A Message from the President — (unaudited)
Dear Shareholders:
All of us at AIG and SunAmerica Asset Management, along with our Fund subadvisers, hope this semi-annual report finds you and yours safe and well during these persistently challenging times.
As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve, know that we remain focused on continuing to serve our Fund shareholders. As such, we are pleased to present this semi-annual update for SunAmerica Specialty Series (the “Specialty Series”), including AIG Commodity Strategy Fund, AIG ESG Dividend Fund, AIG Focused Alpha Large-Cap Fund, AIG Focused Growth Fund, AIG Income Explorer Fund and AIG Small-Cap Quality Fund (the “Funds”), covering the six-month period ended April 30, 2021.
Overall, global equities and commodities advanced, while global bonds generated negative returns. Virtually all asset classes saw ongoing volatility during the semi-annual period.
As the semi-annual period began in November 2020, global equities rose. COVID-19 infections hit new highs in several countries, but equity markets gained in the last two months of the calendar year after two COVID-19 vaccines demonstrated high efficacy rates in Phase 3 trials and the U.S. government agreed on a pandemic relief plan that extended many of the CARES Act support measures. The European Central Bank (“ECB”) expanded its monetary stimulus program, and the European Union and China struck an agreement on an investment treaty even as the U.S. government strengthened its sanctions on companies with links to the Chinese military. The European Union and the U.K. also agreed to a trade deal, ending four years of political negotiations and setting the terms for a post-Brexit† future. U.S. equities in particular were bolstered by better than expected third quarter 2020 corporate earnings, economic resilience, substantial monetary support from the Federal Reserve (the “Fed”), resolution of the U.S. presidential elections and optimism that COVID-19 vaccines would support a broad re-opening of the U.S. economy.
Due primarily to short-lived trading anomalies in certain stocks, global equities posted negative returns in January 2021 but then rose for a fourth straight quarter in the first quarter of 2021 overall. Markets, including U.S. equities, rallied amid the accelerating global rollout of COVID-19 vaccines, favorable outlook for global economic growth, substantial support from governments and central banks, and upbeat forecasts for corporate earnings. These positive drivers more than offset growing expectations for higher inflation and still-concerning trends in COVID-19 infections. The European Parliament approved the Recovery and Resilience Facility to provide €672.5 billion in grants and loans to help European Union countries alleviate the social and economic effects of the pandemic, while President Biden signed into law a U.S.$1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief bill aimed at individuals and small businesses.
In April 2021, global equities advanced, fueled by optimism around a sharp increase in global economic growth, ongoing fiscal and monetary stimulus, strong corporate earnings and expanding COVID-19 vaccine rollouts—despite the pandemic’s case count worldwide reaching new highs. U.S. equities registered their best monthly performance since November 2020, with favorable sentiment overshadowing concerns about the risks of higher taxes, supply-chain disruptions, inflation pressures and signs of frothy valuations in some areas of the market.
The broad global fixed income market posted a negative return for the semi-annual period overall. Global government bond yields ended the fourth quarter of 2020 mixed. Yield curves in the dollar-bloc economies, including the U.S., Australia, Canada and New Zealand, steepened, while yields in the U.K. and Germany drifted lower. Then, in the first quarter of 2021, government bond yields moved sharply higher. U.S. Treasuries registered their worst quarterly return since 1980, driven by COVID-19 vaccine rollout progress, unprecedented fiscal stimulus and the Fed’s commitment to not preemptively hike rates in response to any transitory rise in inflation during the economic rebound. In turn, the U.S. Treasury yield curve steepened rapidly, which spilled over to other major markets, including the dollar-bloc economies. Chinese sovereign bonds represented the lone market among the 20 largest global debt markets to see yields decrease during the quarter. In April 2021, U.S. Treasury yields ended lower after four consecutive monthly increases. In Europe, German and Italian sovereign bond yields edged higher. Most non-government bond sectors outperformed the

broad fixed income market for the semi-annual period as a whole but still posted negative absolute returns. However, high yield corporate bonds, emerging markets debt, U.S. Treasury inflation protected securities and asset-backed securities gained ground.
Commodities realized strong performance during the semi-annual period. Energy rallied most sharply, as positive COVID-19 vaccine developments boosted demand and supplies remained tight. Among industrial metals, copper similarly advanced on rising global demand. Precious metals ended higher, though both gold and silver had pulled back during the first quarter of 2021 on a brighter economic outlook and a stronger U.S. dollar. Agriculture and livestock produced strong results, with the prices of many commodities in the sub-sector reaching multi-year highs in April 2021.
Amid these conditions, developed market equities, as measured by the 29.10% return of the MSCI World Index*, outperformed emerging market equities, as measured by the 22.95% return of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index* for the semi-annual period overall. Among the developed markets, U.S. equities, as measured by the 28.85% return of the S&P 500 Index*, performed in line with non-U.S. equities, as measured by the 28.84% return of the MSCI EAFE Index*. Within the U.S. equity market, small-cap stocks performed best, followed at some distance by mid-cap and then large-cap stocks. Value stocks significantly outpaced growth stocks across the capitalization spectrum. U.S. bonds, as represented 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 -1.52% and -0.17%, respectively, for the semi-annual period overall. The Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Treasury Index* returned -3.42%, while international government bonds, as represented by the FTSE Non-U.S. WGBI (USD, hedged)*, returned -2.40%. Commodities, as represented by the Bloomberg Commodity Index*, returned 25.81% for the semi-annual period as a whole.

