Independent Chairman’s Letter |

Fellow Shareholders,
The principal event at a recent board meeting was the retirement of Jim Stowers, Jr. from the American Century Mutual Funds Kansas City board. This was one of those times when you felt like you were living a historical moment. Jim founded what was known as Twentieth Century Mutual Funds over 50 years ago. Through the years, his number one priority has been to “Put Investors First!” The board presented Jim with a resolution acknowledging that, by building a successful investment company, he has impacted the lives of many by helping them on the path to financial success.
We respect Jim’s decision to focus his energy on the Stowers Institute for Medical Research and American Century Companies, Inc. (ACC), the parent company of the funds’ investment advisors. The pioneering medical research that Jim and his wife Virginia have made possible through the Institute should enrich the lives of millions in the future.
Shortly after his retirement from the board, we received word that Jim—who celebrated his 86th birthday in January—was hospitalized after experiencing a fall during his regular exercise regimen. While Jim has made steady progress toward recovery, this potentially serious incident resulted in the activation of his long-standing estate and business succession plan. Under the terms of the plan, ACC’s co-chairman Richard W. Brown succeeded Jim as trustee of a trust that holds a significant interest in ACC stock. While less than a majority interest, the trust is presumed to control the funds’ investment advisors under the Investment Company Act of 1940. This change triggered the need for a shareholder proxy to approve new management and subadvisory agreements for the funds. If you have not already responded, I encourage you to take the time to read the proxy materials and send your vote as soon as p ossible.
On behalf of the board, I want to once again thank Jim for his mutual fund board service and wish him a speedy recovery. More than three years ago, Jim and Richard Brown installed a strong and effective leadership team at American Century Investments and I look forward to continuing to work with them on behalf of fund shareholders. And while Jim no longer sits on the fund board, the inherent optimism captured by his favorite catch phrase—“The best is yet to be”—still resonates with all of us who have the privilege of serving you. I invite you to send your comments, questions or concerns to me at dhpratt@fundboardchair.com.

By Phil Davidson, Chief Investment Officer, U.S. Value Equity
Stocks Enjoyed Bountiful Recovery
The U.S. stock market gained approximately 50% for the year ended March 31, 2010—one of its best 12-month returns in the last three decades. The key factor behind the remarkable rally in stocks was increasing confidence in a potential economic recovery.
The period began as the U.S. economy was beginning to emerge from its worst downturn since the Great Depression. Signs of economic improvement—including a pickup in industrial production, rising retail sales, and signals that the housing sector was starting to stabilize—gained momentum throughout the 12-month period, helping the U.S. economy post positive growth in the third and fourth quarters of 2009. The exception was job growth—the unemployment rate rose to its highest level since 1983 before falling back slightly toward the end of the reporting period.
Better-than-expected corporate profits also provided a boost to stocks despite sluggish revenue growth. Aggressive cost-cutting strategies across much of corporate America helped profits remain on an upward trajectory.
Value Stocks Led the Rally
Value stocks led the market’s advance, outperforming growth shares across all market capitalizations (see the table below). Many of the best-performing stocks were financially stressed companies that were able to stabilize their businesses and strengthen their balance sheets—characteristics that apply to value-oriented issues. In addition, the financial sector—a sizable component of the value universe—was one of the top-performing sectors in the equity market as many troubled financial firms were able to issue equity and deleverage.
Another recent development that has been favorable for value stocks is a resurgence of dividends. 2009 was the worst year on record for dividends in the U.S., where more than 800 companies reduced their dividend payouts by a total of $58 billion. However, in the first three months of 2010, income-oriented investors were rewarded with growing dividend payouts. In February alone, 47 companies in the S&P 500 increased their dividends or began paying them. Dividends play a central role in our efforts to reduce risk and increase total returns, and they also confirm the strength of a company’s earnings and cash flow.

Equity Income
Portfolio Managers: Phil Davidson, Kevin Toney, and Michael Liss
Performance Summary
Equity Income returned 28.04%* for the 12 months ended March 31, 2010. By comparison, the Lipper Equity Income Funds Index returned 48.54%, and the average return for Morningstar’s Large Cap Value category** (its performance, like Equity Income’s, reflects operating expenses) was 50.25%. Two market indices—the Russell 3000 Value Index and the S&P 500 Index—returned 54.46% and 49.77%, respectively. The portfolio’s return reflects operating expenses, while the indices’ returns do not.
As the performance figures above indicate, the stock market staged a remarkable comeback during the reporting period. Economic conditions improved (partly in response to government stimulus programs), corporate earnings were better than expected, and improving conditions in the capital markets helped the more highly leveraged and financially strapped companies. These factors led many investors to shift into riskier assets, and many of the period’s largest gains were made by securities of lower-quality businesses that had fared the worst during the financial crisis. That situation was at odds with Equity Income’s conservative investment approach, which emphasizes higher-quality, income-producing securities. Many of the companies held by the portfolio have contained costs and gained market share, allowing them to raise their dividends, but a large number were left behind in the low-quality rally. Against t his backdrop, Equity Income’s relative performance for the annual period was more a result of what it didn’t own rather than what it did.
Equity Income is carefully managed to provide solid long-term performance. Since its inception on August 1, 1994, Equity Income has produced an average annual return of 10.59%, topping the returns for the Lipper Equity Income Funds Index, Morningstar’s Large Cap Value category average, the Russell 3000 Value Index, and the S&P 500 Index for the same period (see performance information on page 5 and in footnotes below).
Financials Slowed Progress
Although financials contributed significantly to the portfolio’s return, the sector was the largest source of underperformance against the benchmark. Equity Income’s mix of higher-quality companies and its underweight position restrained performance during the market rally when companies with stressed balance sheets outperformed stronger, higher-quality businesses. For example, in commercial banks, the portfolio held Commerce Bancshares, a high-quality regional bank serving customers in Midwestern states. Commerce did not take federal bailout money and raised its dividend, but its shares did not keep pace with the sector during the low-quality rally.

Equity Income
For some time, we have approached financials with caution and conservatism as evidenced by an investment in a convertible security issued by U.S. Bancorp. Although the position provided the portfolio with a positive return, it underperformed many other financials names.
Elsewhere in the sector, our investments were concentrated in the less-volatile names in insurance, thrifts, and capital markets companies. In the insurance industry, Equity Income was overweight shares of Marsh & McLennan. A global insurance broker, Marsh does not have a credit-sensitive business model and we believe it is well-positioned to benefit from new management and improving operating conditions.
The capital markets segment provided top contributor T. Rowe Price Group. As the environment improves for asset managers, the company stands to benefit from consolidation within the segment and appears positioned to gain market share.
Industrials Detracted
In industrials, Equity Income was hindered by the combination of an underweight position and stock selection. Many industrials stocks, which suffered steep declines as the recession took hold, posted strong results during the annual period. The sector was up more than 80% in the benchmark. The portfolio’s investments were concentrated in commercial services and supplies, specifically among waste management companies. In keeping with our conservative stance, Equity Income held a less risky convertible security issued by Waste Connections, which did not keep up with other securities in the sector.
Consumer Discretionary Hampered Results
An underweight in the consumer discretionary sector dampened relative progress. Equity Income did not own any media companies, which outperformed as the economy strengthened and advertising revenues improved. Similarly, the portfolio was slowed by an underweight in automakers, which turned in strong results during the period.
Outlook
We will continue to follow our disciplined, bottom-up investment process, selecting companies one at a time for the portfolio. As of March 31, 2010, we see attractive opportunities in consumer staples, utilities, and information technology, reflected by our overweight positions in these sectors. We continue to be selective in holdings of consumer discretionary, industrials, materials, and financials companies, relying on fundamental analysis to identify strong, financially sound businesses whose securities provide attractive yields.

Portfolio Managers: Michael Liss, Kevin Toney, and Phil Davidson
Performance Summary
Value returned 44.84%* for the 12 months ended March 31, 2010. By comparison, the Lipper Multi-Cap Value Funds Index returned 51.98%, while the average return for Morningstar’s Large Cap Value category** (its performance, like Value’s, reflects operating expenses) was 50.25%. Two market indices—the Russell 3000 Value Index and the S&P 500 Index—returned 54.46% and 49.77%, respectively. The portfolio’s return reflects operating expenses, while the indices’ returns do not.
As the performance figures above indicate, the stock market staged a remarkable comeback during the reporting period. Economic conditions improved (partly in response to government stimulus programs), corporate earnings were better than expected, and improving conditions in the capital markets helped the more highly leveraged or financially strapped companies. These factors led many investors to shift into riskier assets, and many of the period’s largest gains were made by the lower-quality businesses that fared the worst during the financial crisis. That situation was at odds with Value’s investment approach, which emphasizes higher-quality businesses with sound balance sheets. Nonetheless, the portfolio received positive contributions in absolute terms from all 10 of the sectors in which it was invested. On a relative basis, Value’s underperformance was more a result of what it didn’t own rat her than what it did.
Value is carefully managed for long-term results. Since its inception on September 1, 1993, Value has produced an average annual return of 9.24%, topping the returns for the Lipper Multi-Cap Value Funds Index, Morning-star’s Large Cap Value category average, the Russell 3000 Value Index, and the S&P 500 Index for the same period (see performance information on page 10 and in footnotes below).
Financials Slowed Results
Value’s position in the financials sector was its largest source of underperfor-mance versus the benchmark. Although financials contributed the most to the portfolio’s return, an underweight restrained relative progress as companies with stressed balance sheets, some of which had appeared to be on the brink of bankruptcy only months earlier, outperformed stronger, higher-quality businesses. The portfolio was underweight commercial banks, a segment that returned more than 82% to the Russell 3000 Value Index.
During the reporting period, the portfolio’s investments were concentrated in the less-volatile insurance names. Many of these companies, however, underperformed during the low-quality rally. Value benefited from holdings among asset management firms, including notable contributor

Value
AllianceBernstein Holding LP which performed well as the environment for asset managers improved.
Value’s underweight in real estate investment trusts (REITs) detracted from relative performance. For some time, the management team has been concerned about this segment’s operating trends, financial leverage, access to funding, and valuation. However, in spite of deterioration in the commercial real estate market, REIT stocks posted gains of more than 214% in the benchmark, as investors moved into riskier assets during the period.
Consumer Discretionary Detracted
Relative performance was slowed by the combination of an underweight position and security selection in the consumer discretionary sector. Many of these stocks, which suffered steep declines as the recession took hold, rallied on optimism about a possible economic recovery and improving consumer sentiment. Value was hindered by its lack of exposure to media stocks, which outperformed as advertising revenues improved. It also did not own Ford Motor, which rose nearly 378% during the period.
Utilities Contributed
Security selection in utilities—the second-weakest sector in the benchmark—benefited relative performance. Because of valuations and higher-risk business models, Value did not hold any independent power producers; the segment declined more than 23% in the Russell 3000 Value Index. The portfolio’s mix of electric utilities was particularly advantageous.
Information Technology Added Value
The portfolio’s position in the information technology sector enhanced relative performance. The portfolio held Tyco Electronics, a global provider of engineered electronic components, network solutions, wireless systems, and undersea telecommunication systems. Tyco, which derives a significant percentage of its revenue from the manufacturing of automotive products, performed well as conditions improved in the automobiles segment and the global economy strengthened.
Outlook
We will continue to follow our disciplined, bottom-up process, selecting securities one at a time for the portfolio. As of March 31, 2010, we see opportunities in consumer staples, health care, information technology, and energy, reflected by overweight positions in these sectors relative to the benchmark. Our fundamental analysis and valuation work are also directing us toward relative underweights in financials, consumer discretionary, and materials energy stocks.

Large Company Value
Portfolio Managers: Chuck Ritter and Brendan Healy
Performance Summary
Large Company Value returned 46.68%* for the 12 months ended March 31, 2010. By comparison, its benchmark, the Russell 1000 Value Index, returned 53.56%. The broader market, as measured by the S&P 500 Index, returned 49.77%. The portfolio’s return reflects operating expenses, while the indices’ returns do not. The average return for Morningstar’s Large Cap Value category** (its performance, like Large Company Value’s, reflects operating expenses) was 50.25%.
As the performance figures above indicate, the stock market staged a remarkable comeback during the reporting period. Economic conditions improved in response to government stimulus, corporate earnings were better than expected, and improving conditions in the capital markets helped the more highly leveraged or financially strapped companies. These factors led many investors to shift into riskier assets, and many of the period’s largest gains were made by the lower-quality businesses that fared the worst during the financial crisis. Furthermore, the names that lagged the rally tended to be the stable, less risky businesses favored by Large Company Value. In this environment, the portfolio received positive results in absolute terms from all 10 of the sectors in which it was invested. On a relative basis, holdings in the consumer discretionary and health care sectors detracted. The portfolio’s position in utilities contributed positively.
Large Company Value is carefully managed for long-term results. Since its inception on July 30, 1999, Large Company Value has produced an average annual return of 3.02%, topping the returns for Morningstar’s Large Cap Value category average, the Russell 1000 Value Index, and the S&P 500 Index for the same period (see performance information on page 15 and in footnotes below).
Consumer Discretionary Detracted
Within the consumer discretionary sector, security selection was a drag on relative performance. Although the portfolio benefited from its investments in the media industry, these results were offset by a lack of exposure to car maker Ford Motor and auto component companies. Ford, which was up significantly in the benchmark, has restructured its business and steadily gained market share. Among diversified consumer services stocks, a notable detractor was H&R Block, which experienced a decline in its tax-preparation business.
Health Care Hampered Results
The portfolio’s overweight in health care dampened relative progress. Health care stocks gained, but their progress was constrained as investors

Large Company Value
priced in worst-case scenarios for health care reform. As fears abated, the sector’s performance strengthened.
Security selection also slowed relative results. A notable detractor was Abbott Laboratories, which develops and manufactures laboratory diagnostics, medical devices, and pharmaceutical therapies. Earlier in the reporting period, Abbott reported a deceleration in prescription growth for Humira, its blockbuster drug for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. Eventually, sales of Humira rebounded strongly, but the drugmaker’s shares underper-formed other pharmaceutical names.
A Defensive Bias Also Slowed Progress
A factor influencing Large Company Value’s relative underperformance was the annual reconstitution of the portfolio’s benchmark index, the Russell 1000 Value Index. The reconstitution, which occurred during June 2009, gave greater weighting to cyclical sectors and stocks—in other words, those that tend to rise during good economic times. Because of our investment approach, we did not respond to this shift in weightings by increasing the portfolio’s cyclical sensitivity, which hampered relative performance.
Utilities Provided a Boost
Large Company Value continued to benefit from a significant underweight in the utilities sector, reflecting our belief that many of these stocks have been overvalued for some time. The stance added value during the market rally when utilities underperformed all but one other benchmark sector.
Consumer Staples Provided Notable Contributor
The consumer staples sector was the source of key contributor Pepsi Bottling Group. Its share price surged on news that PepsiCo, which already owned one third of the bottling company, had launched a takeover bid. We sold the position after the announcement.
Outlook
We continue to be bottom-up investment managers, evaluating each company individually and building the portfolio one stock at a time. As of March 31, 2010, Large Company Value is broadly diversified, with ongoing overweight positions in the health care, information technology, and consumer staples sectors. Our valuation work is also directing us toward smaller relative weightings in financials, utilities, and materials stocks.

Shareholder Fee Examples (Unaudited) |
Fund shareholders may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and redemption/ exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service (12b-1) fees; and other fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in your fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing cost of investing in other mutual funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from October 1, 2009 to March 31, 2010.
Actual Expenses
The table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses for each class. You may use the information, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. First, identify the share class you own. Then simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
If you hold Investor Class shares of any American Century Investments fund, or Institutional Class shares of the American Century Diversified Bond Fund, in an American Century Investments account (i.e., not a financial intermediary or retirement plan account), American Century Investments may charge you a $12.50 semiannual account maintenance fee if the value of those shares is less than $10,000. We will redeem shares automatically in one of your accounts to pay the $12.50 fee. In determining your total eligible investment amount, we will include your investments in all personal accounts (including American Century Investments Brokerage accounts) registered under your Social Security number. Personal accounts include individual accounts, joint accounts, UGMA/UTMA accounts, personal trusts, Coverdell Education Savings Accounts and IRAs (including traditional, Roth, Rollover, SEP-, SARSEP- and SIMPLE-IRAs), and certain other retirement accounts. If you have only business, business retirement, employer-sponsored or American Century Investments Brokerage accounts, you are currently not subject to this fee. We will not charge the fee as long as you choose to manage your accounts exclusively online. If you are subject to the Account Maintenance Fee, your account value could be reduced by the fee amount.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The table also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual expense ratio of each class of your fund and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the actual return of a fund’s share class. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
20
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. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Organization — American Century Capital Portfolios, Inc. (the corporation) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the 1940 Act) as an open-end management investment company. Equity Income Fund (Equity Income), Value Fund (Value) and Large Company Value Fund (Large Company Value) (collectively, the funds) are three funds in a series issued by the corporation. The funds are diversified under the 1940 Act. Equity Income’s investment objective is to seek current income; capital appreciation is a secondary objective. Equity Income pursues its investment objective by investing in securities of companies with a favorable income-paying history that have prospects for income payments to continue or increase. Value and Large Company Value’s investment objective is to seek long-term capital growth; income is a secondary objective. Value and Large Company Value pursue their investment objective by investing in stocks of companies that management believes to be undervalued at the time of purchase. Value invests in companies with small, medium, and large market capitalization and Large Company Value invests in companies with larger market capitalization. The following is a summary of the funds’ significant accounting policies.
Multiple Class — The funds are authorized to issue the Investor Class, the Institutional Class, the A Class, the B Class, the C Class and the R Class. The A Class may incur an initial sales charge. The A Class, B Class and C Class may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge. The share classes differ principally in their respective sales charges and distribution and shareholder servicing expenses and arrangements. All shares of each fund represent an equal pro rata interest in the net assets of the class to which such shares belong, and have identical voting, dividend, liquidation and other rights and the same terms and conditions, except for class specific expenses and exclusive rights to vote on matters affecting only individual classes. Income, non-class specific expenses, and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses of the funds are allocated to each class of shares based on their relative net assets.
Security Valuations — Securities traded primarily on a principal securities exchange are valued at the last reported sales price, or at the mean of the latest bid and asked prices where no last sales price is available. Depending on local convention or regulation, securities traded over-the-counter are valued at the mean of the latest bid and asked prices, the last sales price, or the official close price. Investments in open-end management investment companies are valued at the reported net asset value. Debt securities not traded on a principal securities exchange are valued through a commercial pricing service or at the mean of the most recent bid and asked prices. Discount notes may be valued through a commercial pricing service or at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. Securities traded on foreign securities ex changes and over-the-counter markets are normally completed before the close of business on days that the New York Stock Exchange (the Exchange) is open and may also take place on days when the Exchange is not open. If an event occurs after the value of a security was established but before the net asset value per share was determined that was likely to materially change the net asset value, that security would be valued as determined in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Directors. If the funds determine that the market price of a portfolio security is not readily available, or that the valuation methods mentioned above do not reflect the security’s fair value, such security is valued as determined by the Board of Directors or its designee, in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Directors, if such determination would materially impact a fund’s net asset value. Certain other circumstances may cause the funds to use alternative procedures to value a security such as: a security has been declared in default; trading in a security has been halted during the trading day; or there is a foreign market holiday and no trading will commence.
38
Security Transactions — For financial reporting purposes, security transactions are accounted for as of the trade date. Net realized gains and losses are determined on the identified cost basis, which is also used for federal income tax purposes.
Investment Income — Dividend income less foreign taxes withheld, if any, is recorded as of the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis and includes accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums.
Equity-Linked Debt and Linked-Equity Securities — The funds may invest in hybrid equity securities, which usually convert into common stock at a date predetermined by the issuer. These securities generally offer a higher dividend yield than that of the common stock to which the security is linked. These instruments are issued by a company other than the one to which the security is linked and carry the credit of the issuer, not that of the underlying common stock. The securities’ appreciation is limited based on a predetermined final cap price at the date of the conversion. Risks of investing in these securities include, but are not limited to, a set time to capture the yield advantage, limited appreciation potential, decline in value of the underlying stock, and failure of the issuer to pay dividends or to deliver c ommon stock at maturity.
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 funds 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 certain expenses are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. For assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities, net realized and unrealized gains and losses from foreign currency translations arise from changes in currency exchange rates.
Net realized and unrealized foreign currency exchange gains or losses occurring during the holding period of investment securities are a component of net realized gain (loss) on investment transactions and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments, respectively. Certain countries may impose taxes on the contract amount of purchases and sales of foreign currency contracts in their currency. The funds record the foreign tax expense, if any, as a reduction to the net realized gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions.
Repurchase Agreements — The funds may enter into repurchase agreements with institutions that American Century Investment Management, Inc. (ACIM) (the investment advisor) has determined are creditworthy pursuant to criteria adopted by the Board of Directors. Each repurchase agreement is recorded at cost. Each fund requires that the collateral, represented by securities, received in a repurchase transaction be transferred to the custodian in a manner sufficient to enable each fund to obtain those securities in the event of a default under the repurchase agreement. ACIM monitors, on a daily basis, the securities transferred to ensure the value, including accrued interest, of the securities under each repurchase agreement is equal to or greater than amounts owed to each fund under each repurchase agreement.
Joint Trading Account — Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission, each fund, along with certain other funds in the American Century Investments family of funds, may transfer uninvested cash balances into a joint trading account. These balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Agency obligations.
Income Tax Status — It is each fund’s policy to distribute substantially all net investment income and net realized gains to shareholders and to otherwise qualify as a regulated investment company under provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. The funds are no longer subject to examination by tax authorities for years prior to 2007. At this time, management believes there are no uncertain tax positions which, based on their technical merit, would not be sustained upon examination and for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. Accordingly, no provision has been made for federal or state income taxes.
39
Distributions to Shareholders — Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions from net investment income are declared and paid quarterly. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are generally declared and paid annually.
Indemnifications — Under the corporation’s organizational documents, its officers and directors are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the funds. In addition, in the normal course of business, the funds enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The 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.
Use of Estimates — The financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which may require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Subsequent Events — In preparing the financial statements, management evaluated the impact of events or transactions occurring through the date the financial statements were issued that would merit recognition or disclosure.
2. Fees and Transactions with Related Parties
Management Fees — The corporation has entered into a Management Agreement with ACIM, under which ACIM provides the funds with investment advisory and management services in exchange for a single, unified management fee (the fee) per class. The Agreement provides that all expenses of managing and operating the funds, except 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 the daily net assets of each specific class of shares of each fund and paid monthly in arrears. For funds with a stepped fee schedule, the rate of the fee is determined by applying a fee rate calculation formula. This formula takes into account each fund’s assets as well as certain assets, if a ny, of other clients of the investment advisor outside the American Century Investments family of funds (such as subadvised funds and separate accounts) that have very similar investment teams and investment strategies (strategy assets). The annual management fee schedule for Equity Income ranges from 0.80% to 1.00% for the Investor Class, A Class, B Class, C Class and R Class. The annual management fee schedule for Value ranges from 0.85% to 1.00% for the Investor Class, A Class, B Class, C Class and R Class. The annual management fee schedule for Large Company Value ranges from 0.70% to 0.90% for the Investor Class, A Class, B Class, C Class and R Class. The Institutional Class of each fund is 0.20% less at each point within the range.
The effective annual management fee for each class of each fund for the year ended March 31, 2010, was as follows:
| | |
| Investor, A, B, C & R | Institutional |
Equity Income | 0.97% | 0.77% |
Value | 1.00% | 0.80% |
Large Company Value | 0.84% | 0.64% |
40
Distribution and Service Fees — The Board of Directors has adopted a separate Master Distribution and Individual Shareholder Services Plan for each of the A Class, B Class, C Class and R Class (collectively the plans), pursuant to Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act. The plans provide that the A Class will pay American Century Investment Services, Inc. (ACIS) an annual distribution and service fee of 0.25%. The plans provide that the B Class and the C Class will each pay ACIS an annual distribution fee of 0.75% and service fee of 0.25%. The plans provide that the R Class will pay ACIS an annual distribution and service fee of 0.50%. The fees are computed and accrued daily based on each class’s daily net assets and paid monthly in arrears. The fees are used to pay financial intermediaries for distribution and individual shareholde r services. Fees incurred under the plans during the year ended March 31, 2010, 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 parent of the corporation’s investment advisor, ACIM, the distributor of the corporation, ACIS, and the corporation’s transfer agent, American Century Services, LLC.
The funds are eligible to invest in a money market fund for temporary purposes, which is managed by J.P. Morgan Investment Management, Inc. (JPMIM). The funds have a Mutual Funds Services Agreement with J.P. Morgan Investor Services Co. (JPMIS) and a securities lending agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank (JPMCB). JPMCB is a custodian of the funds. JPMIM, JPMIS and JPMCB are wholly owned subsidiaries of JPMorgan Chase & Co. (JPM). JPM is an equity investor in ACC.

6. Fair Value Measurements
The funds’ securities valuation process is based on several considerations and may use multiple inputs to determine the fair value of the positions held by the funds. In conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the inputs used to determine a valuation are classified into three broad levels as follows:
• Level 1 valuation inputs consist of unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical securities;
• Level 2 valuation inputs consist of significant 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 significant unobservable inputs (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 an indication of the risks associated with investing in these securities or other financial instruments.
The following is a summary of the valuation inputs used to determine the fair value of the funds’ securities and other financial instruments as of March 31, 2010. The Schedule of Investments provides additional details of the funds’ portfolio holdings.

