Dear Shareholder:
You are a shareholder in one or more of the above listed funds of American
General Series Portfolio Company 2 (AGSPC2 Funds). A special Shareholder
Meeting will be held on June 22, 2000, to consider the proposed Mergers of the
AGSPC2 Funds into corresponding series of North American Funds, as well as any
other business that may properly come before the meeting. The Mergers are part
of the restructuring of AGSPC2 Funds and North American Funds arising from an
acquisition by American General Corporation on March 10, 2000. Because of the
opportunity available to you to pursue your investment objectives in a larger,
more integrated fund complex with the potential for economies of scale and
greater diversification of risk, your Board of Trustees unanimously agreed that
the Mergers are in the best interests of the AGSPC2 Funds' shareholders and
voted to approve them.
If the Mergers are approved by the shareholders of each of the AGSPC2 Funds,
all of the assets of each AGSPC2 Fund will be transferred to the corresponding
series of North American Funds in exchange for shares of that series of North
American Funds as described in the enclosed Prospectus/Proxy Statement. You
will receive shares of the corresponding series of North American Funds equal
in value to the shares that you now hold in each of the AGSPC2 Funds.
Please review the proposals carefully and cast your vote. For more
information about the Mergers, please refer to the enclosed Prospectus/Proxy
Statement. For more information about North American Funds, please refer to the
enclosed Prospectus(es). If you are a Class A or Class B shareholder, you will
have received two Prospectuses, each for the Class A and Class B shares of
North American Funds. The Prospectus dated March 27, 2000 describes the
existing funds of North American Funds, and the Prospectus dated May 12, 2000
describes the ten newly created funds of North American Funds. If you are an
Institutional Class I or Institutional Class II shareholder, you will have
received a Prospectus of North American Funds for its Institutional Class I and
Institutional Class II shares.
Your vote is important.
Your timely vote is important, no matter how many shares you own. If you are
unable to attend the meeting, please complete, sign, date and mail the enclosed
proxy card promptly. An immediate response from
you will eliminate the expense of additional mailings or having our proxy
solicitor, Shareholder Communications Corporation, telephone you. You may also
record your vote by telephone by calling 1-877-816-0869 or by faxing your
completed and signed proxy card (both front and back sides) to 1-212-440-9009.
If you have any questions regarding the meeting or the proxy card, you may call
Customer Service at the American General Fund Group at 1-877-999-2434.
Thank you in advance for your participation in this important event.
Sincerely,

*Newly created series of North American Funds.
This Prospectus/Proxy Statement relates to the proposed mergers (the
"Mergers") of the AGSPC2 Funds shown in Column 1 above, each an "Acquired
Fund," and each a series of AGSPC2, into, respectively, the North American
Funds shown in Column 2 above, each an "Acquiring Fund," and each a series of
North American Funds. The Acquired Funds and the Acquiring Funds are referred
to in this Prospectus/Proxy Statement as the "Funds." The Mergers are to be
effected through the transfer of all of the assets of each Acquired Fund to the
corresponding Acquiring Fund in exchange for shares of beneficial interest of
the Acquiring Fund (the "Merger Shares") and the assumption by the Acquiring
Fund of all of the liabilities of the Acquired Fund. This will be followed by
the distribution of the Merger Shares to the shareholders of the Acquired Fund
in liquidation of the Acquired Fund. As a result of each proposed transaction,
each shareholder of the Acquired Fund will receive in exchange for his or her
Acquired Fund shares a number of Acquiring Fund shares of the same class equal
in value at the date of the exchange to the aggregate value of the
shareholder's Acquired Fund shares. This means that you may receive a different
number of shares of the Acquiring Fund than the number of shares of the
Acquired Fund that you held, but the total dollar value of your shares will
remain the same.
Because shareholders of the Acquired Funds are being asked to approve
transactions that will result in their receiving shares of the Acquiring Funds,
this Proxy Statement also serves as a Prospectus for the Merger Shares of each
Acquiring Fund.
This Prospectus/Proxy Statement explains concisely what you should know
before investing in each Acquiring Fund. Please read it carefully and keep it
for future reference.

OVERVIEW OF MERGERS
The following is a summary of certain background information relating to the
proposed Mergers and is qualified by reference to the more complete information
contained elsewhere in this Prospectus/Proxy Statement and the Merger SAI, the
AGSPC2 Prospectus, the North American Prospectus, the AGSPC2 SAI, the North
American SAI, and the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, attached to this
Prospectus/Proxy Statement as Appendix A, all of which have been incorporated
by reference into this Prospectus/Proxy Statement. Shareholders should read
this entire Prospectus/Proxy Statement carefully.
Introduction
The Trustees of AGSPC2, on behalf of each Acquired Fund, and the Trustees of
North American Funds, on behalf of each Acquiring Fund, have approved
transactions involving, for each Acquired Fund and the corresponding Acquiring
Fund, the Merger of the Acquired Fund into the Acquiring Fund. Each Merger is
proposed to be accomplished pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization
providing for the transfer of all of the assets of the Acquired Fund to the
Acquiring Fund in exchange for shares of the Acquiring Fund and for the
assumption by the Acquiring Fund of all the liabilities of the Acquired Fund,
followed by the liquidation of the Acquired Fund.
Background and Reasons for Mergers
The proposed Mergers are a part of a reorganization resulting from the
acquisition by American General Corporation ("AGC") of substantially all of the
outstanding shares of CypressTree Asset Management Corporation, Inc., now named
American General Asset Management Corp. ("AGAM"), the investment adviser to the
Acquiring Funds.
As described more fully below, the Trustees of AGSPC2 approved the Mergers
based on a thorough examination of North American Funds and, among other
things, a careful review of the investment capabilities, philosophy and
performance of AGAM and the subadvisers. The Trustees of AGSPC2 unanimously
recommend that shareholders of each Acquired Fund approve the Merger for such
Fund. In reaching that conclusion, the Trustees considered that the Mergers
generally offer shareholders the opportunity to pursue a similar investment
objective in a larger Fund, which should offer economies of scale and
opportunities for greater diversification of risk; that AGAM has estimated that
the Mergers should result in Fund operating expenses that are sustainable at
lower rates than the AGSPC2 Funds; and that AGC will be bearing the expense of
the Mergers. In the case of the Mergers of certain Acquired Funds into the
newly created North American Stock Index Fund and the North American Mid Cap
Value Fund, the Trustees considered that the Funds would retain similar
flexibility with respect to corporate governance and that all of the Funds
would be governed under a single set of organizational documents following the
Mergers. See "Proposals--Background and Reasons for the Proposed Mergers."
Investment Advisory Information
AGAM serves as the investment adviser to each Acquiring Fund, other than the
North American Mid Cap Value Fund and the North American Stock Index Fund,
under an interim investment advisory agreement adopted pursuant to Rule 15a-4
under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act") that
expires on August 7, 2000. Subject to approval by the shareholders of each
applicable Acquiring Fund,* it is expected that AGAM will continue to serve as
investment adviser to each Acquiring Fund. The North American Mid Cap Value
Fund and the North American Stock Index Fund are newly created funds with AGAM
as their investment adviser.
AGAM has hired the following subadvisers to manage several of the Acquiring
Funds:
Founders Asset Management, LLC
. North American Large Cap Growth Fund
INVESCO Funds Group, Inc.
. North American Balanced Fund
. North American Mid Cap Growth Fund
- --------
* Shareholder approval of the investment advisory agreements with AGAM is the
subject of a separate proxy statement dated April 12, 2000, which was mailed
to North American Funds shareholders on or about April 12, 2000. For a copy
of this proxy statement, call 1-800-872-8037.

Approval by shareholders of a Merger will effectively change the adviser and
subadvisers of the Acquired Fund. However, the Acquiring Funds have investment
objectives and policies that are generally similar to the corresponding
Acquired Funds, and these objectives, policies and certain differences are
explained further below under "Comparison of Investment Objectives, Policies,
Restrictions and Risks."
Overview of the Acquired Funds and the Acquiring Funds
Each of the Acquired Funds and the Acquiring Funds offers Class A and Class
B shares. Each of the Acquired Funds currently offers Institutional Class I and
Institutional Class II shares except the American General Stock Index Fund and
the American General Municipal Bond Fund. Institutional Class I shares are
currently offered by all of the Acquiring Funds except the North American
Municipal Bond Fund. Institutional Class II shares of the Acquiring Funds are
offered by the North American Core Bond Fund only. The Class A, Class B,
Institutional Class I and Institutional Class II Merger Shares have similar
characteristics to the corresponding classes of the Acquired Funds.
4
Class A Shares
. Both the Acquiring Funds' and the Acquired Funds' Class A shares are
generally sold subject to a front-end sales load of up to 5.75%.
. Class A shares of the Acquiring Funds and the Acquired Funds are
generally not subject to a contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC"),
except for purchases without a sales load of $1 million or more if
redeemed within:
Acquiring Acquired
Fund Fund
--------- --------
1 year....................................................... 1% 1%
2 years...................................................... 0% 0.5%
. Class A shares of the Funds are subject to distribution and servicing
fees of up to the following annual rates:
Acquiring Fund............ 0.35%
Acquired Fund............. 0.25%
Class B Shares
. Class B shares of both the Acquiring Funds and the Acquired Funds are
sold at net asset value, without an initial sales charge, but subject to
a CDSC of up to 5.00% at declining rates if redeemed within six years of
purchase as follows:
6 or
Year 1 2 3 4 5 6 more
---- --- --- --- --- --- --- ----
Acquired Funds.. 5% 4% 3% 2% 1% 0% 0%
Acquiring
Funds......... 5% 5% 4% 3% 2% 1% 0%
. Class B shares of both the Acquiring Funds and Acquired Funds are
subject to distribution and servicing fees at an aggregate annual rate
of 1.00% of assets attributable to Class B shares.
. Class B shares generally convert automatically to Class A shares as
follows:
Acquiring Acquired
Fund Fund
--------- --------
Years after
purchase....... 8 6
Institutional Class I and Institutional Class II Shares
. Institutional Class I and Institutional Class II shares of the Acquiring
Funds and the Acquired Funds are sold without a front-end sales load or
a CDSC.
. Institutional Class I and Institutional Class II shares of the Funds are
not subject to servicing and distribution fees.
. Institutional Class I shares are subject to a 0.25% administrative
services fee.
As a result of each proposed Merger, each Acquired Fund will receive a
number of Class A, Class B, Institutional Class I and Institutional Class II
Merger Shares of the relevant Acquiring Fund equal in value to the value of the
net assets of the Acquired Fund being transferred and attributable to the Class
A, Class B, Institutional Class I and Institutional Class II shares of the
Acquired Fund. Following the transfer, (i) the Acquired Fund will distribute to
each of its Class A, Class B, Institutional Class I and Institutional Class II
shareholders a number of full and fractional Class A, Class B, Institutional
Class I and Institutional Class II Merger Shares of the relevant Acquiring Fund
equal in value to the aggregate value of the shareholder's Class A, Class B,
Institutional Class I and Institutional Class II Acquired Fund shares, as the
case may be, and (ii) the Acquired Fund will be liquidated.
You will not be charged a front-end sales load on the issuance of the Merger
Shares or a CDSC on the exchange of Acquired Fund shares for Merger Shares. If
you receive Class B Merger Shares, they will convert to Class A shares of the
relevant Acquiring Fund six years after the date you originally purchased the
Acquired Fund shares (so that the conversion of such shares will effectively be
unchanged by the Mergers). You will be charged a CDSC on redemption of the
Merger Shares to the same extent as you would have been charged on redemption
of the Acquired Fund shares. In other words, the Merger Shares will be treated
as having been purchased on the date on which you originally purchased the
Acquired Fund shares and at the price (adjusted to reflect the Merger) you
originally paid for the Acquired Fund shares. See the North American Prospectus
for more information about the characteristics of Class A, Class B,
Institutional Class I and Institutional Class II shares of the Acquiring Funds.
5
Operating Expenses
As the following tables suggest, because the Acquired Funds are currently
subject to fee waivers and expense reimbursements that VALIC believes are
unlikely to be sustainable, the Mergers are generally expected to result in
sustainable expense levels that, while higher than the net expenses of the
Acquired Funds, are lower than the expenses that would have been borne absent
such fee waivers and expense reimbursements. See "Proposals--Background and
Reasons for the Proposed Mergers." Of course, there can be no assurance that
the Mergers will result in expense savings for shareholders. These tables
summarize, for Class A, Class B, Institutional Class I and Institutional Class
II shares, as applicable, expenses
. that each Acquired Fund incurred in its fiscal year ended October 31,
1999;
. that each Acquiring Fund incurred in its fiscal year ended October 31,
1999;* and
. that each Acquiring Fund would have incurred in its most recent fiscal
year after giving effect on a pro forma combined basis to the proposed
Merger, as if the Merger had occurred as of the beginning of such fiscal
year (based on asset levels as of December 31, 1999).*
The tables are provided to help you understand an investor's share of the
operating expenses which each Fund incurs. The examples show the estimated
cumulative expenses attributable to a hypothetical $10,000 investment in each
Acquired Fund, each Acquiring Fund and each Acquiring Fund on a pro forma
basis, over the periods indicated. By translating "Total Annual Fund Operating
Expenses" into dollar amounts, these examples may help you compare the costs
of investing in each Fund with the costs of investing in other mutual funds.

Index Fund, which have no operating history, expenses shown are estimates

Federal Income Tax Consequences
For federal income tax purposes, the Mergers of the Acquired Funds into the
Acquiring Funds will be tax-free reorganizations. Accordingly, no gain or loss
will be recognized by these Acquired Funds or by their shareholders as a result
of the Mergers, and the aggregate tax basis of the Merger Shares received by
each Acquired Fund shareholder will be the same as the aggregate tax basis of
the shareholder's Acquired Fund shares.
A substantial portion of the portfolio assets of each of the American
General International Growth Fund, the American General International Value
Fund, the American General Large Cap Value Fund and the American General
Domestic Bond Fund may be sold in connection with the Mergers of those Funds
into the respective Acquiring Funds. The actual tax impact of such sales will
depend on the difference between the price at which such portfolio assets are
sold and the selling Fund's tax basis in such assets. Any capital gains
recognized in these sales will be distributed to the selling Fund's
shareholders as capital gain dividends (to the extent of the excess of net
realized long-term capital gains over net realized short-term capital losses)
and/or ordinary dividends (to the extent of net realized short-term capital
gains) during or with respect to the year of sale, and such distributions will
be taxable to shareholders.
For more information about the federal income tax consequences of the
Mergers, see "Information About the Mergers--Federal Income Tax Consequences."
Comparison of Investment Objectives, Policies, Restrictions and Risks
As a general matter, the Acquiring Funds have investment objectives and
policies that are similar to those of the corresponding Acquired Funds. The
investment objectives, policies, restrictions and risks of the Acquired Funds
and the Acquiring Funds, and certain differences between them, are summarized
below. The investment objectives of the Acquiring Funds other than the North
American Mid Cap Value Fund and the North American Stock Index Fund cannot be
changed without shareholder approval. The investment objectives of the Acquired
Funds, however, may be changed by a vote of the Trustees. For a more detailed
description of the investment techniques used by the Acquired Funds and the
Acquiring Funds, please see the AGSPC2 Prospectus and the North American
Prospectus. For information concerning the risks associated with investments in
the various Funds, see "Risk Factors" below.
American General Large Cap Growth Fund vs. North American Large Cap Growth
Fund
The North American Large Cap Growth Fund and the American General Large Cap
Growth Fund have similar investment objectives. While the North American Large
Cap Growth Fund seeks long-term capital growth, the American General Large Cap
Growth Fund seeks long-term growth of capital through a broadly diversified
portfolio of equity securities of large-cap U.S. issuers that are expected to
have better prospects for earnings growth than the growth rate of the general
domestic economy. Dividend income is a secondary objective.
The total average annual return for the American General Large Cap Growth
Fund and the North American Large Cap Growth Fund is set forth in the chart
below.

