A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT — (unaudited)
Dear Shareholders:
All of us at AIG and SunAmerica Asset Management, along with our Fund subadvisers, hope this annual report finds you and yours safe and well during these challenging times.
As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve, know that we remain focused on serving our Fund shareholders. As such, we are pleased to present this annual update for SunAmerica Series, Inc. (the "Series"), including the AIG Multi-Asset Allocation Fund, AIG Active Allocation Fund, AIG Focused Dividend Strategy Fund, AIG Strategic Value Fund and AIG Select Dividend Growth Fund (the "Funds"), covering the 12-month period ended October 31, 2020.
Overall, global bonds and global equities advanced, while commodities generated negative returns. Virtually all asset classes saw volatility surge during the annual period.
Global equities rose as the annual period began in November 2019. In our view, waning recession fears and forecasts for improving global economic growth in 2020 helped bolster investor sentiment, while geopolitics and trade disputes, especially between the U.S. and China, persisted as major drivers of market volatility. In December 2019, the U.S. Administration announced that a "Phase One" trade deal with China had been agreed to in principle, providing significant relief to global markets. U.S. equities were further supported by accommodative U.S. Federal Reserve ("Fed") policy. The Fed had lowered interest rates by 25 basis points† in October 2019, its third interest rate cut of the calendar year, but then left rates unchanged for the remainder of the fourth quarter.
Most global equity markets continued to advance as 2020 began, with U.S. equities achieving record highs in February. However, as COVID-19 spread rapidly across the globe, it caused unprecedented disruption to financial markets and economies and soured trade deal optimism between the U.S. and China. Thus, global equities ended the first quarter of 2020 significantly lower. Exacerbating matters was the plunging of the price of oil to its lowest level since 2002, as the world's largest oil producers failed to agree on reducing output as demand collapsed. Most central banks and governments took extraordinary measures in an effort to limit financial market stress, mitigate the economic fallout and cushion household and business income. The U.S. Fed cut the targeted federal funds rate to near zero and increased the scope of its asset purchase program. Many other developed market central banks also added accommodation, while several emerging market central banks embarked on quantitative easing for the first time. On the fiscal front, the U.S. government enacted a $2 trillion relief bill, unleashing a massive stimulus plan to stem economic damage. For the quarter, U.S. equities, as represented by the S&P 500 Index*, suffered its fastest-ever decline into a bear market but surged to its best weekly gain in 11 years at the end of the March 2020 on Fed and U.S. government emergency stimulus action. Still, the late surge was not enough to pull the U.S. equity market out of significant losses for the quarter.
Then, in yet another sharp reversal, global equities saw their best quarterly return since December 1999 in the second quarter of 2020 and continued to rise during the third quarter of 2020. Markets were fueled by optimism around successful early-stage trials for a potential COVID-19 vaccine, ongoing fiscal and monetary stimulus and signs global economic activity was improving. As new COVID-19 cases declined in most countries, governments shifted their focus toward gradually lifting lockdown restrictions, even as new cases rose significantly in some areas of the U.S. and as India and much of Latin America struggled to bring the coronavirus under control. Also, oil prices rebounded as the global economy appeared to begin to recover. In the second calendar quarter, U.S. equities rallied to their largest quarterly gain since the fourth quarter of 1998, even as the National Bureau of Economic Research declared in June that a U.S. economic recession had officially begun in February 2020. U.S. equities extended their strong rally in the third calendar quarter, buoyed by better than consensus expected corporate earnings. Still, volatility remained high, as the U.S. grappled with political uncertainty ahead of the November presidential election and the lack of additional fiscal stimulus.

A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT — (unaudited) (continued)
The roller coaster continued, as global equity markets, including the U.S. equity market, then fell in October 2020. Corporate earnings results for many companies that reported in October came in above consensus expectations. However, expectations had been heightened by reports the U.S. economy had grown robustly in the third calendar quarter as businesses resumed activity postponed or restricted by COVID-19. Also, political uncertainty surrounding U.S. elections and spikes in COVID-19 positivity, hospitalization and mortality rates in the U.S. and around the world proved sources of volatility.
The broad global fixed income market posted a positive return for the annual period overall. Despite accommodative central bank policies, government bond yields increased across most markets in the last months of 2019, as global activity indicators stabilized and trade negotiations seemed to progress. Government bond yields in several developed markets, including the U.S., then fell to record lows in the first quarter of 2020, as the COVID-19 pandemic sparked fears of a global economic recession and major central banks engaged in an aggressive easing cycle. Most global government bond yields remained largely range-bound near record lows across most developed markets in the second quarter of 2020, supported by extremely accommodative central bank purchase programs. In the last four months of the annual period, yield curves steepened, led by increases in yields on longer-term maturities in several developed markets, while most other government bond yields generally drifted lower. The Fed extended its emergency liquidity provisions through the end of 2020 and unveiled a new inflation policy framework that will allow inflation to modestly exceed 2% without a hawkish†† policy response. This low-for-longer and inflation tolerance policy stance by the Fed prompted the sell-off in longer-dated securities, while strong demand for government bonds as a perceived "safe haven" kept short-to-intermediate-term yields low. In October, the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield rose, which seemed to reflect rising hopes of economic stimulus, and credit sectors and securitized sectors outperformed duration-equivalent government bonds. Most non-government bond sectors underperformed the broad fixed income market for the annual period overall, but still posted positive absolute returns. The primary exceptions were investment grade corporate bonds and Treasury inflation protected securities, which performed especially strongly during the annual period.
Commodities were challenged during the annual period overall. At the end of 2019, commodities gained across all four sectors. However, in the first quarter of 2020, commodities faced severe headwinds, led down by the energy sector, as oil prices fell sharply after an OPEC+††† agreement to curtail production disintegrated. Only precious metals gained, supported by an increase in gold prices, as investors flocked to what were perceived as "safe haven" assets. In the second and third quarters of 2020, commodities broadly advanced. Energy prices rose, supported by an improving global demand outlook as economies gradually began to reopen. Industrial metals rose as mine closures caused supply disruptions. Precious metals lifted despite the gradual reopening of economies, with gold prices closing above $1,800 per ounce for the first time in more than eight years, as low interest rates and a resurgence of COVID-19 cases increased demand. Commodities ended the month of October lower, with energy once again the weakest performing sector, as it was for the annual period overall. Agriculture and livestock also declined for the annual period as whole, while precious metals and industrial metals rose.
During the annual period overall, developed market equities, as measured by the 4.36% return of the MSCI World Index*, underperformed emerging market equities, as measured by the 8.25% return of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index*. Among the developed markets, U.S. equities, as measured by the 9.71% return of the S&P 500 Index*, significantly outperformed non-U.S. equities, as measured by the -6.86% return of the MSCI EAFE Index*. Within the U.S. equity market, large-cap stocks performed best, followed at some distance by mid-cap stocks. Small-cap stocks posted a modest negative return during the annual period. Growth stocks significantly outpaced valued stocks across the capitalization spectrum. U.S. bonds, as presented by the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index*, and global bonds, as represented by the Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate Bond Index*, posted returns of 6.19% and 5.63%, respectively, for the annual period overall. The Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Treasury Index*, returned 6.95%, while international government bonds, as represented by the FTSE Non-U.S. WGBI (USD, hedged)*, returned 3.06%. Commodities, as represented by the Bloomberg Commodity Index*, returned -8.75% for the same annual period.