7. Derivative Instruments
Equity Price Risk — Value and Large Company Value are subject to equity price risk in the normal course of pursuing their investment objectives. A fund may enter into futures contracts based on an equity index in order to manage its exposure to changes in market conditions. 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 r ealized 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. 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. For Large Company Value, the equity price risk derivative instruments held at period end as disclosed on the Schedule of Investments are indicative of the fund’s typical volume during the period. During the period, Value infrequently purchased equity price risk derivative instruments for temporary investment purposes.
Foreign Currency Risk — Equity Income and Value are subject to foreign currency exchange rate risk in the normal course of pursuing their 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. The net U.S. dollar value of foreign currency underlying all contractual commitments held by a fund and the resulting unrealized appreciation or deprecia tion are determined daily using prevailing exchange rates. Realized gain or loss is recorded upon the termination of the contract. Net realized and unrealized gains or losses occurring during the holding period
46
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 risk of loss from non-performance by the counterparty may be reduced by the use of master netting agreements. The foreign currency risk derivative instruments held at period end as disclosed on the Schedule of Investments are indicative of Equity Income’s and Value’s average volume during the period.

8. Risk Factors
There are certain risks involved in investing in foreign securities. These risks include those resulting from future adverse political, social, and economic development, fluctuations in currency exchange rates, the possible imposition of exchange controls, and other foreign laws and restrictions.
9. Interfund Lending
The funds, along with certain other funds in the American Century Investments family of funds, may participate in an interfund lending program, pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). This program provides an alternative credit facility allowing the funds to borrow from or lend to other funds in the American Century Investments family of funds that permit such transactions. Interfund lending transactions are subject to each fund’s investment policies and borrowing and lending limits. The interfund loan rate earned/paid on interfund lending transactions is determined daily based on the average of certain current market rates. Interfund lending transactions normally extend only overnight, but can have a maximum duration of seven days. The program is subject to annual approval by the Board of Directors. During the year ended March 31, 2010, the funds did not utilize the program.
10. Federal Tax Information
The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended March 31, 2010 and March 31, 2009 were as follows
| | | | | | |
| Equity Income | Value | Large Company Value |
| 2010 | 2009 | 2010 | 2009 | 2010 | 2009 |
Distributions Paid From | | | | | | |
Ordinary income | $141,597,122 | $166,129,626 | $27,197,441 | $44,552,362 | $23,228,498 | $45,450,573 |
Long-term capital gains | — | $392,452 | — | — | — | $22,632,362 |
The book-basis character of distributions made during the year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. These differences reflect the differing character of certain income items and net realized gains and losses for financial statement and tax purposes, and may result in reclassification among certain capital accounts on the financial statements.

As of March 31, 2010, the federal tax cost of investments and the components of distributable earnings on a tax-basis were as follows:
| | | |
| Equity Income | Value | Large Company Value |
Federal tax cost of investments | $5,605,899,801 | $1,586,214,964 | $1,138,947,038 |
Gross tax appreciation of investments | $590,093,201 | $ 144,511,303 | $212,149,374 |
Gross tax depreciation of investments | (7,190,235) | (104,725,704) | (86,839,059) |
Net tax appreciation (depreciation) of investments | $582,902,966 | $ 39,785,599 | $125,310,315 |
Net tax appreciation (depreciation) on derivatives and | | | |
translation of assets and liabilities in foreign currencies | $ 7,660 | $ (415) | — |
Net tax appreciation (depreciation) | $582,910,626 | $39,785,184 | $125,310,315 |
Undistributed ordinary income | $10,254,950 | $2,725,069 | — |
Accumulated capital losses | $(997,492,082) | $(497,796,183) | $(478,206,635) |
Capital loss deferrals | — | — | $(10,334,586) |
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales and the realization for tax purposes of unrealized gains (losses) on certain forward foreign currency exchange contracts and on certain futures contracts.
The accumulated capital losses listed above represent net capital loss carryovers that may be used to offset future realized capital gains for federal income tax purposes. Future capital loss carryover utilization in any given year may be subject to Internal Revenue Code limitations. The capital loss carryovers expire as follows:
| | |
| 2017 | 2018 |
Equity Income | $(417,263,106) | $(580,228,976) |
Value | $(292,022,390) | $(205,773,793) |
Large Company Value | $(176,129,535) | $(302,077,100) |

In March 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Section 815-10 (formerly Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities —an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133”). ASC Section 815-10 is effective for interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008 and has been adopted by the funds. ASC Section 815-10 amends and expands disclosures about derivative instruments and hedging activities. ASC Section 815-10 requires qualitative disclosures about the objectives and strategies of derivative instruments, quantitative disclosures about the fair value amounts of and gains and losses on derivative instruments, and disclosures of credit-risk-related contingent features in hedging activities.

12. Corporate Event
As part of a long-standing estate and business succession plan established by ACC Co-Chairman James E. Stowers, Jr., the founder of American Century Investments, ACC Co-Chairman Richard W. Brown succeeded Mr. Stowers as trustee of a trust that holds a greater-than-25% voting interest in ACC, the parent corporation of each fund’s advisor. Under the 1940 Act, this is presumed to represent control of ACC even though it is less than a majority interest. The change of trustee may technically be considered a “change of control” of ACC and therefore also a change of control of each fund’s advisor even though there has been no change to their management and none is anticipated. The “change of control” resulted in the assignment of each fund’s investment advisory agreement. Under the 1940 Act, an assignment automatically terminated such agreement, making the approval of a new agreement ne cessary.
On February 18, 2010, the Board of Directors approved interim investment advisory agreements under which each fund will be managed until new agreements are approved by fund shareholders. On March 29, 2010, the Board of Directors approved new investment advisory agreements. The interim agreements and the new agreements are substantially identical to the terminated agreements (with the exception of different effective and termination dates) and will not result in changes in the management of American Century Investments, the funds, their investment objectives, fees or services provided. The new agreements have been submitted to shareholders for approval at a Special Meeting of Shareholders to be held on June 16, 2010.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm |
The Board of Directors and Shareholders,
American Century Capital Portfolios, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of Equity Income Fund, Value Fund and Large Company Value Fund, three of the mutual funds constituting American Century Capital Portfolios, Inc. (the “Corporation”), as of March 31, 2010, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Corporation’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Corporation is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing t he accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of March 31, 2010, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial positions of Equity Income Fund, Value Fund and Large Company Value Fund, three of the mutual funds of American Century Capital Portfolios, Inc., as of March 31, 2010, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The Board of Directors
The individuals listed below serve as directors of the funds. Each director will continue to serve in this capacity until death, retirement, resignation or removal from office. The mandatory retirement age for directors who are not “interested persons,” as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act (independent directors), is 72. However, the mandatory retirement age may be extended or changed with the approval of the remaining independent directors.
Mr. Thomas is the only director who is an “interested person” because he currently serves as President and Chief Executive Officer of American Century Companies, Inc. (ACC), the parent company of American Century Investment Management, Inc. (ACIM) and American Century Global Investment Management, Inc. (ACGIM). ACIM and ACGIM are referred to collectively as the “advisors.”
The other directors (more than three-fourths of the total number) are independent; that is, they have never been employees, directors or officers of, and have no financial interest in, ACC or any of its wholly owned, direct or indirect, subsidiaries, including ACIM, ACGIM, American Century Investment Services, Inc. (ACIS) and American Century Services, LLC (ACS). The directors serve in this capacity for seven (in the case of Mr. Thomas, 15) registered investment companies in the American Century Investments family of funds.

Board Approval of Management Agreements |
American Century Investment Management, Inc. (“ACIM” or the “Advisor”) currently serves as investment advisor to the Funds under an interim management agreement (the “Interim Management Agreement”) between the Advisor and the Funds approved by the Funds’ Board of Directors (the “Board”). The Advisor previously served as investment advisor to the Funds pursuant to a management agreement (the “Prior Management Agreement”) that terminated in accordance with its terms on February 16, 2010, as a result of a change of control of the Advisor’s parent company, American Century Companies, Inc. (“ACC”). The change in control occurred as the result of a change in the trustee of a trust created by James E. Stowers, Jr., the founder of American Century Investments, which holds shares representing a significant interest in ACC stock. Mr. Stowers previously se rved as the trustee of the trust. On February 16, 2010, Richard W. Brown, Co-Chairman of ACC with Mr. Stowers, became the trustee in accordance with the terms of the trust and Mr. Stowers’ long-standing estate and succession plan.
On February 18, 2010, the Board approved the Interim Management Agreement in accordance with Rule 15a-4 under the Investment Company Act to ensure continued management of the Funds by the Advisor after the termination of the Prior Management Agreement and until shareholder approval of a new management agreement (the “Proposed Management Agreement”) as required under the Act. The Board has approved the Proposed Management Agreement and has recommended its approval to shareholders. Fund shareholders are scheduled to consider approval of the Proposed Management Agreement at a meeting to be held on June 16, 2010.
The Interim Management Agreement and the Proposed Management Agreement are substantially identical to the Prior Management Agreement except for their effective dates and the termination provisions of the Interim Management Agreement. Under the Interim and Proposed Management Agreements, the Advisor will provide the same services to the Funds and receive the same compensation rate as under the Prior Management Agreement.
Basis for Board Approval of Interim Management Agreement
In considering the approval of the Interim Management Agreement, Rule 15a-4 requires the Board to approve the contract within ten business days of the termination of the prior agreement and to determine that the compensation to be received under the interim agreement is no greater than would have been received under the prior agreement. In connection with the approval, the Board noted that it oversees on a continuous basis and evaluates at its quarterly meetings, directly and through the committees of the Board, the nature and quality of significant services provided by the Advisor, the investment performance of the Funds, shareholder services, audit and compliance functions and a variety of other matters relating to the Funds’ operations.
In evaluating the Interim Management Agreement, the Board, assisted by the advice of its independent legal counsel, considered a number of factors in addition to those required by the rule with no one factor being determinative to its analysis. Among the factors considered by the Board were the
74
circumstances and effect of the change of control, the fact that the Advisor will provide the same services and receive the same compensation rate as under the Prior Management Agreements, and that the change of control did not result in a change of the personnel managing the Funds. Upon completion of its analysis, the Board approved the Interim Management Agreement, determining that the continued management of the Funds by the Advisor was in the best interests of the Funds and Fund shareholders.
Basis for Board Approval of Proposed Management Agreement
At a meeting held on March 29, 2010, after considering all information presented, the Board approved, and determined to recommend that shareholders approve, the Proposed Management Agreement. In connection with that approval, the Board requested and reviewed extensive data and information compiled by the Advisor and certain independent providers of evaluation data concerning the Funds and services provided to the Funds by the Advisor. The Board oversees on a continuous basis and evaluates at its quarterly meetings, directly and through the committees of the Board, the nature and quality of significant services provided by the Advisor, the investment performance of the Funds, shareholder services, audit and compliance functions and a variety of other matters relating to the Funds’ operations. The information considered and the discussions held at the meetings included, but were not limited to:
• the nature, extent and quality of investment management, shareholder services and other services provided to the Funds;
• the wide range of programs and services the Advisor provides to the Funds and their shareholders on a routine and non-routine basis;
• the compliance policies, procedures, and regulatory experience of the Advisor;
• data comparing the cost of owning the Funds to the cost of owning similar funds;
• the fact that there will be no changes to the fees, services, or personnel who provide such services as compared to the Prior Management Agreement;
• data comparing the Funds’ performance to appropriate benchmarks and/ or a peer group of other mutual funds with similar investment objectives and strategies;
• financial data showing the profitability of the Funds to the Advisor and the overall profitability of the Advisor;
• data comparing services provided and charges to the Funds with those for other non-fund investment management clients of the Advisor; and
• consideration of collateral or “fall-out” benefits derived by the Advisor from the management of the Funds and potential sharing of economies of scale in connection with the management of the Funds.
75
The Board also considered whether there was any reason for not continuing the existing arrangement with the Advisor. In particular, the Board recognized that shareholders may have invested in the Funds on the strength of the Advisor’s industry standing and reputation and in the expectation that the Advisor will have a continuing role in providing advisory services to the Funds.
The Board considered all of the information provided by the Advisor, the independent data providers, and the Board’s independent legal counsel, and evaluated such information for each Fund. The Board did not identify any single factor as being all-important or controlling, and each Board member may have attributed different levels of importance to different factors. In deciding to approve the Proposed Management Agreement under the terms ultimately determined by the Board to be appropriate, the Board based its decision on a number of factors, including the following:
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services—Generally. Under the Proposed Management Agreement, the Advisor is responsible for providing or arranging for all services necessary for the operation of the Funds. The Board noted that under the Proposed Management Agreement, the Advisor provides or arranges at its own expense a wide variety of services including:
• constructing and designing the Funds
• portfolio research and security selection
• initial capitalization/funding
• securities trading
• Fund administration
• custody of Fund assets
• daily valuation of each Fund’s portfolio
• shareholder servicing and transfer agency, including shareholder
confirmations, recordkeeping and communications
• legal services
• regulatory and portfolio compliance
• financial reporting
• marketing and distribution
The Board noted that many of these services have expanded over time both in terms of quantity and complexity in response to shareholder demands, competition in the industry, changing distribution channels and the changing regulatory environment.
76
Investment Management Services. The investment management services provided to the Funds are complex and provide Fund shareholders access to professional money management, instant diversification of their investments within an asset class, the opportunity to easily diversify among asset classes, and liquidity. As a part of its general oversight and in evaluating investment performance, the Board expects the Advisor to manage each Fund in accordance with its investment objectives and approved strategies. In providing these services, the Advisor utilizes teams of investment professionals who require extensive information technology, research, training, compliance and other systems to conduct their business. The Board, directly and through its Fund Performance Review Committee, regularly reviews investment performance information for each Fund, together with comparative information for appropriate benchmarks and/or peer groups of similarly-managed funds, over different time horizons. If performance concerns are identified, the underperforming Fund receives special reviews until performance improves, during which time the Board discusses with the Advisor the reasons for such underperformance and any efforts being undertaken to improve performance.
Shareholder and Other Services. Under the Proposed Management Agreement, the Advisor will also provide the Funds with a comprehensive package of transfer agency, shareholder, and other services. The Board, directly and through the various committees of the Board, regularly reviews reports and evaluations of such services. These reports include, but are not limited to, information regarding the operational efficiency and accuracy of the shareholder and transfer agency services provided, staffing levels, shareholder satisfaction (as measured by external as well as internal sources), technology support, new products and services offered to Fund shareholders, securities trading activities, portfolio valuation services, auditing services, and legal and operational compliance activities. Certain aspects of shareholder and transfer a gency service level efficiency and the quality of securities trading activities are measured by independent third party providers and are presented in comparison to other fund groups not managed by the Advisor.
Costs of Services Provided and Profitability. The Advisor provided detailed information concerning its cost of providing various services to the Funds, its profitability in managing the Funds, its overall profitability, and its financial condition. The Board reviewed with the Advisor the methodology used to prepare this financial information. The Board has also reviewed with the Advisor its methodology for compensating the investment professionals that provide services to the Funds as well as compensation to the five highest paid personnel of the Advisor. This financial information regarding the Advisor is considered in order to evaluate the Advisor’s financial condition, its ability to continue to provide services under the Proposed Management Agreement, and the reasonableness of the proposed management fees. The Board c oncluded that the Advisor’s profits were reasonable in light of the services provided to the Funds.
77
Ethics. The Board generally considers the Advisor’s commitment to providing quality services to shareholders and to conducting its business ethically. It noted that the Advisor’s practices generally meet or exceed industry best practices.
Economies of Scale. The Board also reviewed information provided by the Advisor regarding the possible existence of economies of scale in connection with the management of the Funds. The Board concluded that economies of scale are difficult to measure and predict with precision, especially on a fund-by-fund basis. The analysis of economies of scale is further complicated by the additional services and content provided by the Advisor and its reinvestment in its ability to provide and expand those services. Accordingly, the Board seeks to evaluate economies of scale by reviewing information, such as year-over-year profitability of the Advisor generally, the profitability of its management of each Fund specifically, and the expenses incurred by the Advisor in providing various functions to the Funds. The Board believes the Adviso r is appropriately sharing economies of scale through its competitive fee structure, offering competitive fees from fund inception, fee breakpoints as each Fund increases in size, and through reinvestment in its business to provide shareholders additional services and enhancements to existing services.
Comparison to Fees of Funds not Managed by the Advisor. Both the Prior and Proposed Management Agreements provide that the Funds pay the Advisor a single, all-inclusive (or unified) management fee for providing all services necessary for the management and operation of the Funds, other than brokerage expenses, taxes, interest, extraordinary expenses, and the fees and expenses of the Funds’ Independent Trustees (including their independent legal counsel) and expenses incurred in connection with the provision of shareholder services and distribution services under a plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Under the unified fee structure, the Advisor is responsible for providing all investment advisory, custody, audit, administrative, compliance, recordkeeping, marketing and shareholder services, or arranging and supervising third parties that provide such services. By contrast, most other funds are charged a variety of fees, including an investment advisory fee, a transfer agency fee, an administrative fee, distribution charges and other expenses. Other than their investment advisory fees and any applicable Rule 12b-1 distribution fees, the components of the total fees charged by these other funds may be increased without shareholder approval. The Board believes the unified fee structure is a benefit to Fund shareholders because it clearly discloses to shareholders the cost of owning Fund shares, and, since the unified fee cannot be increased without a vote of Fund shareholders, it shifts to the Advisor the risk of increased costs of operating the Funds and provides a direct incentive to minimize administrative inefficiencies. Part of the Board’s analysis of fee levels involves reviewing certain evaluative data compiled by an independent provider comparing each Fund’s unified fee to the total expense ratios of similar funds not managed by the Advisor. The Board concluded that the management fee to be paid by each Fund to the Advisor under the Proposed Management Agreement is reasonable in light of the services to be provided to the Fund.
78
Comparison to Fees and Services Provided to Other Clients of the Advisor. The Board also requested and received information from the Advisor concerning the nature and extent of the services, fees, and profitability of its advisory services to advisory clients other than the Funds. They observed that these varying types of client accounts require different services and involve different regulatory and entrepreneurial risks than the management of the Funds. The Board analyzed this information and concluded that the fees charged and services provided to the Funds were reasonable by comparison.
Collateral or “Fall-Out” Benefits Derived by the Advisor. The Board considered the existence of collateral benefits the Advisor may receive as a result of its relationship with the Funds. The Board concluded that the Advisor’s primary business is managing mutual funds and it generally does not use Fund or shareholder information to generate profits in other lines of business, and therefore does not derive any significant collateral benefits from them. The Board noted that the Advisor receives proprietary research from broker-dealers that execute Fund portfolio transactions and concluded that this research is likely to benefit Fund shareholders. The Board also determined that the Advisor is able to provide investment management services to certain clients other than the Funds, at least in part, due to its existin g infrastructure built to serve the fund complex. The Board concluded, however, that the assets of those other clients are not material to the analysis and, in any event, are included with the assets of the Funds to determine breakpoints in each Fund’s fee schedule, provided they are managed using the same investment team and strategy.
Conclusion of the Board. As a result of this process, the Board, in the absence of particular circumstances and assisted by the advice of its independent legal counsel, taking into account all of the factors discussed above and the information provided by the Advisor and others, concluded that the Proposed Management Agreement be approved and recommended its approval to Fund shareholders.

Retirement Account Information
As required by law, distributions you receive from certain IRAs, or 403(b), 457 and qualified plans are subject to federal income tax withholding, unless you elect not to have withholding apply. Tax will be withheld on the total amount withdrawn even though you may be receiving amounts that are not subject to withholding, such as nondeductible contributions. In such case, excess amounts of withholding could occur. You may adjust your withholding election so that a greater or lesser amount will be withheld.
If you don’t want us to withhold on this amount, you must notify us to not withhold the federal income tax. You may notify us in writing or in certain situations by telephone or through other electronic means. You have the right to revoke your withholding election at any time and any election you make may remain in effect until revoked by filing a new election.
Remember, even if you elect not to have income tax withheld, you are liable for paying income tax on the taxable portion of your withdrawal. If you elect not to have income tax withheld or you don’t have enough income tax withheld, you may be responsible for payment of estimated tax. You may incur penalties under the estimated tax rules if your withholding and estimated tax payments are not sufficient. You can reduce or defer the income tax on a distribution by directly or indirectly rolling such distribution over to another IRA or eligible plan. You should consult your tax advisor for additional information.
State tax will be withheld if, at the time of your distribution, your address is within one of the mandatory withholding states and you have federal income tax withheld. State taxes will be withheld from your distribution in accordance with the respective state rules.

Independent Chairman’s Letter |

Fellow Shareholders,
The principal event at a recent board meeting was the retirement of Jim Stowers, Jr. from the American Century Mutual Funds Kansas City board. This was one of those times when you felt like you were living a historical moment. Jim founded what was known as Twentieth Century Mutual Funds over 50 years ago. Through the years, his number one priority has been to “Put Investors First!” The board presented Jim with a resolution acknowledging that, by building a successful investment company, he has impacted the lives of many by helping them on the path to financial success.
We respect Jim’s decision to focus his energy on the Stowers Institute for Medical Research and American Century Companies, Inc. (ACC), the parent company of the funds’ investment advisors. The pioneering medical research that Jim and his wife Virginia have made possible through the Institute should enrich the lives of millions in the future.
Shortly after his retirement from the board, we received word that Jim—who celebrated his 86th birthday in January—was hospitalized after experiencing a fall during his regular exercise regimen. While Jim has made steady progress toward recovery, this potentially serious incident resulted in the activation of his long-standing estate and business succession plan. Under the terms of the plan, ACC’s co-chairman Richard W. Brown succeeded Jim as trustee of a trust that holds a significant interest in ACC stock. While less than a majority interest, the trust is presumed to control the funds’ investment advisors under the Investment Company Act of 1940. This change triggered the need for a shareholder proxy to approve new management and subadvisory agreements for the funds. If you have not already responded, I encourage you to take the time to read the proxy materials and send your vote as soon as p ossible.
On behalf of the board, I want to once again thank Jim for his mutual fund board service and wish him a speedy recovery. More than three years ago, Jim and Richard Brown installed a strong and effective leadership team at American Century Investments and I look forward to continuing to work with them on behalf of fund shareholders. And while Jim no longer sits on the fund board, the inherent optimism captured by his favorite catch phrase—“The best is yet to be”—still resonates with all of us who have the privilege of serving you. I invite you to send your comments, questions or concerns to me at dhpratt@fundboardchair.com.

A Remarkable Recovery for Stocks
The U.S. stock market generated a very strong return for the year ended March 31, 2010, enjoying one of its best 12-month performances since 1983 (see the table below). The market’s extraordinary advance was driven by growing signs of economic recovery following a severe recession in late 2008 and early 2009.
The reporting period began shortly after the stock market hit its lowest point in 13 years, weighed down by the Great Recession—the worst economic downturn since the 1930s. Since then, however, the economic environment has improved markedly, providing support to the equity market. An increase in manufacturing activity, improving consumer spending, and signs of stabilization in the housing sector helped the U.S. economy post positive economic growth in the second half of 2009 after a year of declining output. The major exception to the favorable economic data was employment—job losses continued to mount and the unemployment rate remained persistently elevated throughout the 12-month period.
Stocks also got a lift from corporate earnings, which consistently exceeded expectations during the reporting period. The improvement in corporate profits occurred despite flat-to-declining revenues as businesses managed their cost structure more effectively, successfully lowering expenses.
Better economic data and rising corporate profits helped the stock market bounce back sharply throughout the reporting period, producing tremendous gains—the broad stock indexes delivered returns of more than 50% for the 12 months. Mid-cap stocks posted the best results, followed by small-and large-cap shares, while value-oriented issues outpaced growth across all market capitalizations.
Bumps in the Road
Although we appear to be on a path to economic recovery, there are still likely to be bumps in the road before we can put the Great Recession firmly behind us. We are still facing an unemployment rate near 10%, a fragile financial sector, and enormous fiscal deficits. In addition, consumers and businesses are continuing to deleverage, which is likely to limit any improvements in retail and corporate spending. As a result, we expect a slower and longer road to prosperity than in past recoveries.

Real Estate
Portfolio Manager: Steven Brown
Performance Summary
The Real Estate fund posted a total return of 107.30%* for the 12 months ended March 31, 2010. It was the fund’s best fiscal-year return ever. By comparison, the Morgan Stanley Capital International US REIT Index (the fund’s benchmark) returned 110.46%, while the S&P 500 Index** (a broad stock market measure) returned 49.77%.
REIT Market Overview
As the triple-digit returns of the fund and its benchmark index indicate, real estate investment trusts (REITs) enjoyed one of the strongest 12-month performances in the history of the asset class. In late 2008 and early 2009, a severe economic downturn and a liquidity crisis in the credit markets sent REITs down sharply. By the beginning of the reporting period, many were trading at 40–50% discounts to their underlying property values. Since then, however, REITs staged a tremendous rebound as evidence of a burgeoning economic recovery gained momentum.
REITs also benefited from their ability to raise capital. In the spring of 2009, many REITs issued equity to help pay off near-term debt maturities. As the credit markets began to thaw in the second half of 2009, REITs were able to refinance existing debt and raise additional capital. As a result, the most highly leveraged REITs—which were hit hardest in the downturn—generated the best returns during the recovery. This dynamic provided a strong boost to smaller-cap REITs, which outperformed mid- and large-cap REITs for the 12-month period.
All segments of the REIT market posted robust returns during the period, but the top performers were those with the greatest economic sensitivity, such as hotels and regional shopping malls. In contrast, the more-defensive health care segment lagged the overall REIT market.
Portfolio Positioning
Despite a return of more than 107% for the reporting period, the Real Estate fund trailed the performance of its benchmark index. The primary factor behind this underperformance was our emphasis on the larger-cap segment of the REIT market, which meant the fund had limited exposure to the smaller-cap REITs that were the performance leaders for the 12-month period.

