JUNE 30, 2016 SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT
SHAREHOLDERS' LETTER -- (unaudited)
Dear Shareholders:
We are pleased to present this semi-annual report for the SunAmerica Senior
Floating Rate Fund, Inc. (the "Fund") for the six months ended June 30, 2016.
The semi-annual period was a volatile one for the fixed income markets as it
was for most other asset classes as well. Early in the first calendar quarter
of 2016, falling oil prices, concerns about slowing economic growth in China
and questions about the efficacy of central bank monetary policies sparked a
broad sell-off in credit markets, while government bond prices benefited from
their higher-quality ratings. Markets reversed course in mid-February 2016, as
the major central banks around the world adopted more dovish stances in an
effort to ease market risk (A dovish stance tends to suggest lower interest
rates). Included in this dovish positioning was the U.S. Federal Reserve (the
"Fed"), which refrained from raising interest rates at its March meeting and
pared back its forecasts for interest rate increases in 2016 from four to two
citing global uncertainties. A rebound in crude oil prices further supported
the rally in global financial markets. For the first quarter of 2016 overall,
global government bond yields fell sharply, while non-government bond sectors
posted positive absolute returns, even though performance was mixed on a
relative basis.
Accommodative global monetary policy, constructive oil and commodity prices and
near-term stabilization in China supported equity markets and spread sectors as
the second quarter of 2016 began. Most developed market government bond yields
ended the month of April higher, as the global rally across equities and
commodities reduced demand for high quality government debt. The exception was
in Japan, where yields fell. In May 2016, hawkish Fed minutes, record corporate
issuance and an unexpected interest rate cut by the Reserve Bank of Australia
were the major driving forces of fixed income market performance (Hawkish
language tends to suggest higher interest rates; opposite of dovish). Most
central banks left policy rates unchanged during the month. In turn, most
developed market yields ended May 2016 lower, with the exception of the U.S.,
where yields increased. Having performed strongly in the previous two months,
global credit markets took a breather in May, with spreads widening modestly.
Despite hawkish Fed rhetoric in May, a weak U.S. payroll report in early June
and growing uncertainty over Brexit started to unwind some of those
expectations. The Fed chose to err on the side of caution by holding rates
steady at its June meeting amid lingering uncertainty about the strength of the
global economy as well as the reluctance to hike ahead of the EU referendum
vote in the UK. In June 2016, Britain's decision to leave the European Union
led to a spike in global financial market volatility and a shift toward assets
considered to be less risky. Most global government bond yields declined and
credit spreads widened.
Against this backdrop, floating rate loans, as represented by the S&P/LSTA
Leveraged Loan Index/*/, returned 4.51% during the six month period ended June
30, 2016, modestly underperforming the broad U.S. fixed income market. The
Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index/*/ returned 5.31% for the same time period.
The first quarter of 2016 saw the leveraged loan sector's best quarterly return
since the first quarter of 2015, attributable almost entirely to March 2016
performance, and the second quarter of 2016 saw even stronger returns.
The pace of bank loan mutual fund outflows slowed over the semi-annual period,
with outflows of US$8.1 billion during the first half of the year, compared to
US$22.2 billion in calendar year 2015./**/ Over the first half of 2016,
supply/demand trends were mixed. While below-average issuance reduced supply,
the Fed's more gradual path to normalizing monetary policy along with lower
issuance of collateralized loan obligations ("CLOs"), one of the main sources
of demand for bank loans, during the semi-annual period curbed demand somewhat.
Although CLO demand has picked up, it remained below 2015's pace.+ Overall, we
believe the asset class has many long term potential benefits, including
diversification and floating-rate coupons, that will eventually reassert
themselves to enhance the relative appeal of bank loans for investors.
On the following pages, you will find financial statements and portfolio
information for the Fund for the semi-annual period ended June 30, 2016.

*The S&P/LSTA LEVERAGED LOAN INDEX (LLI) reflects the market-weighted
performance of U.S. dollar-denominated institutional leveraged loan portfolios.
The LLI is the only domestic leveraged loan index that utilizes real-time
market weightings, spreads and interest payments. The BARCLAYS U.S. AGGREGATE
BOND INDEX represents securities that are U.S. domestic, taxable and dollar
denominated. The index covers components for government and corporate
securities, mortgage pass-through securities and asset-backed securities.

The Fund is not a money market fund and its net asset value may fluctuate.
Investments in loans involve certain risks including nonpayment of principal
and interest; collateral impairment; non-diversification and borrower industry
concentration; and lack of an active trading market, in certain cases, which
may impair the Fund's ability to obtain full value for loans sold. The Fund may
invest all or substantially all of its assets in loans or other securities
(e.g., unsecured loans or high yield securities) that are rated below
investment grade, or in comparable unrated securities. Credit risks include the
possibility of a default on the loan or bankruptcy of the borrower. The value
of these loans is subject to a greater degree of volatility in response to
interest rate fluctuations.

EXPENSE EXAMPLE -- JUNE 30, 2016 -- (UNAUDITED)
DISCLOSURE OF PORTFOLIO EXPENSES IN SHAREHOLDER REPORTS
As a shareholder of the SunAmerica Senior Floating Rate Fund, Inc. (the
"Fund"), you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including
sales charges on purchase payments and contingent deferred sales charges and
(2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and account
maintenance fees, and other Fund expenses. The example set forth below is
intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in
the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in
other mutual funds. The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at
January 1, 2016 and held until June 30, 2016.
ACTUAL EXPENSES
The "Actual" section of the table provides information about actual account
values and actual expenses. You may use the information in these columns,
together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid
over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an
$8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the
number in the column under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During the Six
Months Ended June 30, 2016" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account
during this period. The "Expenses Paid During the Six Months Ended June 30,
2016" column and the "Annualized Expense Ratio" column do not include small
account fees that may be charged if your account balance is below $500 ($250
for retirement plan accounts). In addition, the "Expenses Paid During the Six
Months Ended June 30, 2016" column and the "Annualized Expense Ratio" column do
not include administrative or other fees that may apply to qualified retirement
plan accounts and accounts held through financial institutions. See the Fund's
prospectus, your retirement plan documents and/or materials from your financial
adviser, for a full description of these fees. Had these fees been included,
the "Expenses Paid During the Six Months Ended June 30, 2016" column would have
been higher and the "Ending Account Value" column would have been lower.
HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES
The "Hypothetical" section of the table provides information about hypothetical
account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense
ratio and an annual rate of return of 5% before expenses, which is not the
Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be
used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the
period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing
in this Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example
with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of
other funds. The "Expenses Paid During the Six Months Ended June 30, 2016"
column and the "Annualized Expense Ratio" column do not include small account
fees that may be charged if your account balance is below $500 ($250 for
retirement plan accounts). In addition, the "Expenses Paid During the Six
Months Ended June 30, 2016" column and the "Annualized Expense Ratio" column do
not include administrative or other fees that may apply to qualified retirement
plan accounts and accounts held through financial institutions. See the Fund's
prospectus, your retirement plan document and/or materials from your financial
adviser for full description of these fees. Had these fees been included, the
"Expenses Paid During the Six Months Ended June 30, 2016" column would have
been higher and the "Ending Account Value" column would have been lower.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your
ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, including sales
charges on purchase payments, contingent deferred sales charges and
administrative fees, if applicable to your account. Please refer to the Fund's
prospectus, qualified retirement plan document and/or materials from your
financial adviser, for more information. Therefore, the "Hypothetical" example
is useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the
relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these
transaction costs and other fees were included, your costs would have been
higher.

