Company Overview
Founded in 1958, this company prides itself on its use of technology almost as much as it does its financial results. For instance, the company was an early adopter of computers and online accounts. In 1995, it merged with The Benham Group, increasing the size and diversity of its mutual funds.Until the merger, the company was known almost exclusively for higher-risk funds. Since the merger, it has included more conservative, fixed-income bond funds. The founder and his family still own over half the company. The company uses three names: Benham, American Century, and a former name, Twentieth Century.
