Stowers III James E. Stowers III CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD AMERICAN CENTURY COMPANIES, INC. - ------ 1 Market Perspective [photo of Phil Davidson] BY PHIL DAVIDSON, CHIEF INVESTMENT OFFICER, U.S. VALUE EQUITIES Despite persistently high oil prices, investor uneasiness about inflation and rising interest rates -- factors that typically weigh on equities -- stocks advanced strongly during the 12 months ended March 31, 2006. Helped by a 4% gain during the first quarter of this year, the S&P 500 Index, representative of the broad market, was up almost 12% for the same period. In the value realm, small- and mid-sized companies had the highest returns for the 12 month period, as evidenced by the Russell 2000 Value Index's gain of almost 24%. Larger value companies, tracked by the Russell 1000 Value Index, were up a little over 13%. On the whole, growth shares performed better than value at the small end of the capitalization range; value stocks had a slight edge among larger businesses. All that said, for many investors, stocks still have a way to go. The S&P 500 closed the period still 15% off its March 2000 record high; the Nasdaq Composite is still 54% behind its 2000 zenith. YEAR OF ENERGY With oil prices increasing 20% over the period, reaching nearly $70 a barrel, energy companies contributed most to the S&P 500's return. Financials followed, as an active stock market and burgeoning merger and acquisition activity lifted capital markets companies and low interest rates fueled real estate stocks. The high-priced energy situation cut both ways, though, as it pressured the earnings of large users of energy, either in their products or their production, as well as companies caught in the ripple effect of higher prices at the pump. Affected businesses ranged from automakers and chemical companies, to food products companies and restaurants, to retailers that operate giant fleets of trucks. NARROW MARKET, LOW QUALITY Many managers of diversified value portfolios faced two additional headwinds: a narrow market dominated by energy stocks for much of the period, and a continuing rally in lower-quality shares as investors rewarded stocks rated B or lower (Standard & Poor's defines high-quality stocks as B+ or higher). A+ shares, representing many of the market's strongest and most stable companies, actually had the lowest returns for the period. Historically, market cycles led by lower-quality stocks have tended to dampen the returns of American Century's value funds, which generally seek higher-quality value stocks.

The Russell 3000 Value Index, indicative of the value side of the stock market, advanced 14.20%. The S&P 500 Index, representative of the broad market, gained 11.73%. The portfolio's latest annual results reflect an equities market in which investors generally preferred lower-quality, higher-beta, momentum-driven stocks. In contrast, Equity Income steers toward higher-quality businesses with strong market positions and attractive dividend yields. In addition, among value stocks, returns on larger-capitalization issues trailed those of small-cap stocks. The portfolio's long-term performance has been strong. Equity Income's ten-year average annualized return of 12.39% ranks the fund #1 against 74 competitors in its Lipper peer group and in the top 3% of its Morningstar Large Value Category. Additionally, from the fund's inception on August 1, 1994, Equity Income has produced an average annualized return of 13.70%, significantly ahead of the 9.91%** return posted by the Lipper Equity Income Index and the Russell 3000 Value Index's 12.82%** figure. The S&P 500 has an 11.25%** average annualized return for the same period. FINANCIALS LEAD PORTFOLIO Financial stocks proved to be the portfolio's largest contributors to our absolute results, led by shares of commercial banks and selected investments in real estate investment trusts (REITs). On the bank side, performance was paced by two of our largest holdings, Commerce Bancshares and Bank of America Corp. Commerce Bancshares operates mainly in Missouri, Kansas and Illinois. This regional bank has one of the strongest balance sheets in the industry, is conservative in its risk management, and earns very good returns. The result is high levels of excess capital, which the bank is applying toward a significant share buyback program and continued dividend growth. Many commercial banks were slowed during the period by rising short term interest rates (a rising cost for capital). While Bank of America was not immune to the earnings-slowing effects of a "flat yield curve," we are attracted to its leading market share in domestic deposits and the stock's 4.4% yield. In real estate, Rayonier, Inc. was a top contributor. Based in Florida, the company owns and manages timberland TOP TEN HOLDINGS AS OF MARCH 31, 2006 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- % OF % OF NET ASSETS NET ASSETS AS OF AS OF 3/31/06 9/30/05 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Exxon Mobil Corp. 4.7% 3.5% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- American International Group, Inc., 1.52%, 11/9/31 4.4% 2.1% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- International Paper Co., 3.74%, 6/20/21 3.8% 3.1% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bank of America Corp. 3.6% 4.7% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Verizon Global Funding Corp., 0.11%, 5/15/21 3.6% 3.1% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- General Electric Co. 2.5% -- - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BP plc ADR 2.5% 2.1% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Commerce Bancshares, Inc. 2.4% 2.9% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Kraft Foods Inc.

(continued) - ------ 5 Equity Income - Portfolio Commentary in the U.S. and New Zealand. Rayonier is benefiting from rising timber prices and strong real estate markets, and is returning money to investors. In September, the company announced a 14% increase in its dividend. INDUSTRIALS ADD VALUE In industrials, we were rewarded for taking positions in commercial services companies, particularly in the waste management field. Among our standouts was Waste Management Inc., the largest solid waste management concern in the world. The company is benefiting from continued operational improvements, which have led to a 10% dividend increase and a repurchase of 4.5% of its stock over the last year. Long-time holding Republic Services Inc., another leading waste management firm, reported record earnings for 2005. In addition to raising its dividend 17% during the period, Republic Services announced plans to repurchase nearly 10% of its stock during 2006. SOME DISAPPOINTMENTS Despite these successes, we suffered setbacks that contributed to our underperformance. In materials, E.I. du Pont de Nemours & Co. was our top-detracting stock. High energy and raw materials costs have dampened earnings of chemical companies like Du Pont, which has also been hurt by slowing growth in key end markets like autos. We think the issues affecting Du Pont are manageable, and continue to own the stock. In media, our investment in Tribune Company, which publishes several major newspapers, declined as the industry faced poor circulation trends and a weak advertising environment. We have confidence in Tribune's longer-term risk-reward profile. LOOKING AHEAD The portfolio can be a core investment for investors who want to take a "toned down" approach to the stock market, or can also act as an effective diversifier for more aggressive equity portfolios. 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 over time.

The portfolio's return placed it in the top 10% of its Lipper Multi-Cap Value peer group and in the top 34% of its Morningstar's Mid-Cap Value Category. Since its inception on March 31, 2004, Mid Cap Value has produced an average annualized return of 17.12%, versus a 19.31% figure for its benchmark. That performance is well ahead of the 14.32% average for Mid Cap Value's Morningstar** peers for the two years. LOWER-QUALITY STOCKS RALLIED Even in the face of rising short-term interest rates and record energy prices, the broad market advanced strongly, as evidenced by the Russell 3000 Index's 14.28% gain for the 12 months. While strong, the portfolio's latest annual results reflect an equities market in which investors generally preferred lower-quality, higher-beta, momentum-driven stocks. In contrast, Mid Cap Value steers toward higher-quality businesses with strong market positions and sound balance sheets. INDUSTRIALS LEAD THE PORTFOLIO Industrial stocks proved to be Mid Cap Value's largest contributors to absolute performance. Within the space, we were well-rewarded for taking positions in commercial services companies, particularly in the waste management industry. Republic Services Inc., a leading waste management firm, reported record earnings for 2005. In addition to raising its dividend 17% during the period, the company announced plans to repurchase nearly 10% of its stock during 2006. Another standout was Waste Management Inc., the largest solid waste management concern in the world, which was fueled by expanding margins and continued cost control. Both of these companies are emblematic of the types of companies we want to own: industry leaders with strong cash flows and balance sheets. Elsewhere in the sector, the portfolio was lifted by American Railcar Industries Inc., a maker of covered hopper and tank railcars. American Railcar has a backlog of nearly two years (almost twice the industry average), driven by cyclical demand for railcars that carry coal and gasoline. FINANCIALS ADD VALUE In financials, the portfolio was carried by insurance companies and commercial banks.

