AZL S&P 500 Index Fund
 Investment Objective

The Fund seeks to match the total return of the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index (“S&P 500®”).

 Fees and Expenses   Fees and Expenses of the Fund

The following table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy and hold shares of the Fund. The Fund is offered exclusively as an investment option for certain Contracts. The table below reflects only Fund expenses and does not reflect Contract fees and expenses. If Contract fees and expenses were included, the fees and expenses in the following table would be higher. Please refer to the Contract prospectus for a description of those fees and expenses.

Annual Fund Operating Expenses (expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment)

Example

This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year, that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same, and that you reinvest all dividends and distributions. It does not reflect any Contract fees. 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:

Portfolio Turnover

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 11% of the average value of its portfolio.

 Investments, Risks, and Performance   Principal Investment Strategies of the Fund

The Subadviser normally invests in all 500 stocks in the S&P 500® in proportion to their weighting in the index.

 

The Subadviser attempts to have a correlation between the Fund’s performance and that of the S&P 500® Index of at least 0.95 before expenses. A correlation of 1.00 would mean that the Fund and the index were perfectly correlated.

 

The S&P 500® is an unmanaged index of 500 common stocks chosen to reflect the industries of the U.S. economy and is often considered a proxy for the stock market in general. S&P® adjusts each company’s stock weighting in the index by the number of available float shares (those shares available to public investors) divided by the company’s total shares outstanding, which means larger companies with more available float shares have greater representation in the index than smaller ones.

 

In seeking to match the performance of the index, the Subadviser uses a passive management approach and generally purchases all of the stocks comprising the benchmark index. However, in certain circumstances the Subadviser may find it advantageous to purchase a representative sample of the stocks comprising the index. The Subadviser also may use stock index futures as a substitute for the sale or purchase of securities. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least

 

80% of the value of its net assets in the securities of or in a statistically selected sampling of the securities of companies included in the S&P 500 Index or in derivative instruments linked to that Index.

 

Industry Concentration Policy. The Fund will concentrate its investments (i.e., hold 25% or more of its total assets) in a particular industry or group of industries to approximately the same extent that the Index is concentrated.

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 those of a broad-based measure of market performance.

 

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.
