President’s Letter |
Dear Investor:
Thank you for investing with us during the financial reporting period ended March 31, 2009. We appreciate your trust in American Century Investments® during these challenging times.
As the calendar changed from 2008 to 2009, the financial markets continued to struggle to digest the subprime-initiated credit crisis. The ensuing global economic downturn and market turmoil affected everyone—from first-time individual investors to hundred-year-old financial institutions. During the period, risk aversion was a key theme, with performance generally favoring assets with lower risk levels and those that showed signs of stability. Effective risk management by portfolio managers delivered above-average returns, albeit still negative in many cases under these challenging market conditions.
Effective risk management requires a commitment to disciplined investment approaches that balance risk and reward, with the goal of setting and maintaining risk levels that are appropriate for portfolio objectives. At American Century Investments, we’ve stayed true to the principles that have guided us for over 50 years, including our commitments to delivering superior investment performance and helping investors reach their financial goals. Risk management is part of that commitment—we offer portfolios that can help diversify and stabilize investment returns.
As discussed by the investment team leaders in this report, 2009 is likely to be another challenging year, but I’m certain that we have the investment professionals and processes in place to provide competitive and compelling long-term results for you. Thank you for your continued confidence in us.
Sincerely,
Jonathan S. Thomas
President and Chief Executive Officer
American Century Investments

Market Perspective |
By Phil Davidson, Chief Investment Officer, U.S. Value Equity
An Unprecedented Period for Stocks
The 12 months ended March 31, 2009, represented one of the most tumultuous periods ever for the U.S. stock market. A combination of traumatic factors—a severe economic downturn, a near-collapse of the financial sector, and significantly curtailed access to credit—led to a steep decline in stocks throughout much of the 12-month period.
The U.S. economy contracted in each of the last three quarters of the period, extending a recession that began in late 2007. The unemployment rate hit a 26-year high as the economy shed more than five million jobs since the beginning of 2008. The housing market deteriorated further, and retail spending declined as consumers moved to reduce debt and increase savings.
The troubled financial sector also weighed on stocks during the period. The consolidation that reshaped the sector in recent years led to the formation of financial conglomerates and huge investment banks. These enormous institutions ventured into risky new forms of investing, often with substantial leverage. As a result of rising defaults on lending of all kinds, the credit markets froze, and several of these financial giants collapsed. The federal government created an alphabet soup of programs designed to shore up the financial sector, but it remains a work in progress.
Value Lagged
Value stocks underperformed their growth-oriented counterparts across all market capitalizations during the 12-month period (see the accompanying table). Virtually all of this underperformance occurred in the final three months of the period as investors began to shift into beaten-down growth sectors in anticipation of a nascent economic recovery before the end of 2009.
The unprecedented events during the past year were a reminder of how risky stocks can be. For value investors, however, there is a silver lining in this dark market cloud. In the wake of indiscriminate selling across the market, we have been able to purchase shares of higher-quality companies at extremely attractive valuation levels. Moreover, thanks to our emphasis on strong balance sheets, we have largely been insulated from the many companies whose dividends have been under pressure.

Portfolio Commentary
Mid Cap Value
Portfolio Managers: Kevin Toney, Michael Liss, and Phil Davidson
Performance Summary
Mid Cap Value declined -29.66%* for the 12 months ended March 31, 2009. By comparison, the average return for Morningstar’s Mid Cap Value category** (whose performance, like Mid Cap Value’s, reflects operating expenses) was -39.94%. The fund’s benchmark, the Russell Midcap Value Index, fell -42.51%. Its returns do not include operating expenses.
The volatile market environment described in the Market Perspective on page 2 hampered Mid Cap Value’s absolute performance. However, on a relative basis, the portfolio significantly outpaced the performance of its benchmark, the Russell Midcap Value Index. Mid Cap Value outperformed largely because of effective security selection and our continued emphasis on less-risky businesses with sound balance sheets. The portfolio benefited the most from its position in the financials, utilities, and materials sectors. Holdings in information technology detracted.
Since its inception on March 31, 2004, Mid Cap Value has produced an average annual return of 0.15%, topping the returns for that period for Morningstar’s Mid Cap Value category average and the Russell Midcap Value Index (see the performance information on pages 3-4).
Financials Contributed the Most
Many financials stocks suffered deep declines, but our focus on higher-quality companies with strong balance sheets and reliable funding sources boosted relative outperformance. A significant underweight position in real estate investment trusts (REITs), which were down more than 57% in the benchmark, bolstered relative performance. Many REITs are burdened with significantly overleveraged balance sheets and large off-balance sheet capital commitments.
Two financials holdings were leading contributors—People’s United Financial and Chubb Corp. A conservatively run, well-capitalized thrift, People’s United has avoided most of the issues adversely affecting other financials. Chubb, a property and casualty insurer, maintains a sound investment portfolio and could gain market share as American International Group (AIG) continues to struggle.
Financials was also the source of a top detractor, asset manager Alliance-Bernstein Holding LP. Weak investment performance and broadly negative returns in the equity markets have driven a decline in assets under management at the firm.

Mid Cap Value
Utilities Enhanced Results
Utilities Enhanced Results
Security selection—particularly long-term investments in electric and gas utilities—aided relative performance. A notable position was WGL Holdings, which provides natural gas to Washington, D.C., and surrounding metropolitan areas in Maryland and Virginia. The company’s strong balance sheet, stable business model, predictable returns on capital, and solid dividend are representative of the characteristics we seek for the portfolio.
Moreover, because of valuations and higher-risk business models, the portfolio did not hold any independent power producers; the segment declined more than 75% in the benchmark. Conversely, its progress was hampered by a lack of exposure to electric and natural gas provider, PG&E Corp. The company has executed on its business plan and is benefiting from an advantageous regulatory environment.
Materials Added Value
In materials, strong security selection among containers and packaging companies added to results. Top contributor Bemis Co., a major producer of flexible packaging primarily for the food industry, benefited from stable end market demand and falling resin costs.
Information Technology Detracted
Within information technology, the communications equipment industry provided a notable detractor. Emulex, a provider of storage networking infrastructure solutions, underperformed as demand for its products waned along with shrinking corporate information technology budgets. Uncertainty about evolving technology standards within the network storage market also concerned investors.
Outlook
We continue to follow our disciplined, bottom-up process, selecting companies one at a time for the portfolio. As of March 31, 2009, we see opportunities in consumer staples, health care, and industrials stocks, reflected by overweight positions in these sectors, relative to the benchmark. Our fundamental analysis and valuation work are also directing us toward smaller relative weightings in financials, consumer discretionary, and utilities stocks.

Performance Summary
Portfolio Managers: Ben Giele and James Pitman
Performance Summary
Small Cap Value returned -31.69%* for the 12 months ended March 31, 2009. By comparison, its benchmark, the Russell 2000 Value Index, returned -38.89%. The portfolio’s returns reflect operating expenses while the index’s returns do not. The Lipper Small-Cap Value Funds Index, which includes operating expenses, returned -38.07%.**
The volatile market environment described in the Market Perspective on page 2 hampered Small Cap Value’s absolute performance. However, on a relative basis, the portfolio outpaced the performance of its benchmark, the Russell 2000 Value Index. U.S. equity indexes were universally down over the 12 months while growth outperformed value across the capitalization spectrum. Small Cap Value outperformed largely because of effective security selection and our continued emphasis on less-risky businesses with sound balance sheets. The portfolio benefited from holdings among financials, consumer discretionary, and industrials stocks. Its position in the energy and utilities sectors detracted.
Since Small Cap Value’s inception on July 31, 1998, the portfolio has produced an average annual return of 7.26%, outpacing the returns of the Russell 2000 Value Index and the Lipper Small-Cap Value Funds Index for the same period (see performance information on pages 8-9).
Financials Boosted Results
Many financials stocks suffered deep declines during the year, but our focus on higher-quality companies with strong balance sheets and reliable funding sources allowed us to sidestep much of the damage. One of our largest contributors was in HCC Insurance, a property casualty insurer which benefited from its conservative underwriting, capital structure, and investment portfolio.
Two other notable contributors were asset managers Waddell & Reed Financial and Federated Investors. Waddell performed particularly well as financials rallied toward the end of the period. Federated Investors, one of the nation’s largest money-market fund managers, benefited from a flight to cash late in 2008 when it received $68.1 billion in new money market assets.
Consumer Discretionary Added Value
As the economy weakened, Americans reduced their discretionary spending and consumer discretionary stocks faltered, declining more than -51% in the benchmark. But effective security selection made this sector the portfolio’s second strongest in relative terms. A key holding was Chipotle Mexican Grill, a casual restaurant chain with a solid balance sheet and a strong growth profile.

** | The Lipper Small-Cap Value Funds Index returned -4.56%, 5.47% and 3.63% for the five-, ten-year and since inception periods ended March 31, 2009, respectively. |

Small Cap Value
Industrials Contributed
Industrials Contributed
In the industrials sector, which has been hurt by the global recession and declining commodity prices, the portfolio’s mix of stocks was advantageous. A significant contributor was Granite Construction, a builder of highways, dams, airport infrastructure, and mass transit facilities. The company reported an increase in 2008 profit and stands to benefit from federal and state government infrastructure spending.
Energy Detracted
The portfolio’s allocation to the energy sector—which declined 61% in the benchmark—was a drag on results. As energy prices declined, many of these names underperformed. In particular, our overweight in the energy equipment and services industry was detrimental. Two top detractors were Global Industries Ltd., an offshore construction company that builds pipelines and drilling platforms around the world; and Helix Energy Solutions Group, an international offshore energy company providing development solutions and other contracting services to the energy market. Global Industries was hampered by logistical challenges and production delays (some of them weather related), which slowed the company’s progress on key projects. Helix reported lower-than-expected revenues, resulting from the decline in energy prices and a drop in production.
Outlook
We continue to be bottom-up investment managers, evaluating each company individually and building the portfolio one stock at a time. In our search for companies that are undervalued, we will structure exposure to market segments based on the attractiveness of individual companies. As of March 31, 2009, the portfolio is broadly diversified, with larger positions than the benchmark in health care, energy, and industrials. Our fundamental analysis and valuation work is also directing us toward a smaller relative weighting in financials and utilities stocks.

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, 2008 to March 31, 2009.
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 Investments fund, or Institutional Class shares of the American Century Diversified Bond Fund, in an American Century Investments account (i.e., not a financial intermediary or retirement plan account), American Century Investments 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 Investments 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 Investments 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.
13
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The table also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual expense ratio of each class of your fund and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the actual return of a fund’s share class. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption/exchange fees. Therefore, the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

MARCH 31, 2009
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. Mid Cap Value Fund (Mid Cap Value) and Small Cap Value Fund (Small Cap 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 objective is to seek long-term capital growth. The production of income is a secondary objective. Mid Cap Value pursues 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 pursues 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 — 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 and the Advisor Class. Prior to December 3, 2007, Small Cap Value was authorized to issue the C Class (see Note 12). The share classes differ principally in their respective distribution and shareholder servicing 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.
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. Investments in open-end management investment companies are valued at the reported net asset value. 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. Securities traded on foreign securities exchanges and over-the-counter markets are normally completed before the close of business on days that the New York Stock Exchange (the Exchange) is open and may also take place on days when the Exchange is not open. If an event occurs after the value of a security was established but before the net asset value per share was determined that was likely to materially change the net asset value, that security would be valued as determined in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Directors. 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 as determined by the Board of Directors or its designee, in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Directors, if such determination would materially impact a fund’s net asset value. Certain other circumstances may cause the funds to use alternative procedures to value a security such as: a security has been declared in default; trading in a security has been halted during the trading day; or there is a foreign market holiday and no trading will commence.
Security Transactions — For financial reporting purposes, 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.
29
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 funds estimate the components of distributions received that may be considered nontaxable distributions or capital gain distributions for income tax purposes. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis and includes accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums.
Securities on Loan — The funds may lend portfolio securities through their lending agent to certain approved borrowers in order to earn additional income. The income earned, net of any rebates or fees, is included in the Statement of Operations. The funds continue to recognize any gain or loss in the market price of the securities loaned and record any interest earned or dividends declared.
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 fees and expenses that reduce their value.
Business Development Companies — Small Cap Value may invest in securities of closed-end investment companies that have elected to be treated as a business development company under the 1940 Act. A business development company operates similar to an exchange traded fund and represents a portfolio of securities. Small Cap Value may purchase a business development company to gain exposure to the securities in the underlying portfolio. The risks of owning a business development company generally reflect the risks of owning the underlying securities. Business development companies have expenses, which reduce their value.
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.
30
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 certain other funds in the American Century Investments family of funds, 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. The funds are no longer subject to examination by tax authorities for years prior to 2006. At this time, management believes there are no uncertain tax positions which, based on their technical merit, would not be sustained upon examination and for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. Accordingly, no provision has been made for federal or state income taxes. Interest and penalties associated with any federal or state income tax obligations, if any, are recorded as interest expense.
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 each fund’s assets as well as certain assets, if any, of other clients of the investment advisor outside the American Century Investments family of funds (such as subadvised funds and separate accounts) that have very similar
31
investment teams and investment strategies (strategy assets). The annual management fee schedule for Mid Cap Value is 1.00%, 0.80%, 1.00% and 1.00% for the Investor Class, Institutional Class, Advisor Class and R Class, respectively. The annual management fee schedule for Small Cap Value ranges from 1.00% to 1.25% for the Investor Class and Advisor Class. The Institutional Class is 0.20% less at each point within the range for Small Cap Value.
The effective annual management fee for each class of each fund for the year ended March 31, 2009, was as follows:
Mid Cap Value | Small Cap Value | |
Investor | 1.00% | 1.25% |
Institutional | 0.80% | 1.05% |
Advisor | 1.00% | 1.25% |
R | 1.00% | N/A |
Distribution and Service Fees — The Board of Directors has adopted a separate Master Distribution and Individual Shareholder Services Plan for each of the Advisor Class and R Class (collectively the plans), pursuant to Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act. The plans provide that the Advisor Class will pay American Century Investment Services, Inc. (ACIS) an annual distribution and service fee of 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 fees are used to pay financial intermediaries for distribution and individual shareholder services. Fees incurred under the plans during the year ended March 31, 2009, are detailed in the Statement of Operations.
Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses — The funds may invest in mutual funds, exchange traded funds, and business development companies (the acquired funds). Each fund will indirectly realize its pro rata share of the fees and expenses of the acquired funds in which it invests. These indirect fees and expenses are not paid out of the fund’s assets but are reflected in the return realized by the fund on its investment in the acquired funds.
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.

