Dear Investor:
Thank you for reviewing this semiannual report for the period ended April 30, 2017. It provides a market overview (below), followed by a schedule of fund investments and other financial information. For additional commentary and information on fund performance, plus other investment insights, we encourage you to visit our website, americancentury.com.
“Trump Trade” Triggered Surges in U.S. Stock Prices and Treasury Yields
Especially in the U.S., the signature events of the six-month period were Donald Trump’s victory in the U.S. presidential election in November and the resulting “Trump Trade.” President Trump’s aggressive pro-growth fiscal policy agenda triggered risk-on rallies in higher-risk assets such as stocks and high-yield corporate bonds that produced double-digit gains for many broad U.S. and global/non-U.S. equity indices. For example, the S&P 500 Index and the MSCI EAFE Index gained 13.32% and 11.47%, respectively. In the U.S., growth and small-cap equity indices generally outperformed their value and large-cap counterparts.
The Trump Trade and improving global economic conditions also drove government bond yields higher, and boosted the value of the U.S. dollar against other currencies. This caused most bond indices to decline during the period, except those representing emerging market and corporate debt, which benefited from investors’ continuing search for more yield than what’s available in government bonds. Also, higher-yielding and corporate bonds are perceived as less price change-sensitive to rising interest rates.
Yields rose for short- and long-maturity U.S. Treasuries as the Federal Reserve raised its interest rate target twice during the reporting period, and suggested that it might raise rates again and start gradually reducing its balance sheet by the end of 2017. These factors, plus rising inflation, could trigger more bouts of U.S. bond market volatility. Meanwhile, the Trump Trade could prove to be double-edged—its momentum faded as health care and tax reform enactment faced delays. This, along with ongoing questions about the Trump administration’s practices, policies, and alliances, could impede further risk-on sentiment. In this unsettled environment, we believe in remaining focused on investment goals, using disciplined, actively managed, risk-aware strategies. We appreciate your continued trust in us.
Sincerely,

Shareholder Fee Example |
Fund shareholders may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and redemption/exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service (12b-1) fees; and other fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in your fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing cost of investing in other mutual funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from November 1, 2016 to April 30, 2017 (except as noted).
Actual Expenses
The table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses for each class. You may use the information, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. First, identify the share class you own. Then simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
If you hold Investor Class shares of any American Century Investments fund, or I 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. 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.

(1) | Expenses are equal to the class's annualized expense ratio listed in the table above, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181, the number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year, divided by 365, to reflect the one-half year period. |
(2) | Ending account value assumes the return earned after waiver and would have been lower if a portion of the fees had not been waived. |
(3) | Ending account value based on actual return from April 10, 2017 (commencement of sale) through April 30, 2017. |
(4) | 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 21, the number of days in the period from April 10, 2017 (commencement of sale) through April 30, 2017, divided by 365, to reflect the period. Had the class been available for the full period, the expenses paid during the period would have been higher. |
(5) | Ending account value and expenses paid during the period assumes the class had been available throughout the entire period and are calculated using the class’s annualized expense ratio listed in the table above. |

* | The maximum potential amount the fund could be required to deliver as a seller of credit protection if a credit event occurs as defined under the terms of the agreement is the notional amount. The maximum potential amount may be partially offset by any recovery values of the reference entities and upfront payments received upon entering into the agreement. |
** | Implied credit spreads for centrally cleared credit default swap agreements are linked to the weighted average spread across the underlying reference entities included in a particular index. Implied credit spreads serve as an indication of the seller's performance risk related to the likelihood of a credit event occurring as defined in the agreement. Implied credit spreads are used to determine the value of swap agreements and reflect the cost of buying/selling protection, which may include upfront payments made/received upon entering the agreement. Therefore, higher spreads would indicate a greater likelihood that a seller will be obligated to perform under the contract terms. Increasing values, in absolute terms and relative to notional amounts, are also indicative of greater performance risk. |

Notes to Financial Statements |
APRIL 30, 2017 (UNAUDITED)
1. Organization
American Century Capital Portfolios, Inc. (the corporation) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company and is organized as a Maryland corporation. AC Alternatives Income Fund (the fund) is one fund in a series issued by the corporation. The fund’s investment objective is to seek to provide diverse sources of income.
The fund offers the Investor Class, I Class (formerly Institutional Class), Y Class, A Class, C Class, R Class and R6 Class. The A Class may incur an initial sales charge. The A Class and C Class may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge. Sale of the Y Class commenced on April 10, 2017.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the fund in preparation of its financial statements. The fund is an investment company and follows accounting and reporting guidance in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. This may require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Management evaluated the impact of events or transactions occurring through the date the financial statements were issued that would merit recognition or disclosure.
Investment Valuations — The fund determines the fair value of its investments and computes its net asset value per share at the close of regular trading (usually 4 p.m. Eastern time) on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on each day the NYSE is open. The Board of Directors has adopted valuation policies and procedures to guide the investment advisor in the fund’s investment valuation process and to provide methodologies for the oversight of the fund’s pricing function.
Fixed income securities are valued at the evaluated mean as provided by independent pricing services or at the mean of the most recent bid and asked prices as provided by investment dealers. Corporate bonds, U.S. Treasury and Government Agency securities and bank loan obligations are valued using market models that consider trade data, quotations from dealers and active market makers, relevant yield curve and spread data, creditworthiness, trade data or market information on comparable securities, and other relevant security specific information. Mortgage-related and asset-backed securities are valued based on models that consider trade data, prepayment and default projections, benchmark yield and spread data and estimated cash flows of each tranche of the issuer. Collateralized loan obligations are valued based on discounted cash flow models that consider trade and economic data, prepayment assumptions and default projections. Fixed income securities initially expressed in local currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the mean of the appropriate currency exchange rate at the close of the NYSE as provided by an independent pricing service.
Exchange-traded notes and equity securities that are listed or traded on a domestic securities exchange are valued at the last reported sales price or at the official closing price as provided by the exchange. Equity securities traded on foreign securities exchanges are generally valued at the closing price of such securities on the exchange where primarily traded or at the close of the NYSE, if that is earlier. If no last sales price is reported, or if local convention or regulation so provides, the mean of the latest bid and asked prices may be used. Securities traded over-the-counter are valued at the mean of the latest bid and asked prices, the last sales price, or the official closing price. Equity securities initially expressed in local currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the mean of the appropriate currency exchange rate at the close of the NYSE as provided by an independent pricing service.
Open-end management investment companies are valued at the reported net asset value per share. Exchange-traded futures and options contracts are valued based on quoted prices as provided by the appropriate exchange. Swap agreements are valued at an evaluated mean as provided by independent pricing services or independent brokers. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are valued at the mean of the appropriate forward exchange rate at the close of the NYSE as provided by an independent pricing service. Investments initially expressed in local currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the mean of the appropriate currency exchange rate at the close of the NYSE as provided by an independent pricing service.
27
If the fund determines that the market price for an investment is not readily available or the valuation methods mentioned above do not reflect an investment’s fair value, such investment is valued as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors or its delegate, in accordance with policies and procedures adopted by the Board of Directors. In its determination of fair value, the fund may review several factors including, but not limited to, market information regarding the specific investment or comparable investments and correlation with other investment types, futures indices or general market indicators. Circumstances that may cause the fund to use these procedures to value an investment include, but are not limited to: an investment has been declared in default or is distressed; trading in a security has been suspended during the trading day or a security is not actively trading on its principal exchange; prices received from a regular pricing source are deemed unreliable; or there is a foreign market holiday and no trading occurred.
The fund monitors for significant events occurring after the close of an investment’s primary exchange but before the fund’s net asset value per share is determined. Significant events may include, but are not limited to: corporate announcements and transactions; governmental action and political unrest that could impact a specific investment or an investment sector; or armed conflicts, natural disasters and similar events that could affect investments in a specific country or region. The fund also monitors for significant fluctuations between domestic and foreign markets, as evidenced by the U.S. market or such other indicators that the Board of Directors, or its delegate, deems appropriate. If significant fluctuations in foreign markets are identified, the fund may apply a model-derived factor to the closing price of equity securities traded on foreign securities exchanges. The factor is based on observable market data as provided by an independent pricing service.
Security Transactions — Security transactions are accounted for as of the trade date. Net realized gains and losses are determined on the identified cost basis, which is also used for federal income tax purposes.
Investment Income — Interest income less foreign taxes withheld, if any, is recorded on the accrual basis and includes paydown gain (loss) and accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums. Inflation adjustments related to inflation-linked debt securities are reflected as interest income. 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 long-term capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. The fund may estimate the components of distributions received that may be considered nontaxable distributions or long-term capital gain distributions for income tax purposes.
Securities Sold Short — The fund enters into short sales, which is selling securities it does not own, as part of its normal investment activities. Upon selling a security short, the fund will segregate cash, cash equivalents or other appropriate liquid securities in at least an amount equal to the current market value of the securities sold short until the fund replaces the borrowed security. Interest earned on segregated cash for securities sold short is reflected as interest income. The fund is required to pay any dividends or interest due on securities sold short. Such dividends and interest are recorded as an expense. The fund may pay fees or charges on the assets borrowed for securities sold short. These fees are calculated daily based upon the value of each security sold short and a rate that is dependent on the availability of such security. If the market price of a security increases after the fund borrows the security, the fund may suffer a loss when it replaces the borrowed security at the higher price. Any loss will be increased by the amount of compensation, interest or dividends, and transaction costs the fund must pay to the lender of the borrowed security. Liabilities for securities sold short are valued daily and changes in value are recorded as change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on securities sold short. The fund records realized gain (loss) on a security sold short when it is terminated by the fund and includes as a component of net realized gain (loss) on securities sold short transactions.
Foreign Currency Translations — All assets and liabilities initially expressed in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at prevailing exchange rates at period end. The fund may enter into spot foreign currency exchange contracts to facilitate transactions denominated in a foreign currency. Purchases and sales of investment securities, dividend and interest income, spot foreign currency exchange contracts, and expenses are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. Net realized and unrealized foreign currency exchange gains or losses related to investment securities are a component of net realized gain (loss) on investment transactions and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments, respectively.
Segregated Assets — In accordance with the 1940 Act, the fund segregates assets on its books and records to cover certain types of investments, including, but not limited to, short sales, futures contracts, options contracts, forward commitments, when-issued securities, swap agreements and certain forward foreign currency exchange contracts. American Century Investment Management, Inc. (ACIM) (the investment advisor) monitors, on a daily basis, the securities segregated to ensure the fund designates a sufficient amount of liquid assets, marked-to-market daily. The fund may also receive assets or be required to pledge
28
assets at the custodian bank or with a broker for margin requirements on short sales, futures contracts, options contracts, forward commitments and swap agreements.
Income Tax Status — It is the fund’s policy to distribute substantially all net investment income and net realized gains to shareholders and to otherwise qualify as a regulated investment company under provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, no provision has been made for income taxes. The fund files U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S. tax returns as applicable. The fund's tax returns are subject to examination by the relevant taxing authority until expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, which is generally three years from the date of filing but can be longer in certain jurisdictions. At this time, management believes there are no uncertain tax positions which, based on their technical merit, would not be sustained upon examination and for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.
Multiple Class — All shares of the fund represent an equal pro rata interest in the net assets of the class to which such shares belong, and have identical voting, dividend, liquidation and other rights and the same terms and conditions, except for class specific expenses and exclusive rights to vote on matters affecting only individual classes. Income, non-class specific expenses, and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses of the fund are allocated to each class of shares based on their relative net assets.
Distributions to Shareholders — Distributions from net investment income, if any, are generally declared and paid quarterly, but may be paid less frequently. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are generally declared and paid annually.
Indemnifications — Under the corporation’s organizational documents, its officers and directors are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the fund. In addition, in the normal course of business, the fund enters into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against a fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered by management to be remote.
3. Fees and Transactions with Related Parties
Certain officers and directors of the corporation are also officers and/or directors of American Century Companies, Inc. (ACC). The corporation’s investment advisor, ACIM, the corporation's distributor, American Century Investment Services, Inc. (ACIS), and the corporation’s transfer agent, American Century Services, LLC, are wholly owned, directly or indirectly, by ACC. ACIM has engaged Perella Weinberg Partners Capital Management LP (PWP) as a subadvisor for the fund. PWP is responsible for making recommendations with respect to hiring, terminating, or replacing the fund’s underlying subadvisors. The fund’s underlying subadvisors at the period end were ArrowMark Colorado Holdings LLC (formerly Arrowpoint Asset Management, LLC), Bain Capital Credit, LP, and Good Hill Partners LP. PWP determines the percentage of the fund’s portfolio allocated to each subadvisor, including PWP, in order to seek to achieve the fund’s investment objective. ACIM is responsible for entering into subadvisory agreements and overseeing the activities of each of the subadvisors including monitoring compliance with fund objectives, strategies and restrictions. ACIM pays all costs associated with retaining the subadvisors of the fund. ACIM and the fund’s subadvisors own 20% of the shares of the fund.
Management Fees — The corporation has entered into a management agreement with ACIM, under which ACIM provides the fund with investment advisory and management services in exchange for a single, unified management fee (the fee) per class. The agreement provides that all expenses of managing and operating the fund, except distribution and service fees, expenses on securities sold short, brokerage expenses, taxes, interest, fees and expenses of the independent directors (including legal counsel fees), and extraordinary expenses, will be paid by ACIM. The fee is computed and accrued daily based on each class's daily net assets and paid monthly in arrears. The difference in the fee among the classes is a result of their separate arrangements for shareholder services. It is not the result of any difference in advisory or custodial fees or other expenses related to the management of the fund’s assets, which do not vary by class. During the period ended April 30, 2017, the investment advisor agreed to waive 0.08% of the fund's management fee. The investment advisor expects this waiver to continue until April 9, 2018 and cannot terminate it prior to such date without the approval of the Board of Directors.
29
The annual management fee and the effective annual management fee after waiver for each class for the period ended April 30, 2017 are as follows:
Annual Management Fee | Effective Annual Management Fee After Waiver | |
Investor Class | 2.00% | 1.92% |
I Class | 1.80% | 1.72% |
Y Class | 1.65% | 1.57% |
A Class | 2.00% | 1.92% |
C Class | 2.00% | 1.92% |
R Class | 2.00% | 1.92% |
R6 Class | 1.65% | 1.57% |
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, 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 ACIS an annual distribution and service fee of 0.25%. The plans provide that the C Class will pay ACIS an annual distribution and service fee of 1.00%, of which 0.25% is paid for individual shareholder services and 0.75% is paid for distribution services. 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 period ended April 30, 2017 are detailed in the Statement of Operations.
Directors' Fees and Expenses — The Board of Directors is responsible for overseeing the investment advisor’s management and operations of the fund. The directors receive detailed information about the fund and its investment advisor regularly throughout the year, and meet at least quarterly with management of the investment advisor to review reports about fund operations. The fund’s officers do not receive compensation from the fund.
Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses — The fund may invest in mutual funds, exchange-traded funds, and business development companies (the acquired funds). The 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.
4. Investment Transactions
Purchases of investment securities and securities sold short, excluding short-term investments, for the period ended April 30, 2017 totaled $145,648,631, of which $6,360,547 represented U.S. Treasury and Government Agency obligations.

