QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Q. WHEN WILL THE SPECIAL MEETING BE HELD? WHO CAN VOTE?
A. The special meeting will be held on Wednesday, June 27, 2007, at 10:00
a.m. Central Time at American Century's office at 4500 Main Street, Kansas
City, Missouri. Please note, this will be a business meeting only. No
presentations about the funds are planned. If you owned shares of one of
the impacted funds at the close of business on April 13, 2007, you are
entitled to vote, even if you later sold the shares. Each shareholder is
entitled to one vote per dollar of shares owned, with fractional dollars
voting proportionally.
Q. WHO ARE THE NINE NOMINEES?
A. The nine Nominees include seven current members of the Boards of
Directors (the "Boards"), James E. Stowers, Jr., Thomas A. Brown, Andrea C.
Hall, Donald H. Pratt, Gale E. Sayers, M. Jeannine Strandjord, and Timothy
S. Webster; an advisory member to the Boards, James A. Olson; and the
current President and Chief Executive Officer of American Century
Companies, Inc., and an advisory member to the Boards, Jonathan S. Thomas.
Q. WHAT IS THE PROPOSED CHANGE TO THE ADVISOR CLASS FEE STRUCTURE?
A. If approved, the change in the Advisor Class fee structure will result
in:
* A decrease of 25 basis points (0.25%) in the Rule 12b-1 fee charged
by the Advisor Class of the Advisor Funds; and
* A simultaneous increase of 25 basis points in the unified management fee
for the Advisor Class of the Advisor Funds, resulting in no change to
the total expense ratio.
The decrease in the Rule 12b-1 fee and corresponding increase in the
unified management fee are designed to move the fee for the provision
of certain recordkeeping/administrative services from the Rule 12b-1 fee
to the unified management fee. This modification will make the fee
structure of the Advisor Class shares of the Advisor Funds more consistent
with the other share classes of the American Century Funds.
- ------
2
Q. HOW WILL THE CHANGE TO THE ADVISOR CLASS FEE STRUCTURE AFFECT MY
INVESTMENTS IN THE FUNDS?
A. If approved, neither your investment nor your total expense ratio will
change. As stated above, if approved, the proposal will result in the
Advisor Class having a 25 basis point decrease in the Rule 12b-1 fee and a
simultaneous 25 basis point increase in the unified management fee,
resulting in no change to the Advisor Class's total expense ratio.
Q. WILL THE CHANGE TO THE ADVISOR CLASS FEE STRUCTURE CAUSE ME TO PAY ANY
SALES CHARGES?
A. No. If the Advisor Class fee change is approved, it is anticipated
that a front-end sales charge (load) will be added to the Advisor Class
shares of Equity Income, Large Company Value, Real Estate, Value, Heritage,
Select, Ultra, Strategic Allocation: Conservative, Strategic Allocation:
Moderate, Strategic Allocation: Aggressive, Emerging Markets, Global Growth
and International Growth. However, it will not apply to Advisor Class
shares held at the time of the change or subsequently purchased in the
same accounts.
Q. WHAT IS THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO THE INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE OF REAL
ESTATE?
A. Currently, the investment objective of Real Estate states that "The
fund seeks long-term capital appreciation. Income is a secondary
objective." The Board of Directors has proposed to amend the investment
objective to state that "The fund seeks high total investment return
through a combination of capital appreciation and current income." If
approved, the amended investment objective will not identify capital
appreciation as "primary" and income as "secondary" objectives of the Fund.
Rather, the investment objective of the Fund will be to seek both capital
appreciation and production of income while not emphasizing one over the
other.
Q. HOW WILL THE AMENDMENT TO THE INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE OF REAL ESTATE
AFFECT MY INVESTMENT IN REAL ESTATE?
A. If the proposal is approved, Real Estate will continue its subadvisory
relationship with J.P. Morgan Investment Management, Inc. (the
"Subadvisor"). The Subadvisor does not expect the change in the investment
objective to affect its investment strategy for the day-to-day management
of the Fund or change the risk factors applicable to the Fund.
Q. WHY IS THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS PROPOSING A NEW SUBADVISORY AGREEMENT
BETWEEN NORTHERN TRUST INVESTMENTS, N.A. AND THE ADVISOR WITH RESPECT TO
EQUITY INDEX?
A. The Board of Directors of Equity Index is proposing a subadvisory
agreement with Northern Trust Investments, N.A. to replace the current
subadvisory agreement with Barclay's Global Fund Advisers ("Barclays").
Barclays recently informed the Advisor that, in light of Barclays' current
business model, Barclays is not interested in continuing to provide
subadvisory services to Equity Index.
Q. HOW DO THE BOARDS OF EACH FUND RECOMMEND THAT I VOTE?
A. The Boards, including all of the Independent Directors, unanimously
recommend you vote FOR all of the proposals. For a discussion of the
factors the Boards considered in approving these proposals, see the
accompanying materials.
Q. MY HOLDINGS IN THE FUNDS ARE SMALL, WHY SHOULD I VOTE?
A. Your vote makes a difference. If many shareholders do not vote their
proxies, your fund may not receive enough votes to go forward with its
special meeting. This means additional costs will be incurred to solicit
votes to determine the outcome of the proposals.
Q. WHAT HAPPENS IF ANY ONE OF THE PROPOSALS IS NOT APPROVED BY
SHAREHOLDERS?
A. Each proposal is separate and is not dependent upon the approval of
any other proposal. However, if a proposal relating to the change in the
Advisor Class fee structure does not receive shareholder approval with
respect to one or more Advisor Funds, then American Century may elect not
to proceed with the change for any of the Advisor Funds.
Q. WHY ARE MULTIPLE PROXY CARDS ENCLOSED?
A. You will receive a proxy card for each of the funds in which you are a
shareholder. In addition, if you own shares of the same fund in multiple
accounts that are titled differently, you will receive a proxy card for
each account.
Q. HOW DO I CAST MY VOTE?
A. You may vote online, by phone, by mail, by fax or in person at the
special meeting. To vote online, access the Web site listed on a proxy
card. To vote by telephone, call the toll-free number listed on a proxy
card. To vote online or by telephone, you will need the number that appears
in the gray box on each of your proxy cards. To vote by mail, complete,

Shareholders of record on the Record Date are entitled to notice of and to

Proposal 1. Holders of Advisor Class shares of each of the Advisor Funds will
vote separately on Proposal 2. Shareholders of Real Estate will vote on
Proposal 3 and shareholders of Equity Index will vote on Proposal 4.
NOTE APPLICABLE ONLY TO AMERICAN CENTURY VARIABLE PORTFOLIOS, INC.:
Shares of VP Balanced, VP Capital Appreciation, VP Global Growth, VP Growth,
VP Income & Growth, VP International, VP Large Company Value, VP Mid Cap Value,
VP Ultra, VP Value and VP Vista, all series of American Century Variable
Portfolios, Inc., are sold only to separate accounts of certain insurance
companies in connection with the issuance of variable annuity contracts and/or
variable life insurance contracts by the insurance companies. With respect to
Proposal 1, to elect nine directors of American Century Variable Portfolios,
Inc., insurance company separate accounts, as shareholders of a Fund, will
request voting instructions from the owners of variable life insurance policies
and variable annuity contracts ("Variable
- ------
7
Contract Owners") of the separate accounts, and will vote the accounts' shares
in the Fund in accordance with the voting instructions received. Each separate
account is required to vote its share of a Fund in accordance with instructions
received from Variable Contract Owners. Each separate account will vote shares
of a Fund held in each of its respective variable accounts for which no voting
instructions have been received in the same proportion as the separate account
votes shares held by variable accounts for which it has received instructions.
Shares held by an insurance company in its general account, if any, must be
voted in the same proportions as the votes cast with respect to shares held in
all of the insurance company's variable accounts in the aggregate. Such
proportional voting may result in a relatively small number of Variable Contract
Owners determining the outcome of the proposal. Proposal 1 is the only proposal
described in this Proxy Statement that relates to American Century Variable
Portfolios, Inc.
The Boards recommend that you vote "FOR" each Proposal.
PROPOSAL 1
ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
OVERVIEW AND RELATED INFORMATION
Each of the following seven (7) individuals currently serves on the Boards:
James E. Stowers, Jr., Thomas A. Brown, Andrea C. Hall, Donald H. Pratt, Gale E.
Sayers, M. Jeannine Strandjord, and Timothy S. Webster. Additionally, James A.
Olson and Jonathan S. Thomas currently serve as advisory members to the Boards.
The current nominating members of the Boards have nominated the seven Directors
listed above, along with Mr. Olson and Mr. Thomas, for election to the Boards.
Hereafter the seven (7) current members of the Boards, along with Mr. Olson and
Mr. Thomas, will be referred to as the "Directors" or the "Nominees." It is
being proposed that the shareholders of each Issuer approve the Nominees. If
approved by the shareholders, each Nominee will serve indefinitely as a Director
of each Board until his or her death, retirement, resignation or removal from
office. The mandatory retirement age for Directors who are not "interested
persons" as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended (the "1940 Act") is 72. However, the mandatory retirement age may be
extended for a period not to exceed two years with the approval of the remaining
Independent Directors. Each Director currently oversees 66 Funds, which are all
series of the Issuers. Mr. Thomas oversees an additional 43 funds as an
advisory board member for other American Century Funds.
Further information regarding each of the Nominees is listed below. James E.
Stowers, Jr. and Jonathan S. Thomas are the only Nominees who are "interested
persons" as that term is defined in the 1940 Act because Mr. Stowers currently
serves as Co-Chairman and Mr. Thomas serves as President and Chief Executive
Officer, of American Century Companies, Inc. The remaining Nominees are not
"interested persons" under the 1940 Act and therefore will be referred to as
"Independent Directors." The persons named as proxies on the enclosed proxy
card(s) will vote for the election of all of the Nominees unless authority to
vote for any or all of the Nominees is withheld.
All of the Nominees have consented to serve as directors, if elected. In case
a Nominee shall be unable or shall fail to act as a director by virtue of an
unexpected occurrence, persons named as proxies will vote in their discretion
for such other nominee or nominees as the current Directors may recommend.
INFORMATION REGARDING THE NOMINEES
The following table presents certain information about the Nominees. The
mailing address for each Nominee is 4500 Main Street, Kansas City,
Missouri 64111.

