Morning Schmooze - March 9, 2011

Join us at American Century Investments

for a morning of coffee and conversation

Back in 1958, entrepreneur James Stowers Jr. launched a mutual fund firm called Twentieth Century Investments. Starting out with just 24 shareholders, four employees and only $100,000 in assets, the company – now known as American Century Investments – has become one of the largest money managers in the country, boasting more than $105 billion in assets.

A leading, privately controlled investment manager, the company serves individuals, intermediaries and institutions.  Since its founding in 1958, the company has been committed to delivering superior investment performance through active, team-based portfolio management. Beneficiaries of the firm’s expertise include corporate retirement plans, investment advisors, banks, broker-dealers, international clients, insurance companies, self-employed individuals, not-for-profit organizations, endowments and foundations.

Enjoy a cup of coffee with your fellow Chamber members on March 9 and peruse the American Century Investments Story Gallery, which was built to commemorate the company’s 50th anniversary. The gallery is designed for clients, employees and visitors to experience the rich history and inspiring story of American Century Investments from 1958 to today.

There is free underground parking available, just in case March winds or early April showers blow in that morning.
