ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES AGREEMENT

 

WHEREAS, American Funds Insurance Series (the “Series”), a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end diversified investment company that consists of the funds set forth on Exhibit A (each a “Fund” and collectively the “Funds”) and may offer additional series of funds in the future;

 

WHEREAS, each Fund offers one or more of the following share classes of beneficial interest: Class 1, Class 1A, Class 2, and Class 4, as set forth on Exhibit A (Class 1, Class 1A, Class 2, and Class 4 shares collectively the “shares”);

 

WHEREAS, Capital Research and Management Company (the “Investment Adviser”), is a Delaware corporation registered under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended, and is engaged in the business of providing investment advisory and related services to the Series and to other investment companies;

 

WHEREAS, the Series wishes to have the Investment Adviser assist financial advisers and other intermediaries with their provision of service to contract owners who invest in variable insurance contracts and policies that use the funds in the Series as underlying investments and to arrange for and coordinate, monitor and oversee the activities performed by insurance companies that offer such contracts to investors (the “administrative services”);

 

WHEREAS, the Investment Adviser is willing to perform or to cause to be performed such administrative services for the Series’ shares on the terms and conditions set forth herein; and

 

WHEREAS, the Series and the Investment Adviser wish to enter into an Administrative Services Agreement (“Agreement”) whereby the Investment Adviser would perform or cause to be performed such administrative services for each Fund’s shares;

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained and other good and valuable consideration (the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged) the parties agree as follows:

 

1.       Services. During the term of this Agreement, the Investment Adviser shall perform or cause to be performed the administrative services set forth in Exhibit B hereto, as such exhibit may be amended from time to time by mutual consent of the parties.

 

 
 

2.       Effective Date and Termination of Agreement. This Agreement shall become effective on September 18, 2019 and unless terminated sooner it shall continue in effect until April 30, 2020. It may thereafter be continued from year to year only with the approval of a majority of those Trustees of the Series who are not “interested persons” of the Series (as defined in the 1940 Act) and have no direct or indirect financial interest in the operation of this Agreement or any agreement related to it (the “Independent Trustees”). The effective and termination dates of this Agreement with respect to the Funds are set forth on Exhibit A. This Agreement may be terminated as to the Series as a whole or any Fund in the Series or class of shares of the Funds individually at any time by vote of a majority of the Independent Trustees. The Investment Adviser may terminate this agreement upon sixty (60) days’ prior written notice to the Series.

 

3.       Amendment. No material amendment to this Agreement shall be made unless such amendment is approved by the vote of a majority of the Independent Trustees.

 

4.       Assignment. This Agreement shall not be assignable by either party hereto and in the event of assignment shall automatically terminate forthwith. The term “assignment” shall have the meaning set forth in the 1940 Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Investment Adviser is specifically authorized to contract with its affiliates for the provision of administrative services on behalf of the Series.

 

5.       Issuance of Additional Series of Funds. This Agreement may be adopted, amended, continued or renewed with respect to an additional series of shares as provided herein, notwithstanding that such adoption, amendment, continuance or renewal has not been effected with respect to any one or more other series of shares of the Series.

 

6.       Choice of Law. This Agreement shall be construed under and shall be governed by the laws of the State of California, and the parties hereto agree that proper venue of any action with respect hereto shall be Los Angeles County, California.
