ANNUAL SHAREHOLDER REPORT
Global Real Estate Fund
Investor Class (ARYVX)
October 31, 2025
This annual shareholder report contains important information about Global Real Estate Fund for the period of November 1, 2024 to October 31, 2025. You can find additional information about the fund at americancentury.com/docs. You can also request this information by contacting us at 1-800-345-2021.
What were the fund costs for the last year? (based on a hypothetical $10,000 investment)
Costs of a $10,000 investment
Costs paid as a percentage of a $10,000 investment
Investor Class $112 1.11%
What were the key factors that affected the fund's performance?
Global Real Estate Fund Investor Class returned 1.79% for the reporting period ended October 31, 2025.
The fund seeks high total investment return through a combination of capital appreciation and current income.
The fund's selection of health care stocks, coupled with an overweight in the sector, drove performance during the period. Senior living real estate investment trusts, which benefit from a supply and demand imbalance that favors existing units, propelled results for the fund. The top two holdings for the fund were positions with notable exposure to senior living.
Stock picks in the industrial sector proved fortuitous. The fund avoided certain positions that underperformed, while at the same time, certain overweight and portfolio-only holdings lifted performance.
Choices of investments in the office sector weighed on performance. Limited exposure to certain stocks based in New York and Japan slowed performance. Security selection in the residential sector also hampered results, driven by one position that was affected by its exposure to New York City market conditions and a U.K.-based homebuilder that took a charge to remediate construction issues.
From a geographic standpoint, selection in the U.S. buoyed performance. Overweight positions in senior housing gave performance a boost, while avoiding certain stocks in life science real estate, residential and cold storage aided results. Allocation to Japan was the top regional detractor.

Costs of a $10,000 investment
Costs paid as a percentage of a $10,000 investment
G Class $0 0.00%
What were the key factors that affected the fund's performance?
Global Real Estate Fund G Class returned 2.93% for the reporting period ended October 31, 2025.
The fund seeks high total investment return through a combination of capital appreciation and current income.
The fund's selection of health care stocks, coupled with an overweight in the sector, drove performance during the period. Senior living real estate investment trusts, which benefit from a supply and demand imbalance that favors existing units, propelled results for the fund. The top two holdings for the fund were positions with notable exposure to senior living.
Stock picks in the industrial sector proved fortuitous. The fund avoided certain positions that underperformed, while at the same time, certain overweight and portfolio-only holdings lifted performance.
Choices of investments in the office sector weighed on performance. Limited exposure to certain stocks based in New York and Japan slowed performance. Security selection in the residential sector also hampered results, driven by one position that was affected by its exposure to New York City market conditions and a U.K.-based homebuilder that took a charge to remediate construction issues.
From a geographic standpoint, selection in the U.S. buoyed performance. Overweight positions in senior housing gave performance a boost, while avoiding certain stocks in life science real estate, residential and cold storage aided results. Allocation to Japan was the top regional detractor.

Investor Class $114 1.16%
What were the key factors that affected the fund's performance?
Real Estate Fund Investor Class returned (2.94)% for the reporting period ended October 31, 2025.
The fund seeks high total investment return through a combination of capital appreciation and current income.
Security selection and an overweight position in the health care sector contributed to performance. The fund tends to gravitate toward senior living real estate investment trusts (REITs) due to a dislocation in supply and demand that gives existing units ample pricing power. A pair of senior living REITs were the fund's top contributors.
Investment choices in the industrial sector aided results. A lack of exposure to two REITs, a cold storage REIT and another for regulated cannabis, lifted performance.
Selection in the retail sector weighed on performance. Limited exposure to an owner of retail net lease assets as interest rates lowered was a tailwind for the company. A position in a shopping mall owner also slowed results as tariff pressures softened retailer fundamentals.
Stock picks in the residential sector hampered performance. Limited exposure to a REIT that owns upscale urban apartments, coupled with an overweight to a REIT with exposure to New York City multifamily housing, detracted from results.

Selection in the retail sector weighed on performance. Limited exposure to an owner of retail net lease assets as interest rates lowered was a tailwind for the company. A position in a shopping mall owner also slowed results as tariff pressures softened retailer fundamentals.
Stock picks in the residential sector hampered performance. Limited exposure to a REIT that owns upscale urban apartments, coupled with an overweight to a REIT with exposure to New York City multifamily housing, detracted from results.

R6 Class $80 0.81%
What were the key factors that affected the fund's performance?
Real Estate Fund R6 Class returned (2.62)% for the reporting period ended October 31, 2025.
