Shareholder Fee Example 

Fund shareholders may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and redemption/exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service (12b-1) fees; and other fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in your fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing cost of investing in other mutual funds.

The example is based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from May 1, 2015 to October 31, 2015 (except as noted).

Actual Expenses

The table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses for each class. You may use the information, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. First, identify the share class you own. Then simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

If you hold Investor Class shares of any American Century Investments fund, or 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 accountsinclude individual accounts, joint accounts, UGMA/UTMA accounts, personal trusts, Coverdell Education Savings Accounts and IRAs (including traditional, Roth, Rollover, SEP-, SARSEP- and SIMPLE-IRAs), and certain other retirement accounts. If you have only business, business retirement, employer-sponsored or American Century Investments Brokerage accounts, you are currently not subject to this fee. If you are subject to the Account Maintenance Fee, your account value could be reduced by the fee amount.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The table also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual expense ratio of each class of your fund and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the actual return of a fund’s share class. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

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

(1) Expenses are equal to the class's annualized expense ratio listed in the table above, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184, 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 October 15, 2015 (fund inception) through October 31, 2015.

(3) 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 17, the number of days in the period from October 15, 2015 (fund inception) through October 31, 2015, divided by 365, to reflect the period. Had the class been available for the full period, the expenses paid during the period would have been higher.

(4) Ending account value and expenses paid during the period assumes the class had been available throughout the entire period and are calculated using the class’s annualized expense ratio listed in the table above.

Notes to Financial Statements

OCTOBER 31, 2015

1. Organization

American Century Capital Portfolios, Inc. (the corporation) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company and is organized as a Maryland corporation. AC Alternatives Equity Fund (the fund) is one fund in a series issued by the corporation. The fund is diversified as defined under the 1940 Act. The fund’s investment objective is to seek to provide capital appreciation.

The fund offers the Investor Class, the Institutional Class, the A Class, the C Class, the R Class and the R6 Class. The A Class may incur an initial sales charge. The A Class and C Class may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge. The share classes differ principally in their respective sales charges and distribution and shareholder servicing expenses and arrangements. The Institutional Class and R6 Class shareholders do not require the same level of shareholder and administrative services from American Century Investment Management, Inc. (ACIM) (the investment advisor) as shareholders of other classes. In addition, financial intermediaries do not receive any service, distribution or administrative fees for the R6 Class. As a result, the Institutional Class and R6 Class are charged lower unified management fees. All classes of the fund commenced operations on October 15, 2015, the fund's inception date.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the fund in preparation of its financial statements. The fund is an investment company and follows accounting and reporting guidance in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. This may require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Management evaluated the impact of events or transactions occurring through the date the financial statements were issued that would merit recognition or disclosure.

Investment Valuations — The fund determines the fair value of its investments and computes its net asset value per share at the close of regular trading (usually 4 p.m. Eastern time) on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on each day the NYSE is open. The Board of Directors has adopted valuation policies and procedures to guide the investment advisor in the fund’s investment valuation process and to provide methodologies for the oversight of the fund’s pricing function.

Equity securities that are listed or traded on a domestic securities exchange are valued at the last reported sales price or at the official closing price as provided by the exchange. Equity securities traded on foreign securities exchanges are generally valued at the closing price of such securities on the exchange where primarily traded or at the close of the NYSE, if that is earlier. If no last sales price is reported, or if local convention or regulation so provides, the mean of the latest bid and asked prices may be used. Securities traded over-the-counter are valued at the mean of the latest bid and asked prices, the last sales price, or the official closing price. Equity securities initially expressed in local currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the mean of the appropriate currency exchange rate at the close of the NYSE as provided by an independent pricing service.

Open-end management investment companies are valued at the reported net asset value per share. Exchange-traded futures and options contracts are valued based on quoted prices as provided by the appropriate exchange. Swap agreements are valued at an evaluated price as provided by independent pricing services or independent brokers. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are valued at the mean of the appropriate forward exchange rate at the close of the NYSE as provided by an independent pricing service. Investments initially expressed in local currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the mean of the appropriate currency exchange rate at the close of the NYSE as provided by an independent pricing service.

If the fund determines that the market price for an investment is not readily available or the valuation methods mentioned above do not reflect an investment’s fair value, such investment is valued as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors or its delegate, in accordance with policies and procedures adopted by the Board of Directors. In its determination of fair value, the fund may review several factors including, but not limited to, market information regarding the specific investment or comparable investments and correlation with other investment types, futures indices or general market indicators. Circumstances that may cause the fund to use these procedures to value an investment include, but are not limited to: an investment has been

21

declared in default or is distressed; trading in a security has been suspended during the trading day or a security is not actively trading on its principal exchange; prices received from a regular pricing source are deemed unreliable; or there is a foreign market holiday and no trading occurred.

The fund monitors for significant events occurring after the close of an investment’s primary exchange but before the fund’s net asset value per share is determined. Significant events may include, but are not limited to: corporate announcements and transactions; governmental action and political unrest that could impact a specific investment or an investment sector; or armed conflicts, natural disasters and similar events that could affect investments in a specific country or region. The fund also monitors for significant fluctuations between domestic and foreign markets, as evidenced by the U.S. market or such other indicators that the Board of Directors, or its delegate, deems appropriate. If significant fluctuations in foreign markets are identified, the fund may apply a model-derived factor to the closing price of equity securities traded on foreign securities exchanges. The factor is based on observable market data as provided by an independent pricing service.

Security Transactions — Security transactions are accounted for as of the trade date. Net realized gains and losses are determined on the identified cost basis, which is also used for federal income tax purposes.

Investment Income — Dividend income less foreign taxes withheld, if any, is recorded as of the ex-dividend date. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or long-term capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. The fund may estimate the components of distributions received that may be considered nontaxable distributions or long-term capital gain distributions for income tax purposes. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis and includes accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums.

Securities Sold Short — The fund enters into short sales, which is selling securities it does not own, as part of its normal investment activities. Upon selling a security short, the fund will segregate cash, cash equivalents or other appropriate liquid securities in at least an amount equal to the current market value of the securities sold short until the fund replaces the borrowed security. Interest earned on segregated cash for securities sold short is reflected as interest income. The fund is required to pay any dividends or interest due on securities sold short. Such dividends and interest are recorded as an expense. The fund may pay fees or charges to the broker on the assets borrowed for securities sold short. These fees are calculated daily based upon the value of each security sold short and a rate that is dependent on the availability of such security. If the market price of a security increases after the fund borrows the security, the fund may suffer a loss when it replaces the borrowed security at the higher price. Any loss will be increased by the amount of compensation, interest or dividends, and transaction costs the fund must pay to the lender of the borrowed security. Liabilities for securities sold short are valued daily and changes in value are recorded as change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on securities sold short. The fund records realized gain (loss) on a security sold short when it is terminated by the fund and includes as a component of net realized gain (loss) on securities sold short transactions.

Foreign Currency Translations — All assets and liabilities initially expressed in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at prevailing exchange rates at period end. The fund may enter into spot foreign currency exchange contracts to facilitate transactions denominated in a foreign currency. Purchases and sales of investment securities, dividend and interest income, spot foreign currency exchange contracts, and expenses are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. Net realized and unrealized foreign currency exchange gains or losses related to investment securities are a component of net realized gain (loss) on investment transactions and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments, respectively. Net realized and unrealized foreign currency exchange gains or

losses related to securities sold short are a component of net realized gain (loss) on securities sold short

transactions and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on securities sold short, respectively.

Segregated Assets — In accordance with the 1940 Act, the fund segregates assets on its books and records to cover certain types of investments, including, but not limited to, short sales, futures contracts, options contracts, forward commitments, when-issued securities, swap agreements and certain forward foreign currency exchange contracts. ACIM monitors, on a daily basis, the securities segregated to ensure the fund designates a sufficient amount of liquid assets, marked-to-market daily. The fund may also receive assets or be required to pledge assets at the custodian bank or with a broker for margin requirements on short sales, futures contracts, options contracts, forward commitments and swap agreements.

Income Tax Status — It is the fund’s policy to distribute substantially all net investment income and net realized gains to shareholders and to otherwise qualify as a regulated investment company under provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, no provision has been made for income taxes. The fund files U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S. tax returns as applicable. The fund's tax returns are subject to examination by the relevant taxing authority until expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, which is generally three

22

years from the date of filing but can be longer in certain jurisdictions. At this time, management believes there are no uncertain tax positions which, based on their technical merit, would not be sustained upon examination and for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.

Multiple Class — All shares of the fund represent an equal pro rata interest in the net assets of the class to which such shares belong, and have identical voting, dividend, liquidation and other rights and the same terms and conditions, except for class specific expenses and exclusive rights to vote on matters affecting only individual classes. Income, non-class specific expenses, and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses of the fund are allocated to each class of shares based on their relative net assets.

Distributions to Shareholders — Distributions from net investment income and net realized gains, if any, are generally declared and paid annually.

Indemnifications — Under the corporation’s organizational documents, its officers and directors are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the fund. In addition, in the normal course of business, the fund enters into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against a fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered by management to be remote.

3. Fees and Transactions with Related Parties

Certain officers and directors of the corporation are also officers and/or directors of American Century Companies, Inc. (ACC). The corporation’s investment advisor, ACIM, the corporation's distributor, American Century Investment Services, Inc. (ACIS), and the corporation’s transfer agent, American Century Services, LLC, are wholly owned, directly or indirectly, by ACC. ACIM has engaged Perella Weinberg Partners Capital Management LP (PWP) as a subadvisor for the fund. PWP is responsible for making recommendations with respect to hiring, terminating, or replacing the fund’s underlying subadvisors. The fund’s underlying subadvisors at the period end were Achievement Asset Management LLC, Passport Capital, LLC, Siros Capital Management, L.P. and Three Bridges Capital, LP.  PWP determines the percentage of the fund’s portfolio allocated to each subadvisor, including PWP, in order to seek to achieve the fund’s investment objective. ACIM is responsible for entering into subadvisory agreements and overseeing the activities of each of the subadvisors including monitoring compliance with fund objectives, strategies and restrictions. ACIM pays all costs associated with retaining the subadvisors of the fund. ACIM and the fund’s subadvisors own 100% of the shares of the fund.  Related parties do not invest in the fund for the purpose of exercising management or control.

Management Fees — The corporation has entered into a management agreement with ACIM, under which ACIM provides the fund with investment advisory and management services in exchange for a single, unified management fee (the fee) per class. The agreement provides that all expenses of managing and operating the fund, except distribution and service fees, expenses on securities sold short, brokerage expenses, taxes, interest, fees and expenses of the independent directors (including legal counsel fees), and extraordinary expenses, will be paid by ACIM. The fee is computed and accrued daily based on each class's daily net assets and paid monthly in arrears. The annual management fee is 2.40% for the Investor Class, A Class, C Class and R Class, 2.20% for the Institutional Class and 2.05% for the R6 Class.

Distribution and Service Fees — The Board of Directors has adopted a separate Master Distribution and Individual Shareholder Services Plan for each of the A Class, C Class and R Class (collectively the plans), pursuant to Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act. The plans provide that the A Class will pay ACIS an annual distribution and service fee of 0.25%. The plans provide that the C Class will pay ACIS an annual distribution and service fee of 1.00%, of which 0.25% is paid for individual shareholder services and 0.75% is paid for distribution services. The plans provide that the R Class will pay ACIS an annual distribution and service fee of 0.50%. The fees are computed and accrued daily based on each class’s daily net assets and paid monthly in arrears. The fees are used to pay financial intermediaries for distribution and individual shareholder services. Fees incurred under the plans during the period October 15, 2015 (fund inception) through October 31, 2015 are detailed in the Statement of Operations.

Directors' Fees and Expenses — The Board of Directors is responsible for overseeing the investment advisor’s management and operations of the fund. The directors receive detailed information about the fund and its investment advisor regularly throughout the year, and meet at least quarterly with management of the investment advisor to review reports about fund operations. The fund’s officers do not receive compensation from the fund.

23

Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses — The fund may invest in mutual funds, exchange-traded funds, and business development companies (the acquired funds). The fund will indirectly realize its pro rata share of the fees and expenses of the acquired funds in which it invests. These indirect fees and expenses are not paid out of the fund's assets but are reflected in the return realized by the fund on its investment in the acquired funds.

4. Investment Transactions

Purchases and sales of investment securities and securities sold short, excluding short-term investments, for

the period October 15, 2015 (fund inception) through October 31, 2015 were $39,750,263 and $19,814,823, respectively.

5. Capital Share Transactions

(1) October 15, 2015 (fund inception) through October 31, 2015.

6. Fair Value Measurements

The fund’s investments valuation process is based on several considerations and may use multiple inputs to determine the fair value of the investments held by the fund. In conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the inputs used to determine a valuation are classified into three broad levels.

• Level 1 valuation inputs consist of unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical investments.

• Level 2 valuation inputs consist of direct or indirect observable market data (including quoted prices for comparable investments, evaluations of subsequent market events, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.). These inputs also consist of quoted prices for identical investments initially expressed in local currencies that are adjusted through translation into U.S. dollars.

• Level 3 valuation inputs consist of unobservable data (including a fund’s own assumptions).

The level classification is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair valuation measurement. The valuation inputs are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in these securities or other financial instruments. There were no significant transfers between levels during the period.

7. Derivative Instruments

Equity Price Risk – The fund is subject to equity price risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. A fund may enter into futures contracts and total return swap agreements or purchase put option contracts based on an equity index or specific security in order to manage its exposure to changes in market conditions. The risks of entering into equity price risk derivative instruments include the possible lack of liquidity, failure of the counterparty to meet its obligations, and that there may be unfavorable changes in the underlying investments or instruments.

A fund may purchase a put option contract to protect against declines in market value on the underlying index or security. Option contracts purchased by a fund are accounted for in the same manner as marketable portfolio securities. The proceeds from securities sold through the exercise of option contracts are decreased by the premium paid to purchase the option contracts. A fund recognizes a realized gain or loss when the option contract is exercised or expires. Net realized and unrealized gains or losses occurring during the holding period of options contracts are a component of net realized gain (loss) on investment transactions and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments, respectively. The fund’s exposure to these equity price risk derivative instruments at period end was 126 options contracts.

A fund may purchase futures contracts to gain exposure to increases in market value or sell futures contracts to protect against a decline in market value. Upon entering into a futures contract, a fund is required to deposit either cash or securities in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the contract value (initial margin). Subsequent payments (variation margin) are made or received daily, in cash, by a fund. The variation margin is equal to the daily change in the contract value and is recorded as unrealized gains and losses. A fund recognizes a realized gain or loss when the contract is closed or expires. Net realized and unrealized gains or losses occurring during the holding period of futures contracts are a component of net realized gain (loss) on futures contract transactions and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on futures contracts, respectively. The fund’s exposure to these equity price risk derivative instruments held at period end was 78 futures contracts.

A fund may enter into total return swap agreements in order to attempt to obtain or preserve a particular return or spread at a lower cost than obtaining a return or spread through purchases and/or sales of instruments in other markets or gain exposure to certain markets in the most economical way possible. A fund will segregate cash, cash equivalents or other appropriate liquid securities on its records in amounts sufficient to meet requirements. Changes in value, including the periodic amounts of interest to be paid or received on swap agreements, are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on swap agreements. Realized gain or loss is recorded upon receipt or payment of a periodic settlement or termination of swap agreements. Net realized and unrealized gains or losses occurring during the holding period of swap agreements are a component of net realized gain (loss) on swap agreement transactions and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on swap agreements, respectively. At period end, the fund held 918,667 swap agreement units.

Foreign Currency Risk — The fund is subject to foreign currency exchange rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The value of foreign investments held by a fund may be significantly affected by changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The dollar value of a foreign security generally decreases when the value of the dollar rises against the foreign currency in which the security is denominated and tends to increase when the value of the dollar declines against such foreign currency. A fund may enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts to reduce a fund's exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations or to gain exposure to the fluctuations in the value of foreign currencies. The net U.S. dollar value of foreign currency underlying all contractual commitments held by a fund and the resulting unrealized appreciation or depreciation are determined daily. Realized gain or loss is recorded upon the termination of the contract. Net realized and unrealized gains or losses occurring during the holding period of forward foreign currency exchange contracts are a component of net realized gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on translation of assets and liabilities in foreign currencies, respectively. A fund bears the risk of an unfavorable change in the foreign currency exchange rate underlying the forward contract. Additionally, losses, up to the fair value, may arise if the counterparties do not perform under the contract terms. The fund's U.S. dollar exposure to foreign currency risk derivative instruments at period end was $10,637,317.

8. Risk Factors

ACIM utilizes multiple subadvisors to manage the fund’s assets, each employing its own particular investment strategy.  Multi-manager strategies can increase the fund's portfolio turnover rate, which could result in higher levels of realized capital gains or losses, higher brokerage commissions and other transaction costs.

The fund may invest in foreign securities, which are generally riskier than U.S. securities. As a result the

fund may be subject to foreign risk, meaning that political events (such as civil unrest, national elections and imposition of exchange controls), social and economic events (such as labor strikes and rising inflation), and natural disasters occurring in a country where the fund invests could cause the fund’s investments in that country to experience losses. For these and other reasons, securities of foreign issuers may be less liquid and more volatile. Investing in securities of companies located in emerging market countries generally is riskier than investing in securities of companies located in foreign developed countries.

