Dear Anchor Series Trust Investor:

We are pleased to present our semiannual report for the Anchor 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 Anchor Series Trust portfolios for the reporting period ended June 30, 2021. 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

Anchor Series Trust

 

 

Note: All performance figures quoted are for the Anchor 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. 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.

ANCHOR SERIES TRUST

EXPENSE EXAMPLE

June 30, 2021

(unaudited)

 

Disclosure of Portfolio Expenses in Shareholder Reports

As a shareholder of a separate series (a “Portfolio”) in the Anchor 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 January 1, 2021 and held until June 30, 2021. 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 June 30, 2021 to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. The “Expenses Paid During the Six Months Ended June 30, 2021 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 June 30, 2021 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 June 30, 2021 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 June 30, 2021 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 181 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 June 30, 2021 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 June 30, 2021 and the “Annualized Expense Ratio” would have been lower.

  Non-income producing security
*   Securities exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933. These securities may be sold in transactions exempt from registration, normally to qualified institutional buyers. The Portfolio has no right to demand registration of these securities. At June 30, 2021, the aggregate value of these securities was $9,198,468 representing 5.2% of net assets.
(1)   Perpetual maturity — maturity date reflects the next call date.
(2)   Commercial Mortgage Backed Security
(3)   Certain variable rate securities are not based on a published reference rate and spread but are determined by the issuer or agent and are based on current market conditions. These securities do not indicate a reference rate and spread in their description above.
(4)   Collateralized Mortgage Obligation
(5)   Company has filed for bankruptcy protection.
(6)   Security in default of interest.
(7)   Interest Only
(8)   Inverse Floating Rate Security that pays interest that varies inversely to changes in the market interest rates. The interest rate shown is the current interest rate at June 30, 2021.
(9)   The Portfolio invests in senior loans which generally pay interest at rates which are periodically re-determined by reference to a base lending rate plus a premium. These base lending rates are generally either the lending rate offered by one or more major European banks, such as the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or the prime rate offered by one or more major United States banks, or the certificate of deposit rate. Senior loans are generally considered to be restrictive in that the Portfolio is ordinarily contractually obligated to receive approval from the Agent Bank and/or borrower prior to the disposition of a senior loan.
(10)   Senior loans in the Portfolio are generally subject to mandatory and/or optional prepayment. Because of these mandatory prepayment conditions and because there may be significant economic incentives for a borrower to prepay, prepayments may occur. As a result, the actual remaining maturity may be substantially less than the stated maturities shown.
(11)   All loans in the Portfolio were purchased through assignment agreements unless otherwise indicated.
(12)   See Note 6 for cost of investments on a tax basis.

  Non-income producing security
(1)   Consists of more than one type of securities traded together as a unit.
(2)   Securities classified as Level 3 (see Note 2).

 

(3)   See Note 2 for details of Joint Repurchase Agreements.
(4)   See Note 6 for cost of investments on a tax basis.
(5)   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 June 30, 2021, the Portfolio held the following restricted securities:

ANCHOR SERIES TRUST

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)

June 30, 2021

 

Note 1.  Organization

Anchor Series Trust (the “Trust”), organized as a business trust under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts on August 26, 1983, is an open-end management investment company and consists of 5 separate series or portfolios (each, a “Portfolio” and collectively, the “Portfolios”). The Portfolios are managed by SunAmerica Asset Management, LLC (“SAAMCo” or the “Adviser”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of American International Group, Inc. (“AIG”). Shares of the Trust are issued and redeemed only in connection with investments in and payments under variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies (the “Variable Contracts) of American General Life Insurance Company, a Texas life insurer (“AGL”), The United States Life Insurance Company in the City of New York, a New York life insurer (“USL”), and The Variable Annuity Life Insurance Company, a Texas life insurer (“VALIC”), each an affiliated insurance company of SAAMCo; and variable contracts issued by Phoenix Life Insurance Company, an unaffiliated life insurance company. The life insurance companies listed above are collectively referred to as the “Life Companies.” All shares of the Trust are owned by “separate accounts” of the Life Companies. The Trust issues separate series of shares (the “Portfolios”), each of which represents a separate managed portfolio of securities with its own investment goal. All shares may be purchased or redeemed at net asset value without any sales or redemption charge.

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 Class 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 and Class 3 shares are subject to service fees, while Class 1 shares are not, and (iii) Class 2 and Class 3 shares have voting rights on matters that pertain to the Rule 12b-1 plan adopted with respect to Class 2 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’ average daily net assets.

The investment goal for each Portfolio is as follows:

The SA PGI Asset Allocation Portfolio seeks high total return (including income and capital gains) consistent with long-term preservation of capital. Its strategy is to invest in a diversified portfolio that may include common stocks and other securities with common stock characteristics, bonds and other intermediate and long-term fixed income securities and money market instruments.

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 Standard & Poor’s Corporation 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 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 trustees who is not an “interested person,” as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (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 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 approved 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)

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 each Portfolio’s assets and liabilities classified in the fair value hierarchy as of June 30, 2021, 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 approved 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 a Board-approved pricing service, and are generally categorized as Level 2. The pricing service 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, and maturity date, option adjusted spread models, prepayments projections, interest rate spreads, and yield curves to determine current value. If a price is unavailable from a Board-approved 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 a Board-approved 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 a Board-approved pricing service, and are generally categorized as Level 1. Option contracts traded on national securities exchanges are valued at the mean of the last bid and ask price reported by a Board-approved 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 a Board-approved 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.

