President’s Letter

Jonathan Thomas

Dear Investor:

Thank you for reviewing this semiannual report for the period ended September 30, 2020. It provides a market overview (below), followed by a schedule of fund investments and other financial information. For additional investment insights, please visit americancentury.com.

Markets Bounced Back from Steep Sell-Off

The reporting period began on the heels of a massive risk asset sell-off triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic and resulting economic shutdowns. U.S. stocks, corporate bonds and other riskier assets plunged, and the resulting flight to quality drove U.S. Treasury yields to record lows. However, thanks to swift and aggressive action from the Federal Reserve (Fed) and the federal government, the financial markets rebounded quickly.

The Fed’s response included slashing interest rates to near 0%, launching quantitative easing and unveiling several lending programs for corporations and municipalities. Congress delivered a

$2 trillion aid package to employees and businesses affected by the shutdowns. These efforts helped stabilize the financial markets and Treasury yields. By the end of April, a turnaround was well underway, and the bullish sentiment generally continued through September. In addition, declining coronavirus infection, hospitalization and death rates, the gradual reopening of state economies, and COVID-19 treatment and vaccine progress also helped fuel the recovery.

U.S. stocks (S&P 500 Index) returned more than 31% for the six-month period. The Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index gained nearly 4%, largely due to a corporate bond rally.

A Slow Return to Normal

The return to pre-pandemic life will take time and patience, but we are confident we will get there. Several drug companies are in final stages of vaccine trials, and medical professionals continue to fine-tune virus treatment protocols. In the meantime, investors likely will face periods of outbreak-related disruptions, economic and political uncertainty, and heightened market volatility. These influences can be unsettling, but they tend to be temporary.

We appreciate your confidence in us during these extraordinary times. Our firm has a long history of helping clients weather unpredictable markets, and we’re confident we will continue to meet today’s challenges.

Sincerely,

Jonathan Thomas

President and Chief Executive Officer

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 April 1, 2020 to September 30, 2020.

Actual Expenses

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

If you hold Investor Class shares of any American Century Investments fund, or I Class shares of the American Century Diversified Bond Fund, in an American Century Investments account (i.e., not through a financial intermediary or employer-sponsored retirement plan account), American Century Investments may charge you a $25.00 annual 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 $25.00 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.


	Beginning Account Value 4/1/20	Ending Account Value 9/30/20	Expenses Paid During Period(1) 4/1/20 - 9/30/20	Annualized Expense Ratio(1)

R Class	$1,000	$1,002.61	$22.49	4.48%

(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 183, the number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year, divided by 365, to reflect the one-half year period. Annualized expense ratio reflects actual expenses, including any applicable fee waivers or expense reimbursements and excluding any acquired fund fees and expenses.

Notes to Financial Statements

SEPTEMBER 30, 2020 (UNAUDITED)

1. Organization

The fund offers the Investor Class, I Class, A Class, C Class and R Class. The A Class may incur an initial sales charge. The A Class and C Class may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge.

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.

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 and convertible bonds 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.

Hybrid 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. Preferred stocks and convertible preferred stocks with perpetual maturities 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.

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. 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.

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. 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, if any, is reflected as interest income. The fund is required to pay any dividends or interest due on securities sold short. Such dividends and interest are recorded as an expense. The fund may pay fees or charges on the assets borrowed for securities sold short. These fees are calculated daily based upon the value of each security sold short and a rate that is dependent on the availability of such security. 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 investment securities and other financial instruments. American Century Investment Management, Inc. (ACIM) (the investment advisor) monitors, on a daily basis, the securities segregated to ensure the fund designates a sufficient amount of liquid assets, marked-to-market daily. The fund may also receive assets or be required to pledge assets at the custodian bank or with a broker for collateral requirements.

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.

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

The annual management fee for each class is as follows:


Investor Class	I Class	A Class	C Class	R Class
1.65%	1.45%	1.65%	1.65%	1.65%

Distribution and Service Fees — The Board of Directors has adopted a separate Master Distribution and Individual Shareholder Services Plan for each of the A Class, C Class and R Class (collectively the plans), pursuant to Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act. The plans provide that the A Class will pay ACIS an annual distribution and service fee of 0.25%. The plans provide that the C Class will pay ACIS an annual distribution and service fee of 1.00%, of which 0.25% is paid for individual shareholder services and 0.75% is paid for distribution services. The plans provide that the R Class will pay ACIS an annual distribution and service fee of 0.50%. The fees are computed and accrued daily based on each class’s daily net assets and paid monthly in arrears. The fees are used to pay financial intermediaries for distribution and individual shareholder services. Fees incurred under the plans during the period ended September 30, 2020 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.

Other Expenses — The fund’s other expenses may include interest charges, clearing exchange fees, proxy solicitation expenses, filing fees for foreign tax reclaims and other miscellaneous expenses. The impact of other expenses to the annualized ratio of operating expenses to average net assets was 0.03% for the period ended September 30, 2020.