Real Estate
On the positive side, we participated in many recovery stories during the period. As it became clear that the worst of the economic downturn was behind us, we shifted into more cyclical REITs that were poised to benefit from an economic recovery. In particular, we added a number of hotel REITs and regional mall REITs, which tend to have the most economic sensitivity. We also gradually increased our exposure to smaller-cap REITs, with a focus on those trading at discounts to their underlying property values.
Winners and Losers
Stock selection among office and apartment REITs had a negative impact on performance versus the benchmark. The biggest individual detractors were defensive REITs that held up well during the downturn but lagged during the rebound. Examples included Digital Realty Trust, which runs computer-data centers for corporations, and American Campus Communities, which owns and operates student housing properties.
Stock selection was most successful among retail REITs, led by Kimco Realty and Macerich. Kimco, which owns primarily strip malls, benefited from efforts to strengthen its balance sheet as the company issued equity and used the proceeds to reduce debt. Macerich also raised capital to pay down debt, and its ownership of regional shopping malls contributed to its strong return.
A Look Ahead
The investment opportunity set for 2010 continues to improve. We believe that the U.S. economy will grow by 3–4% this year. As a result, we are focusing our investments on real estate with short-duration leases, such as hotels, self-storage facilities, and apartments.
Improvement in the debt markets has also been a positive factor for REITs. Many financial institutions have returned to lending for commercial real estate, and the growth in lending activity has increased the value of many types of commercial real estate. REITs with sizable levels of debt—which had been a negative factor—are now in better negotiating positions with their lenders.
In addition, commercial real estate continues to trade at a discount to replacement value, and REITs are particularly well suited to take advantage of acquisition opportunities because of their access to the capital markets and relatively intact management teams. We are emphasizing publicly traded real estate companies that have been active in acquiring properties.
Many studies indicate that net commercial construction activity will average less than 1% a year between 2010 and 2012, while demand growth over this period is expected to average more than 2% annually. This bodes well for rising occupancy levels, which would likely be followed by higher rental rates. We are investing in REITs that have the strong potential for upward movement in leasing rates.
Finally, the promising outlook for the REIT market gives us confidence that we will see a resumption of dividend growth, which in the past has averaged approximately 4% annually.

Shareholder Fee Example (Unaudited) |
Fund shareholders may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and redemption/ exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service (12b-1) fees; and other fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in your fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing cost of investing in other mutual funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from October 1, 2009 to March 31, 2010.
Actual Expenses
The table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses for each class. You may use the information, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. First, identify the share class you own. Then simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
If you hold Investor Class shares of any American Century Investments fund, or Institutional Class shares of the American Century Diversified Bond Fund, in an American Century Investments account (i.e., not a financial intermediary or retirement plan account), American Century Investments may charge you a $12.50 semiannual account maintenance fee if the value of those shares is less than $10,000. We will redeem shares automatically in one of your accounts to pay the $12.50 fee. In determining your total eligible investment amount, we will include your investments in all personal accounts (including American Century Investments Brokerage accounts) registered under your Social Security number. Personal accounts include individual accounts, joint accounts, UGMA/UTMA accounts, personal trusts, Coverdell Education Savings Accounts and IRAs (including traditional, Roth, Rollover, SEP-, SARSEP- and SIMPLE-IRAs), and certain other retirement accounts. If you have only business, business retirement, employer-sponsored or American Century Investments Brokerage accounts, you are currently not subject to this fee. We will not charge the fee as long as you choose to manage your accounts exclusively online. If you are subject to the Account Maintenance Fee, your account value could be reduced by the fee amount.
10
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The table also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual expense ratio of each class of your fund and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the actual return of a fund’s share class. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption/exchange fees. Therefore, the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

MARCH 31, 2010
1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Organization — American Century Capital Portfolios, Inc. (the corporation) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the 1940 Act) as an open-end management investment company. Real Estate Fund (the fund) is one fund in a series issued by the corporation. The fund is nondiversified under the 1940 Act. The fund’s investment objective is to seek high total investment return through a combination of capital appreciation and current income. The fund pursues its objective by investing primarily in securities issued by real estate investment trusts and in the securities of companies which are principally engaged in the real estate industry. The following is a summary of the fund’s significant accounting policies.
Multiple Class — The fund is authorized to issue the Investor Class, the Institutional Class, the A Class, the B Class, the C Class and the R Class. The A Class may incur an initial sales charge. The A Class, B Class and C Class may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge. The share classes differ principally in their respective distribution and shareholder servicing expenses and arrangements. All shares of the fund represent an equal pro rata interest in the net assets of the class to which such shares belong, and have identical voting, dividend, liquidation and other rights and the same terms and conditions, except for class specific expenses and exclusive rights to vote on matters affecting only individual classes. Income, non-class specific expenses, and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses of the fun d are allocated to each class of shares based on their relative net assets.
Security Valuations — Securities traded primarily on a principal securities exchange are valued at the last reported sales price, or at the mean of the latest bid and asked prices where no last sales price is available. Depending on local convention or regulation, securities traded over-the-counter are valued at the mean of the latest bid and asked prices, the last sales price, or the official close price. Investments in open-end management investment companies are valued at the reported net asset value. Debt securities not traded on a principal securities exchange are valued through a commercial pricing service or at the mean of the most recent bid and asked prices. Discount notes may be valued through a commercial pricing service or at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. Securities traded on foreign securities ex changes and over-the-counter markets are normally completed before the close of business on days that the New York Stock Exchange (the Exchange) is open and may also take place on days when the Exchange is not open. If an event occurs after the value of a security was established but before the net asset value per share was determined that was likely to materially change the net asset value, that security would be valued as determined in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Directors. If the fund determines that the market price of a portfolio security is not readily available, or that the valuation methods mentioned above do not reflect the security’s fair value, such security is valued as determined by the Board of Directors or its designee, in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Directors, if such determination would materially impact a fund’s net asset value. Certain other circumstances may cause the fund to use alternative procedures to value a security such as a s ecurity has been declared in default; trading in a security has been halted during the trading day; or there is a foreign market holiday and no trading will commence.
Security Transactions — For financial reporting purposes, security transactions are accounted for as of the trade date. Net realized gains and losses are determined on the identified cost basis, which is also used for federal income tax purposes.
Investment Income — Dividend income less foreign taxes withheld, if any, is recorded as of the ex-dividend date. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. The fund estimates the components of distributions received that may be considered nontaxable distributions or capital gain distributions for income tax purposes. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis and includes accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums.
18
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 certain expenses are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. For assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities, net realized and unrealized gains and losses from foreign currency translations arise from changes in currency exchange rates.
Net realized and unrealized foreign currency exchange gains or losses occurring during the holding period of investment securities are a component of net realized gain (loss) on investment transactions and net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments, respectively. Certain countries may impose taxes on the contract amount of purchases and sales of foreign currency contracts in their currency. The fund records the foreign tax expense, if any, as a reduction to the net realized gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions.
When-Issued — The fund may engage in securities transactions on a when-issued basis. Under these arrangements, the securities’ prices and yields are fixed on the date of the commitment, but payment and delivery are scheduled for a future date. During this period, securities are subject to market fluctuations. The fund will segregate cash, cash equivalents or other appropriate liquid securities on its records in amounts sufficient to meet the purchase price.
Repurchase Agreements — The fund may enter into repurchase agreements with institutions that American Century Investment Management, Inc. (ACIM) (the investment advisor) has determined are creditworthy pursuant to criteria adopted by the Board of Directors. Each repurchase agreement is recorded at cost. The fund requires that the collateral, represented by securities, received in a repurchase transaction be transferred to the custodian in a manner sufficient to enable the fund to obtain those securities in the event of a default under the repurchase agreement. ACIM monitors, on a daily basis, the securities transferred to ensure the value, including accrued interest, of the securities under each repurchase agreement is equal to or greater than amounts owed to the fund under each repurchase agreement.
Joint Trading Account — Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the fund, along with certain other funds in the American Century Investments family of funds, may transfer uninvested cash balances into a joint trading account. These balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Agency obligations.
Income Tax Status — It is the fund’s policy to distribute substantially all net investment income and net realized gains to shareholders and to otherwise qualify as a regulated investment company under provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. The fund is no longer subject to examination by tax authorities for years prior to 2007. At this time, management believes there are no uncertain tax positions which, based on their technical merit, would not be sustained upon examination and for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. Accordingly, no provision has been made for federal or state income taxes.
Distributions to Shareholders — Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions from net investment income are declared and paid quarterly. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are generally declared and paid annually.
Indemnifications — Under the corporation’s organizational documents, its officers and directors are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the fund. In addition, in the normal course of business, the fund enters into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The 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.
19
Use of Estimates — The financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which may require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Subsequent Events — In preparing the financial statements, management evaluated the impact of events or transactions occurring through the date the financial statements were issued that would merit recognition or disclosure.
2. Fees and Transactions with Related Parties
Management Fees — The corporation has entered into a Management Agreement with ACIM, under which ACIM provides the fund with investment advisory and management services in exchange for a single, unified management fee (the fee) per class. The Agreement provides that all expenses of managing and operating the fund, except 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 the daily net assets of the specific class of shares of the fund and paid monthly in arrears. For funds with a stepped fee schedule, the rate of the fee is determined by applying a fee rate calculation formula. This formula takes into account the fund’s assets as well as certain assets, if a ny, of other clients of the investment advisor outside the American Century Investments family of funds (such as subadvised funds and separate accounts) that have very similar investment teams and investment strategies (strategy assets). The annual management fee schedule for the fund ranges from 1.05% to 1.20% for the Investor Class, A Class, B Class, C Class and R Class. The Institutional Class is 0.20% less at each point within the range. The effective annual management fee for each class of the fund for the year ended March 31, 2010 was 0.96% for the Institutional Class and 1.16% for the Investor Class, A Class, B Class, C Class and R 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, B Class, C Class and R Class (collectively the plans), pursuant to Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act. The plans provide that the A Class will pay American Century Investment Services, Inc. (ACIS) an annual distribution and service fee of 0.25%. The plans provide that the B Class and the C Class will each pay ACIS an annual distribution fee of 0.75% and service fee of 0.25%. The plans provide that the R Class will pay ACIS an annual distribution and service fee of 0.50%. The fees are computed and accrued daily based on each class’s daily net assets and paid monthly in arrears. The fees are used to pay financial intermediaries for distribution and individual shareh older services. Fees incurred under the plan during the year ended March 31, 2010, 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 parent of the corporation’s investment advisor, ACIM, the distributor of the corporation, ACIS, and the corporation’s transfer agent, American Century Services, LLC.
The fund is eligible to invest in a money market fund for temporary purposes, which is managed by J.P. Morgan Investment Management, Inc. (JPMIM). The fund has a Mutual Funds Services Agreement with J.P. Morgan Investor Services Co. (JPMIS) and a securities lending agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank (JPMCB). JPMCB is a custodian of the fund. JPMIM, JPMIS and JPMCB are wholly owned subsidiaries of JPMorgan Chase & Co. (JPM). JPM is an equity investor in ACC.

5. Affiliated Company Transactions
If a fund’s holding represents ownership of 5% or more of the voting securities of a company, the company is affiliated as defined in the 1940 Act. A summary of transactions for each company which is or was an affiliate at or during the year ended March 31, 2010, follows:
| | | | | | | |
March 31, 2009 | | | | | March 31, 2010 |
| Share | Purchases | Sales | Realized | Dividend | Share | Market |
Company | Balance | Cost | Cost | Gain (Loss) | Income | Balance | Value |
Parkway Properties, Inc.(1) | — | $13,367,936 | $13,367,936 | ($715,497) | $173,680 | — | —(1) |
(1) Company not an affiliate at March 31, 2010. | | | | | |
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 significant 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 significant unobservable inputs (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 an indication of the risks associated with investing in these securities or other financial instruments.
The following is a summary of the valuation inputs used to determine the fair value of the fund’s securities as of March 31, 2010. The Schedule of Investments provides additional details on the fund’s portfolio holdings.

| Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 |

Total Value of Investment Securities | $928,638,110 | $2,908,173 | — |
7. Risk Factors
The fund concentrates its investments in a narrow segment of the total market. Because of this, the fund is subject to certain additional risks as compared to investing in a more diversified portfolio of investments. The fund may be subject to certain risks similar to those associated with direct investment in real estate including but not limited to: local or regional economic conditions, changes in zoning laws, changes in property values, property tax increases, overbuilding, increased competition, environmental contamination, natural disasters, and interest rate risk.

8. Interfund Lending
The fund, along with certain other funds in the American Century Investments family of funds, may participate in an interfund lending program, pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). This program provides an alternative credit facility allowing the fund to borrow from or lend to other funds in the American Century Investments family of funds that permit such transactions. Interfund lending transactions are subject to each fund’s investment policies and borrowing and lending limits. The interfund loan rate earned/paid on interfund lending transactions is determined daily based on the average of certain current market rates. Interfund lending transactions normally extend only overnight, but can have a maximum duration of seven days. The program is subject to annual approval by the Board of Directors. During the year ended March 31, 2010, the fund did not utilize th e program.
9. Federal Tax Information
The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended March 31, 2010 and March 31, 2009 were as follows:
| | |
| 2010 | 2009 |
Distributions Paid From | | |
Ordinary income | $19,550,825 | $27,025,737 |
Long-term capital gains | — | $67,437 |
The book-basis character of distributions made during the year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. These differences reflect the differing character of certain income items and net realized gains and losses for financial statement and tax purposes, and may result in reclassification among certain capital accounts on the financial statements.
As of March 31, 2010, the federal tax cost of investments and the components of distributable earnings on a tax-basis were as follows:
| |
Federal tax cost of investments | $762,350,099 |
Gross tax appreciation of investments | $173,323,057 |
Gross tax depreciation of investments | (4,126,873) |
Net tax appreciation (depreciation) of investments | $169,196,184 |
Net tax appreciation (depreciation) on derivatives and translation of assets | |
and liabilities in foreign currencies | $ 847 |
Net tax appreciation (depreciation) | $169,197,031 |
Undistributed ordinary income | $959,281 |
Accumulated capital losses | $(676,594,036) |
Capital loss deferral | $(502,405) |
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales.
The accumulated capital losses listed above represent net capital loss carryovers that may be used to offset future realized capital gains for federal income tax purposes. Future capital loss carryover utilization in any given year may be subject to Internal Revenue Code limitations. The capital loss carryovers of $(206,620,499) and $(469,973,537) expire in 2017 and 2018, respectively.
The capital loss deferrals listed above represent net capital losses incurred in the five-month period ended March 31, 2010. The fund has elected to treat such losses as having been incurred in the following fiscal year for federal income tax purposes.

10. Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In March 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Section 815-10 (formerly Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities —an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133”). ASC Section 815-10 is effective for interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008 and has been adopted by the fund. ASC Section 815-10 amends and expands disclosures about derivative instruments and hedging activities. ASC Section 815-10 requires qualitative disclosures about the objectives and strategies of derivative instruments, quantitative disclosures about the fair value amounts of and gains and losses on derivative instruments, and disclosures of credit-risk-related contingent features in hedging activities.
11. Corporate Event
As part of a long-standing estate and business succession plan established by ACC Co-Chairman James E. Stowers, Jr., the founder of American Century Investments, ACC Co-Chairman Richard W. Brown succeeded Mr. Stowers as trustee of a trust that holds a greater-than-25% voting interest in ACC, the parent corporation of the fund’s advisor. Under the 1940 Act, this is presumed to represent control of ACC even though it is less than a majority interest. The change of trustee may technically be considered a “change of control” of ACC and therefore also a change of control of the fund’s advisor even though there has been no change to their management and none is anticipated. The “change of control” resulted in the assignment of the fund’s investment advisory agreement. Under the 1940 Act, an assignment automatically terminated such agreement, making the approval of a new agreement nec essary.
On February 18, 2010, the Board of Directors approved interim investment advisory agreements under which each fund will be managed until new agreements are approved by fund shareholders. On March 29, 2010, the Board of Directors approved new investment advisory agreements. The interim agreements and the new agreements are substantially identical to the terminated agreements (with the exception of different effective and termination dates) and will not result in changes in the management of American Century Investments, the funds, their investment objectives, fees or services provided. The new agreements have been submitted to shareholders for approval at a Special Meeting of Shareholders to be held on June 16, 2010.
12. Other Tax Information (Unaudited)
The following information is provided pursuant to provisions of the Internal Revenue Code.
The fund hereby designates up to the maximum amount allowable as qualified dividend income for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010.
For corporate taxpayers, the fund hereby designates $38,667, or up to the maximum amount allowable, of ordinary income distributions paid during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010 as qualified for the corporate dividends received deduction.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm |
The Board of Directors and Shareholders,
American Century Capital Portfolios, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of Real Estate Fund, one of the mutual funds constituting American Century Capital Portfolios, Inc. (the “Corporation”), as of March 31, 2010, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Corporation’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Corporation is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing t he accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of March 31, 2010, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Real Estate Fund of American Century Capital Portfolios, Inc. as of March 31, 2010, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The Board of Directors
The individuals listed below serve as directors of the fund. Each director will continue to serve in this capacity until death, retirement, resignation or removal from office. The mandatory retirement age for directors who are not “interested persons,” as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act (independent directors), is 72. However, the mandatory retirement age may be extended or changed with the approval of the remaining independent directors.
Mr. Thomas is the only director who is an “interested person” because he currently serves as President and Chief Executive Officer of American Century Companies, Inc. (ACC), the parent company of American Century Investment Management, Inc. (ACIM) and American Century Global Investment Management, Inc. (ACGIM). ACIM and ACGIM are referred to collectively as the “advisors.”
The other directors (more than three-fourths of the total number) are independent; that is, they have never been employees, directors or officers of, and have no financial interest in, ACC or any of its wholly owned, direct or indirect, subsidiaries, including ACIM, ACGIM, American Century Investment Services, Inc. (ACIS) and American Century Services, LLC (ACS). The directors serve in this capacity for seven (in the case of Mr. Thomas, 15) registered investment companies in the American Century Investments family of funds.
The following presents additional information about the directors. The mailing address for each director is 4500 Main Street, Kansas City, Missouri 64111.

Board Approval of Management Agreements |
American Century Investment Management, Inc. (“ACIM” or the “Advisor”) currently serves as investment advisor to the Fund under an interim management agreement (the “Interim Management Agreement”) between the Advisor and the Fund approved by the Fund’s Board of Directors (the “Board”). The Advisor previously served as investment advisor to the Fund pursuant to a management agreement (the “Prior Management Agreement”) that terminated in accordance with its terms on February 16, 2010, as a result of a change of control of the Advisor’s parent company, American Century Companies, Inc. (“ACC”). The change in control occurred as the result of a change in the trustee of a trust created by James E. Stowers, Jr., the founder of American Century Investments, which holds shares representing a significant interest in ACC stock. Mr. Stowers previously serve d as the trustee of the trust. On February 16, 2010, Richard W. Brown, Co-Chairman of ACC with Mr. Stowers, became the trustee in accordance with the terms of the trust and Mr. Stowers’ long-standing estate and succession plan.
On February 18, 2010, the Board approved the Interim Management Agreement in accordance with Rule 15a-4 under the Investment Company Act to ensure continued management of the Fund by the Advisor after the termination of the Prior Management Agreement and until shareholder approval of a new management agreement (the “Proposed Management Agreement”) as required under the Act. The Board has approved the Proposed Management Agreement and has recommended its approval to shareholders. Fund shareholders are scheduled to consider approval of the Proposed Management Agreement at a meeting to be held on June 16, 2010.
The Interim Management Agreement and the Proposed Management Agreement are substantially identical to the Prior Management Agreement except for their effective dates and the termination provisions of the Interim Management Agreement. Under the Interim and Proposed Management Agreements, the Advisor will provide the same services to the Fund and receive the same compensation rate as under the Prior Management Agreement.
Basis for Board Approval of Interim Management Agreement
In considering the approval of the Interim Management Agreement, Rule 15a-4 requires the Board to approve the contract within ten business days of the termination of the prior agreement and to determine that the compensation to be received under the interim agreement is no greater than would have been received under the prior agreement. In connection with the approval, the Board noted that it oversees on a continuous basis and evaluates at its quarterly meetings, directly and through the committees of the Board, the nature and quality of significant services provided by the Advisor, the investment performance of the Fund, shareholder services, audit and compliance functions and a variety of other matters relating to the Fund’s operations.
In evaluating the Interim Management Agreement, the Board, assisted by the advice of its independent legal counsel, considered a number of factors in addition to those required by the rule with no one factor being determinative to its analysis. Among the factors considered by the Board were the circumstances and effect of the change of control, the fact that the Advisor will provide the same services and receive the same compensation rate as
36
under the Prior Management Agreements, and that the change of control did not result in a change of the personnel managing the Fund. Upon completion of its analysis, the Board approved the Interim Management Agreement, determining that the continued management of the Fund by the Advisor was in the best interests of the Fund and Fund shareholders.
Basis for Board Approval of Proposed Management Agreement
At a meeting held on March 29, 2010, after considering all information presented, the Board approved, and determined to recommend that shareholders approve, the Proposed Management Agreement. In connection with that approval, the Board requested and reviewed extensive data and information compiled by the Advisor and certain independent providers of evaluation data concerning the Fund and services provided to the Fund by the Advisor. The Board oversees on a continuous basis and evaluates at its quarterly meetings, directly and through the committees of the Board, the nature and quality of significant services provided by the Advisor, the investment performance of the Fund, shareholder services, audit and compliance functions and a variety of other matters relating to the Fund’s operations. The information considered and the discussions held at the meetings included, but were not limited to:
• the nature, extent and quality of investment management, shareholder services and other services provided to the Fund;
• the wide range of programs and services the Advisor provides to the Fund and its shareholders on a routine and non-routine basis;
• the compliance policies, procedures, and regulatory experience of the Advisor;
• data comparing the cost of owning the Fund to the cost of owning similar funds;
• the fact that there will be no changes to the fees, services, or personnel who provide such services as compared to the Prior Management Agreement;
• data comparing the Fund’s performance to appropriate benchmarks and/ or a peer group of other mutual funds with similar investment objectives and strategies;
• financial data showing the profitability of the Fund to the Advisor and the overall profitability of the Advisor;
• data comparing services provided and charges to the Fund with those for other non-fund investment management clients of the Advisor; and
• consideration of collateral or “fall-out” benefits derived by the Advisor from the management of the Fund and potential sharing of economies of scale in connection with the management of the Fund.
37
The Board also considered whether there was any reason for not continuing the existing arrangement with the Advisor. In particular, the Board recognized that shareholders may have invested in the Fund on the strength of the Advisor’s industry standing and reputation and in the expectation that the Advisor will have a continuing role in providing advisory services to the Fund.
The Board considered all of the information provided by the Advisor, the independent data providers, and the Board’s independent legal counsel, and evaluated such information for the Fund. The Board did not identify any single factor as being all-important or controlling, and each Board member may have attributed different levels of importance to different factors. In deciding to approve the Proposed Management Agreement under the terms ultimately determined by the Board to be appropriate, the Board based its decision on a number of factors, including the following:
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services — Generally. Under the Proposed Management Agreement, the Advisor is responsible for providing or arranging for all services necessary for the operation of the Fund. The Board noted that under the Proposed Management Agreement, the Advisor provides or arranges at its own expense a wide variety of services including:
• constructing and designing the Fund
• portfolio research and security selection
• initial capitalization/funding
• securities trading
• Fund administration
• custody of Fund assets
• daily valuation of the Fund’s portfolio
• shareholder servicing and transfer agency, including shareholder
confirmations, recordkeeping and communications
• legal services
• regulatory and portfolio compliance
• financial reporting
• marketing and distribution
The Board noted that many of these services have expanded over time both in terms of quantity and complexity in response to shareholder demands, competition in the industry, changing distribution channels and the changing regulatory environment.
38
Investment Management Services. The investment management services provided to the Fund are complex and provide Fund shareholders access to professional money management, instant diversification of their investments within an asset class, the opportunity to easily diversify among asset classes, and liquidity. As a part of its general oversight and in evaluating investment performance, the Board expects the Advisor to manage the Fund in accordance with its investment objectives and approved strategies. In providing these services, the Advisor utilizes teams of investment professionals who require extensive information technology, research, training, compliance and other systems to conduct their business. The Board, directly and through its Fund Performance Review Committee, regularly reviews investment performance information f or the Fund, together with comparative information for appropriate benchmarks and/or peer groups of similarly-managed funds, over different time horizons. If performance concerns are identified, the underperforming Fund receives special reviews until performance improves, during which time the Board discusses with the Advisor the reasons for such underperformance and any efforts being undertaken to improve performance.
Shareholder and Other Services. Under the Proposed Management Agreement, the Advisor will also provide the Fund with a comprehensive package of transfer agency, shareholder, and other services. The Board, directly and through the various committees of the Board, regularly reviews reports and evaluations of such services. These reports include, but are not limited to, information regarding the operational efficiency and accuracy of the shareholder and transfer agency services provided, staffing levels, shareholder satisfaction (as measured by external as well as internal sources), technology support, new products and services offered to Fund shareholders, securities trading activities, portfolio valuation services, auditing services, and legal and operational compliance activities. Certain aspects of shareholder and transfer ag ency service level efficiency and the quality of securities trading activities are measured by independent third party providers and are presented in comparison to other fund groups not managed by the Advisor.
Costs of Services Provided and Profitability. The Advisor provided detailed information concerning its cost of providing various services to the Fund, its profitability in managing the Fund, its overall profitability, and its financial condition. The Board reviewed with the Advisor the methodology used to prepare this financial information. The Board has also reviewed with the Advisor its methodology for compensating the investment professionals that provide services to the Fund as well as compensation to the five highest paid personnel of the Advisor. This financial information regarding the Advisor is considered in order to evaluate the Advisor’s financial condition, its ability to continue to provide services under the Proposed Management Agreement, and the reasonableness of the proposed management fees. The Board conc luded that the Advisor’s profits were reasonable in light of the services provided to the Fund.
39
Ethics. The Board generally considers the Advisor’s commitment to providing quality services to shareholders and to conducting its business ethically. It noted that the Advisor’s practices generally meet or exceed industry best practices.
Economies of Scale. The Board also reviewed information provided by the Advisor regarding the possible existence of economies of scale in connection with the management of the Fund. The Board concluded that economies of scale are difficult to measure and predict with precision, especially on a fund-by-fund basis. The analysis of economies of scale is further complicated by the additional services and content provided by the Advisor and its reinvestment in its ability to provide and expand those services. Accordingly, the Board seeks to evaluate economies of scale by reviewing information, such as year-over-year profitability of the Advisor generally, the profitability of its management of the Fund specifically, and the expenses incurred by the Advisor in providing various functions to the Fund. The Board believes the Advisor i s appropriately sharing economies of scale through its competitive fee structure, offering competitive fees from fund inception, fee breakpoints as the Fund increases in size, and through reinvestment in its business to provide shareholders additional services and enhancements to existing services.
Comparison to Fees of Funds not Managed by the Advisor. Both the Prior and Proposed Management Agreements provide that the Fund pays the Advisor a single, all-inclusive (or unified) management fee for providing all services necessary for the management and operation of the Fund, other than brokerage expenses, taxes, interest, extraordinary expenses, and the fees and expenses of the Fund’s Independent Trustees (including their independent legal counsel) and expenses incurred in connection with the provision of shareholder services and distribution services under a plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Under the unified fee structure, the Advisor is responsible for providing all investment advisory, custody, audit, administrative, compliance, recordkeeping, marketing and shareholder services, or arranging and supervising third parties that provide such services. By contrast, most other funds are charged a variety of fees, including an investment advisory fee, a transfer agency fee, an administrative fee, distribution charges and other expenses. Other than their investment advisory fees and any applicable Rule 12b-1 distribution fees, the components of the total fees charged by these other funds may be increased without shareholder approval. The Board believes the unified fee structure is a benefit to Fund shareholders because it clearly discloses to shareholders the cost of owning Fund shares, and, since the unified fee cannot be increased without a vote of Fund shareholders, it shifts to the Advisor the risk of increased costs of operating the Fund and provides a direct incentive to minimize administrative inefficiencies. Part of the Board’s analysis of fee levels involves reviewing certain evaluative data compiled by an independent provider comparing the Fund’s unified fee to the total expense rat ios of similar funds not managed by the Advisor. The Board concluded that the management fee to be paid by the Fund to the Advisor under the Proposed Management Agreement is reasonable in light of the services to be provided to the Fund.
40
Comparison to Fees and Services Provided to Other Clients of the Advisor. The Board also requested and received information from the Advisor concerning the nature and extent of the services, fees, and profitability of its advisory services to advisory clients other than the Fund. They observed that these varying types of client accounts require different services and involve different regulatory and entrepreneurial risks than the management of the Fund. The Board analyzed this information and concluded that the fees charged and services provided to the Fund were reasonable by comparison.
Collateral or “Fall-Out” Benefits Derived by the Advisor. The Board considered the existence of collateral benefits the Advisor may receive as a result of its relationship with the Fund. The Board concluded that the Advisor’s primary business is managing mutual funds and it generally does not use Fund or shareholder information to generate profits in other lines of business, and therefore does not derive any significant collateral benefits from them. The Board noted that the Advisor receives proprietary research from broker-dealers that execute Fund portfolio transactions and concluded that this research is likely to benefit Fund shareholders. The Board also determined that the Advisor is able to provide investment management services to certain clients other than the Fund, at least in part, due to its existing infrastructure built to serve the fund complex. The Board concluded, however, that the assets of those other clients are not material to the analysis and, in any event, are included with the assets of the Fund to determine breakpoints in the Fund’s fee schedule, provided they are managed using the same investment team and strategy.
Conclusion of the Board. As a result of this process, the Board, in the absence of particular circumstances and assisted by the advice of its independent legal counsel, taking into account all of the factors discussed above and the information provided by the Advisor and others, concluded that the Proposed Management Agreement be approved and recommended its approval to Fund shareholders.

