Equity Income gained 2.01%* for the six months ended September 30, 2005, trailing the Lipper Equity Income Index, which was up 4.81%. Equity Income's long-term performance has been strong. From the fund's inception on August 1, 1994, Equity Income has produced an average annualized return of 13.85%, significantly ahead of the 9.77%** figure posted by the Lipper Equity Income Index and the S&P 500 Index's 11.17%** return. MARKET ENVIRONMENT Equity investors faced substantial challenges during the period covered by this report, including rising short-term interest rates, record energy prices, an abrupt drop in consumer confidence and one of the worst natural catastrophes in the nation's history. Nonetheless, the period was marked by gains for the broad stock market, as the S&P 500 gained 5.02%. Growth stocks generally performed better than value shares and investors continued their preference for lower-quality stocks, both of which presented challenges for Equity Income, which generally invests in higher-quality value stocks. UTILITIES LEAD PORTFOLIO Utility stocks proved to be the portfolio's largest contributors to absolute performance. On the electric side, FPL Group, Inc. emerged as the portfolio's top contributor. This public utility holding company's main subsidiary is Florida Power & Light Co., one of the best-managed, lowest-cost utilities in the sector. FPL Group has a strong balance sheet and has consistently grown its dividend over the last several years. Our gas utilities were led by Charlotte-based Piedmont Natural Gas Co., Inc., which serves customers in the Carolinas and Tennessee. This year marked the 27th consecutive year that Piedmont has raised its dividend. STRENGTH IN ENERGY In energy, our portfolio included integrated oil companies Exxon Mobil Corp. and BP Plc, as well as Unocal Corp. on the exploration and production side. Each of these companies delivered TOP TEN HOLDINGS AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 2005 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- % OF % OF NET ASSETS NET ASSETS AS OF AS OF 9/30/05 3/31/05 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bank of America Corp. 4.7% 1.0% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Exxon Mobil Corp. 3.5% 3.2% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- International Paper Co., 3.73%, 6/20/21 3.1% 2.2% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Verizon Global Funding Corp., 0.11%, 5/15/21 3.1% 1.6% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Kraft Foods Inc.

Total returns for periods less than one year are not annualized. ** Since 7/31/1994, the date nearest the Investor Class's inception for which data are available. (continued) - ------ 4 Equity Income - Portfolio Commentary exceptionally strong results for the second quarter as they generally benefited from rapidly rising oil and gas prices, and widened margins for refinery and chemical segments. Unocal also received takeover proposals from Chevron Corp. and CNOOC Limited, an affiliate of China National Offshore Oil Co. The company was purchased by Chevron in August. FINANCIALS ADD VALUE Equity Income's financial stocks provided mixed results. In real estate, Rayonier, Inc. was a top contributor. Based in Florida, the company owns and manages timberland in the U.S. and New Zealand. Having benefited from rising log prices and strong real estate markets, the company is returning money to investors. In September, Rayonier announced a 14% increase in its dividend--on top of an 11% dividend increase in the first quarter. The sector also held one of our largest detractors, Bank of America Corp. Profits for commercial banks have been squeezed by rising short-term rates on one side (a rising cost for capital) and relatively flat longer-term rates at which they can lend on the other. In addition, investors are closely watching Bank of America's planned integration of credit card giant MBNA, which it agreed to purchase in June. We continue to own this high-quality company. MATERIALS COMPANIES DETRACT The materials sector slowed the portfolio the most during the period as high energy and raw material prices dampened the results of chemical companies like E.I. du Pont de Nemours & Co., our largest detractor, and container companies such as Bemis Co., Inc., a major producer of flexible packaging for the food industry. We continue to hold both positions. LOOKING AHEAD Equity income seeks to provide current income, with capital appreciation as a secondary objective. We will continue to look for securities with a favorable income-paying history, as well as securities of companies that appear to be undervalued and have the potential to increase in price. This strategy has been in place since the fund's inception and has delivered attractive risk-adjusted returns.

Mid Cap Value posted a gain of 6.19%* for the six months ended September 30, 2005, trailing its benchmark, the Russell Midcap Value Index, which was up 10.31%. Mid Cap Value has gained 15.31% since its inception on March 31, 2004, versus a 19.44% increase for its benchmark. MARKET ENVIRONMENT Equity investors faced substantial challenges during the period covered by this report, including rising short-term interest rates, record energy prices, an abrupt drop in consumer confidence and one of the worst natural catastrophes in the nation's history. Nonetheless, the period was marked by gains for the broad stock market, with the Russell 3000 Index up 6.35%. Mid-sized companies fared well over the six months, as evidenced by the Russell Mid Cap Index's gain of 10.35%. Against this backdrop, the energy, industrials and utilities sectors provided strong performance. Lagging sectors for the period included consumer discretionary and materials. ENERGY LEADS THE PORTFOLIO Energy stocks proved to be Mid Cap Value's largest contributors to absolute performance, led by Burlington Resources Inc. and Unocal Corp. Houston-based Burlington Resources, which holds a leading position in North American natural gas reserves and production, rewarded investors with strong operating results, diligent cost-containment, and an 18% increase in its second-quarter dividend. Unocal, which reported record second-quarter earnings, also received takeover proposals from Chevron Corp. and CNOOC Limited, an affiliate of China National Offshore Oil Co. The company was purchased by Chevron in August. SUCCESS IN INDUSTRIALS Industrials represented another bright spot. Our investments included Republic Services, Inc., one of the country's leading solid waste management firms. Despite higher fuel costs the company posted strong second-quarter TOP TEN HOLDINGS AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 2005 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- % OF % OF NET ASSETS NET ASSETS AS OF AS OF 9/30/05 3/31/05 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bemis Co., Inc. 4.2% 1.3% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SunTrust Banks, Inc. 3.4% 2.3% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- International Flavors & Fragrances Inc. 2.9% -- - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Beckman Coulter Inc. 2.3% -- - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Republic Services, Inc.

In addition, Republic Services continued to return more cash to shareholders by announcing a 17% increase in its dividend and continuing a strong share buyback program. In the electrical equipment space, Emerson Electric Co. was an important contributor. The company, which makes a variety of electrical products for industrial customers, saw orders increase strongly in August. UTILITIES ADD VALUE Utility shares also benefited our performance. On the electric side, IDACORP, Inc. led our investments. This utility holding company operates Idaho Power, which serves southern Idaho and eastern Oregon. The outlook has improved for the utility's hydro-electric business, which had been slowed by low reservoir levels due to drought. Our gas utilities were led by WGL Holdings Inc., the parent company of Washington Gas Light Co., which serves metropolitan Washington, D.C. and surrounding regions in Virginia and Maryland. CONSUMER DISCRETIONARY, MATERIALS STOCKS DETRACT Consumer discretionary businesses dampened our absolute results the most. Within retailers, one of our largest detractors was Family Dollar Stores, Inc. The national discount store chain was hurt by high gasoline prices, which exact a toll on lower-income consumers, and initiatives in urban areas that have failed to meet expectations. Specialty retailers Foot Locker, Inc., and The Gap, Inc. were also down for the period. Our largest detractor was Bemis Co., Inc., a major producer of flexible packaging, much of it for the food industry. Higher energy prices greatly increased the cost of resin, Bemis' key raw material, while lower-then-expected demand limited the company's ability to pass through the higher expenses to customers. In all of these cases, we believe the issues affecting these companies are manageable and have maintained our positions. LOOKING AHEAD We will continue to adhere to our discipline of seeking well-managed companies that appear to be temporarily undervalued for reasons unrelated to their fundamental or financial health.

For the six months ended September 30, 2005, Small Cap Value gained 7.89%*, slightly underperforming the 8.44% return posted by its benchmark, the S&P SmallCap 600/BARRA Value Index. Small Cap Value's long-term performance has been strong. Since the portfolio's July 31, 1998, inception, it has posted an average annual return of 16.16%, far outpacing the 11.26% return posted by its benchmark for the same period. EQUITIES HOLD FIRM Equity investors faced substantial challenges during the six months covered by this report, a period largely defined by rising short-term interest rates and the resurgent price of oil, which peaked at a new record above $70 a barrel amid concern about supply disruption following Hurricane Katrina. Speculation about the impact of higher interest rates and energy prices on economic vitality and corporate profits frequently pressured the market. Nevertheless, a host of strong earnings reports and merger announcements helped stocks remain aloft. Ultimately, the equities market demonstrated considerable resilience, rebounding from troughs to secure gains. ENERGY: THE TOP CONTRIBUTOR Small Cap Value's investments in the energy sector delivered the greatest contributions to performance as companies across the sector advanced alongside prices for crude. Nearly all of our holdings averaged powerful, double-digit gains, and only a few of these were present in the benchmark. One standout performer was driller Helmerich & Payne, Inc., a top contributor that was exclusive to the portfolio. During the period, the company reported that higher prices both for oil and for its land rigs contributed to substantially increased income. News that one of its platform rigs in the Gulf Coast sustained major damage from Hurricane Katrina did little to arrest the stock's advance.

(continued) - ------ 19 Small Cap Value - Portfolio Commentary SUCCESS IN TECHNOLOGY, FINANCIALS The information technology sector also significantly augmented results, with positions in the software industry registering particularly strong performances. We held several advancing names, including long-time holding Sybase, Inc., which finished as the top-contributing stock. Sybase, an enterprise software company, announced better-than-expected second-quarter earnings, driven by robust licensing revenue in its database business and growth in its wireless business -- its new mobile-content service debuted on the Blackberry wireless device -- developments for which investors rewarded the stock. Financials, on average our largest sector stake, represented another source of strength. Insurance companies paced gains in the group, while security selection among real estate investment trusts -- REITs -- proved rewarding. Maguire Properties, which owns and operates office space, announced improved quarterly figures twice during the period. Although the share price suffered a sharp decline in August, the stock quickly recovered to finish with strong gains. CONSUMER STOCKS SLOW PERFORMANCE Despite those successes, we nevertheless experienced some difficulties along the way. Investments in the consumer discretionary sector dampened returns the most, and specialty retailer Pier 1 Imports was the top-detracting stock. Despite aggressive pricing and advertising campaigns, the company reported disappointing sales, eventually recording losses amid tepid consumer response to new merchandising initiatives. Consumer staples stocks also slowed performance slightly. Although we maintained limited exposure in this area, some holdings still struggled. Company-specific developments took down American Italian Pasta Co., which announced in early August that it would delay reporting its quarterly results pending the outcome of an internal assessment of its accounting procedures. OUR COMMITMENT We remain committed to our discipline of seeking fundamentally sound, attractively priced companies that we believe offer investors the potential for long-term reward.

(2) Affiliated Company: the fund's holding represents ownership of 5% or more of the voting securities of the company; therefore, the company is affiliated as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940. (See Note 5 in Notes to Financial Statements.) (3) Category is less than 0.05% of net assets. See Notes to Financial Statements. - ------ 24 Shareholder Fee Examples (Unaudited) 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 April 1, 2005 to September 30, 2005 (except as noted). ACTUAL EXPENSES The table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses for each class. You may use the information, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. First, identify the share class you own. Then simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number under the heading "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. If you hold Investor Class shares of any American Century fund, or Institutional Class shares of the American Century Diversified Bond Fund, in an American Century account (i.e., not a financial intermediary or retirement plan account), American Century may charge you a $12.50 semiannual account maintenance fee if the value of those shares is less than $10,000. We will redeem shares automatically in one of your accounts to pay the $12.50 fee. In determining your total eligible investment amount, we will include your investments in all PERSONAL ACCOUNTS (including American Century Brokerage accounts) registered under your Social Security number. PERSONAL ACCOUNTS include individual accounts, joint accounts, UGMA/UTMA accounts, personal trusts, Coverdell Education Savings Accounts and IRAs (including traditional, Roth, Rollover, SEP-, SARSEP- and SIMPLE-IRAs), and certain other retirement accounts. If you have only business, business retirement, employer-sponsored or American Century Brokerage accounts, you are currently not subject to this fee. We will not charge the fee as long as you choose to manage your accounts exclusively online. If you are subject to the Account Maintenance Fee, your account value could be reduced by the fee amount. HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES The table also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual expense ratio of each class of your fund and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the actual return of a fund's share class. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this infor- (continued) - ------ 24 Shareholder Fee Examples (Unaudited) mation 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.

ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES ORGANIZATION -- American Century Capital Portfolios, Inc. (the corporation) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the 1940 Act) as an open-end management investment company. Equity Income Fund (Equity Income), Mid Cap Value Fund (Mid Cap Value) and Small Cap Value Fund (Small Cap Value) (collectively, the funds) are three funds in a series issued by the corporation. The funds are diversified under the 1940 Act. Equity Income's investment objective is the production of current income; capital appreciation is a secondary objective. Equity Income pursues its investment objective by investing in securities of companies with a favorable income-paying history that have prospects for income payments to continue or increase. Mid Cap Value and Small Cap Value's investment objective is long-term capital growth. The production of income is a secondary objective. Mid Cap Value seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing in stocks of mid-sized market capitalization companies that management believes to be undervalued at the time of purchase. Small Cap Value seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing in stocks of smaller market capitalization companies that management believes to be undervalued at the time of purchase. The following is a summary of the funds' significant accounting policies. MULTIPLE CLASS -- Equity Income is authorized to issue the Investor Class, the Institutional Class, the Advisor Class, the C Class, and the R Class. Mid Cap Value is authorized to issue the Investor Class, the Institutional Class, the Advisor Class, and the R Class. Small Cap Value is authorized to issue the Investor Class, the Institutional Class, the Advisor Class, and the C Class. The C Class may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge. The share classes differ principally in their respective sales charges and shareholder servicing and distribution expenses and arrangements. All shares of each 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 funds are allocated to each class of shares based on their relative net assets. Sale of Mid Cap Value's Institutional Class, Advisor Class, and R Class commenced on August 2, 2004, January 13, 2005, and July 29, 2005, respectively. SECURITY VALUATIONS -- Securities traded primarily on a principal securities exchange are valued at the last reported sales price, or at the mean of the latest bid and asked prices where no last sales price is available. Depending on local convention or regulation, securities traded over-the-counter are valued at the mean of the latest bid and asked prices, the last sales price, or the official close price. Debt securities not traded on a principal securities exchange are valued through a commercial pricing service or at the mean of the most recent bid and asked prices. Discount notes may be valued through a commercial pricing service or at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. If the funds determine that the market price of a portfolio security is not readily available, or that the valuation methods mentioned above do not reflect the security's fair value, such security is valued at its fair value as determined by, or in accordance with procedures adopted by, the Board of Directors or its designee if such fair value determination would materially impact a fund's net asset value. Circumstances that may cause the funds to fair value a security include: an event occurred after the close of the exchange on which a portfolio security principally trades (but before the close of the New York Stock Exchange) that was likely to have changed the value of the security; a security has been declared in default; or trading in a security has been halted during the trading day. 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 -- Dividend income less foreign taxes withheld, if any, is recorded as of the ex-dividend date. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital and capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. The funds estimate the components of distributions received that may be considered nontaxable distributions or capital gain distributions for income tax purposes. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis and includes accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums. FUTURES AND OPTIONS CONTRACTS -- The funds may enter into futures contracts and purchase put options in order to manage the funds' exposure to changes in market conditions. One of the risks of entering into futures contracts and options is the possibility that the change in value of the contract may not correlate with the changes in value of the underlying securities. Options purchased by the funds are accounted for in the same manner as marketable portfolio securities. The proceeds from securities sold through the exercise of put options are decreased by the premium paid to purchase the put options. (continued) - ------ 34 Notes to Financial Statements SEPTEMBER 30, 2005 (UNAUDITED) 1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) Upon entering into a futures contract, the funds are required to deposit either cash or securities in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the contract value (initial margin). Subsequent payments (variation margin) are made or received daily, in cash, by the funds. The variation margin is equal to the daily change in the contract value and is recorded as unrealized gains and losses. The funds recognize a realized gain or loss when the contract is closed or expires. Net realized and unrealized gains or losses occurring during the holding period of futures contracts are a component of realized gain (loss) on investment transactions and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments, respectively. EQUITY-LINKED DEBT AND LINKED-EQUITY SECURITIES -- The funds may invest in hybrid equity securities, which usually convert into common stock at a date predetermined by the issuer. These securities generally offer a higher dividend yield than that of the common stock to which the security is linked. These instruments are issued by a company other than the one to which the security is linked and carry the credit of the issuer, not that of the underlying common stock. The securities' appreciation is limited based on a predetermined final cap price at the date of the conversion. Risks of investing in these securities include, but are not limited to, a set time to capture the yield advantage, limited appreciation potential, decline in value of the underlying stock, and failure of the issuer to pay dividends or to deliver common stock at maturity. EXCHANGE TRADED FUNDS -- The funds may invest in exchange traded funds (ETFs). ETFs are a type of index fund bought and sold on a securities exchange. An ETF trades like common stock and represents a fixed portfolio of securities designed to track the performance and dividend yield of a particular domestic or foreign market index. A fund may purchase an ETF to temporarily gain exposure to a portion of the U.S. or a foreign market while awaiting purchase of underlying securities. The risks of owning an ETF generally reflect the risks of owning the underlying securities they are designed to track, although the lack of liquidity on an ETF could result in it being more volatile. Additionally, ETFs have management fees, which increase their cost. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS -- All assets and liabilities initially expressed in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at prevailing exchange rates at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, dividend and interest income, and certain expenses are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. For assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities, net realized and unrealized gains and losses from foreign currency translations arise from changes in currency exchange rates. Net realized and unrealized foreign currency exchange gains or losses occurring during the holding period of investment securities are a component of realized gain (loss) on investment transactions and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments, respectively. Certain countries may impose taxes on the contract amount of purchases and sales of foreign currency contracts in their currency. The funds record the foreign tax expense, if any, as a reduction to the net realized gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions. FORWARD FOREIGN CURRENCY EXCHANGE CONTRACTS -- The funds may enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts to facilitate transactions of securities denominated in a foreign currency or to hedge the funds' exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. The net U.S. dollar value of foreign currency underlying all contractual commitments held by the funds and the resulting unrealized appreciation or depreciation are determined daily using prevailing exchange rates. The funds bear the risk of an unfavorable change in the foreign currency exchange rate underlying the forward contract. Additionally, losses may arise if the counterparties do not perform under the contract terms. REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS -- The funds may enter into repurchase agreements with institutions that American Century Investment Management, Inc. (ACIM) (the investment advisor) has determined are creditworthy pursuant to criteria adopted by the Board of Directors. Each repurchase agreement is recorded at cost. Each fund requires that the collateral, represented by securities, received in a repurchase transaction be transferred to the custodian in a manner sufficient to enable each fund to obtain those securities in the event of a default under the repurchase agreement. ACIM monitors, on a daily basis, the securities transferred to ensure the value, including accrued interest, of the securities under each repurchase agreement is equal to or greater than amounts owed to each fund under each repurchase agreement. JOINT TRADING ACCOUNT -- Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission, each fund, along with other registered investment companies having management agreements with ACIM or American Century Global Investment Management, Inc. (ACGIM), may transfer uninvested cash balances into a joint trading account. These balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Agency obligations. (continued) - ------ 35 Notes to Financial Statements SEPTEMBER 30, 2005 (UNAUDITED) 1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) INCOME TAX STATUS -- It is each 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 federal or state income taxes. DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS -- Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions from net investment income are 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 funds. In addition, in the normal course of business, the funds enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The funds' maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the funds. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered by management to be remote. USE OF ESTIMATES -- 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. 2. FEES AND TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES MANAGEMENT FEES -- The corporation has entered into a Management Agreement with ACIM, under which ACIM provides the funds 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 the funds, except brokerage commissions, taxes, interest, fees and expenses of those directors who are not considered "interested persons" as defined in the 1940 Act (including counsel fees) and extraordinary expenses, will be paid by ACIM. The fee is computed and accrued daily based on the daily net assets of each specific class of shares of each fund and paid monthly in arrears. For funds with a stepped fee schedule, the rate of the fee is determined by applying a fee rate calculation formula. This formula takes into account all of the investment advisor's assets under management in each fund's investment strategy (strategy assets) to calculate the appropriate fee rate for each fund. The strategy assets include each fund's assets and the assets of other clients of the investment advisor that are not in the American Century family of funds, but that have the same investment team and investment strategy. The annual management fee schedule for each class of Equity Income is as follows: INVESTOR, C & R INSTITUTIONAL ADVISOR - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- STRATEGY ASSETS - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- First $2.5 billion 1.00% 0.80% 0.75% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $2.5 billion 0.95% 0.75% 0.70% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $5 billion 0.90% 0.70% 0.65% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $5 billion 0.85% 0.65% 0.60% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Over $15 billion 0.80% 0.60% 0.55% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The annual management fee schedule for each class of Mid Cap Value is 1.00%, 0.80%, 0.75% and 1.00% for the Investor Class, Institutional Class, Advisor Class and R Class, respectively. The annual management fee schedule for each class of Small Cap Value is as follows: INVESTOR & C INSTITUTIONAL ADVISOR - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- STRATEGY ASSETS - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- First $2.5 billion 1.25% 1.05% 1.00% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Over $2.5 billion 1.00% 0.80% 0.75% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (continued) - ------ 36 Notes to Financial Statements SEPTEMBER 30, 2005 (UNAUDITED) 2. FEES AND TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES (CONTINUED) The effective annual management fee for each class of the funds for the six months ended September 30, 2005, was as follows: - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- EQUITY MID CAP SMALL CAP INCOME VALUE VALUE - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Investor 0.98% 1.00% 1.25% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Institutional 0.78% 0.80% 1.05% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Advisor 0.73% 0.75% 1.00% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- C 0.98% N/A 1.25% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- R 0.98% 1.00% N/A - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE FEES -- The Board of Directors has adopted a Master Distribution and Shareholder Services Plan for the Advisor Class (the Advisor Class plan) and a separate Master Distribution and Individual Shareholder Services Plan for each of the C Class and R Class (collectively with the Advisor Class Plan, the plans), pursuant to Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act. The plans provide that the Advisor Class and C Class will pay American Century Investment Services, Inc. (ACIS) the following annual distribution and service fees: - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ADVISOR C - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Distribution Fee 0.25% 0.75% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Service Fee 0.25% 0.25% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The plans provide that the R Class will pay ACIS an annual distribution and service fee of 0.50%. The fees are computed and accrued daily based on each class's daily net assets and paid monthly in arrears. The distribution fee provides compensation for expenses incurred in connection with distributing shares of the classes including, but not limited to, payments to brokers, dealers, and financial institutions that have entered into sales agreements with respect to shares of the funds. The service fee provides compensation for shareholder and administrative services rendered by ACIS, its affiliates or independent third party providers for Advisor Class shares and for individual shareholder services rendered by broker/dealers or other independent financial intermediaries for C Class and R Class shares. Fees incurred under the plans during the six months ended September 30, 2005, are detailed in the Statement of Operations. During the six months ended September 30, 2005, classes in Equity Income that received reimbursements of distribution and service fees were as follows: - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ADVISOR C R - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Distribution Fee $332 $172 $318(1) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Service Fee -- $51 -- - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (1) R Class is a distribution and service fee. During the six months ended September 30, 2005, the C Class in Small Cap Value received reimbursements of its distribution fees and service fees of $173 and $47, respectively. RELATED PARTIES -- Certain officers and directors of the corporation are also officers and/or directors, and, as a group, controlling stockholders of American Century Companies, Inc. (ACC), the parent of the corporation's investment advisor, ACIM, the distributor of the corporation, ACIS, and the corporation's transfer agent, American Century Services, LLC. The funds have a bank line of credit agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank (JPMCB). JPMCB is a custodian of the funds and a wholly owned subsidiary of J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. (JPM). JPM is an equity investor in ACC. 3.

(2) Non-income producing. (continued) - ------ 40 Notes to Financial Statements SEPTEMBER 30, 2005 (UNAUDITED) 6. BANK LINE OF CREDIT The funds, along with certain other funds managed by ACIM or ACGIM, have a $575,000,000 unsecured bank line of credit agreement with JPMCB. The funds may borrow money for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions. Borrowings under the agreement bear interest at the Federal Funds rate plus 0.50%. The funds did not borrow from the line during the six months ended September 30, 2005. 7. RISK FACTORS Small Cap Value generally invests in smaller companies which may be more volatile, and subject to greater short-term risk than those of larger companies. 8. FEDERAL TAX INFORMATION The character of distributions made during the year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. These differences reflect the differing character of certain income items and net realized gains and losses for financial statement and tax purposes, and may result in reclassification among certain capital accounts on the financial statements. As of September 30, 2005, the components of investments for federal income tax purposes were as follows: - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- EQUITY INCOME MID CAP VALUE SMALL CAP VALUE - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Federal tax cost of investments $5,039,980,892 $101,491,422 $1,867,941,331 ================================================================================ Gross tax appreciation of investments $378,576,273 $ 2,389,274 $312,190,566 - ------------------------- Gross tax depreciation of investments (118,782,164) (3,872,968) (64,161,874) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net tax appreciation (depreciation) of investments $259,794,109 $(1,483,694) $248,028,692 ================================================================================ The difference between book-basis and tax-basis cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales and return of capital dividends received. Equity Income and Mid Cap Value had $8,503,709 and $28,102, respectively, of currency loss deferrals incurred in the five-month period ended March 31, 2005. The funds have elected to treat such losses as having been incurred in the following fiscal year for federal income tax purposes.

See Notes to Financial Statements. - ------ 54 Approval of Management Agreements for Equity Income and Small Cap Value Under Section 15(c) of the Investment Company Act, contracts for investment advisory services are required to be reviewed, evaluated and approved by a majority of a fund's independent directors (the "Directors") each year. At American Century, this process -- referred to as the "15(c) Process" -- involves at least two board meetings spanning a 30 to 60 day period each year. In addition to this annual review, the board of directors and its committees oversee and evaluate at quarterly meetings the nature and quality of significant services the advisor performs on behalf of the fund. At these meetings the board reviews fund performance, shareholder services and feedback, audit and compliance information, and a variety of other reports from the advisor concerning fund operations. The board, or committees of the board, also hold special meetings, as needed. Under a new Securities and Exchange Commission rule, each fund is required to disclose in its annual or semiannual report, as appropriate, the material factors and conclusions that formed the basis for its board's approval or renewal of any advisory agreements within the fund's most recently completed fiscal half-year period. ANNUAL CONTRACT REVIEW PROCESS As part of the annual 15(c) Process undertaken during the most recent fiscal half-year, the Directors requested and received extensive data and information compiled by the advisor and certain independent providers of evaluative data (the "Independent 15(c) Providers") concerning Equity Income and Small Cap Value (collectively, the "funds") and the services provided to the funds under the management agreement. The information included, but was not limited to: * the nature, extent and quality of investment management, shareholder services and other services provided to the funds under the management agreement; * reports on the advisor's activities relating to the wide range of programs and services the advisor provides to the funds and its shareholders on a routine and non-routine basis; * data comparing the cost of owning the funds to the cost of owning similar funds; * data comparing the funds' performance to appropriate benchmarks and/or a peer group of other mutual funds with similar investment objectives and strategies; * financial data showing the profitability of the funds to the advisor and the overall profitability of the advisor; and * data comparing services provided and charges to other investment management clients of the advisor. In keeping with its practice, the funds' board of directors held two regularly scheduled meetings and two special meetings to review and discuss the information provided by the advisor and the Independent 15(c) Providers and to complete its negotiations with the advisor regarding the renewal of the management agreement, including the setting of the applicable advisory fee. In addition, the independent directors met on several occasions in (continued) - ------ 55 Approval of Management Agreements for Equity Income and Small Cap Value private session to review and discuss the information provided and evaluate the advisor's performance as manager of the funds. FACTORS CONSIDERED The Directors considered all of the information provided by the advisor, the Independent 15(c) Providers, and its independent counsel and evaluated such information for each fund for which the board has responsibility. The Directors did not identify any single factor as being all-important or controlling, and each Director may have attributed different levels of importance to different factors. In deciding to renew the agreement under the terms ultimately determined by the board to be appropriate, the Directors' decision was based on the following factors. NATURE, EXTENT AND QUALITY OF SERVICES -- GENERALLY. Under the management agreement, the advisor is responsible for providing or arranging for all services necessary for the operation of the funds. The board noted that under the management agreement, the advisor provides or arranges at its own expense a wide variety of services including, but not limited to: * fund construction and design * portfolio security selection * initial capitalization/funding * securities trading * custody of fund assets * daily valuation of the funds' portfolios * shareholder servicing and transfer agency, including shareholder confirmations, recordkeeping and communications * legal services * regulatory and portfolio compliance * financial reporting * marketing and distribution The Directors noted that many of these services have expanded over time both in terms of quantity and complexity in response to shareholder demands, competition in the industry and the changing regulatory environment. In performing their evaluation, the Directors considered information received in connection with the annual review, as well as information provided on an ongoing basis at their regularly scheduled board and committee meetings.