Interfund Transactions — The fund may enter into security transactions with other American Century Investments funds and other client accounts of the investment advisor, in accordance with the 1940 Act rules and procedures adopted by the Board of Directors. The rules and procedures require, among other things, that these transactions be effected at the independent current market price of the security. During the period, the interfund purchases and sales were $185,827 and $304,577, respectively. The effect of interfund transactions on the Statement of Operations was $(1,059) in net realized gain (loss) on investment transactions.

4. Investment Transactions

Purchases and sales of investment securities and securities sold short, excluding short-term investments, for the period ended September 30, 2020 were $95,418,120 and $93,368,509, respectively.

5. Capital Share Transactions

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.

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

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. 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 settlement 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 forward foreign currency exchange contract transactions and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on forward foreign currency exchange contracts, respectively. A fund bears the risk of an unfavorable change in the foreign currency exchange rate underlying the forward contract. Additionally, losses, up to the fair value, may arise if the counterparties do not perform under the contract terms. The fund's average U.S. dollar exposure to foreign currency risk derivative instruments held during the period was $6,081,229.

The value of foreign currency risk derivative instruments as of September 30, 2020, is disclosed on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an asset of $3,237 in unrealized appreciation on forward foreign currency exchange contracts and a liability of $4,573 in unrealized depreciation on forward foreign currency exchange contracts. For the six months ended September 30, 2020, the effect of foreign currency risk derivative instruments on the Statement of Operations was $(77,409) in net realized gain (loss) on forward foreign currency exchange contract transactions and $3,998 in change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on forward foreign currency exchange contracts.

8. Risk Factors

The value of the fund’s shares will go up and down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably, based on the performance of the companies whose securities it owns in its long portfolio, or in which the fund has taken a short position as well as other factors generally affecting the securities market. Market risks, including political, regulatory, economic and social developments, can affect the value of the fund’s investments. Natural disasters, public health emergencies, terrorism and other unforeseeable events may lead to increased market volatility and may have adverse long-term effects on world economies and markets generally.

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.

The fund is subject to short sales risk. 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.

There are certain risks involved in investing in foreign securities. These risks include those resulting from 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. Securities of foreign issuers may be less liquid and more volatile. Investing a significant portion of assets in one country or region may accentuate these risks.

9. Federal Tax Information

The book-basis character of distributions made during the year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. These differences reflect the differing character of certain income items and net realized gains and losses for financial statement and tax purposes, and may result in reclassification among certain capital accounts on the financial statements.

As of period end, the components of investments for federal income tax purposes were as follows:


Federal tax cost of investments	$	50,584,567
Gross tax appreciation of investments	$	7,987,054
Gross tax depreciation of investments	(885,256)
Net tax appreciation (depreciation) of investments	7,101,798
Gross tax appreciation on securities sold short	577,736
Gross tax depreciation on securities sold short	(12,161,026)
Net tax appreciation (depreciation)	$	(4,481,492)

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

As of March 31, 2020, the fund had accumulated short-term capital losses of $(38,675,059), which represent net capital loss carryovers that may be used to offset future realized capital gains for federal income tax purposes. The capital loss carryovers may be carried forward for an unlimited period. Future capital loss carryover utilization in any given year may be subject to Internal Revenue Code limitations.

As of March 31, 2020, the fund had late-year ordinary loss deferrals of $(75,151), which represent certain qualified losses that the fund has elected to treat as having been incurred in the following fiscal year for federal income tax purposes.

Approval of Management Agreement

At a meeting held on June 24, 2020, the Fund’s Board of Directors (the "Board") 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 continual 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 and to be provided to the Fund;

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

•the Fund’s investment performance, including data comparing the Fund's performance 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 compliance policies, procedures, and regulatory experience of the Advisor and the Fund's service providers;

•the Advisor’s strategic plans;

•the Advisor’s business continuity plans and specifically its response to the COVID-19 pandemic;

•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;

•services provided and charges to the Advisor's other investment management clients;

•acquired fund fees and expenses;

•payments and practices in connection with financial intermediaries holding shares of the Fund and the services provided by intermediaries in connection therewith; and

•possible collateral benefits to the Advisor from the management of the Fund.

The Board held two meetings to consider the renewal. The independent Directors also met in private session three times to review and discuss the information provided in response to their request. The independent Directors held active discussions with the Advisor regarding the renewal of the management agreement, requesting supplemental information, and reviewing information provided by the Advisor in response thereto. The independent Directors 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 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.

In deciding to renew the management agreement, the Board based its decision on a number of factors, including without limitation the following:

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 the Advisor provides or arranges at its own expense a wide variety of services including without limitation the following:

•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 amounts paid by the Fund under Rule 12b-1 plans)

The Board noted that many of these services have expanded over time in terms of both 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, provides oversight of the investment performance process. It 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 investment performance information during the management agreement renewal 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 five-year period and below 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 its various committees, 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, technology support (including cyber security), new products and services offered to Fund shareholders, securities trading activities, portfolio valuation services, auditing services, and legal and operational compliance activities. The Board

found the services provided by the Advisor to the Fund under the management agreement to be competitive and of high quality.