Independent Chairman’s Letter |

Fellow Shareholders,
The principal event at a recent board meeting was the retirement of Jim Stowers, Jr. from the American Century Mutual Funds Kansas City board. This was one of those times when you felt like you were living a historical moment. Jim founded what was known as Twentieth Century Mutual Funds over 50 years ago. Through the years, his number one priority has been to “Put Investors First!” The board presented Jim with a resolution acknowledging that, by building a successful investment company, he has impacted the lives of many by helping them on the path to financial success.
We respect Jim’s decision to focus his energy on the Stowers Institute for Medical Research and American Century Companies, Inc. (ACC), the parent company of the funds’ investment advisors. The pioneering medical research that Jim and his wife Virginia have made possible through the Institute should enrich the lives of millions in the future.
Shortly after his retirement from the board, we received word that Jim—who celebrated his 86th birthday in January—was hospitalized after experiencing a fall during his regular exercise regimen. While Jim has made steady progress toward recovery, this potentially serious incident resulted in the activation of his long-standing estate and business succession plan. Under the terms of the plan, ACC’s co-chairman Richard W. Brown succeeded Jim as trustee of a trust that holds a significant interest in ACC stock. While less than a majority interest, the trust is presumed to control the funds’ investment advisors under the Investment Company Act of 1940. This change triggered the need for a shareholder proxy to approve new management and subadvisory agreements for the funds. If you have not already responded, I encourage you to take the time to read the proxy materials and send your vote as soon as p ossible.
On behalf of the board, I want to once again thank Jim for his mutual fund board service and wish him a speedy recovery. More than three years ago, Jim and Richard Brown installed a strong and effective leadership team at American Century Investments and I look forward to continuing to work with them on behalf of fund shareholders. And while Jim no longer sits on the fund board, the inherent optimism captured by his favorite catch phrase—“The best is yet to be”—still resonates with all of us who have the privilege of serving you. I invite you to send your comments, questions or concerns to me at dhpratt@fundboardchair.com.

By Phil Davidson, Chief Investment Officer, U.S. Value Equity
Stocks Enjoyed Bountiful Recovery
The U.S. stock market gained approximately 50% for the year ended March 31, 2010—one of its best 12-month returns in the last three decades. The key factor behind the remarkable rally in stocks was increasing confidence in a potential economic recovery.
The period began as the U.S. economy was beginning to emerge from its worst downturn since the Great Depression. Signs of economic improvement—including a pickup in industrial production, rising retail sales, and signals that the housing sector was starting to stabilize—gained momentum throughout the 12-month period, helping the U.S. economy post positive growth in the third and fourth quarters of 2009. The exception was job growth—the unemployment rate rose to its highest level since 1983 before falling back slightly toward the end of the reporting period.
Better-than-expected corporate profits also provided a boost to stocks despite sluggish revenue growth. Aggressive cost-cutting strategies across much of corporate America helped profits remain on an upward trajectory.
Value Stocks Led the Rally
Value stocks led the market’s advance, outperforming growth shares across all market capitalizations (see the table below). Many of the best-performing stocks were financially stressed companies that were able to stabilize their businesses and strengthen their balance sheets—characteristics that apply to value-oriented issues. In addition, the financial sector—a sizable component of the value universe—was one of the top-performing sectors in the equity market as many troubled financial firms were able to issue equity and deleverage.
Another recent development that has been favorable for value stocks is a resurgence of dividends. 2009 was the worst year on record for dividends in the U.S., where more than 800 companies reduced their dividend payouts by a total of $58 billion. However, in the first three months of 2010, income-oriented investors were rewarded with growing dividend payouts. In February alone, 47 companies in the S&P 500 increased their dividends or began paying them. Dividends play a central role in our efforts to reduce risk and increase total returns, and they also confirm the strength of a company’s earnings and cash flow.

Mid Cap Value
Portfolio Managers: Kevin Toney, Michael Liss, and Phil Davidson
Performance Summary
Mid Cap Value returned 57.68%* for the 12 months ended March 31, 2010. By comparison, the average return for Morningstar’s Mid Cap Value category** (its performance, like Mid Cap Value’s, reflects operating expenses) was 65.78%. The fund’s benchmark, the Russell Midcap Value Index (which does not include operating expenses), was up 72.41%.
As the performance figures above indicate, the stock market staged a remarkable comeback during the reporting period. Economic conditions improved (partly in response to government stimulus programs), corporate earnings were better than expected, and improving conditions in the capital markets helped the more highly leveraged or financially strapped companies. These factors led many investors to shift into riskier assets, and many of the period’s largest gains were made by the lower-quality businesses that fared the worst during the financial crisis. That situation was at odds with Mid Cap Value’s investment approach, which emphasizes higher-quality businesses with sound balance sheets. Nonetheless, the portfolio received positive contributions in absolute terms from all 10 of the sectors in which it was invested. On a relative basis, Mid Cap Value’s underperformance was more a result of what it did n’t own rather than what it did.
Mid Cap Value is carefully managed for long-term results. Since its inception on March 31, 2004, Mid Cap Value has produced an average annual return of 8.02%, topping the returns for that period for Morningstar’s Mid Cap Value category average and the Russell Midcap Value Index (see the performance information on pages 5 and 6 or in footnotes below).
Financials Slowed Results
The portfolio’s position in the financials sector was the largest source of underperformance versus the benchmark. Although financials contributed the most to Mid Cap Value’s return, conservative security selection restrained relative progress as companies with stressed balance sheets, many of which had appeared to be on the brink of bankruptcy only months earlier, outperformed stronger, higher-quality businesses. The portfolio was significantly underweight commercial banks, a segment that returned more than 67% to the benchmark.
The portfolio’s investments were concentrated in the less-volatile insurance and thrift names, many of which did not keep pace with other financial stocks during the low-quality rally. A top detractor was global insurance broker Marsh & McLennan Companies. Marsh does not have a credit-sensitive business model and we believe it is well-positioned to benefit

from regulatory changes and improving operating conditions. Another notable detractor was People’s United Financial, a conservatively run and well-capitalized thrift.
Consumer Discretionary Detracted
Relative performance was hampered by the combination of an underweight position and security selection in the consumer discretionary sector. Many of these stocks, which suffered steep declines as the recession took hold, rallied on optimism about a possible economic recovery and improving consumer sentiment. The portfolio did not own any media stocks, which outperformed as advertising revenues improved. It was also slowed by an underweight position in automakers. Mid Cap Value did not hold shares of Ford Motor, which rose nearly 378% during the period.
In addition, the portfolio was hindered by its investments in leisure stocks. A key detractor was International Speedway Corp. During the recession, the race track operator struggled with lower attendance at NASCAR events and a decline in corporate sponsorship.
Information Technology Contributed
The portfolio’s holdings in the information technology sector added to relative results. Many of these companies are tied more closely to their own product cycles and market opportunities than to broad economic or capital markets conditions. A key contributor was Emulex Corp., a maker of storage-networking equipment. Its share price rose dramatically on news of an unsolicited takeover bid from chipmaker Broadcom Corp. The stock remained elevated as Emulex resisted the takeover, urging shareholders to reject Broadcom’s offer on the grounds that it materially undervalued the company. Ultimately, Broadcom withdrew the offer.
Utilities Enhanced Performance
Security selection in utilities—the weakest sector in the benchmark—benefited the portfolio. Because of valuations and higher-risk business models, Mid Cap Value did not hold any independent power producers, one of the weakest performing segments within the sector. The portfolio’s underweight in multi-utilities was also advantageous.
Outlook
We continue to follow our disciplined, bottom-up process, selecting companies one at a time for the portfolio. As of March 31, 2010, we see opportunities in consumer staples, industrials, energy, and health care stocks, reflected by overweight positions in these sectors, relative to the benchmark. Our fundamental analysis and valuation work are also directing us toward smaller relative weightings in consumer discretionary, materials, and financials stocks.

Small Cap Value
Portfolio Managers: Ben Giele and James Pitman
Performance Summary
Small Cap Value returned 73.93%* for the 12 months ended March 31, 2010. By comparison, its benchmark, the Russell 2000 Value Index, returned 65.07%. The portfolio’s returns reflect operating expenses while the index’s returns do not. The Lipper Small-Cap Value Funds Index, which includes operating expenses, returned 69.02%.**
As the performance figures above indicate, the stock market staged a remarkable comeback during the reporting period. Economic conditions improved (partly in response to government stimulus programs), corporate earnings were better than expected, and improving conditions in the capital markets helped the more highly leveraged or financially strapped companies. These factors led many investors to shift into riskier assets, and many of the period’s largest gains were made by the lower-quality businesses that fared the worst during the financial crisis. Small company stocks posted significant gains during the period, while value stocks outperformed their growth counterparts. In this environment, Small Cap Value received positive results in absolute terms from all 10 of the sectors in which it was invested. On a relative basis, the portfolio’s outperformance was largely the result of effective security selec tion and our continued emphasis on less-risky businesses with sound balance sheets. Contributing most against the benchmark were investments in the financials, utilities, and consumer discretionary sectors. The portfolio’s position in the health care sector detracted.
Small Cap Value is carefully managed for long-term results. Since its inception on July 31, 1998, Small Cap Value has produced an average annual return of 11.79%, outpacing the returns of the Russell 2000 Value Index and the Lipper Small-Cap Value Funds Index for the same period (see performance information on pages 10 and 11 or in footnotes below).
Financials Enhanced Results
Security selection within the financials sector contributed significantly to relative performance. The rally in financials was centered in large banks and financial institutions, some of which had appeared to be on the brink of bankruptcy just months earlier. Although small-cap financials advanced as well, their shares lagged their large-cap counterparts.
The portfolio benefited from its investments in well-capitalized regional commercial banks. A notable contributor was Webster Financial Corp., a regional bank serving customers in southern New England and eastern New York state. Webster Financial has successfully raised capital to cover credit concerns and support its expansion plans.

Small Cap Value
Small Cap Value’s mix of capital markets firms was also advantageous. A top performer was Calamos Asset Management. During the market turmoil, Calamos’ share price had suffered in sympathy with other asset managers. As the environment improved, the company earned a profit, helped by investment gains.
Within the insurance segment, select holdings detracted. HCC Insurance Holdings, one of the portfolio’s largest positions, reported strong 2009 earnings, benefiting from its conservative underwriting, capital structure, and investment portfolio. Although the property casualty insurer provided positive returns, its shares did not keep pace with riskier names in the segment.
Utilities Contributed
The portfolio’s underweight in the utilities sector was another source of positive relative results. During difficult economic times, utilities stocks tend to be viewed as defensive investments. However, when the market rallied during the period, utilities turned in the weakest sector performance of the benchmark index.
Consumer Discretionary Added Value
An overweight in the consumer discretionary sector contributed to progress versus the benchmark. The portfolio benefited from security selection among media companies, which outperformed as the economy strengthened and advertising revenues improved.
Health Care Detracted
The portfolio’s position in health care detracted slightly. The health care sector provided an overall total return of more than 60% within the portfolio and the benchmark, but security selection ultimately dampened Small Cap Value’s performance. Among the detractors was Pharmaceutical Product Development, a contract research organization that provides drug discovery and development services. The company’s share price rose during the one-year reporting period, but did not keep pace with the broad health care sector.
Outlook
We continue to be bottom-up investment managers, building the portfolio one stock at a time, a process that results in exposure to market segments based on the attractiveness of individual companies in terms of their valuation and fundamentals. As of March 31, 2010, the portfolio is broadly diversified, with larger positions than the benchmark in the consumer discretionary, industrials, health care, and information technology sectors. Our fundamental analysis and valuation work is also directing us toward a smaller relative weighting in financials and utilities stocks.

Fund shareholders may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and redemption/ exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service (12b-1) fees; and other fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in your fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing cost of investing in other mutual funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from October 1, 2009 to March 31, 2010.
Actual Expenses
The table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses for each class. You may use the information, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. First, identify the share class you own. Then simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
If you hold Investor Class shares of any American Century Investments fund, or Institutional Class shares of the American Century Diversified Bond Fund, in an American Century Investments account (i.e., not a financial intermediary or retirement plan account), American Century Investments may charge you a $12.50 semiannual account maintenance fee if the value of those shares is less than $10,000. We will redeem shares automatically in one of your accounts to pay the $12.50 fee. In determining your total eligible investment amount, we will include your investments in all personal accounts (including American Century Investments Brokerage accounts) registered under your Social Security number. Personal accounts include individual accounts, joint accounts, UGMA/UTMA accounts, personal trusts, Coverdell Education Savings Accounts and IRAs (including traditional, Roth, Rollover, SEP-, SARSEP- and SIMPLE-IRAs), and certain other retirement accounts. If you have only business, business retirement, employer-sponsored or American Century Investments Brokerage accounts, you are currently not subject to this fee. We will not charge the fee as long as you choose to manage your accounts exclusively online. If you are subject to the Account Maintenance Fee, your account value could be reduced by the fee amount.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The table also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual expense ratio of each class of your fund and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the actual return of a fund’s share class. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption/exchange fees. Therefore, the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

(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 182, 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 based on actual return from March 1, 2010 (commencement of sale) through March 31, 2010. | |

MARCH 31, 2010
1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Organization — American Century Capital Portfolios, Inc. (the corporation) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the 1940 Act) as an open-end management investment company. Mid Cap Value Fund (Mid Cap Value) and Small Cap Value Fund (Small Cap Value) (collectively, the funds) are two funds in a series issued by the corporation. The funds are diversified under the 1940 Act. The funds’ investment objective is to seek long-term capital growth. The production of income is a secondary objective. Mid Cap Value pursues its investment objective by investing in stocks of mid-sized market capitalization companies that management believes to be undervalued at the time of purchase. Small Cap Value pursues its investment objective by investing in stocks of smaller market capitalization companies that management beli eves to be undervalued at the time of purchase. The following is a summary of the funds’ significant accounting policies.
Multiple Class — The funds are authorized to issue the Investor Class, the Institutional Class, the A Class (formerly Advisor Class), the 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 distribution and shareholder servicing expenses and arrangements. All shares of each fund represent an equal pro rata interest in the net assets of the class to which such shares belong, and have identical voting, dividend, liquidation and other rights and the same terms and conditions, except for class specific expenses and exclusive rights to vote on matters affecting only individual classes. Income, non-class specific expenses, and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses of t he funds are allocated to each class of shares based on their relative net assets. Sale of Mid Cap Value’s C Class commenced on March 1, 2010. Sale of Small Cap Value’s C Class and R Class commenced on March 1, 2010.
Security Valuations — Securities traded primarily on a principal securities exchange are valued at the last reported sales price, or at the mean of the latest bid and asked prices where no last sales price is available. Depending on local convention or regulation, securities traded over-the-counter are valued at the mean of the latest bid and asked prices, the last sales price, or the official close price. Investments in open-end management investment companies are valued at the reported net asset value. Debt securities not traded on a principal securities exchange are valued through a commercial pricing service or at the mean of the most recent bid and asked prices. Discount notes may be valued through a commercial pricing service or at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. Securities traded on foreign securities ex changes and over-the-counter markets are normally completed before the close of business on days that the New York Stock Exchange (the Exchange) is open and may also take place on days when the Exchange is not open. If an event occurs after the value of a security was established but before the net asset value per share was determined that was likely to materially change the net asset value, that security would be valued as determined in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Directors. If the funds determine that the market price of a portfolio security is not readily available, or that the valuation methods mentioned above do not reflect the security’s fair value, such security is valued as determined by the Board of Directors or its designee, in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Directors, if such determination would materially impact a fund’s net asset value. Certain other circumstances may cause the funds to use alternative procedures to value a security such as: a security has been declared in default; trading in a security has been halted during the trading day; or there is a foreign market holiday and no trading will commence.
Security Transactions — For financial reporting purposes, security transactions are accounted for as of the trade date. Net realized gains and losses are determined on the identified cost basis, which is also used for federal income tax purposes.
31
Investment Income — Dividend income less foreign taxes withheld, if any, is recorded as of the ex-dividend date. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. The funds estimate the components of distributions received that may be considered nontaxable distributions or capital gain distributions for income tax purposes. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis and includes accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums.
Exchange Traded Funds — The funds may invest in exchange traded funds (ETFs). ETFs are a type of index fund bought and sold on a securities exchange. An ETF trades like common stock and represents a fixed portfolio of securities designed to track the performance and dividend yield of a particular domestic or foreign market index. A fund may purchase an ETF to temporarily gain exposure to a portion of the U.S. or a foreign market while awaiting purchase of underlying securities. The risks of owning an ETF generally reflect the risks of owning the underlying securities they are designed to track, although the lack of liquidity on an ETF could result in it being more volatile. Additionally, ETFs have fees and expenses that reduce their value.
Business Development Companies — Small Cap Value may invest in securities of closed-end investment companies that have elected to be treated as a business development company under the 1940 Act. A business development company operates similar to an exchange traded fund and represents a portfolio of securities. Small Cap Value may purchase a business development company to gain exposure to the securities in the underlying portfolio. The risks of owning a business development company generally reflect the risks of owning the underlying securities. Business development companies have expenses that reduce their value.
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 funds 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 certain expenses are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. For assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities, net realized and unrealized gains and losses from foreign currency translations arise from changes in currency exchange rates.
Net realized and unrealized foreign currency exchange gains or losses occurring during the holding period of investment securities are a component of net realized gain (loss) on investment transactions and net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments, respectively. Certain countries may impose taxes on the contract amount of purchases and sales of foreign currency contracts in their currency. The funds record the foreign tax expense, if any, as a reduction to the net realized gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions.
Repurchase Agreements — The funds may enter into repurchase agreements with institutions that American Century Investment Management, Inc. (ACIM) (the investment advisor) has determined are creditworthy pursuant to criteria adopted by the Board of Directors. Each repurchase agreement is recorded at cost. Each fund requires that the collateral, represented by securities, received in a repurchase transaction be transferred to the custodian in a manner sufficient to enable each fund to obtain those securities in the event of a default under the repurchase agreement. ACIM monitors, on a daily basis, the securities transferred to ensure the value, including accrued interest, of the securities under each repurchase agreement is equal to or greater than amounts owed to each fund under each repurchase agreement.
32
Joint Trading Account — Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission, each fund, along with certain other funds in the American Century Investments family of funds, may transfer uninvested cash balances into a joint trading account. These balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Agency obligations.
Income Tax Status — It is each fund’s policy to distribute substantially all net investment income and net realized gains to shareholders and to otherwise qualify as a regulated investment company under provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. The funds are no longer subject to examination by tax authorities for years prior to 2007. At this time, management believes there are no uncertain tax positions which, based on their technical merit, would not be sustained upon examination and for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. Accordingly, no provision has been made for federal or state income taxes.
Distributions to Shareholders — Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions from net investment income are declared and paid quarterly. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are generally declared and paid annually.
Indemnifications — Under the corporation’s organizational documents, its officers and directors are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the funds. In addition, in the normal course of business, the funds enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The 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.
Use of Estimates — The financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which may require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Subsequent Events — In preparing the financial statements, management evaluated the impact of events or transactions occurring through the date the financial statements were issued that would merit recognition or disclosure.
2. Fees and Transactions with Related Parties
Management Fees — The corporation has entered into a Management Agreement with ACIM, under which ACIM provides the funds with investment advisory and management services in exchange for a single, unified management fee (the fee) per class. The Agreement provides that all expenses of managing and operating the funds, except 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 the daily net assets of each specific class of shares of each fund and paid monthly in arrears. For funds with a stepped fee schedule, the rate of the fee is determined by applying a fee rate calculation formula. This formula takes into account each fund’s assets as well as certain assets, if any, of other clients of the investment advisor outside the American Century Investments family of funds (such as subadvised funds and separate accounts) that have very similar investment teams and investment strategies (strategy assets). The annual management fee schedule for Mid Cap Value is 1.00%, 0.80%, 1.00%, 1.00% and 1.00% for the Investor Class, Institutional Class, A Class, C Class and R Class, respectively. The annual management fee schedule for Small Cap Value ranges from 1.00% to 1.25% for the Investor Class, A Class, C Class and R Class. The Institutional Class is 0.20% less at each point within the range for Small Cap Value.
33
The effective annual management fee for each class of each fund for the year ended March 31, 2010, was as follows:
| | |
| Investor, A, C & R | Institutional |
Mid Cap Value | 1.00% | 0.80% |
Small Cap Value | 1.25% | 1.05% |
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 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 fee of 0.75% and service fee of 0.25%. The plans provide that the R Class will pay ACIS an annual distribution and service fee of 0.50%. The fees are computed and accrued daily based on each class’s daily net assets and paid monthly in arrears. The fees are used to pay financial intermediaries for distribution and individual shareholder services. Fees incurred unde r the plans during the year ended March 31, 2010, are detailed in the Statement of Operations.
Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses — The funds may invest in mutual funds, exchange traded funds, and business development companies (the acquired funds). Each fund will indirectly realize its pro rata share of the fees and expenses of the acquired funds in which it invests. These indirect fees and expenses are not paid out of the fund’s assets but are reflected in the return realized by the fund on its investment in the acquired funds.
Related Parties — Certain officers and directors of the corporation are also officers and/ or directors of American Century Companies, Inc. (ACC), the parent of the corporation’s investment advisor, ACIM, the distributor of the corporation, ACIS, and the corporation’s transfer agent, American Century Services, LLC.
The funds are eligible to invest in a money market fund for temporary purposes, which is managed by J.P. Morgan Investment Management, Inc. (JPMIM). The funds have a Mutual Funds Services Agreement with J.P. Morgan Investor Services Co. (JPMIS) and a securities lending agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank (JPMCB). JPMCB is a custodian of the funds. JPMIM, JPMIS and JPMCB are wholly owned subsidiaries of JPMorgan Chase & Co. (JPM). JPM is an equity investor in ACC.