The nature of the investment management services provided is quite complex and allows fund shareholders access to professional money management, instant diversification of their investments within an asset class, the opportunity to easily diversify among asset classes, and liquidity. In evaluating investment performance, the board expects the advisor to manage the funds in accordance with its investment objective and approved strategies. In providing these services, the advisor utilizes teams of investment professionals (portfolio managers, analysts, research assistants, and securities traders) who require extensive information technology, research, training, compliance and other systems to conduct their business. At each quarterly meeting the Directors review investment performance information for the funds, together with comparative information for appropriate benchmarks and a peer group of funds (continued) - ------ 56 Approval of Management Agreements for Equity Income and Small Cap Value managed similarly to the funds. If performance concerns are identified, the Directors discuss with the advisor and its portfolio managers the reasons for such results (e.g., market conditions, security selection) and any efforts being undertaken to improve performance. Annually, the Directors review detailed performance information, as provided by the Independent 15(c) Providers, comparing the funds' performance with that of similar funds not managed by the advisor. Equity Income's and Small Cap Value's performance was above the median of its peer group for the one year period. For the three year period, Equity Income's performance was above the median of its peer group and Small Cap Value's performance was below the median. The Directors discussed Small Cap Value's performance with the advisor and was satisfied with the efforts being undertaken by the advisor. The Directors will continue to monitor those efforts and the performance of the funds. SHAREHOLDER AND OTHER SERVICES. The advisor provides the funds with a comprehensive package of transfer agency, shareholder, and other services. The Directors review reports and evaluations of such services at its regular quarterly meetings, including the annual meeting concerning contract review. These reports include, but are not limited to, information regarding the operational efficiency and accuracy of the shareholder and transfer agency services provided, staffing levels, shareholder satisfaction (as measured by external as well as internal sources), technology support, new products and services offered to fund shareholders, securities trading activities, portfolio valuation services, auditing services, and legal and operational compliance activities. Certain aspects of shareholder and transfer agency service level efficiency and the quality of securities trading activities are measured by independent third party providers and are presented in comparison to other fund groups not managed by the advisor. COSTS OF SERVICES PROVIDED AND PROFITABILITY TO THE ADVISOR. The advisor provides detailed information concerning its cost of providing various services to the funds, its profitability in managing the funds, its overall profitability, and its financial condition. The Directors have reviewed with the advisor the methodology used to prepare this financial information. This financial information regarding the advisor is considered in order to evaluate the advisor's financial condition, its ability to continue to provide services under the management agreement, and the reasonableness of the current management fee. ETHICS OF THE ADVISOR. The Directors generally considered the advisor's commitment to providing quality services to shareholders and to conducting its business ethically. They noted that the advisor's practices generally meet or exceed industry best practices and that the advisor was not implicated in the industry scandals of 2003 and 2004. ECONOMIES OF SCALE. The Directors review reports provided by the advisor on economies of scale for the complex as a whole and the year-over-year changes in revenue, costs, and profitability. The Directors concluded that (continued) - ------ 57 Approval of Management Agreements for Equity Income and Small Cap Value economies of scale are difficult to measure with precision, particularly on a fund-by-fund basis. This analysis is further complicated by the fact that the advisor is required to make a continuing reinvestment in the business to provide additional content and services for fund shareholders. Accordingly, the Directors also seek to evaluate economies of scale by reviewing other information, such as year-over-year profitability of the advisor generally, the profitability of its management of the funds specifically, the expenses incurred by the advisor in providing various services to the funds, and the breakpoint fees of competitive funds not managed by the advisor. The Directors believe the advisor is appropriately sharing any economies of scale through a competitive fee structure, through breakpoints that reduce fees as the fund increases in size, and through reinvestment in its business to provide shareholders additional content and services. COMPARISON TO OTHER FUNDS' FEES. The funds pay the advisor a single, all-inclusive (or unified) management fee for providing all services necessary for the management and operation of the funds, other than brokerage expenses, taxes, interest, extraordinary expenses, and the fees and expenses of the funds' independent directors (including their independent legal counsel). Under the unified fee structure, the advisor is responsible for providing all investment advisory, custody, audit, administrative, compliance, recordkeeping, marketing and shareholder services, or arranging and supervising third parties to provide such services. By contrast, most other fund groups are charged a variety of fees, including an investment advisory fee, a transfer agency fee, an administrative fee, distribution charges and other expenses. Other than their investment advisory fees and Rule 12b-1 distribution fees, all other components of the total fees charged by these other fund groups may be increased without shareholder approval. The board believes the unified fee structure is a benefit to fund shareholders because it clearly discloses to shareholders the cost of owning fund shares, and, since the unified fee cannot be increased without a vote of fund shareholders, it shifts to the advisor the increased costs of operating the funds and the risk of administrative inefficiencies. Part of the Directors' analysis of fee levels involves comparing the funds' unified fee to the total expense ratio of other funds in the funds' peer group. The unified fee charged to shareholders of Equity Income and Small Cap Value were below the median of the total expense ratios of their peer groups. COMPARISON TO FEES AND SERVICES PROVIDED TO OTHER CLIENTS OF THE ADVISOR. The Directors also requested and received information from the advisor concerning the nature of the services, fees, and profitability of its advisory services to advisory clients other than the funds. They observed that these varying types of client accounts require different services and involve different regulatory and entrepreneurial risks than the management of the funds. The Directors analyzed this information and concluded that the fees charged and services provided to the funds were reasonable by comparison. (continued) - ------ 58 Approval of Management Agreements for Equity Income and Small Cap Value COLLATERAL BENEFITS DERIVED BY THE ADVISOR. The Directors reviewed information from the advisor concerning collateral benefits it receives as a result of its relationship with the funds. They concluded that the advisor's primary business is managing mutual funds and it generally does not use fund or shareholder information to generate profits in other lines of business, and therefore does not derive any significant collateral benefits from them. The Directors noted that the advisor receives proprietary research from broker dealers that execute fund portfolio transactions and concluded that this research is likely to benefit fund shareholders. The Directors also determined that the advisor is able to provide investment management services to clients other than the funds, at least in part, due to its existing infrastructure built to serve the fund complex. The Directors concluded, however, that the assets of those other clients are modest in comparison to the funds and that, in any event, the addition of such other assets to the assets of the funds that use substantially the same investment management team and strategy to determine whether breakpoints have been achieved captures for the shareholders a portion of any benefit that exists by accelerating fee reductions as breakpoints are reached at lower fund asset levels. CONCLUSIONS OF THE DIRECTORS As a result of this process, the Directors, assisted by the advice of legal counsel that is independent of the advisor, taking into account all of the factors discussed above and the information provided by the advisor and the Independent 15(c) Providers: (i) concluded that the investment management agreement between Equity Income and the advisor is fair and reasonable in light of the services provided and should be renewed; and (ii) negotiated changes to the breakpoint schedule used to calculate the management fee of Small Cap Value. These changes were proposed by the Directors based on their review of the competitive changes in the mutual fund marketplace and their review of financial information provided by the advisor. The new schedule, effective July 29, 2005, will accelerate management fee reductions at lower asset levels than under the existing structure. Following these negotiations with the advisor, the Directors concluded that the investment management agreement between Small Cap Value and the advisor, amended as described above, is fair and reasonable in light of the services provided and should be renewed. - ------ 59 Share Class Information Five classes of shares are authorized for sale by Equity Income: Investor Class, Institutional Class, Advisor Class, C Class, and R Class.

Tax will be withheld on the total amount withdrawn even though you may be receiving amounts that are not subject to withholding, such as nondeductible contributions. In such case, excess amounts of withholding could occur. You may adjust your withholding election so that a greater or lesser amount will be withheld. If you don't want us to withhold on this amount, you must notify us to not withhold the federal income tax. Even if you plan to roll over the amount you withdraw to another tax-deferred account, the withholding rate still applies to the withdrawn amount unless we have received notice not to withhold federal income tax prior to the withdrawal. You may notify us in writing or in certain situations by telephone or through other electronic means. You have the right to revoke your withholding election at any time and any election you make may remain in effect until revoked by filing a new election. Remember, even if you elect not to have income tax withheld, you are liable for paying income tax on the taxable portion of your withdrawal. If you elect not to have income tax withheld or you don't have enough income tax withheld, you may be responsible for payment of estimated tax. You may incur penalties under the estimated tax rules if your withholding and estimated tax payments are not sufficient. State tax will be withheld if, at the time of your distribution, your address is within one of the mandatory withholding states and you have federal income tax withheld. State taxes will be withheld from your distribution in accordance with the respective state rules.

Value gained 2.03%(1) for the six months ended September 30, 2005, trailing the Lipper Multi-Cap Value Index, which was up 5.56%. The S&P 500 Index, representative of the broad market, gained 5.02%. The Russell 3000 Value Index, indicative of the value side of the stock market, was up 5.85%. Value's long-term performance has been strong. From the fund's inception on September 1, 1993, Value has produced an average annualized total return of 12.24%, significantly ahead of the 10.62%(2) figure posted by the Lipper Multi-Cap Value Index, the S&P 500's 10.40%(2) return and the Russell 3000 Value Index's 11.68%(2) figure. MARKET ENVIRONMENT Equity investors faced substantial challenges during the period covered by this report, including rising short-term interest rates, record energy prices, an abrupt drop in consumer confidence and one of the worst natural catastrophes in the nation's history. Growth stocks generally performed better than value shares and investors continued their preference for lower-quality stocks, both of which presented challenges for Value, which generally invests in higher-quality value stocks. SUCCESS IN INDUSTRIALS Industrial stocks proved to be Value's largest contributors to absolute performance. Our investments included Republic Services, Inc., one of the country's leading solid waste management firms. Despite higher fuel costs, the company posted strong second-quarter numbers, and raised its financial guidance for the year. In addition, Republic Services continued to return more cash to shareholders by announcing a 17% increase in its dividend and continuing a strong share buyback program. In the electrical equipment space, Emerson Electric Co. was an important contributor.

(continued) - ------ 4 Value - Portfolio Commentary variety of electrical products for industrial customers, saw orders increase strongly in August. STRENGTH IN ENERGY Value's energy sector holdings leaned toward integrated oil companies, and BP plc, Unocal Corp. and Exxon Mobil were significant contributors. Each of these companies delivered exceptionally strong results as they generally benefited from rapidly rising oil and gas prices, and widened margins for refinery and chemical segments. Unocal also received takeover proposals from Chevron Corp. and CNOOC Limited, an affiliate of China National Offshore Oil Co. The company was purchased by Chevron in August. FINANCIALS ADD VALUE Value's financial stocks were paced by the insurance industry. American International Group, Inc. (AIG) was our top contributor for the period. AIG, the world's largest insurer, continues to rebound after falling sharply amid regulatory and accounting investigations earlier in the year. CONSUMER DISCRETIONARY, MATERIALS STOCKS DETRACT Consumer discretionary businesses dampened our absolute results the most. Within multiline retailers, one of our largest detractors was Family Dollar Stores, Inc. The national discount chain was hurt by high gasoline prices, which exact a toll on lower-income consumers, and initiatives in urban areas that have failed to meet expectations. Elsewhere in retailing, Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., which also serves a low-income customer base, was similarly affected. In media, The New York Times Co. saw ad sales decline as national advertisers shifted their spending to other media. In materials, high energy and raw material prices dampened the results of chemical companies like E.I. du Pont de Nemours & Co., one of our largest detractors, and container companies such as Bemis Co., Inc., a major producer of flexible packaging for the food industry. In all of these cases, we believe the issues affecting these companies are manageable and have maintained our positions. LOOKING AHEAD We will continue to adhere to our discipline of seeking seasoned, well-managed companies whose shares appear to be undervalued for reasons unrelated to the firms' fundamental or financial health.

Large Company Value's long-term performance against its benchmark has been solid. Since the portfolio's July 30, 1999, inception, it has posted an average annual return of 6.19%, outperforming both the Russell 1000 Value Index and the S&P 500, which returned 4.85% and 0.28%, respectively. EQUITIES HOLD FIRM Equity investors faced substantial challenges during the six months covered by this report, a period largely defined by rising short-term interest rates and the resurgent price of oil, which peaked at a new record above $70 a barrel amid concern about supply disruption following Hurricane Katrina. Speculation about the impact of higher interest rates and energy prices on economic vitality and corporate profits frequently pressured the market. Still, a host of strong earnings reports and merger announcements helped Stocks remain aloft. Ultimately, the equities market demonstrated considerable resilience, rebounding from troughs to secure gains. In that environment, Large Company Value produced overall gains in all but two of the sectors in which it was invested. ENERGY: THE TOP ABSOLUTE CONTRIBUTOR Large Company Value's interest in the energy sector, a position devoted entirely to the oil and gas industry, contributed the most to performance during the period. Soaring oil prices underpinned gains for numerous firms across the industry, and each of our holdings advanced. Major, integrated energy companies ConocoPhillips, Exxon Mobil Corp., Chevron Corp., and Royal Dutch Shell plc all ranked among the portfolio's top contributors. Nevertheless, many of the strongest performers in the sector did not meet our value criteria. For example, energy TOP TEN HOLDINGS AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 2005 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- % OF % OF NET ASSETS NET ASSETS AS OF AS OF 9/30/05 3/31/05 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Citigroup Inc. 4.6% 4.4% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Exxon Mobil Corp. 4.5% 4.3% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bank of America Corp. 3.2% 3.2% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Freddie Mac 3.1% 3.4% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Royal Dutch Shell plc ADR 2.8% 2.6% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ConocoPhillips 2.2% 1.7% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chevron Corp. 2.2% 1.8% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- J.P.

(continued) - ------ 11 Large Company Value - Portfolio Commentary equipment and services companies recorded powerful gains, but were too richly valued by our standards to merit inclusion in the portfolio. Consequently, our relatively smaller exposure to the energy sector as a whole contributed to our overall underperformance versus our benchmark. TECHNOLOGY, FINANCIALS LEND SUPPORT Investments in the information technology sector generated a lift for the portfolio. During the period, Hewlett-Packard, a top-contributing stock, announced two consecutive quarters of increased revenues, with particularly strong growth in its software and enterprise storage and servers business segments. After each announcement, investors rewarded the stock, which steadily trended higher over the course of the six months. We also found success in the financials sector, on average our largest single stake. Insurance companies paced gains in the group, producing two more top contributors in Loews Corp. and Hartford Financial Services. In April, Hartford recorded its most profitable quarter ever driven by strength in its property and casualty insurance segment, where innovative technologies helped the firm maintain competitive pricing. SOME DISAPPOINTMENTS Despite those successes, we suffered some setbacks, one of which emerged from the financials sector. Freddie Mac, the top-detracting stock, continued to struggle amid proposals for legislation to increase regulation of government-sponsored enterprises, or GSEs. We also encountered some difficulty in the materials group, the top sector-level detractor in absolute terms. Diversified chemicals company PPG Industries, Inc. declined, despite announcements from the company that it had booked record-setting sales in its first and second quarters. Still, we have conviction in both firms' long-term prospects and have maintained our positions. OUR COMMITMENT The Large Company Value investment team will continue to follow its strategy of searching for large, fundamentally sound businesses that, because of transitory issues, are selling at prices we believe are below fair market value.

See Notes to Financial Statements. - ------ 14 Shareholder Fee Examples (Unaudited) 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 April 1, 2005 to September 30, 2005 (except as noted). ACTUAL EXPENSES The table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses for each class. You may use the information, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. First, identify the share class you own. Then simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number under the heading "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. If you hold Investor Class shares of any American Century fund, or Institutional Class shares of the American Century Diversified Bond Fund, in an American Century account (i.e., not a financial intermediary or retirement plan account), American Century may charge you a $12.50 semiannual account maintenance fee if the value of those shares is less than $10,000. We will redeem shares automatically in one of your accounts to pay the $12.50 fee. In determining your total eligible investment amount, we will include your investments in all PERSONAL ACCOUNTS (including American Century Brokerage accounts) registered under your Social Security number. PERSONAL ACCOUNTS include individual accounts, joint accounts, UGMA/UTMA accounts, personal trusts, Coverdell Education Savings Accounts and IRAs (including traditional, Roth, Rollover, SEP-, SARSEP- and SIMPLE-IRAs), and certain other retirement accounts. If you have only business, business retirement, employer-sponsored or American Century Brokerage accounts, you are currently not subject to this fee. We will not charge the fee as long as you choose to manage your accounts exclusively online. If you are subject to the Account Maintenance Fee, your account value could be reduced by the fee amount. HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES The table also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual expense ratio of each class of your fund and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the actual return of a fund's share class. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. (continued) - ------ 15 Shareholder Fee Examples (Unaudited) 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. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- EXPENSES PAID BEGINNING ENDING DURING PERIOD(1) ANNUALIZED ACCOUNT VALUE ACCOUNT VALUE 4/1/05 - EXPENSE 4/1/05 9/30/05 9/30/05 RATIO(1) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- VALUE SHAREHOLDER FEE EXAMPLE - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ACTUAL - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Investor Class $1,000 $1,020.30 $5.01 0.99% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Institutional Class $1,000 $1,021.40 $4.00 0.79% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Advisor Class $1,000 $1,019.00 $6.28 1.24% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A Class $1,000 $1,019.00 $6.28 1.24% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- B Class $1,000 $1,015.20 $10.05 1.99% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- C Class $1,000 $1,015.30 $10.05 1.99% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- R Class $1,000 $ 977.30(2) $2.54(3) 1.49% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- HYPOTHETICAL - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Investor Class $1,000 $1,020.10 $5.01 0.99% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Institutional Class $1,000 $1,021.11 $4.00 0.79% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Advisor Class $1,000 $1,018.85 $6.28 1.24% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A Class $1,000 $1,018.85 $6.28 1.24% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- B Class $1,000 $1,015.09 $10.05 1.99% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- C Class $1,000 $1,015.09 $10.05 1.99% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- R Class $1,000 $1,017.60(4) $7.54(4) 1.49% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (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 183, the number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year, divided by 365, to reflect the one-half year period.