† | | Brexit refers to the U.K.’s path out of the European Union. |
The AIG Commodity Strategy Fund is not a complete investment program and should not be an investor’s sole investment because its performance is linked to the performance of highly volatile commodities. Investors should consider buying shares of the AIG Commodity Strategy Fund only as part of an overall portfolio strategy that includes other asset classes, such as fixed income and equity investments. Investors in the AIG Commodity Strategy Fund should be willing to assume greater risks of potentially significant short-term share price fluctuation because of the AIG Commodity Strategy Fund’s investments in commodity-linked derivative instruments.
The risks associated with the use of futures contracts by the AIG Commodity Strategy Fund include the risk that: (i) changes in the price of a futures contract may not always track the changes in market value of the underlying reference assets; (ii) trading restrictions or limitations may be imposed by an exchange, and government regulations may restrict trading in futures contracts; and (iii) if the Fund has insufficient cash to meet margin requirements, the Fund may need to sell other investments, including at disadvantageous times. Forwards are not exchange-traded and therefore no clearing house or exchange stands ready to meet the obligations of the contracts. Thus, the Fund faces the risk that its counterparties may not perform their obligations. Investments that provide exposure to foreign markets involve special risks, such as currency fluctuations, differing financial reporting and regulatory standards, and economic and political instability. These risks are highlighted when the issuer is in an emerging market. Fixed income securities and currency and fixed income futures are subject to changes in their value when prevailing interest rates change. Adverse changes in currency exchange rates (relative to the U.S. dollar) may erode or reverse any potential gains from futures instruments that are tied to foreign instruments or currencies. The Fund also has exposure to the commodities markets, which may subject it to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities. The AIG Commodity Strategy Fund expects to invest a significant portion of its assets in repurchase agreements collateralized by the U.S. government and its agencies and may also invest in other high quality, short-term securities (“money market instruments”). The primary purpose of the repurchase agreements and other money market instruments held by the Fund will be to serve as collateral for the futures instruments. The Fund’s investments in repurchase agreements involve certain risks involving the default or insolvency of the seller and counterparty risk (i.e., the risk that the counterparty will not perform its obligations). The Fund’s returns are expected to be derived principally from changes in the value of the assets underlying the futures instruments held by the Fund. Active trading of the Fund’s portfolio may result in high portfolio turnover and correspondingly greater brokerage commissions and other transaction costs, which will be borne directly by the Fund and which will affect the Fund’s performance. Active trading may also result in increased tax liability for Fund shareholders. Investors should note that the ability of the subadviser to successfully implement the Fund’s strategies, including the proprietary investment processes used by the subadviser, will influence the performance of the Fund significantly.
Focused funds are less diversified than typical mutual funds; therefore, the performance of each holding in a focused fund has a greater impact upon the overall portfolio, which increases risk. Stocks of small-cap and mid-cap companies are generally more volatile than and not as readily marketable as those of larger companies and may have fewer resources and a greater risk of business failure than do large companies.

EXPENSE EXAMPLE — April 30, 2021 — (unaudited)
Disclosure of Fund Expenses in Shareholder Reports
As a shareholder of a Fund (each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”) in the SunAmerica Specialty Series (the “Trust”), you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including applicable sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and contingent deferred sales charges and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and account maintenance fees; and other Fund expenses. This Example 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 November 1, 2020 and held until April 30, 2021.
Actual Expenses
The “Actual” section of the table provides information about your actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in these columns, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the column under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During the Six Months Ended April 30, 2021” 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 April 30, 2021” 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 April 30, 2021” column and the “Annualized Expense Ratio” column do not include administrative or other 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 advisers for a full description of these fees. Had these fees been included, the “Expenses Paid During the Six Months Ended April 30, 2021” column would have been higher and the “Ending Account Value” column would have been lower.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The “Hypothetical” section of the table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each 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 April 30, 2021” 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 April 30, 2021” column and the “Annualized Expense Ratio” column do not include administrative or other 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 advisers for a full description of these fees. Had these fees been included, the “Expenses Paid During the Six Months Ended April 30, 2021” column would have been higher and the “Ending Account Value” column would have been lower.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any 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’ prospectus, your retirement plan document and/or materials 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 transactional costs and other fees were included, your costs would have been higher.

Please refer to your Prospectus, 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 or assumed, the “Actual/Hypothetical Ending Account Value” would have been lower and the “Actual/Hypothetical Expenses Paid During the Six Months Ended April 30, 2021” 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 April 30, 2021” and the “Annualized Expense Ratio” would have been lower. |

SunAmerica Specialty Series
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — April 30, 2021 — (unaudited)
Note 1. Organization
SunAmerica Specialty Series (the “Trust”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company and is organized as a Delaware Statutory Trust. The Trust consists of six different investment funds (each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”) as of April 30, 2021. Each Fund is managed by SunAmerica Asset Management, LLC (the “Adviser” or “SunAmerica”). An investor may invest in one or more of the following Funds: AIG Commodity Strategy Fund (the “Commodity Strategy Fund”), AIG ESG Dividend Fund (the “ESG Dividend Fund”), AIG Focused Alpha Large-Cap Fund (the “Focused Alpha Large-Cap Fund”), AIG Focused Growth Fund (the “Focused Growth Fund”), AIG Income Explorer Fund (the “Income Explorer Fund”) and AIG Small-Cap Quality Fund (“the Small-Cap Quality Fund”).
