The following questions and answers are designed to
give you an overview of SunAmerica Style Select
Series, Inc. (the "Fund"), and to provide you with
information about the Fund's separate Portfolios and
their investment goals, principal investment
strategies, and principal investment techniques.
Each goal may be changed without shareholder
approval, although you will receive notice of any
change. There can be no assurance that any
Portfolio's investment goal will be met or that the
net return on an investment in a Portfolio will
exceed what could have been obtained through other
investment or savings vehicles. More complete
investment information is provided in chart form,
under "More Information About the Portfolios," which
starts on page 32, and the glossary that follows on
page 36.

</TABLE>
A "STYLE-BASED" Portfolio follows a strict investment approach based either on
a "value" or a "growth" philosophy and on market capitalization.
A "STYLIZED" Portfolio may engage in value or growth investing, in any
proportion or combination.
A FOCUS strategy is one in which an Adviser actively invests in a small number
of holdings which constitute its favorite stock-picking ideas at any given
moment. A focus philosophy reflects the belief that, over time, the performance
of most investment managers' "highest confidence" stocks exceeds that of their
more diversified portfolios. Each FOCUS PORTFOLIO Adviser, FOCUSED TECHNET
PORTFOLIO Adviser and FOCUSED VALUE PORTFOLIO Adviser will invest in up to ten
securities, while each FOCUSED GROWTH AND INCOME PORTFOLIO Adviser may invest
in up to 30 securities. Each Adviser may invest in additional financial
instruments for the purpose of cash management or to hedge a security in the
Portfolio.
When deemed appropriate by an Adviser, a Portfolio may engage in ACTIVE TRADING
when it frequently trades its portfolio securities to achieve its investment
goal.
The "GROWTH" ORIENTED philosophy to which the Large-Cap Growth, Mid-Cap Growth,
Aggressive Growth and Focus Portfolios subscribe, and to which the Focused
Growth and Income and International Equity Portfolios partly subscribe-that of
investing in securities believed to offer the potential for capital
appreciation-focuses on securities considered to have a historical record of
above-average growth rate; to have significant growth potential; to have
above-average earnings growth or the ability to sustain earnings growth; to
offer proven or unusual products or services; or to operate in industries
experiencing increasing demand.
The "VALUE" ORIENTED philosophy to which the Large-Cap Value, Value, Small-Cap
Value and Focused Value Portfolios subscribe, and to which the Focused Growth
and Income and International Equity Portfolios partly subscribe-that of
investing in securities believed to be undervalued in the market-reflects a
contrarian approach, in that the potential for superior relative performance is
believed to be highest when stocks of fundamentally solid companies are out of
favor. The selection criteria is usually calculated to identify stocks of
companies with solid financial strength that have low price-earnings ratios and
may have generally been overlooked by the market.
The strategy of "INTERNATIONAL" INVESTING that the International Equity
Portfolio follows involves investing in at least three countries outside of the
United States, and may incorporate, in any combination, elements of value
investing, growth investing, and country allocation.
"COUNTRY ALLOCATION" is an investment strategy by which an Adviser purchases
securities based on research involving investment opportunities in particular
countries or regions, as opposed to opportunities in particular industries or
types of stocks. This research may include, but is not limited to, data and
forecasts about general regional economic strength, political and economic
stability, and valuation of currency.
MARKET CAPITALIZATION represents the total market value of the outstanding
securities of a corporation.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE FOCUSED TECHNET PORTFOLIO'S PRINCIPAL
INVESTMENT TECHNIQUES
The Portfolio will invest in up to thirty companies whose principal businesses
the Advisers believe will significantly benefit from advances or improvements in
technology ("technology companies"). Technology companies include companies in
many industries that rely extensively on technology in their product development
or operations, are expected to benefit from technological advances and
improvements, or may be experiencing growth in sales and earnings driven by
technology related research, products or services.
The broad industry categories in which technology companies may be found include
computer software and hardware, network and capital broadcasting, internet and
internet-related businesses, the development, production, sale, and distribution
of goods or services used in the broadcast and media industries, communications
services or equipment, the design, manufacture, or sale of electric components,
defense and data storage and retrieval, healthcare and biotechnology. The
relative size of the Portfolio's investment within these industries will vary
from time to time, and at times, one of these industries may not be represented
in the Portfolio's holdings.
The Portfolio will significantly invest, under normal market conditions, in
internet and internet-related businesses. These companies include e-commerce
enterprises as well as those that develop services and products for the
internet. The Advisers may rotate the Portfolio's holdings out of internet or
internet-related companies for temporary defensive purposes or if market
conditions warrant.
MARKET CAPITALIZATION RANGES
Companies are determined to be large-cap companies, mid-cap companies, or
small-cap companies based upon the market capitalization ranges prescribed by
the Style Box categories designed by Morningstar, Inc. Morningstar, Inc. may
change the Style Box market capitalization ranges over time as market conditions
and broad market valuations vary. The Portfolios' market capitalization ranges
will change as the Morningstar categories vary. Currently, these market
capitalization ranges are as follows: $1.5 billion or less for the Small-Cap
category; between $1.5 billion and $9.5 billion for the Mid-Cap category; and
$9.5 billion or more for the Large-Cap category. Under normal circumstances, at
least 65% of the total assets of each Style-based Portfolio will be invested in
companies with market capitalizations within the Portfolio's applicable range.
Also, the median market capitalization of the companies within each Portfolio
will fall within its applicable range.
Q: WHAT ARE THE PRINCIPAL RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE PORTFOLIOS?
A: The following section describes the principal risks of each Portfolio, while
the chart on page 28 describes various additional risks.
RISKS OF INVESTING IN EQUITY SECURITIES
All of the Portfolios invest primarily in equity securities. As with any equity
fund, the value of your investment in any of these Portfolios may fluctuate in
response to stock market movements. You should be aware that the performance of
different types of equity stocks may decline under varying market
conditions--for example, "growth" stocks may perform well under circumstances in
which "value" stocks in general have fallen. In addition, individual stocks
selected for any of these Portfolios may underperform the market generally.
RISKS OF NON-DIVERSIFICATION
Each Portfolio is non-diversified, which means that it can invest a larger
portion of its assets in the stock of a single company than can some other
mutual funds; by concentrating in a smaller number of stocks, the Portfolio's
risk is increased because the effect of each stock on the Portfolio's
performance is greater.
RISKS OF INVESTING IN TECHNOLOGY COMPANIES
Technology companies may react similarly to certain market pressures and events.
They may be significantly affected by short product cycles, aggressive pricing
of products and services, competition from new market entrants, and obsolescence
of existing technology. As a result, the Portfolio's returns may be considerably
more volatile than a fund that does not invest in technology companies.
ADDITIONAL PRINCIPAL RISKS
Shares of the Portfolios are not bank deposits and are not guaranteed or insured
by any bank or SunAmerica or SunAmerica's affiliates, government entity or the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. As with any mutual fund, there is no
guarantee that a Portfolio will be able to achieve its investment goals. If the
value of the assets of a Portfolio goes down, you could lose money.
ADDITIONAL RISKS SPECIFIC TO THE MID-CAP GROWTH PORTFOLIO
Stocks of smaller companies may be more volatile than, and not as readily
marketable as, those of larger companies. The Mid-Cap Growth Portfolio may be
riskier than the Large-Cap Growth, Focused Growth and Income or Large-Cap Value
Portfolios.
ADDITIONAL RISKS SPECIFIC TO THE AGGRESSIVE GROWTH PORTFOLIO, FOCUSED TECHNET
PORTFOLIO AND SMALL-CAP VALUE PORTFOLIO
Stocks of smaller companies may be more volatile than, and not as readily
marketable as, those of larger companies. These Portfolios may be riskier than
the Large-Cap Growth, Mid-Cap Growth, Focused Growth and Income or Large-Cap
Value Portfolios.
ADDITIONAL RISKS SPECIFIC TO THE INTERNATIONAL EQUITY PORTFOLIO
While investing internationally may reduce your risk by increasing the
diversification of your overall portfolio, the value of your investment may be
affected by fluctuating currency values, changing local and regional economic,
political and social conditions, and greater market volatility, and, in
addition, foreign securities may not be as liquid as domestic securities.
Q: HOW HAVE THE PORTFOLIOS PERFORMED HISTORICALLY?
A: The following Risk/Return Bar Charts and Tables illustrate the risks of
investing in the Portfolios by showing changes in the Portfolios'
performance from calendar year to calendar year, and compare the Portfolios'
average annual returns to those of an appropriate market index. Sales
charges are not reflected in the bar chart. If these amounts were reflected,
returns would be less than those shown. Of course, past performance is not
necessarily an indication of how a Portfolio will perform in the future.
Performance information for the Focused TechNet Portfolio and the Focused
Value Portfolio is not shown because neither has been in existence for a
full calendar year.

(1) The front-end sales charge on Class A shares decreases with the size of the
purchase to 0% for purchases of $1 million or more.
(2) Purchases of Class A shares over $1 million will be subject to a contingent
deferred sales charge (CDSC) on redemptions made within two years of
purchase. The CDSC on Class B shares applies only if shares are redeemed
within six years of their purchase. The CDSC on Class II shares applies only
if shares are redeemed within eighteen months of their purchase. See page 25
for more information on the CDSCs.
(3) A $15.00 fee may be imposed on wire and overnight mail redemptions.
(4) Because these fees are paid out of a Portfolio's assets on an on-going
basis, over time these fees will increase the cost of your investment and
may cost you more than paying other types of sales charges.
(5) The Board of Directors, including a majority of the Independent Directors,
approved the Investment Advisory and Management Agreement subject to the net
expense ratio set forth above. SunAmerica may not increase such ratios,
which are contractually required by agreement with the Board of Directors,
without the approval of the Directors, including a majority of the
Independent Directors. The expense waivers and fee reimbursements will
continue indefinitely, subject to termination by the Directors, including a
majority of the Independent Directors.