contingent deferred sales charges, small account fees and administrative
fees, if applicable to your account. Please refer to your Prospectus, your
qualified retirement plan document and/or materials from your financial

# During the stated period, the investment adviser either waived a portion of
or all of the fees and assumed a portion of or all expenses for the Fund. As
a result, if these fees and expenses had not been waived or assumed, the
"Actual/Hypothetical Ending Account Value" would have been lower and the
"Actual/Hypothetical Expenses Paid During the Six Months Ended June 30,
2016" and the "Annualized Expense Ratio" would have been higher.

* Securities exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act
of 1933. These securities may be sold in transactions exempt from
registration, normally to qualified institutional buyers. The Fund has no
rights to demand registration of these securities. At June 30, 2016, the
aggregate value of these securities was $15,262,299, representing 5.8% of
net assets. Unless otherwise indicated, these securities are not
considered to be illiquid.
(1) Bank loans rated below Baa by Moody's Investor Service, Inc. or BBB by
Standard & Poor's Group are considered below investment grade. Ratings
provided are as of June 30, 2016.
(2) Based on the stated maturity, the weighted average to maturity of the
loans held in the portfolio is approximately 61 months. Loans in the
Fund's portfolio are generally subject to mandatory and/or optional
prepayment. Because of these mandatory prepayment conditions and because
there may be significant economic incentives for a Borrower to prepay,
prepayments may occur. As a result, the actual remaining maturity may be
substantially less than the stated maturities shown.
(3) The Fund invests in senior loans which generally pay interest at rates
which are periodically re-determined by reference to a base lending rate
plus a premium. These base lending rates are generally either the lending
rate offered by one or more major European banks, such as the London
Inter-Bank Offer Rate ("LIBOR") or the prime rate offered by one or more
major United States banks, or the certificate of deposit rate. Senior
loans are generally considered to be restrictive in that the Fund is
ordinarily contractually obligated to receive approval from the Agent Bank
and/or borrower prior to the disposition of a senior loan.
(4) All loans in the portfolio were purchased through assignment agreements
unless otherwise indicated.
(5) Illiquid security. At June 30, 2016, the aggregate value of these
securities was $12,881,945, representing 4.9% of net assets.

exemption from registration, under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the "1933 Act"); (b) is subject to a contractual restriction on public
sales; or (c) is otherwise subject to a restriction on sales by operation
of applicable law. Restricted securities are valued pursuant to Note 2.
Certain restricted securities held by the Fund may not be sold except in
exempt transactions or in a public offering registered under the 1933 Act.
The Fund has no right to demand registration of these securities. The risk
of investing in certain restricted securities is greater than the risk of
investing in the securities of widely held, publicly traded companies. To
the extent applicable, lack of a secondary market and resale restrictions
may result in the inability of a Fund to sell a security at a fair price
and may substantially delay the sale of the security. In addition, certain
restricted securities may exhibit greater price volatility than securities
for which secondary markets exist. As of June 30, 2016, the Fund held the
following restricted securities:

SUNAMERICA SENIOR FLOATING RATE FUND, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- JUNE 30, 2016 -- (UNAUDITED)
Note 1. Organization of the Fund
SunAmerica Senior Floating Rate Fund, Inc. (the "Fund") is an open-end,
diversified management investment company. The Fund was organized as a
Maryland corporation in 1998 and is registered under the Investment Company
Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"). The Fund is managed by SunAmerica
Asset Management, LLC (the "Adviser" or "SunAmerica"), an indirect
wholly-owned subsidiary of American International Group, Inc. ("AIG"). The
Fund's investment goal and principal investment techniques are to provide as
high a level of current income as is consistent with the preservation of
capital by investing, under normal market conditions, at least 80% of its
net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in senior secured
floating rate loans and other institutionally traded secured floating rate
debt obligations ("Loans"). The Fund may also purchase both investment grade
and high yield fixed income securities and money market instruments,
although the Fund may not invest more than 10% of its total assets in high
yield fixed income securities. The Fund may invest in foreign securities,
including up to 10% of its total assets in non-U.S. dollar denominated Loans
and high yield fixed income securities and up to 25% of its total assets in
U.S. dollar denominated Loans issued by non-U.S. companies.
The Fund offers two classes of shares. Class A shares are offered at net
asset value per share plus an initial sales charge. Additionally, purchases
of Class A shares in excess of $1,000,000 will be purchased at net asset
value but will be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC") on
redemptions made within two years of purchase. Class C shares are offered
for sale at net asset value without a front-end sales charge, although a
CDSC may be imposed on redemptions made within 12 months of purchase. The
share classes differ in their respective distribution and account
maintenance fees. All classes have equal rights to assets and voting
privileges except as may otherwise be provided in the Fund's registration
statement.
INDEMNIFICATIONS: The Fund's organizational documents provide current and
former officers and directors with a limited indemnification against
liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. In
addition, pursuant to Indemnification Agreements between the Fund and each
of the current directors who is not an "interested person," as defined in
Section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act, of the Fund (collectively, the
"Disinterested Directors"), the Fund provides the Disinterested Directors
with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising out of the
performance of their duties to the Fund, whether such liabilities are
asserted during or after their service as directors. In addition, in the
normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain the
obligation to indemnify others. The Fund's maximum exposure under these
arrangements is unknown. Currently, however, the Fund expects the risk of
loss to be remote.
Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures
in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from these
estimates and those differences could be significant. The following is a
summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund
in the preparation of its financial statements:
SECURITY VALUATION: In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair
value measurements and disclosures under GAAP, the Fund discloses the fair
value of its investments in a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to
valuation techniques used to measure the fair value. In accordance with
GAAP, fair value is defined as the price that the Fund would receive upon
selling an asset or transferring a liability in a timely transaction to an
independent third party in the principal or most advantageous market. GAAP
establishes a three-tier hierarchy to provide more transparency around the
inputs used to measure fair value and to establish classification of fair
value measurements for disclosure purposes. Inputs refer broadly to the
assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or
liability, including assumptions about risk. Inputs may be observable or
unobservable. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions
market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed
based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting
entity. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the reporting
20
SUNAMERICA SENIOR FLOATING RATE FUND, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- JUNE 30, 2016 -- (UNAUDITED)
(CONTINUED)
entity's own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use
in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information
available in the circumstances. The three-tiers are as follows:
Level 1 -- Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical
securities
Level 2 -- Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for
similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk,
referenced indices, quoted prices in inactive markets, adjusted quoted
prices in active markets, adjusted quoted prices on foreign equity
securities that were adjusted in accordance with pricing procedures approved
by the Board of Directors (the "Board"), etc.)
Level 3 -- Significant unobservable inputs (includes inputs that reflect the
Fund's own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use
in pricing the security, developed based on the best information available
under the circumstances)
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an
investment's assigned Level within the hierarchy. The methodology used for
valuing investments is not necessarily an indication of the risk associated
with investing in those investments and the determination of the
significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its
entirety requires judgment and consideration of factors specific to each
security.
The availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and
is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type
of security, whether the security is recently issued and not yet established
in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics
particular to the security. To the extent that valuation is based on models
or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the
determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree
of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments
categorized in Level 3.
The summary of the Fund's assets and liabilities classified in the fair
value hierarchy as of June 30, 2016, is reported on a schedule following the
Portfolio of Investments.
Stocks are generally valued based upon closing sales prices reported on
recognized securities exchanges on which the securities are principally
traded and are generally categorized as Level 1. Stocks listed on the NASDAQ
are valued using the NASDAQ Official Closing Price ("NOCP"). Generally, the
NOCP will be the last sale price unless the reported trade for the stock is
outside the range of the bid/ask price. In such cases, the NOCP will be
normalized to the nearer of the bid or ask price. For listed securities
having no sales reported and for unlisted securities, such securities will
be valued based upon the last reported bid price.
As of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"),
securities traded primarily on security exchanges outside the United States
are valued at the last sale price on such exchanges on the day of valuation,
or if there is no sale on the day of valuation, at the last-reported bid
price. If a security's price is available from more than one exchange, the
Fund uses the exchange that is the primary market for the security. Such
securities are generally categorized as Level 1. However, depending on the
foreign market, closing prices may be up to 15 hours old when they are used
to price a Fund's shares, and the Fund may determine that certain closing
prices do not reflect the fair value of the security. This determination
will be based on the review of a number of factors, including developments
in foreign markets, the performance of U.S. securities markets, and the
performance of instruments trading in U.S. markets that represent foreign
securities and baskets of foreign securities. If the Fund determines that
closing prices do not reflect the fair value of the securities, the Fund
will adjust the previous closing prices in accordance with pricing
procedures approved by the Board to reflect what it believes to be the fair
value of the securities as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE. The
Fund may also fair value securities in other situations, for example, when a
particular foreign market is closed but the Fund is open. For foreign equity
securities and foreign equity futures contracts, the Fund uses an outside
pricing service to provide it with closing market prices and information
used for adjusting those prices, and when so adjusted, such securities and
futures are generally categorized as Level 2.
21
SUNAMERICA SENIOR FLOATING RATE FUND, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- JUNE 30, 2016 -- (UNAUDITED)
(CONTINUED)
Bonds, debentures, and other debt securities are valued at evaluated bid
prices obtained for the day of valuation from a Board-approved pricing
service, and are generally categorized as Level 2. The pricing service may
use valuation models or matrix pricing which considers information with
respect to comparable bond and note transactions, quotations from bond
dealers, or by reference to other securities that are considered comparable
in such characteristics as rating, interest rate, and maturity date, option
adjusted spread models, prepayments projections, interest rate spreads, and
yield curves to determine current value. If a price is unavailable from a
Board-approved pricing service, the securities may be priced at the mean of
two independent quotes obtained from brokers.
Senior secured floating rate loans ("Loans") are valued at the average of
available bids in the market for such Loans, as provided by a Board-approved
loan pricing service, and are generally categorized as Level 2.
Investments in registered investment companies that do not trade on an
exchange are valued at the end of day net asset value per share. Investments
in registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at
the last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the
customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally
traded. Registered investment companies are generally categorized as Level 1.
Forward foreign currency contracts ("forward contracts") are valued at the
4:00 pm Eastern time forward rate and are generally categorized as Level 2.
The Board is responsible for the share valuation process and has adopted
policies and procedures (the "PRC Procedures") for valuing the securities
and other assets held by the Fund, including procedures for the fair
valuation of securities and other assets for which market quotations are not
readily available or are unreliable. The PRC Procedures provide for the
establishment of a pricing review committee, which is responsible for, among
other things, making certain determinations in connection with the Fund's
fair valuation procedures. Securities for which market quotations are not
readily available or the values of which may be significantly impacted by
the occurrence of developments or significant events are generally
categorized as Level 3. There is no single standard for making fair value
determinations, which may result in prices that vary from those of other
funds.
DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS:
FORWARD FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS: During the period, the Fund used forward
contracts to protect against uncertainty in the level of future exchange
rates.
A forward contract is an agreement between two parties to buy or sell
currency at a set price on a future date. The market value of the contract
will fluctuate with changes in currency exchange rates. The contract is
marked-to-market daily using the forward rate and the cumulative change in
market value is recorded by the Fund as unrealized appreciation or
depreciation. On the settlement date, the Fund records either realized gains
or losses equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the
time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.
Risks to the Fund of entering into forward contracts include counterparty
risk, market risk and illiquidity risk. Counterparty risk arises upon
entering into these contracts from the potential inability of counterparties
to meet the terms of their contracts. If the counterparty defaults, the
Fund's loss will generally consist of the net amount of contractual payments
that the Fund has not yet received though the Fund's maximum exposure due to
counterparty risk could extend to the notional amount of the contract.
Market risk is the risk that the value of the forward contract will
depreciate due to unfavorable changes in the exchange rates. These contracts
may involve market risk in excess of the unrealized appreciation or
depreciation reported on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Illiquidity risk arises because the secondary market for forwards may have
less liquidity relative to markets for other securities. Currency
transactions are also subject to risks different from those of other
portfolio transactions. Because currency control is of great importance to
the issuing governments and influences economic planning and policy,
purchases and sales of currency and related instruments can be adversely
affected by government exchange controls, limitations or restrictions on
repatriation of currency, and manipulations or exchange restrictions imposed
by governments.
22