COVID-19 Response. During 2020, much of the world experienced unprecedented change and challenges from the impacts of the rapidly evolving, worldwide spread of the COVID-19 virus. The Board evaluated the Advisor’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on service to the Fund. The Board found that Fund shareholders have continued to receive the Advisor’s investment management and other services without disruption, and Advisor personnel have demonstrated great resiliency in providing those services. The Board, directly and through its Audit Committee, continues to monitor the impact of the pandemic and the response of each of the Fund’s service providers.

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, to the extent they exist, through its competitive fee structure, offering competitive fees from fund inception, and through reinvestment in its business, infrastructure, investment capabilities and initiatives 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, expenses attributable to short sales, taxes, interest, extraordinary expenses, 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 Investment Company 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.

Comparison to Fees and Services Provided to Other Clients of the Advisor. The Board also requested and received information from the Advisor concerning the nature 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 and services provided in response thereto. 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 Directors reviewed such information and received representations from the Advisor that all such payments by the Fund were made pursuant to the Fund's Rule 12b-1 Plan and that all such payments by the Advisor were made from the Advisor’s resources and reasonable profits. The Board found such payments to be reasonable in scope and purpose.

Collateral or “Fall-Out” Benefits Derived by the Advisor. The Board considered the possible 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. To the extent there are potential collateral benefits, the board has been advised and has taken this into consideration in its review of the management contract with the Fund. 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 may receive 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.

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 retirement accounts 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 and change your withholding percentage for future distributions.

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.

*Some 403(b), 457 and qualified retirement plan distributions may be subject to 20% mandatory withholding, as they 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.

President’s Letter

Jonathan Thomas

Dear Investor:

Markets Bounced Back from Steep Sell-Off

The Fed’s response included slashing interest rates to near 0%, launching quantitative easing and unveiling several lending programs for corporations and municipalities. Congress delivered a

U.S. stocks (S&P 500 Index) returned more than 31% for the six-month period. The Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index gained nearly 4%, largely due to a corporate bond rally.

A Slow Return to Normal

Sincerely,

Jonathan Thomas

President and Chief Executive Officer

The aggregate value of these securities at the period end was $401,295,796, which represented 3.6% of total net assets. Of these securities, 0.4% of total net assets were deemed illiquid under policies approved by the Board of Directors.

(4)Equity-linked debt security. The aggregated value of these securities at the period end was $323,424,151, which represented 2.9% of total net assets.

Notes to Financial Statements

SEPTEMBER 30, 2020 (UNAUDITED)

1. Organization

The fund offers the Investor Class, I Class, Y Class, A Class, C Class, R Class, R5 Class, R6 Class and G Class. The A Class may incur an initial sales charge. The A Class and C Class may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge. Sale of the G Class commenced on August 1, 2019.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

Fixed income securities are valued at the evaluated mean as provided by independent pricing services or at the mean of the most recent bid and asked prices as provided by investment dealers. Corporate bonds, U.S. Treasury and Government Agency securities and convertible bonds 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.

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. Exchange-traded options contracts are valued at a mean as provided by independent pricing services. 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.

Equity-Linked Debt and Linked-Equity Securities — The fund may invest in hybrid equity securities, which usually convert into common stock at a date predetermined by the issuer. These securities generally offer a higher dividend yield than that of the common stock to which the security is linked. These instruments are issued by a company other than the one to which the security is linked and carry the credit of the issuer, not that of the underlying common stock. The securities’ appreciation is limited based on a predetermined final cap price at the date of the conversion. Risks of investing in these securities include, but are not limited to, a set time to capture the yield advantage, limited appreciation potential, decline in value of the underlying stock, and failure of the issuer to pay dividends or to deliver common stock at maturity.

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

Segregated Assets — In accordance with the 1940 Act, the fund segregates assets on its books and records to cover certain types of investment securities and other financial instruments. 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 collateral requirements.

Securities Lending — Securities are lent to qualified financial institutions and brokers. State Street Bank & Trust Co. serves as securities lending agent to the fund pursuant to a Securities Lending Agreement. The lending of securities exposes the fund to risks such as: the borrowers may fail to return the loaned securities, the borrowers may not be able to provide additional collateral, the fund may experience delays in recovery of the loaned securities or delays in access to collateral, or the fund may experience losses related to the investment collateral. To minimize certain risks, loan counterparties pledge collateral in the form of cash and/or securities. The lending agent has agreed to indemnify the fund in the case of default of any securities borrowed. Cash collateral received is invested in the State Street Navigator Securities Lending Government Money Market Portfolio, a money market mutual fund registered under the 1940 Act. The loans may also be secured by U.S. government securities in an amount at least equal to the market value of the securities loaned, plus accrued interest and dividends, determined on a daily basis and adjusted accordingly. By lending securities, the fund seeks to increase its net investment income through the receipt of interest and fees. Such income is reflected separately within the Statement of Operations. The value of loaned securities and related collateral outstanding at period end, if any, are shown on a gross basis within the Schedule of Investments and Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

The following table reflects a breakdown of transactions accounted for as secured borrowings, the gross obligation by the type of collateral pledged, and the remaining contractual maturity of those transactions as of September 30, 2020.