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Diversification and asset allocation do not guarantee a profit nor protect against a loss.
Because focused mutual funds are less diversified than typical mutual funds, the performance of each holding in a focused fund has a greater impact upon the overall portfolio, which increases risk. The AIG Focused Dividend Strategy Fund holds up to 30 high dividend yielding common stocks selected annually from the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the broader market. The AIG Select Dividend Growth Fund holds up to 40 high-dividend yielding common stocks selected annually from the Russell 1000 Index. The AIG Active Allocation Fund and AIG Multi-Asset Allocation Fund are funds-of-funds, allocated and monitored by SunAmerica Asset Management, LLC.

EXPENSE EXAMPLE — October 31, 2020 — (unaudited)
Disclosure of Fund Expenses in Shareholder Reports
As a shareholder of a Fund in the SunAmerica Series, Inc. (the "Series"), you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, contingent deferred sales charges and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and account maintenance fees and other Fund expenses. The example set forth below is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds 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 May 1, 2020 and held until October 31, 2020.
Actual Expenses
The "Actual" section of the table provides information about 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 October 31, 2020" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. For shareholder accounts in classes other than Class W, the "Expenses Paid During the Six Months Ended October 31, 2020" column and the "Annualized Expense Ratio" column do not include small account fees that may be charged if your account balance is below $500 ($250 for retirement plan accounts). In addition, the "Expenses Paid During the Six Months Ended October 31, 2020" column and the "Annualized Expense Ratio" column do not include administrative fees that may apply to qualified retirement plan accounts. See the Funds' Prospectuses, your retirement plan document and/or materials from your financial adviser, for a full description of these fees. Had these fees been included, the "Expenses Paid During the Six Months Ended October 31, 2020" 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 Fund's actual expense ratio and an annual rate of return of 5% before expenses, which is not the Fund'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 the Funds 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. For shareholder accounts in classes other than Class W, the "Expenses Paid During the Six Months Ended October 31, 2020" column and the "Annualized Expense Ratio" column do not include small account fees that may be charged if your account balance is below $500 ($250 for retirement plan accounts). In addition, the "Expenses Paid During the Six Months Ended October 31, 2020" column and the "Annualized Expense Ratio" column do not include administrative fees that may apply to qualified retirement plan accounts and accounts held through financial institutions. See the Funds' Prospectuses, your retirement plan document and/or materials from your financial adviser, for a full description of these fees. Had these fees been included, the "Expenses Paid During the Six Months Ended October 31, 2020" 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 transaction costs, including sales charges on purchase payments, contingent deferred sales charges, small account fees and administrative fees, if applicable, to your account. Please refer to the Funds' Prospectuses, your retirement plan document and/or material from your financial adviser, 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 transaction costs and other fees were included, your costs would have been higher.

