Supplement dated July 22, 2008

to the Prospectus dated February 28, 2008,

as Supplemented on March 20, 2008 and July 2, 2008

On July 21, 2008, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Fund approved a number of changes to the Portfolios, effective August 22, 2008. The Board approved a change in the number of securities the Portfolios are permitted to hold. Effective August 22, 2008, each Portfolio will be permitted to invest in between 30 to 50 securities generally, although an Adviser may, in its discretion, hold less than 30 securities. Accordingly, effective August 22, 2008, the second paragraph in the left hand column of page 2 of the Prospectus in the section “Portfolio Highlights—Q&A” is hereby deleted and replaced with the following:

“A focused strategy is one in which an Adviser actively invests in a small number of holdings which constitute its favorite stock-picking ideas at any given moment. A focus philosophy reflects the belief that, over time, the performance of most investment managers’ “highest confidence” stocks exceeds that of their more diversified portfolios. The Focused Large-Cap Growth Portfolio, Focused Growth Portfolio, Focused Mid-Cap Growth Portfolio, Focused Small-Cap Growth Portfolio, Focused Large-Cap Value Portfolio, Focused Value Portfolio, Focused Mid-Cap Value Portfolio, Focused Small-Cap Value Portfolio, Focused Growth and Income Portfolio and Focused Technology Portfolio will generally hold between 30 to 50 securities, although an Adviser may, in its discretion, hold less than 30 securities. Each Adviser to the Focused International Equity Portfolio will generally invest in up to 20 securities and this Portfolio will generally hold up to a total of 60 securities. Each Adviser to the Focused StarALPHA Portfolio will generally invest in up to 10 securities and this Portfolio will generally hold 30 to 50 securities depending on the number of Advisers that it employs. The Focused Dividend Strategy Portfolio will generally hold up to 30 securities. Examples of when a Portfolio may hold more than the specified number of securities include, but are not limited to, re-balancing or purchase and sale transactions, including where a new subadviser is selected to manage a Portfolio or a portion of a Portfolio’s assets. Each Adviser may invest in additional financial instruments for the purpose of cash management or to hedge a security portfolio position.”

The Board also approved changes to provide for the portfolio management of each Portfolio to change from a multi-manager structure to a single-manager structure. AIG SunAmerica Asset Management Corp. (“AIG SunAmerica”) will remain the investment adviser of each Portfolio; however, effective August 22, 2008, each Portfolio will be advised by a single Adviser.

Effective August 22, 2008, on page 3 of the Prospectus, under the section “Additional Information About the Portfolios,” the entire paragraph is hereby deleted and replaced with the following:

“Each Portfolio is managed by a single Adviser, except for the Focused International Equity Portfolio and the Focused StarALPHA Portfolio. The Focused International Equity Portfolio provides investors with access to three different Advisers, and the Focused StarALPHA Portfolio provides investors with access to three to five different Advisers, each with a distinct methodology. The term “Adviser” refers to subadvisers selected by

 

1


AIG SunAmerica Asset Management Corp. (“AIG SunAmerica”), the Portfolios’ investment adviser, and AIG SunAmerica to the extent it manages all or a portion of a Portfolio. In addition, the Focused Large-Cap Growth Portfolio, Focused Large-Cap Value Portfolio, Focused Mid-Cap Growth Portfolio, Focused Mid-Cap Value Portfolio, Focused Small-Cap Growth Portfolio, Focused Small-Cap Value Portfolio, Focused Technology Portfolio, Focused Dividend Strategy Portfolio and Focused International Equity Portfolio all have principal investment techniques which require 80% of each Portfolio’s assets be invested consistently with its name. A Portfolio may change this technique without shareholder approval; however, shareholders will receive 60 days’ notice prior to any such change.”

