Dear Investor:
Thank you for reviewing our semiannual report for the six months ended April 30, 2013. This report offers a macroeconomic and financial market overview of the period (below), followed by fund performance, a schedule of fund investments, and other financial information.
For additional, updated information on fund performance, key factors that affected asset returns, and other insights regarding the investment markets, we encourage you to visit our website, americancentury.com. Also, the next annual report will provide additional perspective from our portfolio management team.
“Risk-On” Rally since November Elections, Further Aggressive Monetary Intervention
During the six-month period ended April 30, 2013, the U.S. capital markets benefited from improved investor confidence after uncertainties relating to the 2012 U.S. presidential election and year-end federal fiscal policy deadlines were largely resolved. In addition, continued aggressive monetary intervention by major central banks—particularly the U.S. Federal Reserve (the Fed), the European Central Bank, and the Bank of Japan—encouraged investors to take more risk and reach for yield, boosting the performance of stocks and high-yield bonds over government bonds. These aggressive monetary policies included a third round of bond buying (quantitative easing, QE3) by the Fed and extensions of other easing measures.
In this environment, U.S. mid-cap and value stocks and non-U.S. stocks achieved performance leadership for the reporting period. U.S. mid-cap and value stock indices and the MSCI EAFE Index all outpaced the S&P 500 Index’s 14.42% return. High-yield corporate bond indices led the U.S. bond market. Treasury securities and benchmarks lagged. For example, the 10-year U.S. Treasury note returned 1.52%, according to Barclays, as its yield declined slightly, from 1.69% to 1.67%, suppressed by low inflation and QE3.
Under the influence of monetary intervention, the U.S. and global economies are showing signs of improvement this year, but we still expect the U.S. recovery to be subpar, hampered by high unemployment and lingering fiscal and overseas concerns. Under these conditions, we continue to believe in a disciplined, diversified, long-term investment approach, using professionally managed stock and bond portfolios for meeting financial goals. We appreciate your continued trust in us in this challenging environment.
Sincerely,
Jonathan Thomas
President and Chief Executive Officer

Dear Fellow Shareholders,
In 2012, identity theft impacted 12.6 million Americans and roughly 16.5% or 2.1 million of those attacks took place in retirement or investment accounts. At a recent meeting, the board discussed the programs in place at American Century Investments to help protect shareholder accounts from identity theft and similar threats. As a part of that effort, American Century Investments’ personnel investigate possible identity theft events on an almost daily basis. In order to protect financial accounts from theft, there are several steps that every investor should take.
If you travel, take steps to ensure your mail is secure. Request a vacation hold or ask a trusted relative or friend to collect mail for you. If you are expecting financial paperwork, be mindful of when it is to arrive or have it delivered to a place other than your home. Consider using a post office box as a secure alternative.
When discarding documents, be sure to shred or otherwise destroy any receipts, credit offers, bank statements, insurance forms, or similar documents containing personal or financial information.
Be creative with electronic passwords and keep them private. For example, think of a phrase and use the first letter of each word as your password or substitute numbers for similarly appearing letters (4 for A, 8 for G, etc.).
Finally, be alert to impersonators. Do not give personal information over the phone unless you initiated the contact. If you receive an email asking you for information regarding an account, do not respond to the email or click any links. Rather, contact the company through their official website or call the customer service number listed on your account statement.
These few precautions could prevent a major identity theft problem. If you would like to know more about protecting your American Century Investments accounts, please visit our website at www.americancentury.com/security/protect_yourself_online.jsp.
If you have any thoughts you would like to share with the board, send them to dhpratt@fundboardchair.com. Thank you for your loyalty as an American Century Investments shareholder.
Best regards,
Don Pratt

The total annual fund operating expenses shown is as stated in the fund’s prospectus current as of the date of this report. The prospectus may vary from the expense ratio shown elsewhere in this report because it is based on a different time period, includes acquired fund fees and expenses, and, if applicable, does not include fee waivers or expense reimbursements.
Data presented reflect past performance. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance shown. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate, and redemption value may be more or less than original cost. To obtain performance data current to the most recent month end, please call 1-800-345-2021 or visit americancentury.com. The fund may be subject to certain risks similar to those associated with direct investment in real estate. International investing involves special risks, such as political instability and currency fluctuations. 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.
Unless otherwise indicated, performance reflects Investor Class shares; performance for other share classes will vary due to differences in fee structure. For information about other share classes available, please consult the prospectus. Data assumes reinvestment of dividends and capital gains, and none of the charts reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. Returns for the indices are provided for comparison. The fund’s total returns include operating expenses (such as transaction costs and management fees) that reduce returns, while the total returns of the indices do not.