Remaining Contractual Maturity of Agreements
	Overnight and Continuous		<30 days	Between 30 & 90 days	>90 days	Total
Securities Lending Transactions(1)
Common Stocks	$	80,561,324	—	—	—	$	80,561,324
Convertible Bonds	2,995,682		—	—	—	2,995,682
Convertible Preferred Stocks	862,629		—	—	—	862,629
Total Borrowings	$	84,419,635	—	—	—	$	84,419,635
Gross amount of recognized liabilities for securities lending transactions						$	84,419,635

(1)Amount represents the payable for cash collateral received for securities on loan. This will generally be in the Overnight and Continuous column as the securities are typically callable on demand.

3. Fees and Transactions with Related Parties

Management Fees — The corporation has entered into a management agreement with ACIM, under which ACIM provides the fund with investment advisory and management services in exchange for a single, unified management fee (the fee) per class. The agreement provides that ACIM will pay all expenses of managing and operating the fund, except brokerage expenses, taxes, interest, fees and expenses of the independent directors (including legal counsel fees), extraordinary expenses, 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. The fee is computed and accrued daily based on each class's daily net assets and paid monthly in arrears. The difference in the fee among the classes is a result of their separate arrangements for non-Rule 12b-1 shareholder services. It is not the result of any difference in advisory or custodial fees or other expenses related to the management of the fund’s assets, which do not vary by class. The rate of the fee is determined by applying a fee rate calculation formula. This formula takes into account the fund’s assets as well as certain assets, if any, of other clients of the investment advisor outside the American Century Investments family of funds (such as subadvised funds and separate accounts) that use very similar investment teams and strategies (strategy assets). The investment advisor agreed to waive the G Class's management fee in its entirety. The investment advisor expects this waiver to remain in effect permanently and cannot terminate it without the approval of the Board of Directors.

The management fee schedule range and the effective annual management fee for each class for the period ended September 30, 2020 are as follows:


	Management Fee Schedule Range	Effective Annual Management Fee
Investor Class	0.80% to 1.00%	0.91%
I Class	0.60% to 0.80%	0.71%
Y Class	0.45% to 0.65%	0.56%
A Class	0.80% to 1.00%	0.91%
C Class	0.80% to 1.00%	0.91%
R Class	0.80% to 1.00%	0.91%
R5 Class	0.60% to 0.80%	0.71%
R6 Class	0.45% to 0.65%	0.56%
G Class	0.45% to 0.65%	0.00%(1)

(1)Effective annual management fee before waiver was 0.56%.

Interfund Transactions — The fund may enter into security transactions with other American Century Investments funds and other client accounts of the investment advisor, in accordance with the 1940 Act rules and procedures adopted by the Board of Directors. The rules and procedures require, among other things, that these transactions be effected at the independent current market price of the security. During the period, the interfund purchases and sales were $4,131,890 and $5,502,335, respectively. The effect of interfund transactions on the Statement of Operations was $1,463,397 in net realized gain (loss) on investment transactions.

4. Investment Transactions

Purchases and sales of investment securities, excluding short-term investments, for the period ended September 30, 2020 were $3,267,106,099 and $3,750,943,147, respectively.

5. Capital Share Transactions

8. 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 options contracts based on an equity index or specific security in order to manage its exposure to changes in market conditions. The risks of entering into equity price risk derivative instruments include the possible lack of liquidity, failure of the counterparty to meet its obligations, and that there may be unfavorable changes in the underlying investments or instruments. A fund may purchase or write an option contract to protect against declines in market value on the underlying index or security. A purchased option contract provides the fund a right, but not an obligation, to buy (call) or sell (put) an equity-related asset at a specified exercise price within a certain period or on a specific date. A written option contract holds the corresponding obligation to sell (call writing) or buy (put writing) the underlying equity-related asset if the purchaser exercises the option contract. The buyer pays the seller an initial purchase price (premium) for this right. Option contracts purchased by a fund are accounted for in the same manner as marketable portfolio securities. The premium received by a fund for option contracts written is recorded as a liability and valued daily. The proceeds from securities sold through the exercise of option contracts are decreased by the premium paid to purchase the option contracts. A fund may recognize a realized gain or loss when the option contract is closed, exercised or expires. Net realized and unrealized gains or losses occurring during the holding period of purchased options contracts are a component of net realized gain (loss) on investment transactions and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments, respectively. Net realized and unrealized gains or losses occurring during the holding period of written options contracts are a component of net realized gain (loss) on written options contract transactions and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on written options contracts, respectively. The fund’s average exposure to equity price risk derivative instruments held during the period was 607 written options contracts.

