Market Perspective

By David MacEwen, Co-Chief Investment Officer

Slow Growth Led to Muted Inflation

Despite the continuation of the Federal Reserve’s (the Fed’s) low interest rate and bond-buying strategies designed to spark economic growth (and, ultimately, inflation), U.S. economic expansion remained relatively modest overall during 2013. In conjunction with limited global growth, inflationary pressures remained largely contained, and inflation-sensitive assets, including Treasury inflation-protected securities (TIPS), generally declined in value.

Muted inflation wasn’t the only obstacle facing TIPS investors during 2013. It was a challenging year for U.S. government bond investors in general, as yields on Treasury notes and bonds increased sharply. Investors expected improvements in certain economic sectors (particularly housing and the labor market) to trigger tapering in the Fed’s long-standing quantitative easing (QE) program, despite uncertainties about whether the economy was strong enough to withstand tapering.

Fed’s Taper Talk Triggered Treasury Sector Sell-Off

The Fed validated investor speculation about QE changes last spring, hinting it may begin tapering its $85 billion monthly bond purchases later in the year (the financial markets focused on September) if the economy and labor markets continued to improve. This “taper talk” rattled the fixed income market (where QE had helped suppress yields at historically low levels), driving yields higher and triggering a widespread sell-off. Volatility was greatest among less-liquid and longer-duration (greater price sensitivity to interest rate changes) securities, including TIPS. At the same time, weak inflation data and declining long-term inflation expectations weighed on inflation-indexed bonds.

Although the Fed surprised the financial markets with its September announcement of a taper delay, improving economic data in the fourth quarter suggested the delay would be short-lived. In December, the Fed announced it would reduce its monthly bond buying by $10 billion, starting in January 2014.

The prospect of reduced Fed bond buying tempered long-term inflation expectations. But the massive expansion of the Fed’s balance sheet since 2008, along with the Fed’s ongoing low interest rate policy, ultimately may lead to higher inflation.

Portfolio Commentary

Portfolio Managers: Bob Gahagan, Brian Howell, Jim Platz, Hando Aguilar, and Jeff Houston

Performance Summary

VP Inflation Protection declined -8.48%* for the 12 months ended December 31, 2013. The portfolio’s benchmark, the Barclays U.S. Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS) Index, declined -8.61% for the same time period. Fund returns reflect operating expenses, while benchmark returns do not.

The portfolio’s absolute performance reflected the challenging environment for TIPS, including subdued inflation and rising Treasury yields. The portfolio’s outperformance versus the benchmark was due to better relative results from the portfolio’s non-benchmark securities (held in the portfolio but not in the benchmark).

Market Backdrop

The headline inflation rate remained well below the Federal Reserve’s (the Fed’s) target level throughout the year, providing plenty of room for the central bank to maintain its accommodative monetary policies—policies that eventually may trigger higher inflation than what currently is priced into the financial markets. Specifically, the Fed continued its $85 billion monthly bond-buying program, known as quantitative easing (QE), and kept short-term interest rates at the ultra-low range of 0.00% to 0.25%.

But as the period progressed, it became increasingly evident the central bank was contemplating winding down QE, which in the wake of the financial crisis had helped drive down Treasury yields to record lows and support broad financial market gains. Although overall economic growth remained subpar, improvements in select indicators ultimately provided a catalyst for the Fed to announce it would begin tapering QE in January 2014.

Despite continued Fed bond buying throughout the period, all investment-grade bond sectors posted negative returns in the improving economy/taper-anticipation environment. TIPS underperformed nominal Treasuries and the broad investment-grade bond market primarily due to the market’s general preference for higher-yielding, higher-risk securities; TIPS’s less-liquid and longer-duration (greater price sensitivity to interest rate changes) characteristics; the absence of significant current inflation pressures; and declining longer-term inflation expectations.

Inflation Backdrop

Overall, current U.S. inflation, as measured by the Consumer Price Index (CPI), remained muted during the 12-month period, providing little support to TIPS. At the end of December 2013, the 12-month headline inflation rate was 1.5%, below the Fed’s long-term target rate of 2% and lower than the 1.7% annual inflation rate at the end of 2012.

*All fund returns referenced in this commentary are for Class II shares.

Global commodity prices, which influence the inflation rate, declined slightly during 2013. But oil prices were mixed, with Brent crude starting and ending the period at $111 a barrel and West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures advancing from $92 a barrel at the end of 2012 to $98 at the close of 2013.

Subpar growth and muted current inflation also led to declining longer-term inflation expectations. Specifically, the 10-year breakeven rate (the yield difference between 10-year TIPS and nominal 10-year Treasuries) narrowed from 2.45 percentage points at the end of December 2012 to 2.23 percentage points at the end of 2013. Theoretically, this 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.