* JAMES E. STOWERS, JR. IS AN "INTERESTED" DIRECTOR OF THE ISSUERS FOR PURPOSES
OF THE 1940 ACT AS HE IS CO-CHAIRMAN OF AMERICAN CENTURY COMPANIES, INC.
**JONATHAN S. THOMAS WOULD BE AN "INTERESTED" DIRECTOR OF THE ISSUERS FOR
PURPOSES OF THE 1940 ACT AS HE IS PRESIDENT AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER OF
AMERICAN CENTURY COMPANIES, INC.
RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE BOARDS
The Boards oversee the management of the Issuers and the Funds and meet at
least quarterly to review reports about Fund operations. Although the Boards do
not manage the Funds, they have hired American Century Investment Management,
Inc., or an affiliated company (the "Advisor"), to do so. The Boards, in
carrying out their fiduciary duty under the 1940 Act, are responsible for
approving new and existing management contracts with the Advisor.
The Boards have the authority to manage the business of the Issuers on behalf
of their investors, and they have all powers necessary or convenient to carry
out that responsibility. Consequently, the Boards may adopt bylaws providing for
the regulation and management of the affairs of the Issuers and may amend and
repeal them to the extent that such bylaws do not reserve that right to the
Issuers' investors. They may fill vacancies in or reduce the number of Board
members, and may elect and remove such officers and appoint and terminate such
agents as they consider appropriate. They may appoint from their own number and
establish and terminate one or more committees consisting of two or more
directors who may exercise the powers and authority of the Boards to the extent
that the directors determine. They may, in general, delegate such authority as
they consider desirable to any officer of the Issuers, to any committee of the
Boards and to any agent or employee of the Issuers or to any custodian, transfer
or investor servicing agent, or principal underwriter. Any determination as to
what is in the interests of the Issuers made by the directors in good faith
shall be conclusive. The Boards met nine times in 2006. Each Director then in
office attended at least 75% of the aggregate of the total number of meetings
of the Boards and the total number of meetings held by all committeees of the
Boards on which the Director served. The Issuers do not have a policy that
requires directors to attend annual meetings of shareholders.
The Boards have a process for shareholders to send communications to the
Boards. To communicate with the Boards, or a member of the Boards, a
shareholder should send a written communication addressed to the attention
of the corporate secretary (the "Corporate Secretary") at American Century
Funds, P.O. Box 418210, Kansas City, Missouri 64141-9210. Shareholders who
prefer to communicate by email may send their comments to
corporatesecretary@americancentury.com. The Corporate Secretary will forward
all such communications to each member of the Compliance and Shareholder
Communications Committee, or if applicable, the individual director(s) and/or
committee chair named in the correspondence. However, if a shareholder
communication is addressed exclusively to the Fund's independent directors,
the Corporate Secretary will forward the communication to the Compliance and
Shareholder Communications Committee chair, who will determine the appropriate
action to take.
STANDING BOARD COMMITTEES
Each Board has five standing committees which oversee specific functions of
the Issuer's operations. The Executive Committee performs the functions of the
Board between board meetings, subject to the limitations on its power set out
in the Maryland General Corporation Law and except for matters requiring the
action of the entire Board under the 1940 Act. The Executive Committee currently
consists of Donald H. Pratt and M. Jeannine Strandjord. The Executive Committee
did not meet in 2006.
Each Board has an Audit Committee, which approves the Issuer's engagement of
the independent registered public accounting firm and recommends approval of
such engagement to the Independent Directors. The Audit Committee also oversees
the activities of the accounting firm and receives reports from the Advisor's
internal audit department. The Audit Committee currently consists of Thomas A.
Brown, Donald H. Pratt and Gale E. Sayers. The Audit Committee met four times in
2006.
Each Board has a Governance Committee which is responsible for reviewing Board
procedures and committee structures. The Governance Committee also considers and
recommends individuals for nomination as directors, and may recommend the
creation of new committees. The names of potential director candidates may be
drawn from a number of sources, including recommendations from members of the
Board, management (in the case of Interested Directors only) and shareholders.
Shareholders may submit director nominations at any time to the Corporate
Secretary, American Century Funds, P.O. Box 418210, Kansas City, MO 64141-9210.
When submitting nominations, shareholders should include the name, age and
address of the candidate, as well as a detailed resume of the candidate's
qualifications and a signed statement from the candidate of his/her
- ------
10
willingness to serve on the Boards. Shareholders submitting nominations should
also include information concerning the number of Fund shares and length of time
held by the shareholder, and if applicable, similar information for the
potential candidate. All nominations submitted by shareholders will be forwarded
to the chair of the Governance Committee for consideration. The Corporate
Secretary will maintain copies of such materials for future reference by the
committee when filling Board positions.
In considering a candidate's qualifications, the Governance Committee will
consider, at a minimum, the candidate's ethics, expertise, and training or
experience at senior policy-making levels in business, government, education,
accounting, law and/or administration. Additionally, all candidates must
demonstrate an ability and willingness to make the time commitment necessary to
serve as an effective director. If a vacancy arises or the Boards decide to
expand their membership, the Governance Committee requests that each independent
director submit a list of potential candidates for consideration. The Governance
Committee then evaluates each candidate's educational background, employment
history, and outside commitments, and other relevant factors to determine
whether he/she is potentially qualified. At that time the Governance Committee
will also consider potential candidates submitted by shareholders in accordance
with the procedures described above. If this process yields more than one
desirable candidate, the Governance Committee will rank them by order of
preference depending on their qualifications and the Funds' needs. The
candidate(s) will then be contacted to evaluate their interest and will be
interviewed by the full committee. Based upon interview results and any
appropriate background checks, the Governance Committee will decide whether to
recommend a candidate's nomination to the Boards.
The Governance Committee also may recommend the creation of new committees,
evaluate the membership structure of new and existing committees, consider the
frequency and duration of Board and committee meetings and otherwise evaluate
the responsibilities, processes, resources, performance and compensation of the
Boards. The Governance Committee currently consists of Donald H. Pratt, Andrea
C. Hall, and Gale E. Sayers. The Governance Committee met one time in 2006. The
Governance Committee operates pursuant to a written charter, which is included
as Exhibit E.
Each Board also has a Compliance and Shareholder Communications Committee,
which reviews the results of the Funds' compliance testing program, reviews
shareholder communications and reviews quarterly reports from a communications
advisor. The quarterly reports from the communications advisor address various
compliance matters and monitor the implementation of the Funds' code of ethics.
The Compliance and Shareholder Communications Committee currently consists of
Andrea C. Hall, James A. Olson and M. Jeannine Strandjord. The Compliance and
Shareholder Communications Committee met four times in 2006.
Finally, the Fund Performance Review Committee meets quarterly to review the
investment activities and strategies used to manage fund assets. The committee
regularly receives reports from portfolio managers, credit analysts and other
investment personnel concerning the Funds' investments. The Portfolio Committee
currently consists of Timothy S. Webster, Thomas A. Brown, Andrea C. Hall, James
A. Olson, Donald H. Pratt, Gale E. Sayers, and M. Jeannine Strandjord. The Fund
Performance Review Committee met four times in 2006.
BOARD COMPENSATION
Each Independent Director receives compensation for service as a member of
The Boards based on a schedule that takes into account the number of meetings
attended and the assets of the Funds for which the meetings are held. These fees
and expenses are allocated to the Issuers based in part on their relative net
assets. Under the terms of each management agreement with the Advisor, the Funds
are responsible for paying such fees and expenses. For each Issuer's last fiscal
year, each Issuer and the American Century family of funds paid the following
amounts to the Independent Directors:

The Issuers have adopted the American Century Mutual Funds' Independent
Directors' Deferred Compensation Plan. Under the plan, the Independent Directors
may defer receipt of all or any part of the fees to be paid to them for serving
as Directors of the Funds.
All deferred fees are credited to an account established in the name of the
directors. The amounts credited to the account then increase or decrease, as the
case may be, in accordance with the performance of one or more of the American
Century Funds that are selected by the director. The account balance continues
to fluctuate in accordance with the performance of the selected Fund or Funds
until final payment of all amounts credited to the account. Directors are
allowed to change their designation of Funds from time to time.
No deferred fees are payable until such time as a director resigns, retires or
otherwise ceases to be a member of the Board. Directors may receive deferred fee
account balances either in a lump sum payment or in substantially equal
installment payments to be made over a period not to exceed 10 years. Upon the
death of a director, all remaining deferred fee account balances are paid to the
director's beneficiary or, if none, to the director's estate.
The plan is an unfunded plan and, accordingly, the Funds have no obligation to
segregate assets to secure or fund the deferred fees. To date, the Funds have
voluntarily funded their obligations. The rights of directors to receive their
deferred fee account balances are the same as the rights of a general unsecured
creditor of the Funds. The plan may be terminated at any time by the
administrative committee of the plan. If terminated, all deferred fee account
balances will be paid in a lump sum.
Exhibit A to this Proxy Statement shows the dollar range the Nominees
beneficially owned as of December 31, 2006 in the equity securities of any of
the Funds, and, on an aggregate basis, equity securities of all of the Issuers.
On December 23, 1999, American Century Services, LLC (ACS), an affiliate of
the Advisor entered into an agreement with DST Systems, Inc. (DST) under which
DST would provide back office software and support services for transfer agency
services provided by ACS (the "Agreement"). ACS pays DST fees based in part on
the number of accounts and the number and type of transactions processed for
those accounts. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2006, DST received
$22,142,003 in fees from ACS. DST's revenue for the calendar year ended December
31, 2006, was approximately $2.24 billion.
Ms. Strandjord is a director of DST and a holder of 35,383 shares and
possesses options to acquire an additional 55,875 shares of DST common stock,
the sum of which is less than one percent (1%) of the shares outstanding.
Because of her official duties as a director of DST, she may be deemed to have
an "indirect interest" in the Agreement. However, the Boards were not required
to nor did they approve or disapprove the Agreement, since the provision of
the services covered by the Agreement is within the discretion of ACS. DST was
chosen by ACS for its industry-leading role in providing cost-effective back
office support for mutual fund service providers such as ACS. DST is the
largest mutual fund transfer agent, servicing more than 75 million mutual fund
accounts on its shareholder recordkeeping system. Ms. Strandjord's role as a
director of DST was not considered by ACS; she was not involved in any way with
the negotiations between ACS and DST; and her status as a director of either
DST or the Funds was not a factor in the negotiations. The Boards and counsel
to the Independent Directors of the Funds have concluded that the existence of
this Agreement does not impair Ms. Strandjord's ability to serve as an
independent director under the 1940 Act.
BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP OF AFFILIATES BY PROPOSED INDEPENDENT DIRECTORS
No Independent Director or his or her immediate family members beneficially
owned shares of the Advisor, the Issuers' principal underwriter or any other
person directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by, or under common
control with the Advisor or the Issuers' principal underwriter as of December
31, 2006.
OFFICERS
The following table presents certain information about the executive officers
of the Issuers. Each officer serves as an officer for each of the 15 investment
companies in the American Century family of funds, unless otherwise noted. No
officer is compensated for his or her service as an officer of the Funds. The
listed officers are interested persons of the Funds and are appointed or
re-appointed on an annual basis. The mailing address for each of the officers
listed below is 4500 Main Street, Kansas City, Missouri 64111.

(a) Audit Fees
These fees relate to professional services rendered by the Deloitte Entities
for the audits of the Funds' annual financial statements or services normally

tax provision procedures and assistance with review of documents filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.
(b) Audit Related Fees
These fees relate to assurance and related services by the Deloitte Entities
in connection with semi-annual financial statements.
(c) Tax Fees
These fees relate to professional services rendered by the Deloitte Entities
for tax compliance, tax advice, and tax planning. These services relate to the
review of the Funds' federal and state income tax returns, review of excise tax
calculations and returns, and a review of the Funds' calculations of capital
gains and income distributions.
(d) All Other Fees
These fees relate to products and services provided by the Deloitte Entities
other than those reported under "Audit Fees," "Audit-Related Fees," and "Tax
Fees."
AUDIT COMMITTEE PRE-APPROVAL POLICIES AND PROCEDURES
The Audit Committee approves the engagement of the accountant prior to the
accountant rendering any audit or non-audit services to the Issuers. The
aggregate non-audit fees billed by the Deloitte Entities for services rendered
to the Advisor and service affiliates for the years ended December 31, 2005 and
December 31, 2006 were $223,787 and $108,186, respectively.
The Audit Committee considered and concluded that the provision non-audit
services to the Advisor and its affiliates that did not require pre-approval is
compatible with maintaining Deloitte's independence.

SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL
Proposal 1, the election of the Directors, must be approved by a plurality of
the votes cast in person or by proxy at the Meeting at which a quorum exists.
The shareholders of each Issuer will vote separately for the election of
Directors. The shareholders of each Issuer will vote together as a single class
and the voting power of the shares of each Fund that is a series of an Issuer
will be counted together in determining the results of the voting for
Proposal 1.
THE BOARDS RECOMMEND THAT THE SHAREHOLDERS VOTE TO ELECT EACH OF THE NOMINEES.
PROPOSAL 2
APPROVAL OF A CHANGE IN THE FEE STRUCTURE OF THE ADVISOR CLASS SHARES OF THE
ADVISOR FUNDS
OVERVIEW AND RELATED INFORMATION
On November 29, 2006 and March 7, 2007, the Boards approved a decrease of 25
basis points (0.25%) in the Rule 12b-1 fee charged by the Advisor Class of the
Advisor Funds while simultaneously approving, subject to shareholder approval,
an increase of 25 basis points in the unified management fee for the Advisor
Class of the Advisor Funds, resulting in no change to the total expense ratios.
The decrease in the Rule 12b-1 fee and corresponding increase in the unified
management fee are designed to move the fee for the provision of certain
recordkeeping/administrative services from the Rule 12b-1 fee to the unified
management fee. The recordkeeping/administrative services, which include the
provision of recordkeeping and related services that would otherwise be
performed by the Funds' transfer agent, may be performed by financial
intermediaries or by the Advisor or its affiliates. In circumstances in which
the recordkeeping/administrative services are performed by financial
intermediaries, the Advisor will pay such intermediaries all or part of the
recordkeeping/administrative fee for performing the services. The
recordkeeping/administrative services, which will not change, do not encompass
distribution-related services. This modification will make the fee structure of
the Advisor Class shares of the Advisor Funds more consistent with the other
share classes of the American Century Funds. Any reimbursement paid to financial
intermediaries for the provision of recordkeeping/administrative services will
now be paid out of the unified management fee received by the Advisor and not
the Rule 12b-1 fee.
CONSEQUENCES OF APPROVAL OF THE CHANGE IN FEE STRUCTURE
The proposed 25 basis point increase in the unified management fee is not
expected to have any effect on the total expense ratio of the Advisor Class
shares of the Advisor Funds. As previously noted, the 25 basis point increase in
the unified management fee will be offset by a corresponding decrease of 25
basis points in the Rule 12b-1 fee. If shareholders do not approve the increase
in the unified management fee, then the recordkeeping/administrative services
fee will continue to be paid out of the Rule 12b-1 fee and the proposed decrease
in the Rule 12b-1 fee will not take effect. If approved by shareholders, the
current advisory contracts of the Advisor Funds will be amended to reflect the
25 basis point increase in the unified management fee. Hereafter, the amended
contracts shall be referred to as the "New Advisory Agreements." If this
Proposal is not approved by one or more of the Advisor Classes of the Advisor
Funds, then American Century may elect not to proceed with the Proposal with
respect to some or all of the Advisor Funds.
This Proposal is part of a larger set of initiatives designed to streamline
American Century's mutual fund offerings and better align them with investor
buying preferences and market opportunities. As part of this larger set of
initiatives, the Boards recently approved a proposal to reclassify the Advisor
Class shares of Balanced, Life Sciences, and Technology as Investor Class shares
of the same Funds. Advisor Class shareholders of these Funds will receive a
separate proxy statement/prospectus describing this proposal in detail and will
have an opportunity to vote on it. If approved by the Advisor Class shareholders
of these three Funds, Advisor Class shares would cease to exist; the Change in
Fee Structure Proposal contained in this Proxy Statement would become moot;
and therefore, even if approved, the Change In Fee Structure Proposal would not
take effect for Balanced, Life Sciences and Technology.
Also as part of this larger set of initiatives, the Boards recently approved a
proposal to reclassify the A Class shares of Large Company Value, Value, Select,
Strategic Allocation: Conservative, Strategic Allocation: Moderate, Strategic
Allocation: Aggressive, Global Growth, and International Growth as Advisor Class
shares of the same Funds. A Class shareholders of these Funds will receive a
separate proxy statement/prospectus describing this proposal in detail and will
have an opportunity to vote on it. If the reclassification is approved by the
A Class shareholders, the current A Class shares would cease to exist; the
Change in Fee Structure Proposal contained in this proxy would take effect;
such shares would be subject to a maximum 5.75% front-end sales load; and the
Advisor Class shares would be renamed as "A Class" shares. However, the
front-end sales load will not apply to current Advisor Class shareholders who
purchase additional shares in the same accounts. Additionally, after the
Advisor Class shares have been renamed as A Class shares, shareholders will
be able to exchange their shares for A Class shares of other American
Century Funds.
- ------
16
Lastly, as part of this larger set of initiatives, it is anticipated that if
the Change in Fee Structure Proposal is approved, the Advisor Class shares of
Emerging Markets, Equity Income, Heritage, Real Estate and Ultra will be renamed
as "A Class" shares. Additionally, it is anticipated that a maximum front-end
sales load of 5.75% will be imposed on the renamed A Class shares. However, the
front-end sales load will not apply to current Advisor Class shareholders who
purchase additional shares in the same accounts. Additionally, after the Advisor
Class shares have been renamed as A Class shares, shareholders will be able to
exchange their shares for A Class shares of other American Century Funds.