Effective December 15, 2020, AIG Small-Cap Fund changed its name to “AIG Small-Cap Quality Fund.”
The Funds are considered to be separate entities for financial and tax reporting purposes. The investment objective and principal investment techniques for each Fund are as follows:
The Commodity Strategy Fund seeks to provide long-term total return through a strategy that is designed to provide diversified exposure to the commodities markets. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment goal by investing its assets in a combination of commodity-linked derivative instruments and fixed income securities.
The ESG Dividend Fund seeks to provide total return including capital appreciation and current income, employing a “buy and hold” strategy with up to forty dividend yielding equity securities selected annually from the Russell 1000® Index that meet the Fund’s ESG standards.
The Focused Alpha Large-Cap Fund seeks to provide growth of capital through active trading of equity securities to achieve a blend of growth companies, value companies and companies that have elements of growth and value, issued by large-cap companies. Under normal market conditions, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowing for investment purposes, in large-cap companies.
The Focused Growth Fund seeks to provide growth of capital through active trading of equity securities of large, small and mid-cap companies.
The Income Explorer Fund seeks to provide high current income with a secondary objective of capital appreciation primarily by strategically allocating its assets among a preferred securities enhanced index strategy, real estate investment trust (“REIT”) strategy and global dividend equity strategy. Through this combination of investments, the Fund expects to gain exposure to a broad range of income-producing investments, including both fixed income and equity securities.
The Small-Cap Quality Fund seeks to provide long-term growth of capital, employing a “buy and hold” strategy with approximately 75-100 small-cap equity securities selected from the Russell 2000® Index semi-annually.
Each Fund, except for the Focused Alpha Large-Cap Fund and Focused Growth Fund, is a “diversified” Fund within the meaning of the 1940 Act.
Each Fund offers multiple classes of shares of beneficial interest. 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 are offered at net asset value per share plus an initial sales charge. Additionally, any purchases of Class A shares in excess of $1,000,000 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 C shares are offered at net asset value 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.
SunAmerica Specialty Series
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — April 30, 2021 — (unaudited) (continued)
Class W shares are 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 Funds’ registration statement. Class A and Class C shares make distribution and account maintenance fee payments under a distribution plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, with Class C shares being subject to higher distribution fee rates. Class W shares have not adopted 12b-1 Plans and make no payments thereunder, however, Class W shares pay a service fee to the Funds’ distributor for administrative and shareholder services.
Indemnifications: The Trust’s organizational documents provide current and former officers and trustees with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. In addition, pursuant to Indemnification Agreements between the Trust and each of the current trustees who is not an “interested person,” as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act, of the Trust (collectively, the “Disinterested Trustees”), the Trust provides the Disinterested Trustees with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust, whether such liabilities are asserted during or after their service as trustees. In addition, in the normal course of business the Trust enters into contracts that contain the obligation to indemnify others. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. Currently, however, the Trust expects the risk of loss to be remote.
Note 2. Basis for consolidation for the SunAmerica Commodity Strategy Cayman Fund Ltd.
The AIG Commodity Strategy Cayman Fund Ltd. (the “Commodity Strategy Subsidiary”), a Cayman Islands exempted company, was incorporated on October 20, 2008, and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Commodity Strategy Fund. The Commodity Strategy Subsidiary commenced operations on May 22, 2009 and was organized as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Commodity Strategy Fund in order to effect certain investments on behalf of the Commodity Strategy Fund consistent with the investment objectives and policies in the Commodity Strategy Fund’s prospectus and statement of additional information. With respect to its investments, the Commodity Strategy Subsidiary will generally be subject to the same fundamental, non-fundamental and certain other investment restrictions as the Commodity Strategy Fund; however, the Commodity Strategy Subsidiary (unlike the Commodity Strategy Fund) may invest without limitation in commodity-linked swap agreements and other commodity-linked derivative instruments that may otherwise be limited if purchased by the Commodity Strategy Fund due to federal tax requirements relating to qualifying income. The Commodity Strategy Fund and Commodity Strategy Subsidiary may test for compliance with certain investment restrictions on a consolidated basis, except that with respect to its investment in certain securities that may involve leverage, the Commodity Strategy Subsidiary will comply with asset segregation or “earmarking” requirements to the same extent as the Commodity Strategy Fund. The Commodity Strategy Fund may invest up to 25% of its assets in the Commodity Strategy Subsidiary. As of April 30, 2021, net assets of the Commodity Strategy Fund were $28,375,451, of which approximately $6,214,281, or approximately 21.9%, represented the Commodity Strategy Fund’s ownership of all issued shares and voting rights of the Commodity Strategy Subsidiary.