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- JUNE 30, 2016 -- (UNAUDITED)
(CONTINUED)
Forward foreign currency contracts outstanding at the end of the period, if
any, are reported on a schedule following the Fund's Portfolio of
Investments.
MASTER AGREEMENTS: The Fund holds derivative instruments and other financial
instruments whereby the Fund may be a party to ISDA (International Swaps and
Derivatives Association, Inc.) Master Agreements or similar agreements
("Master Agreements") with certain counterparties that govern such
instruments. Master Agreements may contain provisions regarding, among other
things, the parties' general obligations, representations, agreements,
collateral requirements, events of default and early termination. Collateral
can be in the form of cash or securities as agreed to by the Fund and
applicable counterparty. Collateral requirements are generally determined
based on the Fund's net position with each counterparty. Master Agreements
may also include certain provisions that require the Fund to post additional
collateral upon the occurrence of certain events, such as when a Fund's net
assets fall below a specified level. In addition, Master Agreements
typically specify certain standard termination events, such as failure of a
party to pay or deliver, credit support defaults and other events of
default. Termination events applicable to the Fund may also occur upon a
decline in the Fund's net assets below a specified level over a certain
period of time. Additional termination events applicable to counterparties
may occur upon a decline in a counterparty's long-term and short-term credit
ratings below a specified level, or upon a decline in the ratings of a
counterparty's credit support provider. Upon the occurrence of a termination
event, the other party may elect to terminate early and cause settlement of
all instruments outstanding pursuant to a particular Master Agreement,
including the payment of any losses and costs resulting from such early
termination, as reasonably determined by the terminating party. Any decision
by one or more of the Fund's counterparties to elect early termination could
cause the Fund to accelerate the payment of liabilities, which settlement
amounts could be in excess of the amount of assets that are already posted
as collateral. Typically, the Master Agreement will permit a single net
payment in the event of default. Note, however, that bankruptcy or
insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or
prohibitions against the right of offset in bankruptcy, insolvency or other
events. As a result, the early termination with respect to derivative
instruments subject to Master Agreements that are in a net liability
position could be material to the Fund's financial statements. The Fund does
not offset derivative assets and derivative liabilities that are subject to
netting arrangements in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. As of
June 30, 2016, the repurchase agreements held by the Fund are subject to
master netting provisions. See the Portfolio of Investments and the Notes to
Financial Statements for more information about the Fund's holdings in
repurchase agreements.

REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS: The Fund, along with other affiliated registered
investment companies, pursuant to procedures adopted by the Board and
applicable guidance from the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), may
transfer uninvested cash balances into a single joint account, the daily
aggregate balance of which is invested in one or more repurchase agreements
collateralized by U.S. Treasury or federal agency obligations. In a
repurchase agreement, the seller of a security agrees to repurchase the
security at a mutually agreed-upon time and price, which reflects the
effective rate of return for the term of the agreement. For repurchase
agreements and joint repurchase agreements, the Fund's custodian takes
possession of the collateral pledged for investments in such repurchase
agreements ("repo" or collectively "repos"). The underlying collateral is
valued daily on a mark to market basis, plus accrued interest, to ensure
that the value, at the time the agreement is entered into, is equal to at
least 102% of the repurchase price, including accrued interest. In the event
of default of the obligation to repurchase, the Fund has the right to
liquidate the collateral and apply the proceeds in satisfaction of the
obligation. If the seller defaults and the value of the collateral declines
or if bankruptcy proceedings are commenced with respect to the seller of the
security, realization of the collateral by the Fund may be delayed or
limited.

SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS, INVESTMENT INCOME, EXPENSES, DIVIDENDS AND
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS: Security transactions are recorded on a trade
date basis. Realized gains and losses on sales of investments are calculated
on the identified cost basis. Interest income is accrued daily from
settlement date except when collection is not expected. Dividend income is
recorded on the ex-dividend date. For financial statement purposes, the Fund
amortizes all premiums and accretes all discounts. Facility fees received,
which were $288,757 for the six months ended June 30, 2016, are accreted to
income over the life of the Loans. Other income, including amendment fees,
commitment fees, letter of credit fees, etc., which were $121,494 for the
six months ended June 30, 2016, are recorded as income when received or
contractually due to the Fund.
Net investment income, other than class specific expenses, and realized and
unrealized gains and losses are allocated daily to each class of shares
based upon the relative net asset value of outstanding shares (or the value
of dividend-eligible shares, as appropriate) of each class of shares at the
beginning of the day (after adjusting for the current capital share activity
of the respective class).
Dividends from net investment income are normally declared daily and paid
monthly. Capital gain distributions, if any, are paid annually. The Fund
records dividends and distributions to the shareholders on the ex-dividend
date. The amount of dividends and distributions from net investment income
and net realized capital gains are determined in accordance with federal
income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These "book/tax"
differences are either considered temporary or permanent in nature. To the
extent these differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are
reclassified within the capital accounts at fiscal year end based on their
federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences do not require
reclassification. Net assets are not affected by the reclassifications.
The Fund is considered a separate entity for tax purposes and intends to
comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended,
applicable to regulated investment companies and distribute all of its
taxable income, including any net capital gains on investments, to its
shareholders. The Fund also intends to distribute sufficient net investment
income and net capital gains, if any, so that the Fund will not be subject
to excise tax on undistributed income and gains. Therefore, no federal
income tax or excise tax provision is required.
The Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when
the position is more likely than not to be sustained, assuming examination
by tax authorities. Management has analyzed the Fund's tax positions and
concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded
related to uncertain tax positions taken on returns filed for open tax years
2012-2014 or expected to be taken in the Fund's 2015 tax return. The Fund is
not aware of any tax provisions for which it is reasonably possible that the
total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the
next twelve months. The Fund files U.S. federal and certain state income tax
returns. With few exceptions, the Fund is no longer subject to U.S. federal
and state tax examinations by tax authorities for tax returns ending before
2012.

