PRINCIPAL RISKS
The following supplements the information concerning the principal risks of
investing in the Portfolios under the "TRUST HIGHLIGHTS" section of the
Prospectus:
- The GOLDMAN SACHS RESEARCH, BLUE CHIP GROWTH, GROWTH OPPORTUNITIES and
TECHNOLOGY PORTFOLIOS invest primarily in equity securities, including

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE
GOLDMAN SACHS RESEARCH PORTFOLIO
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
INVESTMENT STRATEGY FOR THE GOLDMAN SACHS RESEARCH PORTFOLIO
Under normal circumstances, the Goldman Sachs Research Portfolio will generally
purchase a stock that has been added to, or sell a stock that has been removed
from, the U.S. Select List (as described below) at some point after publication
of that change, at the discretion of the Subadviser. Notification of changes to
the U.S. Select List is made to clients of Goldman, Sachs & Co. and to the
portfolio management team of the Goldman Sachs Research Portfolio at the same
time. The Subadviser expects the performance of the Goldman Sachs Research
Portfolio to be driven by sector and/or stock selection of the U.S. Select List.
In addition, the Subadviser may at times purchase supplemental securities that
are not included on the U.S. Select List.
Goldman Sachs has achieved world-wide recognition for its value-added research
products. The U.S. Select List was introduced on September 9, 1998 and comprises
approximately 25 to 35 equity securities that the Goldman Sachs U.S. Stock
Selection Committee expects, as a portfolio, to outperform its benchmark S&P
500(R) over the next 12 to 18 months. The U.S. Stock Selection Committee
currently comprises ten senior professionals, including the head of Global
Investment Research and the Director of U.S. Investment Research, as well as a
senior market strategist, economist, and sector specialists. The list is
consistent with overall investment policy and emphasizes strategically favored
economic sectors. The U.S. Select List is updated on a regular basis.
The U.S. Select List is not compiled with any particular client or product in
mind and is not (and will not be) complied with the Goldman Sachs Research
Portfolio in mind. The performance of the U.S. Select List cannot be used to
predict performance of the Goldman Sachs Research Portfolio, an actively managed
mutual fund. The performance of the Goldman Sachs Research Portfolio may differ
from that of the published U.S. Select List, for a variety of reasons, including
transaction costs, time delay between when a stock is added or removed from the
list and when it is bought or sold for the Goldman Sachs Research Portfolio;
modification in the stock weights in order to control risk; and the Goldman
Sachs Research Portfolio's investments in cash equivalents, options and other
securities and instruments that are not included in the U.S. Select List.

GLOSSARY
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Please refer to the "GLOSSARY" section of the Prospectus for definitions of the
investment and risk terminology used in the preceding chart and throughout this
Supplement.
RISK TERMINOLOGY
The following supplements the information under the "GLOSSARY -- RISK
TERMINOLOGY" section of the Prospectus:
IPO INVESTING: A Portfolio's purchase of shares issued as part of, or a short
period after, companies' initial public offerings ("IPOs"), exposes it to the
risks associated with companies that have little operating history as public
companies, as well as to the risks inherent in those sectors of the market where
these new issuers operate. The market for IPO issuers has been volatile, and
share prices of newly-public companies have fluctuated in significant amounts
over short periods of time.
SHORT SALE RISKS: Short sales by a Portfolio involve certain risks and special
considerations. Possible losses from short sales differ from losses that could
be incurred from a purchase of a security, because losses from short sales may
be unlimited, whereas losses from purchases can equal only the total amount
invested.
TECHNOLOGY SECTOR: There are numerous risks and uncertainties involved in
investing in the technology sector. Historically, the price of securities in
this sector have tended to be volatile. A Portfolio that invests primarily in
technology-related issuers bears an additional risk that economic events may
affect a substantial portion of the Portfolio's investments. In addition, at
times, equity securities of technology-related issuers may underperform relative
to other sectors.
UNSEASONED COMPANIES: Unseasoned companies are companies that have operated
less than three years. The securities of such companies may have limited
liquidity, which can result in their being priced higher or lower than might
otherwise be the case. In addition, investments in unseasoned companies are more
speculative and entail greater risk than do investments in companies with an
established operating record.

Q&A
FIXED INCOME PORTFOLIOS typically seek to provide high current income
consistent with the preservation of capital by investing in fixed
income securities.
YIELD is the annual dollar income received on an investment expressed
as a percentage of the current or average price.
INCOME is interest payments from bonds or dividends from stocks.
TOTAL RETURN is a measure of performance which combines all elements
of return including income and capital gain or loss; it represents the
change in value of an investment over a given period expressed as a
percentage of the initial investment.
