Dear Anchor Series Trust Investor:
We are pleased to present our annual report for the Anchor Series Trust, the underlying investment portfolios for the series of variable products issued by our Life Companies.
The following report contains the investment portfolio information and the financial statements of the Anchor Series Trust portfolios for the reporting period ended December 31, 2020. The report may also contain information on portfolios not currently available in your variable contract.
We believe this information will give you some insight into the performance of your underlying investments. If you have any questions, please contact your investment representative, or you may contact us directly at 1-800-445-7862.
Thank you for the confidence you place in us with your financial future, and we look forward to reporting to you once again in six months.
Sincerely,
John T. Genoy
President
Anchor Series Trust
Note: All performance figures quoted are for the Anchor Series Trust. They do not reflect fees and charges associated with the variable annuity. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Annuities are long-term investment vehicles designed for retirement purposes. Early withdrawal may be subject to withdrawal charges and if taken prior to age 59 1/2, a 10% federal tax penalty may apply. An investment in a variable annuity involves investment risk, including possible loss of principal. The contract, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the total amount invested.
Investments in stocks and bonds are subject to risks, including stock market and interest rate fluctuations. Investments in growth stocks as well as small and mid-cap company stocks may be subject to volatile price swings and therefore present a greater potential for loss than other investments. Investments in non-U.S. stocks and bonds are subject to additional risks such as fluctuations in foreign currencies, political and economic instability, differences in securities regulation and accounting standards, foreign tax laws, and limited availability of public information. Income seeking investment strategies may not be realized due to changes in dividend policies or the availability of capital resources.
Investments that concentrate on one economic sector or geographic region are generally subject to greater volatility than more diverse investments. Investments in real estate investment trusts (REITs) involve risks such as refinancing, economic conditions in the real estate industry, changes in property values, dependency on real estate management, and other risks associated with a concentration in one sector or geographic region. Investments in securities related to gold and other precious metals and minerals are speculative and impacted by a host of worldwide economic, financial and political factors.
Investments in debt securities are subject to credit risk (i.e., the risk that an issuer might not pay interest when due or repay principal at maturity of the obligation). Investments in lower-rated bonds and “junk bonds” are considered speculative due to the heightened risk of default and are subject to unpredictable losses as a result of changes in the issuer’s creditworthiness.
Investments in derivatives are subject to heightened risk; gains or losses from non-hedging positions may be substantially greater than the cost of the position. Active trading may result in high portfolio turnover and correspondingly greater transaction costs for the portfolio and underlying portfolios.
There can be no assurance that the Portfolios will meet their investment objectives. A full description of the investment goals, principal strategies, and risks for each Portfolio are provided in the prospectus.

EXPENSE EXAMPLE December 31, 2020 |
(unaudited)
Disclosure of Portfolio Expenses in Shareholder Reports
As a shareholder of a separate series (a “Portfolio”) in the Anchor Series Trust (the “Trust”), you incur ongoing costs, including management fees and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Portfolio expenses. The example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Portfolios and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at July 1, 2020 and held until December 31, 2020. Shares of the Trust are not offered directly to the public. Instead, shares are currently issued and redeemed only in connection with investments in and payments under variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies (“Variable Contracts”) offered by life insurance companies affiliated with SunAmerica Asset Management, LLC, the Trust’s investment adviser and manager, as well as non-affiliated life insurance companies. The fees and expenses associated with the Variable Contracts are not included in these examples, and had such fees and expenses been included, your costs would have been higher. Please see your variable contract prospectus for more details on the fees associated with the Variable Contract.
Actual Expenses
The “Actual” section of the table provides information about your actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in these columns, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the column under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During the Six Months Ended December 31, 2020” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. The “Expenses Paid During the Six Months Ended December 31, 2020” column and the “Annualized Expense Ratio” column do not include fees and expenses that may be charged by the Variable Contracts in which the Portfolios are offered. Had these fees and expenses been included, the “Expenses Paid During the Six Months Ended December 31, 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 Portfolio’s actual expense ratio and an annual rate of return of 5% before expenses, which is not the Portfolio’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in these Portfolios and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds. The “Expenses Paid During the Six Months Ended December 31, 2020” column and the “Annualized Expense Ratio” column do not include fees and expenses that may be charged by the Variable Contracts in which the Portfolios are offered. Had these fees and expenses been included, the “Expenses Paid During the Six Months Ended December 31, 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 fees and expenses that may be charged by the Variable Contracts. Please refer to your variable contract prospectus for more information. Therefore, the “Hypothetical” example is useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these fees and expenses were included, your costs would have been higher.

* | Expenses are equal to each Portfolio’s annualized expense ratio multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184 days in the period then divided by 366 days (to reflect the one-half year period). These ratios do not reflect fees and expenses associated with the Variable Contracts. If such fees and expenses had been included, the expenses would have been higher. Please refer to your Variable Contract prospectus for details on the expenses that apply to the Variable Contracts of the insurance companies. |
# | During the stated period, the investment adviser either waived a portion of or all fees and assumed a portion of or all expenses for the Portfolios or through recoupment provisions, recovered a portion of or all fees and expenses waived or reimbursed in the previous two fiscal years. As a result, if these fees and expenses had not been waived or assumed, the “Actual/Hypothetical Ending Account Value” would have been lower and the “Actual/Hypothetical Expenses Paid During the Six Months Ended December 31, 2020” and “Annualized Expense Ratio” would have been higher. If these fees and expenses had not been recouped, the “Actual/Hypothetical Ending Account Value” would have been higher and the “Actual/Hypothetical Expenses Paid During the Six Months Ended December 31, 2020” and the “Annualized Expense Ratio” would have been lower. |