COMPARISON OF THE CURRENT ADVISORY AGREEMENTS AND THE NEW ADVISORY AGREEMENTS
The terms of each New Advisory Agreement are identical to those of the
corresponding Current Advisory Agreement, except for the management fees
payable, which have been increased by 25 basis points to account for the
transfer of the recordkeeping/administrative reimbursements from the Rule 12b-1
fee to the unified management fee, and the effective and termination dates. The
New Advisory Agreement will continue in effect from year to year if such
continuance is approved for the Funds at least annually in the manner required
by the 1940 Act and the rules and regulations thereunder. Please see Exhibit C
for the current rate of compensation paid under the Current Advisory Agreements
for each Advisor Fund and the pro forma fees to be paid under the New Advisory
Agreements after giving effect to the Change In Fee Structure Proposal.
ADVISORY SERVICES
The services to be provided by the Advisor to the Advisor Funds under the New
Advisory Agreements will be identical to those services that were provided by
the Advisor under the Current Advisory Agreements except that the provision of
recordkeeping/administrative services will now be provided for and paid for
under the New Advisory Agreements. Both the Current Advisory Agreements and the
New Advisory Agreements provide that the Advisor will: (i) decide what
securities to buy and sell for each Advisor Fund's portfolio and (ii) select
brokers and dealers to carry out portfolio securities transactions for each
Advisor Fund.
EXPENSES
The provisions of the New Advisory Agreements regarding expenses are identical
to the provisions of the Current Advisory Agreements. Under the terms of the
Current Advisory Agreements and the New Advisory Agreements, the Advisor will
bear all expenses incurred by it in the performance of its responsibilities.
Each Advisor Fund is responsible for custody fees and other charges and expenses
of each Advisor Fund's operations such as compensation of the Independent
Directors, independent accountants and legal counsel of the Independent
Directors.
COMPENSATION
The following table shows the aggregate amount paid by each Fund under the
unified management fee and Rule 12b-1 fee for 2006, and the aggregate amount

fee had been in effect during 2006.

BASIS FOR THE BOARDS' APPROVAL OF THE NEW ADVISORY AGREEMENTS
At meetings held on November 29, 2006 and March 7, 2007, the Boards, including
the Independent Directors, considered and approved the proposed increase to the
unified management fee of the Advisor Class shares of the Advisor Funds and
accordingly approved the New Advisory Agreements for each Advisor Fund. In
approving the New Advisory Agreements, the Boards considered the following
factors:
* that the increase in the unified management fee is being proposed in
connection with a simultaneous decrease in the Rule 12b-1 fees of the Advisor
Class;
* that there will not be any change in the total expense ratio of the
Advisor Class as a result of the increase in the unified management fee;
* that if the proposed New Advisory Agreements are approved by shareholders
of the Advisor Class of Equity Income, Real Estate, Heritage, Ultra, and
Emerging Markets it is anticipated that the Advisor Class shares will be
renamed A Class shares, and a front-end sales load would be added to the
class; but would also result in the load being waived for current
shareholders of the Advisor Class who purchase future A Class shares through
the same accounts; and
* that the increase in the unified management fee of the Advisor Class will
make the class fee structure more consistent with the fee structure of other
share classes of the American Century Funds and industry practice.
At the meetings, after considering all information presented, the Boards,
including the Independent Directors, unanimously approved each New Advisory
Agreement and determined to recommend that shareholders approve the New Advisory
Agreements. No single factor was determinative in the Boards' analysis. The
following summary describes the most important, but not all, of the factors
considered by the Boards.
SERVICES TO BE PROVIDED
The Boards considered the services to be provided in consideration for the 25
basis point increase in the unified management fee. The Boards noted that the
recordkeeping/administrative services provided in consideration for the 25 basis
points would not change. Instead the recordkeeping/administrative services would
now be paid as part of the unified management fee instead of the Rule 12b-1 fee.
The recordkeeping/administrative services, which include the provision of
recordkeeping and related services that would otherwise be performed by the
Funds' transfer agent, may be performed by financial intermediaries or by the
Advisor or its affiliates. In circumstances in which the
recordkeeping/administrative services are performed by financial intermediaries,
the Advisor will pay such intermediaries all or part of the
recordkeeping/administrative fee for performing the services.
COSTS AND PROFITABILITY
The Boards did not request any specific information regarding the costs of the
services to be provided in consideration of the 25 basis point increase in the
unified management fee because the Boards had previously reviewed the nature,
scope and costs associated with the provision of the
recordkeeping/administrative services as part of its approval of the Rule 12b-1
plan on behalf of the Advisor Funds. The Boards had previously found the 25
basis point fee for recordkeeping/administrative services to be reasonable in
light of the scope and nature of the services provided.
BENEFITS TO THE ADVISOR
The Boards considered the information presented regarding the benefits to the
Advisor from the increase in the unified management fee. The Boards noted that
the 25 basis point increase in the unified management fee would be paid out by
the Advisor to the financial intermediary providing the
recordkeeping/administrative services to the beneficial owners of the shares.
The increased fee would only be retained by the Advisor to the extent that it
was providing the recordkeeping/administrative services on behalf of
shareholders. Currently, the Advisor retains the fee only to the extent it
provides the recordkeeping/administrative services on behalf of shareholders.
There would not be a net change in the amount the Advisor retains.
ECONOMIES OF SCALE
The Boards considered that the total expense ratio of the Advisor Class would
not change as a result of the increase in the unified management fee due to the
corresponding decrease in the Rule 12b-1 fee. The Boards considered that it was
- ------
21
necessary to pay financial intermediaries a fee for providing
recordkeeping/administrative services to shareholders and that the payment of
such a fee by the Advisor Funds could help them increase their assets and
therefore potentially enable shareholders to realize future economies of scale.
The Boards recognized, however, that the proposal would not increase payments to
financial intermediaries.
Additional information regarding the factors the Boards considered in their
annual renewal of advisory contracts on behalf of the Advisor Funds can be found
in the report to shareholders for each respective Advisor Fund. To request a
report of a Fund please call the following number: 1-800-345-2021.