* Performance is for Class A shares of both Funds. The returns for other
classes of the Funds will differ from Class A returns due to the expenses of
each class. Fund performance data is shown after all expenses and sales
charges. The Funds' past performance is not an indication of how the Funds
will perform in the future. For further information about the North American
Large Cap Growth Fund's performance, including information about
waivers/reimbursements that affected the Fund's performance, see Appendix B
to this Prospectus/Proxy Statement and the North American Prospectus. For
further information about waivers/reimbursements that affected the American
General Large Cap Growth Fund's performance, see the AGSPC2 Prospectus.
** Inception date of Class A shares.
The North American Large Cap Growth Fund typically invests at least 65% of
its total assets in the common stocks of well-established, high-quality growth
companies whose earnings are expected to increase faster than the market
average. The American General Large Cap Growth Fund invests at least 65% of its
total assets in the equity securities of U.S. large cap companies using the
Goldman Sachs & Co. Quantitative Equity Strategy to select its investments and
balance expected returns against
32
portfolio risk. The American General Large Cap Growth Fund aims to achieve
minimum deviation from the sector allocation, risk statistics and macroeconomic
sensitivity of the Russell 1000(R) Growth Index. The Fund's assets are traded
regularly and rebalanced to align its positions with current market outlooks.
Each of the Funds may invest in other types of equity securities, however,
the American General Large Cap Growth Fund may invest no more than 25% of its
total assets in equity securities other than those of large-cap U.S. issuers.
The American General Large Cap Growth Fund may invest in foreign securities,
but only if those securities are traded in the United States. In contrast, the
North American Large Cap Growth Fund may invest up to 100% of its total assets
in American Depository Receipts (ADRs), and up to 30% in foreign securities
other than ADRs. However, no more than 25% of the North American Large Cap
Growth Fund's assets may be invested in any one foreign country.
Both the North American Large Cap Growth Fund and the American General Large
Cap Growth Fund may invest in investment grade bonds rated Baa or higher by
Moody's Investors Service, Inc. ("Moody's") or BBB or higher by Standard &
Poors Ratings Group ("S&P"). Unlike the American General Large Cap Growth Fund,
the North American Large Cap Growth Fund may invest in lower-rated bonds,
provided not more than 5% of its total assets are invested in unrated or below-
investment grade fixed income securities, with the exception of preferred
stocks. Both of the Funds may invest in derivatives.
Because the Funds follow similar investment policies, they are generally
subject to the same risks, including the following principal risks:
. Credit Risk (the risk that the companies in which the Fund invests, or
with which it does business, will fail financially or otherwise fail to
honor their obligations)
. Currency Risk (the risk that the Fund's investments in securities
denominated in foreign currencies will decline as a result of changes in
exchange rates)
. Derivatives Risk (the risk that the value of the Fund's derivative
investments will decline as a result of imperfect correlation or
improper valuation)
. Equity Risk (the risk that the value of the Fund's equity investments
will decline as a result of factors affecting the particular issuers of
financial markets generally, including, in particular, the risks
associated with growth stocks)
. Foreign Investment Risk (the risk that the value of the Fund's foreign
investments will decline as a result of foreign political, social or
economic changes)
. Interest Rate Risk (the risk that the value of the Fund's debt
securities will decline as a result of a change in interest rates)
. Management Risk (the risk that the subadviser of a Fund may not produce
the desired investment results)
Certain of these risks may be greater for the North American Large Cap Growth
Fund. In particular, because the North American Large Cap Growth Fund may
invest in foreign securities and below investment grade bonds to a greater
extent, it may be subject to greater Foreign Investment Risk, Currency Risk and
Credit Risk.
American General Mid Cap Growth Fund vs. North American Mid Cap Growth Fund
The American General Mid Cap Growth Fund and the North American Mid Cap
Growth Fund have similar investment objectives. The American General Mid Cap
Growth Fund seeks capital appreciation principally through investments in
medium capitalization equity securities, such as common and preferred stocks
and securities convertible into common stocks. Current income is a secondary
objective for the American General Mid Cap Growth Fund. The North American Mid
Cap Growth Fund seeks long term capital appreciation.
The total average annual return for the American General Mid Cap Growth Fund
and the North American Mid Cap Growth Fund is set forth in the chart below.

The North American Mid Cap Growth Fund focuses on investment in the equity
securities of mid-cap issuers, with total market capitalizations of $2 billion
to $15 billion, while the American General Mid Cap Growth Fund invests
primarily in the equity securities of medium capitalization companies,
including those with market capitalizations of $1 billion to $10 billion. Each
Fund may also invest in the securities of larger issuers.
The American General Mid Cap Growth Fund seeks to achieve capital
appreciation through an opportunistic investment strategy with a growth bias.
The Fund will purchase equity securities of companies that the subadviser feels
are undervalued relative to their growth potential in the securities markets,
because the companies are presently out of favor, not well known, or possess
value that is not currently recognized by the investment community. The
subadviser analyzes and selects stocks on a company by company basis, rather
than using sector or macro analysis. The subadviser selects specific
investments by employing analysis that contains elements of traditional
dividend discount and earnings yield models, establishes predicted relative
valuation for equity and fixed income markets, and determines the
attractiveness of individual securities through evaluation of growth and risk
characteristics of the underlying company relative to the overall securities
market.
The North American Mid Cap Growth Fund invests the core of its portfolio in
securities of established companies that are leaders in attractive growth
markets with a history of strong returns. The remainder of the portfolio will
be invested in securities of companies that show accelerating growth, driven by
product cycles, favorable industry or sector conditions and other factors that
the subadviser believes will lead to rapid sales or earnings growth. The North
American Mid Cap Growth Fund's strategy relies on many short-term factors
including current information about a company, investor interest, price
movements of a company's securities and general market and monetary conditions.
Consequently, the Fund's investments will usually be bought and sold
frequently.
The North American Mid Cap Growth Fund may invest up to 20% of its total
assets in foreign securities, and may also purchase ADRs or U.S. dollar-
denominated securities of foreign issuers that are not included in the 20%
foreign securities limitation, while the American General Mid Cap Growth Fund
may only invest up to 10% of its total assets in foreign equity securities,
including ADRs. The North American Mid Cap Growth Fund may invest in
derivatives, while the American General Mid Cap Growth Fund may not. Unlike the
North American Mid Cap Growth Fund, which may invest up to 15% of its total
assets in certain fixed-income securities, the American General Mid Cap Growth
Fund may not invest in investment grade bonds.
Because the Funds follow similar investment policies, they are generally
subject to the same risks, including the following risks:
. Credit Risk (the risk that the companies in which the Fund invests, or
with which it does business, will fail financially or otherwise fail to
honor their obligations)
. Currency Risk (the risk that the Fund's investments in securities
denominated in foreign currencies will decline as a result of changes in
exchange rates)
. Derivatives Risk (the risk that the value of the Fund's derivative
investments will decline as a result of imperfect correlation or
improper valuation)
. Equity Risk (the risk that the value of the Fund's equity investments
will decline as a result of factors affecting the particular issuers or
financial markets generally, including, in particular, the risks
associated with growth stocks)
. Foreign Investment Risk (the risk that the value of the Fund's foreign
investments will decline as a result of foreign political, social or
economic changes)
. Interest Rate Risk (the risk that the value of the Fund's debt
securities will decline as a result of a change in interest rates)
34
. Liquidity Risk (the risk that the Fund may be unable to sell a security
because there are too few people who actively trade that security on a
regular basis)
. Management Risk (the risk that the subadviser of a Fund may not produce
the desired investment results)
Certain of these risks may be greater for the North American Mid Cap Growth
Fund. In particular, because the North American Mid Cap Growth Fund may invest
to a greater extent in foreign investments, bonds and derivatives, it may be
subject to greater Foreign Investment Risk, Currency Risk, Credit Risk,
Interest Rate Risk and Derivatives Risk.
American General Small Cap Growth Fund vs. North American Small Cap Growth
Fund
The American General Small Cap Growth Fund and the North American Small Cap
Growth Fund have similar investment objectives. The American General Small Cap
Growth Fund's investment objective is to provide long-term growth from a
portfolio of equity securities of small capitalization growth companies. The
North American Small Cap Growth Fund seeks maximum capital appreciation and
focuses on emerging growth companies, which are small or medium sized companies
beyond their start-up phase showing positive earnings or the potential for
accelerated earnings growth. The North American Small Cap Growth Fund is not
diversified, which means it may invest in a relatively small number of issuers
of securities, and its value may be affected very significantly by the change
in value of a single security.
The total average annual return for the American General Small Cap Growth
Fund and the North American Small Cap Growth Fund is set forth in the chart
below.

and the North American Prospectus. For further information about
waivers/reimbursements that affected the American General Small Cap Growth
Fund's performance, see the AGSPC2 Prospectus.
** Inception date of Class A shares.
Both the American General Small Cap Growth Fund and the North American Small
Cap Growth Fund invest primarily in the equity securities of growth companies.
Both Funds may invest in companies of various sizes, but the American General
Small Cap Growth Fund must invest at least 65% of its total assets in small-
capitalization companies. The North American Small Cap Growth Fund will usually
invest at least 65% of its assets in small- or medium-cap growth companies. As
a diversified fund, the American General Small Cap Growth Fund may not invest
more than 25% of its assets in the securities of any single industry, but on an
industry-by-industry basis, the Fund's weightings are similar to those of the
Russell 2000(R) Growth Index. The North American Small Cap Growth Fund may also
invest in "special situation" companies, such as companies undergoing an
acquisition, a restructuring, or a reorganization.
Both Funds may invest in common and preferred stocks, warrants and
convertible securities. The Funds may also invest in derivatives and investment
grade bonds. However, unlike the North American Small Cap Growth Fund, the
American General Small Cap Growth Fund may invest in below investment grade
bonds. Both Funds may invest in foreign securities, but the North American
Small Cap Growth Fund may only invest up to 20% of its assets in such
securities.
Because the Funds follow similar investment policies, they are generally
subject to the same risks, including the following principal risks:
. Concentration Risk (the risk that investing in a smaller number of
securities increases investment risks)
. Credit Risk (the risk that the companies in which the Fund invests, or
with which it
35
does business, will fail financially or otherwise fail to honor their
obligations)
. Currency Risk (the risk that the Fund's investments in securities
denominated in foreign currencies will decline as a result of changes in
exchange rates)
. Derivatives Risk (the risk that the value of the Fund's derivative
investments will decline as a result of imperfect correlation or
improper valuation)
. Equity Risk (the risk that the value of the Fund's equity investments
will decline as a result of factors affecting the particular issuers or
financial markets generally, including, in particular, the risks
associated with growth stocks and investing in smaller companies)
. Foreign Investment Risk (the risk that the value of the Fund's foreign
investments will decline as a result of foreign political, social or
economic changes)
. Interest Rate Risk (the risk that the value of the Fund's debt
securities will decline as a result of a change in interest rates)
. Liquidity Risk (the risk that the Fund may be unable to sell a security
because there are too few people who actively trade that security on a
regular basis)
. Management Risk (the risk that the subadviser of a Fund may not produce
the desired investment results)
Certain of these risks may be greater for the North American Small Cap Growth
Fund. Because the North American Small Cap Growth Fund is not diversified, it
may be subject to greater Concentration Risk.
American General Large Cap Value Fund vs. North American Growth & Income Fund
The following compares the investment strategies and performance of the
American General Large Cap Value Fund with those of the North American Growth &
Income Fund. The American General Large Cap Value Fund seeks to provide total
returns that exceed over time the Russell(R) 1000 Value Index through
investment in equity securities. The North American Growth & Income Fund seeks
to provide long-term growth of capital and income consistent with prudent
investment risk by investing mostly in a diversified portfolio of common stocks
that the subadviser believes to be of high quality.
The total average annual return for the American General Large Cap Value
Fund and the North American Growth & Income Fund is set forth in the chart

and the North American Prospectus. For more information about
waivers/reimbursements that affected the American General Large Cap Value
Fund's performance, see the AGSPC2 Prospectus.
** Inception date of Class A shares.
The American General Large Cap Value Fund invests at least 65% of the Fund's
assets in equity securities of the largest 1,200 companies by market
capitalization traded in the U.S. The portfolio of the Fund is well-
diversified, maintaining industry and sector exposures and macroeconomic and
risk characteristics that are similar to the Russell 1000(R) Value Index, which
measures the performance of the 1,000 largest companies in the Russell 3000(R)
Index focusing on those with lower price-to-book ratios and lower forecasted
growth values. Unlike the American General Large Cap Value Fund, the North
American Growth & Income Fund's investment objective is not related to an
index. The subadviser of the North American Growth & Income Fund seeks to
invest primarily in a diversified portfolio of common stocks of U.S. issuers
with a primary emphasis on dividend paying stocks of larger companies.
While the American General Large Cap Value Fund focuses primarily on equity
securities in the Russell 1000(R) Value Index, the North American Growth &
Income Fund may invest in securities that can be converted into, or include the
right to buy
36
common stocks, including convertible securities issued in the Euromarket and
preferred stocks. In addition, the North American Growth & Income Fund may
invest in marketable debt securities of domestic issuers and foreign issuers
(payable in U.S. dollars) rated at the time of purchase "A" or better by
Moody's or S&P, or unrated securities considered to be of equivalent quality
in the judgment of the subadviser. The North American Growth & Income Fund may
invest up to 20% of its total assets in such foreign securities. Although the
American General Large Cap Value Fund may invest in foreign securities, it
focuses more on U.S. issuers. Both Funds may invest in derivatives.
Selection of stocks for the North American Growth & Income Fund involves
the assessment of companies and their business environments, management,
balance sheets, income statements, anticipated earnings and dividends, and
other related measures of fundamental value relevant to specific industries
and/or companies. The Fund's subadviser also monitors and evaluates the
economic and political climate and the principal securities markets of the
countries in which target companies are located. The subadviser of the
American General Large Cap Value Fund selects stocks by combining financial
accounting data with earnings forecasts provided by many security analysts.
This quantitative method allows the subadviser to quickly evaluate large
amounts of data.
The Funds are generally subject to similar risks, including the following
principal risks:
. Derivatives Risk (the risk that the value of the Fund's derivative
investments will decline as a result of imperfect correlation or
improper valuation)
. Equity Risk (the risk that the value of the Fund's equity investments
will decline as a result of factors affecting the particular issuers or
financial markets generally, including, in particular, the risks
associated with value stocks)
. Foreign Investment Risk (the risk that the value of the Fund's foreign
investments will decline as a result of foreign political, social or
economic changes)
. Management Risk (the risk that the subadviser of a Fund may not produce
the desired investment results)
Because the North American Growth & Income Fund may invest to a greater extent
in foreign securities, it may be subject to greater Foreign Investment Risk
and Currency Risk.
American General Mid Cap Value Fund vs. North American Mid Cap Value Fund

American General Balanced Fund vs. North American Balanced Fund
The North American Balanced Fund and the American General Balanced Fund
have similar investment objectives. The American General Balanced Fund aims to

the North American Balanced Fund seeks current income and capital
appreciation. Both Funds aim to meet their investment objectives by investing
in a mixture of equity securities and fixed income securities.

** Inception date of Class A shares.
For the fixed income portion of its portfolio, the American General Balanced
Fund may invest up to 75% of its total assets in fixed income securities rated
A or better by Moody's or S&P or of comparable quality. At all times, the Fund
must have at least 25% of its total assets invested in fixed-income senior
securities, but up to 20% may be invested in below investment grade bonds. At
least 75% of the value of the Fund's fixed income investments will come from
among the following categories: U.S. Government securities, Canadian Government
securities, mortgage-related securities of governmental issuers, Government
National Mortgage Association ("GNMA") certificates of private issuers,
collateralized mortgage obligations, mortgage-backed bonds, and commercial
paper. In contrast, the North American Balanced Fund normally invests
approximately 25% of its total assets in investment grade debt securities,
however, the Fund may not invest more than 5% of its assets in fixed income
securities that are below investment grade.
For the equity portion of its portfolio, the American General Balanced Fund
may invest up to 75% of the Fund's total assets in equity securities listed on
national securities exchanges or in the over the counter market. The Fund may
also invest up to 10% of its total assets in U.S. small capitalization
companies. The North American Balanced Fund may also invest up to 75% of its
total assets in equity securities, but there is no requirement that the
securities be listed on an exchange or in the over the counter market. The
North American Balanced Fund invests in equity securities that include common
stocks, convertible corporate securities and preferred stocks and emphasizes
investments in dividend paying common stocks. As current income is a component
of total return, the subadviser considers companies' dividend payout records.
Unlike the American General Balanced Fund, there is no percentage limit on
investment in small capitalization companies.
Both Funds may invest in ADRs and securities of foreign issuers denominated
in foreign currencies, however, the North American Balanced Fund may invest up
to 30% of its net assets in foreign securities other than ADRs. In addition, no
more than 25% of the North American Balanced Fund's assets may be invested in
the securities of issuers of any single foreign country. Both Funds may invest
in derivatives.
Because the Funds follow similar investment policies, they are generally
subject to the same risks, including the following principal risks:
. Credit Risk (the risk that the companies in which the Fund invests, or
with which it does business, will fail financially or otherwise fail to
honor their obligations, including, in particular, the risks associated
with below investment grade fixed income securities)
. Currency Risk (the risk that the Fund's investments in securities
denominated in foreign currencies will decline as a result of changes in
exchange rates)
. Derivatives Risk (the risk that the value of the Fund's derivative
investments will decline as a result of imperfect correlation or
improper valuation)
. Equity Risk (the risk that the value of the Fund's equity investments
will decline as a result of factors affecting the particular issuers or
financial markets generally, including, in particular, the risks
associated with growth stocks, value stocks and investing in smaller
companies)

. Foreign Investment Risk (the risk that the value of the Fund's foreign
investments will decline as a result of foreign political, social or
economic changes)

American General International Growth Fund vs. North American International
Equity Fund
The following compares the investment objectives, strategies and
performances of the American General International Growth Fund and the North
American International Equity Fund. The American General International Growth
Fund seeks to provide long-term capital appreciation by investing in equity
securities of non-U.S. companies, the majority of which are expected to be in
developed markets. The Fund may invest across the capitalization spectrum,
although it intends to emphasize smaller capitalization stocks. The North
American International Equity Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation and
invests primarily in equity securities of non-U.S. issuers which, in the
aggregate, replicate broad market indices.