5. Securities Lending
As of March 31, 2009 the funds did not have any securities on loan. 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 funds’ 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 the funds may be delayed or limited. Investments made with cash collateral may decline in value.

6. Affiliated Company Transactions
If a fund’s holding represents ownership of 5% or more of the voting securities of a company, the company is affiliated as defined in the 1940 Act. A summary of transactions for each company which is or was an affiliate at or during the year ended March 31, 2009, follows:

7. Fair Value Measurements
The funds’ securities valuation process is based on several considerations and may use multiple inputs to determine the fair value of the positions held by the funds. In conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the inputs used to determine a valuation are classified into three broad levels as follows:
• Level 1 valuation inputs consist of actual quoted prices based on an active market;
• Level 2 valuation inputs consist of significant direct or indirect observable market data; or
• Level 3 valuation inputs consist of significant unobservable inputs such as a fund’s own assumptions.
The level classification is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair valuation measurement. The valuation inputs are not an indication of the risks associated with investing in these securities or other financial instruments.
The following is a summary of the valuation inputs used to determine the fair value of the funds’ securities and other financial instruments as of March 31, 2009:
Unrealized Gain (Loss) on | ||
Fund/Valuation Inputs | Value of Investment Securities | Other Financial Instruments* |
Mid Cap Value | ||
Level 1 – Quoted Prices | $253,993,855 | — |
Level 2 – Other Significant Observable Inputs | 5,218,567 | $29,944 |
Level 3 – Significant Unobservable Inputs | — | — |
$259,212,422 | $29,944 | |
*Includes forward foreign currency exchange contracts. |

Fund/Valuation Inputs | Value of Investment Securities |
Small Cap Value | |
Level 1 – Quoted Prices | $828,729,249 |
Level 2 – Other Significant Observable Inputs | 68,573,445 |
Level 3 – Significant Unobservable Inputs | — |
$897,302,694 |
8. 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. In addition, Small Cap Value’s performance may be affected by investments in initial public offerings (IPOs). The impact of IPOs on a fund’s performance depends on the strength of the IPO market and the size of the fund. IPOs may have less impact on a fund’s performance as its assets grow.
9. Bank Line of Credit
The funds, along with certain other funds in the American Century Investments family of funds, had a $500,000,000 unsecured bank line of credit agreement with Bank of America, N.A. The line expired December 10, 2008, and was not renewed. The agreement allowed the funds to borrow money for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions. Borrowings under the agreement were subject to interest at the Federal Funds rate plus 0.40%. The funds did not borrow from the line during the year ended March 31, 2009.
10. Interfund Lending
The funds, along with certain other funds in the American Century Investments family of funds, may participate in an interfund lending program, pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). This program provides an alternative credit facility allowing the funds to borrow from or lend to other funds in the American Century Investments family of funds that permit such transactions. Interfund lending transactions are subject to each fund’s investment policies and borrowing and lending limits. The interfund loan rate earned/paid on interfund lending transactions is determined daily based on the average of certain current market rates. Interfund lending transactions normally extend only overnight, but can have a maximum duration of seven days. The program is subject to annual approval by the Board of Directors. During the year ended March 31, 2009, the funds did not utilize the program.
11. Federal Tax Information
The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended March 31, 2009 and March 31, 2008 were as follows:
Mid Cap Value | Small Cap Value | |||
2009 | 2008 | 2009 | 2008 | |
Distributions Paid From | ||||
Ordinary income | $5,980,282 | $27,984,860 | $22,252,662 | $168,602,495 |
Long-term capital gains | — | $10,358,077 | $1,394,191 | $169,847,641 |
36
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, 2009, the components of distributable earnings on a tax-basis and the federal tax cost of investments were as follows:
Mid Cap Value | Small Cap Value | |
Federal tax cost of investments | $338,712,495 | $1,258,507,966 |
Gross tax appreciation of investments | $ 701,195 | $ 20,341,945 |
Gross tax depreciation of investments | (80,201,268) | $ (381,547,217) |
Net tax appreciation (depreciation) of investments | $(79,500,073) | $(361,205,272) |
Net tax appreciation (depreciation) on derivatives and | ||
translation of assets and liabilities in foreign currencies | $ (1,134) | — |
Net tax appreciation (depreciation) | $(79,501,207) | $(361,205,272) |
Undistributed ordinary income | $264,128 | $4,547,075 |
Accumulated capital losses | $(37,541,838) | $(77,582,460) |
Capital loss deferrals | $(35,895,371) | $(199,584,573) |
Currency loss deferrals | $(179,925) | — |
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 certain forward foreign currency exchange contracts.
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 in 2017.
The capital and currency loss deferrals listed above represent net capital and foreign currency losses incurred in the five-month period ended March 31, 2009. The funds have elected to treat such losses as having been incurred in the following fiscal year for federal income tax purposes.
12. Corporate Event
On July 27, 2007, the C Class shareholders of Small Cap Value approved a reclassification of C Class shares into Advisor Class shares. The reclassification was effective December 3, 2007. The change was approved by the Board of Directors on November 29, 2006 and March 7, 2007.
37
13. Recently Issued Accounting Standards
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (FAS 157), in September 2006, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. FAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands the required financial statement disclosures about fair value measurements. The adoption of FAS 157 did not materially impact the determination of fair value.
In March 2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities — an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133” (FAS 161). FAS 161 is effective for interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. FAS 161 amends and expands disclosures about derivative instruments and hedging activities. FAS 161 requires qualitative disclosures about the objectives and strategies of derivative instruments, quantitative disclosures about the fair value amounts of and gains and losses on derivative instruments, and disclosures of credit-risk-related contingent features in hedging activities. Management is currently evaluating the impact that adopting FAS 161 will have on the financial statement disclosures.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm |
The Board of Directors and Shareholders,
American Century Capital Portfolios, Inc.:
American Century Capital Portfolios, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of Mid Cap Value Fund and Small Cap Value Fund, two of the mutual funds constituting American Century Capital Portfolios, Inc. (the “Corporation”), as of March 31, 2009, 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 each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Corporation’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 Corporation 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 Corporation’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, 2009, 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 respective financial positions of Mid Cap Value Fund and Small Cap Value Fund of American Century Capital Portfolios, Inc. as of March 31, 2009, 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 each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Management |
The individuals listed below serve as directors or officers of the funds. 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 directors and/or officers of, or ownership interest in, American Century Companies, Inc. (ACC) or its wholly owned, direct or indirect, subsidiaries, including the funds’ investment advisor, American Century Investment Management, Inc. (ACIM or the advisor); the funds’ principal underwriter, American Century Investment Services, Inc. (ACIS); and the funds’ transfer agent, American Century Services, LLC (ACS).
The other directors (more than three-fourths of the total number) are independent; that is, they have never been employees, directors or officers of, and have no financial interest in, ACC or any of its wholly owned, direct or indirect, subsidiaries, including ACIM, ACIS and ACS. The directors serve in this capacity for seven registered investment companies in the American Century Investments family of funds.
All persons named as officers of the funds also serve in similar capacities for the other 14 investment companies in the American Century Investments family of funds advised by ACIM or American Century Global Investment Management, Inc. (ACGIM), a wholly owned subsidiary of ACIM, unless otherwise noted. Only officers with policy-making functions are listed. No officer is compensated for his or her service as an officer of the funds. The listed officers are interested persons of the funds and are appointed or re-appointed on an annual basis.

Additional Information |
Retirement Account Information
As required by law, distributions you receive from certain IRAs, or 403(b), 457 and qualified plans 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. 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. You can reduce or defer the income tax on a distribution by directly or indirectly rolling such distribution over to another IRA or eligible plan. You should consult your tax advisor for additional information.
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.

President’s Letter |
Dear Investor:
Thank you for investing with us during the financial reporting period ended March 31, 2009. We appreciate your trust in American Century Investments® during these challenging times.
As the calendar changed from 2008 to 2009, the financial markets continued to struggle to digest the subprime-initiated credit crisis. The ensuing global economic downturn and market turmoil affected everyone—from first-time individual investors to hundred-year-old financial institutions. During the period, risk aversion was a key theme with performance generally favoring assets with lower risk levels and those that showed signs of stability. Effective risk management by portfolio managers delivered above-average returns, albeit still negative in many cases under these challenging market conditions.
Effective risk management requires a commitment to disciplined investment approaches that balance risk and reward, with the goal of setting and maintaining risk levels that are appropriate for portfolio objectives. At American Century Investments, we’ve stayed true to the principles that have guided us for over 50 years, including our commitments to delivering superior investment performance and helping investors reach their financial goals. Risk management is part of that commitment—we offer portfolios that can help diversify and stabilize investment returns.
As discussed by the investment team leaders in this report, 2009 is likely to be another challenging year, but I’m certain that we have the investment professionals and processes in place to provide competitive and compelling long-term results for you. Thank you for your continued confidence in us.
Sincerely,
Jonathan S. Thomas
President and Chief Executive Officer

Market Perspective |
By Phil Davidson, Chief Investment Officer, U.S. Value Equity
An Unprecedented Period for Stocks
The 12 months ended March 31, 2009, represented one of the most tumultuous periods ever for the U.S. stock market. A combination of traumatic factors—a severe economic downturn, a near-collapse of the financial sector, and significantly curtailed access to credit—led to a steep decline in stocks throughout much of the 12-month period.
The U.S. economy contracted in each of the last three quarters of the period, extending a recession that began in late 2007. The unemployment rate hit a 26-year high as the economy shed more than five million jobs since the beginning of 2008. The housing market deteriorated further, and retail spending declined as consumers moved to reduce debt and increase savings.
The troubled financial sector also weighed on stocks during the period. The consolidation that reshaped the sector in recent years led to the formation of financial conglomerates and huge investment banks. These enormous institutions ventured into risky new forms of investing, often with substantial leverage. As a result of rising defaults on lending of all kinds, the credit markets froze, and several of these financial giants collapsed. The federal government created an alphabet soup of programs designed to shore up the financial sector, but it remains a work in progress.
Value Lagged
Value stocks underperformed their growth-oriented counterparts across all market capitalizations during the 12-month period (see the accompanying table). Virtually all of this underperformance occurred in the final three months of the period as investors began to shift into beaten-down growth sectors in anticipation of a nascent economic recovery before the end of 2009.
The unprecedented events during the past year were a reminder of how risky stocks can be. For value investors, however, there is a silver lining in this dark market cloud. In the wake of indiscriminate selling across the market, we have been able to purchase shares of higher-quality companies at extremely attractive valuation levels. Moreover, thanks to our emphasis on strong balance sheets, we have largely been insulated from the many companies whose dividends have been under pressure.