Note 3. 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 Trust in the preparation of its financial statements:
Security Valuation: In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures under GAAP, the 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
SunAmerica Specialty Series
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — April 30, 2021 — (unaudited) (continued)
reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The three-tiers are as follows:
Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
Level 2 — Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, referenced indices, quoted prices in inactive markets, adjusted quoted prices in active markets, adjusted quoted prices
on foreign equity securities that were adjusted in accordance with pricing procedures approved by the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) , etc.)
Level 3 — Significant unobservable inputs (includes inputs that reflect the 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 April 30, 2021 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 a 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
SunAmerica Specialty Series
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — April 30, 2021 — (unaudited) (continued)
adjusted spread models, prepayments projections, interest rate spreads, and yield curves to determine current value. If a price is unavailable from a Board-approved pricing service, the securities may be priced at the mean of two independent quotes obtained from brokers.
Investments in registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end of day net asset value per share. Investments in registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded. Investments in registered investment companies are generally categorized as Level 1.
Futures contracts traded on national securities exchanges are valued at the quoted daily settlement price established by the exchange on which they trade reported by a Board-approved pricing service, and are generally categorized as Level 1. Option contracts traded on national securities exchanges are valued at the mean of the last bid and ask price reported by a Board-approved pricing service as of the close of the exchange on which they are traded, and are generally categorized as Level 1.
Option contracts traded in the over-the-counter (“OTC”) market are valued at the mid valuation provided by a Board-approved pricing service, and are generally categorized as Level 2. Swap contracts traded on national securities exchanges are valued at the closing price of the exchange on which they are traded or if a closing price of the exchange is not available, the swap will be valued using a mid valuation provided by a Board-approved pricing service, and are generally categorized as Level 2. Swap contracts traded over the counter are valued at a mid valuation provided by a Board-approved pricing service, and are generally categorized as Level 2. Forward foreign currency contracts (“forward contracts”) are valued at the 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time forward rate and are generally categorized as Level 2.
Other securities are valued on the basis of last sale or bid price (if a last sale price is not available) which is, in the opinion of the Adviser, the broadest and most representative market, that may be either a securities exchange or OTC market, and are generally categorized as Level 1 or Level 2.
The Board is responsible for the share valuation process and has adopted policies and procedures (the “PRC Procedures”) for valuing the securities and other assets held by the 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 Trust’s fair valuation procedures. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or the values of which may be significantly impacted by the occurrence of developments or significant events are generally categorized as Level 3. There is no single standard for making fair value determinations, which may result in prices that vary from those of other funds.
Derivative Instruments:
Futures: During the period, the Commodity Strategy Fund entered into futures transactions for investment purposes in order to provide exposure to commodities. The Small-Cap Quality Fund entered into futures transactions for investment purposes in order to provide exposure to U.S and non-U.S. equity markets.
A futures contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a financial instrument at a set price on a future date. Upon entering into a futures transaction, a Fund will be required to segregate an initial margin payment of cash or other liquid securities with the futures commission merchant (the “broker”). Subsequent payments are made or received by a Fund as a result of changes in the value of the contract and/or changes in the value of the initial margin requirement. Such receipts or payments are recorded in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as variation margin for changes in the value of the contracts and as cash collateral for futures contracts for the changes in the value of the initial margin requirement. When a contract is closed, a Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.
The primary risk to a Fund of entering into futures contracts is market risk. Market risk is the risk that there will be an unfavorable change in the interest rate, value or currency rate of the underlying security or securities. Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of the variation margin. There may also be trading restrictions or limitations imposed by

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — April 30, 2021 — (unaudited) (continued)
an exchange, and government regulations may restrict trading in futures contracts. While a Fund will generally only purchase exchange-traded futures, due to market conditions, there may not always be a liquid secondary market for a futures contract and, as a result, the Fund may be unable to close out its futures contracts at a time which is advantageous. In addition, if a Fund has insufficient cash to meet margin requirements, the Fund may need to sell other investments, including at disadvantageous times. There is generally minimal counterparty credit risk to a Fund since exchange-traded futures contracts are centrally cleared.
Futures contracts outstanding at the end of the period, if any, are reported on a schedule at the end of each Fund’s Portfolio of Investments.
Options: During the period, the Commodity Strategy Fund used options contracts to provide exposure to commodities.
An option is a contract conveying a right to buy or sell a financial instrument at a specified price during a stipulated period. When a Fund writes a call or a put option, it receives a premium which is equal to the current market value of the option written. The premiums on written options are recorded as a liability on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. If a Fund purchases a call or a put option, it pays a premium which reflects the current market value of the option and which is included on the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an investment. The option position is marked to market daily and its value fluctuates based upon the value of the underlying financial instrument, time to expiration, cost of borrowing funds, and volatility of the value of the underlying financial instrument. If an option which a Fund has written either expires on its stipulated expiration date, or if the Fund enters into a closing purchase transaction, the Fund realizes a gain (or loss if the cost of a closing purchase transaction exceeds the premium received when the option was written) without regard to any unrealized gain or loss on the underlying security, and the liability related to such options is extinguished. If a call option which a Fund has written is exercised, the Fund realizes a gain or loss from the sale of the underlying security and the proceeds from such sale are increased by the premium originally received. If a put option which a Fund has written is exercised, the amount of the premium originally received reduces the cost of the security which the Fund purchased upon exercise of the option. Options may be traded on a national securities exchange or in the OTC market.