Ambac is a financial guarantor that insures issuers of municipal bonds that has benefited from record issuance in municipal debt in 2005. Our investments in commercial banks were paced by two regional banks, BancorpSouth Inc. and SunTrust Banks. Based in Mississippi, BancorpSouth operates across six southern states and has benefited from solid loan growth-partly associated with rebuilding in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. The bank has raised its dividend in each of the last 27 years. SunTrust Banks, the seventh-largest U.S. bank, operates throughout 11 Southeastern states, which represent one of the highest population growth footprints in banking. INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY ANOTHER PLUS Littelfuse Inc., one of our top-contributing securities, led our investments in the information technology sector. The company is the world's foremost supplier of circuit protection components used in electronic products such as computers, telecom equipment and consumer electronics. Nine of every ten cars in the world rely on Littelfuse circuitry protection devices. SOME DISAPPOINTMENTS While we provided strong performance, we experienced some difficulties along the way. Our largest detractor was Westwood One Inc., the nation's largest radio network and the leading distributor of national radio programs. The company has been slowed by a difficult advertising market and increased spending for content and programming. In health care, Apria Healthcare Group Inc., the nation's largest provider of home medical equipment (such as oxygen systems and intravenous medication devices), performed below expectations. Apria has wrestled with several company-specific issues, including rising costs and a difficult Medicare reimbursement environment. Maidenform Brands Inc., a global intimate apparel company with a portfolio of established brands, declined significantly amid end-of-year markdowns by retailers and a decision by Target Corp. to increase its focus on its private intimate apparel brands. We sold our shares in early March. LOOKING AHEAD Mid Cap Value seeks to help investors achieve long-term capital growth by investing in medium-sized companies. We will continue to adhere to our discipline of identifying well-managed companies that appear to be undervalued for reasons unrelated to their fundamental or financial health.

Virtually all of the portfolio's relative underperformance occurred in the last quarter of the period. Within the small-cap space as a whole, returns on value stocks failed to match returns on growth stocks in the 12-month period, as the Russell 2000 Growth Index's 27.84% return surpassed the Russell 2000 Value's performance. At the same time, Small Cap Value typically invests the majority of its portfolio in classic value companies -- in other words, high-quality companies that exhibit strong fundamental financial features but nonetheless appear undervalued. However, the recent rally in small-cap value stocks centered mostly on low-quality issues that Small Cap Value tends to avoid. Looking longer term, Small Cap Value's annual return in the past five years has averaged 16.58%, outpacing its benchmark's average of 16.24% and ranking in the top 39% of its Morningstar peer group. Since its July 31, 1998, inception, the fund's performance ranks in the top 7% of that same peer group. Also since its inception, the portfolio's risk-adjusted return -- a measure reflecting the portfolio's limited volatility and below-average Morningstar risk rating -- ranks in the top 3% of small-cap value funds tracked by Morningstar. That risk-adjusted performance is a direct byproduct of the portfolio's consistent focus on high-quality stocks, regardless of the type of short-term outperformance by lower-quality issues that occurred late in the recent 12-month reporting time frame. NAVIGATING ENERGY WELL Small Cap Value found plenty of opportunity in the volatile energy sector during the 12-month period, maintaining an advantageous overweight position, particularly among providers of energy equipment and services. Security selection in the sector further contributed to both relative and absolute gains for the portfolio. In fact, energy accounted for four of the portfolio's top 10 individual relative performers. Contract oil and gas driller Helmerich & Payne ranked No. 1 among all portfolio holdings on both a relative and absolute basis, as the company's stock followed a rallying TOP TEN HOLDINGS AS OF MARCH 31, 2006 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- % OF % OF NET ASSETS NET ASSETS AS OF AS OF 3/31/06 9/30/05 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- iShares Russell 2000 Value Index Fund 2.3% 2.5% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sybase, Inc. 2.0% 2.0% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- iShares S&P SmallCap 600 Value Index Fund 1.5% -- - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- iShares Russell 2000 Index Fund 1.5% 1.4% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- HCC Insurance Holdings, Inc. 1.1% 1.1% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Washington Federal, Inc. 1.1% 1.0% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Platinum Underwriters Holdings 1.0% 1.0% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Perot Systems Corp.

(continued) - ------ 20 Small Cap Value - Portfolio Commentary in crude oil prices during the period. Shares in the Tulsa, Oklahoma-based company soared 77%. INSURANCE HOLDINGS AID PERFORMANCE Meanwhile, outside of energy, no other industry contributed to the portfolio's absolute return more than insurance. Houston-based HCC Insurance Holdings, a property and casualty insurer and one of the portfolio's five largest individual stakes, withstood a considerable impact from hurricane claims late last summer and still recorded a 20% increase in net profit for calendar year 2005. In the 12-month period ended March 31, 2006, its stock rose 46%, ranking among the portfolio's top five performers on both an absolute and relative basis. SELECTION CRIMPS RELATIVE RETURN Small Cap Value realized solid absolute contributions from a variety of sectors - -- industrials, financials, information technology and materials. But individual security selection, which is effected by the quality bias inherent in our portfolio's investment process, trimmed relative performance in each of those sectors. Security selection proved most detrimental in the consumer discretionary sector, primarily from losses in the specialty retail industry. That industry suffered from rising interest rates and gasoline costs that cut into consumers' pocketbooks as the period progressed. Pier 1 Imports and clothier Talbot's led relative detractors in specialty retail, which stripped more from the portfolio's total return than any other industry. Sensient Technologies, a maker of specialty fragrances and flavorings that ranked among the portfolio's 10 heaviest individual stakes, tied Pier 1 as its biggest relative detractor.

(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.) See Notes to Financial Statements. - ------ 25 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 October 1, 2005 to March 31, 2006. 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 (continued) - ------ 26 Shareholder Fee Examples (Unaudited) 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. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- EXPENSES PAID BEGINNING ENDING DURING PERIOD* ANNUALIZED ACCOUNT VALUE ACCOUNT VALUE 10/1/05 - EXPENSE 10/1/05 3/31/06 3/31/06 RATIO* - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- EQUITY INCOME SHAREHOLDER FEE EXAMPLE - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ACTUAL: - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Investor Class $1,000 $1,051.00 $5.01 0.98% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Institutional Class $1,000 $1,052.00 $3.99 0.78% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Advisor Class $1,000 $1,049.70 $6.29 1.23% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- C Class $1,000 $1,045.80 $10.10 1.98% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- R Class $1,000 $1,047.20 $7.55 1.48% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- HYPOTHETICAL: - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Investor Class $1,000 $1,020.04 $4.94 0.98% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Institutional Class $1,000 $1,021.04 $3.93 0.78% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Advisor Class $1,000 $1,018.80 $6.19 1.23% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- C Class $1,000 $1,015.06 $9.95 1.98% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- R Class $1,000 $1,017.55 $7.44 1.48% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *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 182, the number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year, divided by 365, to reflect the one-half year period.