The fund is subject to short sales risk. If the market price of a security increases after the fund borrows the security to sell short, the fund may suffer a loss when it replaces the borrowed security at the higher price. Any loss will be increased by the amount of compensation, interest or dividends, and transaction costs the fund must pay to a lender of the security.

27

9. Federal Tax Information

The book-basis character of distributions made during the year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. These differences reflect the differing character of certain income items and net realized gains and losses for financial statement and tax purposes, and may result in reclassification among certain capital accounts on the financial statements. There were no distributions paid by the fund during the period October 15, 2015 (fund inception) through October 31, 2015.

As of October 31, 2015, the federal tax cost of investments and the components of distributable earnings on a tax-basis were as follows:

Federal tax cost of investments	$	53,115,906
Gross tax appreciation of investments	$	696,537
Gross tax depreciation of investments	(356,112		)
Net tax appreciation (depreciation) of investments	340,425
Net tax appreciation (depreciation) on securities sold short	7,265
Net tax appreciation (depreciation) on derivatives and translation of assets and liabilities in foreign currencies	(22,898		)
Net tax appreciation (depreciation)	$	324,792
Undistributed ordinary income	$	362,437
Accumulated short-term capital losses	$	(53,209	)
Accumulated long-term capital losses	$	(66,954	)

The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is attributable primarily to the realization for tax purposes of unrealized gains (losses) on certain foreign currency exchange contracts and swap agreements.

Accumulated capital losses represent net capital loss carryovers that may be used to offset future realized capital gains for federal income tax purposes. The capital loss carryovers may be carried forward for an unlimited period. Future capital loss carryover utilization in any given year may be subject to Internal Revenue Code limitations.

10. Subsequent Events

Effective November 13, 2015, ACIM terminated the subadvisory agreement with Achievement Asset Management LLC on behalf of the fund. 

On December 1, 2015, the Board of Directors approved a name change for the fund. Effective February 1, 2016, the fund’s name will change to AC Alternatives^TM Long Short Fund.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of American Century Capital Portfolios, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of AC Alternatives^TM Equity Fund (the “Fund”), one of the funds constituting American Century Capital Portfolios, Inc., as of October 31, 2015, and the related statements of operations, changes in net assets, and the financial highlights for the period from October 15, 2015 (commencement date) through October 31, 2015. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2015, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audit provides 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 AC Alternatives^TM Equity Fund of American Century Capital Portfolios, Inc. as of October 31, 2015, and the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets, and the financial highlights for the period from October 15, 2015 (commencement date) through October 31, 2015, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Management

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 board has adopted a mandatory retirement age for directors who are not “interested persons,” as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act (independent directors). Independent directors shall retire by December 31 of the year in which they reach their 75^th birthday.

Mr. Thomas 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 or the advisor). Mr. Fink is treated as an “interested person” because of his recent employment with ACC and American Century Services, LLC (ACS). The other directors (more than three-fourths of the total number) are independent. They are not employees, directors or officers of, and have no financial interest in, ACC or any of its wholly owned, direct or indirect, subsidiaries, including ACIM, American Century Investment Services, Inc. (ACIS) and ACS, and they do not have any other affiliations, positions or relationships that would cause them to be considered “interested persons” under the Investment Company Act. 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 table presents additional information about the directors. The mailing address for each director is 4500 Main Street, Kansas City, Missouri 64111.

Approval of Management Agreement

The Fund’s Board of Directors unanimously approved the initial management agreement pursuant to which American Century Investment Management, Inc. (the “Advisor”) acts as the investment advisor for the Fund. Under Section 15(c) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), new contracts for investment advisory services, including subadvisory contracts, are required to be approved by a majority of a fund’s independent directors and to be evaluated on an annual basis thereafter.

In advance of the Board’s consideration, the Advisor provided information to the Directors concerning the Fund, the Advisor, and the proposed subadvisors. The materials circulated and the discussions held detailed the investment objective and strategy proposed to be utilized, the Fund’s characteristics and key attributes, the rationale for launching the Fund, the experience of those designated to manage the Fund, the proposed pricing, and the markets in which the Fund would be sold. The information considered and the discussions held included, but were not limited to:

• the nature, extent, and quality of investment management, shareholder services, and other services to be provided to the Fund;

• the wide range of other programs and services to be provided to the Fund and its shareholders on a routine and non-routine basis;

• the Fund’s proposed investment objective and strategy, including a discussion of the Fund’s anticipated investment performance and proposed benchmark;

• the cost of owning the Fund compared to the cost of owning similar funds;

• the compliance policies, procedures, and regulatory experience of the Fund's service providers; and

• any collateral benefits derived by the Advisor from the management of the Fund.

American Century Investments’ funds utilize a unified management fee structure. 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 to 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 Rule 12b-1 distribution fees, all other components of the total fees charged by these other funds may be increased without shareholder approval. The Advisor and Board believe the unified fee structure is a benefit to fund shareholders because it clearly discloses to shareholders the cost of owning fund shares, and because 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 and comparing the Fund’s unified fee to the total expense ratio of peer funds. The unified fee charged to shareholders of the Fund was above the median of the total expense ratios of the Fund’s peer universe. The Board also considered the Fund’s innovative and differentiating investment approach, which incorporates (i) a flexible and opportunistic investment strategy, (ii) tactical asset allocation among multiple managers, (iii) dedicated third party manager selection and evaluation, and (iv) active investment overlay and hedging. In addition, the Board recognized that the Fund does not have a well-developed competitive set within its peer universe. Based on all of the information considered, the independent Directors concluded that the Fund’s unified fee was reasonable.

When considering the approval of the management agreement for the Fund, the independent Directors considered the entrepreneurial risk that the Advisor assumes in launching a new fund. In particular, they considered the effect of the unified management fee structure and the fact that the Advisor will assume a substantial part of the start-up costs of the Fund and the risk that the Fund will not grow to a level that will become profitable to the Advisor. The Board recognized that that the

34

Advisor will continue to monitor and discuss with the independent Directors marketplace feedback and any future competitive product developments on an ongoing basis.

The Board considered the position that the Fund would take in the lineup of the American Century Investments’ family of funds and the benefits to shareholders of existing funds of the broadened product offering. Finally, while not specifically discussed, but important in the decision to approve the management agreement, is the Directors’ familiarity with the Advisor. The Board oversees and evaluates on a continuous basis the nature and quality of all services the Advisor performs for other funds within the American Century Investments’ complex. As such, the Directors have confidence in the Advisor’s integrity and competence in providing services to the Fund. The Directors noted that the Advisor will play a significant role in the oversight of the subadvisors to the Fund and would actively monitor both investment and operational matters presented by the Fund.

The independent Directors considered all of the information provided by the Advisor and the independent Directors’ independent counsel in connection with the approval. They determined that the information was sufficient for them to evaluate the management agreement for the Fund. In connection with their review, the Directors did not identify any single factor as being all-important or controlling, and each Director may have attributed different levels of importance to different factors. The independent Directors concluded that the overall arrangements between the Fund and the Advisor, as provided in the management agreement, were fair and reasonable in light of the services to be provided and should be approved.

Approval of Subadvisory Agreements

The Fund is a multi-manager fund, which means that the Advisor has retained several subadvisors, each employing its own particular investment strategy, to manage and make investment decisions with respect to the Fund’s assets. The Advisor has engaged Perella Weinberg Partners Capital Management LP (“PWP”) to manage a portion of the Fund and to identify and recommend other underlying subadvisors to manage distinct investment strategies. PWP uses a flexible and opportunistic investment strategy that allocates Fund assets among underlying subadvisors with expertise in a particular investment strategy, and supplements those strategies with its own direct investment management and hedging strategies. PWP also provides tactical allocation of assets among the various underlying subadvisors and a framework for the risk management and investment monitoring of the Fund. The Advisor provides oversight of each of these functions.

The Fund’s Board of Directors, in considering the approval of the subadvisory agreement with PWP (the “PWP Agreement”) and each underlying subadvisory agreement between the Advisor and each of the Fund’s underlying subadvisors (collectively, with the PWP Agreement, the “Subadvisory Agreements”), received detailed information regarding the Fund, its investment objective and strategy, characteristics, and key attributes, as well as the experience of those designated to manage the Fund.

The Board received a recommendation from the Advisor to approve PWP as a subadvisor and a recommendation from the Advisor and PWP to approve Achievement Asset Management LLC,^* Passport Capital, LLC, Sirios Capital Management, L.P., and Three Bridges Capital, LP (the “Underlying Subadvisors”) as subadvisors for the Fund. The Underlying Subadvisors and PWP are each referred to herein as a “Subadvisor” and, collectively, as the “Subadvisors.” The information considered and the discussions held with regard to the Subadvisors included, but were not limited to:

• the nature, extent, and quality of investment management services to be provided by each Subadvisor to the Fund;

• each Subadvisor’s breadth of experience in managing its particular investment strategy and in managing investments generally;

• the expected composition and liquidity of the securities held in each Subadvisor’s portion of the Fund;

*Achievement Asset Management LLC is no longer managing Fund assets, effective November 13, 2015.

35

• data comparing the performance of each Subadvisor’s proposed investment strategies employed in similar accounts to appropriate benchmarks; and

• the compliance policies, procedures, and regulatory experience of the Subadvisors, including management of other 1940 Act registered investment companies, if applicable.

The independent Directors reviewed the proposed fees for the Subadvisors, noting that the compensation paid to each Subadvisor would be paid by the Advisor out of the Fund’s unified fee. They also noted that the terms of each Subadvisory Agreement was the result of arms’ length negotiations between the Advisor and the Subadvisor. The independent Directors considered all of the information provided by the Advisor, the Subadvisors, and the independent Directors’ independent counsel in connection with the approval, and concluded that they had sufficient information to evaluate the proposed agreements on behalf of the Fund. In connection with their review, the Directors did not identify any single factor as being all-important or controlling, and each Director may have attributed different levels of importance to different factors. Based on all of the information considered, the independent Directors concluded that the Subadvisory Agreements with each Subadvisor were fair and reasonable in light of the services to be provided and should be approved.

Concerns About China, Global Growth, and Central Bank Policies Triggered Market Volatility

Widespread concerns about global growth sparked sharp financial market volatility during the period, which covered August through October of 2015. China was the key catalyst; challenges and events in China during the three-month period included slowing economic growth, a sudden currency devaluation, and massive monetary policy intervention by China’s central bank. These events rippled through the global markets in August and September, contributing to the decision by the U.S. Federal Reserve (the Fed) in September to delay raising its short-term interest rate target for fear of further roiling the markets.

The Fed’s delay, along with indications of further monetary policy easing by other major central banks, helped stabilize conditions in October. Some of the higher-risk markets and sectors that had sold off strongly in August and September rebounded in October, reducing their losses. But we’re not out of the woods yet. After stabilizing the markets by not raising interest rates, the Fed indicated in October that it could still raise rates by year end. This spurred demand for the U.S. dollar, which could trigger further volatility in dollar-sensitive areas such as commodities and emerging markets.

We expect China’s economy, global growth concerns, and central bank policies to continue to be the focus of the financial markets in coming months, accompanied by further volatility. This could present both challenges and opportunities for active investment managers. In this environment, we continue to believe in a disciplined, diversified, long-term investment approach, using professionally managed stock and bond portfolios to meet financial goals. We appreciate your continued trust in us.

Sincerely,

Jonathan Thomas

President and Chief Executive Officer

American Century Investments

Portfolio Commentary

Subadvisor: Perella Weinberg Partners Capital Management LP

Portfolio Managers: Chris Bittman, Kent Muckel and Darren Myers

Performance Summary

This discussion of AC Alternatives Income Fund performance reflects the period from July 31, 2015 (the date the fund began investing in accordance with its investment strategy) through its fiscal year end on October 31, 2015. During this period, the fund generated a return of -2.44%.* This compares to returns of 0.42% for the Barclays U.S. Universal Bond Index, -0.63% for the S&P 500 Index, and 0.12% for a custom blended benchmark comprised of 60% Barclays U.S. Universal Bond Index and 40% S&P 500 Index.

Market Sentiment Shifted

Although this commentary covers a time frame of just three months, there were two distinct periods of investment sentiment. August and September were characterized by broad risk-averse sentiment in the markets, with equities trading off significantly. Equity markets were highly volatile as investors weighed concerns over slowing growth in China, uncertainty over U.S. Federal Reserve policy changes, and energy market volatility.

During these two months, the fund benefited from an underweight to equity-like assets relative to its blended benchmark, which contains a 40% allocation to equities, represented by the S&P 500 Index. However, this benefit was partially offset by an allocation to Master Limited Partnerships (MLPs) within the fund’s equity-like allocation. The MLP market, as measured by the Alerian MLP Index, fell -19.48% during August and September as investors continued to be wary of merger activity in the space and concerned over distribution rate cuts. Credit exposure was also a headwind during the sell-off as spreads widened, particularly on high-yield debt.

October Rebound for Risk-Sensitive Holdings

Later in the period, risk-sensitive assets rebounded sharply, reversing a portion of the losses in the prior two months. The bounce in early October was a near mirror image of the prior months’ declines, as many sectors that had been depressed experienced recoveries. This included securities with high foreign sales exposure, high energy exposure, and high betas. The portfolio’s allocations to MLPs and high-yield bonds benefited from sharp rebounds in those markets. However, bank loans and select segments of structured credit, including collateralized loan obligations and asset-backed securities, generally did not participate in this snapback rally, either remaining flat for the month or generating negative returns. Exposure to these areas weighed on the fund’s performance in October. The fund’s allocation to Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) and high dividend equities rallied but were not able to fully keep pace with the broader equity markets.

Positioning for the Future

The portfolio’s subadvisors actively reallocated their exposures during the period. The general market volatility and wide return dispersion across sectors, regions, and individual securities provided ample opportunity to shift towards newly attractive areas. The portfolio is tilted towards niches of the fixed income market where security selection remains a key driver of returns. A cautious view towards credit markets is being reflected in the portfolio's positioning. The fund holds cash and cash alternatives in order to continue to be able to take advantage of market opportunities that arise during bouts of volatility.

* All fund returns referenced in this commentary are for Investor Class shares. Total returns for periods less than one year are not annualized. Performance for other share classes will vary due to differences in fee structure; when Investor Class performance exceeds that of the fund's benchmark, other share classes may not.

Shareholder Fee Example 

Fund shareholders may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and redemption/exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service (12b-1) fees; and other fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in your fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing cost of investing in other mutual funds.

The example is based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from May 1, 2015 to October 31, 2015 (except as noted).

Actual Expenses

The table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses for each class. You may use the information, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. First, identify the share class you own. Then simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

If you hold Investor Class shares of any American Century Investments fund, or 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 accountsinclude individual accounts, joint accounts, UGMA/UTMA accounts, personal trusts, Coverdell Education Savings Accounts and IRAs (including traditional, Roth, Rollover, SEP-, SARSEP- and SIMPLE-IRAs), and certain other retirement accounts. If you have only business, business retirement, employer-sponsored or American Century Investments Brokerage accounts, you are currently not subject to this fee. If you are subject to the Account Maintenance Fee, your account value could be reduced by the fee amount.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The table also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual expense ratio of each class of your fund and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the actual return of a fund’s share class. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

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

(1) Expenses are equal to the class's annualized expense ratio listed in the table above, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184, 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 May 29, 2015 (fund inception) through October 31, 2015.

(3) 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 156, the number of days in the period from May 29, 2015 (fund inception) through October 31, 2015, divided by 365 to reflect the period. Had the class been available for the full period, the expenses paid during the period would have been higher.

(4) Ending account value and expenses paid during the period assumes the class had been available throughout the entire period and are calculated using the class’s annualized expense ratio listed in the table above.

Notes to Financial Statements

OCTOBER 31, 2015

1. Organization

American Century Capital Portfolios, Inc. (the corporation) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company and is organized as a Maryland corporation. AC Alternatives Income Fund (the fund) is one fund in a series issued by the corporation. The fund is nondiversified as defined under the 1940 Act. The fund’s investment objective is to seek to provide diverse sources of income.

The fund offers the Investor Class, the Institutional Class, the A Class, the C Class, the R Class and the R6 Class. The A Class may incur an initial sales charge. The A Class and C Class may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge. The share classes differ principally in their respective sales charges and distribution and shareholder servicing expenses and arrangements. The Institutional Class and R6 Class shareholders do not require the same level of shareholder and administrative services from American Century Investment Management, Inc. (ACIM) (the investment advisor) as shareholders of other classes. In addition, financial intermediaries do not receive any service, distribution or administrative fees for the R6 Class. As a result, the Institutional Class and R6 Class are charged lower unified management fees. All classes of the fund commenced operations on May 29, 2015, the fund's inception date.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the fund in preparation of its financial statements. The fund is an investment company and follows accounting and reporting guidance in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. This may require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Management evaluated the impact of events or transactions occurring through the date the financial statements were issued that would merit recognition or disclosure.

Investment Valuations — The fund determines the fair value of its investments and computes its net asset value per share at the close of regular trading (usually 4 p.m. Eastern time) on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on each day the NYSE is open. The Board of Directors has adopted valuation policies and procedures to guide the investment advisor in the fund’s investment valuation process and to provide methodologies for the oversight of the fund’s pricing function.