6. Fair Value Measurements
The funds’ securities valuation process is based on several considerations and may use multiple inputs to determine the fair value of the positions held by the funds. In conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the inputs used to determine a valuation are classified into three broad levels as follows:
• Level 1 valuation inputs consist of unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical securities;
• Level 2 valuation inputs consist of significant 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 significant unobservable inputs (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 an indication of the risks associated with investing in these securities or other financial instruments.
The following is a summary of the valuation inputs used to determine the fair value of the funds’ securities and other financial instruments as of March 31, 2010. The Schedule of Investments provides additional details on the funds’ portfolio holdings.

7. Derivative Instruments
Foreign Currency Risk — Mid Cap Value 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. The net U.S. dollar value of foreign currency underlying all contractual commitments held b y a fund and the resulting unrealized appreciation or depreciation are determined daily using prevailing exchange rates. 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 risk of loss from non-performance by the counterparty may be reduced by the use of master netting agreements. The foreign currency risk derivative instruments held at period end as disclosed on the Schedule of Investments are indicative of Mid Cap Valu e’s typical volume during the period
For Mid Cap Value, the value of foreign currency risk derivative instruments as of March 31, 2010, is disclosed on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as a liability of $43,125 in payable for forward foreign currency exchange contracts. For Mid Cap Value, for the year ended March 31, 2010, the effect of foreign currency risk derivative instruments on the Statement of Operations was $(1,172,710) in net realized gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions and $(73,069) in change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on translation of assets and liabilities in foreign currencies.
8. Risk Factors
There are certain risks involved in investing in foreign securities. These risks include those resulting from future adverse political, social, and economic development, fluctuations in currency exchange rates, the possible imposition of exchange controls, and other foreign laws and restrictions.
Small Cap Value generally invests in smaller companies which may be more volatile, and subject to greater short-term risk than those of larger companies. In addition, Small Cap Value’s performance may be affected by investments in initial public offerings (IPOs). The impact of IPOs on a fund’s performance depends on the strength of the IPO market and the size of the fund. IPOs may have less impact on a fund’s performance as its assets grow.
9. Interfund Lending
The funds, along with certain other funds in the American Century Investments family of funds, may participate in an interfund lending program, pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). This program provides an alternative credit facility allowing the funds to borrow from or lend to other funds in the American Century Investments family of funds that permit such transactions. Interfund lending transactions are subject to each fund’s investment policies and borrowing and lending limits. The interfund loan rate earned/paid on interfund lending transactions is determined daily based on the average of certain current market rates. Interfund lending transactions normally extend only overnight, but can have a maximum duration of seven days. The program is subject to annual approval by the Board of Directors. During the year ended March 31, 2010, the funds did not utilize the program.

10. Federal Tax Information
The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended March 31, 2010 and March 31, 2009 were as follows:
| | | | |
| Mid Cap Value | Small Cap Value |
| 2010 | 2009 | 2010 | 2009 |
Distributions Paid From | | | | |
Ordinary income | $6,280,977 | $5,980,282 | $24,080,646 | $22,252,662 |
Long-term capital gains | — | — | — | $1,394,191 |
The book-basis character of distributions made during the year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. These differences reflect the differing character of certain income items and net realized gains and losses for financial statement and tax purposes, and may result in reclassification among certain capital accounts on the financial statements.
As of March 31, 2010, the federal tax cost of investments and the components of distributable earnings on a tax-basis were as follows:
| | |
| Mid Cap Value | Small Cap Value |
Federal tax cost of investments | $580,932,625 | $1,742,575,150 |
Gross tax appreciation of investments | $67,614,080 | $278,856,478 |
Gross tax depreciation of investments | (6,990,384) | (41,294,442) |
Net tax appreciation (depreciation) of investments | $60,623,696 | $237,562,036 |
Net tax appreciation (depreciation) on derivatives and | | |
translation of assets and liabilities in foreign currencies | $2,022 | — |
Net tax appreciation (depreciation) | $60,625,718 | $237,562,036 |
Undistributed ordinary income | $900,994 | — |
Accumulated capital losses | $(45,531,078) | $(164,449,952) |
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales and the realization for tax purposes of unrealized gains (losses) on certain forward foreign currency exchange contracts.
The accumulated capital losses listed above represent net capital loss carryovers that may be used to offset future realized capital gains for federal income tax purposes. Future capital loss carryover utilization in any given year may be subject to Internal Revenue Code limitations. The capital loss carryovers expire as follows:
| | |
| 2017 | 2018 |
Mid Cap Value | $(37,541,838) | $(7,989,240) |
Small Cap Value | $(77,587,982) | $(86,861,970) |

11. Corporate Event
As part of a long-standing estate and business succession plan established by ACC Co-Chairman James E. Stowers, Jr., the founder of American Century Investments, ACC Co-Chairman Richard W. Brown succeeded Mr. Stowers as trustee of a trust that holds a greater-than-25% voting interest in ACC, the parent corporation of each fund’s advisor. Under the 1940 Act, this is presumed to represent control of ACC even though it is less than a majority interest. The change of trustee may technically be considered a “change of control” of ACC and therefore also a change of control of each fund’s advisor even though there has been no change to their management and none is anticipated. The “change of control” resulted in the assignment of each fund’s investment advisory agreement. Under the 1940 Act, an assignment automatically terminated such agreement, making the approval of a new agreement necessary.
On February 18, 2010, the Board of Directors approved interim investment advisory agreements under which each fund will be managed until new agreements are approved by fund shareholders. On March 29, 2010, the Board of Directors approved new investment advisory agreements. The interim agreements and the new agreements are substantially identical to the terminated agreements (with the exception of different effective and termination dates) and will not result in changes in the management of American Century Investments, the funds, their investment objectives, fees or services provided. The new agreements have been submitted to shareholders for approval at a Special Meeting of Shareholders to be held on June 16, 2010. Management agreements for new share classes of the funds that were launched after February 18, 2010 did not terminate, have not been replaced by interim agreements, and do not require approval of new agreements.
12. Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In March 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Section 815-10 (formerly Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities —an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133”). ASC Section 815-10 is effective for interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008 and has been adopted by the funds. ASC Section 815-10 amends and expands disclosures about derivative instruments and hedging activities. ASC Section 815-10 requires qualitative disclosures about the objectives and strategies of derivative instruments, quantitative disclosures about the fair value amounts of and gains and losses on derivative instruments, and disclosures of credit-risk-related contingent features in hedging activities.
13. Other Tax Information (Unaudited)
The following information is provided pursuant to provisions of the Internal Revenue Code.
The funds hereby designate up to the maximum amount allowable as qualified dividend income for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010.
For corporate taxpayers, Mid Cap Value and Small Cap Value hereby designate $6,280,977 and $24,080,646, respectively, or up to the maximum amount allowable, of ordinary income distributions paid during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010 as qualified for the corporate dividends received deduction.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm |
The Board of Directors and Shareholders,
American Century Capital Portfolios, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of Mid Cap Value Fund and Small Cap Value Fund, two of the mutual funds constituting American Century Capital Portfolios, Inc. (the “Corporation”), as of March 31, 2010, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the fiscal periods presented. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Corporation’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Corporation is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing t he accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of March 31, 2010, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial positions of Mid Cap Value Fund and Small Cap Value Fund, two of the mutual funds of American Century Capital Portfolios, Inc., as of March 31, 2010, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the fiscal periods presented, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The Board of Directors
The individuals listed below serve as directors of the funds. Each director will continue to serve in this capacity until death, retirement, resignation or removal from office. The mandatory retirement age for directors who are not “interested persons,” as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act (independent directors), is 72. However, the mandatory retirement age may be extended or changed with the approval of the remaining independent directors.
Mr. Thomas is the only director who is an “interested person” because he currently serves as President and Chief Executive Officer of American Century Companies, Inc. (ACC), the parent company of American Century Investment Management, Inc. (ACIM) and American Century Global Investment Management, Inc. (ACGIM). ACIM and ACGIM are referred to collectively as the “advisors.”
The other directors (more than three-fourths of the total number) are independent; that is, they have never been employees, directors or officers of, and have no financial interest in, ACC or any of its wholly owned, direct or indirect, subsidiaries, including ACIM, ACGIM, American Century Investment Services, Inc. (ACIS) and American Century Services, LLC (ACS). The directors serve in this capacity for seven (in the case of Mr. Thomas, 15) registered investment companies in the American Century Investments family of funds.

Board Approval of Management Agreements |
American Century Investment Management, Inc. (“ACIM” or the “Advisor”) currently serves as investment advisor to the Funds under an interim management agreement (the “Interim Management Agreement”) between the Advisor and the Funds approved by the Funds’ Board of Directors (the “Board”). The Advisor previously served as investment advisor to the Funds pursuant to a management agreement (the “Prior Management Agreement”) that terminated in accordance with its terms on February 16, 2010, as a result of a change of control of the Advisor’s parent company, American Century Companies, Inc. (“ACC”). The change in control occurred as the result of a change in the trustee of a trust created by James E. Stowers, Jr., the founder of American Century Investments, which holds shares representing a significant interest in ACC stock. Mr. Stowers previously se rved as the trustee of the trust. On February 16, 2010, Richard W. Brown, Co-Chairman of ACC with Mr. Stowers, became the trustee in accordance with the terms of the trust and Mr. Stowers’ long-standing estate and succession plan.
On February 18, 2010, the Board approved the Interim Management Agreement in accordance with Rule 15a-4 under the Investment Company Act to ensure continued management of the Funds by the Advisor after the termination of the Prior Management Agreement and until shareholder approval of a new management agreement (the “Proposed Management Agreement”) as required under the Act. The Board has approved the Proposed Management Agreement and has recommended its approval to shareholders. Fund shareholders are scheduled to consider approval of the Proposed Management Agreement at a meeting to be held on June 16, 2010.*
The Interim Management Agreement and the Proposed Management Agreement are substantially identical to the Prior Management Agreement except for their effective dates and the termination provisions of the Interim Management Agreement. Under the Interim and Proposed Management Agreements, the Advisor will provide the same services to the Funds and receive the same compensation rate as under the Prior Management Agreement.
Basis for Board Approval of Interim Management Agreement
In considering the approval of the Interim Management Agreement, Rule 15a-4 requires the Board to approve the contract within ten business days of the termination of the prior agreement and to determine that the compensation to be received under the interim agreement is no greater than would have been received under the prior agreement. In connection with the approval, the Board noted that it oversees on a continuous basis and evaluates at its quarterly meetings, directly and through the committees of the Board, the nature and quality of significant services provided by the Advisor, the investment performance of the Funds, shareholder services, audit and compliance functions and a variety of other matters relating to the Funds’ operations.
|
*Management agreements for new share classes of the Funds launched after February 16, 2010, did not terminate, have not been replaced by Interim |
Management Agreements, and do not require Board or shareholder approval at this time. |
56
In evaluating the Interim Management Agreement, the Board, assisted by the advice of its independent legal counsel, considered a number of factors in addition to those required by the rule with no one factor being determinative to its analysis. Among the factors considered by the Board were the circumstances and effect of the change of control, the fact that the Advisor will provide the same services and receive the same compensation rate as under the Prior Management Agreements, and that the change of control did not result in a change of the personnel managing the Funds. Upon completion of its analysis, the Board approved the Interim Management Agreement, determining that the continued management of the Funds by the Advisor was in the best interests of the Funds and Fund shareholders.
Basis for Board Approval of Proposed Management Agreement
At a meeting held on March 29, 2010, after considering all information presented, the Board approved, and determined to recommend that shareholders approve, the Proposed Management Agreement. In connection with that approval, the Board requested and reviewed extensive data and information compiled by the Advisor and certain independent providers of evaluation data concerning the Funds and services provided to the Funds by the Advisor. The Board oversees on a continuous basis and evaluates at its quarterly meetings, directly and through the committees of the Board, the nature and quality of significant services provided by the Advisor, the investment performance of the Funds, shareholder services, audit and compliance functions and a variety of other matters relating to the Funds’ operations. The information considered and the discussions held at the meetings included, but were not limited to:
• the nature, extent and quality of investment management, shareholder services and other services provided to the Funds;
• the wide range of programs and services the Advisor provides to the Funds and their shareholders on a routine and non-routine basis;
• the compliance policies, procedures, and regulatory experience of the Advisor;
• data comparing the cost of owning the Funds to the cost of owning similar funds;
• the fact that there will be no changes to the fees, services, or personnel who provide such services as compared to the Prior Management Agreement;
• data comparing the Funds’ performance to appropriate benchmarks and/ or a peer group of other mutual funds with similar investment objectives and strategies;
• financial data showing the profitability of the Funds to the Advisor and the overall profitability of the Advisor;
• data comparing services provided and charges to the Funds with those for other non-fund investment management clients of the Advisor; and
57
• consideration of collateral or “fall-out” benefits derived by the Advisor from the management of the Funds and potential sharing of economies of scale in connection with the management of the Funds.
The Board also considered whether there was any reason for not continuing the existing arrangement with the Advisor. In particular, the Board recognized that shareholders may have invested in the Funds on the strength of the Advisor’s industry standing and reputation and in the expectation that the Advisor will have a continuing role in providing advisory services to the Funds.
The Board considered all of the information provided by the Advisor, the independent data providers, and the Board’s independent legal counsel, and evaluated such information for each Fund. The Board did not identify any single factor as being all-important or controlling, and each Board member may have attributed different levels of importance to different factors. In deciding to approve the Proposed Management Agreement under the terms ultimately determined by the Board to be appropriate, the Board based its decision on a number of factors, including the following:
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services – Generally. Under the Proposed Management Agreement, the Advisor is responsible for providing or arranging for all services necessary for the operation of the Funds. The Board noted that under the Proposed Management Agreement, the Advisor provides or arranges at its own expense a wide variety of services including:
• constructing and designing the Funds
• portfolio research and security selection
• initial capitalization/funding
• securities trading
• Fund administration
• custody of Fund assets
• daily valuation of each Fund’s portfolio
• shareholder servicing and transfer agency, including shareholder confir-
mations, recordkeeping and communications
• legal services
• regulatory and portfolio compliance
• financial reporting
• marketing and distribution
58
The Board noted that many of these services have expanded over time both in terms of quantity and complexity in response to shareholder demands, competition in the industry, changing distribution channels and the changing regulatory environment.
Investment Management Services. The investment management services provided to the Funds are complex and provide Fund shareholders access to professional money management, instant diversification of their investments within an asset class, the opportunity to easily diversify among asset classes, and liquidity. As a part of its general oversight and in evaluating investment performance, the Board expects the Advisor to manage each Fund in accordance with its investment objectives and approved strategies. In providing these services, the Advisor utilizes teams of investment professionals who require extensive information technology, research, training, compliance and other systems to conduct their business. The Board, directly and through its Fund Performance Review Committee, regularly reviews investment performance information for each Fund, together with comparative information for appropriate benchmarks and/or peer groups of similarly-managed funds, over different time horizons. If performance concerns are identified, the underperforming Fund receives special reviews until performance improves, during which time the Board discusses with the Advisor the reasons for such underperformance and any efforts being undertaken to improve performance.
Shareholder and Other Services. Under the Proposed Management Agreement, the Advisor will also provide the Funds with a comprehensive package of transfer agency, shareholder, and other services. The Board, directly and through the various committees of the Board, regularly reviews reports and evaluations of such services. These reports include, but are not limited to, information regarding the operational efficiency and accuracy of the shareholder and transfer agency services provided, staffing levels, shareholder satisfaction (as measured by external as well as internal sources), technology support, new products and services offered to Fund shareholders, securities trading activities, portfolio valuation services, auditing services, and legal and operational compliance activities. Certain aspects of shareholder and transfer a gency service level efficiency and the quality of securities trading activities are measured by independent third party providers and are presented in comparison to other fund groups not managed by the Advisor.
Costs of Services Provided and Profitability. The Advisor provided detailed information concerning its cost of providing various services to the Funds, its profitability in managing the Funds, its overall profitability, and its financial condition. The Board reviewed with the Advisor the methodology used to prepare this financial information. The Board has also reviewed with the Advisor its methodology for compensating the investment professionals that provide services to the Funds as well as compensation to the five highest paid personnel of the Advisor. This financial information regarding the Advisor is considered in order to evaluate the Advisor’s financial condition, its ability to continue to provide services under the Proposed
59
Management Agreement, and the reasonableness of the proposed management fees. The Board concluded that the Advisor’s profits were reasonable in light of the services provided to the Funds.
Ethics. The Board generally considers the Advisor’s commitment to providing quality services to shareholders and to conducting its business ethically. It noted that the Advisor’s practices generally meet or exceed industry best practices.
Economies of Scale. The Board also reviewed information provided by the Advisor regarding the possible existence of economies of scale in connection with the management of the Funds. The Board concluded that economies of scale are difficult to measure and predict with precision, especially on a fund-by-fund basis. The analysis of economies of scale is further complicated by the additional services and content provided by the Advisor and its reinvestment in its ability to provide and expand those services. Accordingly, the Board seeks to evaluate economies of scale by reviewing information, such as year-over-year profitability of the Advisor generally, the profitability of its management of each Fund specifically, and the expenses incurred by the Advisor in providing various functions to the Funds. The Board believes the Adviso r is appropriately sharing economies of scale through its competitive fee structure, offering competitive fees from fund inception, fee breakpoints as each Fund increases in size, and through reinvestment in its business to provide shareholders additional services and enhancements to existing services.
Comparison to Fees of Funds not Managed by the Advisor. Both the Prior and Proposed Management Agreements provide that the Funds pay the Advisor a single, all-inclusive (or unified) management fee for providing all services necessary for the management and operation of the Funds, other than brokerage expenses, taxes, interest, extraordinary expenses, and the fees and expenses of the Funds’ Independent Trustees (including their independent legal counsel) and expenses incurred in connection with the provision of shareholder services and distribution services under a plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Under the unified fee structure, the Advisor is responsible for providing all investment advisory, custody, audit, administrative, compliance, recordkeeping, marketing and shareholder services, or arranging and supervising third parties that provide such services. By contrast, most other funds are charged a variety of fees, including an investment advisory fee, a transfer agency fee, an administrative fee, distribution charges and other expenses. Other than their investment advisory fees and any applicable Rule 12b-1 distribution fees, the components of the total fees charged by these other funds may be increased without shareholder approval. The Board believes the unified fee structure is a benefit to Fund shareholders because it clearly discloses to shareholders the cost of owning Fund shares, and, since the unified fee cannot be increased without a vote of Fund shareholders, it shifts to the Advisor the risk of increased costs of operating the Funds and provides a direct incentive to minimize administrative inefficiencies. Part of the Board’s analysis of fee levels involves
60
reviewing certain evaluative data compiled by an independent provider comparing each Fund’s unified fee to the total expense ratios of similar funds not managed by the Advisor. The Board concluded that the management fee to be paid by each Fund to the Advisor under the Proposed Management Agreement is reasonable in light of the services to be provided to the Fund.
Comparison to Fees and Services Provided to Other Clients of the Advisor. The Board also requested and received information from the Advisor concerning the nature and extent of the services, fees, and profitability of its advisory services to advisory clients other than the Funds. They observed that these varying types of client accounts require different services and involve different regulatory and entrepreneurial risks than the management of the Funds. The Board analyzed this information and concluded that the fees charged and services provided to the Funds were reasonable by comparison.
Collateral or “Fall-Out” Benefits Derived by the Advisor. The Board considered the existence of collateral benefits the Advisor may receive as a result of its relationship with the Funds. The Board concluded that the Advisor’s primary business is managing mutual funds and it generally does not use Fund or shareholder information to generate profits in other lines of business, and therefore does not derive any significant collateral benefits from them. The Board noted that the Advisor receives proprietary research from broker-dealers that execute Fund portfolio transactions and concluded that this research is likely to benefit Fund shareholders. The Board also determined that the Advisor is able to provide investment management services to certain clients other than the Funds, at least in part, due to its existin g infrastructure built to serve the fund complex. The Board concluded, however, that the assets of those other clients are not material to the analysis and, in any event, are included with the assets of the Funds to determine breakpoints in each Fund’s fee schedule, provided they are managed using the same investment team and strategy.
Conclusion of the Board. As a result of this process, the Board, in the absence of particular circumstances and assisted by the advice of its independent legal counsel, taking into account all of the factors discussed above and the information provided by the Advisor and others, concluded that the Proposed Management Agreement be approved and recommended its approval to Fund shareholders.

Retirement Account Information
As required by law, distributions you receive from certain IRAs, or 403(b), 457 and qualified plans are subject to federal income tax withholding, unless you elect not to have withholding apply. Tax will be withheld on the total amount withdrawn even though you may be receiving amounts that are not subject to withholding, such as nondeductible contributions. In such case, excess amounts of withholding could occur. You may adjust your withholding election so that a greater or lesser amount will be withheld.
If you don’t want us to withhold on this amount, you must notify us to not withhold the federal income tax. You may notify us in writing or in certain situations by telephone or through other electronic means. You have the right to revoke your withholding election at any time and any election you make may remain in effect until revoked by filing a new election.
Remember, even if you elect not to have income tax withheld, you are liable for paying income tax on the taxable portion of your withdrawal. If you elect not to have income tax withheld or you don’t have enough income tax withheld, you may be responsible for payment of estimated tax. You may incur penalties under the estimated tax rules if your withholding and estimated tax payments are not sufficient. You can reduce or defer the income tax on a distribution by directly or indirectly rolling such distribution over to another IRA or eligible plan. You should consult your tax advisor for additional information.
State tax will be withheld if, at the time of your distribution, your address is within one of the mandatory withholding states and you have federal income tax withheld. State taxes will be withheld from your distribution in accordance with the respective state rules.

Independent Chairman’s Letter |

Fellow Shareholders,
The principal event at a recent board meeting was the retirement of Jim Stowers, Jr. from the American Century Mutual Funds Kansas City board. This was one of those times when you felt like you were living a historical moment. Jim founded what was known as Twentieth Century Mutual Funds over 50 years ago. Through the years, his number one priority has been to “Put Investors First!” The board presented Jim with a resolution acknowledging that, by building a successful investment company, he has impacted the lives of many by helping them on the path to financial success.
We respect Jim’s decision to focus his energy on the Stowers Institute for Medical Research and American Century Companies, Inc. (ACC), the parent company of the funds’ investment advisors. The pioneering medical research that Jim and his wife Virginia have made possible through the Institute should enrich the lives of millions in the future.
Shortly after his retirement from the board, we received word that Jim—who celebrated his 86th birthday in January—was hospitalized after experiencing a fall during his regular exercise regimen. While Jim has made steady progress toward recovery, this potentially serious incident resulted in the activation of his long-standing estate and business succession plan. Under the terms of the plan, ACC’s co-chairman Richard W. Brown succeeded Jim as trustee of a trust that holds a significant interest in ACC stock. While less than a majority interest, the trust is presumed to control the funds’ investment advisors under the Investment Company Act of 1940. This change triggered the need for a shareholder proxy to approve new management and subadvisory agreements for the funds. If you have not already responded, I encourage you to take the time to read the proxy materials and send your vote as soon as p ossible.
On behalf of the board, I want to once again thank Jim for his mutual fund board service and wish him a speedy recovery. More than three years ago, Jim and Richard Brown installed a strong and effective leadership team at American Century Investments and I look forward to continuing to work with them on behalf of fund shareholders. And while Jim no longer sits on the fund board, the inherent optimism captured by his favorite catch phrase—“The best is yet to be”—still resonates with all of us who have the privilege of serving you. I invite you to send your comments, questions or concerns to me at dhpratt@fundboardchair.com.

