Fees and Expenses of the Portfolio
This table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, hold and sell shares of the Portfolio. The table and the example below do not reflect the separate account fees charged in the variable annuity or variable life insurance policy (“Variable Contracts”) in which the Portfolio is offered. If separate account fees were shown, the Portfolio’s annual operating expenses would be higher. Please see your Variable Contract prospectus for more details on the separate account fees.

Amounts reflect the total expenses of the Portfolio and the Master Growth-Income Fund (as defined herein). The Total Annual Portfolio Operating Expenses do not correlate to the ratio of expenses appearing in the Financial Highlights table in the most recent shareholder report. The Financial Highlights table reflects only the operating expenses of the Portfolio and does not include the fees of the Master Growth-Income Fund.

SunAmerica Asset Management, LLC (“SunAmerica”) has entered into a contractual agreement with SunAmerica Series Trust (the “Trust”) under which it will waive 0.60% of its advisory fee for such time as the Portfolio is operated as a feeder fund, because during that time it will not be providing the portfolio management portion of the advisory and management services to be provided under its investment advisory and management agreement with the Trust. This fee waiver will continue indefinitely as long as the Portfolio is part of a master-feeder fund structure and cannot be reduced or eliminated without approval of the Board of Trustees of the Trust.
Expense Example
This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Portfolio with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Portfolio for the time periods indicated and then redeem or hold all of your shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Portfolio’s operating expenses remain the same (except that the Example incorporates any applicable fee waiver and/or expense limitation arrangements for only the first year). The Example does not reflect charges imposed by the Variable Contract. If the Variable Contract fees were reflected, the expenses would be higher. See the Variable Contract prospectus for information on such charges. The Example reflects the aggregate expenses of both the Master Growth-Income Fund (as defined below) and the Portfolio and assumes that the contractual waiver of SunAmerica’s advisory fee continues for all periods shown. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions and the Total Annual Portfolio Operating Expenses After Fee Waivers and/or Expense Reimbursements shown in the fee table, your costs would be:

Portfolio Turnover
The Portfolio pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs. These costs, which are not reflected in annual portfolio operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Portfolio’s performance.
During the most recent fiscal year, the Portfolio’s portfolio turnover rate was 4% of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal Investment Strategies of the Portfolio
The Portfolio described in this Prospectus operates as a “feeder fund” and attempts to achieve its investment goal by investing all or substantially all of its assets in Class 1 shares of the American Funds Insurance Series® Growth-Income Fund (the “Master Growth-Income Fund”), a portfolio offered by American Funds Insurance Series®, a registered open-end investment company. In turn, the Master Growth-Income Fund seeks to make investors’ investments grow and provide them with income over time by investing primarily in common stocks or other securities that demonstrate the potential for appreciation and/or dividends. It may invest up to 15% of its assets the United States. The Master Growth-Income Fund is designed for investors seeking both capital appreciation and income.
Capital Research and Management Company (“Capital Research”), the investment adviser of the Master Growth-Income Fund, may consider environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) factors that, depending on the facts and circumstances, are material to the value of an issuer or instrument. ESG factors may include, but are not limited to, environmental issues (e.g., water use, emission levels, waste, environmental remediation), social issues (e.g., human capital, health and safety, changing customer behavior) or governance issues (e.g., board composition, executive compensation, shareholder dilution).
Investment of the Portfolio’s assets in the Master Growth-Income Fund is not a fundamental policy of the Portfolio and a shareholder vote is not required for the Portfolio to withdraw its entire investment in the Master Growth-Income Fund.
Principal Risks of Investing in the Portfolio
As with any mutual fund, there can be no assurance that the Portfolio’s investment goal will be met or that the net return on an investment in the Portfolio will exceed what could have been obtained through other investment or savings vehicles. Shares of the Portfolio are not bank deposits and are not guaranteed or insured by any bank,
government entity or the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. If the value of the assets of the Portfolio goes down, you could lose money.
The following is a summary of the principal risks of investing in the Portfolio.
Equity Securities Risk. The Portfolio invests primarily (through its investment in the Master Growth-Income Fund) in equity securities. As with any equity fund, the value of your investment in the Portfolio may fluctuate in response to stock market movements. You should be aware that the performance of various types of equity stocks may rise or decline under varying market conditions — for example, “value” stocks may perform well in circumstances under which “growth” stocks in general have fallen, or vice versa. In addition, individual stocks selected for the Master Growth-Income Fund may underperform the market generally, relevant indices or other funds with comparable investment objectives or strategies.
Risks of Investing in Growth Stocks. Growth stocks are historically volatile, which will affect the Master Growth-Income Fund and the Portfolio. Growth stocks can be volatile for several reasons. Since the issuers of growth stocks usually reinvest a high portion of earnings in their own business, growth stocks may lack the dividend yield associated with value stocks that can cushion total return in a bear market. Also, growth stocks normally carry a higher price/earnings ratio than many other stocks. Consequently, if earnings expectations are not met, the market price of growth stocks will often decline more than other stocks. However, the market frequently rewards growth stocks with price increases when expectations are met or exceeded.
Risk of Income-Oriented Stocks. Changes in dividend policies or the availability of capital resources may reduce the income from companies in which the Master Growth-Income Fund invests.
Foreign Exposure Risk. The Master Growth-Income Fund may invest in foreign securities. Investors in foreign countries are subject to a number of risks. A principal risk is that fluctuations in the exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and foreign currencies may negatively affect an investment. In addition, there may be less publicly available information about a foreign company and it may not be subject to the same uniform accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards as U.S. companies. Foreign governments may not regulate securities markets and companies to the same degree as in the U.S. In addition, the value of investments outside the United States may be reduced by foreign taxes, including foreign withholding taxes on interest and dividends.

