SUNAMERICA SERIES TRUST
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,
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

SUNAMERICA SERIES TRUST
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. |

(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
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.
Past performance is no guarantee of future results.
Securities listed may or may not be a part of current Portfolio construction.

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.

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 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.
