SUNAMERICA SERIES TRUST

SHAREHOLDER LETTER


 

Dear SunAmerica Series Trust Investor,

 

We are pleased to present our annual report for the SunAmerica Series Trust, the underlying investment portfolios for the series of variable products issued by our Life Companies.

 

The following report contains the investment portfolio information and the financial statements of the SunAmerica Series Trust portfolios for the reporting period ended December 31, 2023. The report may also contain information on portfolios not currently available in your variable contract.

 

We believe this information will give you some insight into the performance of your underlying investments. If you have any questions, please contact your investment representative, or you may contact us directly at 1-800-445-7862.

 

Thank you for the confidence you place in us with your financial future, and we look forward to reporting to you once again in six months.

 

Sincerely,

 

LOGO

 

John T. Genoy

President

SunAmerica Series Trust

 

Note: All performance figures quoted are for the SunAmerica Series Trust. They do not reflect fees and charges associated with the variable annuity. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Annuities are long-term investment vehicles designed for retirement purposes. Early withdrawal may be subject to withdrawal charges and if taken prior to age 59 1/2, a 10% federal tax penalty may apply. An investment in a variable annuity involves investment risk, including possible loss of principal. The contract, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the total amount invested.

 

Investments in stocks and bonds are subject to risks, including stock market and interest rate fluctuations. Investment prices can fall 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 here 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. Investments in growth stocks as well as small and mid-cap company stocks may be subject to volatile price swings and therefore present a greater potential for loss than other investments. Investments in non-U.S. stocks and bonds are subject to additional risks such as fluctuations in foreign currencies, political and economic instability, differences in securities regulation and accounting standards, foreign tax laws, and limited availability of public information. Income seeking investment strategies may not be realized due to changes in dividend policies or the availability of capital resources.

 

Investments that concentrate on one economic sector or geographic region are generally subject to greater volatility than more diverse investments. Investments in real estate investment trusts (REITs) involve risks such as refinancing, economic conditions in the real estate industry, changes in property values, dependency on real estate management, and other risks associated with a concentration in one sector or geographic region. Investments in securities related to gold and other precious metals and minerals are speculative and impacted by a host of worldwide economic, financial and political factors.

 

Investments in debt securities are subject to credit risk (i.e., the risk that an issuer might not pay interest when due or repay principal at maturity of the obligation). Investments in lower-rated bonds and “junk bonds” are considered speculative due to the heightened risk of default and are subject to unpredictable losses as a result of changes in the issuer’s creditworthiness.

 

Investments in derivatives are subject to heightened risk; gains or losses from non-hedging positions may be substantially greater than the cost of the position. Active trading may result in high portfolio turnover and correspondingly greater transaction costs for the portfolio and underlying portfolios.

 

There can be no assurance that the Portfolios will meet their investment objectives. A full description of the investment goals, principal strategies, and risks for each Portfolio are provided in the prospectus.

 

Investments are not guaranteed or endorsed by any bank, are not a deposit or obligation of any bank, and are not federally insured by Federal Deposit Corporation (FDIC), the Federal Reserve Board or any other federal government agency.

 

* Not FDIC or NCUA/NCUSIF Insured

* May Lose Value * No Bank or Credit Union Guarantee

* Not a Deposit * Not insured by any Federal Government Agency

EXPENSE EXAMPLE — December 31, 2023 (unaudited)


 

Disclosure of Portfolio Expenses in Shareholder Reports

 

As a shareholder of a separate series (a “Portfolio”) in the SunAmerica Series Trust (the “Trust”), you incur ongoing costs, including management fees and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Portfolio expenses. The example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Portfolios and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at July 1, 2023 and held until December 31, 2023. Shares of the Trust are not offered directly to the public. Instead, shares are currently issued and redeemed only in connection with investments in and payments under variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies (“Variable Contracts) offered by life insurance companies affiliated with SunAmerica Asset Management, LLC, the Trust’s investment adviser and manager, as well as non-affiliated life insurance companies. The fees and expenses associated with the Variable Contracts are not included in these examples, and had such fees and expenses been included, your costs would have been higher. Please see your variable contract prospectus for more details on the fees associated with the Variable Contract.

 

Actual Expenses

 

The “Actual” section of the table provides information about your actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in these columns, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the column under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During the Six Months Ended December 31, 2023 to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. The “Expenses Paid During the Six Months Ended December 31, 2023 column and the “Annualized Expense Ratio” column do not include fees and expenses that may be charged by the Variable Contracts in which the Portfolios are offered. Had these fees and expenses been included, the “Expenses Paid During the Six Months Ended December 31, 2023 column would have been higher and the “Ending Account Value” column would have been lower.

 

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

 

The “Hypothetical” section of the table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each Portfolio’s actual expense ratio and an annual rate of return of 5% before expenses, which is not the Portfolio’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in these Portfolios and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds. The “Expenses Paid During the Six Months Ended December 31, 2023 column and the “Annualized Expense Ratio” column do not include fees and expenses that may be charged by the Variable Contracts in which the Portfolios are offered. Had these fees and expenses been included, the “Expenses Paid During the Six Months Ended December 31, 2023 column would have been higher and the “Ending Account Value” column would have been lower.

 

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any fees and expenses that may be charged by the Variable Contracts. Please refer to your variable contract prospectus for more information. Therefore, the “Hypothetical” example is useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these fees and expenses were included, your costs would have been higher.

*

Expenses are equal to each Portfolio’s annualized expense ratio multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184 days in the period then divided by 365 days (to reflect the one-half year period). These ratios do not reflect fees and expenses associated with the Variable Contracts. If such fees and expenses had been included, the expenses would have been higher. Please refer to your Variable Contract prospectus for details on the expenses that apply to the Variable Contracts of the insurance companies.

#

During the stated period, the investment adviser either waived a portion of or all fees and assumed a portion of or all expenses for the Portfolios or through recoupment provisions, recovered a portion of or all fees and expenses waived or reimbursed in the previous two fiscal years. As a result, if these fees and expenses had not been waived or assumed, the “Actual/Hypothetical Ending Account Value” would have been lower and the “Actual/Hypothetical Expenses Paid During the Six Months Ended December 31, 2023 and “Annualized Expense Ratio” would have been higher. If these fees and expenses had not been recouped, the “Actual/Hypothetical Ending Account Value” would have been higher and the “Actual/Hypothetical Expenses Paid During the Six Months Ended December 31, 2023 and the “Annualized Expense Ratio” would have been lower.

Non-income producing security
(1) Securities classified as Level 3 (see Note 2).
(2) Denotes a restricted security that: (a) cannot be offered for public sale without first being registered, or being able to take advantage of an exemption from registration, under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”); (b) is subject to a contractual restriction on public sales; or (c) is otherwise subject to a restriction on sales by operation of applicable law.  Restricted securities are valued pursuant to Note 2.  Certain restricted securities held by the Portfolio may not be sold except in exempt transactions or in a public offering registered under the 1933 Act. The Portfolio has no right to demand registration of these securities. The risk of investing in certain restricted securities is greater than the risk of investing in the securities of widely held, publicly traded companies. To the extent applicable, lack of a secondary market and resale restrictions may result in the inability of a Portfolio to sell a security at a fair price and may substantially delay the sale of the security. In addition, certain restricted securities may exhibit greater price volatility than securities for which secondary markets exist. As of December 31, 2023, the Portfolio held the following restricted securities:

SUNAMERICA SERIES TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 — Organization
    SunAmerica Series Trust (the “Trust”), a Massachusetts business trust, is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) as an open-end management investment company. The Trust is currently comprised of 61 portfolios (each, a “Portfolio,” and collectively, the “Portfolios”), 3 of which are included in this report. SunAmerica Asset Management, LLC (“SAAMCo” or the “Adviser”), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Corebridge Financial, Inc. (“Corebridge”), which is a majority-owned subsidiary of American International Group, Inc (“AIG”), serves as investment adviser for all the Portfolios of the Trust.
    Shares of the Portfolios are issued and redeemed in connection with investments in and payments under variable annuity contracts and variable life policies (collectively, the “Variable Contracts) offered by life insurance companies affiliated with the Adviser and Nassau Life Insurance Company, an unaffiliated life insurance company (the “Life Companies”), and are also offered to certain affiliated mutual funds. All shares may be purchased or redeemed at net asset value without any sales or redemption charges. 
    Class 1 shares, Class 2 shares and Class 3 shares of each Portfolio may be offered in connection with certain variable contracts. Class 2 and 3 shares of a given Portfolio are identical in all respects to Class 1 shares of the same Portfolio, except that (i) each class may bear differing amounts of certain class-specific expenses; (ii) Class 2 shares and Class 3 shares are subject to service fees while Class 1 shares are not; and (iii) Class 2 shares and Class 3 shares have voting rights on matters that pertain to the Rule 12b-1 plan adopted with respect to Class 2 shares and Class 3 shares. Class 2 and Class 3 shares of each Portfolio pay service fees at an annual rate of 0.15% and 0.25%, respectively, of each class’s average daily net assets. The Board of Trustees may establish additional portfolios or classes in the future. 
    Each Portfolio is diversified as defined by the 1940 Act. 
    The investment goal for each Portfolio is as follows:
    The SA Wellington Capital Appreciation Portfolio seeks long-term capital appreciation. Its strategy is to invest in growth equity securities across a wide range of industries and companies, using a wide-ranging and flexible stock selection approach.
     The SA Wellington Government and Quality Bond Portfolio seeks relatively high current income, liquidity and security of principal. Its strategy is to invest, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of net assets in obligations issued, guaranteed or insured by the U.S. Government, its agencies or instrumentalities and in high quality corporate fixed income securities (rated AA– or better by S&P Global Ratings or Aa3 or better by Moody’s Investor Services, Inc. or its equivalent by any other nationally recognized statistical rating organization).
     The SA Wellington Strategic Multi-Asset Portfolio seeks high long-term total investment return. Its strategy is to invest the Portfolio’s assets among global equity and global fixed income securities to achieve total investment return.
     Indemnifications: The Trust's organizational documents provide current and former officers and trustees with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. In addition, pursuant to Indemnification Agreements between the Trust and each of the current (and certain former) trustees who is not an “interested person,” as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act, of the Trust (collectively, the “Disinterested Trustees”), the Trust provides the Disinterested Trustees with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust, whether such liabilities are asserted during or after their service as trustees. In addition, in the normal course of business the Trust enters into contracts that contain the obligation to indemnify others. The Trust's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. Currently, however, the Trust expects the risk of loss to be remote.
Note 2 — Significant Accounting Policies
    The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates and those differences could be significant. The Portfolios are considered investment companies under U.S. GAAP and follow the accounting and reporting guidance applicable to investment companies. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Trust, in the preparation of its financial statements:
     Security Valuation: In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures under GAAP, the Portfolios disclose the fair value of their investments in a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure the fair value. In accordance with GAAP, fair value is defined as the price that the Portfolios would receive upon selling an asset or transferring a liability in a timely transaction to an independent third party in the principal or most advantageous market. GAAP establishes a three-tier hierarchy to provide more transparency around the inputs used to measure fair value and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk. Inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The three-tiers are as follows:
    Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
    Level 2 — Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, referenced indices, quoted prices in inactive markets, adjusted quoted prices in active markets, adjusted quoted prices on foreign equity securities that were adjusted in accordance with pricing procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees (the “Board”), etc.)
    Level 3 — Significant unobservable inputs (includes inputs that reflect the Portfolios’ own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the security, developed based on the best information available under the circumstances)
27


Table of Contents
SUNAMERICA SERIES TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (continued)

    Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned Level within the hierarchy. The methodology used for valuing investments is not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those investments and the determination of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and consideration of factors specific to each security.
    The availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of security, whether the security is recently issued and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to the security. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3.
    The summary of the Portfolios’ assets and liabilities classified in the fair value hierarchy as of December 31, 2023, is reported on a schedule at the end of each Portfolio’s Portfolio of Investments.
    Stocks are generally valued based upon closing sales prices reported on recognized securities exchanges on which the securities are principally traded and are generally categorized as Level 1. Stocks listed on the NASDAQ are valued using the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (“NOCP”). Generally, the NOCP will be the last sale price unless the reported trade for the stock is outside the range of the bid/ask price. In such cases, the NOCP will be normalized to the nearer of the bid or ask price. For listed securities having no sales reported and for unlisted securities, such securities will be valued based upon the last reported bid price.
    As of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), securities traded primarily on security exchanges outside the United States are valued at the last sale price on such exchanges on the day of valuation, or if there is no sale on the day of valuation, at the last-reported bid price. If a security’s price is available from more than one exchange, the Portfolios use the exchange that is the primary market for the security. Such securities are generally categorized as Level 1. However, depending on the foreign market, closing prices may be up to 15 hours old when they are used to price a Portfolio’s shares, and the Portfolio may determine that certain closing prices do not reflect the fair value of the security. This determination will be based on the review of a number of factors, including developments in foreign markets, the performance of U.S. securities markets, and the performance of instruments trading in U.S. markets that represent foreign securities and baskets of foreign securities. If a Portfolio determines that closing prices do not reflect the fair value of the securities, the Portfolio will adjust the previous closing prices in accordance with pricing procedures adopted by the Board to reflect what it believes to be the fair value of the securities as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE. The Portfolios may also fair value securities in other situations, for example, when a particular foreign market is closed but a Portfolio is open. For foreign equity securities and foreign equity futures contracts, the Portfolios use an outside pricing service to provide it with closing market prices and information used for adjusting those prices, and when so adjusted, such securities and futures are generally categorized as Level 2.
    Bonds, debentures, and other debt securities are valued at evaluated bid prices obtained for the day of valuation from an independent pricing service and are generally categorized as Level 2. The pricing services may use valuation models or matrix pricing which considers information with respect to comparable bond and note transactions, quotations from bond dealers, or by reference to other securities that are considered comparable in such characteristics as rating, interest rate, maturity date, option adjusted spread models, prepayments projections, interest rate spreads, and yield curves to determine current value. If a price is unavailable from an independent pricing service, the securities may be priced at the mean of two independent quotes obtained from brokers.
    Senior floating rate loans (“Loans”) are valued at the average of available bids in the market for such Loans, as provided by an independent loan pricing service, and are generally categorized as Level 2.
    Investments in registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end of day net asset value per share. Investments in registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded. Investments in registered investment companies are generally categorized as Level 1.
    Futures contracts traded on national securities exchanges are valued at the quoted daily settlement price established by the exchange on which they trade reported by an independent pricing service, and are generally categorized as Level 1. Swap contracts traded on national securities exchanges are valued at the closing price of the exchange on which they are traded or if a closing price of the exchange is not available, the swap will be valued using a mid valuation provided by an independent pricing service, and are generally categorized as Level 2. Swap contracts traded in the over-the-counter (“OTC”) market are valued at a mid valuation provided by an independent pricing service, and are generally categorized as Level 2. Option contracts traded on national securities exchanges are valued at the mean of the last bid and ask price reported by an independent pricing service as of the close of the exchange on which they are traded, and are generally categorized as Level 1. Option contracts traded in the over-the-counter (“OTC”) market are valued at the mid valuation provided by an independent pricing service, and are generally categorized as Level 2. Forward foreign currency contracts (“forward contracts) are valued at the 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time forward rate and are generally categorized as Level 2.
    Other securities are valued on the basis of last sale or bid price (if a last sale price is not available) which is, in the opinion of the Adviser, the broadest and most representative market, that may be either a securities exchange or OTC market, and are generally categorized as Level 1 or Level 2. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or the values of which may be significantly impacted by the occurrence of developments or significant events are generally categorized as Level 3. There is no single standard for making fair value determinations, which may result in prices that vary from those of other funds.
    The Board must determine fair value in good faith for portfolio holdings for which market quotations are not readily available or are unreliable. The Board has designated SAAMCo as the valuation designee (“Valuation Designee”) to perform the fair valuation determinations relating to any or all fund investments. SAAMCo, as the Valuation Designee, has adopted policies and procedures and has established a pricing review committee to determine the fair value of the designated portfolio holdings on its behalf.
    Mortgage-Backed Dollar Rolls: Certain Portfolios may enter into dollar rolls using “to be announced” (“TBA”) mortgage-backed securities (“TBA Rolls”). TBA Roll transactions involve the sale of mortgage or other asset backed securities with the commitment to purchase substantially similar securities on a specified future date. The Portfolios’ policy is to record the components of TBA Rolls as purchase/sale transactions. Any difference between the purchase and sale price is recorded as a realized gain or loss on the date the transaction is entered into. TBA Roll transactions involve the risk that the market value of the securities held by a Portfolio may decline below the price of the securities that the

