Before you invest, you should also review the prospectus for the Contract, which contains more information about the Contract’s features, benefits, and risks. You can find the current prospectus and other information about the Contract online at www.corebridgefinancial.com/rs/prospectus-and-reports/annuities.

The Contract is available to participants who receive certificates in certain employer-sponsored qualified retirement plans, as an individual retirement annuity (IRA) or as a non-qualified contract. Nonqualified contracts are also available for certain employer plans as well as for certain after-tax arrangements that are not part of an employer’s plan. The Contracts permit Participants to invest in and receive retirement benefits in one or more Fixed Account Options and/or an array of Variable Account Options described in this prospectus. If your Contract is part of your employer’s retirement program, that program will describe which Variable Account Options are available to you. If your Contract is a tax-deferred nonqualified annuity that is not part of your employer’s retirement plan, those Variable Account Options that are invested in Mutual Funds available to the public outside of annuity contracts, life insurance contracts, or certain employer-sponsored retirement plans will not be available within your Contract.

The Contract may be used where you have engaged an Investment Adviser to provide investment advice regarding the periodic allocation of investments within the Contract. We call this an “Advisory Program.” For new investors, the Investment Adviser must be associated with our affiliate VALIC Financial Advisors (“VFA”), Inc., a registered investment adviser. The Investment Adviser will charge a fee for such services, and any fee is in addition to the Contract’s fees and expenses. We no longer honor investment adviser transfer requests in connection with Advisory Programs that are offered through third-party Investment Advisers.

Investment adviser fees deducted from the Contract may reduce the death benefit and annuity benefits, and may be subject to surrender charges, federal and state income taxes and a 10% federal penalty tax.

This summary prospectus describes 10 different series (or classes) of the Contract. We call these classes “series” in the contract and in marketing materials. There are differences among the series with respect to surrender charges, other fees and charges, restrictions, and features. Each series is offered only to certain group plans or through certain markets.

An employer purchasing the Contract for a retirement plan, or the owner of an individual Contract, may cancel a newly purchased Contract within 20 days of receiving it without paying fees or penalties.

In some states, this cancellation period may be longer. Upon cancellation, you will receive either a full refund of the amount you paid with your application or your total Contract value. You should review the prospectus, or consult with your investment professional, for additional information about the specific cancellation terms that apply. The right of cancellation under this Contract does not apply to Participants in a group plan except in a limited number of states.

Additional information about certain investment products, including variable annuities, has been prepared by the SEC’s staff and is available at www.Investor.gov.

Investment Professional Compensation	Your financial professional may receive compensation for selling this Contract to you in the form of commissions, additional cash compensation, and non-cash compensation.

You may determine to engage an Investment Adviser to provide investment advice to you for the Contract. Your Investment Adviser will charge an Advisory Program Fee. We do not set your investment advisory fee. While VALIC may deduct the Advisory Program Fee from your Account Value based on instructions from your Investment Adviser, we do not retain any portion of these fees. Because VFA is the Investment Adviser of your Advisory Program, VALIC, as the parent company of VFA will indirectly benefit from VFA’s receipt of Advisory Program Fees. In addition, Investment Advisers and their managers are eligible for benefits from us or our affiliates, such as non-cash compensation items. One or more of these conflicts of interest may influence your financial professional to recommend this Contract over another investment.	General Information – Distribution of the Contracts

	CONFLICTS OF INTEREST			Location in Prospectus
Exchanges	Some financial professionals may have a financial incentive to offer you a new contract in place of the one you already own. You should exchange a contract you already own only if you determine, after comparing the features, fees, and risks of both contracts, that it is better for you to purchase the new contract rather than continue to own your existing contract.			General Information – Distribution of the Contracts

Overview of the Contract

Purpose of the Contract

The Contract is designed to help you invest on a tax-deferred basis, meet long-term financial goals, and plan for your retirement. You can accumulate assets by investing in the Contract’s investment options and then later convert those accumulated assets into a stream of guaranteed income payments from us. The Contract includes a death benefit that may help financially protect your Beneficiary or Beneficiaries in the event of your death.