The fund seeks high total investment return through a combination of capital appreciation and current income.
Security selection and an overweight position in the health care sector contributed to performance. The fund tends to gravitate toward senior living real estate investment trusts (REITs) due to a dislocation in supply and demand that gives existing units ample pricing power. A pair of senior living REITs were the fund's top contributors.
Investment choices in the industrial sector aided results. A lack of exposure to two REITs, a cold storage REIT and another for regulated cannabis, lifted performance.
Selection in the retail sector weighed on performance. Limited exposure to an owner of retail net lease assets as interest rates lowered was a tailwind for the company. A position in a shopping mall owner also slowed results as tariff pressures softened retailer fundamentals.
Stock picks in the residential sector hampered performance. Limited exposure to a REIT that owns upscale urban apartments, coupled with an overweight to a REIT with exposure to New York City multifamily housing, detracted from results.

Notes to Financial Statements
OCTOBER 31, 2025
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. The financial statements herein relate to the following funds and the respective share classes offered by the corporation.
Global Real Estate Fund Investor, I, Y, A, C, R, R5, R6, G
Real Estate Fund Investor, I, Y, A, C, R, R5, R6
Each fund represents a single operating segment as its operating results are monitored as a whole and the long-term asset allocation is determined in accordance with its prospectus, based on defined investment objectives executed by the fund's portfolio management team. The President of the funds serves as the chief operating decision maker (CODM). A fund's income, expenses, assets, and performance are regularly monitored and assessed by the CODM, using the information consistent with that presented in the financial statements and financial highlights.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the funds in preparation of their financial statements. Each 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 - Each fund determines the fair value of its investments and computes its net asset value (NAV) 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 value of a fund's investments is determined by American Century Investment Management, Inc. (ACIM) (the investment advisor), as the valuation designee, pursuant to its valuation policies and procedures. The Board of Directors oversees the valuation designee and reviews its valuation policies and procedures at least annually.
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.
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.
Open-end management investment companies are valued at the reported NAV per share. Repurchase agreements are valued at cost, which approximates fair value.
If the valuation designee determines that the market price for a portfolio security is not readily available or is believed by the valuation designee to be unreliable, such security is valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the valuation designee, in accordance with its policies and procedures. Circumstances that may cause a fund to determine that market quotations are not available or reliable include, but are not limited to: when there is a significant event subsequent to the market quotation; trading in a security has been halted during the trading day; or trading in a security is insufficient or did not take place due to a closure or holiday.
The valuation designee monitors for significant events occurring after the close of an investment's primary exchange but before the NAV per share is determined. Significant events may include, but are not limited to: corporate announcements and transactions; regulatory news, 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 valuation designee also monitors for significant fluctuations between domestic and foreign markets, as evidenced by the U.S. market or such other indicators that it deems appropriate. The valuation designee 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.
Fair Value Measurements - The investments valuation process is based on several considerations and may use multiple inputs to determine the fair value of the investments held by a 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
11
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 Schedule of Investments provides additional information on a fund's level classifications.
Foreign Currency Translations -All assets and liabilities, including investment securities and other financial instruments, initially expressed in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars each day at the mean of the appropriate currency exchange rate at the close of the NYSE as provided by an independent pricing service. A 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.
Security Transactions -Security transactions are accounted for as of the trade date. Net realized gains and losses are determined on the identified cost basis, which is also used for federal income tax purposes. Certain countries impose taxes on realized gains on the sale of securities registered in their country. A fund records the foreign tax expense, if any, on an accrual basis. The foreign tax expense on realized gains and unrealized appreciation reduces the net realized gain (loss) on investment transactions and net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments, respectively.
Investment Income - Dividend income less foreign taxes withheld, if any, is recorded as of the ex-dividend date. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or long-term capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. A fund may estimate the components of distributions received that may be considered nontaxable distributions or long-term capital gain distributions for income tax purposes. Interest income less foreign taxes withheld, if any, is recorded on the accrual basis and includes paydown gain (loss) and accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums. Securities lending income is net of fees and rebates earned by the lending agent for its services.
Repurchase Agreements - A fund may enter into repurchase agreements with institutions that ACIM has determined are creditworthy pursuant to criteria adopted by the Board of Directors. A 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 a fund under each repurchase agreement.
Joint Trading Account - Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission, a fund may transfer uninvested cash balances into a joint trading account with certain other funds in the American Century Investments family of funds. These balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Agency obligations.