† | Non-income producing security |
* | Securities exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933. These securities may be sold in transactions exempt from registration, normally to qualified institutional buyers. The Portfolio has no right to demand registration of these securities. At December 31, 2020, the aggregate value of these securities was $7,667,067 representing 4.5% of net assets. |
(1) | Perpetual maturity—maturity date reflects the next call date. |
(2) | Certain variable rate securities are not based on a published reference rate and spread but are determined by the issuer or agent and are based on current market conditions. These securities do not indicate a reference rate and spread in their description above. |
(3) | Collateralized Mortgage Obligation |
(4) | Commercial Mortgage Backed Security |
(5) | Company has filed for bankruptcy protection. |
(6) | Security in default of interest. |
(7) | Interest Only |
(8) | Inverse Floating Rate Security that pays interest that varies inversely to changes in the market interest rates. The interest rate shown is the current interest rate at December 31, 2020. |
(9) | The Portfolio invests in senior loans which generally pay interest at rates which are periodically re-determined by reference to a base lending rate plus a premium. These base lending rates are generally either the lending rate offered by one or more major European banks, such as the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or the prime rate offered by one or more major United States banks, or the certificate of deposit rate. Senior loans are generally considered to be restrictive in that the Portfolio is ordinarily contractually obligated to receive approval from the Agent Bank and/or borrower prior to the disposition of a senior loan. |
(10) | Senior loans in the Portfolio are generally subject to mandatory and/or optional prepayment. Because of these mandatory prepayment conditions and because there may be significant economic incentives for a borrower to prepay, prepayments may occur. As a result, the actual remaining maturity may be substantially less than the stated maturities shown. |
(11) | All loans in the Portfolio were purchased through assignment agreements unless otherwise indicated. |
(12) | See Note 6 for cost of investments on a tax basis. |
(13) | Securities classified as Level 3 (see Note 2). |

(1) | Securities classified as Level 3 (see Note 2). |
(2) | See Note 2 for details of Joint Repurchase Agreements. |
(3) | See Note 6 for cost of investments on a tax basis. |
(4) | Denotes a restricted security that: (a) cannot be offered for public sale without first being registered, or being able to take advantage of an exemption from registration, under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”); (b) is subject to a contractual restriction on public sales; or (c) is otherwise subject to a restriction on sales by operation of applicable law. Restricted securities are valued pursuant to Note 2. Certain restricted securities held by the Portfolio may not be sold except in exempt transactions or in a public offering registered under the 1933 Act. The Portfolio has no right to demand registration of these securities. The risk of investing in certain restricted securities is greater than the risk of investing in the securities of widely held, publicly traded companies. To the extent applicable, lack of a secondary market and resale restrictions may result in the inability of a Portfolio to sell a security at a fair price and may substantially delay the sale of the security. In addition, certain restricted securities may exhibit greater price volatility than securities for which secondary markets exist. As of December 31, 2020, the Portfolio held the following restricted securities: |

ANCHOR SERIES TRUST
December 31, 2020
Note 1. Organization
Anchor Series Trust (the “Trust”), organized as a business trust under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts on August 26, 1983, is an open-end management investment company and consists of 5 separate series or portfolios (each, a “Portfolio” and collectively, the “Portfolios”). The Portfolios are managed by SunAmerica Asset Management, LLC (“SAAMCo” or the “Adviser”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of American International Group, Inc. (“AIG”). Shares of the Trust are issued and redeemed only in connection with investments in and payments under variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies (the “Variable Contracts”) of American General Life Insurance Company, a Texas life insurer (“AGL”), The United States Life Insurance Company in the City of New York, a New York life insurer (“USL”), and The Variable Annuity Life Insurance Company, a Texas life insurer (“VALIC”), each an affiliated insurance company of SAAMCo; and variable contracts issued by Phoenix Life Insurance Company, an unaffiliated life insurance company. The life insurance companies listed above are collectively referred to as the “Life Companies.” All shares of the Trust are owned by “separate accounts” of the Life Companies. The Trust issues separate series of shares (the “Portfolios”), each of which represents a separate managed portfolio of securities with its own investment goal. All shares may be purchased or redeemed at net asset value without any sales or redemption charge.
Class 1 shares, Class 2 shares and Class 3 shares of each Portfolio may be offered in connection with certain Variable Contracts. Class 2 and Class 3 shares of a given Portfolio are identical in all respects to Class 1 shares of the same Portfolio, except that (i) each class may bear differing amounts of certain class-specific expenses, (ii) Class 2 and Class 3 shares are subject to service fees, while Class 1 shares are not, and (iii) Class 2 and Class 3 shares have voting rights on matters that pertain to the Rule 12b-1 plan adopted with respect to Class 2 and Class 3 shares. Class 2 and Class 3 shares of each Portfolio pay service fees at an annual rate of 0.15% and 0.25%, respectively, of each class’ average daily net assets.
The investment goal for each Portfolio is as follows:
The SA PGI Asset Allocation Portfolio seeks high total return (including income and capital gains) consistent with long-term preservation of capital. Its strategy is to invest in a diversified portfolio that may include common stocks and other securities with common stock characteristics, bonds and other intermediate and long-term fixed income securities and money market instruments.
The SA Wellington Capital Appreciation Portfolio seeks long-term capital appreciation. Its strategy is to invest in growth equity securities across a wide range of industries and companies, using a wide-ranging and flexible stock selection approach.
The SA Wellington Government and Quality Bond Portfolio seeks relatively high current income, liquidity and security of principal. Its strategy is to invest, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of net assets in obligations issued, guaranteed or insured by the U.S. Government, its agencies or instrumentalities and in high quality corporate fixed income securities (rated AA– or better by Standard & Poor’s Corporation or Aa3 or better by Moody’s Investor Services, Inc. or its equivalent by any other nationally recognized statistical rating organization).
The SA Wellington Strategic Multi-Asset Portfolio seeks high long-term total investment return. Its strategy is to invest the Portfolio’s assets among global equity and global fixed income securities to achieve total investment return.
Indemnifications: The Trust’s organizational documents provide officers and trustees with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. In addition, pursuant to Indemnification Agreements between the Trust and each of the current trustees who is not an “interested person,” as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), of the Trust (collectively, the “Disinterested Trustees”), the Trust provides the Disinterested Trustees with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust, whether such liabilities are asserted during or after their service as trustees. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts that contain the obligation to indemnify others. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. Currently, however, the Trust expects the risk of loss to be remote.
Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates and those differences could be significant. The Portfolios are considered investment companies under GAAP and follow the accounting and reporting guidance applicable to investment companies. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements:
Security Valuation
In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures under GAAP, the Portfolios disclose the fair value of their investments in a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure the fair value. In accordance with GAAP, fair value is defined as the price that the Portfolios would receive upon selling an asset or transferring a