The Board is responsible for the share valuation process and has adopted policies and procedures (the “PRC Procedures”) for valuing the securities and other assets held by the Portfolios, including procedures for the fair valuation of securities and other assets for which market quotations are not readily available or are unreliable. The PRC Procedures provide for the establishment of a pricing review committee, which is responsible for, among other things, making certain determinations in connection with the Trust’s fair valuation procedures. 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.

Derivative Instruments

Forward Foreign Currency Contracts: During the period, the SA Wellington Strategic Multi-Asset Portfolio used forward contracts to attempt to protect the value of securities and related receivables and payables against changes in future foreign exchange rates, to manage and/or gain exposure to certain foreign currencies and/or to attempt to enhance return.

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.

Risks to the Portfolios 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 the Portfolio’s Portfolio of Investments.

Futures: During the period, SA Wellington Government and Quality Bond and the SA Wellington Strategic Multi-Asset Portfolios used futures contracts to attempt to increase or decrease exposure to equity, bond and currency markets and to manage duration and yield curve positioning.

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 the Portfolios 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 Statements 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 the Portfolios 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, a 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 the Portfolios 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 the 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 a 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 Agreements that are in a net liability position could be material to a Portfolio’s financial statements. The Portfolios do not offset derivative assets and derivative liabilities that are subject to netting arrangements in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

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. For financial statement purposes, the Portfolios amortize all premiums and accrete all discounts on fixed income securities.

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.

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 a Portfolio’s investments in U.S. real estate investment trusts (“REITS”) often include a “return of capital” which is recorded as a reduction to the cost basis of the securities held.

Net investment 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 share at the beginning of the day (after adjusting for current capital shares 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.

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.

The Portfolios recognize 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 unrecognized 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.

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.

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 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. Mortgage-Backed Dollar Rolls outstanding at the end of the period, if any, are included in investments purchased/sold on an extended settlement basis in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Table of Contents

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. Securities purchased or sold on a when-issued or forward commitment basis outstanding at the end of the period, if any, are included in investments purchased/sold on an extended settlement basis in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

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.

LIBOR Risk: A Portfolio’s investments, payment obligations and financing terms may be based on floating rates, such as LIBOR, Euro Interbank Offered Rate and other similar types of reference rates (each, a “Reference Rate”). On July 27, 2017, the Chief Executive of the UK Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”), which regulates LIBOR, announced that the FCA will no longer persuade nor require banks to submit rates for the calculation of LIBOR and certain other Reference Rates after 2021. On March 5, 2021, the FCA and LIBOR’s administrator announced that most LIBOR settings will no longer be published after June 30, 2023. Such announcements indicate that the continuation of LIBOR and other Reference Rates on the current basis cannot and will not be guaranteed. These announcements and any additional regulatory or market changes may have an adverse impact on a Portfolio or its investments.

Regulators and market participants are working together to identify or develop successor Reference Rates. It is expected that market participants will focus on the transition mechanisms by which the Reference Rates in existing contracts or instruments may be amended, whether through market wide protocols, fallback contractual provisions, bespoke negotiations or amendments or otherwise. Nonetheless, the termination of certain Reference Rates presents risks to a Portfolio. At this time, it is not possible to completely identify or predict the effect of any such changes, any establishment of alternative Reference Rates or any other reforms to Reference Rates that may be enacted in the UK or elsewhere. The elimination of a Reference Rate or any other changes or reforms to the determination or supervision of Reference Rates, and these changes could have an adverse impact on the market for or value of any securities or payments linked to those Reference Rates and other financial obligations held by a Portfolio or on its overall financial condition or results of operations. In addition, any substitute Reference Rate and any pricing adjustments imposed by a regulator or by counterparties or otherwise may adversely affect a Portfolio’s performance and/or net asset value.

Recent Accounting and Regulatory Developments: In March 2020, FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848); Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, which provides, optional, temporary relief with respect to the financial reporting of contracts subject to certain types of modifications due to the planned discontinuation of the LIBOR and LIBOR based reference rates as of the end of 2021. The temporary relief provided by ASU 2020-04 is effective for certain reference rate-related contract modifications that occur during the period March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. Management is evaluating the potential impact of ASU 2020-04 to the financial statements.

On December 3, 2020, the SEC announced that it voted to adopt a new rule that establishes an updated regulatory framework for fund valuation practices (the “Rule”). The Rule, in part, provides (i) a framework for determining fair value in good faith and (ii) provides for a fund Board’s assignment of its responsibility for the execution of valuation-related activities to a fund’s investment adviser. Further, the SEC is rescinding previously issued guidance on related issues. The Rule will become effective 60 days after publication in the Federal Register, and will have a compliance date 18 months following the effective date. Management is currently evaluating the Rule and its impact to the Portfolios

Note 3.  Investment Advisory Agreement and Other Transactions with Affiliates

The Trust has entered into an Investment Advisory and Management Agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with SAAMCo with respect to each Portfolio.

Class 2 and Class 3 shares of each Portfolio are subject to a Rule 12b-1 plan that provides for service fees payable at the annual rate of 0.15% and 0.25%, respectively of the average daily net assets of such Class 2 and Class 3 shares, respectively. The service fees will be used to compensate the Life Companies for expenditures made to financial intermediaries for providing services to contract holders who are the indirect beneficial owners of the Portfolios’ Class 2 and Class 3 shares.