PROPOSAL 3
APPROVAL OF AN AMENDMENT TO THE INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE OF REAL ESTATE
OVERVIEW AND RELATED INFORMATION
At its meeting on November 29, 2006, the Board of American Century Capital
Portfolios, Inc. approved a proposal to amend the investment objective of Real
Estate. Real Estate's investment objective is "fundamental" and thus may not be
changed without shareholder approval. The current investment objective of the
Fund states that "The fund seeks long-term capital appreciation. Income is a
secondary objective." This investment objective has been in effect since the
Fund's inception in September 1995. The Board proposes to amend the fundamental
investment objective to state that "The fund seeks high total investment return
through a combination of capital appreciation and current income."
The goal of this proposal is to modify Real Estate's fundamental investment
objective so that it does not identify capital appreciation as "primary" and
income as "secondary" objectives. If approved, Real Estate's new investment
objective will be to seek both capital appreciation and production of income
while not emphasizing one over the other. Whether or not the proposal is
approved, it is anticipated that Real Estate will continue its subadvisory
relationship with J.P. Morgan Investment Management, Inc. (the "Subadvisor").
The Subadvisor does not expect that the change in the Real Estate's fundamental
investment objective will, if approved, (1) materially affect its investment
strategy for the day-to-day management of the Fund; or (2) materially change the
risk factors applicable to the Fund.
INVESTMENT STRATEGY
Real Estate invests at least 80% of its assets in equity securities issued by
real estate invest-ment trusts ("REITs") and companies engaged in the real
estate industry. A REIT invests primarily in income-producing real estate or
makes loans to persons involved in the real estate industry. Equity securities
include common stock, preferred stock, and equity equivalent securities such as
convertible securities, stock futures contracts or stock index futures
contracts. A company is considered to be a real estate company if, in the
opinion of the Fund's portfolio managers (the "PMs"), at least 50% of its
revenues or 50% of the market value of its assets at the time its securities are
purchased by the Fund are attributed to the ownership, construction, management
or sale of real estate. The PMs look for real estate securities that they
believe will provide superior returns. The PMs attempt to focus the Fund's
investments on real estate companies and REITs with the potential for stock
price appreciation, plus strong growth of cash flow to investors.
Some REITs, called equity REITs, buy real estate, and investors receive income
from the rents received and from any profits on the sale of its properties.
Other REITs, called mortgage REITs, lend money to building developers and other
real estate companies, and receive income from interest paid on those loans.
There are also hybrid REITs, which engage in both owning real estate and making
loans. If a REIT meets certain requirements, it is not taxed on the income it
distributes to its investors.
The PMs' real estate securities investment philosophy is that consistently
excellent investment results can be achieved through superior stock selection
(based on both public equity and private real estate market factors) and
risk-managed portfolio construction. The PMs use a disciplined investment
process to manage the Fund, focusing on stock selection rather than sector or
theme bets. The portfolio management process relies on a continuous screen of
the target universe of investments to identify companies exhib-iting financial
strength, and operating returns and growth prospects that are attractively
priced at any given time. This process also helps the PMs sell the stocks of
companies whose fundamentals are no longer attractively priced.
The PMs evaluate each company's ability to generate earnings over an earnings
cycle, not just for the next one or two years. The PMs focus research efforts on
determining the normalized earnings and earnings growth of a company, from which
they determine if the company's current price fully reflects its long-term
value.
PRINCIPAL RISKS
An investment in the Fund may be subject to many of the same risks as a direct
invest-ment in real estate. This is due to the fact that the value of the Fund's
investments may be affected by the value of the real estate owned by the
companies in which it invests. These risks include changes in economic
conditions, interest rates, property values, property tax increases,
overbuilding and increased competition, environmental contamination, zoning and
natural disasters.
Because the Fund concentrates its investments in real estate securities, it
may be subject to greater risks and market fluctuations than a fund representing
a broader range of indus-tries. In addition, market performance tends to be
cyclical and, in the various cycles, certain investment styles may fall in and
out of favor. If the market is not favoring the Fund's style, its gains may not
be as big as, or its losses may be bigger than, other equity funds using
different investment styles.
- ------
23
To the extent the Fund invests in mortgage REITs, it will be subject to credit
risk and interest rate risk with respect to the loans made by the REITs in which
it invests. Credit risk is the risk that the borrower will not be able to make
interest and principal payments on the loan to the REIT when they are due.
Interest rate risk is the risk that a change in the prevailing interest rate
will cause the value of the loan portfolio held by the REIT to rise or fall.
Generally, when interest rates rise, the value of the loan portfolio will
decline. The opposite is true when interest rates decline. The degree to which
interest rate changes affect the Fund's performance varies and is related to the
specific characteristics of the loan portfolios of the mortgage REITs in which
the Fund invests.
The Fund is classified as nondiversified. Because it is nondiversified, it may
hold large positions in a small number of securities. To the extent it maintains
such positions, the price change in any one of those securities may have a
greater impact on the Fund's share price than if it were diversified.
Although the PMs intend to invest the Fund's assets primarily in U.S.
securities, the Fund may invest in foreign securities. Foreign investment
involves additional risks, including fluctuations in currency exchange rates,
less stable political and economic structures, reduced availability of public
information, and lack of uniform financial reporting and regulatory practices
similar to those that apply in the United States. These factors make investing
in foreign securities generally riskier than investing in U.S. securities.
The value of the Fund's shares depends on the value of the stocks and other
securities it owns. The value of the individual securities the Fund owns will go
up and down depending on the performance of the companies that issued them,
general market and economic conditions and investor confidence.
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.
REASONS FOR THE PROPOSED CHANGE
As of December 31, 2006, approximately 91.4% of the Fund's investments was
invested in REITs. The structure of REITs requires that a REIT distribute
substantially all its taxable income to shareholders in order to retain REIT
status. Because of these distributions, REITs must frequently revisit the
capital markets seeking the cash needed to fund their capital growth. REIT
investments have generally been viewed as income generating investments, because
of their inability to grow capital internally.
However, over the past few years, the real estate market has experienced a
high level of capital growth. As a result, Real Estate has experienced a
similarly high level of appreciation of the assets in its portfolio, including
its REIT investments. During this time period, much of the gains recorded by
the Fund have been a result of capital appreciation of portfolio assets
(including REITs) as opposed to income generated from REIT or other investments.
However, it is not possible to predict with any certainty how long this trend
will continue. In the event that the real estate market does not continue to
appreciate at its current rate, or begins to depreciate, it may negatively
impact the Fund if it continues to emphasize capital appreciation over the
production of current income. The new investment objective, if approved, would
permit the Fund's PMs to seek a total return through the appropriate combination
of capital appreciation and current income, as dictated by then-existing market
conditions. The Fund's Advisor, Subadvisor and Directors believe that this
approach is more flexible and is a better reflection of the type of return an
investor in a real estate mutual fund should expect, given the income producing
nature of REITs in which the Fund primarily invests.
SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL
Proposal 3, the approval of the modified Real Estate investment objective, must
be approved in accordance with Section 13(a)(3) of the 1940 Act, which requires
the approval of the lesser of (i) more than 50% of the outstanding shares of the
Fund or (ii) 67% or more of the shares of the Fund present or represented by
proxy at the Meeting if more than 50% of such shares are present or represented
by proxy.
THE DIRECTORS OF AMERICAN CENTURY CAPITAL PORTFOLIOS, INC. RECOMMEND
THAT THE SHAREHOLDERS OF REAL ESTATE VOTE TO APPROVE THE AMENDMENT TO
THE INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE.

PROPOSAL 4
APPROVAL OF A NEW SUBADVISORY AGREEMENT FOR EQUITY INDEX
OVERVIEW AND RELATED INFORMATION
The current subadvisor for Equity Index, Barclay's Global Fund Advisors
("Barclays"), recently informed the Advisor that in light of Barclays' current
business model, Barclays is not interested in continuing to provide subadvisory
services to Equity Index. Barclays currently serves as subadvisor to Equity
Index pursuant to a subadvisory contract between Barclays and the Advisor dated
January 29, 1999 (the "Old Subadvisory Agreement"). The Old Subadvisory
Agreement was approved by the initial shareholder of Equity Index on February
25, 1999.
Upon notification by Barclays of its decision to discontinue providing
subadvisory services to Equity Index, the Advisor formed a committee (the
"Committee") to solicit bids for a replacement subadvisor to Equity Index. The
Committee issued a formal Request for Proposal to four potential subadvisors,
including Northern Trust Investments, N.A. ("Northern Trust"). After receiving
responses from the four subadvisors, the Committee invited Northern Trust and
one other finalist to make in-person presentations. The Advisor also submitted
subadvisory contract proposals to the two finalists. After careful
consideration, the Board voted to approve, and recommends to Shareholders, the
new subadvisory agreement ("New Subadvisory Agreement") between Northern Trust
and the Advisor.