6. Fair Value Measurements
The fund’s investments valuation process is based on several considerations and may use multiple inputs to determine the fair value of the investments held by the fund. In conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the inputs used to determine a valuation are classified into three broad levels.
• | Level 1 valuation inputs consist of unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical investments. |
• | Level 2 valuation inputs consist of direct or indirect observable market data (including quoted prices for comparable investments, evaluations of subsequent market events, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.). These inputs also consist of quoted prices for identical investments initially expressed in local currencies that are adjusted through translation into U.S. dollars. |
31
• | Level 3 valuation inputs consist of unobservable data (including a fund’s own assumptions). |
The level classification is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair valuation measurement. The valuation inputs are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in these securities or other financial instruments. There were no significant transfers between levels during the period.
The following is a summary of the level classifications as of period end. The Schedule of Investments provides additional information on the fund’s portfolio holdings.

7. Derivative Instruments
Credit Risk — The fund is subject to credit risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The value of a bond generally declines as the credit quality of its issuer declines. Credit default swap agreements enable a fund to buy/sell protection against a credit event of a specific issuer or index. A fund may attempt to enhance returns by selling protection or attempt to mitigate credit risk by buying protection. The buyer/seller of credit protection against a security or basket of securities may pay/receive an up-front or periodic payment to compensate for/against potential default events. Changes in value, including the periodic amounts of interest to be paid or received on swap agreements, are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on swap agreements. Upon entering into a centrally cleared swap, a fund is required to deposit cash or securities (initial margin) with a financial intermediary in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the notional amount. Subsequent payments (variation margin) are made or received daily, in cash, by a fund. The variation margin is equal to the daily change in the value and is a component of unrealized gains and losses. Realized gain or loss is recorded upon receipt or payment of a periodic settlement or termination of swap agreements. Net realized and unrealized gains or losses occurring during the holding period of swap agreements are a component of net realized gain (loss) on swap agreement transactions and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on swap agreements, respectively. The risks of entering into swap
32
agreements include the possible lack of liquidity, failure of the counterparty to meet its obligations, and that there may be unfavorable changes in the underlying investments or instruments. The fund's average notional amount held during the period was $3,813,404.
Equity Price Risk — The fund is subject to equity price risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. A fund may enter into futures contracts or option contracts based on an equity index or specific security in order to manage its exposure to changes in market conditions. The risks of entering into equity price risk derivative instruments include the possible lack of liquidity, failure of the counterparty to meet its obligations, and that there may be unfavorable changes in the underlying investments or instruments.
A fund may purchase or write an option contract to protect against declines in market value on the underlying index or security. A purchased option contract provides the fund a right, but not an obligation, to buy (call) or sell (put) an equity-related asset at a specified exercise price within a certain period or on a specific date. A written option contract holds the corresponding obligation to sell (call writing) or buy (put writing) the underlying equity-related asset if the purchaser exercises the option contract. The buyer pays the seller an initial purchase price (premium) for this right. Option contracts purchased by a fund are accounted for in the same manner as marketable portfolio securities. The premium received by a fund for option contracts written is recorded as a liability and valued daily. The proceeds from securities sold through the exercise of option contracts are decreased by the premium paid to purchase the option contracts. A fund may recognize a realized gain or loss when the option contract is closed, exercised or expires. Net realized and unrealized gains or losses occurring during the holding period of purchased options contracts are a component of net realized gain (loss) on investment transactions and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments, respectively. Net realized and unrealized gains or losses occurring during the holding period of written options contracts are a component of net realized gain (loss) on written options contract transactions and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on written options contracts, respectively. The fund’s average exposure to these equity price risk derivative instruments during the period was 173 purchased options contracts and 539 written options contracts.
A fund may purchase futures contracts to gain exposure to increases in market value or sell futures contracts to protect against a decline in market value. Upon entering into a futures contract, a fund 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 a fund. The variation margin is equal to the daily change in the contract value and is recorded as unrealized gains and losses. A fund recognizes a realized gain or loss when the contract is closed or expires. Net realized and unrealized gains or
losses occurring during the holding period of futures contracts are a component of net realized gain (loss) on futures contract transactions and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on futures contracts, respectively. The fund's average exposure to these equity price risk derivative instruments during the period was 300 futures contracts.
Foreign Currency Risk — The fund is subject to foreign currency exchange rate risk in the normal course of
pursuing its investment objectives. The value of foreign investments held by a fund may be significantly
affected by changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The dollar value of a foreign security generally
decreases when the value of the dollar rises against the foreign currency in which the security is denominated
and tends to increase when the value of the dollar declines against such foreign currency. A fund may enter
into forward foreign currency exchange contracts to reduce a fund's exposure to foreign currency exchange
rate fluctuations or to gain exposure to the fluctuations in the value of foreign currencies. The net U.S. dollar
value of foreign currency underlying all contractual commitments held by a fund and the resulting unrealized
appreciation or depreciation are determined daily. Realized gain or loss is recorded upon the termination of
the contract. Net realized and unrealized gains or losses occurring during the holding period of forward foreign
currency exchange contracts are a component of net realized gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions and
change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on translation of assets and liabilities in foreign
currencies, respectively. A fund bears the risk of an unfavorable change in the foreign currency exchange rate
underlying the forward contract. Additionally, losses, up to the fair value, may arise if the counterparties do not
perform under the contract terms. The fund's average U.S. dollar exposure to foreign currency risk derivative
instruments held during the period was $1,007,195.
Interest Rate Risk — The fund is subject to interest rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The value of bonds generally declines as interest rates rise. A fund may enter into futures contracts based on a bond index or a specific underlying security. A fund may purchase futures contracts to gain exposure to increases in market value or sell futures contracts to protect against a decline in market value. Upon entering into a futures contract, a fund will segregate cash, cash equivalents or other appropriate liquid securities on its records in amounts sufficient to meet requirements. Subsequent payments (variation margin) are made or received daily, in cash, by a fund. The variation margin is equal to the daily change in the contract
33
value and is recorded as unrealized gains and losses. A fund recognizes a realized gain or loss when the futures contract is closed or expires. Net realized and unrealized gains or losses occurring during the holding period of futures contracts are a component of net realized gain (loss) on futures contract transactions and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on futures contracts, respectively. One of the risks of entering into futures contracts is the possibility that the change in value of the contract may not correlate with the changes in value of the underlying securities. The fund's average exposure to interest rate risk derivative instruments held during the period was 35 contracts.