Fixed income securities are valued at the evaluated mean as provided by independent pricing services or at the mean of the most recent bid and asked prices as provided by investment dealers. Corporate bonds and bank loan obligations are valued using market models that consider trade data, quotations from dealers and active market makers, relevant yield curve and spread data, creditworthiness, trade data or market information on comparable securities, and other relevant security specific information. Mortgage-related and asset-backed securities are valued based on models that consider trade data, prepayment and default projections, benchmark yield and spread data and estimated cash flows of each tranche of the issuer. Collateralized loan obligations are valued based on discounted cash flow models that consider trade and economic data, prepayment assumptions and default projections. Fixed income securities initially expressed in local currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the mean of the appropriate currency exchange rate at the close of the NYSE as provided by an independent pricing service.

Equity securities that are listed or traded on a domestic securities exchange are valued at the last reported sales price or at the official closing price as provided by the exchange. Equity securities traded on foreign securities exchanges are generally valued at the closing price of such securities on the exchange where primarily traded or at the close of the NYSE, if that is earlier. If no last sales price is reported, or if local convention or regulation so provides, the mean of the latest bid and asked prices may be used. Securities traded over-the-counter are valued at the mean of the latest bid and asked prices, the last sales price, or the official closing price. Equity securities initially expressed in local currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the mean of the appropriate currency exchange rate at the close of the NYSE as provided by an independent pricing service.

20

Open-end management investment companies are valued at the reported net asset value per share. Swap agreements and over-the-counter options contracts are valued at an evaluated price as provided by independent pricing services or independent brokers. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are valued at the mean of the appropriate forward exchange rate at the close of the NYSE as provided by an independent pricing service. Exchange-traded options contracts are valued based on quoted prices as provided by the appropriate exchange. Investments initially expressed in local currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the mean of the appropriate currency exchange rate at the close of the NYSE as provided by an independent pricing service.

If the fund determines that the market price for an investment is not readily available or the valuation methods mentioned above do not reflect an investment’s fair value, such investment is valued as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors or its delegate, in accordance with policies and procedures adopted by the Board of Directors. In its determination of fair value, the fund may review several factors including, but not limited to, market information regarding the specific investment or comparable investments and correlation with other investment types, futures indices or general market indicators. Circumstances that may cause the fund to use these procedures to value an investment include, but are not limited to: an investment has been declared in default or is distressed; trading in a security has been suspended during the trading day or a security is not actively trading on its principal exchange; prices received from a regular pricing source are deemed unreliable; or there is a foreign market holiday and no trading occurred.

The fund monitors for significant events occurring after the close of an investment’s primary exchange but before the fund’s net asset value per share is determined. Significant events may include, but are not limited to: corporate announcements and transactions; governmental action and political unrest that could impact a specific investment or an investment sector; or armed conflicts, natural disasters and similar events that could affect investments in a specific country or region. The fund also monitors for significant fluctuations between domestic and foreign markets, as evidenced by the U.S. market or such other indicators that the Board of Directors, or its delegate, deems appropriate. If significant fluctuations in foreign markets are identified, the fund may apply a model-derived factor to the closing price of equity securities traded on foreign securities exchanges. The factor is based on observable market data as provided by an independent pricing service.

Security Transactions — Security transactions are accounted for as of the trade date. Net realized gains and losses are determined on the identified cost basis, which is also used for federal income tax purposes.

Investment Income — Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis and includes paydown gain (loss) and accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums. Dividend income less foreign taxes withheld, if any, is recorded as of the ex-dividend date. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or long-term capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. The fund may estimate the components of distributions received that may be considered nontaxable distributions or long-term capital gain distributions for income tax purposes.

Securities Sold Short — The fund enters into short sales, which is selling securities it does not own, as part of its normal investment activities. Upon selling a security short, the fund will segregate cash, cash equivalents or other appropriate liquid securities in at least an amount equal to the current market value of the securities sold short until the fund replaces the borrowed security. Interest earned on segregated cash for securities sold short is reflected as interest income. The fund is required to pay any dividends or interest due on securities sold short. Such dividends and interest are recorded as an expense. The fund may pay fees or charges to the broker on the assets borrowed for securities sold short. These fees are calculated daily based upon the value of each security sold short and a rate that is dependent on the availability of such security. If the market price of a security increases after the fund borrows the security, the fund may suffer a loss when it replaces the borrowed security at the higher price. Any loss will be increased by the amount of compensation, interest or dividends, and transaction costs the fund must pay to the lender of the borrowed security. Liabilities for securities sold short are valued daily and changes in value are recorded as change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on securities sold short. The fund records realized gain (loss) on a security sold short when it is terminated by the fund and includes as a component of net realized gain (loss) on securities sold short transactions.

Foreign Currency Translations — All assets and liabilities initially expressed in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at prevailing exchange rates at period end. The fund may enter into spot foreign currency exchange contracts to facilitate transactions denominated in a foreign currency. Purchases and sales of investment securities, dividend and interest income, spot foreign currency exchange contracts, and expenses are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. Net realized and unrealized foreign currency exchange gains or losses related to investment securities are a component of net realized gain (loss) on investment transactions and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments, respectively.

21

Segregated Assets — In accordance with the 1940 Act, the fund segregates assets on its books and records to cover certain types of investments, including, but not limited to, short sales, futures contracts, options contracts, forward commitments, when-issued securities, swap agreements and certain forward foreign currency exchange contracts. ACIM monitors, on a daily basis, the securities segregated to ensure the fund designates a sufficient amount of liquid assets, marked-to-market daily. The fund may also receive assets or be required to pledge assets at the custodian bank or with a broker for margin requirements on short sales, futures contracts, options contracts, forward commitments and swap agreements.

Income Tax Status — It is the fund’s policy to distribute substantially all net investment income and net realized gains to shareholders and to otherwise qualify as a regulated investment company under provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, no provision has been made for income taxes. The fund files U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S. tax returns as applicable. The fund's tax returns are subject to examination by the relevant taxing authority until expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, which is generally three years from the date of filing but can be longer in certain jurisdictions. At this time, management believes there are no uncertain tax positions which, based on their technical merit, would not be sustained upon examination and for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.

Multiple Class — All shares of the fund represent an equal pro rata interest in the net assets of the class to which such shares belong, and have identical voting, dividend, liquidation and other rights and the same terms and conditions, except for class specific expenses and exclusive rights to vote on matters affecting only individual classes. Income, non-class specific expenses, and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses of the fund are allocated to each class of shares based on their relative net assets.

Distributions to Shareholders — Distributions from net investment income, if any, are generally declared and paid quarterly, but may be paid less frequently. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are generally declared and paid annually.

Indemnifications — Under the corporation’s organizational documents, its officers and directors are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the fund. In addition, in the normal course of business, the fund enters into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against a fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered by management to be remote.

3. Fees and Transactions with Related Parties

Certain officers and directors of the corporation are also officers and/or directors of American Century Companies, Inc. (ACC). The corporation’s investment advisor, ACIM, the corporation's distributor, American Century Investment Services, Inc. (ACIS), and the corporation’s transfer agent, American Century Services, LLC, are wholly owned, directly or indirectly, by ACC. ACIM has engaged Perella Weinberg Partners Capital Management LP (PWP) as a subadvisor for the fund. PWP is responsible for making recommendations with respect to hiring, terminating, or replacing the fund’s underlying subadvisors. The fund’s underlying subadvisors at the period end were Arrowpoint Asset Management, LLC, Good Hill Partners LP, Sankaty Advisors, LLC and Third Avenue Management LLC. PWP determines the percentage of the fund’s portfolio allocated to each subadvisor, including PWP, in order to seek to achieve the fund’s investment objective. ACIM is responsible for entering into subadvisory agreements and overseeing the activities of each of the subadvisors including monitoring compliance with fund objectives, strategies and restrictions. ACIM pays all costs associated with retaining the subadvisors of the fund. ACIM and the fund’s subadvisors own 95% of the shares of the fund. Related parties do not invest in the fund for the purpose of exercising management or control.

Management Fees — The corporation has entered into a management agreement with ACIM, under which ACIM provides the fund with investment advisory and management services in exchange for a single, unified management fee (the fee) per class. The agreement provides that all expenses of managing and operating the fund, except distribution and service fees, brokerage expenses, taxes, interest, fees and expenses of the independent directors (including legal counsel fees), and extraordinary expenses, will be paid by ACIM. The fee is computed and accrued daily based on each class's daily net assets and paid monthly in arrears. The annual management fee is 2.00% for the Investor Class, A Class, C Class and R Class, 1.80% for the Institutional Class and 1.65% for the R6 Class.

22

Distribution and Service Fees — The Board of Directors has adopted a separate Master Distribution and Individual Shareholder Services Plan for each of the A Class, C Class and R Class (collectively the plans), pursuant to Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act. The plans provide that the A Class will pay ACIS an annual distribution and service fee of 0.25%. The plans provide that the C Class will pay ACIS an annual distribution and service fee of 1.00%, of which 0.25% is paid for individual shareholder services and 0.75% is paid for distribution services. The plans provide that the R Class will pay ACIS an annual distribution and service fee of 0.50%. The fees are computed and accrued daily based on each class’s daily net assets and paid monthly in arrears. The fees are used to pay financial intermediaries for distribution and individual shareholder services. Fees incurred under the plans during the period May 29, 2015 (fund inception) through October 31, 2015 are detailed in the Statement of Operations.

Directors' Fees and Expenses — The Board of Directors is responsible for overseeing the investment advisor’s management and operations of the fund. The directors receive detailed information about the fund and its investment advisor regularly throughout the year, and meet at least quarterly with management of the investment advisor to review reports about fund operations. The fund’s officers do not receive compensation from the fund.

Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses — The fund may invest in mutual funds, exchange-traded funds, and business development companies (the acquired funds). The fund will indirectly realize its pro rata share of the fees and expenses of the acquired funds in which it invests. These indirect fees and expenses are not paid out of the fund's assets but are reflected in the return realized by the fund on its investment in the acquired funds.

4. Investment Transactions

Purchases of investment securities and securities sold short, excluding short-term investments, for the period May 29, 2015 (fund inception) through October 31, 2015 totaled $54,707,948, of which $3,056,935 represented U.S. Treasury and Government Agency obligations.

6. Fair Value Measurements

The fund’s investments valuation process is based on several considerations and may use multiple inputs to determine the fair value of the investments held by the fund. In conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the inputs used to determine a valuation are classified into three broad levels.

• Level 1 valuation inputs consist of unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical investments.

• Level 2 valuation inputs consist of direct or indirect observable market data (including quoted prices for comparable investments, evaluations of subsequent market events, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.). These inputs also consist of quoted prices for identical investments initially expressed in local currencies that are adjusted through translation into U.S. dollars.

• Level 3 valuation inputs consist of unobservable data (including a fund’s own assumptions).

The level classification is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair valuation measurement. The valuation inputs are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in these securities or other financial instruments. There were no significant transfers between levels during the period.

The following is a summary of the level classifications as of period end. The Schedule of Investments provides additional information on the fund’s portfolio holdings.

7. Derivative Instruments

Credit Risk — The fund is subject to credit risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The value of a bond generally declines as the credit quality of its issuer declines. Credit default swap agreements enable a fund to buy/sell protection against a credit event of a specific issuer or index. A fund may attempt to enhance returns by selling protection or attempt to mitigate credit risk by buying protection. The buyer/seller of credit protection against a security or basket of securities may pay/receive an up-front or periodic payment to compensate for/against potential default events. A fund will segregate cash, cash equivalents or other appropriate liquid securities on its records in amounts sufficient to meet requirements. Changes in value, including the periodic amounts of interest to be paid or received on swap agreements, are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on swap agreements. Realized gain or loss is recorded upon receipt or payment of a periodic settlement or termination of swap agreements. Net realized and unrealized gains or losses occurring during the holding period of swap agreements are a component of net realized gain (loss) on swap agreement transactions and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on swap agreements, respectively. The risks of entering into swap agreements include the possible lack of liquidity, failure of the counterparty to meet its obligations, and that there may be unfavorable changes in the underlying investments or instruments. The fund's average notional amount held during the period was $70,500.

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 total return swap agreements or purchase put option contracts based on an equity index or specific security in order to manage its exposure to changes in market conditions. The risks of entering into equity price risk derivative instruments include the possible lack of liquidity, failure of the counterparty to meet its obligations, and that there may be unfavorable changes in the underlying investments or instruments.

A fund may purchase a put option contract to protect against declines in market value on the underlying index or security. Option contracts purchased by a fund are accounted for in the same manner as marketable portfolio securities. The proceeds from securities sold through the exercise of option contracts are decreased by the premium paid to purchase the option contracts. A fund recognizes a realized gain or loss when the option contract is exercised or expires. Net realized and unrealized gains or losses occurring during the holding period of options contracts are a component of net realized gain (loss) on investment transactions and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments, respectively. The fund’s exposure to these equity price risk derivative instruments at period end was 101 options contracts.

A fund may enter into total return swap agreements in order to attempt to obtain or preserve a particular return or spread at a lower cost than obtaining a return or spread through purchases and/or sales of instruments in other markets or gain exposure to certain markets in the most economical way possible. A fund will segregate cash, cash equivalents or other appropriate liquid securities on its records in amounts sufficient to meet requirements. Changes in value, including the periodic amounts of interest to be paid or received on swap agreements, are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on swap agreements. Realized gain or loss is recorded upon receipt or payment of a periodic settlement or termination of swap agreements. Net realized and unrealized gains or losses occurring during the holding period of swap agreements are a component of net realized gain (loss) on swap agreement transactions and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on swap agreements, respectively. The fund's average swap agreement units held during the period was 6,232.

Foreign Currency Risk — The fund is subject to foreign currency exchange rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The value of foreign investments held by a fund may be significantly affected by changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The dollar value of a foreign security generally decreases when the value of the dollar rises against the foreign currency in which the security is denominated and tends to increase when the value of the dollar declines against such foreign currency. A fund bears the risk of an unfavorable change in the foreign currency exchange rate underlying the forward foreign currency exchange contract or purchased call option contract. Additionally, losses, up to the fair value, may arise if the counterparties do not perform under the contract terms.

A fund may purchase a call option contract for the right to purchase a specific amount of a currency at a specific price on a specific date in the future. Option contracts purchased by a fund are accounted for in the same manner as marketable portfolio securities. The cost of currencies received through the exercise of call option contracts is increased by the premium paid to purchase the option contracts. A fund recognizes a realized gain or loss when the option contract expires. Net realized and unrealized gains or losses occurring during the holding period of options contracts are a component of net realized gain (loss) on investment transactions and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments, respectively. The fund’s exposure to foreign currency option contracts at period end was $350,000.

25

A fund may enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts to reduce a fund's exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations or to gain exposure to the fluctuations in the value of foreign currencies. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are transactions that require a specific amount of a currency to be delivered at a specific exchange rate on a specific date in the future. The net U.S. dollar value of foreign currency underlying all contractual commitments held by a fund and the resulting unrealized appreciation or depreciation are determined daily. Realized gain or loss is recorded upon the termination of the forward foreign currency exchange 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. The fund’s average U.S. dollar exposure to forward foreign currency exchange contracts held during the period was $157,370.

		$	(12,067	)		$	(760,162	)

Counterparty Risk — The fund is subject to counterparty risk, or the risk that an institution will fail to perform its obligations to the fund. The investment advisor attempts to minimize counterparty risk prior to entering into transactions by performing extensive reviews of the creditworthiness of all potential counterparties. The fund may also enter into agreements that provide provisions for legally enforceable master netting arrangements to manage the credit risk between counterparties related to over-the-counter option contracts, swap agreements and/or forward foreign currency exchange contracts. A master netting arrangement provides for the net settlement of multiple contracts with a single counterparty through a single payment in the event of default or termination of any one contract. To mitigate counterparty risk, the fund may receive assets or be required to pledge assets at the custodian bank or with a broker as designated under prescribed collateral provisions.

26

The fund does not offset assets and liabilities subject to master netting arrangements on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities for financial reporting purposes. At the period end, the counterparties associated with the fund’s asset derivatives and liability derivatives that are subject to legally enforceable offsetting arrangements had no amounts that were eligible for offset.  The net exposure (the amount receivable from the counterparty or amount payable to the counterparty in the event of default or termination) is detailed in the Schedule of Investments. 

8. Risk Factors

ACIM utilizes multiple subadvisors to manage the fund’s assets, each employing its own particular investment strategy.  Multi-manager strategies can increase the fund's portfolio turnover rate, which could result in higher levels of realized capital gains or losses, higher brokerage commissions and other transaction costs.

The fund’s investments in secured and unsecured participations in bank loan obligations and assignments of such loans may create substantial risk. The market for bank loans may not be highly liquid and the fund may have difficulty selling them. The fund’s bank loan investments typically will result in the fund having a contractual relationship only with the lender, not with the borrower. In connection with purchasing loan participations, the fund generally will have no right to enforce compliance by borrowers with loan terms nor any set off rights, and the fund may not benefit directly from any posted collateral. As a result, the fund may be subject to the credit risk of both the borrower and the lender selling the participation.

The fund may invest in collateralized debt obligations, collateralized loan obligations and other related instruments. Collateralized debt obligations are subject to credit, interest rate, valuation, and prepayment and extension risks. These securities also are subject to risk of default on the underlying asset, particularly during periods of economic downturn.

The fund may invest in foreign securities, which are generally riskier than U.S. securities. As a result the fund may be subject to foreign risk, meaning that political events (such as civil unrest, national elections and imposition of exchange controls), social and economic events (such as labor strikes and rising inflation), and natural disasters occurring in a country where the fund invests could cause the fund’s investments in that country to experience losses. For these and other reasons, securities of foreign issuers may be less liquid and more volatile. Investing in securities of companies located in emerging market countries generally is riskier than investing in securities of companies located in foreign developed countries.