------ 21 Notes to Financial Statements SEPTEMBER 30, 2005 (UNAUDITED) 1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES ORGANIZATION -- American Century Capital Portfolios, Inc. (the corporation) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the 1940 Act) as an open-end management investment company. Value Fund (Value) and Large Company Value Fund (Large Company Value) (collectively, the funds) are two funds in a series issued by the corporation. The funds are diversified under the 1940 Act. The funds' investment objectives are long-term capital growth. The production of income is a secondary objective. The funds seek to achieve their investment objective by investing in stocks of companies that management believes to be undervalued at the time of purchase. Value invests in companies with small, medium, and large market capitalization and Large Company Value invests in companies with larger market capitalization. The following is a summary of the funds' significant accounting policies. MULTIPLE CLASS -- The funds are authorized to issue the Investor Class, the Institutional Class, the Advisor Class, the A Class, the B Class, the C Class and the R Class. The A Class may incur an initial sales charge. The A Class, B Class and C Class may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge. The share classes differ principally in their respective sales charges and shareholder servicing and distribution expenses and arrangements. All shares of each 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 funds are allocated to each class of shares based on their relative net assets. Sale of Value's R Class commenced on July 29, 2005. SECURITY VALUATIONS -- Securities traded primarily on a principal securities exchange are valued at the last reported sales price, or at the mean of the latest bid and asked prices where no last sales price is available. Depending on local convention or regulation, securities traded over-the-counter are valued at the mean of the latest bid and asked prices, the last sales price, or the official close price. Debt securities not traded on a principal securities exchange are valued through a commercial pricing service or at the mean of the most recent bid and asked prices. Discount notes may be valued through a commercial pricing service or at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. If the funds determine that the market price of a portfolio security is not readily available, or that the valuation methods mentioned above do not reflect the security's fair value, such security is valued at its fair value as determined by, or in accordance with procedures adopted by, the Board of Directors or its designee if such fair value determination would materially impact a fund's net asset value. Circumstances that may cause the funds to fair value a security include: an event occurred after the close of the exchange on which a portfolio security principally trades (but before the close of the New York Stock Exchange) that was likely to have changed the value of the security; a security has been declared in default; or trading in a security has been halted during the trading day. 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 -- Dividend income less foreign taxes withheld, if any, is recorded as of the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis and includes accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums. SECURITIES ON LOAN -- Value may lend portfolio securities through its lending agent to certain approved borrowers in order to earn additional income. Value continues to recognize any gain or loss in the market price of the securities loaned and record any interest earned or dividends declared. OPTIONS CONTRACTS -- The funds may purchase put options in order to manage the funds' exposure to changes in market conditions. One of the risks of entering into options 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 proceeds from securities sold through the exercise of put options are decreased by the premium paid to purchase the put options. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS -- All assets and liabilities initially expressed in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at prevailing exchange rates at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, dividend and interest income, and certain expenses are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. For assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities, net realized and unrealized gains and losses from foreign currency translations arise from changes in currency exchange rates. Net realized and unrealized foreign currency exchange gains or losses occurring during the holding period of investment securities are a (continued) - ------ 22 Notes to Financial Statements SEPTEMBER 30, 2005 (UNAUDITED) 1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) component of realized gain (loss) on investment transactions and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments, respectively. Certain countries may impose taxes on the contract amount of purchases and sales of foreign currency contracts in their currency. The funds record the foreign tax expense, if any, as a reduction to the net realized gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions. FORWARD FOREIGN CURRENCY EXCHANGE CONTRACTS -- The funds may enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts to facilitate transactions of securities denominated in a foreign currency or to hedge the funds' exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. The net U.S. dollar value of foreign currency underlying all contractual commitments held by the funds and the resulting unrealized appreciation or depreciation are determined daily using prevailing exchange rates. The funds bear the risk of an unfavorable change in the foreign currency exchange rate underlying the forward contract. Additionally, losses may arise if the counterparties do not perform under the contract terms. REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS -- The funds may enter into repurchase agreements with institutions that American Century Investment Management, Inc. (ACIM) (the investment advisor) has determined are creditworthy pursuant to criteria adopted by the Board of Directors. Each repurchase agreement is recorded at cost. Each fund requires that the collateral, represented by securities, received in a repurchase transaction be transferred to the custodian in a manner sufficient to enable each fund to obtain those securities in the event of a default under the repurchase agreement. ACIM monitors, on a daily basis, the securities transferred to ensure the value, including accrued interest, of the securities under each repurchase agreement is equal to or greater than amounts owed to each fund under each repurchase agreement. JOINT TRADING ACCOUNT -- Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission, each fund, along with other registered investment companies having management agreements with ACIM or American Century Global Investment Management, Inc. (ACGIM), may transfer uninvested cash balances into a joint trading account. These balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Agency obligations. INCOME TAX STATUS -- It is each 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 federal or state income taxes. DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS -- Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions from net investment income are 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 funds. In addition, in the normal course of business, the funds enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The funds' maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the funds. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered by management to be remote. USE OF ESTIMATES -- 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. (continued) - ------ 23 Notes to Financial Statements SEPTEMBER 30, 2005 (UNAUDITED) 2. FEES AND TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES MANAGEMENT FEES -- The corporation has entered into a Management Agreement with ACIM, under which ACIM provides the funds 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 the funds, except brokerage commissions, taxes, interest, fees and expenses of those directors who are not considered "interested persons" as defined in the 1940 Act (including counsel fees) and extraordinary expenses, will be paid by ACIM. The fee is computed and accrued daily based on the daily net assets of each specific class of shares of each fund and paid monthly in arrears. For funds with a stepped fee schedule, the rate of the fee is determined by applying a fee rate calculation formula. This formula takes into account all of the investment advisor's assets under management in each fund's investment strategy (strategy assets) to calculate the appropriate fee rate for each fund. The strategy assets include each fund's assets and the assets of other clients of the investment advisor that are not in the American Century family of funds, but that have the same investment team and investment strategy. The annual management fee schedule for each class of Value is as follows: - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- INVESTOR, A, B, C & R INSTITUTIONAL ADVISOR - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- STRATEGY ASSETS - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- First $2.5 billion 1.00% 0.80% 0.75% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $2.5 billion 0.95% 0.75% 0.70% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $2.5 billion 0.90% 0.70% 0.65% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Over $7.5 billion 0.85% 0.65% 0.60% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The annual management fee schedule for each class of Large Company Value is as follows: - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- INVESTOR, A, B, C & R INSTITUTIONAL ADVISOR - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- STRATEGY ASSETS - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- First $1 billion 0.90% 0.70% 0.65% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $4 billion 0.80% 0.60% 0.55% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Over $5 billion 0.70% 0.50% 0.45% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For the six months ended September 30, 2005, the effective annual management fee for each class of each fund was as follows: - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- INVESTOR, A, B, C & R INSTITUTIONAL ADVISOR - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Value 0.99% 0.79% 0.74% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Large Company Value 0.84% 0.64% 0.59% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (continued) - ------ 24 Notes to Financial Statements SEPTEMBER 30, 2005 (UNAUDITED) 2. FEES AND TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES (CONTINUED) DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE FEES -- The Board of Directors has adopted a Master Distribution and Shareholder Services Plan for the Advisor Class (the Advisor Class plan) and a separate Master Distribution and Individual Shareholder Services Plan for each of the A Class, B Class, C Class and R Class (collectively with the Advisor Class Plan, the plans), pursuant to Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act. The plans provide that the Advisor Class, B Class and C Class will pay American Century Investment Services, Inc. (ACIS) the following annual distribution and service fees: - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ADVISOR B & C - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Distribution Fee 0.25% 0.75% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Service Fee 0.25% 0.25% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The plans provide that the A Class and the R Class will pay ACIS an annual distribution and service fee of 0.25% and 0.50%, respectively. The fees are computed and accrued daily based on each class's daily net assets and paid monthly in arrears. The distribution fee provides compensation for expenses incurred in connection with distributing shares of the classes including, but not limited to, payments to brokers, dealers, and financial institutions that have entered into sales agreements with respect to shares of the funds. The service fee provides compensation for shareholder and administrative services rendered by ACIS, its affiliates or independent third party providers for Advisor Class shares and for individual shareholder services rendered by broker/dealers or other independent financial intermediaries for A, B, C and R Class shares. Fees incurred under the plans during the six months ended September 30, 2005, are detailed in the Statement of Operations. RELATED PARTIES -- Certain officers and directors of the corporation are also officers and/or directors, and, as a group, controlling stockholders of American Century Companies, Inc. (ACC), the parent of the corporation's investment advisor, ACIM, the distributor of the corporation, ACIS, and the corporation's transfer agent, American Century Services, LLC. The funds have a bank line of credit agreement and Value has a securities lending agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank (JPMCB). JPMCB is a custodian of the funds and a wholly owned subsidiary of J.P.

SECURITIES LENDING As of September 30, 2005, securities in Value valued at $226,934,474 were on loan through the lending agent, JPMCB, to certain approved borrowers. JPMCB receives and maintains collateral in the form of cash, and/or acceptable securities as approved by ACIM. Cash collateral is invested in authorized investments by the lending agent in a pooled account. The value of cash collateral received at period end is disclosed in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and investments made with the cash by the lending agent are listed in the Schedule of Investments. Any deficiencies or excess of collateral must be delivered or transferred by the member firms no later than the close of business on the next business day. The total value of all collateral received, at this date, was $229,480,546. Value's risks in securities lending are that the borrower may not provide additional collateral when required or return the securities when due. If the borrower defaults, receipt of the collateral by Value may be delayed or limited. 6. BANK LINE OF CREDIT The funds, along with certain other funds managed by ACIM or ACGIM, have a $575,000,000 unsecured bank line of credit agreement with JPMCB. The funds may borrow money for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions. Borrowings under the agreement bear interest at the Federal Funds rate plus 0.50%. The funds did not borrow from the line during the six months ended September 30, 2005. (continued) - ------ 28 Notes to Financial Statements SEPTEMBER 30, 2005 (UNAUDITED) 7. FEDERAL TAX INFORMATION The character of distributions made during the year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. These differences reflect the differing character of certain income items and net realized gains and losses for financial statement and tax purposes, and may result in reclassification among certain capital accounts on the financial statements. As of September 30, 2005, the components of investments for federal income tax purposes were as follows: - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- LARGE VALUE COMPANY VALUE - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Federal tax cost of investments $3,043,959,975 $1,679,800,714 ================================================================================ Gross tax appreciation of investments $ 166,523,349 $189,463,556 - -------------------------------------- Gross tax depreciation of investments (115,358,748) (36,876,721) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net tax appreciation (depreciation) of investments $ 51,164,601 $152,586,835 ================================================================================ The difference between book-basis and tax-basis cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales. As of March 31, 2005, Value had currency loss deferrals of $6,495,058, which represent net foreign currency losses incurred in the five-month period ended March 31, 2005. Value has elected to treat such losses as having been incurred in the following fiscal year for federal income tax purposes. - ------ 29 Value - Financial Highlights FOR A SHARE OUTSTANDING THROUGHOUT THE YEARS ENDED MARCH 31 (EXCEPT AS NOTED) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- INVESTOR CLASS - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2005(1) 2005 2004 2003 2002 2001 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PER-SHARE DATA - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net Asset Value, Beginning of Period $7.31 $7.72 $5.61 $7.19 $6.27 $5.35 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Income From Investment Operations - ------------------------------- Net Investment Income(2) 0.07 0.09 0.09 0.07 0.08 0.10 - ------------------------------- Net Realized and Unrealized Gain (Loss) 0.08 0.64 2.18 (1.48) 1.03 0.92 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total From Investment Operations 0.15 0.73 2.27 (1.41) 1.11 1.02 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Distributions - ------------------------------- From Net Investment Income (0.05) (0.09) (0.08) (0.07) (0.08) (0.10) - ------------------------------- From Net Realized Gains -- (1.05) (0.08) (0.10) (0.11) -- - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total Distributions (0.05) (1.14) (0.16) (0.17) (0.19) (0.10) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net Asset Value, End of Period $7.41 $7.31 $7.72 $5.61 $7.19 $6.27 ======================================================================================================== TOTAL RETURN(3) 2.03% 9.95% 40.66% (19.85)% 17.96% 19.20% RATIOS/SUPPLEMENTAL DATA - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ratio of Operating Expenses to Average Net Assets 0.99%(4) 0.99% 1.00% 1.00% 1.00% 1.00% - ------------------------------- Ratio of Net Investment Income to Average Net Assets 1.82%(4) 1.16% 1.26% 1.19% 1.11% 1.71% - ------------------------------- Portfolio Turnover Rate 72% 130% 122% 102% 151% 150% - ------------------------------- Net Assets, End of Period (in thousands) $2,284,048 $2,315,507 $2,152,265 $1,552,632 $2,068,901 $1,532,113 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (1) Six months ended September 30, 2005 (unaudited).

The total return of the classes may not precisely reflect the class expense differences because of the impact of calculating the net asset values to two decimal places. If net asset values were calculated to three decimal places, the total return differences would more closely reflect the class expense differences. The calculation of net asset values to two decimal places is made in accordance with SEC guidelines and does not result in any gain or loss of value between one class and another. (5) Annualized. (6) During the year ended March 31, 2005, the class received a partial reimbursement of its distribution and service fee. Had fees not been reimbursed, the ratio of operating expenses to average net assets and ratio of net investment income to average net assets would have been 1.37% and 1.40%, respectively.