Foreign investments will also be affected by local political, social or economic developments and governmental actions. Consequently, foreign securities may be less liquid, more volatile and more difficult to price than U.S. securities. These risks may be heightened to the extent the Master Growth-Income Fund invests in emerging markets.
ESG Investment Risk. The Master Growth-Income Fund’s adherence to its ESG criteria and application of related analyses when selecting investments may impact the Master Growth-Income Fund’s performance, including relative to similar funds that do not adhere to such criteria or apply such analyses. Additionally, the Master Growth-Income Fund’s adherence to its ESG criteria and application of related analyses in connection with identifying and selecting investments may require subjective analysis and may be more difficult if data about a particular company or market is limited, such as with respect to issuers in emerging markets countries. The Master Growth-Income Fund may invest in companies that do not reflect the beliefs and values of any particular investor. Socially responsible norms differ by country and region, and a company’s ESG practices or the subadviser’s assessment of such may change over time.
Market Risk. The Portfolio’s or the Master Growth-Income Fund’s share price or the market as a whole can decline for many reasons or be adversely affected by a number of factors, including, without limitation: weakness in the broad market, a particular industry, or specific holdings; adverse political, regulatory or economic developments in the United States or abroad; changes in investor psychology; heavy institutional selling; military confrontations, war, terrorism, and other armed conflicts; disease/virus outbreaks and epidemics; recessions; taxation and international tax treaties; currency, interest rate and price fluctuations; and other conditions or events. The prospects for an industry or issuer may deteriorate because of a variety of factors, including disappointing earnings or changes in the competitive environment. In addition, the Master Growth-Income Fund’s investment adviser’s assessment of issuers held in the Master Growth-Income Fund may prove incorrect, resulting in losses or poor performance even in a rising market. Finally, the Master Growth-Income Fund’s investment approach could fall out of favor with the investing public, resulting in lagging performance versus other comparable portfolios.
Master-Feeder Structure Risk. Other “feeder” funds may also invest in the Master Growth-Income Fund. As shareholders of the Master Growth-Income Fund, feeder funds, including the Portfolio, vote on matters pertaining to the Master Growth-Income Fund. Feeder funds with a greater pro rata ownership in the Master Growth-Income Fund could have effective voting control of the operations of the Master Growth-Income Fund. Also, a large-scale redemption by another feeder fund may increase the proportionate share of the costs of the Master Growth-Income Fund borne by the remaining feeder fund shareholders, including the Portfolio.
You should also refer to the Master Growth-Income Fund’s prospectus and the statements of additional information for your Portfolio and the Master Growth-Income Fund, which are available free of charge upon request.
Performance Information
The following bar chart illustrates the risks of investing in the Portfolio by showing changes in the Portfolio’s performance from calendar year to calendar year and the table compares the Portfolio’s average annual returns to those of the S&P 500® Index (a broad-based securities market index), which is relevant to the Portfolio because it has characteristics similar to the Portfolio’s investment strategies. Fees and expenses incurred at the Variable Contract level are not reflected in the bar chart or table. If these amounts were reflected, returns would be less than those shown.Of course, past performance is not necessarily an indication of how the Portfolio will perform in the future.

Purchases and Sales of Portfolio Shares
Shares of the Portfolios may only be purchased or redeemed through Variable Contracts offered by the
separate accounts of participating life insurance companies. Shares of a Portfolio may be purchased and redeemed each day the New York Stock Exchange is open, at the Portfolio’s net asset value determined after receipt of a request in good order.
The Portfolios do not have any initial or subsequent investment minimums. However, your insurance company may impose investment or account minimums. Please consult the prospectus (or other offering document) for your Variable Contract which may contain additional information about purchases and redemptions of Portfolio shares.
Tax Information
The Portfolios will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax so long as they qualify as regulated investment companies and distribute their income and gains each year to their shareholders. However, contractholders may be subject to U.S. federal income tax (and a U.S. federal Medicare tax of 3.8% that applies to net investment income, including taxable annuity payments, if applicable) upon withdrawal from a Variable Contract. Contractholders should consult the prospectus (or other offering document) for the Variable Contract for additional information regarding taxation.
Payments to Broker-Dealers and
Other Financial Intermediaries
The Portfolios are not sold directly to the general public but instead are offered as an underlying investment option for Variable Contracts. A Portfolio and its related companies may make payments to the sponsoring insurance company (or its affiliates) for distribution and/or other services. These payments may create a conflict of interest as they may be a factor that the insurance company considers in including a Portfolio as an underlying investment option in the Variable Contract. The prospectus (or other offering document) for your Variable Contract may contain additional information about these payments.