Issuers of high-yield securities (also known as “junk bonds”) are more vulnerable to real or perceived economic changes (such as an economic downturn or a prolonged period of rising interest rates), political changes or adverse developments specific to an issuer. These factors may be more likely to cause an issuer of low quality bonds to default on its obligations.

The fund may also be subject to liquidity risk. During periods of market turbulence or unusually low trading activity, in order to meet redemptions it may be necessary for the fund to sell securities at prices that could have an adverse effect on the fund’s share price.

Mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities are subject to additional risks including prepayment and extension risk. Mortgage-backed securities offered by non-governmental issuers are subject to specific risks, such as the failure of private insurers to meet their obligations and unexpectedly high rates of default on the mortgages backing the securities. Other asset-backed securities are subject to risks similar to those associated with mortgage-backed securities, as well as risks associated with the nature and servicing of the assets underlying the securities. Asset-backed securities may not have the benefit of a security interest in collateral comparable to that of mortgage assets, resulting in additional credit risk.

9. Federal Tax Information

The book-basis character of distributions made during the year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. These differences reflect the differing character of certain income items and net realized gains and losses for financial statement and tax purposes, and may result in reclassification among certain capital accounts on the financial statements. There were no distributions paid by the fund during the period May 29, 2015 (fund inception) through October 31, 2015.

27

As of October 31, 2015, the federal tax cost of investments and the components of distributable earnings on a tax-basis were as follows:

Federal tax cost of investments	$	54,194,753
Gross tax appreciation of investments	$	199,378
Gross tax depreciation of investments	(1,796,460		)
Net tax appreciation (depreciation) of investments	(1,597,082		)
Net tax appreciation (depreciation) on securities sold short	(250		)
Net tax appreciation (depreciation) on derivatives and translation of assets and liabilities in foreign currencies	(228		)
Net tax appreciation (depreciation)	$	(1,597,560	)
Undistributed ordinary income	—
Accumulated short-term capital losses	$	(305,742	)
Late-year ordinary loss deferral	$	(96,286	)

The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is attributable primarily to the realization for tax purposes of unrealized gains (losses) on swap agreements.

Accumulated capital losses represent net capital loss carryovers that may be used to offset future realized capital gains for federal income tax purposes. The capital loss carryovers may be carried forward for an unlimited period. Future capital loss carryover utilization in any given year may be subject to Internal Revenue Code limitations.

Loss deferrals represent certain qualified losses that the fund has elected to treat as having been incurred in the following fiscal year for federal income tax purposes.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of American Century Capital Portfolios, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of AC Alternatives^TM Income Fund (the “Fund”), one of the funds constituting American Century Capital Portfolios, Inc., as of October 31, 2015, and the related statements of operations, changes in net assets, and the financial highlights for the period from May 29, 2015 (commencement date) through October 31, 2015. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2015, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audit provides 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 AC Alternatives^TM Income Fund of American Century Capital Portfolios, Inc. as of October 31, 2015, and the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets, and the financial highlights for the period from May 29, 2015 (commencement date) through October 31, 2015, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Management

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 board has adopted a mandatory retirement age for directors who are not “interested persons,” as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act (independent directors). Independent directors shall retire by December 31 of the year in which they reach their 75^th birthday.

Mr. Thomas 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 or the advisor). Mr. Fink is treated as an “interested person” because of his recent employment with ACC and American Century Services, LLC (ACS). The other directors (more than three-fourths of the total number) are independent. They are not employees, directors or officers of, and have no financial interest in, ACC or any of its wholly owned, direct or indirect, subsidiaries, including ACIM, American Century Investment Services, Inc. (ACIS) and ACS, and they do not have any other affiliations, positions or relationships that would cause them to be considered “interested persons” under the Investment Company Act. 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 table presents additional information about the directors. The mailing address for each director is 4500 Main Street, Kansas City, Missouri 64111.

Approval of Management Agreement

The Fund’s Board of Directors unanimously approved the initial management agreement pursuant to which American Century Investment Management, Inc. (the “Advisor”) acts as the investment advisor for the Fund. Under Section 15(c) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), new contracts for investment advisory services, including subadvisory contracts, are required to be approved by a majority of a fund’s independent directors and to be evaluated on an annual basis thereafter.

In advance of the Board’s consideration, the Advisor provided information to the Directors concerning the Fund, the Advisor, and the proposed subadvisors. The materials circulated and the discussions held detailed the investment objective and strategy proposed to be utilized, the Fund’s characteristics and key attributes, the rationale for launching the Fund, the experience of those designated to manage the Fund, the proposed pricing, and the markets in which the Fund would be sold. The information considered and the discussions held included, but were not limited to:

• the nature, extent, and quality of investment management, shareholder services, and other services to be provided to the Fund;

• the wide range of other programs and services to be provided to the Fund and its shareholders on a routine and non-routine basis;

• the Fund’s proposed investment objective and strategy, including a discussion of the Fund’s anticipated investment performance and proposed benchmark;

• the cost of owning the Fund compared to the cost of owning similar funds;

• the compliance policies, procedures, and regulatory experience of the Fund's service providers; and

• any collateral benefits derived by the Advisor from the management of the Fund.

American Century Investments’ funds utilize a unified management fee structure. 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 to 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 Rule 12b-1 distribution fees, all other components of the total fees charged by these other funds may be increased without shareholder approval. The Advisor and Board believe the unified fee structure is a benefit to fund shareholders because it clearly discloses to shareholders the cost of owning fund shares, and because 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 and comparing the Fund’s unified fee to the total expense ratio of peer funds. The unified fee charged to shareholders of the Fund was above the median of the total expense ratios of the Fund’s peer universe. The Board also considered the Fund’s innovative and differentiating investment approach, which incorporates (i) a flexible and opportunistic investment strategy, (ii) tactical asset allocation among multiple managers, (iii) dedicated third party manager selection and evaluation, and (iv) active investment overlay and hedging. In addition, the Board recognized that the Fund does not have a well-developed competitive set within its peer universe. Based on all of the information considered, the independent Directors concluded that the Fund’s unified fee was reasonable.

When considering the approval of the management agreement for the Fund, the independent Directors considered the entrepreneurial risk that the Advisor assumes in launching a new fund. In particular, they considered the effect of the unified management fee structure and the fact that the Advisor will assume a substantial part of the start-up costs of the Fund and the risk that the Fund will not grow to a level that will become profitable to the Advisor. The Board recognized that that the

34

Advisor will continue to monitor and discuss with the independent Directors marketplace feedback and any future competitive product developments on an ongoing basis.

The Board considered the position that the Fund would take in the lineup of the American Century Investments’ family of funds and the benefits to shareholders of existing funds of the broadened product offering. Finally, while not specifically discussed, but important in the decision to approve the management agreement, is the Directors’ familiarity with the Advisor. The Board oversees and evaluates on a continuous basis the nature and quality of all services the Advisor performs for other funds within the American Century Investments’ complex. As such, the Directors have confidence in the Advisor’s integrity and competence in providing services to the Fund. The Directors noted that the Advisor will play a significant role in the oversight of the subadvisors to the Fund and would actively monitor both investment and operational matters presented by the Fund.

The independent Directors considered all of the information provided by the Advisor and the independent Directors’ independent counsel in connection with the approval. They determined that the information was sufficient for them to evaluate the management agreement for the Fund. In connection with their review, the Directors did not identify any single factor as being all-important or controlling, and each Director may have attributed different levels of importance to different factors. The independent Directors concluded that the overall arrangements between the Fund and the Advisor, as provided in the management agreement, were fair and reasonable in light of the services to be provided and should be approved.

Approval of Subadvisory Agreements

The Fund is a multi-manager fund, which means that the Advisor has retained several subadvisors, each employing its own particular investment strategy, to manage and make investment decisions with respect to the Fund’s assets. The Advisor has engaged Perella Weinberg Partners Capital Management LP (“PWP”) to manage a portion of the Fund and to identify and recommend other underlying subadvisors to manage distinct investment strategies. PWP uses a flexible and opportunistic investment strategy that allocates Fund assets among underlying subadvisors with expertise in a particular investment strategy, and supplements those strategies with its own direct investment management and hedging strategies. PWP also provides tactical allocation of assets among the various underlying subadvisors and a framework for the risk management and investment monitoring of the Fund. The Advisor provides oversight of each of these functions.

The Fund’s Board of Directors, in considering the approval of the subadvisory agreement with PWP (the “PWP Agreement”) and each underlying subadvisory agreement between the Advisor and each of the Fund’s underlying subadvisors (collectively, with the PWP Agreement, the “Subadvisory Agreements”), received detailed information regarding the Fund, its investment objective and strategy, characteristics, and key attributes, as well as the experience of those designated to manage the Fund.

The Board received a recommendation from the Advisor to approve PWP as a subadvisor and a recommendation from the Advisor and PWP to approve Arrowpoint Asset Management, LLC, Good Hill Partners LP, Sankaty Advisors, LLC, and Third Avenue Management LLC* (the “Underlying Subadvisors”) as subadvisors for the Fund. The Underlying Subadvisors and PWP are each referred to herein as a “Subadvisor” and, collectively, as the “Subadvisors.” The information considered and the discussions held with regard to the Subadvisors included, but were not limited to:

• the nature, extent, and quality of investment management services to be provided by each Subadvisor to the Fund;

• each Subadvisor’s breadth of experience in managing its particular investment strategy and in managing investments generally;

• the expected composition and liquidity of the securities held in each Subadvisor’s portion of the Fund;

*Third Avenue Management LLC is no longer managing Fund assets, effective December 15, 2015.

35

• data comparing the performance of each Subadvisor’s proposed investment strategies employed in similar accounts to appropriate benchmarks; and

• the compliance policies, procedures, and regulatory experience of the Subadvisors, including management of other 1940 Act registered investment companies, if applicable.

The independent Directors reviewed the proposed fees for the Subadvisors, noting that the compensation paid to each Subadvisor would be paid by the Advisor out of the Fund’s unified fee. They also noted that the terms of each Subadvisory Agreement was the result of arms’ length negotiations between the Advisor and the Subadvisor. The independent Directors considered all of the information provided by the Advisor, the Subadvisors, and the independent Directors’ independent counsel in connection with the approval, and concluded that they had sufficient information to evaluate the proposed agreements on behalf of the Fund. In connection with their review, the Directors did not identify any single factor as being all-important or controlling, and each Director may have attributed different levels of importance to different factors. Based on all of the information considered, the independent Directors concluded that the Subadvisory Agreements with each Subadvisor were fair and reasonable in light of the services to be provided and should be approved.

Additional Information

Retirement Account Information

As required by law, distributions you receive from certain IRAs are subject to federal income tax withholding, unless you elect not to have withholding apply. Tax will be withheld on the total amount withdrawn even though you may be receiving amounts that are not subject to withholding, such as nondeductible contributions. In such case, excess amounts of withholding could occur. You may adjust your withholding election so that a greater or lesser amount will be withheld.

If you don’t want us to withhold on this amount, you must notify us to not withhold the federal income tax. You may notify us in writing or in certain situations by telephone or through other electronic means. For systematic withdrawals, your withholding election will remain in effect until revoked or changed by filing a new election. You have the right to revoke your election at any time.

Remember, even if you elect not to have income tax withheld, you are liable for paying income tax on the taxable portion of your withdrawal. If you elect not to have income tax withheld or you don’t have enough income tax withheld, you may be responsible for payment of estimated tax. You may incur penalties under the estimated tax rules if your withholding and estimated tax payments are not sufficient. You can reduce or defer the income tax on a distribution by directly or indirectly rolling such distribution over to another IRA or eligible plan. You should consult your tax advisor for additional information.

State tax will be withheld if, at the time of your distribution, your address is within one of the mandatory withholding states and you have federal income tax withheld (or as otherwise required by state law). State taxes will be withheld from your distribution in accordance with the respective state rules.

Distributions you receive from 403(b), 457 and qualified plans are subject to special tax and withholding rules.

Divergence in Economic Growth and Monetary Policies, Combined With China Turmoil, Triggered Market Volatility

Divergence between the U.S. and the rest of the world—along with China’s struggles, plunging commodity prices, capital market volatility, and risk-off trading—emerged as key themes during the reporting period. Global divergence described not only the relatively stronger economic growth enjoyed by the U.S. compared with most of the world, but also the related contrast between the U.S. Federal Reserve’s (the Fed’s) unwinding of monetary stimulus versus the continuation and expansion of stimulus by other major central banks. Central bank moves—including the Fed’s delayed normalization of its extremely low interest rate positioning—helped trigger large market swings.

In October 2014, the Fed ended its latest massive bond-buying program (quantitative easing, QE), leading to expectations that interest rates would rise. But while QE was halted in the U.S., other major central banks were starting or increasing QE as their economies faltered. This divergence helped fuel increased demand for the U.S. dollar and U.S. dollar-denominated assets, and put downward pressure on commodity prices, most notably crude oil, down over 40% for the reporting period. Low inflation also prevailed after oil prices plunged amid a supply glut and muted demand for commodities in general. In this environment, the U.S. dollar, U.S. growth stocks, and longer-maturity U.S. Treasuries generally benefited from “flight to quality” capital flows, while emerging market and commodity-related investments suffered significant declines.

We expect continued economic and monetary policy divergence between the U.S. and non-U.S. economies in the coming months, accompanied by further market volatility. This could present both challenges and opportunities for active investment managers. In this environment, we continue to believe in a disciplined, diversified, long-term investment approach, using professionally managed stock and bond portfolios to meet financial goals. We appreciate your continued trust in us.

Sincerely,

Jonathan Thomas

President and Chief Executive Officer

Portfolio Commentary

Portfolio Managers: Steven Brown and Steven Rodriguez

Performance Summary

Global Real Estate returned 1.70%* for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2015. By comparison, the FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Global Index (the fund’s benchmark) returned 0.69%, while the MSCI All Country World Index (a broad global stock market measure) returned -0.03%.

Global Real Estate Market Overview

Global real estate stocks advanced modestly for the 12-month period, outperforming the flat returns of the broad global equity indices. Property stocks began the period on a positive note, rallying in late 2014 and early 2015 thanks to low interest rates and economic stimulus measures taken by more than 20 of the world’s central banks. Healthy commercial property markets and continued investor demand for yield also aided global real estate stocks.

Property stocks reversed course in mid-2015 as improving economic data pushed global interest rates higher, particularly in the U.S. and Europe. However, real estate stocks rebounded over the last two months of the reporting period as decelerating growth in China and other emerging economies put downward pressure on interest rates.

From a regional perspective, property stocks in Europe fared the best. Although European economic growth was modest during the period, the European Central Bank’s quantitative easing measures aided capital market liquidity on the Continent. U.S. real estate stocks also held up well, benefiting from a rally late in the reporting period. Property stocks in Asia and emerging markets declined as these countries were affected to a greater degree by the economic slowdown in China.

It’s also worth noting that a stronger U.S. dollar reduced non-U.S. property stock returns for U.S. investors. The dollar appreciated against most major foreign currencies during the reporting period.

Stock Selection in the U.K. and U.S. Added Value

Stock selection in the U.K. and U.S. contributed the most to the fund’s outperformance of its benchmark for the reporting period. In the U.K., one of the top contributors was The UNITE Group, which owns and operates student housing units. Rising rents led to strong valuation growth for the company, and it derived substantial value from its property development pipeline. The portfolio also benefited from its holdings of companies with exposure to the office market in the West End of London as robust demand for office space outpaced new supply in the area. The leading contributors in the portfolio included Derwent London and Great Portland Estates.

Among the portfolio’s U.S. holdings, self-storage companies were the best contributors. The leading contributor was Extra Space Storage, which reported strong earnings and acquired a large private storage operator that should be accretive to earnings going forward. Another meaningful contributor was The Blackstone Group, an asset manager with a sizable real estate presence, including private equity and real estate opportunity funds. The company monetized gains in its real estate holdings, providing a boost to the stock. We eliminated both stocks from the portfolio late in the reporting period after their strong performance.

Daiwa House, a Japanese property developer, was one of the top contributors among the portfolio’s holdings in Asia. Along with apartment buildings and other commercial properties, Daiwa House develops logistics facilities, and the stock benefited from a trend toward upgrading logistics facilities in Japan.

* All fund returns referenced in this commentary are for Investor Class shares. Performance for other share

classes will vary due to differences in fee structure; when Investor Class performance exceeds that of the

fund’s benchmark, other share classes may not. See page 3 for returns for all share classes.

5

Asia Detracted

The fund’s holdings of property stocks in Asia detracted from performance compared with the benchmark during the reporting period. CapitaLand, a property developer based in Singapore, was one of the most significant detractors. Approximately 45% of the company’s properties are in China, and investor concerns surrounding the Chinese economy weighed on the stock.

Among North American property stocks, noteworthy detractors included Canadian office landlord Allied Properties and U.S. time-share vacation property operator Marriott Vacations Worldwide. Allied reported poor results with unexpected vacancies and weaker operating metrics, while Marriott Vacations failed to meet earnings expectations amid a slowdown in leisure travel. We eliminated Marriott Vacations from the portfolio but retained Allied Properties.

Outlook

We remain constructive on the 12-month outlook for global property stocks. Commercial property market fundamentals remain robust in most developed countries, interest rates remain low on a global basis, and many real estate stocks trade at discounts to their underlying net asset values. The continued economic stimulus efforts from many of the world’s central banks should also provide a favorable backdrop for the operating performance and asset valuations of real estate companies.