* Expenses are equal to each Fund's annualized expense ratio multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184 days then divided by 366 days (to reflect the one-half year period). These ratios do not reflect transaction costs, including sales charges on purchase payments, contingent deferred sales charges, small account fees and administrative fees, if applicable to your account. Please refer to the Funds' prospectuses, your retirement plan document and/or materials from your financial adviser for more information.
# During the stated period, the investment adviser either waived a portion of or all of the fees and assumed a portion of or all expenses for the Funds 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, the "Actual/Hypothetical Ending Account Value" would have been lower and the "Actual/Hypothetical Expenses Paid During the Six Months Ended October 31, 2020" and the "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 October 31, 2020" and the "Annualized Expense Ratio" would have been lower.
† Does not include the expenses of the underlying funds that the Funds bear indirectly. If these indirect expenses had been included, the "Actual/Hypothetical Expenses Paid During the Six Months Ended October 31, 2020" and the "Annualized Expense Ratio" would have been higher and the "Actual/Hypothetical Ending Account Value" would have been lower.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — October 31, 2020
Note 1. Organization
SunAmerica Series, Inc. (the "Series"), is an open-end management investment company organized as a Maryland corporation on July 3, 1996. The Series is managed by SunAmerica Asset Management, LLC (the "Adviser" or "SunAmerica"). The Series consists of six separate mutual funds, five of which are included in this report and are currently offered for sale (each a "Fund" and collectively, the "Funds"). With respect to the AIG Multi-Asset Allocation Fund and AIG Active Allocation Fund, each of these Funds has a principal investment technique to invest in a combination of affiliated SunAmerica funds as described below (collectively, the "Underlying Funds").
The investment goals and principal investment techniques for each of the Funds are as follows:
AIG Multi-Asset Allocation Fund seeks growth of capital through allocation of assets among a combination of AIG funds that invest in equity and fixed income securities. The Fund may also invest in the AIG Commodity Strategy Fund and the AIG Income Explorer Fund. In addition, the Fund may invest in any other affiliated AIG fund, including the AIG Government Money Market Fund. The Fund may also invest in exchange-traded funds ("ETFs"), although the portfolio manager will generally only invest in ETFs to obtain exposure to a particular asset class when there is no SunAmerica fund option available.
AIG Active Allocation Fund seeks growth of capital and conservation of principal through allocation of assets among a combination of AIG funds that invest in equity and fixed income securities. The Fund may also invest in the AIG Commodity Strategy Fund and the AIG Income Explorer Fund. In addition, the Fund may invest in any other affiliated AIG fund, including the AIG Government Money Market Fund. The Fund may also invest in ETFs, although the portfolio manager will generally only invest in ETFs to obtain exposure to a particular asset class when there is no SunAmerica fund option available.
AIG Focused Dividend Strategy Fund seeks total return (including capital appreciation and current income) by employing a "buy and hold" strategy with up to thirty high dividend yielding equity securities selected annually from the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the broader market. At least 80% of the Fund's net assets, plus any borrowing for investment purposes, will be invested in dividend yielding equity securities.
AIG Strategic Value Fund seeks long-term growth of capital by employing a "buy and hold" strategy with approximately 100 securities selected annually from the Russell 3000 Value Index.
AIG Select Dividend Growth Fund seeks capital appreciation, and secondarily, current income by employing a "buy and hold" strategy with up to forty dividend paying equity securities selected annually from the Russell 1000® Index. At least 80% of the Fund's net assets, plus any borrowing for investment purposes, will be invested in dividend paying equity securities.
The AIG Asset Allocation Strategy Funds: AIG Multi-Asset Allocation and AIG Active Allocation, ("Strategy Funds") invest in various AIG funds, some of which are not presented in this report. Additional information on the Underlying Funds is available at our website, www.aig.com/funds.
The Funds are diversified as defined by the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (the "1940 Act").
Classes of Shares: Each Fund offers multiple classes of shares. The classes within each Fund are presented in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The cost structure for each class is as follows:
Class A shares— Offered at net asset value per share plus an initial sales charge. Additionally, purchases of Class A shares of $1,000,000 or more will be purchased at net asset value but will be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge on redemptions made within one year of purchase.
Class B shares— Offered at net asset value per share without an initial sales charge, although a declining contingent deferred sales charge may be imposed on redemptions made within six years of purchase. Class B shares will convert automatically to Class A shares approximately eight years after purchase and at such time will be subject to the lower distribution fee applicable to Class A shares.
33
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — October 31, 2020 (continued)
Class C shares— Offered at net asset value per share without an initial sales charge and may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge on redemptions made within 12 months of purchase. Effective September 30, 2020, Class C shares convert automatically to Class A shares approximately eight years after purchase and at such time will be subject to the lower distribution fee applicable to Class A shares.
Class W shares— Offered at net asset value per share. The class is offered exclusively through advisory fee-based programs sponsored by certain financial intermediaries and other programs.
Each class of shares bears the same voting, dividend, liquidation and other rights and conditions, except as may otherwise be provided in the Fund's registration statement. Class A, Class B and Class C shares each make distribution and account maintenance fee payments under the distribution plans pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, with Class B and Class C shares being subject to higher distribution fee rates. Class W shares have not adopted a 12b-1 Plan and make no payments thereunder, however, Class W shares pay a service fee to the Funds' distributor for administrative and shareholder services. For the Strategy Funds, only Class B shares and Class C shares make distribution fee payments.
Indemnification: Under the Series' organizational documents, its officers and directors are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Series. In addition, pursuant to Indemnification Agreements between the Series and each of the current directors who is not an "interested person," as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act, of the Series (collectively, the "Disinterested Directors"), the Series provides the Disinterested Directors with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Series, whether such liabilities are asserted during or after their service as directors. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Series enters into contracts that contain the obligation to indemnify others. The Series' maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. Currently, however, the Series 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 Funds 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 Series in the preparation of its financial statements:
Security Valuation: In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures under GAAP, the Funds 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 Funds 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
34
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — October 31, 2020 (continued)
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 Directors (the "Board"), etc.)
Level 3 – Significant unobservable inputs (includes inputs that reflect the Funds' 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 the Funds' assets and liabilities classified in the fair value hierarchy as of October 31, 2020, is reported on a schedule at the end of each Fund'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 Funds 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 Fund's shares, and the Fund 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 Fund determines that closing prices do not reflect the fair value of the securities, the Fund 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 Funds may also fair value securities in other situations, for example, when a particular foreign market is closed but a Fund is open. For foreign equity securities and foreign equity futures contracts, the Funds 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 services may use valuation models or matrix pricing which considers information with respect to comparable bond and note transactions, quotations from bond dealers, or by reference to other securities that are considered comparable in such characteristics as rating, interest rate, maturity date, option adjusted spread models, prepayments projections, interest rate spreads, and yield
35
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — October 31, 2020 (continued)
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.
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.
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 over-the-counter 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 Funds, 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 Fund'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.
Master Agreements: The Funds have entered into Master Repurchase Agreements ("Master Agreements") with certain counterparties that govern repurchase agreement transactions. The Master Agreements may contain provisions regarding, among other things, the parties' general obligations, representations, agreements, collateral requirements and events of default. Collateral can be in the form of cash or securities as agreed to by the Funds and applicable counterparty. The 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. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, the other party may elect to terminate early and cause settlement of all repurchase agreement transactions 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 the Funds' counterparties to elect early termination could cause the Funds to accelerate the payment of liabilities. 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 of October 31, 2020, the repurchase agreements held by the Funds are subject to master netting agreements. See each Fund's Portfolio of Investments and Notes to Financial Statements for more information about a Fund's holdings in repurchase agreements.
Repurchase Agreements: The Funds, 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 Funds' 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 Fund 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 Fund may be delayed or limited.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — October 31, 2020 (continued)
Securities Transactions, Investment Income, Expenses, Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders: Security transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses on the sale of investments are calculated on the identified cost basis. Interest income is accrued daily from settlement date except when collection is not expected. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date except for certain dividends from foreign securities, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed after the ex-dividend date. Distributions received from a Fund'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. The Strategy Funds invest in a combination of AIG Funds including funds investing in fixed income securities. Distributions from income from Underlying Funds, if any, are recorded to income on ex-dividend date. Distributions from net realized capital gains from Underlying Funds, if any, are recorded to realized gains on the ex-dividend date. For financial statement purposes, the Funds amortize all premiums and accrete all discounts on fixed income securities. Funds 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.
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 value of outstanding shares of each class of shares at the beginning of the day (after adjusting for current capital share activity of the respective class).
Expenses common to all Funds are allocated among the Funds based upon relative net assets or other appropriate allocation methods. In all other respects, expenses are charged to each Fund as incurred on a specific identification basis. For the Strategy Funds, the expenses included in the accompanying financial statements reflect the expenses of the Strategy Funds and do not include indirect expenses borne by each Strategy Fund in connection with its investment in the Underlying Funds.
Dividends from net investment income, if any, are normally paid quarterly for the AIG Active Allocation Fund, AIG Focused Dividend Strategy Fund, and AIG Select Dividend Growth Fund. All other Funds pay annually. Capital gain distributions, if any, are paid annually. Each of the Funds reserves the right to declare and pay dividends less frequently than disclosed above, provided that the net realized capital gains and net investment income, if any, are paid at least annually. The Funds 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 Fund 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 Fund also intends to distribute sufficient net investment income and net capital gains, if any, so that it will not be subject to excise tax on undistributed income and gains. Therefore, no federal income tax or excise tax provision is required.
Each Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained, assuming examination by tax authorities. Management has analyzed each Fund's tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions. The Funds 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 Funds file U.S. federal and certain state income tax returns. The Funds' federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — October 31, 2020 (continued)
Foreign Currency Translation: The books and records of the Funds 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 Funds 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 Funds 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 Funds' 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.
LIBOR Risk: A fund's investments, payment obligations and financing terms may be based on floating rates, such as London Interbank Offer Rate ("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. Such announcement indicates that the continuation of LIBOR and other Reference Rates on the current basis cannot and will not be guaranteed after 2021. This announcement and any additional regulatory or market changes may have an adverse impact on a fund or its investments.
In advance of 2021, regulators and market participants are expected to work together to identify or develop successor Reference Rates. Additionally, prior to 2021, 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 fund. 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 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 fund 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 fund's performance and/or NAV.
New Accounting Pronouncements: In August 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2018-13 "Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement". The ASU eliminates, modifies, and adds disclosure requirements for fair value measurements and is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. The ASU allows for early adoption of either the entire standard or only the provisions that eliminate or modify the requirements. Management has elected to early adopt the provisions that eliminate disclosure requirements and is still evaluating the impact of applying the rest of the ASU.