"HIGH QUALITY" INSTRUMENTS have a very strong capacity to pay interest
and repay principal; they reflect the issuers' high creditworthiness
and low risk of default.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
TRUST HIGHLIGHTS
--------------------------------------------------------------------
The following questions and answers are designed to give you an
overview of SunAmerica Series Trust (the "Trust") and to provide you
with information about twenty-three of the Trust's separate
investment series ("Portfolios") and their investment goals and
principal strategies. More complete investment information is
provided in the charts, under "More Information About the
Portfolios," which begin on page 32, and the glossary that follows
on page 38.
Q: WHAT ARE THE PORTFOLIOS' INVESTMENT GOALS AND PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT
STRATEGIES?
A: Each Portfolio operates as a separate mutual fund, with its own investment
goal and a principal strategy for pursuing it. A Portfolio's investment
goal may be changed without shareholder approval, but you will be notified
of any change. There can be no assurance that any Portfolio will meet its
investment goal or that the net return on an investment will exceed what
could have been obtained through other investment or savings vehicles.

BALANCED PORTFOLIOS typically try to balance three different
investment goals: capital appreciation, income and capital
preservation by investing in a mixture of stocks, bonds and money
market instruments.
ASSET ALLOCATION is a varying combination, depending on market
conditions and risk level, of stocks, bonds, money market instruments
and other assets.
CAPITAL APPRECIATION/GROWTH is an increase in the market value of
securities held.
A "VALUE" PHILOSOPHY -- that of investing in securities that are
believed to be undervalued in the market -- often reflects a
contrarian approach in that the potential for superior relative
performance is believed to be highest when fundamentally solid
companies are out of favor. The selection criteria is usually
calculated to identify stocks of companies with solid financial
strength and generous dividend yields that have low price-earnings
ratios and have generally been overlooked by the market, or companies
undervalued within an industry or market capitalization category.

A "GROWTH" PHILOSOPHY -- that of investing in securities believed to
offer the potential for capital appreciation -- focuses on securities
of companies that are considered to have a historical record of
above-average growth rate, significant growth potential, above-average
earnings growth or value, the ability to sustain earnings growth, or
that offer proven or unusual products or services, or operate in
industries experiencing increasing demand.
MARKET CAPITALIZATION represents the total market value of the
outstanding securities of a corporation.
INTERNATIONAL PORTFOLIOS typically seek capital appreciation by
investing significantly in securities traded in markets outside the
U.S.
AN "EMERGING MARKET" COUNTRY is generally a country with a low or
middle income economy or that is in the early stages of its
industrialization cycle.

Q: WHAT ARE THE PRINCIPAL RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE PORTFOLIOS?
A: The following section describes the principal risks of each Portfolio, while
the charts beginning on page 32 describe various additional risks.
Risks of Investing in Equity Securities
The GROWTH-INCOME, FEDERATED VALUE, DAVIS VENTURE VALUE, "DOGS" OF WALL
STREET, ALLIANCE GROWTH, MFS GROWTH AND INCOME, PUTNAM GROWTH, REAL ESTATE,
MFS MID-CAP GROWTH, AGGRESSIVE GROWTH, INTERNATIONAL GROWTH AND INCOME,
GLOBAL EQUITIES, INTERNATIONAL DIVERSIFIED EQUITIES and EMERGING MARKETS
PORTFOLIOS invest primarily in equity securities. In addition, the
SUNAMERICA BALANCED, MFS TOTAL RETURN, ASSET ALLOCATION and UTILITY
PORTFOLIOS invest significantly in equities. As with any equity fund, the
value of your investment in any of these Portfolios may fluctuate in
response to stock market movements. Growth stocks are historically volatile,
which will particularly affect the GROWTH-INCOME, ALLIANCE GROWTH, MFS
GROWTH AND INCOME, PUTNAM GROWTH, MFS MID-CAP GROWTH, AGGRESSIVE GROWTH and
INTERNATIONAL GROWTH AND INCOME PORTFOLIOS. You should be aware that the
performance of different types of equity stocks may rise or decline under
varying market conditions -- for example, "value" stocks may perform well
under circumstances in which "growth" stocks in general have fallen, or vice
versa. In addition, individual stocks selected for any of these Portfolios
may underperform the market generally.
Risks of Investing in Bonds
The CORPORATE BOND, GLOBAL BOND, HIGH-YIELD BOND, and WORLDWIDE HIGH INCOME
PORTFOLIOS invest primarily in bonds. In addition, the SUNAMERICA BALANCED,
MFS TOTAL RETURN, ASSET ALLOCATION and UTILITY PORTFOLIOS invest
significantly in bonds. As with any bond fund, the value of your investment
in these Portfolios may go up or down in response to changes in interest
rates or defaults (or even the potential for future default) by bond
issuers. To the extent a Portfolio is invested in the bond market, movements
in the bond market generally may affect its performance. In addition,
individual bonds selected for any of these Portfolios may underperform the
market generally.