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, 2012 to April 30, 2013.
Actual Expenses
The table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses for each class. You may use the information, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. First, identify the share class you own. Then simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
If you hold Investor Class shares of any American Century Investments fund, or Institutional Class shares of the American Century Diversified Bond Fund, in an American Century Investments account (i.e., not a financial intermediary or retirement plan account), American Century Investments may charge you a $12.50 semiannual account maintenance fee if the value of those shares is less than $10,000. We will redeem shares automatically in one of your accounts to pay the $12.50 fee. In determining your total eligible investment amount, we will include your investments in all personal accounts (including American Century Investments Brokerage accounts) registered under your Social Security number. Personal accounts include individual accounts, joint accounts, UGMA/UTMA accounts, personal trusts, Coverdell Education Savings Accounts and IRAs (including traditional, Roth, Rollover, SEP-, SARSEP- and SIMPLE-IRAs), and certain other retirement accounts. If you have only business, business retirement, employer-sponsored or American Century Investments Brokerage accounts, you are currently not subject to this fee. 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. |

APRIL 30, 2013 (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 is nondiversified as defined under the 1940 Act. The fund’s investment objective is to seek high total investment return through a combination of capital appreciation and current income.
The fund offers the Investor Class, the Institutional Class, the A Class, the C Class and the R 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. The share classes differ principally in their respective sales charges and distribution and shareholder servicing expenses and arrangements. The Institutional Class is made available to institutional shareholders or through financial intermediaries whose clients do not require the same level of shareholder and administrative services as shareholders of other classes. As a result, the Institutional Class is charged a lower unified management fee. All classes of the fund commenced sale on April 29, 2011, the fund’s inception date.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the fund in preparation of its financial statements. The financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which may require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Investment Valuations — The fund determines the fair value of its investments and computes its net asset value per share as of 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.
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 typically valued at the closing price on the exchange where primarily traded or as of 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 is used. Depending on local convention or regulation, securities traded over-the-counter are valued at the mean of the latest bid and asked prices, the last sales price, or the official closing price. In its determination of fair value, the fund may review several factors including: market information specific to a security; news developments in U.S. and foreign markets; the performance of particular U.S. and foreign securities, indices, comparable securities, American Depositary Receipts, Exchange-Traded Funds, and other relevant market indicators.
Debt securities maturing within 60 days at the time of purchase may be valued at cost, plus or minus any amortized discount or premium or at the evaluated mean as provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated mean prices are commonly derived through utilization of market models, which may consider, among other factors, trade data, quotations from dealers and active market makers, relevant yield curve and spread data, related sector levels, creditworthiness, and other relevant market information on the same or comparable securities.
Investments in open-end management investment companies are valued at the reported net asset value per share. The value of investments initially expressed in foreign currencies is translated into U.S. dollars at prevailing exchange rates.
If the fund determines that the market price for a portfolio security is not readily available or the valuation methods mentioned above do not reflect a security’s fair value, such security is valued as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors or its designee, in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Directors. Circumstances that may cause the fund to use these procedures to value a security include, but are not limited to: a security has been declared in default; trading in a security has been halted during the trading day; there is a foreign market holiday and no trading occurred; or an event occurred between the close of a foreign exchange and the NYSE that may affect the value of a security.
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. Certain countries impose taxes on realized gains on the sale of securities registered in their country. The fund records the foreign tax expense, if any, on an accrual basis. The foreign tax expense on realized gains and unrealized appreciation reduces the net realized gain (loss) on investment transactions and net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments, respectively.
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.
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
Management Fees — The corporation has entered into a management agreement with American Century Investment Management, Inc. (ACIM) (the investment advisor), 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 annual management fee is 1.20% for the Investor Class, A Class, C Class and R Class and 1.00% for the Institutional Class.
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 American Century Investment Services, Inc. (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 six months ended April 30, 2013 are detailed in the Statement of Operations.
Related Parties — Certain officers and directors of the corporation are also officers and/or directors of American Century Companies, Inc. (ACC). The corporation’s investment advisor, ACIM, the corporation’s distributor, ACIS, and the corporation’s transfer agent, American Century Services, LLC are wholly owned, directly or indirectly, by ACC. Various funds issued by American Century Strategic Asset Allocations, Inc. own, in aggregate, 13% of the shares of the fund.
4. Investment Transactions
Purchases and sales of investment securities, excluding short-term investments, for the six months ended April 30, 2013 were $141,571,778 and $115,206,478, respectively.