In the U.S., economic growth has remained solid, and the U.S. Federal Reserve is taking a deliberate, patient approach to normalizing interest rates. Within the U.S. property market, we favor residential and self-storage companies. Residential property operators should continue to benefit from an existing trend toward renting over home ownership, particularly within the millennial generation. Fundamentals in the self-storage sector remain strong as demand continues to accelerate and supply holds steady.

The portfolio remains overweight in Europe, particularly in the U.K. and France. Europe is in the early stages of an economic recovery, and the continuation of accommodative policy measures from the European Central Bank should also be a positive factor for property stocks on the Continent.

The Asia/Pacific region represents a significant underweight position within the portfolio. We believe caution is warranted in this region given the marked slowdown in the Chinese economy. The primary exception is Japan, where we are more optimistic about commercial property market fundamentals and positive rental growth, especially in the office sector.

We are also maintaining an underweight position in emerging markets real estate stocks. Many emerging economies are experiencing slowing growth, particularly countries whose economies are reliant on exports to China. Weaker growth is likely to put downward pressure on property market fundamentals in these countries.

Shareholder Fee Example 

Fund shareholders may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and redemption/exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service (12b-1) fees; and other fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in your fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing cost of investing in other mutual funds.

The example is based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from May 1, 2015 to October 31, 2015.

Actual Expenses

The table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses for each class. You may use the information, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. First, identify the share class you own. Then simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

If you hold Investor Class shares of any American Century Investments fund, or Institutional Class shares of the American Century Diversified Bond Fund, in an American Century Investments account (i.e., not a financial intermediary or retirement plan account), American Century Investments may charge you a $12.50 semiannual account maintenance fee if the value of those shares is less than $10,000. We will redeem shares automatically in one of your accounts to pay the $12.50 fee. In determining your total eligible investment amount, we will include your investments in all personal accounts (including American Century Investments Brokerage accounts) registered under your Social Security number. Personal accounts include individual accounts, joint accounts, UGMA/UTMA accounts, personal trusts, Coverdell Education Savings Accounts and IRAs (including traditional, Roth, Rollover, SEP-, SARSEP- and SIMPLE-IRAs), and certain other retirement accounts. If you have only business, business retirement, employer-sponsored or American Century Investments Brokerage accounts, you are currently not subject to this fee. If you are subject to the Account Maintenance Fee, your account value could be reduced by the fee amount.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The table also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual expense ratio of each class of your fund and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the actual return of a fund’s share class. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

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

(1) Expenses are equal to the class's annualized expense ratio listed in the table above, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184, the number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year, divided by 365, to reflect the one-half year period.

(2) Ending account value assumes the return earned after waiver and would have been lower if a portion of the management fee had not been waived.

Notes to Financial Statements

OCTOBER 31, 2015

1. Organization

American Century Capital Portfolios, Inc. (the corporation) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company and is organized as a Maryland corporation. Global Real Estate Fund (the fund) is one fund in a series issued by the corporation. The fund is nondiversified as defined under the 1940 Act. The fund’s investment objective is to seek high total investment return through a combination of capital appreciation and current income.

The fund offers the Investor Class, the Institutional Class, the A Class, the C Class, the R Class and the R6 Class. The A Class may incur an initial sales charge. The A Class and C Class may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge. The share classes differ principally in their respective sales charges and distribution and shareholder servicing expenses and arrangements. The Institutional Class and R6 Class shareholders do not require the same level of shareholder and administrative services from American Century Investment Management, Inc. (ACIM) (the investment advisor) as shareholders of other classes. In addition, financial intermediaries do not receive any service, distribution or administrative fees for the R6 Class. As a result, the Institutional Class and R6 Class are charged lower unified management fees.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the fund in preparation of its financial statements. The fund is an investment company and follows accounting and reporting guidance in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. This may require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Management evaluated the impact of events or transactions occurring through the date the financial statements were issued that would merit recognition or disclosure.

Investment Valuations — The fund determines the fair value of its investments and computes its net asset value per share at the close of regular trading (usually 4 p.m. Eastern time) on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on each day the NYSE is open. The Board of Directors has adopted valuation policies and procedures to guide the investment advisor in the fund’s investment valuation process and to provide methodologies for the oversight of the fund’s pricing function.

Equity securities that are listed or traded on a domestic securities exchange are valued at the last reported sales price or at the official closing price as provided by the exchange. Equity securities traded on foreign securities exchanges are generally valued at the closing price of such securities on the exchange where primarily traded or at the close of the NYSE, if that is earlier. If no last sales price is reported, or if local convention or regulation so provides, the mean of the latest bid and asked prices may be used. Securities traded over-the-counter are valued at the mean of the latest bid and asked prices, the last sales price, or the official closing price. Equity securities initially expressed in local currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the mean of the appropriate currency exchange rate at the close of the NYSE as provided by an independent pricing service.

Open-end management investment companies are valued at the reported net asset value per share. Repurchase agreements are valued at cost, which approximates fair value.

If the fund determines that the market price for an investment is not readily available or the valuation methods mentioned above do not reflect an investment’s fair value, such investment is valued as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors or its delegate, in accordance with policies and procedures adopted by the Board of Directors. In its determination of fair value, the fund may review several factors including, but not limited to, market information regarding the specific investment or comparable investments and correlation with other investment types, futures indices or general market indicators. Circumstances that may cause the fund to use these procedures to value an investment include, but are not limited to: an investment has been declared in default or is distressed; trading in a security has been suspended during the trading day or a security is not actively trading on its principal exchange; prices received from a regular pricing source are deemed unreliable; or there is a foreign market holiday and no trading occurred.

16

The fund monitors for significant events occurring after the close of an investment’s primary exchange but before the fund’s net asset value per share is determined. Significant events may include, but are not limited to: corporate announcements and transactions; governmental action and political unrest that could impact a specific investment or an investment sector; or armed conflicts, natural disasters and similar events that could affect investments in a specific country or region. The fund also monitors for significant fluctuations between domestic and foreign markets, as evidenced by the U.S. market or such other indicators that the Board of Directors, or its delegate, deems appropriate. If significant fluctuations in foreign markets are identified, the fund may apply a model-derived factor to the closing price of equity securities traded on foreign securities exchanges. The factor is based on observable market data as provided by an independent pricing service.

Security Transactions — Security transactions are accounted for as of the trade date. Net realized gains and losses are determined on the identified cost basis, which is also used for federal income tax purposes.

Investment Income — Dividend income less foreign taxes withheld, if any, is recorded as of the ex-dividend date. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or long-term capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. The fund may estimate the components of distributions received that may be considered nontaxable distributions or long-term capital gain distributions for income tax purposes. Interest income less foreign taxes withheld, if any, is recorded on the accrual basis and includes accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums.

Foreign Currency Translations — All assets and liabilities initially expressed in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at prevailing exchange rates at period end. The fund may enter into spot foreign currency exchange contracts to facilitate transactions denominated in a foreign currency. Purchases and sales of investment securities, dividend and interest income, spot foreign currency exchange contracts, and expenses are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. Net realized and unrealized foreign currency exchange gains or losses related to investment securities are a component of net realized gain (loss) on investment transactions and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments, respectively.

Repurchase Agreements — The fund may enter into repurchase agreements with institutions that ACIM has determined are creditworthy pursuant to criteria adopted by the Board of Directors. The fund requires that the collateral, represented by securities, received in a repurchase transaction be transferred to the custodian in a manner sufficient to enable the fund to obtain those securities in the event of a default under the repurchase agreement. ACIM monitors, on a daily basis, the securities transferred to ensure the value, including accrued interest, of the securities under each repurchase agreement is equal to or greater than amounts owed to the fund under each repurchase agreement.

Joint Trading Account — Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the fund, along with certain other funds in the American Century Investments family of funds, may transfer uninvested cash balances into a joint trading account. These balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Agency obligations.

Income Tax Status — It is the fund’s policy to distribute substantially all net investment income and net realized gains to shareholders and to otherwise qualify as a regulated investment company under provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, no provision has been made for income taxes. The fund files U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S. tax returns as applicable. The fund's tax returns are subject to examination by the relevant taxing authority until expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, which is generally three years from the date of filing but can be longer in certain jurisdictions. At this time, management believes there are no uncertain tax positions which, based on their technical merit, would not be sustained upon examination and for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.

Multiple Class — All shares of the fund represent an equal pro rata interest in the net assets of the class to which such shares belong, and have identical voting, dividend, liquidation and other rights and the same terms and conditions, except for class specific expenses and exclusive rights to vote on matters affecting only individual classes. Income, non-class specific expenses, and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses of the fund are allocated to each class of shares based on their relative net assets.

Distributions to Shareholders — Distributions from net investment income and net realized gains, if any, are generally declared and paid annually.

17

Indemnifications — Under the corporation’s organizational documents, its officers and directors are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the fund. In addition, in the normal course of business, the fund enters into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against a fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered by management to be remote.

3. Fees and Transactions with Related Parties

Certain officers and directors of the corporation are also officers and/or directors of American Century Companies, Inc. (ACC). The corporation’s investment advisor, ACIM, the corporation's distributor, American Century Investment Services, Inc. (ACIS), and the corporation’s transfer agent, American Century Services, LLC, are wholly owned, directly or indirectly, by ACC.

Management Fees — The corporation has entered into a management agreement with ACIM, under which ACIM provides the fund with investment advisory and management services in exchange for a single, unified management fee (the fee) per class. The agreement provides that all expenses of managing and operating the fund, except distribution and service fees, brokerage expenses, taxes, interest, fees and expenses of the independent directors (including legal counsel fees), and extraordinary expenses, will be paid by ACIM. The fee is computed and accrued daily based on each class’s daily net assets and paid monthly in arrears. The annual management fee is 1.20% for the Investor Class, A Class, C Class and R Class, 1.00% for the Institutional Class and 0.85% for the R6 Class. Effective August 1, 2015, the investment advisor voluntarily agreed to waive 0.04% of the fund's management fee. The investment advisor expects this waiver to continue until February 28, 2017 and cannot terminate it prior to such date without the approval of the Board of Directors. The total amount of the waiver for each class for the year ended October 31, 2015 was $7,499, $444, $2,089, $700, $24 and $717 for the Investor Class, Institutional Class, A Class, C Class, R Class and the R6 Class, respectively. The effective annual management fee after waiver for each class for the year ended October 31, 2015 was 1.19% for the Investor Class, A Class, C Class and R Class, 0.99% for the Institutional Class and 0.84% for the R6 Class.

Distribution and Service Fees — The Board of Directors has adopted a separate Master Distribution and Individual Shareholder Services Plan for each of the A Class, C Class and R Class (collectively the plans), pursuant to Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act. The plans provide that the A Class will pay ACIS an annual distribution and service fee of 0.25%. The plans provide that the C Class will pay ACIS an annual distribution and service fee of 1.00%, of which 0.25% is paid for individual shareholder services and 0.75% is paid for distribution services. The plans provide that the R Class will pay ACIS an annual distribution and service fee of 0.50%. The fees are computed and accrued daily based on each class’s daily net assets and paid monthly in arrears. The fees are used to pay financial intermediaries for distribution and individual shareholder services. Fees incurred under the plans during the year ended October 31, 2015 are detailed in the Statement of Operations.

Directors' Fees and Expenses — The Board of Directors is responsible for overseeing the investment advisor’s management and operations of the fund. The directors receive detailed information about the fund and its investment advisor regularly throughout the year, and meet at least quarterly with management of the investment advisor to review reports about fund operations. The fund’s officers do not receive compensation from the fund.

4. Investment Transactions

Purchases and sales of investment securities, excluding short-term investments, for the year ended October 31, 2015 were $283,817,887 and $268,540,405, respectively.

6. Fair Value Measurements

The fund’s investments valuation process is based on several considerations and may use multiple inputs to determine the fair value of the investments held by the fund. In conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the inputs used to determine a valuation are classified into three broad levels.

• Level 1 valuation inputs consist of unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical investments.

• Level 2 valuation inputs consist of direct or indirect observable market data (including quoted prices for comparable investments, evaluations of subsequent market events, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.). These inputs also consist of quoted prices for identical investments initially expressed in local currencies that are adjusted through translation into U.S. dollars.

• Level 3 valuation inputs consist of unobservable data (including a fund’s own assumptions).

19

The level classification is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair valuation measurement. The valuation inputs are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in these securities or other financial instruments. There were no significant transfers between levels during the period.

The following is a summary of the level classifications as of period end. The Schedule of Investments provides additional information on the fund’s portfolio holdings.

7. Risk Factors

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

There are certain risks involved in investing in foreign securities. These risks include those resulting from future adverse political, social and economic developments, fluctuations in currency exchange rates, the possible imposition of exchange controls, and other foreign laws or restrictions. Investing in emerging markets may accentuate these risks.

The fund’s investment process may result in high portfolio turnover, which could mean high transaction costs, affecting both performance and capital gains tax liabilities to investors.

8. Federal Tax Information

The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended October 31, 2015 and October 31, 2014 were as follows:

	2015		2014
Distributions Paid From
Ordinary income	$	4,057,876	$	3,039,618
Long-term capital gains	$	579,728	$	293,723

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.

The reclassifications, which are primarily due to gains on investments in passive foreign investment companies, were made to undistributed net investment income $1,552,865 and accumulated net realized loss $(1,552,865).

20

As of October 31, 2015, the federal tax cost of investments and the components of distributable earnings on a tax-basis were as follows:

Federal tax cost of investments	$	107,956,382
Gross tax appreciation of investments	$	6,253,668
Gross tax depreciation of investments	(1,002,141		)
Net tax appreciation (depreciation) of investments	5,251,527
Net tax appreciation (depreciation) on translation of assets and liabilities in foreign currencies	(3,580		)
Net tax appreciation (depreciation)	$	5,247,947
Undistributed ordinary income	$	2,644,841
Accumulated short-term capital losses	$	(2,270,477	)

The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales.

Accumulated capital losses represent net capital loss carryovers that may be used to offset future realized capital gains for federal income tax purposes. The capital loss carryovers may be carried forward for an unlimited period. Future capital loss carryover utilization in any given year may be subject to Internal Revenue Code limitations.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of American Century Capital Portfolios, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of Global Real Estate Fund (the “Fund”), one of the funds constituting American Century Capital Portfolios, Inc., as of October 31, 2015, and the related statement 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 periods presented. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2015, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when 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 Global Real Estate Fund of American Century Capital Portfolios, Inc. as of October 31, 2015, 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 periods presented, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Management

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 board has adopted a mandatory retirement age for directors who are not “interested persons,” as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act (independent directors). Independent directors shall retire by December 31 of the year in which they reach their 75^th birthday.

Mr. Thomas 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 or the advisor). Mr. Fink is treated as an “interested person” because of his recent employment with ACC and American Century Services, LLC (ACS). The other directors (more than three-fourths of the total number) are independent. They are not employees, directors or officers of, and have no financial interest in, ACC or any of its wholly owned, direct or indirect, subsidiaries, including ACIM, American Century Investment Services, Inc. (ACIS) and ACS, and they do not have any other affiliations, positions or relationships that would cause them to be considered “interested persons” under the Investment Company Act. 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 table presents additional information about the directors. The mailing address for each director is 4500 Main Street, Kansas City, Missouri 64111.

Approval of Management Agreement

At a meeting held on June 30, 2015, the Fund’s Board of Directors unanimously approved the renewal of the management agreement pursuant to which American Century Investment Management, Inc. (the “Advisor”) acts as the investment advisor for the Fund. Under Section 15(c) of the Investment Company Act, contracts for investment advisory services are required to be reviewed, evaluated, and approved by a majority of a fund’s directors (the “Directors”), including a majority of the independent Directors, each year.

Prior to its consideration of the renewal of the management agreement, the Directors requested and reviewed extensive data and information compiled by the Advisor and certain independent providers of evaluation data concerning the Fund and the services provided to the Fund by the Advisor. This review was in addition to the oversight and evaluation undertaken by the Board and its committees on a continuous basis and the information received was supplemental to the extensive information that the Board and its committees receive and consider throughout the year.

In connection with its consideration of the renewal of the management agreement, the Board’s review and evaluation of the services provided by the Advisor included, but was not limited to, the following:

• the nature, extent, and quality of investment management, shareholder services, and other services provided by the Advisor to the Fund;

• the wide range of other programs and services the Advisor provides to the Fund and its shareholders on a routine and non-routine basis;

• the Fund’s investment performance compared to appropriate benchmarks and/or a peer group of other mutual funds with similar investment objectives and strategies;

• the cost of owning the Fund compared to the cost of owning similar funds;

• the Advisor’s compliance policies, procedures, and regulatory experience;

• financial data showing the cost of services provided to the Fund, the profitability of the Fund to the Advisor, and the overall profitability of the Advisor;

• possible economies of scale associated with the Advisor’s management of the Fund and other accounts under its management;

• data comparing services provided and charges to other investment management clients of the Advisor;

• acquired fund fees and expenses;

• payments to intermediaries by the Fund and the Advisor; and

• any collateral benefits derived by the Advisor from the management of the Fund.

In keeping with their practice, the Directors held two in-person meetings and one telephonic meeting to review and discuss the information provided. The independent Directors also had the benefit of the advice of their independent counsel throughout the process.