Table of Contents
liability in a timely transaction to an independent third party in the principal or most advantageous market. GAAP establishes a three-tier hierarchy to provide more transparency around the inputs used to measure fair value and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk. Inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The three tiers are as follows:
Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
Level 2 — Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, referenced indices, quoted prices in inactive markets, adjusted quoted prices in active markets, adjusted quoted prices on foreign equity securities that were adjusted in accordance with pricing procedures approved by the Board of Trustees (the “Board”), etc.)
Level 3 — Significant unobservable inputs (includes inputs that reflect the Portfolios’ own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the security, developed based on the best information available under the circumstances)
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned Level within the hierarchy. The methodology used for valuing investments is not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those investments and the determination of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and consideration of factors specific to each security.
The availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of security, whether the security is recently issued and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to the security. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3.
The summary of each Portfolio’s assets and liabilities classified in the fair value hierarchy as of December 31, 2020, is reported on a schedule at the end of each Portfolio’s Portfolio of Investments.
Stocks are generally valued based upon closing sales prices reported on recognized securities exchanges on which the securities are principally traded and are generally categorized as Level 1. Stocks listed on the NASDAQ are valued using the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (“NOCP”). Generally, the NOCP will be the last sale price unless the reported trade for the stock is outside the range of the bid/ask price. In such cases, the NOCP will be normalized to the nearer of the bid or ask price. For listed securities having no sales reported and for unlisted securities, such securities will be valued based upon the last reported bid price.
As of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), securities traded primarily on security exchanges outside the United States are valued at the last sale price on such exchanges on the day of valuation, or if there is no sale on the day of valuation, at the last-reported bid price. If a security’s price is available from more than one exchange, the Portfolios use the exchange that is the primary market for the security. Such securities are generally categorized as Level 1. However, depending on the foreign market, closing prices may be up to 15 hours old when they are used to price a Portfolio’s shares, and the Portfolio may determine that certain closing prices do not reflect the fair value of the security. This determination will be based on the review of a number of factors, including developments in foreign markets, the performance of U.S. securities markets, and the performance of instruments trading in U.S. markets that represent foreign securities and baskets of foreign securities. If a Portfolio determines that closing prices do not reflect the fair value of the securities, the Portfolio will adjust the previous closing prices in accordance with pricing procedures approved by the Board to reflect what it believes to be the fair value of the securities as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE. The Portfolios may also fair value securities in other situations, for example, when a particular foreign market is closed but a Portfolio is open. For foreign equity securities and foreign equity futures contracts, the Portfolios use an outside pricing service to provide it with closing market prices and information used for adjusting those prices, and when so adjusted, such securities and futures are generally categorized as Level 2.
Bonds, debentures, and other debt securities, are valued at evaluated bid prices obtained for the day of valuation from a Board-approved pricing service, and are generally categorized as Level 2. The pricing service may use valuation models or matrix pricing which considers information with respect to comparable bond and note transactions, quotations from bond dealers, or by reference to other securities that are considered comparable in such characteristics as rating, interest rate, and maturity date, option adjusted spread models, prepayments projections, interest rate spreads, and yield curves to determine current value. If a price is unavailable from a Board-approved pricing service, the securities may be priced at the mean of two independent quotes obtained from brokers.
Senior floating rate loans (“Loans”) are valued at the average of available bids in the market for such Loans, as provided by a Board-approved loan pricing service, and are generally categorized as Level 2.
Investments in registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end of day net asset value per share. Investments in registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded. Investments in registered investment companies are generally categorized as Level 1.

Table of Contents
Futures contracts traded on national securities exchanges are valued at the quoted daily settlement price established by the exchange on which they trade reported by a Board-approved pricing service, and are generally categorized as Level 1. Option contracts traded on national securities exchanges are valued at the mean of the last bid and ask price reported by a Board-approved pricing service as of the close of the exchange on which they are traded, and are generally categorized as Level 1. Option contracts traded in the over-the-counter (“OTC”) market are valued at the mid-valuation provided by a Board-approved pricing service, and are generally categorized as Level 2. Forward foreign currency contracts (“forward contracts”) are valued at the 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time forward rate and are generally categorized as Level 2.
Other securities are valued on the basis of last sale or bid price (if a last sale price is not available) which is, in the opinion of the Adviser, the broadest and most representative market, that may be either a securities exchange or OTC market and are generally categorized as Level 1 or Level 2.
The Board is responsible for the share valuation process and has adopted policies and procedures (the “PRC Procedures”) for valuing the securities and other assets held by the Portfolios, including procedures for the fair valuation of securities and other assets for which market quotations are not readily available or are unreliable. The PRC Procedures provide for the establishment of a pricing review committee, which is responsible for, among other things, making certain determinations in connection with the Trust’s fair valuation procedures. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or the values of which may be significantly impacted by the occurrence of developments or significant events are generally categorized as Level 3. There is no single standard for making fair value determinations, which may result in prices that vary from those of other funds.
Derivative Instruments
Forward Foreign Currency Contracts: During the period, the SA Wellington Strategic Multi-Asset Portfolio used forward contracts to attempt to protect the value of securities and related receivables and payables against changes in future foreign exchange rates, to manage and/or gain exposure to certain foreign currencies and/or to attempt to enhance return.
A forward contract is an agreement between two parties to buy or sell currency at a set price on a future date. The market value of the contract will fluctuate with changes in currency exchange rates. The contract is marked-to-market daily using the forward rate and the cumulative change in market value is recorded by a Portfolio as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. On the settlement date, a Portfolio records either realized gains or losses equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.
Risks to the Portfolios of entering into forward contracts include counterparty risk, market risk and illiquidity risk. Counterparty risk arises upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts. If the counterparty defaults, a Portfolio’s loss will generally consist of the net amount of contractual payments that the Portfolio has not yet received though the Portfolio’s maximum exposure due to counterparty risk could extend to the notional amount of the contract. Market risk is the risk that the value of the forward contract will depreciate due to unfavorable changes in the exchange rates. These contracts may involve market risk in excess of the unrealized appreciation or depreciation reported on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Illiquidity risk arises because the secondary market for forwards may have less liquidity relative to markets for other securities. Currency transactions are also subject to risks different from those of other portfolio transactions. Because currency control is of great importance to the issuing governments and influences economic planning and policy, purchases and sales of currency and related instruments can be adversely affected by government exchange controls, limitations or restrictions on repatriation of currency, and manipulations or exchange restrictions imposed by governments.
Forward foreign currency contracts outstanding at the end of the period, if any, are reported on a schedule at the end of the Portfolio’s Portfolio of Investments.
Futures: During the period, SA Wellington Government and Quality Bond and the SA Wellington Strategic Multi-Asset Portfolios used futures contracts to attempt to increase or decrease exposure to equity, bond and currency markets and to manage duration and yield curve positioning.
A futures contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a financial instrument at a set price on a future date. Upon entering into a futures transaction, a Portfolio will be required to segregate an initial margin payment of cash or other liquid securities with the futures commission merchant (the “broker”). Subsequent payments are made or received by the Portfolio as a result of changes in the value of the contract and/or changes in the value of the initial margin requirement. Such receipts or payments are recorded in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as variation margin for changes in the value of the contracts and as cash collateral for futures contracts for the changes in the value of the initial margin requirement. When a contract is closed, the Portfolios record a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.
The primary risk to the Portfolios of entering into futures contracts is market risk. Market risk is the risk that there will be an unfavorable change in the interest rate, value or currency rate of the underlying security or securities. Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of the variation margin disclosed on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. There may also be trading restrictions or limitations imposed by an exchange, and government regulations may restrict trading in futures contracts. While the Portfolios will generally only purchase exchange-traded futures, due to market conditions, there may not always be a liquid