6. Fair Value Measurements
The fund’s securities valuation process is based on several considerations and may use multiple inputs to determine the fair value of the positions held by the fund. In conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the inputs used to determine a valuation are classified into three broad levels as follows:
• | Level 1 valuation inputs consist of unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical securities; |
• | Level 2 valuation inputs consist of direct or indirect observable market data (including quoted prices for similar securities, evaluations of subsequent market events, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.); or |
• | Level 3 valuation inputs consist of unobservable data (including a fund’s own assumptions). |
The level classification is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair valuation measurement. The valuation inputs are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in these securities or other financial instruments.
The following is a summary of the level classifications as of period end. The Schedule of Investments provides additional information on the fund’s portfolio holdings.

Temporary Cash Investments | 522 | 717,000 | — | ||||||
Total Value of Investment Securities | $30,295,618 | $32,391,807 | — |
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 April 30, 2013, the components of investments for federal income tax purposes were as follows:
Federal tax cost of investments | $56,596,328 | ||
Gross tax appreciation of investments | $6,138,436 | ||
Gross tax depreciation of investments | (47,339 | ) | |
Net tax appreciation (depreciation) of investments | $6,091,097 |
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is attributable primarily to the realization for tax purposes of unrealized gains on investments in passive foreign investment companies.

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.

Dear Investor:
Thank you for reviewing our semiannual report for the six months ended April 30, 2013. This report offers a macroeconomic and financial market overview of the period (below), followed by fund performance, a schedule of fund investments, and other financial information.
For additional, updated information on fund performance, key factors that affected asset returns, and other insights regarding the investment markets, we encourage you to visit our website, americancentury.com. Also, the next annual report will provide additional perspective from our portfolio management team.
“Risk-On” Rally since November Elections, Further Aggressive Monetary Intervention
During the six-month period ended April 30, 2013, the U.S. capital markets benefited from improved investor confidence after uncertainties relating to the 2012 U.S. presidential election and year-end federal fiscal policy deadlines were largely resolved. In addition, continued aggressive monetary intervention by major central banks—particularly the U.S. Federal Reserve (the Fed), the European Central Bank, and the Bank of Japan—encouraged investors to take more risk and reach for yield, boosting the performance of stocks and high-yield bonds over government bonds. These aggressive monetary policies included a third round of bond buying (quantitative easing, QE3) by the Fed and extensions of other easing measures.
In this environment, U.S. mid-cap and value stocks and non-U.S. stocks achieved performance leadership for the reporting period. U.S. mid-cap and value stock indices and the MSCI EAFE Index all outpaced the S&P 500 Index’s 14.42% return. High-yield corporate bond indices led the U.S. bond market. Treasury securities and benchmarks lagged. For example, the 10-year U.S. Treasury note returned 1.52%, according to Barclays, as its yield declined slightly, from 1.69% to 1.67%, suppressed by low inflation and QE3.
Under the influence of monetary intervention, the U.S. and global economies are showing signs of improvement this year, but we still expect the U.S. recovery to be subpar, hampered by high unemployment and lingering fiscal and overseas concerns. Under these conditions, we continue to believe in a disciplined, diversified, long-term investment approach, using professionally managed stock and bond portfolios for meeting financial goals. We appreciate your continued trust in us in this challenging environment.
Sincerely,
Jonathan Thomas
President and Chief Executive Officer