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (continued)

Portfolio has sold but is obligated to repurchase under the agreement. In the event that the buyer of securities in a TBA Roll transaction files bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, a Portfolio’s use of the proceeds from the sale of the securities may be restricted pending a determination by the other party, or its trustee or receiver, whether to enforce the Portfolio’s obligation to repurchase the securities. 
     Repurchase Agreements: The Portfolios, along with other affiliated registered investment companies, pursuant to procedures adopted by the Board and applicable guidance from the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), may transfer uninvested cash balances into a single joint account, the daily aggregate balance of which is invested in one or more repurchase agreements collateralized by U.S. Treasury or federal agency obligations. In a repurchase agreement, the seller of a security agrees to repurchase the security at a mutually agreed-upon time and price, which reflects the effective rate of return for the term of the agreement. For repurchase agreements and joint repurchase agreements, the Trust’s custodian takes possession of the collateral pledged for investments in such repurchase agreements (“repo” or collectively “repos”). The underlying collateral is valued daily on a mark to market basis, plus accrued interest to ensure that the value, at the time the agreement is entered into, is equal to at least 102% of the repurchase price, including accrued interest. In the event of default of the obligation to repurchase, a Portfolio has the right to liquidate the collateral and apply the proceeds in satisfaction of the obligation. If the seller defaults and the value of the collateral declines or if bankruptcy proceedings are commenced with respect to the seller of the security, realization of the collateral by a Portfolio may be delayed or limited.

    Stripped Mortgage-Backed Securities: Stripped Mortgage-Backed Securities (“SMBS”) are multiple-class mortgage-backed securities. SMBS are often structured with two classes that receive different proportions of the interest and principal distributions on a pool of mortgage assets. SMBS have greater market volatility than other types of U.S. government securities in which a Portfolio invests. A common type of SMBS has one class receiving some of the interest and all or most of the principal (the “principal only” class) from the mortgage pool, while the other class will receive all or most of the interest (the “interest only” class). The yield to maturity on an interest only class is extremely sensitive not only to changes in prevailing interest rates, but also to the rate of principal payments, including principal prepayments, on the underlying pool of mortgage assets, and a rapid rate of principal payment may have a material adverse effect on a Portfolio‘s yield.
     When-Issued Securities and Forward Commitments: Certain Portfolios may purchase or sell when-issued securities, including TBA securities that have been authorized, but not yet issued in the market. In addition, a Portfolio may purchase or sell securities on a forward commitment basis. A forward commitment involves entering into a contract to purchase or sell securities, typically on an extended settlement basis, for a fixed price at a future date. The Portfolios may engage in when-issued or forward commitment transactions in order to secure what is considered to be an advantageous price and yield at the time of entering into the obligation. The purchase of securities on a when-issued or forward commitment basis involves a risk of loss if the value of the security to be purchased declines before the settlement date. Conversely, the sale of securities on a when-issued or forward commitment basis involves the risk that the value of the securities sold may increase before the settlement date.
     Foreign Currency Translation: The books and records of the Portfolios are maintained in U.S. dollars. Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies and commitments under forward foreign currency contracts are translated into U.S. dollars based on the exchange rate of such currencies against U.S. dollars on the date of valuation.
    The Portfolios do not isolate that portion of the results of operations arising as a result of changes in the foreign exchange rates from the changes in the market prices of securities held at the end of the period. Similarly, the Portfolios do not isolate the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates from the changes in the market prices of portfolio securities sold during the period.

    Realized foreign exchange gains and losses on other assets and liabilities and change in unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses on other assets and liabilities located in the Statements of Operations include realized foreign exchange gains and losses from currency gains or losses between the trade and the settlement dates of securities transactions, the difference between the amounts of interest, dividends and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Portfolios’ books and the U.S. dollar equivalent amounts actually received or paid and changes in the unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses relating to the other assets and liabilities arising as a result of changes in the exchange rates.
     Securities Transactions, Investment Income, Expenses, Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders: Security transactions are recorded on a trade date basis.  Realized gains and losses on the sale of investments are calculated on the identified cost basis.  Interest income is accrued daily from settlement date except when collection is not expected. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date except for certain dividends from foreign securities, which are recorded as soon as the Trust is informed after the ex-dividend date. Paydown gains and losses on mortgage and asset-backed securities are recorded as components of interest income on the Statement of Operations. For financial statement purposes, the Portfolios amortize all premiums and accrete all discounts on fixed income securities.  Distributions from income from underlying mutual fund investments, if any, are recorded to income on the ex-dividend date. Distributions from net realized capital gains from underlying mutual fund investments, if any, are recorded to realized gains on the ex-dividend date. 
    Portfolios which earn foreign income and capital gains may be subject to foreign withholding taxes and capital gains taxes at various rates. Under applicable foreign law, a withholding of tax may be imposed on interest, dividends, and capital gains from the sale of foreign securities at various rates. India, Thailand, and certain other countries’ tax regulations require that taxes be paid on capital gains realized by a Portfolio. 
    Distributions received from Real Estate Investment Trust (“REIT”) investments are recharacterized based on information provided by the REIT into the following categories: ordinary income, long-term and short-term capital gains, and return of capital. If information is not available on a timely basis from the REIT, the recharacterization will be based on available information which may include the previous year’s allocation. If new or additional information becomes available from the REIT at a later date, a recharacterization will be made in the following year. The amount recharacterized as ordinary income is recorded as dividend income and the amount recharacterized as capital gain is recorded as realized gain in the Statement of Operations. The amount recharacterized as return of capital is recorded as a reduction to the cost of investments in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. These recharacterizations are reflected in the accompanying financial statements.
    Income, expenses other than class specific expenses, and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the relative net asset value of outstanding shares of each class of shares at the beginning of the day (after adjusting for current capital share activity of the respective class).
    Expenses common to all Portfolios are allocated among the Portfolios based upon relative net assets or other appropriate allocation methods. In all other respects, expenses are charged to each Portfolio as incurred on a specific identification basis. The expenses included in the accompanying financial statements reflect the expenses of each of the respective funds and do not include indirect expenses associated with the investments in the Underlying Portfolios. “Fees paid indirectly” in the Statement of Operations represents expense reductions used to offset non-affiliated expenses resulting from participation in a commission recapture program.
    Dividends from net investment income and capital gain distributions, if any, are paid annually. The Portfolios record dividends and distributions to their shareholders on the ex-dividend date.
    The amount of dividends and distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are either considered temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts at fiscal year end based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification. Net assets are not affected by these reclassifications. 
    Each Portfolio is considered a separate entity for tax purposes and intends to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, applicable to regulated investment companies and distribute all of its taxable income, including any net capital gains on investments, to its shareholders. Each Portfolio also intends to distribute sufficient net investment income and net capital gains, if any, so that it will not be subject to excise tax on undistributed income and gains. Therefore, no federal income tax or excise tax provision is required. 
    Each Portfolio recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained, assuming examination by tax authorities. Management has analyzed each Portfolio’s tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions. The Portfolios are not aware of any tax provisions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of recognized tax benefits will change materially in the next twelve months. The Portfolios file U.S. federal and certain state income tax returns. The Portfolios federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service. 
Recent Accounting and Regulatory Developments
    In October 2022, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) adopted rule and form amendments that require mutual funds and exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) that are
registered on Form N-1A to prepare and transmit tailored unaudited annual and semi-annual shareholder reports (“TSRs”), that highlight key information to investors, within
60 days of period-end. In connection with these amendments, certain information that was previously disclosed in shareholder reports will instead be made available online,
delivered free of charge upon request, and filed on a semiannual basis on Form N-CSR. These rules have a compliance date of July 24, 2024.
Note 3 — Derivative Instruments
     Forward Foreign Currency Contracts: A forward contract is an agreement between two parties to buy or sell currency at a set price on a future date. The market value of the contract will fluctuate with changes in currency exchange rates. The contract is marked-to-market daily using the forward rate and the cumulative change in market value is recorded by a Portfolio as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. On the settlement date, a Portfolio records either realized gains or losses equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (continued)