COMPARISON OF THE CURRENT SUBADVISORY AGREEMENT AND THE NEW SUBADVISORY
AGREEMENT
The Directors of American Century Capital Portfolios, Inc. approved the New
Subadvisory Agreement at a meeting held on November 29, 2006. The terms of the
New Subadvisory Agreement are generally similar to those found in the Old
Subadvisory Agreement. If approved, the New Subadvisory Agreement will continue
in effect until July 31, 2009 and thereafter so long as such continuance is
approved at least annually by the Board or by a vote of a majority of Equity
Index's outstanding voting shares, provided that in either event the
continuance is approved by a majority of the Board who are not "interested
persons," as that term is defined in the 1940 Act, of any party to the
New Subadvisory Agreement. For a complete understanding of the New
Subadvisory Agreement, please refer to the form of New Subadvisory Agreement
provided in Exhibit D. The following paragraphs briefly discuss some important
provisions contained in the New Subadvisory Agreement.
ADVISORY SERVICES
The services provided by Northern Trust to Equity Index under the New
Subadvisory Agreement will be substantially similar to those previously provided
by Barclays under the Old Subadvisory Agreement. Both agreements provide that
the subadvisor will: (i) make investment decisions for Equity Index in
accordance with its investment objective and policies as stated in its
prospectus and statement of additional information and with such written
guidelines as the Advisor may provide to the subadvisor; (ii) place purchase and
sale orders on behalf of Equity Index; (iii) maintain books and records with
respect to the securities transactions of Equity Index; and (iv) furnish the
Board such regular and special reports with respect to the Fund as the Board may
reasonably request. The subadvisor will also supervise the Fund's investments
and conduct a continual program of investment, evaluation and if appropriate,
sale and reinvestment of the Funds' assets.
EXPENSES
The provisions of the New Subadvisory Agreement regarding expenses are
substantially similar to those of the Old Subadvisory Agreement. Under both
agreements, the subadvisor agrees to pay its organizational, operational and
business expenses but is not obligated to pay any expenses of the Advisor or
expenses of Equity Index such as brokerage fees, commissions in connection with
the execution of securities transactions, taxes, interest and custodian fees and
expenses.
COMPENSATION
The fees to be paid to Northern Trust under the New Subadvisory Agreement are
lower than the fees paid to Barclays under the Old Subadvisory Agreement.
Northern Trust will receive a fee equal to two basis points (0.02%) on the first
$500,000,000 of assets in the fund, and one basis point (0.01%) on all amounts
in excess of $500,000,000 under the New Subadvisory Agreement. Barclays receives
a fee equal to five basis points (0.05%) on the first $200,000,000 of assets in
the Fund, two basis points (0.02%) on the next $300,000,000 and one basis point
(0.01%) on any amount in excess of $500,000,000 under the Old Subadvisory
Agreement. The fees will continue to be paid by the Advisor out of the
management fee it receives from Equity Index. Under the terms of the New
Subadvisory Agreement, the Advisor will pay Northern Trust a management fee
payable monthly in arrears on the first business day of each month.
LIABILITY OF NORTHERN TRUST
The New Subadvisory Agreement provides that Northern Trust will not be liable to
Equity Index for any loss due solely to a mistake of investment judgment.
However, Northern Trust will be liable for any loss which is incurred by reason
of an act or omission of its employee, partner, director or affiliate, if such
act or omission involves a willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence,
or breach of its duties or obligations whether such duties are express or
implied.

Trust also serves as subadvisor to the following mutual funds having similar

In connection w providing investment subadvisory services to the funds listed
above, Northern Trust has not waived or reduced its fees below the amounts
specified in Northern Trust's investment subadvisory contracts with these
parties.
BASIS FOR THE BOARD'S APPROVAL OF THE NEW SUBADVISORY AGREEMENT
The Request for Proposal contained 52 questions on key topics including: firm
experience in "indexing," portfolio manager experience, portfolio analyst
experience, research and trading practices, investment process, portfolio
construction, portfolio risk management, portfolio managers' compensation and
operational controls which included such issues as daily valuation, cash
management, and investment accounting systems and processes. A summary of
Northern Trust's responses to the Request for Proposal was reviewed with the
Board.
At its meeting held on November 29, 2006, the Board, including the Independent
Directors, considered and approved Northern Trust as the new subadvisor for
Equity Index. In approving Northern Trust, the Board considered the following
criteria relevant to Northern Trust: a strong track record of performance in
both historical tracking error and raw performance numbers compared to the S&P
500, the breadth of experience in index fund management, sizable subadvisory
relationships with companies subject to the 1940 Act, a commitment to index
business evidenced by a lack of forays into the Exchange Traded Funds business,
diligent investment process and extremely positive reference calls with other
mutual fund companies for whom Northern Trust currently serves as subadvisor.
The Board also considered that Northern Trust did not present any concerns with
respect to complying with American Century's stringent requirements for trading
practices and soft dollar arrangements.
The Board also compared the services, and potential costs of the services, to be
rendered and amounts to be paid under the New Subadvisory Agreement. The Board
determined that the fees charged by Northern Trust were reasonable.
The fees to be paid to Northern Trust will be paid by the Advisor out of its
unified fee and not by Fund shareholders. The Fund has a stepped fee that
decreases as Fund assets grow and its breakpoint is achieved. Currently,
shareholders benefit from the Fund's size as it has achieved its breakpoint.
Since the Advisor will pay Northern Trust out of its unified fee, shareholders
will not be affected by any breakpoints in Northern Trust's fee schedule.
After considering all information presented, and while no single factor was
determinative, the Board, including the Independent Directors, unanimously
approved the New Subadvisory Agreement and determined to recommend that
shareholders of Equity Index approve the New Subadvisory Agreement.
SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL
Proposal 4, the approval of the New Subadvisory Agreement, must be approved in
accordance with Section 15(a) of the 1940 Act, which requires the approval of
the lesser of (i) more than 50% of the outstanding shares of the Fund or (ii)
67% or more of the shares of the Fund present or represented by proxy at the
Meeting if more than 50% of such shares are present or represented by proxy.
THE DIRECTORS OF AMERICAN CENTURY CAPITAL PORTFOLIOS, INC. RECOMMEND THAT THE
SHAREHOLDERS OF EQUITY INDEX VOTE TO APPROVE THE NEW SUBADVISORY AGREEMENT.

OTHER INFORMATION
MEETINGS OF SHAREHOLDERS
The Funds are not required to hold annual shareholder meetings, unless required
to do so in order to elect directors and for such other purposes as may be
prescribed by law or the Funds' Articles of Incorporation. Special meetings of
the shareholders may be called by the Directors for the purpose of taking action
upon any other matter deemed by the directors to be necessary or desirable. A
meeting of the shareholders may be held at any place designated by the
Directors. Written notice of any meeting is required to be given by the
directors.
This Proxy Statement is being furnished in connection with the solicitation of
proxies by the Boards (including, with respect to Proposal 1, the Nominees to
the Boards). Proxies may be solicited by officers of the Funds and the Advisor,
as well as their affiliates, employees and agents. In addition, financial
intermediaries may solicit the proxy of the beneficial owners of the shares. It
is anticipated that the solicitation of proxies will be primarily by mail,
internet, telephone, facsimile or personal interview. Shareholders who
communicate proxies by telephone or by other electronic means have the same
power and authority to issue, revoke or otherwise change their voting
instructions as shareholders submitting proxies in written form. Telephonic
solicitations will follow procedures designed to ensure accuracy and prevent
fraud. The Advisor or an affiliate thereof may reimburse banks, brokers and
others for their reasonable expenses in forwarding proxy solicitation materials
to beneficial owners of Fund shares, and may reimburse certain officers or
employees that it may employ for their reasonable expenses in assisting in the
solicitation of proxies from such beneficial owners. The expenses associated
with the Proposals of this Proxy Statement will be paid by American Century.
Such expenses include: (a) expenses associated with the preparation and filing
of this Proxy Statement; (b) postage; (c) printing; (d) accounting fees; (e)
legal fees incurred in the preparation of the Proxy Statement; (f) solicitation
costs; and (g) other related administrative or operational costs.
American Century Services, LLC, the transfer agent and administrator of the
Funds, has entered into a contract with ADP Investor Communication Services,
Inc. ("ADP") pursuant to which ADP will provide certain project management,
telephone solicitation, and internet and telephonic voting services in addition
to providing for the printing and mailing of the proxy statement. The fees to be
paid to ADP by American Century Services, LLC under the contract are estimated
to be $5.6 million in the aggregate.

