                  AMERICAN GENERAL SERIES PORTFOLIO COMPANY 2
                         SUPPLEMENT DATED MAY 12, 2000
                     TO THE PROSPECTUS DATED MARCH 1, 2000
                    (as supplemented through MARCH 27, 2000)

Class A and Class B Prospectus
- ------------------------------

           The Board of Trustees (the "Board") of American General Series
Portfolio Company 2 ("American General Funds") has approved several actions
described below.

                 CONVERSIONS OF CERTAIN AMERICAN GENERAL FUNDS

           The Board approved a proposal relating to the conversion of certain
American General Funds into corresponding series of the North American Funds, a
Massachusetts business trust (the "Conversions"). This proposal is intended to
integrate the North American and American General mutual fund families and
provide consistency and increased flexibility throughout the fund family. In
addition to this proposal, the Board reviewed an investment advisory agreement
for the American General Funds with American General Asset Management Corp.
("AGAM"), a newly acquired subsidiary of American General Corporation
("American General"), and investment sub-advisory agreement with American
General Investment Management, L.P. ("AGIM"), a subsidiary of American General
which currently serves as investment sub-adviser to certain of the American
General Funds and recommended that shareholders approve such agreements. The
Board approved increasing the annual Rule 12b-1 distribution fee to 0.35% from
0.25% for Class A Shares for each Fund involved in the Conversions except
Growth Lifestyle Fund, Moderate Growth Lifestyle Fund, Conservative Growth
Lifestyle Fund and Municipal Money Market Fund. Each of these proposals is
subject to shareholder approval. The proposed Conversions are noted below.

Small Cap Index Fund                  |   Small Cap Index Fund

- --------------------------------------|---------------------------------------

- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------


           Each American General Fund's investment objective and policies will
not change as a result of the Conversion. The terms of the investment advisory
agreement between each American General Fund and AGAM and the investment
sub-advisory agreement with AGIM are similar to the Funds' current investment
advisory agreements. The investment advisory fee under the new investment
advisory agreement with AGAM will increase in the case of the High Yield Bond
Fund and the Socially Responsible Fund and

                                       1

decrease in the case of the Municipal Money Market Fund. Except for the expense
ratios of the Class A Shares of the Science & Technology Fund and the Class B
shares of the High Yield Bond Fund, the gross expense ratios of the Funds after
the Conversions will be lower than their current expense ratios.

                   MERGERS OF CERTAIN AMERICAN GENERAL FUNDS

           The Board approved a proposal relating to the mergers of certain
American General Funds into certain North American Funds (the "Mergers"). This
proposal generally offers shareholders the opportunity to pursue a similar
investment objective in a larger fund, which should offer economies of scale
and opportunities for greater diversification of risk and should result in
lower fund operating expenses than the current expenses (absent fee waivers and
expense reimbursement) of the American General Funds. As a result of each
proposed Merger, the annual Rule 12b-1 distribution and service fee for Class A
shares will increase to 0.35% from 0.25% for each Fund except Growth Lifestyle
Fund, Moderate Growth Lifestyle Fund, Conservative Growth Lifestyle Fund and
Municipal Bond Fund.

           The North American Funds have investment objectives and policies
that are generally similar to the corresponding American General Fund. The
proposed Mergers are noted below.

            The Board established the close of business of May 12, 2000 as the
record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to notice of and to
vote at the shareholder meeting on the proposals described above. The
shareholder meeting is scheduled for June 22, 2000, and if approved by the
shareholders, the Conversions and the Mergers of the American General Funds and
the North American Funds would become effective in mid-to-late summer.

Institutional Class I and Class II Prospectus
- ---------------------------------------------

           The Board of Trustees (the "Board") of American General Series
Portfolio Company 2 ("American General Funds") has approved several actions
described below.

                 CONVERSIONS OF CERTAIN AMERICAN GENERAL FUNDS

           The Board approved a proposal relating to the conversion of certain
American General Funds into corresponding series of the North American Funds, a
Massachusetts business trust (the "Conversions"). This proposal is intended to
integrate the North American and American General mutual fund families and
provide consistency and increased flexibility throughout the fund family. In
addition to this proposal, the Board reviewed an investment advisory agreement
for the American General Funds with American General Asset Management Corp.
("AGAM"), a newly acquired subsidiary of American General Corporation
("American General"), and investment sub-advisory agreement with American
General Investment Management, L.P. ("AGIM"), a subsidiary of American General
which currently serves as investment sub-adviser to certain of the American
General Funds and recommended that shareholders approve such agreements. The
Board approved increasing the annual Rule 12b-1 distribution fee to 0.35% from
0.25% for Class A Shares for each Fund involved in the Conversions except
Growth Lifestyle Fund, Moderate Growth Lifestyle Fund, Conservative Growth
Lifestyle Fund and Municipal Money Market Fund. Each of these proposals is
subject to shareholder approval. The proposed Conversions are noted below.

     AMERICAN GENERAL FUND            |       NORTH AMERICAN FUND
- --------------------------------------|---------------------------------------

           Each American General Fund's investment objective and policies will
not change as a result of the Conversion. The terms of the investment advisory
agreement between each American General Fund and AGAM and the investment
sub-advisory agreement with AGIM are similar to the Funds' current investment
advisory agreements. The investment advisory fee under the new investment
advisory agreement with AGAM will increase in the case of the High Yield Bond
Fund and the Socially Responsible Fund and

                                       1

decrease in the case of the Municipal Money Market Fund. Except for the expense
ratios of the Class A Shares of the Science & Technology Fund and the Class B
shares of the High Yield Bond Fund, the gross expense ratios of the Funds after
the Conversions will be lower than their current expense ratios.

                   MERGERS OF CERTAIN AMERICAN GENERAL FUNDS

           The Board approved a proposal relating to the mergers of certain
American General Funds into certain North American Funds (the "Mergers"). This
proposal generally offers shareholders the opportunity to pursue a similar
investment objective in a larger fund, which should offer economies of scale
and opportunities for greater diversification of risk and should result in
lower fund operating expenses than the current expenses (absent fee waivers and
expense reimbursement) of the American General Funds. As a result of each
proposed Merger, the annual Rule 12b-1 distribution and service fee for Class A
shares will increase to 0.35% from 0.25% for each Fund except Growth Lifestyle
Fund, Moderate Growth Lifestyle Fund, Conservative Growth Lifestyle Fund and
Municipal Bond Fund.

           The North American Funds have investment objectives and policies
that are generally similar to the corresponding American General Fund. The
proposed Mergers are noted below.