9. Risk Factors

The value of the fund’s shares will go up and down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably, based on the performance of the securities owned by the fund and other factors generally affecting the securities market.

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, provides oversight of the investment performance process. It 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 investment performance information during the management agreement renewal 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 three-, five-, and ten-year periods and below its benchmark for the one-year period 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.

valuation services, auditing services, and legal and operational compliance activities. The Board found the services provided by the Advisor to the Fund under the management agreement to be competitive and of high quality.

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, expenses attributable to short sales, taxes, interest, extraordinary expenses, 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 Investment Company 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 below the median of the total expense ratios of the Fund’s peer expense universe.

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.

Dear Investor:

Markets Bounced Back from Steep Sell-Off

The Fed’s response included slashing interest rates to near 0%, launching quantitative easing and unveiling several lending programs for corporations and municipalities. Congress delivered a

U.S. stocks (S&P 500 Index) returned more than 31% for the six-month period. The Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index gained nearly 4%, largely due to a corporate bond rally.

Notes to Financial Statements

SEPTEMBER 30, 2020 (UNAUDITED)

1. Organization

The fund offers the Investor Class, I Class, A Class, C Class, R Class, R5 Class and R6 Class. The A Class may incur an initial sales charge. The A Class and C Class may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

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. 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.

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. Various funds issued by American Century Asset Allocation Portfolios, Inc. own, in aggregate, 54% 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 ACIM will pay all expenses of managing and operating the fund, except brokerage expenses, taxes, interest, fees and expenses of the independent directors (including legal counsel fees), extraordinary expenses, 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. The fee is computed and accrued daily based on each class's daily net assets and paid monthly in arrears. The difference in the fee among the classes is a result of their separate arrangements for non-Rule 12b-1 shareholder services. It is not the result of any difference in advisory or custodial fees or other expenses related to the management of the fund’s assets, which do not vary by class. The rate of the fee is determined by applying a fee rate calculation formula. This formula takes into account the fund’s assets as well as certain assets, if any, of other clients of the investment advisor outside the American Century Investments family of funds (such as subadvised funds and separate accounts) that use very similar investment teams and strategies (strategy assets). The strategy assets of the fund also include the assets of NT Large Company Value Fund, one fund in a series issued by the corporation.

The management fee schedule range and the effective annual management fee for each class for the period ended September 30, 2020 are as follows:


	Management Fee Schedule Range	Effective Annual Management Fee

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, provides oversight of the investment performance process. It 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 investment performance information during the management agreement renewal 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.

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, expenses attributable to short sales, taxes, interest, extraordinary expenses, 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 Investment Company 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 at 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.

1. Organization

The fund offers the Investor Class, I Class, Y Class, A Class, C Class, R Class, R5 Class and R6 Class. The A Class may incur an initial sales charge. The A Class and C Class may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

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. U.S. Treasury and Government Agency securities 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.

Segregated Assets — In accordance with the 1940 Act, the fund segregates assets on its books and records to cover certain types of investment securities and other financial instruments. 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 collateral requirements.

Effective August 1, 2020, the rate of the fee is determined by applying a fee rate calculation formula. This formula takes into account the fund’s assets as well as certain assets, if any, of other clients of the investment advisor outside the American Century Investments family of funds (such as subadvised funds and separate accounts) that use very similar investment teams and strategies (strategy assets). The strategy assets of the fund also include the assets of NT Mid Cap Value Fund, one fund in a series issued by the corporation.

The management fee schedule range and the effective annual management fee for each class for the period ended September 30, 2020 are as follows:


	Management Fee Schedule Range	Effective Annual Management Fee
Investor Class	0.95% to 0.97%	0.97%

During the period, the interfund purchases and sales were $1,824,015 and $3,863,063, respectively. The effect of interfund transactions on the Statement of Operations was $353,243 in net realized gain (loss) on investment transactions.

Factors Considered

In deciding to renew the management agreement, the Board based its decision on a number of factors, including without limitation the following:

•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 amounts paid by the Fund under Rule 12b-1 plans)

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, provides oversight of the investment performance process. It 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 investment performance information during the management agreement renewal 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.

found the services provided by the Advisor to the Fund under the management agreement to be competitive and of high quality.

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, expenses attributable to short sales, taxes, interest, extraordinary expenses, 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 Investment Company 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 and the Advisor agreed to a breakpoint to the fund’s annual unified management fee calculation of 0.95% on strategy assets

over $12.5 billion beginning August 1, 2020. 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.