A Remarkable Recovery for Stocks
The U.S. stock market generated a very strong return for the year ended March 31, 2010, enjoying one of its best 12-month performances since 1983 (see the table below). The market’s extraordinary advance was driven by growing signs of economic recovery following a severe recession in late 2008 and early 2009.
The reporting period began shortly after the stock market hit its lowest point in 13 years, weighed down by the Great Recession—the worst economic downturn since the 1930s. Since then, however, the economic environment has improved markedly, providing support to the equity market. An increase in manufacturing activity, improving consumer spending, and signs of stabilization in the housing sector helped the U.S. economy post positive economic growth in the second half of 2009 after a year of declining output. The major exception to the favorable economic data was employment—job losses continued to mount and the unemployment rate remained persistently elevated throughout the 12-month period.
Stocks also got a lift from corporate earnings, which consistently exceeded expectations during the reporting period. The improvement in corporate profits occurred despite flat-to-declining revenues as businesses managed their cost structure more effectively, successfully lowering expenses.
Better economic data and rising corporate profits helped the stock market bounce back sharply throughout the reporting period, producing tremendous gains—the broad stock indices delivered returns of more than 50% for the 12 months. Mid-cap stocks posted the best results, followed by small-and large-cap shares, while value-oriented issues outpaced growth across all market capitalizations.
Bumps in the Road
Although we appear to be on a path to economic recovery, there are still likely to be bumps in the road before we can put the Great Recession firmly behind us. We are still facing an unemployment rate near 10%, a fragile financial sector, and enormous fiscal deficits. In addition, consumers and businesses are continuing to deleverage, which is likely to limit any improvements in retail and corporate spending. As a result, we expect a slower and longer road to prosperity than in past recoveries.

Equity Index
Subadvisor: Northern Trust Investments, N.A.
Performance Summary
Equity Index returned 48.96%* for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010, compared with the 49.77% return of its benchmark, the S&P 500 Index. The portfolio’s results reflected operating expenses, whereas the index return did not.
The fund’s return of nearly 50% for the 12-month period reflected the substantial rebound in the stock market after its sharp decline in late 2008 and early 2009. Improving economic conditions provided the main catalyst for the stock market’s recovery. Every sector in the S&P 500 Index posted double-digit gains for the period, led by those with the greatest economic sensitivity—information technology, industrials, and consumer discretionary. Financial stocks, which declined the most during the downturn, also generated strong gains over the past 12 months.
Technology Led the Advance
The fund’s holdings in the information technology sector—the largest sector weighting in the portfolio—had the biggest positive impact on performance during the reporting period. Five of the fund’s top ten performance contributors came from this sector, including the top two—consumer electronics maker Apple and software giant Microsoft. Apple returned more than 120% for the period thanks to strong sales of its iPhone and the introduction of the iPad, a new tablet computer with a touch screen. Microsoft benefited from the release of Windows 7, the latest upgrade to its dominant operating system.
Other top-performing technology holdings included network products maker Cisco Systems, which made some beneficial acquisitions and moved into new market segments; online advertising and search firm Google, which delivered robust earnings despite a difficult advertising environment; and computer hardware maker Hewlett-Packard, which rallied as demand for PCs improved.
Financials Rebounded
The financials sector produced the best overall return in the portfolio, gaining more than 80% for the 12-month period. Crippled by the economic downturn and credit crisis in late 2008, financial stocks staged a substantial rebound over the past 12 months as economic and credit conditions improved, enabling many financial firms to raise capital and rebuild their damaged balance sheets.
The best contributors in this sector included financial services provider Bank of America and commercial bank Wells Fargo, both of which produced triple-digit returns for the reporting period. Bank of America began a return to profitability and made progress on paying back funds provided by the federal government under the Troubled Asset Relief
*All fund returns referenced in this commentary are for Investor Class shares.

Equity Index
Program (TARP). Wells Fargo repeatedly exceeded earnings expectations and issued equity during the period to improve its balance sheet. Investment banks JPMorgan Chase and Goldman Sachs were also among the fund’s top performance contributors during the period.
Consumer Discretionary and Industrials Stocks Also Surged
The fund’s consumer discretionary and industrials stocks generated strong returns as the economic environment improved. In the industrials sector, aerospace and defense companies and industrial conglomerates were the best performers, led by industrial giant General Electric. Improving financial conditions boosted GE Capital, the company’s finance arm, and rising orders for industrial goods helped General Electric report consistently better-than-expected earnings. Defense contractor United Technologies and aircraft manufacturer Boeing, which completed a successful test flight of its long-awaited 787 Dreamliner, were also significant performance contributors in this sector.
Media companies and retailers were the top contributors in the consumer discretionary sector. Entertainment company Walt Disney was the leading contributor in this sector, advancing as strong results from the company’s television channels and movie studios—particularly its Pixar and Marvel Entertainment units—more than offset weakness at its theme parks. Auto maker Ford Motor also performed well, surging by more than 350% for the period as auto sales began to recover.
Utilities and Telecom Lagged
The more-defensive utilities and telecommunication services sectors of the portfolio posted the lowest returns. Stiff price competition continued to weigh on the telecom services sector, keeping both wireless and wireline telecom stocks in check. The primary detractor in this sector was discount wireless carrier MetroPCS Communications, which was hit hard by price wars among low-price wireless carriers, leading to lost market share and lower earnings expectations. In the utilities sector, the largest individual detractor was independent power producer NRG Energy, which tumbled as higher operating costs led to disappointing earnings reports during the last two quarters of the period.
Elsewhere, the most significant detractors in the portfolio included agricultural products maker Monsanto, which slumped amid increased competition in its herbicide business and tepid demand for its newest seed product, and biotechnology firm Genzyme, which faced a contamination problem in one of its production facilities that forced a shutdown of the plant.
Outlook
Stocks enjoyed a remarkable rally over the past 12 months, but that is unlikely to be repeated in the coming year. We expect to see further economic improvement as we move through 2010, but there are a number of obstacles—including consumer deleveraging, burgeoning fiscal deficits, and persistently high unemployment—that are likely to result in a slow, gradual pace of recovery.

Shareholder Fee Example (Unaudited) |
Fund shareholders may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and redemption/ exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service (12b-1) fees; and other fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in your fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing cost of investing in other mutual funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from October 1, 2009 to March 31, 2010.
Actual Expenses
The table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses for each class. You may use the information, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. First, identify the share class you own. Then simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
If you hold Investor Class shares of any American Century Investments fund, or Institutional Class shares of the American Century Diversified Bond Fund, in an American Century Investments account (i.e., not a financial intermediary or retirement plan account), American Century Investments may charge you a $12.50 semiannual account maintenance fee if the value of those shares is less than $10,000. We will redeem shares automatically in one of your accounts to pay the $12.50 fee. In determining your total eligible investment amount, we will include your investments in all personal accounts (including American Century Investments Brokerage accounts) registered under your Social Security number. Personal accounts include individual accounts, joint accounts, UGMA/UTMA accounts, personal trusts, Coverdell Education Savings Accounts and IRAs (including traditional, Roth, Rollover, SEP-, SARSEP- and SIMPLE-IRAs), and certain other retirement accounts. If you have only business, business retirement, employer-sponsored or American Century Investments Brokerage accounts, you are currently not subject to this fee. We will not charge the fee as long as you choose to manage your accounts exclusively online. If you are subject to the Account Maintenance Fee, your account value could be reduced by the fee amount.
9
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The table also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual expense ratio of each class of your fund and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the actual return of a fund’s share class. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption/exchange fees. Therefore, the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

MARCH 31, 2010
1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Organization — American Century Capital Portfolios, Inc. (the corporation) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the 1940 Act) as an open-end management investment company. Equity Index Fund (the fund) is one fund in a series issued by the corporation. The fund is nondiversified under the 1940 Act. The fund’s investment objective is to seek long-term capital growth. The fund pursues its objective by matching, as closely as possible, the investment characteristics and results of the S&P 500 Composite Price Index (S&P 500 Index). The following is a summary of the fund’s significant accounting policies.
Multiple Class — The fund is authorized to issue the Investor Class and the Institutional Class. The share classes differ principally in their respective distribution and shareholder servicing expenses and arrangements. All shares of the fund represent an equal pro rata interest in the net assets of the class to which such shares belong, and have identical voting, dividend, liquidation and other rights and the same terms and conditions, except for class specific expenses and exclusive rights to vote on matters affecting only individual classes. Income, non-class specific expenses, and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses of the fund are allocated to each class of shares based on their relative net assets.
Security Valuations — Securities traded primarily on a principal securities exchange are valued at the last reported sales price, or at the mean of the latest bid and asked prices where no last sales price is available. Depending on local convention or regulation, securities traded over-the-counter are valued at the mean of the latest bid and asked prices, the last sales price, or the official close price. Investments in open-end management investment companies are valued at the reported net asset value. Debt securities not traded on a principal securities exchange are valued through a commercial pricing service or at the mean of the most recent bid and asked prices. Discount notes may be valued through a commercial pricing service or at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. Securities traded on foreign securities ex changes and over-the-counter markets are normally completed before the close of business on days that the New York Stock Exchange (the Exchange) is open and may also take place on days when the Exchange is not open. If an event occurs after the value of a security was established but before the net asset value per share was determined that was likely to materially change the net asset value, that security would be valued as determined in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Directors. If the fund determines that the market price of a portfolio security is not readily available, or that the valuation methods mentioned above do not reflect the security’s fair value, such security is valued as determined by the Board of Directors or its designee, in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Directors, if such determination would materially impact a fund’s net asset value. Certain other circumstances may cause the fund to use alternative procedures to value a security such as: a security has been declared in default; trading in a security has been halted during the trading day; or there is a foreign market holiday and no trading will commence.
Security Transactions — For financial reporting purposes, security transactions are accounted for as of the trade date. Net realized gains and losses are determined on the identified cost basis, which is also used for federal income tax purposes.
Investment Income — Dividend income less foreign taxes withheld, if any, is recorded as of the ex-dividend date. 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. Each repurchase agreement is recorded at cost. The fund requires that the collateral, represented by securities, received in a repurchase transaction be transferred to the custodian in a manner sufficient to enable the fund to obtain those securities in the event of a default under the repurchase agreement. ACIM monitors, on a daily basis, the
22
securities transferred to ensure the value, including accrued interest, of the securities under each repurchase agreement is equal to or greater than amounts owed to the fund under each repurchase agreement.
Joint Trading Account — Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the fund, along with certain other funds in the American Century Investments family of funds, may transfer uninvested cash balances into a joint trading account. These balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Agency obligations.
Income Tax Status — It is the fund’s policy to distribute substantially all net investment income and net realized gains to shareholders and to otherwise qualify as a regulated investment company under provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. The fund is no longer subject to examination by tax authorities for years prior to 2007. At this time, management believes there are no uncertain tax positions which, based on their technical merit, would not be sustained upon examination and for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. Accordingly, no provision has been made for federal or state income taxes.
Distributions to Shareholders — Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions from net investment income are declared and paid quarterly. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are generally declared and paid annually.
Indemnifications — Under the corporation’s organizational documents, its officers and directors are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the fund. In addition, in the normal course of business, the fund enters into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The 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.
Use of Estimates — The financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which may require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Subsequent Events — In preparing the financial statements, management evaluated the impact of events or transactions occurring through the date the financial statements were issued that would merit recognition or disclosure.
2. Fees and Transactions with Related Parties
Management Fees — The corporation has entered into a Management Agreement with ACIM, under which ACIM provides the fund with investment advisory and management services in exchange for a single, unified management fee (the fee) per class. The Agreement provides that all expenses of managing and operating the fund, except 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 the daily net assets of the specific class of shares of the fund and paid monthly in arrears. For funds with a stepped fee schedule, the rate of the fee is determined by applying a fee rate calculation formula. This formula takes into account the fund’s assets as well as certain assets, if a ny, of other clients of the investment advisor outside the American Century Investments family of funds (such as subadvised funds and separate accounts) that have very similar investment teams and investment strategies (strategy assets). The annual management fee schedule for the fund ranges from 0.350% to 0.490% for the Investor Class. The Institutional Class is 0.200% less at each point within the range. The effective annual management fee for each class of the fund for the year ended March 31, 2010 was 0.49% and 0.29% for the Investor Class and Institutional Class, respectively.
23
ACIM has entered into a Subadvisory Agreement with Northern Trust Investments, N.A. (NTI) (the subadvisor) on behalf of the fund. The subadvisor makes investment decisions for the fund in accordance with the fund’s investment objectives, policies and restrictions under the supervision of ACIM and the Board of Directors. ACIM pays all costs associated with retaining NTI as the subadvisor of the fund.
Related Parties — Certain officers and directors of the corporation are also officers and/or directors of American Century Companies, Inc. (ACC), the parent of the corporation’s investment advisor, ACIM, the distributor of the corporation, American Century Investment Services, Inc., and the corporation’s transfer agent, American Century Services, LLC.
The fund is eligible to invest in a money market fund for temporary purposes, which is managed by J.P. Morgan Investment Management, Inc. (JPMIM). The fund has a Mutual Funds Services Agreement with J.P. Morgan Investor Services Co. (JPMIS) and a securities lending agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank (JPMCB). JPMCB is a custodian of the fund. JPMIM, JPMIS and JPMCB are wholly owned subsidiaries of JPMorgan Chase & Co. (JPM). JPM is an equity investor in ACC.
3. Investment Transactions
Purchases and sales of investment securities, excluding short-term investments, for the year ended March 31, 2010, were $46,207,018 and $61,550,300, respectively.
| | | | |
4. Capital Share Transactions | | | | |

Transactions in shares of the fund were as follows: | | |
| Year ended March 31, 2010 | Year ended March 31, 2009 |
| Shares | Amount | Shares | Amount |

5. 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 significant 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 significant unobservable inputs (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 an indication of the risks associated with investing in these securities or other financial instruments.
The following is a summary of the valuation inputs used to determine the fair value of the fund’s securities and other financial instruments as of March 31, 2010. The Schedule of Investments provides additional details on the fund’s portfolio holdings.
| | | |
| Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 |
Investment Securities | | | |
Common Stocks | $430,630,392 | — | — |
Temporary Cash Investments | 27,759 | $9,429,861 | — |
Total Value of Investment Securities | $430,658,151 | $9,429,861 | — |
| | | |
Other Financial Instruments | | | |
Total Unrealized Gain (Loss) on Futures Contracts | $169,209 | — | — |
6. 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 based on an equity index in order to manage its exposure to changes in market conditions. 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 whe n 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. 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 equity price risk derivative instruments held at period end as disclosed on the Schedule of Investments are indicative of the fund’s typical volume during the period.
The value of equity price risk derivatives as of March 31, 2010, is disclosed on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as a liability of $25,019 in payable for variation margin on futures contracts. For the year ended March 31, 2010, the effect of equity price risk derivatives on the Statement of Operations was $4,232,395 in net realized gain (loss) on futures contract transactions and $(489,897) in change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on futures contracts.
25
7. Interfund Lending
The fund, along with certain other funds in the American Century Investments family of funds, may participate in an interfund lending program, pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). This program provides an alternative credit facility allowing the fund to borrow from or lend to other funds in the American Century Investments family of funds that permit such transactions. Interfund lending transactions are subject to each fund’s investment policies and borrowing and lending limits. The interfund loan rate earned/paid on interfund lending transactions is determined daily based on the average of certain current market rates. Interfund lending transactions normally extend only overnight, but can have a maximum duration of seven days. The program is subject to annual approval by the Board of Directors. During the year ended March 31, 2010, the fund did not utilize th e program.
8. Federal Tax Information
The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended March 31, 2010 and March 31, 2009 were as follows:
| | |
| 2010 | 2009 |
Distributions Paid From | | |
Ordinary income | $7,491,551 | $11,129,338 |
Long-term capital gains | — | — |
The book-basis character of distributions made during the year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. These differences reflect the differing character of certain income items and net realized gains and losses for financial statement and tax purposes, and may result in reclassification among certain capital accounts on the financial statements.
As of March 31, 2010, the federal tax cost of investments and the components of distributable earnings on a tax-basis were as follows:
| |
Federal tax cost of investments | $353,892,679 |
Gross tax appreciation of investments | $130,248,135 |
Gross tax depreciation of investments | (44,052,802) |
Net tax appreciation (depreciation) of investments | $ 86,195,333 |
Net tax appreciation (depreciation) on derivatives | — |
Net tax appreciation (depreciation) | $86,195,333 |
Undistributed ordinary income | $45,551 |
Accumulated capital losses | $(39,137,018) |
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales and the realization for tax purposes of unrealized gains on certain futures contracts.
The accumulated capital losses listed above represent net capital loss carryovers that may be used to offset future realized capital gains for federal income tax purposes. Future capital loss carryover utilization in any given year may be subject to Internal Revenue Code limitations. The capital loss carryovers expire as follows:
| | | | |
2011 | 2012 | 2013 | 2014 | 2015 |
$(21,756,247) | $(1,957,751) | $(1,992,016) | $(5,270,954) | $(8,160,050) |
26
9. Corporate Event
As part of a long-standing estate and business succession plan established by ACC Co-Chairman James E. Stowers, Jr., the founder of American Century Investments, ACC Co-Chairman Richard W. Brown succeeded Mr. Stowers as trustee of a trust that holds a greater-than-25% voting interest in ACC, the parent corporation of each fund’s advisor. Under the 1940 Act, this is presumed to represent control of ACC even though it is less than a majority interest. The change of trustee may technically be considered a “change of control” of ACC and therefore also a change of control of each fund’s advisor even though there has been no change to their management and none is anticipated. The “change of control” resulted in the assignment of each fund’s investment advisory agreement. Under the 1940 Act, an assignment automatically terminated such agreement, making the approval of a new agreement necessary.
On February 18, 2010, the Board of Directors approved interim investment advisory agreements under which each fund will be managed until new agreements are approved by fund shareholders. On March 29, 2010, the Board of Directors approved new investment advisory agreements. The interim agreements and the new agreements are substantially identical to the terminated agreements (with the exception of different effective and termination dates) and will not result in changes in the management of American Century Investments, the funds, their investment objectives, fees or services provided. The new agreements have been submitted to shareholders for approval at a Special Meeting of Shareholders to be held on June 16, 2010.
10. Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In March 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Section 815-10 (formerly Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities —an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133”). ASC Section 815-10 is effective for interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008 and has been adopted by the fund. ASC Section 815-10 amends and expands disclosures about derivative instruments and hedging activities. ASC Section 815-10 requires qualitative disclosures about the objectives and strategies of derivative instruments, quantitative disclosures about the fair value amounts of and gains and losses on derivative instruments, and disclosures of credit-risk-related contingent features in hedging activities.
11. Other Tax Information (Unaudited)
The following information is provided pursuant to provisions of the Internal Revenue Code.
The fund hereby designates up to the maximum amount allowable as qualified dividend income for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010.
For corporate taxpayers, the fund hereby designates $7,491,551, or up to the maximum amount allowable, of ordinary income distributions paid during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010 as qualified for the corporate dividends received deduction.

| values were calculated to three decimal places, the total return differences would more closely reflect the class expense differences. The |
| calculation of net asset values to two decimal places is made in accordance with SEC guidelines and does not result in any gain or loss of value |
| between one class and another. | | | | | |

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm |
The Board of Directors and Shareholders,
American Century Capital Portfolios, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of Equity Index Fund, one of the mutual funds constituting American Century Capital Portfolios, Inc. (the “Corporation”), as of March 31, 2010, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Corporation’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Corporation is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing t he accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of March 31, 2010, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Equity Index Fund of American Century Capital Portfolios, Inc. as of March 31, 2010, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The Board of Directors
The individuals listed below serve as directors of the fund. Each director will continue to serve in this capacity until death, retirement, resignation or removal from office. The mandatory retirement age for directors who are not “interested persons,” as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act (independent directors), is 72. However, the mandatory retirement age may be extended or changed with the approval of the remaining independent directors.
Mr. Thomas is the only director who is an “interested person” because he currently serves as President and Chief Executive Officer of American Century Companies, Inc. (ACC), the parent company of American Century Investment Management, Inc. (ACIM) and American Century Global Investment Management, Inc. (ACGIM). ACIM and ACGIM are referred to collectively as the “advisors.”
The other directors (more than three-fourths of the total number) are independent; that is, they have never been employees, directors or officers of, and have no financial interest in, ACC or any of its wholly owned, direct or indirect, subsidiaries, including ACIM, ACGIM, American Century Investment Services, Inc. (ACIS) and American Century Services, LLC (ACS). The directors serve in this capacity for seven (in the case of Mr. Thomas, 15) registered investment companies in the American Century Investments family of funds.
The following presents additional information about the directors. The mailing address for each director is 4500 Main Street, Kansas City, Missouri 64111.