The Trust has entered into a Master Transfer Agency and Services Agreement with VALIC Retirement Services Company (“VRSCO”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Variable Annuity Life Insurance Company (“VALIC”), which is an affiliate of the Adviser. Under the agreement, VRSCO provides services, which include the issuance and redemption of shares, payment of dividends between the Trust and their “institutional” shareholders and certain shareholder reporting services including confirmation of transactions, statements of account and tax reporting. The Trust, and certain other mutual funds advised by SAAMCo pay VRSCO an annual fee in the aggregate amount of $150,000 for Transfer Agency Services provided pursuant to the agreement, which is allocated based on shareholder accounts. Accordingly, for the six months ended June 30, 2021, transfer agent fees were paid (see Statement of Operations) based on the aforementioned agreement.

SAAMCo has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses, if necessary, for the SA Wellington Strategic Multi-Asset Portfolio, so that the annual operating expenses do not exceed 0.86% for Class 1 shares and 1.11% for Class 3 shares, respectively. For the purposes of waived fee and/or reimbursed expense calculations, annual operating expenses shall not include extraordinary expenses (i.e., expenses that are unusual in nature and infrequent in occurrence, such as litigation), or acquired fund fees and expenses, brokerage commissions and other transactional expenses relating to the purchase and sale of portfolio securities, interest, taxes and governmental fees, and other expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of a Portfolio’s business. Any waivers and/or reimbursements made by SAAMCo with respect to the SA Wellington Strategic Multi-Asset Portfolio other than investment advisory fees waived, are subject to recoupment from a Portfolio within two years after the occurrence of the waivers and/or reimbursements, provided that a Portfolio is able to effect such payment to SAAMCo and remains in compliance with the contractual expense limitations in effect at the time the waivers and/or reimbursements were made. The contractual fee waivers and/or expense limitations may be modified or discontinued prior to April 30, 2021, only with the approval of the Board. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, pursuant to the contractual expense limitations mentioned above, SAAMCo waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses as follows:

Note 8.  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

Table of Contents

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 has paid State Street for its own account, the 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 six months ended June 30, 2021, the Portfolios did not utilize the line of credit.

Note 9.  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 six months ended June 30, 2021, none of the Portfolios participated in this program.

Note 10.  Investment Concentration

The SA Wellington Strategic Multi-Asset Portfolio invests 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.

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 fund 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 and SA PGI Asset Allocation Portfolio concentration in such investments, these portfolios may be subject to risks associated with U.S. Government agencies or instrumentalities.

Note 11.  Security Transactions with Affiliated Portfolios

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 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 the customary transfer fees), or other remuneration is paid in connection with such transaction. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, the following Portfolios engaged in security transactions with affiliated Portfolios:

Note 12.  Other Matters

The coronavirus pandemic and the related governmental and public responses have had and may continue to have an impact on the Portfolio’s investments and net asset value and have led and may continue to lead to increased market volatility and the potential for illiquidity in certain classes of securities and sectors of the market. Preventative or protective actions that governments may take in respect of pandemic or epidemic diseases may result in periods of business disruption, business closures, inability to obtain raw materials, supplies and component parts, and reduced or disrupted operations for the issuers in which the Portfolio invests. Government intervention in markets may impact interest rates, market volatility and security pricing. The occurrence, reoccurrence and pendency of such diseases could adversely affect the economies (including through changes in business activity and increased unemployment) and financial markets either in specific countries or worldwide.

The Board of Trustees of Anchor Series Trust (“AST”) and the Board of Trustees of SunAmerica Series Trust (“SAST”), on behalf of each of their respective Portfolios below, (each, a “Target Portfolio”), have each determined that it is in the best interests of each of its respective Target Portfolios to reorganize into a series of SAST (each, an “Acquiring Portfolio”). Each proposed transaction is referred to as a “Reorganization”. The Target Portfolio and the Acquiring Portfolio for each Reorganization are shown in the tables below. Each Target Portfolio expects to convene a special meeting of its shareholders on or about October 27, 2021 to vote on the approval of its

Reorganization. Upon the closing of each Reorganization, shareholders of each Target Portfolio will receive shares of the corresponding Acquiring Portfolio, the total value of which will be equal to the total value of their shares of the Target Portfolio on the date of the Reorganization, and the Target Portfolio will liquidate and cease operations.

ANCHOR SERIES TRUST

STATEMENT REGARDING LIQUIDITY RISK MANAGEMENT PROGRAM

 

 

Pursuant to Rule 22e-4 under the 1940 Act, the Portfolios have adopted a liquidity risk management program. SunAmerica Asset Management, LLC (the “Adviser” or “SunAmerica”), the investment adviser to the Trust, has been designated by the Board to administer the Portfolios’ liquidity risk management program (the “Program”). The Adviser has appointed a Liquidity Risk Management Committee (the “Committee”) comprised of certain officers as well as certain personnel of the Adviser. The Committee is subject to the oversight of the Adviser. The Adviser and the Committee are referred to collectively herein as the “Program Administrator.” The Program is designed to assess, manage and periodically review each Portfolio’s liquidity risk, based on factors specific to the circumstances of each Portfolio. “Liquidity risk” means the risk that a Portfolio could not meet requests to redeem shares issued by the Portfolio without significant dilution of remaining investors’ interests in the Portfolio. During the fiscal year, the Program Administrator provided the Board with a report addressing the operations of the program and assessing its adequacy and effectiveness of implementation.