See Notes to Financial Statements. - ------ 43 Approval of Management Agreements for Value and Large Company Value Under Section 15(c) of the Investment Company Act, contracts for investment advisory services are required to be reviewed, evaluated and approved by a majority of a fund's independent directors (the "Directors") each year. At American Century, this process -- referred to as the "15(c) Process" -- involves at least two board meetings spanning a 30 to 60 day period each year. In addition to this annual review, the board of directors and its committees oversee and evaluate at quarterly meetings the nature and quality of significant services the advisor performs on behalf of the fund. At these meetings the board reviews fund performance, shareholder services and feedback, audit and compliance information, and a variety of other reports from the advisor concerning fund operations. The board, or committees of the board, also hold special meetings, as needed. Under a new Securities and Exchange Commission rule, each fund is required to disclose in its annual or semiannual report, as appropriate, the material factors and conclusions that formed the basis for its board's approval or renewal of any advisory agreements within the fund's most recently completed fiscal half-year period. ANNUAL CONTRACT REVIEW PROCESS As part of the annual 15(c) Process undertaken during the most recent fiscal half-year, the Directors requested and received extensive data and information compiled by the advisor and certain independent providers of evaluative data (the "Independent 15(c) Providers") concerning Value and Large Company Value (collectively, the "funds") and the services provided to the funds under the management agreement. The information included, but was not limited to: * the nature, extent and quality of investment management, shareholder services and other services provided to the funds under the management agreement; * reports on the advisor's activities relating to the wide range of programs and services the advisor provides to the funds and its shareholders on a routine and non-routine basis; * data comparing the cost of owning the funds to the cost of owning similar funds; * data comparing the funds' performance to appropriate benchmarks and/or a peer group of other mutual funds with similar investment objectives and strategies; * financial data showing the profitability of the funds to the advisor and the overall profitability of the advisor; and * data comparing services provided and charges to other investment management clients of the advisor. In keeping with its practice, the funds' board of directors held two regularly scheduled meetings and two special meetings to review and discuss the information provided by the advisor and the Independent 15(c) Providers and to complete its negotiations with the advisor regarding the renewal of the management agreement, including the setting of the applicable advisory fee. In addition, the independent directors met on several occasions in private session to review and discuss the information provided and evaluate the advisor's performance as manager of the funds. (continued) - ------ 44 Approval of Management Agreements for Value and Large Company Value FACTORS CONSIDERED The Directors considered all of the information provided by the advisor, the Independent 15(c) Providers, and its independent counsel and evaluated such information for each fund for which the board has responsibility. The Directors did not identify any single factor as being all-important or controlling, and each Director may have attributed different levels of importance to different factors. In deciding to renew the agreement under the terms ultimately determined by the board to be appropriate, the Directors' decision was based on the following factors. NATURE, EXTENT AND QUALITY OF SERVICES -- GENERALLY. Under the management agreement, the advisor is responsible for providing or arranging for all services necessary for the operation of the funds. The board noted that under the management agreement, the advisor provides or arranges at its own expense a wide variety of services including, but not limited to: * fund construction and design * portfolio security selection * initial capitalization/funding * securities trading * custody of fund assets * daily valuation of the funds' portfolios * shareholder servicing and transfer agency, including shareholder confirmations, recordkeeping and communications * legal services * regulatory and portfolio compliance * financial reporting * marketing and distribution The Directors noted that many of these services have expanded over time both in terms of quantity and complexity in response to shareholder demands, competition in the industry and the changing regulatory environment. In performing their evaluation, the Directors considered information received in connection with the annual review, as well as information provided on an ongoing basis at their regularly scheduled board and committee meetings. INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT SERVICES. The nature of the investment management services provided is quite complex and allows fund shareholders access to professional money management, instant diversification of their investments within an asset class, the opportunity to easily diversify among asset classes, and liquidity. In evaluating investment performance, the board expects the advisor to manage the funds in accordance with its investment objective and approved strategies. In providing these services, the advisor utilizes teams of investment professionals (portfolio managers, analysts, research assistants, and securities traders) who require extensive information technology, research, training, compliance and other systems to conduct their business. At each quarterly meeting the Directors review investment performance information for the funds, together with comparative information for appropriate benchmarks and a peer group of funds managed similarly to the funds. If performance concerns are identified, the Directors discuss with the advisor and its portfolio managers the reasons for such results (e.g., market conditions, security selection) and any efforts (continued) - ------ 45 Approval of Management Agreements for Value and Large Company Value being undertaken to improve performance. Annually, the Directors review detailed performance information, as provided by the Independent 15(c) Providers, comparing the funds' performance with that of similar funds not managed by the advisor. During the past year, Value's performance was near the median of its peer group and Large Company Value's performance was above the median. For the three year period, both Value's and Large Company Value's performance was above the median of their peer groups. SHAREHOLDER AND OTHER SERVICES. The advisor provides the funds with a comprehensive package of transfer agency, shareholder, and other services. The Directors review reports and evaluations of such services at its regular quarterly meetings, including the annual meeting concerning contract review. These reports include, but are not limited to, information regarding the operational efficiency and accuracy of the shareholder and transfer agency services provided, staffing levels, shareholder satisfaction (as measured by external as well as internal sources), technology support, new products and services offered to fund shareholders, securities trading activities, portfolio valuation services, auditing services, and legal and operational compliance activities. Certain aspects of shareholder and transfer agency service level efficiency and the quality of securities trading activities are measured by independent third party providers and are presented in comparison to other fund groups not managed by the advisor. COSTS OF SERVICES PROVIDED AND PROFITABILITY TO THE ADVISOR. The advisor provides detailed information concerning its cost of providing various services to the funds, its profitability in managing the funds, its overall profitability, and its financial condition. The Directors have reviewed with the advisor the methodology used to prepare this financial information. This financial information regarding the advisor is considered in order to evaluate the advisor's financial condition, its ability to continue to provide services under the management agreement, and the reasonableness of the current management fee. ETHICS OF THE ADVISOR. The Directors generally considered the advisor's commitment to providing quality services to shareholders and to conducting its business ethically. They noted that the advisor's practices generally meet or exceed industry best practices and that the advisor was not implicated in the industry scandals of 2003 and 2004. ECONOMIES OF SCALE. The Directors review reports provided by the advisor on economies of scale for the complex as a whole and the year-over-year changes in revenue, costs, and profitability. The Directors concluded that economies of scale are difficult to measure with precision, particularly on a fund-by-fund basis. This analysis is further complicated by the fact that the advisor is required to make a continuing reinvestment in the business to provide additional content and services for fund shareholders. Accordingly, the Directors also seek to evaluate economies of scale by reviewing other information, such as year-over-year profitability of the advisor generally, the profitability of its management of the funds specifically, the expenses incurred by the advisor in providing (continued) - ------ 46 Approval of Management Agreements for Value and Large Company Value various services to the funds, and the breakpoint fees of competitive funds not managed by the advisor. The Directors believe the advisor is appropriately sharing any economies of scale through a competitive fee structure, through breakpoints that reduce fees as the fund increases in size, and through reinvestment in its business to provide shareholders additional content and services. COMPARISON TO OTHER FUNDS' FEES. The funds pay the advisor a single, all-inclusive (or unified) management fee for providing all services necessary for the management and operation of the funds, other than brokerage expenses, taxes, interest, extraordinary expenses, and the fees and expenses of the funds' independent directors (including their independent legal counsel). Under the unified fee structure, the advisor is responsible for providing all investment advisory, custody, audit, administrative, compliance, recordkeeping, marketing and shareholder services, or arranging and supervising third parties to provide such services. By contrast, most other fund groups are charged a variety of fees, including an investment advisory fee, a transfer agency fee, an administrative fee, distribution charges and other expenses. Other than their investment advisory fees and Rule 12b-1 distribution fees, all other components of the total fees charged by these other fund groups may be increased without shareholder approval. The board believes the unified fee structure is a benefit to fund shareholders because it clearly discloses to shareholders the cost of owning fund shares, and, since the unified fee cannot be increased without a vote of fund shareholders, it shifts to the advisor the increased costs of operating the funds and the risk of administrative inefficiencies. Part of the Directors' analysis of fee levels involves comparing the funds' unified fee to the total expense ratio of other funds in the funds' peer group. The unified fee charged to shareholders of each fund was below the median of the total expense ratios of its peer group. COMPARISON TO FEES AND SERVICES PROVIDED TO OTHER CLIENTS OF THE ADVISOR. The Directors also requested and received information from the advisor concerning the nature of the services, fees, and profitability of its advisory services to advisory clients other than the funds. They observed that these varying types of client accounts require different services and involve different regulatory and entrepreneurial risks than the management of the funds. The Directors analyzed this information and concluded that the fees charged and services provided to the funds were reasonable by comparison. COLLATERAL BENEFITS DERIVED BY THE ADVISOR. The Directors reviewed information from the advisor concerning collateral benefits it receives as a result of its relationship with the funds. They concluded that the advisor's primary business is managing mutual funds and it generally does not use fund or shareholder information to generate profits in other lines of business, and therefore does not derive any significant collateral benefits from them. The Directors noted that the advisor receives proprietary research from broker dealers that execute fund portfolio transactions and concluded that this research is likely to benefit fund shareholders. The Directors also (continued) - ------ 47 Approval of Management Agreements for Value and Large Company Value determined that the advisor is able to provide investment management services to clients other than the funds, at least in part, due to its existing infrastructure built to serve the fund complex. The Directors concluded, however, that the assets of those other clients are modest in comparison to the funds and that, in any event, the addition of such other assets to the assets of the funds that use substantially the same investment management team and strategy to determine whether breakpoints have been achieved captures for the shareholders a portion of any benefit that exists by accelerating fee reductions as breakpoints are reached at lower fund asset levels. CONCLUSIONS OF THE DIRECTORS As a result of this process, the Directors, assisted by the advice of legal counsel that is independent of the advisor, taking into account all of the factors discussed above and the information provided by the advisor and the Independent 15(c) Providers: (i) concluded that the investment management agreement between Large Company Value and the advisor is fair and reasonable in light of the services provided and should be renewed; and (ii) negotiated changes to the breakpoint schedule used to calculate the management fee of Value. These changes were proposed by the Directors based on their review of the competitive changes in the mutual fund marketplace and their review of financial information provided by the advisor. The new schedule, effective July 29, 2005, will accelerate management fee reductions at lower asset levels than under the existing structure. Following these negotiations with the advisor, the Directors concluded that the investment management agreement between Value and the advisor, amended as described above, is fair and reasonable in light of the services provided and should be renewed. - ------ 48 Share Class Information Seven classes of shares are authorized for sale by the funds: Investor Class, Institutional Class, Advisor Class, A Class, B Class, C Class and R Class.

Tax will be withheld on the total amount withdrawn even though you may be receiving amounts that are not subject to withholding, such as nondeductible contributions. In such case, excess amounts of withholding could occur. You may adjust your withholding election so that a greater or lesser amount will be withheld. If you don't want us to withhold on this amount, you must notify us to not withhold the federal income tax. Even if you plan to roll over the amount you withdraw to another tax-deferred account, the withholding rate still applies to the withdrawn amount unless we have received notice not to withhold federal income tax prior to the withdrawal. You may notify us in writing or in certain situations by telephone or through other electronic means. You have the right to revoke your withholding election at any time and any election you make may remain in effect until revoked by filing a new election. Remember, even if you elect not to have income tax withheld, you are liable for paying income tax on the taxable portion of your withdrawal. If you elect not to have income tax withheld or you don't have enough income tax withheld, you may be responsible for payment of estimated tax. You may incur penalties under the estimated tax rules if your withholding and estimated tax payments are not sufficient. State tax will be withheld if, at the time of your distribution, your address is within one of the mandatory withholding states and you have federal income tax withheld. State taxes will be withheld from your distribution in accordance with the respective state rules.

PERFORMANCE SUMMARY For the six months ended September 30, 2005, Equity Index returned 4.93%*, compared with the 5.02% return of the benchmark it tracks, the S&P 500 Index. The portfolio's results reflect operating expenses, whereas the index return does not. STOCK MARKET REVIEW U.S. stocks posted positive results during the six-month period despite a series of challenges. Obstacles facing the market included soaring oil prices, which rose to a record high of more than $70 a barrel; four short-term interest rate hikes by the Federal Reserve, which boosted short-term rates to their highest level in more than four years; and two destructive hurricanes that wreaked havoc along the Gulf Coast. On the positive side, many public companies reported profit growth that exceeded expectations, extending the S&P 500's streak of double-digit earnings growth to 12 consecutive quarters. In addition, the economy continued to grow at a solid 3-4% annual rate, and merger activity increased markedly. For the six months, the large-cap S&P 500 returned 5.02%, while the small- and mid-cap market benchmarks posted even better results. Value stocks generally maintained their dominance over growth during the period--the S&P 500/ BARRA Value Index returned 6.11%, while the S&P 500/BARRA Growth Index returned 3.92%. ENERGY AND UTILITIES SOARED Continuing a trend that began in early 2004, the energy and utilities sectors posted the highest total returns. Seven of the top 20 contributors to fund performance were energy stocks, which gained more than 20% as a group during the six-month period. The top individual contributors included Exxon Mobil, the portfolio's largest holding, and ConocoPhillips, which returned 31%. In the utilities sector, electric utility TXU remained the top performer, gaining 44%. After hiring a new CEO in early 2004, TXU has restructured its operations by selling off underperforming assets, paying down debt, and raising its dividend. The end result has been a 400% return over the past two years. TECHNOLOGY AND FINANCIALS GAINED Other sectors that performed well during the six-month period were two TOP TEN HOLDINGS AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 2005 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- % OF % OF NET ASSETS NET ASSETS AS OF AS OF 9/30/05 3/31/05 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Exxon Mobil Corp. 3.6% 3.5% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- General Electric Co. 3.2% 3.5% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Microsoft Corporation 2.1% 2.2% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Citigroup Inc. 2.1% 2.1% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Johnson & Johnson 1.7% 1.8% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pfizer, Inc. 1.6% 1.8% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bank of America Corp. 1.5% 1.6% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- American International Group, Inc. 1.4% 1.3% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Altria Group Inc. 1.4% 1.2% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Procter & Gamble Co.

The advance in technology stocks was led by communications equipment companies, including cell phone maker Motorola, wireless technology company QUALCOMM, and fiber optics manufacturer Corning. The best individual performance contributor in the technology sector was Hewlett-Packard, which reported better-than-expected earnings thanks to renewed profitability in the company's PC and server businesses. In the financial sector, insurance companies performed best as hurricane damage costs were offset by strong balance sheets and the likelihood of higher premiums. American International Group was the top contributor as the company's main business emerged largely unscathed from an accounting investigation that forced out the company's top executives in late 2004. The fund's top individual contributor to performance was biotechnology firm Amgen. The company reported earnings that exceeded expectations by a wide margin and raised full-year profit guidance as sales of its flagship drugs rose sharply. ECONOMICALLY SENSITIVE SECTORS DECLINED Only three sectors of the portfolio produced negative returns for the period--materials, consumer discretionary, and industrials. The materials sector posted the sharpest declines, largely because of chemicals stocks. DuPont and Dow Chemical were among the biggest detractors from fund performance; both companies sustained costly hurricane damage to manufacturing plants along the Gulf Coast. In the consumer discretionary sector, media stocks detracted the most from performance, led by entertainment purveyor Walt Disney and cable operator Comcast. Discount retailers in the consumer discretionary and consumer staples sectors--such as Family Dollar and Dollar General, as well as the portfolio's biggest detractor, Wal-Mart--also declined as higher gas prices adversely impacted their customer base. The major industrial conglomerates, including General Electric and Tyco, led the decline in the industrial sector. PORTFOLIO STRATEGY Going forward, the fund will continue to focus on matching, as closely as possible, the investment characteristics and performance of the S&P 500.

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 April 1, 2005 to September 30, 2005. ACTUAL EXPENSES The table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses for each class. You may use the information, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. First, identify the share class you own. Then simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number under the heading "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. If you hold Investor Class shares of any American Century fund, or Institutional Class shares of the American Century Diversified Bond Fund, in an American Century account (i.e., not a financial intermediary or retirement plan account), American Century may charge you a $12.50 semiannual account maintenance fee if the value of those shares is less than $10,000. We will redeem shares automatically in one of your accounts to pay the $12.50 fee. In determining your total eligible investment amount, we will include your investments in all PERSONAL ACCOUNTS (including American Century Brokerage accounts) registered under your Social Security number. PERSONAL ACCOUNTS include individual accounts, joint accounts, UGMA/UTMA accounts, personal trusts, Coverdell Education Savings Accounts and IRAs (including traditional, Roth, Rollover, SEP-, SARSEP- and SIMPLE-IRAs), and certain other retirement accounts. If you have only business, business retirement, employer-sponsored or American Century Brokerage accounts, you are currently not subject to this fee. We will not charge the fee as long as you choose to manage your accounts exclusively online. If you are subject to the Account Maintenance Fee, your account value could be reduced by the fee amount. HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES The table also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual expense ratio of each class of your fund and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the actual return of a fund's share class. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. (continued) - ------ 6 Shareholder Fee Example (Unaudited) 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.