    Risks to a Portfolio of entering into forward contracts include counterparty risk, market risk and illiquidity risk. Counterparty risk arises upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts. If the counterparty defaults, a Portfolio’s loss will generally consist of the net amount of contractual payments that the Portfolio has not yet received though the Portfolio’s maximum exposure due to counterparty risk could extend to the notional amount of the contract. Market risk is the risk that the value of the forward contract will depreciate due to unfavorable changes in the exchange rates. These contracts may involve market risk in excess of the unrealized appreciation or depreciation reported on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Illiquidity risk arises because the secondary market for forwards may have less liquidity relative to markets for other securities. Currency transactions are also subject to risks different from those of other portfolio transactions. Because currency control is of great importance to the issuing governments and influences economic planning and policy, purchases and sales of currency and related instruments can be adversely affected by government exchange controls, limitations or restrictions on repatriation of currency, and manipulations or exchange restrictions imposed by governments.
    Forward foreign currency contracts outstanding at the end of the period, if any, are reported on a schedule at the end of each Portfolio’s Portfolio of Investments.
     Futures: A futures contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a financial instrument at a set price on a future date. Upon entering into a futures transaction, a Portfolio will be required to segregate an initial margin payment of cash or other liquid securities with the futures commission merchant (the “broker”). Subsequent payments are made or received by the Portfolio as a result of changes in the value of the contract and/or changes in the value of the initial margin requirement. Such receipts or payments are recorded in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as variation margin for changes in the value of the contracts and as cash collateral for futures contracts for the changes in the value of the initial margin requirement. When a contract is closed, the Portfolios record a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.
    The primary risk to a Portfolio of entering into futures contracts is market risk. Market risk is the risk that there will be an unfavorable change in the interest rate, value or currency rate of the underlying security or securities. Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of the variation margin disclosed on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. There may also be trading restrictions or limitations imposed by an exchange, and government regulations may restrict trading in futures contracts. While a Portfolio will generally only purchase exchange-traded futures, due to market conditions, there may not always be a liquid secondary market for a futures contract and, as a result, the Portfolio may be unable to close out its futures contracts at a time which is advantageous. In addition, if a Portfolio has insufficient cash to meet margin requirements, the Portfolio may need to sell other investments, including at disadvantageous times. There is generally minimal counterparty risk to a Portfolio since the futures contracts are generally exchange-traded.
    Futures contracts outstanding at the end of the period, if any, are reported on a schedule at the end of each Portfolio’s Portfolio of Investments.
     Options: An option is a contract conveying a right to buy or sell a financial instrument at a specified price during a stipulated period. When a Portfolio writes a call or a put option, it receives a premium which is equal to the current market value of the option written. The premiums on written options are recorded as a liability on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. If a Portfolio purchases a call or a put option, it pays a premium which reflects the current market value of the option and which is included on the Portfolio’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an investment. The option position is marked to market daily and its value fluctuates based upon the value of the underlying financial instrument, time to expiration, cost of borrowing funds, and volatility of the value of the underlying financial instrument. If an option which a Portfolio has written either expires on its stipulated expiration date, or if the Portfolio enters into a closing purchase transaction, the Portfolio realizes a gain (or loss if the cost of a closing purchase transaction exceeds the premium received when the option was written) without regard to any unrealized gain or loss on the underlying security, and the liability related to such options is extinguished. If a call option which a Portfolio has written is exercised, the Portfolio realizes a gain or loss from the sale of the underlying security and the proceeds from such sale are increased by the premium originally received. If a put option which a Portfolio has written is exercised, the amount of the premium originally received reduces the cost of the security which the Portfolio purchased upon exercise of the option. Options may be traded on a national securities exchange or in the OTC market.
    Risks to a Portfolio of entering into option contracts include counterparty risk, market risk and, with respect to OTC options, illiquidity risk. Counterparty risk arises from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts. If the counterparty defaults, a Portfolio’s loss will consist of the net amount of contractual payments that the Portfolio has not yet received. Market risk is the risk that there will be an unfavorable change in the value of the underlying securities, and for written options, may result in losses in excess of the amounts shown on the statement of assets and liabilities. There is also the risk a Portfolio may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid market. In addition, unlisted options are not traded on an exchange and may not be as actively traded as listed options, making the valuation of such securities more difficult. An unlisted option also entails a greater risk that the party on the other side of the option transaction may default, which would make it impossible to close out an unlisted option position in some cases, and profits related to the transaction lost thereby.
    Option contracts outstanding at the end of the period, if any, are reported on a schedule at the end of each Portfolio’s Portfolio of Investments.
     Master Agreements: Certain Portfolios that hold derivative instruments and other financial instruments may be a party to ISDA (International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc.) Master Agreements or similar agreements (“Master Agreements”) with certain counterparties that govern such instruments. Master Agreements may contain provisions regarding, among other things, the parties’ general obligations, representations, agreements, collateral requirements, events of default and early termination. Collateral can be in the form of cash or securities as agreed to by a Portfolio and applicable counterparty. Collateral requirements are generally determined based on a Portfolio’s net position with each counterparty. Master Agreements may also include certain provisions that require a Portfolio to post additional collateral upon the occurrence of certain events, such as when a Portfolio’s net assets fall below a specified level. In addition, Master Agreements typically specify certain standard termination events, such as failure of a party to pay or deliver, credit support defaults and other events of default. Termination events applicable to a Portfolio may also occur upon a decline in a Portfolio’s net assets below a specified level over a certain period of time. Additional termination events applicable to counterparties may occur upon a decline in a counterparty’s long-term and short-term credit ratings below a specified level, or upon a decline in the ratings of a counterparty’s credit support provider. Upon the occurrence of a termination event, the other party may elect to terminate early and cause settlement of all instruments outstanding pursuant to a particular Master Agreement, including the payment of any losses and costs resulting from such early termination, as reasonably determined by the terminating party. Any decision by one or more of a Portfolio’s counterparties to elect early termination could cause the Portfolio to accelerate the payment of liabilities, which settlement amounts could be in excess of the amount of assets that are already posted as collateral. Typically, the Master Agreement will permit a single net payment in the event of default. Note, however, that bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against the right of offset in bankruptcy, insolvency or other events. As a result, the early termination with respect to derivative instruments subject to Master