8. Risk Factors
ACIM utilizes multiple subadvisors to manage the fund’s assets, each employing its own particular investment strategy. Multi-manager strategies can increase the fund's portfolio turnover rate, which could result in higher levels of realized capital gains or losses, higher brokerage commissions and other transaction costs.
34
The fund’s investments in secured and unsecured participations in bank loan obligations and assignments of such loans may create substantial risk. The market for bank loans may not be highly liquid and the fund may have difficulty selling them. The fund’s bank loan investments typically will result in the fund having a contractual relationship only with the lender, not with the borrower. In connection with purchasing loan participations, the fund generally will have no right to enforce compliance by borrowers with loan terms nor any set off rights, and the fund may not benefit directly from any posted collateral. As a result, the fund may be subject to the credit risk of both the borrower and the lender selling the participation.
The fund may invest in collateralized debt obligations, collateralized loan obligations and other related instruments. Collateralized debt obligations are subject to credit, interest rate, valuation, and prepayment and extension risks. These securities also are subject to risk of default on the underlying asset, particularly during periods of economic downturn.
The fund may invest in foreign securities, which are generally riskier than U.S. securities. As a result the fund may be subject to foreign risk, meaning that political events (such as civil unrest, national elections and imposition of exchange controls), social and economic events (such as labor strikes and rising inflation), and natural disasters occurring in a country where the fund invests could cause the fund’s investments in that country to experience losses. For these and other reasons, securities of foreign issuers may be less liquid and more volatile. Investing in securities of companies located in emerging market countries generally is riskier than investing in securities of companies located in foreign developed countries.
Issuers of high-yield securities (also known as “junk bonds”) are more vulnerable to real or perceived economic changes (such as an economic downturn or a prolonged period of rising interest rates), political changes or adverse developments specific to an issuer. These factors may be more likely to cause an issuer of low quality bonds to default on its obligations.
The fund may also be subject to liquidity risk. During periods of market turbulence or unusually low trading activity, in order to meet redemptions it may be necessary for the fund to sell securities at prices that could have an adverse effect on the fund’s share price.
Mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities are subject to additional risks including prepayment and extension risk. Mortgage-backed securities offered by non-governmental issuers are subject to specific risks, such as the failure of private insurers to meet their obligations and unexpectedly high rates of default on the mortgages backing the securities. Other asset-backed securities are subject to risks similar to those associated with mortgage-backed securities, as well as risks associated with the nature and servicing of the assets underlying the securities. Asset-backed securities may not have the benefit of a security interest in
collateral comparable to that of mortgage assets, resulting in additional credit risk.
9. Federal Tax Information
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 period end, the components of investments for federal income tax purposes were as follows:
Federal tax cost of investments | $ | 215,727,368 | |
Gross tax appreciation of investments | $ | 4,509,214 | |
Gross tax depreciation of investments | (1,062,394 | ) | |
Net tax appreciation (depreciation) of investments | $ | 3,446,820 | |
Net tax appreciation (depreciation) on securities sold short | (10,838 | ) | |
Net tax appreciation (depreciation) | $ | 3,435,982 |
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales.
As of October 31, 2016, the fund had accumulated short-term capital losses of $(2,277,603) and accumulated long-term capital losses of $(137,267), which represent net capital loss carryovers that may be used to offset future realized capital gains for federal income tax purposes. The capital loss carryovers may be carried forward for an unlimited period. Future capital loss carryover utilization in any given year may be subject to Internal Revenue Code limitations.

10. Recently Issued Accounting Guidance
In October 2016, the Securities and Exchange Commission adopted new rules and forms as well as amendments to its rules and forms to modernize the reporting and disclosure of information by registered investment companies. The amendments to Regulation S-X will require standardized, enhanced disclosure about derivatives in investment company financial statements, as well as other provisions. Compliance with the amendments is effective on August 1, 2017. Management is currently evaluating the impact that adopting the amendments will have on the financial statement disclosures.

Additional Information |
Retirement Account Information
As required by law, distributions you receive from certain IRAs 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. For systematic withdrawals, your withholding election will remain in effect until revoked or changed by filing a new election. You have the right to revoke your election at any time.
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 (or as otherwise required by state law). State taxes will be withheld from your distribution in accordance with the respective state rules.
Distributions you receive from 403(b), 457 and qualified plans are subject to special tax and withholding rules. Your plan administrator or plan sponsor is required to provide you with a special tax notice explaining those rules at the time you request a distribution. If applicable, federal and/or state taxes may be withheld from your distribution amount.

Dear Investor:
Thank you for reviewing this semiannual report for the period ended April 30, 2017. It provides a market overview (below), followed by a schedule of fund investments and other financial information. For additional commentary and information on fund performance, plus other investment insights, we encourage you to visit our website, americancentury.com.
“Trump Trade” Triggered Surges in U.S. Stock Prices and Treasury Yields
Especially in the U.S., the signature events of the six-month period were Donald Trump’s victory in the U.S. presidential election in November and the resulting “Trump Trade.” President Trump’s aggressive pro-growth fiscal policy agenda triggered risk-on rallies in higher-risk assets such as stocks and high-yield corporate bonds that produced double-digit gains for many broad U.S. and global/non-U.S. equity indices. For example, the S&P 500 Index and the MSCI EAFE Index gained 13.32% and 11.47%, respectively. In the U.S., growth and small-cap equity indices generally outperformed their value and large-cap counterparts.
The Trump Trade and improving global economic conditions also drove government bond yields higher, and boosted the value of the U.S. dollar against other currencies. This caused most bond indices to decline during the period, except those representing emerging market and corporate debt, which benefited from investors’ continuing search for more yield than what’s available in government bonds. Also, higher-yielding and corporate bonds are perceived as less price change-sensitive to rising interest rates.
Yields rose for short- and long-maturity U.S. Treasuries as the Federal Reserve raised its interest rate target twice during the reporting period, and suggested that it might raise rates again and start gradually reducing its balance sheet by the end of 2017. These factors, plus rising inflation, could trigger more bouts of U.S. bond market volatility. Meanwhile, the Trump Trade could prove to be double-edged—its momentum faded as health care and tax reform enactment faced delays. This, along with ongoing questions about the Trump administration’s practices, policies, and alliances, could impede further risk-on sentiment. In this unsettled environment, we believe in remaining focused on investment goals, using disciplined, actively managed, risk-aware strategies. We appreciate your continued trust in us.
Sincerely,
![image48a01.jpg](https://capedge.com/proxy/N-CSRS/0000908186-17-000157/image48a01.jpg)

Shareholder Fee Example |
Fund shareholders may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and redemption/exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service (12b-1) fees; and other fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in your fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing cost of investing in other mutual funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from November 1, 2016 to April 30, 2017 (except as noted).
Actual Expenses
The table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses for each class. You may use the information, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. First, identify the share class you own. Then simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
If you hold Investor Class shares of any American Century Investments fund, or I 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. 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.

(1) | Expenses are equal to the class's annualized expense ratio listed in the table above, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181, the number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year, divided by 365, to reflect the one-half year period. |

Had the class been available for the full period, the expenses paid during the period would have been higher. |

