AZL® Balanced Index Strategy Fund
Allianz Investment Management LLC serves as the Manager for the AZL® Balanced Index Strategy Fund.
What factors affected the Fund’s performance during the 12-month period ended December 31, 2010?
For the 12-month period ended December 31, 2010, the AZL® Balanced Index Strategy Fund had a return of 10.50%. That compared to a 11.29% total return for its benchmark, a composite index comprised of equal weightings in the S&P 500 Index1 and the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index2.
The Fund is a fund of funds that pursues broad diversification across four equity sub-portfolios and one fixed-income sub-portfolio. The four equity sub-portfolios pursue passive strategies that look to achieve, before fees, returns similar to the S&P 500 Index, the S&P MidCap 400 Index3, the S&P SmallCap 600 Index4 and the MSCI EAFE Index5, which represents shares of large companies in developed foreign markets. The fixed-income sub-portfolio, an enhanced bond index strategy, seeks to achieve a return that exceeds the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. Generally, the Fund allocates 40% to 60% of its assets to the underlying equity index funds and the remaining assets to the underlying bond index fund.
The Fund’s positive absolute return was driven by exceptionally strong returns for stocks during the period under review. Stocks advanced robustly during the period, led by small- and mid-cap shares. Mid-cap and small-cap stocks as measured by the S&P MidCap 400 Index and S&P Small Cap 600 Index were up 26.64% and 26.31%, respectively. The S&P 500 Index, a gauge of domestic large cap stocks, advanced 15.06%, while international stocks, as measured by the MSCI EAFE Index, returned 8.21%. Meanwhile, the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index returned 6.54%.
Fund expenses were the primary reason for the Fund’s underperformance relative to its benchmark. The positive impact of the Fund’s allocation to small- and mid-cap stocks was offset by the underperformance of the Fund’s allocation to international stocks, while the Fund’s fixed income position achieved returns similar to those of the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index.*

*   The Fund’s portfolio composition is subject to change. There is no guarantee that any sectors mentioned will continue to perform well or that securities in such sectors will be held by the Fund in the future. The information contained in this commentary is for informational purposes only and should not be construed as a recommendation to purchase or sell securities in the sector mentioned. The Fund’s holdings and weightings are as of December 31, 2010.
 
1   The Standard & Poor’s 500 Index (“S&P 500 Index”) is representative of 500 selected common stocks, most of which are listed on the New York Stock Exchange, and is a measure of the U.S. Stock market as a whole.
 
2   The Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index is a market value-weighted performance benchmark for investment-grade fixed-rate debt issues, including government, corporate, asset-backed, and mortgage-backed securities, with maturities of at least one year.
 
3   The S&P MidCap 400 Index (“S&P 400 Index”) is the most widely used index for mid-sized companies. The S&P 400 covers 7% of the U.S. equities market, and is part of a series of S&P U.S. indices that can be used as building blocks for portfolio composition.
 
4   The S&P SmallCap 600 covers approximately 3% of the domestic equities market. Measuring the small cap segment of the market that is typically renowned for poor trading liquidity and financial instability, the index is designed to be an efficient portfolio of companies that meet specific inclusion criteria to ensure that they are investable and financially viable.
 
5   The Morgan Stanley Capital International, Europe, Australasia and Far East (“MSCI EAFE”) Index is a free float-adjusted market capitalization-weighted index that is designed to measure the equity market performance of developed markets, excluding the U.S. & Canada.

AZL® Balanced Index Strategy Fund Review
Fund Objective
The Fund’s investment objective is to seek long-term capital appreciation with preservation of capital as an important consideration. This objective may be changed by the Trustees of the Fund without shareholder approval. The Fund seeks to achieve its objective by investing in a combination of Permitted Underlying Funds that represent different classes in the Fund’s asset allocation.
Investment Concerns
The Fund invests in underlying funds, so its investment performance is directly related to the performance of those underlying funds. Before investing, investors should assess the risks associated with and types of investments made by each of the underlying funds in which the Fund invests.
Stocks are more volatile and carry more risk and return potential than other forms of investments.
International investing may involve risk of capital loss from unfavorable fluctuations in currency values, from differences in generally accepted accounting principles or from economic or political instability in other nations.
Bonds offer a relatively stable level of income, although bond prices will fluctuate, providing the potential for principal gain or loss. Cash equivalents offer low risk and low return potential The performance of the Fund is expected to be lower than that of the Index because of Fund fees and expenses. Securities in which the Fund will invest may involve substantial risk and may be subject to sudden severe price declines.

Expense Ratio1   Gross
 
AZL® Balanced Index Strategy Fund
    0.83 %
The above expense ratio is based on the current Fund prospectus dated April 30, 2010. The Manager and the Fund have entered into a written contract limiting operating expenses, excluding certain expenses (such as interest expense), to 0.20% through April 30, 2012. Additional information pertaining to the December 31, 2010 expense ratios can be found in the financial highlights.
 
1   Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses are incurred indirectly by the Fund through the valuation of the Fund’s investments in the Permitted Underlying Funds. Accordingly, Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses affect the Fund’s total returns. Because these fees and expenses are not included in the Fund’s financial highlights, the Fund’s total annual fund operating expenses do not correlate to the ratios of expenses to average net assets shown in the financial highlights table. Without Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses the Fund’s gross ratio would be 0.20%.
The total return of the Fund does not reflect the effect of any insurance charges, the annual maintenance fee or the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Such charges, fees and tax payments would reduce the performance quoted.
The Fund’s performance is measured against a composite index (the “Balanced Composite Index”) which consists of 50% of the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index (“S&P 500 Index”) and 50% of the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. The S&P 500 Index is representative of 500 selected common stocks, most of which are listed on the New York Stock Exchange, and is a measure of the U.S. Stock market as a whole. The Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index is a market value-weighted performance benchmark for investment-grade fixed-rate debt issues, including government, corporate, asset-backed, and mortgage-backed securities, with maturities of at least one year. These indices are unmanaged and do not reflect the deduction of fees associated with a mutual fund, such as investment management and fund accounting fees. The Fund’s performance reflects the deduction of fees for services provided to the Fund. Investors cannot invest directly in an index.

Expense Examples and Portfolio Composition
(Unaudited)
 
As a shareholder of the AZL Balanced Index Strategy Fund (the “Fund”), you incur ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution fees, and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. Please note that the expenses shown in each table do not reflect expenses that apply to the subaccount or the insurance contract. If the expenses that apply to the subaccount of the insurance contract were included, your costs would have been higher.
 
The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the periods presented below.
 
Actual Example
 
The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information below, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

AZL Balanced Index Strategy Fund
  $ 1,000.00     $ 1,120.70     $ 0.48       0.09%  
 
* Expenses are equal to the average account value times the Fund’s annualized expense ratio multiplied by the number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year divided by the number of days in the fiscal year.
 
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
 
The table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.
 
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. Therefore, the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your cost would have been higher.

ALLIANZ VARIABLE INSURANCE PRODUCTS FUND OF FUNDS TRUST
AZL Balanced Index Strategy Fund
Notes to the Financial Statements
December 31, 2010
 
1. Organization
 
The Allianz Variable Insurance Products Fund of Funds Trust (the “Trust”) was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on June 16, 2004. The Trust is a diversified open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (the “1940 Act”). The Trust consists of seven separate investment portfolios, the AZL Balanced Index Strategy Fund, the AZL Fusion Balanced Fund, the AZL Fusion Conservative Fund, the AZL Fusion Edge Fund, the AZL Fusion Growth Fund, the AZL Fusion Moderate Fund, and the AZL Growth Index Strategy Fund (collectively, the “Funds”), each of which is a series of the Trust. These Notes to the Financial Statements are for the AZL Balanced Index Strategy Fund (the “Fund”).
 
The Fund is a “fund of funds,” which means that the Fund invests in other mutual funds. Underlying Funds invest in stock, bonds, and other securities and reflect varying amounts of potential investment risk and reward. Periodically, the Fund will adjust its asset allocation as it seeks to achieve its investment objective.
 
The Trust is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of the Fund without par value. Shares of the Fund are available through the variable annuity contracts offered through the separate accounts of participating insurance companies.
 
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Fund may enter into contracts with its vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund. However, based on experience, the Fund expects the risk of loss to be remote.
 
2. Significant Accounting Policies
 
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies conform with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Management has evaluated events and transactions subsequent to period end through the date the financial statements were available to be issued, for purposes of recognition or disclosure in these financial statements and there are no subsequent events to report.
 
Security Valuation
 
The Fund records its investments at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between willing market participants at the measurement date. The valuation techniques used to determine fair value are further described in Note 4 below.
 
Investment Transactions and Investment Income
 
Investment transactions are recorded no later than one business day following the trade date. For financial reporting purposes, securities transactions are recorded on trade date of the last business day of the reporting period. Net realized gains and losses on investments sold are recorded on the basis of identified cost of the security lot sold with the net sales proceeds. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis and includes, where applicable, the amortization of premiums or accretion of discounts. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.
 
Dividends to Shareholders
 
Dividends to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund distributes its dividends from net investment income and net realized capital gains, if any, on an annual basis. The amount of dividends from net investment income and from net realized gains are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are either temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature (e.g., return of capital, net operating loss, reclassification of certain market discounts, gain/loss, paydowns, and distributions), such amounts are reclassified within the composition of net assets based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences (e.g., wash sales and post October losses) do not require reclassification. Dividends to shareholders that exceed net investment income and net realized gains for tax purposes are reported as distributions of capital.

Expense Allocation
 
Expenses directly attributable to the Fund are charged directly to the Fund, while expenses attributable to more than one Fund are allocated among the respective Funds based upon relative net assets or some other reasonable method. Expenses which are attributable to more than one Trust are allocated across the Allianz Variable Insurance Products and Allianz Variable Insurance Products Fund of Funds Trusts based upon relative net assets or another reasonable basis. Allianz Investment Management LLC (the “Manager”), serves as the investment manager for the Trust and the Allianz Variable Insurance Products Trust.
 
3. Related Party Transactions
 
The Manager provides investment advisory and management services for the Fund. The Manager has contractually agreed to waive fees and reimburse the Fund to limit the annual expenses, excluding interest expense (e.g., cash overdraft fees), taxes, brokerage commissions, other expenditures that are capitalized in accordance with GAAP and other extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the Fund’s business and expenses paid indirectly, based on the daily net assets of the Fund, through April 30, 2012. Expenses incurred for investment advisory and management services are reflected on the Statement of Operations as “Manager fees.” The annual expense limit of the Fund is 0.20%.
 
For the year ended December 31, 2010, the annual rate due to the Manager and the annual expense limit were as follows:
 
                 
    Annual Rate   Expense Limit
AZL Balanced Index Strategy Fund
    0.05%       0.20%  
 
Any amounts contractually waived or reimbursed by the Manager in a particular fiscal year will be subject to repayment by the Fund to the Manager to the extent that from time to time through the next three fiscal years the repayment will not cause the Fund’s expenses to exceed the stated limit during the respective year. Any amounts recouped by the Manager during the period are reflected on the Statement of Operations as “Recoupment of prior expenses reimbursed by the Manager.” At December 31, 2010, there were no remaining contractual reimbursements that are subject to repayment by the Fund in subsequent years.
 
In addition, the Manager may voluntarily waive or reimburse additional fees in order to maintain more competitive expense ratios. Any voluntary waivers or reimbursements are not subject to repayment in subsequent years. Information on the total amount waived/reimbursed by the Manager or repaid to the Manager by the Fund during the period can be found on the Statement of Operations. During the year ended December 31, 2010, there were no voluntary waivers.
 
The Manager or an affiliate of the Manager serves as the investment adviser of certain underlying funds in which the Fund invests. At December 31, 2010 these underlying funds are noted as Affiliated Investment Companies in the Fund’s Schedule of Portfolio Investments. The Manager or an affiliate of the Manager is paid a separate fee from the underlying funds for such services.
 
Pursuant to separate agreements between the Funds and the Manager, the Manager provides a Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”) and certain compliance oversight and regulatory filing services to the Trust. Under these agreements the Manager is entitled to an amount equal to a portion of the compensation and certain other expenses related to the individuals performing the CCO and compliance oversight services, as well as $75 per hour for time incurred in connection with the preparation and filing of certain documents with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The fees are paid to the Manager on a quarterly basis. The total expenses incurred by the Fund for these services are reflected on the Statement of Operations as “Administrative and compliance services fees.”
 
Citi Fund Services Ohio, Inc. (“Citi” or the “Administrator”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Citigroup, Inc., with which an officer of the Trust is affiliated, serves as the Trust’s administrator, transfer agent, and fund accountant, and assists the Trust in all aspects of its administration and operation. The Administrator is entitled to a fee, accrued daily and paid monthly. In addition, the Administrator is entitled to annual account fees related to the transfer agency system, and a Trust-wide annual fee for providing infrastructure and support in implementing the written policies and procedures comprising the Fund’s compliance program. The Administrator is also reimbursed for certain expenses incurred. The total expenses incurred by the Fund for these services are reflected on the Statement of Operations as “Administration fees.”
 
Allianz Life Financial Services, LLC (“ALFS”), an affiliate of the Manager, serves as distributor of the Fund and receives a Trust-wide annual fee of $7,500, paid by the Manager from its profits and not by the Trust, for recordkeeping and reporting services.

In addition, certain legal fees and expenses are paid to a law firm, Dorsey & Whitney LLP, of which the Secretary of the Fund is a partner. During the year ended December 31, 2010, $5,548 was paid from the Fund relating to these fees and expenses.
 
Certain Officers and Trustees of the Trust are affiliated with the Manager or the Administrator. Such Officers (except for the Trust’s CCO as noted above) and Trustees receive no compensation from the Trust for serving in their respective roles. For their service to the Trust and to the Allianz Variable Insurance Products Trust, each non-interested Trustee receives a $33,000 annual Board retainer and a $7,500 meeting fee for each regular in-person Board meeting, a $3,000 meeting fee for each Committee meeting and a $3,000 meeting fee for each conference call. In addition, Trustees may receive compensation for special meetings and telephonic meetings. Also, the Trustees are reimbursed for certain expenses associated with attending Board meetings. Compensation to the Trustees is allocated between the Trust and the Allianz Variable Insurance Products Trust in proportion to the assets under management of each Trust. During the year ended December 31, 2010, actual Trustee compensation was $787,500 in total for both Trusts.
 
4. Investment Valuation Summary
 
The valuation techniques employed by the Fund, as described below, maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs in determining fair value. The inputs used for valuing the Fund’s investments are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
 
  •   Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical assets
  •   Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayments speeds, credit risk, etc.)
  •   Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
 
The inputs or methodology used for valuing investments is not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those investments.
 
Investments in other investment companies are valued at their published net asset value. Security prices are generally provided by an independent third party pricing service approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees (“Trustees”) as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) (generally 4:00 pm EST). Equity securities are valued at the last quoted sale price or, if there is no sale, the last quoted bid price is used for long securities and the last quoted ask price is used for securities sold short. Securities listed on NASDAQ Stock Market, Inc. (“NASDAQ”) are valued at the official closing price as reported by NASDAQ. In each of these situations, valuations are typically categorized as a Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their respective net asset value as reported by such companies and are typically categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.
 
For the year ended December 31, 2010, there were no Level 3 investments for which significant unobservable inputs were used to determine fair value.
 
The following is a summary of the valuation inputs used as of December 31, 2010 in valuing the Fund’s investments based upon the three levels defined above:
 
                                 
    Level 1   Level 2   Level 3   Total
Investment Securities:
                               
Affiliated Investment Companies
  $ 218,407,440     $ —     $ —     $ 218,407,440  
Investment Company
    542,975       —       —       542,975  
                                 
Total Investment Securities
  $ 218,950,415     $ —     $ —     $ 218,950,415

The Fund recognizes significant transfers between fair value hierarchy levels at the reporting period end. There were no significant transfers between Levels 1 and 2 as of December 31, 2010.
 
In January 2010, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-06 “Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements”. The portions of ASU No. 2010-06 which require reporting entities to prepare new disclosures surrounding amounts and reason for significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements as well as inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements that fall in either Level 2 or Level 3 have been adopted by the Fund.
 
The remaining portion of ASU No. 2010-06 requires reporting entities to make new disclosures about information on purchases, sales, issuances and settlements on a gross basis in the reconciliation of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. These new and revised disclosures are required to be implemented for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010. Management is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this remaining portion of ASU No. 2010-06 may have on the Fund’s financial statement disclosures.
 
5. Security Purchases and Sales
 
For the year ended December 31, 2010, cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of securities (excluding securities maturing less than one year from acquisition) were as follows:
 
                 
    Purchases   Sales
AZL Balanced Index Strategy Fund
  $ 58,666,325*     $ 6,028,257  
 
* Cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of portfolio securities incurred after the Fund merger are excluded from these amounts. The cost of purchases excluded are $12,949,507.
 
6. Federal Income Tax Information
 
It is the Fund’s policy to continue to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code under Subchapter M, applicable to regulated investment companies, and to distribute all of its taxable income, including any net realized gains on investments, to its shareholders. Therefore, no provision is made for federal income taxes.
 
Management of the Funds has reviewed tax positions taken in tax years that remain subject to examination by all major tax jurisdictions, including federal (i.e., the last four tax year ends and the interim tax period since then, as applicable). Management believes that there is no tax liability resulting from unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions taken.
 
Cost for federal income tax purposes at December 31, 2010, is $197,643,479. The gross unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) on a tax basis is as follows:
 
         
Unrealized appreciation
  $ 21,328,991  
Unrealized depreciation
    (22,055 )
         
Net unrealized appreciation
  $ 21,306,936  
         
 
At December 31, 2010 the Fund had net capital loss carryforwards, as summarized below, to offset future net capital gains, if any, to the extent provided by the Treasury regulations. To the extent that these carryforwards are used to offset future capital gains, it is probable that the gains that are offset will not be distributed to shareholders.
 
         
    Expires
    12/31/2017
 
AZL Balanced Index Strategy Fund
  $ 71,416  
 
During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Fund utilized $307,564 in capital loss carryforwards to offset capital gains.
 
The Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”) was enacted on December 22, 2010. The Act makes changes to several tax rules impacting the Funds. In general, the provisions of the Act will be effective for the Funds’ fiscal year ending December 31, 2011. Although the Act provides several benefits, including the unlimited carryover of future capital losses, there may be a greater likelihood that all or a portion of each fund’s pre-enactment capital loss carryovers, if any, may expire without being utilized due to the fact that post-enactment capital losses get utilized before pre-enactment capital loss carryovers.

Relevant information regarding the impact of the Act on the Fund, if any, will be contained within the “Federal Taxes” section of the financial statement notes for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2011.
 
As of December 31, 2010, the components of accumulated earnings on a tax basis were as follows:

(a) The differences between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation/depreciation is attributable primarily to tax deferral of losses on wash sales.
 
7. Acquisition of Funds
 
On October 15, 2010, the Fund acquired all of the net assets of the AZL Allianz Global Investors Select Fund, an open-end investment company, pursuant to a plan of reorganization approved by AZL Allianz Global Investors Select Fund shareholders on October 13, 2010. The purpose of the transaction was to combine two funds managed by the Manager with comparable investment objectives and strategies. The acquisition was accomplished by a tax-free exchange of 1,232,160 shares of the Fund, valued at $12,949,369, for 1,051,369 shares of the AZL Allianz Global Investors Select Fund outstanding on October 15, 2010.
 
The investment portfolio of the AZL Allianz Global Investors Select Fund, with a fair value of $12,964,413 and identified cost of $12,964,413 at October 15, 2010, was the principal asset acquired by the Fund. For financial reporting purposes, assets received and shares issued by the Fund were recorded at fair value; however, the cost basis of the investments received from the AZL Allianz Global Investors Select Fund was carried forward to align ongoing reporting of the Fund’s realized and unrealized gains and losses with amounts distributable to shareholders for tax purposes. Immediately prior to the merger, the net assets of the Fund were $185,915,657. All fees and expenses incurred by the AZL Allianz Global Investors Select Fund and the Fund directly in connection with the plan of reorganization were borne by the Manager.
 
Assuming the acquisition had been completed on January 1, 2010, the beginning of the annual reporting period of the Fund, the Fund’s pro forma results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2010, are as follows:
 
         
Net investment income/(loss)
  $ 1,103,660  
Net realized/unrealized gains/(losses)
  $ 16,943,062  
         
Change in net assets resulting from operations
  $ 18,046,722  
         
 
Because the combined investment portfolios have been managed as a single integrated portfolio since the acquisition was completed, it is not practicable to separate the amounts of revenue and earnings of the AZL Allianz Global Investors Select Fund that have been included in the Fund’s statement of operations since October 15, 2010.
 
On October 23, 2009, the Fund acquired all of the net assets of the AZL TargetPLUS Balanced Fund, an open-end investment company, pursuant to a plan of reorganization approved by AZL TargetPLUS Balanced Fund shareholder on October 21, 2009. The purpose of the transaction was to combine two funds managed by the Manager with comparable investment objectives and strategies. The acquisition was accomplished by a taxable exchange of 11,901,316 shares of the Fund, valued at $134,049,464, for 17,218,288 shares of the AZL TargetPLUS Balanced Fund outstanding on October 23, 2009.

Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement (Unaudited)
 
Subject to the general supervision of the Board of Trustees and in accordance with each Fund’s investment objectives and restrictions, investment advisory services are provided to the Funds by Allianz Investment Management LLC (the “Manager”). The Manager manages each Fund pursuant to an investment management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with the Trust in respect of each such Fund. The Management Agreement provides that the Manager, subject to the supervision and approval of the Board of Trustees, is responsible for the management of each Fund. This management includes making asset allocation decisions and investment decisions pursuant to which each Fund will invest in shares of Permitted Underlying Funds and in other Permitted Underlying Investments. For management services, each Fund pays the Manager an investment advisory fee based upon each Fund’s average daily net assets. The Manager has contractually agreed to limit the expenses of each Fund by reimbursing each Fund if and when total Fund operating expenses exceed certain amounts until at least May 1, 2012.
 
Wilshire Funds Management (“Wilshire”) serves as a consultant to the Manager in preparing statistical and other factual information for use in the creation and maintenance of the asset allocation models for the Fusion Funds (the AZL Fusion Conservative, Balanced, Moderate, Growth and Edge Funds) pursuant to an agreement between the Manager and Wilshire. Wilshire serves as a consultant to the Manager with respect to selecting the Fusion Permitted Underlying Investments and the Fund’s asset allocations among the Permitted Underlying Investments. The Manager, not any Fund, pays a consultant fee to Wilshire. Wilshire began serving in its capacity as a consultant beginning January 1, 2010.
 
In reviewing the services provided by the Manager and the terms of the Management Agreement, the Board receives and reviews information related to the Manager’s experience and expertise in the variable insurance marketplace. Currently, the Funds are offered only through variable annuities and variable life insurance policies, and not in the retail fund market. In addition, the Board receives information regarding the Manager’s expertise with regard to portfolio diversification and asset allocation requirements within variable insurance products issued by Allianz Life Insurance Company of North America and its subsidiary, Allianz Life Insurance Company of New York. Currently, the Funds are offered only through Allianz Life and Allianz of New York variable products.
 