During the period covered by the liquidity Program report to the Board, the Program supported each Portfolio’s ability to honor redemption requests timely and the Adviser’s management of each Portfolio’s liquidity profile, including during periods of market volatility and net redemptions. The Program Administrator reported that it has reviewed the Program and believes that the Program is reasonably designed to assess and manage the liquidity risk of each Portfolio, that the Program has been effectively implemented to monitor and respond to liquidity developments (where necessary) and is operating effectively, and that the Program addresses potential liquidity risks in connection with the management of the Portfolios. Furthermore, the Program Administrator reported that each Portfolio operated as a “Primarily Highly Liquid Fund” during the review period, and therefore, did not have to comply with the Highly Liquid Investment Minimum requirements. Finally, the Program Administrator reported that each Portfolio had no breaches of the limit on illiquid investments, and therefore, no Board notification or regulatory filings were required.

There can be no assurance that the Program will achieve its objectives in the future. Please refer to your Portfolio’s prospectus for more information regarding the Portfolio’s exposure to liquidity risk and other principal risks to which an investment in the Portfolio may be subject.

ANCHOR SERIES TRUST

APPROVAL OF THE INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND MANAGEMENT

AGREEMENT AND SUBADVISORY AGREEMENTS – (unaudited)

 

The Board of Trustees (the “Board,” the members of which are referred to as “Trustees”) of Anchor Series Trust (the “Trust”), including the Trustees who are not “interested persons,” as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) (the “Independent Trustees”), of the Trust or its separate series (each, a “Portfolio” and collectively, the “Portfolios”), SunAmerica Asset Management, LLC (“SunAmerica”), Principal Global Investors, LLC (“PGI”) or Wellington Management Company LLP (“Wellington” and together with PGI, the “Subadvisers”), approved the continuation of the Investment Advisory and Management Agreement between the Trust, on behalf of the Portfolios, and SunAmerica (the “Advisory Agreement”) for a one-year period ending June 30, 2022 at a meeting held on June 8-9, 2021 (the “Meeting”).1 The Trust currently consists of the following four separate Portfolios: SA Wellington Government and Quality Bond Portfolio (“Government and Quality Bond Portfolio”), SA Wellington Strategic Multi-Asset Portfolio (“Strategic Multi-Asset Portfolio”), SA Wellington Capital Appreciation Portfolio (“Capital Appreciation Portfolio”) and SA PGI Asset Allocation Portfolio (“Asset Allocation Portfolio”).

At the Meeting, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, also approved the continuation of the Subadvisory Agreement between SunAmerica and Wellington with respect to the Government and Quality Bond Portfolio, Strategic Multi-Asset Portfolio and Capital Appreciation Portfolio and the Subadvisory Agreement between SunAmerica and PGI with respect to the Asset Allocation Portfolio (the “Subadvisory Agreements,” and together with the Advisory Agreement, the “Agreements”), each for a one-year period ending June 30, 2022.

Prior to the June 8-9, 2021 meeting at which the Agreements were approved, the Board also discussed and considered information regarding the proposed continuation of the Agreements at a meeting held on May 18, 2021.

In accordance with Section 15(c) of the 1940 Act, the Board requested, and SunAmerica and the Subadvisers provided, materials relating to the Board’s consideration of whether to approve the continuation of the Agreements. These materials included: (a) a summary of the services provided to the Portfolios by SunAmerica and its affiliates, and by the Subadvisers; (b) information independently compiled and prepared by Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (“Broadridge”), an independent third-party provider of mutual fund data, on fees and expenses of the Portfolios, and the investment performance of the Portfolios as compared with a peer group of funds, along with fee and performance data with respect to the Portfolios and any other mutual funds or other accounts advised or subadvised by SunAmerica or the Subadvisers with similar investment objectives and/or strategies, as applicable; (c) information on the profitability of SunAmerica and its affiliates, and a discussion relating to indirect benefits; (d) information relating to economies of scale; (e) information about SunAmerica’s general compliance policies and procedures and the services it provides in connection with its oversight of subadvisers; (f) information about SunAmerica’s and the Subadvisers’ risk management processes; (g) information regarding brokerage and soft dollar practices; and (h) information about the key personnel of SunAmerica, and its affiliates, and the Subadvisers, 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.

In determining whether to approve the continuation of the Agreements, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, considered at the Meeting, and from time to time as appropriate, factors it deemed relevant, including the following information:

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by SunAmerica and the Subadvisers.    The Board, including the Independent Trustees, considered the nature, extent and quality of services provided by SunAmerica. The Board noted that the services include acting as investment manager and adviser to the Portfolios, managing the daily business affairs of the Portfolios, and obtaining and evaluating economic, statistical and financial information to formulate and implement investment policies. Additionally, the Board observed that SunAmerica provides office space, bookkeeping, accounting, legal and compliance, clerical and administrative services, and has authorized its officers and employees, if elected, to serve as officers or Trustees of the Trust without compensation. The Board also noted that SunAmerica is responsible for monitoring and reviewing the activities of affiliated and unaffiliated third-party service providers, including the Subadvisers. In addition to the quality of the advisory services provided by SunAmerica, the Board considered the quality of the administrative and other services provided by SunAmerica to the Portfolios pursuant to the Advisory Agreement. The Board further considered the significant risks assumed by SunAmerica in connection with the services provided to the Portfolios, including entrepreneurial risk in sponsoring new funds and ongoing risks such as operational, reputational, liquidity, litigation, regulatory and compliance risks with respect to all Portfolios.