Growth Fund's performance, see the AGSPC2 Prospectus.
** Inception date of Class A shares.
The American General International Growth Fund uses a flexible, value-
oriented approach to selecting investments, focusing on companies rather than
on countries or markets. The American General International Growth Fund's goal
is to identify stocks selling at the greatest discount to their intrinsic
future value, as ascertained through an analysis of price/cash flow, enterprise
value/cash flow, and price/future earnings. The North American International
Equity Fund invests with a top-down approach that emphasizes country and sector
selection and weighting rather than individual stock selection. The North
American International Equity Fund intends to capitalize on the significance of
country and sector selecting in international equity portfolio returns by over-
and underweighting countries based on three factors: (i) valuation; (ii)
fundamental change; and (iii) market momentum/technicals.
The North American International Equity Fund intends to invest its assets in
the securities of non-U.S. issuers only, whereas the American General
International Growth Fund intends to invest a minimum of 65% of its total
assets in foreign equity securities of at least three countries outside the
U.S. Both Funds may invest in emerging market countries, but the American
General International Growth Fund may invest up to 40% of its assets in such
securities. Unlike the North American International Equity Fund, the American
General International Growth Fund emphasizes smaller capitalization stocks,
allowing up to 50% of the total assets to be invested in such stocks. While the
North American International Equity Fund may use derivatives for hedging and
non-hedging purposes, including futures, options, forward contracts, swaps and
structured notes, the American General International Growth Fund may not invest
in derivatives.
The Funds are generally subject to similar risks, including the following
principal risks:
. Currency Risk (the risk that the Fund's investments in securities
denominated in foreign currencies will decline as a result of changes in
exchange rates)
39
. Derivatives Risk (the risk that the value of the Fund's derivative
investments will decline as a result of imperfect correlation or
improper valuation)
. Equity Risk (the risk that the value of the Fund's equity investments
will decline as a result of factors affecting the particular issuers or
financial markets generally, including, in particular, the risks
associated with growth stocks and investing in smaller companies)
. Foreign Investment Risk (the risk that the value of the Fund's foreign
investments will decline as a result of foreign political, social or
economic changes, including, in particular, the risks associated with
investing in emerging market countries)
. Liquidity Risk (the risk that the Fund may be unable to sell a security
because there are too few people who actively trade that security on a
regular basis)
. Management Risk (the risk that the subadviser of a Fund may not produce
the desired investment results)
Certain of these risks may be greater for the North American International
Equity Fund. Because the Fund intends to invest in non-U.S. issuers only, it
may be subject to greater Foreign Investment Risk and Currency Risk. Also,
because the North American International Equity Fund may invest in derivatives
while the American General International Growth Fund may not, it may be subject
to greater Derivatives Risk.
American General International Value Fund vs. North American International
Equity Fund
The following compares the investment objectives, strategies and
performances of the American General International Value Fund and the North
American International Equity Fund. The American General International Value
Fund seeks to provide growth of capital and future income through investments
primarily in securities of non-U.S. issuers and securities whose principal
markets are outside the United States. The North American International Equity
Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation, investing primarily in equity

** Inception date of Class A shares.
The American General International Value Fund invests in a portfolio
consisting primarily of equity and fixed income securities of non-U.S. issuers.
While the Fund may invest with geographical flexibility, the emphasis is on
securities of companies located in Europe, Canada, Australia and the Far East,
giving due consideration to economic, social and political developments,
currency risks and the liquidity of various national markets. The North
American International Equity Fund invests with a top-down approach that
emphasizes country and sector selection and weighting rather than individual
stock selection. The North American International Equity Fund's managers intend
to capitalize on the significance of country and sector selecting in
international equity portfolio returns by over- and underweighting countries
based on three factors: (i) valuation; (ii) fundamental change; and (iii)
market momentum/technicals.
The North American International Equity Fund intends to invest its assets in
the equity securities of non-U.S. issuers only, whereas the American General
International Value Fund intends to invest a minimum of 65% of its total assets
in such securities. Both of the Funds may invest in emerging market
40
countries. The American General International Value Fund may invest up to 10%
of its assets in securities of foreign small capitalization companies.
Both of the Funds may use derivatives. The American General International
Value Fund may invest up to 90% of its total assets in futures and options on
foreign currency contracts. The North American International Equity Fund may
use derivatives for non-hedging purposes up to 33 1/3% of total assets.
The Funds are generally subject to similar risks, including the following
principal risks:
. Currency Risk (the risk that the Fund's investments in securities
denominated in foreign currencies will decline as a result of changes in
exchange rates)
. Derivatives Risk (the risk that the value of the Fund's derivative
investments will decline as a result of imperfect correlation or
improper valuation)
. Equity Risk (the risk that the value of the Fund's equity investments
will decline as a result of factors affecting the particular issuers or
financial markets generally, including, in particular, the risks
associated with value stocks)
. Foreign Investment Risk (the risk that the value of the Fund's foreign

because there are too few people who actively trade that security on a

. Management Risk (the risk that the subadviser of a Fund may not produce

Certain of these risks may be greater for the North American International
Equity Fund. Because the Fund intends to invest in non-U.S. issuers only, it
may be subject to greater Foreign Investment Risk and Currency Risk.

American General Domestic Bond Fund vs. North American Core Bond Fund
The American General Domestic Bond Fund and the North American Core Bond
Fund have similar investment objectives. The American General Domestic Bond
Fund seeks the highest possible total return consistent with conservation of
capital through investments primarily in investment grade fixed-income
securities and other income-producing securities. The North American Core Bond
Fund seeks to provide a high level of current income consistent with the
maintenance of principal and liquidity. In order to increase earning
potential, both the American General Domestic Bond Fund and the North American

waivers/reimbursements that affected the Fund's performance, see Appendix B
and the North American Prospectus. For more information about
waivers/reimbursements that affected the American General Domestic Bond
Fund's performance, see the AGSPC2 Prospectus.

The American General Domestic Bond Fund invests at least 65% of its assets
in investment grade U.S. corporate fixed-income securities rated at least A by
Moody's or S&P, securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, Yankee
bonds, asset-backed bonds and mortgage-backed bonds. The North American Core
Bond Fund invests at least 65% of its total assets in medium to high quality
fixed income securities, or in securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S.
Government, mortgage-backed or asset-backed securities.
With respect to foreign issuers, the North American Core Bond Fund may
invest a portion of the 65% of the Fund's total assets in U.S. dollar-
denominated fixed income securities issued by foreign issuers. The Fund
currently intends to limit such securities to no more than 40% of total
assets. The American General Domestic Bond Fund, on the other hand, may invest
up to 35% of its assets in non-U.S. investment grade intermediate and long-
term corporate fixed income securities rated at least A by Moody's or S&P or
of comparable quality, Eurodollar fixed income securities (which the Fund
currently intends to limit to no more than 20% of its total portfolio),
securities issued or guaranteed by the Canadian Government, its provinces or
their instrumentalities, and interest bearing short-term investments (up to
100% of its assets for temporary defensive purposes). While the American
General Domestic Bond Fund may invest in foreign securities denominated in
foreign currencies, the North American Core Bond Fund may only invest in
securities of foreign issuers that are traded in the United States.
The American General Domestic Bond Fund may invest up to 25% of its assets
in lesser quality fixed-income securities, including corporate bonds rated
less than A by Moody's or S&P, mortgage-related securities, and high-yield,
high-risk bonds. In contrast, the North American Core Bond Fund may invest up
to 10% of its assets in other fixed-income securities, including corporate
bonds rated below Baa3 by Moody's and BBB- by S&P. Unlike the American General
Domestic Bond Fund, the North American Core Bond Fund may invest up to 20% of
its assets in equity securities, including common or preferred stocks,
convertible securities and warrants. Both of the Funds may invest up to 35% of
total assets in interest bearing short term investments. Both Funds may invest
in derivatives.
The Funds are generally subject to similar risks, including the following
principal risks:
. Credit Risk (the risk that the companies in which the Fund invests, or
with which it does business, will fail financially or otherwise fail to
honor their obligations, including, in particular, the risks associated
with below investment grade fixed income securities)
. Currency Risk (the risk that the Fund's investments in securities
denominated in foreign currencies will decline as a result of changes in
exchange rates)
. Derivatives Risk (the risk that the value of the Fund's derivative
investments will decline as a result of imperfect correlation or
improper valuation)
. Foreign Investment Risk (the risk that the value of the Fund's foreign
investments will decline as a result of foreign political, social or
economic changes)
. Interest Rate Risk (the risk that the value of the Fund's debt
securities will decline as a result of a change in interest rates)
. Liquidity Risk (the risk that the Fund may be unable to sell a security
because there are too few people who actively trade that security on a
regular basis)
. Management Risk (the risk that the subadviser of a Fund may not produce
the desired investment results)
Unlike the American General Domestic Bond Fund, the North American Core
Bond Fund is actively traded, which means it has a high rate of portfolio
turnover. A high portfolio turnover rate generally corresponds with greater
brokerage commissions expenses and thus, greater operating expenses. Also, the
North American Core Bond Fund's active trading strategy may cause the Fund to
have a relatively high amount of short-term capital gains, which are taxable
at ordinary income tax rates.
American General Strategic Bond Fund vs. North American Strategic Income Fund
The North American Strategic Income Fund has adopted investment objectives,
policies, restrictions, and will be subject to investment risks, identical to
those of the American General Strategic Bond Fund. For more information about
the
42
investment objectives, policies, restrictions, risks and performance of the
North American Strategic Income Fund, see the North American Prospectus and the
AGSPC2 Prospectus.
American General Municipal Bond Fund vs. North American Municipal Bond Fund
The North American Municipal Bond Fund has adopted investment objectives,
policies and restrictions, and will be subject to investment risks, identical
to those of the American General Municipal Bond Fund. For more information
about the investment objectives, policies, restrictions, risks and performance
of the North American Municipal Bond Fund, see the North American Prospectus
and the AGSPC2 Prospectus.
American General Money Market Fund vs. North American Money Market Fund
The North American Money Market Fund has adopted investment objectives,
policies and restrictions, and will be subject to investment risks, identical
to those of the American General Money Market Fund. For more information about
the investment objectives, policies, restrictions, risks and performance of the
North American Money Market Fund, see the North American Prospectus and the
AGSPC2 Prospectus.
Risk Factors
Certain risks associated with an investment in the Acquiring Funds are
summarized below. Because each Acquiring Fund and the corresponding Acquired
Fund share certain policies described more fully above under "Overview of
Mergers--Comparison of Investment Objectives, Policies, Restrictions and
Risks," many of the risks of an investment in the Acquiring Fund are similar to
the risks of an investment in the corresponding Acquired Fund. A more detailed
description of the risks associated with an investment in the Acquiring Fund
may be found in the North American Prospectus under the caption "More
Information About Investment Strategies and Risks" and "Other Risks of
Investing" and in the North American SAI under the caption "Investment Policies
and Risks."
The values of all securities and other instruments held by the Acquiring
Funds vary from time to time in response to a wide variety of market factors.
Consequently, the net asset value per share of the Acquiring Funds will vary,
and may be less at the time of redemption than it was at the time of
investment.
Concentration Risk. Investment professionals believe that investment risk
can be reduced through diversification, which is simply the practice of
choosing more than one type of investment. On the other hand, concentrating
investments in a smaller number of securities increases risk.
Credit Risk. Credit risk is the risk that the issuer or the guarantor (the
entity that agrees to pay the debt if the issuer cannot) of a debt or fixed
income security, or the counterparty to a derivatives contract or a securities
loan, will not repay the principal and interest owed to the investors or
otherwise honor its obligations. There are different levels of credit risk.
Debt securities rated in one of the four highest rating categories by a rating
agency (and comparable unrated securities) are known as "investment grade."
Debt securities rated below the four highest rating categories by a rating
agency (and comparable unrated securities) are known as "lower-rated" or "junk
bonds." Funds that invest in lower-rated securities have higher levels of
credit risk. Lower-rated or unrated securities of equivalent quality (generally
known as junk bonds) have very high levels of credit risk. Securities that are
highly rated have lower levels of credit risk.
Funds may be subject to greater credit risk because they may invest in debt
securities issued in connection with corporate restructurings by highly
leveraged (indebted) issuers and in debt securities not current in the payment
of interest or principal, or in default.
Funds that invest in foreign securities are also subject to increased credit
risk because of the difficulties of requiring foreign entities, including
issuers of sovereign (national) debt, to honor their contractual commitments,
and because a number of foreign governments and other issuers are already in
default.
Currency Risk. Funds that invest in securities that are denominated in
and/or are receiving revenues in foreign currencies are subject to currency
risk. Currency risk is the risk that foreign currencies will decline in value
relative to the U.S. dollar. In the case of hedging positions, it is the risk
that the U.S. dollar will decline in value relative to the currency hedged.
Derivatives Risk. Derivatives are financial contracts between two parties
whose value depends
43
on, or is derived from, the change in value of an underlying asset, reference
rate or index. When the value of the underlying security or index changes, the
value of the derivative changes as well. As a result, derivatives can lose all
of their value very quickly. Because derivatives are contracts between parties,
there is also some credit risk associated with using derivatives. Additional
risks associated with derivatives include mispricing and improper valuation.
Derivatives risk for some Funds may be increased by their investments in
structured securities.
Equity Risk. Equity securities, such as a company's common stock, may fall
in value in response to factors relating to the issuer, such as management
decisions or falling demand for a company's goods or services. Additionally,
factors affecting a company's particular industry, such as increased production
costs, may affect the value of its equity securities. Equity securities also
rise and fall in value as a result of factors affecting entire financial
markets, such as political or economic developments, or changes in investor
psychology.
Growth stocks are the stocks of companies that have earnings that are
expected to grow relatively rapidly. As a result the values of growth stocks
may be more sensitive to changes in current or expected earnings than the
values of other stocks.
Value stocks are the stocks of companies that are not expected to experience
significant earnings growth, but that are undervalued, or are inexpensive
relative to the value of the companies and their business as a whole. These
companies may have experienced recent troubles that have caused their stocks to
be out of favor with investors. If the market does not recognize the value of a
company over time, the price of its stock may fall, or simply may not increase
as expected.
Market capitalization refers to the total value of a company's outstanding
stock. Smaller companies with market capitalizations of less than $1 billion or
so are more likely than larger companies to have limited product lines, smaller
markets for their products and services, and they may depend on a small or
inexperienced management group. Small company stocks may not trade very
actively, and their prices may fluctuate more than stocks of larger companies.
Stocks of smaller companies may be more vulnerable to negative changes than
stocks of larger companies.
Foreign Investment Risk. Funds that invest in foreign securities may
experience rapid changes in value. One reason for this volatility is that the
securities markets of many foreign countries are relatively small, with a
limited number of companies representing a small number of industries. Also,
foreign securities issuers are usually not subject to the same degree of
regulation as U.S. issuers. Reporting, accounting and auditing standards of
foreign countries differ, in some cases significantly, from U.S. standards.
The possibility of political instability or diplomatic developments in
foreign countries could trigger nationalization of companies and industries,
expropriation (confiscation of property), extremely high levels of taxation,
and other negative developments. In the event of nationalization, expropriation
or other confiscation, a Fund could lose its entire investment. Funds that
invest in sovereign debt obligations are exposed to the risks of political,
social and economic change in the countries that issue the bonds.
Index Risk. The S&P 500 Index includes the common stock of many large, well-
established companies. However, the value of any common stock can rise and fall
over short and long periods of time. The North American Stock Index Fund does
not attempt to outperform the index, and its performance may fail to match that
of the index for a variety of reasons, including payment of Fund expenses and
transaction costs.
Interest Rate Risk (Market Risk). Interest rate risk or market risk is the
risk that a change in interest rates will negatively affect the value of a
security. This risk applies primarily to debt securities such as bonds, notes
and asset backed securities. Debt securities are obligations of the issuer to
make payments of principal and/or interest on future dates. As interest rates
rise, an investment in a Fund can lose value, because the value of the
securities the Fund holds may fall. Market risk is generally greater for Funds
that invest in debt securities with longer maturities. This risk may be
increased for Funds that invest in mortgage-backed securities or other types of
asset-backed securities that are often prepaid. Even Funds that invest in the
highest quality debt securities are subject to interest rate risk.
44
Liquidity Risk. Liquidity risk is the risk that a Fund will not be able to
sell a security because there are too few people who actively buy and sell, or
trade, that security on a regular basis. A Fund holding an illiquid security
may not be able to sell the security at a fair price. Liquidity risk increases
for Funds investing in derivatives, foreign investments or restricted
securities.
Management Risk. Management risk is the risk that the adviser or subadviser
of a Fund, despite using various investment and risk analysis techniques, may
not produce the desired investment results.