As required by the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), the Trust’s Board has reviewed and approved the Management Agreement with the Manager. The Board’s decision to approve this contract reflects the exercise of its business judgment on whether to approve new arrangements and continue the existing arrangements. During its review of the contract, the Board considered many factors, among the most material of which are: the Funds’ investment objectives, the Manager’s management philosophy, personnel, processes and investment performance, including its compliance history and the adequacy of its compliance processes; the preferences and expectations of Fund shareholders (and underlying contract owners) and their relative sophistication; the continuing state of competition in the mutual fund industry; and comparable fees in the mutual fund industry.
 
The Board also considered the compensation and benefits received by the Manager. This includes fees received for services provided to a Fund by employees of the Manager or of affiliates of the Manager and research services received by the Manager from brokers that execute Fund trades, as well as advisory fees. The Board considered the fact that: (1) the Manager and the Trust are parties to an Administrative Service Agreement, Compliance Services Agreement and Chief Compliance Officer Agreement, under which the Manager is compensated by the Trust for performing certain administrative and compliance services including providing an employee of the Manager or one of its affiliates to act as the Trust’s Chief Compliance Officer; and (2) Allianz Life Financial Services LLC, an affiliated person of the Manager, is a registered securities broker-dealer and receives (along with its affiliated persons) payments made by the Underlying Funds pursuant to Rule 12b-1.
 
The Board is aware that various courts have interpreted provisions of the 1940 Act and have indicated in their decisions that the following factors may be relevant to the Manager’s compensation: the nature and quality of the services provided by the Manager, including the performance of the funds; the Manager’s cost of providing the services; the extent to which the Manager may realize “economies of scale” as the funds grow larger; any indirect benefits that may accrue to the Manager and its affiliates as a result of the Manager’s relationship with the funds; performance and expenses of comparable funds; the profitability to the Manager from acting as adviser to the funds; and the extent which the independent Board members are fully informed about all facts bearing on the Manager’s services and fees. The Trust’s Board is aware of these factors and took them into account in its review of the Management Agreement for the funds.
 
The Board considered and weighed these circumstances in light of its experience in governing the Trust, and is assisted in its deliberations by the advice of legal counsel to the Independent Trustees. In this regard, the Board requests and receives a significant amount of information about the Funds and the Manager. Some of this information is provided at each regular meeting of the Board; additional information is provided in connection with the particular meeting or meetings at which the Board’s formal review of an advisory contract occurs. In between regularly scheduled meetings, the Board may receive information on particular matters as the need arises. Thus, the Board’s evaluation of the Management Agreement is informed by reports covering

18


Table of Contents

such matters as: the Manager’s investment philosophy, personnel and processes, and the Fund’s investment performance (in absolute terms as well as in relationship to its benchmark). In connection with comparing the performance of each Fund versus its benchmark, the Board receives reports on the extent to which the Fund’s performance may be attributed to various factors, such as asset class allocation decisions, overlay or global tactical asset allocation strategies, the performance of the Underlying Funds, rebalancing decisions, and the impact of cash positions and Fund fees and expenses. The Board also receives reports on the Funds’ expenses (including the advisory fee itself and the overall expense structure of the Funds, both in absolute terms and relative to similar and/or competing funds, with due regard for contractual or voluntary expense limitations); the nature and extent of the advisory and other services provided to the Fund by the Manager and its affiliates; compliance and audit reports concerning the Funds and the companies that service them; and relevant developments in the mutual fund industry and how the Funds and/or the Manager are responding to them.
 
The Board also receives financial information about the Manager, including reports on the compensation and benefits the Manager derives from its relationships with the Funds. These reports cover not only the fees under the Management Agreement, but also fees, if any, received for providing other services to the Funds. The reports also discuss any indirect or “fall out” benefits the Manager or its affiliates may derive from its relationship with the Funds.
 
The Management Agreement was most recently considered at Board of Trustees meetings held in the fall of 2010. Information relevant to the approval of such Agreement was considered at a telephonic Board of Trustees meeting on October 20, 2010, and at an “in person” Board of Trustees meeting held November 3, 2010. The Agreement was approved at the Board meeting of November 3, 2010. At such meeting the Board also approved an Expense Limitation Agreement between the Manager and the Trust for the period ending April 30, 2012. In connection with such meetings, the Trustees requested and evaluated extensive materials from the Manager, including performance and expense information for other investment companies with similar investment objectives derived from data compiled by an independent third party provider and other sources believed to be reliable by the Manager. Prior to voting, the Trustees reviewed the proposed approval/continuance of the Agreement with management and with experienced counsel who are independent of the Manager and received a memorandum from such counsel discussing the legal standards for their consideration of the proposed approvals/continuances. The independent (“disinterested”) Trustees also discussed the proposed approvals/continuances in a private session with such counsel at which no representatives of the Manager were present. In reaching their determinations relating to the approval and/or continuance of the Agreement, in respect of each Fund, the Trustees considered all factors they believed relevant. The Board based its decision to approve the Agreement on the totality of the circumstances and relevant factors, and with a view to past and future long-term considerations. Not all of the factors and considerations discussed above and below are necessarily relevant to each Fund, and the Board did not assign relative weights to factors discussed herein or deem any one or group of them to be controlling in and of themselves.
 
An SEC rule requires that shareholder reports include a discussion of certain factors relating to the selection of the investment adviser and the approval of the advisory fee. The “factors” enumerated by the SEC are set forth below in italics, as well as the Board’s conclusions regarding such factors:
 
(1) The nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Manager. The Trustees noted that the Manager, subject to the control of the Board of Trustees, administers each Fund’s business and other affairs. The Trustees noted that the Manager also provides the Trust and each Fund with such administrative and other services (exclusive of, and in addition to, any such services provided by any others retained by the Trust on behalf of the Funds) and executive and other personnel as are necessary for the operation of the Trust and the Funds. Except for the Trust’s Chief Compliance Officer, the Manager pays all of the compensation of Trustees and officers of the Trust who are employees of the Manager or its affiliates.
 
The Trustees considered the scope and quality of services provided by the Manager and noted that the scope of such services provided had expanded as a result of recent regulatory and other developments. The Trustees noted that, for example, the Manager is responsible for maintaining and monitoring its own compliance program, and this compliance program has recently been refined and enhanced in light of new regulatory requirements. The Trustees considered the capabilities and resources which the Manager has dedicated to performing services on behalf of the Trust and its Funds. The quality of administrative and other services, including the Manager’s role in coordinating the activities of the Trust’s other service providers, also were considered. The Trustees concluded that, overall, they were satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services provided (and expected to be provided) to the Trust and to each of the Funds under the Management Agreement.
 
(2) The investment performance of the Fund and the Manager. In connection with the fall 2010 contract review process, Trustees received extensive information on the performance results of four of the Fusion Funds — the AZL Fusion Conservative, Balanced, Moderate and Growth Funds. (No performance information was available for the Fusion Edge Fund as it had no assets.) The Fusion Conservative Fund had an inception date of October 22, 2009, and the AZL Fusion Balanced, Moderate and Growth Funds had an inception date of May 1, 2005. Performance information includes information on absolute total return, performance versus the appropriate benchmark(s), the contribution to performance of the Manager’s asset class allocation decisions, overlay or global tactical asset allocation and volatility reduction strategies, the performance of the Underlying Funds, and the impact on performance of rebalancing decisions, cash and Fund fees. For example, in connection with the Board of

Trustees meeting held September 15, 2010, the Manager reported that for the three year period ended June 30, 2010, the AZL Fusion Balanced, Moderate and Growth Funds ranked in the 25th, 36th and 89th percentiles, respectively, of the Lipper Fund “balanced” peer group, and for the year ended June 30, 2010 the rankings were in the 23rd, 16th, and 14th percentiles, respectively. For the year to date through June 30, 2010, the AZL Fusion Conservative Fund ranked in the 40th percentile of the Lipper peer group. For the year to date through June 30, 2010, AZL Balanced Index Strategy and AZL Growth Index Strategy Funds (which had an inception date of July 9, 2009) ranked in the 21st and 47th percentiles of the Lipper peer group.
 
At the Board of Trustees meeting held November 3, 2010, the Trustees determined that the investment performance of all of the Funds was acceptable.
 
(3) The costs of services to be provided and profits to be realized by the Manager and its affiliates from the relationship with the Funds. The Board considered that the Manager receives an advisory fee from each of the Funds. The Manager reported that for the Fusion Funds the advisory fee paid put these Funds in the 58th percentile of the customized peer group. The Manager reported that for the Index Strategy Funds the advisory fee paid by these Funds put them in the 12th percentile of the customized peer group. Trustees were provided with information that the operating expenses for the Fusion Balanced, Moderate and Growth Funds put them at the 62nd percentile, the Conservative and Edge Funds at the 85th percentile (as such Funds were newly launched and were not at scale), and the Index Strategy Funds in the 37th to 45th percentiles of the customized peer group.
 
The Manager provided information concerning the profitability of the Manager’s investment advisory activities for the period from 2006 through June 30, 2010. The Trustees recognized that it is difficult to make comparisons of profitability from investment company advisory agreements because comparative information is not generally publicly available and is affected by numerous factors, including the structure of the particular adviser, the types of funds it manages, its business mix, numerous assumptions regarding allocation of expenses and the adviser’s capital structure and cost of capital. In considering profitability information, the Trustees considered the possible effect of certain fall-out benefits to the Manager and its affiliates. The Trustees focused on profitability of the Manager’s relationships with the Funds before taxes and distribution expenses. The Trustees recognized that the Manager should, in the abstract, be entitled to earn a reasonable level of profits for the services it provides to each Fund.
 
Based upon the information provided, the Board concluded that the Funds’ advisory fees and expense ratios are not unreasonable, and determined that there was no evidence that the Manager’s level of profitability from its relationship with the Funds was excessive.
 
(4) and (5) The extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Funds grow, and whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale. The Trustees noted that the advisory fee schedules for the Funds do not contain breakpoints that reduce the fee rate on assets above specified levels. The Trustees recognized that breakpoints may be an appropriate way for the Manager to share its economies of scale, if any, with Funds that have substantial assets. However, they also recognized that there may not be a direct relationship between any economies of scale realized by Funds and those realized by the Manager as assets increase. The Trustees do not believe there is a uniform methodology for establishing breakpoints that give effect to Fund-specific service provided by the Manager. The Trustees noted that in the fund industry as a whole, as well as among funds similar to the Funds, there is no uniformity or pattern in the fees and asset levels at which breakpoints (if any) apply. Depending on the age, size, and other characteristics of a particular fund and its manager’s cost structure, different conclusions can be drawn as to whether there are economies of scale to be realized at any particular level of assets, notwithstanding the intuitive conclusion that such economies exist, or will be realized at some level of total assets. Moreover, because different managers have different cost structures and service models, it is difficult to draw meaningful conclusions from the breakpoints that may have been adopted by other funds. The Trustees also noted that the advisory agreements for many funds do not have breakpoints at all, or if breakpoints exist, they may be at asset levels significantly greater than those of the individual Funds. The Trustees also noted that the total assets in all of the Funds as of June 30, 2010 were approximately $3.0 billion and that the largest Fund had assets of approximately $1.15 billion.
 
Having taken these factors into account, the Trustees concluded that the absence of breakpoints in the Funds’ advisory fee rate schedules was acceptable under each Fund’s circumstances.
 
The Trustees noted that the Manager has agreed to temporarily “cap” Fund expenses at certain levels, which has the effect of reducing expenses as would the implementation of advisory fee breakpoints. The Manager has committed to continue to consider the continuation of fee “caps” and/or advisory fee breakpoints as the Funds grow larger. The Board receives quarterly reports on the level of Fund assets. It expects to consider whether or not to approve the Management Agreement at a meeting to be held prior to December 31, 2011, and will at that time, or prior thereto, consider: (a) the extent to which economies of scale can be realized, and (b) whether the advisory fee should be modified to reflect such economies of scale, if any.

AZL FusionSM Balanced Fund
Allianz Investment Management LLC serves as the Manager for the AZL FusionSM Balanced Fund.
What factors affected the Fund’s performance during the 12-month period ended December 31, 2010?
For the 12-month period ended December 31, 2010, the AZL FusionSM Balanced Fund returned 11.07%. That compared to a 11.29% total return for its benchmark, a composite index comprised of equal weightings in the S&P 500 Index1 and the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index2.
The Fund is a fund of funds that generates broad diversification by investing in 24 underlying funds as of December 31, 2010. The Fund typically holds between 40% and 60% of its assets in equity funds and 40% to 60% of its assets in fixed income funds. The Fund also invests in non-traditional asset classes like commodities.
The Fund performed well on an absolute basis during the period, driven by gains in the equity and bond markets and by strong absolute returns from several of the underlying funds in the portfolio. Domestic stock prices rose, despite continued levels of elevated volatility, as the economy avoided both a “double-dip” recession and spillover effects of sovereign debt crises in Europe. The S&P 500 Index of large U.S. stocks gained 15.06% during the 12-month period. International equities also delivered positive returns: The MSCI Emerging Markets Index3 gained 19.20%, and the MSCI EAFE Index4 returned 8.21%.
Fixed-income markets also performed well on an absolute basis, with the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index posting a 6.54% return during the period. High-yield bonds gained 15.12% as measured by the Barclays Capital U.S. Corporate High-Yield Bond Index5, and Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS) gained 6.31% as measured by the Barclays Capital U.S. Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities Index6. Global bonds delivered a positive 5.54% return as measured by the Barclays Capital Global Aggregate Bond Index7.
The Fund’s return lagged that of its composite benchmark for the year ended December 31, 2010. The Fund’s underperformance relative to its benchmark was driven primarily by the performance of certain underlying funds that lagged their stated benchmarks.*
However, the Fund’s relative performance was shored up somewhat by its diverse asset allocation. The Fund’s exposure to asset classes that performed well relative to the S&P 500 Index—including mid-cap and small-cap equities as well as non-traditional asset classes such as emerging market equities, global real estate, high yield bonds and commodities—aided relative returns.*

1   The Standard & Poor’s 500 Index (“S&P 500 Index”) is representative of 500 selected common stocks, most of which are listed on the New York Stock Exchange, and is a measure of the U.S. Stock market as a whole.
 
2   The Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index is a market value-weighted performance benchmark for investment-grade fixed-rate debt issues, including government, corporate, asset-backed, and mortgage-backed securities, with maturities of at least one year.

4   The Morgan Stanley Capital International, Europe, Australasia and Far East (“MSCI EAFE”) Index is a free float-adjusted market capitalization-weighted index that is designed to measure the equity market performance of developed markets, excluding the U.S. & Canada.
 
5   The Barclays Capital U.S Corporate High-Yield Bond Index measures the market of USD-denominated, non-investment grade, fixed-rate, taxable corporate bonds. Securities are classified as high yield if the middle rating of Moody’s, Fitch, and S&P is Ba1/BB+/BB+ or below. The index excludes emerging market debt.
 
6   The Barclays Capital U.S. Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS) Index (Series-L) is a rules-based, market value-weighted index that tracks inflation-protected securities issued by the U.S. Treasury.
 
7   The Barclays Capital Global Aggregate Bond Index provides a broad-based measure of the global investment grade fixed-rate debt markets. It contains three major components: the U.S. Aggregate (USD 300mn), the Pan-European Aggregate (EUR 300mn), and the Asian-Pacific Aggregate Index (JPY 35bn). In addition to securities from these three benchmarks, the index includes Global Treasury, Eurodollar (USD 300mn), Euro-Yen (JPY 25bn), Canadian (USD 300mn equivalent), and Investment Grade 144A (USD 300mn) index-eligible securities not already in the three regional aggregate indices.

AZL FusionSM Balanced Fund Review
Fund Objective
The Fund’s investment objective is to seek long-term capital appreciation with preservation of capital as an important consideration. This objective may be changed by the Trustees of the Fund without shareholder approval. The Fund seeks to achieve its objective by investing in a combination of Permitted Underlying Funds that represent different classes in the Fund’s asset allocation.
Investment Concerns
The Fund invests in underlying funds, so its investment performance is directly related to the performance of those underlying funds. Before investing, investors should assess the risks associated with and types of investments made by each of the underlying funds in which the Fund invests.
Stocks are more volatile and carry more risk and return potential than other forms of investments.
Small- to mid-sized companies typically have a higher risk of failure and historically have experienced a greater degree of volatility.
International investing may involve risk of capital loss from unfavorable fluctuations in currency values, from differences in generally accepted accounting principles or from economic or political instability in other nations.
Bonds offer a relatively stable level of income, although bond prices will fluctuate, providing the potential for principal gain or loss.
Cash equivalents offer low risk and low return potential.

Expense Ratio3   Gross
 
AZL FusionSM Balanced Fund
    1.18 %
The above expense ratio is based on the current Fund prospectus dated April 30, 2010. The Manager has voluntarily reduced the management fee to 0.15%. The Manager and the Fund have entered into a written contract limiting operating expenses, excluding certain expenses (such as interest expense), to 0.30% through April 30, 2012. Additional information pertaining to the December 31, 2010 expense ratios can be found in the financial highlights.
 
1   The hypothetical $10,000 investment for the Balanced Composite Index, S&P 500 Index and the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index are calculated from 4/30/05.
 
2   The since inception performance data for the Balanced Composite Index is calculated from 4/30/05.
 
3   Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses are incurred indirectly by the Fund through the valuation of the Fund’s investments in the Permitted Underlying Funds. Accordingly, Acquired Fees and Expenses affect the Fund’s total returns. Because these fees and expenses are not included in the Fund’s financial highlights, the Fund’s total annual fund operating expenses do not correlate to the ratios of expenses to average net assets shown in the financial highlights table. Without Acquired Fund Fees and expenses the Fund’s gross ratio would be 0.25%.
The total return of the Fund does not reflect the effect of any insurance charges, the annual maintenance fee or the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Such charges, fees and tax payments would reduce the performance quoted.
The Fund’s performance is measured against a composite index (the “Balanced Composite Index”) which consists of 50% of the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index (“S&P 500 Index”) and 50% of the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. The S&P 500 Index is representative of 500 selected common stocks, most of which are listed on the New York Stock Exchange, and is a measure of the U.S. Stock market as a whole. The Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index is a market value-weighted performance benchmark for investment-grade fixed-rate debt issues, including government, corporate, asset-backed, and mortgage-backed securities, with maturities of at least one year. These indices are unmanaged and do not reflect the deduction of fees associated with a mutual fund, such as investment management and fund accounting fees. The Fund’s performance reflects the deduction of fees for services provided to the Fund. Investors cannot invest directly in an index.

Expense Examples and Portfolio Composition
(Unaudited)
 
As a shareholder of the AZL Fusion Balanced Fund (the “Fund”), you incur ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution fees, and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. Please note that the expenses shown in each table do not reflect expenses that apply to the subaccount or the insurance contract. If the expenses that apply to the subaccount of the insurance contract were included, your costs would have been higher.
 
The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the periods presented below.
 
Actual Example
 
The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information below, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

* Expenses are equal to the average account value times the Fund’s annualized expense ratio multiplied by the number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year divided by the number of days in the fiscal year.
 
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
 
The table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.
 
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. Therefore, the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your cost would have been higher.

ALLIANZ VARIABLE INSURANCE PRODUCTS FUND OF FUNDS TRUST
AZL Fusion Balanced Fund
Notes to the Financial Statements
December 31, 2010
 
1. Organization
 
The Allianz Variable Insurance Products Fund of Funds Trust (the “Trust”) was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on June 16, 2004. The Trust is a diversified open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (the “1940 Act”). The Trust consists of seven separate investment portfolios, the AZL Balanced Index Strategy Fund, the AZL Fusion Balanced Fund, the AZL Fusion Conservative Fund, the AZL Fusion Edge Fund, the AZL Fusion Growth Fund, the AZL Fusion Moderate Fund, and the AZL Growth Index Strategy Fund (collectively, the “Funds”), each of which is a series of the Trust. These Notes to the Financial Statements are for the AZL Fusion Balanced Fund (the “Fund”).
 
The Fund is a “fund of funds,” which means that the Fund invests in other mutual funds. Underlying Funds invest in stock, bonds, and other securities and reflect varying amounts of potential investment risk and reward. Periodically, the Fund will adjust its asset allocation as it seeks to achieve its investment objective.
 
The Trust is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of the Fund without par value. Shares of the Fund are available through the variable annuity contracts offered through the separate accounts of participating insurance companies.
 
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Fund may enter into contracts with its vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund. However, based on experience, the Fund expects the risk of loss to be remote.
 
2. Significant Accounting Policies
 
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies conform with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Management has evaluated events and transactions subsequent to period end through the date the financial statements were available to be issued, for purposes of recognition or disclosure in these financial statements and there are no subsequent events to report.
 
Security Valuation
 
The Fund records its investments at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between willing market participants at the measurement date. The valuation techniques used to determine fair value are further described in Note 4 below.
 
Investment Transactions and Investment Income
 
Investment transactions are recorded no later than one business day following the trade date. For financial reporting purposes, securities transactions are recorded on trade date of the last business day of the reporting period. Net realized gains and losses on investments sold are recorded on the basis of identified cost of the security lot sold with the net sales proceeds. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis and includes, where applicable, the amortization of premiums or accretion of discounts. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.
 
Dividends to Shareholders
 
Dividends to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund distributes its dividends from net investment income and net realized capital gains, if any, on an annual basis. The amount of dividends from net investment income and from net realized gains are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are either temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature (e.g., return of capital, net operating loss, reclassification of certain market discounts, gain/loss, paydowns, and distributions), such amounts are reclassified within the composition of net assets based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences (e.g., wash sales and post October losses) do not require reclassification. Dividends to shareholders that exceed net investment income and net realized gains for tax purposes are reported as distributions of capital.

Expense Allocation
 
Expenses directly attributable to the Fund are charged directly to the Fund, while expenses attributable to more than one Fund are allocated among the respective Funds based upon relative net assets or some other reasonable method. Expenses which are attributable to more than one Trust are allocated across the Allianz Variable Insurance Products and Allianz Variable Insurance Products Fund of Funds Trusts based upon relative net assets or another reasonable basis. Allianz Investment Management LLC (the “Manager”), serves as the investment manager for the Trust and the Allianz Variable Insurance Products Trust.
 
3. Related Party Transactions
 
The Manager provides investment advisory and management services for the Fund. The Manager has contractually agreed to waive fees and reimburse the Fund to limit the annual expenses, excluding interest expense (e.g., cash overdraft fees), taxes, brokerage commissions, other expenditures that are capitalized in accordance with GAAP and other extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the Fund’s business and expenses paid indirectly, based on the daily net assets of the Fund, through April 30, 2012. Expenses incurred for investment advisory and management services are reflected on the Statement of Operations as “Manager fees.” The annual expense limit of the Fund is 0.30%.
 
For the year ended December 31, 2010, the annual rate due to the Manager and the annual expense limit were as follows:
 
                 
    Annual Rate*   Expense Limit
AZL Fusion Balanced Fund
    0.20 %     0.30 %
 
* The Manager voluntarily reduced the management fee to 0.15%. The Manager reserves the right to increase the management fee to the amount shown in the table above at any time.
 
Any amounts contractually waived or reimbursed by the Manager in a particular fiscal year will be subject to repayment by the Fund to the Manager to the extent that from time to time through the next three fiscal years the repayment will not cause the Fund’s expenses to exceed the stated limit during the respective year. Any amounts recouped by the Manager during the period are reflected on the Statement of Operations as “Recoupment of prior expenses reimbursed by the Manager.” At December 31, 2010, there were no remaining contractual reimbursements that are subject to repayment by the Fund in subsequent years.
 
