INSTITUTIONAL CLASS II SHARES
SUPPLEMENT ISSUED JANUARY 20, 1999
TO PROSPECTUS DATED NOVEMBER 2, 1998
On January 19, 1999, the Board of Trustees of the Series Company approved
certain changes to the Funds' investment restrictions with respect to illiquid
and restricted securities. Specifically, the section entitled "Illiquid and
Restricted Securities" under "Types of Investments" is re-titled and replaced in
its entirety with the following:
ILLIQUID SECURITIES
An illiquid security is one that may not be frequently traded or cannot be
disposed of promptly within seven days and in the usual course of business
without taking a materially reduced price. Illiquid securities include, but
are not limited to, time deposits and repurchase agreements not maturing
within seven days and restricted securities.
A restricted security is one that has not been registered with the SEC and,
therefore, cannot be sold in the public market. Securities eligible for
sale under Rule 144A and commercial paper offered pursuant to Section 4(2)
of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, are not deemed by VALIC or the
Sub-adviser to be illiquid solely by reason of being restricted. Instead,
VALIC or the Sub-adviser will determine whether such securities are liquid
based on trading markets and pursuant to guidelines adopted by the Series
Company's Board of Trustees. If VALIC or the Sub-adviser concludes that a
security is not liquid, that investment will be included within the Fund's
limitation on illiquid securities.
All the Funds, except the Lifestyle Funds, may buy illiquid securities, but
are restricted as to how much money they may invest in them.
The related sidebar should only reference illiquid securities.
In the "Fact Sheets" for the LARGE CAP VALUE FUND, MID CAP VALUE FUND, SOCIALLY
RESPONSIBLE FUND, AND MONEY MARKET FUND, please disregard all references to
restricted securities under "Investment Strategy." The stated limit should refer
to illiquid securities only.