proceeds from sale of long-term investments, including loan principal
paydowns, were $48,509,256 and $69,403,090, respectively.
Note 5. Investment Advisory Agreement and Other Transactions with Affiliates
The Fund has entered into an Investment Advisory and Management Agreement
(the "Advisory Agreement") with SunAmerica. Pursuant to the Advisory
Agreement, SunAmerica provides continuous supervision of the Fund and
administers its corporate affairs, subject to the general review and
oversight of the Board. In connection therewith, SunAmerica furnishes the
Fund with office facilities, maintains certain of the Fund's books and
records and pays the salaries and expenses of all personnel, including
officers of the Fund who are employees of SunAmerica and its affiliates.
SunAmerica also selects, contracts with and compensates the subadviser to
manage the Fund's assets. The Fund will pay SunAmerica a monthly management
fee at the following annual rates, based on the average daily net assets of
the Fund: 0.85% on the first $1 billion; 0.80% on the next $1 billion; and
0.75% in excess of $2 billion.
Wellington Management Company LLP ("Wellington") acts as subadviser to the
Fund pursuant to a Subadvisory Agreement with SunAmerica. Under the
Subadvisory Agreement, Wellington manages the investment and reinvestment of
the Fund's assets. For compensation for its services as subadviser,
Wellington is entitled to receive from SunAmerica a monthly fee payable at
the following annual rates: 0.30% of average daily net assets on the first
$500 million and 0.25% thereafter. The fee paid to the subadviser is paid by
SunAmerica and not the Fund.
Pursuant to the Administrative Services Agreement (the "Administrative
Agreement"), SunAmerica acts as the Fund's administrator and is responsible
for providing and supervising the performance by others, of administrative
services in connection with the operations of the Fund, subject to
supervision by the Fund's Board. For its services, SunAmerica receives an
annual fee equal to 0.20% of average daily net assets of the Fund. For the
six months ended June 30, 2016, SunAmerica earned fees as reflected in the
Statement of Operations based upon the aforementioned rate.
The Fund has entered into a Distribution Agreement with AIG Capital
Services, Inc. ("ACS" or the "Distributor"), an affiliate of the Adviser.
The Fund has adopted a Distribution Plan on behalf of each class of shares
(each a "Plan" and
27
SUNAMERICA SENIOR FLOATING RATE FUND, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- JUNE 30, 2016 -- (UNAUDITED)
(CONTINUED)
collectively, the "Plans") in accordance with the provisions of Rule 12b-1
under the 1940 Act, hereinafter referred to as the "Class A Plan" and "Class
C Plan". In adopting the Plans, the Board determined that there was a
reasonable likelihood that each such Plan would benefit the Fund and the
shareholders of the respective class. The sales charge and distribution fees
of a particular class will not be used to subsidize the sale of shares of
any other class.
Under the Class A Plan and Class C Plan, the Distributor receives payments
from the Fund at an annual rate of 0.10% and 0.50%, respectively, of the
average daily net assets of the Fund's Class A and Class C shares to
compensate the Distributor and certain securities firms for providing sales
and promotional activities for distributing that class of shares. The
distribution costs for which the Distributor may be compensated include fees
paid to broker-dealers that have sold Fund shares, commissions and other
expenses such as those incurred for sales literature, prospectus printing
and distribution and compensation to wholesalers. It is possible that in any
given year, the amount paid to the Distributor under each Class' Plan may
exceed the Distributor's distribution costs as described above. The Plans
provide that the Class A and Class C shares of the Fund will pay the
Distributor an account maintenance fee up to an annual rate of 0.25% of the
aggregate average daily net assets of such class of shares for payments to
compensate the Distributor and certain securities firms for account
maintenance activities. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, ACS received
fees (see Statement of Operations) based upon the aforementioned rates. For
the six months ended June 30, 2016, ACS received sales charges on Class A
shares of $33,070, of which $18,872 was reallowed to affiliated
broker-dealers and $7,275 to non-affiliated broker-dealers. In addition, ACS
receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges paid by investors
in connection with certain redemptions of Class A and Class C shares. For
the six months ended June 30, 2016, ACS received contingent deferred sales
charges of $1,606.
The Fund has entered into a Service Agreement with SunAmerica Fund Services,
Inc. ("SAFS") an affiliate of the Adviser. Under the Service Agreement, SAFS
performs certain shareholder account functions by assisting the Fund's
transfer agent in connection with the services that it offers to the
shareholders of the Fund. The Service Agreement, which permits the Fund to
compensate SAFS for services rendered based upon an annual rate of 0.22% of
average daily net assets, is approved annually by the Board. For the six
months ended June 30, 2016, the Fund incurred the following expenses, which
are included in the transfer agent fees and expenses payable in the
Statement of Assets and Liabilities and in transfer agent fees and expenses
in the Statement of Operations to compensate SAFS pursuant to the terms of
the Service Agreement.
PAYABLE AT
EXPENSE JUNE 30, 2016

Class A............................ $118,556 $19,464

SunAmerica has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses
to the extent necessary to cap the Fund's annual operating expenses at 1.45%
for Class A and 1.75% for Class C, of average daily net assets. For purposes
of waived fees and/or reimbursed expense calculations, annual Fund operating
expenses shall not include extraordinary expenses, (i.e., expenses that are
unusual in nature and/or infrequent in occurrence, such as litigation), or
acquired fund fees and expenses, brokerage commissions and other
transactional expenses relating to the purchase and sale of portfolio
securities, interest, taxes and governmental fees and other expenses not
incurred in the ordinary course of the Fund's business. The expense
reimbursements and fee waivers will continue indefinitely, unless terminated
by the Board, including a majority of the Disinterested Directors. For the
six months ended June 30, 2016, SunAmerica waived fees and/or reimbursed
expenses as follows: Class A $181,308 and Class C $336,605.

CAPITAL LOSS CARRYFORWARDS: At December 31, 2015 for Federal income tax
purposes, the Fund has capital loss carryforwards available to offset future
capital gains of $43,306,204 with $16,003,027 expiring in 2016 and
$27,303,177 expiring in 2017. Additionally, the Fund generated $453,563 and
$15,903,604 of unlimited short-term and long-term capital losses
respectively.+
-----
+ On December 22, 2010, the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act
of 2010 (the "Act") was enacted which changed various technical rules
governing the tax treatment of regulated investment companies. The
changes are generally effective for taxable years beginning after the
date of enactment. Under the Act, the fund will be permitted to carry
forward capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after the date
of enactment for an unlimited period. However, any losses incurred during
those future taxable years will be required to be utilized prior to the
losses incurred in pre-enactment taxable years, which carry an expiration
date. As a result of this ordering rule, pre-enactment capital loss
carryforwards may be more likely to expire unused. Additionally,
post-enactment capital losses that are carried forward will retain their
character as either short-term or long-term losses rather than being
considered all short-term as under previous law.
Under the current law, capital losses realized after October 31 and
specified ordinary losses may be deferred and treated as occurring on the
first day of the following year. For the year ended December 31, 2015, the
fund elected to defer $279,903 of Post-October short-term capital losses and
$2,239,568 of Post-October long-term capital losses.
Unrealized appreciation and depreciation in the value of investments at
June 30, 2016 for federal income tax purposes were as follows:

Note 7. Line of Credit
The Fund, along with certain other funds managed by the Adviser, has access
to a $75 million committed unsecured line of credit and a $50 million
uncommitted unsecured line of credit. The committed and uncommitted lines of
credit are renewable on an annual basis with State Street Bank and Trust
Company, the Fund's custodian. Interest is currently payable on the
committed line of credit at the higher of the Federal Funds Rate (but not
less than zero) plus 125 basis points or the One-Month London Interbank
Offered Rate (but not less than zero) plus 125 basis points and State Street
Bank and Trust Company's discretionary bid rate on the uncommitted line of
credit. There is also a commitment fee of 20 basis points per annum on the
daily unused portion of the committed line of credit and a one-time closing
fee of 5 basis points on the uncommitted line of credit. Borrowings under
the line of credit will commence when the Fund's cash shortfall exceeds
$100,000.
For the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Fund did not utilize the line of
credit.