This Contract may be appropriate for you if you have a long investment time horizon and the Contract’s terms and conditions are consistent with your financial goals. It is not intended for people whose liquidity needs require early or frequent withdrawals or for people who intend to frequently trade in the Contract’s investment options.

The Contract is primarily used in connection with employer-sponsored qualified retirement plans, for which the employer is the Contract owner and participating employees receive certificates related to the Contract, and IRAs. Nonqualified Contracts are also available for certain employer plans as well as for certain after-tax arrangements that are not part of an employer’s plan.

If you are enrolled in an Advisory Program, Advisory Program fees deducted from your Contract may reduce the death benefit and any annuity benefits, and may be subject to surrender charges, federal and state income taxes and a 10% federal penalty tax. See “Advisory Program” and “Federal Tax Matters” in the prospectus.

Phases of the Contract

Like all deferred annuities, the Contract has two phases: (1) a Purchase Period (for savings) and (2) a Payout Period (for income).

Purchase Period. During the Purchase Period, you invest your money under the Contract in one or more available investment options to help you build assets on a tax-deferred basis. The available investment options may include:

•

Variable Account Options. When you invest in a Variable Account Option, you are indirectly investing in the Variable Account Option’s underlying Mutual Fund. The Mutual Funds have different investment objectives, strategies, and risks. You can gain or lose money if you invest in a Variable Account Option.

Additional information about each Mutual Fund is provided in an appendix to this summary prospectus. Please see APPENDIX A – FUNDS AVAILABLE UNDER THE CONTRACT.

•

Fixed Account Options. When you invest in a Fixed Account Option (Fixed Account Plus, Short-Term Fixed Account, Multi-Year Enhanced Option, or a DCA Fixed Account), your principal is guaranteed and earns interest based on a rate set and guaranteed by us. However, if you make an early withdrawal or transfer from a Multi-Year Enhanced Option, the withdrawal or transfer may be subject to a market value adjustment that may reduce the value of your investment.

The amount of money you accumulate during the Purchase Period depends (in part) on the performance of the investment options you choose. You may transfer money between investment options during the Purchase Period, subject to certain restrictions. Your accumulated assets impact the value of your benefits during the Purchase Period, including the death benefit, as well as the amount available for withdrawal.

Payout Period. When you are ready to receive guaranteed income under the Contract, you can switch to the Payout Period, at which time you will start to receive Payout Payments from us. This is also referred to as “annuitizing” the Contract. You generally decide when to annuitize. You can choose from the available payout options, which may provide income for life, for a guaranteed period of time, or a combination of both. You can also choose to receive payments on a variable or fixed basis, or a combination of both. If the Payout Payments are fixed, the dollar amount of each payment will be the same. If the Payout Payments are variable, the dollar amount for the payments will fluctuate.

The death benefit from the Purchase Period does not apply during the Payout Period. Any amount payable upon death during the Payout Period depends on the payout option selected. You cannot take withdrawals of Account Value or surrender the Contract during the Payout Period.

Contract Features

Contract Series. This summary prospectus describes 10 different classes of the Contract which we call series. There are differences among the series with respect to surrender charges, other fees and charges, restrictions, and features. Each series is offered to certain group plans or through certain markets.

Retirement Plan Terms and Conditions. The Contract is primarily designed to be purchased by an employer for use in a retirement plan, however it is also offered as an IRA or a non-qualified contract. Your participation in a group Contract will be subject to the terms and conditions of your retirement plan and applicable law, which may limit your ability to take certain actions under the Contract.

Accessing Your Money. You may withdraw money from the Contract at any time during the Purchase Period. If you make a withdrawal, you may have to pay a surrender charge and/or income taxes, including a tax penalty if you are younger than age 59½. Withdrawals may negatively impact the value of your benefits under the Contract.

Tax Treatment. You can transfer money between investment options without tax implications, and earnings (if any) on your investments are generally tax-deferred. Earnings and untaxed contributions are not taxed until they are distributed, which may occur when making a withdrawal, upon receiving a Payout Payment, or upon payment of the death benefit. You do not receive any additional tax benefit under the Contract if you participate in the Contract through a tax-qualified plan or you purchase the Contract through an IRA.