 

1    On March 25, 2020 and June 19, 2020, as a result of health and safety measures put in place to combat the global COVID-19 pandemic, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued exemptive orders (the “Orders”) pursuant to Sections 6(c) and 38(a) of the 1940 Act, that temporarily exempt registered investment management companies from the in-person voting requirements under the 1940 Act, subject to certain requirements, including that votes taken pursuant to the Orders are ratified at the next in-person meeting. The Board determined that reliance on the Orders was necessary or appropriate due to the circumstances related to current or potential effects of COVID-19 and therefore, the June meeting was held telephonically in reliance on the Orders.

In connection with the services provided by SunAmerica, the Board analyzed the structure and duties of SunAmerica’s fund administration, accounting, operations, legal and compliance departments and concluded that they were adequate to meet the needs of the Portfolios. The Board also reviewed the personnel responsible for providing advisory services to the Portfolios and other key personnel of SunAmerica, in addition to current and projected staffing levels and compensation practices. The Board concluded, based on its experience and interaction with SunAmerica, that: (i) SunAmerica would continue to be able to retain quality investment and other personnel; (ii) SunAmerica has exhibited a high level of diligence and attention to detail in carrying out its advisory and other responsibilities under the Advisory Agreement; (iii) SunAmerica has been responsive to requests of the Board; and (iv) SunAmerica has kept the Board apprised of developments relating to the Portfolios and the industry in general. The Board concluded that the nature and extent of services provided under the Advisory Agreement were reasonable and appropriate in relation to the management fee and that the quality of services continues to be high.

The Board also considered SunAmerica’s reputation and long-standing relationship with the Portfolios 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 considered SunAmerica’s experience in providing management and investment advisory and administrative services to advisory clients and noted that as of March 31, 2021, SunAmerica managed, advised and/or administered approximately $91.6 billion in assets. In addition, the Board considered SunAmerica’s code of ethics and its commitment to compliance generally and with respect to its management and administration of the Portfolios. The Board also considered SunAmerica’s risk management processes. The Board also considered the performance of certain portions of the business continuity plan which have been invoked in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Board further observed that SunAmerica has developed internal procedures for monitoring compliance with the investment objectives, policies and restrictions of the Portfolios as set forth in the Portfolios’ prospectuses. The Board also reviewed SunAmerica’s compliance and regulatory history, and noted that there were no material legal, regulatory or compliance issues that would potentially impact SunAmerica in effectively serving as the investment adviser to the Portfolios.

The Board also considered the nature, extent and quality of services provided by each Subadviser to the applicable Portfolios. The Board observed that the Subadvisers are responsible for providing day-to-day investment management services, including investment research, advice and supervision, and determining which securities will be purchased or sold by the Portfolio that each Subadviser manages, subject to the oversight and review of SunAmerica. The Board reviewed each Subadviser’s history, structure, size, visibility and resources, which are needed to attract and retain highly qualified investment professionals. The Board reviewed the personnel who are responsible for providing subadvisory services to the Portfolios, and other key personnel of each Subadviser, in addition to current and projected staffing levels and compensation practices, and concluded, based on its experience with the Subadvisers, that each Subadviser: (i) has been able to retain high quality portfolio managers and other investment personnel; (ii) has exhibited a high level of diligence and attention to detail in carrying out its responsibilities under the applicable Subadvisory Agreement; and (iii) has been responsive to requests of the Board and of SunAmerica. In addition, the Board considered each Subadviser’s code of ethics and risk management processes. The Board further observed that each Subadviser has developed internal policies and procedures for monitoring compliance with the investment objectives, policies and restrictions of the Portfolios as set forth in the Portfolios’ prospectuses. The Board also reviewed each Subadviser’s compliance and regulatory history, and noted that there were no material legal, regulatory or compliance issues that would potentially impact the Subadvisers in effectively serving as subadvisers to the Portfolios. The Board concluded that the nature and extent of services provided by each Subadviser under the respective Subadvisory Agreement were reasonable and appropriate in relation to the subadvisory fee and that the quality of services continues to be high.

Investment Performance.    The Board, including the Independent Trustees, also considered the investment performance of SunAmerica and the Subadvisers with respect to the Portfolios. In connection with its review, the Board received and reviewed information regarding the investment performance of the Portfolios as compared to each Portfolio’s peer group (“Peer Group”) and/or peer universe (“Peer Universe”) as independently determined by Broadridge and to an appropriate index or combination of indices, including the Portfolios’ benchmarks. The Board was provided with a description of the methodology used by Broadridge to select the funds in the Peer Groups and Peer Universes.

The Board noted that performance information was for the period ended March 31, 2021. The Board also noted that it regularly reviews the performance of the Portfolios throughout the year. The Board further noted that, while it monitors performance of the Portfolios closely, it generally attaches more importance to performance over relatively long periods of time, typically three to five years. The Board noted that while it found the data provided by Broadridge generally useful, it recognized its limitations, including in particular that the data may vary depending on the end date selected and that the results of performance comparisons may vary depending on the selection of the peer group. The Board also took into account management’s plans to reorganize the Portfolios into other funds managed by SunAmerica.