The Series, on behalf of each Fund, has entered into a Distribution Agreement with AIG Capital Services, Inc. ("ACS" or the "Distributor"), an affiliate of SunAmerica. Each Fund has adopted a Distribution Plan on behalf of each class of shares of the Funds (other than Class W shares of each of the Funds and Class A shares of the Strategy Funds) (each a "Plan" and collectively, the "Plans"), in accordance with the provisions of Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, hereinafter referred to as the "Class A Plan," "Class B Plan," and "Class C Plan." In adopting the Plans, the Board determined that there was a reasonable likelihood that each such Plan would benefit the Fund and the shareholders of the respective class. The sales charge and distribution fees of a particular class will not be used to subsidize the sale of shares of any other class.
Under the Class A Plan, Class B Plan, and Class C Plan of each Fund, as applicable, other than the Strategy Funds, the Distributor receives a distribution fee from a Fund at an annual rate of 0.10%, 0.75% and 0.75%, respectively, of average daily net assets of such Fund's Class to compensate the Distributor and certain securities firms for providing sales and promotional activities for distributing that class of shares. For the Strategy Funds, the Distributor receives payments at an annual rate of up to 0.65% of average daily net assets for both Class B and Class C Plans. The distribution costs for which the Distributor may be compensated for include fees paid to broker-dealers that have sold Fund shares, commissions and other expenses such as those incurred for sales literature, prospectus printing and distribution and compensation to wholesalers. It is possible that in any given year, the amount paid to the Distributor under each Class's Plan may exceed the Distributor's distribution costs as described above. During the year ended October 31, 2020, ACS waived fees in the amount of $22,580 for the Class A shares of AIG Select Dividend Growth Fund. Except for the Strategy Funds, the Plans provide that each respective class of shares of each Fund under such plan will also pay the Distributor an account maintenance fee up to an annual rate of 0.25% of the aggregate average daily net assets of such class of shares for payments to broker-dealers for providing continuing account maintenance. The Distributor does not receive or retain any distribution and/or account maintenance fees for any shares when the shareholder does not have a broker of record. For the year ended October 31, 2020, ACS received fees, as reflected in the Statement of Operations, based upon the aforementioned rates.
The Series, on behalf of the AIG Focused Dividend Strategy Fund, AIG Select Dividend Growth Fund and AIG Strategic Value Fund, has entered into an Administrative and Shareholder Services Agreement with ACS, pursuant to which ACS is paid an annual fee of 0.15% of average daily net assets of Class W shares as compensation for providing administrative and shareholder services to Class W shareholders. For the year ended October 31, 2020, ACS earned fees, as reflected in the Statement of Operations, based upon the aforementioned rates.
ACS receives sales charges on each Fund's Class A shares, portions of which are reallowed to affiliated broker-dealers and non-affiliated broker-dealers. ACS also receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges paid by investors in connection with certain redemptions of each Fund's Class A, Class B and Class C shares. ACS has advised the Funds

The Series, on behalf of each Fund, has entered into a Service Agreement with AIG Fund Services, Inc. ("AFS"), an affiliate of the Adviser. Under the Service Agreement, AFS performs certain shareholder account functions by assisting the Funds' transfer agent, DST Asset Manager Solutions, Inc. ("DST"), in connection with the services that it offers to the shareholders of the Funds. The Service Agreement, pursuant to which AFS receives a fee from each Fund (except the Strategy Funds) to compensate AFS for services rendered based upon an annual rate of 0.22% of average daily net assets, is approved annually by the Board. For the year ended October 31, 2020, the Funds incurred the following expenses, which are included in transfer agent fees payable in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and in transfer agent fees and expenses in the Statement of Operations, to compensate AFS pursuant to the terms of the Service Agreement.

Note 8. Line of Credit
The Series, 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 Series' custodian. Prior to September 4, 2020, interest is payable on the committed line of credit at the higher of the Federal Funds Rate (but not less than zero) plus 125 basis points or the One-Month London Interbank Offered Rate (but not less than zero) plus 125 basis points and State Street's discretionary bid rate on the uncommitted line of credit. The Series, on behalf of each of the Funds, has paid State Street for its own account, such Fund's ratable portion of an upfront fee in an amount equal to $25,000 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 25 basis points per annum on the daily unused portion of the committed line of credit. Effective September 4, 2020, interest on each of the committed and uncommitted lines of credit is payable at a variable rate per annum equal to the Applicable Rate plus one and one quarter of one percent (1.25%). The Applicable Rate per annum shall be equal to the higher of (a) the Federal Funds Effective Rate on such date and (b) the Overnight Bank Funding Rate on such date, plus, in each case, 10 basis points. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, if the Federal Funds Effective Rate or the Overnight Bank Funding Rate shall be less than zero, then the Federal Funds Effective Rate or the Overnight Bank Funding Rate, shall be deemed to be zero for the purposes of determining the rate. The Series, on behalf of each of the Funds, has paid State Street for its own account, such Fund'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
51
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — October 31, 2020 (continued)
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 Fund's cash shortfall exceeds $100,000. For the year ended October 31, 2020, the following Funds had borrowings:
Fund | | Days Outstanding | | Interest Charges | | Average Debt Utilized | | Weighted Average Interest | |
AIG Focused Dividend Strategy | | | 60 | | | $ | 56,646 | | | $ | 15,277,917 | | | | 2.09 | % | |
AIG Strategic Value | | | 28 | | | | 857 | | | | 657,143 | | | | 2.45 | | |
AIG Select Dividend Growth | | | 11 | | | | 1,123 | | | | 1,579,545 | | | | 2.90 | | |
As of October 31, 2020, there were no borrowings outstanding.
Note 9. Interfund Lending Agreement
Pursuant to the exemptive relief granted by the SEC, the Funds are permitted to participate in an interfund lending program among investment companies advised by SunAmerica or an affiliate. The interfund lending program allows the participating Funds 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 Funds receive a more favorable interest rate than would otherwise be available from a typical bank for a comparable transaction. For the year ended October 31, 2020, none of the funds participated in this program.
Note 10. Other Matters
An outbreak of respiratory disease caused by a novel coronavirus was first detected in China and subsequently spread internationally. This coronavirus has resulted in closing borders, enhanced health screenings, healthcare service preparation and delivery, quarantines, cancellations, disruptions to supply chains and customer activity, as well as general concern and uncertainty. The impact of this coronavirus may last for an extended period of time including through the issue date of these financial statements and has resulted in substantial market volatility and may result in a significant economic downturn.