Note 8. Interfund Lending
Pursuant to the exemptive relief granted by the SEC, the Fund is permitted
to participate in an interfund lending program among investment companies
advised by SunAmerica or an affiliate. The interfund lending program allows
the participating funds to borrow money from and lend money to each other
for temporary or emergency purposes. An interfund loan will be made under
this facility only if the participating funds receive a more favorable
interest rate than would otherwise be available from a typical bank for a
comparable transaction. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Fund did
not participate in this program.
Note 9. Investment Concentration
The Fund invests primarily in participations and assignments, or acts as a
party to the primary lending syndicate of a variable rate senior loan
interest to United States corporations, partnerships, and other entities. If
the lead lender in a typical lending syndicate becomes insolvent, enters
receivership or, if not FDIC insured, enters into bankruptcy, the Fund may
incur certain costs and delays in receiving payment, or may suffer a loss of
principal and/or interest. When the Fund purchases a participation of a
senior loan interest, the Fund typically enters into a contractual agreement
with the lender or other third party selling the participation but not with
the borrower directly. As such, the Fund is subject to the credit risk of
the borrower, selling participant, lender or other persons positioned
between the Fund and the borrower.
Note 10. Unfunded Loan Commitments
At June 30, 2016, the Fund had the following unfunded loan commitments which
could be extended at the option of the Borrower:

APPROVAL OF THE INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND SUBADVISORY AGREEMENTS -- JUNE
30, 2016 -- (UNAUDITED)
The Board of Directors (the "Board" the members of which are referred to as
"Directors") of SunAmerica Senior Floating Rate Fund, Inc (the "Fund"),
including the Directors who are not "interested persons," as defined in
Section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940
Act") (the "Independent Directors"), of the Fund, SunAmerica Asset Management,
LLC ("SunAmerica") or Wellington Management Company LLP ("Wellington"),
approved the continuation of the Investment Advisory and Management Agreement
between the Fund and SunAmerica (the "Advisory Agreement") for a one-year
period ending June 30, 2017 at an in-person meeting held on June 7-8, 2016 (the
"Meeting"). At the Meeting, the Board, including the Independent Directors,
also approved the continuation of the Subadvisory Agreement between SunAmerica
and Wellington with respect to the Fund for a one-year period ending June 30,
2017 (the "Subadvisory Agreement," and together with the Advisory Agreement,
the "Agreements").
In accordance with Section 15(c) of the 1940 Act, the Board requested, and
SunAmerica and Wellington provided materials relating to the Board's
consideration of whether to approve the continuation of the Agreements. These
materials included: (a) a summary of the services provided to the Fund by
SunAmerica and its affiliates, and by Wellington; (b) information independently
compiled and prepared by Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. ("Broadridge"),
an independent third-party provider of mutual fund data on fees and expenses of
the Fund, and the investment performance of the Fund as compared with a peer
group of funds, along with fee and performance data with respect to the Fund
and any other mutual funds or accounts advised or subadvised by SunAmerica or
Wellington with similar investment objectives and/or strategies, as applicable;
(c) information on the profitability of SunAmerica and its affiliates, and a
discussion relating to indirect benefits; (d) information relating to economies
of scale; (e) information about SunAmerica's general compliance policies and
procedures and the services it provides in connection with its oversight of
subadvisers; (f) information about SunAmerica's and Wellington's risk
management processes; (g) information regarding brokerage and soft dollar
practices; and (h) information about the key personnel of SunAmerica and its
affiliates, and Wellington, that are involved in the investment management,
administration, compliance and risk management activities with respect to the
Fund, as well as current and projected staffing levels and compensation
practices.
In determining whether to approve the continuation of the Agreements, the
Board, including Independent Directors, considered at the Meeting, and from
time to time as appropriate, factors it deemed relevant, including the
following information:
NATURE, EXTENT AND QUALITY OF SERVICES PROVIDED BY SUNAMERICA AND WELLINGTON
The Board, including the Independent Directors, considered the nature, extent
and quality of services provided by SunAmerica. The Board noted that the
services include acting as investment manager and adviser to the Fund, managing
the daily business affairs of the Fund, and obtaining and evaluating economic,
statistical and financial information to formulate and implement the Fund's
investment policies. Additionally, the Board observed that SunAmerica provides
office space, bookkeeping, accounting, clerical, secretarial and certain
administrative services (excusive of, and in addition to, any such service
provided by any other party retained by the Fund) and has authorized its
officers and employees, if elected, to serve as officers or directors of the
Fund without compensation. The Board also noted that SunAmerica is responsible
for monitoring and reviewing the activities of affiliated and unaffiliated
third-party service providers, including Wellington. In addition to the quality
of the advisory services provided by SunAmerica, the Board considered the
quality of the administrative and other services provided by SunAmerica to the
Fund pursuant to the Advisory Agreement. Additionally, the Board observed that
SunAmerica performs or supervises the performance by others of other
administrative services in connection with the operation of the Fund pursuant
to the Administrative Services Agreement between SunAmerica and the Fund (the
"Administrative Services Agreement").
In connection with the services provided by SunAmerica, the Board analyzed the
structure and duties of SunAmerica's fund administration, accounting,
operations, legal and compliance departments and concluded that they were
adequate to meet the needs of the Fund. The Board also reviewed the personnel
responsible for providing advisory services to the Fund and other key personnel
of SunAmerica in addition to current and projected staffing levels and
compensation practices. The Board concluded, based on its experience and
interaction with SunAmerica, that: (i) SunAmerica would continue to be able to
retain quality investment and other personnel; (ii) SunAmerica has exhibited a
high level of diligence and attention to detail in carrying out its advisory
and other responsibilities under the Advisory Agreement;
31
SUNAMERICA SENIOR FLOATING RATE FUND, INC.
APPROVAL OF THE INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND SUBADVISORY AGREEMENTS -- JUNE
30, 2016 -- (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
(iii) SunAmerica has been responsive to requests of the Board; and
(iv) SunAmerica has kept the Board apprised of developments relating to the
Fund and the industry in general. The Board concluded that the nature and
extent of services provided under the Advisory Agreement were reasonable and
appropriate in relation to the management fees and that the quality of services
continues to be high. The Board also noted the high quality of services under
the Administrative Services Agreement.
The Board also considered SunAmerica's reputation and relationship with the
Fund and considered the benefit to shareholders of investing in funds that are
part of a family of funds offering a variety of types of mutual funds and
shareholder services. The Board considered SunAmerica's experience in providing
management and investment advisory and administrative services to advisory
clients and noted that as of March 31, 2016, SunAmerica managed, advised and/or
administered approximately $79.5 billion in assets. In addition, the Board
considered SunAmerica's code of ethics and its commitment to compliance
generally and with respect to its management and administration of the Fund.
The Board also considered SunAmerica's risk management processes. The Board
further observed that SunAmerica has developed internal procedures for
monitoring compliance with the investment objectives, policies and restrictions
of the Fund as set forth in the Fund's prospectus. The Board also reviewed
SunAmerica's compliance and regulatory history and noted that there were no
material legal, regulatory or compliance issues that would potentially impact
SunAmerica from effectively serving as the investment adviser to the Fund.
The Board also considered the nature, extent and quality of services to be
provided by Wellington. The Board observed that Wellington is responsible for
providing day-to-day investment management services, including investment
research, advice and supervision, and determining which securities will be
purchased or sold by the Fund, or portion thereof, that Wellington manages,
subject to the oversight and review of SunAmerica. The Board reviewed
Wellington's history, structure, size, visibility and resources, which are
needed to attract and retain highly qualified investment professionals. The
Board reviewed the personnel that are responsible for providing subadvisory
services to the Fund, in addition to current and projected staffing levels and
compensation practices, and concluded, based on its experience with Wellington,
that Wellington: (i) has been able to retain high quality portfolio managers
and other investment personnel; (ii) has exhibited a high level of diligence
and attention to detail in carrying out its responsibilities under the
Subadvisory Agreement; and (iii) has been responsive to requests of the Board
and of SunAmerica. In addition, the Board considered Wellington's code of
ethics and risk management process. The Board further observed that Wellington
has developed internal policies and procedures for monitoring compliance with
the investment objectives, policies and restrictions of the Fund as set forth
in the Fund's prospectus. The Board also reviewed Wellington's compliance and
regulatory history and noted that there were no material legal, regulatory or
compliance issues that would potentially impact Wellington from effectively
serving as a subadviser to the Fund. The Board concluded that the nature and
extent of services provided by Wellington under the Subadvisory Agreement were
reasonable and appropriate in relation to the subadvisory fees and that the
quality of services continues to be high.
INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE
The Board, including the Independent Directors, also considered the investment
performance of SunAmerica and Wellington with respect to the Fund. In
connection with its review, the Board received and reviewed information
regarding the investment performance of the Fund as compared to the Fund's peer
group ("Peer Group") and peer universe ("Peer Universe") as independently
determined by Broadridge and to an appropriate index or combination of indices,
including the Fund's benchmarks. The Board was provided with a description of
the methodology used by Broadridge to select the funds in the Peer Group and
Peer Universe.
The Board noted that performance information was for the periods ended
March 31, 2016. The Board also noted that it regularly reviews the performance
of the Fund throughout the year. The Board further noted that, while it
monitors performance of the Fund closely, it generally attaches more importance
to performance over relatively long periods of time, typically three to five
years.
The Board considered that the Fund's performance was below the median of its
Peer Group and Peer Universe for the one-, three- and five-year periods. The
Board further considered that the Fund underperformed its Broadridge Index for
the one-,
32
SUNAMERICA SENIOR FLOATING RATE FUND, INC.
APPROVAL OF THE INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND SUBADVISORY AGREEMENTS -- JUNE
30, 2016 -- (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
three- and five-year periods. The Board noted management's discussion of the
Fund's performance and the current market conditions affecting the Fund's
performance. The Board concluded that the Fund's performance was being
addressed.
CONSIDERATION OF THE MANAGEMENT FEES AND THE COST OF THE SERVICES AND PROFITS
TO BE REALIZED BY SUNAMERICA, WELLINGTON AND THEIR AFFILIATES FROM THE
RELATIONSHIP WITH THE FUND.
The Board, including the Independent Directors, received and reviewed
information regarding the fees to be paid by the Fund to SunAmerica pursuant to
the Advisory Agreement and the fees paid by SunAmerica to Wellington pursuant
to the Subadvisory Agreement. The Board examined this information in order to
determine the reasonableness of the fees in light of the nature and quality of
services to be provided and any potential additional benefits to be received by
SunAmerica, Wellington or their affiliates in connection with providing such
services to the Fund.
To assist in analyzing the reasonableness of the management fees for the Fund,
the Board received reports independently prepared by Broadridge. The reports
showed comparative fee information for the Fund's Peer Group and Peer Universe
as determined by Broadridge, including rankings within each category. In
considering the reasonableness of the management fees to be paid by the Fund to
SunAmerica, the Board reviewed a number of expense comparisons, including:
(i) contractual and actual management fees; and (ii) actual total operating
expenses. In considering the Fund's total operating expenses, the Board
analyzed the level of fee waivers and expense reimbursements and the net
expense caps contractually agreed upon by SunAmerica. The Board further
considered that, unlike the funds in the Peer Group and Peer Universe, the fee
waivers and/or reimbursements being made by SunAmerica with respect to the
Funds are only reflected in the total expenses category of the Broadridge
reports, rather than also being reflected as specific management fee waivers in
the actual management fees category of the Broadridge reports. As a result, the
Board took into account that the actual management fees presented by Broadridge
for the funds in the Peer Group and Peer Universe may appear lower on a
relative basis. The Board also considered the various expense components of the
Fund and compared the Fund's net expense ratio to those of other funds within
its Peer Group and Peer Universe as a guide to help assess the reasonableness
of the management fee for the Fund. The Board acknowledged that it was
difficult to make precise comparisons with other funds in the Peer Group and
Peer Universe since the exact nature of services provided under the various
fund agreements is often not apparent. The Board noted, however, that the
comparative fee information provided by Broadridge as a whole was useful in
assessing whether SunAmerica was providing services at a cost that was
competitive with other, similar funds.
The Board further considered services and management fees received by
SunAmerica with respect to other mutual funds with similar investment
strategies to the Fund. The Board then noted the management fee paid by the
Fund was reasonable as compared to the fees SunAmerica was receiving from other
mutual funds for which it serves as adviser.
The Board also received and reviewed information regarding the fees paid by
SunAmerica to Wellington pursuant to the Subadvisory Agreement. To assist in
analyzing the reasonableness of the subadvisory fee, the Board received a
report independently prepared by Broadridge. The report showed comparative fee
information of the Fund's Peer Group and/or Peer Universe that the Directors
used as a guide to help assess the reasonableness of the subadvisory fee. The
Directors noted that the Peer Group/Universe information as a whole was useful
in assessing whether Wellington was providing services at a cost that was
competitive with other, similar funds. The Directors also considered that the
subadvisory fee is paid by SunAmerica out of its management fees and not by the
Fund, and that subadvisory fees may vary widely within a Peer Group for various
reasons, including market pricing demands, existing relationships, experience
and success, and individual client needs. The Board further considered the
amount of subadvisory fee paid out by SunAmerica and the amount of the
management fees which it retained and determined that these amounts were
reasonable in light of the services performed by SunAmerica and the Subadviser,
respectively.
The Board also considered fees received by Wellington with respect to other
mutual funds and accounts with similar investment strategies to the Fund, to
the extent applicable. The Board noted in particular that the similar accounts
identified by Wellington were institutional separate accounts, and Wellington
highlighted certain differences between these separate accounts and the Fund,
including that these separate accounts are subject to different investment
limitations and restrictions and do not experience daily cash flows in a manner
similar to the Fund. The Board then noted that the
33
SUNAMERICA SENIOR FLOATING RATE FUND, INC.
APPROVAL OF THE INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND SUBADVISORY AGREEMENTS -- JUNE
30, 2016 -- (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
subadvisory fee paid by SunAmerica to Wellington was reasonable as compared to
fees Wellington receives for other comparable accounts for which they serve as
adviser or subadviser.
The Board considered that the Fund's actual management fees were above the
median of its Peer Group and Peer Universe. The Board also considered that the
Fund's total expenses were above the median of its Peer Group and Peer
Universe. The Board noted that the Fund's advisory fee contains breakpoints and
further noted management's discussions regarding the Fund's expenses.
PROFITABILITY
The Board also considered SunAmerica's profitability and the benefits
SunAmerica and its affiliates received from their relationship with the Fund.
The Board received and reviewed financial statements relating to SunAmerica's
financial condition and profitability with respect to the services it provided
the Fund and considered how profit margins could affect SunAmerica's ability to
attract and retain high quality investment professionals and other key
personnel. The Board was also provided with a profitability analysis that
detailed the revenues earned and the expenses incurred by SunAmerica and its
affiliates that provide services to the Fund. In particular, the Board
considered the contractual fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements agreed to
by SunAmerica.
The Board considered the profitability of SunAmerica under the Advisory
Agreement, including the amount of management fees retained after payment to
the Subadviser, as well as the profitability of SunAmerica under the
Administrative Services Agreement, and considered the profitability of
SunAmerica's affiliates under the Service Agreement and Rule 12b-1 Plans.
Additionally, the Board considered whether SunAmerica, Wellington and their
affiliates received any indirect benefits from the relationship with the Fund.
Specifically, the Board observed that AIG Federal Savings Bank, an affiliate of
SunAmerica, serves as custodian with respect to certain shareholder retirement
accounts that are administered by SunAmerica and receives a fee payable by the
qualifying shareholders. The Board further considered whether there were any
collateral or "fall-out" benefits that SunAmerica and its affiliates may derive
as a result of their relationship with the Fund. The Board noted that
SunAmerica believes that any such benefits are de minimis and do not impact the
reasonableness of the management fees.
The Board also reviewed financial statements and/or other reports from the
Wellington and considered whether Wellington had the financial resources
necessary to attract and retain high quality investment management personnel
and to provide a high quality of services.
The Board concluded that SunAmerica and Wellington had the financial resources
necessary to perform its obligations under the Agreements and to continue to
provide the Fund with the high quality services that they had provided in the
past. The Board further concluded that the management fees were reasonable in
light of the factors discussed above.
ECONOMIES OF SCALE
The Board, including the Independent Directors, considered whether the
shareholders would benefit from economies of scale and whether there was
potential for future realization of economies with respect to the Fund. The
Board considered that as a result of being part of the SunAmerica fund complex,
the Fund shares common resources and may share certain expenses, and if the
size of the complex increases, the Fund could incur lower expenses than it
otherwise would achieve as a stand-alone entity. The Board also took into
account that the Fund had a management fee arrangement that included
breakpoints that will adjust the fee downward as the size of the Fund
increases, thereby allowing the shareholders to potentially participate in any
economies of scale. The Board further noted that SunAmerica has agreed to
contractually cap the total annual operating expenses of the Fund at certain
levels. The Board observed that those expense caps benefited shareholders by
limiting total fees even in the absence of breakpoints or economies of scale.
The Board concluded that the Fund's management fee structure was reasonable and
that it would continue to review fees in connection with the renewal of the
Advisory Agreement, including whether the implementation of additional
breakpoints would be appropriate in the future due to an increase in asset size
or otherwise.