In addition, the Manager may voluntarily waive or reimburse additional fees in order to maintain more competitive expense ratios. Any voluntary waivers or reimbursements are not subject to repayment in subsequent years. Information on the total amount waived/reimbursed by the Manager or repaid to the Manager by the Fund during the period can be found on the Statement of Operations.
 
The Manager or an affiliate of the Manager serves as the investment adviser of certain underlying funds in which the Fund invests. At December 31, 2010 these underlying funds are noted as Affiliated Investment Companies in the Fund’s Schedule of Portfolio Investments. The Manager or an affiliate of the Manager is paid a separate fee from the underlying funds for such services.
 
Pursuant to separate agreements between the Funds and the Manager, the Manager provides a Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”) and certain compliance oversight and regulatory filing services to the Trust. Under these agreements the Manager is entitled to an amount equal to a portion of the compensation and certain other expenses related to the individuals performing the CCO and compliance oversight services, as well as $75 per hour for time incurred in connection with the preparation and filing of certain documents with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The fees are paid to the Manager on a quarterly basis. The total expenses incurred by the Fund for these services are reflected on the Statement of Operations as “Administrative and compliance services fees.”
 
Citi Fund Services Ohio, Inc. (“Citi” or the “Administrator”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Citigroup, Inc., with which an officer of the Trust is affiliated, serves as the Trust’s administrator, transfer agent, and fund accountant, and assists the Trust in all aspects of its administration and operation. The Administrator is entitled to a fee, accrued daily and paid monthly. In addition, the Administrator is entitled to annual account fees related to the transfer agency system, and a Trust-wide annual fee for providing infrastructure and support in implementing the written policies and procedures comprising the Fund’s compliance program. The Administrator is also reimbursed for certain expenses incurred. The total expenses incurred by the Fund for these services are reflected on the Statement of Operations as “Administration fees.”

December 31, 2010
 
Allianz Life Financial Services, LLC (“ALFS”), an affiliate of the Manager, serves as distributor of the Fund and receives a Trust-wide annual fee of $7,500, paid by the Manager from its profits and not by the Trust, for recordkeeping and reporting services.
 
In addition, certain legal fees and expenses are paid to a law firm, Dorsey & Whitney LLP, of which the Secretary of the Fund is a partner. During the year ended December 31, 2010, $15,278 was paid from the Fund relating to these fees and expenses.
 
Certain Officers and Trustees of the Trust are affiliated with the Manager or the Administrator. Such Officers (except for the Trust’s CCO as noted above) and Trustees receive no compensation from the Trust for serving in their respective roles. For their service to the Trust and to the Allianz Variable Insurance Products Trust, each non-interested Trustee receives a $33,000 annual Board retainer and a $7,500 meeting fee for each regular in-person Board meeting, a $3,000 meeting fee for each Committee meeting and a $3,000 meeting fee for each conference call. In addition, Trustees may receive compensation for special meetings and telephonic meetings. Also, the Trustees are reimbursed for certain expenses associated with attending Board meetings. Compensation to the Trustees is allocated between the Trust and the Allianz Variable Insurance Products Trust in proportion to the assets under management of each Trust. During the year ended December 31, 2010, actual Trustee compensation was $787,500 in total for both Trusts.
 
4. Investment Valuation Summary
 
The valuation techniques employed by the Fund, as described below, maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs in determining fair value. The inputs used for valuing the Fund’s investments are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
 
  •   Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical assets
  •   Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayments speeds, credit risk, etc.)
  •   Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
 
The inputs or methodology used for valuing investments is not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those investments.
 
Investments in other investment companies are valued at their published net asset value. Security prices are generally provided by an independent third party pricing service approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees (“Trustees”) as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) (generally 4:00 pm EST). Equity securities are valued at the last quoted sale price or, if there is no sale, the last quoted bid price is used for long securities and the last quoted ask price is used for securities sold short. Securities listed on NASDAQ Stock Market, Inc. (“NASDAQ”) are valued at the official closing price as reported by NASDAQ. In each of these situations, valuations are typically categorized as a Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their respective net asset value as reported by such companies and are typically categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.

(1) Consists of the holding, AZL Strategic Investments Trust, listed under Affiliated Investment Companies on the Fund’s Schedule of Portfolio Investments.
 
The Fund recognizes significant transfers between fair value hierarchy levels at the reporting period end. There were no significant transfers between Levels 1 and 2 as of December 31, 2010.
 
In January 2010, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-06 “Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements”. The portions of ASU No. 2010-06 which require reporting entities to prepare new disclosures surrounding amounts and reason for significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements as well as inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements that fall in either Level 2 or Level 3 have been adopted by the Fund.
 
The remaining portion of ASU No. 2010-06 requires reporting entities to make new disclosures about information on purchases, sales, issuances and settlements on a gross basis in the reconciliation of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. These new and revised disclosures are required to be implemented for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010. Management is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this remaining portion of ASU No. 2010-06 may have on the Fund’s financial statement disclosures.
 
5. Security Purchases and Sales
 
For the year ended December 31, 2010, cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of securities (excluding securities maturing less than one year from acquisition) were as follows:
 
                 
    Purchases   Sales
AZL Fusion Balanced Fund
  $ 414,707,593     $ 231,645,514  
 
6. Federal Income Tax Information
 
It is the Fund’s policy to continue to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code under Subchapter M, applicable to regulated investment companies, and to distribute all of its taxable income, including any net realized gains on investments, to its shareholders. Therefore, no provision is made for federal income taxes.
 
Management of the Funds has reviewed tax positions taken in tax years that remain subject to examination by all major tax jurisdictions, including federal (i.e., the last four tax year ends and the interim tax period since then, as applicable). Management believes that there is no tax liability resulting from unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions taken.
 
Cost for federal income tax purposes at December 31, 2010, is $741,899,350. The gross unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) on a tax basis is as follows:
 
         
Unrealized appreciation
  $ 96,117,008  
Unrealized depreciation
    (20,019,667 )
         
Net unrealized appreciation
  $ 76,097,341

Notes to the Financial Statements, continued

December 31, 2010
 
At December 31, 2010 the Fund had net capital loss carryforwards, as summarized below, to offset future net capital gains, if any, to the extent provided by the Treasury regulations. To the extent that these carryforwards are used to offset future capital gains, it is probable that the gains that are offset will not be distributed to shareholders.

AZL Fusion Balanced Fund
  $ 45,349,026  
 
During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Fund utilized $24,323,671 in capital loss carryforwards to offset capital gains.
 
Under current tax law, capital losses realized after October 31 of a Fund’s fiscal year may be deferred and treated as occurring on the first business day of the following fiscal year for tax purposes. The Fund had $3,876,169 of deferred post October capital and currency losses, which will be treated as arising on the first business day of the fiscal year ending December 31, 2011.
 
The Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”) was enacted on December 22, 2010. The Act makes changes to several tax rules impacting the Funds. In general, the provisions of the Act will be effective for the Funds’ fiscal year ending December 31, 2011. Although the Act provides several benefits, including the unlimited carryover of future capital losses, there may be a greater likelihood that all or a portion of each fund’s pre-enactment capital loss carryovers, if any, may expire without being utilized due to the fact that post-enactment capital losses get utilized before pre-enactment capital loss carryovers. Relevant information regarding the impact of the Act on the Fund, if any, will be contained within the “Federal Taxes” section of the financial statement notes for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2011.
 
The tax character of dividends paid to shareholders during the year ended December 31, 2010 were as follows:
 
                         
        Net
   
    Ordinary
  Long-Term
  Total
    Income   Capital Gains   Distributions(a)
AZL Fusion Balanced Fund
  $ 19,098,572     $ —     $ 19,098,572  
 
(a) Total distributions paid may differ from the Statements of Changes in Net Assets because dividends are recognized when actually paid for tax purposes.
 
The tax character of dividends paid to shareholders during the year ended December 31, 2009 were as follows:

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 
The Board of Trustees and Shareholders
Allianz Variable Insurance Products Fund of Funds Trust:
 
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of AZL Fusion Balanced Fund (the “Fund”) of the Allianz Variable Insurance Products Fund of Funds Trust, including the schedule of portfolio investments, as of December 31, 2010, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years in the five-year period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2010, by correspondence with the custodian and transfer agents. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of December 31, 2010, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years in the five-year period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement (Unaudited)
 
Subject to the general supervision of the Board of Trustees and in accordance with each Fund’s investment objectives and restrictions, investment advisory services are provided to the Funds by Allianz Investment Management LLC (the “Manager”). The Manager manages each Fund pursuant to an investment management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with the Trust in respect of each such Fund. The Management Agreement provides that the Manager, subject to the supervision and approval of the Board of Trustees, is responsible for the management of each Fund. This management includes making asset allocation decisions and investment decisions pursuant to which each Fund will invest in shares of Permitted Underlying Funds and in other Permitted Underlying Investments. For management services, each Fund pays the Manager an investment advisory fee based upon each Fund’s average daily net assets. The Manager has contractually agreed to limit the expenses of each Fund by reimbursing each Fund if and when total Fund operating expenses exceed certain amounts until at least May 1, 2012.
 
Wilshire Funds Management (“Wilshire”) serves as a consultant to the Manager in preparing statistical and other factual information for use in the creation and maintenance of the asset allocation models for the Fusion Funds (the AZL Fusion Conservative, Balanced, Moderate, Growth and Edge Funds) pursuant to an agreement between the Manager and Wilshire. Wilshire serves as a consultant to the Manager with respect to selecting the Fusion Permitted Underlying Investments and the Fund’s asset allocations among the Permitted Underlying Investments. The Manager, not any Fund, pays a consultant fee to Wilshire. Wilshire began serving in its capacity as a consultant beginning January 1, 2010.
 
In reviewing the services provided by the Manager and the terms of the Management Agreement, the Board receives and reviews information related to the Manager’s experience and expertise in the variable insurance marketplace. Currently, the Funds are offered only through variable annuities and variable life insurance policies, and not in the retail fund market. In addition, the Board receives information regarding the Manager’s expertise with regard to portfolio diversification and asset allocation requirements within variable insurance products issued by Allianz Life Insurance Company of North America and its subsidiary, Allianz Life Insurance Company of New York. Currently, the Funds are offered only through Allianz Life and Allianz of New York variable products.
 
As required by the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), the Trust’s Board has reviewed and approved the Management Agreement with the Manager. The Board’s decision to approve this contract reflects the exercise of its business judgment on whether to approve new arrangements and continue the existing arrangements. During its review of the contract, the Board considered many factors, among the most material of which are: the Funds’ investment objectives, the Manager’s management philosophy, personnel, processes and investment performance, including its compliance history and the adequacy of its compliance processes; the preferences and expectations of Fund shareholders (and underlying contract owners) and their relative sophistication; the continuing state of competition in the mutual fund industry; and comparable fees in the mutual fund industry.
 
The Board also considered the compensation and benefits received by the Manager. This includes fees received for services provided to a Fund by employees of the Manager or of affiliates of the Manager and research services received by the Manager from brokers that execute Fund trades, as well as advisory fees. The Board considered the fact that: (1) the Manager and the Trust are parties to an Administrative Service Agreement, Compliance Services Agreement and Chief Compliance Officer Agreement, under which the Manager is compensated by the Trust for performing certain administrative and compliance services including providing an employee of the Manager or one of its affiliates to act as the Trust’s Chief Compliance Officer; and (2) Allianz Life Financial Services LLC, an affiliated person of the Manager, is a registered securities broker-dealer and receives (along with its affiliated persons) payments made by the Underlying Funds pursuant to Rule 12b-1.
 
The Board is aware that various courts have interpreted provisions of the 1940 Act and have indicated in their decisions that the following factors may be relevant to the Manager’s compensation: the nature and quality of the services provided by the Manager, including the performance of the funds; the Manager’s cost of providing the services; the extent to which the Manager may realize “economies of scale” as the funds grow larger; any indirect benefits that may accrue to the Manager and its affiliates as a result of the Manager’s relationship with the funds; performance and expenses of comparable funds; the profitability to the Manager from acting as adviser to the funds; and the extent which the independent Board members are fully informed about all facts bearing on the Manager’s services and fees. The Trust’s Board is aware of these factors and took them into account in its review of the Management Agreement for the funds.
 
The Board considered and weighed these circumstances in light of its experience in governing the Trust, and is assisted in its deliberations by the advice of legal counsel to the Independent Trustees. In this regard, the Board requests and receives a significant amount of information about the Funds and the Manager. Some of this information is provided at each regular meeting of the Board; additional information is provided in connection with the particular meeting or meetings at which the Board’s formal review of an advisory contract occurs. In between regularly scheduled meetings, the Board may receive information on particular matters as the need arises. Thus, the Board’s evaluation of the Management Agreement is informed by reports covering

18


Table of Contents

such matters as: the Manager’s investment philosophy, personnel and processes, and the Fund’s investment performance (in absolute terms as well as in relationship to its benchmark). In connection with comparing the performance of each Fund versus its benchmark, the Board receives reports on the extent to which the Fund’s performance may be attributed to various factors, such as asset class allocation decisions, overlay or global tactical asset allocation strategies, the performance of the Underlying Funds, rebalancing decisions, and the impact of cash positions and Fund fees and expenses. The Board also receives reports on the Funds’ expenses (including the advisory fee itself and the overall expense structure of the Funds, both in absolute terms and relative to similar and/or competing funds, with due regard for contractual or voluntary expense limitations); the nature and extent of the advisory and other services provided to the Fund by the Manager and its affiliates; compliance and audit reports concerning the Funds and the companies that service them; and relevant developments in the mutual fund industry and how the Funds and/or the Manager are responding to them.
 
The Board also receives financial information about the Manager, including reports on the compensation and benefits the Manager derives from its relationships with the Funds. These reports cover not only the fees under the Management Agreement, but also fees, if any, received for providing other services to the Funds. The reports also discuss any indirect or “fall out” benefits the Manager or its affiliates may derive from its relationship with the Funds.
 
The Management Agreement was most recently considered at Board of Trustees meetings held in the fall of 2010. Information relevant to the approval of such Agreement was considered at a telephonic Board of Trustees meeting on October 20, 2010, and at an “in person” Board of Trustees meeting held November 3, 2010. The Agreement was approved at the Board meeting of November 3, 2010. At such meeting the Board also approved an Expense Limitation Agreement between the Manager and the Trust for the period ending April 30, 2012. In connection with such meetings, the Trustees requested and evaluated extensive materials from the Manager, including performance and expense information for other investment companies with similar investment objectives derived from data compiled by an independent third party provider and other sources believed to be reliable by the Manager. Prior to voting, the Trustees reviewed the proposed approval/continuance of the Agreement with management and with experienced counsel who are independent of the Manager and received a memorandum from such counsel discussing the legal standards for their consideration of the proposed approvals/continuances. The independent (“disinterested”) Trustees also discussed the proposed approvals/continuances in a private session with such counsel at which no representatives of the Manager were present. In reaching their determinations relating to the approval and/or continuance of the Agreement, in respect of each Fund, the Trustees considered all factors they believed relevant. The Board based its decision to approve the Agreement on the totality of the circumstances and relevant factors, and with a view to past and future long-term considerations. Not all of the factors and considerations discussed above and below are necessarily relevant to each Fund, and the Board did not assign relative weights to factors discussed herein or deem any one or group of them to be controlling in and of themselves.
 
An SEC rule requires that shareholder reports include a discussion of certain factors relating to the selection of the investment adviser and the approval of the advisory fee. The “factors” enumerated by the SEC are set forth below in italics, as well as the Board’s conclusions regarding such factors:
 
(1) The nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Manager. The Trustees noted that the Manager, subject to the control of the Board of Trustees, administers each Fund’s business and other affairs. The Trustees noted that the Manager also provides the Trust and each Fund with such administrative and other services (exclusive of, and in addition to, any such services provided by any others retained by the Trust on behalf of the Funds) and executive and other personnel as are necessary for the operation of the Trust and the Funds. Except for the Trust’s Chief Compliance Officer, the Manager pays all of the compensation of Trustees and officers of the Trust who are employees of the Manager or its affiliates.
 
The Trustees considered the scope and quality of services provided by the Manager and noted that the scope of such services provided had expanded as a result of recent regulatory and other developments. The Trustees noted that, for example, the Manager is responsible for maintaining and monitoring its own compliance program, and this compliance program has recently been refined and enhanced in light of new regulatory requirements. The Trustees considered the capabilities and resources which the Manager has dedicated to performing services on behalf of the Trust and its Funds. The quality of administrative and other services, including the Manager’s role in coordinating the activities of the Trust’s other service providers, also were considered. The Trustees concluded that, overall, they were satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services provided (and expected to be provided) to the Trust and to each of the Funds under the Management Agreement.
 
(2) The investment performance of the Fund and the Manager. In connection with the fall 2010 contract review process, Trustees received extensive information on the performance results of four of the Fusion Funds — the AZL Fusion Conservative, Balanced, Moderate and Growth Funds. (No performance information was available for the Fusion Edge Fund as it had no assets.) The Fusion Conservative Fund had an inception date of October 22, 2009, and the AZL Fusion Balanced, Moderate and Growth Funds had an inception date of May 1, 2005. Performance information includes information on absolute total return, performance versus the appropriate benchmark(s), the contribution to performance of the Manager’s asset class allocation decisions, overlay or global tactical asset allocation and volatility reduction strategies, the performance of the Underlying Funds, and the impact on performance of rebalancing decisions, cash and Fund fees. For example, in connection with the Board of

19


Table of Contents

Trustees meeting held September 15, 2010, the Manager reported that for the three year period ended June 30, 2010, the AZL Fusion Balanced, Moderate and Growth Funds ranked in the 25th, 36th and 89th percentiles, respectively, of the Lipper Fund “balanced” peer group, and for the year ended June 30, 2010 the rankings were in the 23rd, 16th, and 14th percentiles, respectively. For the year to date through June 30, 2010, the AZL Fusion Conservative Fund ranked in the 40th percentile of the Lipper peer group. For the year to date through June 30, 2010, AZL Balanced Index Strategy and AZL Growth Index Strategy Funds (which had an inception date of July 9, 2009) ranked in the 21st and 47th percentiles of the Lipper peer group.
 
At the Board of Trustees meeting held November 3, 2010, the Trustees determined that the investment performance of all of the Funds was acceptable.
 
(3) The costs of services to be provided and profits to be realized by the Manager and its affiliates from the relationship with the Funds. The Board considered that the Manager receives an advisory fee from each of the Funds. The Manager reported that for the Fusion Funds the advisory fee paid put these Funds in the 58th percentile of the customized peer group. The Manager reported that for the Index Strategy Funds the advisory fee paid by these Funds put them in the 12th percentile of the customized peer group. Trustees were provided with information that the operating expenses for the Fusion Balanced, Moderate and Growth Funds put them at the 62nd percentile, the Conservative and Edge Funds at the 85th percentile (as such Funds were newly launched and were not at scale), and the Index Strategy Funds in the 37th to 45th percentiles of the customized peer group.
 
The Manager provided information concerning the profitability of the Manager’s investment advisory activities for the period from 2006 through June 30, 2010. The Trustees recognized that it is difficult to make comparisons of profitability from investment company advisory agreements because comparative information is not generally publicly available and is affected by numerous factors, including the structure of the particular adviser, the types of funds it manages, its business mix, numerous assumptions regarding allocation of expenses and the adviser’s capital structure and cost of capital. In considering profitability information, the Trustees considered the possible effect of certain fall-out benefits to the Manager and its affiliates. The Trustees focused on profitability of the Manager’s relationships with the Funds before taxes and distribution expenses. The Trustees recognized that the Manager should, in the abstract, be entitled to earn a reasonable level of profits for the services it provides to each Fund.
 
Based upon the information provided, the Board concluded that the Funds’ advisory fees and expense ratios are not unreasonable, and determined that there was no evidence that the Manager’s level of profitability from its relationship with the Funds was excessive.
 
(4) and (5) The extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Funds grow, and whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale. The Trustees noted that the advisory fee schedules for the Funds do not contain breakpoints that reduce the fee rate on assets above specified levels. The Trustees recognized that breakpoints may be an appropriate way for the Manager to share its economies of scale, if any, with Funds that have substantial assets. However, they also recognized that there may not be a direct relationship between any economies of scale realized by Funds and those realized by the Manager as assets increase. The Trustees do not believe there is a uniform methodology for establishing breakpoints that give effect to Fund-specific service provided by the Manager. The Trustees noted that in the fund industry as a whole, as well as among funds similar to the Funds, there is no uniformity or pattern in the fees and asset levels at which breakpoints (if any) apply. Depending on the age, size, and other characteristics of a particular fund and its manager’s cost structure, different conclusions can be drawn as to whether there are economies of scale to be realized at any particular level of assets, notwithstanding the intuitive conclusion that such economies exist, or will be realized at some level of total assets. Moreover, because different managers have different cost structures and service models, it is difficult to draw meaningful conclusions from the breakpoints that may have been adopted by other funds. The Trustees also noted that the advisory agreements for many funds do not have breakpoints at all, or if breakpoints exist, they may be at asset levels significantly greater than those of the individual Funds. The Trustees also noted that the total assets in all of the Funds as of June 30, 2010 were approximately $3.0 billion and that the largest Fund had assets of approximately $1.15 billion.
 
Having taken these factors into account, the Trustees concluded that the absence of breakpoints in the Funds’ advisory fee rate schedules was acceptable under each Fund’s circumstances.
 
The Trustees noted that the Manager has agreed to temporarily “cap” Fund expenses at certain levels, which has the effect of reducing expenses as would the implementation of advisory fee breakpoints. The Manager has committed to continue to consider the continuation of fee “caps” and/or advisory fee breakpoints as the Funds grow larger. The Board receives quarterly reports on the level of Fund assets. It expects to consider whether or not to approve the Management Agreement at a meeting to be held prior to December 31, 2011, and will at that time, or prior thereto, consider: (a) the extent to which economies of scale can be realized, and (b) whether the advisory fee should be modified to reflect such economies of scale, if any.

AZL FusionSM Conservative Fund
Allianz Investment Management LLC serves as Manager for the AZL FusionSM Conservative Fund.
What factors affected the Fund’s performance during the 12-month period ended December 31, 2010?
For the 12-month period ended December 31, 2010, the AZL FusionSM Conservative Fund returned 10.96%. That compared to a 9.97% total return for its benchmark, a composite index comprised of a 35% weighting in the S&P 500 Index1 and a 65% weighting in the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index2.
The Fund is a fund of funds that generates broad diversification by investing in 23 underlying funds as of December 31, 2010. The Fund typically holds between 25% and 45% of its assets in equity funds and 55% to 75% of its asset in fixed income funds. The Fund also invests in non-traditional asset classes such as commodities.
The Fund’s positive absolute return was driven by the strong performance of both the stock and bond markets during the period. Stock prices rose, despite elevated volatility, as the U.S. economy avoided a “double dip” recession and major spillover effects of sovereign debt crises in Europe. During the 12-month period, U.S. equities, as measured by the S&P 500 Index, returned 15.06%, while international equity markets returned 8.21%, as measured by the MSCI EAFE Index. Emerging markets equities bested both with an 19.20% gain over the past 12 months, as measured by the MSCI Emerging Markets Index4.
Bond yields fell during the period, pushing bond prices higher. The Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index gained 6.54% during the period. High-yield bonds returned 15.12%, as measured by the Barclays Capital U.S. Corporate High-Yield Bond Index5, and Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS) gained 6.31% as measured by the Barclays Capital U.S. Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities Index6. Global bonds lagged U.S. bonds with a 5.54% return, as measured by the Barclays Capital Global Aggregate Bond Index7.
In terms of relative performance, the Fund out returned its composite benchmark for the year. The Fund benefited from its allocation to asset classes that performed well, including high-yield bonds, mid-cap stocks and small-cap equities. The Fund’s holdings in non-traditional asset classes such as emerging market bonds, global real estate and commodities also benefited performance. In addition, multiple underlying funds in the Fund generated excess return over the individual managers’ stated benchmarks, which enhanced performance. That said, relative performance was dampened somewhat by certain underlying funds that underperformed their stated benchmarks.*

1   The Standard & Poor’s 500 Index (“S&P 500 Index”) is representative of 500 selected common stocks, most of which are listed on the New York Stock Exchange, and is a measure of the U.S. Stock market as a whole.
 