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 notaxable 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 MARCH 31, 2006 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 MARCH 31, 2006 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 MARCH 31, 2006 2. FEES AND TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES (CONTINUED) The effective annual management fee for each class of the funds for the year ended March 31, 2006 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 year ended March 31, 2006, 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 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.

BANK LINE OF CREDIT The funds, along with certain other funds managed by ACIM or ACGIM, have a $500,000,000 unsecured bank line of credit agreement with JPMCB, which was renewed from $575,000,000 effective December 14, 2005. 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 year ended March 31, 2006. 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 tax character of distributions paid during the years ended March 31, 2006 and March 31, 2005 were as follows: - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- EQUITY INCOME MID CAP VALUE - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2006 2005 2006 2005 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DISTRIBUTIONS PAID FROM - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ordinary income $210,127,493 $173,270,167 $9,442,153 $974,534 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Long-term capital gains $111,693,615 $98,024,810 $458,855 -- - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SMALL CAP VALUE - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2006 2005 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DISTRIBUTIONS PAID FROM - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ordinary income $134,913,061 $124,523,803 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Long-term capital gains $140,383,766 $67,391,153 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The book-basis character of distributions made during the year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. These differences reflect the differing character of certain income items and net realized gains and losses for financial statement and tax purposes, and may result in reclassification among certain capital accounts on the financial statements. (continued) - ------ 41 Notes to Financial Statements MARCH 31, 2006 8. FEDERAL TAX INFORMATION (CONTINUED) As of March 31, 2006, the components of distributable earnings on a tax-basis and the federal tax cost of investments were as follows: - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ EQUITY INCOME MID CAP VALUE SMALL CAP VALUE - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Federal tax cost of investments $4,749,951,354 $134,618,898 $1,951,494,101 ========================================================================================== Gross tax appreciation of investments $395,042,677 $5,563,250 $357,980,700 - --------------------------------------- Gross tax depreciation of investments (67,909,807) (2,209,148) (37,783,154) - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Net tax appreciation (depreciation) of investments $327,132,870 $3,354,102 $320,197,546 ========================================================================================== Net tax appreciation (depreciation) on derivatives and translation of assets and liabilities in foreign currencies -- -- (39) - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Net tax appreciation (depreciation) $327,132,870 $3,354,102 $320,197,507 ========================================================================================== Undistributed ordinary income $75,050,225 $5,862,773 $57,600,215 - --------------------------------------- Accumulated long-term gains $61,708,913 $440,022 $73,293,292 - --------------------------------------- Currency loss deferral -- $(1,284) -- - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 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, the realization for tax purposes of unrealized gains on certain forward foreign currency contracts and return of capital dividends. The currency loss deferrals represent net foreign currency losses incurred in the five-month period ended March 31, 2006. The funds have elected to treat such losses as having been incurred in the following fiscal year for federal income tax purposes. 9.

See Notes to Financial Statements. - ------ 55 Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm The Board of Directors and Shareholders, American Century Capital Portfolios, Inc.: We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of Equity Income Fund, Mid Cap Value Fund, and Small Cap Value Fund (the "Funds"), three of the mutual funds comprising American Century Capital Portfolios, Inc., as of March 31, 2006, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for the periods presented. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds' management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Funds are not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of their internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds' internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of March 31, 2006, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial positions of Equity Income Fund, Mid Cap Value Fund, and Small Cap Value Fund as of March 31, 2006, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for the periods presented, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Four classes of shares are authorized for sale by Mid Cap Value: Investor Class, Institutional Class, Advisor Class, and R Class. Four classes of shares are authorized for sale by Small Cap Value: Investor Class, Institutional Class, Advisor Class, and C Class. The total expense ratio of Institutional Class shares is lower than that of Investor Class shares. The total expense ratios of Advisor Class, C Class, and R Class shares are higher than that of Investor Class shares. Small Cap Value is closed to new investments, except those from existing investors and those made through a small number of financial intermediaries selected by American Century. 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. C CLASS shares are sold primarily through employer-sponsored retirement plans and through institutions such as investment advisors, banks, broker-dealers, and insurance companies. C Class shares redeemed within 12 months of purchase are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) of 1.00%. There is no CDSC on shares acquired through reinvestment of dividends or capital gains. The unified management fee for C Class shares is the same as for Investor Class shares. C Class shares also are subject to a Rule 12b-1 service and distribution fee of 1.00%. R CLASS shares are sold primarily through employer-sponsored retirement plans and through institutions such as investment advisors, banks, broker-dealers, and insurance companies. The unified management fee for R Class shares is the same as for Investor Class shares. R Class shares are subject to a 0.50% annual Rule 12b-1 service and distribution fee. All classes of shares represent a pro rata interest in the funds and generally have the same rights and preferences. - ------ 60 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 willbe withheld from your distribution in accordance with the respective state rules.

Stowers III James E. Stowers III CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD AMERICAN CENTURY COMPANIES, INC. - ------ 1 Market Perspective [photo of chief investment officer] BY PHIL DAVIDSON, CHIEF INVESTMENT OFFICER, U.S. VALUE EQUITY Despite persistently high oil prices, investor uneasiness about inflation and rising interest rates--factors that typically weigh on equities--stocks advanced strongly during the 12 months ended March 31, 2006. Helped by a 4% gain during the first quarter of this year, the S&P 500 Index, representative of the broad market, was up almost 12% for the same period. In the value realm, small- and mid-sized companies had the highest returns for the 12-month period, as evidenced by the Russell 2000 Value Index's gain of almost 24%. Larger value companies, tracked by the Russell 1000 Value Index, were up a little over 13%. On the whole, growth shares performed better than value at the small end of the capitalization range; value stocks had a slight edge among larger businesses. All that said, for many investors, stocks still have a way to go. The S&P 500 closed the period still 15% off its March 2000 record high; the Nasdaq Composite is still 54% behind its 2000 zenith. YEAR OF ENERGY With oil prices increasing 20% over the period, reaching nearly $70 a barrel, energy companies contributed most to the S&P 500's return. Financials followed, as an active stock market and burgeoning merger and acquisition activity lifted capital markets companies and low interest rates fueled real estate stocks. The high-priced energy situation cut both ways, though, as it pressured the earnings of large users of energy, either in their products or their production, as well as companies caught in the ripple effect of higher prices at the pump. Affected businesses ranged from automakers and chemical companies, to food products companies and restaurants, to retailers that operate giant fleets of trucks. NARROW MARKET, LOW QUALITY Many managers of diversified value portfolios faced two additional headwinds: a narrow market dominated by energy stocks for much of the period, and a continuing rally in lower-quality shares as investors rewarded stocks rated B or lower (Standard & Poor's defines high-quality stocks as B+ or higher). A+ shares, representing many of the market's strongest and most stable companies, actually had the lowest returns for the period. Historically, market cycles led by lower-quality stocks have tended to dampen the returns of American Century's value funds, which generally seek higher-quality value stocks.