At this same meeting, the Board approved an amendment to the Investment Advisory and Management Agreement between AIG SunAmerica and the Fund (the “Advisory Agreement”), pursuant to which the advisory fee payable to AIG SunAmerica will be decreased, effective August 22, 2008, with respect to the following Portfolios: (i) with respect to the Focused Large-Cap Value Portfolio and the Focused Small-Cap Value Portfolio, the advisory fee will be decreased from an annual rate of 1.00% of each of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets to an annual rate of 0.75% of each of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets and (ii) with respect to the Focused Large-Cap Growth Portfolio, the advisory fee will be decreased from an annual rate of 0.85% of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets to an annual rate of 0.75% of the Portfolio’s average daily net assets. The advisory fee payable to AIG SunAmerica with respect to the other Portfolios will remain the same. The transition from a multi-manager structure to single manager structure may cause the Portfolios to incur transaction costs associated with the restructuring of the portfolio holdings of the Portfolios, and may also result in increased realized gains or losses that could therefore affect the level of taxable distributions to shareholders. The specific Adviser changes for each Portfolio are discussed below.

Effective August 22, 2008, AIG SunAmerica, which currently is responsible for managing a portion of the Portfolio, will no longer manage any portion of the Portfolio; however, AIG SunAmerica will remain as the Portfolio’s investment adviser. Effective August 22, 2008, BlackRock will assume portfolio management responsibilities for the entire Portfolio, and Mr. Robert C. Doll, Jr. and Mr. Daniel Hanson will serve as portfolio managers. An Information Statement containing more detailed information about BlackRock and the new Subadvisory Agreement will be mailed to shareholders no later than 60 days after the effective date of the new Subadvisory Agreement.

Because these fees are paid out of a Portfolio’s assets on an ongoing basis, over time these fees will increase the cost of your investment and may cost you more than paying other types of sales charges.

Class I and Class Z shares are offered exclusively to participants in certain employee retirement plans and other programs.

Through directed brokerage arrangements, a portion of the Portfolios’ expenses have been reduced. “Other Expenses” do not take into account this expense reduction and are therefore higher than the actual expenses of the Fund.

Furthermore, effective August 22, 2008, the information for the Focused Large-Cap Growth Portfolio, Focused Large-Cap Value Portfolio and Focused Small-Cap Value Portfolio in the table under the section “Portfolio Management” on page 49 of the Prospectus is hereby restated as follows to reflect the new advisory fee rates:

Focused Large-Cap Growth Portfolio

Focused Large-Cap Value Portfolio

   0.75 %

Focused Small-Cap Value Portfolio

   0.75 %

The Board also approved an amendment to the Subadvisory Agreement between AIG SunAmerica and Reich & Tang, pursuant to which the subadvisory fee payable by AIG SunAmerica to Reich & Tang with respect

 

12


to the Focused Mid-Cap Value Portfolio will be decreased so that, effective August 22, 2008, the subadvisory fee payable to Reich & Tang will be 0.45% of average daily net assets on the first $50 million, 0.40% of average daily net assets on the next $100 million and 0.35% of average daily net assets thereafter. Under the Subadvisory Agreement, AIG SunAmerica is solely responsible for payment of fees to Reich & Tang and this amendment does not impact any obligation of the Focused Mid-Cap Value Portfolio pursuant to the Advisory Agreement. Furthermore, this reduction in fees payable to Reich & Tang will not result in any material change in the nature or quality of overall advisory and administrative services provided to the Focused Mid-Cap Value Portfolio pursuant to the Advisory Agreement or Subadvisory Agreement.

Effective August 22, 2008, on page 49 of the Prospectus, under the section “Additional Information About AIG SunAmerica,” the first paragraph is hereby deleted and replaced with the following:

“AIG SunAmerica, as the Focused International Equity Fund’s and Focused StarALPHA Portfolio’s investment manager, will initially allocate the assets of the these Portfolios equally among the Portfolios’ Advisers. AIG SunAmerica will also allocate new cash from share purchases and proceeds of redemption requests equally, unless AIG SunAmerica determines that a different allocation of assets would be in the best interests of the Portfolios and their shareholders. AIG SunAmerica intends to periodically review the asset allocation in the Focused International Equity Portfolio and Focused StarALPHA Portfolio to determine whether the portion of assets managed by any Adviser significantly differs in size from the portions managed by the other Advisers to the these Portfolios. In the event such a significant differential exists, AIG SunAmerica will determine whether to reallocate cash flows among the Advisers differently from the manner described above, in an effort to rebalance the Portfolios’ assets. In some instances, the effect of the reallocation will be to shift assets from a better performing portion of a Portfolio to a portion of the Portfolio with a relatively lower total return. In general, AIG SunAmerica will not rebalance or reallocate the existing assets of the Focused International Equity Portfolio or Focused StarALPHA Portfolio among Advisers.”