Each Acquired Fund and each Acquiring Fund, except for the North American
Money Market Fund, distributes any net realized capital gains annually.
Purchases. The Acquired Funds and the Acquiring Funds have similar
procedures for purchasing shares. Class A and Class B shares of the Acquired
Funds may be purchased at their net asset value next determined, plus
applicable sales charges in the case of Class A shares from American General
Distributors, Inc. ("AGD"), the principal underwriter of the Acquired Funds.
Acquired Fund Institutional Class I and Institutional Class II shares may only
be purchased through AGD. Class A and Class B shares of the Acquiring Funds may
be purchased at their net asset value next determined, plus applicable sales
charges in the case of Class A shares, from American General Funds
Distributors, Inc. ("AGFD"), the principal underwriter of the Acquiring Funds.
Institutional Class I shares of each of the Acquiring Funds, except the North
American Municipal Bond Fund, and Institutional Class II shares of the North
American Core Bond Fund are currently available to be purchased only through
qualifying employer plans. In addition, shares of the Acquired Funds and the
Acquiring Funds may be purchased through other broker-dealers that have dealer
agreements with AGD and AGFD, as the case may be.
Class B shares of the Acquiring Funds are subject to a CDSC at declining
rates if redeemed
45
within six years of purchase. Class B Merger Shares will be subject to a CDSC
on redemption to the same extent that the Acquired Fund shares were so subject.
No sales charge will be charged to Acquired Fund shareholders on the issuance
of the Merger Shares, and no CDSC will be charged by the Acquired Funds.
Redemptions. Redemption procedures for the Acquired Funds and the Acquiring
Funds are similar. Shares of a Fund may be redeemed at their net asset value
next determined after receipt of a redemption request, less any applicable
CDSC, on any day the New York Stock Exchange is open. You can redeem shares by
contacting the relevant Fund by mail, by telephone, and in the case of the
Acquiring Funds, through broker-dealers if a dealer arrangement is in place or
by wire communication.
The Acquired Funds generally require a minimum initial investment of $2,000.
If a shareholder's account falls below the minimum, the account may be closed,
and the shares may be involuntarily redeemed. The Acquiring Funds require a
minimum initial investment of $1,000 and a minimum account balance of $500. If
a shareholder's account falls below $500, the shares may be involuntarily
redeemed.
Exchanges. Shares of each Acquired Fund can be exchanged for shares of the
same class of any other fund of AGSPC2. Shares of the Acquiring Funds can
generally be exchanged for shares of the same class of any fund of North
American Funds. However, only the North American Core Bond Fund and the North
American High Yield Bond Fund offer Institutional Class II shares. For more
details, see the North American Prospectus and the North American SAI.
General. See the North American Prospectus for further information regarding
the Acquiring Funds' distribution policies and purchase, exchange and
redemption procedures.

SPECIAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS
This Prospectus/Proxy Statement is being furnished in connection with a
Special Meeting of Shareholders of each Acquired Fund to be held on June 22,
2000, or at such later time made necessary by adjournment (the "Meeting") and
the solicitation of proxies by and on behalf of the shareholders of the
Acquired Funds for use at the Meeting. The Meeting is being held to consider
the proposed Mergers of each Acquired Fund with the corresponding Acquiring
Fund by the transfer of all of the Acquired Fund's assets and liabilities to
the Acquiring Fund. The Mergers will be voted on separately by each Fund's
shareholders. The approval of each Merger is not a condition to the Mergers of
the other Funds, except that:
. The approval of the Merger of the American General International Value
Fund into the North American International Equity Fund is a condition to
the Merger of the American General International Growth Fund into the
North American International Equity Fund and vice versa.
. The approval of the Merger of the American General Domestic Bond Fund
into the North American Core Bond Fund is a condition to the Merger of
the American General Core Bond Fund into the North American Core Bond
Fund and vice versa.
This Prospectus/Proxy Statement and the enclosed form of proxy are being
mailed to shareholders on or about May 24, 2000.
The Trustees of AGSPC2 know of no matters other than those set forth herein
to be brought before the Meeting. If, however, any other matters properly come
before the Meeting, it is the Trustees' intention that proxies will be voted
on such matters in accordance with the judgment of the persons named in the
enclosed form of proxy.
47
THE PROPOSALS:
Approval or Disapproval of Agreement and Plan of Reorganization
Shareholders are being asked to approve or disapprove the Mergers between
various funds as shown on page 1. Each Merger is proposed to take place
pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization between the Acquired Fund
and the Acquiring Fund (the "Agreement"), each of which is in the form attached
to this Prospectus/Proxy Statement as Appendix A. Each Agreement provides,
among other things, for the transfer of all of the assets of the Acquired Fund
to the Acquiring Fund in exchange for (i) the issuance to the Acquired Fund of
the Class A, Class B, Institutional Class I and Institutional Class II Merger
Shares, the number of which will be calculated based on the value of the net
assets attributable to the Class A, Class B, Institutional Class I and
Institutional Class II shares, respectively, of the Acquired Fund acquired by
the Acquiring Fund and the net asset value per Class A, Class B, Institutional
Class I and Institutional Class II shares of the Acquiring Fund and (ii) the
assumption by the Acquiring Fund of all of the liabilities of the Acquired
Fund, all as more fully described below under "Information About the Mergers."
After receipt of the Merger Shares, the Acquired Fund will cause the Class A
Merger Shares to be distributed to its Class A shareholders, the Class B Merger
Shares to be distributed to its Class B shareholders, the Institutional Class I
Merger Shares to be distributed to its Institutional Class I shareholders and
the Institutional Class II Merger Shares to be distributed to its Class II
shareholders, in complete liquidation of the Acquired Fund. Each shareholder of
an Acquired Fund will receive a number of full and fractional Class A, Class B,
Institutional Class I and Institutional Class II Merger Shares equal in value
at the date of the exchange to the aggregate value of the shareholder's Class
A, Class B, Institutional Class I and Institutional Class II Acquired Fund
shares, as the case may be.
Board of Trustees' Recommendations. The Board of Trustees of AGSPC2 has
voted unanimously to approve each proposed Merger and to recommend that
shareholders of each Acquired Fund also approve the Merger for such Fund.
Required Shareholder Vote. Approval of each proposed Merger for each
Acquired Fund will require the affirmative vote of a majority of all
outstanding shares of the relevant Acquired Fund, voting together as a single
class, present and entitled to vote, provided a quorum is present. The holders
of a majority of the Class A, Class B, Institutional Class I and Institutional
Class II shares of each Acquired Fund outstanding at the close of business on
the Record Date present in person or represented by proxy will constitute a
quorum for the Meeting with respect to that Fund.
Background and Reasons for the Proposed Mergers
The Board of Trustees of AGSPC2 including all of its Trustees who are not
"interested persons" of AGSPC2 (the "Independent Trustees"), has unanimously
determined that each Merger would be in the best interests of the relevant
Acquired Fund, and that the interests of the Acquired Fund's shareholders would
not be diluted as a result of effecting the Merger. At meetings held on March 1
and March 2, 2000, the Board unanimously approved each proposed Merger and
recommended its approval by shareholders. Before reaching their conclusions,
the Board conducted an extensive "due diligence" review. Among other things,
the Trustees received reports relating to AGAM's ability to manage the
Acquiring Funds, reviewed the ability of AGAM's affiliates to provide or
procure administrative and distribution services and met with the Chairman and
Chief Executive Officer of AGAM. The Board took into account the fact that
current owners of AGAM will be bearing the expenses associated with the
Mergers, including those described under "Information about the Mergers." The
Board also took into account the depth and strength of staffing of investment
professionals and administrative personnel at AGAM and the subadvisers, the
portfolio managers of the Acquiring Funds and the other service providers to
the Acquiring Funds, as well as AGFD's plans for distribution of the Funds
following the Mergers. The Board also took into account that existing fee
waivers and expense reimbursements for the Acquired Funds (which had
substantially reduced net investment advisory revenues) were unlikely to be
sustainable. In addition, the Board took into account the relative historical
investment performance of the Acquiring
48
Funds, on the one hand, and the Acquired Funds, on the other hand.
The principal reasons why the Board of Trustees is recommending the Mergers
are as follows:
(i) Enhanced distribution network. The combined organization is expected to
have a more effective distribution and distribution support network, which may
result in long term growth potential and economies of scale. The combined
organization is also expected to have improved client servicing and operational
capabilities.
(ii) Sustainable decreases in overall expenses. The Mergers are expected to
result generally in sustainable expense ratios that are lower than what the
expense ratios of the Acquired Funds would be absent the fee waivers and
expense reimbursements currently in effect, as described more fully in the
Overview under "Operating Expenses." Of course, there can be no assurance that
the Mergers will result in savings in operating expenses to shareholders.
(iii) Larger, more integrated fund complex. The Mergers will create a
larger, more diverse family of funds with increased potential for lower
expenses. The Mergers will also give shareholders exchange privileges among a
wider array of funds.
(iv) Appropriate investment objectives, diversification, etc. The investment
objective, policies, and restrictions of each Acquiring Fund are generally
compatible with those of the corresponding Acquired Fund, and the Trustees
believe that an investment in shares of each Acquiring Fund (whose portfolio
will have been combined with that of the Acquired Fund, except for the newly
created North American Stock Index Fund and the North American Mid Cap Value
Fund) will provide shareholders with an investment opportunity comparable to
that currently afforded by the Acquired Fund with the potential for reduced
investment risk because of the opportunities for additional diversification of
portfolio investments through increased Fund assets.
(v) Uniform organizational documents. The Mergers of certain Acquired Funds
into the newly created North American Stock Index Fund and the North American
Mid Cap Value Fund will allow all of the Funds to be governed under a single
set of organizational documents following the Mergers.
INFORMATION ABOUT THE MERGERS
Agreement and Plan of Reorganization. Each proposed Agreement provides that
the relevant Acquiring Fund will acquire all of the assets of the corresponding
Acquired Fund in exchange for the issuance of the Class A, Class B,
Institutional Class I and Institutional Class II Merger Shares and for the
assumption by the Acquiring Fund of all of the liabilities of the Acquired
Fund, all as of the Exchange Date (defined in each Agreement to be July 7, 2000
or such other date as may be agreed upon by the Acquiring Fund and the Acquired
Fund). The following discussion of the Agreements is qualified in its entirety
by the full text of each Agreement, the form of which is attached as Appendix A
to this Prospectus/Proxy Statement.
Each Acquired Fund will sell all of its assets to the corresponding
Acquiring Fund, and, in exchange, the Acquiring Fund will assume all of the
liabilities of the Acquired Fund and deliver to the Acquired Fund (i) a number
of full and fractional Class A Merger Shares having an aggregate net asset
value equal to the value of the assets of the Acquired Fund attributable to its
Class A shares, less the value of the liabilities of the Acquired Fund assumed
by the Acquiring Fund attributable to the Class A shares of the Acquired Fund,
(ii) a number of full and fractional Class B Merger Shares having an aggregate
net asset value equal to the value of assets of the Acquired Fund attributable
to its Class B shares, less the value of the liabilities of the Acquired Fund
assumed by the Acquiring Fund attributable to the Class B shares of the
Acquired Fund, (iii) a number of full and fractional Institutional Class I
Merger Shares having an aggregate net asset value equal to the value of the
assets of the Acquired Fund attributable to its Institutional Class I shares,
less the value of the liabilities of the Acquired Fund assumed by the Acquiring
Fund attributable to the Institutional Class I shares of the Acquired Fund, and
(iv) a number of full and fractional Institutional Class II Merger Shares
having an aggregate net asset value equal to the value of the assets of the
Acquired Fund attributable to its Institutional Class II shares, less the value
of the liabilities of the Acquired Fund assumed by the Acquiring Fund
attributable to the Institutional Class II shares of the Acquired Fund.
Immediately following the Exchange Date, each Acquired Fund will distribute
pro rata to its shareholders of record as of the close of business on
49
the Exchange Date the full and fractional Merger Shares received by the
Acquired Fund, with Class A Merger Shares being distributed to holders of
Class A shares of the Acquired Fund, Class B Merger Shares being distributed to
holders of Class B shares of the Acquired Fund, Institutional Class I Merger
Shares being distributed to holders of Institutional Class I shares of the
Acquired Fund and Institutional Class II Merger Shares being distributed to
holders of Institutional Class II shares of the Acquired Fund. As a result of
the proposed transaction, each holder of Class A, Class B, Institutional Class
I and Institutional Class II shares of the Acquired Fund will receive a number
of Class A, Class B, Institutional Class I and Institutional Class II Merger
Shares equal in aggregate value at the Exchange Date to the value of the Class
A, Class B, Institutional Class I and Institutional Class II shares of the
Acquired Fund held by the shareholder. This distribution will be accomplished
by the establishment of accounts on the share records of the corresponding
Acquiring Fund in the names of the Acquired Fund shareholders, each account
representing the respective number of full and fractional Class A, Class B,
Institutional Class I and Institutional Class II Merger Shares due to such
shareholder. Because the shares of the Acquiring Funds will not be represented
by certificates, certificates for Merger Shares will not be issued.
The consummation of each Merger is subject to the conditions set forth in
the Agreement. The obligations of each Acquired Fund under the Agreement are
conditioned upon the approval by the shareholders of each Acquiring Fund of the
investment advisory agreement between AGAM and the corresponding Acquiring Fund
that is the subject of a separate proxy statement to Acquiring Fund
shareholders dated April 12, 2000. The consummation of each Merger is also
conditioned upon the receipt of an SEC order exempting the proposed Mergers
from Section 17(a) of the 1940 Act, which limits transactions between
investment companies and affiliated persons, or any affiliate of an affiliated
person. Because, as described below, AGC and VALIC own more than 5% of the
outstanding shares of most Acquired Funds, they may be deemed affiliated
persons of both the Acquired Funds and the Acquiring Funds, and, absent an
exemption, the Mergers may be prohibited. AGC, North American Funds and VALIC
have applied for exemptive relief from the SEC to permit the Mergers. The
Agreement may be terminated and the Merger abandoned at any time, before or
after approval by the shareholders of each Acquired Fund, prior to the Exchange
Date, by mutual consent of the relevant Funds or, if any condition set forth in
the Agreement has not been fulfilled and has not been waived by the party
entitled to its benefits, by such party.
All legal, accounting, printing and other fees and expenses incurred in
connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the
Agreement will be borne by AGC, including registration fees. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, expenses will in any event be paid by the party directly
incurring such expenses if and to the extent that the payment by any other
party of such expenses would result in the disqualification of the first party
as a "regulated investment company" within the meaning of Section 851 of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").
Description of the Merger Shares. You will be issued full and fractional
Merger Shares in accordance with the procedure under the Agreement as described
above. The Merger Shares that you receive have characteristics similar to those
of the corresponding class of Acquired Fund shares with respect to sales
charges, CDSCs, conversion and 12b-1 servicing and distribution fees.
Comparison of Rights of Security Holders
Organizational Documents. Each of the Merger Shares will be fully paid and
nonassessable by the Acquiring Fund when issued, will be transferable without
restriction, and will have no preemptive or conversion rights, except that
Class B Merger Shares convert automatically into Class A shares as described
above in "Overview--Overview of the Acquired Funds and the Acquiring Funds."
The Amended and Restated Agreement and Declaration of Trust of North American
Funds, as amended (the "North American Declaration of Trust") permits North
American Funds to divide its shares, without shareholder approval, into two or
more series of shares representing separate investment portfolios and to
further divide any such series, without shareholder approval, into two or more
classes of shares having such preferences and special or relative rights and
privileges as the Trustees may determine. The Acquiring Funds' shares are
currently divided into three, four or five classes depending on the Fund.
50
The following is a summary of the major differences between the governing
documents and laws applicable to each of the Acquiring Funds and the Acquired
Funds. AGSPC2 is organized as a Delaware business trust, while North American
Funds is organized as a Massachusetts business trust. Except as otherwise noted
below, the provisions of Massachusetts law, the North American Declaration of
Trust and By-laws (the "North American By-laws") are similar to those of
Delaware law, the Agreement and Declaration of Trust, as amended (the "AGSPC2
Declaration of Trust") and Bylaws (the "AGSPC2 Bylaws") of AGSPC2. Each of the
Acquiring Funds and the Acquired Funds is subject to the 1940 Act.
Meetings of Shareholders. The AGSPC2 Declaration of Trust provides that the
Trustees may call a meeting of the shareholders. However, if the Trustees fail
to call a meeting after written application by shareholders holding at least
ten percent of the shares requesting that a meeting be called for a purpose
requiring shareholder action, shareholders holding at least 10% of the shares
may call the meeting. By contrast, the North American Declaration of Trust
gives the Trustees and shareholders holding at least 25% of the shares then
outstanding the right to call a meeting of the shareholders.
Quorums. The AGSPC2 Declaration of Trust and the AGSPC2 Bylaws provide that
a majority of the shares entitled to vote shall be a quorum for the transaction
of business at a shareholders meeting of AGSPC2. The North American Declaration
of Trust provides that thirty percent of the shares entitled to vote
constitutes a quorum at all meetings of the shareholders. The Declarations of
Trust and the Bylaws of both AGSPC2 and North American Funds provide that a
majority of Trustees then in office constitutes a quorum for a meeting of the
Trustees.
Required Vote. Under the North American Declaration of Trust, a plurality of
the shares voted at a meeting at which a quorum is present elects a trustee. A
majority of the shares voted decides any other questions, except that a vote of
a "majority of the outstanding shares" as defined in Section 2(a)(42) of the
1940 Act is required for purposes of the termination of the Trust, the merger,
consolidation or sale of substantially all of the assets of the Trust, or the
amendment of the Declaration of Trust to adversely affect the rights of certain
shareholders. Under the 1940 Act, a vote of a "majority of the outstanding
shares" means (i) 67% or more of the shares present at a meeting if the holders
of more than 50% of the shares are present or represented by proxy, or (ii)
more than 50% of the outstanding shares of the Trust.
Under the AGSPC2 Declaration of Trust, a majority shareholder vote decides
any question, including an amendment to the Declaration of Trust if the
amendment adversely affects the rights of shareholders and the reorganization
or termination of the Trust, except that a plurality is required for the
election of a Trustee and a vote of the "majority of the outstanding shares" as
defined in the 1940 Act is required for the liquidation of the Trust.
Trustees. The North American Declaration of Trust requires that the number
of Trustees shall be no less than three, while the AGSPC2 Declaration of Trust
states that the number of Trustees shall be no more than twelve and no less
than the number determined by a written instrument signed by a majority of the
Trustees. Pursuant to the AGSPC2 Declaration of Trust, any Trustee may be
removed by (i) a vote of a majority of the shares cast in person or by proxy at
any meeting called for that purpose, or (ii) a written declaration signed by
the holders of not less than a majority of the shares. The North American
Declaration of Trust provides that a Trustee may be removed with or without
cause at any time by (i) action of two-thirds of the Trustees or (ii) a vote of
shareholders holding not less than two-thirds of the shares then outstanding,
cast in person or by proxy at any meeting called for the purpose of removal.
Indemnification. The AGSPC2 Declaration of Trust provides that the Trust
will indemnify Trustees and officers against all liabilities incurred in
connection with any action in which the Trustee or officer was involved by
reason of having been a Trustee or officer. However, the Trust will not
indemnify any Trustee or officer for a criminal proceeding or with respect to
any matter for which a determination has been made that the Trustee or officer
(i) did not act in good faith, or (ii) acted with willful misfeasance, bad
faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties of the Trustee or
officer. Such a determination will be made by either a vote of a majority of a
quorum of disinterested
51
Trustees or by independent legal counsel in a written opinion.
The North American Declaration of Trust provides that the Trustees and
officers shall be indemnified against all liabilities incurred while in office
or thereafter by reason of being a Trustee or officer except for liabilities
concerning acts with respect to which it has been determined that such person
did not act in the best interest of the Trust or acted with willful
misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of such person's
duties. A determination of indemnification may be made by a majority of a
quorum of disinterested Trustees or by independent legal counsel.
Personal Liability. Under Massachusetts law, shareholders of a Massachusetts
business trust could, under certain circumstances, be held personally liable
for the obligations of the Trust. However, the North American Declaration of
Trust disclaims shareholder liability for acts or obligations of the Trust
and/or the Acquiring Funds and requires that notice of such disclaimer be given
each agreement, undertaking, or obligation entered into or executed by the
Trust, the Acquiring Funds or the Trustees. The North American Declaration of
Trust provides for indemnification out of Acquiring Fund property for all loss
and expense of any shareholder held personally liable for the obligations of
the Acquiring Fund. Thus, the risk of a shareholder's incurring financial loss
from shareholder liability is limited to circumstances in which the Acquiring
Fund would be unable to meet its obligations. The likelihood of such a
circumstance is considered remote. Unlike Massachusetts law, the applicable
Delaware statute expressly provides for limited liability of shareholders of
business trusts.
Termination. The AGSPC2 Declaration of Trust allows for the termination of
the Trust at any time by a vote of a majority of the Trustees, subject to the
vote of not less than a majority of the shares or by an instrument in writing
without a meeting consented to by the holders of not less than a majority of
the shares. The North American Declaration of Trust provides that the Trust or
any series may be terminated by a majority of the Trustees by written notice to
the shareholders or by a vote of the lesser of (i) 67% or more of the shares if
the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding shares are present or
represented by proxy at the meeting, or (ii) more than 50% of the outstanding
shares provided a quorum is present at the meeting.
Amendments. The North American Declaration of Trust may be amended by a
majority of the Trustees so long as the amendment does not adversely affect the
rights of any shareholder. An amendment that would adversely affect the rights
of the shareholders may be adopted by a vote of the lesser of (i) 67% of shares
if the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding shares are present or
represented by proxy at the meeting, or (ii) more than 50% of the outstanding
shares provided a quorum is present at the meeting. If an amendment would not
affect all of the shareholders of the Trust, such a majority vote is only
required by the shareholders affected.
The AGSPC2 Declaration of Trust may be amended at any time by a written
instrument signed by a majority of the Trustees or by an officer pursuant to a
vote by a majority of the Trustees so long an the amendment does not adversely
affect the rights of any shareholder. If the amendment would adversely affect
the rights of all of the shareholders, the amendment may be adopted by a vote
of a majority of all of the shares and a written instrument signed by a
majority of the Trustees or by an officer pursuant to a vote by a majority of
the Trustees. If the amendment would adversely affect the rights of less than
all of the shareholders, it may be adopted by a vote of the holders of a
majority of the shares so affected. The AGSPC2 Bylaws may be amended by a vote
of a majority of the shareholders or by a vote of a majority of the Trustees.
The North American By-laws may only be amended by a majority of the Trustees.
Federal Income Tax Consequences. The Mergers will be tax-free
reorganizations. Each Merger will be conditioned on receipt of an opinion from
Ropes & Gray, special counsel to North American Funds, to the effect that, on
the basis of the existing provisions of the Code, current administrative rules
and court decisions, for federal income tax purposes: (i) under Section 361 of
the Code, no gain or loss will be recognized by the Acquired Fund as a result
of the reorganization; (ii) under Section 354 of the Code, no gain or loss will
be recognized by shareholders of the Acquired Fund on the distribution of
Merger Shares to them in exchange for their shares of the Acquired Fund;
(iii) under Section 358 of the Code, the aggregate tax basis of the Merger
Shares that the Acquired Fund's shareholders receive in place of their
52
Acquired Fund shares will be the same as the aggregate tax basis of the
Acquired Fund shares; (iv) under Section 1223(1) of the Code, an Acquired
Fund's shareholder's holding period for the Merger Shares received pursuant to
the Agreement will be determined by including the holding period for the
Acquired Fund shares exchanged for the Merger Shares, provided that the
shareholder held the Acquired Fund shares as a capital asset; (v) under Section
1032 of the Code, no gain or loss will be recognized by the Acquiring Fund as a
result of the reorganization; (vi) under Section 362(b) of the Code, the
Acquiring Fund's tax basis in the assets that the Acquiring Fund receives from
the Acquired Fund will be the same as the Acquired Fund's tax basis in such
assets; and (vii) under Section 1223(2) of the Code, the Acquiring Fund's
holding period in such assets will include the Acquired Fund's holding period
in such assets. The opinion will be based on certain factual certifications
made by officers of AGSPC2 and North American Funds, and will also include
certain qualifications and be based on customary assumptions.
A substantial portion of the portfolio assets of each of the American
General International Growth Fund, the American General International Value
Fund, the American General Large Cap Value Fund and the American General
Domestic Bond Fund may be sold in connection with the Mergers of those Funds
into the respective Acquiring Funds. The actual tax impact of such sales will
depend on the difference between the price at which such portfolio assets are
sold and the selling Fund's basis in such assets. Any capital gains recognized
in these sales will be distributed to the selling Fund's shareholders as
capital gain dividends (to the extent of the excess of net realized long-term
capital gains over net realized short-term capital losses) and/or ordinary
dividends (to the extent of net realized short-term capital gains) during or
with respect to the year of sale, and such distributions will be taxable to
shareholders.
Prior to the Exchange Date, each Acquired Fund, except the American General
Stock Index Fund and the American General Mid Cap Value Fund, will declare a
distribution to shareholders which, together with all previous distributions,
will have the effect of distributing to shareholders all of its investment
company taxable income (computed without regard to the deduction for dividends
paid) and net realized capital gains, if any, through the Exchange Date.
The foregoing description of the federal income tax consequences of the
Mergers is made without regard to the particular facts and circumstances of any
shareholder. Shareholders are urged to consult their own tax advisers as to the
specific consequences to them of the Mergers, including the applicability and
effect of state, local, foreign and other tax laws.
Capital Loss Carry-Forwards and Net Unrealized Capital Appreciation
(Depreciation). The following tables show the capital loss carry-forwards and
the net unrealized capital appreciation (depreciation) for each Acquired Fund
and each Acquiring Fund, in each case as a percentage of the Fund's total net
assets. The percentages of capital loss carry-forwards and net unrealized
capital appreciation (depreciation) as of October 31, 1999 were as follows:

AGSPC2 does not currently intend to hold such a meeting for shareholders of the
Acquired Funds in 2000. Shareholder proposals for inclusion in a proxy
statement for any subsequent meeting of the Acquired Funds' shareholders must
be received by AGSPC2 a reasonable period of time prior to any such meeting. If
the Mergers are consummated, there will be no meetings of the shareholders of
the Acquired Funds.
Adjournment. If sufficient votes in favor of any proposal are not received by
the time scheduled for the Meeting, the persons named as proxies may propose
one or more adjournments of the Meeting to permit further solicitation of
proxies. Any adjournment will require the affirmative vote of a plurality of
the votes cast on the question in person or by proxy at the session of the
Meeting to be adjourned. If the Meeting is adjourned only with respect to one
Proposal, any other Proposal may still be acted upon by the shareholders. The
persons named as proxies will vote in favor of such adjournment those proxies
which they are entitled to vote in favor of the Proposal. They will vote
against any such adjournment those proxies required to be voted against the
Proposal.

APPENDIX A
AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION
This Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the "Agreement") is made as of
, 2000 in Boston, Massachusetts, by and between American General Series
Portfolio Company 2, a Delaware business trust, on behalf of its American
General [ ] Fund series (the "Acquired Fund") and North American Funds, a
Massachusetts business trust, on behalf of its [ ] Fund series (the
"Acquiring Fund").
Plan of Reorganization
(a) On the Exchange Date (as defined in Section 6), the Acquired Fund will
sell, assign, convey, transfer and deliver to the Acquiring Fund all of its
properties and assets. In consideration therefor, the Acquiring Fund shall, on
the Exchange Date, assume all of the liabilities of the Acquired Fund existing
at the Valuation Time (as defined in Section 3(c)) and deliver to the Acquired
Fund (i) a number of full and fractional Class A shares of beneficial interest
of the Acquiring Fund (the "Class A Merger Shares") having an aggregate net
asset value equal to the value of the assets of the Acquired Fund attributable
to Class A shares of the Acquired Fund transferred to the Acquiring Fund on
such date less the value of the liabilities of the Acquired Fund attributable
to Class A shares of the Acquired Fund assumed by the Acquiring Fund on that
date, (ii) a number of full and fractional Class B shares of beneficial
interest of the Acquiring Fund (the "Class B Merger Shares") having an
aggregate net asset value equal to the value of the assets of the Acquired Fund
attributable to Class B shares of the Acquired Fund transferred to the
Acquiring Fund on such date less the value of the liabilities of the Acquired
Fund attributable to Class B shares of the Acquired Fund assumed by the
Acquiring Fund on that date, [(iii) a number of full and fractional
Institutional Class I shares of beneficial interest of the Acquiring Fund (the
"Class I Merger Shares") having an aggregate net asset value equal to the value
of the assets of the Acquired Fund attributable to Institutional Class I shares
of the Acquired Fund transferred to the Acquiring Fund on such date less the
value of the liabilities of the Acquired Fund attributable to Institutional
Class I shares of the Acquired Fund assumed by the Acquiring Fund on that date
and (iv) a number of full and fractional Institutional Class II shares of
beneficial interest of the Acquiring Fund (the "Institutional Class II Merger
Shares") having an aggregate net asset value equal to the value of the assets
of the Acquired Fund attributable to Institutional Class II shares of the
Acquired Fund transferred to the Acquiring Fund on such date less the value of
the liabilities of the Acquired Fund attributable to Institutional Class II
shares of the Acquired Fund assumed by the Acquiring Fund on that date.] (The
Class A Merger Shares, the Class B Merger Shares, [the Institutional Class I
Merger Shares and the Institutional Class II Merger Shares] shall be referred
to collectively as the "Merger Shares.") It is intended that the reorganization
described in this Agreement shall be a reorganization within the meaning of
Section 368 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").
(b) Upon consummation of the transactions described in paragraph (a) of
this Agreement, the Acquired Fund shall distribute in complete liquidation to
its Class A, Class B, [Institutional Class I and Institutional Class II]
shareholders of record as of the Exchange Date the Class A, Class B,
[Institutional Class I and Institutional Class II] Merger Shares of the
Acquiring Fund, each such shareholder being entitled to receive that proportion
of such Class A, Class B, [Institutional Class I and Institutional Class II]
Merger Shares which the number of Class A, Class B, [Institutional Class I and
Institutional Class II] shares of beneficial interest of the Acquired Fund held
by such shareholder bears to the number of Class A, Class B, [Institutional
Class I and Institutional Class II] shares of the Acquired Fund outstanding on
such date. Certificates representing the Merger Shares will not be issued. All
issued and outstanding shares of the Acquired Fund will simultaneously be
canceled on the books of the Acquired Fund.
(c) As promptly as practicable after the liquidation of the Acquired Fund
as aforesaid, the Acquired Fund shall be dissolved pursuant to the provision of
the Agreement and Declaration of Trust, as amended, of American General Series
Portfolio Company 2 (the "AGSPC2 Declaration of Trust") and applicable law, and
its legal existence terminated. Any reporting responsibility of the Acquired
Fund is and shall remain the responsibility of the Acquired Fund up to and
including the Exchange Date and, if applicable, such later date on which the
Acquired Fund is liquidated.
A-1