Portfolio Commentary |
Equity Income |
Portfolio Managers: Phil Davidson, Kevin Toney, and Michael Liss
Performance Summary
Equity Income declined -22.98%* for the 12 months ended March 31, 2009. By comparison, the Lipper Equity Income Funds Index fell -38.12%, and the average return for Morningstar’s Large Cap Value category** (whose performance, like Equity Income’s, reflects operating expenses) was -40.23% Two market indices—the Russell 3000 Value Index and the S&P 500 Index—dropped -42.14% and -38.09%, respectively. The portfolio’s return reflects operating expenses, while the indices’ returns do not.
The volatile market environment described in the Market Perspective on page 2 hampered Equity Income’s absolute performance. However, on a relative basis, the portfolio significantly outpaced the performance of its benchmark, the Russell 3000 Value Index. The key to our results was our continued focus on higher-quality businesses with sound balance sheets. Performance benefited most from strong security selection across financials, health care, and energy. Only one sector, consumer discretionary, detracted from relative progress, and its impact was slight.
Since its inception on August 1, 1994, Equity Income has produced an average annual return of 9.50%, topping the returns for the Lipper Equity Income Funds Index, Morningstar’s Large Cap Value category average,** the Russell 3000 Value Index, and the S&P 500 Index for the same period (see performance information on pages 3–4).
Financials Boosted Performance
Security selection across the financials sector contributed the most to Equity Income’s performance against the benchmark, with the results driven both by what the portfolio owned, as well as the businesses it avoided. Our decision to underweight the sector was also beneficial in relative terms. A key contributor was Marsh & McLennan, a leading insurance broker. Marsh continued to show performance within its key insurance brokerage segment, and seems likely to benefit from new management and the collapse of American International Group’s (AIG) insurance business.
Furthermore, because we emphasize higher-quality companies with strong balance sheets, we avoided many of the headline names in financials that stumbled during the period, including AIG, Lehman Brothers, and Citigroup
Health Care Added Value
Security selection in the health care sector was also advantageous for the portfolio. Two notable holdings were Bristol-Myers Squibb and an investment in Beckman Coulter’s convertible security. As the pharmaceutical industry consolidates, Bristol-Myers Squibb is seen as a potential takeover

** The average returns for Morningstar’s Large Cap Value category were -5.30% and -0.72% for the five- and ten-year periods ended March 31, 2009, |
respectively, and 5.10% since the fund’s inception. © 2009 Morningstar, Inc. All Rights Reserved. The information contained herein: (1) is proprietary |

target. Beckman Coulter, which makes diagnostic laboratory instruments, benefited from strong sales in a recessionary environment. Better-than-expected 2009 earnings guidance sent its share price higher.
Energy Boosted Results
Security selection among large integrated oil companies added value during a period in which oil and gas prices declined, squeezing margins. Equity Income benefited from its focus on businesses with access to low-cost reserves and less-volatile earnings streams. A top contributor was Exxon Mobil, a well-managed company with a high-quality balance sheet, which has been resilient in the face of fluctuating energy prices because of its solid earnings and cash flow.
Consumer Discretionary Slowed Progress
Consumer discretionary was the single detracting sector on a relative basis. In specialty retailing, the portfolio did not own Home Depot, which had a gain for the period. Within the home remodeling space, the portfolio owns Lowe’s, which the management team believes has the better long-term outlook due to its financial strength and strong positioning in the home-improvement market. Lowe’s reported weaker-than-anticipated results for the fourth quarter 2008, while lowering its guidance modestly for 2009. The team regards both situations as manageable, transitory issues.
In household durables, performance was hampered by a position in Whirlpool Corp., the world’s leading maker of major home appliances. Whirlpool reported a sharp drop in profit and cash flow driven by a decline in worldwide demand. We eliminated the position during the period.
Outlook
We will continue to follow our disciplined, bottom-up investment process, selecting companies one at a time for the portfolio. As of March 31, 2009, we see attractive opportunities in consumer staples, energy, and information technology, reflected by our overweight positions in these sectors. We continue to be selective in holdings of financials, consumer discretionary, and materials companies, relying on fundamental analysis to identify strong, financially-sound businesses whose securities provide attractive yields.

Portfolio Commentary |
Value |
Portfolio Managers: Michael Liss, Kevin Toney, and Phil Davidson
Performance Summary
Value declined -32.34%* for the 12 months ended March 31, 2009. By comparison, the Lipper Multi-Cap Value Funds Index fell -38.70%, while the average return for Morningstar’s Large Cap Value category** (whose performance, like Value’s, reflects operating expenses) was -40.23%. Two market indices—the Russell 3000 Value Index and the S&P 500 Index—dropped -42.14% and -38.09%, respectively. The portfolio’s return reflects operating expenses, while the indices’ returns do not.
The volatile market environment described in the Market Perspective on page 2 hampered Value’s absolute performance. However, on a relative basis, the portfolio significantly outpaced the performance of its benchmark, the Russell 3000 Value Index. Value outperformed largely because of effective security selection and a continued emphasis on less-risky businesses with sound balance sheets. The portfolio benefited the most from its position in the financials, materials, and consumer staples sectors. Investments in consumer discretionary stocks detracted.
Since Value’s inception on September 1, 1993, the portfolio has produced an average annual return of 7.28%, topping the returns for that period for the Lipper Multi-Cap Value Funds Index, Morningstar’s Large Cap Value category average,** the Russell 3000 Value Index, and the S&P 500 Index (see the performance information on pages 8–9).
Financials Enhanced Performance
We perceived more risk than reward in the financials sector, the benchmark’s weakest performer of the period. As a result, we maintained a significant underweight. Our focus on higher-quality companies with strong balance sheets and reliable funding sources helped us steer clear of several headline names, including financial giant Citigroup and bank holding company Wachovia Corp. Furthermore, for much of the one-year reporting period, the portfolio did not hold any real estate investment trusts (REITs), which were down more than 55%.
Strong security selection also added to relative progress. A key contributor was insurance broker Marsh & McLennan. Marsh continued to show improved performance within its key insurance brokerage segment, and seems likely to benefit from new management and the collapse of American International Group’s (AIG) insurance business.
Materials Contributed
The portfolio’s mix of materials stocks—many of which have weathered the economic downturn relatively well—enhanced performance. We also concentrated our materials investments in companies with strong business

**The average returns for Morningstar’s Large Cap Value category were - -5.30% and -0.72% for the five- and ten-year periods ended March 31, 2009, respectively, and 5.20% since the fund’s inception. © 2009 Morningstar, Inc.

Value
models that were less vulnerable to commodities prices. Value benefited from a lack of exposure to metals and mining companies. Our belief that their earnings were at peak levels and unsustainable proved advantageous as commodity prices fell.
Strong security selection also yielded a top contributor, Bemis Co. Bemis, a major producer of flexible packaging, primarily for the food industry, reported an increase in profits from the sales of its flexible and dry-food packaging products.
Consumer Staples Added Value
The portfolio benefited from an overweight in consumer staples, a position we gradually reduced as its risk-reward characteristics became less attractive over the period. Effective security selection, particularly among food and household products stocks, also enhanced results. A leading contributor was Kimberly-Clark, a maker of personal-care and paper products. Although its earnings have declined, the company is responding quickly to competition from cheaper brands by fine-tuning its pricing and marketing strategies. It also increased its dividend at a time when many companies are cutting their dividends.
Consumer Discretionary Detracted
The portfolio’s performance was hampered by an underweight in specialty retailers. Value did not own Home Depot, which outperformed for the benchmark. The home improvement retailer reported a fourth-quarter loss due in large part to its restructuring costs and declining consumer demand. Nevertheless, investors pushed up the share price, perhaps in expectation of a housing rebound.
The sector was the source of notable detractor Whirlpool Corp. The appliance maker reported a sharp drop in profit driven by a decline in worldwide demand.
Outlook
We will continue to follow our disciplined, bottom-up process, selecting securities one at a time for the portfolio. As of March 31, 2009, we see opportunities in information technology, consumer staples, and industrials, reflected by overweight positions in these sectors relative to the benchmark. Our fundamental analysis and valuation work are also directing us toward relative underweights in financials stocks.

Portfolio Commentary |
Large Company Value |
Portfolio Managers: Chuck Ritter and Brendan Healy |
Performance Summary
Large Company Value declined -41.07%* for the 12 months ended March 31, 2009. By comparison, its benchmark, the Russell 1000 Value Index, returned - -42.42%. The broader market, as measured by the S&P 500 Index, returned - -38.09%. The portfolio’s return reflects operating expenses, while the indices’ returns do not. The average return for Morningstar’s Large Cap Value category (whose performance, like Large Company Value’s, reflects operating expenses) was - -40.23%.**
Although the volatile market environment described in the Market Perspective on page 2 hampered Large Company Value’s absolute performance, the portfolio outpaced its benchmark index. U.S. equity indexes were universally down over the 12 months and value underperformed growth across the capitalization spectrum. Some of the largest declines were among mega-cap value stocks (shares of especially large companies, represented by the Russell Top 200 Value Index). The portfolio outperformed largely because of its position in the information technology, consumer discretionary, consumer staples, and energy sectors. Its complement of utilities and industrials stocks detracted.
Since Large Company Value’s inception on July 30, 1999, the portfolio has produced an average annual return of -0.67%, topping the returns for Morningstar’s Large Cap Value category average,** the Russell 1000 Value Index, and the S&P 500 Index for that period (see performance information on pages 13–14).
Information Technology Powered Results
The portfolio’s overweight in information technology boosted relative performance. Our preference for industry leaders, such as Oracle, Micro-soft and Hewlett-Packard, was also advantageous. These companies are attractive investments not only because they have stable business models and solid balance sheets but because we believe they will benefit from the economic recovery.
The sector was also the source of top contributor International Business Machines Corp. (IBM). IBM’s shares rose after the company reaffirmed its 2009 earnings-per-share outlook, due in part to strong growth in services-contract signings.
Consumer Discretionary, Consumer Staples Contributed
Security selection in the consumer discretionary sector added to relative results. The sector provided some of the portfolio’s most significant performers—Best Buy Co., Staples, Kohl’s Corp., and H&R Block.
* All fund returns referenced in this commentary are for Investor Class shares.

Large Company Value
Electronics retailer Best Buy Co., which is not represented in the benchmark, executed well in the difficult environment and seems likely to benefit from the bankruptcy of competitor Circuit City.
Consumer discretionary also supplied a notable detractor, Gannett Co. The newspaper publisher has struggled to manage costs in the face of declining advertising revenue. We took advantage of the market rally in March 2009 to sell the position and reallocate the assets to more attractive companies within the media industry.
The consumer staples sector provided a number of strong performers, especially among food and staples retailers. A significant contributor was Wal-Mart Stores. The retailer’s low-price strategy paid off as the economic recession put pressure on consumers.
Energy Added Value
In the energy sector, the portfolio benefited from its focus on companies less vulnerable to fluctuations in the price of oil and gas. This posture dampened relative performance when energy prices rose dramatically early in the period. However, as the global economy slowed and prices declined, our bias proved advantageous. A top holding was Chevron Corp., which reported that a rebound in its refining operations had mitigated the impact of falling oil prices.
Utilities and Industrials Hindered Progress
The portfolio’s underweight in utilities—established because we believe many of these stocks are overvalued—was a drag on results.
The industrials sector was a source of relative weakness. Even large, well-managed companies have not been immune to the global economic downturn. A notable detractor was construction equipment maker Caterpillar, which announced lower profits resulting from higher operating costs and unfavorable foreign-exchange rates.
Outlook
We continue to be bottom-up investment managers, evaluating each company individually and building the portfolio one stock at a time. Large Company Value is broadly diversified, with ongoing overweight positions in the information technology, consumer discretionary, and industrials sectors. Our valuation work is also directing us toward smaller relative weightings in financials and utilities stocks.

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, 2008 to March 31, 2009.
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 Investments fund, or Institutional Class shares of the American Century Diversified Bond Fund, in an American Century Investments account (i.e., not a financial intermediary or retirement plan account), American Century Investments 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 Investments 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 Investments 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.

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.