Independent Chairman's Letter |

Dear Fellow Shareholders,
In 2012, identity theft impacted 12.6 million Americans and roughly 16.5% or 2.1 million of those attacks took place in retirement or investment accounts. At a recent meeting, the board discussed the programs in place at American Century Investments to help protect shareholder accounts from identity theft and similar threats. As a part of that effort, American Century Investments’ personnel investigate possible identity theft events on an almost daily basis. In order to protect financial accounts from theft, there are several steps that every investor should take.
If you travel, take steps to ensure your mail is secure. Request a vacation hold or ask a trusted relative or friend to collect mail for you. If you are expecting financial paperwork, be mindful of when it is to arrive or have it delivered to a place other than your home. Consider using a post office box as a secure alternative.
When discarding documents, be sure to shred or otherwise destroy any receipts, credit offers, bank statements, insurance forms, or similar documents containing personal or financial information.
Be creative with electronic passwords and keep them private. For example, think of a phrase and use the first letter of each word as your password or substitute numbers for similarly appearing letters (4 for A, 8 for G, etc.).
Finally, be alert to impersonators. Do not give personal information over the phone unless you initiated the contact. If you receive an email asking you for information regarding an account, do not respond to the email or click any links. Rather, contact the company through their official website or call the customer service number listed on your account statement.
These few precautions could prevent a major identity theft problem. If you would like to know more about protecting your American Century Investments accounts, please visit our website at www.americancentury.com/security/protect_yourself_online.jsp.
If you have any thoughts you would like to share with the board, send them to dhpratt@fundboardchair.com. Thank you for your loyalty as an American Century Investments shareholder.
Best regards,
Don Pratt

The total annual fund operating expenses shown is as stated in the fund’s prospectus current as of the date of this report. The prospectus may vary from the expense ratio shown elsewhere in this report because it is based on a different time period, includes acquired fund fees and expenses, and, if applicable, does not include fee waivers or expense reimbursements.
Data presented reflect past performance. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance shown. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate, and redemption value may be more or less than original cost. To obtain performance data current to the most recent month end, please call 1-800-345-2021 or visit americancentury.com. The fund may be subject to certain risks similar to those associated with direct investment in real estate. 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.
Unless otherwise indicated, performance reflects Investor Class shares; performance for other share classes will vary due to differences in fee structure. For information about other share classes available, please consult the prospectus. Data assumes reinvestment of dividends and capital gains, and none of the charts reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. Returns for the indices are provided for comparison. The fund’s total returns include operating expenses (such as transaction costs and management fees) that reduce returns, while the total returns of the indices do not.

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, 2012 to April 30, 2013.
Actual Expenses
The table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses for each class. You may use the information, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. First, identify the share class you own. Then simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
If you hold Investor Class shares of any American Century Investments fund, or Institutional Class shares of the American Century Diversified Bond Fund, in an American Century Investments account (i.e., not a financial intermediary or retirement plan account), American Century Investments may charge you a $12.50 semiannual account maintenance fee if the value of those shares is less than $10,000. We will redeem shares automatically in one of your accounts to pay the $12.50 fee. In determining your total eligible investment amount, we will include your investments in all personal accounts (including American Century Investments Brokerage accounts) registered under your Social Security number. Personal accounts include individual accounts, joint accounts, UGMA/UTMA accounts, personal trusts, Coverdell Education Savings Accounts and IRAs (including traditional, Roth, Rollover, SEP-, SARSEP- and SIMPLE-IRAs), and certain other retirement accounts. If you have only business, business retirement, employer-sponsored or American Century Investments Brokerage accounts, you are currently not subject to this fee. 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.

R Class | $1,000 | $1,016.66 | $8.20 | 1.64% |
(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. |