------ 18 Notes to Financial Statements SEPTEMBER 30, 2005 (UNAUDITED) 1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES ORGANIZATION -- American Century Capital Portfolios, Inc. (the corporation) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the 1940 Act) as an open-end management investment company. American Century Equity Index Fund (the fund) is one fund in a series issued by the corporation. The fund is non-diversified under the 1940 Act. The fund's investment objective is long-term capital growth. The fund seeks to achieve this objective by matching, as closely as possible, the investment characteristics and results of the S&P 500 Composite Price Index (S&P 500 Index). The following is a summary of the fund's significant accounting policies. MULTIPLE CLASS -- The fund is authorized to issue the Investor Class and the Institutional Class. The share classes differ principally in their respective shareholder servicing and distribution expenses and arrangements. 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. SECURITY VALUATIONS -- Securities traded primarily on a principal securities exchange are valued at the last reported sales price, or at the mean of the latest bid and asked prices where no last sales price is available. Depending on local convention or regulation, securities traded over-the-counter are valued at the mean of the latest bid and asked prices, the last sales price, or the official close price. Discount notes may be valued through a commercial pricing service or at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. If the fund determines that the market price of a portfolio security is not readily available, or that the valuation methods mentioned above do not reflect the security's fair value, such security is valued at its fair value as determined by, or in accordance with procedures adopted by, the Board of Directors or its designee if such fair value determination would materially impact a fund's net asset value. Circumstances that may cause the fund to fair value a security include: an event occurred after the close of the exchange on which a portfolio security principally trades (but before the close of the New York Stock Exchange) that was likely to have changed the value of the security; a security has been declared in default; or trading in a security has been halted during the trading day. 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 -- Dividend income less foreign taxes withheld, if any, is recorded as of the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis and includes accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums. FUTURES CONTRACTS -- The fund may enter into futures contracts in order to manage the fund's exposure to changes in market conditions. 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. Upon entering into a futures contract, the fund is required to deposit either cash or securities in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the contract value (initial margin). Subsequent payments (variation margin) are made or received daily, in cash, by the fund. The variation margin is equal to the daily change in the contract value and is recorded as unrealized gains and losses. The fund recognizes a realized gain or loss when the contract is closed or expires. Net realized and unrealized gains or losses occurring during the holding period of futures contracts are a component of realized gain (loss) on investment transactions and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments, respectively. REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS -- The fund may enter into repurchase agreements with institutions that American Century Investment Management, Inc. (ACIM) (the investment advisor) has determined are creditworthy pursuant to criteria adopted by the Board of Directors. Each repurchase agreement is recorded at cost. The fund requires that the collateral, represented by securities, received in a repurchase transaction be transferred to the custodian in a manner sufficient to enable the fund to obtain those securities in the event of a default under the repurchase agreement. ACIM monitors, on a daily basis, the securities transferred to ensure the value, including accrued interest, of the securities under each repurchase agreement is equal to or greater than amounts owed to the fund under each repurchase agreement. JOINT TRADING ACCOUNT -- Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the fund, along with other registered investment companies having management agreements with ACIM or American Century Global Investment Management, Inc. (ACGIM), may transfer uninvested cash balances into a joint trading account. These balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Agency obligations. (continued) - ------ 19 Notes to Financial Statements SEPTEMBER 30, 2005 (UNAUDITED) 1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) 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 federal or state income taxes. DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS -- Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions from net investment income are 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 fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered by management to be remote. USE OF ESTIMATES -- 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. 2. 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 the fund, except brokerage commissions, taxes, interest, fees and expenses of those directors who are not considered "interested persons" as defined in the 1940 Act (including counsel fees) and extraordinary expenses, will be paid by ACIM. The fee is computed and accrued daily based on the daily net assets of the specific class of shares of the fund and paid monthly in arrears. For funds with a stepped fee schedule, the rate of the fee is determined by applying a fee rate calculation formula. This formula takes into account all of the investment advisor's assets under management in the fund's investment strategy (strategy assets) to calculate the appropriate fee rate for the fund. The strategy assets include the fund's assets and the assets of other clients of the investment advisor that are not in the American Century family of funds, but that have the same investment team and investment strategy. The annual management fee schedule for each class of the fund is as follows: INVESTOR INSTITUTIONAL CLASS CLASS - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- STRATEGY ASSETS - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- First $1 billion 0.490% 0.290% - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $1 billion 0.470% 0.270% - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $1 billion 0.455% 0.255% - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $1 billion 0.445% 0.245% - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $1 billion 0.435% 0.235% - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Over $5 billion 0.430% 0.230% - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The effective annual management fee for the six months ended September 30, 2005 was 0.49% and 0.29% for the Investor Class and Institutional Class, respectively. ACIM has entered into a Subadvisory Agreement with Barclays Global Fund Advisors (BGFA) on behalf of the fund. The subadvisor makes investment decisions for the fund in accordance with the fund's investment objectives, policies and restrictions under the supervision of ACIM and the Board of Directors.

BANK LINE OF CREDIT The fund, along with certain other funds managed by ACIM or ACGIM, has a $575,000,000 unsecured bank line of credit agreement with JPMCB. The fund may borrow money for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions. Borrowings under the agreement bear interest at the Federal Funds rate plus 0.50%. The fund did not borrow from the line during the six months ended September 30, 2005. 6. FEDERAL TAX INFORMATION The character of distributions made during the year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. These differences reflect the differing character of certain income items and net realized gains and losses for financial statement and tax purposes, and may result in reclassification among certain capital accounts on the financial statements. As of September 30, 2005, the components of investments for federal income tax purposes were as follows: - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Federal tax cost of investments $690,674,425 ================================================================================ Gross tax appreciation of investments $167,538,361 - -------------------------------------------------------------- Gross tax depreciation of investments (66,775,012) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net tax appreciation (depreciation) of investments $100,763,349 ================================================================================ The difference between book-basis and tax-basis cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales. Following are the capital loss carryovers and capital loss deferral amounts as of March 31, 2005: - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Accumulated capital losses $(66,588,425) - ----------------------------------------------------------- Capital loss deferral $ (1,347,843) - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The accumulated capital losses listed above represent net capital loss carryovers that may be used to offset future realized capital gains for federal income tax purposes. The capital loss carryovers expire as follows: - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- $(2,917,398) $(10,639,477) $(49,081,783) $(1,957,751) $(1,992,016) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The capital loss deferral represents net capital losses incurred in the five-month period ended March 31, 2005. The fund has elected to treat such losses as having been incurred in the following fiscal year for federal income tax purposes. - ------ 22 Equity Index - Financial Highlights For a Share Outstanding Throughout the Years Ended March 31 (except as noted) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- INVESTOR CLASS - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2005(1) 2005 2004 2003 2002 2001 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PER-SHARE DATA - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net Asset Value, Beginning of Period $4.70 $4.50 $3.39 $4.58 $4.63 $5.99 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Income From Investment Operations - ------------------ Net Investment Income (Loss)(2) 0.03 0.07 0.05 0.05 0.04 0.05 - ------------------ Net Realized and Unrealized Gain (Loss) 0.19 0.20 1.11 (1.19) (0.05) (1.36) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total From Investment Operations 0.22 0.27 1.16 (1.14) (0.01) (1.31) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Distributions - ------------------ From Net Investment Income (0.03) (0.07) (0.05) (0.05) (0.04) (0.05) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net Asset Value, End of Period $4.89 $4.70 $4.50 $3.39 $4.58 $4.63 ================================================================================ TOTAL RETURN(3) 4.93% 6.04% 34.27% (25.02)% (0.16)% (22.04)% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- RATIOS/SUPPLEMENTAL DATA - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ratio of Operating Expenses to Average Net Assets 0.49%(4) 0.49% 0.49% 0.49% 0.49% 0.49% - ------------------ Ratio of Net Investment Income (Loss) to Average Net Assets 1.32%(4) 1.59% 1.23% 1.24% 0.91% 0.83% - ------------------ Portfolio Turnover Rate 2% 4% 16% 21% 4% 10% - ------------------ Net Assets, End of Period (in thousands) $152,414 $150,454 $142,324 $90,093 $108,760 $71,415 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (1) Six months ended September 30, 2005 (unaudited).

See Notes to Financial Statements. - ------ 24 Approval of Management Agreement for Equity Index Under Section 15(c) of the Investment Company Act, contracts for investment advisory services are required to be reviewed, evaluated and approved by a majority of a fund's independent directors (the "Directors") each year. At American Century, this process -- referred to as the "15(c) Process" -- involves at least two board meetings spanning a 30 to 60 day period each year. In addition to this annual review, the board of directors and its committees oversee and evaluate at quarterly meetings the nature and quality of significant services the advisor performs on behalf of the fund. At these meetings the board reviews fund performance, shareholder services and feedback, audit and compliance information, and a variety of other reports from the advisor concerning fund operations. The board, or committees of the board, also hold special meetings, as needed. Under a new Securities and Exchange Commission rule, each fund is required to disclose in its annual or semiannual report, as appropriate, the material factors and conclusions that formed the basis for its board's approval or renewal of any advisory agreements within the fund's most recently completed fiscal half-year period. ANNUAL CONTRACT REVIEW PROCESS As part of the annual 15(c) Process undertaken during the most recent fiscal half-year, the Directors requested and received extensive data and information compiled by the advisor and certain independent providers of evaluative data (the "Independent 15(c) Providers") concerning Equity Index (the "fund") and the services provided to the fund under the management agreement. The information included, but was not limited to: * the nature, extent and quality of investment management, shareholder services and other services provided to the fund under the management agreement; * reports on the advisor's activities relating to the wide range of programs and services the advisor provides to the fund and its shareholders on a routine and non-routine basis; * data comparing the cost of owning the fund to the cost of owning similar funds; * data comparing the fund's performance to appropriate benchmarks and/or a peer group of other mutual funds with similar investment objectives and strategies; * financial data showing the profitability of the fund to the advisor and the overall profitability of the advisor; and * data comparing services provided and charges to other investment management clients of the advisor. In keeping with its practice, the fund's board of directors held two regularly scheduled meetings and two special meetings to review and discuss the information provided by the advisor and the Independent 15(c) Providers and to complete its negotiations with the advisor regarding the renewal of the management agreement, including the setting of the applicable advisory fee. In addition, the independent directors met on several occasions in private session to review and discuss the information provided and evaluate the advisor's performance as manager of the fund. (continued) - ------ 25 Approval of Management Agreement for Equity Index FACTORS CONSIDERED The Directors considered all of the information provided by the advisor, the Independent 15(c) Providers, and its independent counsel and evaluated such information for each fund for which the board has responsibility. The Directors did not identify any single factor as being all-important or controlling, and each Director may have attributed different levels of importance to different factors. In deciding to renew the agreement under the terms ultimately determined by the board to be appropriate, the Directors' decision was based on the following factors. NATURE, EXTENT AND QUALITY OF SERVICES -- GENERALLY. Under the management agreement, the advisor is responsible for providing or arranging for all services necessary for the operation of the fund. The board noted that under the management agreement, the advisor provides or arranges at its own expense a wide variety of services including, but not limited to: * fund construction and design * portfolio security selection * initial capitalization/funding * securities trading * custody of fund assets * daily valuation of the fund's portfolio * shareholder servicing and transfer agency, including shareholder confirmations, recordkeeping and communications * legal services * regulatory and portfolio compliance * financial reporting * marketing and distribution The Directors noted that many of these services have expanded over time both in terms of quantity and complexity in response to shareholder demands, competition in the industry and the changing regulatory environment. In performing their evaluation, the Directors considered information received in connection with the annual review, as well as information provided on an ongoing basis at their regularly scheduled board and committee meetings. INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT SERVICES. The nature of the investment management services provided is quite complex and allows fund shareholders access to professional money management, instant diversification of their investments within an asset class, the opportunity to easily diversify among asset classes, and liquidity. In evaluating investment performance, the board expects the advisor to manage the fund in accordance with its investment objective and approved strategies. In providing these services, the advisor utilizes teams of investment professionals (portfolio managers, analysts, research assistants, and securities traders) who require extensive information technology, research, training, compliance and other systems to conduct their business. At each quarterly meeting the Directors review investment performance information for the fund, together with comparative information for appropriate benchmarks and a peer group of funds managed similarly to the fund. Further, the Portfolio Committee reports its assessment to the board. If performance concerns are identified, the Directors discuss with the advisor and its portfolio managers the reasons for such results (e.g., (continued) - ------ 26 Approval of Management Agreement for Equity Index market conditions, security selection) and any efforts being undertaken to improve performance. Equity Index's performance fell below its benchmark for both one and three year periods during the past year. The board discussed Equity Index's performance with the advisor and was satisfied with the efforts being undertaken by the advisor SHAREHOLDER AND OTHER SERVICES. The advisor provides the fund with a comprehensive package of transfer agency, shareholder, and other services. The Directors review reports and evaluations of such services at its regular quarterly meetings, including the annual meeting concerning contract review. These reports include, but are not limited to, information regarding the operational efficiency and accuracy of the shareholder and transfer agency services provided, staffing levels, shareholder satisfaction (as measured by external as well as internal sources), technology support, new products and services offered to fund shareholders, securities trading activities, portfolio valuation services, auditing services, and legal and operational compliance activities. Certain aspects of shareholder and transfer agency service level efficiency and the quality of securities trading activities are measured by independent third party providers and are presented in comparison to other fund groups not managed by the advisor. COSTS OF SERVICES PROVIDED AND PROFITABILITY TO THE ADVISOR. The advisor provides detailed information concerning its cost of providing various services to the fund, its profitability in managing the fund, its overall profitability, and its financial condition. The Directors have reviewed with the advisor the methodology used to prepare this financial information. This financial information regarding the advisor is considered in order to evaluate the advisor's financial condition, its ability to continue to provide services under the management agreement, and the reasonableness of the current management fee. ETHICS OF THE ADVISOR. The Directors generally considered the advisor's commitment to providing quality services to shareholders and to conducting its business ethically. They noted that the advisor's practices generally meet or exceed industry best practices and that the advisor was not implicated in the industry scandals of 2003 and 2004. ECONOMIES OF SCALE. The Directors review reports provided by the advisor on economies of scale for the complex as a whole and the year-over-year changes in revenue, costs, and profitability. The Directors concluded that economies of scale are difficult to measure with precision, particularly on a fund-by-fund basis. This analysis is further complicated by the fact that the advisor is required to make a continuing reinvestment in the business to provide additional content and services for fund shareholders. Accordingly, the Directors also seek to evaluate economies of scale by reviewing other information, such as year-over-year profitability of the advisor generally, the profitability of its management of the fund specifically, the expenses incurred by the advisor in providing various services to the fund, and the breakpoint fees of competitive funds not managed by the advisor. The Directors believe the advisor is appropriately (continued) - ------ 27 Approval of Management Agreement for Equity Index sharing any economies of scale through a competitive fee structure, through breakpoints that reduce fees as the fund increases in size, and through reinvestment in its business to provide shareholders additional content and services. COMPARISON TO OTHER FUNDS' FEES. The fund pays the advisor a single, all-inclusive (or unified) management fee for providing all services necessary for the management and operation of the fund, other than brokerage expenses, taxes, interest, extraordinary expenses, and the fees and expenses of the fund's independent directors (including their independent legal counsel). Under the unified fee structure, the advisor is responsible for providing all investment advisory, custody, audit, administrative, compliance, recordkeeping, marketing and shareholder services, or arranging and supervising third parties to provide such services. By contrast, most other fund groups are charged a variety of fees, including an investment advisory fee, a transfer agency fee, an administrative fee, distribution charges and other expenses. Other than their investment advisory fees and Rule 12b-1 distribution fees, all other components of the total fees charged by these other fund groups may be increased without shareholder approval. The board believes the unified fee structure is a benefit to fund shareholders because it clearly discloses to shareholders the cost of owning fund shares, and, since the unified fee cannot be increased without a vote of fund shareholders, it shifts to the advisor the increased costs of operating the funds and the risk of administrative inefficiencies. Part of the Directors' analysis of fee levels involves comparing the fund's unified fee to the total expense ratio of other funds in the benchmark. The unified fee charged to shareholders of the fund was above the median of the total expense ratios of its peer group. COMPARISON TO FEES AND SERVICES PROVIDED TO OTHER CLIENTS OF THE ADVISOR. The Directors also requested and received information from the advisor concerning the nature of the services, fees, and profitability of its advisory services to advisory clients other than the fund. They observed that these varying types of client accounts require different services and involve different regulatory and entrepreneurial risks than the management of the fund. The Directors analyzed this information and concluded that the fees charged and services provided to the fund were reasonable by comparison. COLLATERAL BENEFITS DERIVED BY THE ADVISOR. The Directors reviewed information from the advisor concerning collateral benefits it receives as a result of its relationship with the fund. They concluded that the advisor's primary business is managing mutual funds and it generally does not use the fund or shareholder information to generate profits in other lines of business, and therefore does not derive any significant collateral benefits from them. The Directors noted that the advisor receives proprietary research from broker dealers that execute fund portfolio transactions and concluded that this research is likely to benefit fund shareholders. The Directors also determined that the advisor is able to provide investment management services to clients other than the fund, at least in part, due to its existing infrastructure built to serve the fund complex. The Directors concluded, (continued) - ------ 28 Approval of Management Agreement for Equity Index however, that the assets of those other clients are modest in comparison to the funds and that, in any event, the addition of such other assets to the assets of the funds that use substantially the same investment management team and strategy to determine whether breakpoints have been achieved captures for the shareholders a portion of any benefit that exists by accelerating fee reductions as breakpoints are reached at lower fund asset levels. CONCLUSIONS OF THE DIRECTORS As a result of this process, the independent directors, assisted by the advice of legal counsel that is independent of the advisor, taking into account all of the factors discussed above and the information provided by the advisor and the Independent 15(c) Providers, concluded that the investment management agreement between the fund and the advisor is fair and reasonable in light of the services provided and should be renewed. - ------ 29 Share Class Information Two classes of shares are authorized for sale by the fund: Investor Class and Institutional Class. The total expense ratio of Institutional Class shares is lower than that of Investor Class shares. INVESTOR CLASS shares are available for purchase in two ways: 1) directly from American Century without any commissions or other fees; or 2) through certain financial intermediaries (such as banks, broker-dealers, insurance companies and investment advisors), which may require payment of a transaction fee to the financial intermediary. INSTITUTIONAL CLASS shares are available to large investors such as endowments, foundations, and retirement plans, and to financial intermediaries serving these investors. This class recognizes the relatively lower cost of serving institutional customers and others who invest at least $5 million ($3 million for endowments and foundations) in an American Century fund or at least $10 million in multiple funds. In recognition of the larger investments and account balances and comparatively lower transaction costs, the unified management fee of Institutional Class shares is 0.20% less than the unified management fee of Investor Class shares. All classes of shares represent a pro rata interest in the fund and generally have the same rights and preferences. - ------ 30 Additional Information RETIREMENT ACCOUNT INFORMATION As required by law, any distributions you receive from an IRA or certain 403(b), 457 and qualified plans [those not eligible for rollover to an IRA or to another qualified plan] are subject to federal income tax withholding, unless you elect not to have withholding apply. Tax will be withheld on the total amount withdrawn even though you may be receiving amounts that are not subject to withholding, such as nondeductible contributions. In such case, excess amounts of withholding could occur. You may adjust your withholding election so that a greater or lesser amount will be withheld. If you don't want us to withhold on this amount, you must notify us to not withhold the federal income tax. Even if you plan to roll over the amount you withdraw to another tax-deferred account, the withholding rate still applies to the withdrawn amount unless we have received notice not to withhold federal income tax prior to the withdrawal. You may notify us in writing or in certain situations by telephone or through other electronic means. You have the right to revoke your withholding election at any time and any election you make may remain in effect until revoked by filing a new election. Remember, even if you elect not to have income tax withheld, you are liable for paying income tax on the taxable portion of your withdrawal. If you elect not to have income tax withheld or you don't have enough income tax withheld, you may be responsible for payment of estimated tax. You may incur penalties under the estimated tax rules if your withholding and estimated tax payments are not sufficient. State tax will be withheld if, at the time of your distribution, your address is within one of the mandatory withholding states and you have federal income tax withheld. State taxes will be withheld from your distribution in accordance with the respective state rules.