MARCH 31, 2009
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 Income Fund (Equity Income), Value Fund (Value) and Large Company Value Fund (Large Company 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 to seek 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. Value and Large Company Value’s investment objective is to seek long-term capital growth; income is a secondary objective. Value and Large Company Value pursue their investment objective by investing in stocks of companies that management believes to be undervalued at the time of purchase. Value invests in companies with small, medium, and large market capitalization and Large Company Value invests in companies with larger market capitalization. The following is a summary of the funds’ significant accounting policies.
Multiple Class — The funds are authorized to issue the Investor Class, the Institutional Class, the A Class (formerly Advisor 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 distribution and shareholder servicing 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 Equity Income’s B Class commenced on September 28, 2007.
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. Investments in open-end management investment companies are valued at the reported net asset value. 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. Securities traded on foreign securities exchanges and over-the-counter markets are normally completed before the close of business on days that the New York Stock Exchange (the Exchange) is open and may also take place on days when the Exchange is not open. If an event occurs after the value of a security was established but before the net asset value per share was determined that was likely to materially change the net asset value, that security would be valued as determined in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Directors. 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 as determined by the Board of Directors or its designee, in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Directors, if such determination would materially impact a fund’s net asset value. Certain other circumstances may cause the funds to use alternative procedures to value a security such as: a security has been declared in default; trading in a security has been halted during the trading day; or there is a foreign market holiday and no trading will commence.
Security Transactions — For financial reporting purposes, 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.
35
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 — The funds may lend portfolio securities through their lending agent to certain approved borrowers in order to earn additional income. The income earned, net of any rebates or fees, is included in the Statement of Operations. The funds continue to recognize any gain or loss in the market price of the securities loaned and record any interest earned or dividends declared.
Futures Contracts — The funds may enter into futures contracts in order to manage the funds’ 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 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 futures transactions and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on futures, 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.
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.
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 fees and expenses that reduce their value.
36
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 certain other funds in the American Century family of funds, 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. The funds are no longer subject to examination by tax authorities for years prior to 2006. At this time, management believes there are no uncertain tax positions which, based on their technical merit, would not be sustained upon examination and for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. Accordingly, no provision has been made for federal or state income taxes. Interest and penalties associated with any federal or state income tax obligations, if any, are recorded as interest expense.
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.
37
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 each fund’s assets as well as certain assets, if any, of other clients of the investment advisor outside the American Century Investments family of funds (such as subadvised funds and separate accounts) that have very similar investment teams and investment strategies (strategy assets). The annual management fee schedule for Equity Income ranges from 0.80% to 1.00% for the Investor Class, A Class, B Class, C Class and R Class. The annual management fee schedule for Value ranges from 0.85% to 1.00% for the Investor Class, A Class, B Class, C Class and R Class. The annual management fee schedule for Large Company Value ranges from 0.70% to 0.90% for the Investor Class, A Class, B Class, C Class and R Class. The Institutional Class of each fund is 0.20% less at each point within the range.
The effective annual management fee for each class of each fund for the year ended March 31, 2009, was as follows:
Investor, A, B, C & R | Institutional | |
Equity Income | 0.98% | 0.78% |
Value | 1.00% | 0.80% |
Large Company Value | 0.83% | 0.63% |
Distribution and Service Fees — The Board of Directors has adopted a separate Master Distribution and Individual Shareholder Services Plan for each of the A Class, B Class, C Class and R Class (collectively the plans), pursuant to Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act. The plans provide that the A Class will pay American Century Investment Services, Inc. (ACIS) an annual distribution and service fee of 0.25%. The plans provide that the B Class and the C Class will each pay ACIS an annual distribution fee of 0.75% and service fee of 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 fees are used to pay financial intermediaries for distribution and individual shareholder services. Fees incurred under the plans during the year ended March 31, 2009, 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 are eligible to invest in a money market fund for temporary purposes, which is managed by J.P. Morgan Investment Management, Inc. (JPMIM). The funds have a Mutual Funds Services Agreement with J.P. Morgan Investor Services Co. (JPMIS) and a securities lending agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank (JPMCB). JPMCB is a custodian of the funds. JPMIM, JPMIS and JPMCB are wholly owned subsidiaries of JPMorgan Chase & Co. (JPM). JPM is an equity investor in ACC.

5. Affiliated Company Transactions
If a fund’s holding represents ownership of 5% or more of the voting securities of a company, the company is affiliated as defined in the 1940 Act. A summary of transactions for each company which is or was an affiliate at or during the year ended March 31, 2009 follows:

6. Securities Lending
As of March 31, 2009 the funds did not have any securities on loan. 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 funds’ 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 the funds may be delayed or limited. Investments made with cash collateral may decline in value.
7. Fair Value Measurements
The funds’ securities valuation process is based on several considerations and may use multiple inputs to determine the fair value of the positions held by the funds. In conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the inputs used to determine a valuation are classified into three broad levels as follows:
• Level 1 valuation inputs consist of actual quoted prices based on an active market;
• Level 2 valuation inputs consist of significant direct or indirect observable market data; or
• Level 3 valuation inputs consist of significant unobservable inputs such as a fund’s own assumptions.
The level classification is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair valuation measurement. The valuation inputs are not an indication of the risks associated with investing in these securities or other financial instruments.
42
The following is a summary of the valuation inputs used to determine the fair value of the funds’ securities and other financial instruments as of March 31, 2009:
Unrealized Gain (Loss) on | ||
Fund/Valuation Inputs | Value of Investment Securities | Other Financial Instruments* |
Equity Income | ||
Level 1 — Quoted Prices | $3,002,255,748 | — |

8. Risk Factors
There are certain risks involved in investing in foreign securities. These risks include those resulting from future adverse political, social, and economic development, fluctuations in currency exchange rates, the possible imposition of exchange controls, and other foreign laws and restrictions.
9. Bank Line of Credit
The funds, along with certain other funds in the American Century Investments family of funds, had a $500,000,000 unsecured bank line of credit agreement with Bank of America, N.A. The line expired December 10, 2008, and was not renewed. The agreement allowed the funds to borrow money for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions. Borrowings under the agreement were subject to interest at the Federal Funds rate plus 0.40%. The funds did not borrow from the line during the year ended March 31, 2009.
10. Interfund Lending
The funds, along with certain other funds in the American Century Investments family of funds, may participate in an interfund lending program, pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). This program provides an alternative credit facility allowing the funds to borrow from or lend to other funds in the American Century Investments family of funds that permit such transactions. Interfund lending transactions are subject to each fund’s investment policies and borrowing and lending limits. The interfund loan rate earned/paid on interfund lending transactions is determined daily based on the average of certain current market rates. Interfund lending transactions normally extend only overnight, but can have a maximum duration of seven days. The program is subject to annual approval by the Board of Directors. During the year ended March 31, 2009, the funds did not utilize the program.

11. Federal Tax Information
The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended March 31, 2009 and March 31, 2008 were as follows:
Equity Income | Value | Large Company Value | ||||
2009 | 2008 | 2009 | 2008 | 2009 | 2008 | |
Distributions Paid From | ||||||
Ordinary income | $166,129,626 | $487,684,994 | $44,552,362 | $209,835,327 | $45,450,573 | $60,740,054 |
Long-term capital gains | $392,452 | $225,616,210 | — | $167,814,054 | $22,632,362 | $65,159,132 |
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, 2009, the components of distributable earnings on a tax-basis and the federal tax cost of investments were as follows:
Equity Income | Value | Large Company Value | |
Federal tax cost of investments | $4,750,033,394 | $1,666,499,884 | $1,377,889,413 |
Gross tax appreciation of investments | $ 69,705,877 | $ 18,772,166 | $ 77,835,899 |
Gross tax depreciation of investments | (493,580,883) | (494,759,072) | (453,764,213) |
Net tax appreciation (depreciation) of investments | $(423,875,006) | $(475,986,906) | $(375,928,314) |
Net tax appreciation (depreciation) on derivatives and | |||
translation of assets and liabilities in foreign currencies | $ (424) | $ 191 | — |
Net tax appreciation (depreciation) | $(423,875,430) | $(475,986,715) | $(375,928,314) |
Undistributed ordinary income | $4,461,315 | $1,593,245 | — |
Accumulated capital losses | $(417,259,103) | $(291,984,197) | $(173,892,841) |
Capital loss deferrals | $(725,792,554) | $(171,099,788) | $(245,371,935) |
Currency loss deferrals | $(2,435,365) | — | — |
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales and return of capital dividends received, and the realization for tax purposes of unrealized gains (losses) on certain forward foreign currency exchange contracts and on certain futures contracts.
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 in 2017.
The capital and currency loss deferrals listed above represent net capital and foreign currency losses incurred in the five-month period ended March 31, 2009. The funds have elected to treat such losses as having been incurred in the following fiscal year for federal income tax purposes.

13. Recently Issued Accounting Standards
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (FAS 157), in September 2006, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. FAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands the required financial statement disclosures about fair value measurements. The adoption of FAS 157 did not materially impact the determination of fair value.
In March 2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities — an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133” (FAS 161). FAS 161 is effective for interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. FAS 161 amends and expands disclosures about derivative instruments and hedging activities. FAS 161 requires qualitative disclosures about the objectives and strategies of derivative instruments, quantitative disclosures about the fair value amounts of and gains and losses on derivative instruments, and disclosures of credit-risk-related contingent features in hedging activities. Management is currently evaluating the impact that adopting FAS 161 will have on the financial statement disclosures.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm |
The Board of Directors and Shareholders,
American Century Capital Portfolios, Inc.:
American Century Capital Portfolios, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of Equity Income Fund, Value Fund and Large Company Value Fund, three of the mutual funds constituting American Century Capital Portfolios, Inc. (the “Corporation”), as of March 31, 2009, 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 each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Corporation’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 Corporation 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 Corporation’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, 2009, 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 respective financial positions of Equity Income Fund, Value Fund and Large Company Value Fund of American Century Capital Portfolios, Inc. as of March 31, 2009, 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 each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Management |
The individuals listed below serve as directors or officers of the funds. 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 directors and/or officers of, or ownership interest in, American Century Companies, Inc.

(ACIM or the advisor); the funds’ principal underwriter, American Century Investment Services, Inc. (ACIS); and the funds’ transfer agent, American Century Services, LLC (ACS).
The other directors (more than three-fourths of the total number) are independent; that is, they have never been employees, directors or officers of, and have no financial interest in, ACC or any of its wholly owned, direct or indirect, subsidiaries, including ACIM, ACIS and ACS. The directors serve in this capacity for seven registered investment companies in the American Century Investments family of funds.
All persons named as officers of the funds also serve in similar capacities for the other 14 investment companies in the American Century Investments family of funds advised by ACIM or American Century Global Investment Management, Inc. (ACGIM), a wholly owned subsidiary of ACIM, unless otherwise noted. Only officers with policy-making functions are listed.

Additional Information |
Retirement Account Information
As required by law, distributions you receive from certain IRAs, or 403(b), 457 and qualified plans 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. 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. You can reduce or defer the income tax on a distribution by directly or indirectly rolling such distribution over to another IRA or eligible plan. You should consult your tax advisor for additional information.
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.

President’s Letter |
Dear Investor:
Thank you for investing with us during the financial reporting period ended March 31, 2009. We appreciate your trust in American Century Investments® during these challenging times.
As the calendar changed from 2008 to 2009, the financial markets continued to struggle to digest the subprime-initiated credit crisis. The ensuing global economic downturn and market turmoil affected everyone—from first-time individual investors to hundred-year-old financial institutions. During the period, risk aversion was a key theme, with performance generally favoring assets with lower risk levels and those that showed signs of stability. Effective risk management by portfolio managers delivered above-average returns, albeit still negative in many cases under these challenging market conditions.
Effective risk management requires a commitment to disciplined investment approaches that balance risk and reward, with the goal of setting and maintaining risk levels that are appropriate for portfolio objectives. At American Century Investments, we’ve stayed true to the principles that have guided us for over 50 years, including our commitments to delivering superior investment performance and helping investors reach their financial goals. Risk management is part of that commitment—we offer portfolios that can help diversify and stabilize investment returns.
As discussed by the investment team leaders in this report, 2009 is likely to be another challenging year, but I’m certain that we have the investment professionals and processes in place to provide competitive and compelling long-term results for you. Thank you for your continued confidence in us.
Sincerely,
Jonathan S. Thomas
President and Chief Executive Officer

Market Perspective |
By Enrique Chang, Chief Investment Officer, American Century Investments
A Historic Market Decline
The U.S. stock market suffered one of the worst declines in its history during the 12 months ended March 31, 2009. The steep losses in the equity market were driven by a perfect storm of financial crises—a lack of liquidity in the credit markets, a loss of confidence in banks and other financial institutions, and a significant consumer-led economic downturn.
According to the National Bureau of Economic Research, the U.S. economy has been in recession since December 2007, and economic conditions continued to deteriorate over the 12-month period. The economy shed 4.8 million jobs in the 12 months ended March 31, boosting the unemployment rate to 8.5%—its highest level since 1983. Retail sales fell by more than 9%, while mortgage delinquencies and foreclosures increased markedly.
Further troubles in the mortgage market contributed to a worsening credit crunch, which led to growing losses and distressed balance sheets for many financial companies. The crisis reached a tipping point in September 2008, when brokerage firm Lehman Brothers filed for bankruptcy, unleashing a torrent of takeovers and bailouts of struggling financial companies.
The federal government responded quickly and decisively with extraordinary levels of fiscal and monetary assistance—including an unprecedented series of interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve—to stimulate economic activity, restore liquidity, and prevent a collapse in the financial system. Nonetheless, nursing the economy and financial sector back to health remains an ongoing battle.
An Elusive Recovery
The persistent economic and financial struggles undermined investor confidence, sending stocks into a tailspin. The fourth quarter of 2008 was the worst quarter for the major stock indices in 21 years, while January 2009 brought the biggest January decline in the market’s history.
The stock market staged a rally in the last few weeks of the period as investors grew more confident about the possibility of a turning point in the economy and financial sector. However, challenges still lie ahead for the economy and capital markets. The economy will eventually recover, but we do not expect a rapid turnaround.