2   The Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index is a market value-weighted performance benchmark for investment-grade fixed-rate debt issues, including government, corporate, asset-backed, and mortgage-backed securities, with maturities of at least one year.
 
3   The Morgan Stanley Capital International (“MSCI”) Emerging Markets Index is a free float-adjusted market capitalization index that is designed to measure equity performance of emerging markets.
 
4   The Morgan Stanley Capital International, Europe, Australasia and Far East (“MSCI EAFE”) Index is a free float-adjusted market capitalization-weighted index that is designed to measure the equity market performance of developed markets, excluding the U.S. & Canada.
 
5   The Barclays Capital U.S Corporate High-Yield Bond Index measures the market of USD-denominated, non-investment grade, fixed-rate, taxable corporate bonds. Securities are classified as high yield if the middle rating of Moody’s, Fitch, and S&P is Ba1/BB+/BB+ or below. The index excludes emerging market debt.
 
6   The Barclays Capital U.S. Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS) Index (Series-L) is a rules-based, market value-weighted index that tracks inflation-protected securities issued by the U.S. Treasury.
 
7   The Barclays Capital Global Aggregate Bond Index provides a broad-based measure of the global investment grade fixed-rate debt markets. It contains three major components: the U.S. Aggregate (USD 300mn), the Pan-European Aggregate (EUR 300mn), and the Asian-Pacific Aggregate Index (JPY 35bn). In addition to securities from these three benchmarks, the index includes Global Treasury, Eurodollar (USD 300mn), Euro-Yen (JPY 25bn), Canadian (USD 300mn equivalent), and Investment Grade 144A (USD 300mn) index-eligible securities not already in the three regional aggregate indices.

AZL FusionSM Conservative Fund Review
Fund Objective
The Fund’s investment objective is to seek long-term capital appreciation with preservation of capital as an important consideration. This objective may be changed by the Trustees of the Fund without shareholder approval. The Fund seeks to achieve its objective by investing in a combination of Permitted Underlying Funds that represent different classes in the Fund’s asset allocation.
Investment Concerns
The Fund invests in underlying funds, so its investment performance is directly related to the performance of those underlying funds. Before investing, investors should assess the risks associated with and types of investments made by each of the underlying funds in which the Fund invests.
Stocks are more volatile and carry more risk and return potential than other forms of investments.
Small- to mid-sized companies typically have a higher risk of failure and historically have experienced a greater degree of volatility.
International investing may involve risk of capital loss from unfavorable fluctuations in currency values, from differences in generally accepted accounting principles or from economic or political instability in other nations.
Bonds offer a relatively stable level of income, although bond prices will fluctuate, providing the potential for principal gain or loss.
Cash equivalents offer low risk and low return potential.

The investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed may be worth more or less than the original cost.

Expense Ratio1   Gross
 
AZL FusionSM Conservative Fund
    1.23 %
The above expense ratio is based on the current Fund prospectus dated April 30, 2010. The Manager has voluntarily reduced the management fee to 0.15%. The Manager and the Fund have entered into a written contract limiting operating expenses, excluding certain expenses (such as interest expense), to 0.35% through April 30, 2012. Additional information pertaining to the December 31, 2010 expense ratios can be found in the financial highlights.
 
1   Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses are incurred indirectly by the Fund through the valuation of the Fund’s investments in the Permitted Underlying Funds. Accordingly, Acquired Fees and Expenses affect the Fund’s total returns. Because these fees and expenses are not included in the Fund’s financial highlights, the Fund’s total annual fund operating expenses do not correlate to the ratios of expenses to average net assets shown in the financial highlights table. Without Acquired Fund Fees and expenses the Fund’s gross ratio would be 0.40%
The total return of the Fund does not reflect the effect of any insurance charges, the annual maintenance fee or the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Such charges, fees and tax payments would reduce the performance quoted.
The Fund’s performance is measured against a composite index (the “Balanced Composite Index”) which consists of 35% of the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index (“S&P 500 Index”) and 65% of the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. The S&P 500 Index is representative of 500 selected common stocks, most of which are listed on the New York Stock Exchange, and is a measure of the U.S. Stock market as a whole. The Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index is a market value-weighted performance benchmark for investment-grade fixed-rate debt issues, including government, corporate, asset-backed, and mortgage-backed securities, with maturities of at least one year. These indices are unmanaged and do not reflect the deduction of fees associated with a mutual fund, such as investment management and fund accounting fees. The Fund’s performance reflects the deduction of fees for services provided to the Fund. Investors cannot invest directly in an index.

Expense Examples and Portfolio Composition
(Unaudited)
 
As a shareholder of the AZL Fusion Conservative Fund (the “Fund”), you incur ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution fees, and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. Please note that the expenses shown in each table do not reflect expenses that apply to the subaccount or the insurance contract. If the expenses that apply to the subaccount of the insurance contract were included, your costs would have been higher.
 
The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the periods presented below.
 
Actual Example
 
The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information below, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

AZL Fusion Conservative Fund
  $ 1,000.00     $ 1,102.00     $ 1.32       0.25 %
 
* Expenses are equal to the average account value times the Fund’s annualized expense ratio multiplied by the number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year divided by the number of days in the fiscal year.
 
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
 
The table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.
 
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. Therefore, the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your cost would have been higher.

ALLIANZ VARIABLE INSURANCE PRODUCTS FUND OF FUNDS TRUST
AZL Fusion Conservative Fund
Notes to the Financial Statements
December 31, 2010
 
1. Organization
 
The Allianz Variable Insurance Products Fund of Funds Trust (the “Trust”) was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on June 16, 2004. The Trust is a diversified open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (the “1940 Act”). The Trust consists of seven separate investment portfolios, the AZL Balanced Index Strategy Fund, the AZL Fusion Balanced Fund, the AZL Fusion Conservative Fund, the AZL Fusion Edge Fund, the AZL Fusion Growth Fund, the AZL Fusion Moderate Fund, and the AZL Growth Index Strategy Fund (collectively, the “Funds”), each of which is a series of the Trust. These Notes to the Financial Statements are for the AZL Fusion Conservative Fund (the “Fund”).
 
The Fund is a “fund of funds,” which means that the Fund invests in other mutual funds. Underlying Funds invest in stock, bonds, and other securities and reflect varying amounts of potential investment risk and reward. Periodically, the Fund will adjust its asset allocation as it seeks to achieve its investment objective.
 
The Trust is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of the Fund without par value. Shares of the Fund are available through the variable annuity contracts offered through the separate accounts of participating insurance companies.
 
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Fund may enter into contracts with its vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund. However, based on experience, the Fund expects the risk of loss to be remote.
 
2. Significant Accounting Policies
 
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies conform with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Management has evaluated events and transactions subsequent to period end through the date the financial statements were available to be issued, for purposes of recognition or disclosure in these financial statements and there are no subsequent events to report.
 
Security Valuation
 
The Fund records its investments at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between willing market participants at the measurement date. The valuation techniques used to determine fair value are further described in Note 4 below.
 
Investment Transactions and Investment Income
 
Investment transactions are recorded no later than one business day following the trade date. For financial reporting purposes, securities transactions are recorded on trade date of the last business day of the reporting period. Net realized gains and losses on investments sold are recorded on the basis of identified cost of the security lot sold with the net sales proceeds. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis and includes, where applicable, the amortization of premiums or accretion of discounts. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.
 
Dividends to Shareholders
 
Dividends to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund distributes its dividends from net investment income and net realized capital gains, if any, on an annual basis. The amount of dividends from net investment income and from net realized gains are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are either temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature (e.g., return of capital, net operating loss, reclassification of certain market discounts, gain/loss, paydowns, and distributions), such amounts are reclassified within the composition of net assets based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences (e.g., wash sales and post October losses) do not require reclassification. Dividends to shareholders that exceed net investment income and net realized gains for tax purposes are reported as distributions of capital.

Expense Allocation
 
Expenses directly attributable to the Fund are charged directly to the Fund, while expenses attributable to more than one Fund are allocated among the respective Funds based upon relative net assets or some other reasonable method. Expenses which are attributable to more than one Trust are allocated across the Allianz Variable Insurance Products and Allianz Variable Insurance Products Fund of Funds Trusts based upon relative net assets or another reasonable basis. Allianz Investment Management LLC (the “Manager”), serves as the investment manager for the Trust and the Allianz Variable Insurance Products Trust.
 
3. Related Party Transactions
 
The Manager provides investment advisory and management services for the Fund. The Manager has contractually agreed to waive fees and reimburse the Fund to limit the annual expenses, excluding interest expense (e.g., cash overdraft fees), taxes, brokerage commissions, other expenditures that are capitalized in accordance with GAAP and other extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the Fund’s business and expenses paid indirectly, based on the daily net assets of the Fund, through April 30, 2012. Expenses incurred for investment advisory and management services are reflected on the Statement of Operations as “Manager fees.” The annual expense limit of the Fund is 0.35%.
 
For the year ended December 31, 2010, the annual rate due to the Manager and the annual expense limit were as follows:
 
                 
    Annual Rate*   Expense Limit
AZL Fusion Conservative Fund
    0.20 %     0.35 %
 
* The Manager voluntarily reduced the management fee to 0.15%. The Manager reserves the right to increase the management fee to the amount shown in the table above at any time.
 
Any amounts contractually waived or reimbursed by the Manager in a particular fiscal year will be subject to repayment by the Fund to the Manager to the extent that from time to time through the next three fiscal years the repayment will not cause the Fund’s expenses to exceed the stated limit during the respective year. Any amounts recouped by the Manager during the period are reflected on the Statement of Operations as “Recoupment of prior expenses reimbursed by the Manager.” At December 31, 2010, the contractual reimbursements that are subject to repayment by the Fund in subsequent years were as follows:
 
                 
    Expires
  Expires
    12/31/2012   12/31/2013
AZL Fusion Conservative Fund
  $ 10,635     $ 11,580  
 
In addition, the Manager may voluntarily waive or reimburse additional fees in order to maintain more competitive expense ratios. Any voluntary waivers or reimbursements are not subject to repayment in subsequent years. Information on the total amount waived/reimbursed by the Manager or repaid to the Manager by the Fund during the period can be found on the Statement of Operations.
 
The Manager or an affiliate of the Manager serves as the investment adviser of certain underlying funds in which the Fund invests. At December 31, 2010 these underlying funds are noted as Affiliated Investment Companies in the Fund’s Schedule of Portfolio Investments. The Manager or an affiliate of the Manager is paid a separate fee from the underlying funds for such services.
 
Pursuant to separate agreements between the Funds and the Manager, the Manager provides a Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”) and certain compliance oversight and regulatory filing services to the Trust. Under these agreements the Manager is entitled to an amount equal to a portion of the compensation and certain other expenses related to the individuals performing the CCO and compliance oversight services, as well as $75 per hour for time incurred in connection with the preparation and filing of certain documents with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The fees are paid to the Manager on a quarterly basis. The total expenses incurred by the Fund for these services are reflected on the Statement of Operations as “Administrative and compliance services fees.”
 
Citi Fund Services Ohio, Inc. (“Citi” or the “Administrator”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Citigroup, Inc., with which an officer of the Trust is affiliated, serves as the Trust’s administrator, transfer agent, and fund accountant, and assists the Trust in all aspects of its administration and operation. The Administrator is entitled to a fee, accrued daily and paid monthly. In addition, the Administrator is entitled to annual account fees related to the transfer agency system, and a Trust-wide annual fee for providing infrastructure and support in implementing the written policies and procedures comprising the Fund’s compliance program. The

Administrator is also reimbursed for certain expenses incurred. The total expenses incurred by the Fund for these services are reflected on the Statement of Operations as “Administration fees.”
 
Allianz Life Financial Services, LLC (“ALFS”), an affiliate of the Manager, serves as distributor of the Fund and receives a Trust-wide annual fee of $7,500, paid by the Manager from its profits and not by the Trust, for recordkeeping and reporting services.
 
In addition, certain legal fees and expenses are paid to a law firm, Dorsey & Whitney LLP, of which the Secretary of the Fund is a partner. During the year ended December 31, 2010, $848 was paid from the Fund relating to these fees and expenses.
 
Certain Officers and Trustees of the Trust are affiliated with the Manager or the Administrator. Such Officers (except for the Trust’s CCO as noted above) and Trustees receive no compensation from the Trust for serving in their respective roles. For their service to the Trust and to the Allianz Variable Insurance Products Trust, each non-interested Trustee receives a $33,000 annual Board retainer and a $7,500 meeting fee for each regular in-person Board meeting, a $3,000 meeting fee for each Committee meeting and a $3,000 meeting fee for each conference call. In addition, Trustees may receive compensation for special meetings and telephonic meetings. Also, the Trustees are reimbursed for certain expenses associated with attending Board meetings. Compensation to the Trustees is allocated between the Trust and the Allianz Variable Insurance Products Trust in proportion to the assets under management of each Trust. During the year ended December 31, 2010, actual Trustee compensation was $787,500 in total for both Trusts.
 
4. Investment Valuation Summary
 
The valuation techniques employed by the Fund, as described below, maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs in determining fair value. The inputs used for valuing the Fund’s investments are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
 
  •   Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical assets
  •   Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayments speeds, credit risk, etc.)
  •   Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
 
The inputs or methodology used for valuing investments is not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those investments.
 
Investments in other investment companies are valued at their published net asset value. Security prices are generally provided by an independent third party pricing service approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees (“Trustees”) as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) (generally 4:00 pm EST). Equity securities are valued at the last quoted sale price or, if there is no sale, the last quoted bid price is used for long securities and the last quoted ask price is used for securities sold short. Securities listed on NASDAQ Stock Market, Inc. (“NASDAQ”) are valued at the official closing price as reported by NASDAQ. In each of these situations, valuations are typically categorized as a Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their respective net asset value as reported by such companies and are typically categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.

December 31, 2010
 
For the year ended December 31, 2010, there were no Level 3 investments for which significant unobservable inputs were used to determine fair value.
 
The following is a summary of the valuation inputs used as of December 31, 2010 in valuing the Fund’s investments based upon the three levels defined above:
 
                                 
    Level 1   Level 2   Level 3   Total
Investment Securities:
                               
Affiliated Investment Companies
  $ 89,890,925     $ —     $ —     $ 89,890,925  
Investment Company
    32,597       —       —       32,597  
                                 
Total Investment Securities
  $ 89,923,522     $ —     $ —     $ 89,923,522  
                                 
 
The Fund recognizes significant transfers between fair value hierarchy levels at the reporting period end. There were no significant transfers between Levels 1 and 2 as of December 31, 2010.
 
In January 2010, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-06 “Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements”. The portions of ASU No. 2010-06 which require reporting entities to prepare new disclosures surrounding amounts and reason for significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements as well as inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements that fall in either Level 2 or Level 3 have been adopted by the Fund.
 
The remaining portion of ASU No. 2010-06 requires reporting entities to make new disclosures about information on purchases, sales, issuances and settlements on a gross basis in the reconciliation of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. These new and revised disclosures are required to be implemented for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010. Management is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this remaining portion of ASU No. 2010-06 may have on the Fund’s financial statement disclosures.
 
5. Security Purchases and Sales
 
For the year ended December 31, 2010, cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of securities (excluding securities maturing less than one year from acquisition) were as follows:
 
                 
    Purchases   Sales
AZL Fusion Conservative Fund
  $ 96,879,053     $ 16,388,004  
 
6. Federal Income Tax Information
 
It is the Fund’s policy to continue to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code under Subchapter M, applicable to regulated investment companies, and to distribute all of its taxable income, including any net realized gains on investments, to its shareholders. Therefore, no provision is made for federal income taxes.
 
Management of the Funds has reviewed tax positions taken in tax years that remain subject to examination by all major tax jurisdictions, including federal (i.e., the last four tax year ends and the interim tax period since then, as applicable). Management believes that there is no tax liability resulting from unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions taken.
 
Cost for federal income tax purposes at December 31, 2010, is $86,680,546. The gross unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) on a tax basis is as follows:
 
         
Unrealized appreciation
  $ 4,114,234  
Unrealized depreciation
    (871,258 )
         
Net unrealized appreciation
  $ 3,242,976

The Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”) was enacted on December 22, 2010. The Act makes changes to several tax rules impacting the Funds. In general, the provisions of the Act will be effective for the Funds’ fiscal year ending December 31, 2011. Although the Act provides several benefits, including the unlimited carryover of future capital losses, there may be a greater likelihood that all or a portion of each fund’s pre-enactment capital loss carryovers, if any, may expire without being utilized due to the fact that post-enactment capital losses get utilized before pre-enactment capital loss carryovers. Relevant information regarding the impact of the Act on the Fund, if any, will be contained within the “Federal Taxes” section of the financial statement notes for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2011.
 
The tax character of dividends paid to shareholders during the year ended December 31, 2010 were as follows:
 
                         
        Net
   
    Ordinary
  Long-Term
  Total
    Income   Capital Gains   Distributions(a)
AZL Fusion Conservative Fund
  $ 13,700     $ 19,948     $ 33,648  
 
(a) Total distributions paid may differ from the Statements of Changes in Net Assets because dividends are recognized when actually paid for tax purposes.
 
The tax character of dividends paid to shareholders during the year ended December 31, 2009 were as follows:

ALLIANZ VARIABLE INSURANCE PRODUCTS FUND OF FUNDS TRUST
 
Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement (Unaudited)
 
Subject to the general supervision of the Board of Trustees and in accordance with each Fund’s investment objectives and restrictions, investment advisory services are provided to the Funds by Allianz Investment Management LLC (the “Manager”). The Manager manages each Fund pursuant to an investment management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with the Trust in respect of each such Fund. The Management Agreement provides that the Manager, subject to the supervision and approval of the Board of Trustees, is responsible for the management of each Fund. This management includes making asset allocation decisions and investment decisions pursuant to which each Fund will invest in shares of Permitted Underlying Funds and in other Permitted Underlying Investments. For management services, each Fund pays the Manager an investment advisory fee based upon each Fund’s average daily net assets. The Manager has contractually agreed to limit the expenses of each Fund by reimbursing each Fund if and when total Fund operating expenses exceed certain amounts until at least May 1, 2012.
 
Wilshire Funds Management (“Wilshire”) serves as a consultant to the Manager in preparing statistical and other factual information for use in the creation and maintenance of the asset allocation models for the Fusion Funds (the AZL Fusion Conservative, Balanced, Moderate, Growth and Edge Funds) pursuant to an agreement between the Manager and Wilshire. Wilshire serves as a consultant to the Manager with respect to selecting the Fusion Permitted Underlying Investments and the Fund’s asset allocations among the Permitted Underlying Investments. The Manager, not any Fund, pays a consultant fee to Wilshire. Wilshire began serving in its capacity as a consultant beginning January 1, 2010.
 
In reviewing the services provided by the Manager and the terms of the Management Agreement, the Board receives and reviews information related to the Manager’s experience and expertise in the variable insurance marketplace. Currently, the Funds are offered only through variable annuities and variable life insurance policies, and not in the retail fund market. In addition, the Board receives information regarding the Manager’s expertise with regard to portfolio diversification and asset allocation requirements within variable insurance products issued by Allianz Life Insurance Company of North America and its subsidiary, Allianz Life Insurance Company of New York. Currently, the Funds are offered only through Allianz Life and Allianz of New York variable products.
 
As required by the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), the Trust’s Board has reviewed and approved the Management Agreement with the Manager. The Board’s decision to approve this contract reflects the exercise of its business judgment on whether to approve new arrangements and continue the existing arrangements. During its review of the contract, the Board considered many factors, among the most material of which are: the Funds’ investment objectives, the Manager’s management philosophy, personnel, processes and investment performance, including its compliance history and the adequacy of its compliance processes; the preferences and expectations of Fund shareholders (and underlying contract owners) and their relative sophistication; the continuing state of competition in the mutual fund industry; and comparable fees in the mutual fund industry.
 
The Board also considered the compensation and benefits received by the Manager. This includes fees received for services provided to a Fund by employees of the Manager or of affiliates of the Manager and research services received by the Manager from brokers that execute Fund trades, as well as advisory fees. The Board considered the fact that: (1) the Manager and the Trust are parties to an Administrative Service Agreement, Compliance Services Agreement and Chief Compliance Officer Agreement, under which the Manager is compensated by the Trust for performing certain administrative and compliance services including providing an employee of the Manager or one of its affiliates to act as the Trust’s Chief Compliance Officer; and (2) Allianz Life Financial Services LLC, an affiliated person of the Manager, is a registered securities broker-dealer and receives (along with its affiliated persons) payments made by the Underlying Funds pursuant to Rule 12b-1.
 
The Board is aware that various courts have interpreted provisions of the 1940 Act and have indicated in their decisions that the following factors may be relevant to the Manager’s compensation: the nature and quality of the services provided by the Manager, including the performance of the funds; the Manager’s cost of providing the services; the extent to which the Manager may realize “economies of scale” as the funds grow larger; any indirect benefits that may accrue to the Manager and its affiliates as a result of the Manager’s relationship with the funds; performance and expenses of comparable funds; the profitability to the Manager from acting as adviser to the funds; and the extent which the independent Board members are fully informed about all facts bearing on the Manager’s services and fees. The Trust’s Board is aware of these factors and took them into account in its review of the Management Agreement for the funds.
 
The Board considered and weighed these circumstances in light of its experience in governing the Trust, and is assisted in its deliberations by the advice of legal counsel to the Independent Trustees. In this regard, the Board requests and receives a significant amount of information about the Funds and the Manager. Some of this information is provided at each regular meeting of the Board; additional information is provided in connection with the particular meeting or meetings at which the Board’s formal review of an advisory contract occurs. In between regularly scheduled meetings, the Board may receive information on particular matters as the need arises. Thus, the Board’s evaluation of the Management Agreement is informed by reports covering

such matters as: the Manager’s investment philosophy, personnel and processes, and the Fund’s investment performance (in absolute terms as well as in relationship to its benchmark). In connection with comparing the performance of each Fund versus its benchmark, the Board receives reports on the extent to which the Fund’s performance may be attributed to various factors, such as asset class allocation decisions, overlay or global tactical asset allocation strategies, the performance of the Underlying Funds, rebalancing decisions, and the impact of cash positions and Fund fees and expenses. The Board also receives reports on the Funds’ expenses (including the advisory fee itself and the overall expense structure of the Funds, both in absolute terms and relative to similar and/or competing funds, with due regard for contractual or voluntary expense limitations); the nature and extent of the advisory and other services provided to the Fund by the Manager and its affiliates; compliance and audit reports concerning the Funds and the companies that service them; and relevant developments in the mutual fund industry and how the Funds and/or the Manager are responding to them.
 