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 Large Company Value Fund (the fund) is one fund in a series issued by the corporation. The fund’s investment objective is to seek long-term capital growth. Income is a secondary objective. The fund is not permitted to invest in securities issued by companies assigned the Global Industry Classification Standard or the Bloomberg Industry Classification Standard for the tobacco industry. The fund offers the G Class.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

Distributions to Shareholders — Distributions from net investment income, if any, are generally declared and paid quarterly. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are generally declared and paid annually. The fund may elect to treat a portion of its payment to a redeeming shareholder, which represents the pro rata

share of undistributed net investment income and net realized gains, as a distribution for federal income tax

purposes (tax equalization).

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, 58% 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). The agreement provides that ACIM will pay all expenses of managing and operating the fund, except brokerage expenses, taxes, interest, fees and expenses of the independent directors (including legal counsel fees), and extraordinary expenses. The fee is computed and accrued daily based on the daily net assets of the fund 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 use very similar investment teams and strategies (strategy assets). The strategy assets of the fund also include the assets of Large Company Value Fund, one fund in a series issued by the corporation. The management fee schedule ranges from 0.35% to 0.55%. The investment advisor agreed to waive the fund's management fee in its entirety. The investment advisor expects this waiver to remain in effect permanently and cannot terminate it without the approval of the Board of Directors. The effective annual management fee for the period ended September 30, 2020 was 0.48% before waiver and 0.00% after waiver.

Interfund Transactions — The fund may enter into security transactions with other American Century Investments funds and other client accounts of the investment advisor, in accordance with the 1940 Act rules and procedures adopted by the Board of Directors. The rules and procedures require, among other things, that these transactions be effected at the independent current market price of the security. During the period, the interfund purchases and sales were $1,141,167 and $1,339,544, respectively. The effect of interfund transactions on the Statement of Operations was $(312,911) in net realized gain (loss) on investment transactions.

4. Investment Transactions

Purchases and sales of investment securities, excluding short-term investments and in kind transactions, for the period ended September 30, 2020 were $622,172,307 and $688,252,819, respectively.

On August 5, 2020, the fund received investment securities valued at $967,707,883 from a purchase in kind from other products managed by the fund's investment advisor. A purchase in kind occurs when a fund receives securities into its portfolio in lieu of cash as payment from a purchasing shareholder.

5. Fair Value Measurements

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

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

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.

6. Derivative Instruments

The value of foreign currency risk derivative instruments as of September 30, 2020, is disclosed on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an asset of $185,456 in unrealized appreciation on forward foreign currency exchange contracts and a liability of $470,594 in unrealized depreciation on forward foreign currency exchange contracts. For the six months ended September 30, 2020, the effect of foreign currency risk derivative instruments on the Statement of Operations was $(6,273,328) in net realized gain (loss) on forward foreign currency exchange contract transactions and $1,266,782 in change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on forward foreign currency exchange contracts.

7. Risk Factors

The fund is owned by a relatively small number of shareholders, and in the event such shareholders redeem, the ongoing operations of the fund may be at risk.

8. Federal Tax Information

As of period end, the components of investments for federal income tax purposes were as follows:


Federal tax cost of investments	$	2,200,804,064
Gross tax appreciation of investments	$	245,423,905
Gross tax depreciation of investments	(53,682,907)
Net tax appreciation (depreciation) of investments	$	191,740,998

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

9. Corporate Event

The fund will be renamed to NT Focused Large Cap Value Fund effective December 10, 2020.

Factors Considered

In deciding to renew the management agreement, the Board based its decision on a number of factors, including without limitation the following:

•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 amounts paid by the Fund under Rule 12b-1 plans)

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, provides oversight of the investment performance process. It 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 investment performance information during the management agreement renewal 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-, and five-year periods and below its benchmark for the ten-year period 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.

found the services provided by the Advisor to the Fund under the management agreement to be competitive and of high quality.

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, expenses attributable to short sales, taxes, interest, extraordinary expenses, 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 Investment Company 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 at 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.

Notes to Financial Statements

SEPTEMBER 30, 2020 (UNAUDITED)

1. Organization

American Century Capital Portfolios, Inc. (the corporation) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company and is organized as a Maryland corporation. NT Mid Cap Value Fund (the fund) is one fund in a series issued by the corporation. The fund’s investment objective is to seek long-term capital growth. Income is a secondary objective. The fund is not permitted to invest in securities issued by companies assigned the Global Industry Classification Standard or the Bloomberg Industry Classification Standard for the tobacco industry. The fund offers the G Class.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

Segregated Assets — In accordance with the 1940 Act, the fund segregates assets on its books and records to cover certain types of investment securities and other financial instruments. 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 collateral requirements.