The Acquiring Fund and the Acquired Fund agree as follows:
1. Representations, Warranties and Agreements of the Acquiring Fund. The

as a foreign association in every jurisdiction where required, except to
the extent that failure to so qualify would not have a material adverse

Funds or the Acquiring Fund, contain any untrue statement of a material
fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or

pending or, to the knowledge of North American Funds or the Acquiring Fund,

otherwise, incurred by it subsequent to October 31, 1999, whether or not
incurred in the ordinary course of business.

federal and other tax returns and reports which, to the knowledge of North
American Funds' officers, are required to have been filed by the Acquiring
Fund and will have paid or will pay all federal and other taxes shown to be

authority for taxes in excess of those already paid.
h. No consent, approval, authorization or order of any court or
governmental authority is required for the consummation by the Acquiring

of Puerto Rico).
i. The registration statement (the "Registration Statement") filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") by North American

Fund Proxy Statement made in reliance upon and in conformity with
information furnished in writing by the Acquired Fund to the Acquiring Fund
or North American Funds specifically for use in the Registration Statement

all applicable federal and state securities laws (including any applicable
exemptions therefrom), or the Acquiring Fund has taken any action necessary
to remedy any prior failure to have offered for sale and sold such shares
in conformity with such laws.
l. The Acquiring Fund qualifies and will at all times through the
Exchange Date qualify for taxation as a "regulated investment company"

n. The Merger Shares to be issued to the Acquired Fund have been duly
authorized and, when issued and delivered pursuant to this Agreement, will
be legally and validly issued and will be fully paid and non-assessable by
the Acquiring Fund, and no shareholder of the Acquiring Fund will have any
preemptive right of subscription or purchase in respect thereof.
o. All issued and outstanding shares of the Acquiring Fund are, and at
the Exchange Date will be, duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and
non-assessable by the Acquiring Fund. The Acquiring Fund does not have

purchase any Acquiring Fund shares, nor is there outstanding any security
convertible into any Acquiring Fund shares.
2. Representations, Warranties and Agreements of the Acquired Fund. The
Acquired Fund represents and warrants to and agrees with the Acquiring Fund
that:
a. The Acquired Fund is a series of American General Series Portfolio
Company 2, a Delaware business trust duly established and validly existing
under the laws of the State of Delaware, and has power to own all of its
properties and assets and to carry out this Agreement. Each of American
General Series Portfolio Company 2 and the Acquired Fund is registered in
every jurisdiction where required, except to
A-3
the extent that failure to so register would not have a material adverse
effect on American General Series Portfolio Company 2. Each of American
General Series Portfolio Company 2 and the Acquired Fund has all necessary
federal, state and local authorizations to own all of its properties and
assets and to carry on its business as now being conducted and to carry out
this Agreement.
b. American General Series Portfolio Company 2 is registered under the
1940 Act as an open-end management investment company, and such

c. A statement of assets and liabilities, statements of operations,
statements of changes in net assets and a schedule of investments
(indicating their market values) of the Acquired Fund as of and for the
year ended October 31, 1999 have been furnished to the Acquiring Fund. Such
statement of assets and liabilities and schedule fairly present the
financial position of the Acquired Fund as of their date, and such
statements of operations and changes in net assets fairly reflect the
results of its operations and changes in net assets for the periods covered
thereby, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
d. The current prospectus and statement of additional information of
American General Series Portfolio Company 2, dated March 1, 2000
(collectively, the "AGSPC2 Prospectus"), which has been previously
furnished to the Acquiring Fund, did not as of such dates and does not as
of the date of this Agreement contain, with respect to American General
Series Portfolio Company 2 or the Acquired Fund, any untrue statement of a
material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading.
e. There are no material legal, administrative or other proceedings
pending or, to the knowledge of American General Series Portfolio Company 2
or the Acquired Fund, threatened against American General Series Portfolio
Company 2 or the Acquired Fund, which assert liability on the part of
American General Series Portfolio Company 2 or the Acquired Fund. The
Acquired Fund knows of no facts which might form the basis for the
institution of such proceedings and is not a party to or subject to the
provisions of any order, decree or judgment of any court or governmental
body which materially and adversely affects its business or its ability to
consummate the transactions herein contemplated.
f. There are no material contracts outstanding to which the Acquired
Fund is a party, other than as are disclosed in American General Series
Portfolio Company 2's registration statement on Form N-1A or the AGSPC2
Prospectus.
g. The Acquired Fund has no known liabilities of a material nature,
contingent or otherwise, other than those shown on the Acquired Fund's
statement of assets and liabilities as of October 31, 1999 referred to
above and those incurred in the ordinary course of its business as an
investment company since such date. Prior to the Exchange Date, the
Acquired Fund will endeavor to quantify and to reflect on its balance sheet
all of its material known liabilities and will advise the Acquiring Fund of
all material liabilities, contingent or otherwise, incurred by it
subsequent to October 31, 1999, whether or not incurred in the ordinary
course of business.
h. As of the Exchange Date, the Acquired Fund will have filed all
federal and other tax returns and reports which, to the knowledge of
American General Series Portfolio Company 2's officers, are required to
have been filed by the Acquired Fund and has paid or will pay all federal
and other taxes shown to be due on said returns or on any assessments
received by the Acquired Fund. All tax liabilities of the Acquired Fund
have been adequately provided for on its books, and no tax deficiency or
liability of the Acquired Fund has been asserted, and no question with
respect thereto has been raised or is under audit, by the Internal Revenue
Service or by any state or local tax authority for taxes in excess of those
already paid.
i. At the Exchange Date, American General Series Portfolio Company 2, on
behalf of the Acquired Fund, will have full right, power and authority to
sell, assign, transfer and deliver the Investments (as defined below) and
any other assets and liabilities of the Acquired Fund to be transferred to
the Acquiring Fund pursuant to this Agreement. At the Exchange Date,
subject only to the delivery of the Investments and any such other assets
and liabilities as contemplated by this Agreement, the Acquiring Fund will
A-4
acquire the Investments and any such other assets and liabilities subject
to no encumbrances, liens or security interests whatsoever and without any
restrictions upon the transfer thereof, except as previously disclosed to
the Acquiring Fund. As used in this Agreement, the term "Investments" shall
mean the Acquired Fund's investments shown on the schedule of its
investments as of October 31, 1999 referred to in Section 2(c) hereof, as
supplemented with such changes in the portfolio as the Acquired Fund shall
make, and changes resulting from stock dividends, stock split-ups, mergers
and similar corporate actions, through the Exchange Date.
j. No registration under the 1933 Act of any of the Investments would be
required if the Investments were, as of the time of such transfer, the
subject of a public distribution by either the Acquiring Fund or the
Acquired Fund, except as previously disclosed to the Acquiring Fund by the
Acquired Fund.
k. No consent, approval, authorization or order of any court or
governmental authority is required for the consummation by the Acquired
Fund of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except such as may
be required under the 1933 Act, 1934 Act, the 1940 Act or state insurance,
securities or blue sky laws.
l. The Registration Statement and the Acquired Fund Proxy Statement, on
the effective date of the Registration Statement, (i) will comply in all
material respects with the provisions of the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act and the
1940 Act and the rules and regulations thereunder and (ii) will not contain
any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein
not misleading; and at the time of the shareholders meeting referred to in
Section 7(a) and on the Exchange Date, the Acquired Fund Proxy Statement
and the Registration Statement will not contain any untrue statement of a
material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading;
provided, however, that none of the representations and warranties in this
subsection shall apply to statements in or omissions from the Registration
Statement or the Acquired Fund Proxy Statement made in reliance upon and in
conformity with information furnished in writing by the Acquiring Fund to
the Acquired Fund or American General Series Portfolio Company 2
specifically for use in the Registration Statement or the Acquired Fund
Proxy Statement.
m. The Acquired Fund qualifies and will at all times through the
Exchange Date qualify for taxation as a "regulated investment company"
under Section 851 and 852 of the Code.
n. At the Exchange Date, the Acquired Fund will have sold such of its
assets, if any, as are necessary to assure that, after giving effect to the
acquisition of the assets of the Acquired Fund pursuant to this Agreement,
the Acquiring Fund will remain a "diversified company" within the meaning
of Section 5(b)(l) of the 1940 Act and in compliance with such other
mandatory investment restrictions as are set forth in the North American
Prospectus, as amended through the Exchange Date. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, nothing herein will require the Acquired Fund to dispose of any
assets if, in the reasonable judgment of the Acquired Fund, such
disposition would adversely affect the tax-free nature of the
reorganization or would violate the Acquired Fund's fiduciary duty to its

Portfolio Managers' Commentary
The International Equity Fund's Class A performance for the year-ended October
31, 1999 was 21.33% as compared to the Composite Index* return of 37.39% for
the same period.
International markets made good progress in the fourth quarter of 1998 as they
recovered from volatility in the third quarter. Central bank easings around
the world helped equities rebound. Although European stocks lagged the U.S.
during the quarter, they still posted a strong gain of 20.5%. Continued
optimism over corporate restructuring contributed to the strength of these
markets. Japan was up 5.1% for the quarter, in spite of a continued recession.
An injection of capital into the Japanese banking sector contributed to the
market's return. The emerging markets had a strong quarter, as stocks were
boosted by global interest rate cuts.
In the first quarter of 1999, the Fund's Japanese holdings fared particularly
well, as the market in this region outperformed all other stock markets
worldwide in February and March. Investors became more optimistic that
Japanese economic growth could resume, and corporate restructuring began to
proliferate. In Europe, investors continue to be concerned about slowing
economic activity and pressure on corporate profits, which have overshadowed
an upsurge in mergers and acquisitions. For the quarter, Europe lagged both
the U.S. and Japan. Emerging markets provided strong returns for the quarter,
marked by a recovery in Brazil.
In April, 1999, Morgan Stanley Asset Management took over management of the
Fund. For much of the second quarter, the Fund was defensively positioned and
the emphasis on Japan and Asia positively affected the Fund. Although European
economic growth was picking up, we were concerned about high valuation levels.
Thus we still preferred Asia and remained underweight in Europe.
For the past several months, global markets have churned on worries about
interest rates and central bank policies. However, the October release of the
moderate U.S. 3rd quarter economic growth numbers and a lower than expected
employment cost index increased the probability of a soft landing in the U.S.
This scenario has increased our confidence that global markets will be strong.
Japan and Asia are just emerging from devastating depression and bear markets,
and Europe is in the early stages of what could be a prolonged period of
growth. We believe EAFE is well positioned versus the S&P 500 not for months,
but for years.

Portfolio Manager's Commentary
Supported by optimism over interest rates and earnings, small-cap and
emerging-growth stocks had generally good showings in October, with the
Russell 2000 Growth and Russell 2500 Growth indexes up 2.56% and 4.87%,
respectively. North American Emerging Growth Fund had a gain of 7.02% for the
month, a solid return both in absolute terms and compared to those of its
benchmarks. The Emerging Growth Fund's Class A performance for the year-ended
October 31, 1999, was 44.26% as compared to the Russell 2000 Growth Index
return of 29.98% for the same period. Factors that helped the Fund included
its overweightings in the buoyant technology and communications areas.
In terms of general strategy, we remained focused on well-managed companies
offering innovative products and services. And with respect to major
investment themes, we continued to emphasize companies that stand to benefit
from a global push for enhanced productivity, as well as those standing to
benefit from a maturing and increasingly wealthy population. In this context,
our primary areas of concentration remained technology, communications,
business services, leisure & entertainment and health-care stocks.
The recent decline in smaller-cap and aggressive-growth stocks
notwithstanding, we see ample grounds for optimism regarding their longer-term
prospects. The main reason for our bullishness is the stocks' relative
valuations. By almost any relevant measure, smaller companies are selling
extremely cheaply vs. larger companies, trading at multiples well below their
20-year averages. Assuming that investors ultimately care about value - and
historically they have - smaller caps could see a material pickup in buying
interest at some point in the months ahead.
Adding to the stocks' potential appeal is these companies' relatively strong
earnings prospects. Analysts are currently calling for small-cap earnings
growth of roughly 12% in the third quarter, a healthy gain albeit a less-
robust one than that expected for larger companies. The fourth quarter looks
far better for smaller caps, though, both in relative and absolute terms, with
estimates calling for year-over-year growth of as much as 30%, vs. 20% or
thereabouts for larger companies. The medium- to longer-term outlook is
positive as well, with many analysts expecting smaller companies' earnings
growth to handily exceed that of larger companies over the next three to five
years. Assuming these projections, especially the longer-range ones, are
accurate (admittedly, a big assumption), they make small-cap stocks' current
low multiples that much more compelling.
A third factor that could spark and sustain interest in the group is the near
certainty of ongoing acquisition activity. Smaller companies have been gobbled
up by larger ones at a furious clip so far in 1999, with the total number of
deals for the year likely to be the highest in a decade. The effect on the
share prices of targeted firms has been, in most cases, considerable, and the
likelihood of continued such activity could, at some point, prove too strong a
lure for investors to continue to ignore.
Given the above, we remain positive on the asset class. Given a catalyst, such
as an easing of interest-rate concerns or a broadening of market leadership,
we think small caps could see their fortunes improve considerably, and in
fairly short order. In the meantime, we remain focused on identifying the most
promising companies, since we expect wide differences in share-price
performance between the ultimate winners and losers in the group.

Portfolio Manager's Commentary
Despite being invested primarily in small-cap and mid-cap stocks - which
vastly underperformed large-cap stocks during the recent fiscal year - the
Small/MidCap Fund posted solid results. The Small/Mid Cap Fund Class A posted
a return of 25.50%, slightly underperforming the Composite Index (Russell 2000
Growth/S&P 400) return of 25.47% for the same period, but easily outperforming
the S&P MidCap 400 Index return of 20.96%. A heavy technology weighting, a
growth stock orientation and the strong performance of a few key holdings
allowed the Fund to outperform the small-cap and mid-cap markets.
The fiscal year ended October 31, 1999 began in the midst of a dramatic
recovery from the July/August 1998 market correction caused by the Asian
financial crisis. The third of three interest rate cuts by the Fed took place
in November 1998, adding momentum to the market's revival. During the first
half of the year, large-cap stocks marched forward without a notable setback,
while their smaller counterparts struggled. All of the major large-cap indices
continuously set new highs, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average closed over
10,000 for the first time on March 29, 1999.
May and June saw consolidation and profit taking in the equity markets. An
ongoing fear of rising interest rates was realized on June 30 when the Fed
"took back" one of three previous interest rate cuts by hiking the Fed Funds
Rate to 5%. Nonetheless, the market shrugged off the rate hike and took solace
in the Fed's return to a "neutral bias." Large-cap stocks continued to rally,
and the S&P 500 reached an intra-day high of 1420.33 on July 19.
The fourth quarter of the recent fiscal year was marked by extreme market
volatility, an overall downward trend, and ultimately, a dramatic rebound. The
market slipped steadily downward from its mid-July peak and failed to match
its previous highs during August and September. In October, mounting fears of
rising interest rates, an upward spike in the price of gold and a series of
threatening economic reports forced the yield on the long bond to 6.40%.
Equity markets reacted strongly. The Dow Jones dropped more than 1,000 points
in less than a month, briefly dipping below the 10,000 level on October 18th.
As is so often the case, however, the market recovered when it appeared to be
at its weakest. As inflation jitters and interest rate fears subsided with the
release of benign economic data, the final two weeks of October saw dramatic
gains throughout both the bond and equity markets. The long bond once again
approached 6%, and the Dow Jones neared 11,000.
The stock market is seemingly in the midst of a strong recovery. Recently, out
of favor industries such as financials and pharmaceuticals have also begun to
act well. According to David Alger, regardless of whether the Fed raises rates
on November 16th, the market may continue to rally. If the Fed does raise
rates, it will be viewed as the last in a set of three. If it does not, that
will be considered bullish.

period. In December 1998, Thomas Arrington and Scott Chapman became co-
managers of the Fund.
While the first half of the year saw strong performance in mid- to large-cap
equities, the U.S. stock market experienced a summer pullback. This was driven
initially by investors' concern that the Federal Reserve would further raise
short-term interest rates, a fear that was realized in the form of August's
hikes in the Federal Funds and discount rates.
Specifically, the performance of the Fund during the second quarter was
adversely affected by a major shift in investor preference away from large-
cap, consistent growth companies toward economically sensitive companies. This
shift occurred primarily because the United States' economy grew faster than
expected while, at the same time, Asian economies appeared to be stabilizing.
Consequently, the Fund faced strong headwinds in the second quarter as
cyclical, mid-cap and small-cap stocks rebounded with a vengeance from their
multi-year performance dormancy and traders took profits in large cap growth
stocks. Traders became more confident of a robust economic outlook which gave
them courage to buy companies with less certain longer-term outlooks.
Despite the market shift during the quarter, the Fund remained true to its
investment discipline. We focus on companies that we believe have the
potential to deliver consistent earnings growth in all-weather economic
environments, not on companies that are inextricably tied to the health of the
economy. The Fund emphasizes a diversified portfolio of brand-name large- and
mid-capitalization growth companies with a demonstrated track record of
reliable earnings growth. In the third quarter, this focus led us to be
slightly overweight in the healthcare and technology sectors, positioning that
served the Fund well. The imperatives of consumers investing in Internet
access and companies investing in e-commerce capabilities also contributed to
the gains in the technology sector. Both stock selection and an overweight
position in the sector contributed to our performance.

