SA International Index Portfolio Investment Risks - SA International Index Portfolio
Dec. 31, 2025
Equity Securities Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] Equity Securities Risk. The Portfolio invests principally 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.
Foreign Investment Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] Foreign Investment Risk. The Portfolio’s investments in securities of foreign issuers or issuers with significant exposure to foreign markets involve additional risk. Foreign countries in which the Portfolio may invest may have markets that are less liquid, less regulated and more volatile than U.S. markets. The value of the 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.
Foreign Currency Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] Foreign Currency Risk. The value of the 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 the Portfolio’s non-U.S. dollar-denominated securities.
Large Cap Companies Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] Large-Cap Companies Risk. 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.
Medium Sized Companies Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] Medium Sized Companies Risk. Securities of medium sized companies are usually more volatile and entail greater risks than securities of large companies.
Country Focus Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] Country Focus Risk. To the extent the Portfolio invests a significant portion of its assets in one or only a few countries at a time, the Portfolio will face a greater risk of loss due to factors affecting that single or those few countries than if the Portfolio always maintained wide diversity among the countries in which it invests. Based on the current composition of the Index, the Portfolio intends to invest a significant portion of its assets in securities of Japanese issuers and other investments that are tied economically to Japan.
Japan Exposure Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] Japan Exposure Risk. The Japanese economy faces a number of long-term problems, including massive government debt, the aging and shrinking of the population, an unstable financial sector and low domestic consumption. The growth of Japan’s economy has recently lagged behind that of its Asian neighbors and other major developed economies. The Japanese economy is heavily dependent on international trade and may be adversely affected by trade tariffs, other protectionist measures, dependence on exports and international trade, increasing competition from Asia’s other low-cost emerging economies, political and social instability, regional and global conflicts and natural disasters, as well as by commodity markets fluctuations related to Japan’s limited natural resource supply.
Failure to Match Index Performance Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] Failure to Match Index Performance Risk. The ability of the Portfolio to match the performance of the Index may be affected by, among other things, changes in securities markets, the manner in which performance of the Index is calculated, changes in the composition of the Index, the amount and timing of cash flows into and out of the Portfolio, commissions, portfolio expenses, and any differences in the pricing of securities by the Portfolio and the Index. When the Portfolio employs an “optimization” strategy, the Portfolio is subject to an increased risk of tracking error, in that the securities selected in the aggregate for the Portfolio may perform differently than the underlying index.
Passively Managed Strategy Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] “Passively Managed” Strategy Risk. The Portfolio will not deviate from its strategy, except to the extent necessary to comply with federal tax laws. If the Portfolio’s strategy is unsuccessful, the Portfolio will not meet its investment goal. Because the Portfolio will not use certain techniques available to other mutual funds to reduce stock market exposure, the Portfolio may be more susceptible to general market declines than other funds.
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.
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; military confrontations, war, terrorism and other armed conflicts, trade wars and sanctions, disease/virus outbreaks and epidemics; recessions; taxation and international tax treaties; currency, interest rate and price fluctuations; and other conditions or events.
Derivatives Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] Derivatives Risk. A derivative is any financial instrument whose value is based on, and determined by, another security, index, rate, currency or benchmark (i.e., stock options, futures, caps, floors, etc.). To the extent a derivative contract is used to hedge another position in the Portfolio, the Portfolio will be exposed to the risks associated with hedging described below. To the extent an option, futures contract, swap, or other derivative is used to enhance return, rather than as a hedge, the Portfolio will be directly exposed to the risks of the contract. Unfavorable changes in the value of the underlying security, index, rate or benchmark may cause sudden losses. Gains or losses from the Portfolio’s use of derivatives may be substantially greater than the amount of the Portfolio’s investment. Certain derivatives have the potential for undefined loss. Derivatives are also associated with various other risks, including market risk, leverage risk, hedging risk, counterparty risk, valuation risk, regulatory risk, illiquidity risk and interest rate fluctuations risk. The primary risks associated with the Portfolio’s use of derivatives are market risk, counterparty risk and hedging risk.
Affiliated Fund Rebalancing Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] 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.
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.