The Board also receives financial information about the Manager, including reports on the compensation and benefits the Manager derives from its relationships with the Funds. These reports cover not only the fees under the Management Agreement, but also fees, if any, received for providing other services to the Funds. The reports also discuss any indirect or “fall out” benefits the Manager or its affiliates may derive from its relationship with the Funds.
 
The Management Agreement was most recently considered at Board of Trustees meetings held in the fall of 2010. Information relevant to the approval of such Agreement was considered at a telephonic Board of Trustees meeting on October 20, 2010, and at an “in person” Board of Trustees meeting held November 3, 2010. The Agreement was approved at the Board meeting of November 3, 2010. At such meeting the Board also approved an Expense Limitation Agreement between the Manager and the Trust for the period ending April 30, 2012. In connection with such meetings, the Trustees requested and evaluated extensive materials from the Manager, including performance and expense information for other investment companies with similar investment objectives derived from data compiled by an independent third party provider and other sources believed to be reliable by the Manager. Prior to voting, the Trustees reviewed the proposed approval/continuance of the Agreement with management and with experienced counsel who are independent of the Manager and received a memorandum from such counsel discussing the legal standards for their consideration of the proposed approvals/continuances. The independent (“disinterested”) Trustees also discussed the proposed approvals/continuances in a private session with such counsel at which no representatives of the Manager were present. In reaching their determinations relating to the approval and/or continuance of the Agreement, in respect of each Fund, the Trustees considered all factors they believed relevant. The Board based its decision to approve the Agreement on the totality of the circumstances and relevant factors, and with a view to past and future long-term considerations. Not all of the factors and considerations discussed above and below are necessarily relevant to each Fund, and the Board did not assign relative weights to factors discussed herein or deem any one or group of them to be controlling in and of themselves.
 
An SEC rule requires that shareholder reports include a discussion of certain factors relating to the selection of the investment adviser and the approval of the advisory fee. The “factors” enumerated by the SEC are set forth below in italics, as well as the Board’s conclusions regarding such factors:
 
(1) The nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Manager. The Trustees noted that the Manager, subject to the control of the Board of Trustees, administers each Fund’s business and other affairs. The Trustees noted that the Manager also provides the Trust and each Fund with such administrative and other services (exclusive of, and in addition to, any such services provided by any others retained by the Trust on behalf of the Funds) and executive and other personnel as are necessary for the operation of the Trust and the Funds. Except for the Trust’s Chief Compliance Officer, the Manager pays all of the compensation of Trustees and officers of the Trust who are employees of the Manager or its affiliates.
 
The Trustees considered the scope and quality of services provided by the Manager and noted that the scope of such services provided had expanded as a result of recent regulatory and other developments. The Trustees noted that, for example, the Manager is responsible for maintaining and monitoring its own compliance program, and this compliance program has recently been refined and enhanced in light of new regulatory requirements. The Trustees considered the capabilities and resources which the Manager has dedicated to performing services on behalf of the Trust and its Funds. The quality of administrative and other services, including the Manager’s role in coordinating the activities of the Trust’s other service providers, also were considered. The Trustees concluded that, overall, they were satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services provided (and expected to be provided) to the Trust and to each of the Funds under the Management Agreement.
 
(2) The investment performance of the Fund and the Manager. In connection with the fall 2010 contract review process, Trustees received extensive information on the performance results of four of the Fusion Funds — the AZL Fusion Conservative, Balanced, Moderate and Growth Funds. (No performance information was available for the Fusion Edge Fund as it had no assets.) The Fusion Conservative Fund had an inception date of October 22, 2009, and the AZL Fusion Balanced, Moderate and Growth Funds had an inception date of May 1, 2005. Performance information includes information on absolute total return, performance versus the appropriate benchmark(s), the contribution to performance of the Manager’s asset class allocation decisions, overlay or global tactical asset allocation and volatility reduction strategies, the performance of the Underlying Funds, and the impact on performance of rebalancing decisions, cash and Fund fees. For example, in connection with the Board of

Table of Contents

Trustees meeting held September 15, 2010, the Manager reported that for the three year period ended June 30, 2010, the AZL Fusion Balanced, Moderate and Growth Funds ranked in the 25th, 36th and 89th percentiles, respectively, of the Lipper Fund “balanced” peer group, and for the year ended June 30, 2010 the rankings were in the 23rd, 16th, and 14th percentiles, respectively. For the year to date through June 30, 2010, the AZL Fusion Conservative Fund ranked in the 40th percentile of the Lipper peer group. For the year to date through June 30, 2010, AZL Balanced Index Strategy and AZL Growth Index Strategy Funds (which had an inception date of July 9, 2009) ranked in the 21st and 47th percentiles of the Lipper peer group.
 
At the Board of Trustees meeting held November 3, 2010, the Trustees determined that the investment performance of all of the Funds was acceptable.
 
(3) The costs of services to be provided and profits to be realized by the Manager and its affiliates from the relationship with the Funds. The Board considered that the Manager receives an advisory fee from each of the Funds. The Manager reported that for the Fusion Funds the advisory fee paid put these Funds in the 58th percentile of the customized peer group. The Manager reported that for the Index Strategy Funds the advisory fee paid by these Funds put them in the 12th percentile of the customized peer group. Trustees were provided with information that the operating expenses for the Fusion Balanced, Moderate and Growth Funds put them at the 62nd percentile, the Conservative and Edge Funds at the 85th percentile (as such Funds were newly launched and were not at scale), and the Index Strategy Funds in the 37th to 45th percentiles of the customized peer group.
 
The Manager provided information concerning the profitability of the Manager’s investment advisory activities for the period from 2006 through June 30, 2010. The Trustees recognized that it is difficult to make comparisons of profitability from investment company advisory agreements because comparative information is not generally publicly available and is affected by numerous factors, including the structure of the particular adviser, the types of funds it manages, its business mix, numerous assumptions regarding allocation of expenses and the adviser’s capital structure and cost of capital. In considering profitability information, the Trustees considered the possible effect of certain fall-out benefits to the Manager and its affiliates. The Trustees focused on profitability of the Manager’s relationships with the Funds before taxes and distribution expenses. The Trustees recognized that the Manager should, in the abstract, be entitled to earn a reasonable level of profits for the services it provides to each Fund.
 
Based upon the information provided, the Board concluded that the Funds’ advisory fees and expense ratios are not unreasonable, and determined that there was no evidence that the Manager’s level of profitability from its relationship with the Funds was excessive.
 
(4) and (5) The extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Funds grow, and whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale. The Trustees noted that the advisory fee schedules for the Funds do not contain breakpoints that reduce the fee rate on assets above specified levels. The Trustees recognized that breakpoints may be an appropriate way for the Manager to share its economies of scale, if any, with Funds that have substantial assets. However, they also recognized that there may not be a direct relationship between any economies of scale realized by Funds and those realized by the Manager as assets increase. The Trustees do not believe there is a uniform methodology for establishing breakpoints that give effect to Fund-specific service provided by the Manager. The Trustees noted that in the fund industry as a whole, as well as among funds similar to the Funds, there is no uniformity or pattern in the fees and asset levels at which breakpoints (if any) apply. Depending on the age, size, and other characteristics of a particular fund and its manager’s cost structure, different conclusions can be drawn as to whether there are economies of scale to be realized at any particular level of assets, notwithstanding the intuitive conclusion that such economies exist, or will be realized at some level of total assets. Moreover, because different managers have different cost structures and service models, it is difficult to draw meaningful conclusions from the breakpoints that may have been adopted by other funds. The Trustees also noted that the advisory agreements for many funds do not have breakpoints at all, or if breakpoints exist, they may be at asset levels significantly greater than those of the individual Funds. The Trustees also noted that the total assets in all of the Funds as of June 30, 2010 were approximately $3.0 billion and that the largest Fund had assets of approximately $1.15 billion.
 
Having taken these factors into account, the Trustees concluded that the absence of breakpoints in the Funds’ advisory fee rate schedules was acceptable under each Fund’s circumstances.
 
The Trustees noted that the Manager has agreed to temporarily “cap” Fund expenses at certain levels, which has the effect of reducing expenses as would the implementation of advisory fee breakpoints. The Manager has committed to continue to consider the continuation of fee “caps” and/or advisory fee breakpoints as the Funds grow larger. The Board receives quarterly reports on the level of Fund assets. It expects to consider whether or not to approve the Management Agreement at a meeting to be held prior to December 31, 2011, and will at that time, or prior thereto, consider: (a) the extent to which economies of scale can be realized, and (b) whether the advisory fee should be modified to reflect such economies of scale, if any.

AZL FusionSM Edge Fund
Allianz Investment Management LLC serves as the Manager for the AZL FusionSM Edge Fund.
What factors affected the Fund’s performance from its inception on April 30, 2010 to the period ended December 31, 2010?
From its inception on April 30, 2010 to the period ended December 31, 2010, the AZL FusionSM Edge Fund returned 5.27%. That compared to a 7.49% total return for its benchmark, the S&P 500 Index1.
The Fund generates broad diversification by investing in 19 underlying funds. The Fund is a diversified equity portfolio that employs a dynamic risk management process designed to adjust the risk of the portfolio based on quantitative indicators of market risk.
The Fund’s absolute performance during the period benefited from gains in the equity markets and from strong absolute returns from some of the underlying funds in the portfolio. U.S. stock prices rose, despite continued levels of elevated volatility, as the economy strengthened and avoided spillover effects of the sovereign debt crises in Europe.
In terms of relative performance, the Fund lagged the S&P 500 Index for the year. The Fund’s relative return was negatively impacted by certain underlying funds, which lagged their stated benchmarks. In addition, the strategy’s risk management process positioned the fund more defensively than its benchmark index given the elevated levels of market volatility, which limited returns.
However, the Fund’s asset allocation helped bolster its relative performance somewhat. In particular, its exposure to mid-cap and small-cap equities, which outperformed large-cap stocks, benefited performance. The Fund’s holdings in non-traditional asset classes such as emerging market equities, global real estate and commodities also aided its relative returns, as these asset classes outperformed the S&P 500 Index.*
 
Past performance does not guarantee future results.

There is no guarantee that any sectors mentioned will continue to perform well or that securities in such sectors will be held by the Fund in the future. The information contained in this commentary is for informational purposes only and should not be construed as a recommendation to purchase or sell securities in the sector mentioned.

AZL FusionSM Edge Fund Review
Fund Objective
The Fund’s investment objective is to seek long-term capital appreciation. This objective may be changed by the Trustees of the Fund without shareholder approval. The Fund seeks to achieve its objective by investing in a combination of Permitted Underlying Funds that represent different classes in the Fund’s asset allocation.
Investment Concerns
The Fund invests in underlying funds, so its investment performance is directly related to the performance of those underlying funds. Before investing, investors should assess the risks associated with and types of investments made by each of the underlying funds in which the Fund invests.
Stocks are more volatile and carry more risk and return potential than other forms of investments.
Small- to mid-sized companies typically have a higher risk of failure and historically have experienced a greater degree of volatility.
Bonds offer a relatively stable level of income, although bond prices will fluctuate, providing the potential for principal gain or loss.
Cash equivalents offer low risk and low return potential.
Investing in derivatives instruments involves risks that may be different from or greater than the risk associated with investing directly in securities or other traditional instruments.

Expense Ratio2   Gross
 
AZL FusionSM Edge Fund
    1.40 %
The above expense ratio is based on the current Fund prospectus dated April 30, 2010. The Manager has voluntarily reduced the management fee to 0.15%. The Manager and the Fund have entered into a written contract limiting operating expenses, excluding certain expenses (such as interest expense), to 0.30% through April 30, 2012. Additional information pertaining to the December 31, 2010 expense ratios can be found in the financial highlights.
 
1   The hypothetical $10,000 investment for the S&P 500 Index is calculated from 4/29/10.
 
2   Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses are incurred indirectly by the Fund through the valuation of the Fund’s investments in the Permitted Underlying Funds. Accordingly, Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses affect the Fund’s total returns. Because these fees and expenses are not included in the Fund’s financial highlights, the Fund’s total annual fund operating expenses do not correlate to the ratios of expenses to average net assets shown in the financial highlights table. Without Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses the Fund’s gross ratio would be 0.70%.
The total return of the Fund does not reflect the effect of any insurance charges, the annual maintenance fee or the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Such charges, fees and tax payments would reduce the performance quoted.
The Fund’s performance is measured against the Standard & Poor’s 500® Index (“S&P 500 Index”), which is an unmanaged index that is representative of 500 selected common stocks, most of which are listed on the New York Stock Exchange, and is a measure of the U.S. Stock market as a whole. The index does not reflect the deduction of fees associated with a mutual fund, such as investment management and fund accounting fees. The Fund’s performance reflects the deduction of fees for services provided to the Fund. Investors cannot invest directly in an index.

Expense Examples and Portfolio Composition
(Unaudited)
 
As a shareholder of the AZL Fusion Edge Fund (the “Fund”), you incur ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution fees, and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. Please note that the expenses shown in each table do not reflect expenses that apply to the subaccount or the insurance contract. If the expenses that apply to the subaccount of the insurance contract were included, your costs would have been higher.
 
The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the periods presented below.
 
Actual Example
 
The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information below, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

  $ 1,000.00     $ 1,108.10     $ 1.59       0.30%  
 
* Expenses are equal to the average account value times the Fund’s annualized expense ratio multiplied by the number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year divided by the number of days in the fiscal year.
 
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
 
The table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.
 
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. Therefore, the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your cost would have been higher.

ALLIANZ VARIABLE INSURANCE PRODUCTS FUND OF FUNDS TRUST
AZL Fusion Edge Fund
Notes to the Financial Statements
December 31, 2010
 
1. Organization
 
The Allianz Variable Insurance Products Fund of Funds Trust (the “Trust”) was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on June 16, 2004. The Trust is a diversified open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (the “1940 Act”). The Trust consists of seven separate investment portfolios, the AZL Balanced Index Strategy Fund, the AZL Fusion Balanced Fund, the AZL Fusion Conservative Fund, the AZL Fusion Edge Fund, the AZL Fusion Growth Fund, the AZL Fusion Moderate Fund, and the AZL Growth Index Strategy Fund (collectively, the “Funds”), each of which is a series of the Trust. These Notes to the Financial Statements are for the AZL Fusion Edge Fund (the “Fund”), which commenced operations on April 30, 2010.
 
The Fund is a “fund of funds,” which means that the Fund invests in other mutual funds. Underlying Funds invest in stock, bonds, and other securities and reflect varying amounts of potential investment risk and reward. Periodically, the Fund will adjust its asset allocation as it seeks to achieve its investment objective.
 
The Trust is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of the Fund without par value. Shares of the Fund are available through the variable annuity contracts offered through the separate accounts of participating insurance companies.
 
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Fund may enter into contracts with its vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund. However, based on experience, the Fund expects the risk of loss to be remote.
 
2. Significant Accounting Policies
 
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies conform with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Management has evaluated events and transactions subsequent to period end through the date the financial statements were available to be issued, for purposes of recognition or disclosure in these financial statements and there are no subsequent events to report.
 
Security Valuation
 
The Fund records its investments at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between willing market participants at the measurement date. The valuation techniques used to determine fair value are further described in Note 4 below.
 
Investment Transactions and Investment Income
 
Investment transactions are recorded no later than one business day following the trade date. For financial reporting purposes, securities transactions are recorded on trade date of the last business day of the reporting period. Net realized gains and losses on investments sold are recorded on the basis of identified cost of the security lot sold with the net sales proceeds. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis and includes, where applicable, the amortization of premiums or accretion of discounts. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.
 
Dividends to Shareholders
 
Dividends to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund distributes its dividends from net investment income and net realized capital gains, if any, on an annual basis. The amount of dividends from net investment income and from net realized gains are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are either temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature (e.g., return of capital, net operating loss, reclassification of certain market discounts, gain/loss, paydowns, and distributions), such amounts are reclassified within the composition of net assets based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary

differences (e.g., wash sales and post October losses) do not require reclassification. Dividends to shareholders that exceed net investment income and net realized gains for tax purposes are reported as distributions of capital.
 
Expense Allocation
 
Expenses directly attributable to the Fund are charged directly to the Fund, while expenses attributable to more than one Fund are allocated among the respective Funds based upon relative net assets or some other reasonable method. Expenses which are attributable to more than one Trust are allocated across the Allianz Variable Insurance Products and Allianz Variable Insurance Products Fund of Funds Trusts based upon relative net assets or another reasonable basis. Allianz Investment Management LLC (the “Manager”), serves as the investment manager for the Trust and the Allianz Variable Insurance Products Trust.
 
3. Related Party Transactions
 
The Manager provides investment advisory and management services for the Fund. The Manager has contractually agreed to waive fees and reimburse the Fund to limit the annual expenses, excluding interest expense (e.g., cash overdraft fees), taxes, brokerage commissions, other expenditures that are capitalized in accordance with GAAP and other extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the Fund’s business and expenses paid indirectly, based on the daily net assets of the Fund, through April 30, 2012. Expenses incurred for investment advisory and management services are reflected on the Statement of Operations as “Manager fees.” The annual expense limit of the Fund is 0.30%.
 
For the period ended December 31, 2010, the annual rate due to the Manager and the annual expense limit were as follows:
 
                 
    Annual Rate*   Expense Limit
AZL Fusion Edge Fund
    0.20%       0.30%  
 
* The Manager voluntarily reduced the management fee to 0.15%. The Manager reserves the right to increase the management fee to the amount shown in the table above at any time.
 
Any amounts contractually waived or reimbursed by the Manager in a particular fiscal year will be subject to repayment by the Fund to the Manager to the extent that from time to time through the next three fiscal years the repayment will not cause the Fund’s expenses to exceed the stated limit during the respective year. Any amounts recouped by the Manager during the period are reflected on the Statement of Operations as “Recoupment of prior expenses reimbursed by the Manager.” At December 31, 2010, the contractual reimbursements that are subject to repayment by the Fund in subsequent years were as follows:
 
         
    Expires
    12/31/2013
AZL Fusion Edge Fund
  $ 7,000  
 
In addition, the Manager may voluntarily waive or reimburse additional fees in order to maintain more competitive expense ratios. Any voluntary waivers or reimbursements are not subject to repayment in subsequent years. Information on the total amount waived/reimbursed by the Manager or repaid to the Manager by the Fund during the period can be found on the Statement of Operations.
 
The Manager or an affiliate of the Manager serves as the investment adviser of certain underlying funds in which the Fund invests. At December 31, 2010 these underlying funds are noted as Affiliated Investment Companies in the Fund’s Schedule of Portfolio Investments. The Manager or an affiliate of the Manager is paid a separate fee from the underlying funds for such services.
 
Pursuant to separate agreements between the Funds and the Manager, the Manager provides a Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”) and certain compliance oversight and regulatory filing services to the Trust. Under these agreements the Manager is entitled to an amount equal to a portion of the compensation and certain other expenses related to the individuals performing the CCO and compliance oversight services, as well as $75 per hour for time incurred in connection with the preparation and filing of certain documents with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The fees are paid to the Manager on a quarterly basis. The total expenses incurred by the Fund for these services are reflected on the Statement of Operations as “Administrative and compliance services fees.”
 
Citi Fund Services Ohio, Inc. (“Citi” or the “Administrator”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Citigroup, Inc., with which an officer of the Trust is affiliated, serves as the Trust’s administrator, transfer agent, and fund accountant, and assists the Trust in all aspects

of its administration and operation. The Administrator is entitled to a fee, accrued daily and paid monthly. In addition, the Administrator is entitled to annual account fees related to the transfer agency system, and a Trust-wide annual fee for providing infrastructure and support in implementing the written policies and procedures comprising the Fund’s compliance program. The Administrator is also reimbursed for certain expenses incurred. The total expenses incurred by the Fund for these services are reflected on the Statement of Operations as “Administration fees.”
 
Allianz Life Financial Services, LLC (“ALFS”), an affiliate of the Manager, serves as distributor of the Fund and receives a Trust-wide annual fee of $7,500, paid by the Manager from its profits and not by the Trust, for recordkeeping and reporting services.
 
In addition, certain legal fees and expenses are paid to a law firm, Dorsey & Whitney LLP, of which the Secretary of the Fund is a partner. During the period ended December 31, 2010, $51 was paid from the Fund relating to these fees and expenses.
 
Certain Officers and Trustees of the Trust are affiliated with the Manager or the Administrator. Such Officers (except for the Trust’s CCO as noted above) and Trustees receive no compensation from the Trust for serving in their respective roles. For their service to the Trust and to the Allianz Variable Insurance Products Fund of Funds Trust, each non-interested Trustee receives a $33,000 annual Board retainer and a $7,500 meeting fee for each regular in-person Board meeting, a $3,000 meeting fee for each Committee meeting and a $3,000 meeting fee for each conference call. In addition, Trustees may receive compensation for special meetings and telephonic meetings. Also, the Trustees are reimbursed for certain expenses associated with attending Board meetings. Compensation to the Trustees is allocated between the Trust and the Allianz Variable Insurance Products Fund of Funds Trust in proportion to the assets under management of each Trust. During the period ended December 31, 2010, actual Trustee compensation was $787,500 in total for both Trusts.
 
4. Investment Valuation Summary
 
The valuation techniques employed by the Fund, as described below, maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs in determining fair value. The inputs used for valuing the Fund’s investments are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
 
  •   Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical assets
  •   Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayments speeds, credit risk, etc.)
  •   Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
 
The inputs or methodology used for valuing investments is not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those investments.
 
Investments in other investment companies are valued at their published net asset value. Security prices are generally provided by an independent third party pricing service approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees (“Trustees”) as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) (generally 4:00 pm EST). Equity securities are valued at the last quoted sale price or, if there is no sale, the last quoted bid price is used for long securities and the last quoted ask price is used for securities sold short. Securities listed on NASDAQ Stock Market, Inc. (“NASDAQ”) are valued at the official closing price as reported by NASDAQ. In each of these situations, valuations are typically categorized as a Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their respective net asset value as reported by such companies and are typically categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.

For the period ended December 31, 2010, there were no Level 3 investments for which significant unobservable inputs were used to determine fair value.
 
The following is a summary of the valuation inputs used as of December 31, 2010 in valuing the Fund’s investments based upon the three levels defined above:
 
                                 
    Level 1   Level 2   Level 3   Total
Investment Securities:
                               
Affiliated Investment Companies

Total Investment Securities
  $ 4,913,477     $ 345,327     $ —     $ 5,258,804  
                                 
 
(1) Consists of the holding, AZL Dynamic Investments Trust, listed under Affiliated Investment Companies on the Fund’s Schedule of Portfolio Investments.
 
The Fund recognizes significant transfers between fair value hierarchy levels at the reporting period end. There were no significant transfers between Levels 1 and 2 as of December 31, 2010.
 
In January 2010, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-06 “Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements”. The portions of ASU No. 2010-06 which require reporting entities to prepare new disclosures surrounding amounts and reason for significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements as well as inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements that fall in either Level 2 or Level 3 have been adopted by the Fund.
 
The remaining portion of ASU No. 2010-06 requires reporting entities to make new disclosures about information on purchases, sales, issuances and settlements on a gross basis in the reconciliation of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. These new and revised disclosures are required to be implemented for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010. Management is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this remaining portion of ASU No. 2010-06 may have on the Fund’s financial statement disclosures.
 