Risks of Investing in Junk Bonds
The HIGH-YIELD BOND and WORLDWIDE HIGH INCOME PORTFOLIOS invest
predominantly in junk bonds, which are considered speculative. The CORPORATE
BOND, MFS TOTAL RETURN, ASSET ALLOCATION, REAL ESTATE and MFS MID-CAP GROWTH
PORTFOLIOS also invest significantly in junk bonds. While the Adviser and
Subadvisers each tries to diversify its portfolio and to engage in a credit
analysis of each junk bond issuer in which it invests, junk bonds carry a
substantial risk of default or changes in the issuer's creditworthiness, or
they may already be in default. A junk bond's market price may fluctuate
more than higher-quality securities and may decline significantly. In
addition, it may be more difficult for a Portfolio to dispose of junk bonds
or to determine their value. Junk bonds may contain redemption or call
provisions that, if exercised during a period of declining interest rates,
may force a Portfolio to replace the security with a lower yielding
security. If this occurs, it will result in a decreased return for you.
Risks of Investing in Money Market Securities
While an investment in the CASH MANAGEMENT PORTFOLIO should present the
least market risk of any of the Portfolios since it invests only in
high-quality short-term debt obligations (money market securities), you
should be aware that an investment in the CASH MANAGEMENT PORTFOLIO is
subject to the risk that the value of its investments may be subject to
changes in interest rates. The CASH MANAGEMENT PORTFOLIO does not seek to
maintain a stable net asset value of $1.00.
Risks of Investing Internationally
Except for the CASH MANAGEMENT PORTFOLIO, all of the Portfolios may invest
internationally, including in "emerging market" countries. While investing
internationally may reduce your risk by increasing the diversification of
your investment, 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. These risks affect
all the Portfolios except for the CASH MANAGEMENT PORTFOLIO and are primary
risks of the
6
<PAGE> 26
GLOBAL BOND, WORLDWIDE HIGH INCOME, INTERNATIONAL GROWTH AND INCOME, GLOBAL
EQUITIES, INTERNATIONAL DIVERSIFIED EQUITIES and EMERGING MARKETS
PORTFOLIOS.
Risks of Investing in Smaller Companies
Stocks of smaller companies may be more volatile than, and not as liquid as,
those of larger companies. This will particularly affect the GROWTH-INCOME,
ALLIANCE GROWTH, PUTNAM GROWTH, AGGRESSIVE GROWTH, INTERNATIONAL GROWTH AND
INCOME and EMERGING MARKETS PORTFOLIOS.
Risks of a "Passively Managed" Strategy
The "DOGS" OF WALL STREET PORTFOLIO will not deviate from its strategy
(except to the extent necessary to comply with federal tax laws). Since the
Portfolio is committed to a strategy, if that strategy is unsuccessful, the
Portfolio will not meet its investment goal. Because the Portfolio will not
use certain techniques available to other mutual funds to reduce stock
market exposure, the Portfolio may be more susceptible to general market
declines than other Portfolios.
Risks of Investing in Utility Securities
The UTILITY PORTFOLIO invests primarily in equity and debt securities of
utility companies that produce, transmit, or distribute gas and electric
energy as well as those companies that provide communications facilities,
such as telephone and telegraph companies. Such utility securities entail
certain risks including: (i) utility companies' historic difficulty in
earning adequate returns on investment despite frequent rate increases; (ii)
restrictions on operations and increased costs and delays due to
governmental regulations; (iii) building or construction delays; (iv)
environmental regulations; (v) difficulty of the capital markets in
absorbing utility debt and equity securities; and (vi) difficulties in
obtaining fuel at reasonable prices.
To attempt to reduce these risks, the Subadviser will perform its own credit
analysis in addition to using recognized rating agencies and will obtain
information from other sources, including the issuer's management and other
investment analysts.
Risks of Investing in Real Estate Securities
The REAL ESTATE PORTFOLIO invests primarily in the real estate industry. A
Portfolio that invests primarily in the real estate industry is subject to
the risks associated with the direct ownership of real estate. The Portfolio
could also be subject to the risks of direct ownership as a result of a
default on a debt security it may own. These risks include declines in the
value of real estate, risks related to general and local economic
conditions, overbuilding and increased competition, increases in property
taxes and operating expenses, changes in zoning laws, casualty or
condemnation losses, fluctuations in rental income, changes in neighborhood
values, the appeal of properties to tenants and increases in interest rates.