The Russell 3000 Value Index, indicative of the value side of the market, was up 14.20%. The S&P 500 Index, representative of the broad market, gained 11.73%. The portfolio's latest annual results reflect an equities market in which investors generally preferred lower-quality, higher-beta, momentum-driven stocks. In contrast, Value steers toward higher-quality businesses with strong cash flows and sound balance sheets. In addition, among value stocks, returns on larger-capitalization issues trailed those of small-cap stocks. The portfolio's long-term performance has been strong. As of March 31, Value's ten-year average annualized return of 11.00% places it in the top 23% of its Lipper Multi-Cap Value peer group and in the top 13% of Morningstar's Large Value Category. Additionally, from the fund's inception on September 1, 1993, Value has produced an average annual return of 12.39%, significantly ahead of the 10.77%** return posted by the Lipper Multi-Cap Value Index and the Russell 3000 Value Index's 11.86%** return. The S&P 500 has a 10.51%** average annualized return for the same period. FINANCIALS LEAD PORTFOLIO Financial stocks proved to be the portfolio's largest contributors to our absolute results, led by shares of insurance companies and commercial banks. On the insurance side, performance was paced by American International Group Inc. (AIG). The world's largest insurer, AIG has put regulatory investigations behind it and is benefiting from improved pricing in the wake of the 2005 hurricanes and its strong presence in foreign life insurance markets. Profits for commercial banks were squeezed during the period by rising short-term interest rates (a rising cost for capital). Nonetheless, two of our largest holdings in the industry, Bank of America Corp. and SunTrust Banks Inc., were among our top contributors. While Bank of America was not immune to the earnings-slowing effects of a "flat yield curve," it appears to be successfully integrating credit card giant MBNA, which it acquired last year. SunTrust Banks, the seventh-largest TOP TEN HOLDINGS AS OF MARCH 31, 2006 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- % OF % OF NET ASSETS NET ASSETS AS OF AS OF 3/31/06 9/30/05 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bank of America Corp. 4.8% 4.4% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Kraft Foods Inc.

(continued) - ------ 5 Value - Portfolio Commentary U.S. bank, operates throughout 11 Southeastern states, which represent one of the highest population growth footprints in banking. INDUSTRIALS ADD VALUE In industrials, we were rewarded for taking positions in commercial services companies, particularly in the waste management industry. Republic Services Inc., a leading waste management firm, reported record earnings for 2005. In addition to raising its dividend 17% during the period, Republic Services announced plans to repurchase nearly 10% of its stock during 2006, a continuation of a multi-year trend. Another standout was Waste Management Inc., the largest solid waste management concern in the world. Fueled by expanding margins due to better pricing and continued cost control, Waste Management continues to improve its operating performance. SOME DISAPPOINTMENTS Despite these successes, we suffered setbacks that contributed to our underperformance. Three of our largest detractors were media companies. They included The New York Times Co. and Tribune Co. (which publishes several major newspapers including the Los Angeles Times), and Westwood One, Inc., the nation's largest radio network and the leading distributor of national radio programs. All three have been slowed by a weak advertising environment. Westwood One is also contending with rising operating expenses as it invests in new programming and technology. In consumer staples, Kimberly-Clark Corp., the world's top maker of personal-care paper products, was hampered by rising pulp prices and increased competition from private-label brands in the disposable diaper market, which has led to margin pressure. We believe the issues affecting this industry leader are manageable and increased our position during the period. LOOKING AHEAD Value can be a core investment for investors seeking long-term capital growth. 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. This strategy has been in place since the fund's inception and has delivered attractive, risk-adjusted results over time.

American Century Large Company Value advanced 9.44%* during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006, trailing the 13.31% return of its benchmark, the Russell 1000 Value Index, and the 11.73% gain of the S&P 500 Index, which measures the broader market. Large Company Value has proved its worth over the longer term. On a 5-year basis, its average annual return has outperformed its benchmark by a margin of 7.95% to 7.79%. In that time, the fund ranks in the leading 8% of its Lipper Large-Cap Value peer group and the top 18% of its Morningstar Large Value peers. OPPORTUNITIES IN BROADLY DIVERSIFIED, MEGA-CAP STOCKS The fund's investment process looks for stocks that appear attractively priced given their current fundamentals and business prospects. A sector or market group that underperforms the market will get increasing attention in the portfolio. These moves to lagging areas can hurt the fund's performance in the short-term, but we make them with the belief that long-term performance will benefit from investments in areas of the market we perceive as cheap. One area of the market that certainly has gotten cheaper during the last few years is that of the mega-cap value stocks. During the last five years, returns of the biggest large-cap value stocks, so-called mega-cap value stocks, have trailed other large-cap value stocks. In our view, that underperformance has gradually made many giants of American business more attractively priced than other large-cap stocks. Typically, these companies feature broadly diversified business models, generally leading to more stable fundamentals. Reacting to their attractive prices, the fund has increased its exposure to mega-cap stocks over the last few years and generally preferred more diversified business models rather than niche plays. SOLID RETURNS IN ENERGY In the 12-month period, the fund had a modest underweight in energy stocks, the broad market's best-performing sector since 2004. The fund's exposure generally consisted of multi-national integrated oil companies, such as Exxon Mobil and Chevron. While such energy stocks performed well on an absolute basis, they trailed more specialized energy stocks focused on refining, exploration or oil field TOP TEN HOLDINGS AS OF MARCH 31, 2006 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- % OF % OF NET ASSETS NET ASSETS AS OF AS OF 3/31/06 9/30/05 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Citigroup Inc. 4.7% 4.6% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Exxon Mobil Corp. 4.5% 4.5% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bank of America Corp. 3.3% 3.2% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Freddie Mac 2.9% 3.1% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Royal Dutch Shell plc ADR 2.7% 2.8% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- J.P.

(continued) - ------ 12 Large Company Value - Portfolio Commentary services. While narrowly focused energy stocks may offer more operational leverage amid the sector's current favorable trends, we believe the benefits of diversification will become more apparent if the energy environment turns hostile. ABSOLUTE BOOST FROM FINANCIALS Large Company Value derived almost half its absolute return in the period from financial stocks, with commercial banks and financial services providers leading the way. The sector also accounted for the portfolio's second-leading relative portfolio holding, property and casualty insurer Loews Corp., whose shares surged 39%. However, the fund's emphasis on diversified business models also hurt performance in the capital markets industry. Two holdings in that industry, Merrill Lynch and Morgan Stanley, advanced nicely during the period but still trailed more specialized capital market stocks. Moreover, an underweight position in booming real estate stocks trimmed relative returns in the financials sector. An underweight position in real estate investment trusts reflected concern about the valuation of stocks in the industry, mostly because the group has ranked as a standout performer since the market's peak in the spring of 2000. INVESTMENT PHILOSOPHY The Large Company Value investment management team remains committed to its strategy of finding large, fundamentally sound businesses trading at price levels it deems below fair market value. By keeping the portfolio positioned in attractively priced stocks regardless of short-term market movements, we believe we can deliver long-term investment rewards.