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, 57% 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). The agreement provides that ACIM will pay all expenses of managing and operating the fund, except brokerage expenses, taxes, interest, fees and expenses of the independent directors (including legal counsel fees), and extraordinary expenses. The fee is computed and accrued daily based on the daily net assets of the fund and paid monthly in arrears. From April 1, 2020 through July 31, 2020, the annual management fee was 0.62%. Effective August 1, 2020, the rate of the fee is determined by applying a fee rate calculation formula. This formula takes into account the fund’s assets as well as certain assets, if any, of other clients of the investment advisor outside the American Century Investments family of funds (such as subadvised funds and separate accounts) that use very similar investment teams and strategies (strategy assets). The strategy assets of the fund also include the assets of Mid Cap Value Fund, one fund in a series issued by the corporation. The management fee schedule ranges from 0.60% to 0.62%. The investment advisor agreed to waive the fund's management fee in its entirety. The investment advisor expects this waiver to remain in effect permanently and cannot terminate it without the approval of the Board of Directors. The effective annual management fee for the period ended September 30, 2020 was 0.62% before waiver and 0.00% after waiver.

Interfund Transactions — The fund may enter into security transactions with other American Century Investments funds and other client accounts of the investment advisor, in accordance with the 1940 Act rules and procedures adopted by the Board of Directors. The rules and procedures require, among other things, that these transactions be effected at the independent current market price of the security. During the period, the interfund purchases and sales were $202,462 and $474,047, respectively. The effect of interfund transactions on the Statement of Operations was $67,302 in net realized gain (loss) on investment transactions.

4. Investment Transactions

Purchases and sales of investment securities, excluding short-term investments and in kind transactions, for the period ended September 30, 2020 were $333,158,772 and $355,836,609, respectively.

On August 5, 2020, the fund received investment securities valued at $569,469,820 from a purchase in kind from other products managed by the fund's investment advisor. A purchase in kind occurs when a fund receives securities into its portfolio in lieu of cash as payment from a purchasing shareholder.

5. Fair Value Measurements

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

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

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.

6. Derivative Instruments

The value of foreign currency risk derivative instruments as of September 30, 2020, is disclosed on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an asset of $31,541 in unrealized appreciation on forward foreign currency exchange contracts and a liability of $589,965 in unrealized depreciation on forward foreign currency exchange contracts. For the six months ended September 30, 2020, the effect of foreign currency risk derivative instruments on the Statement of Operations was $(3,903,829) in net realized gain (loss) on forward foreign currency exchange contract transactions and $1,408,107 in change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on forward foreign currency exchange contracts.

7. Risk Factors

The fund is owned by a relatively small number of shareholders, and in the event such shareholders redeem, the ongoing operations of the fund may be at risk.

8. Federal Tax Information

As of period end, the components of investments for federal income tax purposes were as follows:


Federal tax cost of investments	$	1,318,688,501
Gross tax appreciation of investments	$	112,559,167
Gross tax depreciation of investments	(42,498,694)
Net tax appreciation (depreciation) of investments	$	70,060,473

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

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, provides oversight of the investment performance process. It 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 investment performance information during the management agreement renewal 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.

and was within the range of its peer expense group. The Board and the Advisor agreed to a breakpoint to the fund’s annual unified management fee calculation of 0.60% on strategy assets over $12.5 billion beginning August 1, 2020. 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.

Dear Investor:

Markets Bounced Back from Steep Sell-Off

The Fed’s response included slashing interest rates to near 0%, launching quantitative easing and unveiling several lending programs for corporations and municipalities. Congress delivered a

U.S. stocks (S&P 500 Index) returned more than 31% for the six-month period. The Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index gained nearly 4%, largely due to a corporate bond rally.

A Slow Return to Normal

Notes to Financial Statements

SEPTEMBER 30, 2020 (UNAUDITED)

1. Organization

2. Significant Accounting Policies

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.

Segregated Assets — In accordance with the 1940 Act, the fund segregates assets on its books and records to cover certain types of investment securities and other financial instruments. 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 collateral requirements.


Remaining Contractual Maturity of Agreements
	Overnight and Continuous		<30 days	Between 30 & 90 days	>90 days	Total
Securities Lending Transactions(1)
Common Stocks	$	167,141	—	—	—	$	167,141
Gross amount of recognized liabilities for securities lending transactions						$	167,141

(1)Amount represents the payable for cash collateral received for securities on loan. This will generally be in the Overnight and Continuous column as the securities are typically callable on demand.

3. Fees and Transactions with Related Parties

Management Fees — The corporation has entered into a management agreement with ACIM, under which ACIM provides the fund with investment advisory and management services in exchange for a single, unified management fee (the fee) per class. The agreement provides that ACIM will pay all expenses of managing and operating the fund, except brokerage expenses, taxes, interest, fees and expenses of the independent directors (including legal counsel fees), extraordinary expenses, 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. The fee is computed and accrued daily based on each class’s daily net assets and paid monthly in arrears. The difference in the fee among the classes is a result of their separate arrangements for non-Rule 12b-1 shareholder services. It is not the result of any difference in advisory or custodial fees or other expenses related to the management of the fund’s assets, which do not vary by class. The rate of the fee is determined by applying a fee rate calculation formula. This formula takes into account the fund’s assets as well as certain assets, if any, of other clients of the investment advisor outside the American Century Investments family of funds (such as subadvised funds and separate accounts) that use very similar investment teams and strategies (strategy assets). The investment advisor agreed to waive the G Class's management fee in its entirety. The investment advisor expects this waiver to remain in effect permanently and cannot terminate it without the approval of the Board of Directors.