Income Tax Status -It is each fund's policy to distribute substantially all net investment income and net realized gains to shareholders and to otherwise qualify as a regulated investment company under provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, no provision has been made for income taxes. A fund files U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S. tax returns as applicable. A 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 a 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 a fund are allocated to each class of shares based on their relative net assets.
Distributions to Shareholders- Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date in a manner consistent with provisions of the 1940 Act. A 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). Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are generally declared and paid annually. Distributions from net investment income, if any, are generally declared and paid as follows:
Global Real Estate Fund Annually
Real Estate Fund Quarterly
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 a fund. In addition, in the normal course of business, a fund may enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against a fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered by management to be remote.
Securities Lending -Securities are lent to qualified financial institutions and brokers. State Street Bank & Trust Co. serves as securities lending agent to the funds pursuant to a Securities Lending Agreement. The lending of securities exposes a fund to risks such as: the borrowers may fail to return the loaned securities, the borrowers may not be able to provide additional collateral, a fund may experience delays in recovery of the loaned securities or delays in access to
12
collateral, or a 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 funds 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, a 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, and the remaining contractual maturities of any securities lending transactions are considered overnight and continuous.
3. Fees and Transactions with Related Parties
Certain officers and directors of the corporation are also officers and/or directors of American Century Companies, Inc. (ACC). The corporation's investment advisor, ACIM, the corporation's distributor, American Century Investment Services, Inc. (ACIS), and the corporation's transfer agent, American Century Services, LLC, are wholly owned, directly or indirectly, by ACC.
Management Fees - The corporation has entered into a management agreement with ACIM, under which ACIM provides each 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 a 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 the daily net assets of each class 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 a fund's assets, which do not vary by class. 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 annual management fee including any waiver impacts are as follows:
Global Real Estate Fund Annual Management Fee Management Fee Waived
Investor Class 1.11% -
I Class 0.91% -
Y Class 0.76% -
A Class 1.11% -
C Class 1.11% -
R Class 1.11% -
R5 Class 0.91% -
R6 Class 0.76% -
G Class
0.00%(1)
$3,289,901
(1)Annual management fee before waiver was 0.76%.
For each fund with a stepped fee schedule, the rate of the fee is determined by applying a fee rate calculation formula. This formula takes into account a 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), as well as exchange-traded funds managed by the investment advisor, that use very similar investment teams and strategies (strategy assets).
The management fee schedule range and the effective annual management fee for the period ended October 31, 2025 are as follows:
Real Estate Fund
Management Fee
Schedule Range
Effective Annual
Management Fee
Investor Class 1.00% to 1.15% 1.15%
I Class 0.80% to 0.95% 0.95%
Y Class 0.65% to 0.80% 0.80%
A Class 1.00% to 1.15% 1.15%
C Class 1.00% to 1.15% 1.15%
R Class 1.00% to 1.15% 1.15%
R5 Class 0.80% to 0.95% 0.95%
R6 Class 0.65% to 0.80% 0.80%

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 October 31, 2025 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 funds. The directors receive detailed information about the funds and their investment advisor regularly throughout the year, and meet at least quarterly with management of the investment advisor to review reports about fund operations. The funds' officers do not receive compensation from the funds.
Other Expenses - A fund's other expenses may include interest charges, clearing exchange fees, proxy solicitation expenses, fees associated with the recovery of foreign tax reclaims and other miscellaneous expenses.
Related Party Ownership -A related party, including other funds advised by American Century Investments, may own outstanding shares of a fund. Related parties do not invest in a fund for the purpose of exercising management or control. As of period end, related parties with ownership of 5% or more of the outstanding shares of a fund are as follows:
Related Party % of Outstanding Shares
Global Real Estate Fund American Century Asset Allocation Portfolios, Inc. 36%
Interfund Transactions - A 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. There were no interfund transactions during the period.

6. Risk Factors
The overall risk profile of a fund will be impacted by the fund's investment strategy, including the investment vehicles and techniques utilized to manage a portfolio. The net asset value of a fund 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. Market risks, including political, regulatory, economic and social developments, can affect the value of a fund's investments. Natural disasters, public health emergencies, war, terrorism and other unforeseeable events may lead to increased market volatility and may have adverse long-term effects on world economies and markets generally.