Notes to Financial Statements |
APRIL 30, 2017 (UNAUDITED)
1. Organization
American Century Capital Portfolios, Inc. (the corporation) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company and is organized as a Maryland corporation. AC Alternatives Long Short Fund (the fund) is one fund in a series issued by the corporation. The fund’s investment objective is to seek to provide capital appreciation.
The fund offers the Investor Class, I Class (formerly Institutional Class), Y Class, A Class, C Class, R Class and R6 Class. The A Class may incur an initial sales charge. The A Class and C Class may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge. Sale of the Y Class commenced on April 10, 2017.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the fund in preparation of its financial statements. The fund is an investment company and follows accounting and reporting guidance in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. This may require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Management evaluated the impact of events or transactions occurring through the date the financial statements were issued that would merit recognition or disclosure.
Investment Valuations — The fund determines the fair value of its investments and computes its net asset value per share at the close of regular trading (usually 4 p.m. Eastern time) on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on each day the NYSE is open. The Board of Directors has adopted valuation policies and procedures to guide the investment advisor in the fund’s investment valuation process and to provide methodologies for the oversight of the fund’s pricing function.
Equity securities that are listed or traded on a domestic securities exchange are valued at the last reported sales price or at the official closing price as provided by the exchange. Participatory notes and equity securities traded on foreign securities exchanges are generally valued at the closing price of such securities on the exchange where primarily traded or at the close of the NYSE, if that is earlier. If no last sales price is reported, or if local convention or regulation so provides, the mean of the latest bid and asked prices may be used. Securities traded over-the-counter are valued at the mean of the latest bid and asked prices, the last sales price, or the official closing price. Equity securities initially expressed in local currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the mean of the appropriate currency exchange rate at the close of the NYSE as provided by an independent pricing service.
Open-end management investment companies are valued at the reported net asset value per share. Exchange-traded futures and options contracts are valued based on quoted prices as provided by the appropriate exchange. Swap agreements are valued at an evaluated mean as provided by independent pricing services or at the closing price of the reference entity on the exchange where primarily traded. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are valued at the mean of the appropriate forward exchange rate at the close of the NYSE as provided by an independent pricing service. Investments initially expressed in local currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the mean of the appropriate currency exchange rate at the close of the NYSE as provided by an independent pricing service.
If the fund determines that the market price for an investment is not readily available or the valuation methods mentioned above do not reflect an investment’s fair value, such investment is valued as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors or its delegate, in accordance with policies and procedures adopted by the Board of Directors. In its determination of fair value, the fund may review several factors including, but not limited to, market information regarding the specific investment or comparable investments and correlation with other investment types, futures indices or general market indicators. Circumstances that may cause the fund to use these procedures to value an investment include, but are not limited to: an investment has been declared in default or is distressed; trading in a security has been suspended during the trading day or a security is not actively trading on its principal exchange; prices received from a regular pricing source are deemed unreliable; or there is a foreign market holiday and no trading occurred.
24
The fund monitors for significant events occurring after the close of an investment’s primary exchange but before the fund’s net asset value per share is determined. Significant events may include, but are not limited to: corporate announcements and transactions; governmental action and political unrest that could impact a specific investment or an investment sector; or armed conflicts, natural disasters and similar events that could affect investments in a specific country or region. The fund also monitors for significant fluctuations between domestic and foreign markets, as evidenced by the U.S. market or such other indicators that the Board of Directors, or its delegate, deems appropriate. If significant fluctuations in foreign markets are identified, the fund may apply a model-derived factor to the closing price of equity securities traded on foreign securities exchanges. The factor is based on observable market data as provided by an independent pricing service.
Security Transactions — Security transactions are accounted for as of the trade date. Net realized gains and losses are determined on the identified cost basis, which is also used for federal income tax purposes.
Investment Income — Dividend income less foreign taxes withheld, if any, is recorded as of the ex-dividend date. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or long-term capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. The fund may estimate the components of distributions received that may be considered nontaxable distributions or long-term 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 Sold Short — The fund enters into short sales, which is selling securities it does not own, as part of its normal investment activities. Upon selling a security short, the fund will segregate cash, cash equivalents or other appropriate liquid securities in at least an amount equal to the current market value of the securities sold short until the fund replaces the borrowed security. Interest earned on segregated cash for securities sold short is reflected as interest income. The fund is required to pay any dividends or interest due on securities sold short. Such dividends and interest are recorded as an expense. The fund may pay fees or charges on the assets borrowed for securities sold short. These fees are calculated daily based upon the value of each security sold short and a rate that is dependent on the availability of such security. If the market price of a security increases after the fund borrows the security, the fund may suffer a loss when it replaces the borrowed security at the higher price. Any loss will be increased by the amount of compensation, interest or dividends, and transaction costs the fund must pay to the lender of the borrowed security. Liabilities for securities sold short are valued daily and changes in value are recorded as change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on securities sold short. The fund records realized gain (loss) on a security sold short when it is terminated by the fund and includes as a component of net realized gain (loss) on securities sold short transactions.
Foreign Currency Translations — All assets and liabilities initially expressed in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at prevailing exchange rates at period end. The fund may enter into spot foreign currency exchange contracts to facilitate transactions denominated in a foreign currency. Purchases and sales of investment securities, dividend and interest income, spot foreign currency exchange contracts, and expenses are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. Net realized and unrealized foreign currency exchange gains or losses related to investment securities are a component of net realized gain (loss) on investment transactions and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments, respectively. Net realized and unrealized foreign currency exchange gains or losses related to securities sold short are a component of net realized gain (loss) on securities sold short transactions and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on securities sold short, respectively.
Segregated Assets — In accordance with the 1940 Act, the fund segregates assets on its books and records to cover certain types of investments, including, but not limited to, short sales, futures contracts, options contracts, forward commitments, when-issued securities, swap agreements and certain forward foreign currency exchange contracts. American Century Investment Management, Inc. (ACIM) (the investment advisor) monitors, on a daily basis, the securities segregated to ensure the fund designates a sufficient amount of liquid assets, marked-to-market daily. The fund may also receive assets or be required to pledge assets at the custodian bank or with a broker for margin requirements on short sales, futures contracts, options contracts, forward commitments and swap agreements.
Income Tax Status — It is the fund’s policy to distribute substantially all net investment income and net realized gains to shareholders and to otherwise qualify as a regulated investment company under provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, no provision has been made for income taxes. The fund files U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S. tax returns as applicable. The fund's tax returns are subject to examination by the relevant taxing authority until expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, which is generally three years from the date of filing but can be longer in certain jurisdictions. At this time, management believes there
25
are no uncertain tax positions which, based on their technical merit, would not be sustained upon examination and for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.
Multiple Class — All shares of the fund represent an equal pro rata interest in the net assets of the class to which such shares belong, and have identical voting, dividend, liquidation and other rights and the same terms and conditions, except for class specific expenses and exclusive rights to vote on matters affecting only individual classes. Income, non-class specific expenses, and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses of the fund are allocated to each class of shares based on their relative net assets.
Distributions to Shareholders — Distributions from net investment income and net realized gains, if any, are generally declared and paid annually.
Indemnifications — Under the corporation’s organizational documents, its officers and directors are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the fund. In addition, in the normal course of business, the fund enters into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against a fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered by management to be remote.
3. Fees and Transactions with Related Parties
Certain officers and directors of the corporation are also officers and/or directors of American Century Companies, Inc. (ACC). The corporation’s investment advisor, ACIM, the corporation's distributor, American Century Investment Services, Inc. (ACIS), and the corporation’s transfer agent, American Century Services, LLC, are wholly owned, directly or indirectly, by ACC. ACIM has engaged Perella Weinberg Partners Capital Management LP (PWP) as a subadvisor for the fund. PWP is responsible for making recommendations with respect to hiring, terminating, or replacing the fund’s underlying subadvisors. The fund’s underlying
subadvisors at the period end were Passport Capital, LLC, Sirios Capital Management, L.P., Three Bridges Capital, LP and Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC. PWP determines the percentage of the fund’s portfolio allocated to each subadvisor, including PWP, in order to seek to achieve the fund’s investment objective. ACIM is responsible for entering into subadvisory agreements and overseeing the activities of each of the subadvisors including monitoring compliance with fund objectives, strategies and restrictions. ACIM pays all costs associated with retaining the subadvisors of the fund. ACIM and the fund’s subadvisors own 99% of the shares of the fund. Related parties do not invest in the fund for the purpose of exercising management or control.
Management Fees — The corporation has entered into a management agreement with ACIM, under which ACIM provides the fund with investment advisory and management services in exchange for a single, unified management fee (the fee) per class. The agreement provides that all expenses of managing and operating the fund, except distribution and service fees, expenses on securities sold short, brokerage expenses, taxes, interest, fees and expenses of the independent directors (including legal counsel fees), and extraordinary expenses, will be paid by ACIM. The fee is computed and accrued daily based on each class's daily net assets and paid monthly in arrears. The difference in the fee among the classes is a result of their separate arrangements for shareholder services. It is not the result of any difference in advisory or custodial fees or other expenses related to the management of the fund’s assets, which do not vary by class.
The annual management fee for each class is as follows:
Investor Class | I Class | Y Class | A Class | C Class | R Class | R6 Class |
2.40% | 2.20% | 2.05% | 2.40% | 2.40% | 2.40% | 2.05% |
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, 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 ACIS an annual distribution and service fee of 0.25%. The plans provide that the C Class will pay ACIS an annual distribution and service fee of 1.00%, of which 0.25% is paid for individual shareholder services and 0.75% is paid for distribution services. 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 period ended April 30, 2017 are detailed in the Statement of Operations.
26
Directors' Fees and Expenses — The Board of Directors is responsible for overseeing the investment advisor’s management and operations of the fund. The directors receive detailed information about the fund and its investment advisor regularly throughout the year, and meet at least quarterly with management of the investment advisor to review reports about fund operations. The fund’s officers do not receive compensation from the fund.
Other Expenses — The fund’s other expenses may include interest charges, clearing exchange fees, proxy
solicitation expenses, filing fees for foreign tax reclaims and other miscellaneous expenses. The impact of
other expenses to the ratio of operating expenses to average net assets was 0.02% for the period ended
April 30, 2017.
Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses — The fund may invest in mutual funds, exchange-traded funds, and business development companies (the acquired funds). The 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.
4. Investment Transactions
Purchases and sales of investment securities and securities sold short, excluding short-term investments, for the period ended April 30, 2017 were $70,801,588 and $70,769,931, respectively.

6. Fair Value Measurements
The fund’s investments valuation process is based on several considerations and may use multiple inputs to determine the fair value of the investments held by the fund. In conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the inputs used to determine a valuation are classified into three broad levels.
• | Level 1 valuation inputs consist of unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical investments. |
• | Level 2 valuation inputs consist of direct or indirect observable market data (including quoted prices for comparable investments, evaluations of subsequent market events, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.). These inputs also consist of quoted prices for identical investments initially expressed in local currencies that are adjusted through translation into U.S. dollars. |
• | Level 3 valuation inputs consist of unobservable data (including a fund’s own assumptions). |
28
The level classification is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair valuation measurement. The valuation inputs are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in these securities or other financial instruments. There were no significant transfers between levels during the period.
The following is a summary of the level classifications as of period end. The Schedule of Investments provides additional information on the fund’s portfolio holdings.