See Notes to Financial Statements. - ------ 15 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 October 1, 2005 to March 31, 2006. 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) - ------ 16 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* ANNUALIZED ACCOUNT VALUE ACCOUNT VALUE 10/1/05 - EXPENSE 10/1/05 3/31/06 3/31/06 RATIO* - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- VALUE SHAREHOLDER FEE EXAMPLE - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ACTUAL - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Investor Class $1,000 $1,077.00 $5.18 1.00% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Institutional Class $1,000 $1,078.00 $4.14 0.80% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Advisor Class $1,000 $1,075.70 $6.47 1.25% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A Class $1,000 $1,077.00 $6.47 1.25% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- B Class $1,000 $1,071.80 $10.33 2.00% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- C Class $1,000 $1,072.20 $10.33 2.00% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- R Class $1,000 $1,074.30 $7.76 1.50% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- HYPOTHETICAL - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Investor Class $1,000 $1,019.95 $5.04 1.00% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Institutional Class $1,000 $1,020.94 $4.03 0.80% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Advisor Class $1,000 $1,018.70 $6.29 1.25% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A Class $1,000 $1,018.70 $6.29 1.25% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- B Class $1,000 $1,014.96 $10.05 2.00% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- C Class $1,000 $1,014.96 $10.05 2.00% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- R Class $1,000 $1,017.45 $7.54 1.50% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *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 182, the number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year, divided by 365, to reflect the one-half year period.

------ 22 Notes to Financial Statements MARCH 31, 2006 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 of all sizes and Large Company Value invests primarily in larger companies. 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 records 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) - ------ 23 Notes to Financial Statements MARCH 31, 2006 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) - ------ 24 Notes to Financial Statements MARCH 31, 2006 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 year ended March 31, 2006, 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) - ------ 25 Notes to Financial Statements MARCH 31, 2006 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% for the A Class and 0.50% for the R Class. 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 year ended March 31, 2006, 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.

(continued) - ------ 29 Notes to Financial Statements MARCH 31, 2006 6. SECURITIES LENDING As of March 31, 2006, securities in Value valued at $364,161,324, 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 $369,853,257. 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. 7. BANK LINE OF CREDIT The funds, along with certain other funds managed by ACIM or ACGIM, have a $500,000,000 unsecured bank line of credit agreement with JPMCB, which was renewed from $575,000,000 effective December 14, 2005. 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 year ended March 31, 2006. 8. FEDERAL TAX INFORMATION The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended March 31, 2006 and March 31, 2005 were as follows: - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ VALUE LARGE COMPANY VALUE - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2006 2005 2006 2005 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ DISTRIBUTIONS PAID FROM - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ordinary income $181,298,865 $210,162,524 $51,706,096 $19,004,026 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Long-term capital gains $135,878,450 $177,023,162 $24,530,087 $ 3,049,252 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The book-basis character of distributions made during the year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. These differences reflect the differing character of certain income items and net realized gains and losses for financial statement and tax purposes, and may result in reclassification among certain capital accounts on the financial statements. (continued) - ------ 30 Notes to Financial Statements MARCH 31, 2006 8. FEDERAL TAX INFORMATION (CONTINUED) As of March 31, 2006, the components of distributable earnings on a tax-basis and the federal tax cost of investments were as follows: - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- LARGE VALUE COMPANY VALUE - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Federal tax cost of investments $3,121,379,320 $1,924,007,575 ================================================================================ Gross tax appreciation of investments $175,641,540 $257,103,684 - --------------------------------------------- Gross tax depreciation of investments (58,869,586) (27,586,962) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net tax appreciation (depreciation) of investments $116,771,954 $229,516,722 ================================================================================ Undistributed ordinary income $51,461,758 $7,027,638 - --------------------------------------------- Accumulated long-term gains $67,320,881 $4,127,711 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 the realization for tax purposes of unrealized gains on certain forward foreign currency contracts. 9.

(2) Computed using average shares outstanding throughout the period. (3) Total return assumes reinvestment of net investment income and capital gains distributions, if any. Total returns for periods less than one year are not annualized. 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. (4) 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. - ------ 45 Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm The Board of Directors and Shareholders, American Century Capital Portfolios, Inc.: We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of Value Fund and Large Company Value Fund (the "Funds"), two of the mutual funds comprising American Century Capital Portfolios, Inc., as of March 31, 2006, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for the periods presented. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds' management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Funds are not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of their internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds' internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of March 31, 2006, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial positions of Value Fund and Large Company Value Fund as of March 31, 2006, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for the periods presented, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The total expense ratio of Institutional Class shares is lower than that of Investor Class shares. The total expense ratios of Advisor, A, B, C and R Class shares are higher that that of Investor Class shares. The funds are available for purchase only through financial intermediaries by investors who seek advice from them. The fund is closed to other investors, but those with open accounts may make additional investments and reinvest dividends and capital gains distributions as long as such accounts are open. 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. A CLASS shares are sold primarily through employer-sponsored retirement plans and through institutions such as investment advisors, banks, broker-dealers, and insurance companies. A Class shares are sold at their offering price, which is net asset value plus an initial sales charge that ranges from 5.75% to 0.00% for equity funds, depending on the amount invested. The initial sales charge is deducted from the purchase amount before it is invested. A Class shares may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC). There is no CDSC on shares acquired through reinvestment of dividends or capital gains. The prospectus contains information regarding reductions and waivers of sales charges for A Class shares. The unified management fee for A Class shares is the same as for Investor Class shares. A Class shares also are subject to a 0.25% annual Rule 12b-1 service and distribution fee. B CLASS shares are sold primarily through employer-sponsored retirement plans and through institutions such as investment advisors, banks, broker-dealers, and insurance companies. B Class shares redeemed within six years of purchase are subject to a CDSC that declines from 5.00% during the first year after purchase to 0.00% (continued) - ------ 50 Share Class Information after the sixth year. There is no CDSC on shares acquired through reinvestment of dividends or capital gains. The unified management fee for B Class shares is the same as for Investor Class shares. B Class shares also are subject to a 1.00% annual Rule 12b-1 service and distribution fee. B Class shares automatically convert to A Class shares (with lower expenses) eight years after their purchase date. C CLASS shares are sold primarily through employer-sponsored retirement plans and through institutions such as investment advisors, banks, broker-dealers, and insurance companies. C Class shares redeemed within 12 months of purchase are subject to a CDSC of 1.00%. There is no CDSC on shares acquired through reinvestment of dividends or capital gains. The unified management fee for C Class shares is the same as for Investor Class shares. C Class shares also are subject to a Rule 12b-1 service and distribution fee of 1.00%. R CLASS shares are sold primarily through employer-sponsored retirement plans and through institutions such as investment advisors, banks, broker-dealers, and insurance companies. The unified management fee for R Class shares is the same as for Investor Class shares. R Class shares are subject to a 0.50% annual Rule 12b-1 service and distribution fee. All classes of shares represent a pro rata interest in the funds and generally have the same rights and preferences. - ------ 51 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.