secondary market for a futures contract and, as a result, a Portfolio may be unable to close out its futures contracts at a time which is advantageous. In addition, if a Portfolio has insufficient cash to meet margin requirements, the Portfolio may need to sell other investments, including at disadvantageous times. There is generally minimal counterparty risk to the Portfolios since the futures contracts are generally exchange-traded.
Futures contracts outstanding at the end of the period, if any, are reported on a schedule at the end of the Portfolio’s Portfolio of Investments.
Options: During the period, the SA Wellington Strategic Multi-Asset Portfolio used options contracts to seek protection against a decline in the value of a Portfolio’s securities or an increase in prices of securities that may be purchased or to generate income.
An option is a contract conveying a right to buy or sell a financial instrument at a specified price during a stipulated period. When a Portfolio writes a call or a put option, it receives a premium which is equal to the current market value of the option written. If a Portfolio purchases a call or a put option, it pays a premium which reflects the current market value of the option. The option position is marked to market daily and its value fluctuates based upon the value of the underlying financial instrument, time to expiration, cost of borrowing funds, and volatility of the value of the underlying financial instrument. If an option which a Portfolio has written either expires on its stipulated expiration date, or if the Portfolio enters into a closing purchase transaction, the Portfolio realizes a gain (or loss if the cost of a closing purchase transaction exceeds the premium received when the option was written) without regard to any unrealized gain or loss on the underlying security, and the liability related to such options is extinguished. If a call option which a Portfolio has written is exercised, the Portfolio realizes a gain or loss from the sale of the underlying security and the proceeds from such sale are increased by the premium originally received. If a put option which a Portfolio has written is exercised, the amount of the premium originally received reduces the cost of the security which the Portfolio purchased upon exercise of the option. Options may be traded on a national securities exchange or in the OTC market.
Risks to a Portfolio of entering into option contracts include counterparty risk, market risk and, with respect to OTC options, illiquidity risk. Counterparty risk arises from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts. If the counterparty defaults, a Portfolio’s loss will consist of the net amount of contractual payments that the Portfolio has not yet received. Market risk is the risk that there will be an unfavorable change in the value of the underlying securities. There is also the risk a Portfolio may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid market. In addition, unlisted options are not traded on an exchange and may not be as actively traded as listed options, making the valuation of such securities more difficult. An unlisted option also entails a greater risk that the party on the other side of the option transaction may default, which would make it impossible to close out an unlisted option position in some cases, and profits related to the transaction lost thereby.
Option contracts outstanding at the end of the period, if any, are reported on a schedule at the end of each Portfolio’s Portfolio of Investments.
Master Agreements: Certain Portfolios that hold derivative instruments and other financial instruments may be a party to ISDA (International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc.) Master Agreements or similar agreements (“Master Agreements”) with certain counterparties that govern such instruments. Master Agreements may contain provisions regarding, among other things, the parties’ general obligations, representations, agreements, collateral requirements, events of default and early termination. Collateral can be in the form of cash or securities as agreed to by a Portfolio and applicable counterparty. Collateral requirements are generally determined based on a Portfolio’s net position with each counterparty. Master Agreements may also include certain provisions that require a Portfolio to post additional collateral upon the occurrence of certain events, such as when a Portfolio’s net assets fall below a specified level. In addition, Master Agreements typically specify certain standard termination events, such as failure of a party to pay or deliver, credit support defaults and other events of default. Termination events applicable to a Portfolio may also occur upon a decline in a Portfolio’s net assets below a specified level over a certain period of time. Additional termination events applicable to counterparties may occur upon a decline in a counterparty’s long-term and short-term credit ratings below a specified level, or upon a decline in the ratings of a counterparty’s credit support provider. Upon the occurrence of a termination event, the other party may elect to terminate early and cause settlement of all instruments outstanding pursuant to a particular Master Agreement, including the payment of any losses and costs resulting from such early termination, as reasonably determined by the terminating party. Any decision by one or more of a Portfolio’s counterparties to elect early termination could cause a Portfolio to accelerate the payment of liabilities, which settlement amounts could be in excess of the amount of assets that are already posted as collateral. Typically, the Master Agreement will permit a single net payment in the event of default. Note, however, that bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against the right of offset in bankruptcy, insolvency or other events. As a result, the early termination with respect to derivative instruments subject to Master Agreements that are in a net liability position could be material to a Portfolio’s financial statements. The Portfolios do not offset derivative assets and derivative liabilities that are subject to netting arrangements in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