    The Portfolios are permitted to transfer securities by purchasing from and/or selling to other affiliated funds under certain conditions approved by the Board. The affiliated funds involved in such transactions must have a common investment adviser or investment advisers which are affiliated persons of each other, common Trustees, and/or common officers in compliance with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Pursuant to the 1940 Act, such a transaction must be either a purchase or a sale, for no consideration other than cash payment against prompt delivery of the security at the current market price. No brokerage commission or fee (except for customary transfer fees), or other remuneration is paid in connection with such transactions.  During the year ended December 31, 2023, none of the Portfolios engaged in these transactions. 
Note 9 — Investment Concentration
    Certain Portfolios invest internationally, including in “emerging market” countries. Emerging market securities involve risks not typically associated with investing in securities of issuers in more developed markets. The markets of emerging market countries are typically more volatile and potentially less liquid than more developed countries. These securities may be denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars. While investing internationally may reduce portfolio risk by increasing the diversification of portfolio investments, the value of the investment may be affected by fluctuating currency values, changing local and regional economic, political and social conditions, and greater market volatility. These risks are primary risks of the SA Wellington Strategic Multi-Asset Portfolio.
    Each Portfolio may invest in obligations issued by agencies and instrumentalities of the U.S. Government that may vary in the level of support they receive from the government. The government may choose not to provide financial support to government sponsored agencies or instrumentalities if it is not legally obligated to do so, and if the issuer defaults, a portfolio holding securities of such issuer might not be able to recover its investment from the U.S. Government. As a result of the SA Wellington Government and Quality Bond Portfolio concentration in such investments, these funds may be subject to risks associated with the U.S. Government, its agencies or instrumentalities.
Note 10 — Line of Credit
    The Trust, along with certain other funds managed by the Adviser, has access to a $75 million committed unsecured line of credit and a $50 million uncommitted unsecured line of credit. The committed and uncommitted lines of credit are renewable on an annual basis with State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street”), the Trust’s custodian. Interest on each of the committed and uncommitted lines of credit is payable at a variable rate per annum equal to the Applicable Rate plus one and one quarter of one percent (1.25%). The Applicable Rate per annum shall be equal to the higher of (a) the federal funds effective rate on such date and (b) the overnight bank funding rate on such date, plus, in each case, 10 basis points. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, if the federal funds effective rate or the overnight bank funding rate shall be less than zero, then the federal funds effective rate or the overnight bank funding rate, shall be deemed to be zero for the purposes of determining the rate. The Trust, on behalf of each of the Portfolios, has paid State Street, such Portfolio’s ratable portion of an upfront fee in an amount equal to $40,000 in the aggregate for the uncommitted line of credit made available by State Street to certain other funds managed by the Adviser, which are also party to the uncommitted line of credit. There is also a commitment fee of 30 basis points per annum on the daily unused portion of the committed line of credit. Borrowings under the line of credit will commence when the respective Portfolio’s cash shortfall exceeds $100,000. For the year ended December 31, 2023, the following Portfolios had borrowings:

Note 11 — Interfund Lending Agreement
    Pursuant to the exemptive relief granted by the SEC, the Portfolios are permitted to participate in an interfund lending program among investment companies advised by SAAMCo or an affiliate. The interfund lending program allows the participating Portfolios to borrow money from and lend money to each other for temporary or emergency purposes. An interfund loan will be made under this facility only if the participating Portfolios receive a more favorable interest rate than would otherwise be available from a typical bank for a comparable transaction. For the year ended December 31, 2023, none of the Portfolios participated in this program.

SUNAMERICA SERIES TRUST

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM


 

To the Board of Trustees of SunAmerica Series Trust and Shareholders of SA Wellington Capital Appreciation Portfolio, SA Wellington Government and Quality Bond Portfolio and SA Wellington Strategic Multi-Asset Portfolio

 

Opinions on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the portfolios of investments, of SA Wellington Capital Appreciation Portfolio, SA Wellington Government and Quality Bond Portfolio and SA Wellington Strategic Multi-Asset Portfolio (three of the portfolios constituting SunAmerica Series Trust, hereafter collectively referred to as the “Portfolios”) as of December 31, 2023, the related statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2023, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2023, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended December 31, 2023 (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Portfolios as of December 31, 2023, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2023 and each of the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended December 31, 2023, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Basis for Opinions

 

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Portfolios’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Portfolios’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Portfolios in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.

 

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2023 by correspondence with the custodian, brokers and portfolio company; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

SUNAMERICA SERIES TRUST

APPROVAL OF ADVISORY AND SUBADVISORY AGREEMENTS December 31, 2023 (unaudited)


 

At a meeting held on October 12, 2023, the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of SunAmerica Series Trust (the “Trust”), including the Trustees who are not interested persons of the Trust, as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Independent Trustees”), approved the continuation of the Investment Advisory and Management Agreement between SunAmerica Asset Management, LLC (“SunAmerica” or the “Adviser”) and the Trust (the “Advisory Agreement”) on behalf of the SA Wellington Capital Appreciation Portfolio, SA Wellington Government and Quality Bond Portfolio and SA Wellington Strategic Multi-Asset Portfolio (each, a “Portfolio” and collectively, the “Portfolios), and the Subadvisory Agreement between SunAmerica and Wellington Management Company LLP (“Wellington” or the “Subadviser”) with respect to the Portfolios. The Advisory Agreement and Subadvisory Agreement are referred to together herein as the “Advisory Contracts.”

 

In connection with the approval of the Advisory Contracts, the Board received materials related to certain factors used in its consideration whether to renew or approve the Advisory Contracts. Those factors included:

 

  (1)

the requirements of the Trust in the areas of investment supervisory and administrative services;

 

  (2)

the nature, extent and quality of the investment advisory, administrative, operational and compliance services provided by SunAmerica, including a review of the investment performance of the Portfolios and oversight of the Subadviser;

 

  (3)

the size and structure of the investment advisory fee and any other material payments to the Adviser and Subadviser and, in connection therewith, a review of the costs of services provided and the profits realized by the Adviser and its affiliates from the relationship with the Trust;

 

  (4)

the expenses paid by each of the Portfolios, including their total operating expenses and any applicable expense limitation;

 

  (5)

the extent to which the Adviser realizes economies of scale and shares them with the Trust;

 

  (6)

the organizational capability, resources, personnel and financial condition of the Adviser and Subadviser and their affiliates; and

 

  (7)

the fees paid by the Adviser to the Subadviser for managing the Portfolios.

 

In addition, the Board considered (a) the historical relationship between the Trust and SunAmerica; (b) the possibility that services of the type required by the Portfolios might be better obtained from other organizations; (c) the conditions and trends prevailing in the economy, the securities markets and the investment company industry; and (d) the reasonableness of the amount of the fee retained by the Adviser in light of the services provided by the Adviser and the Subadviser.

 

The Independent Trustees were separately represented by counsel that is independent of SunAmerica in connection with their consideration of approval of the Advisory Contracts. The matters discussed below were also considered separately by the Independent Trustees in executive sessions during which their independent counsel provided guidance to the Independent Trustees.

 

The Board received information regarding each Portfolio’s advisory and subadvisory fees compared to advisory and subadvisory fee rates of a group of funds with similar investment strategies and/or objectives, as applicable (respectively, the “Expense Group/Universe” and the “Subadvised Expense Group/Universe”), as selected and prepared by an independent third-party provider of investment company data. The Board also received performance data and expense information prepared by management. In addition, the Board considered the expenses and performance of SunAmerica and the Subadviser with respect to accounts and mutual funds managed by each that have comparable investment objectives and strategies to each of the Portfolios that they manage.