The management fee schedule range and the effective annual management fee for each class for the period ended September 30, 2020 are as follows:


	Management Fee Schedule Range	Effective Annual Management Fee
Investor Class	1.00% to 1.25%	1.24%
I Class	0.80% to 1.05%	1.04%
Y Class	0.65% to 0.90%	0.89%
A Class	1.00% to 1.25%	1.24%
C Class	1.00% to 1.25%	1.24%
R Class	1.00% to 1.25%	1.24%
R5 Class	0.80% to 1.05%	1.04%
R6 Class	0.65% to 0.90%	0.89%
G Class	0.65% to 0.90%	0.00%(1)

(1)Effective annual management fee before waiver was 0.89%.

4. Investment Transactions

Purchases and sales of investment securities, excluding short-term investments and in kind transactions, for the period ended September 30, 2020 were $955,797,008 and $667,860,213, respectively.

On July 9, 2020, the fund received investment securities valued at $108,764,472 from a purchase in kind from other products managed by the fund's investment advisor. A purchase in kind occurs when a fund receives securities into its portfolio in lieu of cash as payment from a purchasing shareholder.

5. Capital Share Transactions

Transactions in shares of the fund were as follows:

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

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

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.

8. Risk Factors

The fund invests in common stocks of small companies. Because of this, the fund may be subject to greater risk and market fluctuations than a fund investing in larger, more established companies.

9. Federal Tax Information

As of period end, the components of investments for federal income tax purposes were as follows:


Federal tax cost of investments	$	2,248,240,213
Gross tax appreciation of investments	$	144,408,293
Gross tax depreciation of investments	(291,486,274)
Net tax appreciation (depreciation) of investments	$	(147,077,981)

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

As of March 31, 2020, the fund had post-October capital loss deferrals of $(20,383,737), which represent certain qualified losses that the fund has elected to treat as having been incurred in the following fiscal year for federal income tax purposes.

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, provides oversight of the investment performance process. It 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 investment performance information during the management agreement renewal 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.

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.

8. Risk Factors

9. Federal Tax Information

As of period end, the components of investments for federal income tax purposes were as follows:


Federal tax cost of investments	$	1,946,482,837
Gross tax appreciation of investments	$	345,911,147
Gross tax depreciation of investments	(197,568,964)
Net tax appreciation (depreciation) of investments	$	148,342,183

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

10. Reorganization

On September 30, 2019, the Board of Directors approved an agreement and plan of reorganization (the reorganization), whereby the net assets of Capital Value Fund, one fund in a series issued by American Century Mutual Funds, Inc., were transferred to Value Fund in exchange for shares of Value Fund. The purpose of the transaction was to combine two funds with substantially similar investment objectives and strategies. The financial statements and performance history of Value Fund survived after the reorganization. The reorganization was effective at the close of the NYSE on October 25, 2019.

The reorganization was accomplished by a tax-free exchange of shares. On October 25, 2019, Capital Value Fund exchanged its shares for shares of Value Fund as follows:


Original Fund/Class	Shares Exchanged	New Fund/Class	Shares Received
Capital Value Fund – Investor Class	15,563,219	Value Fund – Investor Class	16,039,644
Capital Value Fund – I Class	417,145	Value Fund – I Class	430,430
Capital Value Fund – A Class	370,169	Value Fund – A Class	381,042

The net assets of Capital Value Fund and Value Fund immediately before the reorganization were $132,164,476 and $2,589,619,628, respectively. Capital Value Fund's unrealized appreciation of $40,158,609 was combined with that of Value Fund. Immediately after the reorganization, the combined net assets were $2,721,784,104.

Assuming the reorganization had been completed on April 1, 2019, the beginning of the annual reporting period, the pro forma results of operations for the period ended March 31, 2020 are as follows:


Net investment income (loss)	$	51,635,999
Net realized and unrealized gain (loss)	(474,993,661)
Net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations	$	(423,357,662)

Because the combined investment portfolios have been managed as a single integrated portfolio since the reorganization was completed, it is not practicable to separate the amounts of revenue and earnings of Capital Value Fund that have been included in the fund’s Statement of Operations since October 25, 2019.

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, provides oversight of the investment performance process. It 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 investment performance information during the management agreement renewal 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-, five-, and ten-year periods and below its benchmark for the three-year period reviewed by the Board. The Board discussed the Fund's performance with the Advisor, including steps being taken to address underperformance, and was satisfied with the efforts being undertaken by the Advisor. The Board found the investment management services provided by the Advisor to the Fund to be satisfactory and consistent with the management agreement.

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.