Risks to the Funds of entering into option contracts include counterparty risk, market risk and, with respect to OTC options, illiquidity risk. Counterparty risk arises from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts. If the counterparty defaults, the Fund’s loss will consist of the net amount of contractual payments that the Fund has not yet received. Market risk is the risk that there will be an unfavorable change in the value of the underlying securities, and for written options, may result in losses in excess of the amounts shown on the statement and assets and liabilities. There is also the risk a Fund may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid market. In addition, unlisted options are not traded on an exchange and may not be as actively traded as listed options, making the valuation of such securities more difficult. An unlisted option also entails a greater risk that the party on the other side of the option transaction may default, which would make it impossible to close out an unlisted option position in some cases, and profits related to the transaction lost thereby.
Option contracts outstanding at the end of the period, if any, are reported on a schedule at the end of each Fund’s Portfolio of Investments.
Swap Contracts: Certain Funds may enter into credit default, interest rate and/or total return swap contracts. Swap contracts are privately negotiated in the OTC market and may be entered into as a bilateral contract or a centrally cleared contract (“centrally cleared swaps”). In a centrally cleared swap, immediately following execution of the swap contract, the swap contract is novated to a central counterparty (the “CCP”) and a Fund faces the CCP through a broker. Upon entering into a centrally cleared swap, a Fund is required to deposit initial margin with the broker in the form of cash or securities in an amount that varies depending on the size and risk profile of the particular swap. Securities deposited as initial margin are designated on the Portfolio of Investments and cash deposited is recorded on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as cash collateral for centrally cleared swap contracts. Unlike a bilateral swap contract, for centrally cleared swaps, a Fund has no credit exposure to the counterparty as the CCP stands between the Fund and the counterparty. Swaps are marked-to-market daily and the changes in value are recorded as an unrealized gain (loss). The daily change in valuation of swap contracts, if any, is recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on swap contracts. When the swap is terminated, a Fund will record a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from (or cost of) the closing transaction and the Fund’s basis in the contract, if any. Generally, the basis of the contracts is the premium received or paid. Upfront payments and receipts on swap contracts are amortized on a daily basis. Net periodic payments made or received by a Fund are included as part of realized gain (loss).

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — April 30, 2021 — (unaudited) (continued)
Total Return Swaps: During the period, the Commodity Strategy Fund used total return swaps for investment purposes in order to provide exposure to commodities.
Total return swaps give a Fund the right to receive the appreciation in the value of a specified security, index or other instrument in return for a fee paid to the counterparty, which will typically be an agreed upon interest rate. If the underlying asset in a total return swap declines in value over the term of the swap, a Fund may also be required to pay the dollar value of that decline to the counterparty.
The Fund will generally enter into total return swaps only on a net basis, which means that the two payment streams are netted against each other, with the Fund receiving or paying, as the case may be, only the net amount of the two payments. Payments may be made at the conclusion of a total return swap contract or periodically during its term. Total return swaps normally do not involve the delivery of securities or other underlying assets. Accordingly, the risk of loss with respect to total return swaps is normally limited to the net amount of payments that the Fund is contractually obligated to make. If the counterparty to a total return swap defaults, the Fund’s risk of loss consists of the net discounted amount of payments that the Fund is contractually entitled to receive, if any.
Total return swap contracts outstanding at the end of the period, if any, are reported on a schedule at the end of the Fund’s Portfolio of Investments.
Risks of Entering into Swap Agreements: Risks to a Fund of entering into credit default swaps, total return swaps and interest rate swaps, include credit risk, market risk, counterparty risk, liquidity risk and documentation risk. By entering into swap agreements, a Fund may be exposed to risk of potential loss due to unfavorable changes in interest rates, the price of the underlying security or index, or the underlying referenced asset’s perceived or actual credit, that the counterparty may default on its obligation to perform or the possibility that there is no liquid market for these agreements. There is also the risk that the parties may disagree as to the meaning of contractual terms in the swap agreement. In addition, to the extent that a subadviser does not accurately analyze and predict the underlying economic factors influencing the value of the swap, a Fund may suffer a loss, which may be in excess of the amount reflected on the statement of assets and liabilities.
Risks of Commodity-Linked Derivatives: Commodity-linked derivatives are derivative instruments, the value of which is primarily linked to the price movement of a commodity, commodity index or commodity futures or option contract. The commodity-linked derivative instruments in which certain of the Funds invest have substantial risks, including risk of loss of a significant portion of their principal value. Commodity-linked derivative instruments may be more volatile and less liquid than the underlying instruments and their value will be affected by the performance of the commodity markets, as well as economic and other regulatory or political developments, overall market movements and other factors. Typically, the return of the commodity-linked swaps will be based on some multiple of the performance of an index. The multiple (or leverage) will magnify the positive and negative return the Fund earns from these swaps as compared to the index.