EXAMPLE
This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the
Portfolios with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in a Portfolio for the time periods
indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The
Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the
Portfolio's operating expenses remain the same. Although your actual costs may
be higher or lower, based on these assumptions and the net expenses shown in the
fee table your costs would be:
If you redeemed your investment at the end of the periods indicated:

SHAREHOLDER ACCOUNT INFORMATION

SELECTING A SHARE CLASS
Each Portfolio offers three classes of shares through this Prospectus: Class A,
Class B and Class II shares.
Each class of shares has its own cost structure, so you can choose the one best
suited to your investment needs. Your broker or financial advisor can help you
determine which class is right for you.
CLASS A
o Front-end sales charges, as described below. There are several ways to reduce
these charges, also described below.
o Lower annual expenses than Class B or Class II shares.
CLASS B
o No front-end sales charge; all your money goes to work for you right away.
o Higher annual expenses than Class A shares.
o Deferred sales charge on shares you sell within six years of purchase,
described below.
o Automatic conversion to Class A shares approximately one year after such time
that no CDSC would be payable upon redemption, as described below, thus
reducing future annual expenses.
CLASS II
o Front-end sales charge, as described below.
o Higher annual expenses than Class A shares.
o Deferred sales charge on shares you sell within eighteen months of purchase,
as described below.
o No conversion to Class A.
CALCULATION OF SALES CHARGES
CLASS A. Sales Charges are as follows:

$1,000,000 or more............................ None None 1.00%
</TABLE>
INVESTMENTS OF $1 MILLION OR MORE: Class A shares are available with no
front-end sales charge. However, there is a 1% CDSC on any shares you sell
within one year of purchase and a 0.50% CDSC is charged on shares you sell after
the first year and within the second year after purchase.
CLASS B. Shares are offered at their net asset value per share, without any
initial sales charge. However, there is a CDSC on shares you sell within six
years of buying them. The longer the time between the purchase and the sale of
shares, the lower the rate of the CDSC:
Class B deferred charges:

1.00% 1.01% 1.00%
</TABLE>
There is also a CDSC of 1% on shares you sell within 18 months after you buy
them.
DETERMINATION OF CDSC: Each CDSC is based on the original purchase cost or the
current market value of the shares being sold, whichever is less. There is no
CDSC on shares you purchase through reinvestment of dividends. To keep your CDSC
as low as possible, each time you place a request to sell shares we will first
sell any shares in your account that are not subject to a CDSC. If there are not
enough of these shares available, we will sell shares that have the lowest CDSC.
For purposes of the CDSC, we count all purchases you make during a calendar
month as having been made on the FIRST day of that month.

WAIVERS FOR CERTAIN INVESTORS. Various individuals and institutions may purchase
CLASS A shares without front-end sales charges, including:
o financial planners, institutions, broker-dealer representatives or
registered investment advisers utilizing Fund shares in fee-based
investment products under an agreement with the Distributor (this waiver
may also apply to front-end sales charges of Class II shares)
o participants in certain retirement plans that meet applicable
conditions, as described in the Statement of Additional Information
o Fund Directors and other individuals who are affiliated with any
Portfolio or other SunAmerica Mutual Funds and their families
o selling brokers and their employees and sales representatives and their
families
o participants in "Net Asset Value Transfer Program"
We will generally waive the CDSC for CLASS B or CLASS II shares in the following
cases:
o within one year of the shareholder's death or becoming disabled
o taxable distributions or loans to participants made by qualified
retirement plans or retirement accounts (not including rollovers) for
which SunAmerica Fund Services, Inc. serves as a fiduciary
o Fund Directors and other individuals who are affiliated with any
Portfolio or other SunAmerica Mutual Funds and their families
o to make payments through the Systematic Withdrawal Plan (subject to
certain conditions)
o participants in "Net Asset Value Transfer Program"
REDUCING YOUR CLASS A SALES CHARGES. There are several special purchase plans
that allow you to combine multiple purchases of Class A shares of SunAmerica
Mutual Funds to take advantage of the breakpoints in the sales charge schedule.
For information about the "Rights of Accumulation," "Letter of Intent,"
"Combined Purchase Privilege," and "Reduced Sales Charges for Group Purchases,"
contact your broker or financial advisor, or consult the Statement of Additional
Information.
To utilize: if you think you may be eligible for a sales charge reduction or
CDSC waiver, contact your broker or financial advisor.
REINSTATEMENT PRIVILEGE. If you sell shares of a Portfolio, you may invest some
or all of the proceeds in the same share class of the same Portfolio within one
year without a sales charge. If you paid a CDSC when you sold your shares, we
will credit your account with the dollar amount of the CDSC at the time of sale.
This may impact the amount of gain or loss recognized on the previous sale, for
tax purposes. All accounts involved must be registered in the same name(s).
DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE (12B-1) FEES
Each class of shares of each Portfolio has its own 12b-1 plan that provides for
distribution and account maintenance and service fees (payable to the
Distributor) based on a percentage of average daily net assets, as follows:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
ACCOUNT MAINTENANCE AND
CLASS DISTRIBUTION FEE SERVICE FEE
<S> <C> <C>
A 0.10% 0.25%
B 0.75% 0.25%
II 0.75% 0.25%
</TABLE>
Because 12b-1 fees are paid out of the Portfolio's assets on an ongoing basis,
over time these fees will increase the cost of your investment and may cost you
more than paying other types of sales charges.

SELLING SHARES IN WRITING. In certain circumstances, you will need to make your
request to sell shares in writing. Corporations, executors, administrators,
trustees or guardians may need to include additional items with a request to
sell shares. You may also need to include a signature guarantee, which protects
you against fraudulent orders. You will need a signature guarantee if:
o your address of record has changed within the past 30 days
o you are selling more than $100,000 worth of shares
o you are requesting payment other than by a check mailed to the address
of record and payable to the registered owner(s)
You can generally obtain a signature guarantee from the following sources:
o a broker or securities dealer
o a federal savings, cooperative or other type of bank
o a savings and loan or other thrift institution
o a credit union
o a securities exchange or clearing agency
A notary public CANNOT provide a signature guarantee.
TRANSACTION POLICIES
VALUATION OF SHARES. The net asset value per share (NAV) for each Portfolio and
class is determined each business day at the close of regular trading on the New
York Stock Exchange (generally 4:00 p.m., Eastern time) by dividing the net
assets of each class by the number of such class's outstanding shares.
Investments for which market quotations are readily available are valued at
market at their price as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock
Exchange for the day. All other securities and assets are valued at fair value
following procedures approved by the Directors.
BUY AND SELL PRICES. When you buy shares, you pay the NAV plus any applicable
sales charges, as described earlier. When you sell shares, you receive the NAV
minus any applicable CDSCs.
EXECUTION OF REQUESTS. Each Portfolio is open on those days when the New York
Stock Exchange is open for regular trading. We execute buy and sell requests at
the next NAV to be calculated after the Fund receives your request in good
order. If the Fund or the Distributor receives your order before the Portfolio's
close of business (generally 4:00 p.m., Eastern time), you will receive that
day's closing price. If the Fund or the Distributor receives your order after
that time, you will receive the next business day's closing price. If you place
your order through a broker or financial advisor, you should make sure the order
is transmitted to the Portfolio before its close of business. The Fund and the
Distributor reserve the right to reject any order to buy shares.
During periods of extreme volatility or market crisis, a Portfolio may
temporarily suspend the processing of sell requests, or may postpone payment of
proceeds for up to three business days or longer, as allowed by federal
securities laws.
Each Portfolio may invest to a large extent in securities that are primarily
listed on foreign exchanges that trade on weekends or other days when the Fund
does not price its shares. As a result, the value of this Portfolio's shares may
change on days when you will not be able to purchase or redeem your shares.
If the Fund determines that it would be detrimental to the best interests of the
remaining shareholders of the Fund to make payment of redemption proceeds wholly
or partly in cash, the Fund may pay the redemption price by a distribution in
kind of securities from the Fund in lieu of cash. However, the Focus Portfolio
and the Focused Growth and Income Portfolio have each made an election which
requires payment of redemption proceeds in cash.
At various times, the Fund may be requested to redeem shares for which it has
not yet received good payment. The Fund may delay or cause to be delayed the
mailing of a redemption check until such time as good payment (e.g., cash or
certified check drawn on a United States bank) has been collected for the
purchase of such shares, which will not exceed 15 days.
TELEPHONE TRANSACTIONS. For your protection, telephone requests are recorded in
order to verify their accuracy. In addition, Shareholder/Dealer Services will
take measures to verify the identity of the caller, such as asking for name,
account number, social security or other taxpayer ID number and other relevant
information. If appropriate measures are not taken, the Fund is responsible for
any losses that may occur to any account due to an unauthorized telephone call.
Also for your protection, telephone transactions are not permitted on accounts
whose names or addresses have changed within the past 30 days. At times of peak
activity, it may be difficult to place requests by phone. During these times,
consider sending your request in writing.