Factors Considered

The Directors considered all of the information provided by the Advisor, the independent data providers, and independent counsel, and evaluated such information for the Fund. In connection with their review, the Directors did not identify any single factor as being all-important or controlling, and each Director may have attributed different levels of importance to different factors. In deciding to renew the management agreement, the Board based its decision on a number of factors, including the following:

29

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services - Generally.Under the 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 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 (except the independent Directors’ counsel)

• regulatory and portfolio compliance

• financial reporting

• marketing and distribution (except Rule 12b-1 plans)

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 nature of the investment management services provided to the Fund is quite complex and allows Fund shareholders access to professional money management, instant diversification of their investments within an asset class, the opportunity to easily diversify among asset classes by investing in or exchanging among various American Century Investments funds, and liquidity. In evaluating investment performance, the Board expects the Advisor to manage the Fund in accordance with its investment objectives and approved strategies. Further, the Directors recognize that the Advisor has an obligation to monitor trading activities, and in particular to seek the best execution of fund trades, and to evaluate the use of and payment for research. In providing these services, the Advisor utilizes teams of investment professionals (portfolio managers, analysts, research assistants, and securities traders) 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 the Fund, together with comparative information for appropriate benchmarks and/or peer groups of similarly-managed funds, over different time horizons. The Directors also review detailed performance information during the management agreement approval process. If performance concerns are identified, the Fund receives special reviews until performance improves, during which the Board discusses with the Advisor the reasons for such results (e.g., market conditions, security selection) and any efforts being undertaken to improve performance. The Fund’s performance was above its benchmark for the one- and three-year periods reviewed by the Board. The Board found the investment management services provided by the Advisor to the Fund to be satisfactory and consistent with the management agreement.

Shareholder and Other Services.Under the management agreement, the Advisor provides the Fund with a comprehensive package of transfer agency, shareholder, and other services. The Board, directly and through various committees of the Board, regularly reviews reports and evaluations of such services at its regular meetings. 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. The Board particularly noted the Advisor’s continual efforts to maintain effective business continuity plans and to address cybersecurity threats. Certain aspects of shareholder and transfer agency service level efficiency and the quality of securities trading

30

activities are measured by independent third party providers and are presented in comparison to other fund groups not managed by the Advisor. The Board found the services provided by the Advisor to the Fund under the management agreement to be competitive and of high quality.

Costs of Services and Profitability.The Advisor provides detailed information concerning its cost of providing various services to the Fund, its profitability in managing the Fund (pre- and post-distribution), its overall profitability, and its financial condition. The Directors have reviewed with the Advisor the methodology used to prepare this financial information. This information is considered in evaluating the Advisor’s financial condition, its ability to continue to provide services under the management agreement, and the reasonableness of the current management fee. The Board concluded that the Advisor’s profits were reasonable in light of the services provided to the Fund.

Ethics.The Board generally considers the Advisor’s commitment to providing quality services to shareholders and to conducting its business ethically. They 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 Board concluded that the Advisor is appropriately sharing economies of scale through its competitive fee structure, offering competitive fees from fund inception, and through reinvestment in its business to provide shareholders additional content and services.

Comparison to Other Funds’ Fees.The management agreement provides 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 Directors (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 to 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, all other 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 ratios of its peers.The unified fee charged to shareholders of the Fund was above the median of the total expense ratios of the Fund’s peer expense universe. The Advisor has committed to a reduction of the Fund's annual unified management fee of 0.04% (e.g., the Investor Class unified fee will be reduced from 1.20% to 1.16%) for at least one year, beginning August 1, 2015. The Board concluded that the management fee paid by the Fund to the Advisor under the management agreement is reasonable in light of the services provided to the Fund.

31

Comparison to Fees and Services Provided to Other Clients of the Advisor. The Directors also requested and received information from the Advisor concerning the nature of the services, fees, costs 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.

Payments to Intermediaries.The Directors also requested and received a description of payments made to intermediaries by the Fund and the Advisor. These payments include various payments made by the Fund or the Advisor to different types of intermediaries and recordkeepers for distribution and service activities provided for the Fund. The Board reviewed such information and found the payments to be reasonable in scope and purpose.

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. They 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 additional assets from other clients may offer the Advisor some benefit from increased leverage with service providers and counterparties. Additionally, the Advisor receives proprietary research from broker-dealers that execute fund portfolio transactions, which the Board concluded is likely to benefit other clients of the Advisor as well as 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 that appropriate allocation methodologies had been employed to assign resources and the cost of those resources to these other clients and, where expressly provided, these other client assets may be included with the assets of the Fund to determine breakpoints in the management fee schedule.

Existing Relationship.The Board also considered whether there was any reason for not continuing the existing arrangement with the Advisor. In this regard, the Board was mindful of the potential disruptions of the Fund’s operations and various risks, uncertainties, and other effects that could occur as a result of a decision not to continue such relationship. In particular, the Board recognized that most shareholders 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.

Conclusion of the Directors. As a result of this process, the Board, including all of the independent Directors, taking into account all of the factors discussed above and the information provided by the Advisor and others in connection with its review and throughout the year, determined that the management fee is fair and reasonable in light of the services provided and that the investment management agreement between the Fund and the Advisor should be renewed.

Portfolio Commentary

Portfolio Managers: Steven Brown and Steven Rodriguez

Performance Summary

NT Global Real Estate returned -4.20%* for the period from March 19, 2015, to October 31, 2015. By comparison, the FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Global Index (the fund’s benchmark) returned -3.04%, while the MSCI All Country World Index (a broad global stock market measure) returned -2.33%.

Global Real Estate Market Overview

Global real estate stocks declined for the reporting period and underperformed the broad global equity indices. Property stocks began the period on a downbeat note, declining as improving economic data pushed global interest rates higher, particularly in the U.S. and Europe. Higher interest rates increase borrowing costs for real estate stocks and make their dividend yields less attractive. However, real estate stocks rebounded somewhat over the last two months of the reporting period as decelerating growth in China and other emerging economies put downward pressure on interest rates.

From a regional perspective, property stocks in Europe held up the best. Although European economic growth was modest during the period, the European Central Bank’s quantitative easing measures aided capital market liquidity on the Continent. Property stocks in the U.S., Asia, and emerging markets generally declined during the period. Uncertainty surrounding the timing of a potential short-term interest rate increase from the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) weighed on U.S. real estate stocks, while Asia and emerging markets were affected to a greater degree by the economic slowdown in China.

U.S. Holdings Detracted

The fund’s underperformance of its benchmark for the reporting period was driven primarily by security selection among the fund’s U.S. holdings. Stock selection among lodging companies detracted the most, including Marriott Vacations Worldwide, Pebblebrook Hotel Trust, and Host Hotels & Results. All three stocks declined as a slowdown in leisure travel led to lowered revenue expectations, and we eliminated each of them from the portfolio.

Other noteworthy detractors included Allied Properties, a Canadian office property owner, and CapitaLand, a property developer based in Singapore. Allied reported poor results during the period, with unexpected vacancies and weaker operating metrics. For CapitaLand, approximately 45% of the company’s properties are in China, and investor concerns surrounding the Chinese economy weighed on the stock.

The U.K. and Japan Added Value

Stock selection in the U.K. and Japan contributed positively to performance compared with the benchmark. In the U.K., one of the top contributors was The UNITE Group, which owns and operates student housing units. Rising rents led to strong valuation growth for the company, and it derived substantial value from its property development pipeline. The portfolio also benefited from its holdings of companies with exposure to the office market in the West End of London as robust demand for office space outpaced new supply in the area. The leading contributors in the portfolio included Derwent London and Great Portland Estates.

* All fund returns referenced in this commentary are for Institutional Class shares. Total returns for periods less than one year are not annualized. Performance for other share classes will vary due to differences in fee structure; when Institutional Class performance exceeds that of the fund’s benchmark, other share classes may not. See page 2 for returns for all share classes.

Daiwa House, a Japanese property developer, was one of the top contributors among the portfolio’s Japanese holdings. Along with apartment buildings and other commercial properties, Daiwa House develops logistics facilities, and the stock benefited from a trend toward upgrading logistics facilities in Japan.

Among the portfolio’s U.S. holdings, the leading contributor was self-storage company Extra Space Storage. The company reported strong earnings and acquired a large private storage operator that should be accretive to earnings going forward. Another meaningful contributor was The Blackstone Group, an asset manager with a sizable real estate presence, including private equity and real estate opportunity funds. The company monetized gains in its real estate holdings, providing a boost to the stock. We eliminated both stocks from the portfolio late in the reporting period after their strong performance.

Outlook

We remain constructive on the 12-month outlook for global property stocks. Commercial property market fundamentals remain robust in most developed countries, interest rates remain low on a global basis, and many real estate stocks trade at discounts to their underlying net asset values. The continued economic stimulus efforts from many of the world’s central banks should also provide a favorable backdrop for the operating performance and asset valuations of real estate companies.

In the U.S., economic growth has remained solid, and the Fed is taking a deliberate, patient approach to normalizing interest rates. Within the U.S. property market, we favor residential and self-storage companies. Residential property operators should continue to benefit from an existing trend toward renting over home ownership, particularly within the millennial generation. Fundamentals in the self-storage sector remain strong as demand continues to accelerate and supply holds steady.

The portfolio remains overweight in Europe, particularly in the U.K. and France. Europe is in the early stages of an economic recovery, and the continuation of accommodative policy measures from the European Central Bank should also be a positive factor for property stocks on the Continent.

The Asia/Pacific region represents a significant underweight position within the portfolio. We believe caution is warranted in this region given the marked slowdown in the Chinese economy. The primary exception is Japan, where we are more optimistic about commercial property market fundamentals and positive rental growth, especially in the office sector.

We are also maintaining an underweight position in emerging markets real estate stocks. Many emerging economies are experiencing slowing growth, particularly countries whose economies are reliant on exports to China. Weaker growth is likely to put downward pressure on property market fundamentals in these countries.

Shareholder Fee Example 

Fund shareholders may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and redemption/exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service (12b-1) fees; and other fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in your fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing cost of investing in other mutual funds.

The example is based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from May 1, 2015 to October 31, 2015.

Actual Expenses

The table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses for each class. You may use the information, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. First, identify the share class you own. Then simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The table also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual expense ratio of each class of your fund and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the actual return of a fund’s share class. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

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

R6 Class (before waiver)	$1,000	$1,020.92	$4.33	0.85%

(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 184, the number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year, divided by 365, to reflect the one-half year period.

(2) Ending account value assumes the return earned after waiver and would have been lower if a portion of the management fee had not been waived.

Notes to Financial Statements

OCTOBER 31, 2015

1. Organization

American Century Capital Portfolios, Inc. (the corporation) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company and is organized as a Maryland corporation. NT Global Real Estate Fund (the fund) is one fund in a series issued by the corporation. The fund is nondiversified as defined under the 1940 Act. The fund’s investment objective is to seek high total investment return through a combination of capital appreciation and current income. The fund is not permitted to invest in securities issued by companies assigned the Global Industry Classification Standard for the tobacco industry.

The fund offers the Investor Class, the Institutional Class and the R6 Class, which have different fees and expenses. The difference in the fee structures between the classes is the result of their separate arrangements for shareholder and distribution services. It is not the result of any difference in advisory or custodial fees or other expenses related to the management of the fund’s assets, which do not vary by class. The fund’s shares are available for purchase exclusively by certain American Century Investments funds of funds and the fund’s arrangements for shareholder and distribution services take into account the varying levels of services required by shareholders of different classes of the funds of funds. The Institutional Class and R6 Class shareholders do not require the same level of shareholder and administrative services from American Century Investment Management, Inc. (ACIM) (the investment advisor) as shareholders of the Investor Class. In addition, financial intermediaries do not receive any service, distribution or administrative fees for the R6 Class. As a result, the Institutional Class and R6 Class are charged lower unified management fees. All classes of the fund commenced sale on March 19, 2015, the fund’s inception date.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the fund in preparation of its financial statements. The fund is an investment company and follows accounting and reporting guidance in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. This may require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Management evaluated the impact of events or transactions occurring through the date the financial statements were issued that would merit recognition or disclosure.

Investment Valuations — The fund determines the fair value of its investments and computes its net asset value per share at the close of regular trading (usually 4 p.m. Eastern time) on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on each day the NYSE is open. The Board of Directors has adopted valuation policies and procedures to guide the investment advisor in the fund’s investment valuation process and to provide methodologies for the oversight of the fund’s pricing function.

Equity securities that are listed or traded on a domestic securities exchange are valued at the last reported sales price or at the official closing price as provided by the exchange. Equity securities traded on foreign securities exchanges are generally valued at the closing price of such securities on the exchange where primarily traded or at the close of the NYSE, if that is earlier. If no last sales price is reported, or if local convention or regulation so provides, the mean of the latest bid and asked prices may be used. Securities traded over-the-counter are valued at the mean of the latest bid and asked prices, the last sales price, or the official closing price. Equity securities initially expressed in local currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the mean of the appropriate currency exchange rate at the close of the NYSE as provided by an independent pricing service.

Open-end management investment companies are valued at the reported net asset value per share. Repurchase agreements are valued at cost, which approximates fair value.

If the fund determines that the market price for an investment is not readily available or the valuation methods mentioned above do not reflect an investment’s fair value, such investment is valued as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors or its delegate, in accordance with policies and procedures adopted by the Board of Directors. In its determination of fair value, the fund may review several factors including, but not limited to, market information regarding the specific investment or comparable investments and correlation with other investment types, futures indices or general market indicators. Circumstances that may cause the

14

fund to use these procedures to value an investment include, but are not limited to: an investment has been declared in default or is distressed; trading in a security has been suspended during the trading day or a security is not actively trading on its principal exchange; prices received from a regular pricing source are deemed unreliable; or there is a foreign market holiday and no trading occurred.

The fund monitors for significant events occurring after the close of an investment’s primary exchange but before the fund’s net asset value per share is determined. Significant events may include, but are not limited to: corporate announcements and transactions; governmental action and political unrest that could impact a specific investment or an investment sector; or armed conflicts, natural disasters and similar events that could affect investments in a specific country or region. The fund also monitors for significant fluctuations between domestic and foreign markets, as evidenced by the U.S. market or such other indicators that the Board of Directors, or its delegate, deems appropriate. If significant fluctuations in foreign markets are identified, the fund may apply a model-derived factor to the closing price of equity securities traded on foreign securities exchanges. The factor is based on observable market data as provided by an independent pricing service.

Security Transactions — Security transactions are accounted for as of the trade date. Net realized gains and losses are determined on the identified cost basis, which is also used for federal income tax purposes.

Investment Income — Dividend income less foreign taxes withheld, if any, is recorded as of the ex-dividend date. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or long-term capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. The fund may estimate the components of distributions received that may be considered nontaxable distributions or long-term capital gain distributions for income tax purposes. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis and includes accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums.

Foreign Currency Translations — All assets and liabilities initially expressed in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at prevailing exchange rates at period end. The fund may enter into spot foreign currency exchange contracts to facilitate transactions denominated in a foreign currency. Purchases and sales of investment securities, dividend and interest income, spot foreign currency exchange contracts, and expenses are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. Net realized and unrealized foreign currency exchange gains or losses related to investment securities are a component of net realized gain (loss) on investment transactions and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments, respectively.

Repurchase Agreements — The fund may enter into repurchase agreements with institutions that ACIM has determined are creditworthy pursuant to criteria adopted by the Board of Directors. The fund requires that the collateral, represented by securities, received in a repurchase transaction be transferred to the custodian in a manner sufficient to enable the fund to obtain those securities in the event of a default under the repurchase agreement. ACIM monitors, on a daily basis, the securities transferred to ensure the value, including accrued interest, of the securities under each repurchase agreement is equal to or greater than amounts owed to the fund under each repurchase agreement.

Joint Trading Account — Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the fund, along with certain other funds in the American Century Investments family of funds, may transfer uninvested cash balances into a joint trading account. These balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Agency obligations.

Income Tax Status — It is the fund’s policy to distribute substantially all net investment income and net realized gains to shareholders and to otherwise qualify as a regulated investment company under provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, no provision has been made for income taxes. The fund files U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S. tax returns as applicable. The fund's tax returns are subject to examination by the relevant taxing authority until expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, which is generally three years from the date of filing but can be longer in certain jurisdictions. At this time, management believes there are no uncertain tax positions which, based on their technical merit, would not be sustained upon examination and for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.

Multiple Class — All shares of the fund represent an equal pro rata interest in the net assets of the class to which such shares belong, and have identical voting, dividend, liquidation and other rights and the same terms and conditions, except for class specific expenses and exclusive rights to vote on matters affecting only individual classes. Income, non-class specific expenses, and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses of the fund are allocated to each class of shares based on their relative net assets.

15

Distributions to Shareholders — Distributions from net investment income and net realized gains, if any, are generally declared and paid annually.

Indemnifications — Under the corporation’s organizational documents, its officers and directors are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the fund. In addition, in the normal course of business, the fund enters into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against a fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered by management to be remote.

3. Fees and Transactions with Related Parties

Certain officers and directors of the corporation are also officers and/or directors of American Century Companies, Inc. (ACC). The corporation’s investment advisor, ACIM, the corporation's distributor, American Century Investment Services, Inc., and the corporation’s transfer agent, American Century Services, LLC, are wholly owned, directly or indirectly, by ACC. Various funds issued by American Century Asset Allocation Portfolios, Inc. own, in aggregate, 100% of the shares of the fund. Related parties do not invest in the fund for the purpose of exercising management or control.