(2) | For each respective counterparty, collateral pledged or (received) is limited to an amount not to exceed 100% of the net amount of the derivative asset or liability in the table above. |
(3) | Net amount represents the net amount due (to) or from counterparty in the event of a default based on the contractual set-off rights under the agreement. |
Foreign Currency Translation: The books and records of the Portfolios are maintained in U.S. dollars. Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies and commitments under forward foreign currency contracts are translated into U.S. dollars based on the exchange rate of such currencies against U.S. dollars on the date of valuation.
The Portfolios do not isolate that portion of the results of operations arising as a result of changes in the foreign exchange rates from the changes in the market prices of securities held at the end of the period.
Similarly, the Portfolios do not isolate the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates from the changes in the market prices of portfolio securities sold during the period.
Realized foreign exchange gains and losses on other assets and liabilities and change in unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses on other assets and liabilities located in the Statements of Operations include realized foreign exchange gains and losses from currency gains or losses between the trade and the settlement dates of securities transactions, the difference between the amounts of interest, dividends and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Portfolios’ books and the U.S. dollar equivalent amounts actually received or paid and changes in the unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses relating to the other assets and liabilities arising as a result of changes in the exchange rates.
Securities Transactions, Investment Income, Expenses, Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders: Security transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses on the sale of investments are calculated on the identified cost basis. For financial statement purposes, the Portfolios amortize all premiums and accrete all discounts on fixed income securities.
Interest income is accrued daily from settlement date except when collection is not expected. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date except for certain dividends from foreign securities, which are recorded as soon as the Trust is informed after the ex-dividend date. Paydown gains and losses on mortgage and asset-backed securities are recorded as components of interest income on the Statement of Operations.
Portfolios which earn foreign income and capital gains may be subject to foreign withholding taxes and capital gains taxes at various rates. Under applicable foreign law, a withholding of tax may be imposed on interest, dividends, and capital gains from the sale of foreign securities at various rates. India, Thailand, and certain other countries’ tax regulations require that taxes be paid on capital gains realized by a Portfolio.

Table of Contents
Distributions received from a Portfolio’s investments in U.S. real estate investment trusts (“REITS”) often include a “return of capital” which is recorded as a reduction to the cost basis of the securities held.
Net investment income, expenses other than class specific expenses, and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the relative net asset value of outstanding shares of each class of share at the beginning of the day (after adjusting for current capital shares activity of the respective class).
Expenses common to all Portfolios are allocated among the Portfolios based upon relative net assets or other appropriate allocation methods. In all other respects, expenses are charged to each Portfolio as incurred on a specific identification basis.
Dividends from net investment income and capital gain distributions, if any, are paid annually. The Portfolios record dividends and distributions to their shareholders on the ex-dividend date.
The amount of dividends and distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are either considered temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts at fiscal year end based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification. Net assets are not affected by these reclassifications.
Each Portfolio is considered a separate entity for tax purposes and intends to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, applicable to regulated investment companies and distribute all of its taxable income, including any net capital gains on investments, to its shareholders. Each Portfolio also intends to distribute sufficient net investment income and net capital gains, if any, so that it will not be subject to excise tax on undistributed income and gains. Therefore, no federal income tax or excise tax provision is required.
The Portfolios recognize the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained, assuming examination by tax authorities. Management has analyzed each Portfolio’s tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions. The Portfolios are not aware of any tax provisions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next twelve months. The Portfolios file U.S. federal and certain state income tax returns. The Portfolios federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
Repurchase Agreements: The Portfolios, along with other affiliated registered investment companies, pursuant to procedures adopted by the Board and applicable guidance from the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), may transfer uninvested cash balances into a single joint account, the daily aggregate balance of which is invested in one or more repurchase agreements collateralized by U.S. Treasury or federal agency obligations. In a repurchase agreement, the seller of a security agrees to repurchase the security at a mutually agreed-upon time and price, which reflects the effective rate of return for the term of the agreement. For repurchase agreements and joint repurchase agreements, the Trust’s custodian takes possession of the collateral pledged for investments in such repurchase agreements (“repo” or collectively “repos”). The underlying collateral is valued daily on a mark to market basis, plus accrued interest to ensure that the value, at the time the agreement is entered into, is equal to at least 102% of the repurchase price, including accrued interest. In the event of default of the obligation to repurchase, a Portfolio has the right to liquidate the collateral and apply the proceeds in satisfaction of the obligation. If the seller defaults and the value of the collateral declines or if bankruptcy proceedings are commenced with respect to the seller of the security, realization of the collateral by a Portfolio may be delayed or limited.

Mortgage-Backed Dollar Rolls: Certain Portfolios may enter into dollar rolls using “to be announced” (“TBA”) mortgage-backed securities (“TBA Rolls”). TBA Roll transactions involve the sale of mortgage or other asset backed securities with the commitment to purchase substantially similar securities on a specified future date. The Portfolios’ policy is to record the components of TBA Rolls as purchase/sale transactions. Any difference between the purchase and sale price is recorded as a realized gain or loss on the date the transaction is entered into. TBA Roll transactions involve the risk that the market value of the securities held by a Portfolio may decline below the price of the securities that the Portfolio has sold but is obligated to repurchase under the agreement. In the event that the buyer of securities in a TBA Roll transaction files bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, a Portfolio’s use of the proceeds from the sale of the securities may be restricted pending a determination by the other party, or its trustee or receiver, whether to enforce the Portfolio’s obligation to repurchase the securities. Mortgage-Backed Dollar Rolls outstanding at the end of the period, if any, are included in investments purchased/sold on an extended settlement basis in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
When-Issued Securities and Forward Commitments: Certain Portfolios may purchase or sell when-issued securities, including TBA securities that have been authorized, but not yet issued in the market. In addition, a Portfolio may purchase or sell securities on a