SHAREHOLDER ACCOUNT INFORMATION
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EXCHANGES. You may exchange shares of a Portfolio for shares of the same class
of any other fund distributed by SunAmerica Capital Services, Inc. Before making
an exchange, you should review a copy of the prospectus of the fund into which
you would like to exchange. All exchanges are subject to applicable minimum
investment requirements. A Systematic Exchange Program is described under
"Additional Investor Services."
If you exchange shares that were purchased subject to a CDSC, the CDSC will
continue to apply following the exchange. In determining the CDSC applicable to
shares being sold after an exchange, we will take into account the length of
time you held those shares prior to the exchange. Your CDSC schedule will not
change if you exchange Class C or Class II shares that you purchased prior to
December 1, 1998 for another Portfolio or fund's Class II shares (which
currently have a longer CDSC schedule).
To protect the interests of other shareholders, we may cancel the exchange
privileges of any investors that, in the opinion of the Fund, are using market
timing strategies or making excessive exchanges. A Portfolio may change or
cancel its exchange privilege at any time, upon 60 days' written notice to its
shareholders. A Portfolio may also refuse any exchange order.
CERTIFICATED SHARES. Most shares are electronically recorded. If you wish to
have certificates for your shares, please call Shareholder/Dealer Services at
1-800-858-8850, extension 5125 for further information. You may sell or exchange
certificated shares only by returning the certificates to the Portfolios, along
with a letter of instruction and a signature guarantee. The Portfolios do not
issue certificates for fractional shares.
MULTI-PARTY CHECKS. The Fund may agree to accept a "multi-party check" in
payment for Fund shares. This is a check made payable to the investor by another
party and then endorsed over to the Fund by the investor. If you use a
multi-party check to purchase shares, you may experience processing delays. In
addition, the Fund is not responsible for verifying the authenticity of any
endorsement and assumes no liability for any losses resulting from a fraudulent
endorsement.
ADDITIONAL INVESTOR SERVICES
To select one or more of these additional services, complete the relevant
part(s) of the Supplemental Account Application. To add a service to an existing
account, contact your broker or financial advisor, or call Shareholder/Dealer
Services at 1-800-858-8850, extension 5125.
DOLLAR COST AVERAGING lets you make regular investments from your bank account
to any fund of your choice distributed by SunAmerica Capital Services, Inc. You
determine the frequency and amount of your investments, and you can terminate
your participation at any time.
SYSTEMATIC WITHDRAWAL PLAN may be used for routine bill payment or periodic
withdrawals from your account. To use:
o Make sure you have at least $5,000 worth of shares in your account.
o Make sure you are not planning to invest more money in this account
(buying shares during a period when you are also selling shares of the
same fund is not advantageous to you, because of sales charges).
o Specify the payee(s) and amount(s). The payee may be yourself or any
other party, and there is no limit to the number of payees you may have,
as long as they are all on the same payment schedule. Each withdrawal
must be at least $50.
o Determine the schedule: monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, annually or
in certain selected months.
o Make sure your dividends and capital gains are being reinvested.
You cannot elect the systematic withdrawal plan if you have requested
certificates for your shares.
SYSTEMATIC EXCHANGE PROGRAM may be used to exchange shares of a Portfolio
periodically for the same class of shares of one or more other funds distributed
by SunAmerica Capital Services, Inc. To use:
o Specify the SunAmerica Mutual Fund(s) from which you would like money
withdrawn and into which you would like money invested.
o Determine the schedule: monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, annually or
in certain selected months.
o Specify the amount(s). Each exchange must be worth at least $25.
o Accounts must be registered identically; otherwise a signature guarantee
will be required.
ASSET PROTECTION PLAN (OPTIONAL). Anchor National Life Insurance Company offers
an Asset Protection Plan to certain investors in the Fund. The benefits of this
optional coverage payable at death will be related to the amounts paid to
purchase Fund shares and to the value of the Fund shares held for the benefit of
the insured persons. However, to the extent the purchased shares are redeemed
prior to death, coverage with respect to these shares will terminate.
Purchasers of the Asset Protection Plan are required to authorize periodic
redemptions of Fund shares to pay the premiums for this coverage. These
redemptions will not be subject to CDSCs, but will have the same tax
consequences as any other Fund redemptions.
The Asset Protection Plan will be available to eligible persons who enroll for
the coverage within a limited time period after shares in any Portfolio are
initially purchased or transferred. In addition, coverage cannot be made
available unless Anchor National knows for whose benefit shares are purchased.
For instance, coverage cannot be made available for shares registered in the
name of your broker unless the broker provides Anchor National with information
regarding the beneficial owners of the shares. In addition, coverage is
available only to shares purchased on behalf of natural persons between 21 and
75 years of age;
- -------------------
26
<PAGE>
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
coverage is not available with respect to shares purchased for a retirement
account. Other restrictions on the coverage apply. This coverage may not be
available in all states and may be subject to additional restrictions or
limitations. Purchasers of shares should also make themselves familiar with the
impact on the Asset Protection Plan coverage of purchasing additional shares,
reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions and redemptions.
Anchor National is a SunAmerica company.
Please call 1-800-858-8850 for more information, including the cost of the Asset
Protection Plan option.
RETIREMENT PLANS. SunAmerica Mutual Funds offer a range of qualified retirement
plans, including IRAs, Simple IRAs, Roth IRAs, SEPs, SARSEPs, 401(k) plans,
403(b) plans and other pension and profit-sharing plans. Using these plans, you
can invest in any SunAmerica Mutual Fund with a low minimum investment of $250
or, for some group plans, no minimum investment at all. To find out more, call
Retirement Plans at 1-800-858-8850, extension 5134.
DIVIDEND, DISTRIBUTION AND ACCOUNT POLICIES
ACCOUNT STATEMENTS. In general, you will receive account statements as follows:
o after every transaction that affects your account balance (except a
dividend reinvestment or automatic purchase from your bank account)
o after any changes of name or address of the registered owner(s)
o in all other circumstances, quarterly or annually, depending upon the
Portfolio
Every year you should also receive, if applicable, a Form 1099 tax information
statement, mailed by January 31.
DIVIDENDS. The Portfolios generally distribute most or all of their net earnings
in the form of dividends. Income dividends, if any, and capital gains
distributions, if any, are paid at least annually by the Portfolios.
DIVIDEND REINVESTMENTS. Your dividends and distributions, if any, will be
automatically reinvested in additional shares of the same Portfolio and share
class on which they were paid. Alternatively, dividends and distributions may be
reinvested in any fund distributed by SunAmerica Capital Services, Inc. or paid
in cash (if more than $10). You will need to complete the relevant part of the
Account Application to elect one of these other options. For existing accounts,
contact your broker or financial advisor or call Shareholder/Dealer Services at
1-800-858-8850, extension 5125 to change dividend and distribution payment
options.
TAXABILITY OF DIVIDENDS. As long as a Portfolio meets the requirements for being
a tax-qualified regulated investment company, which each Portfolio has in the
past and intends to in the future, it pays no federal income tax on the earnings
it distributes to shareholders.
Dividends you receive from the Portfolio, whether reinvested or taken as cash,
are generally considered taxable. The Portfolio intends to make distributions
that may be taxed as ordinary income and capital gains (which may be taxable at
different rates depending on the length of time the Portfolio holds its assets).
Some dividends paid in January may be taxable as if they had been paid the
previous December. Corporations may be entitled to take a dividends-received
deduction for a portion of certain dividends they receive.
The Form 1099 that is mailed to you every January details your dividends and
their federal tax category, although you should verify your tax liability with
your tax professional.
"BUYING INTO A DIVIDEND." You should note that if you purchase shares just
before a distribution, you will be taxed for that distribution like other
shareholders, even though that distribution represents simply a return of part
of your investment. You may wish to defer your purchase until after the record
date for the distribution, so as to avoid this tax impact.
TAXABILITY OF TRANSACTIONS. Any time you sell or exchange shares, it is
considered a taxable event for you. Depending on the purchase price and the sale
price of the shares you sell or exchange, you may have a gain or a loss on the
transaction. You are responsible for any tax liabilities generated by your
transactions. If you hold Class B shares, you will not have a taxable event when
they convert into Class A shares.
OTHER TAX CONSIDERATIONS. If you are not a lawful permanent resident or a
citizen of the U.S. or if you are a foreign entity, ordinary income dividends
paid to you (which include distributions of net short-term capital gains) will
generally be subject to a 30% U.S. withholding tax, unless a lower treaty rate
applies.
By law, each Portfolio must withhold 31% of your distributions and proceeds if
you have not provided a taxpayer identification number or social security
number.
This section summarizes some of the consequences under current federal tax law
of an investment in a Portfolio. It is not a substitute for professional tax
advice. Consult your tax advisor about the potential tax consequences of an
investment in a Portfolio under all applicable laws.
SMALL ACCOUNTS. If you draw down an account so that its total value is less than
$500 ($250 for retirement plan accounts), you may be asked to purchase more
shares within 60 days. If you do not take action, the Fund may close out your
account and mail you the proceeds. Alternatively, you may be charged a $2.00
monthly charge to maintain your account. Your account will not be closed if its
drop in value is due to Portfolio performance or the effects of sales charges.