Stowers III FOUNDER CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD AMERICAN CENTURY COMPANIES, INC. AMERICAN CENTURY COMPANIES, INC. - ------ 1 Market Perspective [photo of Phil Davidson] BY PHIL DAVIDSON, CHIEF INVESTMENT OFFICER, U.S. VALUE EQUITY STOCKS GAINED GROUND Stocks advanced strongly during the 12 months ended March 31, 2006. The S&P 500 Index, representative of the broad market, was up almost 12% for the period. The stock market overcame persistently high oil prices, investor uneasiness about inflation, and rising interest rates--factors that typically weigh on equities. The destructive Gulf Coast hurricanes in September 2005 also had a negative impact on investor confidence. However, stocks were buoyed by the resiliency of the U.S. economy, which rebounded with surprising strength in the first quarter of 2006 after a post-hurricane slowdown. In addition, corporate profits continued to expand at a higher-than-expected rate, confounding many market watchers who anticipated a slowdown in earnings growth. SMALLER WAS BETTER Most of the major stock indexes enjoyed returns in excess of 10% for the 12-month period. Small- and mid-sized companies had the highest returns, as evidenced by the Russell 2000 Index's gain of almost 26%. Value and growth stocks were mixed--growth shares performed better than value at the small end of the capitalization range, while value stocks had a slight edge among larger businesses. All that said, for many investors, stocks still have a way to go. The S&P 500 closed the period 15% below its March 2000 record high, while the Nasdaq Composite is 54% behind its 2000 zenith. YEAR OF ENERGY With oil prices increasing 20% over the period, reaching nearly $70 a barrel, energy companies contributed the most to the S&P 500's return. Financial stocks also performed well as an active stock market and burgeoning merger and acquisition activity lifted capital markets companies. Real estate investment trusts were also among the best performers in the financial sector (see page 5 for more details). The high price of energy cut both ways, though, as it crimped the earnings of large energy users, either in products or production processes, as well as companies caught in the ripple effect of higher prices at the pump. Affected businesses included automakers and chemical companies, food products companies and restaurants, and retailers that operate giant fleets of trucks.

REITS PRODUCED STRONG RETURNS Real estate investment trusts (REITs) posted stunning results over the past year, surging by 40% and extending a REIT rally that began in early 2000. One factor supporting the strong gains in the REIT sector was the strength of the economy, which helped reduce vacancy rates and boost rents across the board. Commercial property values also continued to increase over the past year. The biggest positive influence, however, was a significant increase in merger and acquisition activity. In particular, buyouts from private equity firms increased sharply, providing a healthy lift to REIT valuations. Between January 2004 and March 2006, 14 publicly traded REITs were taken private. Every sector of the REIT market returned more than 25% during the one-year period. Apartment REITs posted the best results as the housing market cooled off and rising mortgage rates led to greater rental demand. Self-storage and industrial REITs were also top performers, while office and retail REITs performed in line with the overall REIT sector. Hotel and health care REITs produced the lowest returns. APARTMENT AND OFFICE REITS KEY TO OUTPERFORMANCE The Real Estate fund's outperformance of the MSCI US REIT Index resulted primarily from favorable stock selection in the office and apartment sectors. Two of the top contributors to relative performance were office REITs Kilroy Realty and Arden Realty. Kilroy, one of the largest owners of office and industrial properties in San Diego and Los Angeles, gained nearly 100% during the fiscal year thanks to rising occupancy and healthy demand for office space. Arden, also based in southern California, was acquired at a premium by the real estate arm of General Electric. Among apartment REITs, the best contributors included BRE Properties, which gets more than half of its rental income from the strong southern California market, and Mid-America Apartment TOP TEN HOLDINGS AS OF MARCH 31, 2006 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- % OF % OF NET ASSETS NET ASSETS AS OF AS OF 3/31/06 9/30/05 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Simon Property Group, Inc. 8.0% 5.3% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Host Marriott Corp. 5.5% 4.8% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ProLogis 5.2% 6.2% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Apartment Investment and Management Co.

(continued) - ------ 5 Real Estate - Portfolio Commentary Communities, which improved on already excellent occupancy levels in its portfolio of apartment properties in Texas and the Southeast. SECTOR WEIGHTINGS FAVORABLE Sector weightings also contributed positively to performance relative to the benchmark index. The fund was underweight in the lagging health care sector, which comprised 2.5% of the portfolio on average over the past year, compared with a position of more than 8% in the index. An overweight in industrial REITs, which outperformed during the fiscal year, also helped. HOTELS, RETAIL HINDERED RELATIVE PERFORMANCE On the downside, an overweight in hotel companies detracted from relative performance. The fund held a larger position in hotel REITs than the benchmark index, and it also owned several non-REIT hotel companies. These stocks generally underperformed the broader REIT market during the past year, hurting fund performance relative to the index. In addition, stock selection among retail REITs weighed on relative results. The biggest detractor from relative performance was Pennsylvania Real Estate Investment Trust, which struggled with declining occupancy rates and higher-than-expected costs. CAUTION AHEAD For the six years ended March 31, 2006, the MSCI US REIT Index produced a cumulative total return of 235.37%, compared with the S&P 500's cumulative return of -4.86%. As a result of this outperformance, REIT valuations are higher than the overall stock market. In addition, the dividend yield on REITs recently dipped below the yield on the 10-year Treasury bond, which hasn't happened in nearly 10 years. Consequently, REITs may be facing some headwinds as 2006 progresses. Nonetheless, real estate remains an important component of a diversified portfolio because of its relatively high dividend yield and low correlation with the broader stock market.

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 October 1, 2005 to March 31, 2006. 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) - ------ 7 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 10/1/05 - EXPENSE 10/1/05 3/31/06 3/31/06 RATIO* - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- REAL ESTATE SHAREHOLDER FEE EXAMPLE - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ACTUAL - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Investor Class $1,000 $1,186.60 $6.27 1.15% - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Institutional Class $1,000 $1,188.00 $5.18 0.95% - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Advisor Class $1,000 $1,185.50 $7.63 1.40% - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- HYPOTHETICAL - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Investor Class $1,000 $1,019.20 $5.79 1.15% - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Institutional Class $1,000 $1,020.19 $4.78 0.95% - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Advisor Class $1,000 $1,017.95 $7.04 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 182, the number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year, divided by 365, to reflect the one-half year period. - ------ 8 Real Estate - Schedule of Investments MARCH 31, 2006 Shares Value - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- COMMON STOCKS -- 96.3% DIVERSIFIED -- 8.7% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 251,300 Colonial Properties Trust $ 12,597,669 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2,264,800 Huntingdon Real Estate Investment Trust 5,041,076 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 597,624 Lexington Corporate Properties Trust 12,460,460 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 750,000 Sun Hung Kai Properties Ltd.

------ 13 Notes to Financial Statements MARCH 31, 2006 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 to seek long-term capital appreciation. Income is a secondary objective. The fund pursues 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) - ------ 14 Notes to Financial Statements MARCH 31, 2006 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) - ------ 15 Notes to Financial Statements MARCH 31, 2006 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 year ended March 31, 2006 was 1.15%, 0.95%, and 0.90% for the Investor Class, Institutional Class and Advisor Class, 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 year ended March 31, 2006, 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.