MARKET REVIEW U.S. stocks posted positive results during the six-month period despite a series of challenges that included soaring oil prices, higher short-term interest rates, and two destructive hurricanes that wreaked havoc along the Gulf Coast. In their favor, many public companies reported profit growth that exceeded expectations, extending the S&P 500's streak of double-digit earnings growth to 12 consecutive quarters. In addition, the economy continued to grow at a solid 3-4% annual rate, and merger activity increased markedly. For the six months, the broad S&P 500 returned 5.02%. Real estate investment trusts (REITs) outperformed the broader market by a wide margin, gaining nearly 20% during the six-month period. Several factors contributed to the outperformance of the REIT sector: (1) REIT dividend yields, which are among the highest in the stock market, grew more attractive as long-term interest rates declined; (2) commercial property values continued to rise; and (3) merger activity picked up, including several private acquisitions of public REITs at premium prices. REITs have posted remarkable gains over the past five years. As of September 30, 2005, the five-year cumulative total return of the MSCI US REIT Index was 140.57%, compared with the -7.22% cumulative total return of the S&P 500 over the same period. Every sector of the REIT market posted double-digit gains during the six-month period. Self-storage REITs were the best performers, and office REITs also performed well. The laggards included hotel and health care REITs.

Total returns for periods less than one year are not annualized. (continued) - ------ 4 Real Estate - Portfolio Commentary PORTFOLIO OVERVIEW The Real Estate fund's hotel holdings contributed positively to absolute performance, but several detracted from relative results. Hotel companies, including both REITs and non-REITs, comprised more than 10% of the portfolio on average during the period, nearly twice that of the index. The most significant detractors from performance were non-REIT hotel stocks such as Hilton Hotels and Starwood Hotels & Resorts, both of which had exposure to hurricane-ravaged New Orleans and the Gulf Coast. An overweight position in Host Marriott also weighed on relative results. Other individual holdings that contributed to the fund's underperformance of the MSCI US REIT Index included an overweight in retail property owner Pennsylvania Real Estate Investment Trust and an underweight in apartment REIT AvalonBay Communities. Lower occupancy rates and dislocation caused by redevelopment activity led to a disappointing earnings report from Penn REIT, while AvalonBay rose by 30% thanks to its focus on the booming housing markets in California and the Northeast, where the need to rent is higher. Despite the missed opportunity in AvalonBay, many of the fund's apartment holdings contributed positively to performance relative to the benchmark. The top contributors included Mid-America Apartment Communities, which revised 2005 earnings forecasts upward, and Gables Residential, which was acquired by private real estate fund ING Clarion Partners at a 14% premium. In the office segment, Arden Realty and Kilroy Realty, two of the largest overweights in the portfolio, were among the top contributors to portfolio performance. Both companies, based in Southern California, maintained high occupancy rates. Arden also benefited from speculation about a possible private buyout of the company. PORTFOLIO STRATEGY Going forward, we intend to maintain our focus on maximizing total return in the real estate and REIT sectors through superior stock selection and risk management.

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 April 1, 2005 to September 30, 2005. ACTUAL EXPENSES The table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses for each class. You may use the information, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. First, identify the share class you own. Then simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number under the heading "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. If you hold Investor Class shares of any American Century fund, or Institutional Class shares of the American Century Diversified Bond Fund, in an American Century account (i.e., not a financial intermediary or retirement plan account), American Century may charge you a $12.50 semiannual account maintenance fee if the value of those shares is less than $10,000. We will redeem shares automatically in one of your accounts to pay the $12.50 fee. In determining your total eligible investment amount, we will include your investments in all PERSONAL ACCOUNTS (including American Century Brokerage accounts) registered under your Social Security number. PERSONAL ACCOUNTS include individual accounts, joint accounts, UGMA/UTMA accounts, personal trusts, Coverdell Education Savings Accounts and IRAs (including traditional, Roth, Rollover, SEP-, SARSEP- and SIMPLE-IRAs), and certain other retirement accounts. If you have only business, business retirement, employer-sponsored or American Century Brokerage accounts, you are currently not subject to this fee. We will not charge the fee as long as you choose to manage your accounts exclusively online. If you are subject to the Account Maintenance Fee, your account value could be reduced by the fee amount. HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES The table also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual expense ratio of each class of your fund and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the actual return of a fund's share class. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. (continued) - ------ 6 Shareholder Fee Example (Unaudited) 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. - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- EXPENSES PAID BEGINNING ENDING DURING PERIOD* ANNUALIZED ACCOUNT VALUE ACCOUNT VALUE 4/1/05 - EXPENSE 4/1/05 9/30/05 9/30/05 RATIO* - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- REAL ESTATE SHAREHOLDER FEE EXAMPLE - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ACTUAL - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Investor Class $1,000 $1,185.20 $6.30 1.15% - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Institutional Class $1,000 $1,186.80 $5.21 0.95% - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Advisor Class $1,000 $1,184.10 $7.67 1.40% - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- HYPOTHETICAL - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Investor Class $1,000 $1,019.30 $5.82 1.15% - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Institutional Class $1,000 $1,020.31 $4.81 0.95% - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Advisor Class $1,000 $1,018.05 $7.08 1.40% - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *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 183, the number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year, divided by 365, to reflect the one-half year period. - ------ 7 Real Estate - Schedule of Investments SEPTEMBER 30, 2005 (UNAUDITED) Shares Value - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- COMMON STOCKS -- 96.3% DIVERSIFIED -- 5.1% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 771,300 Colonial Properties Trust $ 34,307,423 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 625,200 Henderson Land Development Co.

------ 12 Notes to Financial Statements SEPTEMBER 30, 2005 (UNAUDITED) 1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES ORGANIZATION -- American Century Capital Portfolios, Inc. (the corporation) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the 1940 Act) as an open-end management investment company. Real Estate Fund (the fund) is one fund in a series issued by the corporation. The fund is non-diversified under the 1940 Act. The fund's investment objective is long-term capital appreciation. Income is a secondary objective. The fund seeks to achieve its objective by investing primarily in securities issued by real estate investment trusts and in the securities of companies which are principally engaged in the real estate industry. The following is a summary of the fund's significant accounting policies. MULTIPLE CLASS -- The fund is authorized to issue the Investor Class, the Institutional Class and the Advisor Class. The share classes differ principally in their respective shareholder servicing and distribution expenses and arrangements. 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. SECURITY VALUATIONS -- Securities traded primarily on a principal securities exchange are valued at the last reported sales price, or at the mean of the latest bid and asked prices where no last sales price is available. Depending on local convention or regulation, securities traded over-the-counter are valued at the mean of the latest bid and asked prices, the last sales price, or the official close price. Debt securities not traded on a principal securities exchange are valued through a commercial pricing service or at the mean of the most recent bid and asked prices. Discount notes may be valued through a commercial pricing service or at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. If the fund determines that the market price of a portfolio security is not readily available, or that the valuation methods mentioned above do not reflect the security's fair value, such security is valued at its fair value as determined by, or in accordance with procedures adopted by, the Board of Directors or its designee if such fair value determination would materially impact a fund's net asset value. Circumstances that may cause the fund to fair value a security include: an event occurred after the close of the exchange on which a portfolio security principally trades (but before the close of the New York Stock Exchange) that was likely to have changed the value of the security; a security has been declared in default; or trading in a security has been halted during the trading day. 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 -- Dividend income less foreign taxes withheld, if any, is recorded as of the ex-dividend date. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. The fund estimates the components of distributions received that may be considered nontaxable distributions or capital gain distributions for income tax purposes. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis and includes accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS -- All assets and liabilities initially expressed in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at prevailing exchange rates at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, dividend and interest income, and certain expenses are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. For assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities, net realized and unrealized gains and losses from foreign currency translations arise from changes in currency exchange rates. Net realized and unrealized foreign currency exchange gains or losses occurring during the holding period of investment securities are a component of realized gain (loss) on investment transactions and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments, respectively. Certain countries may impose taxes on the contract amount of purchases and sales of foreign currency contracts in their currency. The fund records the foreign tax expense, if any, as a reduction to the net realized gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions. REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS -- The fund may enter into repurchase agreements with institutions that American Century Investment Management, Inc. (ACIM) (the investment advisor) has determined are creditworthy pursuant to criteria adopted by the Board of Directors. Each repurchase agreement is recorded at cost. The fund requires that the collateral, represented by securities, received in a repurchase transaction be transferred to the custodian in a manner sufficient to enable the fund to obtain those securities in the event of a default under the repurchase agreement. ACIM monitors, on a daily basis, the securities transferred to ensure the value, including accrued interest, of (continued) - ------ 13 Notes to Financial Statements SEPTEMBER 30, 2005 (UNAUDITED) 1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) the securities under each repurchase agreement is equal to or greater than amounts owed to the fund under each repurchase agreement. JOINT TRADING ACCOUNT -- Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the fund, along with other registered investment companies having management agreements with ACIM or American Century Global Investment Management, Inc. (ACGIM), may transfer uninvested cash balances into a joint trading account. These balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Agency obligations. 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 federal or state income taxes. DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS -- Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions from net investment income are 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 fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered by management to be remote. USE OF ESTIMATES -- 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. 2. 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 the fund, except brokerage commissions, taxes, interest, fees and expenses of those directors who are not considered "interested persons" as defined in the 1940 Act (including counsel fees) and extraordinary expenses, will be paid by ACIM. The fee is computed and accrued daily based on the daily net assets of the specific class of shares of the fund and paid monthly in arrears. For funds with a stepped fee schedule, the rate of the fee is determined by applying a fee rate calculation formula. This formula takes into account all of the investment advisor's assets under management in the fund's investment strategy (strategy assets) to calculate the appropriate fee rate for the fund. The strategy assets include the fund's assets and the assets of other clients of the investment advisor that are not in the American Century family of funds, but that have the same investment team and investment strategy. (continued) - ------ 14 Notes to Financial Statements SEPTEMBER 30, 2005 (UNAUDITED) 2. FEES AND TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES (CONTINUED) The annual management fee schedule for each class of the fund is as follows: - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- INVESTOR INSTITUTIONAL ADVISOR - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- STRATEGY ASSETS - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- First $100 million 1.20% 1.00% 0.95% - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $900 million 1.15% 0.95% 0.90% - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Next $1 billion 1.10% 0.90% 0.85% - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Over $2 billion 1.05% 0.85% 0.80% - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The effective annual management fee for the six months ended September 30, 2005 was 1.15%, 0.95%, and 0.90% for the Investor, Institutional and Advisor Classes, respectively. DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE FEES -- The Board of Directors has adopted a Master Distribution and Shareholder Services Plan (the plan) for the Advisor Class, pursuant to Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act. The plan provides that the Advisor Class will pay American Century Investment Services, Inc. (ACIS) an annual distribution fee equal to 0.25% and an annual service fee equal to 0.25%. The fees are computed and accrued daily based on the Advisor Class's daily net assets and paid monthly in arrears. The distribution fee provides compensation for expenses incurred by financial intermediaries in connection with distributing shares of the Advisor Class 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. The service fee provides compensation for shareholder and administrative services rendered by ACIS, its affiliates or independent third party providers. Fees incurred under the plan during the six months ended September 30, 2005, are detailed in the Statement of Operations. RELATED PARTIES -- Certain officers and directors of the corporation are also officers and/or directors, and, as a group, controlling stockholders of American Century Companies, Inc. (ACC), the parent of the corporation's investment advisor, ACIM, the distributor of the corporation, ACIS, and the corporation's transfer agent, American Century Services, LLC. ACIM has entered into a Subadvisory Agreement with J.P. Morgan Investment Management, Inc. (JPMIM) on behalf of the fund. The subadvisor makes investment decisions for the fund in accordance with the fund's investment objectives, policies, and restrictions under the supervision of ACIM and the Board of Directors. ACIM pays all costs associated with retaining JPMIM as the subadvisor of the fund. JPMIM is a wholly owned subsidiary of J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. (JPM). JPM is an equity investor in ACC. The fund has a bank line of credit agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank (JPMCB). JPMCB is a custodian of the fund and a wholly owned subsidiary of JPM. 3.