Portfolio Positioning

IRS portfolio diversification regulations for insurance products limit the portfolio’s TIPS exposure to a maximum of 55%. As of December 31, 2013, the portfolio’s TIPS exposure was 52%. The remainder of the portfolio included non-dollar inflation-linked bonds (hedged against currency fluctuations) and investment-grade corporate and mortgage securities. Although these sectors generally declined for the 12-month period, they outperformed TIPS and helped account for the portfolio’s better results relative to the all-TIPS benchmark.

In an effort to maintain maximum portfolio inflation protection without investing further in TIPS, we used inflation “swaps” to create an inflation-linked “overlay” for the non-inflation-linked 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 counterparty credit risk. This strategy contributed to the portfolio’s better relative results, primarily because we used corporate and higher-yielding mortgage securities as the counterparts to the swap agreements, and these securities generally outperformed TIPS.

Outlook

Although inflation was tame throughout 2013, we believe longer-term inflation threats remain intact, including growing federal debt, relatively low interest rates, and ongoing, albeit slightly reduced, Fed bond buying. We believe these factors, combined with an improving economic environment, eventually may trigger higher inflation than currently is priced into the bond market. This underscores, in our view, the importance of securing potential long-term inflation protection through investments in TIPS and other inflation-linked securities.

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 July 1, 2013 to December 31, 2013.

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.

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.

(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 184, the number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year, divided by 365, to reflect the one-half year period.

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2013

1. Organization

American Century Variable Portfolios II, Inc. (the corporation) 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 Maryland corporation. VP Inflation Protection Fund (the fund) is the sole fund issued by the corporation. The fund is diversified as defined under the 1940 Act. The fund’s investment objective is to pursue long-term total return using a strategy that seeks to protect against U.S. inflation.

The fund offers Class I and Class II. The share classes differ principally in their respective distribution and shareholder servicing expenses and arrangements.

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 financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which may require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Investment Valuations — The fund determines the fair value of its investments and computes its net asset value 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 Directors 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 maturing in greater than 60 days at the time of purchase 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. Fixed income securities maturing within 60 days at the time of purchase may be valued at cost, plus or minus any amortized discount or premium or at the evaluated mean as provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated mean prices are commonly derived through utilization of market models, which may consider, among other factors: trade data, quotations from dealers and active market makers, relevant yield curve and spread data, related sector levels, creditworthiness, trade data or market information on comparable securities, and other relevant security specific information. 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 net asset value per share. Exchange-traded futures contracts are valued at the settlement price as provided by the appropriate clearing corporation. Swap agreements are valued at an evaluated price 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.

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 Directors or its delegate, in accordance with policies and procedures adopted by the Board of Directors. 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 net asset value 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.

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 paydown gain (loss) and accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums. Inflation adjustments related to inflation-linked debt securities are reflected as interest income.

Segregated Assets — In accordance with the 1940 Act, the fund segregates assets on its books and records to cover certain types of investments, including, but not limited to, futures contracts, forward commitments, when-issued securities, swap agreements and certain forward foreign currency exchange contracts. American Century Investment Management, Inc. (ACIM) (the investment advisor) 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 margin requirements on futures contracts and swap agreements.

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.

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.

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 generally declared and paid quarterly. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are generally declared and paid annually.

Indemnifications — Under the corporation’s organizational documents, its officers and directors 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

Management Fees — The corporation 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 all expenses of managing and operating the fund, except distribution fees, brokerage expenses, taxes, interest, fees and expenses of the independent directors (including legal counsel fees), and extraordinary expenses, will be paid by ACIM. The fee is computed and accrued daily based on each class’s daily net assets and paid monthly in arrears. 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 the funds in the American Century Investments family of funds. The rates for the Investment Category Fee range from 0.1625% to 0.2800%. The rates for the Complex Fee range from 0.2500% to 0.3100%. The effective annual management fee for each class for the year ended December 31, 2013 was 0.46%.

Distribution Fees — The Board of Directors has adopted the Master Distribution Plan (the plan) for Class II, pursuant to Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act. The plan provides that Class II will pay American Century Investment Services, Inc. (ACIS) an annual distribution fee equal to 0.25%. The fee is computed and accrued daily based on the Class II daily net assets and paid monthly in arrears. The distribution fee provides compensation for expenses incurred in connection with distributing shares of Class II including, but not limited to, payments to brokers, dealers, and financial institutions that have entered into sales agreements with respect to shares of the fund. Fees incurred under the plan during the year ended December 31, 2013 are detailed in the Statement of Operations.

Related Parties — Certain officers and directors of the corporation are also officers and/or directors of American Century Companies, Inc. (ACC). The corporation’s investment advisor, ACIM, the corporation’s distributor, ACIS, and the corporation’s transfer agent, American Century Services, LLC, are wholly owned, directly or indirectly, by ACC.

4. Investment Transactions

Purchases of investment securities, excluding short-term investments, for the year ended December 31, 2013 totaled $346,787,350, of which $251,534,604 represented U.S. Treasury and Government Agency obligations.

Sales of investment securities, excluding short-term investments, for the year ended December 31, 2013 totaled $922,379,891, of which $658,799,606 represented U.S. Treasury and Government Agency obligations.