Death Benefit. If you die during the Purchase Period, we pay a death benefit to your Beneficiary or Beneficiaries. The Contract has two possible death benefits (interest guaranteed death benefit and standard death benefit), both of which are automatically included in the Contract for no additional fee.

Additional Features and Services. Additional features and services under the Contract are summarized below. There are no additional charges associated with these features and services unless otherwise noted. Not all features and services may be available under your Contract.

•

Systematic Withdrawals. This program allows you to automatically receive withdrawals on a regular basis during the Purchase Period.

•

No Charge Systematic Withdrawals. This program allows you to automatically receive withdrawals on a regular basis during the Purchase Period without surrender charges, subject to certain requirements related to the duration and amount of the automatic withdrawals.

•

Loans. Tax-free loans may be taken under tax-qualified Contracts (other than IRAs), providing additional access to your money in the Fixed Account Options (excluding Multi-Year Enhanced Options). You will incur interest on an outstanding loan. Loans are subject to restrictions, including a $1,000 minimum loan amount. You may not be able to take a loan under your Contract. We charge up to $75 for a loan application fee for each loan.

•

Guided Portfolio Services®. GPS is an advisory service offered by VALIC Financial Advisors, Inc. to help manage your Account Value. VALIC Financial Advisors, Inc. is a registered investment adviser and our affiliate. A separate investment advisory fee and agreement is required for this service, if available under an employer’s retirement plan.

•

Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA) Program. The DCA program is a systematic transfer of a specified percentage from the DCA Fixed Account to one or more eligible investment options over a specified period of time. Automatic transfers do not count towards the number of free transfers per contract year.

Buying the Contract

Purchasing the Contract

If you are an employer purchasing a group Contract in connection with a retirement plan, or if you are an individual purchasing an individual Contract, you may purchase a Contract through licensed insurance agents who are registered representatives of broker-dealers. If you are an employee seeking to participate in your employer’s group Contract, you may establish an account through your employer. Your employer will be responsible for furnishing the necessary information (including enrollment information and allocation instructions) and remitting the initial Purchase Payment to us.

When an initial Purchase Payment is accompanied by an application (or enrollment form), we will promptly either:

(a)

Accept the application and establish your account within 2 Business Days;

(b)

Request additional information to correct or complete the application. We will return the Purchase Payment within 5 Business Days if the requested information is not provided, unless you otherwise so specify. Once we have the requested information, we will establish your account effective the date we accept your application; or

(c)

Reject the application and return the initial Purchase Payment.

If we receive an initial Purchase Payment from your employer before we receive your completed application (or enrollment form), we will not be able to establish a permanent account for you. If this occurs, we will either return the Purchase Payment, deposit the Purchase Payment into an employer-directed account, or deposit the Purchase Payment into a starter account.

Purchase Payments

Any contribution that you make into the Contract is a Purchase Payment. The initial Purchase Payment is the money you initially contribute to the Contract when purchasing the Contract or opening an account. For periodic payment Contracts, each contribution thereafter is a Subsequent Purchase Payment. If you are participating in an employer-sponsored retirement plan, your employer is responsible for remitting Purchase Payments to us. Otherwise, you should remit Purchase Payments to us directly or through your financial intermediary.

The maximum single payment that may be applied to any account without our prior approval is $1,000,000.

Minimum initial and Subsequent Purchase Payments are as follows:

Contract Type	Initial Purchase Payment	Subsequent Purchase Payment
Periodic Payment	$30	$30
Single Payment	$1,000	Not Applicable

Periodic payment minimums apply to each periodic payment made. The single payment minimum applies to each account.

Crediting and Allocating Purchase Payments

A Purchase Payment must be in “good order” before it can be posted to your account. “Good order” means that all required information and/or documentation has been supplied and that the funds (check, wire, or ACH) clearly identify for whom the Purchase Payment is to be applied. See “When Your Account Will be Credited” under “Purchase Period” in the prospectus for specific information that we will require for a Purchase Payment to be in good order.