5. Security Purchases and Sales
 
For the period April 30, 2010 through December 31, 2010, cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of securities (excluding securities maturing less than one year from acquisition) were as follows:
 
                 
    Purchases   Sales
AZL Fusion Edge Fund
  $ 5,145,187     $ 107,263  
 
6. Federal Income Tax Information
 
It is the Fund’s policy to continue to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code under Subchapter M, applicable to regulated investment companies, and to distribute all of its taxable income, including any net realized gains on investments, to its shareholders. Therefore, no provision is made for federal income taxes.
 
Management of the Funds has reviewed tax positions taken in tax years that remain subject to examination by all major tax jurisdictions, including federal (i.e., the last four tax year ends and the interim tax period since then, as applicable). Management believes that there is no tax liability resulting from unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions taken.
 
Cost for federal income tax purposes at December 31, 2010, is $4,885,480. The gross unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) on a tax basis is as follows:
 
         
Unrealized appreciation
  $ 527,888  
Unrealized depreciation
    (154,564 )
         
Net unrealized appreciation
  $ 373,324

December 31, 2010
 
Under current tax law, capital losses realized after October 31 of a Fund’s fiscal year may be deferred and treated as occurring on the first business day of the following fiscal year for tax purposes. The Fund had $148,731 of deferred post October capital and currency losses, which will be treated as arising on the first business day of the fiscal year ending December 31, 2011.
 
The Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”) was enacted on December 22, 2010. The Act makes changes to several tax rules impacting the Funds. In general, the provisions of the Act will be effective for the Funds’ fiscal year ending December 31, 2011. Although the Act provides several benefits, including the unlimited carryover of future capital losses, there may be a greater likelihood that all or a portion of each fund’s pre-enactment capital loss carryovers, if any, may expire without being utilized due to the fact that post-enactment capital losses get utilized before pre-enactment capital loss carryovers. Relevant information regarding the impact of the Act on the Fund, if any, will be contained within the “Federal Taxes” section of the financial statement notes for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2011.
 
The tax character of dividends paid to shareholders during the period ended December 31, 2010 were as follows:
 
                                 
            Net
   
    Ordinary
  Return of
  Long-Term
  Total
    Income   Capital   Capital Gains   Distributions(a)
AZL Fusion Edge Fund
  $ 34,821     $ 5,561     $ 3,117     $ 43,499  
 
(a) Total distributions paid may differ from the Statements of Changes in Net Assets because dividends are recognized when actually paid for tax purposes.
 
As of December 31, 2010, the components of accumulated earnings on a tax basis were as follows:
 
                         
            Total
    Accumulated
      Accumulated
    Capital and

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 
The Board of Trustees and Shareholders
Allianz Variable Insurance Products Fund of Funds Trust:
 
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of AZL Fusion Edge Fund (the “Fund”) of the Allianz Variable Insurance Products Fund of Funds Trust, including the schedule of portfolio investments, as of December 31, 2010, and the related statements of operations and changes in net assets, and the financial highlights for the period April 30, 2010 to December 31, 2010. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audit.
 
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2010, by correspondence with the custodian and transfer agents. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of December 31, 2010, the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets, and the financial highlights for the period April 30, 2010 to December 31, 2010, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

ALLIANZ VARIABLE INSURANCE PRODUCTS FUND OF FUNDS TRUST
 
Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement (Unaudited)
 
Subject to the general supervision of the Board of Trustees and in accordance with each Fund’s investment objectives and restrictions, investment advisory services are provided to the Funds by Allianz Investment Management LLC (the “Manager”). The Manager manages each Fund pursuant to an investment management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with the Trust in respect of each such Fund. The Management Agreement provides that the Manager, subject to the supervision and approval of the Board of Trustees, is responsible for the management of each Fund. This management includes making asset allocation decisions and investment decisions pursuant to which each Fund will invest in shares of Permitted Underlying Funds and in other Permitted Underlying Investments. For management services, each Fund pays the Manager an investment advisory fee based upon each Fund’s average daily net assets. The Manager has contractually agreed to limit the expenses of each Fund by reimbursing each Fund if and when total Fund operating expenses exceed certain amounts until at least May 1, 2012.
 
Wilshire Funds Management (“Wilshire”) serves as a consultant to the Manager in preparing statistical and other factual information for use in the creation and maintenance of the asset allocation models for the Fusion Funds (the AZL Fusion Conservative, Balanced, Moderate, Growth and Edge Funds) pursuant to an agreement between the Manager and Wilshire. Wilshire serves as a consultant to the Manager with respect to selecting the Fusion Permitted Underlying Investments and the Fund’s asset allocations among the Permitted Underlying Investments. The Manager, not any Fund, pays a consultant fee to Wilshire. Wilshire began serving in its capacity as a consultant beginning January 1, 2010.
 
In reviewing the services provided by the Manager and the terms of the Management Agreement, the Board receives and reviews information related to the Manager’s experience and expertise in the variable insurance marketplace. Currently, the Funds are offered only through variable annuities and variable life insurance policies, and not in the retail fund market. In addition, the Board receives information regarding the Manager’s expertise with regard to portfolio diversification and asset allocation requirements within variable insurance products issued by Allianz Life Insurance Company of North America and its subsidiary, Allianz Life Insurance Company of New York. Currently, the Funds are offered only through Allianz Life and Allianz of New York variable products.
 
As required by the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), the Trust’s Board has reviewed and approved the Management Agreement with the Manager. The Board’s decision to approve this contract reflects the exercise of its business judgment on whether to approve new arrangements and continue the existing arrangements. During its review of the contract, the Board considered many factors, among the most material of which are: the Funds’ investment objectives, the Manager’s management philosophy, personnel, processes and investment performance, including its compliance history and the adequacy of its compliance processes; the preferences and expectations of Fund shareholders (and underlying contract owners) and their relative sophistication; the continuing state of competition in the mutual fund industry; and comparable fees in the mutual fund industry.
 
The Board also considered the compensation and benefits received by the Manager. This includes fees received for services provided to a Fund by employees of the Manager or of affiliates of the Manager and research services received by the Manager from brokers that execute Fund trades, as well as advisory fees. The Board considered the fact that: (1) the Manager and the Trust are parties to an Administrative Service Agreement, Compliance Services Agreement and Chief Compliance Officer Agreement, under which the Manager is compensated by the Trust for performing certain administrative and compliance services including providing an employee of the Manager or one of its affiliates to act as the Trust’s Chief Compliance Officer; and (2) Allianz Life Financial Services LLC, an affiliated person of the Manager, is a registered securities broker-dealer and receives (along with its affiliated persons) payments made by the Underlying Funds pursuant to Rule 12b-1.
 
The Board is aware that various courts have interpreted provisions of the 1940 Act and have indicated in their decisions that the following factors may be relevant to the Manager’s compensation: the nature and quality of the services provided by the Manager, including the performance of the funds; the Manager’s cost of providing the services; the extent to which the Manager may realize “economies of scale” as the funds grow larger; any indirect benefits that may accrue to the Manager and its affiliates as a result of the Manager’s relationship with the funds; performance and expenses of comparable funds; the profitability to the Manager from acting as adviser to the funds; and the extent which the independent Board members are fully informed about all facts bearing on the Manager’s services and fees. The Trust’s Board is aware of these factors and took them into account in its review of the Management Agreement for the funds.
 
The Board considered and weighed these circumstances in light of its experience in governing the Trust, and is assisted in its deliberations by the advice of legal counsel to the Independent Trustees. In this regard, the Board requests and receives a significant amount of information about the Funds and the Manager. Some of this information is provided at each regular meeting of the Board; additional information is provided in connection with the particular meeting or meetings at which the Board’s formal review of an advisory contract occurs. In between regularly scheduled meetings, the Board may receive information on particular matters as the need arises. Thus, the Board’s evaluation of the Management Agreement is informed by reports covering

18


Table of Contents

such matters as: the Manager’s investment philosophy, personnel and processes, and the Fund’s investment performance (in absolute terms as well as in relationship to its benchmark). In connection with comparing the performance of each Fund versus its benchmark, the Board receives reports on the extent to which the Fund’s performance may be attributed to various factors, such as asset class allocation decisions, overlay or global tactical asset allocation strategies, the performance of the Underlying Funds, rebalancing decisions, and the impact of cash positions and Fund fees and expenses. The Board also receives reports on the Funds’ expenses (including the advisory fee itself and the overall expense structure of the Funds, both in absolute terms and relative to similar and/or competing funds, with due regard for contractual or voluntary expense limitations); the nature and extent of the advisory and other services provided to the Fund by the Manager and its affiliates; compliance and audit reports concerning the Funds and the companies that service them; and relevant developments in the mutual fund industry and how the Funds and/or the Manager are responding to them.
 
The Board also receives financial information about the Manager, including reports on the compensation and benefits the Manager derives from its relationships with the Funds. These reports cover not only the fees under the Management Agreement, but also fees, if any, received for providing other services to the Funds. The reports also discuss any indirect or “fall out” benefits the Manager or its affiliates may derive from its relationship with the Funds.
 
The Management Agreement was most recently considered at Board of Trustees meetings held in the fall of 2010. Information relevant to the approval of such Agreement was considered at a telephonic Board of Trustees meeting on October 20, 2010, and at an “in person” Board of Trustees meeting held November 3, 2010. The Agreement was approved at the Board meeting of November 3, 2010. At such meeting the Board also approved an Expense Limitation Agreement between the Manager and the Trust for the period ending April 30, 2012. In connection with such meetings, the Trustees requested and evaluated extensive materials from the Manager, including performance and expense information for other investment companies with similar investment objectives derived from data compiled by an independent third party provider and other sources believed to be reliable by the Manager. Prior to voting, the Trustees reviewed the proposed approval/continuance of the Agreement with management and with experienced counsel who are independent of the Manager and received a memorandum from such counsel discussing the legal standards for their consideration of the proposed approvals/continuances. The independent (“disinterested”) Trustees also discussed the proposed approvals/continuances in a private session with such counsel at which no representatives of the Manager were present. In reaching their determinations relating to the approval and/or continuance of the Agreement, in respect of each Fund, the Trustees considered all factors they believed relevant. The Board based its decision to approve the Agreement on the totality of the circumstances and relevant factors, and with a view to past and future long-term considerations. Not all of the factors and considerations discussed above and below are necessarily relevant to each Fund, and the Board did not assign relative weights to factors discussed herein or deem any one or group of them to be controlling in and of themselves.
 
An SEC rule requires that shareholder reports include a discussion of certain factors relating to the selection of the investment adviser and the approval of the advisory fee. The “factors” enumerated by the SEC are set forth below in italics, as well as the Board’s conclusions regarding such factors:
 
(1) The nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Manager. The Trustees noted that the Manager, subject to the control of the Board of Trustees, administers each Fund’s business and other affairs. The Trustees noted that the Manager also provides the Trust and each Fund with such administrative and other services (exclusive of, and in addition to, any such services provided by any others retained by the Trust on behalf of the Funds) and executive and other personnel as are necessary for the operation of the Trust and the Funds. Except for the Trust’s Chief Compliance Officer, the Manager pays all of the compensation of Trustees and officers of the Trust who are employees of the Manager or its affiliates.
 
The Trustees considered the scope and quality of services provided by the Manager and noted that the scope of such services provided had expanded as a result of recent regulatory and other developments. The Trustees noted that, for example, the Manager is responsible for maintaining and monitoring its own compliance program, and this compliance program has recently been refined and enhanced in light of new regulatory requirements. The Trustees considered the capabilities and resources which the Manager has dedicated to performing services on behalf of the Trust and its Funds. The quality of administrative and other services, including the Manager’s role in coordinating the activities of the Trust’s other service providers, also were considered. The Trustees concluded that, overall, they were satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services provided (and expected to be provided) to the Trust and to each of the Funds under the Management Agreement.
 
(2) The investment performance of the Fund and the Manager. In connection with the fall 2010 contract review process, Trustees received extensive information on the performance results of four of the Fusion Funds — the AZL Fusion Conservative, Balanced, Moderate and Growth Funds. (No performance information was available for the Fusion Edge Fund as it had no assets.) The Fusion Conservative Fund had an inception date of October 22, 2009, and the AZL Fusion Balanced, Moderate and Growth Funds had an inception date of May 1, 2005. Performance information includes information on absolute total return, performance versus the appropriate benchmark(s), the contribution to performance of the Manager’s asset class allocation decisions, overlay or global tactical asset allocation and volatility reduction strategies, the performance of the Underlying Funds, and the impact on performance of rebalancing decisions, cash and Fund fees. For example, in connection with the Board of

19


Table of Contents

Trustees meeting held September 15, 2010, the Manager reported that for the three year period ended June 30, 2010, the AZL Fusion Balanced, Moderate and Growth Funds ranked in the 25th, 36th and 89th percentiles, respectively, of the Lipper Fund “balanced” peer group, and for the year ended June 30, 2010 the rankings were in the 23rd, 16th, and 14th percentiles, respectively. For the year to date through June 30, 2010, the AZL Fusion Conservative Fund ranked in the 40th percentile of the Lipper peer group. For the year to date through June 30, 2010, AZL Balanced Index Strategy and AZL Growth Index Strategy Funds (which had an inception date of July 9, 2009) ranked in the 21st and 47th percentiles of the Lipper peer group.
 
At the Board of Trustees meeting held November 3, 2010, the Trustees determined that the investment performance of all of the Funds was acceptable.
 
(3) The costs of services to be provided and profits to be realized by the Manager and its affiliates from the relationship with the Funds. The Board considered that the Manager receives an advisory fee from each of the Funds. The Manager reported that for the Fusion Funds the advisory fee paid put these Funds in the 58th percentile of the customized peer group. The Manager reported that for the Index Strategy Funds the advisory fee paid by these Funds put them in the 12th percentile of the customized peer group. Trustees were provided with information that the operating expenses for the Fusion Balanced, Moderate and Growth Funds put them at the 62nd percentile, the Conservative and Edge Funds at the 85th percentile (as such Funds were newly launched and were not at scale), and the Index Strategy Funds in the 37th to 45th percentiles of the customized peer group.
 
The Manager provided information concerning the profitability of the Manager’s investment advisory activities for the period from 2006 through June 30, 2010. The Trustees recognized that it is difficult to make comparisons of profitability from investment company advisory agreements because comparative information is not generally publicly available and is affected by numerous factors, including the structure of the particular adviser, the types of funds it manages, its business mix, numerous assumptions regarding allocation of expenses and the adviser’s capital structure and cost of capital. In considering profitability information, the Trustees considered the possible effect of certain fall-out benefits to the Manager and its affiliates. The Trustees focused on profitability of the Manager’s relationships with the Funds before taxes and distribution expenses. The Trustees recognized that the Manager should, in the abstract, be entitled to earn a reasonable level of profits for the services it provides to each Fund.
 
Based upon the information provided, the Board concluded that the Funds’ advisory fees and expense ratios are not unreasonable, and determined that there was no evidence that the Manager’s level of profitability from its relationship with the Funds was excessive.
 
(4) and (5) The extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Funds grow, and whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale. The Trustees noted that the advisory fee schedules for the Funds do not contain breakpoints that reduce the fee rate on assets above specified levels. The Trustees recognized that breakpoints may be an appropriate way for the Manager to share its economies of scale, if any, with Funds that have substantial assets. However, they also recognized that there may not be a direct relationship between any economies of scale realized by Funds and those realized by the Manager as assets increase. The Trustees do not believe there is a uniform methodology for establishing breakpoints that give effect to Fund-specific service provided by the Manager. The Trustees noted that in the fund industry as a whole, as well as among funds similar to the Funds, there is no uniformity or pattern in the fees and asset levels at which breakpoints (if any) apply. Depending on the age, size, and other characteristics of a particular fund and its manager’s cost structure, different conclusions can be drawn as to whether there are economies of scale to be realized at any particular level of assets, notwithstanding the intuitive conclusion that such economies exist, or will be realized at some level of total assets. Moreover, because different managers have different cost structures and service models, it is difficult to draw meaningful conclusions from the breakpoints that may have been adopted by other funds. The Trustees also noted that the advisory agreements for many funds do not have breakpoints at all, or if breakpoints exist, they may be at asset levels significantly greater than those of the individual Funds. The Trustees also noted that the total assets in all of the Funds as of June 30, 2010 were approximately $3.0 billion and that the largest Fund had assets of approximately $1.15 billion.
 
Having taken these factors into account, the Trustees concluded that the absence of breakpoints in the Funds’ advisory fee rate schedules was acceptable under each Fund’s circumstances.
 
The Trustees noted that the Manager has agreed to temporarily “cap” Fund expenses at certain levels, which has the effect of reducing expenses as would the implementation of advisory fee breakpoints. The Manager has committed to continue to consider the continuation of fee “caps” and/or advisory fee breakpoints as the Funds grow larger. The Board receives quarterly reports on the level of Fund assets. It expects to consider whether or not to approve the Management Agreement at a meeting to be held prior to December 31, 2011, and will at that time, or prior thereto, consider: (a) the extent to which economies of scale can be realized, and (b) whether the advisory fee should be modified to reflect such economies of scale, if any.

AZL FusionSM Growth Fund
Allianz Investment Management LLC serves as the Manager for the AZL FusionSM Growth Fund.
What factors affected the Fund’s performance during the 12-month period ended December 31, 2010?
For the 12-month period ended December 31, 2010, the AZL FusionSM Growth Fund returned 12.90%. That compared to a 13.68% total return for its benchmark, a composite index comprised of an 80% weighting in the S&P 500 Index1 and a 20% weighting in the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index2.
The Fund is a fund of funds that generates broad diversification by investing in 24 underlying funds as of December 31, 2010. The Fund typically holds between 70% and 90% of its assets in equity funds and 10% to 30% of its assets in fixed income funds. The Fund also invests in non-traditional asset classes like commodities.
The Fund’s absolute performance during the period benefited from gains in the equity and fixed-income markets and from strong absolute returns from some of the underlying funds in the portfolio. U.S. stock prices rose, despite continued levels of elevated volatility, as the economy strengthened and avoided spillover effects of the sovereign debt crises in Europe.
Equities, as measured by the S&P 500 Index, gained 15.06% during the 12-month period. International equities also delivered positive returns: The MSCI Emerging Markets Index3 gained 19.20%, and the MSCI EAFE Index4 returned 8.21%. Bond prices also rose, with the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index gaining 6.54% during the period. High-yield bonds returned 15.12% as measured by the Barclays Capital U.S. Corporate High-Yield Bond Index5, and Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS) gained 6.31% as measured by the Barclays Capital U.S. Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities Index6. Global bonds lagged U.S. bonds, delivering a 5.54% return as measured by the Barclays Capital Global Aggregate Bond Index7.
In terms of relative performance, the Fund underperformed its composite benchmark for the year. The Fund’s return relative to its benchmark was negatively impacted by certain underlying funds that lagged their stated benchmarks.*
However, the Fund’s asset allocation helped bolster its relative performance somewhat. In particular, its exposure to mid-cap and small-cap equities, which outperformed large-cap stocks, benefited performance. The Fund’s holdings in non-traditional asset classes such as emerging market equities, global real estate, high-yield bonds and commodities also aided its relative returns, as these asset classes outperformed the fund’s benchmark.*
 
 
Past performance does not guarantee future results.

AZL FusionSM Growth Fund Review
Fund Objective
The Fund’s investment objective is to seek long-term capital appreciation. This objective may be changed by the Trustees of the Fund without shareholder approval. The Fund seeks to achieve its objective by investing in a combination of Permitted Underlying Funds that represent different classes in the Fund’s asset allocation.
Investment Concerns
The Fund invests in underlying funds, so its investment performance is directly related to the performance of those underlying funds. Before investing, investors should assess the risks associated with and types of investments made by each of the underlying funds in which the Fund invests.
Stocks are more volatile and carry more risk and return potential than other forms of investments.
Small- to mid-sized companies typically have a higher risk of failure and historically have experienced a greater degree of volatility.
International investing may involve risk of capital loss from unfavorable fluctuations in currency values, from differences in generally accepted accounting principles or from economic or political instability in other nations.
Bonds offer a relatively stable level of income, although bond prices will fluctuate, providing the potential for principal gain or loss.
Cash equivalents offer low risk and low return potential.
Growth based investments can perform differently from the market as a whole and can be more volatile than other types of securities.

Expense Ratio3   Gross
 
AZL FusionSM Growth Fund
    1.28 %
The above expense ratio is based on the current Fund prospectus dated April 30, 2010. The Manager has voluntarily reduced the management fee to 0.15%. The Manager and the Fund have entered into a written contract limiting operating expenses, excluding certain expenses (such as interest expense), to 0.30% through April 30, 2012. Additional information pertaining to the December 31, 2010 expense ratios can be found in the financial highlights.
 
1   The hypothetical $10,000 investment for the Growth Composite Index, S&P 500 Index and the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index is calculated from 4/30/05.
 
2   The since inception performance data for the Growth Composite Index is calculated from 4/30/05.
 
3   Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses are incurred indirectly by the Fund through the valuation of the Fund’s investments in the Permitted Underlying Funds. Accordingly, Acquired Fees and Expenses affect the Fund’s total returns. Because these fees and expenses are not included in the Fund’s financial highlights, the Fund’s total annual fund operating expenses do not correlate to the ratios of expenses to average net assets shown in the financial highlights table. Without Acquired Fund Fees and expenses the Fund’s gross ratio would be 0.25%.
The total return of the Fund does not reflect the effect of any insurance charges, the annual maintenance fee or the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Such charges, fees and tax payments would reduce the performance quoted.
The Fund’s performance is measured against a composite index the (“Growth Composite Index”) which consists of 80% of the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index (“S&P 500 Index”) and 20% of the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. The S&P 500 Index is representative of 500 selected common stocks, most of which are listed on the New York Stock Exchange, and is a measure of the U.S. Stock market as a whole. The Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index is a market value weighted performance benchmark for investment-grade fixed-rate debt issues, including government, corporate, asset-backed, and mortgage-backed securities, with maturities of at least one year. These indices are unmanaged and do not reflect the deduction of fees associated with a mutual fund, such as investment management and fund accounting fees. The Fund’s performance reflects the deduction of fees for services provided to the Fund. Investors cannot invest directly in an index.

AZL Fusion Growth Fund
Expense Examples and Portfolio Composition
(Unaudited)
 
As a shareholder of the AZL Fusion Growth Fund (the “Fund”), you incur ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution fees, and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. Please note that the expenses shown in each table do not reflect expenses that apply to the subaccount or the insurance contract. If the expenses that apply to the subaccount of the insurance contract were included, your costs would have been higher.
 
The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the periods presented below.
 
Actual Example
 
The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information below, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

AZL Fusion Growth Fund
  $ 1,000.00     $ 1,171.30     $ 1.04       0.19%  
 
* Expenses are equal to the average account value times the Fund’s annualized expense ratio multiplied by the number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year divided by the number of days in the fiscal year.
 
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
 
The table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.
 
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. Therefore, the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your cost would have been higher.