If the Portfolio has rental income or income from the disposition of real
property, the receipt of such income may adversely affect its ability to
retain its tax status as a regulated investment company. Most of the
Portfolio's investments are, and likely will continue to be, interests in
Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs).
Risks of Investing in "Non-Diversified" Portfolios
The GLOBAL BOND, WORLDWIDE HIGH INCOME, "DOGS" OF WALL STREET, MFS MID-CAP
GROWTH and INTERNATIONAL DIVERSIFIED EQUITIES PORTFOLIOS are organized as
"non-diversified" Portfolios. A non-diversified Portfolio can invest a
larger portion of assets in the securities of a single company than can some
other mutual funds. By concentrating in a smaller number of securities, a
Portfolio's risk is increased because the effect of each security on the
Portfolio's performance is greater.
Additional Principal Risks
Shares of the Portfolios are not bank deposits and are not guaranteed or
insured by any bank, 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 Portfolios by showing changes in the Portfolios'
performance from calendar year to calendar year, and comparing the
Portfolios' average annual returns to those of an appropriate market index.
Fees and expenses incurred at the contract level are not reflected in the
bar charts and tables. 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 MFS MID-CAP GROWTH PORTFOLIO is not shown because the
Portfolio has not been in existence for a full calendar year.

ACCOUNT INFORMATION
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Shares of the Portfolios are not offered directly to the public. Instead, shares
are currently issued and redeemed only in connection with investments in and
payments under variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies
(Variable Contracts) of Anchor National Life Insurance Company, First SunAmerica
Life Insurance Company, AIG Life Insurance Company and American International
Life Assurance Company of New York (Life Companies), each of which is affiliated
with the Trust's investment adviser and manager, SunAmerica Asset Management
Corp. (SAAMCo). All shares of the Trust are owned by "Separate Accounts" of the
Life Companies. So if you would like to invest in a Portfolio, you must purchase
a Variable Contract from one of the Life Companies. You should be aware that the
contracts involve fees and expenses that are not described in this Prospectus,
and that the contracts also may involve certain restrictions and limitations.
Certain Portfolios may not be available in connection with a particular
contract. You will find information about purchasing a Variable Contract and the
Portfolios available to you in the prospectus that offers the contracts, which
accompanies this Prospectus.
TRANSACTION POLICIES
VALUATION OF SHARES The net asset value per share (NAV) for each Portfolio 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 its net assets by
the number of its shares outstanding. Investments for which market quotations
are readily available are valued at market. All other securities and assets are
valued at "fair value" following procedures approved by the Trustees.
Certain of the Portfolios may invest to a large extent in securities that are
primarily listed on foreign exchanges that trade on weekends or other days when
the Trust does not price its shares. As a result, the value of these Portfolios'
shares may change on days when the Trust is not open for purchases or
redemptions.
BUY AND SELL PRICES The Separate Accounts buy and sell shares of a Portfolio at
NAV, without any sales or other charges.
EXECUTION OF REQUESTS The Trust is open on those days when the New York Stock
Exchange is open for regular trading. Buy and sell requests are executed at the
next NAV to be calculated after the request is accepted by the Trust. If the
order is received by the Trust before the Trust's close of business (generally
4:00 p.m., Eastern time), the order will receive that day's closing price. If
the order is received after that time, it will receive the next business day's
closing price.
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 seven business days or longer, as allowed by federal
securities laws.
DIVIDEND POLICIES AND TAXES
DISTRIBUTIONS Each Portfolio annually declares and distributes substantially all
of its net investment income in the form of dividends and capital gains
distributions.
DISTRIBUTION REINVESTMENT The dividends and distributions will be reinvested
automatically in additional shares of the same Portfolio on which they were
paid.
TAXABILITY OF A PORTFOLIO Each Portfolio intends to continue to qualify as a
regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended. As long as each Portfolio is qualified as a regulated investment
company, it will not be subject to federal income tax on the earnings that it
distributes to its shareholders.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE "DOGS" OF WALL STREET PORTFOLIO
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
INVESTMENT STRATEGY FOR THE "DOGS" OF WALL STREET PORTFOLIO
The "DOGS" OF WALL STREET PORTFOLIO employs a passively managed "buy and hold"
strategy that annually selects the following 30 stocks: (1) the 10 highest
yielding common stocks in the Dow Jones Industrial Average and (2) the 20 other
highest yielding stocks of the 400 largest industrial companies in the U.S.
markets that have capitalizations of at least $1 billion and have received one
of the two highest rankings from an independently published common stock ranking
service on the basis of growth and stability of earnings and dividends. The
stocks in the Portfolio will not change over the course of the year, even if
there are adverse developments concerning a particular stock, an industry, the
economy or the stock market generally. The annual selection of the thirty stocks
that meet these criteria takes place no later than January 15th, on the basis of
information as of the preceding December 31st. Immediately after the Portfolio
buys and sells stocks, it will hold an equal value of each of the thirty stocks.
