 SHAREHOLDER LETTER
 
 
DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
 
  At the beginning of 1996 we predicted that the Dow Jones Average would reach
6,000 by year-end and we were already at that level in mid October. In this
low inflation, moderate growth environment, we focused on companies with solid
fundamentals, high earnings visibility and consistent double digit growth. We
have seen more than $175 billion come into the equity market thus far compared
with $130 billion in 1995. The rate of increase will clearly slow as year-end
approaches and we would not be surprised to see a 5-7% decline in equities as
the investment community adjusts these numbers down for corporate profits in
1997.
 
  We remained quite diversified in the BALANCED ASSETS FUND with an emphasis
on the interest sensitive sectors of the market along with overweightings in
health care and technology. Our focus was on strong secular trends that
produced favorable earnings in almost any economic environment. The next
twelve months should again provide returns around the historical norm of 11%.
We will maintain our health care and technology positions as well as increase
positions in the energy sector.
 
  Within the BLUE CHIP GROWTH FUND, we looked for companies that were leaders
in their industry and therefore increased market share globally without
sacrificing earnings momentum. The industries that best represented these
characteristics included health care, technology and certain segments of the
service sector including banks and insurance companies. We reduced our
weightings in consumer cyclicals and commodity cyclicals because we expect the
economy to show signs of slower growth before year-end. Going forward, we will
continue to increase our weighting in the interest sensitive sector as well as
maintain our positions in technology and energy.
 
  Investing in companies where industry and secular trends are positive, the
MID-CAP GROWTH FUND was positioned in another secular trend, that of increased
drilling for energy. This was driven by increases in demand, decreases in
supply and lower unit costs for finding energy. In the technology area we
invested in networking, software and semiconductor companies, all of which
benefited from the secular trend of productivity improvement. One final trend
represented in our Fund was therapeutic health care--specifically late stage
biotech companies with products about to be launched commercially. Investment
here enabled shareholders to take advantage of trends in scientific products
and drug designs including those driven by molecular biology. We expect to
maintain investments in therapeutic health care, as many of these companies
are developing unique disease treatments, and with our aging population there
is a ready market for these products.
 
  We have added to our positions of growth stocks in the SMALL COMPANY GROWTH
FUND over the past fiscal year, where earnings were driven by secular changes,
not cyclical or interest rate cycles. We favored technology in selective
markets--productivity-based software manufacturers like Rational Software
Corp., or Viasoft, Inc. or systems integration companies doing contract
software and hardware work. Telecom and network equipment markets were
favored, as the need for larger and upgraded networks in the corporation and
public carrier market continued to grow. We maintained positions in the oil
service sector because of several bullish secular trends which we identified
18 months ago--the increase in energy demand, the reduction in the unit costs
of finding energy due to technology advances in drilling and the need to
restore storage levels to traditional rates in the U.S. and worldwide.
Continuing into this fiscal year, we will maintain positions in the specialty
retail area from a number of secular trends, including the growth in selected
 
                                       1

demographic groups such as teenagers, as well as the increasing capture of
share by name brands. In addition, we will maintain positions in various
outsourcing companies, serving many different industries, as this secular trend
continues to growth.
 
  The GLOBAL BALANCED FUND as of September 30, 1996 was allocated: 48% to
foreign equities, 20.7% in foreign and U.S. bonds, and 17.1% in domestic
equities. The international portion of the Fund was dominated by Japanese
stocks, which we believed benefited from the current low interest rate
environment and an improving economy in Japan. The domestic equity portion of
the Fund focused on strong fundamental companies with consistent earnings that
will continue to outperform in any economic environment. The U.S. bond holdings
consisted of a small position in U.S. Treasury Notes, a reflection of our
belief that the domestic market offers lower real rates of return than many
European alternatives. Although, international equity markets continued to
underperform the domestic stock markets in the third quarter of 1996, we are
still convinced that international investments are particularly attractive at
this point in the global economic recovery and that they should represent a
significant portion of a well diversified portfolio.
 