The Meeting will be held on June 27, 2007 at the principal executive offices of
American Century, 4500 Main Street, Kansas City, Missouri 64111, at 10:00 a.m.,
Central Time.
USE AND REVOCATION OF PROXIES
A shareholder executing and returning a proxy has the power to revoke it at any
time prior to its exercise by executing a superseding proxy (i.e., a later-dated
and signed proxy), by submitting a notice of revocation to the Secretary of the
Funds or by subsequently registering his or her vote by telephone or over the
Internet. In addition, although mere attendance at the Meeting will not revoke a
proxy, a shareholder of record present at the Meeting may withdraw his or her
proxy and vote in person. All shares represented by properly executed proxies
received at or prior to the Meeting, unless such proxies previously have been
revoked, will be voted at the Meeting in accordance with the directions on the
proxies. If no direction is indicated on a properly executed proxy, such shares
will be voted "FOR" approval of the Proposal(s). It is not anticipated that any
matters other than the approval of the Proposals will be brought before the
Meeting. If, however, any other business properly is brought before the Meeting,
proxies will be voted in accordance with the judgment of the persons designated
on such proxies.
VOTING RIGHTS AND REQUIRED VOTES
A quorum of shareholders is necessary to hold a valid meeting. Shareholders
entitled to vote one-third of the issued and outstanding shares of each Issuer,
Fund or Class must be present in person or by proxy, to constitute a quorum for
purposes of voting on proposals relating to that Issuer, Fund or Class, except
American Century Mutual Funds, Inc. and American Century Variable Portfolios,
Inc. for which a majority of the eligible votes shall constitute a quorum.
Shareholders are entitled to one vote per dollar of net asset value represented
by their shares, with fractional dollars voting proportionally. Shareholders of
each Issuer vote separately on Proposal 1 (Election of Directors). Holders of
Advisor Class shares of the Advisor Funds vote separately on Proposal 2 (Change
in Advisor Class Fee Structure). Only shareholders of Real Estate vote
on Proposal 3 (Change in Investment Objective of the Real Estate Fund) and only
shareholders of Equity Index vote on Proposal 4 (Subadvisory Agreement
with Northern Trust). Approval of Proposal 1 requires the approval of a
plurality of the votes cast in person or by proxy at the Meeting at which a
quorum exists. Approval of Proposals 2, 3, and 4 requires the approval of the
lesser of (i) more than 50% of the outstanding shares of the applicable Fund or
Class or (ii) 67% or more of the shares of that Fund or Class present or
represented by proxy at the Meeting if more than 50% of such shares are present
or represented by proxy. Broker-dealer firms holding shares of any of the Funds
in "street name" for the benefit of their customers and clients will request the
instructions of such customers and clients on how to vote their shares before
the Meeting. Each Issuer, Fund, or Class will include shares held of record by
broker-dealers as to which such authority has been granted in its tabulation of
the total number of shares present for purposes
- ------
28
of determining whether the necessary quorum of shareholders exists.
Properly executed proxies that are returned but that are marked "abstain" or
with respect to which a broker-dealer has declined to vote on any proposal
("broker non-votes") will be treated as shares that are present but which have
not been voted. For this reason, abstentions and broker non-votes will have the
effect of a "no" vote for purposes of obtaining the requisite approval of the
proposals. In the event that a quorum is not present or in the event that a
quorum is present but sufficient votes in favor of a Proposal have not been
received, the persons named as proxies may propose one or more adjournments of
the Meeting to permit further solicitation of proxies as to any Proposal without
further notice other than by announcement at the Meeting. Any adjournment of the
Meeting for the further solicitation of proxies for a Proposal will require the
affirmative vote of a majority of the total number of shares entitled to vote on
the Proposal that are present in person or by proxy at the Meeting to be
adjourned. However, if the Meeting is adjourned for more than ninety days, then
the Funds are required to send a new notice to shareholders.
OUTSTANDING SHARES AND SIGNIFICANT SHAREHOLDERS