Master Agreements: Certain Funds that hold derivative instruments and other financial instruments may be a party to ISDA (International Swap and Derivatives Association, Inc.) Master Agreements or similar agreements (“Master Agreements”) with certain counterparties that govern such instruments. Master Agreements may contain provisions regarding, among other things, the parties’ general obligations, representations, agreements, collateral requirements, events of default and early termination. Collateral can be in the form of cash or securities as agreed to by a Fund and applicable counterparty. Collateral requirements are generally determined based on a Fund’s net position with each counterparty. Master Agreements may also include certain provisions that require a Fund to post additional collateral upon the occurrence of certain events, such as when a Fund’s net assets fall below a specified level. In addition, Master Agreements typically specify certain standard termination events, such as failure of a party to pay or deliver, credit support defaults and other events of default. Termination events applicable to a Fund may also occur upon a decline in a Fund’s net assets below a specified level over a certain period of time. Additional termination events applicable to counterparties may occur upon a decline in a counterparty’s long-term and short-term credit ratings below a specified level, or upon a decline in the ratings of a counterparty’s credit support provider. Upon the occurrence of a termination event, the other party may elect to terminate early and cause settlement of all instruments outstanding pursuant to a particular Master Agreement, including the payment of any losses and costs resulting from such early termination, as reasonably determined by the terminating party. Any decision by one or more of a Fund’s counterparties to elect early termination could
SunAmerica Specialty Series
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — April 30, 2021 — (unaudited) (continued)
cause a Fund to accelerate the payment of liabilities, which settlement amounts could be in excess of the amount of assets that are already posted as collateral. Typically, the Master Agreement will permit a single net payment in the event of default. Note, however, that bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against the right of offset in bankruptcy, insolvency or other events. As a result, the early termination with respect to derivative instruments subject to Master Agreements that are in a net liability position could be material to a Fund’s financial statements. The Funds do not offset derivative assets and derivative liabilities that are subject to netting arrangements in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

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.

Securities Transactions, Investment Income, Expenses, Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders: Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses on sales of investments are calculated on the identified cost basis.
Interest income is accrued daily from settlement date except when collection is not expected. For financial statement purposes, the Funds amortize all premiums and accrete all discounts on fixed income securities. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date except for certain dividends from foreign securities, which are recorded as soon as the Trust is informed after the ex-dividend date.
Securities purchased or sold on a when-issued or forward commitment basis outstanding at the end of the period, if any, are included in investments purchased/sold on an extended settlement basis in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Distributions received from Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REIT”) investments are recharacterized based on information provided by the REIT into the following categories: ordinary income, long-term and short-term capital gains and return of capital. If information is not available on a timely basis from the REIT, the recharacterization will be based on available information which may include the previous year’s allocation. If new or additional information becomes available from the REIT at a later date, a recharacterization will be made in the following year. The amount recharacterized as ordinary income is recorded as dividend income and the amount recharacterized as capital gain is recorded as realized gain in the Statement of Operations. The amount recharacterized as return of capital is recorded as a reduction to the cost of investments in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. These recharacterizations are reflected in the accompanying financial statements.
Expenses common to all Funds are allocated among the Funds based on relative net assets or other appropriate methods. In all other respects, expenses are charged to each Fund as incurred on a specific identification basis.
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 the current capital share activity of the respective class).
Dividends from net investment income, if any, are normally paid monthly for the Income Explorer Fund and quarterly for the ESG Dividend Fund. All other Funds pay 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 the 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 each Fund will not be subject to excise tax on undistributed income and gains. Therefore, no federal income tax or excise tax provision is required.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — April 30, 2021 — (unaudited) (continued)
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.
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 LIBOR, Euro Interbank Offered Rate and other similar types of reference rates (each, a “Reference Rate”). On July 27, 2017, the Chief Executive of the UK Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”), which regulates LIBOR, announced that the FCA will no longer persuade nor require banks to submit rates for the calculation of LIBOR and certain other Reference Rates after 2021. On March 5, 2021, the FCA and LIBOR’s administrator announced that most LIBOR settings will no longer be published after June 30, 2023. Such announcements indicate that the continuation of LIBOR and other Reference Rates on the current basis cannot and will not be guaranteed. These announcements and any additional regulatory or market changes may have an adverse impact on a Fund or its investments.
Regulators and market participants are working together to identify or develop successor Reference Rates. It is expected that market participants will focus on the transition mechanisms by which the Reference Rates in existing contracts or instruments may be amended, whether through market wide protocols, fallback contractual provisions, bespoke negotiations or amendments or otherwise. Nonetheless, the termination of certain Reference Rates presents risks to a 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, and these changes could have an adverse impact on the market for or value of any securities or payments linked to those Reference Rates and other financial obligations held by a 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 net asset value.
Recent Accounting and Regulatory Developments: 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 for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Adoption of the ASU had no material impact on the Funds.
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04 “Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting”, which provides optional, temporary relief with respect to the financial reporting of contracts subject to certain types of modifications due to the planned discontinuation of LIBOR and other interbank offered based reference rates at of the end of 2021. The temporary relief provided by ASU 2020-04 is effective for certain reference rate-related contract modifications that occur during the period March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. Management is evaluating the potential impact of ASU 2020-04 on the financial statements.