ALLIANZ VARIABLE INSURANCE PRODUCTS FUND OF FUNDS TRUST
AZL Fusion Growth Fund
Notes to the Financial Statements
December 31, 2010
 
1. Organization
 
The Allianz Variable Insurance Products Fund of Funds Trust (the “Trust”) was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on June 16, 2004. The Trust is a diversified open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (the “1940 Act”). The Trust consists of seven separate investment portfolios, the AZL Balanced Index Strategy Fund, the AZL Fusion Balanced Fund, the AZL Fusion Conservative Fund, the AZL Fusion Edge Fund, the AZL Fusion Growth Fund, the AZL Fusion Moderate Fund, and the AZL Growth Index Strategy Fund (collectively, the “Funds”), each of which is a series of the Trust. These Notes to the Financial Statements are for the AZL Fusion Growth Fund (the “Fund”).
 
The Fund is a “fund of funds,” which means that the Fund invests in other mutual funds. Underlying Funds invest in stock, bonds, and other securities and reflect varying amounts of potential investment risk and reward. Periodically, the Fund will adjust its asset allocation as it seeks to achieve its investment objective.
 
The Trust is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of the Fund without par value. Shares of the Fund are available through the variable annuity contracts offered through the separate accounts of participating insurance companies.
 
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Fund may enter into contracts with its vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund. However, based on experience, the Fund expects the risk of loss to be remote.
 
2. Significant Accounting Policies
 
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies conform with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Management has evaluated events and transactions subsequent to period end through the date the financial statements were available to be issued, for purposes of recognition or disclosure in these financial statements and there are no subsequent events to report.
 
Security Valuation
 
The Fund records its investments at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between willing market participants at the measurement date. The valuation techniques used to determine fair value are further described in Note 4 below.
 
Investment Transactions and Investment Income
 
Investment transactions are recorded no later than one business day following the trade date. For financial reporting purposes, securities transactions are recorded on trade date of the last business day of the reporting period. Net realized gains and losses on investments sold are recorded on the basis of identified cost of the security lot sold with the net sales proceeds. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis and includes, where applicable, the amortization of premiums or accretion of discounts. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.
 
Dividends to Shareholders
 
Dividends to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund distributes its dividends from net investment income and net realized capital gains, if any, on an annual basis. The amount of dividends from net investment income and from net realized gains are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are either temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature (e.g., return of capital, net operating loss, reclassification of certain market discounts, gain/loss, paydowns, and distributions), such amounts are reclassified within the composition of net assets based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences (e.g., wash sales and post October losses) do not require reclassification. Dividends to shareholders that exceed net investment income and net realized gains for tax purposes are reported as distributions of capital.

Expense Allocation
 
Expenses directly attributable to the Fund are charged directly to the Fund, while expenses attributable to more than one Fund are allocated among the respective Funds based upon relative net assets or some other reasonable method. Expenses which are attributable to more than one Trust are allocated across the Allianz Variable Insurance Products and Allianz Variable Insurance Products Fund of Funds Trusts based upon relative net assets or another reasonable basis. Allianz Investment Management LLC (the “Manager”), serves as the investment manager for the Trust and the Allianz Variable Insurance Products Trust.
 
3. Related Party Transactions
 
The Manager provides investment advisory and management services for the Fund. The Manager has contractually agreed to waive fees and reimburse the Fund to limit the annual expenses, excluding interest expense (e.g., cash overdraft fees), taxes, brokerage commissions, other expenditures that are capitalized in accordance with GAAP and other extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the Fund’s business and expenses paid indirectly, based on the daily net assets of the Fund, through April 30, 2012. Expenses incurred for investment advisory and management services are reflected on the Statement of Operations as “Manager fees.” The annual expense limit of the Fund is 0.30%.
 
For the year ended December 31, 2010, the annual rate due to the Manager and the annual expense limit were as follows:
 
                 
    Annual Rate*   Expense Limit
AZL Fusion Growth Fund
    0.20%       0.30%  
 
* The Manager voluntarily reduced the management fee to 0.15%. The Manager reserves the right to increase the management fee to the amount shown in the table above at any time.
 
Any amounts contractually waived or reimbursed by the Manager in a particular fiscal year will be subject to repayment by the Fund to the Manager to the extent that from time to time through the next three fiscal years the repayment will not cause the Fund’s expenses to exceed the stated limit during the respective year. Any amounts recouped by the Manager during the period are reflected on the Statement of Operations as “Recoupment of prior expenses reimbursed by the Manager.” At December 31, 2010, there were no remaining contractual reimbursements that are subject to repayment by the Fund in subsequent years.
 
In addition, the Manager may voluntarily waive or reimburse additional fees in order to maintain more competitive expense ratios. Any voluntary waivers or reimbursements are not subject to repayment in subsequent years. Information on the total amount waived/reimbursed by the Manager or repaid to the Manager by the Fund during the period can be found on the Statement of Operations.
 
The Manager or an affiliate of the Manager serves as the investment adviser of certain underlying funds in which the Fund invests. At December 31, 2010 these underlying funds are noted as Affiliated Investment Companies in the Fund’s Schedule of Portfolio Investments. The Manager or an affiliate of the Manager is paid a separate fee from the underlying funds for such services.
 
Pursuant to separate agreements between the Funds and the Manager, the Manager provides a Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”) and certain compliance oversight and regulatory filing services to the Trust. Under these agreements the Manager is entitled to an amount equal to a portion of the compensation and certain other expenses related to the individuals performing the CCO and compliance oversight services, as well as $75 per hour for time incurred in connection with the preparation and filing of certain documents with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The fees are paid to the Manager on a quarterly basis. The total expenses incurred by the Fund for these services are reflected on the Statement of Operations as “Administrative and compliance services fees.”
 
Citi Fund Services Ohio, Inc. (“Citi” or the “Administrator”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Citigroup, Inc., with which an officer of the Trust is affiliated, serves as the Trust’s administrator, transfer agent, and fund accountant, and assists the Trust in all aspects of its administration and operation. The Administrator is entitled to a fee, accrued daily and paid monthly. In addition, the Administrator is entitled to annual account fees related to the transfer agency system, and a Trust-wide annual fee for providing infrastructure and support in implementing the written policies and procedures comprising the Fund’s compliance program. The Administrator is also reimbursed for certain expenses incurred. The total expenses incurred by the Fund for these services are reflected on the Statement of Operations as “Administration fees.”

Allianz Life Financial Services, LLC (“ALFS”), an affiliate of the Manager, serves as distributor of the Fund and receives a Trust-wide annual fee of $7,500, paid by the Manager from its profits and not by the Trust, for recordkeeping and reporting services.
 
In addition, certain legal fees and expenses are paid to a law firm, Dorsey & Whitney LLP, of which the Secretary of the Fund is a partner. During the year ended December 31, 2010, $19,269 was paid from the Fund relating to these fees and expenses.
 
Certain Officers and Trustees of the Trust are affiliated with the Manager or the Administrator. Such Officers (except for the Trust’s CCO as noted above) and Trustees receive no compensation from the Trust for serving in their respective roles. For their service to the Trust and to the Allianz Variable Insurance Products Trust, each non-interested Trustee receives a $33,000 annual Board retainer and a $7,500 meeting fee for each regular in-person Board meeting, a $3,000 meeting fee for each Committee meeting and a $3,000 meeting fee for each conference call. In addition, Trustees may receive compensation for special meetings and telephonic meetings. Also, the Trustees are reimbursed for certain expenses associated with attending Board meetings. Compensation to the Trustees is allocated between the Trust and the Allianz Variable Insurance Products Trust in proportion to the assets under management of each Trust. During the year ended December 31, 2010, actual Trustee compensation was $787,500 in total for both Trusts.
 
4. Investment Valuation Summary
 
The valuation techniques employed by the Fund, as described below, maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs in determining fair value. The inputs used for valuing the Fund’s investments are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
 
  •   Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical assets
  •   Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayments speeds, credit risk, etc.)
  •   Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
 
The inputs or methodology used for valuing investments is not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those investments.
 
Investments in other investment companies are valued at their published net asset value. Security prices are generally provided by an independent third party pricing service approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees (“Trustees”) as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) (generally 4:00 pm EST). Equity securities are valued at the last quoted sale price or, if there is no sale, the last quoted bid price is used for long securities and the last quoted ask price is used for securities sold short. Securities listed on NASDAQ Stock Market, Inc. (“NASDAQ”) are valued at the official closing price as reported by NASDAQ. In each of these situations, valuations are typically categorized as a Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their respective net asset value as reported by such companies and are typically categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.
 
For the year ended December 31, 2010, there were no Level 3 investments for which significant unobservable inputs were used to determine fair value.

The following is a summary of the valuation inputs used as of December 31, 2010 in valuing the Fund’s investments based upon the three levels defined above:
 
                                 
    Level 1   Level 2   Level 3   Total
Investment Securities:
                               
Affiliated Investment Companies
  $ 844,437,762     $ 20,283,652 (1)   $ —     $ 864,721,414  
                                 
Total Investment Securities
  $ 844,437,762     $ 20,283,652     $ —     $ 864,721,414  
                                 
 
(1) Consists of the holding, AZL Strategic Investments Trust, listed under Affiliated Investment Companies on the Fund’s Schedule of Portfolio Investments.
 
The Fund recognizes significant transfers between fair value hierarchy levels at the reporting period end. There were no significant transfers between Levels 1 and 2 as of December 31, 2010.
 
In January 2010, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-06 “Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements”. The portions of ASU No. 2010-06 which require reporting entities to prepare new disclosures surrounding amounts and reason for significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements as well as inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements that fall in either Level 2 or Level 3 have been adopted by the Fund.
 
The remaining portion of ASU No. 2010-06 requires reporting entities to make new disclosures about information on purchases, sales, issuances and settlements on a gross basis in the reconciliation of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. These new and revised disclosures are required to be implemented for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010. Management is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this remaining portion of ASU No. 2010-06 may have on the Fund’s financial statement disclosures.
 
5. Security Purchases and Sales
 
For the year ended December 31, 2010, cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of securities (excluding securities maturing less than one year from acquisition) were as follows:
 
                 
    Purchases   Sales
AZL Fusion Growth Fund
  $ 391,481,794     $ 434,723,021  
 
6. Federal Income Tax Information
 
It is the Fund’s policy to continue to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code under Subchapter M, applicable to regulated investment companies, and to distribute all of its taxable income, including any net realized gains on investments, to its shareholders. Therefore, no provision is made for federal income taxes.
 
Management of the Funds has reviewed tax positions taken in tax years that remain subject to examination by all major tax jurisdictions, including federal (i.e., the last four tax year ends and the interim tax period since then, as applicable). Management believes that there is no tax liability resulting from unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions taken.
 
Cost for federal income tax purposes at December 31, 2010, is $795,697,030. The gross unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) on a tax basis is as follows:
 
         
Unrealized appreciation
  $ 136,199,917  
Unrealized depreciation
    (67,175,533 )
         
Net unrealized appreciation
  $ 69,024,384  
         
 
Under current tax law, capital losses realized after October 31 of a Fund’s fiscal year may be deferred and treated as occurring on the first business day of the following fiscal year for tax purposes. The Fund had $3,453,973 of deferred post October capital and currency losses, which will be treated as arising on the first business day of the fiscal year ending December 31, 2011.

At December 31, 2010 the Fund had net capital loss carryforwards, as summarized below, to offset future net capital gains, if any, to the extent provided by the Treasury regulations. To the extent that these carryforwards are used to offset future capital gains, it is probable that the gains that are offset will not be distributed to shareholders.

AZL Fusion Growth Fund
  $ 212,569,942  
 
During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Fund utilized $31,401,224 in capital loss carryforwards to offset capital gains.
 
The Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”) was enacted on December 22, 2010. The Act makes changes to several tax rules impacting the Funds. In general, the provisions of the Act will be effective for the Funds’ fiscal year ending December 31, 2011. Although the Act provides several benefits, including the unlimited carryover of future capital losses, there may be a greater likelihood that all or a portion of each fund’s pre-enactment capital loss carryovers, if any, may expire without being utilized due to the fact that post-enactment capital losses get utilized before pre-enactment capital loss carryovers. Relevant information regarding the impact of the Act on the Fund, if any, will be contained within the “Federal Taxes” section of the financial statement notes for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2011.
 
The tax character of dividends paid to shareholders during the year ended December 31, 2010 were as follows:
 
                         
        Net
   
    Ordinary
  Long-Term
  Total
    Income   Capital Gains   Distributions(a)
AZL Fusion Growth Fund
  $ 14,145,379     $ —     $ 14,145,379  
 
(a) Total distributions paid may differ from the Statements of Changes in Net Assets because dividends are recognized when actually paid for tax purposes.
 
The tax character of dividends paid to shareholders during the year ended December 31, 2009 were as follows:
 
                         
        Net
   
    Ordinary
  Long-Term
  Total
    Income   Capital Gains   Distributions(a)

(a) Total distributions paid may differ from the Statements of Changes in Net Assets because dividends are recognized when actually paid for tax purposes.
 
As of December 31, 2010, the components of accumulated earnings on a tax basis were as follows:
 
                                         
                    Total

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 
The Board of Trustees and Shareholders
Allianz Variable Insurance Products Fund of Funds Trust:

Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement (Unaudited)
 
Subject to the general supervision of the Board of Trustees and in accordance with each Fund’s investment objectives and restrictions, investment advisory services are provided to the Funds by Allianz Investment Management LLC (the “Manager”). The Manager manages each Fund pursuant to an investment management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with the Trust in respect of each such Fund. The Management Agreement provides that the Manager, subject to the supervision and approval of the Board of Trustees, is responsible for the management of each Fund. This management includes making asset allocation decisions and investment decisions pursuant to which each Fund will invest in shares of Permitted Underlying Funds and in other Permitted Underlying Investments. For management services, each Fund pays the Manager an investment advisory fee based upon each Fund’s average daily net assets. The Manager has contractually agreed to limit the expenses of each Fund by reimbursing each Fund if and when total Fund operating expenses exceed certain amounts until at least May 1, 2012.
 
Wilshire Funds Management (“Wilshire”) serves as a consultant to the Manager in preparing statistical and other factual information for use in the creation and maintenance of the asset allocation models for the Fusion Funds (the AZL Fusion Conservative, Balanced, Moderate, Growth and Edge Funds) pursuant to an agreement between the Manager and Wilshire. Wilshire serves as a consultant to the Manager with respect to selecting the Fusion Permitted Underlying Investments and the Fund’s asset allocations among the Permitted Underlying Investments. The Manager, not any Fund, pays a consultant fee to Wilshire. Wilshire began serving in its capacity as a consultant beginning January 1, 2010.
 
In reviewing the services provided by the Manager and the terms of the Management Agreement, the Board receives and reviews information related to the Manager’s experience and expertise in the variable insurance marketplace. Currently, the Funds are offered only through variable annuities and variable life insurance policies, and not in the retail fund market. In addition, the Board receives information regarding the Manager’s expertise with regard to portfolio diversification and asset allocation requirements within variable insurance products issued by Allianz Life Insurance Company of North America and its subsidiary, Allianz Life Insurance Company of New York. Currently, the Funds are offered only through Allianz Life and Allianz of New York variable products.
 
As required by the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), the Trust’s Board has reviewed and approved the Management Agreement with the Manager. The Board’s decision to approve this contract reflects the exercise of its business judgment on whether to approve new arrangements and continue the existing arrangements. During its review of the contract, the Board considered many factors, among the most material of which are: the Funds’ investment objectives, the Manager’s management philosophy, personnel, processes and investment performance, including its compliance history and the adequacy of its compliance processes; the preferences and expectations of Fund shareholders (and underlying contract owners) and their relative sophistication; the continuing state of competition in the mutual fund industry; and comparable fees in the mutual fund industry.
 
The Board also considered the compensation and benefits received by the Manager. This includes fees received for services provided to a Fund by employees of the Manager or of affiliates of the Manager and research services received by the Manager from brokers that execute Fund trades, as well as advisory fees. The Board considered the fact that: (1) the Manager and the Trust are parties to an Administrative Service Agreement, Compliance Services Agreement and Chief Compliance Officer Agreement, under which the Manager is compensated by the Trust for performing certain administrative and compliance services including providing an employee of the Manager or one of its affiliates to act as the Trust’s Chief Compliance Officer; and (2) Allianz Life Financial Services LLC, an affiliated person of the Manager, is a registered securities broker-dealer and receives (along with its affiliated persons) payments made by the Underlying Funds pursuant to Rule 12b-1.
 
The Board is aware that various courts have interpreted provisions of the 1940 Act and have indicated in their decisions that the following factors may be relevant to the Manager’s compensation: the nature and quality of the services provided by the Manager, including the performance of the funds; the Manager’s cost of providing the services; the extent to which the Manager may realize “economies of scale” as the funds grow larger; any indirect benefits that may accrue to the Manager and its affiliates as a result of the Manager’s relationship with the funds; performance and expenses of comparable funds; the profitability to the Manager from acting as adviser to the funds; and the extent which the independent Board members are fully informed about all facts bearing on the Manager’s services and fees. The Trust’s Board is aware of these factors and took them into account in its review of the Management Agreement for the funds.
 
The Board considered and weighed these circumstances in light of its experience in governing the Trust, and is assisted in its deliberations by the advice of legal counsel to the Independent Trustees. In this regard, the Board requests and receives a significant amount of information about the Funds and the Manager. Some of this information is provided at each regular meeting of the Board; additional information is provided in connection with the particular meeting or meetings at which the Board’s formal review of an advisory contract occurs. In between regularly scheduled meetings, the Board may receive information on particular matters as the need arises. Thus, the Board’s evaluation of the Management Agreement is informed by reports covering

18


Table of Contents

such matters as: the Manager’s investment philosophy, personnel and processes, and the Fund’s investment performance (in absolute terms as well as in relationship to its benchmark). In connection with comparing the performance of each Fund versus its benchmark, the Board receives reports on the extent to which the Fund’s performance may be attributed to various factors, such as asset class allocation decisions, overlay or global tactical asset allocation strategies, the performance of the Underlying Funds, rebalancing decisions, and the impact of cash positions and Fund fees and expenses. The Board also receives reports on the Funds’ expenses (including the advisory fee itself and the overall expense structure of the Funds, both in absolute terms and relative to similar and/or competing funds, with due regard for contractual or voluntary expense limitations); the nature and extent of the advisory and other services provided to the Fund by the Manager and its affiliates; compliance and audit reports concerning the Funds and the companies that service them; and relevant developments in the mutual fund industry and how the Funds and/or the Manager are responding to them.
 
The Board also receives financial information about the Manager, including reports on the compensation and benefits the Manager derives from its relationships with the Funds. These reports cover not only the fees under the Management Agreement, but also fees, if any, received for providing other services to the Funds. The reports also discuss any indirect or “fall out” benefits the Manager or its affiliates may derive from its relationship with the Funds.
 
The Management Agreement was most recently considered at Board of Trustees meetings held in the fall of 2010. Information relevant to the approval of such Agreement was considered at a telephonic Board of Trustees meeting on October 20, 2010, and at an “in person” Board of Trustees meeting held November 3, 2010. The Agreement was approved at the Board meeting of November 3, 2010. At such meeting the Board also approved an Expense Limitation Agreement between the Manager and the Trust for the period ending April 30, 2012. In connection with such meetings, the Trustees requested and evaluated extensive materials from the Manager, including performance and expense information for other investment companies with similar investment objectives derived from data compiled by an independent third party provider and other sources believed to be reliable by the Manager. Prior to voting, the Trustees reviewed the proposed approval/continuance of the Agreement with management and with experienced counsel who are independent of the Manager and received a memorandum from such counsel discussing the legal standards for their consideration of the proposed approvals/continuances. The independent (“disinterested”) Trustees also discussed the proposed approvals/continuances in a private session with such counsel at which no representatives of the Manager were present. In reaching their determinations relating to the approval and/or continuance of the Agreement, in respect of each Fund, the Trustees considered all factors they believed relevant. The Board based its decision to approve the Agreement on the totality of the circumstances and relevant factors, and with a view to past and future long-term considerations. Not all of the factors and considerations discussed above and below are necessarily relevant to each Fund, and the Board did not assign relative weights to factors discussed herein or deem any one or group of them to be controlling in and of themselves.
 
An SEC rule requires that shareholder reports include a discussion of certain factors relating to the selection of the investment adviser and the approval of the advisory fee. The “factors” enumerated by the SEC are set forth below in italics, as well as the Board’s conclusions regarding such factors:
 
(1) The nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Manager. The Trustees noted that the Manager, subject to the control of the Board of Trustees, administers each Fund’s business and other affairs. The Trustees noted that the Manager also provides the Trust and each Fund with such administrative and other services (exclusive of, and in addition to, any such services provided by any others retained by the Trust on behalf of the Funds) and executive and other personnel as are necessary for the operation of the Trust and the Funds. Except for the Trust’s Chief Compliance Officer, the Manager pays all of the compensation of Trustees and officers of the Trust who are employees of the Manager or its affiliates.
 
The Trustees considered the scope and quality of services provided by the Manager and noted that the scope of such services provided had expanded as a result of recent regulatory and other developments. The Trustees noted that, for example, the Manager is responsible for maintaining and monitoring its own compliance program, and this compliance program has recently been refined and enhanced in light of new regulatory requirements. The Trustees considered the capabilities and resources which the Manager has dedicated to performing services on behalf of the Trust and its Funds. The quality of administrative and other services, including the Manager’s role in coordinating the activities of the Trust’s other service providers, also were considered. The Trustees concluded that, overall, they were satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services provided (and expected to be provided) to the Trust and to each of the Funds under the Management Agreement.
 
(2) The investment performance of the Fund and the Manager. In connection with the fall 2010 contract review process, Trustees received extensive information on the performance results of four of the Fusion Funds — the AZL Fusion Conservative, Balanced, Moderate and Growth Funds. (No performance information was available for the Fusion Edge Fund as it had no assets.) The Fusion Conservative Fund had an inception date of October 22, 2009, and the AZL Fusion Balanced, Moderate and Growth Funds had an inception date of May 1, 2005. Performance information includes information on absolute total return, performance versus the appropriate benchmark(s), the contribution to performance of the Manager’s asset class allocation decisions, overlay or global tactical asset allocation and volatility reduction strategies, the performance of the Underlying Funds, and the impact on performance of rebalancing decisions, cash and Fund fees. For example, in connection with the Board of

Trustees meeting held September 15, 2010, the Manager reported that for the three year period ended June 30, 2010, the AZL Fusion Balanced, Moderate and Growth Funds ranked in the 25th, 36th and 89th percentiles, respectively, of the Lipper Fund “balanced” peer group, and for the year ended June 30, 2010 the rankings were in the 23rd, 16th, and 14th percentiles, respectively. For the year to date through June 30, 2010, the AZL Fusion Conservative Fund ranked in the 40th percentile of the Lipper peer group. For the year to date through June 30, 2010, AZL Balanced Index Strategy and AZL Growth Index Strategy Funds (which had an inception date of July 9, 2009) ranked in the 21st and 47th percentiles of the Lipper peer group.
 
At the Board of Trustees meeting held November 3, 2010, the Trustees determined that the investment performance of all of the Funds was acceptable.
 
(3) The costs of services to be provided and profits to be realized by the Manager and its affiliates from the relationship with the Funds. The Board considered that the Manager receives an advisory fee from each of the Funds. The Manager reported that for the Fusion Funds the advisory fee paid put these Funds in the 58th percentile of the customized peer group. The Manager reported that for the Index Strategy Funds the advisory fee paid by these Funds put them in the 12th percentile of the customized peer group. Trustees were provided with information that the operating expenses for the Fusion Balanced, Moderate and Growth Funds put them at the 62nd percentile, the Conservative and Edge Funds at the 85th percentile (as such Funds were newly launched and were not at scale), and the Index Strategy Funds in the 37th to 45th percentiles of the customized peer group.
 