7. Derivative Instruments
Equity Price Risk — The fund is subject to equity price risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. A fund may enter into futures contracts, total return swap agreements or options contracts based on an equity index or specific security in order to manage its exposure to changes in market conditions. The risks of entering into equity price risk derivative instruments include the possible lack of liquidity, failure of the counterparty to meet its obligations, and that there may be unfavorable changes in the underlying investments or instruments.
A fund may purchase or write an option contract to protect against declines in market value on the underlying index or security. A purchased option contract provides the fund a right, but not an obligation, to buy (call) or sell (put) an equity-related asset at a specified exercise price within a certain period or on a specific date. A written option contract holds the corresponding obligation to sell (call writing) or buy (put writing) the underlying equity-related asset if the purchaser exercises the option contract. The buyer pays the seller an initial purchase price (premium) for this right. Option contracts purchased by a fund are accounted for in the same manner as marketable portfolio securities. The premium received by a fund for option contracts written is recorded as a liability and valued daily. The proceeds from securities sold through the exercise of option contracts are decreased by the premium paid to purchase the option contracts. A fund may recognize a realized gain or loss when the option contract is closed, exercised or expires. Net realized and unrealized gains or losses occurring during the holding period of purchased options contracts are a component of net realized gain (loss) on investment transactions and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments, respectively. Net realized and unrealized gains or losses occurring during the holding period of written options contracts are a component of net realized gain (loss) on written options contract transactions and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on written options contracts, respectively. The fund’s average exposure to these equity price risk derivative instruments during the period was 400 purchased options contracts and 206 written options contracts.
A fund may purchase futures contracts to gain exposure to increases in market value or sell futures contracts to protect against a decline in market value. Upon entering into a futures contract, a fund 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 a fund. The variation margin is equal to the daily change in the contract value and is recorded as unrealized gains and losses. A fund recognizes a realized gain or loss when the contract is closed or expires. Net realized and unrealized gains or
losses occurring during the holding period of futures contracts are a component of net realized gain (loss) on futures contract transactions and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on futures contracts, respectively. The fund's average exposure to these equity price risk derivative instruments during the period was 204 futures contracts.
A fund may enter into total return swap agreements in order to attempt to obtain or preserve a particular return or spread at a lower cost than obtaining a return or spread through purchases and/or sales of instruments in other markets or gain exposure to certain markets in the most economical way possible. A fund will segregate cash, cash equivalents or other appropriate liquid securities on its records in amounts sufficient to meet requirements. Changes in value, including the periodic amounts of interest to be paid or received on swap agreements, are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on swap agreements. Realized gain or loss is recorded upon receipt or payment of a periodic settlement or termination of swap agreements. Net realized and unrealized gains or losses occurring during the holding period of swap agreements are a component of net realized gain (loss) on swap agreement transactions and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on swap agreements, respectively. The fund's average swap agreement units held during the period was 437,787.
Foreign Currency Risk — The fund is subject to foreign currency exchange rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The value of foreign investments held by a fund may be significantly affected by changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The dollar value of a foreign security generally decreases when the value of the dollar rises against the foreign currency in which the security is denominated and tends to increase when the value of the dollar declines against such foreign currency. A fund may enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts to reduce a fund's exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations or to gain exposure to the fluctuations in the value of foreign currencies. The net U.S. dollar value of foreign currency underlying all contractual commitments held by a fund and the resulting unrealized appreciation or depreciation are determined daily. Realized gain or loss is recorded upon the termination of the contract. Net realized and unrealized gains or losses occurring during the holding period of forward foreign currency exchange contracts are a component of net realized gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on translation of assets and liabilities in foreign currencies, respectively. A fund bears the risk of an unfavorable change in the foreign currency exchange rate
30
underlying the forward contract. Additionally, losses, up to the fair value, may arise if the counterparties do not perform under the contract terms. The fund's average U.S. dollar exposure to foreign currency risk derivative instruments held during the period was $10,738,433.

8. Risk Factors
ACIM utilizes multiple subadvisors to manage the fund’s assets, each employing its own particular investment strategy. Multi-manager strategies can increase the fund's portfolio turnover rate, which could result in higher levels of realized capital gains or losses, higher brokerage commissions and other transaction costs.
The fund may invest in foreign securities, which are generally riskier than U.S. securities. As a result the fund may be subject to foreign risk, meaning that political events (such as civil unrest, national elections and imposition of exchange controls), social and economic events (such as labor strikes and rising inflation), and natural disasters occurring in a country where the fund invests could cause the fund’s investments in that country to experience losses. For these and other reasons, securities of foreign issuers may be less liquid and more volatile. Investing in securities of companies located in emerging market countries generally is riskier than investing in securities of companies located in foreign developed countries.
The fund is subject to short sales risk. If the market price of a security increases after the fund borrows the security to sell short, the fund will suffer a loss when it replaces the borrowed security at the higher price. Any loss will be increased by the amount of compensation, interest or dividends, and transaction costs the fund must pay to a lender of the security.

9. Federal Tax Information
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 period end, the components of investments for federal income tax purposes were as follows:
Federal tax cost of investments | $ | 47,651,358 | |
Gross tax appreciation of investments | $ | 6,483,503 | |
Gross tax depreciation of investments | (418,893 | ) | |
Net tax appreciation (depreciation) of investments | 6,064,610 | ||
Net tax appreciation (depreciation) on securities sold short | (1,380,995 | ) | |
Net tax appreciation (depreciation) | $ | 4,683,615 |
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales.
As of October 31, 2016, the fund had accumulated short-term capital losses of $(453,428) and accumulated long-term capital losses of $(152,833), which represent net capital loss carryovers that may be used to offset future realized capital gains for federal income tax purposes. The capital loss carryovers may be carried forward for an unlimited period. Future capital loss carryover utilization in any given year may be subject to Internal Revenue Code limitations.
As of October 31, 2016, the fund had late-year ordinary loss deferrals of $(576,473), which represent certain qualified losses that the fund has elected to treat as having been incurred in the following fiscal year for federal income tax purposes.
10. Recently Issued Accounting Guidance
In October 2016, the Securities and Exchange Commission adopted new rules and forms as well as amendments to its rules and forms to modernize the reporting and disclosure of information by registered investment companies. The amendments to Regulation S-X will require standardized, enhanced disclosure about derivatives in investment company financial statements, as well as other provisions. Compliance with the amendments is effective on August 1, 2017. Management is currently evaluating the impact that adopting the amendments will have on the financial statement disclosures.

Additional Information |
Retirement Account Information
As required by law, distributions you receive from certain IRAs 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. For systematic withdrawals, your withholding election will remain in effect until revoked or changed by filing a new election. You have the right to revoke your election at any time.
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 (or as otherwise required by state law). State taxes will be withheld from your distribution in accordance with the respective state rules.
Distributions you receive from 403(b), 457 and qualified plans are subject to special tax and withholding rules. Your plan administrator or plan sponsor is required to provide you with a special tax notice explaining those rules at the time you request a distribution. If applicable, federal and/or state taxes may be withheld from your distribution amount.

Dear Investor:
Thank you for reviewing this semiannual report for the period ended April 30, 2017. It provides a market overview (below), followed by a schedule of fund investments and other financial information. For additional commentary and information on fund performance, plus other investment insights, we encourage you to visit our website, americancentury.com.
“Trump Trade” Triggered Surges in U.S. Stock Prices and Treasury Yields
Especially in the U.S., the signature events of the six-month period were Donald Trump’s victory in the U.S. presidential election in November and the resulting “Trump Trade.” President Trump’s aggressive pro-growth fiscal policy agenda triggered risk-on rallies in higher-risk assets such as stocks and high-yield corporate bonds that produced double-digit gains for many broad U.S. and global/non-U.S. equity indices. For example, the S&P 500 Index and the MSCI EAFE Index gained 13.32% and 11.47%, respectively. In the U.S., growth and small-cap equity indices generally outperformed their value and large-cap counterparts.
The Trump Trade and improving global economic conditions also drove government bond yields higher, and boosted the value of the U.S. dollar against other currencies. This caused most bond indices to decline during the period, except those representing emerging market and corporate debt, which benefited from investors’ continuing search for more yield than what’s available in government bonds. Also, higher-yielding and corporate bonds are perceived as less price change-sensitive to rising interest rates.
Yields rose for short- and long-maturity U.S. Treasuries as the Federal Reserve raised its interest rate target twice during the reporting period, and suggested that it might raise rates again and start gradually reducing its balance sheet by the end of 2017. These factors, plus rising inflation, could trigger more bouts of U.S. bond market volatility. Meanwhile, the Trump Trade could prove to be double-edged—its momentum faded as health care and tax reform enactment faced delays. This, along with ongoing questions about the Trump administration’s practices, policies, and alliances, could impede further risk-on sentiment.

Shareholder Fee Example |
Fund shareholders may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and redemption/exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service (12b-1) fees; and other fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in your fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing cost of investing in other mutual funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from November 1, 2016 to April 30, 2017 (except as noted).
Actual Expenses
The table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses for each class. You may use the information, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. First, identify the share class you own. Then simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
If you hold Investor Class shares of any American Century Investments fund, or I 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. 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.

APRIL 30, 2017 (UNAUDITED)
1. Organization
American Century Capital Portfolios, Inc. (the corporation) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company and is organized as a Maryland corporation. Global Real Estate Fund (the fund) is one fund in a series issued by the corporation. The fund’s investment objective is to seek high total investment return through a combination of capital appreciation and current income.
The fund offers the Investor Class, I Class (formerly Institutional Class), Y Class, A Class, C Class, R Class, R5 Class and R6 Class. The A Class may incur an initial sales charge. The A Class and C Class may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge. Sale of the Y Class and R5 Class commenced on April 10, 2017.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the fund in preparation of its financial statements. The fund is an investment company and follows accounting and reporting guidance in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. This may require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Management evaluated the impact of events or transactions occurring through the date the financial statements were issued that would merit recognition or disclosure.
Investment Valuations — The fund determines the fair value of its investments and computes its net asset value per share at the close of regular trading (usually 4 p.m. Eastern time) on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on each day the NYSE is open. The Board of Directors has adopted valuation policies and procedures to guide the investment advisor in the fund’s investment valuation process and to provide methodologies for the oversight of the fund’s pricing function.
Equity securities that are listed or traded on a domestic securities exchange are valued at the last reported sales price or at the official closing price as provided by the exchange. Equity securities traded on foreign securities exchanges are generally valued at the closing price of such securities on the exchange where primarily traded or at the close of the NYSE, if that is earlier. If no last sales price is reported, or if local convention or regulation so provides, the mean of the latest bid and asked prices may be used. Securities traded over-the-counter are valued at the mean of the latest bid and asked prices, the last sales price, or the official closing price. Equity securities initially expressed in local currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the mean of the appropriate currency exchange rate at the close of the NYSE as provided by an independent pricing service.
Open-end management investment companies are valued at the reported net asset value per share. Repurchase agreements are valued at cost, which approximates fair value.
If the fund determines that the market price for an investment is not readily available or the valuation methods mentioned above do not reflect an investment’s fair value, such investment is valued as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors or its delegate, in accordance with policies and procedures adopted by the Board of Directors. In its determination of fair value, the fund may review several factors including, but not limited to, market information regarding the specific investment or comparable investments and correlation with other investment types, futures indices or general market indicators. Circumstances that may cause the fund to use these procedures to value an investment include, but are not limited to: an investment has been declared in default or is distressed; trading in a security has been suspended during the trading day or a security is not actively trading on its principal exchange; prices received from a regular pricing source are deemed unreliable; or there is a foreign market holiday and no trading occurred.
The fund monitors for significant events occurring after the close of an investment’s primary exchange but before the fund’s net asset value per share is determined. Significant events may include, but are not limited to: corporate announcements and transactions; governmental action and political unrest that could impact a specific investment or an investment sector; or armed conflicts, natural disasters and similar events that could affect investments in a specific country or region. The fund also monitors for significant fluctuations between
12
domestic and foreign markets, as evidenced by the U.S. market or such other indicators that the Board of Directors, or its delegate, deems appropriate. If significant fluctuations in foreign markets are identified, the fund may apply a model-derived factor to the closing price of equity securities traded on foreign securities exchanges. The factor is based on observable market data as provided by an independent pricing service.
Security Transactions — Security transactions are accounted for as of the trade date. Net realized gains and losses are determined on the identified cost basis, which is also used for federal income tax purposes.
Investment Income — Dividend income less foreign taxes withheld, if any, is recorded as of the ex-dividend date. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or long-term capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. The fund may estimate the components of distributions received that may be considered nontaxable distributions or long-term capital gain distributions for income tax purposes. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis and includes accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums.
Foreign Currency Translations — All assets and liabilities initially expressed in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at prevailing exchange rates at period end. The fund may enter into spot foreign currency exchange contracts to facilitate transactions denominated in a foreign currency. Purchases and sales of investment securities, dividend and interest income, spot foreign currency exchange contracts, and expenses are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. Net realized and unrealized foreign currency exchange gains or losses related to investment securities are a component of net realized gain (loss) on investment transactions and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments, respectively.
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. 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. Accordingly, no provision has been made for income taxes. The fund files U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S. tax returns as applicable. The fund's tax returns are subject to examination by the relevant taxing authority until expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, which is generally three years from the date of filing but can be longer in certain jurisdictions. At this time, management believes there are no uncertain tax positions which, based on their technical merit, would not be sustained upon examination and for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.
Multiple Class — All shares of the fund represent an equal pro rata interest in the net assets of the class to which such shares belong, and have identical voting, dividend, liquidation and other rights and the same terms and conditions, except for class specific expenses and exclusive rights to vote on matters affecting only individual classes. Income, non-class specific expenses, and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses of the fund are allocated to each class of shares based on their relative net assets.
Distributions to Shareholders — Distributions from net investment income and net realized gains, if any, are generally declared and paid annually.
Indemnifications — Under the corporation’s organizational documents, its officers and directors are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the fund. In addition, in the normal course of business, the fund enters into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against a fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered by management to be remote.