STATEMENT REGARDING LIQUIDITY RISK MANAGEMENT PROGRAM — (unaudited)
Pursuant to Rule 22e-4 under the 1940 Act, the Funds have adopted a liquidity risk management program. SunAmerica Asset Management, LLC (the "Adviser" or "SunAmerica"), the investment adviser to the Series, has been designated by the Board to administer the Funds' 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 Fund's liquidity risk, based on factors specific to the circumstances of each Fund. "Liquidity risk" means the risk that a Fund could not meet requests to redeem shares issued by the Fund without significant dilution of remaining investors' interests in the Fund. During the period, 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 Fund's ability to honor redemption requests timely and the Adviser's management of each Fund'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 Fund, 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 Funds. Furthermore, the Program Administrator reported that each Fund 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 Fund 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 Fund's prospectus for more information regarding the Fund's exposure to liquidity risk and other principal risks to which an investment in the Fund may be subject.

APPROVAL OF THE INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT — (unaudited)
The Board of Directors (the "Board" the members of which are referred to as "Directors") of SunAmerica Series, Inc. (the "Corporation"), including the Directors 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 Directors"), of the Corporation or its separate series (each, a "Fund," and collectively, the "Funds") or SunAmerica Asset Management, LLC ("SunAmerica"), approved the continuation of the Investment Advisory and Management Agreement between the Corporation, on behalf of the Funds, and SunAmerica (the "Advisory Agreement") for a one-year period ending June 30, 2021 at a meeting held on June 2-3, 2020 (the "Meeting").1 The Corporation currently consists of the following six separate Funds: AIG Active Allocation Fund ("Active Allocation Fund"), AIG Multi-Asset Allocation Fund ("Multi-Asset Allocation Fund"), AIG Focused Dividend Strategy Fund ("Dividend Strategy Fund"), AIG Focused Dividend Strategy II Fund, AIG Strategic Value Fund ("Strategic Value Fund ") and AIG Select Dividend Growth Fund ("Dividend Growth Fund").
In accordance with Section 15(c) of the 1940 Act, the Board requested, and SunAmerica provided, materials relating to the Board's consideration of whether to approve the continuation of the Advisory Agreement. These materials included, among other things: (a) a summary of the services provided to the Funds by SunAmerica and its affiliates; (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 Funds and the investment performance of the Funds as compared with a peer group of funds, along with fee and performance data with respect to the Funds and any other mutual funds or other accounts advised by SunAmerica 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 to the Funds; (f) information about SunAmerica's risk management processes; (g) information regarding brokerage and soft dollar practices; and (h) information about the key personnel of SunAmerica and its affiliates who are involved in the investment management, administration, compliance and risk management activities with respect to the Funds, as well as current and projected staffing levels and compensation practices.
In determining whether to approve the continuation of the Advisory Agreement, the Board, including the Independent Directors, considered at the Meeting, and from time to time as appropriate, factors that it deemed relevant, including the following information:
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by SunAmerica. The Board, including the Independent Directors, 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 Funds, managing the daily business affairs of the Funds, 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, compliance, clerical and administrative services, and has authorized its officers and employees, if elected, to serve as officers or directors of the Corporation without compensation. The Board also noted that SunAmerica is responsible for monitoring and reviewing the activities of affiliated and unaffiliated third-party service providers. 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 Funds pursuant to the Advisory Agreement. The Board further considered the significant risks assumed by SunAmerica in connection with the services provided to the Funds including entrepreneurial risk in sponsoring new funds and ongoing risks such as operational, reputational, liquidity, litigation, regulatory and compliance risks with respect to all Funds.
1 On March 25, 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 an exemptive order (the "Order") pursuant to Sections 6(c) and 38(a) of the 1940 Act, that temporarily exempts 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 Order are ratified at the next in-person meeting. The Board determined that reliance on the Order 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 Order.
56
APPROVAL OF THE INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT — (unaudited) (continued)
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 Funds. The Board also reviewed the personnel responsible for providing advisory services to the Funds 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; (iii) SunAmerica has been responsive to requests of the Board; and (iv) SunAmerica has kept the Board apprised of developments relating to the Funds 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 Funds 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, 2020, SunAmerica managed, advised and/or administered approximately $71.8 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 Funds. 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 Funds as set forth in the Funds' 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 Funds.
Investment Performance. The Board, including the Independent Directors, also considered the investment performance of SunAmerica with respect to the Funds. In connection with its review, the Board received and reviewed information regarding the investment performance of the Funds as compared to each Fund's peer universe ("Peer Universe") and/or peer group ("Peer Group") as independently determined by Broadridge and to an appropriate index or combination of indices, including the Fund's 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 periods ended March 31, 2020. The Board also noted that it regularly reviews the performance of the Funds throughout the year. The Board further noted that, while it monitors performance of the Funds 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.
Active Allocation Fund. The Board noted the limited size of the Peer Group. The Board considered that the Fund's performance was equal to the median of its Peer Group for the one-year period. The Board further considered that the Fund's performance was below the median of its Peer Universe for the one- and three-year periods and above the median of its Peer Universe for the five-year period. The Board further considered that the Fund underperformed its Broadridge Index for the one-, three- and five-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 was being appropriately monitored.
57
APPROVAL OF THE INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT — (unaudited) (continued)
Multi-Asset Allocation Fund. The Board considered that the Fund's performance was below the medians of its Peer Group and Peer Universe for the one-, three- and five-year periods. The Board also considered that the Fund underperformed its Broadridge Index for the one-, three- and five-year periods. The Board took into account management's discussion of the reasons for the Fund's recent underperformance as well as management's discussion of the Fund's portfolio construction and investment strategy and concluded that the Fund's performance was being appropriately monitored.
Dividend Strategy Fund. The Board considered that the Fund's performance was equal to the median of its Peer Group for the one-year period and above the median of its Peer Group for the three- and five-year periods. The Board also considered that the Fund's performance was below the median of its Peer Universe for the one-year period and above the median of its Peer Universe for the three- and five-year periods. The Board further considered that the Fund outperformed its Broadridge Index for the one-, three- and five-year periods. The Board noted management's discussion of the Fund's performance, and concluded that the Fund's performance was satisfactory.
Strategic Value Fund. The Board considered that the Fund's performance was above the median of its Peer Group for the one-, three- and five-year periods. The Board also considered that the Fund's performance was above the median of its Peer Universe for the one-year period and below the median of its Peer Universe for the three- and five-year periods. The Board further considered that the Fund outperformed its Broadridge Index for the one- and three- year periods and underperformed its Broadridge Index for the five-year period. The Board noted management's discussion of the Fund's performance, including the Fund's investment approach, and concluded that the Fund's performance was being appropriately monitored.
Dividend Growth Fund. The Board noted that the Fund's performance was below the medians of its Peer Group and Peer Universe for the one-, three- and five-year periods. The Board further considered that the Fund underperformed its Broadridge Index for the one-, three- and five-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.
Consideration of the Management Fees and the Cost of the Services and Profits to be Realized by SunAmerica and its Affiliates from the Relationship with the Funds. The Board, including the Independent Directors, received and reviewed information regarding the fees paid by the Funds to SunAmerica pursuant to the Advisory Agreement. 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 or its affiliates in connection with providing such services to the Funds.
To assist in analyzing the reasonableness of the management fee for each of the Funds, the Board received reports independently prepared by Broadridge. The reports showed comparative fee information for each Fund'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 Fund 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 each Fund's 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 certain classes of Strategic Value Fund and Dividend Growth Fund. The Board also considered the voluntary fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements being made by SunAmerica with respect to the Active Allocation Fund and Multi-Asset Allocation Fund (collectively, the "Allocation Funds"). The Board further considered that, unlike the funds in the Peer Group and Peer Universe, the fee waivers and/or reimbursements being made by SunAmerica with respect to the Funds are only reflected in the total expenses category of the Broadridge reports, rather than also being reflected as specific management fee waivers in the actual management fees category of the Broadridge reports. As a result, the Board took into account that the actual management fees presented by Broadridge for the funds in the Peer Group and Peer Universe may appear lower on a relative basis. The Board also considered the various expense
58
APPROVAL OF THE INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT — (unaudited) (continued)
components of the Funds and compared each Fund's net expense ratio (taking into account the contractual fee caps) to those of other funds within its Peer Group and/or Peer Universe as a guide to help assess the reasonableness of each Fund's management fee. 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 the management fees received by SunAmerica with respect to other mutual funds and accounts with similar investment strategies to the Funds, as applicable. The Board noted that certain of the mutual funds identified as similar to certain of the Funds 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 further noted that SunAmerica serves as subadviser to certain of these similar mutual funds and observed that the services SunAmerica provides as subadviser are much more limited in scope than in its role as investment manager and adviser to the Funds. The Board then noted the management fees paid by the Funds were reasonable as compared to the fees SunAmerica was receiving from other mutual funds and accounts for which it serves as adviser or subadviser.
Active Allocation Fund. The Board considered that the Fund's actual management fees were below the medians of its Peer Group and Peer Universe. The Board also considered that the Fund's total expenses were below the medians of its Peer Group and Peer Universe.
Multi-Asset Allocation Fund. The Board considered that the Fund's actual management fees were above the medians of its Peer Group and Peer Universe. The Board also considered that the Fund's total expenses were above the medians of its Peer Group and Peer Universe. The Board noted management's discussion regarding the Fund's expenses.
Dividend Strategy Fund. The Board considered that the Fund's actual management fees were below the medians of its Peer Group and Peer Universe. The Board also considered that the Fund's total expenses were below the medians of its Peer Group and Peer Universe. The Board noted that the Fund's advisory fee contains breakpoints.
Strategic Value Fund. The Board considered that the Fund's actual management fees were above the medians of its Peer Group and Peer Universe. The Board also considered that the Fund's total expenses were above the medians of its Peer Group and Peer Universe. The Board noted management's discussion regarding the Fund's expenses.
Dividend Growth Fund. The Board considered that the Fund's actual management fees were above the medians of its Peer Group and Peer Universe. The Board also considered that the Fund's total expenses were below the median of its Peer Group and above the median of its Peer Universe. The Board 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 Funds. The Board received and reviewed financial statements relating to SunAmerica's financial condition and profitability with respect to the services it provides the Funds 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 revenues earned and the expenses incurred by SunAmerica and its affiliates that provide services to the Funds on a Fund by Fund basis, as well as an Investment Management Profitability Analysis prepared by an independent information service, Broadridge. In particular, the Board considered the contractual and voluntary fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements agreed to by SunAmerica.

