Market
Risk. The share price of the Underlying Funds and, as a result, the share price of the Fund can
fall because of weakness in the broad market, a particular industry, or specific
holdings or due to adverse social, political or economic developments here or abroad, changes in investor psychology, technological disruptions, or heavy institutional selling and
other conditions or events (including, for example, military confrontations, war,
terrorism, trade wars, disease/virus outbreaks and epidemics). The prices of
individual securities may fluctuate, sometimes dramatically, from day to day. The
prices of stocks and other equity securities tend to be more volatile than those of fixed-income
securities.
Asset Allocation Risk. The Fund’s risks will directly correspond to the risks of the Underlying Funds in which it invests. The Fund is subject to the risk that the selection of the Underlying Funds and the
allocation and reallocation of the Fund’s assets among the various asset
classes and market sectors may not produce the desired result.
Mid-Cap Company Risk. The Underlying Funds may invest in mid-cap companies. Investing primarily in mid-cap companies carries the risk that due to current market conditions these companies may be out
of favor with investors. Stocks of mid-cap companies may be more volatile than
those of larger companies due to, among other reasons, narrower product lines, more limited
financial resources and fewer experienced managers.
Small-Cap Company Risk. The Underlying Funds may invest in small-cap companies. Investing in small-cap companies carries the risk that due to current market conditions these companies may be out of
favor with investors. Small companies often are in the early stages of
development with limited product lines, markets, or financial resources and managements lacking depth and experience, which may cause their stock prices to be more volatile than those of larger
companies. Small company stocks may be less liquid yet subject to abrupt or erratic
price movements. It may take a substantial period of time before an Underlying
Fund realizes a gain on an investment in a small-cap company, if it realizes any gain at
all.
Underlying Fund Securities
Lending Risk. Certain Underlying Funds may lend portfolio securities to generate additional income. Engaging in securities lending could increase the market and
credit risk for an Underlying Fund’s investments. An Underlying Fund may
lose money if it does not recover borrowed securities, the value of the
collateral falls, or the value of investments made with cash collateral declines. An Underlying Fund’s
loans will be collateralized by
securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or its agencies and
instrumentalities, which subjects such Underlying Fund to the credit risk of the
U.S. Government or the issuing federal agency or instrumentality. If the value of either the cash collateral or an Underlying Fund’s investments of the cash collateral falls below
the amount owed to a borrower, the Underlying Fund also may incur losses that exceed the amount it earned on lending the security. Securities lending also involves the risks of delay
in receiving additional collateral or possible loss of rights in the collateral
if the borrower fails. Another risk of securities lending is the risk that the loaned portfolio securities may not be available to an Underlying Fund on a timely basis and the Underlying Fund may therefore
lose the opportunity to sell the securities at a desirable price. If an
Underlying Fund in which the Fund invests incurs losses as a result of its
securities lending activities, the value of the Underlying Fund may decrease, which will have an
adverse effect on the Fund.
As a result of a reorganization which occurred on May 24,
2021 (the “Reorganization”), the Fund acquired all of the assets and
liabilities of the Moderate Growth Lifestyle Fund (the “Predecessor Fund”), a series of VALIC Company II. The Fund adopted the performance of the Predecessor Fund and returns presented for
the Fund prior to that date reflect the performance of the Predecessor Fund. The
Fund had not yet commenced operations prior to the Reorganization. The performance
information below is based on the performance of the Predecessor Fund for periods
prior to the date of the Reorganization. The Fund and the Predecessor Fund had
substantially similar investment objectives and strategies and had the same
portfolio management team as of the date of the Reorganization.
The below bar chart and table illustrate the risks of
investing in the Fund by showing changes in the Fund’s performance from
calendar year to calendar year and comparing the Fund’s average annual returns to those of the S&P 500® Index (a broad-based securities market index) and a blended index. The blended index is comprised of 41% Russell 3000® Index, 14% MSCI EAFE Index (net) and 45% Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (the “Mod Alloc Lifestyle Blended Index”). The Mod Alloc Lifestyle
Blended Index is relevant to the Fund because it has characteristics similar to the Fund’s investment strategies. 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