We will credit a Purchase Payment to your account as follows:

•

Initial Purchase Payment. Once we receive the completed application (or enrollment form) and the initial Purchase Payment in good order, we will accept the application and establish your account within 2 Business Days. We will apply your Purchase Payment by crediting that amount to your account, effective the date we accept your application. If you do not give us all of the information we need, we will contact you to get it before we make any allocation. If for some reason we are unable to complete this process within 5 Business Days, we will either send back your money or get your permission to keep it until we get all of the necessary information.

•

Subsequent Purchase Payments. If a subsequent Purchase Payment is received on a Business Day in good order by our bank by Market Close, the appropriate account(s) will be credited on that Business Day. Purchase Payments received in good order after Market Close or on a non-Business Day will be credited the next Business Day.

When we credit a Purchase Payment to your account, we will allocate the Purchase Payment among the Fixed Account Option(s) and/or Variable Account Option(s) based on the allocation instructions applicable to that Purchase Payment.

We may establish an account for you at the direction of your employer if your employer provides such direction on a form acceptable to VALIC and accompanied by certain necessary information. Under such circumstances, we will deposit your Purchase Payment in an “Employer-Directed” account invested in a Money Market Division, or other investment options chosen by your employer. In situations where we have your name, address and SSN, but do not have an agreement with your employer for employer-directed accounts, we will deposit your Purchase Payment in a “starter” account invested in the Money Market Division option available for your plan or other investment options chosen by your employer and request the information necessary to complete the application. If we do not receive the necessary information within 105 days, we may return the Purchase Payment to your employer or convert the account to an “unsolicited” account which would be subject to many of the same restrictions as a starter account.

Making Withdrawals: Accessing the Money in Your Contract

Purchase Period

During the Purchase Period, you may withdraw all or part of your Account Value at any time if allowed by applicable law and your retirement plan. The following table highlights certain important information regarding withdrawals under the Contract.

Surrender Charges and Taxes	Your withdrawal may be subject to surrender charges and taxes, including a 10% federal tax penalty if you are younger than age 59½.
	In any Contract Year, up to 10% of the Account Value may be withdrawn without a surrender charge. The surrender charge will generally apply to any amount withdrawn that exceeds this 10% limit. The percentage withdrawn will be determined by dividing the amount withdrawn by the Account Value just prior to the withdrawal. If more than one withdrawal is made during a Contract Year, each percentage will be added to determine at what point the 10% limit has been reached.
Market Value Adjustments	If you take an early withdrawal from a Multi-Year Enhanced Option, the withdrawal will be subject to a market value adjustment that will result in either an increase or reduction in the value of your investment in the Multi- Year Enhanced Option.
Negative Impact on Contract values	A withdrawal will reduce the value of your Contract and may reduce the value of the death benefit (perhaps significantly).
Internal Revenue Code or Retirement Plan	Depending on the circumstances, the Internal Revenue Code or your retirement plan may restrict your ability to take withdrawals.

When you take a partial withdrawal, you may specify an amount to be taken from each investment option in which you are invested, or that the amount should be withdrawn pro-rata against all of your investment options. If you do not specify, the withdrawal will be taken pro-rata against all of your investment options.

Withdrawing all of the money in your Contract (also known as a full surrender) will terminate your account. If your Account Value falls below $300, and you do not make any Purchase Payments for at least two years, we may terminate your account and pay the Account Value to you.

The surrender value in a Fixed Account Option will never be less than the Purchase Payments allocated to the Fixed Account Option (less amounts transferred to a Variable Account Option or withdrawn from the Fixed Account Option).

Payout Period

Once the Payout Period begins, you will receive Payout Payments from your Contract under the selected payout option. You cannot make withdrawals of your Account Value during the Payout Period.

Requesting a Surrender or Withdrawal

If you would like to access all or a portion of your Account Value during the Purchase Period, you must complete a surrender request form in good order or information required in other approved media. Submit your request to our Home Office at 2929 Allen Parkway, Houston, Texas 77019, or to our Annuity Service Center at VALIC Document Control, P.O. Box 15648, Amarillo, Texas 79105. Good order means that all paperwork is complete and signed or approved by all required persons, and any necessary supporting legal documents or plan forms have been received in correct form.