On December 3, 2020, the SEC announced that it voted to adopt a new rule that establishes an updated regulatory framework for fund valuation practices (the “Rule”). The Rule, in part, provides (i) a framework for determining fair value in good faith and (ii) provides for a fund Board’s assignment of its responsibility for the execution of valuation related activities to a fund’s investment adviser. Further, the SEC is rescinding previously issued guidance on related issues. The Rule became effective on March 8, 2021 and has a compliance date of September 8, 2022 (eighteen months following the effective date). Management is currently evaluating the Rule and its impact to the Funds.
Note 4. Investment Advisory and Management Agreements, Distribution and Service Agreements
The Trust, on behalf of each Fund, has entered into Investment Advisory and Management Agreements (the “Agreements”) with SunAmerica. Under the Agreements, SunAmerica provides continuous supervision of each Fund’s portfolio and administrative affairs, subject to general review by the Board. In connection therewith, SunAmerica furnishes the Funds with office facilities, maintains certain of the Funds’ books and records, pays the salaries and expenses of all personnel, including officers of the Funds who are employees of SunAmerica and its affiliates and oversees the performance of services provided to the Funds by third parties. Pursuant to the Agreements, the Funds pay SunAmerica a management fee at an annual rate based on average daily net assets, which is computed daily and payable monthly, as follows:

The Commodity Strategy Subsidiary has entered into a separate contract with SunAmerica whereby SunAmerica provides investment advisory and other services to the Commodity Strategy Subsidiary. In consideration of these services, the Commodity Strategy Subsidiary pays SunAmerica a management fee at the annual rate of 1.00% of average daily net assets of the Commodity Strategy Subsidiary. SunAmerica has contractually agreed to waive the management fee it receives from the Commodity Strategy Fund in an amount equal to the management fee paid by the Commodity Strategy Subsidiary to SunAmerica (the “Commodity Strategy Subsidiary management fee waiver”). This waiver may not be terminated by SunAmerica, and will remain in effect for as long as SunAmerica’s contract with the Commodity Strategy Subsidiary is in place. For the period ended April 30, 2021, the amount of advisory fees waived was $27,897.
Pursuant to the Subadvisory Agreement between SunAmerica and Wellington Management Company LLP (“Wellington”) (the “Commodity Strategy Subadvisory Agreement”), SunAmerica has delegated portfolio management responsibilities of the Commodity Strategy Fund to Wellington. Pursuant to a Subadvisory Agreement between SunAmerica and Wellington with respect to the Commodity Strategy Subsidiary, SunAmerica has delegated portfolio management responsibilities of the Commodity Strategy Subsidiary to Wellington. Payments to Wellington for its services are made by SunAmerica, not by the Fund.
Pursuant to the Subadvisory Agreement between SunAmerica and Marsico Capital Management, LLC (“Marsico”) and the Subadvisory Agreement between SunAmerica and Blackrock Investment Management, LLC (“Blackrock”), SunAmerica has delegated portfolio management responsibilities of the Focused Alpha Large-Cap Fund to Marsico and Blackrock. Each Subadviser is paid by SunAmerica and not the Fund.
Pursuant to the Subadvisory Agreement between SunAmerica and Marsico, and the Subadvisory Agreement between SunAmerica and BAMCO, Inc. (“BAMCO”), SunAmerica has delegated portfolio management responsibilities of the Focused Growth Fund to Marsico and BAMCO. Each subadviser is paid by SunAmerica and not the Fund.
Prior to December 15, 2020 (the “Effective Date”), SunAmerica delegated a portion of portfolio management responsibilities of the Small-Cap Quality Fund to Cadence. Cadence was paid by SunAmerica and not by the Fund. As of the Effective Date, Cadence no longer serves as subadviser to the Fund, and SunAmerica assumed day-to-day management responsibilities.

The Trust, on behalf of each Fund, has a Distribution Agreement with AIG Capital Services, Inc. (“ACS” or the “Distributor”), an affiliate of the Adviser. Each Fund has adopted a Distribution Plan on behalf of its Class A shares and Class C shares (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” and the “Class C Plan.” In adopting the Plans, the Trustees 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 and Class C Plan, the Distributor receives payments from a Fund at an annual rate of 0.10% 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. The distribution costs for which the Distributor may be compensated 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 Plan may exceed the Distributor’s distribution costs as described above. The Plans further provide that the Class A and Class C shares of each Fund shall pay the Distributor an account maintenance fee up to an annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of such class of shares for payments to broker-dealers for providing account maintenance activities. The Distributor does not receive or retain any distribution and/or a account maintenance fees for any shares when the shareholder does not have a broker of record. For six months ended April 30, 2021, ACS received fees based upon the aforementioned rates (see Statement of Operations).
The Trust, on behalf of each 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 six months ended April 30, 2021, ACS earned fees based upon the aforementioned rates (see Statement of Operations).