SUNAMERICA SENIOR FLOATING RATE FUND, INC.
APPROVAL OF THE INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND SUBADVISORY AGREEMENTS -- JUNE
30, 2016 -- (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
The Board noted that the Subadvisory Agreement included breakpoints, but did
not review specific information regarding whether there have been economies of
scale with respect to Wellington's management of the Fund because it regards
that information as less relevant at the subadviser level. Rather, the Board
considered information regarding economies of scale in the context of the
renewal of the Advisory Agreement.
OTHER FACTORS
In consideration of the Agreements, the Board also received information
regarding SunAmerica's and Wellington's brokerage and soft dollar practices.
The Board considered that Wellington is responsible for decisions to buy and
sell securities for the Fund, selection of broker-dealers and negotiation of
commission rates, as applicable. The Board also considered that the Fund
invests primarily in senior secured floating rate loans and, therefore, the
Fund generally does not incur significant brokerage commissions.
CONCLUSION
After a full and complete discussion, the Board approved the Agreements, each
for a one-year period ending June 30, 2017. Based upon its evaluation of all
these factors in their totality, the Board, including the Independent
Directors, was satisfied that the terms of the Agreements were fair and
reasonable and in the best interests of the Fund and the Fund's shareholders.
In arriving at a decision to approve the Agreements, the Board did not identify
any single factor or group of factors as all-important or controlling, but
considered all factors together, and each Independent Director may have
attributed different weights to different factors. The Independent Directors
were also assisted by the advice of independent legal counsel in making this
determination.
