Important Risks and Additional Information

Volatility Control Portfolios are available in select Polaris Variable Annuities. Information contained in this brochure is as of 9/30/16 and subject to change.

Polaris Variable Annuities are long-term investments designed for retirement. In the Accumulation phase, they can help you build assets on a tax-deferred basis. In the Income phase, they can provide you with guaranteed income through standard or optional features. Variable annuities are subject to costs that include a separate account fee, a contract maintenance fee, expenses related to the operation of the variable portfolios and the costs associated with any optional features elected. Income protection features are optional and subject to additional fees, investment requirements and other limitations. All contract and optional benefit guarantees, including any fixed account crediting rates or annuity rates, are backed by the claims-paying ability of the issuing insurer. Early withdrawals may be subject to withdrawal charges. Partial withdrawals reduce the contract value and may also reduce certain benefits under the contract, such as the death benefit and the amount available upon a full surrender. Withdrawals of taxable amounts are subject to ordinary income tax and if taken prior to age 59½, an additional 10% federal tax may apply. An investment in Polaris involves investment risk, including possible loss of principal. The contract, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the total amount invested. If you fund a retirement plan or account, such as your IRA or 401(k), with a variable annuity, you should realize that these retirement plans and accounts are already tax-deferred. A variable annuity provides no additional tax-deferred benefit beyond that provided by the retirement plan or account. You should only use a variable annuity in a retirement plan or account if you want to benefit from features other than tax deferral. Please consult with your financial and tax advisors regarding your individual situation.

Net Equity Exposure: The Portfolio’s overall level of exposure to the equity market. Depending on the Portfolio’s investment strategy, equity exposure may be obtained through the companies, securities or underlying portfolios in which the Portfolio invests, plus or minus the notional amount of a long or short position in equities obtained through the use of exchange-traded futures contracts, options, or other investments. With certain portfolios, Net Equity Exposure is referred to in the trust prospectus as Net Economic Exposure to Equity Securities. Investment strategies, including minimum and maximum Net Equity Exposure, vary by Portfolio. Please see the applicable trust prospectus for complete details.

Volatility Control Portfolios• While diversification and asset allocation are both proven investment strategies, they cannot guarantee greater or more consistent returns over time

and they cannot protect against loss.

• While Volatility Control Portfolios employ risk management processes that seek to manage volatility within the Portfolio, volatility may result from rapid or dramatic price swings. A Portfolio could experience high levels of volatility in both rising and falling markets. Due to market conditions or other factors, the actual or realized volatility of a Portfolio for any particular period of time may be materially higher or lower than the target level. Efforts to manage a Portfolio’s volatility could limit a Portfolio’s gains in rising markets, may expose the Portfolio to costs to which it would otherwise not have been exposed, and if unsuccessful may result in substantial losses. There is no assurance that a Portfolio’s goal will be met or that investment decisions made in seeking to manage a portfolio’s volatility will achieve the desired result.

• Each Portfolio is subject to derivative and leverage risks. These investment strategies may be riskier than other investment strategies and may result in gains or losses substantially greater than the cost of the position. While these strategies can be useful and inexpensive ways of reducing risk, they are sometimes ineffective due to unexpected changes in the market, exchange rates or other factors. When a Portfolio uses derivatives for leverage, the Portfolio will tend to be more volatile, resulting in larger gains or losses in response to the fluctuating prices of the Portfolio’s investments.

• Each Portfolio is subject to other risks including short sales risk and counterparty risk. Losses from short sales are potentially unlimited, whereas losses from purchases can be no greater than the total amount invested. Counterparty risk is the risk that a counterparty will not perform its obligations. Small movements in interest rates (both increases and decreases) may quickly and significantly reduce the value of certain mortgage-backed securities. These securities are also subject to risk of default, particularly during periods of economic downturn. Credit risk (i.e., the risk that an issuer might not pay interest when due or repay principal at maturity of the obligation) could affect the value of the investments in the Portfolio.

• Each Portfolio is subject to risk of conflict with insurance company interests given certain aspects of portfolio management are intended to mitigate the financial risks the insurer faces in connection with optional income protection guarantees.

• Certain Portfolios and their underlying portfolios (if applicable) may engage in frequent trading of portfolio securities to achieve their investment goals. Active trading may result in high portfolio turnover and correspondingly greater transaction costs.

• Investments are subject to certain risks including stock market and interest rate fluctuations, as well as additional risks associated with investments in certain asset classes. See below.