Note 8. Line of Credit
The Trust, along with certain other funds managed by the Adviser and exclusive of the Commodity Strategy Fund, has access to a $75 million committed unsecured line of credit and a $50 million uncommitted unsecured line of credit. The Commodity Strategy Fund has access to a $10 million committed secured line of credit. The committed and uncommitted lines of credit are renewable on an annual basis with State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street”), the Trust’s custodian. Prior to September 4, 2020, interest was 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 Trust, 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 was 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 Trust, 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 commitment fee of 30 basis points per annum on the daily unused portion of the committed line of credit.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — April 30, 2021 — (unaudited) (continued)
Borrowings under the line of credit will commence when the respective Fund’s cash shortfall exceeds $100,000. For the six months ended April 30, 2021, the following Funds had borrowings:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Fund
| | Days Outstanding
| | | Interest Charges
| | | Average Debt Utilized
| | | Weighted Average Interest
| |
ESG Dividend | | | 3 | | | $ | 48 | | | $ | 40,000 | | | | 1.44 | % |
Focused Growth | | | 22 | | | | 1,571 | | | | 1,772,727 | | | | 1.45 | |
Income Explorer | | | 50 | | | | 347 | | | | 173,000 | | | | 1.44 | |
Small-Cap Quality | | | 9 | | | | 254 | | | | 700,000 | | | | 1.45 | |
At April 30, 2021, ESG Dividend, Focused Growth and Small-Cap Quality had outstanding borrowings of $675,000, $625,000 and $425,000, respectively.
Note 9. Expense Reductions
Through expense offset arrangements resulting from broker commission recapture, a portion of the expenses of certain Funds have been reduced. For the six months ended April 30, 2021, the amount of expense reductions received by each Fund used to offset non-affiliated expenses are reflected as Fees paid indirectly in the Statement of Operations.
Note 10. 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 six months ended April 30, 2021, none of the Funds participated in this program.
Note 11. Investment Concentration
Each Fund may invest in obligations issued by agencies and instrumentalities of the U.S. Government that may vary in the level of support they receive from the government. The government may choose not to provide financial support to government sponsored agencies or instrumentalities if it is not legally obligated to do so, and if the issuer defaults, a fund holding securities of such issuer might not be able to recover its investment from the U.S. Government. As a result of the Commodity Strategy Funds’ concentration in such investments, these funds may be subject to risks associated with U.S. Government agencies or instrumentalities.
The Commodity Strategy Fund’s exposure to the commodities markets may subject the Fund to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities. The value of commodity-linked derivative instruments may be affected by changes in overall market movements, commodity index volatility, changes in interest rates, or sectors affecting a particular industry or commodity, such as drought, floods, weather, livestock disease, embargoes, tariffs and international economic, political and regulatory developments.
Note 12. Security Transactions with Affiliated Portfolios
The Funds are permitted to transfer securities by purchasing from and/or selling to other affiliated funds under certain conditions approved by the Board of Trustees. The affiliated funds involved in such transactions must have a common investment adviser or investment advisers which are affiliated persons of each other, common Trustees, and/or common officers in compliance with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Pursuant to the Act, such a transaction must be either a purchase or a sale, for no consideration other than cash payment against prompt delivery of the security at the current market price. No brokerage commission or fee (except for customary transfer fees), or other remuneration is paid in connection with such transactions. For the six months ended April 30, 2021, none of the Funds engaged in security transactions with affiliated Funds.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — April 30, 2021 — (unaudited) (continued)
Note 13. Other Matters
The coronavirus pandemic and the related governmental and public responses have had and may continue to have an impact on the Fund’s investments and net asset value and have led and may continue to lead to increased market volatility and the potential for illiquidity in certain classes of securities and sectors of the market. Preventative or protective actions that governments may take in respect of pandemic or epidemic diseases may result in periods of business disruption, business closures, inability to obtain raw materials, supplies and component parts, and reduced or disrupted operations for the issuers in which the Fund invests. Government intervention in markets may impact interest rates, market volatility and security pricing. The occurrence, reoccurrence and pendency of such diseases could adversely affect the economies (including through changes in business activity and increased unemployment) and financial markets either in specific countries or worldwide.
SunAmerica and Touchstone Advisors, Inc. (“Touchstone”) announced that they have entered into a definitive agreement for Touchstone to acquire certain assets related to SunAmerica’s retail mutual fund management business (the “AIG Funds”). Under the terms of the agreement, subject to shareholder approval, twelve of the AIG Funds, including the Focused Alpha Large-Cap Fund and the Focused Growth Fund, are expected to be reorganized into either existing or newly created series of trusts in the Touchstone fund complex (the “Reorganizations”), and subsequently will be advised by Touchstone under its sub-advised mutual fund approach. Certain AIG Funds not covered by the agreement, including the Commodity Strategy Fund, the ESG Dividend Fund, the Income Explorer Fund and the Small-Cap Quality Fund (the “Liquidating Funds”), will be liquidated. On February 8, 2021, the Boards of Directors/Trustees of the AIG Funds unanimously approved each of the proposed Reorganizations and the proposal to close the Liquidating Funds to new and subsequent investments and thereafter to liquidate and dissolve the Liquidating Funds pursuant to a Plan of Liquidation. Under the Plan of Liquidation, the Liquidating Funds expected to be liquidated on or about July 16, 2021.
On June 10th, shareholders of the Focused Alpha Large-Cap Fund and Focused Growth Fund approved the Reorganizations with respect to each such AIG Fund.

The Trust’s Forms N-PORT are available on the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission website at http://www.sec.gov. | | DELIVERY OF SHAREHOLDER DOCUMENTS 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.
