SA JPMorgan Diversified Balanced Portfolio Investment Risks - SA JPMorgan Diversified Balanced 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.
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.
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.
Preferred Stock Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] Preferred Stock Risk. Preferred stockholders’ liquidation rights are subordinate to the company’s debt holders and creditors. If interest rates rise, the fixed dividend on preferred stocks may be less attractive and the price of preferred stocks may decline. Deferred dividend payments by an issuer of preferred stock could have adverse tax consequences for the Portfolio and may cause the preferred stock to lose substantial value.
Bonds Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] Bonds Risk. The value of your investment in the Portfolio may 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.
Junk Bonds Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] Junk Bonds Risk. The Portfolio may invest significantly in junk bonds, which are considered speculative. Junk bonds carry a substantial risk of default or changes in the issuer’s creditworthiness, or they may already be in default at the time of purchase.
Short Sales Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] Short Sales Risk. Short sales by the Portfolio involve certain risks and special considerations. Possible losses from short sales differ from losses that could be incurred from a purchase of a security, because losses from short sales are potentially unlimited, whereas losses from purchases can be no greater than the total amount invested.
Small and Mid Cap Companies Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] Small- and Mid-Cap Companies Risk. Companies with smaller market capitalizations (particularly under $1 billion depending on the market) tend to be at early stages of development with limited product lines, operating histories, market access for products, financial resources, access to new capital, or depth in management. It may be difficult to obtain reliable information and financial data about these companies. Consequently, the securities of smaller companies may not be as readily marketable and may be subject to more abrupt or erratic market movements than companies with larger capitalizations. Securities of medium-sized companies are also subject to these risks to a lesser extent.
US Government Obligations Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] U.S. Government Obligations Risk. U.S. Treasury obligations are backed by the “full faith and credit” of the U.S. Government and generally have negligible credit risk. Securities issued or guaranteed by federal agencies or authorities and U.S. Government-sponsored instrumentalities or enterprises may or may not be backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government.
Mortgage and Asset Backed Securities Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] Mortgage- and Asset-Backed Securities Risk. The characteristics of mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities differ from traditional fixed income securities. Mortgage-backed securities are subject to “prepayment risk” and “extension risk.” Prepayment risk is the risk that, when interest rates fall, certain types of obligations will be paid off by the obligor more quickly than originally anticipated and the Portfolio may have to invest the proceeds in securities with lower yields. Extension risk is the risk that, when interest rates rise, certain obligations will be paid off by the obligor more slowly than anticipated, causing the value of these securities to fall. Small movements in interest rates (both increases and decreases) may quickly and significantly reduce the value of certain mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities. Mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities are also subject to credit risk.
Credit Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] Credit Risk. Credit risk applies to most debt securities, but is generally not a factor for obligations backed by the “full faith and credit” of the U.S. Government. The Portfolio could lose money if the issuer of a debt security is unable or perceived to be unable to pay interest or to repay principal when it becomes due.

An issuer with a lower credit rating will be more likely than a higher rated issuer to default or otherwise become unable to honor its financial obligations. Issuers with low credit ratings typically issue junk bonds. In addition to the risk of default, junk bonds may be more volatile, less liquid, more difficult to value and more susceptible to adverse economic conditions or investor perceptions than other bonds.
Convertible Securities Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] Convertible Securities Risk. Convertible security values may be affected by market interest rates, issuer defaults, the creditworthiness of the issuer, and underlying common stock values; security values may fall if market interest rates rise and rise if market interest rates fall. Convertible preferred stock and other hybrid instruments may also be subject to the risk of dividend suspension or reduction, and may be subordinated to the issuer’s debt obligations. Certain convertible securities may be subject to mandatory or contingent conversion provisions, which could result in conversion at a time or price unfavorable to the Portfolio. Additionally, an issuer may have the right to buy back or redeem the securities at a time unfavorable to the Portfolio.
Foreign Investment Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] Foreign Investment Risk. The Portfolio’s investments in the securities of foreign issuers or issuers with significant exposure to foreign markets involve additional risk. Foreign countries in which the Portfolio invests 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.
Interest Rate Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] Interest Rate Risk. Fixed income securities may be subject to volatility due to changes in interest rates. The value of fixed-income securities may decline when interest rates go up or increase when interest rates go down. The interest earned on fixed-income securities may decline when interest rates go down or increase when interest rates go up. 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. For example, a bond with a duration of three years will decrease in value by approximately 3% if interest rates increase by 1%. Changing interest rates may have unpredictable effects on markets, may result in heightened market volatility, and could negatively impact the Portfolio’s performance. Any future changes in monetary policy made by central banks and/or their governments are likely to affect the level of interest rates.
Active Trading Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] Active Trading Risk. The Portfolio may engage in frequent trading of securities to achieve its investment goal. Active trading may result in high portfolio turnover and correspondingly greater brokerage commissions and other transaction costs, which will be borne directly by the Portfolio and could affect its performance. During periods of increased market volatility, active trading may be more pronounced.
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. 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.
Investment Company Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] Investment Company Risk. The risks of the Portfolio owning other investment companies, including ETFs, generally reflect the risks of owning the underlying securities they are designed to track. Disruptions in the markets for the securities underlying the other investment companies purchased or sold by the Portfolio could result in losses on the Portfolio’s investment in such securities. Other investment companies also have management fees that increase their costs versus owning the underlying securities directly.
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.
Counterparty Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] Counterparty Risk. Counterparty risk is the risk that a counterparty to a security, loan or derivative held by the  Portfolio becomes bankrupt or otherwise fails to perform its obligations due to financial difficulties. The Portfolio may experience significant delays in obtaining any recovery in a bankruptcy or other reorganization proceeding, and there may be no recovery or limited recovery in such circumstances.
Hedging Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] Hedging Risk. While hedging strategies can be very useful and inexpensive ways of reducing risk, they are sometimes ineffective due to unexpected changes in the market. Hedging also involves the risk that changes in the value of the related security will not match those of the instruments being hedged as expected, in which case any losses on the instruments being hedged may not be reduced. For gross currency hedges, there is an additional risk, to the extent that these transactions create exposure to currencies in which the Portfolio’s securities are not denominated.
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.
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 Asset Management, LLC (“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.
Quantitative Investing Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] Quantitative Investing Risk. The value of securities selected using quantitative analysis can react differently to issuer, political, market, and economic developments from the market as a whole or securities selected using only fundamental analysis. The factors used in quantitative analysis and the weight placed on those factors may not be predictive of a security’s value. In addition, factors that affect a security’s value can change over time and these changes may not be reflected in the quantitative model.
Settlement Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] Settlement Risk. Investments purchased on an extended-settlement basis, such as when-issued, forward commitment or delayed-delivery transactions, involve a risk of loss if the value of the security to be purchased declines before the settlement date. Conversely, the sale of securities on an extended-settlement basis involves the risk that the value of the securities sold may increase before the settlement date.
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.