BANK LINE OF CREDIT The fund, along with certain other funds managed by ACIM or ACGIM, has a $500,000,000 unsecured bank line of credit agreement with JPMCB, which was renewed from $575,000,000 effective December 14, 2005.

The fund did not borrow from the line during the year ended March 31, 2006. 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. (continued) - ------ 18 Notes to Financial Statements MARCH 31, 2006 8. FEDERAL TAX INFORMATION The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended March 31, 2006 and March 31, 2005 were as follows: - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2006 2005 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DISTRIBUTIONS PAID FROM - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ordinary income $88,461,272 $33,137,764 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Long-term capital gains $49,287,666 $30,504,242 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The book-basis character of distributions made during the year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. These differences reflect the differing character of certain income items and net realized gains and losses for financial statement and tax purposes, and may result in reclassification among certain capital accounts on the financial statements. As of March 31, 2006, the components of distributable earnings on a tax-basis and the federal tax cost of investments were as follows: - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- COMPONENTS OF DISTRIBUTABLE EARNINGS AND TAX COST - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Federal tax cost of investments $1,312,815,352 ================================================================================ Gross tax appreciation of investments $260,140,448 - ------------------------------------------------------- Gross tax depreciation of investments (3,383,152) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net tax appreciation (depreciation) of investments $256,757,296 ================================================================================ Net tax appreciation (depreciation) on translation of assets and liabilities in foreign currencies 437 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net tax appreciation (depreciation) $256,757,733 ================================================================================ Undistributed ordinary income $48,978,380 - ------------------------------------------------------- Accumulated long-term gains $34,165,628 - ------------------------------------------------------- Currency loss deferral $(1,002) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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, return of capital dividends received, and the realization for tax purposes of unrealized gains on investments in passive foreign investment companies. The currency loss deferrals represent net foreign currency losses incurred in the five-month period ended March 31, 2006. The fund has elected to treat such losses as having been incurred in the following fiscal year for federal income tax purposes. 9. OTHER TAX INFORMATION (UNAUDITED) The following information is provided pursuant to provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. The fund hereby designates $11,693,495 of qualified dividend income for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006. The fund hereby designates $49,287,666 of capital gain distributions for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006. For corporate taxpayers, ordinary income distributions paid during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006, of $459,004 qualify for the corporate dividends received deduction.

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.

See Notes to Financial Statements. - ------ 22 Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm The Board of Directors and Shareholders, American Century Capital Portfolios, Inc.: We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of Real Estate Fund (the "Fund"), one of the mutual funds comprising American Century Capital Portfolios, Inc., as of March 31, 2006, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for the periods presented. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of March 31, 2006, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Real Estate Fund as of March 31, 2006, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for the periods presented, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Deloitte & Touche LLP Kansas City, Missouri May 12, 2006 - ------ 23 Management The individuals listed below serve as directors or officers of the fund. Each director serves until his or her successor is duly elected and qualified or until he or she retires. Mandatory retirement age for independent directors is 72. Those listed as interested directors are "interested" primarily by virtue of their engagement as officers of American Century Companies, Inc. (ACC) or its wholly owned, direct or indirect, subsidiaries, including the fund's investment advisor, American Century Investment Management, Inc. (ACIM); the fund's principal underwriter, American Century Investment Services, Inc. (ACIS); and the fund's transfer agent, American Century Services, LLC (ACS).

The directors serve in this capacity for seven registered investment companies in the American Century family of funds. All persons named as officers of the fund also serve in a similar capacity for the other 14 investment companies advised by ACIM or American Century Global Investment Management, Inc.

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. - ------ 27 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.

Stowers III James E. Stowers III CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD AMERICAN CENTURY COMPANIES, INC. - ------ 1 Market Perspective [photo of Phil Davidson] BY PHIL DAVIDSON, CHIEF INVESTMENT OFFICER, U.S. VALUE EQUITY STOCKS GAINED GROUND Stocks advanced strongly during the 12 months ended March 31, 2006. The S&P 500 Index, representative of the broad market, was up almost 12% for the period. The stock market overcame persistently high oil prices, investor uneasiness about inflation, and rising interest rates--factors that typically weigh on equities. The destructive Gulf Coast hurricanes in September 2005 also had a negative impact on investor confidence. However, stocks were buoyed by the resiliency of the U.S. economy, which rebounded with surprising strength in the first quarter of 2006 after a post-hurricane slowdown. In addition, corporate profits continued to expand at a higher-than-expected rate--the S&P 500 enjoyed its 15th consecutive quarter of double-digit earnings growth. SMALLER WAS BETTER Most of the major stock indexes enjoyed returns in excess of 10% for the 12-month period. Small- and mid-sized companies had the highest returns, as evidenced by the S&P SmallCap 600 Index's gain of 24%. Value and growth stocks were mixed--growth shares performed better than value at the small end of the capitalization range, while value stocks had a slight edge among larger businesses. For many investors, however, stocks still have a way to go. Despite a cumulative total return of 61% over the past three years, the S&P 500 closed the period 15% below its March 2000 record high. The Nasdaq Composite is 54% behind its 2000 zenith. YEAR OF ENERGY With oil prices increasing 20% over the period, reaching nearly $70 a barrel, energy companies posted the best returns in the S&P 500. Financial stocks also performed well as an active stock market and burgeoning merger and acquisition activity lifted capital markets companies. The high price of energy cut both ways, though, as it crimped the earnings of large energy users, either in products or production processes, as well as companies caught in the ripple effect of higher prices at the pump. Affected businesses included automakers and chemical companies, food products companies and restaurants, and retailers that operate giant fleets of trucks.

The portfolio's results reflect operating expenses whereas the index return does not. FINANCIALS LED THE WAY Every sector of the Equity Index portfolio posted positive returns during the fiscal year. Financial stocks, which comprise the largest sector weighting in the portfolio, contributed the most to the fund's return. Capital markets firms produced the best results, benefiting from the rising stock market and heavy merger-and-acquisition activity. The top contributors among capital markets stocks included Merrill Lynch, Goldman Sachs, and Lehman Brothers, each of which returned more than 40% during the period. Insurance stocks were also strong performers. The best individual performance contributor in the financial sector was insurance giant American International Group, which rebounded after an accounting scandal and the loss of its top executives. Real estate investment trusts (REITs) posted healthy returns, buoyed by the strong economy and rising commercial property values. Diversified financial services companies also performed well; JP Morgan Chase and Citigroup were among the top ten individual contributors to fund performance. TECHNOLOGY SECTOR REBOUNDED Thanks to the robust economy, a modest recovery in capital spending provided a lift to the information technology sector. Six of the fund's top ten individual performance contributors were technology stocks. Communications equipment companies were the best performers, led by fiber optics manufacturer Corning, which gained more than 140% thanks to the remarkable growth of its liquid crystal display glass business. Other communications equipment stocks among the top ten included network equipment manufacturer Cisco Systems, cell phone maker Motorola, and wireless technology company QUALCOMM. Another top-ten performer was hardware maker Hewlett-Packard, where a new CEO revitalized the business by restoring profitability to the company's PC and server segments. The best and worst individual performance contributors in the portfolio were information technology stocks.