For the year ended December 31, 2013, the fund incurred net realized gains of $33,989,106 from redemptions in kind. A redemption in kind occurs when a fund delivers securities from its portfolio in lieu of cash as payment to a redeeming shareholder.

5. Capital Share Transactions

Transactions in shares of the fund were as follows:

6. 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.

The following is a summary of the level classifications as of period end. The Schedule of Investments provides additional information on the fund’s portfolio holdings.

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 the termination 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 foreign currency transactions and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on translation of assets and liabilities in foreign currencies, 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 foreign currency risk derivative instruments held at period end as disclosed on the Schedule of Investments are indicative of the fund’s typical volume during the period.

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 purchased and sold interest rate risk derivative instruments throughout the reporting period, and the instruments held at period end as disclosed on the Schedule of Investments are indicative of the fund’s typical volume.

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. 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. The other contracts derivative instruments held at period end as disclosed on the Schedule of Investments are indicative of the fund’s typical volume during the period.

	Asset Derivatives		Liability Derivatives
Type of Risk Exposure	Location on Statement of Assets and Liabilities	Value	Location on Statement of Assets and Liabilities	Value
Foreign Currency Risk	Unrealized gain on forward foreign currency exchange contracts	$949,296	Unrealized loss on forward foreign currency exchange contracts	$3,562,842

		$(8,510,423)		$1,003,147

Counterparty Risk — The fund is subject to counterparty risk, or the risk that an institution will fail to perform its obligations to the fund. The investment advisor attempts to minimize counterparty risk prior to entering into transactions by performing extensive reviews of the creditworthiness of all potential counterparties. The fund may also enter into agreements that provide provisions for legally enforceable master netting arrangements to manage the credit risk between counterparties related to forward foreign currency exchange contracts and/or swap agreements. A master netting arrangement provides for the net settlement of multiple contracts with a single counterparty through a single payment in the event of default or termination of any one contract. To mitigate counterparty risk, the fund may receive assets or be required to pledge assets at the custodian bank or with a broker as designated under prescribed collateral provisions.

The fund does not offset assets and liabilities subject to master netting arrangements on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities for financial reporting purposes. The fund’s asset derivatives and liability derivatives that are subject to legally enforceable offsetting arrangements as of period end were as follows:

Counterparty	Gross Amount on Statement of Assets and Liabilities	Amount Eligible for Offset	Collateral	Net Exposure*
Assets
Barclays Bank plc	$428,445	$(428,445)	—	—

8. Federal Tax Information

The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 were as follows:

	2013	2012
Distributions Paid From
Ordinary income	$20,560,370	$38,130,352
Long-term capital gains	$41,895,461	$29,215,474

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.

The reclassifications, which are primarily due to redemptions in kind, were made to capital $33,447,291, undistributed net investment income $(958,220), and undistributed net realized gain $(32,489,071).

As of December 31, 2013, the federal tax cost of investments and the components of distributable earnings on a tax-basis were as follows:

Federal tax cost of investments	$725,292,013
Gross tax appreciation of investments	$20,991,605
Gross tax depreciation of investments	(17,151,269)
Net tax appreciation (depreciation) of investments	$3,840,336
Net tax appreciation (depreciation) on derivatives and translation of assets and liabilities in foreign currencies	$(7,886,525)
Net tax appreciation (depreciation)	$(4,046,189)
Other book-to-tax adjustments	$(1,358,403)
Undistributed ordinary income	—
Accumulated long-term gains	$18,119,924
Late-year ordinary loss deferral	$(1,284,683)

The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is attributable primarily to the realization for tax purposes of unrealized gain (losses) on certain foreign currency exchange contracts. 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.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Directors of the American Century Variable Portfolios II, Inc.
and Shareholders of the VP Inflation Protection Fund:

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the VP Inflation Protection Fund (the sole fund comprising the American Century Variable Portfolios II, Inc. (the “Fund”)) at December 31, 2013, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fund’s management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2013 by correspondence with the custodian, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Management

Board of Directors

The individuals listed below serve as directors of the funds. Each director will continue to serve in this capacity until death, retirement, resignation or removal from office. The board has adopted a mandatory retirement age for directors who are not “interested persons,” as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act (independent directors). Independent directors shall retire on December 31 of the year in which they reach their 75th birthday; provided, however, that on or after January 1, 2022, independent directors shall retire on December 31 of the year in which they reach their 76th birthday.

Mr. 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 directors (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 do not have any other affiliations, positions or relationships that would cause them to be considered “interested persons” under the Investment Company Act. The directors serve in this capacity for eight (in the case of Mr. Thomas, 15) registered investment companies in the American Century Investments family of funds.

The following table presents additional information about the directors. The mailing address for each director other than Mr. Thomas is 1665 Charleston Road, Mountain View, California 94043. The mailing address for Mr. Thomas is 4500 Main Street, Kansas City, Missouri 64111.