forward commitment basis. A forward commitment involves entering into a contract to purchase or sell securities, typically on an extended settlement basis, for a fixed price at a future date. The Portfolios may engage in when-issued or forward commitment transactions in order to secure what is considered to be an advantageous price and yield at the time of entering into the obligation. The purchase of securities on a when-issued or forward commitment basis involves a risk of loss if the value of the security to be purchased declines before the settlement date. Conversely, the sale of securities on a when-issued or forward commitment basis involves the risk that the value of the securities sold may increase before the settlement date. Securities purchased or sold on a when-issued or forward commitment basis outstanding at the end of the period, if any, are included in investments purchased/sold on an extended settlement basis in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Stripped Mortgage-Backed Securities: Stripped Mortgage-Backed Securities (“SMBS”) are multiple-class mortgage-backed securities. SMBS are often structured with two classes that receive different proportions of the interest and principal distributions on a pool of mortgage assets. SMBS have greater market volatility than other types of U.S. government securities in which a Portfolio invests. A common type of SMBS has one class receiving some of the interest and all or most of the principal (the “principal only” class) from the mortgage pool, while the other class will receive all or most of the interest (the “interest only” class). The yield to maturity on an interest only class is extremely sensitive not only to changes in prevailing interest rates, but also to the rate of principal payments, including principal prepayments, on the underlying pool of mortgage assets, and a rapid rate of principal payment may have a material adverse effect on a Portfolio’s yield.
LIBOR Risk: A Portfolio’s investments, payment obligations and financing terms may be based on floating rates, such as 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 Portfolio or its investments.
In advance of 2021, regulators and market participants will 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 Portfolio. At this time, it is not possible to completely identify or predict the effect of any such changes, any establishment of alternative Reference Rates or any other reforms to Reference Rates that may be enacted in the UK or elsewhere. The elimination of a Reference Rate or any other changes or reforms to the determination or supervision of Reference Rates could have an adverse impact on the market for or value of any securities or payments linked to those Reference Rates and other financial obligations held by a Portfolio or on its overall financial condition or results of operations. In addition, any substitute Reference Rate and any pricing adjustments imposed by a regulator or by counterparties or otherwise may adversely affect a Portfolio’s performance and/or NAV.
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 effective 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 Portfolios.
On December 3, 2020, the SEC announced that it voted to adopt a new rule that establishes an updated regulatory framework for fund valuation practices (the “Rule”). The Rule, in part, provides (i) a framework for determining fair value in good faith and (ii) provides for a fund Board’s assignment of its responsibility for the execution of valuation-related activities to a fund’s investment adviser. Further, the SEC is rescinding previously issued guidance on related issues. The Rule will become effective 60 days after publication in the Federal Register, and will have a compliance date 18 months following the effective date. Management is currently evaluating the Rule and its impact to the Portfolios
Note 3. Investment Advisory Agreement and Other Transactions with Affiliates
The Trust has entered into an Investment Advisory and Management Agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with SAAMCo with respect to each Portfolio. SAAMCo serves as investment adviser and manager for each of the Portfolios. The Management Agreement provides that SAAMCo shall act as investment adviser to the Trust; manage the Trust’s investments; administer its business affairs; furnish offices, necessary facilities and equipment; provide clerical, bookkeeping and administrative services; and permit any of its officers or employees to serve, without compensation, as trustees or officers of the Trust, if duly elected to such positions.
The Trust pays SAAMCo a monthly fee, calculated daily at the following annual percentages of each Portfolio’s average daily net assets:
Portfolio | Average Daily Net Assets | Management Fee | ||||||

The organizations described below act as subadvisers to the Trust and certain of its Portfolios pursuant to Subadvisory Agreements with SAAMCo. Under the Subadvisory Agreements, the subadvisers manage the investment and reinvestment of the assets of the respective Portfolios for which they are responsible.
Each of the subadvisers is independent of SAAMCo and discharges its responsibilities subject to the policies of the Trust’s Trustees and the oversight and supervision of SAAMCo, which pays the subadvisers’ fees.

Class 2 and Class 3 shares of each Portfolio are subject to a Rule 12b-1 plan that provides for service fees payable at the annual rate of 0.15% and 0.25%, respectively of the average daily net assets of such Class 2 and Class 3 shares, respectively. The service fees will be used to compensate the Life Companies for expenditures made to financial intermediaries for providing services to contract holders who are the indirect beneficial owners of the Portfolios’ Class 2 and Class 3 shares.
The Trust has entered into a Master Transfer Agency and Services Agreement with VALIC Retirement Services Company (“VRSCO”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Variable Annuity Life Insurance Company (“VALIC”), which is an affiliate of the Adviser. Under the agreement, VRSCO provides services, which include the issuance and redemption of shares, payment of dividends between the Trust and their “institutional” shareholders and certain shareholder reporting services including confirmation of transactions, statements of account and tax reporting. The Trust, and certain other mutual funds advised by SAAMCo pay VRSCO an annual fee in the aggregate amount of $150,000 for Transfer Agency Services provided pursuant to the agreement, which is allocated based on shareholder accounts. Accordingly, for the year ended December 31, 2020, transfer agent fees were paid (see Statement of Operations) based on the aforementioned agreement.
SAAMCo has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses, if necessary, for the SA Wellington Strategic Multi-Asset Portfolio, so that the annual operating expenses do not exceed 0.86% for Class 1 shares and 1.11% for Class 3 shares, respectively. For the purposes of waived fee and/or reimbursed expense calculations, annual operating expenses shall not include extraordinary expenses (i.e., expenses that are unusual in nature and infrequent in occurrence, such as litigation), or acquired fund fees and expenses, brokerage commissions and other transactional expenses relating to the purchase and sale of portfolio securities, interest, taxes and governmental fees, and other expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of a Portfolio’s business. Any waivers and/or reimbursements made by SAAMCo with respect to the SA Wellington Strategic Multi-Asset Portfolio other than investment advisory fees waived, are subject to recoupment from a Portfolio within two years after the occurrence of the waivers and/or reimbursements, provided that a Portfolio is able to effect such payment to SAAMCo and remains in compliance with the contractual expense limitations in effect at the time the waivers and/or reimbursements were made. The contractual fee waivers and/or expense limitations may be modified or discontinued prior to April 30, 2021, only with the approval of the Board. For the year ended December 31, 2020, pursuant to the contractual expense limitations mentioned above, SAAMCo waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses as follows:

Note 8. Line of Credit
The Trust, along with certain other funds managed by the Adviser, has access to a $75 million committed unsecured line of credit and a $50 million uncommitted unsecured line of credit. The committed and uncommitted lines of credit are renewable on an annual basis with State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street”), the Trust’s custodian. 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 Trust has paid State Street for its own account, the Portfolio’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
| ||