INVESTMENT TERMINOLOGY
GROWTH OF CAPITAL is growth of the value of an
investment.
ACTIVE TRADING means that a Portfolio may engage in
frequent trading of portfolio securities to achieve
its investment goal. In addition, because a Portfolio
may sell a security without regard to how long it has
held the security, active trading may have tax
consequences for certain shareholders, involving a
possible increase in short-term capital gains or
losses. Active trading may result in high portfolio
turnover and correspondingly greater brokerage
commissions and other transaction costs, which will be
borne directly by a Portfolio. During periods of
increased market volatility, active trading may be
more pronounced.
EQUITY SECURITIES include common and preferred stocks,
convertible securities, warrants and rights.
CONVERTIBLE SECURITIES are bonds or preferred stocks
that may be exchanged for common stock of the same or
a different company.
LARGE-CAP COMPANIES are those with market caps within
the Morningstar, Inc. Large-Cap category, as described
on page 2. Currently, this range is $9.5 billion or
higher.
MID-CAP COMPANIES are those with market caps within
the Morningstar, Inc. Mid-Cap category, as described
on page 2. Currently, this range is between $1.5
billion and $9.5 billion.
SMALL-CAP COMPANIES are those with market caps within
the Morningstar, Inc. Small-Cap category, as described
on page 2. Currently, this range is $1.5 billion or
less.
SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS include money market securities
such as short-term U.S. government obligations,
repurchase agreements, commercial paper, bankers'
acceptances and certificates of deposit. These
securities provide a Portfolio with sufficient
liquidity to meet redemptions and cover expenses.
DEFENSIVE INVESTMENTS include high quality fixed
income securities and money market instruments. A
Portfolio will make temporary defensive investments in
response to adverse market, economic, political or
other conditions. When a Portfolio takes a defensive
position, it may miss out on investment opportunities
that could have resulted from investing in accordance
with its principal investment strategy. As a result, a
Portfolio may not achieve its investment goal.
FOREIGN SECURITIES are issued by companies located
outside of the United States, including emerging
markets. Foreign securities may include American
Depositary Receipts (ADRS) or other similar securities
that convert into foreign securities, such as European
Depositary Receipts (EDRS) and Global Depositary
Receipts (GDRS).
It may be necessary under certain foreign laws, less
expensive, or more expedient to invest in FOREIGN
INVESTMENT COMPANIES, which invest in certain foreign
markets, including emerging markets. Investing through
such vehicles may involve frequent or layered fees or
expenses, and the Advisers will not invest in such
investment companies unless, in their judgment, the
potential benefits justify the payment of any
associated fees and expenses.
CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS include the purchase and sale of
currencies to facilitate securities transactions and
forward currency contracts, which are used to hedge
against changes in currency exchange rates.
A DERIVATIVE instrument is a contract, such as an
option or a future, whose value is based on the
performance of an underlying asset.
OPTIONS AND FUTURES are contracts involving the right
to receive or obligation to deliver assets or money
depending on the performance of one or more underlying
financial instruments.
A SPECIAL SITUATION arises when, in the opinion of the
Adviser, the securities of a particular issuer will be
recognized and appreciated in value due to a specific
development with respect to that issuer. Developments
creating a special situation might include, among
others, a new product or process, a technological
breakthrough, a management change or other
extraordinary corporate event, or differences in
market supply of and demand for the security.
Investments in special situations may carry an
additional risk of loss in the event that the
anticipated development does not occur or does not
attract the expected attention.
LARGE-CAP COMPANIES AND MID-CAP COMPANIES generally have a substantial record
of operations (i.e., in business for at least five years) and are listed for
trading on the New York Stock Exchange or another national or international
stock exchange or, in some cases, are traded over the counter. SMALL-CAP
COMPANIES generally will be companies that have been in business for a shorter
period of time.

RISK TERMINOLOGY
MARKET VOLATILITY: The stock and/or bond markets as a whole could go up or down
(sometimes dramatically). This could affect the value of the securities in a
Portfolio's portfolio.
SECURITIES SELECTION: A strategy used by a Portfolio, or securities selected by
its Adviser, may fail to produce the intended return.
SMALL MARKET CAPITALIZATION: Companies with smaller market capitalizations tend
to be at early stages of development with limited product lines, market access
for products, financial resources, access to new capital, or depth in
management. It may be difficult to obtain reliable information and financial
data about these companies. Consequently, the securities of smaller companies
may not be as readily marketable and may be subject to more abrupt or erratic
market movements.
TECHNOLOGY COMPANIES: The industries in which technology companies may be found
can be significantly affected by short product cycles, aggressive pricing of
products and services, competition from new market entrants, worldwide
scientific and technological developments and changes in governmental regulation
and policies.
NON-DIVERSIFICATION: By concentrating in a smaller number of stocks, a
Portfolio's risk is increased because the effect of each stock on the
Portfolio's performance is greater.
FOREIGN EXPOSURE: Investors in foreign countries are subject to a number of
risks. A principal risk is that fluctuations in the exchange rates between the
U.S. dollar and foreign currencies may negatively affect an investment. In
addition, there may be less publicly available information about a foreign
company and it may not be subject to the same uniform accounting, auditing and
financial reporting standards as U.S. companies. Foreign governments may not
regulate securities markets and companies to the same degree as the U.S.
government. Foreign investments will also be affected by local political or
economic developments and governmental actions. Consequently, foreign securities
may be less liquid, more volatile and more difficult to price than U.S.
securities. These risks are heightened when the issuer is in an emerging market.
CURRENCY VOLATILITY: The value of a Portfolio's foreign portfolio investments
may fluctuate due to changes in currency rates. A decline in the value of
foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar generally can be expected to
depress the value of the Portfolio's non-dollar securities.
DERIVATIVES: Derivatives are subject to general risks relating to heightened
sensitivity to market volatility, interest rate fluctuations, illiquidity and
creditworthiness of the counterparty to the derivatives transactions.
HEDGING: Hedging is a strategy in which the Adviser uses a derivative security
to reduce certain risk characteristics of an underlying security or portfolio of
securities. While hedging strategies can be very useful and inexpensive ways of
reducing risk, they are sometimes ineffective due to unexpected changes in the
market or exchange rates. Moreover, while hedging can reduce or eliminate
losses, it can also reduce or eliminate gains.
EMERGING MARKETS: An emerging market country is one that the World Bank, the
International Finance Corporation or the United Nations or its authorities has
determined to have a low or middle income economy. Historical experience
indicates that the markets of emerging market countries have been more volatile
than more developed markets; however, such markets can provide higher rates of
return to investors.

FUND MANAGEMENT
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MANAGER. SunAmerica Asset Management Corp. selects the Advisers for the
Portfolios, may manage certain portions of Portfolios, provides various
administrative services, and supervises the daily business affairs of each
Portfolio. The Advisers are responsible for decisions to buy and sell securities
for the Portfolios, selection of broker-dealers and negotiation of commission
rates for their respective portion of the relevant Portfolio. SunAmerica may
terminate any agreement with an Adviser without shareholder approval. Moreover,
SunAmerica has received an exemptive order from the Securities and Exchange
Commission that permits SunAmerica, subject to certain conditions, to enter into
agreements relating to the Fund with Advisers approved by the Board of Directors
without obtaining shareholder approval. The exemptive order also permits
SunAmerica, subject to the approval of the Board but without shareholder
approval, to employ new Advisers for new or existing Portfolios, change the
terms of particular agreements with Advisers or continue the employment of
existing Advisers after events that would otherwise cause an automatic
termination of a subadvisory agreement. Shareholders of a Portfolio have the
right to terminate an agreement with an Adviser for that Portfolio at any time
by a vote of the majority of the outstanding voting securities of such
Portfolio. Shareholders will be notified of any Adviser changes. The order also
permits the Fund to disclose to shareholders the Advisers' fees only in the
aggregate for each Portfolio. For the fiscal year ended October 31, 1999, each
Portfolio paid SunAmerica a fee equal to 1.00% of average daily net assets
except the International Equity Portfolio, which paid a fee equal to 1.10% of
average daily net assets, and the Focus Portfolio, which paid a fee equal to
0.85% of average daily net assets. The annual rate of the investment advisory
fee of the Focused TechNet Portfolio payable to SunAmerica is 1.25% of its
average daily net assets.
SunAmerica, located in the SunAmerica Center, 733 Third Avenue, New York, New
York 10017, was organized in 1982 under the laws of Delaware, and managed,
advised or administered assets in excess of $27 billion as of December 31, 1999.
In addition to managing the Portfolios, SunAmerica serves as adviser, manager
and/or administrator for Anchor Pathway Fund, Anchor Series Trust, Brazos Mutual
Funds, Seasons Series Trust, SunAmerica Equity Funds, SunAmerica Income Funds,
SunAmerica Money Market Funds, Inc., SunAmerica Series Trust and SunAmerica
Strategic Investment Series, Inc.
With the exception of the International Equity Portfolio and Focused Growth and
Income Portfolio, each of which has two different professional Advisers, each
Portfolio provides investors with access to three different professional
Advisers, each with a distinct investment methodology within a particular
investment style. Each Adviser manages a separate portion of a Portfolio.
SunAmerica Asset Management Corp. ("SunAmerica") is the Portfolios' investment
manager and will initially allocate the assets of each Portfolio equally among
the Advisers. SunAmerica will also allocate new cash from share purchases and
redemption requests equally among the Advisers, unless SunAmerica determines,
subject to the review of the Board, that a different allocation of assets would
be in the best interests of the Portfolio and its shareholders.
With respect to each Portfolio except the Focus Portfolio, SunAmerica intends,
on a quarterly basis, to review the asset allocation in each Portfolio to ensure
that no portion of assets managed by an Adviser exceeds that portion managed by
any other Adviser to the Portfolio by more than 5%. If such a condition exists,
SunAmerica will then re-allocate cash flows among the Advisers, differently from
the manner described above, in an effort to reflect a re-balancing of the
Portfolio's asset allocation. SunAmerica does not intend, but reserves the
right, subject to the review of the Board, to reallocate assets from one Adviser
to another when it would be in the best interests of the Portfolio and its
shareholders to do so. In some instances, the effect of the reallocation will be
to shift assets from a better performing Adviser to a portion of the Portfolio
with a relatively lower total return.
With respect to the Focus Portfolio, in general, SunAmerica will not rebalance
or reallocate the assets of the Portfolio among Advisers. However, SunAmerica
reserves the right, subject to the review of the Board, to reallocate assets
from one Adviser to another when it would be in the best interests of the
Portfolio and its shareholders to do so. In some instances, where a reallocation
results in any rebalancing of the Portfolio from a previous allocation, the
effect of the reallocation will be to shift assets from a better performing
Adviser to a portion of the Portfolio with a relatively lower total return.
DISTRIBUTOR. SunAmerica Capital Services, Inc. distributes each Portfolio's
shares. The Distributor, a SunAmerica company, receives the initial and deferred
sales charges, all or a portion of which may be re-allowed to other
broker-dealers. In addition, the Distributor receives fees under each
Portfolio's 12b-1 plans.
The Distributor, at its expense, may from time to time provide additional
compensation to broker-dealers (including in some instances, affiliates of the
Distributor) in connection with sales of shares of a Portfolio. This
compensation may include (i) full re-allowance of the front-end sales charge on
Class A shares; (ii) additional compensation with respect to the sale of Class
A, Class B or Class II shares; or (iii) financial assistance to broker-dealers
in connection with conferences, sales or training programs for their employees,
seminars for the public, advertising campaigns regarding one or more of the
Portfolios, and/or other broker-dealer sponsored special events. In some
instances, this compensation will be made available only to certain
broker-dealers whose representatives have sold a significant number of shares of
the Portfolio. Compensation may also include payment for travel expenses,
including lodging, incurred in connection with trips taken by invited registered
representatives for meetings or seminars of a business nature. In addition, the
following types of non-cash compensation may be offered through sales contests:
(i) travel mileage on major air carriers; (ii) tickets for entertainment events
(such as concerts or sporting events); or (iii) merchandise (such as clothing,
trophies, clocks, pens or other electronic equipment). Broker-dealers may not
use sales of the Portfolios' shares to qualify for this compensation to the
extent receipt of such compensation may be prohibited by applicable law or the
rules of any self-regulatory agency, such as the National Association of
Securities Dealers, Inc. Dealers who receive bonuses or other incentives may be
deemed to be underwriters under the Securities Act of 1933.
ADMINISTRATOR. SunAmerica Fund Services, Inc. assists the Portfolios' transfer
agent in providing shareholder services. The Administrator, a SunAmerica
company, is paid a monthly fee by each Fund for its services at the annual rate
of .22% of average daily net assets.
SunAmerica, the Distributor and Administrator are all located in The SunAmerica
Center, 733 Third Avenue, New York, New York 10017.