7. Federal Tax Information
The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended October 31, 2025 and October 31, 2024 were as follows:
2025 2024
Distributions Paid From: Distributions Paid From:
Ordinary
Income
Long-term
Capital Gains
Tax Return of Capital Ordinary
Income
Long-term
Capital Gains
Tax Return of Capital
Global Real Estate Fund $ 23,126,497 - - $ 23,806,313 - -
Real Estate Fund $ 12,335,580 - $ 1,165,052 $ 14,163,209 - $ 654,896
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 federal tax cost of investments and the components of distributable earnings on a tax-basis were as follows:
Global Real Estate Fund Real Estate Fund
Federal tax cost of investments $ 675,071,211 $ 435,102,823
Gross tax appreciation of investments $ 154,219,686 $ 118,042,064
Gross tax depreciation of investments (12,614,640) (14,135,329)
Net tax appreciation (depreciation) of investments 141,605,046 103,906,735
Net tax appreciation (depreciation) on translation of assets and liabilities in foreign currencies (132,008) -
Net tax appreciation (depreciation) $ 141,473,038 $ 103,906,735
Undistributed ordinary income $ 23,394,524 -
Accumulated short-term capital losses $ (48,022,765) $ (8,300,090)
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation), if any, is attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales.
Accumulated capital losses represent net capital loss carryovers that may be used to offset future realized capital gains for federal income tax purposes. The capital loss carryovers may be carried forward for an unlimited period. Future capital loss carryover utilization in any given year may be subject to Internal Revenue Code limitations.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the shareholders and the Board of Directors of American Century Capital Portfolios, Inc.:
Opinion on the Financial Statements and Financial Highlights
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of Global Real Estate Fund and Real Estate Fund (the "Funds"), two of the funds constituting the American Century Capital Portfolios, Inc., as of October 31, 2025, the related statements of operations for the year then ended, statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements and financial highlights"). In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds as of October 31, 2025, and the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds' management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds' financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Funds are not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of their internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds' internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2025, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Approval of Management Agreements
At a meeting held on June 25, 2025, the Funds' Board of Directors (the "Board") unanimously approved the renewal of the management agreements pursuant to which American Century Investment Management, Inc. (the "Advisor") acts as the investment advisor for each Fund. Under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (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, including a majority of the independent Directors.
Prior to its consideration of the renewal of the Funds' management agreements, the Directors requested and reviewed data and information compiled by the Advisor and certain independent consultants and data providers concerning each Fund. 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 information that the Board and its committees receive and consider over time.
In connection with its consideration of the renewal of the management agreements, the Board's review and evaluation of the services provided by the Advisor and its affiliates included, but was not limited to:
the nature, extent, and quality of investment management, shareholder services, distribution services, and other services provided to each Fund;
the wide range of programs and services the Advisor and other service providers provide to each Fund and its shareholders on a routine and non-routine basis;
each Fund's investment performance compared to appropriate benchmarks and/or peer groups of other mutual funds with similar investment objectives and strategies;
the cost of owning each Fund compared to the cost of owning similarly-managed funds;
the Advisor's compliance policies, procedures, and regulatory experience and those of certain other service providers;
the Advisor's strategic plans, generally, and with respect to the Advisor's response to investment management industry challenges;
the Advisor's business continuity plans, vendor management practices, and information security practices;
the cost of services provided to each Fund, the profitability of the Funds to the Advisor, and the Advisor's financial results of operation;
possible economies of scale associated with the Advisor's management of each Fund;
any collateral benefits derived by the Advisor from the management of each Fund;
fees and expenses associated with any investment by each Fund in other funds;
payments to intermediaries by each Fund and the Advisor and services provided by intermediaries in connection therewith; and
services provided and charges to the Advisor's other investment management clients.
The Board held two meetings to consider the renewal. The independent Directors also met in private session multiple 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 consultant and data providers, and the independent Directors' independent counsel in connection with the approval. They determined that the information was sufficient for them to evaluate the management agreement for each 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 agreements, the Board based its decision on a number of factors, including without limitation the following:
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services - Generally. Under each Fund's management agreement, the Advisor is responsible for providing or arranging for all services necessary for the operation of each Fund. The Board noted that the Advisor provides or arranges at its own expense a wide variety of services which include, without limitation, the following:
constructing and designing each Fund
portfolio research and security selection
initial capitalization/funding
securities trading
Fund administration
custody of Fund assets
daily valuation of each Fund's portfolio
liquidity monitoring and management
risk management, including information security
shareholder servicing and transfer agency, including shareholder confirmations, recordkeeping, and communications
23
legal services (except the independent Directors' counsel)
regulatory and portfolio compliance
financial reporting
marketing and distribution (except amounts paid by each 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 each Fund is quite complex and allows Fund shareholders access to professional money management, instant diversification of their investments, 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 each Fund in accordance with its investment objectives and principal investment 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 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 each 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 from both the Advisor and an independent third party during the management agreement renewal process. If performance concerns are identified, the Board discusses with the Advisor the reasons for such results and any actions being taken to improve performance and may conduct special reviews until performance improves. The Board found the investment management services provided by the Advisor to each Fund to be satisfactory and consistent with its respective management agreement.