Asset Allocation Portfolio.    The Board considered that the Portfolio’s performance was below the medians of its Peer Group and Universe for the one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods. The Board further noted that the Portfolio underperformed its Broadridge Index for the one-, three- and five-year periods and outperformed its Broadridge Index for the ten-year period. The Board noted management’s discussion of the Portfolio’s performance, including the impact of market conditions on the Portfolio’s performance, and concluded that the Portfolio’s performance is being appropriately monitored.

Capital Appreciation Portfolio.    The Board considered that the Portfolio’s performance was below the median of its Peer Group for the one-, three- and five-year periods, and equaled the median of its Peer Group for the ten-year period. The Board also noted that the Portfolio’s performance was above the median of its Peer Universe for the one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods. The Board further noted that the Portfolio outperformed its Broadridge Index for the one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods. The Board noted management’s discussion of the Portfolio’s performance, and concluded that the Fund’s performance is satisfactory.

Government and Quality Bond Portfolio.    The Board considered that the Portfolio’s performance was above the median of its Peer Group for the one- and three-year periods and below the median of its Peer Group for the five- and ten-year periods. The Board also noted that the Portfolio’s performance was above the median of its Peer Universe for the one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods. The Board further noted that the Portfolio outperformed its Broadridge Index for the one-, three-, five-, and ten-year periods. The Board noted management’s discussion of the Fund’s performance, and concluded that the Fund’s performance is satisfactory.

Strategic Multi-Asset Portfolio.    The Board considered that the Fund’s performance was below the median of its Peer Group for the one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods. The Board also considered that the Fund’s performance was below the median of its Performance Universe for the one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods. The Board further noted that the Fund underperformed its Broadridge Index for the one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods. The Board noted management’s discussion of the Fund’s performance, including the impact of market conditions on the Fund’s performance, and concluded that the Fund’s performance is being appropriately monitored.

While the Board noted its concern with respect to the performance of certain of the Portfolios, it also considered that appropriate resources were being dedicated to address these performance concerns. The Board further noted that it would continue to evaluate each such Portfolio’s overall performance and also noted management’s plans to reorganize the Portfolios into other funds managed by SunAmerica.

Consideration of the Management Fees and Subadvisory Fees and the Cost of the Services and Profits to be Realized by SunAmerica, the Subadvisers and their Affiliates from the Relationship with the Portfolios.    The Board, including the Independent Trustees, received and reviewed information regarding the fees paid by the Portfolios to SunAmerica pursuant to the Advisory Agreement and the fees paid by SunAmerica to the Subadvisers pursuant to the Subadvisory Agreements. The Board examined this information in order to determine the reasonableness of the fees in light of the nature and quality of services to be provided and any potential additional benefits to be received by SunAmerica, the Subadvisers or their affiliates in connection with providing such services to the Portfolios.

To assist in analyzing the reasonableness of the management fee for each of the Portfolios, the Board received reports independently prepared by Broadridge. The reports showed comparative fee information for each Portfolio’s Peer Group and/or Peer Universe, as determined by Broadridge, including rankings within each category. In considering the reasonableness of the management fee to be paid by each Portfolio to SunAmerica, the Board reviewed a number of expense comparisons, including: (i) contractual and actual management fees; and (ii) actual total operating expenses. In considering the Portfolios’ total operating expenses, the Board analyzed the level of fee waivers and expense reimbursements and the net expense caps contractually agreed upon by SunAmerica with respect to the Strategic Multi-Asset Portfolio. The Board further considered that, unlike the funds in the Strategic Multi-Asset Portfolio’s Peer Group and Peer Universe, the fee waivers and/or reimbursements being made by SunAmerica with respect to the Portfolio are only reflected in the total expenses category of the Broadridge reports, rather than also being reflected as a specific management fee waiver in the actual management fee category of the Broadridge reports. As a result, the Board took into account that the actual management fees presented by Broadridge for the Strategic Multi-Asset Portfolio in its Peer Group and Peer Universe may appear lower on a relative basis. The Board also considered the various expense components of the Portfolios and compared each Portfolio’s net expense ratio (taking into account any contractual fee caps and waivers) to those of other funds within its Peer Group and/or Peer Universe as a guide to help assess the reasonableness of the management fee for the Portfolios. The Board acknowledged that it was difficult to make precise comparisons with other funds in the Peer Groups and Peer Universes since the exact nature of services provided under the various fund agreements is often not apparent. The Board noted, however, that the comparative fee information provided by Broadridge as a whole was useful in assessing whether SunAmerica was providing services at a cost that was competitive with other, similar funds.

The Board also considered management fees received by SunAmerica with respect to other mutual funds and accounts with similar investment strategies to the Portfolios, as applicable. The Board noted that the mutual funds identified as similar to the Portfolios are sold only in the variable annuity market and, accordingly, are in different Broadridge classifications, with peer groups consisting of funds underlying variable insurance products. The Board noted that the management fees paid by the Portfolios were reasonable as compared to the fees SunAmerica was receiving from other mutual funds and accounts for which it serves as adviser or subadviser.

The Board also received and reviewed information regarding the fees paid by SunAmerica to the Subadvisers pursuant to the Subadvisory Agreements. To assist in analyzing the reasonableness of the subadvisory fees, the Board received a report prepared independently by Broadridge. The report showed comparative fee information for the Portfolios’ Peer Groups and/or Peer Universes that the Trustees used as a guide to help assess the reasonableness of the subadvisory fees. The Trustees noted that Peer Group information as a whole was useful in assessing whether the Subadvisers were providing services at a cost that was competitive with other similar funds. The Trustees also considered that the subadvisory fees are paid by SunAmerica out of its management fee and not by the Portfolios, and that subadvisory fees may vary widely within a Peer Group 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 out by SunAmerica and the amount of the management fees which it retained and determined that these amounts were reasonable in light of the services performed by SunAmerica and the Subadvisers, respectively.