3. Fees and Transactions with Related Parties
Certain officers and directors of the corporation are also officers and/or directors of American Century Companies, Inc. (ACC). The corporation’s investment advisor, ACIM, the corporation's distributor, American Century Investment Services, Inc. (ACIS), and the corporation’s transfer agent, American Century Services, LLC, are wholly owned, directly or indirectly, by ACC.
Management Fees — The corporation has entered into a management agreement with ACIM, under which ACIM provides the fund with investment advisory and management services in exchange for a single, unified management fee (the fee) per class. The agreement provides that all expenses of managing and operating the fund, except distribution and service fees, brokerage expenses, taxes, interest, fees and expenses of the independent directors (including legal counsel fees), and extraordinary expenses, will be paid by ACIM. The fee is computed and accrued daily based on each class's daily net assets and paid monthly in arrears. The difference in the fee among the classes is a result of their separate arrangements for shareholder services. It is not the result of any difference in advisory or custodial fees or other expenses related to the management of the fund’s assets, which do not vary by class. During the period ended April 30, 2017, the investment advisor agreed to waive 0.08% of the fund's management fee. The investment advisor expects this waiver to continue until April 9, 2018 and cannot terminate it prior to such date without the approval of the Board of Directors.
The annual management fee and the effective annual management fee after waiver for each class for the period ended April 30, 2017 are as follows:
Class | Annual Management Fee | Effective Annual Management Fee After Waiver |
Investor Class | 1.20% | 1.12% |
I Class | 1.00% | 0.92% |
Y Class | 0.85% | 0.77% |
A Class | 1.20% | 1.12% |
C Class | 1.20% | 1.12% |
R Class | 1.20% | 1.12% |
R5 Class | 1.00% | 0.92% |
R6 Class | 0.85% | 0.77% |
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, 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 ACIS an annual distribution and service fee of 0.25%. The plans provide that the C Class will pay ACIS an annual distribution and service fee of 1.00%, of which 0.25% is paid for individual shareholder services and 0.75% is paid for distribution services. 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 period ended April 30, 2017 are detailed in the Statement of Operations.
Directors' Fees and Expenses — The Board of Directors is responsible for overseeing the investment advisor’s management and operations of the fund. The directors receive detailed information about the fund and its investment advisor regularly throughout the year, and meet at least quarterly with management of the investment advisor to review reports about fund operations. The fund’s officers do not receive compensation from the fund.
Interfund Transactions — The fund may enter into security transactions with other American Century Investments funds and other client accounts of the investment advisor, in accordance with the 1940 Act rules and procedures adopted by the Board of Directors. The rules and procedures require, among other things, that these transactions be effected at the independent current market price of the security. During the period, the interfund purchases and sales were $130,968 and $492,067, respectively. The effect of interfund transactions on the Statement of Operations was $39,827 in net realized gain (loss) on investment transactions.
4. Investment Transactions
Purchases and sales of investment securities, excluding short-term investments, for the period ended April 30, 2017 were $101,767,945 and $120,316,114, respectively.

6. Fair Value Measurements
The fund’s investments valuation process is based on several considerations and may use multiple inputs to determine the fair value of the investments held by the fund. In conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the inputs used to determine a valuation are classified into three broad levels.
• | Level 1 valuation inputs consist of unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical investments. |
• | Level 2 valuation inputs consist of direct or indirect observable market data (including quoted prices for comparable investments, evaluations of subsequent market events, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.). These inputs also consist of quoted prices for identical investments initially expressed in local currencies that are adjusted through translation into U.S. dollars. |
• | Level 3 valuation inputs consist of unobservable data (including a fund’s own assumptions). |
The level classification is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair valuation measurement. The valuation inputs are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in these securities or other financial instruments. There were no significant transfers between levels during the period.
The following is a summary of the level classifications as of period end. The Schedule of Investments provides additional information on the fund’s portfolio holdings.

7. 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.
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. Investing in emerging markets may accentuate these risks.
The fund’s investment process may result in high portfolio turnover, which could mean high transaction costs, affecting both performance and capital gains tax liabilities to investors.
16
8. Federal Tax Information
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 period end, the components of investments for federal income tax purposes were as follows:
Federal tax cost of investments | $ | 79,735,569 | |
Gross tax appreciation of investments | $ | 4,177,696 | |
Gross tax depreciation of investments | (1,216,887 | ) | |
Net tax appreciation (depreciation) of investments | $ | 2,960,809 |
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is attributable primarily to the realization to ordinary income for tax purposes of unrealized gains on investments in passive foreign investment companies.
As of October 31, 2016, the fund had accumulated short-term capital losses of $(2,139,940), which represent net capital loss carryovers that may be used to offset future realized capital gains for federal income tax purposes. The capital loss carryovers may be carried forward for an unlimited period. Future capital loss carryover utilization in any given year may be subject to Internal Revenue Code limitations.
9. Recently Issued Accounting Guidance
In October 2016, the Securities and Exchange Commission adopted new rules and forms as well as amendments to its rules and forms to modernize the reporting and disclosure of information by registered investment companies. The amendments to Regulation S-X will require standardized, enhanced disclosure about derivatives in investment company financial statements, as well as other provisions. Compliance with the amendments is effective on August 1, 2017. Management is currently evaluating the impact that adopting the amendments will have on the financial statement disclosures.

Additional Information |
Retirement Account Information
As required by law, distributions you receive from certain IRAs 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. For systematic withdrawals, your withholding election will remain in effect until revoked or changed by filing a new election. You have the right to revoke your election at any time.
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 (or as otherwise required by state law). State taxes will be withheld from your distribution in accordance with the respective state rules.
Distributions you receive from 403(b), 457 and qualified plans are subject to special tax and withholding rules. Your plan administrator or plan sponsor is required to provide you with a special tax notice explaining those rules at the time you request a distribution. If applicable, federal and/or state taxes may be withheld from your distribution amount.

Shareholder Fee Example |
Fund shareholders may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and redemption/exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service (12b-1) fees; and other fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in your fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing cost of investing in other mutual funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from November 1, 2016 to April 30, 2017.
Actual Expenses
The table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses for each class. You may use the information, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. First, identify the share class you own. Then simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The table also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual expense ratio of each class of your fund and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the actual return of a fund’s share class. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption/exchange fees. Therefore, the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

(1) | Expenses are equal to the class's annualized expense ratio listed in the table above, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181, the number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year, divided by 365, to reflect the one-half year period. |
(2) | Ending account value assumes the return earned after waiver and would have been lower if a portion of the fees had not been waived. |