SunAmerica Focused Asset Allocation Strategies

Focused Balanced Strategy Portfolio

Focused Equity Strategy Portfolio

Focused Fixed Income and Equity Strategy Portfolio

Focused Fixed Income Strategy Portfolio

Focused Multi-Asset Strategy Portfolio

(the “Asset Allocation Portfolios”)

Supplement dated July 22, 2008

to the Prospectus dated February 28, 2008,

as Supplemented on March 13, 2008 and July 1, 2008

The Asset Allocation Portfolios invest in a combination of funds, including other series of the Fund, which serve as Underlying Funds in the Asset Allocation Portfolios. On June 30, 2008, the Board of Directors of the Fund (the “Board”) approved certain changes to the Focused Growth Portfolio, Focused Small-Cap Growth Portfolio, and Focused Mid-Cap Growth Portfolio of the Fund, effective August 4, 2008, including (i) changes in the number of securities the these Portfolios are permitted to hold so that each Portfolio will be permitted to generally invest in between 30 to 50 securities, although an adviser may, in its discretion, hold less than 30 securities, and (ii) changes in the portfolio management of these Portfolios to provide for portfolio management by one adviser, in lieu of the current multi-manager strategy. On July 21, 2008, the Board approved similar changes with respect to the Focused Large-Cap Growth Portfolio, Focused Large-Cap Value Portfolio, Focused Value Portfolio, Focused Mid-Cap Value Portfolio, Focused Small-Cap Value Portfolio and Focused Growth and Income Portfolio of the Fund, effective August 22, 2008. Accordingly, effective August 22, 2008, the first paragraph on page 31 under the heading “INFORMATION ABOUT THE UNDERLYING FUNDS,” is hereby deleted and replaced with the following:

“A focused strategy is one in which an adviser actively invests in a small number of holdings which constitute its favorite stock-picking ideas at any given moment. A focus philosophy reflects the belief that, over time, the performance of most investment managers’ “highest confidence” stocks exceeds that of their more diversified portfolios. The Focused Large-Cap Growth Portfolio, Focused Growth Portfolio, Focused Mid-Cap Growth Portfolio, Focused Small-Cap Growth Portfolio, Focused Large-Cap Value Portfolio, Focused Value Portfolio, Focused Mid-Cap Value Portfolio, Focused Small-Cap Value Portfolio, Focused Growth and Income Portfolio and Focused Technology Portfolio will generally hold between 30 to 50 securities, although an adviser may, in its discretion, hold less than 30 securities. Each adviser to the Focused International Equity Portfolio will generally invest in up to 20 securities and this Portfolio will generally hold up to a total of 60 securities. Each adviser to the Focused StarALPHA Portfolio will generally invest in up to 10 securities and this Portfolio will generally hold 30 to 50 securities depending on the number of advisers that it employs. The Focused Dividend Strategy Portfolio will generally hold up to 30 securities. Examples of when a Portfolio may hold more than the specified number of securities include, but are not limited to, re-balancing or purchase and sale transactions, including where a new subadviser is selected to manage a Portfolio or a portion of a Portfolio’s assets. Each adviser may invest in additional financial instruments for the purpose of cash management or to hedge a security portfolio position.”

As described in the Prospectus, AIG SunAmerica, as the Focused StarALPHA Portfolio’s and Focused International Equity Portfolio’s investment manager, will initially allocate the assets of the Portfolios equally among the Portfolios’ Advisers. AIG SunAmerica will also allocate new cash from share purchases and proceeds of redemption requests equally, unless AIG SunAmerica determines that a different allocation of assets would be in the best interests of either of the Portfolios and its shareholders. AIG SunAmerica intends to periodically review the asset allocation in each Portfolio to ensure that no portion of assets managed by an Adviser significantly differs from that portion managed by any other Adviser to the Portfolios. In the event such a significant differential exists, AIG SunAmerica will determine whether to reallocate cash flows among the Advisers differently from the manner described above, in an effort to rebalance Focused International Equity Portfolio’s or Focused StarALPHA Portfolio’s assets.