In other words, the Portfolio will invest 1/30 of its assets in each of the
stocks that make up its portfolio. Thereafter, when an investor purchases shares
of the Portfolio, the Adviser invests the additional funds in the selected
stocks based on each stock's respective percentage of the Portfolio's assets.
Due to purchases and redemptions of Portfolio shares during the year and changes
in the market value of the stocks held by the Portfolio, it is likely that the
weightings of the stocks in the Portfolio will fluctuate throughout the course
of the year. This may result in the Portfolio investing more than 25% of its
assets in the securities of issuers in the same industry, to the extent such
investments are selected according to the Portfolio's stock selection criteria.

INVESTMENT STRATEGIES
Each Portfolio has its own investment goal and principal strategy for pursuing
it as described in the charts beginning on page 3. The charts below summarize
information about each Portfolio's investments. We have included a glossary to
define the investment and risk terminology used in the charts throughout this
Prospectus. Unless otherwise indicated, investment restrictions, including
percentage limitations, apply at the time of purchase.

GLOSSARY
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
INVESTMENT TERMINOLOGY
BORROWING FOR TEMPORARY OR EMERGENCY PURPOSES involves the borrowing of cash or
securities by a Portfolio in limited circumstances, including to meet
redemptions. Borrowing will cost a Portfolio interest expense and other fees.
Borrowing may exaggerate changes in a Portfolio's net asset value and the cost
may reduce a Portfolio's return.
CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS include the purchase and sale of currencies to facilitate
the settlement of securities transactions and forward currency contracts, which
are used to hedge against changes in currency exchange rates.
DEFENSIVE INVESTMENTS include high quality fixed income securities, repurchase
agreements and other 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.
EQUITY SECURITIES, such as COMMON STOCKS, represent shares of equity ownership
in a corporation. Common stocks may or may not receive dividend payments.
Certain securities have common stock characteristics, including certain
convertible securities such as CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK, CONVERTIBLE BONDS,
WARRANTS and RIGHTS, and may be classified as equity securities. Investments in
equity securities and securities with equity characteristics include:
- LARGE-CAP STOCKS are common stocks of large companies that generally have
market capitalizations of over $9.5 billion, although there may be some
overlap among capitalization categories. Market capitalization categories
may change based on market conditions or changes in market capitalization
classifications as defined by agencies such as Standard & Poor's (S&P),
the Frank Russell Company (Russell), Morningstar, Inc. (Morningstar) or
Lipper, Inc. (Lipper).
- MID-CAP STOCKS are common stocks of medium sized companies that generally
have market capitalizations ranging from $1.5 billion to $9.5 billion,
although there may be some overlap among capitalization categories.
Market capitalization categories may change based on market conditions or
changes in market capitalization classifications as defined by agencies
such as S&P, Russell, Morningstar or Lipper. With respect to the MFS
MID-CAP GROWTH PORTFOLIO, the Subadviser will consider companies with
market capitalizations equaling or exceeding $250 million but not
exceeding the top range of the Russell MidCap(TM) Growth Index to be
medium sized companies.
- SMALL-CAP STOCKS are common stocks of small companies that generally have
market capitalizations of $1.5 billion or less, although there may be
some overlap among capitalization categories. Market capitalization
categories may change based on market conditions or changes in market
capitalization classifications as defined by agencies such as S&P,
Russell, Morningstar, or Lipper.
- CONVERTIBLE SECURITIES are securities (such as bonds or preferred stocks)
that may be converted into common stock of the same or a different
company.
- WARRANTS are rights to buy common stock of a company at a specified price
during the life of the warrant.
- RIGHTS represent a preemptive right of stockholders to purchase
additional shares of a stock at the time of a new issuance before the
stock is offered to the general public.
EQUITY SWAPS are exchanges of the total return on a stock for the total return
on another asset, usually a diversified equity or fixed income index.
FIRM COMMITMENT AGREEMENTS and WHEN-ISSUED or DELAYED-DELIVERY TRANSACTIONS call
for the purchase or sale of securities at an agreed-upon price on a specified
future date. At the time of delivery of the securities, the value may be more or
less than the purchase price.
