SA Allocation Aggressive Portfolio Investment Risks - SA Allocation Aggressive Portfolio
Mar. 31, 2025
Asset Allocation Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] Asset Allocation Risk. The Portfolio’s risks will directly correspond to the risks of the Underlying Portfolios in which it invests. The Portfolio is subject to the risk that the selection of the Underlying Portfolios and the allocation and reallocation of the Portfolio’s assets among the various asset classes and market sectors may not produce the desired result.
Equity Securities Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] Equity Securities Risk. The Portfolio primarily invests in Underlying Portfolios that invest in equity securities and is therefore subject to the risk that stock prices will fall and may underperform other asset classes. Individual stock prices fluctuate from day-to-day and may decline significantly.
Large Cap Companies Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] Large-Cap Companies Risk. The Portfolio invests in Underlying Portfolios that invest in large-cap companies. Large-cap companies tend to be less volatile than companies with smaller market capitalizations. In exchange for this potentially lower risk, the Portfolio’s value may not rise as much as the value of portfolios that emphasize smaller companies. Larger, more established companies may be unable to respond 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.
Small and Mid Cap Companies Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] Small- and Mid-Cap Companies Risk. The Portfolio invests in Underlying Portfolios that may invest in securities of small- and mid-cap companies. Securities of small- and mid-cap companies are usually more volatile and entail greater risks than securities of large-cap companies.
Foreign Investment Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] Foreign Investment Risk. The Portfolio’s investments in Underlying Portfolios that invest in the securities of foreign issuers or issuers with significant exposure to foreign markets involve additional risk. Foreign countries in which an Underlying Portfolio invests may have markets that are less liquid, less regulated and more volatile than U.S. markets. The value of an Underlying Portfolio’s investments may decline because of factors affecting the particular issuer as well as foreign markets and issuers generally, such as unfavorable government actions, and political or financial instability and other conditions or events (including, for example, military confrontations, war, terrorism, sanctions, disease/virus, outbreaks and epidemics). Lack of relevant data and reliable public information may also affect the value of these securities. The risks of foreign investments are heightened when investing in issuers in emerging market countries.
Emerging Markets Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] Emerging Markets Risk. Risks associated with investments in emerging markets may include: delays in settling portfolio securities transactions; currency and capital controls; greater sensitivity to interest rate changes; pervasive corruption and crime; exchange rate volatility; inflation, deflation or currency devaluation; violent military or political conflicts; confiscations and other government restrictions by the United States or other governments; and government instability. As a result, investments in emerging market securities tend to be more volatile than investments in developed countries.
Foreign Currency Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] Foreign Currency Risk. The value of an Underlying Portfolio’s foreign investments may fluctuate due to changes in currency exchange rates. A decline in the value of foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar generally can be expected to depress the value of an Underlying Portfolio’s non-U.S. dollar-denominated securities.
Growth Stock Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] Growth Stock Risk. The Portfolio invests in Underlying Portfolios with an investment strategy that focuses on selecting growth-style stocks. 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.
Value Investing Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] Value Investing Risk. The Portfolio invests in Underlying Portfolios with an investment strategy that focuses on selecting value-style stocks. When investing in securities which are believed to be undervalued in the market, there is a risk that the market may not recognize a security’s intrinsic value for a long period of time, or that a stock judged to be undervalued may actually be appropriately priced.
Bonds Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] Bonds Risk. The Portfolio invests in Underlying Portfolios that invest in bonds, which may cause the value of your investment in the Portfolio to go up or down in response to changes in interest rates or defaults (or even the potential for future defaults) by bond issuers. Fixed income securities may be subject to volatility due to changes in interest rates.
Interest Rate Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] Interest Rate Risk. The Portfolio invests in Underlying Portfolios that invest in fixed income securities. Fixed income securities may be subject to volatility due to changes in interest rates. Duration is a measure of interest rate risk that indicates how price-sensitive a bond is to changes in interest rates. Longer-term and lower coupon bonds tend to be more sensitive to changes in interest rates. Any future changes in monetary policy made by central banks and/or their governments are likely to affect the level of interest rates.