APRIL 30, 2013 (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 is nondiversified as defined under the 1940 Act. The fund’s investment objective is to seek high total investment return through a combination of capital appreciation and current income.
The fund offers the Investor Class, the Institutional Class, the A Class, the C Class and the R 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. The share classes differ principally in their respective sales charges and distribution and shareholder servicing expenses and arrangements. The Institutional Class is made available to institutional shareholders or through financial intermediaries whose clients do not require the same level of shareholder and administrative services as shareholders of other classes. As a result, the Institutional Class is charged a lower unified management fee. On October 21, 2011, all outstanding B Class shares were converted to A Class shares and the fund discontinued offering the B 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 financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which may require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Investment Valuations — The fund determines the fair value of its investments and computes its net asset value per share as of 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.
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 typically valued at the closing price on the exchange where primarily traded or as of 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 is used. Depending on local convention or regulation, securities traded over-the-counter are valued at the mean of the latest bid and asked prices, the last sales price, or the official closing price. In its determination of fair value, the fund may review several factors including: market information specific to a security; news developments in U.S. and foreign markets; the performance of particular U.S. and foreign securities, indices, comparable securities, American Depositary Receipts, Exchange-Traded Funds, and other relevant market indicators.
Debt securities maturing within 60 days at the time of purchase may be valued at cost, plus or minus any amortized discount or premium or at the evaluated mean as provided by an independent pricing service. Evaluated mean prices are commonly derived through utilization of market models, which may consider, among other factors, trade data, quotations from dealers and active market makers, relevant yield curve and spread data, related sector levels, creditworthiness, and other relevant market information on the same or comparable securities.
Investments in open-end management investment companies are valued at the reported net asset value per share. Repurchase agreements are valued at cost.
If the fund determines that the market price for a portfolio security is not readily available or the valuation methods mentioned above do not reflect a security’s fair value, such security is valued as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors or its designee, in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Directors. Circumstances that may cause the fund to use these procedures to value a security include, but are not limited to: a security has been declared in default; trading in a security has been halted during the trading day; there is a foreign market holiday and no trading occurred; or an event occurred between the close of a foreign exchange and the NYSE that may affect the value of a security.
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.
Indemnifications — Under the corporation’s organizational documents, its officers and directors are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the fund. In addition, in the normal course of business, the fund enters into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against a fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered by management to be remote.
3. Fees and Transactions with Related Parties
Management Fees — The corporation has entered into a management agreement with ACIM, under which ACIM provides the fund with investment advisory and management services in exchange for a single, unified management fee (the fee) per class. The agreement provides that all expenses of managing and operating the fund, except distribution 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 rate of the fee is determined by applying a fee rate calculation formula. This formula takes into account the fund’s assets as well as certain assets, if any, of other clients of the investment advisor outside the American Century Investments family of funds (such as subadvised funds and separate accounts) that have very similar investment teams and investment strategies (strategy assets). The annual management fee schedule ranges from 1.05% to 1.20% for the Investor Class, A Class, C Class and R Class. The Institutional Class is 0.20% less at each point within the range. The effective annual management fee for each class for the six months ended April 30, 2013 was 1.14% for the Investor Class, A Class, C Class and R Class and 0.94% for the Institutional Class.
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 American Century Investment Services, Inc. (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 six months ended April 30, 2013 are detailed in the Statement of Operations.
Related Parties — Certain officers and directors of the corporation are also officers and/or directors of American Century Companies, Inc. (ACC). The corporation’s investment advisor, ACIM, the corporation’s distributor, ACIS, and the corporation’s transfer agent, American Century Services, LLC are wholly owned, directly or indirectly, by ACC. Various funds issued by American Century Asset Allocation Portfolios, Inc. own, in aggregate, 13% of the shares of the fund.
4. Investment Transactions
Purchases and sales of investment securities, excluding short-term investments, for the six months ended April 30, 2013 were $1,446,739,384 and $1,293,101,552, respectively.
For the six months ended April 30, 2013, the fund incurred net realized gains of $9,374,622 from redemptions in kind. A redemption in kind occurs when a fund delivers securities from its portfolio in lieu of cash as payment to a redeeming shareholder.

(1) | The fund’s fiscal year end was changed from March 31 to October 31, resulting in a seven-month annual reporting period. |
6. Fair Value Measurements
The fund’s securities valuation process is based on several considerations and may use multiple inputs to determine the fair value of the positions held by the fund. In conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the inputs used to determine a valuation are classified into three broad levels as follows:
• | Level 1 valuation inputs consist of unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical securities; |
• | Level 2 valuation inputs consist of direct or indirect observable market data (including quoted prices for similar securities, evaluations of subsequent market events, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.); or |
• | Level 3 valuation inputs consist of unobservable data (including a fund’s own assumptions). |
The level classification is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair valuation measurement. The valuation inputs are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in these securities or other financial instruments.
The following is a summary of the level classifications as of period end. The Schedule of Investments provides additional information on the fund’s portfolio holdings

Total Value of Investment Securities | $1,589,585,721 | $10,599,494 | — |
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 April 30, 2013, the components of investments for federal income tax purposes were as follows:
Federal tax cost of investments | $1,175,880,940 |
Gross tax appreciation of investments | $424,304,275 |
Gross tax depreciation of investments | — |
Net tax appreciation (depreciation) of investments | $424,304,275 |
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, 2012, the fund had accumulated short-term capital losses of $(415,032,794), which represent net capital loss carryovers that may be used to offset future realized capital gains for federal income tax purposes. Future capital loss carryover utilization in any given year may be subject to Internal Revenue Code limitations. Capital loss carryovers expire in 2017.

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.
