American Century Global Equity Capabilities
Notes We believe that accelerating growth in revenues and earnings results in significant potential for
stock price appreciation.
We focus on inflection points in companies‟ fundamentals because we believe markets are
inefficient at identifying such points.
Our process is designed to uncover stocks that outperform as earnings growth accelerates,
market expectations rise and multiples expand.
Investing With a Time-Tested Growth Philosophy

A company’s absolute level of growth
is not as important as . . . . . . its direction of growth.

The initial catalyst for owning
shares of Grifols was an
improving trend in their pricing
dynamics for blood plasma.
Case for sustainable growth:
– Synergies from merger with
Talacris
– Continued improvement in
pricing for plasma
– Market share gain in the U.S.
as competitors face
production challenges
– New indications for certain
plasma components
Investment Example — Grifols SA (Spain)

Global Concentrated Growth Equity
For purposes of compliance with the Global Investment Performance Standards (“GIPS® standards”), the Firm is
defined as American Century Investment Management, Inc. (“ACIM”).
American Century Investment Management, Inc. claims compliance with the Global Investment Performance
Standards (GIPS®) and has prepared and presented this report in compliance with the GIPS standards. ACIM has
been independently verified for the periods January 1, 1992 to December 31, 2010.
Verification assesses whether (1) the firm has complied with all the composite construction requirements of the
GIPS standards on a firm-wide basis and (2) the firm’s policies and procedures are designed to calculate and
present performance in compliance with the GIPS standards. The Global Concentrated Growth Equity composite
has been examined for the periods June 1, 2005 to December 31, 2010. The verification and performance
examination reports are available upon request.
Global Concentrated Growth Equity composite includes all portfolios managed using a concentrated growth
investment strategy primarily targeting large U.S. companies and large non-U.S. companies in developed
countries.
Performance results are expressed and calculated in U.S. dollars. The return may increase or decrease as a result
of currency fluctuations.
Consultants and investors supplied with these performance results are advised to use this data in accordance with
guidelines issued by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. Past performance may not be
indicative of future returns. The value of any investment may rise or fall over time. Principal is not guaranteed and
investors may receive less than the full amount of principal invested at the time of redemption if asset values have
declined.
The performance results for this composite are net of foreign income tax withholding and include the effect of
foreign currency where applicable. The foreign income tax withholding rate varies by country and is recorded at the
tax rate specified by the country’s tax treaty. The composite is not a sub sector of a larger portfolio.
The performance results for the MSCI World Index are net of foreign income tax withholding. The assumed tax
rate varies form 0% to 35%, using the Mon perspective of a Luxembourg holding company. Effective December 1,
2010, the benchmark for this composite was changed from the MSCI World Free Index to the MSCI World Index.
Since 2004 these indices have been identically constructed. This change merely updates the fund’s benchmark to
the more commonly used index. The MSCI World Index is a free float-adjusted market capitalization weighted
index that is designed to measure the equity market performance of developed markets. Benchmark return
information is provided for comparative and referential purposes only. Benchmark information is provided by third
party sources, and is considered to be accurate.
The Composite’s dispersion of annual returns is measured by the asset-weighted standard deviation of individual
portfolio annual returns. Only portfolios that have been managed within the Composite for the full year are
included in the asset-weighted standard deviation calculation. Dispersion is not calculated for composites that
have five or fewer portfolios for the full calendar year.
The Firm utilizes a time-weighted total rate of return methodology to calculate performance. All portfolios are
valued daily based on principal market values plus accrued income. The market value of an account is the sum of
a portfolio’s total assets, including accrued interest and dividends, cash and cash equivalents, short-term
instruments, and securities valued at current market prices. Security transactions are recognized based on trade-
date accounting. Interest is recorded on an accrual basis and dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Portfolio returns are calculated monthly. For the Firm’s mutual fund accounts, portfolio returns are calculated
monthly using an account’s beginning and ending month-end unitized value and distributions of income and
capital gains, if applicable. For the Firm’s non-mutual fund accounts, portfolio returns are calculated daily using
the change in an account’s market value after taking into account cash flows on the account. All cash flows are
assumed to have been invested at the start of the day they are processed. Daily returns are geometrically linked
to determine the monthly return. Gross-of-fee returns include all trading costs and are calculated before
management fees, administrative fees, custody fees and distribution and service fees, as applicable. Net-of-fee
returns are calculated after all trading costs, actual management fees, custody fees, distribution and services
fees, as applicable. Management fees are based on the pro-rated annual management fee schedule net of
reimbursements. The composite returns are calculated monthly by weighting each account’s monthly return by its
beginning market value as a percent of the composite’s total beginning market value. Quarterly and annual
composite returns are calculated by geometrically linking the monthly composite returns. Policies for valuing
portfolios, calculating performance and preparing compliant presentations are available upon request.
The Firm established a $2 million minimum portfolio size for inclusion in the composite.
New portfolios are generally included in the composite rate of return calculations at the beginning of the month
immediately following the date they were funded. If a portfolio’s funding occurs after the 21st day of a month, the
portfolio is included in performance reporting as of the first day of the second full month after opening. Portfolios
that change investment strategies are transferred between composites in the first full monthly reporting period the
portfolios are managed under the new style. Terminated portfolios are included in the Composite rate of return
calculations through the completion of their last full month under management.
There has been no material change in personnel responsible for investment management. Leverage is not utilized
in this composite. Futures (and currency forwards and futures, where applicable or appropriate) are occasionally
used to manage portfolio risk. Other derivative instruments may be used, as allowed, as part of the investment
strategy.
The creation date for this composite is June 2005.
A complete list of the Firm’s composite descriptions is available upon request.