The following questions and answers are designed to
give you an overview of SunAmerica Style Select
Series, Inc. (the "Fund"), and to provide you with
information about three of the Fund's separate
Portfolios and their investment goals, principal
strategies, and principal investment techniques.
Each goal may be changed without shareholder
approval, although you will receive notice of any
change. There can be no assurance that any
Portfolio's investment goal will be met or that the
net return on an investment in a Portfolio will
exceed what could have been obtained through other
investment or savings vehicles. More complete
investment information is provided in chart form,
under "More Information About the Portfolios,"
which is on page 18, and the glossary that follows
on page 20.

</TABLE>
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE FOCUSED TECHNET
PORTFOLIO'S PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT TECHNIQUES
The Portfolio will invest in up to thirty companies
whose principal businesses the Advisers believe
will significantly benefit from advances or
improvements in technology ("technology
companies"). Technology companies include companies
in many industries that rely extensively on
technology in their product development or
operations, are expected to benefit from
technological advances and improvements, or may be
experiencing growth in sales and earnings driven by
technology related research, products or services.
The broad industry categories in which technology
companies may be found include computer software
and hardware, network and capital broadcasting,
internet and internet-related businesses, the
development, production, sale, and distribution of
goods or services used in the broadcast and media
industries, communications services or equipment,
the design, manufacture, or sale of electric
components, defense and data storage and retrieval,
healthcare and biotechnology. The relative size of
the Portfolio's investment within these industries
will vary from time to time, and at times, one of
these industries may not be represented in the
Portfolio's holdings.
The Portfolio will significantly invest, under
normal market conditions, in internet and internet-
related businesses. These companies include
e-commerce enterprises as well as those that
develop services and products for the internet. The
Advisers may rotate the Portfolio's holdings out of
internet or internet-related companies for
temporary defensive purposes or, if market
conditions warrant.
MARKET CAPITALIZATION RANGES
Companies are determined to be large-cap companies,
mid-cap companies or small-cap companies based upon
the market capitalization range prescribed by the
Style Box category designed by Morningstar, Inc.
Morningstar, Inc. may change the Style Box market
capitalization range over time as market conditions
and broad market valuations vary. The Portfolios'
market capitalization ranges will change as the
Morningstar categories vary. Currently, the market
capitalization ranges are as follow: $1.5 billion
or less for the Small-Cap Category; between $1.5
billion and $9.5 billion for the Mid-Cap category;
and $9.5 billion or more for the Large-Cap
Category. Also, the median market capitalization of
the companies within the Portfolio will fall within
its applicable range.
<PAGE>
A FOCUS strategy is one in which an Adviser actively invests in a small number
of holdings which constitute its favorite stock-picking ideas at any given
moment. A focus philosophy reflects the belief that, over time, the performance
of most investment managers' "highest confidence" stocks exceeds that of their
more diversified portfolios. Each FOCUS PORTFOLIO Adviser, FOCUSED TECHNET
PORTFOLIO Adviser and FOCUSED VALUE PORTFOLIO Adviser will invest in ten
stocks, while each FOCUSED GROWTH AND INCOME PORTFOLIO Adviser may invest in up
to 30 stocks. Each Adviser may purchase additional financial instruments for
the purposes of cash management or to hedge a security in the Portfolio.
When deemed appropriate by an Adviser, a Portfolio may engage in ACTIVE TRADING
when it frequently trades its portfolio securities to achieve its investment
goal.
The "GROWTH" ORIENTED philosophy to which the Focus and Focused Growth and
Income Portfolios subscribe--that of investing in securities believed to offer
the potential for capital appreciation--focuses on securities considered to
have a historical record of above-average growth rate; to have significant
growth potential; to have above-average earnings growth or value or the ability
to sustain earnings growth; to offer proven or unusual products or services; or
to operate in industries experiencing increasing demand.
The "VALUE" ORIENTED philosophy to which the Focused Value Portfolio subscribes
and the Focused Growth and Income Portfolio partly subscribes--that of
investing in securities believed to be undervalued in the market--reflects a
contrarian approach, in that the potential for superior relative performance is
believed to be highest when stocks of fundamentally solid companies are out of
favor. The selection criteria is usually calculated to identify stocks of
companies with solid financial strength that have low price-earnings ratios and
may have generally been overlooked by the market.
MARKET CAPITALIZATION represents the total market value of the outstanding
securities of a corporation. For specific market capitalization ranges, see
page 20.

Q: WHAT ARE THE PRINCIPAL RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE PORTFOLIOS?
A: The following section describes the principal risks of each Portfolio, while
the chart on page 18 describes various additional risks.
RISKS OF INVESTING IN EQUITY SECURITIES
Both of the Portfolios invest primarily in equity securities. As with any
equity fund, the value of your investment in any of these Portfolios may
fluctuate in response to stock market movements. You should be aware that
the performance of different types of equity stocks may decline under
varying market conditions--for example, "growth" stocks may perform well
under circumstances in which "value" stocks in general have fallen. In
addition, individual stocks selected for any of these Portfolios may
underperform the market generally.
RISKS OF INVESTING IN TECHNOLOGY COMPANIES
Technology companies may react similarly to certain market pressures and
events. They may be significantly affected by short product cycles,
aggressive pricing of products and services, competition from new market
entrants, and obsolescence of existing technology. As a result, the
Portfolio's returns may be considerably more volatile than a fund that does
not invest in technology companies.
RISKS OF NON-DIVERSIFICATION
Each Portfolio is non-diversified, which means that it can invest a larger
portion of its assets in the stock of a single company than can some other
mutual funds; by concentrating in a smaller number of stocks, the
Portfolio's risk is increased because the effect of each stock on the
Portfolio's performance is greater.
RISKS OF INVESTING IN SMALL COMPANIES
Stocks of smaller companies may be more volatile than, and not as readily
marketable as, those of larger companies.
ADDITIONAL PRINCIPAL RISKS
Shares of the Portfolios are not bank deposits and are not guaranteed or
insured by any bank or SunAmerica or SunAmerica's affiliates, government
entity or the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. As with any mutual
fund, there is no guarantee that a Portfolio will be able to achieve its
investment goals. If the value of the assets of a Portfolio goes down, you
could lose money.
Q: HOW HAVE THE PORTFOLIOS PERFORMED HISTORICALLY?
A: The following Risk/Return Bar Charts and Tables illustrate the risks of
investing in the Focused Growth and Income Portfolio by showing changes in
the Portfolio's performance from calendar year to calendar year, and compare
the Portfolios' average annual returns to those of an appropriate market
index. Sales charges are not reflected in the bar chart. If these amounts
were reflected, returns would be less than those shown. Of course, past
performance is not necessarily an indication of how a Portfolio will perform
in the future. Performance information for the Focused TechNet Portfolio and
the Focused Value Portfolio is not shown because neither have been in
operation for a full calendar year.

(1) The front-end sales charge on Class A shares decreases with the size of the
purchase to 0% for purchases of $1 million or more.
(2) Purchases of Class A shares over $1 million will be subject to a contingent
deferred sales charge (CDSC) on redemptions made within two years of
purchase. The CDSC on Class B shares applies only if shares are redeemed
within six years of their purchase. The CDSC on Class II shares applies only
if shares are redeemed within eighteen months of their purchase. See page 10
for more information about the CDSCs.
(3) A $15.00 fee may be imposed on wire redemptions.
(4) Because these fees are paid out of a Portfolio's assets on an on-going
basis, over time these fees will increase the cost of your investment and
may cost you more than paying other types of sales charges.
(5) The Board of Directors, including a majority of the Independent Directors,
approved the Investment Advisory and Management Agreement subject to the net
expense ratio set forth above. SunAmerica may not increase such ratios,
which are contractually required by agreement with the Board of Directors,
without the approval of the Directors, including a majority of the
Independent Directors. The expense waivers and fee reimbursements will
continue indefinitely, subject to termination by the Directors, including a
majority of the Independent Directors.