Table of Contents
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 has paid State Street for its own account, the Portfolio’s ratable portion of an upfront fee in an amount equal to $40,000 in the aggregate for the uncommitted line of credit made available by State Street to certain other funds managed by the Adviser, which are also party to the uncommitted line of credit. There is also a commitment fee of 30 basis points per annum on the daily unused portion of the committed line of credit. Borrowings under the line of credit will commence when the respective Portfolio’s cash shortfall exceeds $100,000. For the year ended December 31, 2020, the following portfolios had borrowings:
Portfolio | Days Outstanding | Interest Charges | Average Debt Utilized | Weighted Average Interest | ||||||||||||
SA Wellington Capital Appreciation | 10 | $ | 5,158 | $ | 12,347,500 | 2.02 | % |
At December 31, 2020, there were no borrowings outstanding.
Note 9. Interfund Lending Agreement
Pursuant to the exemptive relief granted by the SEC, the Portfolios are permitted to participate in an interfund lending program among investment companies advised by SAAMCo or an affiliate. The interfund lending program allows the participating Portfolios to borrow money from and lend money to each other for temporary or emergency purposes. An interfund loan will be made under this facility only if the participating Portfolios receive a more favorable interest rate than would otherwise be available from a typical bank for a comparable transaction. For the year ended December 31, 2020, none of the Portfolios participated in this program.
Note 10. Investment Concentration
The SA Wellington Strategic Multi-Asset Portfolio invests internationally, including in “emerging market” countries. Emerging market securities involve risks not typically associated with investing in securities of issuers in more developed markets. The markets of emerging market countries are typically more volatile and potentially less liquid than more developed countries. These securities may be denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars. While investing internationally may reduce portfolio risk by increasing the diversification of portfolio investments, the value of the investment may be affected by fluctuating currency values, changing local and regional economic, political and social conditions, and greater market volatility.
Each Portfolio may invest in obligations issued by agencies and instrumentalities of the U.S. Government that may vary in the level of support they receive from the government. The government may choose not to provide financial support to government sponsored agencies or instrumentalities if it is not legally obligated to do so, and if the issuer defaults, a fund holding securities of such issuer might not be able to recover its investment from the U.S. Government. As a result of the SA Wellington Government and Quality Bond Portfolio and SA PGI Asset Allocation Portfolio concentration in such investments, these portfolios may be subject to risks associated with U.S. Government agencies or instrumentalities.
Note 11. Security Transactions with Affiliated Portfolios
The Portfolios are permitted to transfer securities by purchasing from and/or selling to other affiliated funds under certain conditions approved by the Board. The affiliated funds involved in such transactions must have a common investment adviser or investment advisers which are affiliated persons of each other, common Trustees, and/or common officers in compliance with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Pursuant to the Act, such a transaction must be either a purchase or a sale, for no consideration other than cash payment against prompt delivery of the security at the current market price. No brokerage commission or fee (except for the customary transfer fees), or other remuneration is paid in connection with such transaction. For the year ended December 31, 2020, the following Portfolios engaged in security transactions with affiliated Portfolios:
Portfolio | Cost of Purchases | Proceeds from Sales | Realized Gain/(Loss) | |||||||||
SA Wellington Capital Appreciation | $ | 599,269 | $ | 590,725 | $ | (10,608 | ) | |||||
SA Wellington Strategic Multi-Asset | — | 41,533 | 8,517 |
Note 12. Other Matters
The coronavirus pandemic and the related governmental and public responses have had and may continue to have an impact on the Portfolio’s investments and net asset value and have led and may continue to lead to increased market volatility and the potential for illiquidity in certain classes of securities and sectors of the market. Preventative or protective actions that governments may take in respect of pandemic or epidemic diseases may result in periods of business disruption, business closures, inability to obtain raw materials, supplies and component parts, and reduced or disrupted operations for the issuers in which the Portfolio invests. Government intervention in markets may impact interest rates, market volatility and security pricing. The occurrence, reoccurrence and pendency of such diseases could adversely affect the economies (including through changes in business activity and increased unemployment) and financial markets either in specific countries or worldwide.

Basis for Opinions
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Portfolios’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Portfolios’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Portfolios in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2020 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent, brokers and selling or agent banks; when replies were not received, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

COMPARISONS: PORTFOLIOS VS. INDEXES (unaudited)
As required by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the following graphs compare the performance of a $10,000 investment in each Portfolio to a $10,000 investment in a comparable securities index over the ten year period ended December 31, 2020. Importantly, such indices represent “paper” Portfolios and do not reflect the costs and expenses of actual investing. Following each graph is a discussion of portfolio performance and factors affecting performance over the year ended December 31, 2020.
The following graphs and tables show the performance of the Portfolios of the Anchor Series Trust and include all trust expenses, but no insurance company expenses associated with the variable annuity contract or variable life insurance policy, and no insurance company contingent deferred sales charge. No expenses are deducted from the performance of the indices. All dividends are assumed to be reinvested.
Market indices referenced are unmanaged. You cannot invest directly in an index. Investments in stocks and bonds are subject to risk, including stock market and interest-rate fluctuations. Investments in non-U.S. stocks are subject to additional risks, including political and social instability, differing securities regulations and accounting standards, and limited public information. Mortgage-backed securities are subject to prepayment, which can result in reinvestment of principal at lower yields. Money market instruments generally offer stability and income, but an investment in these securities, like investments in other Portfolios, is not guaranteed by the U.S. government or any other entity.
Past performance is no guarantee of future results.
Securities listed may or may not be a part of current Portfolio construction.

1 | The Blended Index consists of 40% Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index and 60% S&P 500® Index. The Portfolio believes that the Blended Index may be more representative of the market sectors or types of securities in which the Portfolio invests than any of the individual benchmark indices, in that it includes both equity and fixed income components. The weightings of the components of the Blended Index are intended to approximate the allocation of the Portfolio’s assets, but at any given time, may not be indicative of the actual allocation of the Portfolio’s assets among market sectors or types of investments. |
2 | The Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index combines several Bloomberg Barclays fixed-income indices to give a broad view of the U.S. investment grade fixed rate bond market, with index components for government and corporate bonds, mortgage pass-through securities, and asset-backed securities. |
3 | The S&P 500® Index tracks the performance of 500 stocks representing a sampling of the largest domestic stocks traded publicly in the United States. Because it is market-weighted, the index will reflect changes in larger companies more heavily than those in smaller companies. |
Note: The performance data quoted represents past performance; past performance does not guarantee future results; the investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost; current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted.

