quickly to new competitive
challenges, such as changes in technology and consumer tastes. Larger companies also may not be able to attain the high growth rate of successful smaller companies, particularly
during extended periods of economic expansion.
Mid-Cap Companies Risk. Securities of mid-cap companies are usually more volatile and entail greater risks than securities of large companies.
Value Investing Risk. The subadviser’s judgment that a particular security is undervalued in relation to the company’s fundamental economic value may prove incorrect.
Growth Stock Risk. 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.
Sector or Industry Focus Risk. To the extent the Portfolio invests a significant portion of its assets in one or more sectors or industries at a time, the Portfolio will face a greater risk of loss due to
factors affecting sectors or industries than if the Portfolio always maintained wide diversity among the sectors and industries in which it invests.
Issuer Risk. The value of a security may decline for a number of reasons directly related to the issuer, such as management performance, financial leverage and reduced demand for the issuer’s goods and
services.
Market Risk. The Portfolio’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. In addition, the subadviser’s assessment of securities held in the Portfolio may prove incorrect, resulting in losses or
poor performance even in a rising market.
Management Risk. The Portfolio is subject to management risk because it is an actively-managed investment portfolio. The Portfolio’s
portfolio managers apply investment techniques and risk analyses in making
investment decisions, but there
can be no guarantee that these decisions or the individual securities selected by the portfolio
managers will produce the desired results.
Affiliated Fund Rebalancing Risk. The Portfolio may be
an investment option for other mutual funds for which SunAmerica serves as
investment adviser that are managed as “funds of funds.” From time to time, the Portfolio may experience relatively large redemptions or investments due to the rebalancing of
a fund of funds. In the event of such redemptions or investments, the Portfolio
could be required to sell securities or to invest cash at a time when it is not advantageous to do so.
ESG Investment Risk. The Portfolio’s adherence to its ESG criteria and application of related analyses when selecting investments may impact the
Portfolio’s performance, including relative to similar funds that do not
adhere to such criteria or apply such analyses. Additionally, the
Portfolio’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 Portfolio 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. ESG characteristics may
not be the only factors considered in selecting investments and as a result, the
Portfolio’s investments may not have favorable ESG characteristics or high ESG ratings.
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. The
Portfolio’s returns prior to July 5, 2023, as reflected in the bar chart and table, are the returns of the Portfolio when it followed different investment strategies under the name “SA Invesco
Main Street Large Cap Portfolio.” Fees and expenses incurred at the 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.