(continued) - ------ 5 Equity Index - Portfolio Commentary contributor was the portfolio's third-largest holding, software titan Microsoft, while the bottom contributor was electronics maker Dell, which reported disappointing earnings amid increased competition in its PC business. RISING PRICES BOOSTED ENERGY As a group, energy stocks posted the best absolute returns in the portfolio as the price of oil reached a record high of more than $70 a barrel. Energy equipment and services companies outperformed over the past year, benefiting from increased drilling and production activity. The leading performer was oilfield services company Schlumberger, which gained 80% as the company benefited from its global reach and expanding profit margins. CONSUMER STOCKS LAGGED The higher energy prices that helped energy stocks weighed on the two consumer-oriented sectors of the portfolio, consumer staples and consumer discretionary, which produced the weakest returns. The auto industry suffered the largest declines--automakers General Motors and Ford Motor both fell by more than 20%, while auto parts manufacturers Dana and Delphi filed for bankruptcy. Rising energy costs also hurt discount retailers such as Wal-Mart, which was one of the biggest detractors from fund performance. Higher prices at the gas pump had the biggest impact on low- to middle-income consumers--Wal-Mart's primary customer base--and also increased delivery and shipping costs for the company. Media stocks struggled amid weak advertising revenues and increasing competition. Cable operator Comcast reported lower-than-expected profits in two consecutive quarters as subscriber growth, especially for its Internet phone service, proved disappointing. A CORE HOLDING Although the economy and stock market are off to a good start so far in 2006, many market analysts anticipate a slowdown in corporate earnings growth as the year progresses, which could create more headwinds for stocks. But regardless of where the market is headed in the short term, a broad index fund should remain a long-term core holding within a diversified portfolio.

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 October 1, 2005 to March 31, 2006. 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) - ------ 7 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 10/1/05 - EXPENSE 10/1/05 3/31/06 3/31/06 RATIO* - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- EQUITY INDEX SHAREHOLDER FEE EXAMPLE - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ACTUAL - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Investor Class $1,000 $1,061.30 $2.52 0.49% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Institutional Class $1,000 $1,062.40 $1.49 0.29% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- HYPOTHETICAL - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Investor Class $1,000 $1,022.49 $2.47 0.49% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Institutional Class $1,000 $1,023.49 $1.46 0.29% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *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 182, the number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year, divided by 365, to reflect the one-half year period. - ------ 8 Equity Index - Schedule of Investments MARCH 31, 2006 Shares Value - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- COMMON STOCKS -- 99.7% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- AEROSPACE & DEFENSE -- 2.4% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 55,222 Boeing Co. $ 4,303,456 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 27,606 General Dynamics Corp. 1,766,232 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 8,533 Goodrich Corporation 372,124 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 57,307 Honeywell International Inc. 2,451,020 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 8,373 L-3 Communications Holdings, Inc. 718,320 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 24,709 Lockheed Martin Corp. 1,856,387 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 24,196 Northrop Grumman Corp. 1,652,345 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 30,797 Raytheon Company 1,411,734 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 11,901 Rockwell Collins 670,621 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 70,074 United Technologies Corp. 4,062,190 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 19,264,429 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- AIR FREIGHT & LOGISTICS -- 1.0% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 20,960 FedEx Corporation 2,367,222 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4,195 Ryder System, Inc. 187,852 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 75,351 United Parcel Service, Inc.

------ 19 Notes to Financial Statements MARCH 31, 2006 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. 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. 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. 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), (continued) Notes to Financial Statements - ------ 20 MARCH 31, 2006 1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) 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. 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 year ended March 31, 2006 was 0.49% and 0.29% for the Investor and Institutional Classes, respectively.

BANK LINE OF CREDIT The fund, along with certain other funds managed by ACIM or ACGIM, has a $500,000,000 unsecured bank line of credit agreement with JPMCB, which was renewed from $575,000,000 effective December 14, 2005. 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 year ended March 31, 2006. 6. FEDERAL TAX INFORMATION The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended March 31, 2006 and March 31, 2005 were as follows: - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2006 2005 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DISTRIBUTIONS PAID FROM - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ordinary income $13,718,335 $17,570,378 - ------------------------------------------- Long-term capital gains -- -- - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The book-basis character of distributions made during the year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. These differences reflect the differing character of certain income items and net realized gains and losses for financial statement and tax purposes, and may result in reclassification among certain capital accounts on the financial statements. Reclassification of $21,662,860 between capital and net realized gain (loss) relates primarily to the difference in character of realized gains on redemptions in kind. As of March 31, 2006, the components of distributable earnings on a tax-basis and the federal tax cost of investments were as follows: - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Federal tax cost of investments $684,913,877 ================================================================================ Gross tax appreciation of investments $185,922,084 - ---------------------------------------------------- Gross tax depreciation of investments $(49,140,204) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net tax appreciation (depreciation) of investments $136,781,880 ================================================================================ Net tax appreciation (depreciation) on derivatives $ -- - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net tax appreciation (depreciation) $136,781,880 ================================================================================ Undistributed ordinary income $ 131,128 - ---------------------------------------------------- Accumulated long-term gains $ -- - ---------------------------------------------------- Accumulated capital losses $(71,859,380) - ---------------------------------------------------- Capital loss deferral $ (5,382,183) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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, the realization for tax purposes of unrealized gains on certain futures contracts, and return of capital dividends. 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: - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- $(2,917,398) $(10,639,477) $(49,081,784) $(1,957,751) $(1,992,016) $(5,270,954) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The capital loss deferral listed above represents net capital losses incurred in the five-month period ended March 31, 2006. The fund has elected to treat such losses as having been incurred in the following fiscal year for federal income tax purposes. (continued) - ------ 23 Notes to Financial Statements MARCH 31, 2006 7. OTHER TAX INFORMATION (UNAUDITED) The following information is provided pursuant to provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. The fund hereby designates $13,718,335 of qualified dividend income for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006. For corporate taxpayers, ordinary income distributions paid during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006, of $13,718,335 qualify for the corporate dividends received deduction. 8. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS On December 14, 2005, the Board of Directors of Mason Street Index 500 Stock Fund (Index 500), a fund in a series issued by Mason Street Funds, Inc., approved a plan of reorganization (the reorganization) pursuant to which Equity Index will acquire all of the assets of Index 500 in exchange for shares of equal value of Equity Index and the assumption by Equity Index of all liabilities of Index 500.

The acquisition was accomplished by a tax-free exchange of 33,257,723 shares of Equity Index for 11,207,846 shares of Index 500, outstanding on March 31, 2006. The net assets of Index 500 and Equity Index immediately before the acquisition were $171,655,240 and $815,558,506, respectively. Index 500's unrealized appreciation of $33,002,713 was combined with that of Equity Index.

See Notes to Financial Statements. - ------ 26 Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm The Board of Directors and Shareholders, American Century Capital Portfolios, Inc.: We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of Equity Index Fund (the "Fund"), one of the mutual funds comprising American Century Capital Portfolios, Inc., as of March 31, 2006, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for the periods presented. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of March 31, 2006, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Equity Index Fund as of March 31, 2006, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for the periods presented, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

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. - ------ 31 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.