 

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. The Board, including the Independent Trustees, considered the nature, quality and extent of services provided by SunAmerica and the Subadviser. In making its evaluation, the Board considered that SunAmerica acts as adviser for each Portfolio, manages the daily business affairs of the Trust, obtains and evaluates economic, statistical and financial information to formulate and implement investment policies, and provides oversight with respect to the daily management of the Portfolios’ assets allocated to the Subadviser, subject to the Trustees’ oversight and control. It was also noted that SunAmerica’s advisory fees compensate SunAmerica for services such as monitoring Portfolio performance, selecting and replacing subadvisers and ensuring that the Subadviser’s style adheres to the prospectus and statement of additional information as well as other administrative, compliance and legal services.

 

The Board noted that SunAmerica is responsible for overseeing the performance of services by the Trust’s custodian, transfer agent and dividend disbursing agent. The Board also noted that SunAmerica is responsible for the financial, legal and accounting records required to be maintained by the Portfolios and for the administration of the Trust’s business affairs, including providing such office space, bookkeeping, accounting, clerical, secretarial and administrative services (exclusive of, and in addition to, any such service provided by any others retained by the Trust or any of the Trust’s portfolios) and such executive and other personnel as may be necessary for the operations of the Portfolios. The Board considered that SunAmerica monitors and reviews the activities of third-party service providers that may provide additional administrative services.

 

In addition, the Board considered the key personnel of SunAmerica who are involved in the investment management, administration, compliance and risk management activities with respect to the Portfolios. The Board also considered the compensation program for SunAmerica’s investment professionals.

 

With respect to the Subadviser, the Board noted that the Subadviser is responsible for providing investment management services on a day-to-day basis. In such role, the Subadviser (i) determines the securities to be purchased or sold and executes such documents on behalf of the Portfolios as may be necessary in connection therewith; (ii) provides SunAmerica with records concerning their activities; and (iii) renders regular reports to SunAmerica and to officers and Trustees of the Trust concerning their discharge of the foregoing responsibilities. The Board reviewed the Subadviser’s history, structure and size, and investment experience. The Board considered the Subadviser’s personnel who are involved in the investment management, administration, compliance and risk management activities with respect to the Portfolios, as well as current and projected staffing levels and compensation practices. The Board was informed that in management’s judgment, the Subadviser has the size, viability and resources to attract and retain highly qualified investment professionals.

SUNAMERICA SERIES TRUST

APPROVAL OF ADVISORY AND SUBADVISORY AGREEMENTS December 31, 2023 (unaudited)(continued)


 

The Board reviewed the qualifications, background and responsibilities of SunAmerica’s staff and the Subadviser’s staff who are responsible for providing investment management services to the Portfolios and other key personnel of SunAmerica in addition to current and projected staffing levels and compensation practices.

 

The Board considered SunAmerica’s reputation and long-standing relationship with the Trust and considered the benefit to shareholders of investing in funds that are part of a family of funds offering a variety of types of mutual funds and shareholder services. The Board also considered the Trust’s relationship with affiliated life insurance companies that offer the Portfolios through variable annuity and variable life insurance products. The Board considered SunAmerica’s experience in providing management and investment advisory and administrative services to advisory clients. The Board also considered SunAmerica’s code of ethics and its risk management process, and that SunAmerica has developed internal procedures, adopted by the Board, for monitoring compliance with the investment objectives, policies and restrictions of the Trust’s portfolios as set forth in the Trust’s registration statement.

 

The Board also reviewed and considered SunAmerica’s and the Subadviser’s compliance and regulatory history, including information about whether any were involved in any litigation, regulatory actions or investigations that could impair their ability to serve as an adviser or subadviser to the Portfolios. The Board considered SunAmerica’s and the Subadviser’s risk assessment and risk management processes. The Board concluded that there was no information provided that would have a material adverse effect on SunAmerica’s or the Subadviser’s ability to provide services to the Trust.

The Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, quality and extent of the services provided by or to be provided by SunAmerica and the Subadviser and that there was a reasonable basis on which to conclude that they would provide high quality services to the Trust.

 

Portfolio Fees and Expenses; Investment Performance. The Board, including the Independent Trustees, received and reviewed information regarding the Portfolios’ fees (actual or contractual management fees, subadvisory fees, non-management fees, and 12b-1 fees, if applicable), and expense ratios compared against such fees and expense ratios of the Expense Group/Universe for each Portfolio. Such fees and expense ratios were compared both before and after expense waivers, caps and reimbursements, if any. It was noted that with respect to subadvisory fees, SunAmerica negotiates such fees at arm’s length. The Board also considered that the subadvisory fees are paid by SunAmerica out of its advisory fee and not by the Portfolios, and that subadvisory fees may vary widely within a Subadvised Expense Group/Universe for various reasons, including market pricing demands, existing relationships, experience and success, and individual client needs. The Board further considered the amount of subadvisory fees paid by SunAmerica and the amount of the management fees that it retained and determined that these amounts were reasonable in light of the services performed by SunAmerica and the Subadviser, respectively.

 

To assist in analyzing the reasonableness of the advisory and subadvisory fees, the Board received a report prepared independently by Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (“Broadridge”) as well as information provided by management. The Board also considered advisory fees received by the Adviser and the Subadviser with respect to other mutual funds and accounts with similar investment strategies to the Portfolios each advises. Based on the information from Broadridge, the Board reviewed detailed information about peer groups of comparable mutual funds based on various factors such as the type of fund (those underlying variable insurance products), comparable investment objectives and strategies, among other factors. Referred to herein are Expense Groups and Performance Groups/Universes that represent those peer groups of funds used to compare expenses and performance, respectively.

 

The Trustees noted that the expense information as a whole was useful in assessing whether SunAmerica and the Subadviser were providing services at a cost that was competitive with other similar funds. The performance information included annualized returns for the period since inception and the one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods, as applicable, ended June 30, 2023 from Broadridge and performance information as of June 30, 2023 from management. On a quarterly basis, the Board monitors and reviews various materials presented and prepared by management, including but not limited to each Portfolio’s overall performance, performance relative to each Portfolio’s relevant benchmark and Morningstar and/or Broadridge peer groups, as applicable, and the Subadviser’s performance within the Portfolio. The Board considered that management makes particular note of any of the Trust’s portfolios that may require closer monitoring or potential corrective action by the Board.

 

As part of its review of the Portfolios’ fees and expenses and performance, the Board considered information, including but not limited to the following expense and performance information, provided by Broadridge and management in making its determinations. It was noted that actual advisory and subadvisory fees and total expenses were calculated as of each Portfolio’s most recent fiscal year end, which may vary among the Portfolio’s Expense Group/Universe.

 

    SA Wellington Capital Appreciation Portfolio. The Board noted that both actual management fees and total were slightly above the medians of its Expense Group. The Board took account of management’s discussion of the Portfolio’s fees and expenses.

 

The Board considered that the Portfolio performed above its benchmark index for the one-year period and below that index for the three-, five- and ten-year periods. The Board further considered that the Portfolio performed above the medians of its Performance Group for the one-, five- and ten-year periods and below the median for the three-year period. The Board took account of management’s discussion of the Portfolio’s performance.

 

    SA Wellington Government and Quality Bond Portfolio. The Board noted that both actual management fees and total expenses were slightly above the medians of its Expense Group. The Board took account of management’s discussion of the Portfolio’s fees and expenses.

 

The Board considered that the Portfolio performed below its benchmark index for the one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods. The Board also considered that the Portfolio performed above the medians of its Performance Group for the one- and ten-year periods and below the medians for the three- and five-year periods. The Board took account of management’s discussion of the Portfolio’s performance.