  The GROWTH AND INCOME FUND was ranked as the number one growth and income
fund in its category as tracked by Lipper Analytic Services for its fiscal
year. The Fund was broadly diversified with slight overweightings in health
care and selective industrial stocks and decreased positions in technology
helping investment performance. The Fund will continue its health care
positioning while maintaining a 10% cash, or cash equivalents, position as we
see a slowing economy for the remainder of the year and into 1997. We will
begin to increase some technology holdings and search for sectors and stocks
where earnings visibility and reasonable valuations are apparent.
 
  It is our contention that the Wall Street community at large is still
overestimating corporate profits for 1997 given the current economic backdrop.
We would not be surprised to see a correction of 7-8% in the equities market as
the investment community comes to the realization that corporate profits will
not be as strong as expected in 1997. However, it is imperative to stay
invested and use these negative periods as buying opportunities. Interestingly,
in the past 70 years in the market--if you missed the top 180 biggest up days--
you also missed 95% of the compounded appreciation. This is not a period in
history when one should be out of equities--stay invested.

  Balanced Assets seeks to conserve principal by maintaining at all times a
  balanced portfolio of stocks and bonds.
  Blue Chip Growth seeks capital appreciation by investing primarily in
  equity securities of companies with large market capitalizations.
  Mid-Cap Growth seeks capital appreciation by investing primarily in equity
  securities of medium-sized companies.
  Small Company Growth seeks capital appreciation by investing primarily in
  equity securities of small capitalization growth companies.
  Global Balanced seeks capital appreciation while conserving principal by
  maintaining at all times a balanced portfolio of domestic and foreign
  stocks and bonds.
  Growth and Income seeks capital appreciation and current income by
  investing primarily in common stocks.
 
  Each Fund currently offers two classes of shares. Class A shares are
  offered at net asset value per share plus an initial sales charge. Class B
  shares are offered without an initial sales charge, although a declining
  contingent sales charge may be imposed on redemptions made within six years
  of purchase. Additionally, any purchases of Class A shares in excess of
  $1,000,000 will be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge on
  redemptions made within one year of purchase. Class B shares of each Fund
  will convert automatically to Class A shares on the first business day of
  the month after seven years from the issuance of such Class B shares and at
  such time will be subject to the lower distribution fee applicable to Class
  A shares. Each class of shares bears the same voting, dividend, liquidation
  and other rights and conditions and each makes distribution and account
  maintenance and service fee payments under the distribution plans pursuant
  to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act"),
  except that Class B shares are subject to higher distribution fee rates.
 
Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies
 
  The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed
  by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements:
 
  SECURITY VALUATIONS: Securities that are actively traded in the over-the-
  counter market, including listed securities for which the primary market is
  believed by the Adviser to be over-the-counter, are

 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- September 30, 1996 -- (continued)
  valued at the quoted bid price provided by principal market makers.
  Securities listed on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") or other national
  securities exchanges, are valued on the basis of the last sale price on the
  exchange on which they are primarily traded. If there is no sale on that
  day, then securities are valued at the closing bid price on the NYSE or
  other primary exchange for that day. However, if the last sale price on the
  NYSE is different than the last sale price on any other exchange, the NYSE
  price is used. Securities that are traded on foreign exchanges are
  ordinarily valued at the last quoted sales price available before the time
  when the assets are valued. If a security's price is available from more
  than one foreign exchange, a Fund uses the exchange that is the primary
  market for the security. Values of portfolio securities primarily traded on
  foreign exchanges are already translated into U.S. dollars when received
  from a quotation service. Options traded on national securities exchanges
  are valued as of the close of the exchange on which they are traded.
  Futures and options traded on commodities exchanges are valued at their
  last sale price as of the close of such exchange. The Funds may make use of
  a pricing service in the determination of their net asset values.
  Securities for which market quotations are not readily available and other
  assets are valued at fair value as determined pursuant to procedures
  adopted in good faith by the Trustees. Short-term investments which mature
  in less than 60 days are valued at amortized cost, if their original
  maturity was 60 days or less, or by amortizing their value on the 61st day
  prior to maturity, if their original term to maturity exceeded 60 days.
 
  REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS: The Funds, along with other affiliated registered
  investment companies, transfer uninvested cash balances into a single joint
  account, the daily aggregate balance of which is invested in one or more
  repurchase agreements collateralized by U.S. Treasury or federal agency
  obligations. The Funds' custodian takes possession of the collateral
  pledged for investments in repurchase agreements. The underlying collateral
  is valued daily on a mark to market basis to ensure that the value,
  including accrued interest, is at least equal to the repurchase price. In
  the event of default of the obligation to repurchase, a Fund has the right
  to liquidate the collateral and apply the proceeds in satisfaction of the
  obligation. If the seller defaults and the value of the collateral declines
  or if bankruptcy proceedings are commenced with respect to the seller of
  the security, realization of the collateral by the Fund may be delayed or
  limited.
 
  OPTIONS: The premium paid by a Fund for the purchase of a call or a put
  option is included in the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an
  investment and subsequently marked to market to reflect the current market
  value of the option. When a Fund writes a call or a put option, an amount
  equal to the premium received by the Fund is included in the Fund's
  Statement of Assets and Liabilities as a liability and is subsequently
  marked to market to reflect the current market value of the option written.
  If an option which the Fund has written either expires on its stipulated
  expiration date, or if the Fund enters into a closing purchase transaction,
  the Fund realizes a gain (or loss if the cost of a closing purchase
  transaction exceeds the premium received when the option was written)
  without regard to any unrealized gain or loss on the underlying security,
  and the liability related to such option is extinguished. If a call option
  which the Fund has written is exercised, the Fund realizes a capital gain
  or loss from the sale of the underlying security and the proceeds from such
  sale are increased by the premium originally received. If a put option
  which the Fund has written is exercised, the amount of the premium
  originally received reduces the cost basis of the security which the Fund
  purchased upon exercise of the option.

 SUNAMERICA EQUITY FUNDS
 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- September 30, 1996 -- (continued)
 
  SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS, INVESTMENT INCOME, DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS TO
  SHAREHOLDERS: Securities transactions are recorded on the first business
  day following the trade date. Realized gains and losses on sales of
  investments are calculated on the identified cost basis. Interest income is
  recorded on the accrual basis; dividend income is recorded on the ex-
  dividend date. Funds investing in foreign securities may be subject to
  taxes imposed by countries in which it invests. Such taxes are generally
  based on either income or gains earned or repatriated. The Fund accrues
  such taxes when the related income is earned. The Equity Funds, except for
  the Global Balanced Fund and the Growth and Income Fund, do not amortize
  premiums or accrue discounts except for original issue discounts and on
  interest only securities for which amortization is required for federal
  income tax purposes.
 
  Net investment income, other than class specific expenses and realized and
  unrealized gains and losses, is allocated daily to each class of shares
  based upon the relative net asset value of outstanding shares (or the value
  of the dividend-eligible shares, as appropriate) of each class of shares at
  the beginning of the day (after adjusting for the current capital shares
  activity of the respective class).
 
  Dividends from net investment income, if any, are paid semiannually, except
  for Balanced Assets Fund and Growth and Income Fund, which pay quarterly,
  and Global Balanced Fund, which pays annually. Capital gain distributions,
  if any, are paid annually.
 
  INVESTMENT SECURITIES LOANED: During the year ended September 30, 1996,
  Balanced Assets Fund, Mid-Cap Growth Fund and Small Company Growth Fund
  participated in securities lending with qualified brokers. In lending
  portfolio securities to brokers the Funds receive cash as collateral
  against the loaned securities, which must be maintained at not less than
  102% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the
  loan. To the extent income is earned on the cash collateral invested, it is
  recorded as interest income. As with other extensions of credit, should the
  borrower of the securities fail financially, the Funds may bear the risk of
  delay in recovery or may be subject to replacing the loaned securities by
  purchasing them with the cash collateral held, which may be less than 100%
  of the market value of such securities at the time of replacement.
 
  FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTION: The books and records of the Fund are
  maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency amounts are translated into
  U.S. dollars at published rates on the following basis:
 
    (i) market value of investment securities, other assets and
    liabilities--at the closing rate of exchange.
 
    (ii) purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses--
    at the rate of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such
    transactions.
 
  Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies and commitments
  under forward foreign currency contracts are translated into U.S. dollars
  at the mean of the quoted bid and asked prices of such currencies against
  the U.S. dollar.
 
  The Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations arising
  as a result of changes in the foreign exchange rates from the changes in
  the market prices of securities held at fiscal year-end. Similarly, the
  Fund does not isolate the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates from
  the changes in the market prices of portfolio securities sold during the
  year.

  Realized foreign exchange gains and losses on other assets and liabilities
  and change in unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses on other assets
  and liabilities include foreign exchange gains and losses from currency
  gains or losses between the trade and settlement dates of securities
  transactions, the difference between the amounts of interest, dividends and
  foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund's books and the U.S. dollar
  equivalent amounts actually received or paid and changes in the unrealized
  foreign exchange gains and losses relating to other assets and liabilities
  arising as a result of changes in the exchange rate.
 
  FEDERAL INCOME TAXES: It is the Funds' policy to meet the requirements of
  the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, applicable to regulated
  investment companies and to distribute all of their taxable net income to
  their shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax or excise tax
  provisions are required.
 
  ORGANIZATIONAL EXPENSES: Costs incurred by SAAMCo in connection with the
  organization of Global Balanced Fund and Growth and Income Fund amounted to
  $4,347 and $1,383, respectively. These costs are being amortized on a
  straight line basis by the Funds over a period not to exceed 60 months from
  the date the Funds commenced operations.
 
  EXPENSES: Expenses common to all Funds, not directly related to individual
  Funds, are allocated among the Equity Funds based upon their relative net
  asset values.
 
  USE OF ESTIMATES IN FINANCIAL STATEMENT PREPARATION: The preparation of
  financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting
  principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
  affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
  Actual results could differ from these estimates.
 
  STATEMENT OF POSITION 93-2: As required by Statement of Position 93-2,
  Determination, Disclosure, and Financial Statement Presentation of Income,
  Capital Gain, and Return of Capital Distributions by Investment Companies,
  permanent book-tax differences relating to shareholder distributions have
  been reclassified in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Net
  investment income/loss, net realized gain/loss, and net assets are not
  affected. The following table discloses the current year reclassifications
  between paid in capital, accumulated undistributed net investment
  income/loss and accumulated undistributed net realized gain/loss on
  investments.

Note 4. Investment Advisory and Management Agreement, Distribution Agreement
      and Service Agreement
 
  The Trust, on behalf of each Fund, has an Investment Advisory and
  Management Agreement (the "Agreement") with SAAMCo, an indirect wholly-
  owned subsidiary of SunAmerica Inc. Under the Agreement, SAAMCo provides
  continuous supervision of a Fund's portfolio and administers its corporate
  affairs, subject to general review by the Trustees. In connection
  therewith, SAAMCo furnishes the Funds with office facilities, maintains
  certain of the Fund's books and records, and pays the salaries and expenses
  of all personnel, including officers of the Funds who are employees of
  SAAMCo and its affiliates. The investment advisory and management fee to
  SAAMCo with respect to each Fund (other than the Global Balanced Fund) is
  computed daily and payable monthly, at an annual rate of .75% of a Fund's
  average daily net assets up to $350 million, .70% of the next $350 million,
  and .65% thereafter. The Global Balanced Fund pays the Adviser a fee,
  payable monthly, computed daily at the annual rate of 1.00% on the first
  $350 million of the Fund's average daily net assets, .90% on the next $350
  million of net assets and .85% on net assets over $700 million. For the
  year ended September 30, 1996, SAAMCo earned fees in the amounts stated on
  the Statement of Operations, of which SAAMCo agreed to voluntarily waive
  $98,765 and $91,558 on the Global Balanced Fund and Growth and Income Fund,
  respectively. In addition to the aforementioned, SAAMCo, on behalf of
  SunAmerica Global Balanced Fund, entered into Sub-Advisory Agreements with
  AIG Asset Management, Inc. ("AIGAM") and Goldman Sachs Asset Management
  International ("GSAM") under which AIGAM and GSAM act as sub-advisers. As
  of April 23, 1996, GSAM resigned their role as sub-adviser. Pursuant to the
  Agreement with the Trust SAAMCo assumed portfolio management
  responsibilities for the component previously sub-advised by GSAM.
 