Portfolio Commentary |
Equity Index
Subadvisor: Northern Trust Investments, N.A.
Performance Summary
Equity Index returned –38.36%* for the 12 months ended March 31, 2009, compared with the –38.09% return of its benchmark, the S&P 500 Index. The portfolio’s results reflected operating expenses, whereas the index return did not.
The portfolio’s sharp decline for the 12-month period reflected the tumultuous environment for U.S. stocks amid a deepening economic downturn, deteriorating credit conditions, and a near-collapse in the financial sector. Every sector in the S&P 500 except one—health care—declined by more than 20% for the period, with financials and industrials stocks suffering the largest losses.
Financials Under Pressure
The financials sector of the portfolio had the biggest negative impact on fund performance as credit-related losses and distressed balance sheets put substantial downward pressure on these stocks, leading to unprecedented capital infusions and other support from the federal government. Diversified financial services companies and insurance firms posted the biggest declines; four of the portfolio’s ten worst individual contributors to performance came from these two industries.
The most significant detractors were financial services giants Bank of America and Citigroup, each of which fell by more than 80% for the 12-month period. Bank of America struggled with losses from its takeover of brokerage firm Merrill Lynch in September 2008, while Citigroup faced severe losses on mortgage- and credit-related securities.
Other notable decliners in the financials sector included insurer American International Group, which staved off bankruptcy by receiving more than $100 billion in government aid, and commercial bank Wells Fargo, which fell in the wake of losses related to its acquisition of Wachovia in late 2008.
Industrials and Energy Tumbled
The economic downturn weighed heavily on industrials stocks during the 12-month period. Industrial conglomerates and aerospace and defense companies had the most significant negative impact. Industrial titan General Electric stumbled as the company reduced earnings expectations and cut its dividend amid struggles at GE Capital, its finance arm. Airplane manufacturer Boeing fell as cutbacks in airplane orders hurt the company’s earnings.
Energy stocks also slumped during the period as demand-weakened energy prices fell precipitously—the price of oil plunged by 51% for the reporting period. Noteworthy decliners included energy producer ConocoPhillips, which was hurt by lower profit margins in its refining business, and energy services provider Schlumberger, which slid as drilling activity waned.

Equity Index
Health Care and Consumer Staples Outperformed
The best-performing sectors in the portfolio were health care and consumer staples, both of which tend to hold up well in a recessionary environment because of their limited sensitivity to economic conditions. However, because of their relatively large weighting (together, they comprised approximately 25% of the portfolio as of March 31, 2009), the health care and consumer staples stocks in the portfolio had a more significant negative impact on performance than some smaller sectors that posted weaker returns, such as telecommunication services and utilities.
The biggest winners in both the health care and consumer staples sectors were driven by merger activity. Among health care stocks, pharmaceutical firms Schering-Plough and Wyeth were the top performers. Both stocks advanced for the reporting period thanks to merger announcements—Schering-Plough accepted an acquisition offer from Merck, while Pfizer agreed to acquire Wyeth. In the consumer staples sector, brewer Anheuser-Busch rallied in the wake of a takeover by international beverage company InBev, while gum maker Wrigley benefited from its acquisition by candy maker Mars.
Other notable individual contributors were online retailer Amazon.com, which held up well despite the consumer spending slowdown, and chemicals producer Rohm & Haas, which was bought by Dow Chemical.
Outlook
The stock market is likely to remain volatile in the coming months amid uncertainty about the timing of an eventual economic recovery. The federal government has taken significant steps to stabilize the financial sector and revitalize the economy, but it will take some time before these efforts translate into meaningful growth.

Shareholder Fee Example (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, 2008 to March 31, 2009.
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 Investments fund, or Institutional Class shares of the American Century Diversified Bond Fund, in an American Century Investments account (i.e., not a financial intermediary or retirement plan account), American Century Investments 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 Investments 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 Investments 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.

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.
Beginning | Ending | Expenses Paid | ||
Account Value | Account Value | During Period* | Annualized | |
10/1/08 | 3/31/09 | 10/1/08 – 3/31/09 | Expense Ratio* | |
Actual | ||||
Investor Class | $1,000 | $692.80 | $2.07 | 0.49% |
Institutional Class | $1,000 | $693.50 | $1.22 | 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.

MARCH 31, 2009
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 nondiversified under the 1940 Act. The fund’s investment objective is to seek long-term capital growth. The fund pursues its 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 distribution and shareholder servicing 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. Investments in open-end management investment companies are valued at the reported net asset value. 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. Securities traded on foreign securities exchanges and over-the-counter markets are normally completed before the close of business on days that the New York Stock Exchange (the Exchange) is open and may also take place on days when the Exchange is not open. If an event occurs after the value of a security was established but before the net asset value per share was determined that was likely to materially change the net asset value, that security would be valued as determined in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Directors. 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 as determined by the Board of Directors or its designee, in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Directors, if such determination would materially impact a fund’s net asset value. Certain other circumstances may cause the fund to use alternative procedures to value a security such as: a security has been declared in default; trading in a security has been halted during the trading day; or there is a foreign market holiday and no trading will commence.
Security Transactions — For financial reporting purposes, 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.
Securities on Loan — The fund may lend portfolio securities through its lending agent to certain approved borrowers in order to earn additional income. The income earned, net of any rebates or fees, is included in the Statement of Operations. The fund continues to recognize any gain or loss in the market price of the securities loaned and records any interest earned or dividends declared.
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
21
considered nontaxable distributions or capital gain distributions for income tax purposes. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis and includes accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums.
Futures 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 futures transactions and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on futures, 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 certain other funds in the American Century Investments family of funds, 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. The fund is no longer subject to examination by tax authorities for years prior to 2006. At this time, management believes there are no uncertain tax positions which, based on their technical merit, would not be sustained upon examination and for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. Accordingly, no provision has been made for federal or state income taxes. Interest and penalties associated with any federal or state income tax obligations, if any, are recorded as interest expense.
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.
22
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 the fund’s assets as well as certain assets, if any, of other clients of the investment advisor outside the American Century Investments family of funds (such as subadvised funds and separate accounts) that have very similar investment teams and investment strategies (strategy assets). The annual management fee schedule for the fund ranges from 0.430% to 0.490% for the Investor Class. The Institutional Class is 0.200% less at each point within the range. The effective annual management fee for each class of the fund for the year ended March 31, 2009 was 0.49% and 0.29% for the Investor Class and Institutional Class, respectively.
ACIM has entered into a Subadvisory Agreement with Northern Trust Investments, N.A. (NTI) (the subadvisor) 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 NTI as the subadvisor of the fund.
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, American Century Investment Services, Inc., and the corporation’s transfer agent, American Century Services, LLC.
The fund is eligible to invest in a money market fund for temporary purposes, which is managed by J.P. Morgan Investment Management, Inc. (JPMIM). The fund has a Mutual Funds Services Agreement with J.P. Morgan Investor Services Co. (JPMIS) and a securities lending agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank (JPMCB). JPMCB is a custodian of the fund. JPMIM, JPMIS and JPMCB are wholly owned subsidiaries of JPMorgan Chase & Co. (JPM). JPM is an equity investor in ACC.
3. Investment Transactions
Purchases and sales of investment securities, excluding short-term investments, for the year ended March 31, 2009, were $27,757,777 and $301,187,827, respectively.
23
4. Capital Share Transactions | ||||
Transactions in shares of the fund were as follows: | ||||

Net increase (decrease) | (52,377,955) | $(261,960,006) | (31,336,034) | $(179,896,379) |
5. Securities Lending
As of March 31, 2009 the fund did not have any securities on loan. 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 fund’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 the fund may be delayed or limited. Investments made with cash collateral may decline in value.
6. Fair Value Measurements
The fund’s securities valuation process is based on several considerations and may use multiple inputs to determine the fair value of the positions held by the fund. In conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the inputs used to determine a valuation are classified into three broad levels as follows:
• Level 1 valuation inputs consist of actual quoted prices based on an active market;
• Level 2 valuation inputs consist of significant direct or indirect observable market data; or
• Level 3 valuation inputs consist of significant unobservable inputs such as a fund’s own assumptions.
The level classification is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair valuation measurement. The valuation inputs are not an indication of the risks associated with investing in these securities or other financial instruments.
24
The following is a summary of the valuation inputs used to determine the fair value of the fund’s securities and other financial instruments as of March 31, 2009:
Value of | Unrealized Gain (Loss) on | |
Valuation Inputs | Investment Securities | Other Financial Instruments* |
Level 1 — Quoted Prices | $305,915,845 | $659,106 |
Level 2 — Other Significant Observable Inputs | 13,184,670 | — |
Level 3 — Significant Unobservable Inputs | — | — |
$319,100,515 | $659,106 | |
*Includes futures contracts. |
7. Bank Line of Credit
The fund, along with certain other funds in the American Century Investments family of funds, had a $500,000,000 unsecured bank line of credit agreement with Bank of America, N.A. The line expired December 10, 2008, and was not renewed. The agreement allowed the fund to borrow money for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions. Borrowings under the agreement were subject to interest at the Federal Funds rate plus 0.40%. The fund did not borrow from the line during the year ended March 31, 2009.
8. Interfund Lending
The fund, along with certain other funds in the American Century Investments family of funds, may participate in an interfund lending program, pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). This program provides an alternative credit facility allowing the fund to borrow from or lend to other funds in the American Century Investments family of funds that permit such transactions. Interfund lending transactions are subject to each fund’s investment policies and borrowing and lending limits. The interfund loan rate earned/paid on interfund lending transactions is determined daily based on the average of certain current market rates. Interfund lending transactions normally extend only overnight, but can have a maximum duration of seven days. The program is subject to annual approval by the Board of Directors. During the year ended March 31, 2009, the fund did not utilize the program.
9. Federal Tax Information
The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended March 31, 2009 and March 31, 2008 were as follows:
2009 | 2008 | |
Distributions Paid From | ||
Ordinary income | $11,129,338 | $17,404,981 |
Long-term capital gains | — | — |
Return of capital | — | $941,165 |
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.
25
As of March 31, 2009, the components of distributable earnings on a tax-basis and the federal tax cost of investments were as follows:
Federal tax cost of investments | $ 364,628,692 |
Gross tax appreciation of investments | $ 61,571,219 |
Gross tax depreciation of investments | (107,099,396) |
Net tax appreciation (depreciation) of investments | $ (45,528,177) |
Net tax appreciation (depreciation) on derivatives | — |
Net tax appreciation (depreciation) | $ (45,528,177) |
Undistributed ordinary income | $33,941 |
Accumulated capital losses | $(44,867,625) |
Capital loss deferral | $(6,548,170) |
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 received.
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:
2010 | 2011 | 2012 | 2013 | 2014 |
$27,486,852 | $1,957,751 | $1,992,016 | $5,270,954 | $8,160,052 |
The capital loss deferral listed above represents net capital losses incurred in the five-month period ended March 31, 2009. The fund has elected to treat such losses as having been incurred in the following fiscal year for federal income tax purposes.
10. Recently Issued Accounting Standards
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (FAS 157), in September 2006, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. FAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands the required financial statement disclosures about fair value measurements. The adoption of FAS 157 did not materially impact the determination of fair value.
In March 2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities — an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133” (FAS 161). FAS 161 is effective for interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. FAS 161 amends and expands disclosures about derivative instruments and hedging activities. FAS 161 requires qualitative disclosures about the objectives and strategies of derivative instruments, quantitative disclosures about the fair value amounts of and gains and losses on derivative instruments, and disclosures of credit-risk-related contingent features in hedging activities. Management is currently evaluating the impact that adopting FAS 161 will have on the financial statement disclosures.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm |
The Board of Directors and Shareholders,
American Century Capital Portfolios, Inc.:
American Century Capital Portfolios, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of Equity Index Fund, one of the mutual funds constituting American Century Capital Portfolios, Inc. (the “Corporation”), as of March 31, 2009, 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 each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Corporation’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 Corporation 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 Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of March 31, 2009, 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 above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Equity Index Fund of American Century Capital Portfolios, Inc. as of March 31, 2009, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

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 directors and/or officers of, or ownership interest in, 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 or the advisor); the fund’s principal underwriter, American Century Investment Services, Inc. (ACIS); and the fund’s transfer agent, American Century Services, LLC (ACS).
The other directors (more than three-fourths of the total number) are independent; that is, they have never been employees, directors or officers of, and have no financial interest in, ACC or any of its wholly owned, direct or indirect, subsidiaries, including ACIM, ACIS and ACS. The directors serve in this capacity for seven registered investment companies in the American Century Investments family of funds.
All persons named as officers of the fund also serve in similar capacities for the other 14 investment companies in the American Century Investments family of funds advised by ACIM or American Century Global Investment Management, Inc. (ACGIM), a wholly owned subsidiary of ACIM, unless otherwise noted. Only officers with policy-making functions are listed. No officer is compensated for his or her service as an officer of the fund.