 

    SA Wellington Strategic Multi-Asset Portfolio. The Board noted that both actual management fees and total expenses were above the medians of its Expense Group. The Board took account of management’s discussion of the Portfolio’s fees and expenses and noted that management has agreed to lower the expense cap with respect to the Portfolio by 5 basis points, such that the expense limitation is 0.81% and 1.06% on Class 1 and Class 3 shares, respectively. The Board also considered that SunAmerica has contractually agreed to a fee waiver that lowers the advisory fee with respect to the Portfolio by 35 basis points at each applicable breakpoint.

SUNAMERICA SERIES TRUST

APPROVAL OF ADVISORY AND SUBADVISORY AGREEMENTS December 31, 2023 (unaudited)(continued)


 

The Board considered that the Portfolio performed below its benchmark index for the one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods. The Board also considered that the Portfolio performed above the median of its Performance Group for the one-year period and below the medians for the three-, five- and ten-year periods. The Board took account of management’s discussion of the Portfolio’s performance.

 

The Trustees noted that the expense and performance information as a whole was useful in assessing whether the Subadviser was providing services at a cost that was competitive with other similar funds.

 

Cost of Services & Benefits Derived. With respect to indirect costs and benefits, the Board was informed, based on management’s judgment, that any indirect costs incurred by SunAmerica in connection with rendering investment advisory services to the Portfolios were inconsequential to the analysis of the adequacy of the advisory fees, and that any collateral benefits derived as a result of providing advisory services to the Portfolios did not impact the reasonableness of the advisory fee. The Board considered that SunAmerica is paid an administrative services fee of up to 0.04% of the average daily net asset value of the Trust’s portfolios pursuant to an arrangement between SunAmerica and certain affiliated life insurance companies (the “Life Companies”). The Board considered that the Trust also pays VALIC Retirement Services Company, an affiliate of SunAmerica, a fee for the provision of recordkeeping and shareholder services to contract owners and participants.

 

In connection with benefits derived from the Trust, the Board considered that the Life Companies may benefit as a result of their direct ownership of the Portfolios’ shares, which amounts may be significant. It was noted that in calculating their corporate income tax liability as insurance companies, the Life Companies, as corporate mutual fund shareholders, may exclude a portion of the ordinary dividends paid by underlying U.S. equities in the Portfolios to the same extent the Portfolios receive certain dividends with respect to shares of stock issued by domestic corporations, subject to applicable tax laws and regulations. In addition, the Life Companies may also rely on foreign tax credits with respect to certain foreign securities held by the Portfolios. The Board considered that the Life Companies receive financial support from SunAmerica for distribution-related activities, including administrative, marketing and other servicing activities, including payments to help offset costs for marketing activities and training (including training of registered representatives of Corebridge Capital Services, Inc., an affiliate of SunAmerica) to support sales of the Portfolios, as well as occasional gifts, entertainment or other compensation as incentives. It was noted that such payments may be derived from 12b-1 (service) fees that are deducted directly from the assets of the Portfolios or from investment management fees received by SunAmerica or the Subadviser. In addition, the Board considered that, because shares of the Portfolios are offered as investment options through variable annuity or life contracts issued by the Life Companies (the “Variable Contracts), the investment objectives, strategies and performance of the Portfolios may positively or negatively impact a Life Company’s ability to hedge and the related hedging costs associated with guarantees that the Life Company may provide as the issuer of the Variable Contracts.

 

The Board concluded that any benefits that SunAmerica and its affiliates could be expected to receive with regard to providing investment advisory and other services to the Portfolios were reasonable.

 

Profitability and Economies of Scale. The Board received information related to SunAmerica’s profitability as well as the profitability of certain affiliates with respect to the services they provide to the Trust’s portfolios. The profitability analysis reflected the relationship between SunAmerica and the affiliated Life Companies. The Board considered that, pursuant to administrative services agreements between SunAmerica and each of the Life Companies, SunAmerica pays a fee to each Life Company at an annual rate of 25 basis points of the average daily net assets of the Portfolios that are held by the corresponding separate accounts of each Life Company, in exchange for certain administrative services provided to the Portfolios. The Board determined that the profitability to SunAmerica in connection with its relationship to the Trust was reasonable. In addition, the Board considered the Investment Management Profitability Analysis prepared by an independent information service, Broadridge, and noted that SunAmerica’s profitability was generally in the range of the profitability of companies contained in the report.

 

It was noted that the subadvisory fees paid pursuant to the Subadvisory Agreement are paid by SunAmerica out of the advisory fees that it receives under the Advisory Agreement. The Trustees also relied on the ability of SunAmerica to negotiate the Subadvisory Agreement and the fees thereunder at arm’s length. It was noted that SunAmerica reviewed a number of factors in determining appropriate subadvisory fees payable to the Subadviser. Such factors include a review of (1) style class peers primarily within the variable annuity universe; (2) key competitor analysis; (3) portfolio analysis; and (4) special considerations such as competitor subaccount characteristics, uniqueness of the product and the manager’s prestige. The Board determined that the profitability to the Subadviser in connection with its relationship with the Portfolios is therefore not a material factor in its consideration of the Subadvisory Agreement.

 

The Board also received and considered information regarding the ability of the Portfolios to achieve economies of scale. It was noted that the advisory fees of the Portfolios contain breakpoints that will reduce the fees paid by each Portfolio as its assets increase. It was noted that as a result of being part of a complex of mutual funds advised or administered by SunAmerica, the Trust is able to share common resources and may share certain expenses, which could result in the Portfolios experiencing lower expenses than they otherwise would achieve if the Trust were a stand-alone entity. The Board considered that management believed that the Portfolios’ existing fee schedules reflect the economies of scale inherent in providing investment advice to a Portfolio in its particular asset category and asset size. The Board concluded that any potential economies of scale are currently being shared between the Trust and SunAmerica in an appropriate manner.

 

The Board considered that the Subadvisory Agreement also contains breakpoints in the fee schedules, however, since SunAmerica, and not the Trust, is responsible for the payment of the fees pursuant to the Subadvisory Agreement, the Trust does not directly benefit from any reduction in subadvisory fee rates. For similar reasons as stated above with respect to the Subadviser’s profitability and its costs of providing services, the Board concluded that the potential for economies of scale in the Subadviser’s management of the Portfolios are not a material factor in its consideration at this time.

 

Terms of Advisory Contracts. The Board, including the Independent Trustees, reviewed the terms of the Advisory Contracts including the duties and responsibilities undertaken by SunAmerica and the Subadviser as discussed above. The Board considered that SunAmerica pays all of its own expenses in connection with the performance of its duties, as well as the salaries, fees and expenses of the officers of the Trust who are employees of SunAmerica. The Board also reviewed the terms of payment for services rendered and noted that SunAmerica compensates the Subadviser out of the fees it receives from the Trust. The Board noted that the Subadvisory Agreement provides that the Subadviser will pay all of its own expenses in connection with the performance of its duties as well as the cost of maintaining the staff and personnel as necessary for it to perform its obligations. The Board also considered other terms and conditions of the Advisory Contracts.

APPROVAL OF ADVISORY AND SUBADVISORY AGREEMENTS December 31, 2023 (unaudited)(continued)


 

Conclusions. In reaching its decision to recommend the renewal of the Advisory Contracts, the Board did not identify any single factor as being controlling, but based its recommendation on each of the factors it considered and each Trustee attributes different weight to the various factors. Based upon the materials it reviewed, the representations made to it and the considerations described above, and as part of their deliberations, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, concluded that SunAmerica and the Subadviser each possesses the capability and resources to perform the duties required of it under its respective Advisory Contract.