APPROVAL OF THE INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT — (unaudited) (continued)
The Board considered the profitability of SunAmerica under the Advisory Agreement and considered the profitability of SunAmerica's affiliates under the Rule 12b-1 Plans. Additionally, the Board considered whether SunAmerica and its affiliates received any indirect benefits from the relationship with the Funds. 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 Funds. 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 concluded that SunAmerica had the financial resources necessary to perform its obligations under the Advisory Agreement and to continue to provide the Funds with the high quality services that it had provided in the past. The Board further concluded that the management fees payable by the Funds under the Advisory Agreement were reasonable in light of the factors discussed above.
Economies of Scale. The Board, including the Independent Directors, considered whether the shareholders would benefit from economies of scale and whether there was potential for future realization of economies with respect to the Funds. The Board considered that as a result of being part of the AIG fund complex, the Funds share common resources and may share certain expenses, and if the size of the complex increases, each fund could incur lower expenses than they otherwise would achieve as stand-alone entities. The Board also took into account that the management fee arrangements with respect to Dividend Strategy Fund included breakpoints that will adjust the fee downward as the size of those Funds increase, thereby allowing the shareholders to participate in any economies of scale. The Board further noted that, with respect to the Strategic Value Fund and Dividend Growth Fund, SunAmerica has agreed to contractually cap the total annual operating expenses of certain classes of the Funds, at certain levels. The Board also noted that with respect to the Allocation Funds, SunAmerica has agreed to voluntarily cap the total annual operating expenses of certain classes of the Funds, 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 Funds' management fee structure was 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.
Other Factors. In consideration of the Advisory Agreement the Board also received information regarding SunAmerica's brokerage and soft dollar practices. The Board considered that SunAmerica is responsible for decisions to buy and sell securities for the Funds, 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 included information on brokerage commissions and execution throughout the year. The Board also considered the benefits SunAmerica derives from its soft dollar arrangements, including arrangements under which brokers provide brokerage and/or research services to SunAmerica in return for allocating brokerage.
Conclusion. After a full and complete discussion, the Board approved the Advisory Agreement for a one-year period ending June 30, 2021. Based upon their evaluation of all these factors in their totality, the Board, including the Independent Directors, was satisfied that the terms of the Advisory Agreement and were fair and reasonable and in the best interests of the respective Funds and the Funds' shareholders. In arriving at a decision to approve the Advisory Agreement 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 Director may have attributed different weights to different factors. The Independent Directors were also assisted by the advice of independent legal counsel in making this determination.