Additional Information |
Retirement Account Information
As required by law, distributions you receive from certain IRAs, or 403(b), 457 and qualified plans 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. 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. You can reduce or defer the income tax on a distribution by directly or indirectly rolling such distribution over to another IRA or eligible plan. You should consult your tax advisor for additional information.
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.
Proxy Voting Guidelines
American Century Investment Management, Inc., the fund’s investment advisor, is responsible for exercising the voting rights associated with the securities purchased and/or held by the fund. A description of the policies and procedures the advisor uses in fulfilling this responsibility is available without charge, upon request, by calling 1-800-345-2021.

President’s Letter |
Dear Investor:
Thank you for investing with us during the financial reporting period ended March 31, 2009. We appreciate your trust in American Century Investments® during these challenging times.
As the calendar changed from 2008 to 2009, the financial markets continued to struggle to digest the subprime-initiated credit crisis. The ensuing global economic downturn and market turmoil affected everyone—from first-time individual investors to hundred-year-old financial institutions. During the period, risk aversion was a key theme with performance generally favoring assets with lower risk levels and those that showed signs of stability. Effective risk management by portfolio managers delivered above-average returns, albeit still negative in many cases under these challenging market conditions.
Effective risk management requires a commitment to disciplined investment approaches that balance risk and reward, with the goal of setting and maintaining risk levels that are appropriate for portfolio objectives. At American Century Investments, we’ve stayed true to the principles that have guided us for over 50 years, including our commitments to delivering superior investment performance and helping investors reach their financial goals. Risk management is part of that commitment—we offer portfolios that can help diversify and stabilize investment returns.
As discussed by the investment team leaders in this report, 2009 is likely to be another challenging year, but I’m certain that we have the investment professionals and processes in place to provide competitive and compelling long-term results for you. Thank you for your continued confidence in us.
Sincerely,
Jonathan S. Thomas
President and Chief Executive Officer

Market Perspective |
By Enrique Chang, Chief Investment Officer, American Century Investments
A Historic Market Decline
The U.S. stock market suffered one of the worst declines in its history during the 12 months ended March 31, 2009. The steep losses in the equity market were driven by a perfect storm of financial crises—a lack of liquidity in the credit markets, a loss of confidence in banks and other financial institutions, and a significant consumer-led economic downturn.
According to the National Bureau of Economic Research, the U.S. economy has been in recession since December 2007, and economic conditions continued to deteriorate over the 12-month period. The economy shed 4.8 million jobs in the 12 months ended March 31, boosting the unemployment rate to 8.5%—its highest level since 1983. Retail sales fell by more than 9%, while mortgage delinquencies and foreclosures increased markedly.
Further troubles in the mortgage market contributed to a worsening credit crunch, which led to growing losses and distressed balance sheets for many financial companies. The crisis reached a tipping point in September 2008, when brokerage firm Lehman Brothers filed for bankruptcy, unleashing a torrent of takeovers and bailouts of struggling financial companies.
The federal government responded quickly and decisively with extraordinary levels of fiscal and monetary assistance—including an unprecedented series of interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve—to stimulate economic activity, restore liquidity, and prevent a collapse in the financial system. Nonetheless, nursing the economy and financial sector back to health remains an ongoing battle.
An Elusive Recovery
The persistent economic and financial struggles undermined investor confidence, sending stocks into a tailspin. The fourth quarter of 2008 was the worst quarter for the major stock indices in 21 years, while January 2009 brought the biggest January decline in the market’s history.
The stock market staged a rally in the last few weeks of the period as investors grew more confident about the possibility of a turning point in the economy and financial sector. However, challenges still lie ahead for the economy and capital markets. The economy will eventually recover, but we do not expect a rapid turnaround.

Portfolio Commentary |
Real Estate
Portfolio Manager: Steven Brown
In November 2008, American Century Investments ended its subadvisory relationship with J.P. Morgan Investment Management, Inc., and brought management of the Real Estate fund in-house under the leadership of Steven Brown. Mr. Brown has 21 years of investment experience in the real estate sector.
Performance Summary
The Real Estate fund posted a total return of –62.80%* for the 12 months ended March 31, 2009, compared with the –59.14% return of the fund’s benchmark, the Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) US REIT Index, and the –38.09%** return of the S&P 500 Index, a broad stock market measure.
As the returns of the portfolio and its benchmark illustrate, real estate investment trusts (REITs) suffered one of their steepest 12-month declines ever during the reporting period. One contributing factor was a deep recession characterized by significant job losses and slowdowns in consumer and business spending, all of which led to reduced demand for commercial real estate and sent commercial property values down to their lowest levels in four years. Another important influence was the accelerating credit crisis, which limited REITs’ access to capital and led to concerns about their ability to refinance maturing debt in 2009 and 2010.
Retail and hotel REITs posted the largest declines for the 12-month period amid a slowdown in discretionary consumer spending and business travel. Industrial REITs also underperformed as several companies faced impending debt maturities. Health care and apartment REITs held up the best; health care facilities were less impacted by the economic environment, while apartment REITs enjoyed access to capital from housing lenders Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
Retail and Health Care Detracted
When we took over management of the Real Estate fund in November 2008, we positioned the portfolio defensively, eliminating REITs with problematic balance sheets and emphasizing defensive segments of the REIT market, including health care and apartments. However, prior to the management transition, the portfolio had a notable underweight position in health care REITs—the best-performing sector in the MSCI US REIT Index—and this contributed to the fund’s overall underperformance of the index.
Stock selection among retail REITs also weighed on relative results during the 12-month period. The most noteworthy detractor was Developers Diversified Realty, one of the largest owners of community shopping centers in the country. The company faced concerns about its sizable development pipeline, its ability to refinance its maturing debt in 2009, and a broad slowdown in consumer spending.

**The S&P 500 Index returned -4.76% and -3.00% for the five- and ten-year periods ended March 31, 2009, respectively.

Real Estate
The portfolio’s worst individual contributor during the period was ProLogis, the world’s largest industrial REIT. The global economic slowdown and apprehension about the company’s ability to fund and lease its development projects led to a sharp decline in the stock.
Office Holdings Outperformed
Stock selection in the office segment had the biggest positive impact on performance compared with the index. The top contributor in the portfolio was Digital Realty Trust, which builds and operates computer-data centers for corporations. The company has a solid balance sheet and operates in a niche market where demand remains robust. Other significant contributors among office REITs included Mack-Cali Realty and Kilroy Realty.
Beyond office REITs, one of the best contributors was triple net lease REIT National Retail Properties, which reported double-digit revenue growth for 2008 thanks to long-term leases and a diversified tenant base.
A Look Ahead
The REIT market bottomed in mid-March and rebounded through the last few weeks of the reporting period as signs of improvement in the economy and credit markets emerged. Some REITs have been able to issue stock to raise capital, while others have extended their lines of credit at commercial banks. In addition, we are confident that low interest rates and gradually improving credit conditions will allow many REITs to refinance their near-term maturing debt. Although we expect weaker REIT earnings in 2009, we believe that this has already been factored into the deeply discounted prices of many REITs.
Given this more positive outlook, we began shifting away from our defensive positioning in March by expanding our holdings in some of the more beaten-down sectors of the REIT market, such as hotels and retail. We are also focusing on REITs whose balance sheets have improved through recent equity issuance.

Shareholder Fee Example (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, 2008 to March 31, 2009.
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 Investments fund, or Institutional Class shares of the American Century Diversified Bond Fund, in an American Century Investments account (i.e., not a financial intermediary or retirement plan account), American Century Investments 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 Investments 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 Investments 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.
8
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The table also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual expense ratio of each class of your fund and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the actual return of a fund’s share class. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption/exchange fees. Therefore, the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

MARCH 31, 2009
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 nondiversified under the 1940 Act. The fund’s investment objective is to seek high total investment return through a combination of capital appreciation and current income. 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, 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 distribution and shareholder servicing 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. Sale of the B Class, C Class and R Class commenced on September 28, 2007.
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. Investments in open-end management investment companies are valued at the reported net asset value. 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. Securities traded on foreign securities exchanges and over-the-counter markets are normally completed before the close of business on days that the New York Stock Exchange (the Exchange) is open and may also take place on days when the Exchange is not open. If an event occurs after the value of a security was established but before the net asset value per share was determined that was likely to materially change the net asset value, that security would be valued as determined in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Directors. 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 as determined by the Board of Directors or its designee, in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Directors, if such determination would materially impact a fund’s net asset value. Certain other circumstances may cause the fund to use alternative procedures to value a security such as a security has been declared in default; trading in a security has been halted during the trading day; or there is a foreign market holiday and no trading will commence.
Security Transactions — For financial reporting purposes, 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.
16
Securities on Loan — The fund may lend portfolio securities through its lending agent to certain approved borrowers in order to earn additional income. The income earned, net of any rebates or fees, is included in the Statement of Operations. The fund continues to recognize any gain or loss in the market price of the securities loaned and records any interest earned or dividends declared.
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 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 certain other funds in the American Century Investments family of funds, 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. The fund is no longer subject to examination by tax authorities for years prior to 2006. At this time, management believes there are no uncertain tax positions which, based on their technical merit, would not be sustained upon examination and for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. Accordingly, no provision has been made for federal or state income taxes. Interest and penalties associated with any federal or state income tax obligations, if any, are recorded as interest expense.
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.
17
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 the fund’s assets as well as certain assets, if any, of other clients of the investment advisor outside the American Century Investments family of funds (such as subadvised funds and separate accounts) that have very similar investment teams and investment strategies (strategy assets). The annual management fee schedule for the fund ranges from 1.05% to 1.20% for the Investor Class, A Class, B Class, C Class and R Class. The Institutional Class is 0.20% less at each point within the range. The effective annual management fee for each class of the fund for the year ended March 31, 2009 was 1.15%, 0.95%, 1.15%, 1.15%, 1.15% and 1.15% for the Investor Class, Institutional Class, A Class, B Class, C Class and R Class, respectively.
Distribution and Service Fees — The Board of Directors has adopted a separate Master Distribution and Individual Shareholder Services Plan for each of the A Class, B Class, C Class and R Class (collectively the plans), pursuant to Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act. The plan provides that the A Class will pay American Century Investment Services, Inc. (ACIS) an annual distribution and service fee of 0.25%. The plans provide that the B Class and the C Class will each pay ACIS an annual distribution fee of 0.75% and service fee of 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 fees are used to pay financial intermediaries for distribution and individual shareholder services. Fees incurred under the plan during the year ended March 31, 2009, 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 had entered into a Subadvisory Agreement with J.P. Morgan Investment Management, Inc. (JPMIM) on behalf of the fund. The subadvisor made 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 paid all costs associated with retaining JPMIM as the subadvisor of the fund. Effective November 17, 2008, ACIM terminated the Subadvisory Agreement with JPMIM on behalf of the fund. ACIM has assumed the responsibilities performed by the subadvisor. The termination of the Subadvisory Agreement was approved by the Board of Directors on October 9, 2008.
The fund is eligible to invest in a money market fund for temporary purposes, which is managed by J.P. Morgan Investment Management, Inc. (JPMIM). The fund has a Mutual Funds Services Agreement with J.P. Morgan Investor Services Co. (JPMIS) and a securities lending agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank (JPMCB). JPMCB is a custodian of the fund. JPMIM, JPMIS and JPMCB are wholly owned subsidiaries of JPMorgan Chase & Co. (JPM). JPM is an equity investor in ACC.