 

Further, based upon its review of the Advisory Contracts, the materials provided, and the considerations described above, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, concluded that: (1) the terms of the Advisory Contracts are reasonable, fair and in the best interest of the Portfolios and their shareholders, and (2) the advisory fee rates and subadvisory fee rates are fair and reasonable in light of the usual and customary charges made for services of the same nature and quality and the other factors considered.

COMPARISONS: PORTFOLIOS VS. INDEXES (unaudited)


 

As required by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the following graphs compare the performance of a $10,000 investment in each Portfolio to a $10,000 investment in a comparable securities index over the ten year period ended December 31, 2023. Importantly, such indices represent “paper” Portfolios and do not reflect the costs and expenses of actual investing. Following each graph is a discussion of portfolio performance and factors affecting performance over the year ended December 31, 2023.

 

The following graphs and tables show the performance of the Portfolios of the SunAmerica Series Trust and include all trust expenses, but no insurance company expenses associated with the variable annuity contract or variable life insurance policy, and no insurance company contingent deferred sales charge. No expenses are deducted from the performance of the indices. All dividends are assumed to be reinvested.

 

Market indices referenced are unmanaged. You cannot invest directly in an index. Investments in stocks and bonds are subject to risk, including stock market and interest-rate fluctuations. Investments in non-U.S. stocks are subject to additional risks, including political and social instability, differing securities regulations and accounting standards, and limited public information. Mortgage-backed securities are subject to prepayment, which can result in reinvestment of principal at lower yields. Money market instruments generally offer stability and income, but an investment in these securities, like investments in other Portfolios, is not guaranteed by the U.S. government or any other entity.

Note: The performance data quoted represents past performance; past performance does not guarantee future results; the investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost; current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted.

The SA Wellington Capital Appreciation Portfolio — Class 1 shares posted a return of 39.69% for the 12-month period ending December 31, 2023, compared to a 41.21% return for the Russell 3000® Growth Index.

 

Sector returns within the Russell 3000® Growth Index were positive in all 11 sectors during the year. Communication services [+63.78%] and information technology [+60.85%] were the top-performing sectors. Utilities [+0.48%] and energy [+3.33%] were the bottom-performing sectors during the period.

 

Sector allocation was the primary driver of relative underperformance. This was due to the Portfolio’s underweight to the information technology sector and overweight to the health care sector. This was partially offset by the Portfolio’s overweight to the communication services sector and underweight to the consumer staples sector, which contributed to results.

 

Security selection contributed to results over the period. Strong security selection, particularly within the communication services, information technology, and consumer staples sectors contributed. Within the communication services sectors, the Portfolio’s overweight positions in Meta Platforms, Inc., Class A and Spotify Technology SA contributed while the Portfolio’s overweight positions in ZoomInfo Technologies, Inc. and Liberty Media Corp.-Liberty Formula One, Class C detracted from results. Within information technology, the Portfolio’s overweight positions in NVIDIA Corp. and Salesforce, Inc. contributed while not owning Microsoft Corp. and an out-of-benchmark position in SolarEdge Technologies, Inc. detracted from results. Within consumer staples, not owning PepsiCo, Inc. and Coca-Cola Co. contributed while the Portfolio’s overweight positions in Lamb Weston Holdings, Inc. and Monster Beverage Corp. detracted from results.

 

The Portfolio ended the period most overweight to the communication services and health care sectors and most underweight to the information technology and consumer discretionary sectors in relation to the Russell 3000® Growth Index.

The SA Wellington Government and Quality Bond Portfolio — Class 1 shares posted a return of 5.07% for the 12-month period ending December 31, 2023, compared to a 4.98% return for the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate A or Better Index.

 

The Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate A or Better Index underperformed the broader Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, which returned 5.53%. On an absolute return basis, Treasuries [4.05%] had positive results, as did non-Treasury sectors: U.S. mortgage-backed securities (MBS) [5.05%] , commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) [5.42%] , asset-backed securities (ABS) [5.54%] , and taxable municipals [8.84%].

 

The Portfolio outperformed its benchmark during the period . The primary driver of outperformance was security selection within investment grade credit. Within investment grade credit, an overweight to and selection within financials , particularly within banking and real estate investment trusts (REITs) issuers had a positive impact, as did selection within industrials and utilities. The Portfolio’s underweight to industrials and overweight to utilities detracted from relative returns. Yield curve positioning had a modestly negative impact on performance . Selection within U.S. government bonds had a modestly negative impact on performance . The Portfolio’s positioning in agency MBS had a positive impact on relative returns on account of an underweight to and selection within pass-throughs , but was partially offset by negative effects from an out-of-benchmark exposure to collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs). An out-of-benchmark allocation to non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS) had a slightly positive impact on relative returns. The Portfolio’s overweight to and security selection within ABS contributed to relative returns, while a modest exposure to collateralized loan obligations (CLOs) had a negligible impact . Security selection within CMBS contributed to relative returns.

 

The Portfolio ended the year with the following approximate sector allocations: 37% U.S. government, 33% MBS, 20% credit, 6% ABS, 1% CMBS, and 1% cash and cash equivalents. From a quality standpoint, 78% of the Portfolio’s assets at year-end were invested in securities rated AAA. The Portfolio ended the period with a slightly shorter effective duration than the benchmark.

The MSCI ACWI (net) Index is a free-float adjusted market capitalization index that captures large and mid cap representation across 23 developed markets and 24 emerging markets countries. MSCI uses an arbitrary sampling of stocks and aims to capture 85% of the total market capitalization at both the country and industry levels. The net index approximates the minimum possible dividend reinvestment and assumes that the dividend is reinvested after the deduction of withholding tax, applying the rate to nonresident individuals who do not benefit from double taxation treaties.

The FTSE World Government Bond Index (U.S. $ Hedged) measures the performance of fixed-rate investment grade sovereign bonds, currency hedged to the USD. The Index is a widely used benchmark that currently comprises sovereign debt from over 20 countries. The Index provides a broad benchmark for the global sovereign fixed income market.

The Blended Index consists of 65% MSCI ACWI (net) Index and 35% FTSE World Government Bond Index (U.S. $ Hedged) (the “Blended Index”).

Note: The performance data quoted represents past performance; past performance does not guarantee future results; the investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost; current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted.

The SA Wellington Strategic Multi-Asset Portfolio — Class 1 shares posted a return of 15.12% for the 12-month period ending December 31, 2023, compared to a 22.20% return for the MSCI ACWI (net) Index, a 6.42% return for the FTSE World Government Bond Index (U.S. $ hedged), and a 16.60% return for the blended benchmark. The blended benchmark is comprised of 65% MSCI ACWI (net) Index and 35% FTSE World Government Bond Index (U.S. $ Hedged).

 

The global equity portion of the Portfolio underperformed the MSCI ACWI (net) Index for the period. Sector allocation was the primary driver of relative underperformance. The Portfolio’s overweight position in the utilities sector and underweight positions in the information technology and communication services sectors detracted from relative performance. This was partially offset by underweight positions in the consumer staples and real estate sectors and an overweight position in the consumer discretionary sector, which contributed. Stock selection also detracted from relative returns. Weak selection in the information technology, consumer staples and consumer discretionary sectors was partially offset by stronger selection in the industrials, health care, and communication services sectors. From a regional perspective, stock selection within emerging markets and the United Kingdom detracted most while holdings in North America and Japan contributed. From a country perspective, stock selection in China and the United Kingdom detracted most while holdings in the United States and Switzerland contributed.

 

The global bond portion of the Portfolio underperformed the FTSE World Government Bond Index (U.S. $ Hedged) during the period. Within the global bond portion of the Portfolio, active duration, country, and currency strategies detracted from performance, while yield curve strategies were neutral to results.