Junk Bonds Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] Junk Bonds Risk. The Portfolio invests in Underlying Portfolios that invest in fixed income securities, a percentage of which may be invested in high yield, high risk bonds commonly known as “junk bonds.” Junk bonds are generally subject to greater credit risks than higher-grade bonds. Junk bonds are considered speculative, tend to be less liquid and are more difficult to value than higher-grade securities. Junk bonds tend to be volatile and more susceptible to adverse events and negative sentiments and may be difficult to sell at a desired price, or at all, during periods of uncertainty or market turmoil.
Credit Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] Credit Risk. Credit risk applies to most fixed income securities, but is generally not a factor for obligations backed by the “full faith and credit” of the U.S. Government. An Underlying Portfolio could lose money if the issuer of a fixed income security is unable or perceived to be unable to pay interest or to repay principal when it becomes due.
Index Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] Index Risk. Many of the Underlying Portfolios in which the Portfolio invests have a passively-managed portion that is managed to track the performance of an index. That portion of the Underlying Portfolios will not sell securities in its portfolio or buy different securities over the course of a year other than in conjunction with changes in its target index, even if there are adverse developments concerning a particular security, company or industry. As a result, the Portfolio may suffer losses that might not be experienced with an investment in an actively-managed mutual fund.
Sector Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] Sector Risk. Companies with similar characteristics may be grouped together in broad categories called sectors. Sector risk is the possibility that a certain sector may underperform other sectors or the market as a whole. As the Portfolio allocates more of its portfolio holdings to a particular sector, the Portfolio’s performance will be more susceptible to any economic, business or other developments which generally affect that sector.
Information Technology Sector Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] Information Technology Sector Risk. There are numerous risks and uncertainties involved in investing in the information technology sector. Historically, the prices of securities in this sector have tended to be volatile. If the Portfolio invests primarily in information technology-related issuers, it bears an additional risk that economic events may affect a substantial portion of the Portfolio’s investments. In addition, at times equity securities of technology-related issuers may underperform relative to other sectors. The information technology sector includes companies from various industries, including internet, computer hardware, software, semiconductors, telecommunications, electronics, aerospace and defense, health care equipment and biotechnology, among others.
Affiliated Portfolio Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] Affiliated Portfolio Risk. SunAmerica chooses the Underlying Portfolios in which the Portfolio invests. As a result, SunAmerica may be subject to potential conflicts of interest in selecting the Underlying Portfolios because the fees payable to it by some of the Underlying Portfolios are higher than the fees payable by other Underlying Portfolios. However, SunAmerica has a fiduciary duty to act in the Portfolio’s best interests when selecting the Underlying Portfolios.
Fund of Funds Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] Fund-of-Funds Risk. The costs of investing in the Portfolio, as a fund-of-funds, may be higher than the costs of investing in a mutual fund that invests most or all of its assets directly in individual securities. An Underlying Portfolio may change its investment objective or policies without the Portfolio’s approval, which could force the Portfolio to withdraw its investment from such Underlying Portfolio at a time that is unfavorable to the Portfolio. In addition, one Underlying Portfolio may buy the same securities that another Underlying Portfolio sells. Therefore, the Portfolio would indirectly bear the costs of these trades without accomplishing any investment purpose.
Underlying Portfolios Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] Underlying Portfolios Risk. The risks of the Portfolio owning the Underlying Portfolios generally reflect the risks of owning the underlying securities held by the Underlying Portfolios. Disruptions in the markets for the securities held by the Underlying Portfolios could result in losses on the Portfolio’s investment in such securities. The Underlying Portfolios also have fees that increase their costs versus owning the underlying securities directly.
Management Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] 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.
Market Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] 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 social, political, regulatory or economic developments in the United States or abroad; changes in investor psychology; technological disruptions; heavy institutional selling; sanctions, military confrontations, war, terrorism and other armed conflicts; trade wars and similar 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, an Underlying Portfolio’s adviser’s or subadviser’s assessment of securities held by the Underlying Portfolio may prove incorrect, resulting in losses or poor performance even in a rising market.
Issuer Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] 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.
Risk Lose Money [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] If the value of the assets of the Portfolio goes down, you could lose money.
Risk Not Insured Depository Institution [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] 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.