5. Securities Lending
As of March 31, 2009, the fund did not have any securities on loan. 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 fund’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 the fund may be delayed or limited. Investments made with cash collateral may decline in value.
6. Fair Value Measurements
The fund’s securities valuation process is based on several considerations and may use multiple inputs to determine the fair value of the positions held by the fund. In conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the inputs used to determine a valuation are classified into three broad levels as follows:
• Level 1 valuation inputs consist of actual quoted prices based on an active market;
• Level 2 valuation inputs consist of significant direct or indirect observable market data; or
• Level 3 valuation inputs consist of significant unobservable inputs such as a fund’s own assumptions.
The level classification is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair valuation measurement. The valuation inputs are not an indication of the risks associated with investing in these securities or other financial instruments.
The following is a summary of the valuation inputs used to determine the fair value of the fund’s securities as of March 31, 2009:
Valuation Inputs | Value of Investment Securities |
Level 1 – Quoted Prices | $529,333,796 |
Level 2 – Other Significant Observable Inputs | 20,819,617 |
Level 3 – Significant Unobservable Inputs | — |
$550,153,413 |
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.
20
8. Bank Line of Credit
The fund, along with certain other funds in the American Century Investments family of funds, had a $500,000,000 unsecured bank line of credit agreement with Bank of America, N.A. The line expired December 10, 2008, and was not renewed. The agreement allowed the fund to borrow money for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions. Borrowings under the agreement were subject to interest at the Federal Funds rate plus 0.40%. The fund did not borrow from the line during the year ended March 31, 2009.
9. Interfund Lending
The fund, along with certain other funds in the American Century Investments family of funds, may participate in an interfund lending program, pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). This program provides an alternative credit facility allowing the fund to borrow from or lend to other funds in the American Century Investments family of funds that permit such transactions. Interfund lending transactions are subject to each fund’s investment policies and borrowing and lending limits. The interfund loan rate earned/paid on interfund lending transactions is determined daily based on the average of certain current market rates. Interfund lending transactions normally extend only overnight, but can have a maximum duration of seven days. The program is subject to annual approval by the Board of Directors. During the year ended March 31, 2009, the fund did not utilize the program.
10. Federal Tax Information
The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended March 31, 2009 and March 31, 2008 were as follows:
2009 | 2008 | |
Distributions Paid From | ||
Ordinary income | $27,025,737 | $140,797,227 |
Long-term capital gains | $67,437 | $108,853,919 |
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, 2009, the components of distributable earnings on a tax-basis and the federal tax cost of investments were as follows:
Federal tax cost of investments | $949,864,606 |
Gross tax appreciation of investments | — |
Gross tax depreciation of investments | $(399,711,193) |
Net tax appreciation (depreciation) of investments | $(399,711,193) |
Net tax appreciation (depreciation) on derivatives and | |
translation of assets and liabilities in foreign currencies | $ (1,182) |
Net tax appreciation (depreciation) | $(399,712,375) |
Undistributed ordinary income | $2,631,492 |
Accumulated capital losses | $(206,620,499) |
Capital loss deferral | $(425,893,514) |
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.
21
The accumulated capital losses listed on the previous page 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 in 2017.
The capital loss deferrals listed on the previous page represent net capital losses incurred in the five-month period ended March 31, 2009. The fund has elected to treat such losses as having been incurred in the following fiscal year for federal income tax purposes.
11. Recently Issued Accounting Standards
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (FAS 157), in September 2006, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. FAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands the required financial statement disclosures about fair value measurements. The adoption of FAS 157 did not materially impact the determination of fair value.
In March 2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities — an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133” (FAS 161). FAS 161 is effective for interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. FAS 161 amends and expands disclosures about derivative instruments and hedging activities. FAS 161 requires qualitative disclosures about the objectives and strategies of derivative instruments, quantitative disclosures about the fair value amounts of and gains and losses on derivative instruments, and disclosures of credit-risk-related contingent features in hedging activities. Management is currently evaluating the impact that adopting FAS 161 will have on the financial statement disclosures.
12. Other Tax Information (Unaudited)

The fund hereby designates up to the maximum amount allowable as qualified dividend income for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009.

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, one of the mutual funds constituting American Century Capital Portfolios, Inc. (the “Corporation”), as of March 31, 2009, 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 each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Corporation’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 Corporation 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 Corporation’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, 2009, 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 of American Century Capital Portfolios, Inc. as of March 31, 2009, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

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 directors and/or officers of, or ownership interest in, American Century Companies, Inc.

(ACIM or the advisor); the fund’s principal underwriter, American Century Investment Services, Inc. (ACIS); and the fund’s transfer agent, American Century Services, LLC (ACS).
The other directors (more than three-fourths of the total number) are independent; that is, they have never been employees, directors or officers of, and have no financial interest in, ACC or any of its wholly owned, direct or indirect, subsidiaries, including ACIM, ACIS and ACS. The directors serve in this capacity for seven registered investment companies in the American Century Investments family of funds.
All persons named as officers of the fund also serve in similar capacities for the other 14 investment companies in the American Century Investments family of funds advised by ACIM or American Century Global Investment Management, Inc.

Additional Information |
Retirement Account Information
As required by law, distributions you receive from certain IRAs, or 403(b), 457 and qualified plans 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. 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. You can reduce or defer the income tax on a distribution by directly or indirectly rolling such distribution over to another IRA or eligible plan. You should consult your tax advisor for additional information.
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.

President’s Letter |
Dear Investor:
Thank you for investing with us during the financial reporting period ended March 31, 2009. We appreciate your trust in American Century Investments® during these challenging times.
As the calendar changed from 2008 to 2009, the financial markets continued to struggle to digest the subprime-initiated credit crisis. The ensuing global economic downturn and market turmoil affected everyone—from first-time individual investors to hundred-year-old financial institutions. During the period, risk aversion was a key theme, with performance generally favoring assets with lower risk levels and those that showed signs of stability. Effective risk management by portfolio managers delivered above-average returns, albeit still negative in many cases under these challenging market conditions.
Effective risk management requires a commitment to disciplined investment approaches that balance risk and reward, with the goal of setting and maintaining risk levels that are appropriate for portfolio objectives. At American Century Investments, we’ve stayed true to the principles that have guided us for over 50 years, including our commitments to delivering superior investment performance and helping investors reach their financial goals. Risk management is part of that commitment—we offer portfolios that can help diversify and stabilize investment returns.
As discussed by the investment team leaders in this report, 2009 is likely to be another challenging year, but I’m certain that we have the investment professionals and processes in place to provide competitive and compelling long-term results for you. Thank you for your continued confidence in us.
Sincerely,
Jonathan S. Thomas
President and Chief Executive Officer

Market Perspective |
By Phil Davidson, Chief Investment Officer, U.S. Value Equity
An Unprecedented Period for Stocks
The 12 months ended March 31, 2009, represented one of the most tumultuous periods ever for the U.S. stock market. A combination of traumatic factors—a severe economic downturn, a near-collapse of the financial sector, and significantly curtailed access to credit—led to a steep decline in stocks throughout much of the 12-month period.
The U.S. economy contracted in each of the last three quarters of the period, extending a recession that began in late 2007. The unemployment rate hit a 26-year high as the economy shed more than five million jobs since the beginning of 2008. The housing market deteriorated further, and retail spending declined as consumers moved to reduce debt and increase savings.
The troubled financial sector also weighed on stocks during the period. The consolidation that reshaped the sector in recent years led to the formation of financial conglomerates and huge investment banks. These enormous institutions ventured into risky new forms of investing, often with substantial leverage. As a result of rising defaults on lending of all kinds, the credit markets froze, and several of these financial giants collapsed. The federal government created an alphabet soup of programs designed to shore up the financial sector, but it remains a work in progress.
Value Lagged
Value stocks underperformed their growth-oriented counterparts across all market capitalizations during the 12-month period (see the accompanying table). Virtually all of this underperformance occurred in the final three months of the period as investors began to shift into beaten-down growth sectors in anticipation of a nascent economic recovery before the end of 2009.
The unprecedented events during the past year were a reminder of how risky stocks can be. For value investors, however, there is a silver lining in this dark market cloud. In the wake of indiscriminate selling across the market, we have been able to purchase shares of higher-quality companies at extremely attractive valuation levels. Moreover, thanks to our emphasis on strong balance sheets, we have largely been insulated from the many companies whose dividends have been under pressure.

Portfolio Commentary |
NT Large Company Value
Portfolio Managers: Chuck Ritter and Brendan Healy
Performance Summary
NT Large Company Value declined -41.22% for the 12 months ended March 31, 2009. By comparison, its benchmark, the Russell 1000 Value Index, declined -42.42%. The broader market, as measured by the S&P 500 Index, declined -38.09%. The portfolio’s return reflects operating expenses, while the indices’ returns do not. The average return for Morningstar’s Large Cap Value category (whose performance, like NT Large Company Value’s, reflects operating expenses) was - -40.23%.* On a relative basis versus the benchmark, approximately 35% of the return was due to international holdings.
Although the volatile market environment described in the Market Perspective on page 2 hampered NT Large Company Value’s absolute performance, the portfolio outpaced its benchmark index. U.S. equity indexes were universally down over the 12 months and value underperformed growth across the capitalization spectrum. Some of the largest declines were among mega-cap value stocks (shares of especially large companies, represented by the Russell Top 200 Value Index). The portfolio outperformed largely because of its position in the information technology, consumer discretionary, consumer staples, and energy sectors. Its complement of utilities and industrials stocks detracted.
Information Technology Powered Results
The portfolio’s overweight in information technology boosted relative performance. Our preference for industry leaders, such as Oracle, Microsoft and Hewlett-Packard, was also advantageous. These companies are attractive investments not only because they have stable business models and solid balance sheets but because we believe they will benefit from the economic recovery.
The sector was also the source of top contributor, International Business Machines Corp. (IBM). IBM’s shares rose after the company reaffirmed its 2009 earnings-per-share outlook, due in part to strong growth in services-contract signings.
Consumer Discretionary, Consumer Staples Contributed
Security selection in the consumer discretionary sector added to relative results. The sector provided some of the portfolio’s most significant performers—Best Buy Co., Staples, Kohl’s Corp., and H&R Block. Electronics retailer Best Buy Co., which is not represented in the benchmark, executed well in the difficult environment and seems likely to benefit from the bankruptcy of competitor, Circuit City.
* | The average return from June 1, 2006, the date nearest the fund’s inception for which data are available, through March 31, 2009, for Morningstar’s Large Cap Value category was -15.03%. © 2009 Morningstar, Inc.

NT Large Company Value
Consumer discretionary also supplied a notable detractor, Gannett Co. The newspaper publisher has struggled to manage costs in the face of declining advertising revenue. We took advantage of the market rally in March 2009 to sell the position and reallocate the assets to more attractive companies within the media industry.
The consumer staples sector provided a number of strong performers, especially among food and staples retailers. A significant contributor was Wal-Mart Stores. The retailer’s low-price strategy paid off as the economic recession put pressure on consumers.
Energy Added Value
In the energy sector, the portfolio benefited from its focus on companies less vulnerable to fluctuations in the price of oil and gas. This posture dampened relative performance when energy prices rose dramatically early in the period. However, as the global economy slowed and prices declined, our bias proved advantageous. A top holding was Chevron Corp., which reported that a rebound in its refining operations had mitigated the impact of falling oil prices.
Utilities and Industrials Hindered Progress
The portfolio’s underweight in utilities—established because we believe many of these stocks are overvalued—was a drag on results.
The industrials sector was a source of relative weakness. Even large, well-managed companies have not been immune to the global economic downturn. A notable detractor was construction equipment maker Caterpillar, which announced lower profits resulting from higher operating costs and unfavorable foreign-exchange rates.
Outlook
We continue to be bottom-up investment managers, evaluating each company individually and building the portfolio one stock at a time. NT Large Company Value is broadly diversified, with ongoing overweight positions in the information technology, consumer discretionary, and industrials sectors. Our valuation work is also directing us toward smaller relative weightings in financials and utilities stocks.