  SAAMCo pays AIGAM a monthly fee with respect to those net assets of the
  Global Balanced Fund actually managed by AIGAM computed based on average
  daily net assets at the following annual rates: .50% on the first $50
  million of such assets, .40% of the next $100 million of such assets, .30%
  on the next $150 million of such assets, and .25% of such assets in excess
  of $300 million. Also, from the investment advisory fee the Adviser paid
  GSAM a monthly fee with respect to those net assets of the Global Balanced
  Fund actually managed by GSAM computed based on average daily net assets,

  at the following annual rates: .40% on the first $50 million of such
  assets, .30% on the next $100 million of such assets, .25% on the next $100
  million of such assets, and .20% of such assets in excess of $250 million.
  For the year ended September 30, 1996, SAAMCo paid AIGAM fees of $66,942
  and for the period October 1, 1995 through April 23, 1996 paid GSAM fees of
  $14,483.
 
  SAAMCo agreed that it would refund or rebate its management fees to each of
  the Funds to the extent that the Fund's expenses (including the fees of
  SAAMCo and amortization of organizational expenses, but excluding interest,
  taxes, brokerage commissions, distribution fees and other extraordinary
  expenses) exceed the most restrictive expense limitation imposed by states
  where the Fund's shares are sold. The most restrictive expense limitation
  was believed to be 2 1/2% of the first $30 million of the Fund's average
  daily net assets, 2% of the next $70 million of average net assets and 1
  1/2% of such net assets in excess of $100 million.
 
  For the year ended September 30, 1996, SAAMCo has agreed to voluntarily
  reimburse expenses of $66 on Mid-Cap Growth Fund Class B, $2,945 on Global
  Balanced Fund Class A and, $18,080 and $17,057 on Growth and Income Fund
  (Class A, Class B), respectively, related to both class specific and fund
  level expenses excluding management fees and distribution and service
  maintenance fees which are stated separately in the Notes.
 
  The Trust, on behalf of each Fund, has a Distribution Agreement with
  SunAmerica Capital Services, Inc. ("SACS"), an indirect wholly owned
  subsidiary of SunAmerica Inc. Each Fund has adopted a Distribution Plan
  (the "Plan") in accordance with the provisions of Rule 12b-1 under the 1940
  Act. Rule 12b-1 under the Act permits an investment company directly or
  indirectly to pay expenses associated with the distribution of its shares
  ("distribution expenses") in accordance with a plan adopted by the
  investment company's board of trustees and approved by its shareholders.
  Pursuant to such rule, the Trustees and the shareholders of each class of
  shares of each Fund have adopted Distribution Plans hereinafter referred to
  as the "Class A Plan" and the "Class B Plan." In adopting the Class A Plan
  and the Class B Plan, the Trustees determined that there was a reasonable
  likelihood that each such Plan would benefit the Trust and the shareholders
  of the respective class. The sales charge and distribution fees of a
  particular class will not be used to subsidize the sale of shares of any
  other class.
 
  Under the Class A Plan and Class B Plan, the Distributor receives payments
  from a Fund at an annual rate of up to 0.10% and 0.75%, respectively, of
  average daily net assets of such Fund's Class A and Class B shares to
  compensate the Distributor and certain securities firms for providing sales
  and promotional activities for distributing that class of shares. The
  distribution costs for which the Distributor may be reimbursed out of such
  distribution fees include fees paid to broker-dealers that have sold Fund
  shares, commissions and other expenses such as those incurred for sales
  literature, prospectus printing and distribution and compensation to
  wholesalers. It is possible that in any given year the amount paid to the
  Distributor under the Class A Plan or Class B Plan may exceed the
  Distributor's distribution costs as described above. The Distribution Plans
  provide that each class of shares of each Fund may also pay the Distributor
  an account maintenance and service fee up to an annual rate of 0.25% of the
  aggregate average daily net assets of such class of shares for payments to
  broker-dealers for providing continuing account maintenance. Accordingly,
  for the year ended September 30, 1996, SACS received fees (see Statement of
  Operations) based upon the aforementioned rates, (of which $3,265 was
  waived on Growth and Income Fund).