The Board also considered advisory fees received by the Subadvisers with respect to other mutual funds and accounts with similar investment strategies to the Portfolio or Portfolios for which they serve as adviser or subadviser, as applicable. The Board noted in particular that Wellington provided its standard institutional fee schedules used for accounts with similar strategies, and Wellington highlighted certain differences between institutional accounts and the applicable Portfolios, including that these accounts are subject to different investment limitations and restrictions and do not experience daily cash flows in a manner similar to the Portfolios. The Board

also recognized that, with respect to the Asset Allocation Portfolio, the similar accounts identified by PGI utilize a fund of funds structure, which increases overall expenses due to additional fees in the underlying funds held and that these material differences make performance and fee comparisons with the Portfolio less meaningful. The Board then noted that the subadvisory fees paid by SunAmerica to the Subadvisers were reasonable as compared to fees the Subadvisers receive for other such investment companies or clients for which they serve as adviser or subadviser.

Asset Allocation Portfolio.    The Board considered that the Portfolio’s actual management fees were above the medians of its Peer Group and Peer Universe. The Board also considered that the Portfolio’s total expenses were above the medians of its Peer Group and Peer Universe. The Board noted that the Fund’s advisory fee contains breakpoints and further noted management’s discussion regarding the Fund’s expenses.

Capital Appreciation Portfolio.    The Board considered that the Portfolio’s actual management fees were above the medians of its Peer Group and Peer Universe. The Board also considered that the Portfolio’s total expenses were above the medians of its Peer Group and Peer Universe. The Board noted that the Fund’s advisory fee contains breakpoints and further noted management’s discussion regarding the Fund’s expenses.

Government and Quality Bond Portfolio.    The Board considered that the Portfolio’s actual management fees were above the medians of its Peer Group and Peer Universe. The Board also considered that the Portfolio’s total expenses were above the medians of its Peer Group and Peer Universe. The Board noted that the Portfolio’s advisory fee contains breakpoints and further noted management’s discussion regarding the Portfolio’s expenses.

Strategic Multi-Asset Portfolio.    The Board considered that the Portfolio’s actual management fees were above the medians of its Peer Group and Peer Universe. The Board also considered that the Portfolio’s total expenses were above the medians of its Peer Group and Peer Universe. The Board noted that the Fund’s advisory fee contains breakpoints and that SunAmerica has agreed to waive certain fees and cap the Fund’s total expenses. The Board further noted management’s discussion regarding the Fund’s expenses.

Profitability.    The Board also considered SunAmerica’s profitability and the benefits SunAmerica and its affiliates received from their relationship with the Portfolios. The Board received and reviewed financial statements relating to SunAmerica’s financial condition and profitability with respect to the services it provided the Portfolios and considered how profit margins could affect SunAmerica’s ability to attract and retain high quality investment professionals and other key personnel. The Board was also provided with a profitability analysis that detailed the revenue earned and the expenses incurred by SunAmerica, and its affiliates that provide services to the Portfolios on a Portfolio-by-Portfolio basis, as well as an Investment Management Profitability Analysis prepared by an independent information service, Broadridge. In particular, the Board considered the contractual fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements agreed to by SunAmerica.

The Board considered the profitability of SunAmerica under the Advisory Agreement, including the amount of management fees it retained after payment to the Subadvisers, and considered the profitability of SunAmerica’s affiliates under the Rule 12b-1 Plans. The Board also considered that the Trust pays VALIC Retirement Services Company, an affiliate of SunAmerica, a fee for the provision of recordkeeping and shareholder services to contract owners and participants. Additionally, the Board considered whether SunAmerica, the Subadvisers and their affiliates received any indirect benefits from the relationship with the Portfolios. Specifically, the Board observed that, SunAmerica and affiliated insurance companies have entered into arrangements, including arrangements relating to services provided by the insurance companies with respect to certain funds that are available as investment options in annuity products (including the Portfolios). The Board further observed that in calculating their corporate income tax liability as insurance companies, certain affiliated life insurance companies receive a tax benefit with respect to dividends paid by the Portfolios. In addition, it was noted that such affiliated life insurance companies may also rely on foreign tax credits with respect to certain foreign securities held in applicable Portfolios. The Board also noted that certain affiliated life insurance companies also receive financial support from SunAmerica and certain Subadvisers for distribution-related activities, including payments to help offset costs for education and training to support sales of the Portfolios, as well as occasional gifts, entertainment or other compensation as incentives and that such payments may be derived from investment management fees received by SunAmerica or Subadvisers. In addition, the Board considered that, since shares are offered as investment options through variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies (“Variable Contracts), the investment goals and strategies of the Portfolios, and performance of such Portfolios, may positively or negatively impact an affiliated life insurance company’s ability to hedge, as well as the hedging costs associated with guarantees that an affiliated life insurance company may provide as the issuer of the Variable Contracts.

The Board further considered whether there were any collateral or “fall-out” benefits that SunAmerica and its affiliates may derive as a result of their relationship with the Portfolios. The Board noted that SunAmerica believes that any such benefits are de minimis and do not impact the reasonableness of the management fees.