EXAMPLE
This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the
Portfolios with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in a Portfolio for the time periods
indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The
Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the
Portfolio's operating expenses remain the same. Although your actual costs may
be higher or lower, based on these assumptions and the net expenses shown in the
fee table your costs would be:

SHAREHOLDER ACCOUNT INFORMATION
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SELECTING A SHARE CLASS
Each Portfolio offers three classes of shares through this Prospectus: Class A,
Class B and Class II shares.
Each class of shares has its own cost structure, so you can choose the one best
suited to your investment needs. Your broker or financial advisor can help you
determine which class is right for you.
CLASS A
o Front-end sales charges, as described below. There are several ways to reduce
these charges, also described below.
o Lower annual expenses than Class B or Class II shares.
CLASS B
o No front-end sales charge; all your money goes to work for you right away.
o Higher annual expenses than Class A shares.
o Deferred sales charge on shares you sell within six years of purchase, as
described below.
o Automatic conversion to Class A shares approximately one year after such time
that no CDSC would be payable upon redemption, as described below, thus
reducing future annual expenses.
CLASS II
o Front-end sales charge, as described below.
o Higher annual expenses than Class A shares.
o Deferred sales charge on shares you sell within eighteen months of purchase,
as described below.
o No conversion to Class A.

within one year of purchase and a 0.50% CDSC is charged on shares you sell after
the first year and within the second year after purchase.
CLASS B. Shares are offered at their net asset value per share, without any
initial sales charge. However, there is a CDSC on shares you sell within six
years of buying them. The longer the time between the purchase and the sale of
shares, the lower the rate of the CDSC:

There is also a CDSC of 1% on shares you sell within 18 months after you buy
them.
DETERMINATION OF CDSC: Each CDSC is based on the original purchase cost or the
current market value of the shares being sold, whichever is less. There is no
CDSC on shares you purchase through reinvestment of dividends. To keep your CDSC
as low as possible, each time you place a request to sell shares we will first
sell any shares in your account that are not subject to a CDSC. If there are not
enough of these shares available, we will sell shares that have the lowest CDSC.
For purposes of the CDSC, we count all purchases you make during a calendar
month as having been made on the FIRST day of that month.

SALES CHARGE REDUCTIONS AND WAIVERS
WAIVERS FOR CERTAIN INVESTORS. Various individuals and institutions may purchase
CLASS A shares without front-end sales charges, including:
o financial planners, institutions, broker-dealer representatives or
registered investment advisers utilizing Fund shares in fee-based
investment products under an agreement with the Distributor (this waiver
may also apply to front-end sales charges of Class II shares)
o participants in certain retirement plans that meet applicable
conditions, as described in the Statement of Additional Information
o Fund Directors and other individuals who are affiliated with any
Portfolio or other SunAmerica Mutual Funds and their families
o selling brokers and their employees and sales representatives and their
families
o participants in "Net Asset Value Transfer Program"
We will generally waive the CDSC for CLASS B or CLASS II shares in the following
cases:
o within one year of the shareholder's death or becoming disabled
o taxable distributions or loans to participants made by qualified
retirement plans or retirement accounts (not including rollovers) for
which SunAmerica Fund Services, Inc. serves as a fiduciary
o Fund Directors and other individuals who are affiliated with any
Portfolio or other SunAmerica Mutual Funds and their families
o to make payments through the Systematic Withdrawal Plan (subject to
certain conditions)
o participants in "Net Asset Value Transfer Program"
REDUCING YOUR CLASS A SALES CHARGES. There are several special purchase plans
that allow you to combine multiple purchases of Class A shares of SunAmerica
Mutual Funds to take advantage of the breakpoints in the sales charge schedule.
For information about the "Rights of Accumulation," "Letter of Intent,"
"Combined Purchase Privilege," and "Reduced Sales Charges for Group Purchases,"
contact your broker or financial advisor, or consult the Statement of Additional
Information.
To utilize: if you think you may be eligible for a sales charge reduction or
CDSC waiver, contact your broker or financial advisor.
REINSTATEMENT PRIVILEGE. If you sell shares of the Portfolio, you may invest
some or all of the proceeds in the same share class of the Portfolio within one
year without a sales charge. If you paid a CDSC when you sold your shares, we
will credit your account with the dollar amount of the CDSC at the time of sale.
This may impact the amount of gain or loss recognized on the previous sale, for
tax purposes. All accounts involved must be registered in the same name(s).
DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE (12B-1) FEES
Each class of shares of the Portfolio has its own 12b-1 plan that provides for
distribution and account maintenance and service fees (payable to the
Distributor) based on a percentage of average daily net assets, as follows:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
ACCOUNT MAINTENANCE AND
CLASS DISTRIBUTION FEE SERVICE FEE
<S> <C> <C>
A 0.10% 0.25%
B 0.75% 0.25%
II 0.75% 0.25%
</TABLE>
Because 12b-1 fees are paid out of the Portfolio's assets on an ongoing basis,
over time these fees will increase the cost of your investment and may cost you

SHAREHOLDER ACCOUNT INFORMATION
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SELLING SHARES IN WRITING. In certain circumstances, you will need to make your
request to sell shares in writing. Corporations, executors, administrators,
trustees or guardians may need to include additional items with a request to
sell shares. You may also need to include a signature guarantee, which protects
you against fraudulent orders. You will need a signature guarantee if:
o your address of record has changed within the past 30 days
o you are selling more than $100,000 worth of shares
o you are requesting payment other than by a check mailed to the address
of record and payable to the registered owner(s)
You can generally obtain a signature guarantee from the following sources:
o a broker or securities dealer
o a federal savings, cooperative or other type of bank
o a savings and loan or other thrift institution
o a credit union
o a securities exchange or clearing agency
A notary public CANNOT provide a signature guarantee.
TRANSACTION POLICIES
VALUATION OF SHARES. The net asset value per share (NAV) for each Portfolio and
class is determined each business day at the close of regular trading on the New
York Stock Exchange (generally 4:00 p.m., Eastern time) by dividing the net
assets of each class by the number of such class's outstanding shares.
Investments for which market quotations are readily available are valued at
market at their price as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock
Exchange for the day. All other securities and assets are valued at fair value
following procedures approved by the Directors.
BUY AND SELL PRICES. When you buy shares, you pay the NAV plus any applicable
sales charges, as described earlier. When you sell shares, you receive the NAV
minus any applicable CDSCs.
EXECUTION OF REQUESTS. Each Portfolio is open on those days when the New York
Stock Exchange is open for regular trading. We execute buy and sell requests at
the next NAV to be calculated after the Fund receives your request in good
order. If the Fund or the Distributor receives your order before the Portfolio's
close of business (generally 4:00 p.m., Eastern time), you will receive that
day's closing price. If the Fund or the Distributor receives your order after
that time, you will receive the next business day's closing price. If you place
your order through a broker or financial advisor, you should make sure the order
is transmitted to the Portfolio before its close of business. The Fund and the
Distributor reserve the right to reject any order to buy shares.
During periods of extreme volatility or market crisis, a Portfolio may
temporarily suspend the processing of sell requests, or may postpone payment of
proceeds for up to three business days or longer, as allowed by federal
securities laws.
Each Portfolio may invest to a large extent in securities that are primarily
listed on foreign exchanges that trade on weekends or other days when the Fund
does not price its shares. As a result, the value of this Portfolio's shares may
change on days when you will not be able to purchase or redeem your shares.
If the Fund determines that it would be detrimental to the best interests of the
remaining shareholders of the Fund to make payment of redemption proceeds wholly
or partly in cash, the Fund may pay the redemption price by a distribution in
kind of securities from the Fund in lieu of cash. However, the Focus Portfolio
and the Focused Growth and Income Portfolio have each made an election which
requires payment of redemption proceeds in cash.
At various times, the Fund may be requested to redeem shares for which it has
not yet received good payment. The Fund may delay or cause to be delayed the
mailing of a redemption check until such time as good payment (e.g., cash or
certified check drawn on a United States bank) has been collected for the
purchase of such shares, which will not exceed 15 days.
TELEPHONE TRANSACTIONS. For your protection, telephone requests are recorded in
order to verify their accuracy. In addition, Shareholder/Dealer Services will
take measures to verify the identity of the caller, such as asking for name,
account number, social security or other taxpayer ID number and other relevant
information. If appropriate measures are not taken, the Fund is responsible for
any losses that may occur to any account due to an unauthorized telephone call.
Also for your protection, telephone transactions are not permitted on accounts
whose names or addresses have changed within the past 30 days. At times of peak
activity, it may be difficult to place requests by phone. During these times,
consider sending your request in writing.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EXCHANGES. You may exchange shares of a Portfolio for shares of the same class
of any other fund distributed by SunAmerica Capital Services, Inc. Before making
an exchange, you should review a copy of the prospectus of the fund into which
you would like to exchange. All exchanges are subject to applicable minimum
investment requirements. A Systematic Exchange Program is described under
"Additional Investor Services."
If you exchange shares that were purchased subject to a CDSC, the CDSC will
continue to apply following the exchange. In determining the CDSC applicable to
shares being sold after an exchange, we will take into account the length of
time you held those shares prior to the exchange. Your CDSC schedule will not
change if you exchange Class C or Class II shares that you purchased prior to
December 1, 1998 for another Portfolio or fund's Class II shares (which
currently have a longer CDSC schedule).
To protect the interests of other shareholders, we may cancel the exchange
privileges of any investors that, in the opinion of the Fund, are using market
timing strategies or making excessive exchanges. A Portfolio may change or
cancel its exchange privilege at any time, upon 60 days' written notice to its
shareholders. A Portfolio may also refuse any exchange order.
CERTIFICATED SHARES. Most shares are electronically recorded. If you wish to
have certificates for your shares, please call Shareholder/Dealer Services at
1-800-858-8850, extension 5125 for further information. You may sell or exchange
certificated shares only by returning the certificates to the Portfolios, along
with a letter of instruction and a signature guarantee. The Portfolios do not
issue certificates for fractional shares.
MULTI-PARTY CHECKS. The Fund may agree to accept a "multi-party check" in
payment for Fund shares. This is a check made payable to the investor by another
party and then endorsed over to the Fund by the investor. If you use a
multi-party check to purchase shares, you may experience processing delays. In
addition, the Fund is not responsible for verifying the authenticity of any
endorsement and assumes no liability for any losses resulting from a fraudulent
endorsement.
ADDITIONAL INVESTOR SERVICES
To select one or more of these additional services, complete the relevant
part(s) of the Supplemental Account Application. To add a service to an existing
account, contact your broker or financial advisor, or call Shareholder/Dealer
Services at 1-800-858-8850, extension 5125.
DOLLAR COST AVERAGING lets you make regular investments from your bank account
to any fund of your choice distributed by SunAmerica Capital Services, Inc. You
determine the frequency and amount of your investments, and you can terminate
your participation at any time.
SYSTEMATIC WITHDRAWAL PLAN may be used for routine bill payment or periodic
withdrawals from your account. To use:
o Make sure you have at least $5,000 worth of shares in your account.
o Make sure you are not planning to invest more money in this account
(buying shares during a period when you are also selling shares of the
same fund is not advantageous to you, because of sales charges).
o Specify the payee(s) and amount(s). The payee may be yourself or any
other party, and there is no limit to the number of payees you may
have, as long as they are all on the same payment schedule. Each
withdrawal must be at least $50.
o Determine the schedule: monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, annually or
in certain selected months.
o Make sure your dividends and capital gains are being reinvested.
You cannot elect the systematic withdrawal plan if you have requested
certificates for your shares.
SYSTEMATIC EXCHANGE PROGRAM may be used to exchange shares of a Portfolio
periodically for the same class of shares of one or more other funds distributed
by SunAmerica Capital Services, Inc. To use:
o Specify the SunAmerica Mutual Fund(s) from which you would like money
withdrawn and into which you would like money invested.
o Determine the schedule: monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, annually or
in certain selected months.
o Specify the amount(s). Each exchange must be worth at least $25.
o Accounts must be registered identically; otherwise a signature
guarantee will be required.