38
<PAGE> 58
FIXED INCOME SECURITIES are broadly classified as securities that provide for
periodic payment, typically interest or dividend payments, to the holder of the
security at a stated rate. Most fixed income securities, such as bonds,
represent indebtedness of the issuer and provide for repayment of principal at a
stated time in the future. Others do not provide for repayment of a principal
amount. The issuer of a SENIOR FIXED INCOME SECURITY is obligated to make
payments on this security ahead of other payments to security holders.
Investments in fixed income securities include:
- U.S. GOVERNMENT SECURITIES are issued or guaranteed by the U.S.
government, its agencies and instrumentalities. Some U.S. government
securities are issued or unconditionally guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury.
They are of the highest possible credit quality. While these securities
are subject to variations in market value due to fluctuations in interest
rates, they will be paid in full if held to maturity. Other U.S.
government securities are neither direct obligations of, nor guaranteed
by, the U.S. Treasury. However, they involve federal sponsorship in one
way or another. For example, some are backed by specific types of
collateral; some are supported by the issuer's right to borrow from the
Treasury; some are supported by the discretionary authority of the
Treasury to purchase certain obligations of the issuer; and others are
supported only by the credit of the issuing government agency or
instrumentality.
- CORPORATE DEBT INSTRUMENTS (BONDS, NOTES AND DEBENTURES) are securities
representing a debt of a corporation. The issuer is obligated to repay a
principal amount of indebtedness at a stated time in the future and in
most cases to make periodic payments of interest at a stated rate.
- An INVESTMENT GRADE FIXED INCOME SECURITY is rated in one of the top four
rating categories by a debt rating agency (or is considered of comparable
quality by the Adviser or Subadviser). The two best-known debt rating
agencies are S&P and Moody's Investors Service, Inc.( Moody's).
INVESTMENT GRADE refers to any security rated "BBB" or above by S&P or
"Baa" or above by Moody's.
- A JUNK BOND is a high yield, high risk bond that does not meet the credit
quality standards of an investment grade security.
- PASS-THROUGH SECURITIES involve various debt obligations that are backed
by a pool of mortgages or other assets. Principal and interest payments
made on the underlying asset pools are typically passed through to
investors. Types of pass-through securities include mortgage-backed
securities, collateralized mortgage obligations, commercial
mortgage-backed securities, and asset-backed securities.
- PREFERRED STOCKS receive dividends at a specified rate and have
preference over common stock in the payment of dividends and the
liquidation of assets.
- ZERO-COUPON BONDS, DEFERRED INTEREST BONDS AND PIK BONDS. Zero coupon and
deferred interest bonds are debt obligations issued or purchased at a
significant discount from face value. A step-coupon bond is one in which
a change in interest rate is fixed contractually in advance.
Payable-in-kind ("PIK bonds") are debt obligations that provide that the
issuer thereof may, at its option, pay interest on such bonds in cash or
in the form of additional debt obligations.
FOREIGN SECURITIES are issued by companies located outside of the United States,
including emerging markets. Foreign securities may include foreign corporate and
government bonds, foreign equity securities, foreign investment companies,
passive foreign investment companies (PFICs), American Depositary Receipts
(ADRs) or other similar securities that represent interests in foreign equity
securities, such as European Depositary Receipts (EDRs) and Global Depositary
Receipts (GDRs). An EMERGING MARKET country is generally one with a low or
middle income or economy or that is in the early stages of its industrialization
cycle. For fixed income investments, an emerging market includes those where the
sovereign credit rating is below investment grade. Emerging market countries may
change over time depending on market and economic conditions and the list of
emerging market countries may vary by Adviser or Subadviser.
FORWARD COMMITMENTS are commitments to purchase or sell securities at a future
date. A Portfolio purchasing a forward commitment assumes the risk of any
decline in value of the securities beginning on
39
<PAGE> 59
the date of the agreement. Similarly, a Portfolio selling such securities does
not participate in further gains or losses on the date of the agreement.
HYBRID INSTRUMENTS, such as INDEXED (i.e., Standard and Poor's Depositary
Receipts and World Equity Benchmark Shares) and STRUCTURED SECURITIES, can
combine the characteristics of securities, futures, and options. For example,
the principal amount, redemption, or conversion terms of a security could be
related to the market price of some commodity, currency, or securities index.
Such securities may bear interest or pay dividends at below market (or even
relatively nominal) rates. Under certain conditions, the redemption value of
such an investment could be zero.
ILLIQUID/RESTRICTED SECURITIES are subject to legal or contractual restrictions
that may make them difficult to sell. A security that cannot easily be sold
within seven days will generally be considered illiquid. Certain restricted
securities (such as Rule 144A securities) are not generally considered illiquid
because of their established trading market.