  SACS receives sales charges on each Fund's Class A shares, portions of
  which are reallowed to affiliated broker-dealers and non-affiliated broker-
  dealers. SACS also receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales
  charges paid by investors in connection with certain redemptions of each
  Fund's Class B shares. SACS has advised the Funds that for the year ended
  September 30, 1996 the proceeds received from Class A sales (and paid out
  to affiliated and non-affiliated broker-dealers) and Class B redemptions

  At September 30, 1996, Global Balanced Fund had net capital loss
  carryforwards of $217,014 which are available to the extent provided in
  regulations to offset future capital gains of which $17,364 will expire in
  2003 and $199,650 will expire in 2004. To the extent that these
  carryforwards are used to offset future capital gains, it is probable that
  the gains so offset will not be distributed.

 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- September 30, 1996 -- (continued)
 
Note 9. Commitments and Contingencies
 
  The SunAmerica family of mutual funds may borrow up to $75,000,000 under an
  uncommitted line of credit with State Street Bank and Trust Company, the
  Funds' custodian, with interest payable at the Federal Funds rate plus 100
  basis points. Borrowings under the line of credit will commence when the
  respective Fund's cash shortfall exceeds $100,000.
 
Note 10. Trustees Retirement Plan
 
  The Trustees (and Directors) of the SunAmerica Family of Mutual Funds have
  adopted the SunAmerica Disinterested Trustees' and Directors' Retirement
  Plan (the "Retirement Plan") effective January 1, 1993 for the unaffiliated
  Trustees. The Retirement Plan provides generally that if an unaffiliated
  Trustee who has at least 10 years of consecutive service as a Disinterested
  Trustee of any of the SunAmerica mutual funds (an "Eligible Trustee")
  retires after reaching age 60 but before age 70 or dies while a Trustee,
  such person will be eligible to receive a retirement or death benefit from
  each SunAmerica mutual fund with respect to which he or she is an Eligible
  Trustee. As of each birthday, prior to the 70th birthday, but in no event
  for a period greater than 10 years, each Eligible Trustee will be credited
  with an amount equal to 50% of his or her regular fees (excluding committee
  fees) for services as a Disinterested Trustee of each SunAmerica mutual
  fund for the calendar year in which such birthday occurs. In addition, an
  amount equal to 8.5% of any amounts credited under the preceding clause
  during prior years, is added to each Eligible Trustee's account until such
  Eligible Trustee reaches his or her 70th birthday. An Eligible Trustee may
  receive any benefits payable under the Retirement Plan, at his or her
  election, either in one lump sum or in up to fifteen annual installments.
  As of September 30, 1996, Balanced Assets Fund, Blue Chip Growth Fund, Mid-
  Cap Growth Fund, Small Company Growth Fund, Global Balanced Fund and Growth
  and Income Fund had accrued $15,032, $4,872, $2,539, $7,974, $1,258 and
  $298, respectively, for the Retirement Plan, which is included in accrued
  expenses on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, and for the year ended
  September 30, 1996 expensed $9,912, $3,005, $1,653, $5,731, $822 and $240,
  respectively, for the Retirement Plan, which is included in Trustees' fees
  and expenses on the Statement of Operations.
 
Note 11. Subsequent Event
 
  On October 1, 1996 Balanced Assets Fund and Small Company Growth Fund
  offered Class Z shares exclusively for sale to employees participating in
  the SunAmerica profit sharing and retirement plan.