Notes to Financial Statements |
APRIL 30, 2017 (UNAUDITED)
1. Organization
American Century Capital Portfolios, Inc. (the corporation) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company and is organized as a Maryland corporation. NT Global Real Estate Fund (the fund) is one fund in a series issued by the corporation. The fund’s investment objective is to seek high total investment return through a combination of capital appreciation and current income. The fund is not permitted to invest in securities issued by companies assigned the Global Industry Classification Standard for the tobacco industry. The fund offers the Investor Class, Institutional Class and R6 Class.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the fund in preparation of its financial statements. The fund is an investment company and follows accounting and reporting guidance in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. This may require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Management evaluated the impact of events or transactions occurring through the date the financial statements were issued that would merit recognition or disclosure.
Investment Valuations — The fund determines the fair value of its investments and computes its net asset value per share at the close of regular trading (usually 4 p.m. Eastern time) on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on each day the NYSE is open. The Board of Directors has adopted valuation policies and procedures to guide the investment advisor in the fund’s investment valuation process and to provide methodologies for the oversight of the fund’s pricing function.
Equity securities that are listed or traded on a domestic securities exchange are valued at the last reported sales price or at the official closing price as provided by the exchange. Equity securities traded on foreign securities exchanges are generally valued at the closing price of such securities on the exchange where primarily traded or at the close of the NYSE, if that is earlier. If no last sales price is reported, or if local convention or regulation so provides, the mean of the latest bid and asked prices may be used. Securities traded over-the-counter are valued at the mean of the latest bid and asked prices, the last sales price, or the official closing price. Equity securities initially expressed in local currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the mean of the appropriate currency exchange rate at the close of the NYSE as provided by an independent pricing service.
Open-end management investment companies are valued at the reported net asset value per share. Repurchase agreements are valued at cost, which approximates fair value.
If the fund determines that the market price for an investment is not readily available or the valuation methods mentioned above do not reflect an investment’s fair value, such investment is valued as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors or its delegate, in accordance with policies and procedures adopted by the Board of Directors. In its determination of fair value, the fund may review several factors including, but not limited to, market information regarding the specific investment or comparable investments and correlation with other investment types, futures indices or general market indicators. Circumstances that may cause the fund to use these procedures to value an investment include, but are not limited to: an investment has been declared in default or is distressed; trading in a security has been suspended during the trading day or a security is not actively trading on its principal exchange; prices received from a regular pricing source are deemed unreliable; or there is a foreign market holiday and no trading occurred.
The fund monitors for significant events occurring after the close of an investment’s primary exchange but before the fund’s net asset value per share is determined. Significant events may include, but are not limited to: corporate announcements and transactions; governmental action and political unrest that could impact a specific investment or an investment sector; or armed conflicts, natural disasters and similar events that could affect investments in a specific country or region. The fund also monitors for significant fluctuations between domestic and foreign markets, as evidenced by the U.S. market or such other indicators that the Board of
11
Directors, or its delegate, deems appropriate. If significant fluctuations in foreign markets are identified, the fund may apply a model-derived factor to the closing price of equity securities traded on foreign securities exchanges. The factor is based on observable market data as provided by an independent pricing service.
Security Transactions — Security transactions are accounted for as of the trade date. Net realized gains and losses are determined on the identified cost basis, which is also used for federal income tax purposes.
Investment Income — Dividend income less foreign taxes withheld, if any, is recorded as of the ex-dividend date. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or long-term capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. The fund may estimate the components of distributions received that may be considered nontaxable distributions or long-term capital gain distributions for income tax purposes. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis and includes accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums.
Foreign Currency Translations — All assets and liabilities initially expressed in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at prevailing exchange rates at period end. The fund may enter into spot foreign currency exchange contracts to facilitate transactions denominated in a foreign currency. Purchases and sales of investment securities, dividend and interest income, spot foreign currency exchange contracts, and expenses are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. Net realized and unrealized foreign currency exchange gains or losses related to investment securities are a component of net realized gain (loss) on investment transactions and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments, respectively.
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. 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. Accordingly, no provision has been made for income taxes. The fund files U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S. tax returns as applicable. The fund's tax returns are subject to examination by the relevant taxing authority until expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, which is generally three years from the date of filing but can be longer in certain jurisdictions. At this time, management believes there are no uncertain tax positions which, based on their technical merit, would not be sustained upon examination and for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.
Multiple Class — All shares of the fund represent an equal pro rata interest in the net assets of the class to which such shares belong, and have identical voting, dividend, liquidation and other rights and the same terms and conditions, except for class specific expenses and exclusive rights to vote on matters affecting only individual classes. Income, non-class specific expenses, and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses of the fund are allocated to each class of shares based on their relative net assets.
Distributions to Shareholders — Distributions from net investment income and net realized gains, if any, are generally declared and paid annually.
Indemnifications — Under the corporation’s organizational documents, its officers and directors are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the fund. In addition, in the normal course of business, the fund enters into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against a fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered by management to be remote.

3. Fees and Transactions with Related Parties
Certain officers and directors of the corporation are also officers and/or directors of American Century Companies, Inc. (ACC). The corporation’s investment advisor, ACIM, the corporation's distributor, American Century Investment Services, Inc., and the corporation’s transfer agent, American Century Services, LLC, are wholly owned, directly or indirectly, by ACC. Various funds issued by American Century Asset Allocation Portfolios, Inc. own, in aggregate, 100% of the shares of the fund. Related parties do not invest in the fund for the purpose of exercising management or control.
Management Fees —The corporation has entered into a management agreement with ACIM, under which ACIM provides the fund with investment advisory and management services in exchange for a single, unified management fee (the fee) per class. The agreement provides that all expenses of managing and operating the fund, except distribution and service fees, brokerage expenses, taxes, interest, fees and expenses of the independent directors (including legal counsel fees), and extraordinary expenses, will be paid by ACIM. The fee is computed and accrued daily based on each class's daily net assets and paid monthly in arrears. The difference in the fee among the classes is a result of their separate arrangements for shareholder services, which may be provided indirectly through another American Century Investments mutual fund. It is not the result of any difference in advisory or custodial fees or other expenses related to the management of the fund’s assets, which do not vary by class. During the period ended April 30, 2017, the investment advisor agreed to waive 0.08% of the fund's management fee. The investment advisor expects this waiver to continue until February 28, 2018 and cannot terminate it prior to such date without the approval of the Board of Directors.
The annual management fee and the effective annual management fee after waiver for each class for the period ended April 30, 2017 are as follows:
Class | Annual Management Fee | Effective Annual Management Fee After Waiver |
Investor Class | 1.20% | 1.12% |
Institutional Class | 1.00% | 0.92% |
R6 Class | 0.85% | 0.77% |
Directors' Fees and Expenses — The Board of Directors is responsible for overseeing the investment advisor’s management and operations of the fund. The directors receive detailed information about the fund and its investment advisor regularly throughout the year, and meet at least quarterly with management of the investment advisor to review reports about fund operations. The fund’s officers do not receive compensation from the fund.
Interfund Transactions — The fund may enter into security transactions with other American Century Investments funds and other client accounts of the investment advisor, in accordance with the 1940 Act rules and procedures adopted by the Board of Directors. The rules and procedures require, among other things, that these transactions be effected at the independent current market price of the security. During the period, the interfund purchases and sales were $583,511 and $2,086,956, respectively. The effect of interfund transactions on the Statement of Operations was $175,224 in net realized gain (loss) on investment transactions.
4. Investment Transactions
Purchases and sales of investment securities, excluding short-term investments, for the period ended April 30, 2017 were $508,524,765 and $489,920,189, respectively.

6. Fair Value Measurements
The fund’s investments valuation process is based on several considerations and may use multiple inputs to determine the fair value of the investments held by the fund. In conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the inputs used to determine a valuation are classified into three broad levels.
• | Level 1 valuation inputs consist of unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical investments. |
• | Level 2 valuation inputs consist of direct or indirect observable market data (including quoted prices for comparable investments, evaluations of subsequent market events, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.). These inputs also consist of quoted prices for identical investments initially expressed in local currencies that are adjusted through translation into U.S. dollars. |
• | Level 3 valuation inputs consist of unobservable data (including a fund’s own assumptions). |
The level classification is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair valuation measurement. The valuation inputs are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in these securities or other financial instruments. There were no significant transfers between levels during the period.
The following is a summary of the level classifications as of period end. The Schedule of Investments provides additional information on the fund’s portfolio holdings.

7. 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.
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. Investing in emerging markets may accentuate these risks.
The fund’s investment process may result in high portfolio turnover, which could mean high transaction costs, affecting both performance and capital gains tax liabilities to investors.
8. Federal Tax Information
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 period end, the components of investments for federal income tax purposes were as follows:
Federal tax cost of investments | $ | 395,603,403 | |
Gross tax appreciation of investments | $ | 18,528,732 | |
Gross tax depreciation of investments | (7,737,358 | ) | |
Net tax appreciation (depreciation) of investments | $ | 10,791,374 |
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is attributable primarily to the realization to ordinary income for tax purposes of unrealized gains on investments in passive foreign investment companies.
As of October 31, 2016, the fund had accumulated short-term capital losses of $(32,610,303), which represent net capital loss carryovers that may be used to offset future realized capital gains for federal income tax purposes. The capital loss carryovers may be carried forward for an unlimited period. Future capital loss carryover utilization in any given year may be subject to Internal Revenue Code limitations.

In October 2016, the Securities and Exchange Commission adopted new rules and forms as well as amendments to its rules and forms to modernize the reporting and disclosure of information by registered investment companies. The amendments to Regulation S-X will require standardized, enhanced disclosure about derivatives in investment company financial statements, as well as other provisions. Compliance with the amendments is effective on August 1, 2017. Management is currently evaluating the impact that adopting the amendments will have on the financial statement disclosures.

Additional Information |
Retirement Account Information
As required by law, distributions you receive from certain IRAs 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. For systematic withdrawals, your withholding election will remain in effect until revoked or changed by filing a new election. You have the right to revoke your election at any time.
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 (or as otherwise required by state law). State taxes will be withheld from your distribution in accordance with the respective state rules.
Distributions you receive from 403(b), 457 and qualified plans are subject to special tax and withholding rules. Your plan administrator or plan sponsor is required to provide you with a special tax notice explaining those rules at the time you request a distribution. If applicable, federal and/or state taxes may be withheld from your distribution amount.

Dear Investor:
Thank you for reviewing this semiannual report for the period ended April 30, 2017. It provides a market overview (below), followed by a schedule of fund investments and other financial information. For additional commentary and information on fund performance, plus other investment insights, we encourage you to visit our website, americancentury.com.
“Trump Trade” Triggered Surges in U.S. Stock Prices and Treasury Yields
Especially in the U.S., the signature events of the six-month period were Donald Trump’s victory in the U.S. presidential election in November and the resulting “Trump Trade.” President Trump’s aggressive pro-growth fiscal policy agenda triggered risk-on rallies in higher-risk assets such as stocks and high-yield corporate bonds that produced double-digit gains for many broad U.S. and global/non-U.S. equity indices. For example, the S&P 500 Index and the MSCI EAFE Index gained 13.32% and 11.47%, respectively. In the U.S., growth and small-cap equity indices generally outperformed their value and large-cap counterparts.
The Trump Trade and improving global economic conditions also drove government bond yields higher, and boosted the value of the U.S. dollar against other currencies. This caused most bond indices to decline during the period, except those representing emerging market and corporate debt, which benefited from investors’ continuing search for more yield than what’s available in government bonds. Also, higher-yielding and corporate bonds are perceived as less price change-sensitive to rising interest rates.
Yields rose for short- and long-maturity U.S. Treasuries as the Federal Reserve raised its interest rate target twice during the reporting period, and suggested that it might raise rates again and start gradually reducing its balance sheet by the end of 2017. These factors, plus rising inflation, could trigger more bouts of U.S. bond market volatility. Meanwhile, the Trump Trade could prove to be double-edged—its momentum faded as health care and tax reform enactment faced delays. This, along with ongoing questions about the Trump administration’s practices, policies, and alliances, could impede further risk-on sentiment. In this unsettled environment, we believe in remaining focused on investment goals, using disciplined, actively managed, risk-aware strategies. We appreciate your continued trust in us.
Sincerely,
![image48a01.jpg](https://capedge.com/proxy/N-CSRS/0000908186-17-000157/image48a01.jpg)

Shareholder Fee Example |
Fund shareholders may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and redemption/exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service (12b-1) fees; and other fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in your fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing cost of investing in other mutual funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from November 1, 2016 to April 30, 2017 (except as noted).
Actual Expenses
The table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses for each class. You may use the information, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. First, identify the share class you own. Then simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
If you hold Investor Class shares of any American Century Investments fund, or I 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. 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.