INTEREST RATE SWAPS, CAPS, FLOORS AND COLLARS. Interest rate swaps involve the
exchange by a Portfolio with another party of their respective commitments to
pay or receive interest, such as an exchange of fixed-rate payments for floating
rate payments. The purchase of an interest rate cap entitles the purchaser, to
the extent that a specified index exceeds a predetermined interest rate, to
receive payment of interest on a notional principal amount from the party
selling such interest rate cap. The purchase of an interest rate floor entitles
the purchaser, to the extent that a specified index falls below a predetermined
interest rate, to receive payments of interest on a notional principal amount
from the party selling the interest rate floor. An interest rate collar is the
combination of a cap and a floor that preserves a certain return within a
predetermined range of interest rates.
INVERSE FLOATERS are leveraged inverse floating rate debt instruments. The
interest rate on an inverse floater resets in the opposite direction from the
market rate of interest to which the inverse floater is indexed. An inverse
floater may be considered to be leveraged to the extent that its interest rate
varies by a magnitude that exceeds the magnitude of the change in the index rate
of interest. The higher degree of leverage inherent in inverse floaters is
associated with greater volatility in their market values. Accordingly, the
duration of an inverse floater may exceed its stated final maturity. Certain
inverse floaters may be deemed to be illiquid securities for purposes of a
Portfolio's 15% limitation on investments in such securities.
LOAN PARTICIPATIONS are investments in which a Portfolio acquires some or all of
the interest of a bank or other lending institution in a loan to a corporate
borrower. The highly leveraged nature of many such loans may make such loans
especially vulnerable to adverse changes in economic or market conditions. As a
result, a Portfolio may be unable to sell such investments at an opportune time
or may have to resell them at less than fair market value.
OPTIONS AND FUTURES are contracts involving the right to receive or the
obligation to deliver assets or money depending on the performance of one or
more underlying assets or a market or economic index. An option gives its owner
the right, but not the obligation, to buy ("call") or sell ("put") a specified
amount of a security at a specified price within in a specified time period. A
futures contract is an exchange-traded legal contract to buy or sell a standard
quantity and quality of a commodity, financial instrument, index, etc. at a
specified future date and price.
REGISTERED INVESTMENT COMPANIES are investments by a Portfolio in other
investment companies which are registered in accordance with the federal
securities laws.
REITS (real estate investment trusts) are trusts that invest primarily in
commercial real estate or real estate related loans. The value of an interest in
a REIT may be affected by the value and the cash flows of the properties owned
or the quality of the mortgages held by the trust.
ROLL TRANSACTIONS involve the sale of mortgage or other asset-backed securities
("roll securities") with the commitment to purchase substantially similar (same
type, coupon and maturity) but not identical securities on a specified future
date.
40
<PAGE> 60
SECURITIES LENDING involves a loan of securities by a Portfolio in exchange for
cash or collateral. A Portfolio earns interest on the loan while retaining
ownership of the security.
SHORT SALES: A short sale involves the selling of a security which the
Portfolio does not own in anticipation of a decline in the market value of the
security. In such transactions the Portfolio borrows the security for delivery
to the buyer and must eventually replace the borrowed security for return to the
lender. The Portfolio bears the risk that price at the time of replacement may
be greater than the price at which the security was sold.
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.
RISK TERMINOLOGY
ACTIVE TRADING: A strategy used whereby the Portfolio may engage in frequent
trading of portfolio securities to achieve its investment goal. 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. 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. During periods of increased market volatility, active trading
may be more pronounced. In the "Financial Highlights" section we provide each
Portfolio's portfolio turnover rate for each of the last five fiscal years.
CREDIT QUALITY: The creditworthiness of the issuer is always a factor in
analyzing fixed income securities. An issuer with a lower credit rating will be
more likely than a higher rated issuer to default or otherwise become unable to
honor its financial obligations. This type of issuer will typically issue JUNK
BONDS. In addition to the risk of default, junk bonds may be more volatile, less
liquid, more difficult to value and more susceptible to adverse economic
conditions or investor perceptions than other bonds.
CURRENCY VOLATILITY: The value of a Portfolio's foreign 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-U.S. dollar denominated securities.
DERIVATIVES: A derivative is any financial instrument whose value is based on,
and determined by, another security, index or benchmark (i.e., stock options,
futures, caps, floors, etc.). In recent years, derivative securities have become
increasingly important in the field of finance. Futures and options are now
actively traded on many different exchanges. Forward contracts, swaps, and many
different types of options are regularly traded outside of exchanges by
financial institutions in what are termed "over the counter" markets. Other more
specialized derivative securities often form part of a bond or stock issue. To
the extent a contract is used to hedge another position in the portfolio, the
Portfolio will be exposed to the risks associated with hedging as describe in
this glossary. To the extent an option or futures contract is used to enhance
return, rather than as a hedge, a Portfolio will be directly exposed to the
risks of the contract. Gains or losses from non-hedging positions may be
substantially greater than the cost of the position.