April 13, 2007 (the "Record Date") are entitled to vote on Proposal 1 at the

EXHIBIT D
INVESTMENT SUBADVISORY AGREEMENT
THIS INVESTMENT SUBADVISORY AGREEMENT ("Agreement") is made as of the 1st day of
August, 2007, by and among AMERICAN CENTURY INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT, INC.
("ACIM"), a Delaware corporation, and NORTHERN TRUST INVESTMENTS, N.A. (the
"Subadvisor"), an Illinois corporation.
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, ACIM is the investment advisor to the funds listed on Exhibit A hereto
(each a "Fund" and collectively the "Funds"), each of which is a series of
shares of American Century Capital Portfolios, Inc. ("ACCP") and is an open-end
management investment company registered with the Securities and Exchange
Commission under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Investment
Company Act"); and
WHEREAS, ACIM and the Subadvisor are both investment advisors registered with
the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Investment Advisers Act of
1940, as amended; and
WHEREAS, ACCP has engaged ACIM to serve as the investment manager for the Funds
pursuant to a Management Agreement dated August 1, 2006; and
WHEREAS, ACIM desires to engage the Subadvisor as a subadvisor for the Funds,
and the Subadvisor desires to accept such engagement; and
WHEREAS, the Boards of Directors of ACIM and the Subadvisor have determined that
it is advisable to enter into this Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the covenants and
agreements hereinafter set forth, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the
parties hereto covenant and agree as follows:
(1) INVESTMENT DESCRIPTION - APPOINTMENT. ACIM hereby appoints the
Subadvisor to provide the advisory services described herein to the Funds
in accordance with each Fund's Prospectus and Statement of Additional
Information as in effect and as amended from time to time, subject to the
oversight and direction of each Fund's Board of Directors and ACIM. ACIM
will promptly provide the Subadvisor copies of all amendments to each
Fund's Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information on an ongoing
basis. In consideration for the compensation set forth below, the
Subadvisor accepts the appointment and agrees to furnish the services
described herein.
(2) SERVICES AS INVESTMENT SUBADVISOR.
(a) Subject to the general supervision of each Fund's Board of Directors
and of ACIM, the Subadvisor will (i) act in conformity with each Fund's
Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information, the Investment Company
Act, the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (the "Investment Advisers Act"),
the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") and all other applicable federal and
state laws and regulations, as the same may from time to time be amended;
(ii) make investment decisions for each Fund in accordance with such Fund's
investment objective and policies as stated in such Fund's Prospectus and
Statement of Additional Information and with such written guidelines as
ACIM may from time to time provide to the Subadvisor; (iii) place purchase
and sale orders on behalf of the Funds; (iv) maintain books and records
with respect to the securities transactions of each Fund; and (v) furnish
the Funds' Board of Directors such periodic, regular and special reports
with respect to the Funds and its services hereunder as the Board may
reasonably request or as may be required by applicable law or regulation.
(b) In providing those services, the Subadvisor will supervise the Fund's
investments and conduct a continual program of investment, evaluation and,
if appropriate, sale and reinvestment of the Funds' assets. In addition,
the Subadvisor will furnish ACCP or ACIM whatever information, including
statistical data, ACCP or ACIM may reasonably request with respect to the
instruments that any Fund may hold or contemplate purchasing.
(c) The Subadvisor will at all times comply with the policies adopted by
the Funds' Board of Directors of which it has received written notice. Any
change to any such policies shall be approved by the Funds' Board of
Directors prior to the implementation of such change, and Subadvisor will
be given reasonable notice of the anticipated change.
(d) All cash, securities and other assets of the Funds shall be held at
all times by such entity or entities engaged by ACCP to be the custodian
(collectively, the "custodian") in compliance with Section 17(f) of the
Investment Company Act. The Subadvisor shall not be responsible for any
custody arrangements involving any assets of the Funds or for the payment
of any custodial charges or fees, nor shall the Subadvisor have possession
or custody of any such assets. All payments, distributions and other
transactions in cash, securities or other assets in respect of the Funds
shall be made directly to or from the custodian. ACIM shall provide, or
shall direct the custodian to provide, to the Subadvisor from time to time
such reports concerning assets, receipts and disbursements with respect to
the Funds as the Subadvisor
- ------
D-1
may request, including daily information on cash balances available for
investment, Fund redemption activity and market value of the securities
held by the Funds.
(e) ACIM acknowledges and agrees that the Subadvisor is not the Funds'
pricing agent, and is not responsible for pricing the securities held by
any Fund, however the Subadvisor will provide reasonable assistance to the
Funds' pricing agents in valuing securities held by each Fund for which
market quotations are not readily available.
(f) The Subadvisor makes no representations or warranties, express or
implied, that any level of performance or investment results will be
achieved by the Funds or that the Funds will perform comparably with any
standard, including any other clients of the Subadvisor or index.
(g) The Subadvisor will not consult with any other subadvisors of the
Funds or other subadvisors to a series under common control with any Fund
concerning transactions of the Funds in securities or other assets.
(h) The Subadvisor will not advise or act for the Funds in any legal
proceedings, including bankruptcies or class actions, involving securities
held in the Funds or issues of those securities, unless otherwise agreed.
(3) BROKERAGE.
(a) In executing transactions for the Funds and selecting brokers or
dealers, the Subadvisor will seek to obtain the best price and execution
available and shall execute or direct the execution of all such
transactions as permitted by law and in a manner that is consistent with
its fiduciary obligations to the Funds and its other clients. In assessing
the best price and execution available for any Fund transaction, the
Subadvisor will consider all factors it deems relevant including, but not
limited to, breadth of the market in the security, the price of the
security, the financial condition and execution capability of the broker or
dealer and the reasonableness of any commission for the specific
transaction and on a continuing basis. Consistent with this obligation,
when the execution and price offered by two or more brokers or dealers are
comparable, the Subadvisor may, at its discretion, execute transactions
with brokers and dealers who provide the Funds and/or other accounts over
which the Subadvisor exercises investment discretion with research advice
and other services, but in all instances best price and execution shall
control. The Subadvisor is authorized to place purchase and sale orders for
the Funds with brokers and/or dealers subject to the supervision of ACIM
and the Board of Directors of the Funds and in accordance with the
limitations set forth in the registration statement for the Fund shares
then in effect.
(b) On occasions when the Subadvisor deems the purchase or sale of a
security to be in the best interest of a Fund as well as one or more of its
other clients, the Subadvisor may to the extent permitted by applicable
law, but shall not be obligated to, aggregate the securities to be sold or
purchased with those of its other clients. In such event, allocation of the
securities so purchased or sold will be made by the Subadvisor in a manner
it considers to be equitable and consistent with its fiduciary obligations
to ACCP and to such other clients. ACIM recognizes that, in some cases,
this procedure may limit the size of the position that may be acquired or
sold for a Fund.
(4) INFORMATION PROVIDED TO ACCP.
(a) The Subadvisor will keep ACCP and ACIM informed of developments
materially affecting the Funds and will take initiative to furnish ACCP and
ACIM on at least a quarterly basis with whatever information the Subadvisor
and ACIM believe is appropriate for this purpose. Such regular quarterly
reports shall include information reasonably requested by the Funds' Board
of Directors from time to time.
(b) The Subadvisor will provide ACCP and ACIM with such investment
records, ledgers, accounting and statistical data, and other information as
ACCP and ACIM reasonably request for the preparation of registration
statements, periodic and other reports and other documents required by
federal and state laws and regulations, and particularly as may be required
for the periodic review, renewal, amendment or termination of this
Agreement, and such additional documents and information as ACCP and ACIM
may reasonably request for the management of their affairs. The Subadvisor
understands that the Funds and ACIM will rely on such information in the
preparation of the Funds' registration statements, the Funds' financial
statements, and any such reports, and hereby covenants that any such
information derived from the investment records, ledgers and accounting
records maintained by the Subadvisor shall be true and complete in all
material respects.
(c) At the request of the Board of Directors, a representative of the
Subadvisor shall attend meetings of the Board of Directors to make a
presentation on each Fund's performance and such other matters as the
Board of Directors, the Subadvisor and ACIM believe is appropriate.
(d) The Subadvisor shall furnish to regulatory authorities any information
or reports in connection with such services as may be lawfully requested,
provided, however, that the Subadvisor shall not otherwise be responsible
for the preparation and filing of any other reports or statements
(including, without limitation, any tax returns or financial statements)
required of the Funds by any governmental or regulatory agency, except as
expressly agreed to in writing. The Subadvisor shall also, at ACCP's
request, certify to ACCP's independent auditors that sales or purchases
aggregated with those of other clients of the Subadvisor, as described in
Section 3 above, were allocated in a manner it considers to be equitable.
- ------
D-2
(e) In compliance with the requirements of the Investment Company Act, the
Subadvisor hereby agrees that all records that it maintains for the Funds
are the property of ACCP and further agrees to surrender to ACCP promptly
upon ACCP's written request any of such records. In addition, the
Subadvisor agrees to cooperate with ACCP and ACIM when either of them is
being examined by any regulatory authorities, and specifically agrees to
promptly comply with any request by such authorities to provide
information or records. The Subadvisor further agrees to preserve for
the periods of time prescribed by the Investment Company Act and the
Investment Advisers Act the records it maintains in accordance with
Section 2(a)(iv).
(f) ACIM will vote each Fund's investment securities in accordance with
its proxy voting policy and procedures. The Subadvisor shall not be
responsible for any such voting.
(g) In connection with the purchase and sale of securities of the Fund,
the Subadvisor shall arrange for the transmission to ACIM and the
custodian for the Fund on a daily basis such confirmation, trade tickets
and other documents as may be reasonably necessary to enable them to
perform their administrative responsibilities with respect to the Fund's
investment portfolio. With respect to portfolio securities to be
purchased or sold through the Depository Trust Company, the Subadvisor
shall arrange for the automatic transmission of the I.D. confirmation of
the trade to the custodian of the Fund. The Subadvisor will be
responsible for providing portfolio trades to the Fund's accounting agent
for inclusion in the daily calculation of the Fund's NAV in a manner,
and in accordance with such time requirements as ACIM and the Subadvisor
shall agree on. In the event trade data is not delivered by the
Subadvisor in accordance with such requirements and the Subadvisor's
failure causes an error that is material to the Fund, the subadvisor
shall reimburse the Fund pursuant to ACIM's NAV Error Policy.
(5) CONFIDENTIALITY. The parties to this Agreement agree that each shall
treat as confidential in accordance with its policies and procedures to
protect similar confidential information, and with applicable law, all
information provided by a party to the others regarding such party's
business and operations, including without limitation the investment
activities, holdings, or identities of shareholders of the Funds. All
confidential information provided by a party hereto shall be used by any
other parties hereto solely for the purposes of rendering services pursuant
to this Agreement and, except as may be required in carrying out the terms
of this Agreement, shall not be disclosed to any third party without the
prior consent of such providing party. The foregoing shall not be
applicable to any information that is publicly available when provided or
which thereafter becomes publicly available other than in contravention of
this paragraph. The foregoing also shall not apply to any information which
is required to be disclosed by any regulatory authority in the lawful and
appropriate exercise of its jurisdiction over a party, by any auditor of
the parties hereto, by judicial or administrative process or otherwise by
applicable law or regulation; provided, however, that the disclosing party
shall provide reasonable notice to the other parties hereto prior to any
such disclosure.
(6) COMPENSATION.
(a) In consideration of the services rendered pursuant to this Agreement,
ACIM will pay the Subadvisor a management fee, payable monthly in arrears
on the first business day of each month. The fee for the each month shall
equal the sum of the product of the "Applicable Fee" for each Fund as set
forth on Exhibit A attached hereto, times the net assets of such Fund on
that day, and further dividing that product by 365 (366 for leap years),
for each calendar day in such month.
(b) In the event that the Board of Directors of ACCP shall determine to
issue any additional series of shares for which it is proposed that the
Subadvisor serve as investment manager, and for which the Subadvisor
desires to so serve, ACIM and the Subadvisor shall amend Exhibit A to
this Agreement setting forth the name of the series, the Applicable Fee
and such other terms and conditions as are applicable to the management
of such series of shares.
(c) The Subadvisor shall have no right to obtain compensation directly
from any Fund or ACCP for services provided hereunder and agrees to look
solely to ACIM for payment of fees due. Upon termination of this
Agreement before the end of a month, or in the event the Agreement begins
after the beginning of the month, the fee for that month shall be
prorated according to the proportion that such period bears to the full
monthly period and shall be payable upon the date of termination of
this Agreement.
(7) EXPENSES. ACIM, ACCP, and the Funds shall assume and pay their
respective organizational, operational and business expenses not
specifically assumed or agreed to be paid by the Subadvisor pursuant to
this Agreement. The Subadvisor shall pay its own organizational,
operational and business expenses but shall not be obligated to pay any
expenses of ACIM, ACCP, and the Funds, including, without limitation: (a)
brokerage fees or commissions in connection with the execution of
securities transactions, (b) taxes and interest; and (c) custodian fees and
expenses.