COMPARISONS: FUNDS vs. THE INDICES — (unaudited)
As required by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the graphs on the following pages compare the performance of a $10,000 investment in the Funds to a similar investment in an index or indices. Please note that "inception," as used herein, reflects the date on which a specific class of a Fund commenced operations. It is important to note that the Funds are professionally managed mutual funds, while the indices are not available for investment and are unmanaged. The comparison is shown for illustrative purposes only. The graphs present the performance of Class A shares of each Fund. The performance of the other classes will vary based upon the differences in sales charges and fees assessed to shareholders of that class.

COMPARISONS: FUNDS vs. THE INDICES — (unaudited) (continued)
AIG Multi-Asset Allocation Fund Class A shares returned -2.32% (before maximum sales charge) for the 12 months ended October 31, 2020. The Fund underperformed its primary benchmark, the Russell 3000® Index*, a broad measure of the performance of U.S. equities, which returned 10.15% for the same period. The Fund also underperformed its blended benchmark (the "Blended Index"), comprised 55% of the Russell 3000® Index*, 10% of the MSCI ACWI ex US (net) Index*, 25% of the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Universal Index* and 10% of the Bloomberg Commodity Index*, which returned 6.34%. The components of the Blended Index, the Russell 3000® Index, the MSCI ACWI ex US (net) Index, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Universal Index and the Bloomberg Commodity Index, returned 10.15%, -2.61%, 5.96% and -8.75%, respectively, for the same annual period.
The Fund allocates its assets among a combination of underlying AIG Funds. Accordingly, the key indicators of performance are underlying fund performance and asset allocation rather than individual security selection or sector allocation.
The Adviser will generally allocate approximately 10% of the Fund's portfolio among 10 individual asset classes through investments in underlying AIG Funds. The allocation to the five major asset classes – domestic equity securities, foreign equity securities, commodities, global equity securities and fixed income securities – were maintained close to their strategic target weights of 50%, 10%, 10% 10% and 20%, respectively, during most of the annual period. The AIG ESG Dividend Fund's weighting was increased during the annual period, as it became its own 10% asset class target. This shift benefited the Fund's results, as the AIG ESG Dividend Fund outperformed its benchmark during the annual period.
During the annual period, asset allocation decisions overall detracted modestly from the Fund's relative performance during the annual period. From a sub-asset class perspective, the primary drivers of the Fund's underperformance relative to the Blended Index were investments in value-oriented U.S. equities, a global equity strategy and small-cap U.S. equities. Only partially offsetting these losses were exposures to large-cap growth-oriented U.S. equities and U.S. government securities, which contributed positively.
Underlying fund performance was also a significant detractor from the Fund's performance relative to the Blended Index during the annual period. Positions in AIG Select Dividend Growth Fund, AIG International Dividend Strategy Fund and AIG Small-Cap Fund were the largest detractors from relative results. These detractors were partially offset by the positive contributions made by allocations to the AIG Focused Growth Fund and AIG ESG Dividend Fund, each of which outperformed their respective benchmark index during the annual period.
Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

COMPARISONS: FUNDS vs. THE INDICES — (unaudited) (continued)
AIG Active Allocation Fund Class A shares returned 2.28% (before maximum sales charge) for the 12 months ended October 31, 2020. The Fund underperformed its primary benchmark, the Russell 3000® Index*, a broad measure of the performance of U.S. equities, which returned 10.15% for the same period. The Fund also underperformed its blended benchmark (the "Blended Index"), comprised 50% of the Russell 3000® Index*, 10% of the MSCI ACWI ex US (net) Index* and 40% of the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Universal Index*, which returned 7.78%. The components of the Blended Index, the Russell 3000® Index, the MSCI ACWI ex US (net) Index and the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Universal Index, returned 10.15%, -2.61% and 5.96%, respectively, for the same annual period.
The Fund allocates its assets among a combination of underlying AIG Funds. Accordingly, the key indicators of performance are underlying fund performance and asset allocation rather than individual security selection or sector allocation.
The Adviser will generally allocate the Fund's portfolio among five major asset classes – domestic equity securities, foreign equity securities, fixed income securities, commodities and global equity securities.
Early in the annual period, exposure to commodities was reduced, as the outlook for this asset class was deemed to be weak, and the proceeds were moved primarily to U.S. government securities.
During the annual period, the primary driver of the Fund's underperformance relative to the Blended Index was underlying fund performance. All of the Fund's underlying funds – except AIG Focused Growth Fund and AIG ESG Dividend Fund – underperformed their respective benchmarks during the annual period. The AIG International Dividend Strategy Fund AIG Select Dividend Growth Fund and AIG U.S. Government Securities Fund detracted most, each significantly underperforming their respective benchmarks during the annual period.
Asset allocation decisions also detracted from the Fund's performance relative to the Blended Index during the annual period. An underweight to fixed income securities during the equity downturn in the first quarter of 2020 hurt. March 2020 was a particularly challenging month for the Fund, as the U.S. and other countries shut down parts of their economies. Exposure to fixed income securities especially detracted in March, as gains in the AIG U.S. Government Securities Fund were more than offset by underperformance of the Fund's positions in credit-oriented fixed income funds. U.S. small-cap equity and value-oriented equity funds also posted weak returns, as their holdings were comparatively more sensitive to the economy than their larger and more growth-oriented counterparts. During the second half of the annual period, when equities recovered sharply, having an underweight to equities held back performance.
From a sub-asset class perspective, exposure to value-oriented equities, credit-oriented fixed income, a global equity strategy and small-cap U.S. equities detracted most significantly from the Fund's relative returns. Partially offsetting these losses were exposures to large-cap, growth-oriented equities and U.S. government securities, which contributed positively.