Board Approval of Management and Subadvisory Agreements |
American Century Investment Management, Inc. (“ACIM” or the “Advisor”) currently serves as investment advisor to the Fund under an interim management agreement (the “Interim Management Agreement”) between the Advisor and the Fund approved by the Fund’s Board of Directors (the “Board”). The Advisor previously served as investment advisor to the Fund pursuant to a management agreement (the “Prior Management Agreement”) that terminated in accordance with its terms on February 16, 2010, as a result of a change of control of the Advisor’s parent company, American Century Companies, Inc. (“ACC”). The change in control occurred as the result of a change in the trustee of a trust created by James E. Stowers, Jr., the founder of American Century Investments, which holds shares representing a significant interest in ACC stock. Mr. Stowers previously serve d as the trustee of the trust. On February 16, 2010, Richard W. Brown, Co-Chairman of ACC with Mr. Stowers, became the trustee in accordance with the terms of the trust and Mr. Stowers’ long-standing estate and succession plan.
Northern Trust Investments, N.A. (the “Subadvisor”) currently serves as subadvisor to the Fund under an interim subadvisory agreement (the “Interim Subadvisory Agreement”) between the Advisor and the Subad-visor. The Subadvisor previously served as subadvisor to the Fund pursuant to a subadvisory agreement (the “Prior Subadvisory Agreement”) that terminated as a result of the termination of the Prior Management Agreement.
On February 18, 2010, the Board approved the Interim Management Agreement and Interim Subadvisory Agreement in accordance with Rule 15a-4 under the Investment Company Act to ensure continued management of the Fund by the Advisor and the Subadvisor after the termination of the Prior Management Agreement and the Prior Subadvisory Agreement and until shareholder approval of a new management agreement (the “Proposed Management Agreement”) and a new subadvisory agreement (the “Proposed Subadvisory Agreement”) as required under the Act. The Board has approved the Proposed Management Agreement and Proposed Subadvisory Agreement and has recommended their approval to shareholders. Fund shareholders are scheduled to consider approval of the Proposed Management Agreement and Proposed Subadvisory Agreement at a meeting to be held on June 16, 2010.
The Interim Management Agreement and the Proposed Management Agreement are substantially identical to the Prior Management Agreement except for their effective dates and the termination provisions of the Interim Management Agreement. Under the Interim and Proposed Management Agreements, the Advisor will provide the same services to the Fund and receive the same compensation rate as under the Prior Management Agreement. The Interim and Proposed Subadvisory Agreements are substantially identical to the Prior Subadvisory Agreement except for their effective dates and the termination provisions of the Interim Subadvisory Agreement. Under the Interim and Proposed Subadvisory Agreements, the Subadvisor will provide the same services to the Fund and receive the same compensation rate from the Advisor as under the Prior Subadvisory Agreement.
35
Basis for Board Approval of Interim Agreements
In considering the approvals of the Interim Management Agreement and the Interim Subadvisory Agreement, Rule 15a-4 requires the Board to approve a contract within ten business days of the termination of the prior agreement and to determine that the compensation to be received under an interim agreement is no greater than would have been received under the prior agreement. In connection with the approvals, the Board noted that it oversees on a continuous basis and evaluates at its quarterly meetings, directly and through the committees of the Board, the nature and quality of significant services provided by the Advisor and the Subadvisor, the investment performance of the Fund, shareholder services, audit and compliance functions and a variety of other matters relating to the Fund’s operations.
In evaluating the Interim Management Agreement and the Interim Subad-visory Agreement, the Board, assisted by the advice of its independent legal counsel, considered a number of factors in addition to those required by the rule with no one factor being determinative to its analysis. Among the factors considered by the Board were the circumstances and effect of the change of control, the fact that the Advisor and Subadvisor will provide the same services and receive the same compensation rate as under the prior agreements, and that the change of control did not result in a change of the personnel managing the Fund. Upon completion of its analysis, the Board approved the Interim Management Agreement and the Interim Subadvi-sory Agreement, determining that the continued management of the Fund by the Advisor and the Subadvisor was in the best interests of the Fund and Fund shareholders.
Basis for Board Approval of Proposed Management Agreement
At a meeting held on March 29, 2010, after considering all information presented, the Board approved, and determined to recommend that shareholders approve, the Proposed Management Agreement. In connection with that approval, the Board requested and reviewed extensive data and information compiled by the Advisor and certain independent providers of evaluation data concerning the Fund and services provided to the Fund by the Advisor. The Board oversees on a continuous basis and evaluates at its quarterly meetings, directly and through the committees of the Board, the nature and quality of significant services provided by the Advisor, the investment performance of the Fund, shareholder services, audit and compliance functions and a variety of other matters relating to the Fund’s operations. The information considered and the discussions held at the meetings included, but were not limited to:
• the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund;
• the wide range of programs and services the Advisor provides to the Fund and its shareholders on a routine and non-routine basis;
• the compliance policies, procedures, and regulatory experience of the Advisor;
36
• data comparing the cost of owning the Fund to the cost of owning similar funds;
• the fact that there will be no changes to the fees, services, or personnel who provide such services as compared to the Prior Management Agreement;
• data comparing the Fund’s performance to appropriate benchmarks and/ or a peer group of other mutual funds with similar investment objectives and strategies;
• financial data showing the profitability of the Fund to the Advisor and the overall profitability of the Advisor;
• data comparing services provided and charges to the Fund with those for other non-fund investment management clients of the Advisor; and
• consideration of collateral or “fall-out” benefits derived by the Advisor from the management of the Fund and potential sharing of economies of scale in connection with the management of the Fund.
The Board also considered whether there was any reason for not continuing the existing arrangement with the Advisor. In particular, the Board recognized that shareholders may have invested in the Fund on the strength of the Advisor’s industry standing and reputation and in the expectation that the Advisor will have a continuing role in providing services to the Fund.
The Board considered all of the information provided by the Advisor, the independent data providers, and the Board’s independent legal counsel, and evaluated such information for the Fund. The Board did not identify any single factor as being all-important or controlling, and each Board member may have attributed different levels of importance to different factors. In deciding to approve the Proposed Management Agreement under the terms ultimately determined by the Board to be appropriate, the Board based its decision on a number of factors, including the following:
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services — Generally. Under the Proposed Management Agreement, the Advisor is responsible for providing or arranging for all services necessary for the operation of the Fund. The Board noted that under the Proposed Management Agreement, the Advisor provides or arranges at its own expense a wide variety of services including:
• constructing and designing the Fund
• portfolio research and security selection
• initial capitalization/funding
• securities trading
• Fund administration
• custody of Fund assets
37
• daily valuation of the Fund’s portfolio
• shareholder servicing and transfer agency, including shareholder
confirmations, recordkeeping and communications
• legal services
• regulatory and portfolio compliance
• financial reporting
• marketing and distribution
The Board noted that many of these services have expanded over time both in terms of quantity and complexity in response to shareholder demands, competition in the industry, changing distribution channels and the changing regulatory environment.
Investment Management Services. The investment management services provided to the Fund are complex and provide Fund shareholders access to professional money management, instant diversification of their investments within an asset class, the opportunity to easily diversify among asset classes, and liquidity. As a part of its general oversight and in evaluating investment performance, the Board expects the Advisor to manage, or arrange for the management of, the Fund in accordance with its investment objectives and approved strategies. The Board, directly and through its Fund Performance Review Committee, regularly reviews investment performance information for the Fund, together with comparative information for appropriate benchmarks and/or peer groups of similarly-managed funds, over different time horizons. If performance conce rns are identified, the underperforming Fund receives special reviews until performance improves, during which time the Board discusses with the Advisor the reasons for such underperformance and any efforts being undertaken to improve performance.
Shareholder and Other Services. Under the Proposed Management Agreement, the Advisor will also provide the Fund with a comprehensive package of transfer agency, shareholder, and other services. The Board, directly and through the various committees of the Board, regularly reviews reports and evaluations of such services. These reports include, but are not limited to, information regarding the operational efficiency and accuracy of the shareholder and transfer agency services provided, staffing levels, shareholder satisfaction (as measured by external as well as internal sources), technology support, new products and services offered to Fund shareholders, securities trading activities, portfolio valuation services, auditing services, and legal and operational compliance activities. Certain aspects of shareholder and transfer agency service level efficiency and the quality of securities trading activities are measured by independent third party providers and are presented in comparison to other fund groups not managed by the Advisor.
38
Costs of Services Provided and Profitability. The Advisor provided detailed information concerning its cost of providing various services to the Fund, its profitability in managing the Fund, its overall profitability, and its financial condition. The Board reviewed with the Advisor the methodology used to prepare this financial information. The Board has also reviewed with the Advisor the compensation paid to the five highest paid personnel of the Advisor. This financial information regarding the Advisor is considered in order to evaluate the Advisor’s financial condition, its ability to continue to provide services under the Proposed Management Agreement, and the reasonableness of the proposed management fees. The Board concluded that the Advisor’s profits were reasonable in light of the services provided to the Fun d.
Ethics. The Board generally considers the Advisor’s commitment to providing quality services to shareholders and to conducting its business ethically. It noted that the Advisor’s practices generally meet or exceed industry best practices.
Economies of Scale. The Board also reviewed information provided by the Advisor regarding the possible existence of economies of scale in connection with the management of the Fund. The Board concluded that economies of scale are difficult to measure and predict with precision, especially on a fund-by-fund basis. The analysis of economies of scale is further complicated by the additional services and content provided by the Advisor and its reinvestment in its ability to provide and expand those services. Accordingly, the Board seeks to evaluate economies of scale by reviewing information, such as year-over-year profitability of the Advisor generally, the profitability of its management of the Fund specifically, and the expenses incurred by the Advisor in providing various functions to the Fund. The Board believes the Advisor i s appropriately sharing economies of scale through its competitive fee structure, offering competitive fees from fund inception, fee breakpoints as the Fund increases in size, and through reinvestment in its business to provide shareholders additional services and enhancements to existing services.
Comparison to Fees of Fund not Managed by the Advisor. Both the Prior and Proposed Management Agreements provide that the Fund pay the Advisor a single, all-inclusive (or unified) management fee for providing all services necessary for the management and operation of the Fund, other than brokerage expenses, taxes, interest, extraordinary expenses, and the fees and expenses of the Fund’s Independent Trustees (including their independent legal counsel) and expenses incurred in connection with the provision of shareholder services and distribution services under a plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Under the unified fee structure, the Advisor is responsible for providing all investment advisory, custody, audit, administrative, compliance, recordkeeping, marketing and shareholder services, or arranging an d supervising third parties that provide such services. By contrast, most other funds are charged a variety of fees, including an investment advisory fee, a transfer agency fee, an administrative fee, distribution charges and other expenses. Other than their investment advisory fees and any applicable Rule 12b-1 distribution fees, the components of the total fees charged by these other funds may be
39
increased without shareholder approval. The Board believes the unified fee structure is a benefit to Fund shareholders because it clearly discloses to shareholders the cost of owning Fund shares, and, since the unified fee cannot be increased without a vote of Fund shareholders, it shifts to the Advisor the risk of increased costs of operating the Fund and provides a direct incentive to minimize administrative inefficiencies. Part of the Board’s analysis of fee levels involves reviewing certain evaluative data compiled by an independent provider comparing the Fund’s unified fee to the total expense ratios of similar funds not managed by the Advisor. The Board concluded that the management fee to be paid by the Fund to the Advisor under the Proposed Management Agreement is reasonable in light of the services to be provided to the Fund.
Comparison to Fees and Services Provided to Other Clients of the Advisor. The Board also requested and received information from the Advisor concerning the nature and extent of the services, fees, and profitability of its advisory services to advisory clients other than the Fund. They observed that these varying types of client accounts require different services and involve different regulatory and entrepreneurial risks than the management of the Fund. The Board analyzed this information and concluded that the fees charged and services provided to the Fund were reasonable by comparison.
Collateral or “Fall-Out” Benefits Derived by the Advisor. The Board considered the existence of collateral benefits the Advisor may receive as a result of its relationship with the Fund. The Board concluded that the Advisor’s primary business is managing mutual funds and it generally does not use Fund or shareholder information to generate profits in other lines of business, and therefore does not derive any significant collateral benefits from them. The Board noted that the Advisor receives proprietary research from broker-dealers that execute Fund portfolio transactions and concluded that this research is likely to benefit Fund shareholders.
Conclusion of the Board. As a result of this process, the Board, in the absence of particular circumstances and assisted by the advice of its independent legal counsel, taking into account all of the factors discussed above and the information provided by the Advisor and others, concluded that the Proposed Management Agreement be approved and recommended its approval to Fund shareholders.
Basis for Board Approval of Proposed Subadvisory Agreement
At its meeting held on March 29, 2010, the Fund’s Board considered and approved the Proposed Subadvisory Agreement between the Advisor and the Subadvisor with respect to the Fund. In approving the Proposed Subad-visory Agreement, the Board considered the following criteria relevant to the Subadvisor:
• The nature of the investment management services provided to the Fund;
• the Subadvisor’s breadth of experience in index fund management;
40
• Data comparing the Fund’s performance to appropriate benchmarks; and
• The compliance policies, procedures, and regulatory experience of the Subadvisor.
The Board also considered the Subadvisor’s positive track record with respect to complying with the Advisor’s stringent requirements for trading practices and soft dollar arrangements.
Under the Proposed Subadvisory Agreement, the Subadvisor is responsible for managing the investment operations and composition of the Fund, including the purchase, retention, and disposition of the investments held by the Fund. In performing its evaluation, the Board considered information received in connection with the approval of the Proposed Subadvisory Agreement, as well as information provided on an ongoing basis at its regularly scheduled Board and committee meetings. The Board did not consider the profitability of the Subadvisor because the Subadvisor is paid from the unified fee of the Advisor as a result of arm’s length negotiations.
After considering all information presented, and while no single factor was determinative, the Board, assisted by the advice of independent legal counsel, concluded that the Proposed Subadvisory Agreement be approved and recommended its approval to Fund shareholders.

Retirement Account Information
As required by law, distributions you receive from certain IRAs or 403(b), 457 and qualified plans are subject to federal income tax withholding, unless you elect not to have withholding apply. Tax will be withheld on the total amount withdrawn even though you may be receiving amounts that are not subject to withholding, such as nondeductible contributions. In such case, excess amounts of withholding could occur. You may adjust your withholding election so that a greater or lesser amount will be withheld.
If you don’t want us to withhold on this amount, you must notify us to not withhold the federal income tax. You may notify us in writing or in certain situations by telephone or through other electronic means. You have the right to revoke your withholding election at any time and any election you make may remain in effect until revoked by filing a new election.
Remember, even if you elect not to have income tax withheld, you are liable for paying income tax on the taxable portion of your withdrawal. If you elect not to have income tax withheld or you don’t have enough income tax withheld, you may be responsible for payment of estimated tax. You may incur penalties under the estimated tax rules if your withholding and estimated tax payments are not sufficient. You can reduce or defer the income tax on a distribution by directly or indirectly rolling such distribution over to another IRA or eligible plan. You should consult your tax advisor for additional information.
State tax will be withheld if, at the time of your distribution, your address is within one of the mandatory withholding states and you have federal income tax withheld. State taxes will be withheld from your distribution in accordance with the respective state rules.

Independent Chairman’s Letter |

Fellow Shareholders,
The principal event at a recent board meeting was the retirement of Jim Stowers, Jr. from the American Century Mutual Funds Kansas City board. This was one of those times when you felt like you were living a historical moment. Jim founded what was known as Twentieth Century Mutual Funds over 50 years ago. Through the years, his number one priority has been to “Put Investors First!” The board presented Jim with a resolution acknowledging that, by building a successful investment company, he has impacted the lives of many by helping them on the path to financial success.
We respect Jim’s decision to focus his energy on the Stowers Institute for Medical Research and American Century Companies, Inc. (ACC), the parent company of the funds’ investment advisors. The pioneering medical research that Jim and his wife Virginia have made possible through the Institute should enrich the lives of millions in the future.
Shortly after his retirement from the board, we received word that Jim—who celebrated his 86th birthday in January—was hospitalized after experiencing a fall during his regular exercise regimen. While Jim has made steady progress toward recovery, this potentially serious incident resulted in the activation of his long-standing estate and business succession plan. Under the terms of the plan, ACC’s co-chairman Richard W. Brown succeeded Jim as trustee of a trust that holds a significant interest in ACC stock. While less than a majority interest, the trust is presumed to control the funds’ investment advisors under the Investment Company Act of 1940. This change triggered the need for a shareholder proxy to approve new management and subadvisory agreements for the funds. If you have not already responded, I encourage you to take the time to read the proxy materials and send your vote as soon as p ossible.
On behalf of the board, I want to once again thank Jim for his mutual fund board service and wish him a speedy recovery. More than three years ago, Jim and Richard Brown installed a strong and effective leadership team at American Century Investments and I look forward to continuing to work with them on behalf of fund shareholders. And while Jim no longer sits on the fund board, the inherent optimism captured by his favorite catch phrase—“The best is yet to be”—still resonates with all of us who have the privilege of serving you. I invite you to send your comments, questions or concerns to me at dhpratt@fundboardchair.com.

By Phil Davidson, Chief Investment Officer, U.S. Value Equity
Stocks Enjoyed Bountiful Recovery
The U.S. stock market gained approximately 50% for the year ended March 31, 2010—one of its best 12-month returns in the last three decades. The key factor behind the remarkable rally in stocks was increasing confidence in a potential economic recovery.
The period began as the U.S. economy was beginning to emerge from its worst downturn since the Great Depression. Signs of economic improvement—including a pickup in industrial production, rising retail sales, and signals that the housing sector was starting to stabilize—gained momentum throughout the 12-month period, helping the U.S. economy post positive growth in the third and fourth quarters of 2009. The exception was job growth—the unemployment rate rose to its highest level since 1983 before falling back slightly toward the end of the reporting period.
Better-than-expected corporate profits also provided a boost to stocks despite sluggish revenue growth. Aggressive cost-cutting strategies across much of corporate America helped profits remain on an upward trajectory.
Value Stocks Led the Rally
Value stocks led the market’s advance, outperforming growth shares across all market capitalizations (see the table below). Many of the best-performing stocks were financially stressed companies that were able to stabilize their businesses and strengthen their balance sheets—characteristics that apply to value-oriented issues. In addition, the financial sector—a sizable component of the value universe—was one of the top-performing sectors in the equity market as many troubled financial firms were able to issue equity and deleverage.
Another recent development that has been favorable for value stocks is a resurgence of dividends. 2009 was the worst year on record for dividends in the U.S., where more than 800 companies reduced their dividend payouts by a total of $58 billion. However, in the first three months of 2010, income-oriented investors were rewarded with growing dividend payouts. In February alone, 47 companies in the S&P 500 increased their dividends or began paying them. Dividends play a central role in our efforts to reduce risk and increase total returns, and they also confirm the strength of a company’s earnings and cash flow.

NT Large Company Value
Portfolio Managers: Chuck Ritter and Brendan Healy
Performance Summary
NT Large Company Value returned 47.28% for the 12 months ended March 31, 2010. By comparison, its benchmark, the Russell 1000 Value Index, returned 53.56%. The broader market, as measured by the S&P 500 Index, returned 49.77%. The portfolio’s return reflects operating expenses, while the indices’ returns do not. The average return for Morningstar’s Large Cap Value category (its performance, like NT Large Company Value’s, reflects operating expenses) was 50.25%.*
As the performance figures above indicate, the stock market staged a remarkable comeback during the reporting period. Economic conditions improved in response to government stimulus, corporate earnings were better than expected, and improving conditions in the capital markets helped the more highly leveraged or financially strapped companies. These factors led many investors to shift into riskier assets, and many of the period’s largest gains were made by the lower-quality businesses that fared the worst during the financial crisis. Furthermore, the names that lagged the rally tended to be the stable, less risky businesses favored by NT Large Company Value. In this environment, the portfolio received positive results in absolute terms from all 10 of the sectors in which it was invested. On a relative basis, holdings in the consumer discretionary and health care sectors detracted. The portfolio’s position in utilities contributed positively.
Consumer Discretionary Detracted
Within the consumer discretionary sector, security selection was a drag on relative performance. Although the portfolio benefited from its investments in the media industry, these results were offset by a lack of exposure to car maker Ford Motor and auto component companies. Ford, which was up significantly in the benchmark, has restructured its business and steadily gained market share. Among diversified consumer services stocks, a notable detractor was H&R Block, which experienced a decline in its tax-preparation business.
Health Care Hampered Results
The portfolio’s overweight in health care dampened relative progress. Health care stocks gained, but their progress was constrained as investors priced in worst-case scenarios for health care reform. As fears abated, the sector’s performance strengthened.

NT Large Company Value
Security selection also slowed relative results. A notable detractor was Abbott Laboratories, which develops and manufactures laboratory diagnostics, medical devices, and pharmaceutical therapies. Earlier in the reporting period, Abbott reported a deceleration in prescription growth for Humira, its blockbuster drug for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. Eventually, sales of Humira rebounded strongly, but the drugmaker’s shares underperformed other pharmaceutical names.
A Defensive Bias Also Slowed Progress
A factor influencing NT Large Company Value’s relative underperformance was the annual reconstitution of the portfolio’s benchmark index, the Russell 1000 Value Index. The reconstitution, which occurred during June 2009, gave greater weighting to cyclical sectors and stocks—in other words, those that tend to rise during good economic times. Because of our investment approach, we did not respond to this shift in weightings by increasing the portfolio’s cyclical sensitivity, which hampered relative performance.
Utilities Provided a Boost
NT Large Company Value continued to benefit from a significant underweight in the utilities sector, reflecting our belief that many of these stocks have been overvalued for some time. The stance added value during the market rally when utilities underperformed all but one other benchmark sector.
Consumer Staples Provided Notable Contributor
The consumer staples sector was the source of key contributor Pepsi Bottling Group. Its share price surged on news that PepsiCo, which already owned one third of the bottling company, had launched a takeover bid. The deal closed in February 2010.
Outlook
We continue to be bottom-up investment managers, evaluating each company individually and building the portfolio one stock at a time. As of March 31, 2010, NT Large Company Value is broadly diversified, with ongoing overweight positions in the health care, information technology, and consumer staples sectors. Our valuation work is also directing us toward smaller relative weightings in financials, utilities, and materials stocks.

NT Mid Cap Value
Portfolio Managers: Kevin Toney, Michael Liss, and Phil Davidson
Performance Summary
NT Mid Cap Value returned 58.29% for the 12 months ended March 31, 2010. By comparison, the average return for Morningstar’s Mid Cap Value category (its performance, like NT Mid Cap Value’s, reflects operating expenses) was 65.78%.* The fund’s benchmark, the Russell Midcap Value Index, was up 72.41%. Its returns do not include operating expenses.
As the performance figures above indicate, the stock market staged a remarkable comeback during the reporting period. Economic conditions improved (partly in response to government stimulus programs), corporate earnings were better than expected, and improving conditions in the capital markets helped the more highly leveraged or financially strapped companies. These factors led many investors to shift into riskier assets, and many of the period’s largest gains were made by the lower-quality businesses that fared the worst during the financial crisis. That situation was at odds with NT Mid Cap Value’s investment approach, which emphasizes higher-quality businesses with sound balance sheets. Nonetheless, the portfolio received positive contributions in absolute terms from all 10 of the sectors in which it was invested. On a relative basis, NT Mid Cap Value’s underperformance was more a result of what it didn’t own, rather than what it did.
Financials Slowed Results
The portfolio’s position in the financials sector was the largest source of underperformance versus the benchmark. Although financials contributed the most to NT Mid Cap Value’s return, conservative security selection restrained relative progress as companies with stressed balance sheets, many of which had appeared to be on the brink of bankruptcy only months earlier, outperformed stronger, higher-quality businesses. The portfolio was significantly underweight commercial banks, a segment that returned more than 67% to the benchmark.
The portfolio’s investments were concentrated in the less-volatile insurance and thrift names, many of which did not keep pace with other financial stocks during the low-quality rally. A top detractor was global insurance broker, Marsh & McLennan Companies. Marsh does not have a credit-sensitive business model and we believe it is well-positioned to benefit from regulatory changes and improving operating conditions. Another notable detractor was People’s United Financial, a conservatively run and well-capitalized thrift.

NT Mid Cap Value
Consumer Discretionary Detracted
Relative performance was hampered by the combination of an underweight position and security selection in the consumer discretionary sector. Many of these stocks, which suffered steep declines as the recession took hold, rallied on optimism about a possible economic recovery and improving consumer sentiment. The portfolio did not own any media stocks, which outperformed as advertising revenues improved. It was also slowed by an underweight position in automakers. NT Mid Cap Value did not hold shares of Ford Motor, which rose nearly 378% during the period.
In addition, the portfolio was hindered by its investments in leisure stocks. A key detractor was International Speedway Corp. During the recession, the race track operator struggled with lower attendance at NASCAR events and a decline in corporate sponsorship.
Information Technology Contributed
The portfolio’s holdings in the information technology sector added to relative results. Many of these companies are tied more closely to their own product cycles and market opportunities than to broad economic or capital markets conditions. A key contributor was Emulex Corp., a maker of storage-networking equipment. Its share price rose dramatically on news of an unsolicited takeover bid from chipmaker Broadcom Corp. The stock remained elevated as Emulex resisted the takeover, urging shareholders to reject Broadcom’s offer on the grounds that it materially undervalued the company. Ultimately, Broadcom withdrew the offer.
Utilities Enhanced Performance
Security selection in utilities—the weakest sector in the benchmark—benefited the portfolio. Because of valuations and higher-risk business models, NT Mid Cap Value did not hold any independent power producers, one of the weakest performing segments within the sector. The portfolio’s underweight in multi-utilities was also advantageous.
Outlook
We continue to follow our disciplined, bottom-up process, selecting companies one at a time for the portfolio. As of March 31, 2010, we see opportunities in consumer staples, industrials, energy, and health care stocks, reflected by overweight positions in these sectors, relative to the benchmark. Our fundamental analysis and valuation work are also directing us toward smaller relative weightings in consumer discretionary, materials, and financials stocks.

Shareholder Fee Examples (Unaudited) |
Fund shareholders may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and redemption/ exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service (12b-1) fees; and other fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in your fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing cost of investing in other mutual funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from October 1, 2009 to March 31, 2010.
Actual Expenses
The table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses for each class. You may use the information, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. First, identify the share class you own. Then simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
If you hold Investor Class shares of any American Century Investments fund, or Institutional Class shares of the American Century Diversified Bond Fund, in an American Century Investments account (i.e., not a financial intermediary or retirement plan account), American Century Investments may charge you a $12.50 semiannual account maintenance fee if the value of those shares is less than $10,000. We will redeem shares automatically in one of your accounts to pay the $12.50 fee. In determining your total eligible investment amount, we will include your investments in all personal accounts (including American Century Investments Brokerage accounts) registered under your Social Security number. Personal accounts include individual accounts, joint accounts, UGMA/UTMA accounts, personal trusts, Coverdell Education Savings Accounts and IRAs (including traditional, Roth, Rollover, SEP-, SARSEP- and SIMPLE-IRAs), and certain other retirement accounts. If you have only business, business retirement, employer-sponsored or American Century Investments Brokerage accounts, you are currently not subject to this fee. We will not charge the fee as long as you choose to manage your accounts exclusively online. If you are subject to the Account Maintenance Fee, your account value could be reduced by the fee amount.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The table also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual expense ratio of each class of your fund and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the actual return of a fund’s share class. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account
13
balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption/exchange fees. Therefore, the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