Notes to Financial Statements |
APRIL 30, 2017 (UNAUDITED)
1. Organization
American Century Capital Portfolios, Inc. (the corporation) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company and is organized as a Maryland corporation. Real Estate Fund (the fund) is one fund in a series issued by the corporation. The fund’s investment objective is to seek high total investment return through a combination of capital appreciation and current income.
The fund offers the Investor Class, I Class (formerly Institutional Class), Y Class, A Class, C Class, R Class, R5 Class and R6 Class. The A Class may incur an initial sales charge. The A Class and C Class may be
subject to a contingent deferred sales charge. Sale of the Y Class and R5 Class commenced on April 10, 2017.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the fund in preparation of its financial statements. The fund is an investment company and follows accounting and reporting guidance in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. This may require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Management evaluated the impact of events or transactions occurring through the date the financial statements were issued that would merit recognition or disclosure.
Investment Valuations — The fund determines the fair value of its investments and computes its net asset value per share at the close of regular trading (usually 4 p.m. Eastern time) on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on each day the NYSE is open. The Board of Directors has adopted valuation policies and procedures to guide the investment advisor in the fund’s investment valuation process and to provide methodologies for the oversight of the fund’s pricing function.
Equity securities that are listed or traded on a domestic securities exchange are valued at the last reported sales price or at the official closing price as provided by the exchange. Equity securities traded on foreign securities exchanges are generally valued at the closing price of such securities on the exchange where primarily traded or at the close of the NYSE, if that is earlier. If no last sales price is reported, or if local convention or regulation so provides, the mean of the latest bid and asked prices may be used. Securities traded over-the-counter are valued at the mean of the latest bid and asked prices, the last sales price, or the official closing price.
Open-end management investment companies are valued at the reported net asset value per share. Repurchase agreements are valued at cost, which approximates fair value.
If the fund determines that the market price for an investment is not readily available or the valuation methods mentioned above do not reflect an investment’s fair value, such investment is valued as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors or its delegate, in accordance with policies and procedures adopted by the Board of Directors. In its determination of fair value, the fund may review several factors including, but not limited to, market information regarding the specific investment or comparable investments and correlation with other investment types, futures indices or general market indicators. Circumstances that may cause the fund to use these procedures to value an investment include, but are not limited to: an investment has been declared in default or is distressed; trading in a security has been suspended during the trading day or a security is not actively trading on its principal exchange; prices received from a regular pricing source are deemed unreliable; or there is a foreign market holiday and no trading occurred.
The fund monitors for significant events occurring after the close of an investment’s primary exchange but before the fund’s net asset value per share is determined. Significant events may include, but are not limited to: corporate announcements and transactions; governmental action and political unrest that could impact a specific investment or an investment sector; or armed conflicts, natural disasters and similar events that could affect investments in a specific country or region. The fund also monitors for significant fluctuations between domestic and foreign markets, as evidenced by the U.S. market or such other indicators that the Board of Directors, or its delegate, deems appropriate. If significant fluctuations in foreign markets are identified, the fund may apply a model-derived factor to the closing price of equity securities traded on foreign securities
11
exchanges. The factor is based on observable market data as provided by an independent pricing service.
Security Transactions — Security transactions are accounted for as of the trade date. Net realized gains and losses are determined on the identified cost basis, which is also used for federal income tax purposes.
Investment Income — Dividend income less foreign taxes withheld, if any, is recorded as of the ex-dividend date. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or long-term capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. The fund may estimate the components of distributions received that may be considered nontaxable distributions or long-term capital gain distributions for income tax purposes. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis and includes accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums.
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. 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. Accordingly, no provision has been made for income taxes. The fund files U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S. tax returns as applicable. The fund's tax returns are subject to examination by the relevant taxing authority until expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, which is generally three years from the date of filing but can be longer in certain jurisdictions. At this time, management believes there are no uncertain tax positions which, based on their technical merit, would not be sustained upon examination and for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.
Multiple Class — All shares of the fund represent an equal pro rata interest in the net assets of the class to which such shares belong, and have identical voting, dividend, liquidation and other rights and the same terms and conditions, except for class specific expenses and exclusive rights to vote on matters affecting only individual classes. Income, non-class specific expenses, and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses of the fund are allocated to each class of shares based on their relative net assets.
Distributions to Shareholders — Distributions from net investment income, if any, are generally declared and paid quarterly. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are generally declared and paid annually. The fund may elect to treat a portion of its payment to a redeeming shareholder, which represents the pro rata share of undistributed net investment income and net realized gains, as a distribution for federal income tax purposes (tax equalization).
Indemnifications — Under the corporation’s organizational documents, its officers and directors are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the fund. In addition, in the normal course of business, the fund enters into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against a fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered by management to be remote.
3. Fees and Transactions with Related Parties
Certain officers and directors of the corporation are also officers and/or directors of American Century Companies, Inc. (ACC). The corporation’s investment advisor, ACIM, the corporation's distributor, American Century Investment Services, Inc. (ACIS), and the corporation’s transfer agent, American Century Services, LLC, are wholly owned, directly or indirectly, by ACC.
12
Management Fees — The corporation has entered into a management agreement with ACIM, under which ACIM provides the fund with investment advisory and management services in exchange for a single, unified management fee (the fee) per class. The agreement provides that all expenses of managing and operating the fund, except distribution and service fees, brokerage expenses, taxes, interest, fees and expenses of the independent directors (including legal counsel fees), and extraordinary expenses, will be paid by ACIM. The fee is computed and accrued daily based on each class's daily net assets and paid monthly in arrears. The difference in the fee among the classes is a result of their separate arrangements for shareholder services. It is not the result of any difference in advisory or custodial fees or other expenses related to the management of the fund’s assets, which do not vary by class. 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 use very similar investment teams and strategies (strategy assets).
The management fee schedule range and the effective annual management fee for each class for the period ended April 30, 2017 are as follows:
Class | Management Fee Schedule Range | Effective Annual Management Fee |
Investor Class | 1.00% to 1.20% | 1.14% |
I Class | 0.80% to 1.00% | 0.94% |
Y Class | 0.65% to 0.85% | 0.79% |
A Class | 1.00% to 1.20% | 1.14% |
C Class | 1.00% to 1.20% | 1.14% |
R Class | 1.00% to 1.20% | 1.14% |
R5 Class | 0.80% to 1.00% | 0.94% |
R6 Class | 0.65% to 0.85% | 0.79% |
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, 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 ACIS an annual distribution and service fee of 0.25%. The plans provide that the C Class will pay ACIS an annual distribution and service fee of 1.00%, of which 0.25% is paid for individual shareholder services and 0.75% is paid for distribution services. 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 period ended April 30, 2017 are detailed in the Statement of Operations.
Directors' Fees and Expenses — The Board of Directors is responsible for overseeing the investment advisor’s management and operations of the fund. The directors receive detailed information about the fund and its investment advisor regularly throughout the year, and meet at least quarterly with management of the investment advisor to review reports about fund operations. The fund’s officers do not receive compensation from the fund.
Interfund Transactions — The fund may enter into security transactions with other American Century Investments funds and other client accounts of the investment advisor, in accordance with the 1940 Act rules and procedures adopted by the Board of Directors. The rules and procedures require, among other things, that these transactions be effected at the independent current market price of the security. During the period, the interfund purchases and sales were $6,348,326 and $6,322,775, respectively. The effect of interfund transactions on the Statement of Operations was $(463,350) in net realized gain (loss) on investment transactions.
4. Investment Transactions
Purchases and sales of investment securities, excluding short-term investments, for the period ended April 30, 2017 were $1,152,142,430 and $1,295,581,210, respectively.

6. Fair Value Measurements
The fund’s investments valuation process is based on several considerations and may use multiple inputs to determine the fair value of the investments held by the fund. In conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the inputs used to determine a valuation are classified into three broad levels.
• | Level 1 valuation inputs consist of unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical investments. |
• | Level 2 valuation inputs consist of direct or indirect observable market data (including quoted prices for |
14
comparable investments, evaluations of subsequent market events, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.). These inputs also consist of quoted prices for identical investments initially expressed in local currencies that are adjusted through translation into U.S. dollars.
• | Level 3 valuation inputs consist of unobservable data (including a fund’s own assumptions). |
The level classification is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair valuation measurement. The valuation inputs are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in these securities or other financial instruments. There were no significant transfers between levels during the period.
The following is a summary of the level classifications as of period end. The Schedule of Investments provides additional information on the fund’s portfolio holdings.
Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | ||||||

$ | 1,278,339,346 | $ | 8,889,814 | — |
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.
The fund’s investment process may result in high portfolio turnover, which could mean high transaction costs, affecting both performance and capital gains tax liabilities to investors.
8. Federal Tax Information
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 period end, the components of investments for federal income tax purposes were as follows:
Federal tax cost of investments | $ | 1,118,737,793 | |
Gross tax appreciation of investments | $ | 180,173,117 | |
Gross tax depreciation of investments | (11,681,750 | ) | |
Net tax appreciation (depreciation) of investments | $ | 168,491,367 |
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales.
9. Recently Issued Accounting Guidance
In October 2016, the Securities and Exchange Commission adopted new rules and forms as well as amendments to its rules and forms to modernize the reporting and disclosure of information by registered investment companies. The amendments to Regulation S-X will require standardized, enhanced disclosure about derivatives in investment company financial statements, as well as other provisions. Compliance with the amendments is effective on August 1, 2017. Management is currently evaluating the impact that adopting the amendments will have on the financial statement disclosures.

Additional Information |
Retirement Account Information
As required by law, distributions you receive from certain IRAs 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. For systematic withdrawals, your withholding election will remain in effect until revoked or changed by filing a new election. You have the right to revoke your election at any time.
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 (or as otherwise required by state law). State taxes will be withheld from your distribution in accordance with the respective state rules.
Distributions you receive from 403(b), 457 and qualified plans are subject to special tax and withholding rules. Your plan administrator or plan sponsor is required to provide you with a special tax notice explaining those rules at the time you request a distribution. If applicable, federal and/or state taxes may be withheld from your distribution amount.