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 in the U.S.
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 an issuer is in an EMERGING MARKET.
Historically, 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.
41
<PAGE> 61
GROWTH STOCKS: Growth stocks can be volatile for several reasons. Since the
issuers usually reinvest a high portion of earnings in their own business,
growth stocks may lack the comfortable dividend yield associated with value
stocks that can cushion total return in a bear market. Also, growth stocks
normally carry a higher price/earnings ratio than many other stocks.
Consequently, if earnings expectations are not met, the market price of growth
stocks will often go down more than other stocks. However, the market frequently
rewards growth stocks with price increases when expectations are met or
exceeded.
HEDGING: Hedging is a strategy in which a Portfolio 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. Hedging also involves the risk that changes in the value of the
derivative will not match those of the instruments being hedged as expected, in
which case any losses on the instruments being hedged may not be reduced.
ILLIQUIDITY: There may not be a market for certain securities making it
difficult or impossible to sell at the time and the price that the seller would
like.
INTEREST RATE FLUCTUATIONS: The volatility of fixed income securities is due
principally to changes in interest rates. The market value of bonds and other
fixed income securities usually tends to vary inversely with the level of
interest rates. As interest rates rise the value of such securities typically
falls, and as interest rates fall, the value of such securities typically rise.
Longer-term and lower coupon bonds tend to be more sensitive to changes in
interest rates.
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.
NON-DIVERSIFIED STATUS: Portfolios registered as "non-diversified" investment
companies can invest a larger portion of their assets in the stock of a single
company than can diversified investment companies, and thus they can concentrate
in a smaller number of securities. A non-diversified investment company's risk
may increase because the effect of each security on the Portfolio's performance
is greater.
PASSIVELY MANAGED STRATEGY: A Portfolio following a passively managed strategy
will not deviate from its investment strategy. In the case of "Dogs" of Wall
Street Portfolio, this entails buying and holding thirty stocks selected through
objective selection criteria (except to the extent necessary to comply with
applicable federal tax laws). In other cases, it may involve a passively managed
strategy utilized to achieve investment results that correspond to a particular
market index. Such a Portfolio will not sell stocks in its portfolio and buy
different stocks over the course of a year, even if there are adverse
developments concerning a particular stock, company or industry. There can be no
assurance that the strategy will be successful.
PREPAYMENT: Prepayment risk is the possibility that the principal of the loans
underlying mortgage-backed or other pass-through securities may be prepaid at
any time. As a general rule, prepayments increase during a period of falling
interest rates and decrease during a period of rising interest rates. As a
result of prepayments, in periods of declining interest rates a Portfolio may be
required to reinvest its assets in securities with lower interest rates. In
periods of increasing interest rates, prepayments generally may decline, with
the effect that the securities subject to prepayment risk held by a Portfolio
may exhibit price characteristics of longer-term debt securities.
REAL ESTATE INDUSTRY: Risks include declines in the value of real estate, risks
related to general and local economic conditions, overbuilding and increased
competition, increases in property taxes and operating expenses, changes in
zoning laws, casualty or condemnation losses, fluctuations in rental income,
changes in neighborhood values, the appeal of properties to tenants and
increases in interest rates. If the Portfolio has rental income or income from
the disposition of real property, the receipt of such income may adversely
affect its ability to retain its tax status as a regulated investment company.
In addition, REITs are dependent upon management skill, may not be diversified
and are subject to project financing risks. Such trusts are also subject to
heavy cash flow dependency, defaults by borrowers, self-liquidation and the
possibility of failing to qualify for tax-free pass-through of income under the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and to maintain exemption from
registration under the 1940 Act.
42
<PAGE> 62
SECURITIES SELECTION: A strategy used by a Portfolio, or securities selected by
its portfolio manager, may fail to produce the intended return.
SMALL AND MEDIUM SIZED COMPANIES: Companies with smaller market capitalizations
(particularly under $1.5 billion) 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. Consequently, the securities of smaller
companies may not be as readily marketable and may be subject to more abrupt or
erratic market movements. Securities of medium sized companies are also usually
more volatile and entail greater risks than securities of large companies.
UTILITY INDUSTRY: Risks include (i) utility companies' difficulty in earning
adequate returns on investment despite frequent rate increases; (ii)
restrictions on operations and increased costs and delays due to governmental
regulations; (iii) building or construction delays; (iv) environmental
regulations; (v) difficulty of the capital markets in absorbing utility debt and
equity securities; and (vi) difficulties in obtaining fuel at reasonable prices.