 SUNAMERICA EQUITY FUNDS
 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
 
To the Trustees and Shareholders of SunAmerica Equity Funds
 
In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities,
including the portfolios of investments, and the related statements of
operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of SunAmerica Balanced
Assets Fund, SunAmerica Blue Chip Growth Fund, SunAmerica Mid-Cap Growth Fund,
SunAmerica Small Company Growth Fund, SunAmerica Global Balanced Fund and
SunAmerica Growth and Income Fund (constituting SunAmerica Equity Funds,
hereafter referred to as the "Fund") at September 30, 1996, the results of each
of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net
assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial
highlights for each of the periods presented, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles. These financial statements and financial
highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the
responsibility of the Fund's management; our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our
audits of these financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing
the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management,
and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that
our audits, which included confirmation of securities at September 30, 1996 by
correspondence with the custodian and brokers and the application of
alternative auditing procedures where confirmations from brokers were not
received, provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

 COMPARISONS: PORTFOLIOS VS. INDEXES

As required by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the following graphs
compare the performance of a $10,000 investment in the SunAmerica Equity Funds'
portfolios to a similar investment in an index. Please note that "inception" as
used herein reflects the date a Fund commenced operations without regard to
when a second class of shares was introduced. It is important to note that the
SunAmerica Equity Funds are professionally managed mutual funds while the
indices are not available for investment and are unmanaged. The comparison is
shown for illustrative purposes only. The graphs present the performance of the
class of that particular Fund which has been in existence the longest. The
performance of the other class will vary based upon the difference in sales
charges and fees assessed to shareholders of that class. The maximum sales
charge for Class A is 5.75% of the public offering price. The maximum
contingent deferred sales charge for Class B is 4% and is reduced to 0% after
six years. Both Class A and Class B bear ongoing 12b-1 distribution and service
fees. Each index has been chosen by the particular portfolio's manager as an
appropriate comparison and is accompanied by a brief discussion from the
portfolio manager about why the portfolio performed the way it did relative to
the index.

The SunAmerica Balanced Assets Fund offers a conservative approach to stock
investing. The Fund seeks to conserve principal by maintaining at all times a
balanced portfolio of stocks and bonds. The Fund will traditionally underperform
a pure stock portfolio due to its fixed income component. Over the course of the
past year, the Fund has underperformed the S&P 500 due to our conservative
stance toward the market. Our strategy going forward will be to overweight the
Fund with large, liquid names with consistent earnings, focusing on the
technology, health care, interest sensitive and energy sectors.

The SunAmerica Blue Chip Growth Fund seeks capital appreciation by investing
primarily in equity securities of companies with large market capitalizations.
During the past year, the Blue Chip Growth Fund has lagged behind the S&P 500
due to our more conservative stance and the over diversification of the Fund.
Our strategy going forward is to concentrate the Fund on sectors that will
outperform. To that end, we have overweighted the Fund in interest sensitive,
health care and technology names into the Fund's next fiscal year.

The SunAmerica Mid-Cap Growth Fund seeks capital appreciation by investing
primarily in the equity securities of medium-sized companies with market
capitalizations of $1 billion to approximately $5 billion. The Fund took
advantage of the strong advance of the equity markets and performed in line with
the S&P 500. The Fund performance was mainly due to select investments in high
growth industries such as, technology, health care and energy.

The SunAmerica Small Company Growth Fund seeks to realize capital appreciation
by investing in equity securities of small capitalization growth companies. The
Fund performed well during its fiscal year, ranking among the top third of the
small company growth funds as tracked by Lipper Analytical Services. The Fund's
performance has been successful mainly due to additional positions in growth
stocks where earnings were driven by secular changes. We will continue our
selective investments in health care, and maintain positions in various
outsourcing companies and in the oil service sector, into the next fiscal
year.

The SunAmerica Global Balanced Fund seeks capital appreciation while conserving
principal by maintaining at all times a balanced portfolio of domestic and
foreign stocks and bonds. The Fund has underperformed during the past year due
to its overweighting in the Japanese markets and its conservative stance toward
the domestic markets. Going forward, we continue to believe Japan will benefit
from its current low interest rate environment and improving economy.  The
domestic equity and fixed income portion should perform well given the current
economic outlook in the U.S.

The SunAmerica Growth and Income Fund invests in common stocks, which offer
potential for capital appreciation, current income or both. As we positioned the
portfolio in attractive health care, industrial and technology issues early in
the year, the Fund returned 32.59% for its fiscal year, ranking it the #1 growth
and income fund as ranked by Lipper Analytical Services. Currently we are
broadly diversified in primarily large capitalization stocks and are building
positions in areas where we see good earnings visibility and reasonable
valuations.