AFFILIATED COMPANY TRANSACTIONS If a fund's holding represents ownership of 5% or more of the voting securities of a company, the company is affiliated as defined in the 1940 Act. A summary of transactions for each company which is or was an affiliate at or during the six months ended September 30, 2005 follows: - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SHARE BALANCE PURCHASE SALES REALIZED DIVIDEND SEPTEMBER 30, 2005 FUND/COMPANY 3/31/05 COST COST GAIN INCOME SHARE BALANCE MARKET VALUE - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ REAL ESTATE - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mid-America Apartment Communities Inc.(1) 805,900 $13,834,559 $17,455,476 $1,545,847 $913,694 717,542 $33,372,878 ================================================================================================================== (1) Company was not an affiliate at September 30, 2005. 6. BANK LINE OF CREDIT The fund, along with certain other funds managed by ACIM or ACGIM, has a $575,000,000 unsecured bank line of credit agreement with JPMCB. The fund may borrow money for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions. Borrowings under the agreement bear interest at the Federal Funds rate plus 0.50%. The fund did not borrow from the line during the six months ended September 30, 2005. 7. RISK FACTORS The fund concentrates its investments in a narrow segment of the total market. Because of this, the fund is subject to certain additional risks as compared to investing in a more diversified portfolio of investments. The fund may be subject to certain risks similar to those associated with direct investment in real estate including but not limited to: local or regional economic conditions, changes in zoning laws, changes in property values, property tax increases, overbuilding, increased competition, environmental contamination, natural disasters, and interest rate risk. 8. FEDERAL TAX INFORMATION The character of distributions made during the year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. These differences reflect the differing character of certain income items and net realized gains and losses for financial statement and tax purposes, and may result in reclassification among certain capital accounts on the financial statements. As of September 30, 2005, the components of investments for federal income tax purposes were as follows: - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- COMPONENTS OF DISTRIBUTABLE EARNINGS AND TAX COST - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Federal tax cost of investments $1,031,547,111 ================================================================================ Gross tax appreciation of investments $133,616,930 - -------------------------------------------------------------- Gross tax depreciation of investments (7,917,586) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net tax appreciation (depreciation) of investments $125,699,344 ================================================================================ The difference between book-basis and tax-basis cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales and return of capital dividends received. - ------ 17 Real Estate - Financial Highlights FOR A SHARE OUTSTANDING THROUGHOUT THE YEARS ENDED MARCH 31 (EXCEPT AS NOTED) - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ INVESTOR CLASS - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2005(1) 2005 2004 2003 2002 2001 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ PER-SHARE DATA - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Net Asset Value, Beginning of Period $23.24 $23.09 $15.83 $16.22 $14.00 $11.74 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Income From Investment Operations - ------------------------------------ Net Investment Income(2) 0.33 0.46 0.46 0.59 0.57 0.58 - ------------------------------------ Net Realized and Unrealized Gain (Loss) 3.97 1.79 7.49 (0.44) 2.21 2.27 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Total From Investment Operations 4.30 2.25 7.95 0.15 2.78 2.85 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Distributions - ------------------------------------ From Net Investment Income (0.27) (0.46) (0.54) (0.54) (0.56) (0.59) - ------------------------------------ From Net Realized Gains -- (1.64) (0.15) -- -- -- - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Total Distributions (0.27) (2.10) (0.69) (0.54) (0.56) (0.59) - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Net Asset Value, End of Period $27.27 $23.24 $23.09 $15.83 $16.22 $14.00 ====================================================================================================== TOTAL RETURN(3) 18.52% 9.53% 50.97% 0.93% 20.23% 24.57% - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ RATIOS/SUPPLEMENTAL DATA - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ratio of Operating Expenses to Average Net Assets 1.15%(4) 1.16% 1.17% 1.18% 1.20% 1.19% - ------------------------------------ Ratio of Net Investment Income to Average Net Assets 2.51%(4) 1.88% 2.28% 3.74% 3.83% 4.35% - ------------------------------------ Portfolio Turnover Rate 95% 171% 158% 162% 156% 242% - ------------------------------------ Net Assets, End of Period (in thousands) $709,988 $522,676 $393,604 $134,898 $107,599 $74,776 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ (1) Six months ended September 30, 2005 (unaudited).

See Notes to Financial Statements. - ------ 20 Approval of Management Agreement for Real Estate Under Section 15(c) of the Investment Company Act, contracts for investment advisory services are required to be reviewed, evaluated and approved by a majority of a fund's independent directors (the "Directors") each year. At American Century, this process -- referred to as the "15(c) Process" -- involves at least two board meetings spanning a 30 to 60 day period each year. In addition to this annual review, the board of directors and its committees oversee and evaluate at quarterly meetings the nature and quality of significant services the advisor performs on behalf of the fund. At these meetings the board reviews fund performance, shareholder services and feedback, audit and compliance information, and a variety of other reports from the advisor concerning fund operations. The board, or committees of the board, also hold special meetings, as needed. Under a new Securities and Exchange Commission rule, each fund is required to disclose in its annual or semiannual report, as appropriate, the material factors and conclusions that formed the basis for its board's approval or renewal of any advisory agreements within the fund's most recently completed fiscal half-year period. ANNUAL CONTRACT REVIEW PROCESS As part of the annual 15(c) Process undertaken during the most recent fiscal half-year, the Directors requested and received extensive data and information compiled by the advisor and certain independent providers of evaluative data (the "Independent 15(c) Providers") concerning Real Estate (the "fund") and the services provided to the fund under the management agreement. The information included, but was not limited to: * the nature, extent and quality of investment management, shareholder services and other services provided to the fund under the management agreement; * reports on the advisor's activities relating to the wide range of programs and services the advisor provides to the fund and its shareholders on a routine and non-routine basis; * data comparing the cost of owning the fund to the cost of owning similar funds; * data comparing the fund's performance to appropriate benchmarks and/or a peer group of other mutual funds with similar investment objectives and strategies; * financial data showing the profitability of the fund to the advisor and the overall profitability of the advisor; and * data comparing services provided and charges to other investment management clients of the advisor. In keeping with its practice, the fund's board of directors held two regularly scheduled meetings and two special meetings to review and discuss the information provided by the advisor and the Independent 15(c) Providers and to complete its negotiations with the advisor regarding the renewal of the management agreement, including the setting of the applicable advisory fee. In addition, the independent directors met on several occasions in private session to review and discuss the information provided and evaluate the advisor's performance as manager of the fund. (continued) - ------ 21 Approval of Management Agreement for Real Estate FACTORS CONSIDERED The Directors considered all of the information provided by the advisor, the Independent 15(c) Providers, and its independent counsel and evaluated such information for each fund for which the board has responsibility. The Directors did not identify any single factor as being all-important or controlling, and each Director may have attributed different levels of importance to different factors. In deciding to renew the agreement under the terms ultimately determined by the board to be appropriate, the Directors' decision was based on the following factors. NATURE, EXTENT AND QUALITY OF SERVICES -- GENERALLY. Under the management agreement, the advisor is responsible for providing or arranging for all services necessary for the operation of the fund. The board noted that under the management agreement, the advisor provides or arranges at its own expense a wide variety of services including, but not limited to: * fund construction and design * portfolio security selection * initial capitalization/funding * securities trading * custody of fund assets * daily valuation of the fund's portfolio * shareholder servicing and transfer agency, including shareholder confirmations, recordkeeping and communications * legal services * regulatory and portfolio compliance * financial reporting * marketing and distribution The Directors noted that many of these services have expanded over time both in terms of quantity and complexity in response to shareholder demands, competition in the industry and the changing regulatory environment. In performing their evaluation, the Directors considered information received in connection with the annual review, as well as information provided on an ongoing basis at their regularly scheduled board and committee meetings. INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT SERVICES. The nature of the investment management services provided is quite complex and allows fund shareholders access to professional money management, instant diversification of their investments within an asset class, the opportunity to easily diversify among asset classes, and liquidity. In evaluating investment performance, the board expects the advisor to manage the fund in accordance with its investment objective and approved strategies. In providing these services, the advisor utilizes teams of investment professionals (portfolio managers, analysts, research assistants, and securities traders) who require extensive information technology, research, training, compliance and other systems to conduct their business. At each quarterly meeting the Directors review investment performance information for the fund, together with comparative information for appropriate benchmarks and a peer group of funds managed similarly to the fund. If performance concerns are identified, the Directors discuss with the advisor and its portfolio managers the reasons for such results (e.g., market conditions, security selection) and any efforts being undertaken to improve performance. Annually, the Directors review (continued) - ------ 22 Approval of Management Agreement for Real Estate detailed performance information, as provided by the Independent 15(c) Providers, comparing the fund's performance with that of similar funds not managed by the advisor. During the past year, the fund's performance was below the median of its peer group. The fund's performance was above the median for the three year period. The Directors discussed the fund's performance with the advisor and was satisfied with the efforts being undertaken by the advisor. The Directors will continue to monitor those efforts and the performance of the fund. SHAREHOLDER AND OTHER SERVICES. The advisor provides the fund with a comprehensive package of transfer agency, shareholder, and other services. The Directors review reports and evaluations of such services at its regular quarterly meetings, including the annual meeting concerning contract review. These reports include, but are not limited to, information regarding the operational efficiency and accuracy of the shareholder and transfer agency services provided, staffing levels, shareholder satisfaction (as measured by external as well as internal sources), technology support, new products and services offered to fund shareholders, securities trading activities, portfolio valuation services, auditing services, and legal and operational compliance activities. Certain aspects of shareholder and transfer agency service level efficiency and the quality of securities trading activities are measured by independent third party providers and are presented in comparison to other fund groups not managed by the advisor. COSTS OF SERVICES PROVIDED AND PROFITABILITY TO THE ADVISOR. The advisor provides detailed information concerning its cost of providing various services to the fund, its profitability in managing the fund, its overall profitability, and its financial condition. The Directors have reviewed with the advisor the methodology used to prepare this financial information. This financial information regarding the advisor is considered in order to evaluate the advisor's financial condition, its ability to continue to provide services under the management agreement, and the reasonableness of the current management fee. ETHICS OF THE ADVISOR. The Directors generally considered the advisor's commitment to providing quality services to shareholders and to conducting its business ethically. They noted that the advisor's practices generally meet or exceed industry best practices and that the advisor was not implicated in the industry scandals of 2003 and 2004. ECONOMIES OF SCALE. The Directors review reports provided by the advisor on economies of scale for the complex as a whole and the year-over-year changes in revenue, costs, and profitability. The Directors concluded that economies of scale are difficult to measure with precision, particularly on a fund-by-fund basis. This analysis is further complicated by the fact that the advisor is required to make a continuing reinvestment in the business to provide additional content and services for fund shareholders. Accordingly, the Directors also seek to evaluate economies of scale by reviewing other information, such as year-over-year profitability of the (continued) - ------ 23 Approval of Management Agreement for Real Estate advisor generally, the profitability of its management of the fund specifically, the expenses incurred by the advisor in providing various services to the fund, and the breakpoint fees of competitive funds not managed by the advisor. The Directors believe the advisor is appropriately sharing any economies of scale through a competitive fee structure, through breakpoints that reduce fees as the fund increases in size, and through reinvestment in its business to provide shareholders additional content and services. COMPARISON TO OTHER FUNDS' FEES. The fund pays the advisor a single, all-inclusive (or unified) management fee for providing all services necessary for the management and operation of the fund, other than brokerage expenses, taxes, interest, extraordinary expenses, and the fees and expenses of the fund's independent directors (including their independent legal counsel). Under the unified fee structure, the advisor is responsible for providing all investment advisory, custody, audit, administrative, compliance, recordkeeping, marketing and shareholder services, or arranging and supervising third parties to provide such services. By contrast, most other fund groups are charged a variety of fees, including an investment advisory fee, a transfer agency fee, an administrative fee, distribution charges and other expenses. Other than their investment advisory fees and Rule 12b-1 distribution fees, all other components of the total fees charged by these other fund groups may be increased without shareholder approval. The board believes the unified fee structure is a benefit to fund shareholders because it clearly discloses to shareholders the cost of owning fund shares, and, since the unified fee cannot be increased without a vote of fund shareholders, it shifts to the advisor the increased costs of operating the funds and the risk of administrative inefficiencies. Part of the Directors' analysis of fee levels involves comparing the fund's unified fee to the total expense ratio of other funds in the fund's peer group. The unified fee charged to shareholders of the fund was below the median of the total expense ratios of its peer group. COMPARISON TO FEES AND SERVICES PROVIDED TO OTHER CLIENTS OF THE ADVISOR. The Directors also requested and received information from the advisor concerning the nature of the services, fees, and profitability of its advisory services to advisory clients other than the fund. They observed that these varying types of client accounts require different services and involve different regulatory and entrepreneurial risks than the management of the fund. The Directors analyzed this information and concluded that the fees charged and services provided to the fund were reasonable by comparison. COLLATERAL BENEFITS DERIVED BY THE ADVISOR. The Directors reviewed information from the advisor concerning collateral benefits it receives as a result of its relationship with the fund. They concluded that the advisor's primary business is managing mutual funds and it generally does not use the fund or shareholder information to generate profits in other lines of business, and therefore does not derive any significant collateral benefits from them. The Directors noted that the advisor receives proprietary research from broker dealers that execute fund portfolio transactions and concluded that this research is likely to benefit fund shareholders. The Directors also determined that the advisor is (continued) - ------ 24 Approval of Management Agreement for Real Estate able to provide investment management services to clients other than the fund, at least in part, due to its existing infrastructure built to serve the fund complex. The Directors concluded, however, that the assets of those other clients are modest in comparison to the funds and that, in any event, the addition of such other assets to the assets of the funds that use substantially the same investment management team and strategy to determine whether breakpoints have been achieved captures for the shareholders a portion of any benefit that exists by accelerating fee reductions as breakpoints are reached at lower fund asset levels. CONCLUSIONS OF THE DIRECTORS As a result of this process, the independent directors, assisted by the advice of legal counsel that is independent of the advisor, taking into account all of the factors discussed above and the information provided by the advisor and the Independent 15(c) Providers, concluded that the investment management agreement between the fund and the advisor is fair and reasonable in light of the services provided and should be renewed. - ------ 25 Share Class Information Three classes of shares are authorized for sale by Real Estate: Investor Class, Institutional Class, and Advisor Class. The total expense ratio of Institutional Class shares is lower than that of Investor Class shares. The total expense ratio of Advisor Class shares is higher than that of Investor Class shares. INVESTOR CLASS shares are available for purchase in two ways: 1) directly from American Century without any commissions or other fees; or 2) through certain financial intermediaries (such as banks, broker-dealers, insurance companies and investment advisors), which may require payment of a transaction fee to the financial intermediary. INSTITUTIONAL CLASS shares are available to large investors such as endowments, foundations, and retirement plans, and to financial intermediaries serving these investors. This class recognizes the relatively lower cost of serving institutional customers and others who invest at least $5 million ($3 million for endowments and foundations) in an American Century fund or at least $10 million in multiple funds. In recognition of the larger investments and account balances and comparatively lower transaction costs, the unified management fee of Institutional Class shares is 0.20% less than the unified management fee of Investor Class shares. ADVISOR CLASS shares are sold primarily through institutions such as investment advisors, banks, broker-dealers, insurance companies, and financial advisors. Advisor Class shares are subject to a 0.50% annual Rule 12b-1 service and distribution fee. The total expense ratio of Advisor Class shares is 0.25% higher than the total expense ratio of Investor Class shares. All classes of shares represent a pro rata interest in the fund and generally have the same rights and preferences. - ------ 26 Additional Information RETIREMENT ACCOUNT INFORMATION As required by law, any distributions you receive from an IRA or certain 403(b), 457 and qualified plans [those not eligible for rollover to an IRA or to another qualified plan] are subject to federal income tax withholding, unless you elect not to have withholding apply. Tax will be withheld on the total amount withdrawn even though you may be receiving amounts that are not subject to withholding, such as nondeductible contributions. In such case, excess amounts of withholding could occur. You may adjust your withholding election so that a greater or lesser amount will be withheld. If you don't want us to withhold on this amount, you must notify us to not withhold the federal income tax. Even if you plan to roll over the amount you withdraw to another tax-deferred account, the withholding rate still applies to the withdrawn amount unless we have received notice not to withhold federal income tax prior to the withdrawal. You may notify us in writing or in certain situations by telephone or through other electronic means. You have the right to revoke your withholding election at any time and any election you make may remain in effect until revoked by filing a new election.

If you elect not to have income tax withheld or you don't have enough income tax withheld, you may be responsible for payment of estimated tax. You may incur penalties under the estimated tax rules if your withholding and estimated tax payments are not sufficient. State tax will be withheld if, at the time of your distribution, your address is within one of the mandatory withholding states and you have federal income tax withheld.