VCP Managed Asset Allocation SAST Portfolio• Hedge assets include cash and liquid transparent financial futures contracts that are tailored to the underlying holdings in the American Funds

Insurance Series Asset Allocation Fund. Futures contracts on major equity indices, U.S. Treasury bonds, and currencies are typically used. Futures contracts are used only to reduce risk relative to a long-equity portfolio. In situations of extreme market volatility, the exchange-traded futures could potentially reduce the Master Fund’s net economic exposure to equity securities to 0%.

• The Portfolio is subject to the risk that the strategy that will be used to stabilize the volatility of the Master Fund and reduce its downside exposure may not produce the desired result. In addition, the use of the risk-management overlay may cause the Master Fund’s return to lag that of the underlying fund in certain rising market conditions.

• Milliman Financial Risk Management LLC is not an affiliate or member of Capital Research and Management Company or The Capital Group Companies.

VCP Total Return Balanced Portfolio • The Portfolio may invest a significant portion of its assets in derivatives. As a result, performance could be primarily dependent on securities the Portfolio

does not own.

• The Portfolio will generally achieve equity exposure by investing in derivatives rather than through direct investments in equity securities. The Portfolio may also invest directly in equity securities and ETFs to achieve its goal.

8

Page 11: POLARIS Volatility Control FOR THOSE WHO WANT MORE …€¦ · The SunAmerica Dynamic Allocation Portfolio® ®(SDAP) and the SunAmerica Dynamic Strategy Portfolio (SDSP) are actively

VCP Value Portfolio • The Portfolio’s target volatility level is not a total return performance target. Total return performance is not expected to be within any specified target range.

• The Portfolio’s ability to achieve current income may be adversely affected if dividends on the Portfolio’s equity securities are reduced or discontinued or if prevailing interest rates on the Portfolio’s debt securities decline.

• Although the Portfolio seeks investments in undervalued companies, judgments that a particular security is undervalued may prove incorrect.

SA BlackRock VCP Global Multi Asset Portfolio• The Portfolio’s volatility management strategy may adjust the composition of the Portfolio’s riskier assets, such as equity and below investment grade

fixed income securities, and/or may allocate assets away from riskier assets into cash or short-term fixed income securities.

• In selecting equity and fixed income investments, judgments that evaluate the attractiveness of countries and sectors may prove incorrect.

• The value of the Portfolio’s foreign investments may fluctuate due to changes in currency exchange rates.

SA Schroders VCP Global Allocation Portfolio• The Portfolio may make substantial use of derivatives. As a result, performance could be primarily dependent on securities the Portfolio does not own.

• In selecting equity and fixed income investments, judgments that evaluate the attractiveness of countries and sectors may prove incorrect.

• The value of the Portfolio’s foreign investments may fluctuate due to changes in currency exchange rates.

SA T. Rowe Price VCP Balanced Portfolio• The Portfolio’s approach for stabilizing volatility may not produce the desired results.

• The value of the Portfolio’s foreign investments may fluctuate due to changes in currency exchange rates.

Additional Risks• There is no assurance that a Portfolio’s investment process will achieve its specific investment objectives.

• Portfolios that invest in stocks and bonds are subject to risk, including stock market and interest rate fluctuations. Portfolios that invest in bonds are subject to changes in their value when prevailing interest rates change. Portfolios that invest in non-U.S. stocks and bonds, including emerging market investments, are subject to additional risks such as political and social instability, differing securities regulations and accounting standards, limited public information, plus special risks that may include foreign taxation, currency risks, risks associated with possible differences in financial standards, and other monetary and political risks associated with future political and economic developments.

• Investments that concentrate on one economic sector or geographic region are generally subject to greater volatility than more diverse investments. Portfolios that invest in technology companies are subject to additional risks and may be affected by short product cycles, aggressive pricing, competition from new market entrants and obsolescence of existing technology. Portfolio returns may be considerably more volatile than a portfolio that does not invest in technology companies.

• Portfolios that invest in small and mid-size company stocks are generally riskier and more volatile than portfolios that invest in larger, more established companies.

• Portfolios that invest in high-yield bonds may be subject to greater price swings than portfolios that invest in higher-rated bonds. The payment of interest and principal is not assured.

• Portfolios that invest in real estate investment trusts (REITs) involve risks such as refinancing, economic conditions in the real estate industry, changes in property values, dependency on real estate management, and other risks associated with a concentration in one sector or geographic region.

• Investments in securities related to gold and other precious metals and minerals are speculative and impacted by a host of worldwide economic, financial and political factors.

• Money market instruments generally offer stability and income, but an investment in these securities, like investments in other portfolios, is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.