We will send via EFT or by mail a check with the surrender value to you within seven calendar days after we receive your request if it is in good order. Under certain circumstances, we may be permitted or required by applicable law to delay payment.If you wish to receive automatic withdrawals, you may enroll in a systematic withdrawal program under the Contract, if available.

Additional Information About Fees

The following tables describe the fees and expenses that you will pay when buying, owning, and surrendering or making withdrawals from the Contract. Please refer to your Contract specifications page for information about the specific fees you will pay each year based on the options you have elected. The fees and expenses below do not reflect any advisory fees paid to your Investment Adviser from Contract assets. If such charges were reflected, the fees and expenses would be higher.

The first table describes the fees and expenses that you will pay at the time that you buy the Contract, surrender or make withdrawals from the Contract, or transfer cash value between investment options. State premium taxes may also be deducted.

	0.20%	1.27%

Footnotes to the Fee Tables

(1) The maximum surrender charge is the lesser of 5% of the amount withdrawn or 5% of the Purchase Payments received within the past 60 months. If no Purchase Payments are received within the past 60 months, the surrender charge will be zero. Reductions in and exceptions to the surrender charge are available if certain conditions are met. See “Reduction or Waiver of Account Maintenance, Surrender, or Separate Account Charges” and “Exceptions to Surrender Charge” under “Surrender Charge (Series 1, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, and 10 Contracts Only)” in the prospectus.

(2) For all series, transfers from the Fixed Account Plus option are limited to 20% per Participant Year. See “Transfers Between Investment Options” in the prospectus. Transfers in excess of this limitation will not be permitted except under series 11 Contracts. For series 11 Contracts, transfers in excess of this limitation will be permitted; however, the excess amount transferred will be subject to a charge of 5% on the excess amount transferred. Withdrawals from the Fixed Account Option to another funding entity are considered “transfers” for purposes of this limitation. See “Fees and Charges – Fixed Account Plus Transfer Charge (Series 11 Contracts Only) in the prospectus.

(3) Also referred to as “Separate Account Charges.” Reductions in the Separate Account Charges may be available for plan types meeting certain criteria. See “Reduction or Waiver of Account Maintenance, Surrender, or Separate Account Charges” in the prospectus. The Base Contract Expenses do not reflect any applicable platform expenses that may apply. Platform expenses are reflected in the “Annual Fund Expenses” and “Appendix A” in the prospectus.

(4) The Funds with the lowest total annual fund operating expenses are the Vanguard Long-Term Treasury Fund and the Goldman Sachs VIT Government Money Market Fund.

(5) The Fund with the highest total annual fund operating expenses is the Invesco Balanced-Risk Commodity Strategy Fund.

Examples

These examples are intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Contract with the cost of investing in other variable annuity contracts. These costs include transaction expenses, annual Contract expenses, and annual Fund expenses.

Each example assumes that you invest a single Purchase Payment of $100,000 in the Contract for the time periods indicated and that your investment has a 5% return each year. Neither example includes the effect of premium taxes upon annuitization, or the effect of any advisory fees paid to your Investment Adviser from the Contract. If these fees and charges were reflected, the costs would be higher. Your actual costs may be higher or lower than the examples below.

The first set of examples assumes the most expensive combination of annual Contract expenses and annual Fund expenses. Based on these assumptions, your costs would be:

(1) If you surrender your Contract at the end of the applicable time period:

Series 1 and 9
1 Year	3 Years	5 Years	10 Years
$6,746	$11,443	$16,216	$24,181
Series 3, 4, 5, and 7
1 Year	3 Years	5 Years	10 Years
$6,732	$11,402	$16,145	$24,048
Series 2, 6, 11, and 12
1 Year	3 Years	5 Years	10 Years
$2,100	$6,490	$11,145	$24,048

(2) If you annuitize your Contract or you do not surrender your Contract:

Series 1 and 9
1 Year	3 Years	5 Years	10 Years
$2,115	$6,534	$11,216	$24,181
Series 3, 4, 5, and 7
1 Year	3 Years	5 Years	10 Years
$2,100	$6,490	$11,145	$24,048
Series 2, 6, 11, and 12
1 Year	3 Years	5 Years	10 Years
$2,100	$6,490	$11,145	$24,048