The SA PGI Asset Allocation Portfolio — Class 1 shares returned 9.90% for the 12-month period ending December 31, 2020 compared to a 18.40% return for the S&P 500® Index and 7.51% return for the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. The blended benchmark of 60% S&P 500® Index / 40% Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index returned 14.73% for the annual period.
Equities outperformed fixed income during the period, as measured by the S&P 500® Index and the Bloomberg Barclays Aggregate Bond Index. U.S. equities outperformed non-U.S. developed and emerging markets for the year. Fixed income markets saw a fed funds rate decrease of 150 basis points during the year. Treasuries posted a positive return.
The Portfolio’s strategic and tactical underweight to large cap value equities contributed but were offset by the Portfolio’s strategic underweight to large cap growth equities. The Portfolio’s strategic overweight to mid and small cap growth equities contributed but was partially offset by the overweight to their value counterparts. The Portfolio’s strategic allocation to non-U.S. developed market equities negatively contributed as they underperformed their U.S. counterparts. Emerging market equities detracted due to the effects of the value equities overwhelming the growth effects. The Portfolio’s tactical overweight to investment grade corporates contributed to performance but was offset by the Portfolio’s strategic underweight to government bonds and tactical underweight to mortgage-backed securities.

SA PGI Asset Allocation Portfolio — Class 1 (unaudited)
Due to the Portfolio’s large number of individual holdings (over 500) and small position sizes (none over 4%), individual security impacts are minimal. The Portfolio’s security selection among U.S. large, mid, and small cap equities detracted but was partially offset by holdings in real estate investment trusts. The Portfolio’s security selection among non-U.S. developed market securities detracted but was partially offset by emerging market equities. The Portfolio’s security selection in mortgage-backed securities aided performance but was offset by security selection in high yield bonds, commercial mortgage-backed securities, and investment grade corporates.

The SA Wellington Capital Appreciation Portfolio — Class 1 shares posted a return of 64.53% for the 12-month period ending December 31, 2020, compared to a 38.26% return for the Russell 3000 Growth Index.
Sector returns within the Index were positive in 10 of the 11 sectors during the year. Consumer discretionary [+61.35%] and information technology [+53.11%] were the strongest performing sectors. Energy [-19.73%] and real estate [+3.42%] were bottom-performing sectors during the period.
Relative outperformance was driven by both security selection and sector allocation, a residual of the Portfolio’s bottom-up stock selection process. Sector allocation was driven by the Portfolio’s overweight to consumer discretionary and lack of exposure to real estate. The Portfolio’s underweight to information technology and overweight to health care detracted from benchmark-relative results.
Stock selection was strongest within information technology. Within information technology, the Portfolio’s overweight positions in Square and NVIDIA were among the top relative contributors during the period. Within consumer discretionary, the Portfolio’s overweight position in Peloton Interactive also contributed to relative performance.
Stock selection was weakest within consumer discretionary during the period. Within consumer discretionary, the Portfolio’s underweight position in Tesla and out-of-benchmark constituents Marriott Vacations and Aramark detracted from relative results. Within health care, the Portfolio’s out-of-benchmark constituent Galapagos also detracted from relative results.

The SA Wellington Government and Quality Bond Portfolio — Class 1 shares posted a return of 7.11% for the 12-month period ending December 31, 2020, compared to a 7.10% return for the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate A or Better Index.
On an absolute return basis, Treasuries [+8.00%] had mixed results relative to non-Treasury sectors: U.S. mortgage-backed securities (MBS) [+3.87%], commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) [+8.11%], asset-backed securities (ABS) [+4.52%], and taxable municipals [12.11%].
Security selection within investment grade (IG) credit contributed the most, particularly within financials, industrials, utilities and local agency. An overweight to IG credit contributed to performance due to a positive impact from an overweight to taxable municipals, financials, and utilities. Security selection to agency MBS pass throughs contributed but was partially offset by an underweight to the sector. In the securitized sectors, an out-of-benchmark allocation to collateralized loan obligations (CLOs) contributed while an underweight to and security selection within CMBS detracted. The Portfolio’s duration positioning detracted from relative returns.
The Portfolio ended the year with the following approximate sector allocations: 36% U.S. government, 31% MBS, 25% credit, 4% ABS, 2% CMBS, 1% covered bonds, and 1% cash and cash equivalents. From a quality standpoint, over 74% of the Portfolio’s assets at year-end were invested in securities rated AAA. The Portfolio ended the period with a modestly shorter effective duration than the benchmark.

With 2,484 constituents, the index covers approximately 85% of the global investable equity opportunity set. The net index approximates the minimum possible dividend reinvestment and assumes that the dividend is reinvested after the deduction of withholding tax, applying the rate to nonresident individuals who do not benefit from double taxation treaties. |
2 | The FTSE World Government Bond Index (U.S. $ Hedged) measures the performance of fixed-rate investment grade sovereign bonds, currency hedged to the USD. The Index is a widely used benchmark that currently comprises sovereign debt from over 20 countries. The Index provides a broad benchmark for the global sovereign fixed income market. |

The SA Wellington Strategic Multi-Asset Portfolio — Class 1 shares posted a return of 18.12% for the 12-month period ending December 31, 2020, compared to a 16.26% return for the MSCI ACWI (net) Index, a 6.11% return for the FTSE World Government Bond Index (U.S. $ Hedged), and a 13.47% return for the blended benchmark. The blended benchmark is comprised of 65% MSCI ACWI (net) Index and 35% FTSE World Government Bond Index (U.S. $ Hedged).
The global equity portion of the Portfolio outperformed the MSCI ACWI (net) Index for the year. Sector allocation, a result of the bottom-up fundamental process, was the primary driver of relative outperformance, led by the Portfolio’s underweight positions in energy and financials, and overweight position in information technology. This was partially offset by overweight positions in health care and industrials. Stock selection was also strong over the period and contributed to relative outperformance, particularly in communication services and health care. This was partially offset by weaker selection in financials and real estate. From a regional perspective, stock selection within emerging markets and North America contributed most while holdings in Japan modestly detracted. From a country perspective, stock selection in the United States and China contributed most while holdings in France and Canada detracted.
