal tax cost of investments and the components of distributable earnings on a tax-basis were as follows:


Federal tax cost of investments	$	3,421,137,579
Gross tax appreciation of investments	$	163,961,103
Gross tax depreciation of investments	(48,388,756)
Net tax appreciation (depreciation) of investments	115,572,347
Net tax appreciation (depreciation) on derivatives and translation of assets and liabilities in foreign currencies	80,327,878
Net tax appreciation (depreciation)	$	195,900,225
Other book-to-tax adjustments	$	(5,340,992)
Undistributed ordinary income	$	65,101,089
Accumulated short-term capital losses	$	(1,006,228)

The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is attributable primarily to the realization for tax purposes of unrealized gains (losses) on futures contracts. Other book-to-tax adjustments are attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses on straddle positions.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Shareholders and the Board of Trustees of American Century Government Income Trust:

Opinion on the Financial Statements and Financial Highlights

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of Inflation-Adjusted Bond Fund (the “Fund”), one of the funds constituting the American Century Government Income Trust, as of March 31, 2022, the related statement of operations, statement of changes in net assets, and financial highlights for the year then ended, and the related notes. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Inflation-Adjusted Bond Fund of the American Century Government Income Trust as of March 31, 2022, and the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets, and the financial highlights for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The statement of changes in net assets for the year ended March 31, 2021 and the financial highlights for each of the four years in the period ended March 31, 2021 were audited by other auditors, whose report, dated May 18, 2021, expressed an unqualified opinion on such statement of changes in net assets and financial highlights.

Portfolio Commentary

Portfolio Managers: Bob Gahagan, Peter Van Gelderen, Dan Shiffman and Jim Platz

Performance Summary

Short-Term Government returned -2.61%* for the 12 months ended March 31, 2022. By comparison, the Bloomberg U.S. 1-3 Year Government Bond Index returned -3.03%. Fund returns reflect operating expenses, while index returns do not.

Resurgent waves of COVID-19 cases and, in the period’s final weeks, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine contributed to significant rate volatility during the period. After starting the reporting period at 1.75%, the 10-year Treasury yield ended March 2022 at 2.34%, fueled by an 83-basis-point jump in the first quarter of 2022. More closely tied to the Fed’s key rate, the two-year Treasury yield jumped from 0.16% at the start of the period to 2.34%, including a 161-basis-point surge during the first quarter of 2022. The Treasury yield curve significantly flattened during the period, reflecting a larger rise in short-maturity yields than in long-maturity yields.

Inflation-Linked Securities, Duration Aided Relative Returns

Security Selection Diminished Performance

Security selection modestly detracted from returns. Specifically, investments in nominal Treasuries and other government bonds weighed on results.

Portfolio Positioning

The Fed faces a formidable task in tempering inflation without triggering a recession. Anticipating further Fed tightening and elevated inflation, we believe bond market yields may yet climb modestly higher, so we ended the period maintaining our short-duration strategy. An inverted yield curve remains a possibility, but we don’t think a recession is imminent, largely due to relatively strong economic fundamentals.

Notes to Financial Statements

MARCH 31, 2022

1. Organization

American Century Government Income Trust (the trust) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company and is organized as a Massachusetts business trust. Short-Term Government Fund (the fund) is one fund in a series issued by the trust. The fund’s investment objective is to seek high current income while maintaining safety of principal.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

Investment Valuations — The fund determines the fair value of its investments and computes its net asset value (NAV) per share at the close of regular trading (usually 4 p.m. Eastern time) on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on each day the NYSE is open. The Board of Trustees has adopted valuation policies and procedures to guide the investment advisor in the fund’s investment valuation process and to provide methodologies for the oversight of the fund’s pricing function.

Fixed income securities are valued at the evaluated mean as provided by independent pricing services or at the mean of the most recent bid and asked prices as provided by investment dealers. U.S. Treasury, Government Agency and municipal securities are valued using market models that consider trade data, quotations from dealers and active market makers, relevant yield curve and spread data, creditworthiness, trade data or market information on comparable securities, and other relevant security specific information. Mortgage-related and asset-backed securities are valued based on models that consider trade data, prepayment and default projections, benchmark yield and spread data and estimated cash flows of each tranche of the issuer.

3. Fees and Transactions with Related Parties

The Investment Category Fee range, the Complex Fee range and the effective annual management fee for each class for the period ended March 31, 2022 are as follows:

7. Derivative Instruments

Interest Rate Risk — The fund is subject to interest rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The value of bonds generally declines as interest rates rise. A fund may enter into futures contracts based on a bond index or a specific underlying security. A fund may purchase futures contracts to gain exposure to increases in market value or sell futures contracts to protect against a decline in market value. Upon entering into a futures contract, a fund will segregate cash, cash equivalents or other appropriate liquid securities on its records in amounts sufficient to meet requirements. Subsequent payments (variation margin) are made or received daily, in cash, by a fund. The variation margin is equal to the daily change in the contract value and is recorded as unrealized gains and losses. A fund recognizes a realized gain or loss when the futures contract is closed or expires. Net realized and unrealized gains or losses occurring during the holding period of futures contracts are a component of net realized gain (loss) on futures contract transactions and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on futures contracts, respectively. One of the risks of entering into futures contracts is the possibility that the change in value of the contract may not correlate with the changes in value of the underlying securities. The fund's average notional exposure to interest rate risk derivative instruments held during the period was $5,751,290 futures contracts purchased and $12,088,863 futures contracts sold.

Opinion on the Financial Statements and Financial Highlights

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of Short-Term Government Fund (the “Fund”), one of the funds constituting the American Century Government Income Trust, as of March 31, 2022, the related statement of operations, statement of changes in net assets, and financial highlights for the year then ended, and the related notes. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Short-Term Government Fund of the American Century Government Income Trust as of March 31, 2022, and the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets, and the financial highlights for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The statement of changes in net assets for the year ended March 31, 2021 and the financial highlights for each of the four years in the period ended March 31, 2021 were audited by other auditors, whose report, dated May 18, 2021, expressed an unqualified opinion on such statement of changes in net assets and financial highlights.