Portfolio Commentary |
NT Mid Cap Value
Portfolio Managers: Kevin Toney, Michael Liss, and Phil Davidson
Performance Summary
NT Mid Cap Value declined -29.25% for the 12 months ended March 31, 2009. By comparison, the average return for Morningstar’s Mid Cap Value category (whose performance, like NT Mid Cap Value’s, reflects operating expenses) was -39.94%.* The fund’s benchmark, the Russell Midcap Value Index, fell -42.51%. Its returns do not include operating expenses.
The volatile market environment described in the Market Perspective on page 2 hampered NT Mid Cap Value’s absolute performance. However, on a relative basis, the portfolio significantly outpaced the performance of its benchmark, the Russell Midcap Value Index. NT Mid Cap Value outperformed largely because of effective security selection and our continued emphasis on less-risky businesses with sound balance sheets. The portfolio benefited the most from its position in the financials, utilities, and materials sectors. Holdings in information technology detracted.
Financials Contributed the Most
Many financials stocks suffered deep declines, but our focus on higher-quality companies with strong balance sheets and reliable funding sources boosted relative outperformance. A significant underweight position in real estate investment trusts (REITs), which were down more than 57% in the benchmark, bolstered relative performance. Many REITs are burdened with significantly overleveraged balance sheets and large off-balance sheet capital commitments.
Two financials holdings were leading contributors—People’s United Financial and Chubb Corp. A conservatively run, well-capitalized thrift, People’s United has avoided most of the issues adversely affecting other financials. Chubb, a property and casualty insurer, maintains a sound investment portfolio and could gain market share as American International Group (AIG) continues to struggle.
Financials was also the source of a top detractor, asset manager Alliance-Bernstein Holding LP. Weak investment performance and broadly negative returns in the equity markets have driven a decline in assets under management at the firm.
Utilities Enhanced Results
Security selection—particularly long-term investments in electric and gas utilities—aided relative performance. A notable position was WGL Holdings, which provides natural gas to Washington, D.C., and surrounding metropolitan areas in Maryland and Virginia. The company’s strong balance sheet, stable business model, predictable returns on capital, and solid dividend are representative of the characteristics we seek for the portfolio.
* | The average return from June 1, 2006, the date nearest the fund’s inception for which data are available, through March 31, 2009, for Morningstar’s Mid Cap Value category was -15.56%. © 2009 Morningstar, Inc.

NT Mid Cap Value
Moreover, because of valuations and higher-risk business models, the portfolio did not hold any independent power producers; the segment declined more than 75% in the benchmark. Conversely, its progress was hampered by a lack of exposure to electric and natural gas provider, PG&E Corp. The company has executed on its business plan and is benefiting from an advantageous regulatory environment.
Materials Added Value
In materials, strong security selection among containers and packaging companies added to results. Top contributor Bemis Co., a major producer of flexible packaging primarily for the food industry, benefited from stable end market demand and falling resin costs.
Information Technology Detracted
Within information technology, the communications equipment industry provided a notable detractor. Emulex, a provider of storage networking infrastructure solutions, underperformed as demand for its products waned along with shrinking corporate information technology budgets. Uncertainty about evolving technology standards within the network storage market also concerned investors.
Outlook
We continue to follow our disciplined, bottom-up process, selecting companies one at a time for the portfolio. As of March 31, 2009, we see opportunities in consumer staples, health care, and industrials stocks, reflected by overweight positions in these sectors, relative to the benchmark. Our fundamental analysis and valuation work are also directing us toward smaller relative weightings in financials, consumer discretionary, and utilities stocks.

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, 2008 to March 31, 2009.
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 Investments fund, or Institutional Class shares of the American Century Diversified Bond Fund, in an American Century Investments account (i.e., not a financial intermediary or retirement plan account), American Century Investments 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 Investments 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 Investments 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.
12
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 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. |

MARCH 31, 2009
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. NT Large Company Value Fund (NT Large Company Value) and NT Mid Cap Value Fund (NT Mid Cap 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 objective is to seek long-term capital growth. Income is a secondary objective. The funds pursue their investment objective by investing in stocks of companies that management believes to be undervalued at the time of purchase. NT Large Company Value invests primarily in companies with larger market capitalization. NT Mid Cap Value invests in mid-sized market capitalization companies. The funds are not permitted to invest in any securities issued by companies assigned the Global Industry Classification Standard for the tobacco industry. The following is a summary of the funds’ significant accounting policies.
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. Investments in open-end management investment companies are valued at the reported net asset value. 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. Securities traded on foreign securities exchanges and over-the-counter markets are normally completed before the close of business on days that the New York Stock Exchange (the Exchange) is open and may also take place on days when the Exchange is not open. If an event occurs after the value of a security was established but before the net asset value per share was determined that was likely to materially change the net asset value, that security would be valued as determined in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Directors. 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 as determined by the Board of Directors or its designee, in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Directors, if such determination would materially impact a fund’s net asset value. Certain other circumstances may cause the funds to use alternative procedures to value a security such as: a security has been declared in default; trading in a security has been halted during the trading day; or there is a foreign market holiday and no trading will commence.
Security Transactions — For financial reporting purposes, 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 funds estimate the components of distributions received that may be considered nontaxable distributions or capital gain distributions for income tax purposes. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis and includes accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums.
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 fees and expenses that reduce their value.
23
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.
Futures Contracts — The funds may enter into futures contracts in order to manage the funds’ 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 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 futures transactions and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on futures, respectively.
Securities on Loan — The funds may lend portfolio securities through their lending agent to certain approved borrowers in order to earn additional income. The income earned, net of any rebates or fees, is included in the Statement of Operations. The funds continue to recognize any gain or loss in the market price of the securities loaned and record any interest earned or dividends declared.
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 certain other funds in the American Century Investments family of funds, 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.
24
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. All tax years for the funds remain subject to examination by tax authorities. At this time, management believes there are no uncertain tax positions which, based on their technical merit, would not be sustained upon examination and for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. Accordingly, no provision has been made for federal or state income taxes. Interest and penalties associated with any federal or state income tax obligations, if any, are recorded as interest expense.
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). 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 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 each fund’s assets as well as certain assets, if any, of other clients of the investment advisor outside the American Century Investments family of funds (such as subadvised funds and separate accounts) that have very similar investment teams and investment strategies (strategy assets). The annual management fee schedule for NT Large Company Value ranges from 0.50% to 0.70%. The effective annual management fee for NT Large Company Value for the year ended March 31, 2009 was 0.63%. The annual management fee for NT Mid Cap Value is 0.80%.

3. Investment Transactions
Investment transactions, excluding short-term investments, for the year ended March 31, 2009 were as follows:
NT Large Company Value | NT Mid Cap Value | |
Purchases | $141,375,207 | $132,601,842 |
Proceeds from sales | $ 27,797,365 | $ 89,911,845 |
4. Securities Lending
As of March 31, 2009 the funds did not have any securities on loan. 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 funds’ 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 the funds may be delayed or limited. Investments made with cash collateral may decline in value.
5. Fair Value Measurements
The funds’ securities valuation process is based on several considerations and may use multiple inputs to determine the fair value of the positions held by the funds. In conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the inputs used to determine a valuation are classified into three broad levels as follows:
• Level 1 valuation inputs consist of actual quoted prices based on an active market;
• Level 2 valuation inputs consist of significant direct or indirect observable market data; or
• Level 3 valuation inputs consist of significant unobservable inputs such as a fund’s own assumptions.
The level classification is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair valuation measurement. The valuation inputs are not an indication of the risks associated with investing in these securities or other financial instruments.
26
The following is a summary of the valuation inputs used to determine the fair value of the funds’ securities and other financial instruments as of March 31, 2009:
Unrealized Gain (Loss) on | ||
Fund/Valuation Inputs | Value of Investment Securities | Other Financial Instruments* |
NT Large Company | ||
Level 1 — Quoted Prices | $145,229,745 | $832,304 |
Level 2 — Other Significant Observable Inputs | 7,271,080 | — |
Level 3 — Significant Unobservable Inputs | — | — |
$152,500,825 | $832,304 | |
NT Mid Cap Value | ||
Level 1 — Quoted Prices | $66,675,658 | — |
Level 2 — Other Significant Observable Inputs | 1,206,091 | $7,923 |
Level 3 — Significant Unobservable Inputs | — | — |
$67,881,749 | $7,923 | |
*Includes forward foreign currency exchange contracts and futures contracts. |
6. Risk Factors
There are certain risks involved in investing in foreign securities. These risks include those resulting from future adverse political, social, and economic developments, fluctuations in currency exchange rates, the possible imposition of exchange controls, and other foreign laws or restrictions.
7. Bank Line of Credit
The funds, along with certain other funds in the American Century Investments family of funds, had a $500,000,000 unsecured bank line of credit agreement with Bank of America, N.A. The line expired December 10, 2008, and was not renewed. The agreement allowed the funds to borrow money for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions. Borrowings under the agreement were subject to interest at the Federal Funds rate plus 0.40%. The funds did not borrow from the line during the year ended March 31, 2009.
8. Interfund Lending
The funds, along with certain other funds in the American Century Investments family of funds, may participate in an interfund lending program, pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). This program provides an alternative credit facility allowing the funds to borrow from or lend to other funds in the American Century Investments family of funds that permit such transactions. Interfund lending transactions are subject to each fund’s investment policies and borrowing and lending limits. The interfund loan rate earned/paid on interfund lending transactions is determined daily based on the average of certain current market rates. Interfund lending transactions normally extend only overnight, but can have a maximum duration of seven days. The program is subject to annual approval by the Board of Directors. During the year ended March 31, 2009, the funds did not utilize the program.
27
9. Federal Tax Information
The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended March 31, 2009 and March 31, 2008 were as follows:
NT Large Company Value | NT Mid Cap Value | |||
2009 | 2008 | 2009 | 2008 | |
Distributions Paid From | ||||
Ordinary income | $3,130,012 | $2,544,622 | $1,139,180 | $3,661,052 |
Long-term capital gains | $221 | $413,792 | — | $655,713 |
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, 2009, the components of distributable earnings on a tax-basis and the federal tax cost of investments were as follows:
NT Large | ||
Company Value | NT Mid Cap Value | |
Federal tax cost of investments | $201,196,141 | $84,078,440 |
Gross tax appreciation of investments | $ 750,860 | — |
Gross tax depreciation of investments | (49,446,176) | $(16,196,691) |
Net tax appreciation (depreciation) of investments | $(48,695,316) | $(16,196,691) |
Net tax appreciation (depreciation) on derivatives and translation of assets | ||
and liabilities in foreign currencies | — | $ (435) |
Net tax appreciation (depreciation) | $(48,695,316) | $(16,197,126) |
Undistributed ordinary income | — | $42,289 |
Accumulated capital losses | $(7,761,035) | $(3,595,943) |
Capital loss deferrals | $(14,977,609) | $(5,237,262) |
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 exchange contracts.
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 in 2017.
The capital loss deferrals listed above represent net capital losses incurred in the five-month period ended March 31, 2009. The funds have elected to treat such losses as having been incurred in the following fiscal year for federal income tax purposes.
28
10. Recently Issued Accounting Standards
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (FAS 157), in September 2006, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. FAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands the required financial statement disclosures about fair value measurements. The adoption of FAS 157 did not materially impact the determination of fair value.
In March 2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities — an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133” (FAS 161). FAS 161 is effective for interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. FAS 161 amends and expands disclosures about derivative instruments and hedging activities. FAS 161 requires qualitative disclosures about the objectives and strategies of derivative instruments, quantitative disclosures about the fair value amounts of and gains and losses on derivative instruments, and disclosures of credit-risk-related contingent features in hedging activities. Management is currently evaluating the impact that adopting FAS 161 will have on the financial statement disclosures.
11. Other Tax Information (Unaudited)
The following information is provided pursuant to provisions of the Internal Revenue Code.
The funds hereby designate up to the maximum amount allowable as qualified dividend income for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009.
For corporate taxpayers, NT Large Company Value and NT Mid Cap Value hereby designate $3,107,879 and $1,099,450, respectively, or up to the maximum amount allowable, of ordinary income distributions paid during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009 as qualified for the corporate dividends received deduction.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm |
The Board of Directors and Shareholders,
American Century Capital Portfolios, Inc.:
American Century Capital Portfolios, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of NT Large Company Value Fund and NT Mid Cap Value Fund, two of the mutual funds constituting American Century Capital Portfolios, Inc. (the “Corporation”), as of March 31, 2009, 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 each of the two years in the period then ended and for the period May 12, 2006 (inception of the funds) through March 31, 2007. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Corporation’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 Corporation 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 Corporation’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, 2009, 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 respective financial positions of NT Large Company Value Fund and NT Mid Cap Value Fund of American Century Capital Portfolios, Inc. as of March 31, 2009, 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 each of the two years in the period then ended and for the period May 12, 2006 (fund inception) through March 31, 2007, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

(ACIM or the advisor); the funds’ principal underwriter, American Century Investment Services, Inc. (ACIS); and the funds’ transfer agent, American Century Services, LLC (ACS).

Additional Information |
Retirement Account Information
As required by law, distributions you receive from certain IRAs, or 403(b), 457 and qualified plans 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. 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. You can reduce or defer the income tax on a distribution by directly or indirectly rolling such distribution over to another IRA or eligible plan. You should consult your tax advisor for additional information.
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.