Management Fees — The corporation has entered into a management agreement with ACIM, under which ACIM provides the fund with investment advisory and management services in exchange for a single, unified management fee (the fee) per class. The agreement provides that all expenses of managing and operating the fund, except distribution and service fees, brokerage expenses, taxes, interest, fees and expenses of the independent directors (including legal counsel fees), and extraordinary expenses, will be paid by ACIM. The fee is computed and accrued daily based on each class’s daily net assets and paid monthly in arrears. The annual management fee is 1.20% for the Investor Class, 1.00% for the Institutional Class and 0.85% for the R6 Class. Effective August 1, 2015, the investment advisor voluntarily agreed to waive 0.04% of the fund's management fee. The investment advisor expects this waiver to continue until February 28, 2017 and cannot terminate it prior to such date without the approval of the Board of Directors. The total amount of the waiver for each class for the period March 19, 2015 (fund inception) through October 31, 2015 was $9,059, $23,807 and $1,307 for the Investor Class, Institutional Class and R6 Class, respectively. The effective annual management fee after waiver for each class for the period March 19, 2015 (fund inception) through October 31, 2015 was 1.19% for the Investor Class, 0.99% for the Institutional Class and 0.84% for the R6 Class.

Directors' Fees and Expenses — The Board of Directors is responsible for overseeing the investment advisor’s management and operations of the fund. The directors receive detailed information about the fund and its investment advisor regularly throughout the year, and meet at least quarterly with management of the investment advisor to review reports about fund operations. The fund’s officers do not receive compensation from the fund.

4. Investment Transactions

Purchases and sales of investment securities, excluding short-term investments, for the period March 19, 2015 (fund inception) through October 31, 2015 were $865,289,170 and $504,092,784, respectively.

5. Capital Share Transactions

Transactions in shares of the fund were as follows:

(1) March 19, 2015 (fund inception) through October 31, 2015.

6. Fair Value Measurements

The fund’s investments valuation process is based on several considerations and may use multiple inputs to determine the fair value of the investments held by the fund. In conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the inputs used to determine a valuation are classified into three broad levels.

• Level 1 valuation inputs consist of unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical investments.

• Level 2 valuation inputs consist of direct or indirect observable market data (including quoted prices for comparable investments, evaluations of subsequent market events, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.). These inputs also consist of quoted prices for identical investments initially expressed in local currencies that are adjusted through translation into U.S. dollars.

• Level 3 valuation inputs consist of unobservable data (including a fund’s own assumptions).

The level classification is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair valuation measurement. The valuation inputs are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in these securities or other financial instruments. There were no significant transfers between levels during the period.

The following is a summary of the level classifications as of period end. The Schedule of Investments provides additional information on the fund’s portfolio holdings.

7. Risk Factors

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

There are certain risks involved in investing in foreign securities. These risks include those resulting from future adverse political, social and economic developments, fluctuations in currency exchange rates, the possible imposition of exchange controls, and other foreign laws or restrictions. Investing in emerging markets may accentuate these risks.

The fund’s investment process may result in high portfolio turnover, which could mean high transaction costs, affecting both performance and capital gains tax liabilities to investors.

8. Federal Tax Information

On December 15, 2015, the fund declared and paid the following per-share distributions from net investment income to shareholders of record on December 14, 2015:

Investor Class	Institutional Class	R6 Class
$0.2210	$0.2354	$0.2463

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. There were no distributions paid by the fund during the period March 19, 2015 (fund inception) through October 31, 2015.

As of October 31, 2015, the federal tax cost of investments and the components of distributable earnings on a tax-basis were as follows:

Federal tax cost of investments	$	344,992,563
Gross tax appreciation of investments	$	8,248,086
Gross tax depreciation of investments	(7,228,165		)
Net tax appreciation (depreciation) of investments	1,019,921
Net tax appreciation (depreciation) on translation of assets and liabilities in foreign currencies	(10,347		)
Net tax appreciation (depreciation)	$	1,009,574
Undistributed ordinary income	$	7,381,382
Accumulated short-term capital losses	$	(22,764,806	)

The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales.

Accumulated capital losses represent net capital loss carryovers that may be used to offset future realized capital gains for federal income tax purposes. The capital loss carryovers may be carried forward for an unlimited period. Future capital loss carryover utilization in any given year may be subject to Internal Revenue Code limitations.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of American Century Capital Portfolios, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of NT Global Real Estate Fund (the "Fund"), one of the funds constituting American Century Capital Portfolios, Inc., as of October 31, 2015, and the related statements of operations, changes in net assets, and the financial highlights for the period from March 19, 2015 (commencement date) through October 31, 2015. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2015, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audit provides 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 NT Global Real Estate Fund of American Century Capital Portfolios, Inc. as of October 31, 2015, and the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets, and the financial highlights for the period from March 19, 2015 (commencement date) through October 31, 2015, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Management

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 board has adopted a mandatory retirement age for directors who are not “interested persons,” as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act (independent directors). Independent directors shall retire by December 31 of the year in which they reach their 75^th birthday.

Mr. Thomas 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 or the advisor). Mr. Fink is treated as an “interested person” because of his recent employment with ACC and American Century Services, LLC (ACS). The other directors (more than three-fourths of the total number) are independent.

Additional Information

Retirement Account Information

As required by law, distributions you receive from certain IRAs are subject to federal income tax withholding, unless you elect not to have withholding apply. Tax will be withheld on the total amount withdrawn even though you may be receiving amounts that are not subject to withholding, such as nondeductible contributions. In such case, excess amounts of withholding could occur. You may adjust your withholding election so that a greater or lesser amount will be withheld.

If you don’t want us to withhold on this amount, you must notify us to not withhold the federal income tax. You may notify us in writing or in certain situations by telephone or through other electronic means. For systematic withdrawals, your withholding election will remain in effect until revoked or changed by filing a new election. You have the right to revoke your election at any time.

Remember, even if you elect not to have income tax withheld, you are liable for paying income tax on the taxable portion of your withdrawal. If you elect not to have income tax withheld or you don’t have enough income tax withheld, you may be responsible for payment of estimated tax. You may incur penalties under the estimated tax rules if your withholding and estimated tax payments are not sufficient. You can reduce or defer the income tax on a distribution by directly or indirectly rolling such distribution over to another IRA or eligible plan. You should consult your tax advisor for additional information.

State tax will be withheld if, at the time of your distribution, your address is within one of the mandatory withholding states and you have federal income tax withheld (or as otherwise required by state law). State taxes will be withheld from your distribution in accordance with the respective state rules.

Distributions you receive from 403(b), 457 and qualified plans are subject to special tax and withholding rules. Your plan administrator or plan sponsor is required to provide you with a special tax notice explaining those rules at the time you request a distribution. If applicable, federal and/or state taxes may be withheld from your distribution amount.

Divergence in Economic Growth and Monetary Policies, Combined With China Turmoil, Triggered Market Volatility

Divergence between the U.S. and the rest of the world—along with China’s struggles, plunging commodity prices, capital market volatility, and risk-off trading—emerged as key themes during the reporting period. Global divergence described not only the relatively stronger economic growth enjoyed by the U.S. compared with most of the world, but also the related contrast between the U.S. Federal Reserve’s (the Fed’s) unwinding of monetary stimulus versus the continuation and expansion of stimulus by other major central banks. Central bank moves—including the Fed’s delayed normalization of its extremely low interest rate positioning—helped trigger large market swings.

In October 2014, the Fed ended its latest massive bond-buying program (quantitative easing, QE), leading to expectations that interest rates would rise. But while QE was halted in the U.S., other major central banks were starting or increasing QE as their economies faltered. This divergence helped fuel increased demand for the U.S. dollar and U.S. dollar-denominated assets, and put downward pressure on commodity prices, most notably crude oil, down over 40% for the reporting period. Low inflation also prevailed after oil prices plunged amid a supply glut and muted demand for commodities in general. In this environment, the U.S. dollar, U.S. growth stocks, and longer-maturity U.S. Treasuries generally benefited from “flight to quality” capital flows, while emerging market and commodity-related investments suffered significant declines.

We expect continued economic and monetary policy divergence between the U.S. and non-U.S. economies in the coming months, accompanied by further market volatility. This could present both challenges and opportunities for active investment managers. In this environment, we continue to believe in a disciplined, diversified, long-term investment approach, using professionally managed stock and bond portfolios to meet financial goals. We appreciate your continued trust in us.

Sincerely,

Jonathan Thomas

President and Chief Executive Officer

American Century Investments

Portfolio Commentary

Portfolio Managers: Steven Brown and Steven Rodriguez

Performance Summary

Real Estate returned 5.51%* for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2015. By comparison, the MSCI U.S. REIT Index (the fund’s benchmark) returned 5.32%, while the S&P 500 Index (a broad stock market measure) returned 5.20%.

REIT Market Overview

Real estate investment trusts (REITs) advanced for the 12-month period and performed in line with the broad U.S. equity indices. REITs began the period on a positive note, rallying in late 2014 and early 2015 as fundamentals in the commercial real estate market remained favorable—demand outstripped supply, creating a pricing advantage for landlords and property owners. In addition, interest rates declined, which lowered funding costs for REITs and helped make their dividend yields more attractive.

REITs reversed course in mid-2015 as stronger economic data and expectations of a short-term interest rate increase by the U.S. Federal Reserve (the Fed) pushed interest rates higher. However, REITs rebounded over the last two months of the reporting period as decelerating growth in China and other emerging economies put downward pressure on interest rates. Furthermore, many REITs traded at discounts to their underlying net asset values, which also provided a favorable backdrop for REIT performance.

From a sector perspective, self-storage REITs were the best-performing sector. The self-storage sector benefited from accelerating demand and limited new supply. Residential and retail REITs also posted double-digit gains for the reporting period. Residential REITs benefited from continued improvement in the labor market, especially within the millennial demographic (ages 22-35), which led to an uptick in household formations and boosted demand for rental units. Retail REITs advanced amid positive consumer spending trends.

At the opposite end of the spectrum, lodging and health care REITs declined for the reporting period. Lodging REITs fell as softer demand in major U.S. coastal markets led to lowered revenue projections for the sector, while health care REITs were adversely affected by heavy transaction activity and weaker fundamentals in the senior housing segment.

Self-Storage and Health Care Added Value

The portfolio slightly outperformed its benchmark for the 12-month period. One contributing factor to this outperformance was an overweight position and strong stock selection among self-storage REITs. Leading contributors included Extra Space Storage and CubeSmart. Extra Space reported strong earnings and acquired a large private storage operator that should be accretive to earnings going forward, while CubeSmart benefited from favorable supply-and-demand dynamics in the sector.

An underweight position in the health care sector also contributed positively to relative results. Stock selection was also favorable, primarily by avoiding many of the weaker performers in the sector.

* All fund returns referenced in this commentary are for Investor Class shares. Performance for other share classes will vary due to differences in fee structure; when Investor Class performance exceeds that of the fund’s benchmark, other share classes may not. See page 3 for returns for all share classes.

5

Other notable individual contributors included AvalonBay Communities and The Blackstone Group. AvalonBay, a nationwide residential REIT, rallied thanks to accelerating rental growth in its core property markets. Blackstone is an asset manager with a sizable real estate presence, including private equity and real estate opportunity funds. The company monetized gains in its real estate holdings, providing a boost to the stock. We eliminated Blackstone from the portfolio late in the reporting period after its strong performance.

Lodging REITs Detracted

Stock selection among lodging REITs detracted the most from relative results during the reporting period. Hilton Worldwide Holdings, Pebblebrook Hotel Trust, and Marriott Vacations Worldwide (a new holding during the period) were the most noteworthy detractors in this sector. All three stocks declined as a slowdown in leisure travel led to lowered revenue expectations, but they remain overweight positions in the portfolio because we believe that the slowdown in the lodging sector is already priced into the stocks.

Other meaningful detractors in the portfolio included homebuilder Lennar and office REIT Kilroy Realty. Lennar declined as a result of disappointing new home sales, which led us to eliminate the stock from the portfolio, while Kilroy gave back some gains after a strong 2014.

Outlook

We remain constructive on the 12-month outlook for REITs. Fundamentals in the REIT market remain strong as demand is exceeding supply in many sectors of the commercial property market. Furthermore, many REITs are trading at significant discounts to their underlying net asset values, creating a compelling valuation opportunity. A moderate level of economic growth going forward should also provide a favorable backdrop for REIT operating performance. Although the timing of a possible Fed interest rate hike remains uncertain, we believe that higher rates are already reflected in current REIT valuations.

Within the portfolio, we are maintaining overweight positions in residential and self-storage REITs. Residential REITs should continue to benefit from an existing trend toward renting over home ownership, particularly within the millennial generation. Fundamentals in the self-storage sector remain strong as demand continues to accelerate and supply holds steady. We also remain positive on the outlook for the retail sector, where strengthening employment growth and falling energy prices should lead to improving consumer spending levels. In the office sector, we continue to favor companies with exposure to central business districts, where fundamentals have been especially robust. REITs that lease space to technology and life sciences companies are well positioned to benefit from increased capital investment in those industries.

In contrast, the portfolio holds underweight positions in yield-oriented sectors such as triple-net-lease and health care REITs. (In a triple-net lease agreement, the tenant is responsible for taxes, insurance, and maintenance on the property.) We expect these sectors to continue experiencing headwinds resulting from below-average growth expectations.

Shareholder Fee Example 

Fund shareholders may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and redemption/exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service (12b-1) fees; and other fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in your fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing cost of investing in other mutual funds.

The example is based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from May 1, 2015 to October 31, 2015.

Actual Expenses

The table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses for each class. You may use the information, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. First, identify the share class you own. Then simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

If you hold Investor Class shares of any American Century Investments fund, or Institutional Class shares of the American Century Diversified Bond Fund, in an American Century Investments account (i.e., not a financial intermediary or retirement plan account), American Century Investments may charge you a $12.50 semiannual account maintenance fee if the value of those shares is less than $10,000. We will redeem shares automatically in one of your accounts to pay the $12.50 fee. In determining your total eligible investment amount, we will include your investments in all personal accounts (including American Century Investments Brokerage accounts) registered under your Social Security number. Personal accounts include individual accounts, joint accounts, UGMA/UTMA accounts, personal trusts, Coverdell Education Savings Accounts and IRAs (including traditional, Roth, Rollover, SEP-, SARSEP- and SIMPLE-IRAs), and certain other retirement accounts. If you have only business, business retirement, employer-sponsored or American Century Investments Brokerage accounts, you are currently not subject to this fee. If you are subject to the Account Maintenance Fee, your account value could be reduced by the fee amount.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The table also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual expense ratio of each class of your fund and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the actual return of a fund’s share class. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

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

R6 Class	$1,000	$1,021.22	$4.02	0.79%

(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 184, the number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year, divided by 365, to reflect the one-half year period.

Notes to Financial Statements

OCTOBER 31, 2015

1. Organization

American Century Capital Portfolios, Inc. (the corporation) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company and is organized as a Maryland corporation. Real Estate Fund (the fund) is one fund in a series issued by the corporation. The fund is nondiversified as defined under the 1940 Act. The fund’s investment objective is to seek high total investment return through a combination of capital appreciation and current income.

The fund offers the Investor Class, the Institutional Class, the A Class, the C Class, the R Class and the R6 Class. The A Class may incur an initial sales charge. The A Class and C Class may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge. The share classes differ principally in their respective sales charges and distribution and shareholder servicing expenses and arrangements. The Institutional Class and R6 Class shareholders do not require the same level of shareholder and administrative services from American Century Investment Management, Inc. (ACIM) (the investment advisor) as shareholders of other classes. In addition, financial intermediaries do not receive any service, distribution or administrative fees for the R6 Class. As a result, the Institutional Class and R6 Class are charged lower unified management fees.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the fund in preparation of its financial statements. The fund is an investment company and follows accounting and reporting guidance in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. This may require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Management evaluated the impact of events or transactions occurring through the date the financial statements were issued that would merit recognition or disclosure.

Investment Valuations — The fund determines the fair value of its investments and computes its net asset value per share at the close of regular trading (usually 4 p.m. Eastern time) on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on each day the NYSE is open. The Board of Directors has adopted valuation policies and procedures to guide the investment advisor in the fund’s investment valuation process and to provide methodologies for the oversight of the fund’s pricing function.

Equity securities that are listed or traded on a domestic securities exchange are valued at the last reported sales price or at the official closing price as provided by the exchange. Equity securities traded on foreign securities exchanges are generally valued at the closing price of such securities on the exchange where primarily traded or at the close of the NYSE, if that is earlier. If no last sales price is reported, or if local convention or regulation so provides, the mean of the latest bid and asked prices may be used. Securities traded over-the-counter are valued at the mean of the latest bid and asked prices, the last sales price, or the official closing price.

Open-end management investment companies are valued at the reported net asset value per share. Repurchase agreements are valued at cost, which approximates fair value.

If the fund determines that the market price for an investment is not readily available or the valuation methods mentioned above do not reflect an investment’s fair value, such investment is valued as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors or its delegate, in accordance with policies and procedures adopted by the Board of Directors. In its determination of fair value, the fund may review several factors including, but not limited to, market information regarding the specific investment or comparable investments and correlation with other investment types, futures indices or general market indicators. Circumstances that may cause the fund to use these procedures to value an investment include, but are not limited to: an investment has been declared in default or is distressed; trading in a security has been suspended during the trading day or a security is not actively trading on its principal exchange; prices received from a regular pricing source are deemed unreliable; or there is a foreign market holiday and no trading occurred.