AIG Focused Dividend Strategy Fund Class A shares returned -11.33% (before maximum sales charge) for the 12 months ended October 31, 2020. The Fund underperformed its benchmark, the S&P 500 Index*, which returned 9.71% for the same period.
The Fund's strategy selects up to 30 high dividend-yielding equity securities, which will be evaluated and adjusted at the discretion of the portfolio managers on an annual basis. The first 10 stocks selected represent the 10 highest yielding stocks within the Dow Jones Industrial Average. The next 20 stocks are selected from the Russell 1000® Index†, although stocks in the Utilities and Financials sectors are generally excluded from this 20-stock selection process. Certain stocks in the Russell 1000® Index may also be excluded as a result of liquidity screens or industry-related caps applied during the selection process. The criteria used to select these 20 stocks generally include dividend yield as well as a combination of factors that relate to profitability and valuation.
The primary driver of the Fund's underperformance during the annual period was its focus on high-yielding companies, as this equity market segment underperformed the S&P 500 Index during the annual period. Having an underweight exposure to mega-cap companies, which were generally rewarded during the annual period, also hindered results.
From a sector perspective, the Fund's underperformance during the annual period was driven by its underweight exposure to and weak stock selection in Information Technology and Consumer Discretionary. Stock selection among Communication Services companies also hampered results as did an overweight to Energy, which was the worst performing sector in the S&P 500 Index during the annual period. These detractors were partially offset by the positive contributions made by effective stock selection in Industrials and by having an underweight allocation to Financials, which was the second-weakest sector in the S&P 500 Index during the annual period. Having no exposure to the Real Estate and Utilities sectors, each of which significantly lagged the S&P 500 Index during the annual period, also boosted the Fund's relative results.
The primary individual stock detractors from the Fund's relative results during the annual period were department store retailers Kohl's Corp. and Macy's Inc., oil and gas exploration and production company Occidental Petroleum Corp., retail drugstore operator Walgreens Boots Alliance Inc. and advertising, marketing and corporate communications provider Omnicom Group Inc. The individual stocks that contributed most positively to the Fund's relative results during the annual period included consumer electronics and appliances retailer Best Buy Co., Inc., semiconductor company Broadcom Inc., engine and electric power generation systems manufacturer Cummins Inc., construction, mining and forestry machinery manufacturer Caterpillar Inc. and business outsourcing solutions provider Automatic Data Processing, Inc.

Indices are not managed and an investor cannot invest directly into an index.
The Fund will not deviate from its strategy (except to the extent necessary to comply with federal tax laws or other applicable laws). If the Fund is committed to a strategy that is unsuccessful, the Fund will not meet its investment goal. Because the Fund will not use certain techniques available to other mutual funds to reduce stock market exposure, the Fund may be more susceptible to general market declines than other mutual funds.
The Fund's holdings are subject to change. Accordingly, securities listed may or may not be a part of current portfolio construction.

COMPARISONS: FUNDS vs. THE INDICES — (unaudited) (continued)
AIG Strategic Value Fund Class A shares returned -10.76% (before maximum sales charge) for the 12 months ended October 31, 2020. The Fund underperformed its benchmark, the Russell 3000® Value Index*, which returned -8.00%.
The principal investment technique we employ in the Fund is a "buy and hold" strategy with equity securities selected annually from the Russell 3000® Value Index. The portfolio managers select securities through extensive quantitative research, which includes the use of a multi-factor model employed to identify and rank companies within the Russell 3000® Value Index. Through our proprietary selection process, we select approximately 100 securities from the Russell 3000® Value Index.
During the annual period ended October 31, 2020, stock selection was the primary driver of the Fund's relative underperformance, especially in the Utilities, Communication Services, Information Technology and Energy sectors. Having an overweight allocation to Energy, which was the worst performing sector in the Russell 3000® Value Index during the annual period, further hampered relative results. These detractors were partially offset by the positive contributions made by effective security selection in Financials, Consumer Discretionary and Industrials. Having underweight exposures to Financials and Real Estate, which each lagged the Russell 3000® Value Index during the annual period, and having overweight allocations to Health Care and Information Technology, which each outpaced the Russell 3000® Value Index during the annual period, also proved beneficial.
Among individual holdings, the Fund was hurt most during the annual period by positions in utilities company FirstEnergy Corp., integrated energy company ConocoPhillips, retail and office-focused real estate investment trust Cousins Properties Inc., oil refining and transportation company Phillips 66 and commercial bank PacWest Bancorp. The leading individual positive contributors to the Fund's relative results during the annual period included laboratories chain operator Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc. Class A, global asset management company Legg Mason, Inc., engine and electric power generation systems manufacturer Cummins Inc., chemicals company DuPont de Nemours, Inc. and Silicon Valley Bank holding company SVB Financial Group.

COMPARISONS: FUNDS vs. THE INDICES — (unaudited) (continued)
AIG Select Dividend Growth Fund Class A shares returned -3.46% (before maximum sales charge) for the 12 months ended October 31, 2020. The Fund underperformed its benchmark, the Russell 1000® Index*, which returned 10.87%.
The principal investment technique we employ in the Fund is a "buy and hold" strategy with up to 40 dividend-paying equity securities selected annually from the Russell 1000® Index. We select up to 40 dividend-paying stocks that we believe demonstrate the potential for long-term dividend growth and which will be evaluated and adjusted at the discretion of the portfolio managers on an annual basis. The selection criteria will generally include dividend growth as well as a combination of factors that relate to profitability and valuation.
The primary driver of the Fund's underperformance was weak stock selection in and an underweight exposure to Information Technology, the strongest performing sector in the Russell 1000® Index during the annual period. Having an overweight exposure to Industrials also hindered results as did stock selection among Communication Services and Health Care companies. Both allocation positioning and stock selection in the Consumer Discretionary and Energy sectors hurt as well. Partially offsetting these detractors was effective stock selection in and having an underweight allocation to the weakly performing Financials sector, which contributed positively. Having no exposure to the Real Estate and Utilities sectors, each of which lagged the Russell 1000® Index during the annual period, also helped.
Among individual holdings, the Fund was hurt most during the annual period by positions in petroleum refiner Valero Energy Corp., airline Alaska Air Group, Inc., advertising, marketing and corporate communication services provider Omnicom Group Inc., airline Delta Air Lines, Inc. and financial services firm Franklin Resources, Inc. Conversely, among the leading individual positive contributors to the Fund's results were semiconductor and telecommunications equipment company QUALCOMM Inc., major home appliances manufacturer Whirlpool Corp., consumer electronics and appliances retailer Best Buy Co., Inc., industrial and construction supplies company Fastenal Co. and industrial automation products producer Rockwell Automation, Inc.

The Funds have adopted a policy that allows them to send only one copy of a Fund's prospectus, proxy material, annual report and semi-annual report (the "shareholder documents") to shareholders with multiple accounts residing at the same "household." This practice is called householding and reduces Fund expenses, which benefits you and other shareholders. Unless the Funds receive instructions to the contrary, you will only receive one copy of the shareholder documents. The Funds will continue to household the shareholder documents indefinitely, until we are instructed otherwise. If you do not wish to participate in householding, please contact Shareholder Services at (800) 858-8850 ext. 6010 or send a written request with your name, the name of your fund(s) and your account number(s) to AIG Funds, P.O.