Portfolio Manager's Commentary
The Growth and Income Fund's Class A performance for the year-ended October
31, 1999 was 23.11% as compared to the S&P 500 Stock Index return of 25.58%
for the same period. This performance compares favorably to the average growth
and income fund, as reported by Lipper Analytical Services, Inc., that climbed
17.55% over the same period. Fund performance was helped by select energy,
information technology, and industrial and commercial stocks and by being
underweight in finance and consumer discretionary stocks. Relative performance
was limited by select health care and consumer staples holdings.
At the start of the fiscal year investors were concerned with tightening
credit conditions sparked by the Russian default and the near collapse of a
highly leveraged bond hedge fund. Fearing deflation and a global bear market,
cautious investors created an upheaval in the capital markets. Investors
sought refuge in safer issues, particularly U.S. Treasury securities and
large, highly liquid stocks. Fortunately, the U.S. economy continued to
perform well allowing interest rate spreads (the difference between yields on
Treasury securities and bonds of lesser quality) to narrow from historically
wide gaps. In addition, Japan, the Pacific Rim area, most of Europe, and some
Latin America nations recovered or stabilized. Ratifying investor sentiment,
the Dow broke 10,000 for the first time in March.
Looking ahead, an accelerating world economy is central to our investment
outlook. We believe improving Japanese consumer confidence, a growth rebound
in much of Asia, greater stability in Latin America, a stronger Europe, and
slower, but solid growth in the U.S. should leave the world poised for growth.
We continue to believe that longer-term economic conditions for equities are
favorable. Despite the recent rise in energy prices, we expect inflation to
remain low. Technological innovation has boosted productivity and helped keep
inflation under wraps in the recent past. That trend should continue. While we
are anticipating moderating GDP growth, we would not be surprised by one or
two Federal Reserve rate hikes in the next six months. We are intrigued by
pending deregulation in the financial services industry and may see renewed
interest in the sector sparked by consolidation activity. While values appear
to be emerging in some sectors such as health care and finance, it may take
time for the overall market to establish a firm base from which to move
higher.

Portfolio Manager's Commentary
The Balanced Fund's Class A performance for the year-ended October 31, 1999,
was 1.20% as compared to the 50% S&P/50% Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index
return of 13.06% for the same period.
The Fund maintains the flexibility to strategically shift its composition to
take advantage of market conditions. In building the equity portion of the
Balanced Fund, we follow a growth philosophy, looking for those firms whose
fundamental strengths suggest the potential for consistent streams of
corporate earnings. To the extent that our research process does not identify
attractive equity opportunities, our exposure to bonds or cash may increase.
We continue to take a conservative approach to the Fund and have been closely
monitoring the number of stocks in the Fund. At the end of the third quarter,
approximately 48% of the Fund was invested in equities.
The Fund has carried a heavier weighting in bonds than the average balanced
fund because we have been concerned about the high absolute and relative
valuations the market currently awards many of the quality large-cap
companies.
We are confident in the equities we own and have taken larger positions in a
smaller number of names as a way of targeting those companies that we believe
offer the best opportunities for earnings growth. We believe that this
structure best positions the Balanced Fund in the current environment to
pursue income and capital appreciation.
We have been pleased with XL Capital Ltd. (4.51% of the Fund), a Bermuda-based
corporation that provides liability insurance coverage. XL Capital has a low
p/e, and its dividend looks secure. Analysts expect the pricing environment
for reinsurance companies to improve after prices hit relative lows, and we
believe XL Capital could benefit from this improved climate.
The Fund has been overweight vs. the S&P 500 Index in pharmaceuticals and
unfortunately, as a group, they have lagged the market. Pharmaceutical
companies are introducing many new products and generally have delivered on
their earnings. Although not inexpensive, this appears to be a sector of the
market that can grow into its current valuation. This sector has shown steady
earnings growth, and multiples are one-half or less than those of many
technology stocks. We continue to believe in the long-term fundamentals of our
drug holdings and will monitor their growth rates and valuations closely.
As we concentrate the number of stocks in the Fund, we've moved additional
assets into the Fund's fixed-income allocation. Since interest rates across
all durations of U.S. Treasury instruments have generally increased in 1999,
the value of bonds has dropped. Consequently, this portion of the Fund has
adversely affected performance on a year-to-date basis.

Portfolio Manager's Commentary
In a rather lackluster year for bonds, the Strategic Income Fund's Class A
returned 2.10% for the year ending October 31, 1999, as compared to the Lehman
Brothers Aggregate Bond Index return of 0.53% for the same time period.
The fiscal year began on a strong note as the Fund snapped back strongly in
November when it became apparent to investors that the financial market crisis
of the previous months was stabilizing. As investor confidence grew, a flight
to risk developed, causing spreads to narrow and prices to increase on
emerging market debt and high yield securities. Despite the rebound, the
Federal Reserve opted for a third 25 basis point rate cut during the Fund's
fiscal year at their November meeting.
After the first of the year, the U.S. bond market suffered as U.S. economic
growth remained surprisingly robust while Europe and Asia began to rebound
from the recession. Soaring oil prices and a rising CRB Index pushed bond
prices lower and yields higher. By the end of February, the yield on the 30-
year Treasury rose to 5.56%, the highest level in more than six months.
Corporates and mortgages outperformed Treasuries as investors looked to add
more yield to their portfolios. High yield bonds and emerging market debt
performed well through the second quarter. Strong domestic economic growth
continued through the third quarter heightening fears about the prospect of
higher inflation. The Federal Reserve took a proactive stance and began to
unwind the 75 basis point reduction of the previous fall with two subsequent
increases in the Federal Funds Rate. The Federal Funds Rate currently stands
at 5.25% and the Federal Reserve is likely to push it modestly higher over the
next few months.
In general, we expect continued financial market volatility from Y2K concerns
going forward, though we don't necessarily expect a major correction. In terms
of the bond market, we expect the next 12 months will bring significantly
higher returns than those witnessed thus far in 1999.
Our view is that the Federal Reserve has engineered a nice balance between
strong economic growth and low inflation and that any further rise in bond
yields will be modest. Those factors, coupled with strong expected company
earnings, should provide a favorable environment for the Fund.

Portfolio Manager's Commentary
The Investment Quality Bond Fund's Class A performance for the year-ended
October 31, 1999 was -1.08% as compared to -0.30% for the Composite Index
comprised of Lehman Government Bond Index and Lehman Corporate Bond Index.
The past fiscal year was difficult for fixed income investors. Yields
increased approximately 1.5% across the maturity spectrum. Particularly hard
hit (based on yield changes) were bonds with two to ten years until maturity.
The year began with turmoil in the credit markets due to the Russian default
and the near collapse of a large fixed income hedge fund. Investors worldwide
were anxious about holding anything but US Treasury securities. This flight to
quality expanded the yield gap (spread) between US Treasuries and bonds of
lesser quality to an uncharacteristically wide margin, given the strong
economic environment. The yield spread has contracted somewhat since then, but
is still larger than usual.
In addition to US Treasuries, the Fund may hold corporate bonds, mortgage
securities, and high yield issues. We took advantage of the lower prices and
higher yields of non-Treasury debt because we felt these bonds would
eventually return to favor once investors realized the world was not headed
toward a depression. Currently, we are sticking with our above-index
allocations of these securities. We do not know where yield spreads will be
one month or so from now, particularly with the Y2K wildcard thrown in.
However, looking into next year, it is highly unlikely that spreads will stay
as wide as they currently are. Fundamentals, such as strong interest coverage
and a growing economy, favor corporate bonds, while mortgages benefit from low
volatility and diminished refinancings.
The Treasury yield curve is priced to reflect a view that inflation is more
likely to go up than down, and that economic growth is a bit stronger than the
Fed would like. Over the next year, we believe growth will be lower, but
inflation higher, and without knowing which one will lead the way, we are not
betting that interest rates will move significantly one way or the other from
their current levels.

Portfolio Manager's Commentary
The National Municipal Bond Fund's Class A performance for the year-ended
October 31, 1999 was -2.95% as compared to the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond
Index return of -1.78% for the same period.
During the last three months of 1998 investor confidence grew following a 25
basis points decrease in the Federal Funds rate in October. This move injected
stability into an unstable market. As a result a flight to risk emerged,
causing credit spreads to narrow and prices to increase on emerging markets'
debt and high yield securities. Despite the rallies, the Fed opted to take out
additional insurance against inflation concerns in the form of another 25
basis point rate cut at its November 1998 meeting.
Most fixed income securities achieved modest returns during the month of
December as another large upturn in the equity markets captured greater
investor attention. Municipal bonds began the year on a positive note.
After closing 1998 at near record issuance levels, state and local governments
borrowed just $13.8 billion of new debt during January 1999. That represents a
24% decrease over the same period last year. This lower than expected
municipal new issue calendar, coupled with an influx of cash from January 1st
maturities and coupon payments, created a favorable environment for municipal
bonds as demand outpaced supply. The imbalance enabled tax-exempts to smartly
outperform Treasuries in January. Tax-exempts continued to benefit from the
continued decline in new issue volume that enabled them to outperform
Treasuries for the first three months of the year. The next three months were
characterized by higher interest rates, highlighted by an increase in the Fed
Funds Rate 25 basis points to 5.00% at the conclusion of the June 30th FOMC
meeting. Prices for tax-exempts retreated during the quarter as a lack of
support from institutional buyers caused municipal dealers' inventories to
swell. July was the largest bond redemption month of the year with nearly $25
billion redeemed, which lent support to a manageable municipal new issue
calendar. The specter of impending increases in short-term interest rates by
the Fed unsettled the fixed income markets during the four months ending
October 31st. The Fed did raise the federal funds rate 25 basis points to
5.25% during August.
At its meeting on October 5, 1999, the Fed adopted a bias toward the future
possibility of raising interest rates. This resulted in a sell-off in the
fixed income markets, which continued through the first several weeks of
October. The market, however, was able to pare some of those losses during the
last week of the month. The catalyst for the bounce back was data displaying
strong economic growth with little threat of inflation. Prices for municipal
bonds were lower during the four-month period ending October, but setbacks
were not as pronounced as those were in Treasuries. A notable exception was
tax-exempt bonds that mature beyond twenty years, where losses where magnified
due to continued lack of sponsorship from institutional buyers. Individual
investors remained a constant in the marketplace due to high nominal yields
and the relative attractiveness of tax-exempts as compared to Treasuries.

Notes to Pro Forma Combined Financial Statements of Merger Between
North American Large Cap Growth Fund and
American General Series Portfolio Company 2 Large Cap Growth Fund
October 31, 1999 (unaudited)
1. Basis Of Combination
North American Large Cap Growth Fund ("NAF") (formerly the North American Growth
Equity Fund) is a series of North American Funds, a Massachusetts business
trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a
diversified, open-end management investment company. The pro-forma combined
financial statements reflect the pro-forma combined financial position of the
proposed acquisition of American General Series Portfolio Company 2 Large Cap
Growth Fund ("AGSPC2") by NAF as if such acquisition had taken place as of
October 31, 1999, and the pro-forma combined results of operations for the year
ended October 31, 1999 as though the reorganization had occurred as of November
1, 1998.
The pro-forma statements give effect to the proposed transfer of the assets and
stated liabilities of AGSPC2 in exchange for shares of NAF at net asset value.
Under generally accepted accounting principles, the historical cost of
investment securities will be carried forward to the surviving entity and the
results of operations of NAF for pre-combination periods will not be restated.
The pro-forma combined financial statements do not reflect the expenses of
either fund in carrying out its obligation under the proposed Agreement and Plan
of Reorganization.
The pro forma financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
historical financial statements and schedules of investments of AGSPC2 and NAF
which are incorporated by reference in the Statement of Additional Information.
2. Pro-Forma Combined Portfolio of Investments
Securities held by the two funds have been combined in the accompanying Combined
Portfolio of Investments. Securities are valued using the pricing procedures and
policies of the respective Acquiring Fund or Acquired Fund, as applicable. For
more information, see the North American Funds Annual Reports or the American
General Series Portfolio Company 2 Annual Reports. Historical cost amounts
represent the combined cost basis of the securities.
3. Pro Forma Combined Statements of Assets and Liabilities
Shares outstanding have been adjusted to reflect the conversion of AGSPC2 shares
into NAF shares based upon the net asset value of the NAF shares at October 31,
1999.
4. Pro Forma Operations
Pro forma operating expenses include the actual expenses of each fund and the
combined fund, with certain expenses adjusted to reflect the expenses of the
combined entity. The investment adviser fee and distribution fees have been
calculated for the combined fund based on the contractual rates expected to be
in effect for NAF at the time of the Reorganization at the combined level of
average net assets for the twelve month period ended October 31, 1999.

Notes to Pro Forma Combined Financial Statements of Merger Between
North American Mid Cap Growth Fund and
American General Series Portfolio Company 2 Mid Cap Growth Fund
October 31, 1999 (unaudited)
1. Basis Of Combination
North American Mid Cap Growth Fund ("NAF") (formerly the North American
Small/Mid Cap Fund) is a series of North American Funds, a Massachusetts
business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended,
as a diversified, open-end management investment company. The pro-forma combined
financial statements reflect the pro-forma combined financial position of the
proposed acquisition of American General Series Portfolio Company 2 Mid Cap
Growth Fund ("AGSPC2") by NAF as if such acquisition had taken place as of
October 31, 1999, and the pro-forma combined results of operations for the year
ended October 31, 1999 as though the reorganization had occurred as of November
1, 1998.
The pro-forma statements give effect to the proposed transfer of the assets and
stated liabilities of AGSPC2 in exchange for shares of NAF at net asset value.
Under generally accepted accounting principles, the historical cost of
investment securities will be carried forward to the surviving entity and the
results of operations of NAF for pre-combination periods will not be restated.
The pro-forma combined financial statements do not reflect the expenses of
either fund in carrying out its obligation under the proposed Agreement and Plan
of Reorganization.
The pro forma financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
historical financial statements and schedules of investments of AGSPC2 and NAF
which are incorporated by reference in the Statement of Additional Information.
2. Pro-Forma Combined Portfolio of Investments
Securities held by the two funds have been combined in the accompanying Combined
Portfolio of Investments. Securities are valued using the pricing procedures and
policies of the respective Acquiring Fund or Acquired Fund, as applicable. For
more information, see the North American Funds Annual Reports or the American
General Series Portfolio Company 2 Annual Reports. Historical cost amounts
represent the combined cost basis of the securities.
3. Pro Forma Combined Statements of Assets and Liabilities
Shares outstanding have been adjusted to reflect the conversion of AGSPC2 shares
into NAF shares based upon the net asset value of the NAF shares at October 31,
1999.
4. Pro Forma Operations
Pro forma operating expenses include the actual expenses of each fund and the
combined fund, with certain expenses adjusted to reflect the expenses of the
combined entity. The investment adviser fee and distribution fees have been
calculated for the combined fund based on the contractual rates expected to be
in effect for NAF at the time of the Reorganization at the combined level of
average net assets for the twelve month period ended October 31, 1999.