SHAREHOLDER ACCOUNT INFORMATION

ASSET PROTECTION PLAN (OPTIONAL). Anchor National Life Insurance Company offers
an Asset Protection Plan to certain investors in the Fund. The benefits of this
optional coverage payable at death will be related to the amounts paid to
purchase Fund shares and to the value of the Fund shares held for the benefit of
the insured persons. However, to the extent the purchased shares are redeemed
prior to death, coverage with respect to these shares will terminate.
Purchasers of the Asset Protection Plan are required to authorize periodic
redemptions of Fund shares to pay the premiums for this coverage. These
redemptions will not be subject to CDSCs, but will have the same tax
consequences as any other Fund redemptions.
The Asset Protection Plan will be available to eligible persons who enroll for
the coverage within a limited time period after shares in any Portfolio are
initially purchased or transferred. In addition, coverage cannot be made
available unless Anchor National knows for whose benefit shares are purchased.
For instance, coverage cannot be made available for shares registered in the
name of your broker unless the broker provides Anchor National with information
regarding the beneficial owners of the shares. In addition, coverage is
available only to shares purchased on behalf of natural persons between 21 and
75 years of age; coverage is not available with respect to shares purchased for
a retirement account. Other restrictions on the coverage apply. This coverage
may not be available in all states and may be subject to additional restrictions
or limitations. Purchasers of shares should also make themselves familiar with
the impact on the Asset Protection Plan coverage of purchasing additional
shares, reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions and
redemptions.
Anchor National is a SunAmerica company.
Please call 1-800-858-8850 for more information, including the cost of the Asset
Protection Plan option.
RETIREMENT PLANS. SunAmerica Mutual Funds offer a range of qualified retirement
plans, including IRAs, Simple IRAs, Roth IRAs, SEPs. SARSEPs, 401(k) plans,
403(b) plans and other pension and profit-sharing plans. Using these plans, you
can invest in any SunAmerica Mutual Fund with a low minimum investment of $250
or, for some group plans, no minimum investment at all. To find out more, call
Retirement Plans at 1-800-858-8850, extension 5134.
DIVIDEND, DISTRIBUTION AND ACCOUNT POLICIES
ACCOUNT STATEMENTS. In general, you will receive account statements as follows:
o after every transaction that affects your account balance (except a
dividend reinvestment or automatic purchase from your bank account)
o after any changes of name or address of the registered owner(s)
o in all other circumstances, quarterly or annually, depending upon the
Portfolio
Every year you should also receive, if applicable, a Form 1099 tax information
statement, mailed by January 31.
DIVIDENDS. The Portfolios generally distribute most or all of their net earnings
in the form of dividends. Income dividends, if any, are paid quarterly by the
Focused Growth and Income Portfolio and annually by the other Portfolios.
Capital gains distributions, if any, are paid annually by the Portfolios.
DIVIDEND REINVESTMENTS. Your dividends and distributions, if any, will be
automatically reinvested in additional shares of the same Portfolio and share
class on which they were paid. Alternatively, dividends and distributions may be
reinvested in any other SunAmerica Mutual Fund or paid in cash (if more than
$10). You will need to complete the relevant part of the Account Application to
elect one of these other options. For existing accounts, contact your broker or
financial advisor or call Shareholder/Dealer Services at 1-800-858-8850 to
change dividend and distribution payment options.
TAXABILITY OF DIVIDENDS. As long as a Portfolio meets the requirements for being
a tax-qualified regulated investment company, which each Portfolio has in the
past and intends to in the future, it pays no federal income tax on the earnings
it distributes to shareholders.
Dividends you receive from the Portfolio, whether reinvested or taken as cash,
are generally considered taxable. The Portfolio intends to make distributions
that may be taxed as ordinary income and capital gains (which may be taxable at
different rates depending on the length of time the Portfolio holds its assets).
Some dividends paid in January may be taxable as if they had been paid the
previous December. Corporations may be entitled to take a dividends-received
deduction for a portion of certain dividends they receive.
The Form 1099 that is mailed to you every January details your dividends and
their federal tax category, although you should verify your tax liability with
your tax professional.
-------------------
15
<PAGE>
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"BUYING INTO A DIVIDEND." You should note that if you purchase shares just
before a distribution, you will be taxed for that distribution like other
shareholders, even though that distribution represents simply a return of part
of your investment. You may wish to defer your purchase until after the record
date for the distribution, so as to avoid this tax impact.
TAXABILITY OF TRANSACTIONS. Any time you sell or exchange shares, it is
considered a taxable event for you. Depending on the purchase price and the sale
price of the shares you sell or exchange, you may have a gain or a loss on the
transaction. You are responsible for any tax liabilities generated by your
transactions. If you hold Class B shares, you will not have a taxable event when
they convert into Class A shares.
OTHER TAX CONSIDERATIONS. If you are not a lawful permanent resident or a
citizen of the U.S., or if you are a foreign entity, ordinary income dividends
paid to you (which include distributions of net short-term capital gains) will
generally be subject to a 30% U.S. withholding tax, unless a lower treaty rate
applies.
By law, each Portfolio must withhold 31% of your distributions and proceeds if
you have not provided a taxpayer identification number or social security
number.
This section summarizes some of the consequences under current federal tax law
of an investment in a Portfolio. It is not a substitute for professional tax
advice. Consult your tax advisor about the potential tax consequences of an
investment in a Fund under all applicable laws.
SMALL ACCOUNTS. If you draw down an account so that its total value is less than
$500 ($250 for retirement plan accounts), you may be asked to purchase more
shares within 60 days. If you do not take action, the Fund may close out your
account and mail you the proceeds. Alternatively, you may be charged a $2.00
monthly charge to maintain your account. Your account will not be closed if its
drop in value is due to Portfolio performance or the effects of sales charges.

INVESTMENT TERMINOLOGY
GROWTH OF CAPITAL is growth of the value of an
investment.
ACTIVE TRADING means that a Portfolio may engage in
frequent trading of portfolio securities to achieve
its investment goal. In addition, because a Portfolio
may sell a security without regard to how long it has
held the security, active trading may have tax
consequences for certain shareholders, involving a
possible increase in short-term capital gains or
losses. Active trading may result in high portfolio
turnover and correspondingly greater brokerage
commissions and other transaction costs, which will be
borne directly by a Portfolio. During periods of
increased market volatility, active trading may be
more pronounced.
EQUITY SECURITIES include common and preferred stocks,
convertible securities, warrants and rights.
CONVERTIBLE SECURITIES are bonds or preferred stocks
that may be exchanged for common stock of the same or
a different company.
LARGE-CAP COMPANIES are those with market caps within
the Morningstar, Inc. Large-Cap category, as described
on page 2. Currently, this range is $9.5 billion or
higher.
MID-CAP COMPANIES are those with markets caps within
the Morningstar, Inc. Mid-Cap category, as described
on page 2. Currently this range is between
$1.5 billion and $9.5 billion.
SMALL-CAP COMPANIES are those with market caps within
the Morningstar, Inc. Small-Cap category, as described
on page 2. Currently, this range is $1.5 billion or
less.
SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS include money market securities
such as short-term U.S. government obligations,
repurchase agreements, commercial paper, bankers'
acceptances and certificates of deposit. These
securities provide a Portfolio with sufficient
liquidity to meet redemptions and cover expenses.
DEFENSIVE INVESTMENTS include high quality fixed
income securities and money market instruments. A
Portfolio will make temporary defensive investments in
response to adverse market, economic, political or
other conditions. When a Portfolio takes a defensive
position, it may miss out on investment opportunities
that could have resulted from investing in accordance
with its principal investment strategy. As a result, a
Portfolio may not achieve its investment goal.
FOREIGN SECURITIES are issued by companies located
outside of the United States, including emerging
markets. Foreign securities may include American
Depositary Receipts (ADRS) or other similar securities
that convert into foreign securities, such as European
Depositary Receipts (EDRS) and Global Depositary
Receipts (GDRS).
It may be necessary under certain foreign laws, less
expensive, or more expedient to invest in FOREIGN
INVESTMENT COMPANIES, which invest in certain foreign
markets, including emerging markets. Investing through
such vehicles may involve frequent or layered fees or
expenses, and the Advisers will not invest in such
investment companies unless, in their judgment, the
potential benefits justify the payment of any
associated fees and expenses.
CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS include the purchase and sale of
currencies to facilitate securities transactions and
forward currency contracts, which are used to hedge
against changes in currency exchange rates.
A DERIVATIVE instrument is a contract, such as an
option or a future, whose value is based on the
performance of an underlying asset.
OPTIONS AND FUTURES are contracts involving the right
to receive or obligation to deliver assets or money
depending on the performance of one or more underlying
assets financial instruments.
A SPECIAL SITUATION arises when, in the opinion of the
Adviser, the securities of a particular issuer will be
recognized and appreciated in value due to a specific
development with respect to that issuer. Developments
creating a special situation might include, among
others, a new product or process, a technological
breakthrough, a management change or other
extraordinary corporate event, or differences in
market supply of and demand for the security.
Investments in special situations may carry an
additional risk of loss in the event that the
anticipated development does not occur or does not
attract the expected attention.
<PAGE>
GLOSSARY
LARGE-CAP COMPANIES and MID-CAP COMPANIES generally have a substantial
record of operations (i.e., in business for at least five years) and are
listed for trading on the New York Stock Exchange or another national or
international stock exchange or, in some cases, are traded over the counter.
SMALL-CAP COMPANIES generally will be companies that have been in business
for a shorter period of time.
"Investment grade" refers to any security rated "BBB" or above by Standard &
Poor's or "Baa" or above by Moody's.

MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE PORTFOLIOS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RISK TERMINOLOGY
MARKET VOLATILITY: The stock and/or bond markets as a whole could go up or down
(sometimes dramatically). This could affect the value of the securities in a
Portfolio's portfolio.
SECURITIES SELECTION: A strategy used by a Portfolio, or securities selected by
its Adviser, may fail to produce the intended return.
SMALL MARKET CAPITALIZATION: Companies with smaller market capitalizations tend
to be at early stages of development with limited product lines, market access
for products, financial resources, access to new capital, or depth in
management. It may be difficult to obtain reliable information and financial
data about these companies. Consequently, the securities of smaller companies
may not be as readily marketable and may be subject to more abrupt or erratic
market movements.
TECHNOLOGY COMPANIES: The industries in which technology companies may be found
can be significantly affected by short product cycles, aggressive pricing of
products and services, competition from new market entrants, worldwide
scientific and technological developments and changes in governmental regulation
and policies.
NON-DIVERSIFICATION: By concentrating in a smaller number of stocks, a
Portfolio's risk is increased because the effect of each stock on the
Portfolio's performance is greater.
FOREIGN EXPOSURE: Investors in foreign countries are subject to a number of
risks. A principal risk is that fluctuations in the exchange rates between the
U.S. dollar and foreign currencies may negatively affect an investment. In
addition, there may be less publicly available information about a foreign
company and it may not be subject to the same uniform accounting, auditing and
financial reporting standards as U.S. companies. Foreign governments may not
regulate securities markets and companies to the same degree as the U.S.
government. Foreign investments will also be affected by local political or
economic developments and governmental actions. Consequently, foreign securities
may be less liquid, more volatile and more difficult to price than U.S.
securities. These risks are heightened when the issuer is in an emerging market.
CURRENCY VOLATILITY: The value of a Portfolio's foreign portfolio investments
may fluctuate due to changes in currency rates. A decline in the value of
foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar generally can be expected to
depress the value of the Portfolio's non-dollar securities.
DERIVATIVES: Derivatives are subject to general risks relating to heightened
sensitivity to market volatility, interest rate fluctuations, illiquidity and
creditworthiness of the counterparty to the derivatives transactions.
HEDGING: Hedging is a strategy in which the Adviser uses a derivative security
to reduce certain risk characteristics of an underlying security or portfolio of
securities. While hedging strategies can be very useful and inexpensive ways of
reducing risk, they are sometimes ineffective due to unexpected changes in the
market or exchange rates. Moreover, while hedging can reduce or eliminate
losses, it can also reduce or eliminate gains.
EMERGING MARKETS: An emerging market country is one that the World Bank, the
International Finance Corporation or the United Nations or its authorities has
determined to have a low or middle income economy. Historical experience
indicates that the markets of emerging market countries have been more volatile
than more developed markets; however, such markets can provide higher rates of
return to investors.

FUND MANAGEMENT
MANAGER. SunAmerica Asset Management Corp. selects the Advisers for the
Portfolios, may manage certain portions of Portfolios, provides various
administrative services, and supervises the daily business affairs of each
Portfolio. The Advisers are responsible for decisions to buy and sell securities
for the Portfolios, selection of broker-dealers and negotiation of commission
rates for their respective portion of the relevant Portfolio. SunAmerica may
terminate any agreement with an Adviser without shareholder approval. Moreover,
SunAmerica has received an exemptive order from the Securities and Exchange
Commission that permits SunAmerica, subject to certain conditions, to enter into
agreements relating to the Fund with Advisers approved by the Board of Directors
without obtaining shareholder approval. The exemptive order also permits
SunAmerica, subject to the approval of the Board but without shareholder
approval, to employ new Advisers for new or existing Portfolios, change the
terms of particular agreements with Advisers or continue the employment of
existing Advisers after events that would otherwise cause an automatic
termination of a subadvisory agreement. Shareholders of a Portfolio have the
right to terminate an agreement with an Adviser for that Portfolio at any time
by a vote of the majority of the outstanding voting securities of such
Portfolio. Shareholders will be notified of any Adviser changes. The order also
permits the Fund to disclose to shareholders the Advisers' fees only in the
aggregate for each Portfolio. For the fiscal year ended October 31, 1999, the
Focused Growth and Income Portfolio and the Focused Value Portfolio each paid
SunAmerica a fee equal to 1.00% of average daily net assets and the Focus
Portfolio paid a fee equal to 0.85% of average daily net assets. The annual rate
of the investment advisory fee of the Focused TechNet Portfolio payable to
SunAmerica is 1.25% of its average daily net assets.
SunAmerica, located in the SunAmerica Center, 733 Third Avenue, New York, New
York 10017, was organized in 1982 under the laws of Delaware, and managed,
advised or administered assets in excess of $27 billion as of December 31, 1999.
In addition to managing the Portfolios, SunAmerica serves as adviser, manager
and/or administrator for Anchor Pathway Fund, Anchor Series Trust, Brazos Mutual
Funds, Seasons Series Trust, SunAmerica Equity Funds, SunAmerica Income Funds,
SunAmerica Money Market Funds, Inc., SunAmerica Series Trust and SunAmerica
Strategic Investment Series, Inc.
The Focused Growth and Income Portfolio has two different professional Advisers,
while the Focus Portfolio and the Focused Value Portfolio provide investors with
access to at least three different professional Advisers, each with its own
distinct investment methodology within a particular investment style. Each
Adviser manages a separate portion of a Portfolio.
SunAmerica is the Portfolios' investment manager and will initially allocate the
assets of each Portfolio equally among the Advisers. SunAmerica will also
allocate new cash from share purchases and redemption requests equally among the
Advisers, unless SunAmerica determines, subject to the review of the Board, that
a different allocation of assets would be in the best interests of the Portfolio
and its shareholders.
With respect to the Focused Growth and Income Portfolio and the Focused Value
Portfolio, SunAmerica intends, on a quarterly basis, to review the asset
allocation in each Portfolio to ensure that no portion of assets managed by an
Adviser exceeds that portion managed by any other Adviser to the Portfolio by
more than 5%. If such a condition exists, SunAmerica will then re-allocate cash
flows among the Advisers, differently from the manner described above, in an
effort to effect a re-balancing of the Portfolio's asset allocation. SunAmerica
does not intend, but reserves the right, subject to the review of the Board, to
reallocate assets from one Adviser to another when it would be in the best
interests of the Portfolio and its shareholders to do so. In some instances, the
effect of the reallocation will be to shift assets from a better performing
Adviser to a portion of the Portfolio with a relatively lower total return.
With respect to the Focus Portfolio, in general, SunAmerica will not rebalance
or reallocate the assets of the Portfolio among Advisers. However, SunAmerica
reserves the right, subject to the review of the Board, to reallocate assets
from one Adviser to another when it would be in the best interests of the
Portfolio and its shareholders to do so. In some instances, where a reallocation
results in any rebalancing of the Portfolio from a previous allocation, the
effect of the reallocation will be to shift assets from a better performing
Adviser to a portion of the Portfolio with a relatively lower total return.

INFORMATION ABOUT ADVISERS

DISTRIBUTOR SunAmerica Capital Services, Inc. distributes each Portfolio's
shares. The Distributor, a SunAmerica company, receives the initial and deferred
sales charges, all or a portion of which may be re-allowed to other
broker-dealers. In addition, the Distributor receives fees under each
Portfolio's 12b-1 plans.
The Distributor, at its expense, may from time to time provide additional
compensation to broker-dealers (including in some instances, affiliates of the
Distributor) in connection with sales of shares of a Portfolio. This
compensation may include (i) full re-allowance of the front-end sales charge on
Class A shares; (ii) additional compensation with respect to the sale of Class
A, Class B or Class II shares; or (iii) financial assistance to broker-dealers
in connection with conferences, sales or training programs for their employees,
seminars for the public, advertising campaigns regarding one or more of the

lodging, incurred in connection with trips taken by invited registered
representatives for meetings or seminars of a business nature. In addition, the

rules of any self-regulatory agency, such as the National Association of
Securities Dealers, Inc. Dealers who receive bonuses or other incentives may be
deemed to be underwriters under the Securities Act of 1933.