The Board also reviewed the Subadvisers’ financial statements and/or other information and considered whether the Subadvisers had the financial resources necessary to attract and retain high quality investment management personnel and to provide a high quality of services.

The Board concluded that SunAmerica and the Subadvisers had the financial resources necessary to perform their obligations under the Agreements and to continue to provide the Portfolios with the high quality services that they had provided in the past. The Board also concluded that the management fee and subadvisory fees were reasonable in light of the factors discussed above.

Economies of Scale.    The Board, including the Independent Trustees, considered whether the shareholders would benefit from economies of scale and whether there was potential for future realization of economies with respect to the Portfolios. The Board considered that as a result of being part of the AIG fund complex, the Portfolios share common resources and may share certain expenses, and if the size of the complex increases, each Portfolio could incur lower expenses than they otherwise would achieve as stand-alone entities. The Board also took into account that the management fee arrangements included breakpoints that will adjust the fee downward as the size of the Portfolios increase, thereby allowing the shareholders to participate in any economies of scale. The Board further noted that SunAmerica has agreed to contractually cap the total annual operating expenses of Class 1 and Class 3 shares of the Strategic Multi-Asset Portfolio at certain levels. The Board observed that those expense caps benefited shareholders by limiting total fees even in the absence of breakpoints. The Board concluded that the Portfolios’ management fee structures were reasonable and that it would continue to review fees in connection with the renewal of the Advisory Agreement, including whether the implementation of additional breakpoints would be appropriate in the future due to an increase in asset size or otherwise.

The Board noted that the Subadvisory Agreements included breakpoints, but did not review specific information regarding whether there have been economies of scale with respect to the Subadvisers’ management of the Portfolios because it regards that information as less relevant at the subadviser level since SunAmerica, and not the Funds, is responsible for paying the subadvisory fees. Rather, the Board considered information regarding economies of scale in the context of the renewal of the Advisory Agreement and concluded that the management fee structure, including the amount of management fees retained by SunAmerica, was reasonable in light of the factors described above.

Other Factors.    In consideration of the Agreements, the Board also received information regarding SunAmerica’s and the Subadvisers’ brokerage and soft dollar practices. The Board considered that the Subadvisers are responsible for decisions to buy and sell securities for the Portfolios they manage, selection of broker-dealers and negotiation of commission rates. The Board noted that it receives reports from SunAmerica and from an independent third party which include information on brokerage commissions and execution throughout the year. The Board also considered the benefits SunAmerica and the Subadvisers derive from their soft dollar arrangements, including arrangements under which brokers provide brokerage and/or research services to SunAmerica and/or the Subadvisers in return for allocating brokerage.

Conclusion.    After a full and complete discussion, the Board approved the Agreements, each for a one-year period ending June 30, 2022. Based upon their evaluation of all these factors in their totality, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, was satisfied that the terms of the Agreements were fair and reasonable and in the best interests of the Portfolios and the Portfolios’ shareholders. In arriving at a decision to approve the Agreements, the Board did not identify any single factor or group of factors as all-important or controlling, but considered all factors together, and each Independent Trustee may have attributed different weights to different factors. The Independent Trustees were also assisted by the advice of independent legal counsel in making this determination.

The Board of Trustees of Anchor Series Trust (“AST”), on behalf of each of the SA PGI Asset Allocation Portfolio, the SA Wellington Capital Appreciation Portfolio, the SA Wellington Government and Quality Bond Portfolio and the SA Wellington Strategic Multi-Asset Portfolio, and the Board of Trustees of SunAmerica Series Trust (“SAST”), on behalf of each of the SA Columbia Technology Portfolio and the SA WellsCap Aggressive Growth Portfolio, (each, a “Target Portfolio”), have each determined that it is in the best interests of each of its respective Target Portfolios to reorganize into an existing series (each, an “Existing Acquiring Portfolio”) or a shell series (each, a “Shell Acquiring Portfolio”) of SAST, as shown in the table below. Each Shell Acquiring Portfolio in the table below will have the same investment objectives, strategies and policies as the Target Portfolio of the same name. Each proposed transaction is referred to as a “Reorganization” and each Shell Acquiring Portfolio and Existing Acquiring Portfolio is referred to as an “Acquiring Portfolio.”

In each Reorganization, all of the Target Portfolio’s assets and liabilities would be transferred to the respective Acquiring Portfolio in exchange for shares of the Acquiring Portfolio. If the Reorganization is completed, shareholders of the Target Portfolio will receive shares of the respective Acquiring Portfolio, the total value of which will be equal to the total value of their shares of the Target Portfolio on the date of the Reorganization, after which the Target Portfolio will cease operations.

Each Target Portfolio expects to convene a special meeting of its shareholders on or about October 27, 2021 to vote on the approval of its Reorganization. Shareholders of record of each Target Portfolio as of August 3, 2021 (the “Record Date”), are entitled to notice of and to vote at the special meeting, and they will receive proxy materials describing the relevant Reorganization. The Reorganization of the SA Columbia Technology Portfolio is contingent upon the Reorganization of the SA Wellington Capital Appreciation Portfolio. No other Reorganization of a Target Portfolio is contingent upon the Reorganization of any other Target Portfolio.

Until a Reorganization is completed, each Target Portfolio will continue sales and redemptions of its shares as described in its Prospectus. However, holders of shares purchased after the Record Date set for each special meeting of shareholders will not be entitled to vote those shares at the special meeting.
