The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated.

It does not reflect any Contract fees. It reflects the management fee waiver agreement for the first year. If Contract fees were included, the costs shown would be higher. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

The government securities in which the Fund may invest include any security issued or guaranteed as to principal or interest by the United States, or by a person controlled or supervised by and acting as an instrumentality of the Government of the United States pursuant to authority granted by the Congress of the United States, or any certificate of deposit for any of the foregoing.

 

Under normal circumstances, the Fund’s investments include U.S. Treasury bills, notes and other obligations issued or guaranteed as to principal and interest by the U.S. Government, its agencies or instrumentalities, and repurchase agreements secured by such obligations. In addition, the Fund may invest in variable and floating rate instruments and when-issued and delayed delivery securities, and forward commitment settlement securities transactions.

Principal Risks of Investing in the Fund
Performance Information

The following bar chart and table provide an indication of the risks of an investment in the Fund by showing changes in its performance from year to year and by showing how the Fund’s average annual returns for one year, five years, and ten years compare with the returns of the Three-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index, which is relevant to the Fund because it has characteristics similar to the Fund’s investment strategies.

 

Both the bar chart and the table assume reinvestment of dividends and distributions.

 

The performance of the Fund will vary from year to year. The Fund’s performance does not reflect the cost of insurance and separate account charges which are imposed under your Contract. If they were included, performance would be reduced. Past performance does not indicate how the Fund will perform in the future.

 

Prior to April 25, 2016, the Fund was known as the AZL Money Market Fund and managed pursuant to different investment strategies.