The fund monitors for significant events occurring after the close of an investment’s primary exchange but before the fund’s net asset value per share is determined. Significant events may include, but are not limited to: corporate announcements and transactions; governmental action and political unrest that could impact a

15

specific investment or an investment sector; or armed conflicts, natural disasters and similar events that could affect investments in a specific country or region. The fund also monitors for significant fluctuations between domestic and foreign markets, as evidenced by the U.S. market or such other indicators that the Board of Directors, or its delegate, deems appropriate. If significant fluctuations in foreign markets are identified, the fund may apply a model-derived factor to the closing price of equity securities traded on foreign securities exchanges. The factor is based on observable market data as provided by an independent pricing service.

Security Transactions — Security transactions are accounted for as of the trade date. Net realized gains and losses are determined on the identified cost basis, which is also used for federal income tax purposes.

Investment Income — Dividend income less foreign taxes withheld, if any, is recorded as of the ex-dividend date. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or long-term capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. The fund may estimate the components of distributions received that may be considered nontaxable distributions or long-term capital gain distributions for income tax purposes. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis and includes accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums.

Repurchase Agreements — The fund may enter into repurchase agreements with institutions that ACIM has determined are creditworthy pursuant to criteria adopted by the Board of Directors. The fund requires that the collateral, represented by securities, received in a repurchase transaction be transferred to the custodian in a manner sufficient to enable the fund to obtain those securities in the event of a default under the repurchase agreement. ACIM monitors, on a daily basis, the securities transferred to ensure the value, including accrued interest, of the securities under each repurchase agreement is equal to or greater than amounts owed to the fund under each repurchase agreement.

Joint Trading Account — Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the fund, along with certain other funds in the American Century Investments family of funds, may transfer uninvested cash balances into a joint trading account. These balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Agency obligations.

Income Tax Status — It is the fund’s policy to distribute substantially all net investment income and net realized gains to shareholders and to otherwise qualify as a regulated investment company under provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, no provision has been made for income taxes. The fund files U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S. tax returns as applicable. The fund's tax returns are subject to examination by the relevant taxing authority until expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, which is generally three years from the date of filing but can be longer in certain jurisdictions. At this time, management believes there are no uncertain tax positions which, based on their technical merit, would not be sustained upon examination and for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.

Multiple Class — All shares of the fund represent an equal pro rata interest in the net assets of the class to which such shares belong, and have identical voting, dividend, liquidation and other rights and the same terms and conditions, except for class specific expenses and exclusive rights to vote on matters affecting only individual classes. Income, non-class specific expenses, and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses of the fund are allocated to each class of shares based on their relative net assets.

Distributions to Shareholders — Distributions from net investment income, if any, are generally declared and paid quarterly. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are generally declared and paid annually.

Indemnifications — Under the corporation’s organizational documents, its officers and directors are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the fund. In addition, in the normal course of business, the fund enters into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against a fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered by management to be remote.

3. Fees and Transactions with Related Parties

Certain officers and directors of the corporation are also officers and/or directors of American Century Companies, Inc. (ACC). The corporation’s investment advisor, ACIM, the corporation's distributor, American Century Investment Services, Inc. (ACIS), and the corporation’s transfer agent, American Century Services, LLC, are wholly owned, directly or indirectly, by ACC.

16

Management Fees — The corporation has entered into a management agreement with ACIM, under which ACIM provides the fund with investment advisory and management services in exchange for a single, unified management fee (the fee) per class. The agreement provides that all expenses of managing and operating the fund, except distribution and service fees, brokerage expenses, taxes, interest, fees and expenses of the independent directors (including legal counsel fees), and extraordinary expenses, will be paid by ACIM. The fee is computed and accrued daily based on each class’s daily net assets and paid monthly in arrears. The rate of the fee is determined by applying a fee rate calculation formula. This formula takes into account the fund’s assets as well as certain assets, if any, of other clients of the investment advisor outside the American Century Investments family of funds (such as subadvised funds and separate accounts) that have very similar investment teams and investment strategies (strategy assets). The annual management fee schedule ranges from 1.00% to 1.20% for the Investor Class, A Class, C Class and R Class. The annual management fee schedule ranges from 0.80% to 1.00% for the Institutional Class and 0.65% to 0.85% for the R6 Class. The effective annual management fee for each class for the year ended October 31, 2015 was 1.13% for the Investor Class, A Class, C Class and R Class, 0.93% for the Institutional Class and 0.78% for the R6 Class.

Distribution and Service Fees — The Board of Directors has adopted a separate Master Distribution and Individual Shareholder Services Plan for each of the A Class, C Class and R Class (collectively the plans), pursuant to Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act. The plans provide that the A Class will pay ACIS an annual distribution and service fee of 0.25%. The plans provide that the C Class will pay ACIS an annual distribution and service fee of 1.00%, of which 0.25% is paid for individual shareholder services and 0.75% is paid for distribution services. The plans provide that the R Class will pay ACIS an annual distribution and service fee of 0.50%. The fees are computed and accrued daily based on each class’s daily net assets and paid monthly in arrears. The fees are used to pay financial intermediaries for distribution and individual shareholder services. Fees incurred under the plans during the year ended October 31, 2015 are detailed in the Statement of Operations.

Directors' Fees and Expenses — The Board of Directors is responsible for overseeing the investment advisor’s management and operations of the fund. The directors receive detailed information about the fund and its investment advisor regularly throughout the year, and meet at least quarterly with management of the investment advisor to review reports about fund operations. The fund’s officers do not receive compensation from the fund.

4. Investment Transactions

Purchases and sales of investment securities, excluding short-term investments, for the year ended October 31, 2015 were $2,182,665,502 and $2,422,833,853, respectively.

6. Fair Value Measurements

The fund’s investments valuation process is based on several considerations and may use multiple inputs to determine the fair value of the investments held by the fund. In conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the inputs used to determine a valuation are classified into three broad levels.

• Level 1 valuation inputs consist of unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical investments.

• Level 2 valuation inputs consist of direct or indirect observable market data (including quoted prices for comparable investments, evaluations of subsequent market events, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.). These inputs also consist of quoted prices for identical investments initially expressed in local currencies that are adjusted through translation into U.S. dollars.

• Level 3 valuation inputs consist of unobservable data (including a fund’s own assumptions).

18

The level classification is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair valuation measurement. The valuation inputs are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in these securities or other financial instruments. There were no significant transfers between levels during the period.

The following is a summary of the level classifications as of period end. The Schedule of Investments provides additional information on the fund’s portfolio holdings.

	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
Assets
Investment Securities
Common Stocks	$	1,449,374,504	—		—
Temporary Cash Investments	922		$	17,563,302	—
	$	1,449,375,426	$	17,563,302	—

7. Risk Factors

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

The fund’s investment process may result in high portfolio turnover, which could mean high transaction costs, affecting both performance and capital gains tax liabilities to investors.

8. Federal Tax Information

The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended October 31, 2015 and October 31, 2014 were as follows:

	2015		2014
Distributions Paid From
Ordinary income	$	30,437,761	$	26,517,457
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 October 31, 2015, the federal tax cost of investments and the components of distributable earnings on a tax-basis were as follows:

Federal tax cost of investments	$	1,087,628,607
Gross tax appreciation of investments	$	383,197,322
Gross tax depreciation of investments	(3,887,201		)
Net tax appreciation (depreciation) of investments	379,310,121
Undistributed ordinary income	—
Accumulated short-term capital losses	$	(127,505,007	)

The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales.

Accumulated capital losses represent net capital loss carryovers that may be used to offset future realized capital gains for federal income tax purposes. Future capital loss carryover utilization in any given year may be subject to Internal Revenue Code limitations. Capital loss carryovers expire in 2017.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of American Century Capital Portfolios, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of Real Estate Fund (the "Fund"), one of the funds constituting American Century Capital Portfolios, Inc., as of October 31, 2015, and the related statement 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 periods presented. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2015, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when 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 October 31, 2015, 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 periods presented, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Management

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 board has adopted a mandatory retirement age for directors who are not “interested persons,” as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act (independent directors). Independent directors shall retire by December 31 of the year in which they reach their 75^th birthday.

Mr. Thomas 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 or the advisor). Mr. Fink is treated as an “interested person” because of his recent employment with ACC and American Century Services, LLC (ACS). The other directors (more than three-fourths of the total number) are independent. They are not employees, directors or officers of, and have no financial interest in, ACC or any of its wholly owned, direct or indirect, subsidiaries, including ACIM, American Century Investment Services, Inc. (ACIS) and ACS, and they do not have any other affiliations, positions or relationships that would cause them to be considered “interested persons” under the Investment Company Act. 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 table presents additional information about the directors. The mailing address for each director is 4500 Main Street, Kansas City, Missouri 64111.

Approval of Management Agreement

At a meeting held on June 30, 2015, the Fund’s Board of Directors unanimously approved the renewal of the management agreement pursuant to which American Century Investment Management, Inc. (the “Advisor”) acts as the investment advisor for the Fund. Under Section 15(c) of the Investment Company Act, contracts for investment advisory services are required to be reviewed, evaluated, and approved by a majority of a fund’s directors (the “Directors”), including a majority of the independent Directors, each year.

Prior to its consideration of the renewal of the management agreement, the Directors requested and reviewed extensive data and information compiled by the Advisor and certain independent providers of evaluation data concerning the Fund and the services provided to the Fund by the Advisor. This review was in addition to the oversight and evaluation undertaken by the Board and its committees on a continuous basis and the information received was supplemental to the extensive information that the Board and its committees receive and consider throughout the year.

In connection with its consideration of the renewal of the management agreement, the Board’s review and evaluation of the services provided by the Advisor included, but was not limited to, the following:

• the nature, extent, and quality of investment management, shareholder services, and other services provided by the Advisor to the Fund;

• the wide range of other programs and services the Advisor provides to the Fund and its shareholders on a routine and non-routine basis;

• the Fund’s investment performance compared to appropriate benchmarks and/or a peer group of other mutual funds with similar investment objectives and strategies;

• the cost of owning the Fund compared to the cost of owning similar funds;

• the Advisor’s compliance policies, procedures, and regulatory experience;

• financial data showing the cost of services provided to the Fund, the profitability of the Fund to the Advisor, and the overall profitability of the Advisor;

• possible economies of scale associated with the Advisor’s management of the Fund and other accounts under its management;

• data comparing services provided and charges to other investment management clients of the Advisor;

• acquired fund fees and expenses;

• payments to intermediaries by the Fund and the Advisor; and

• any collateral benefits derived by the Advisor from the management of the Fund.

In keeping with their practice, the Directors held two in-person meetings and one telephonic meeting to review and discuss the information provided. The independent Directors also had the benefit of the advice of their independent counsel throughout the process.

Factors Considered

The Directors considered all of the information provided by the Advisor, the independent data providers, and independent counsel, and evaluated such information for the Fund. In connection with their review, the Directors did not identify any single factor as being all-important or controlling, and each Director may have attributed different levels of importance to different factors. In deciding to renew the management agreement, the Board based its decision on a number of factors, including the following:

28

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services - Generally.Under the 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 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 (except the independent Directors’ counsel)

• regulatory and portfolio compliance

• financial reporting

• marketing and distribution (except Rule 12b-1 plans)

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 nature of the investment management services provided to the Fund is quite complex and allows Fund shareholders access to professional money management, instant diversification of their investments within an asset class, the opportunity to easily diversify among asset classes by investing in or exchanging among various American Century Investments funds, and liquidity. In evaluating investment performance, the Board expects the Advisor to manage the Fund in accordance with its investment objectives and approved strategies. Further, the Directors recognize that the Advisor has an obligation to monitor trading activities, and in particular to seek the best execution of fund trades, and to evaluate the use of and payment for research. In providing these services, the Advisor utilizes teams of investment professionals (portfolio managers, analysts, research assistants, and securities traders) 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 the Fund, together with comparative information for appropriate benchmarks and/or peer groups of similarly-managed funds, over different time horizons. The Directors also review detailed performance information during the management agreement approval process. If performance concerns are identified, the Fund receives special reviews until performance improves, during which the Board discusses with the Advisor the reasons for such results (e.g., market conditions, security selection) and any efforts being undertaken to improve performance. The Fund’s performance was above its benchmark for the one-, three-, five-, and ten-year periods reviewed by the Board. The Board found the investment management services provided by the Advisor to the Fund to be satisfactory and consistent with the management agreement.

Shareholder and Other Services.Under the management agreement, the Advisor provides the Fund with a comprehensive package of transfer agency, shareholder, and other services. The Board, directly and through various committees of the Board, regularly reviews reports and evaluations of such services at its regular meetings. 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. The Board particularly noted the Advisor’s continual efforts to maintain effective business continuity plans and to address cybersecurity threats. Certain aspects of shareholder and transfer agency service level efficiency and the quality of securities trading

29

activities are measured by independent third party providers and are presented in comparison to other fund groups not managed by the Advisor. The Board found the services provided by the Advisor to the Fund under the management agreement to be competitive and of high quality.

Costs of Services and Profitability.The Advisor provides detailed information concerning its cost of providing various services to the Fund, its profitability in managing the Fund (pre- and post-distribution), its overall profitability, and its financial condition. The Directors have reviewed with the Advisor the methodology used to prepare this financial information. This information is considered in evaluating the Advisor’s financial condition, its ability to continue to provide services under the management agreement, and the reasonableness of the current management fee. The Board concluded that the Advisor’s profits were reasonable in light of the services provided to the Fund.

Ethics.The Board generally considers the Advisor’s commitment to providing quality services to shareholders and to conducting its business ethically. They 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 Board concluded that the Advisor is appropriately sharing economies of scale through its competitive fee structure, offering competitive fees from fund inception, and through reinvestment in its business to provide shareholders additional content and services. The Board also noted that economies of scale are shared with the Fund and its shareholders through management fee breakpoints that serve to reduce the effective management fee as the assets of the Fund grow.

Comparison to Other Funds’ Fees.The management agreement provides 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 Directors (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 to 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, all other 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 ratios of its peers. The unified fee charged to shareholders of the Fund was above the median of the total expense ratios of the Fund’s peer expense universe and was within the range of its peer expense group. The Board concluded that the management fee paid by the Fund to the Advisor under the management agreement is reasonable in light of the services provided to the Fund.

30

Comparison to Fees and Services Provided to Other Clients of the Advisor. The Directors also requested and received information from the Advisor concerning the nature of the services, fees, costs 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.

Payments to Intermediaries.The Directors also requested and received a description of payments made to intermediaries by the Fund and the Advisor. These payments include various payments made by the Fund or the Advisor to different types of intermediaries and recordkeepers for distribution and service activities provided for the Fund. The Board reviewed such information and found the payments to be reasonable in scope and purpose.

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. They 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 additional assets from other clients may offer the Advisor some benefit from increased leverage with service providers and counterparties. Additionally, the Advisor receives proprietary research from broker-dealers that execute fund portfolio transactions, which the Board concluded is likely to benefit other clients of the Advisor as well as 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 that appropriate allocation methodologies had been employed to assign resources and the cost of those resources to these other clients and, where expressly provided, these other client assets may be included with the assets of the Fund to determine breakpoints in the management fee schedule.

Existing Relationship.The Board also considered whether there was any reason for not continuing the existing arrangement with the Advisor. In this regard, the Board was mindful of the potential disruptions of the Fund’s operations and various risks, uncertainties, and other effects that could occur as a result of a decision not to continue such relationship. In particular, the Board recognized that most shareholders 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.

Conclusion of the Directors. As a result of this process, the Board, including all of the independent Directors, taking into account all of the factors discussed above and the information provided by the Advisor and others in connection with its review and throughout the year, determined that the management fee is fair and reasonable in light of the services provided and that the investment management agreement between the Fund and the Advisor should be renewed.

Additional Information

Retirement Account Information

As required by law, distributions you receive from certain IRAs are subject to federal income tax withholding, unless you elect not to have withholding apply. Tax will be withheld on the total amount withdrawn even though you may be receiving amounts that are not subject to withholding, such as nondeductible contributions. In such case, excess amounts of withholding could occur. You may adjust your withholding election so that a greater or lesser amount will be withheld.

If you don’t want us to withhold on this amount, you must notify us to not withhold the federal income tax. You may notify us in writing or in certain situations by telephone or through other electronic means. For systematic withdrawals, your withholding election will remain in effect until revoked or changed by filing a new election. You have the right to revoke your election at any time.

Remember, even if you elect not to have income tax withheld, you are liable for paying income tax on the taxable portion of your withdrawal. If you elect not to have income tax withheld or you don’t have enough income tax withheld, you may be responsible for payment of estimated tax. You may incur penalties under the estimated tax rules if your withholding and estimated tax payments are not sufficient. You can reduce or defer the income tax on a distribution by directly or indirectly rolling such distribution over to another IRA or eligible plan. You should consult your tax advisor for additional information.

State tax will be withheld if, at the time of your distribution, your address is within one of the mandatory withholding states and you have federal income tax withheld (or as otherwise required by state law). State taxes will be withheld from your distribution in accordance with the respective state rules.

Distributions you receive from 403(b), 457 and qualified plans are subject to special tax and withholding rules. Your plan administrator or plan sponsor is required to provide you with a special tax notice explaining those rules at the time you request a distribution. If applicable, federal and/or state taxes may be withheld from your distribution amount.