Shareholder and Other Services. Under the management agreements, the Advisor provides each 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 information 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 each Fund under the respective management agreement to be competitive and of high quality.
Costs of Services and Profitability. The Advisor provides detailed information concerning its cost of providing various services to each Fund, its profitability in managing each Fund (pre- and post-distribution), and its financial results of operation. The Directors have reviewed with the Advisor the methodology used to prepare this financial information and arranged for an independent consultant to confirm the reasonableness of the allocation methodology used. This information is considered in evaluating the Advisor's financial condition, its ability to continue to provide services under the management agreements, and the reasonableness of the terms of the current management agreements. The Board concluded that the Advisor's profits were reasonable in light of the services provided to each 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 each 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 sharing economies of scale, to the extent they exist, through its fee structure, and through reinvestment in its business, infrastructure, investment capabilities and initiatives to provide shareholders enhanced and expanded content and services.
Comparison to Other Funds' Fees. The management agreements provide that each Fund pays the Advisor a single, all-inclusive (or unified) management fee for providing all services necessary for the management and operation of each Fund, other than brokerage and other transaction fees and expenses relating to acquisition and disposition of portfolio securities, acquired fund fees and expenses, taxes, interest, extraordinary expenses, fund litigation expenses, fees and expenses of the Funds' 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 Investment Company Act Rule 12b-1. 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 Funds and provides a direct incentive to minimize administrative inefficiencies. Part of the Board's analysis of fee levels involves reviewing certain evaluative data compiled by an independent provider comparing each Fund's unified fee to the total expense ratios of its peers. The
24
Board concluded that the management fee paid by each Fund to the Advisor under its respective management agreement is reasonable in light of the services provided to the Funds.
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 Funds. They observed that these varying types of client accounts require different services and involve different regulatory and entrepreneurial risks than the management of each Fund. The Board analyzed this information and concluded that the fees charged and services provided to each Fund were reasonable by comparison.
Payments to Intermediaries. The Directors also requested and received a description of payments made to intermediaries by each Fund and the Advisor and services provided in response thereto. These payments include various payments made by each Fund or the Advisor to different types of intermediaries and recordkeepers for distribution and service activities provided for each Fund. The Directors reviewed such information and received representations from the Advisor that all such payments by each 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.
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 each Fund. They concluded that the Advisor's primary business is managing 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 each Fund. The Board noted that additional assets from other clients may offer the Advisor some benefit from increased leverage with prospective clients, 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 Funds, 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. Where applicable, assets of other client accounts are included with the assets of certain Funds to determine breakpoints in each such Fund's management fee schedule.
Existing Relationship. The Board also considered whether there was any reason for not continuing the existing arrangement with the Advisor. In this regard, the Board was mindful of the potential disruptions of each 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 each 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 each Fund.
Set forth below are certain of the Fund-specific factors that the Board considered in addition to the other factors described herein:
Global Real Estate Fund- The Fund's performance was above its benchmark for the one-, three-, five-, and ten-year periods reviewed by the Board. In relation to industry peers, the Fund was above the median of its peer performance universe as identified by a third-party service provider for the one-, three-, five-, and ten-year periods. 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. In addition, the Board reviewed the Fund's position relative to the narrower set of its expense group peers.
Real Estate Fund- The Fund's performance was above its benchmark for the one-, three-, five-, and ten-year periods reviewed by the Board. In relation to industry peers, the Fund was above the median of its peer performance universe as identified by a third-party service provider for the one- and three-year periods and below for the five- and ten-year periods. 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. In addition, the Board reviewed the Fund's position relative to the narrower set of its expense group peers. The Board also noted that economies of scale are shared with the Fund and its shareholders through management fee breakpoints that serve to reduce the effective management fee as the assets of the Fund grow. Assets of various classes of the same Fund or similarly-managed products are combined with the assets of the Fund to help achieve those breakpoints.
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 received over time, determined that the terms of the management agreements are fair and reasonable and that the management fees charged to the Funds are reasonable in light of the services provided and that the management agreements between the Funds and the Advisor should be renewed for an additional one-year period.