MARCH 31, 2010
1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Organization — American Century Capital Portfolios, Inc. (the corporation) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the 1940 Act) as an open-end management investment company. NT Large Company Value Fund (NT Large Company Value) and NT Mid Cap Value Fund (NT Mid Cap Value) (collectively, the funds) are two funds in a series issued by the corporation. The funds are diversified under the 1940 Act. The funds’ investment objective is to seek long-term capital growth. Income is a secondary objective. The funds pursue their investment objective by investing in stocks of companies that management believes to be undervalued at the time of purchase. NT Large Company Value invests primarily in companies with larger market capitalization. NT Mid Cap Value invests in mid-sized market capitalization companies. The fund s are not permitted to invest in any securities issued by companies assigned the Global Industry Classification Standard for the tobacco industry. The following is a summary of the funds’ significant accounting policies.
Security Valuations — Securities traded primarily on a principal securities exchange are valued at the last reported sales price, or at the mean of the latest bid and asked prices where no last sales price is available. Depending on local convention or regulation, securities traded over-the-counter are valued at the mean of the latest bid and asked prices, the last sales price, or the official close price. Investments in open-end management investment companies are valued at the reported net asset value. Debt securities not traded on a principal securities exchange are valued through a commercial pricing service or at the mean of the most recent bid and asked prices. Discount notes may be valued through a commercial pricing service or at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. Securities traded on foreign securities ex changes and over-the-counter markets are normally completed before the close of business on days that the New York Stock Exchange (the Exchange) is open and may also take place on days when the Exchange is not open. If an event occurs after the value of a security was established but before the net asset value per share was determined that was likely to materially change the net asset value, that security would be valued as determined in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Directors. If the funds determine that the market price of a portfolio security is not readily available, or that the valuation methods mentioned above do not reflect the security’s fair value, such security is valued as determined by the Board of Directors or its designee, in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Directors, if such determination would materially impact a fund’s net asset value. Certain other circumstances may cause the funds to use alternative procedures to value a security such as: a security has been declared in default; trading in a security has been halted during the trading day; or there is a foreign market holiday and no trading will commence.
Security Transactions — For financial reporting purposes, security transactions are accounted for as of the trade date. Net realized gains and losses are determined on the identified cost basis, which is also used for federal income tax purposes.
Investment Income — Dividend income less foreign taxes withheld, if any, is recorded as of the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis and includes accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums.
Exchange Traded Funds — The funds may invest in exchange traded funds (ETFs). ETFs are a type of index fund bought and sold on a securities exchange. An ETF trades like common stock and represents a fixed portfolio of securities designed to track the performance and dividend yield of a particular domestic or foreign market index. A fund may purchase an ETF to temporarily gain exposure to a portion of the U.S. or a foreign market while awaiting purchase of underlying securities. The risks of owning an ETF generally reflect the risks of owning the underlying securities they are designed to track, although the lack of liquidity on an ETF could result in it being more volatile. Additionally, ETFs have fees and expenses that reduce their value.
24
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 funds 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 certain expenses are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. For assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities, net realized and unrealized gains and losses from foreign currency translations arise from changes in currency exchange rates.
Net realized and unrealized foreign currency exchange gains or losses occurring during the holding period of investment securities are a component of net realized gain (loss) on investment transactions and net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments, respectively. Certain countries may impose taxes on the contract amount of purchases and sales of foreign currency contracts in their currency. The funds record the foreign tax expense, if any, as a reduction to the net realized gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions.
Repurchase Agreements — The funds may enter into repurchase agreements with institutions that American Century Investment Management, Inc. (ACIM) (the investment advisor) has determined are creditworthy pursuant to criteria adopted by the Board of Directors. Each repurchase agreement is recorded at cost. Each fund requires that the collateral, represented by securities, received in a repurchase transaction be transferred to the custodian in a manner sufficient to enable each fund to obtain those securities in the event of a default under the repurchase agreement. ACIM monitors, on a daily basis, the securities transferred to ensure the value, including accrued interest, of the securities under each repurchase agreement is equal to or greater than amounts owed to each fund under each repurchase agreement.
Joint Trading Account — Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission, each fund, along with certain other funds in the American Century Investments family of funds, may transfer uninvested cash balances into a joint trading account. These balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Agency obligations.
Income Tax Status — It is each fund’s policy to distribute substantially all net investment income and net realized gains to shareholders and to otherwise qualify as a regulated investment company under provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. All tax years for the funds remain subject to examination by tax authorities. At this time, management believes there are no uncertain tax positions which, based on their technical merit, would not be sustained upon examination and for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. Accordingly, no provision has been made for federal or state income taxes.
Distributions to Shareholders — Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions from net investment income are declared and paid quarterly. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are generally declared and paid annually.
Indemnifications — Under the corporation’s organizational documents, its officers and directors are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the funds. In addition, in the normal course of business, the funds enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The 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.
Use of Estimates — The financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which may require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Subsequent Events — In preparing the financial statements, management evaluated the impact of events or transactions occurring through the date the financial statements were issued that would merit recognition or disclosure.
25
2. Fees and Transactions with Related Parties
Management Fees — The corporation has entered into a Management Agreement with ACIM, under which ACIM provides the funds with investment advisory and management services in exchange for a single, unified management fee (the fee). The Agreement provides that all expenses of managing and operating the funds, except 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 the daily net assets of each fund and paid monthly in arrears. For funds with a stepped fee schedule, the rate of the fee is determined by applying a fee rate calculation formula. This formula takes into account each fund’s assets as well as certain assets, if any, of other clients of the investment adv isor outside the American Century Investments family of funds (such as subadvised funds and separate accounts) that have very similar investment teams and investment strategies (strategy assets). The annual management fee schedule for NT Large Company Value ranges from 0.50% to 0.70%. The effective annual management fee for NT Large Company Value for the year ended March 31, 2010 was 0.64%. The annual management fee for NT Mid Cap Value is 0.80%.
Related Parties — Certain officers and directors of the corporation are also officers and/ or directors of American Century Companies, Inc. (ACC), the parent of the corporation’s investment advisor, ACIM, the distributor of the corporation, American Century Investment Services, Inc., and the corporation’s transfer agent, American Century Services, LLC. The funds are wholly owned, in aggregate, by various funds in a series issued by American Century Asset Allocation Portfolios, Inc. (ACAAP). ACAAP does not invest in the funds for the purpose of exercising management or control.
The funds are eligible to invest in a money market fund for temporary purposes, which is managed by J.P. Morgan Investment Management, Inc. (JPMIM). The funds have a Mutual Funds Services Agreement with J.P. Morgan Investor Services Co. (JPMIS) and a securities lending agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank (JPMCB). JPMCB is a custodian of the funds. JPMIM, JPMIS and JPMCB are wholly owned subsidiaries of JPMorgan Chase & Co. (JPM). JPM is an equity investor in ACC.
3. Investment Transactions
Investment transactions, excluding short-term investments, for the year ended March 31, 2010 were as follows:
| | |
| NT Large Company Value | NT Mid Cap Value |
Purchases | $126,996,994 | $170,088,818 |
Sales | $50,366,863 | $142,366,507 |
4. Fair Value Measurements
The funds’ securities valuation process is based on several considerations and may use multiple inputs to determine the fair value of the positions held by the funds. In conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the inputs used to determine a valuation are classified into three broad levels as follows:
• Level 1 valuation inputs consist of unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical securities;
• Level 2 valuation inputs consist of significant 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 significant unobservable inputs (including a fund’s own assumptions).
26
The level classification is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair valuation measurement. The valuation inputs are not an indication of the risks associated with investing in these securities or other financial instruments.
The following is a summary of the valuation inputs used to determine the fair value of the funds’ securities and other financial instruments as of March 31, 2010. The Schedule of Investments provides additional details on the funds’ portfolio holdings.

5. Derivative Instruments | | | | |
Equity Price Risk — NT Large Company Value is subject to equity price risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. A fund may enter into futures contracts based on an equity index in order to manage its exposure to changes in market conditions. 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 ga in 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. 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 equity price risk derivative instruments held at period end as disclosed on the Schedule of Investments are indicative of the fund’s typical volume during the period.
27
Foreign Currency Risk — NT Mid Cap Value 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. The net U.S. dollar value of foreign currency underlying all contractual commitments hel d by a fund and the resulting unrealized appreciation or depreciation are determined daily using prevailing exchange rates. 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 risk of loss from non-performance by the counterparty may be reduced by the use of master netting agreements. The foreign currency risk derivative instruments held at period end as disclosed on the Schedule of Investments are indicative of the fund& #146;s typical volume during the period.
For NT Large Company Value, the value of equity price risk derivative instruments as of March 31, 2010, is disclosed on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as a liability of $44,520 in payable for variation margin on futures contracts.

6. Risk Factors
There are certain risks involved in investing in foreign securities. These risks include those resulting from future adverse political, social, and economic development, fluctuations in currency exchange rates, the possible imposition of exchange controls, and other foreign laws and restrictions.
7. Interfund Lending
The funds, along with certain other funds in the American Century Investments family of funds, may participate in an interfund lending program, pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). This program provides an alternative credit facility allowing the funds to borrow from or lend to other funds in the American Century Investments family of funds that permit such transactions. Interfund lending transactions are subject to each fund’s investment policies and borrowing and lending limits. The interfund loan rate earned/paid on interfund lending transactions is determined daily based on the average of certain current market rates. Interfund lending transactions normally extend only overnight, but can have a maximum duration of seven days. The program is subject to annual approval by the Board of Directors. During the year ended March 31, 2010, the funds did not utilize the program.

8. Federal Tax Information
The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended March 31, 2010 and March 31, 2009 were as follows:
| | | | |
| NT Large Company Value | NT Mid Cap Value |
| 2010 | 2009 | 2010 | 2009 |
Distributions Paid From | | | | |
Ordinary income | $4,435,883 | $3,130,012 | $1,746,754 | $1,139,180 |
Long-term capital gains | — | $221 | — | — |
The book-basis character of distributions made during the year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. These differences reflect the differing character of certain income items and net realized gains and losses for financial statement and tax purposes, and may result in reclassification among certain capital accounts on the financial statements.
| | | |
As of March 31, 2010, the federal tax cost of investments and the components of | |
distributable earnings on a tax-basis were as follows: | | | |
| | | |
| NT Large | | |
| Company Value | NT Mid Cap Value |
Federal tax cost of investments | $277,777,676 | $123,116,780 |
Gross tax appreciation of investments | $35,373,674 | $15,613,863 |
Gross tax depreciation of investments | (5,513,985) | (454,190) |
Net tax appreciation (depreciation) of investments | $29,859,689 | $15,159,673 |
Net tax appreciation (depreciation) on derivatives and translation of assets and | | |
liabilities in foreign currencies | — | $ 495 |
Net tax appreciation (depreciation) | $29,859,689 | $15,160,168 |
Undistributed ordinary income | $1,861 | $1,484,140 |
Accumulated capital losses | $(26,105,024) | — |
Capital loss deferrals | $(298,670) | — |
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales, and the realization for tax purposes of unrealized gains (losses) on certain forward foreign currency exchange contracts and on certain futures contracts.
The accumulated capital losses listed above represent net capital loss carryovers that may be used to offset future realized capital gains for federal income tax purposes. Future capital loss carryover utilization in any given year may be subject to Internal Revenue Code limitations. For NT Large Company Value, capital loss carryovers of $(10,029,955) and $(16,075,069) expire in 2017 and 2018, respectively.
The capital loss deferrals listed above represent net capital losses incurred in the five-month period ended March 31, 2010. The funds have elected to treat such losses as having been incurred in the following fiscal year for federal income tax purposes.

9. Corporate Event
As part of a long-standing estate and business succession plan established by ACC Co-Chairman James E. Stowers, Jr., the founder of American Century Investments, ACC Co-Chairman Richard W. Brown succeeded Mr. Stowers as trustee of a trust that holds a greater-than-25% voting interest in ACC, the parent corporation of each fund’s advisor. Under the 1940 Act, this is presumed to represent control of ACC even though it is less than a majority interest. The change of trustee may technically be considered a “change of control” of ACC and therefore also a change of control of each fund’s advisor even though there has been no change to their management and none is anticipated. The “change of control” resulted in the assignment of each fund’s investment advisory agreement. Under the 1940 Act, an assignment automatically terminated such agreement, making the approval of a new agreement necessary.
On February 18, 2010, the Board of Directors approved interim investment advisory agreements under which each fund will be managed until new agreements are approved by fund shareholders. On March 29, 2010, the Board of Directors approved new investment advisory agreements. The interim agreements and the new agreements are substantially identical to the terminated agreements (with the exception of different effective and termination dates) and will not result in changes in the management of American Century Investments, the funds, their investment objectives, fees or services provided. The new agreements have been submitted to shareholders for approval at a Special Meeting of Shareholders to be held on June 16, 2010.
10. Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In March 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Section 815-10 (formerly Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities —an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133”). ASC Section 815-10 is effective for interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008 and has been adopted by the funds. ASC Section 815-10 amends and expands disclosures about derivative instruments and hedging activities. ASC Section 815-10 requires qualitative disclosures about the objectives and strategies of derivative instruments, quantitative disclosures about the fair value amounts of and gains and losses on derivative instruments, and disclosures of credit-risk-related contingent features in hedging activities.
11. Other Tax Information (Unaudited)
The following information is provided pursuant to provisions of the Internal Revenue Code.
The funds hereby designate up to the maximum amount allowable as qualified dividend income for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010.
For corporate taxpayers, NT Large Company Value and NT Mid Cap Value hereby designate $4,435,883 and $1,746,754, respectively, or up to the maximum amount allowable, of ordinary income distributions paid during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010 as qualified for the corporate dividends received deduction.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm |
The Board of Directors and Shareholders,
American Century Capital Portfolios, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of NT Large Company Value Fund and NT Mid Cap Value Fund, two of the mutual funds constituting American Century Capital Portfolios, Inc. (the “Corporation”), as of March 31, 2010, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights each of the three years in the period then ended and for the period May 12, 2006 (inception of the funds) through March 31, 2007. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Corporation’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Corporation is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing t he accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of March 31, 2010, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial positions of NT Large Company Value Fund and NT Mid Cap Value Fund, two of the mutual funds of American Century Capital Portfolios, Inc., as of March 31, 2010, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the three years in the period then ended and for the period May 12, 2006 through March 31, 2007, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The Board of Directors
The individuals listed below serve as directors of the funds. Each director will continue to serve in this capacity until death, retirement, resignation or removal from office. The mandatory retirement age for directors who are not “interested persons,” as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act (independent directors), is 72. However, the mandatory retirement age may be extended or changed with the approval of the remaining independent directors.
Mr. Thomas is the only director who is an “interested person” because he currently serves as President and Chief Executive Officer of American Century Companies, Inc. (ACC), the parent company of American Century Investment Management, Inc. (ACIM) and American Century Global Investment Management, Inc. (ACGIM). ACIM and ACGIM are referred to collectively as the “advisors.”
The other directors (more than three-fourths of the total number) are independent; that is, they have never been employees, directors or officers of, and have no financial interest in, ACC or any of its wholly owned, direct or indirect, subsidiaries, including ACIM, ACGIM, American Century Investment Services, Inc. (ACIS) and American Century Services, LLC (ACS). The directors serve in this capacity for seven (in the case of Mr. Thomas, 15) registered investment companies in the American Century Investments family of funds.

Board Approval of Management Agreements |
American Century Investment Management, Inc. (“ACIM” or the “Advisor”) currently serves as investment advisor to the Funds under an interim management agreement (the “Interim Management Agreement”) between the Advisor and the Funds approved by the Funds’ Board of Directors (the “Board”). The Advisor previously served as investment advisor to the Funds pursuant to a management agreement (the “Prior Management Agreement”) that terminated in accordance with its terms on February 16, 2010, as a result of a change of control of the Advisor’s parent company, American Century Companies, Inc. (“ACC”). The change in control occurred as the result of a change in the trustee of a trust created by James E. Stowers, Jr., the founder of American Century Investments, which holds shares representing a significant interest in ACC stock. Mr. Stowers previously se rved as the trustee of the trust. On February 16, 2010, Mr. Richard W. Brown, Co-Chairman of ACC with Mr. Stowers, became the trustee in accordance with the terms of the trust and Mr. Stowers’ long-standing estate and succession plan.
On February 18, 2010, the Board approved the Interim Management Agreement in accordance with Rule 15a-4 under the Investment Company Act to ensure continued management of the Funds by the Advisor after the termination of the Prior Management Agreement and until shareholder approval of a new management agreement (the “Proposed Management Agreement”) as required under the Act. The Board has approved the Proposed Management Agreement and has recommended its approval to shareholders. Fund shareholders are scheduled to consider approval of the Proposed Management Agreement at a meeting to be held on June 16, 2010.
The Interim Management Agreement and the Proposed Management Agreement are substantially identical to the Prior Management Agreement except for their effective dates and the termination provisions of the Interim Management Agreement. Under the Interim and Proposed Management Agreements, the Advisor will provide the same services to the Funds and receive the same compensation rate as under the Prior Management Agreement.
Basis for Board Approval of Interim Management Agreement
In considering the approval of the Interim Management Agreement, Rule 15a-4 requires the Board to approve the contract within ten business days of the termination of the prior agreement and to determine that the compensation to be received under the interim agreement is no greater than would have been received under the prior agreement. In connection with the approval, the Board noted that it oversees on a continuous basis and evaluates at its quarterly meetings, directly and through the committees of the Board, the nature and quality of significant services provided by the Advisor, the investment performance of the Funds, shareholder services, audit and compliance functions and a variety of other matters relating to the Funds’ operations.
38
In evaluating the Interim Management Agreement, the Board, assisted by the advice of its independent legal counsel, considered a number of factors in addition to those required by the rule with no one factor being determinative to its analysis. Among the factors considered by the Board were the circumstances and effect of the change of control, the fact that the Advisor will provide the same services and receive the same compensation rate as under the Prior Management Agreements, and that the change of control did not result in a change of the personnel managing the Funds. Upon completion of its analysis, the Board approved the Interim Management Agreement, determining that the continued management of the Funds by the Advisor was in the best interests of the Funds and Fund shareholders.
Basis for Board Approval of Proposed Management Agreement
At a meeting held on March 29, 2010, after considering all information presented, the Board approved, and determined to recommend that shareholders approve, the Proposed Management Agreement. In connection with that approval, the Board requested and reviewed extensive data and information compiled by the Advisor and certain independent providers of evaluation data concerning the Funds and services provided to the Funds by the Advisor. The Board oversees on a continuous basis and evaluates at its quarterly meetings, directly and through the committees of the Board, the nature and quality of significant services provided by the Advisor, the investment performance of the Funds, shareholder services, audit and compliance functions and a variety of other matters relating to the Funds’ operations. The information considered and the discussions held at the meetings included, but were not limited to:
• the nature, extent and quality of investment management, shareholder services and other services provided to the Funds;
• the wide range of programs and services the Advisor provides to the Funds and their shareholders on a routine and non-routine basis;
• the compliance policies, procedures, and regulatory experience of the Advisor;
• data comparing the cost of owning the Funds to the cost of owning similar funds;
• the fact that there will be no changes to the fees, services, or personnel who provide such services as compared to the Prior Management Agreement;
• data comparing the Funds’ performance to appropriate benchmarks and/ or a peer group of other mutual funds with similar investment objectives and strategies;
• financial data showing the profitability of the Funds to the Advisor and the overall profitability of the Advisor;
39
• data comparing services provided and charges to the Funds with those for other non-fund investment management clients of the Advisor; and
• consideration of collateral or “fall-out” benefits derived by the Advisor from the management of the Funds and potential sharing of economies of scale in connection with the management of the Funds.
The Board also considered whether there was any reason for not continuing the existing arrangement with the Advisor. In particular, the Board recognized that shareholders may have invested in the Funds on the strength of the Advisor’s industry standing and reputation and in the expectation that the Advisor will have a continuing role in providing advisory services to the Funds.
The Board considered all of the information provided by the Advisor, the independent data providers, and the Board’s independent legal counsel, and evaluated such information for each Fund. The Board did not identify any single factor as being all-important or controlling, and each Board member may have attributed different levels of importance to different factors. In deciding to approve the Proposed Management Agreement under the terms ultimately determined by the Board to be appropriate, the Board based its decision on a number of factors, including the following:
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services – Generally. Under the Proposed Management Agreement, the Advisor is responsible for providing or arranging for all services necessary for the operation of the Funds. The Board noted that under the Proposed Management Agreement, the Advisor provides or arranges at its own expense a wide variety of services including:
• constructing and designing the Funds
• portfolio research and security selection
• initial capitalization/funding
• securities trading
• Fund administration
• custody of Fund assets
• daily valuation of each Fund’s portfolio
• shareholder servicing and transfer agency, including shareholder confir-
mations, recordkeeping and communications
• legal services
• regulatory and portfolio compliance
• financial reporting
• marketing and distribution
40
The Board noted that many of these services have expanded over time both in terms of quantity and complexity in response to shareholder demands, competition in the industry, changing distribution channels and the changing regulatory environment.
Investment Management Services. The investment management services provided to the Funds are complex and provide Fund shareholders access to professional money management, instant diversification of their investments within an asset class, the opportunity to easily diversify among asset classes, and liquidity. As a part of its general oversight and in evaluating investment performance, the Board expects the Advisor to manage each Fund in accordance with its investment objectives and approved strategies. In providing these services, the Advisor utilizes teams of investment professionals who require extensive information technology, research, training, compliance and other systems to conduct their business. The Board, directly and through its Fund Performance Review Committee, regularly reviews investment performance information for each Fund, together with comparative information for appropriate benchmarks and/or peer groups of similarly-managed funds, over different time horizons. If performance concerns are identified, the underperforming Fund receives special reviews until performance improves, during which time the Board discusses with the Advisor the reasons for such underperformance and any efforts being undertaken to improve performance.
Shareholder and Other Services. Under the Proposed Management Agreement, the Advisor will also provide the Funds with a comprehensive package of transfer agency, shareholder, and other services. The Board, directly and through the various committees of the Board, regularly reviews reports and evaluations of such services. These reports include, but are not limited to, information regarding the operational efficiency and accuracy of the shareholder and transfer agency services provided, staffing levels, shareholder satisfaction (as measured by external as well as internal sources), technology support, new products and services offered to Fund shareholders, securities trading activities, portfolio valuation services, auditing services, and legal and operational compliance activities. Certain aspects of shareholder and transfer a gency service level efficiency and the quality of securities trading activities are measured by independent third party providers and are presented in comparison to other fund groups not managed by the Advisor.
Costs of Services Provided and Profitability. The Advisor provided detailed information concerning its cost of providing various services to the Funds, its profitability in managing the Funds, its overall profitability, and its financial condition. The Board reviewed with the Advisor the methodology used to prepare this financial information. The Board has also reviewed with the Advisor its methodology for compensating the investment professionals that provide services to the Funds as well as compensation to the five highest paid personnel of the Advisor. This financial information regarding the Advisor is considered in order to evaluate the Advisor’s financial
41
condition, its ability to continue to provide services under the Proposed Management Agreement, and the reasonableness of the proposed management fees. The Board concluded that the Advisor’s profits were reasonable in light of the services provided to the Funds.
Ethics. The Board generally considers the Advisor’s commitment to providing quality services to shareholders and to conducting its business ethically. It noted that the Advisor’s practices generally meet or exceed industry best practices.
Economies of Scale. The Board also reviewed information provided by the Advisor regarding the possible existence of economies of scale in connection with the management of the Funds. The Board concluded that economies of scale are difficult to measure and predict with precision, especially on a fund-by-fund basis. The analysis of economies of scale is further complicated by the additional services and content provided by the Advisor and its reinvestment in its ability to provide and expand those services. Accordingly, the Board seeks to evaluate economies of scale by reviewing information, such as year-over-year profitability of the Advisor generally, the profitability of its management of each Fund specifically, and the expenses incurred by the Advisor in providing various functions to the Funds. The Board believes the Adviso r is appropriately sharing economies of scale through its competitive fee structure, offering competitive fees from fund inception, fee breakpoints as each Fund increases in size, and through reinvestment in its business to provide shareholders additional services and enhancements to existing services.
Comparison to Fees of Funds not Managed by the Advisor. Both the Prior and Proposed Management Agreements provide that the Funds pay the Advisor a single, all-inclusive (or unified) management fee for providing all services necessary for the management and operation of the Funds, other than brokerage expenses, taxes, interest, extraordinary expenses, and the fees and expenses of the Funds’ Independent Trustees (including their independent legal counsel) and expenses incurred in connection with the provision of shareholder services and distribution services under a plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Under the unified fee structure, the Advisor is responsible for providing all investment advisory, custody, audit, administrative, compliance, recordkeeping, marketing and shareholder services, or arranging and supervising third parties that provide such services. By contrast, most other funds are charged a variety of fees, including an investment advisory fee, a transfer agency fee, an administrative fee, distribution charges and other expenses. Other than their investment advisory fees and any applicable Rule 12b-1 distribution fees, the components of the total fees charged by these other funds may be increased without shareholder approval. The Board believes the unified fee structure is a benefit to Fund shareholders because it clearly discloses to shareholders the cost of owning Fund shares, and, since the unified fee cannot be increased without a vote of Fund shareholders, it shifts to the Advisor the risk of increased costs of operating the Funds and provides a direct incentive to
42
minimize administrative inefficiencies. Part of the Board’s analysis of fee levels involves reviewing certain evaluative data compiled by an independent provider comparing each Fund’s unified fee to the total expense ratios of similar funds not managed by the Advisor. The Board concluded that the management fee to be paid by each Fund to the Advisor under the Proposed Management Agreement is reasonable in light of the services to be provided to the Fund.
Comparison to Fees and Services Provided to Other Clients of the Advisor. The Board also requested and received information from the Advisor concerning the nature and extent of the services, fees, and profitability of its advisory services to advisory clients other than the Funds. They observed that these varying types of client accounts require different services and involve different regulatory and entrepreneurial risks than the management of the Funds. The Board analyzed this information and concluded that the fees charged and services provided to the Funds were reasonable by comparison.
Collateral or “Fall-Out” Benefits Derived by the Advisor. The Board considered the existence of collateral benefits the Advisor may receive as a result of its relationship with the Funds. The Board concluded that the Advisor’s primary business is managing mutual funds and it generally does not use Fund or shareholder information to generate profits in other lines of business, and therefore does not derive any significant collateral benefits from them. The Board noted that the Advisor receives proprietary research from broker-dealers that execute Fund portfolio transactions and concluded that this research is likely to benefit Fund shareholders. The Board also determined that the Advisor is able to provide investment management services to certain clients other than the Funds, at least in part, due to its existin g infrastructure built to serve the fund complex. The Board concluded, however, that the assets of those other clients are not material to the analysis and, in any event, are included with the assets of the Funds to determine breakpoints in each Fund’s fee schedule, provided they are managed using the same investment team and strategy.
Conclusion of the Board. As a result of this process, the Board, in the absence of particular circumstances and assisted by the advice of its independent legal counsel, taking into account all of the factors discussed above and the information provided by the Advisor and others, concluded that the Proposed Management Agreement be approved and recommended its approval to Fund shareholders.

Retirement Account Information
As required by law, distributions you receive from certain IRAs, or 403(b), 457 and qualified plans are subject to federal income tax withholding, unless you elect not to have withholding apply. Tax will be withheld on the total amount withdrawn even though you may be receiving amounts that are not subject to withholding, such as nondeductible contributions. In such case, excess amounts of withholding could occur. You may adjust your withholding election so that a greater or lesser amount will be withheld.
If you don’t want us to withhold on this amount, you must notify us to not withhold the federal income tax. You may notify us in writing or in certain situations by telephone or through other electronic means. You have the right to revoke your withholding election at any time and any election you make may remain in effect until revoked by filing a new election.
Remember, even if you elect not to have income tax withheld, you are liable for paying income tax on the taxable portion of your withdrawal. If you elect not to have income tax withheld or you don’t have enough income tax withheld, you may be responsible for payment of estimated tax. You may incur penalties under the estimated tax rules if your withholding and estimated tax payments are not sufficient. You can reduce or defer the income tax on a distribution by directly or indirectly rolling such distribution over to another IRA or eligible plan. You should consult your tax advisor for additional information.
State tax will be withheld if, at the time of your distribution, your address is within one of the mandatory withholding states and you have federal income tax withheld. State taxes will be withheld from your distribution in accordance with the respective state rules.