Notes to Pro Forma Combined Financial Statements of Merger Between
North American Small Cap Growth Fund and
American General Series Portfolio Company 2 Small Cap Growth Fund
October 31, 1999 (unaudited)
1. Basis Of Combination
North American Small Cap Growth Fund ("NAF") (formerly the North American
Emerging Growth Fund) is a series of North American Funds, a Massachusetts
business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended,
as a non-diversified, open-end management investment company. The pro-forma
combined financial statements reflect the pro-forma combined financial position
of the proposed acquisition of American General Series Portfolio Company 2 Small
Cap Growth Fund ("AGSPC2") by NAF as if such acquisition had taken place as of
October 31, 1999, and the pro-forma combined results of operations for the year
ended October 31, 1999 as though the reorganization had occurred as of November
1, 1998.
The pro-forma statements give effect to the proposed transfer of the assets and
stated liabilities of AGSPC2 in exchange for shares of NAF at net asset value.
Under generally accepted accounting principles, the historical cost of
investment securities will be carried forward to the surviving entity and the
results of operations of NAF for pre-combination periods will not be restated.
The pro-forma combined financial statements do not reflect the expenses of
either fund in carrying out its obligation under the proposed Agreement and Plan
of Reorganization.
The pro forma financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
historical financial statements and schedules of investments of AGSPC2 and NAF
which are incorporated by reference in the Statement of Additional Information.
2. Pro-Forma Combined Portfolio of Investments
Securities held by the two funds have been combined in the accompanying Combined
Portfolio of Investments. Securities are valued using the pricing procedures and
policies of the respective Acquiring Fund or Acquired Fund, as applicable. For
more information, see the North American Funds Annual Reports or the American
General Series Portfolio Company 2 Annual Reports. Historical cost amounts
represent the combined cost basis of the securities.
3. Pro Forma Combined Statements of Assets and Liabilities
Shares outstanding have been adjusted to reflect the conversion of AGSPC2 shares
into NAF shares based upon the net asset value of the NAF shares at October 31,
1999.
4. Pro Forma Operations
Pro forma operating expenses include the actual expenses of each fund and the
combined fund, with certain expenses adjusted to reflect the expenses of the
combined entity. The investment adviser fee and distribution fees have been
calculated for the combined fund based on the contractual rates expected to be
in effect for NAF at the time of the Reorganization at the combined level of
average net assets for the twelve month period ended October 31, 1999.

Notes to Pro Forma Combined Financial Statements of Merger Between
North American Balanced Fund and
American General Series Portfolio Company 2 Balanced Fund
October 31, 1999 (unaudited)
1. Basis Of Combination
North American Balanced Fund ("NAF") is a series of North American Funds, a
Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended, as a diversified, open-end management investment company. The
pro-forma combined financial statements reflect the pro-forma combined financial
position of the proposed acquisition of American General Series Portfolio
Company 2 Balanced Fund ("AGSPC2") by NAF as if such acquisition had taken place
as of October 31, 1999, and the pro-forma combined results of operations for the
year ended October 31, 1999 as though the reorganization had occurred as of
November 1, 1998.
The pro-forma statements give effect to the proposed transfer of the assets and
stated liabilities of AGSPC2 in exchange for shares of NAF at net asset value.
Under generally accepted accounting principles, the historical cost of
investment securities will be carried forward to the surviving entity and the
results of operations of NAF for pre-combination periods will not be restated.
The pro-forma combined financial statements do not reflect the expenses of
either fund in carrying out its obligation under the proposed Agreement and Plan
of Reorganization.
The pro forma financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
historical financial statements and schedules of investments of AGSPC2 and NAF
which are incorporated by reference in the Statement of Additional Information.
2. Pro-Forma Combined Portfolio of Investments
Securities held by the two funds have been combined in the accompanying Combined
Portfolio of Investments. Securities are valued using the pricing procedures and
policies of the respective Acquiring Fund or Acquired Fund, as applicable. For
more information, see the North American Funds Annual Reports or the American
General Series Portfolio Company 2 Annual Reports. Historical cost amounts
represent the combined cost basis of the securities.
3. Pro Forma Combined Statements of Assets and Liabilities
Shares outstanding have been adjusted to reflect the conversion of AGSPC2 shares
into NAF shares based upon the net asset value of the NAF shares at October 31,
1999.
4. Pro Forma Operations
Pro forma operating expenses include the actual expenses of each fund and the
combined fund, with certain expenses adjusted to reflect the expenses of the
combined entity. The investment adviser fee and distribution fees have been
calculated for the combined fund based on the contractual rates expected to be
in effect for NAF at the time of the Reorganization at the combined level of
average net assets for the twelve month period ended October 31, 1999.

Notes to Pro Forma Combined Financial Statements of Merger Between
North American International Equity Fund,
American General Series Portfolio Company 2 International Growth Fund and
American General Series Portfolio Company 2 International Value Fund
October 31, 1999 (unaudited)
1. Basis Of Combination
North American International Equity Fund ("NAF") is a series of North American
Funds, a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company
Act of 1940, as amended, as a diversified, open-end management investment
company. The pro-forma combined financial statements reflect the pro-forma
combined financial position of the proposed acquisition of American General
Series Portfolio Company 2 International Growth Fund ("AGSPC2 Growth"), and
American General Series Portfolio Company 2 International Value Fund ("AGSPC2
Value") by NAF as if such acquisition had taken place as of October 31, 1999,
and the pro-forma combined results of operations for the year ended October 31,
1999 as though the reorganization had occurred as of November 1, 1998.
The pro-forma statements give effect to the proposed transfer of the assets and
stated liabilities of AGSPC2 Growth and AGSPC2 Value in exchange for shares of
NAF at net asset value. Under generally accepted accounting principles, the
historical cost of investment securities will be carried forward to the
surviving entity and the results of operations of NAF for pre-combination
periods will not be restated. The pro-forma combined financial statements do not
reflect the expenses of either fund in carrying out its obligation under the
proposed Agreement and Plan of Reorganization.
The pro forma financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
historical financial statements and schedules of investments of AGSPC2 Growth,
AGSPC2 Value and NAF which are incorporated by reference in the Statement of
Additional Information.
2. Pro-Forma Combined Portfolio of Investments
Securities held by the two funds have been combined in the accompanying Combined
Portfolio of Investments. Securities are valued using the pricing procedures and

Notes to Pro Forma Combined Financial Statements of Merger Between
North American Core Bond Fund and
American General Series Portfolio Company 2 Core Bond Fund
October 31, 1999 (unaudited)
1. Basis Of Combination
North American Core Bond Fund ("NAF") (formerly the North American Investment
Quality Bond Fund) is a series of North American Funds, a Massachusetts business
trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a
diversified, open-end management investment company. The pro-forma combined
financial statements reflect the pro-forma combined financial position of the
proposed acquisition of American General Series Portfolio Company 2 Core Bond
Fund ("AGSPC2") by NAF as if such acquisition had taken place as of October 31,
1999, and the pro-forma combined results of operations for the year ended
October 31, 1999 as though the reorganization had occurred as of November 1,
1998.
The pro-forma statements give effect to the proposed transfer of the assets and
stated liabilities of AGSPC2 in exchange for shares of NAF at net asset value.
Under generally accepted accounting principles, the historical cost of
investment securities will be carried forward to the surviving entity and the
results of operations of NAF for pre-combination periods will not be restated.
The pro-forma combined financial statements do not reflect the expenses of
either fund in carrying out its obligation under the proposed Agreement and Plan
of Reorganization.
The pro forma financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
historical financial statements and schedules of investments of AGSPC2 and NAF
which are incorporated by reference in the Statement of Additional Information.
2. Pro-Forma Combined Portfolio of Investments
Securities held by the two funds have been combined in the accompanying Combined
Portfolio of Investments. Securities are valued using the pricing procedures and
policies of the respective Acquiring Fund or Acquired Fund, as applicable. For
more information, see the North American Funds Annual Reports or the American
General Series Portfolio Company 2 Annual Reports. Historical cost amounts
represent the combined cost basis of the securities.
3. Pro Forma Combined Statements of Assets and Liabilities
Shares outstanding have been adjusted to reflect the conversion of AGSPC2 shares
into NAF shares based upon the net asset value of the NAF shares at October 31,
1999.
4. Pro Forma Operations
Pro forma operating expenses include the actual expenses of each fund and the
combined fund, with certain expenses adjusted to reflect the expenses of the
combined entity. The investment adviser fee and distribution fees have been
calculated for the combined fund based on the contractual rates expected to be
in effect for NAF at the time of the Reorganization at the combined level of
average net assets for the twelve month period ended October 31, 1999.

Notes to Pro Forma Combined Financial Statements of Merger Between
North American Strategic Income Fund and
American General Series Portfolio Company 2 Strategic Bond Fund
October 31, 1999 (unaudited)
1. Basis Of Combination
North American Strategic Income Fund ("NAF") is a series of North American
Funds, a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company
Act of 1940, as amended, as a diversified, open-end management investment
company. The pro-forma combined financial statements reflect the pro-forma
combined financial position of the proposed acquisition of American General
Series Portfolio Company 2 Strategic Bond Fund ("AGSPC2") by NAF as if such
acquisition had taken place as of October 31, 1999, and the pro-forma combined
results of operations for the year ended October 31, 1999 as though the
reorganization had occurred as of November 1, 1998.
Under the terms of the Plan of Reorganization, the combination of NAF and AGSPC2
will be taxed as a tax-free business combination and accordingly will be
accounted for by a method of accounting for tax free mergers of investment
companies (sometimes referred to as the pooling without restatement method). The
acquisition would be accomplished by an acquisition of the net assets of AGSPC2
in exchange for shares of NAF at net asset value. Under generally accepted
accounting principles, the historical cost of investment securities will be
carried forward to the surviving entity and the results of operations of NAF for
pre-combination periods will not be restated. The pro-forma combined financial
statements do not reflect the expenses of either fund in carrying out its
obligation under the proposed Agreement and Plan of Reorganization.
The pro forma financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
financial statements and schedules of investments of AGSPC2 and NAF which are
included in their respective annual reports dated October 31, 1999.
2. Pro-Forma Combined Portfolio of Investments
Securities held by the two funds have been combined in the accompanying Combined
Portfolio of Investments. Securities are valued using the pricing procedures and
policies of the respective Acquiring Fund or Acquired Fund, as applicable. For
more information, see the North American Funds Annual Reports or the American
General Series Portfolio Company 2 Annual Reports. Historical cost amounts
represent the combined cost basis of the securities.
3. Pro Forma Combined Statements of Assets and Liabilities
Shares outstanding have been adjusted to reflect the conversion of AGSPC2 shares
into NAF shares based upon the net asset value of the NAF shares at October 31,
1999.
4. Pro Forma Operations
Pro forma operating expenses include the actual expenses of each fund and the
combined fund, with certain expenses adjusted to reflect the expenses of the
combined entity. The investment adviser fee and distribution fees have been
calculated for the combined fund based on the contractual rates expected to be
in effect for NAF at the time of the Reorganization at the combined level of
average net assets for the twelve month period ended October 31, 1999.

Notes to Pro Forma Combined Financial Statements of Merger Between
North American Municipal Bond Fund and
American General Series Portfolio Company 2 Municipal Bond Fund
October 31, 1999 (unaudited)
1. Basis Of Combination
North American Municipal Bond Fund ("NAF") (formerly the North American National
Municipal Bond Fund) is a series of North American funds, a Massachusetts
business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended,
as a diversified, open-end management investment company. The pro-forma combined
financial statements reflect the pro-forma combined financial position of the
proposed acquisition of American General Series Portfolio Company 2 Municipal
Bond Fund ("AGSPC2") by NAF as if such acquisition had taken place as of October
31, 1999, and the pro-forma combined results of operations for the year ended
October 31, 1999 as though the reorganization had occurred as of November 1,
1998.
The pro-forma statements give effect to the proposed transfer of the assets and
stated liabilities of AGSPC2 in exchange for shares of NAF at net asset value.
Under generally accepted accounting principles, the historical cost of
investment securities will be carried forward to the surviving entity and the
results of operations of NAF for pre-combination periods will not be restated.
The pro-forma combined financial statements do not reflect the expenses of
either fund in carrying out its obligation under the proposed Agreement and Plan
of Reorganization.
The pro forma financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
historical financial statements and schedules of investments of AGSPC2 and NAF
which are incorporated by reference in the Statement of Additional Information.
2. Pro-Forma Combined Portfolio of Investments
Securities held by the two funds have been combined in the accompanying Combined
Portfolio of Investments. Securities are valued using the pricing procedures and
policies of the respective Acquiring Fund or Acquired Fund, as applicable. For
more information, see the North American Funds Annual Reports or the American
General Series Portfolio Company 2 Annual Reports. Historical cost amounts
represent the combined cost basis of the securities.
3. Pro Forma Combined Statements of Assets and Liabilities
Shares outstanding have been adjusted to reflect the conversion of AGSPC2 shares
into NAF shares based upon the net asset value of the NAF shares at October 31,
1999.
4. Pro Forma Operations
Pro forma operating expenses include the actual expenses of each fund and the
combined fund, with certain expenses adjusted to reflect the expenses of the
combined entity. The investment adviser fee and distribution fees have been
calculated for the combined fund based on the contractual rates expected to be
in effect for NAF at the time of the Reorganization at the combined level of
average net assets for the twelve month period ended October 31, 1999.

American General Series Portfolio Company 2 Money Market Fund
October 31, 1999 (unaudited)
1. Basis Of Combination
North American Money Market Fund ("NAF") is a series of North American Funds, a
Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended, as a diversified, open-end management investment company. The
pro-forma combined financial statements reflect the pro-forma combined financial
position of the proposed acquisition of American General Series Portfolio
Company 2 Money Market Fund ("AGSPC2") by NAF as if such acquisition had taken
place as of October 31, 1999, and the pro-forma combined results of operations
for the year ended October 31, 1999 as though the reorganization had occurred as
of November 1, 1998.
The pro-forma statements give effect to the proposed transfer of the assets and
stated liabilities of AGSPC2 in exchange for shares of NAF at net asset value.
Under generally accepted accounting principles, the historical cost of
investment securities will be carried forward to the surviving entity and the
results of operations of NAF for pre-combination periods will not be restated.
The pro-forma combined financial statements do not reflect the expenses of
either fund in carrying out its obligation under the proposed Agreement and Plan
of Reorganization.
The pro forma financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
historical financial statements and schedules of investments of AGSPC2 and NAF
which are incorporated by reference in the Statement of Additional Information.
2. Pro-Forma Combined Portfolio of Investments
Securities held by the two funds have been combined in the accompanying Combined
Portfolio of Investments. Securities are valued using the pricing procedures and
policies of the respective Acquiring Fund or Acquired Fund, as applicable. For
more information, see the North American Funds Annual Reports or the American
General Series Portfolio Company 2 Annual Reports. Historical cost amounts
represent the combined cost basis of the securities.
3. Pro Forma Combined Statements of Assets and Liabilities
Shares outstanding have been adjusted to reflect the conversion of AGSPC2 shares
into NAF shares based upon the net asset value of the NAF shares at October 31,
1999.
4. Pro Forma Operations
Pro forma operating expenses include the actual expenses of each fund and the
combined fund, with certain expenses adjusted to reflect the expenses of the
combined entity. The investment adviser fee and distribution fees have been
calculated for the combined fund based on the contractual rates expected to be
in effect for NAF at the time of the Reorganization at the combined level of
average net assets for the twelve month period ended October 31, 1999.

OTHER INFORMATION
Item 15. Indemnification
Incorporated by reference to Post-Effective Amendment No. 31 to the
Registrant's Registration Statement Form N-1A (filed on March 2, 2000)
(Registration Nos. 33-27958 and 811-5797).
Insofar as indemnification for liability arising under the Securities Act of
1933 (the "Act") may be permitted to Trustees, officers and controlling persons
of the Registrant, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public
policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event
that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the
payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a Trustee, officer or
controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action,
suit or proceeding) is asserted by such Trustee, officer or controlling person
in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless
in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and
will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