The Manager provided information concerning the profitability of the Manager’s investment advisory activities for the period from 2006 through June 30, 2010. The Trustees recognized that it is difficult to make comparisons of profitability from investment company advisory agreements because comparative information is not generally publicly available and is affected by numerous factors, including the structure of the particular adviser, the types of funds it manages, its business mix, numerous assumptions regarding allocation of expenses and the adviser’s capital structure and cost of capital. In considering profitability information, the Trustees considered the possible effect of certain fall-out benefits to the Manager and its affiliates. The Trustees focused on profitability of the Manager’s relationships with the Funds before taxes and distribution expenses. The Trustees recognized that the Manager should, in the abstract, be entitled to earn a reasonable level of profits for the services it provides to each Fund.
 
Based upon the information provided, the Board concluded that the Funds’ advisory fees and expense ratios are not unreasonable, and determined that there was no evidence that the Manager’s level of profitability from its relationship with the Funds was excessive.
 
(4) and (5) The extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Funds grow, and whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale. The Trustees noted that the advisory fee schedules for the Funds do not contain breakpoints that reduce the fee rate on assets above specified levels. The Trustees recognized that breakpoints may be an appropriate way for the Manager to share its economies of scale, if any, with Funds that have substantial assets. However, they also recognized that there may not be a direct relationship between any economies of scale realized by Funds and those realized by the Manager as assets increase. The Trustees do not believe there is a uniform methodology for establishing breakpoints that give effect to Fund-specific service provided by the Manager. The Trustees noted that in the fund industry as a whole, as well as among funds similar to the Funds, there is no uniformity or pattern in the fees and asset levels at which breakpoints (if any) apply. Depending on the age, size, and other characteristics of a particular fund and its manager’s cost structure, different conclusions can be drawn as to whether there are economies of scale to be realized at any particular level of assets, notwithstanding the intuitive conclusion that such economies exist, or will be realized at some level of total assets. Moreover, because different managers have different cost structures and service models, it is difficult to draw meaningful conclusions from the breakpoints that may have been adopted by other funds. The Trustees also noted that the advisory agreements for many funds do not have breakpoints at all, or if breakpoints exist, they may be at asset levels significantly greater than those of the individual Funds. The Trustees also noted that the total assets in all of the Funds as of June 30, 2010 were approximately $3.0 billion and that the largest Fund had assets of approximately $1.15 billion.
 
Having taken these factors into account, the Trustees concluded that the absence of breakpoints in the Funds’ advisory fee rate schedules was acceptable under each Fund’s circumstances.
 
The Trustees noted that the Manager has agreed to temporarily “cap” Fund expenses at certain levels, which has the effect of reducing expenses as would the implementation of advisory fee breakpoints. The Manager has committed to continue to consider the continuation of fee “caps” and/or advisory fee breakpoints as the Funds grow larger. The Board receives quarterly reports on the level of Fund assets. It expects to consider whether or not to approve the Management Agreement at a meeting to be held prior to December 31, 2011, and will at that time, or prior thereto, consider: (a) the extent to which economies of scale can be realized, and (b) whether the advisory fee should be modified to reflect such economies of scale, if any.

AZL FusionSM Moderate Fund
Allianz Investment Management LLC serves as the Manager for the AZL FusionSM Moderate Fund.
What factors affected the Fund’s performance during the 12-month period ended December 31, 2010?
For the 12-month period ended December 31, 2010, the AZL FusionSM Moderate Fund returned 11.74%. That compared to a 12.53% total return for its benchmark, a composite index comprised of a 65% weighting in the S&P 500 Index1 and a 35% weighting in the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index2.
The Fund is a fund of funds that generates broad diversification by investing in 24 underlying funds as of December 31, 2010. The Fund typically holds between 55% and 75% of its assets in equity funds and 25% to 45% of its assets in fixed income funds. The Fund also invests in non-traditional asset classes such as commodities.
The Fund’s positive absolute performance was driven in part by strong returns in the global equity markets. In the U.S., stock prices rose as the economy avoided a “double dip” recession as well as major spillover effects of the sovereign debt crises in Europe. The S&P 500 Index gained 15.06% during the period. In international markets, emerging markets equities gained 19.20% over the 12-month period, as measured by the MSCI Emerging Markets Index3, while developed international equity markets as measured by the MSCI EAFE Index4, returned 8.21%.
Positive results in the fixed-income markets also benefited the Fund’s absolute performance. Bond yields fell during the period, pushing bond prices higher. The Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index gained 6.54% during the period. High-yield bonds returned 15.12% as measured by the Barclays Capital U.S. Corporate High-Yield Bond Index5, and Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS) gained 6.31%, as measured by the Barclays Capital U.S. Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities Index6. Global bonds lagged U.S. bonds with a 5.54% return, as measured by the Barclays Capital Global Aggregate Bond Index7.
The Fund underperformed its composite benchmark for the year. The Fund’s underperformance relative to its benchmark resulted from the performance of the underlying funds’ managers, some of whom lagged their stated benchmarks. However, the Fund’s diverse asset allocation, especially its exposure to mid-cap and small-cap equities, contributed to performance relative to its composite benchmark. The Fund’s holdings in non-traditional asset classes such as emerging market equities, global real estate, high-yield bonds and commodities also aided its relative returns.*

5   The Barclays Capital U.S Corporate High-Yield Bond Index measures the market of USD-denominated, non-investment grade, fixed-rate, taxable corporate bonds. Securities are classified as high yield if the middle rating of Moody’s, Fitch, and S&P is Ba1/BB+/BB+ or below. The index excludes emerging market debt.

It contains three major components: the U.S. Aggregate (USD 300mn), the Pan-European Aggregate (EUR 300mn), and the Asian-Pacific Aggregate Index (JPY 35bn). In addition to securities from these three benchmarks, the index includes Global Treasury, Eurodollar (USD 300mn), Euro-Yen (JPY 25bn), Canadian (USD 300mn equivalent), and Investment Grade 144A (USD 300mn) index-eligible securities not already in the three regional aggregate indices.

AZL FusionSM Moderate Fund Review
Fund Objective
The Fund’s investment objective is to seek long-term capital appreciation. This objective may be changed by the Trustees of the Fund without shareholder approval. The Fund seeks to achieve its objective by investing in a combination of Permitted Underlying Funds that represent different classes in the Fund’s asset allocation.
Investment Concerns
The Fund invests in underlying funds, so its investment performance is directly related to the performance of those underlying funds. Before investing, investors should assess the risks associated with and types of investments made by each of the underlying funds in which the Fund invests.
Stocks are more volatile and carry more risk and return potential than other forms of investments.
Small- to mid-sized companies typically have a higher risk of failure and historically have experienced a greater degree of volatility.
International investing may involve risk of capital loss from unfavorable fluctuations in currency values, from differences in generally accepted accounting principles or from economic or political instability in other nations.
Bonds offer a relatively stable level of income, although bond prices will fluctuate, providing the potential for principal gain or loss.
Cash equivalents offer low risk and low return potential.

Expense Ratio3   Gross
 
AZL FusionSM Moderate Fund
    1.22 %
The above expense ratio is based on the current Fund prospectus dated April 30, 2010. The Manager has voluntarily reduced the management fee to 0.15%. The Manager and the Fund have entered into a written contract limiting operating expenses, excluding certain expenses (such as interest expense), to 0.30% through April 30, 2012. Additional information pertaining to the December 31, 2010 expense ratios can be found in the financial highlights.
 
1   The hypothetical $10,000 investment for the Moderate Composite Index, S&P 500 Index and the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index are calculated from 4/30/05.
 
2   The since inception performance data for the Moderate Composite Index is calculated from 4/30/05.
 
3   Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses are incurred indirectly by the Fund through the valuation of the Fund’s investments in the Permitted Underlying Funds. Accordingly, Acquired Fees and Expenses affect the Fund’s total returns. Because these fees and expenses are not included in the Fund’s financial highlights, the Fund’s total annual fund operating expenses do not correlate to the ratios of expenses to average net assets shown in the financial highlights table. Without Acquired Fund Fees and expenses the Fund’s gross ratio would be 0.25%.
The total return of the Fund does not reflect the effect of any insurance charges, the annual maintenance fee or the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Such charges, fees and tax payments would reduce the performance quoted.
The Fund’s performance is measured against a composite index the (“Moderate Composite Index”) which consists of 65% of the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index (“S&P 500 Index”) and 35% of the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. The S&P 500 Index is representative of 500 selected common stocks, most of which are listed on the New York Stock Exchange, and is a measure of the U.S. Stock market as a whole. The Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index is a market value weighted performance benchmark for investment-grade fixed-rate debt issues, including government, corporate, asset-backed, and mortgage-backed securities, with maturities of at least one year. These indices are unmanaged and do not reflect the deduction of fees associated with a mutual fund, such as investment management and fund accounting fees. The Fund’s performance reflects the deduction of fees for services provided to the Fund. Investors cannot invest directly in an index.

Expense Examples and Portfolio Composition
(Unaudited)
 
As a shareholder of the AZL Fusion Moderate Fund (the “Fund”), you incur ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution fees, and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. Please note that the expenses shown in each table do not reflect expenses that apply to the subaccount or the insurance contract. If the expenses that apply to the subaccount of the insurance contract were included, your costs would have been higher.
 
The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the periods presented below.
 
Actual Example
 
The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information below, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

* Expenses are equal to the average account value times the Fund’s annualized expense ratio multiplied by the number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year divided by the number of days in the fiscal year.
 
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
 
The table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.
 
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. Therefore, the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your cost would have been higher.

ALLIANZ VARIABLE INSURANCE PRODUCTS FUND OF FUNDS TRUST
AZL Fusion Moderate Fund
Notes to the Financial Statements
December 31, 2010
 
1. Organization
 
The Allianz Variable Insurance Products Fund of Funds Trust (the “Trust”) was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on June 16, 2004. The Trust is a diversified open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (the “1940 Act”). The Trust consists of seven separate investment portfolios, the AZL Balanced Index Strategy Fund, the AZL Fusion Balanced Fund, the AZL Fusion Conservative Fund, the AZL Fusion Edge Fund, the AZL Fusion Growth Fund, the AZL Fusion Moderate Fund, and the AZL Growth Index Strategy Fund (collectively, the “Funds”), each of which is a series of the Trust. These Notes to the Financial Statements are for the AZL Fusion Moderate Fund (the “Fund”).
 
The Fund is a “fund of funds,” which means that the Fund invests in other mutual funds. Underlying Funds invest in stock, bonds, and other securities and reflect varying amounts of potential investment risk and reward. Periodically, the Fund will adjust its asset allocation as it seeks to achieve its investment objective.
 
The Trust is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of the Fund without par value. Shares of the Fund are available through the variable annuity contracts offered through the separate accounts of participating insurance companies.
 
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Fund may enter into contracts with its vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund. However, based on experience, the Fund expects the risk of loss to be remote.
 
2. Significant Accounting Policies
 
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies conform with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Management has evaluated events and transactions subsequent to period end through the date the financial statements were available to be issued, for purposes of recognition or disclosure in these financial statements and there are no subsequent events to report.
 
Security Valuation
 
The Fund records its investments at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between willing market participants at the measurement date. The valuation techniques used to determine fair value are further described in Note 4 below.
 
Investment Transactions and Investment Income
 
Investment transactions are recorded no later than one business day following the trade date. For financial reporting purposes, securities transactions are recorded on trade date of the last business day of the reporting period. Net realized gains and losses on investments sold are recorded on the basis of identified cost of the security lot sold with the net sales proceeds. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis and includes, where applicable, the amortization of premiums or accretion of discounts. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.
 
Dividends to Shareholders
 
Dividends to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund distributes its dividends from net investment income and net realized capital gains, if any, on an annual basis. The amount of dividends from net investment income and from net realized gains are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are either temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature (e.g., return of capital, net operating loss, reclassification of certain market discounts, gain/loss, paydowns, and distributions), such amounts are reclassified within the composition of net assets based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences (e.g., wash sales and post October losses) do not require reclassification. Dividends to shareholders that exceed net investment income and net realized gains for tax purposes are reported as distributions of capital.

Expense Allocation
 
Expenses directly attributable to the Fund are charged directly to the Fund, while expenses attributable to more than one Fund are allocated among the respective Funds based upon relative net assets or some other reasonable method. Expenses which are attributable to more than one Trust are allocated across the Allianz Variable Insurance Products and Allianz Variable Insurance Products Fund of Funds Trusts based upon relative net assets or another reasonable basis. Allianz Investment Management LLC (the “Manager”), serves as the investment manager for the Trust and the Allianz Variable Insurance Products Trust.
 
3. Related Party Transactions
 
The Manager provides investment advisory and management services for the Fund. The Manager has contractually agreed to waive fees and reimburse the Fund to limit the annual expenses, excluding interest expense (e.g., cash overdraft fees), taxes, brokerage commissions, other expenditures that are capitalized in accordance with GAAP and other extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the Fund’s business and expenses paid indirectly, based on the daily net assets of the Fund, through April 30, 2012. Expenses incurred for investment advisory and management services are reflected on the Statement of Operations as “Manager fees.” The annual expense limit of the Fund is 0.30%.
 
For the year ended December 31, 2010, the annual rate due to the Manager and the annual expense limit were as follows:
 
                 
    Annual Rate*   Expense Limit
AZL Fusion Moderate Fund
    0.20 %     0.30 %
 
* The Manager voluntarily reduced the management fee to 0.15%. The Manager reserves the right to increase the management fee to the amount shown in the table above at any time.
 
Any amounts contractually waived or reimbursed by the Manager in a particular fiscal year will be subject to repayment by the Fund to the Manager to the extent that from time to time through the next three fiscal years the repayment will not cause the Fund’s expenses to exceed the stated limit during the respective year. Any amounts recouped by the Manager during the period are reflected on the Statement of Operations as “Recoupment of prior expenses reimbursed by the Manager.” At December 31, 2010, there were no remaining contractual reimbursements that are subject to repayment by the Fund in subsequent years.
 
In addition, the Manager may voluntarily waive or reimburse additional fees in order to maintain more competitive expense ratios. Any voluntary waivers or reimbursements are not subject to repayment in subsequent years. Information on the total amount waived/reimbursed by the Manager or repaid to the Manager by the Fund during the period can be found on the Statement of Operations.
 
The Manager or an affiliate of the Manager serves as the investment adviser of certain underlying funds in which the Fund invests. At December 31, 2010 these underlying funds are noted as Affiliated Investment Companies in the Fund’s Schedule of Portfolio Investments. The Manager or an affiliate of the Manager is paid a separate fee from the underlying funds for such services.
 
Pursuant to separate agreements between the Funds and the Manager, the Manager provides a Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”) and certain compliance oversight and regulatory filing services to the Trust. Under these agreements the Manager is entitled to an amount equal to a portion of the compensation and certain other expenses related to the individuals performing the CCO and compliance oversight services, as well as $75 per hour for time incurred in connection with the preparation and filing of certain documents with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The fees are paid to the Manager on a quarterly basis. The total expenses incurred by the Fund for these services are reflected on the Statement of Operations as “Administrative and compliance services fees.”
 
Citi Fund Services Ohio, Inc. (“Citi” or the “Administrator”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Citigroup, Inc., with which an officer of the Trust is affiliated, serves as the Trust’s administrator, transfer agent, and fund accountant, and assists the Trust in all aspects of its administration and operation. The Administrator is entitled to a fee, accrued daily and paid monthly. In addition, the Administrator is entitled to annual account fees related to the transfer agency system, and a Trust-wide annual fee for providing infrastructure and support in implementing the written policies and procedures comprising the Fund’s compliance program. The Administrator is also reimbursed for certain expenses incurred. The total expenses incurred by the Fund for these services are reflected on the Statement of Operations as “Administration fees.”

Notes to the Financial Statements, continued

December 31, 2010
 
Allianz Life Financial Services, LLC (“ALFS”), an affiliate of the Manager, serves as distributor of the Fund and receives a Trust-wide annual fee of $7,500, paid by the Manager from its profits and not by the Trust, for recordkeeping and reporting services.
 
In addition, certain legal fees and expenses are paid to a law firm, Dorsey & Whitney LLP, of which the Secretary of the Fund is a partner. During the year ended December 31, 2010, $26,623 was paid from the Fund relating to these fees and expenses.
 
Certain Officers and Trustees of the Trust are affiliated with the Manager or the Administrator. Such Officers (except for the Trust’s CCO as noted above) and Trustees receive no compensation from the Trust for serving in their respective roles. For their service to the Trust and to the Allianz Variable Insurance Products Trust, each non-interested Trustee receives a $33,000 annual Board retainer and a $7,500 meeting fee for each regular in-person Board meeting, a $3,000 meeting fee for each Committee meeting and a $3,000 meeting fee for each conference call. In addition, Trustees may receive compensation for special meetings and telephonic meetings. Also, the Trustees are reimbursed for certain expenses associated with attending Board meetings. Compensation to the Trustees is allocated between the Trust and the Allianz Variable Insurance Products Trust in proportion to the assets under management of each Trust. During the year ended December 31, 2010, actual Trustee compensation was $787,500 in total for both Trusts.
 
4. Investment Valuation Summary
 
The valuation techniques employed by the Fund, as described below, maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs in determining fair value. The inputs used for valuing the Fund’s investments are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
 
  •   Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical assets
  •   Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayments speeds, credit risk, etc.)
  •   Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
 
The inputs or methodology used for valuing investments is not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those investments.
 
Investments in other investment companies are valued at their published net asset value. Security prices are generally provided by an independent third party pricing service approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees (“Trustees”) as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) (generally 4:00 pm EST). Equity securities are valued at the last quoted sale price or, if there is no sale, the last quoted bid price is used for long securities and the last quoted ask price is used for securities sold short. Securities listed on NASDAQ Stock Market, Inc. (“NASDAQ”) are valued at the official closing price as reported by NASDAQ. In each of these situations, valuations are typically categorized as a Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their respective net asset value as reported by such companies and are typically categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.

ALLIANZ VARIABLE INSURANCE PRODUCTS FUND OF FUNDS TRUST
AZL Fusion Moderate Fund
Notes to the Financial Statements, continued

December 31, 2010
 
For the year ended December 31, 2010, there were no Level 3 investments for which significant unobservable inputs were used to determine fair value.
 
The following is a summary of the valuation inputs used as of December 31, 2010 in valuing the Fund’s investments based upon the three levels defined above:
 
                                 
    Level 1   Level 2   Level 3   Total
Investment Securities:
                               
Affiliated Investment Companies
  $ 1,515,260,391     $ 29,117,041 (1)   $ —     $ 1,544,377,432  
Investment Company
    464,882       —       —       464,882  
                                 
Total Investment Securities
  $ 1,515,725,273     $ 29,117,041     $ —     $ 1,544,842,314  
                                 
 
(1) Consists of the holding, AZL Strategic Investments Trust, listed under Affiliated Investment Companies on the Fund’s Schedule of Portfolio Investments.
 
The Fund recognizes significant transfers between fair value hierarchy levels at the reporting period end. There were no significant transfers between Levels 1 and 2 as of December 31, 2010.
 
In January 2010, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-06 “Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements”. The portions of ASU No. 2010-06 which require reporting entities to prepare new disclosures surrounding amounts and reason for significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements as well as inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements that fall in either Level 2 or Level 3 have been adopted by the Fund.
 
The remaining portion of ASU No. 2010-06 requires reporting entities to make new disclosures about information on purchases, sales, issuances and settlements on a gross basis in the reconciliation of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. These new and revised disclosures are required to be implemented for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010. Management is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this remaining portion of ASU No. 2010-06 may have on the Fund’s financial statement disclosures.
 
5. Security Purchases and Sales
 
For the year ended December 31, 2010, cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of securities (excluding securities maturing less than one year from acquisition) were as follows:
 
                 
    Purchases   Sales
AZL Fusion Moderate Fund
  $ 878,859,292     $ 382,527,382  
 
6. Federal Income Tax Information
 
It is the Fund’s policy to continue to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code under Subchapter M, applicable to regulated investment companies, and to distribute all of its taxable income, including any net realized gains on investments, to its shareholders. Therefore, no provision is made for federal income taxes.
 
Management of the Funds has reviewed tax positions taken in tax years that remain subject to examination by all major tax jurisdictions, including federal (i.e., the last four tax year ends and the interim tax period since then, as applicable). Management believes that there is no tax liability resulting from unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions taken.
 
Cost for federal income tax purposes at December 31, 2010 is $1,404,373,271. The gross unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) on a tax basis is as follows:
 
         
Unrealized appreciation
  $ 190,243,183  
Unrealized depreciation
    (49,774,140 )
         
Net unrealized appreciation
  $ 140,469,043

AZL Fusion Moderate Fund
Notes to the Financial Statements, continued

December 31, 2010
 
At December 31, 2010 the Fund had net capital loss carryforwards, as summarized below, to offset future net capital gains, if any, to the extent provided by the Treasury regulations. To the extent that these carryforwards are used to offset future capital gains, it is probable that the gains that are offset will not be distributed to shareholders.
 
         
    Expires
    12/31/2017
 
AZL Fusion Moderate Fund
  $ 91,275,480  
 
During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Fund utilized $38,038,338 in capital loss carryforwards to offset capital gains.
 
Under current tax law, capital losses realized after October 31 of a Fund’s fiscal year may be deferred and treated as occurring on the first business day of the following fiscal year for tax purposes. The Fund had $9,247,805 of deferred post October capital and currency losses, which will be treated as arising on the first business day of the fiscal year ending December 31, 2011.
 
The Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”) was enacted on December 22, 2010. The Act makes changes to several tax rules impacting the Funds. In general, the provisions of the Act will be effective for the Funds’ fiscal year ending December 31, 2011. Although the Act provides several benefits, including the unlimited carryover of future capital losses, there may be a greater likelihood that all or a portion of each fund’s pre-enactment capital loss carryovers, if any, may expire without being utilized due to the fact that post-enactment capital losses get utilized before pre-enactment capital loss carryovers. Relevant information regarding the impact of the Act on the Fund, if any, will be contained within the “Federal Taxes” section of the financial statement notes for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2011.
 
The tax character of dividends paid to shareholders during the year ended December 31, 2010 were as follows:
 
                         
        Net
   
    Ordinary
  Long-Term
  Total
    Income   Capital Gains   Distributions(a)
AZL Fusion Moderate Fund
  $ 22,241,097     $ —     $ 22,241,097  
 
(a) Total distributions paid may differ from the Statements of Changes in Net Assets because dividends are recognized when actually paid for tax purposes.
 
The tax character of dividends paid to shareholders during the year ended December 31, 2009 were as follows:
 
                         
        Net
   
    Ordinary
  Long-Term
  Total
    Income   Capital Gains   Distributions(a)
AZL Fusion Moderate Fund
  $ 17,151,802     $ 14,687,448     $ 31,839,250  
 
(a) Total distributions paid may differ from the Statements of Changes in Net Assets because dividends are recognized when actually paid for tax purposes.
 
As of December 31, 2010, the components of accumulated earnings on a tax basis were as follows:
 
                                         
                    Total
    Undistributed
      Accumulated
      Accumulated

(a) The differences between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation/depreciation is attributable primarily to tax deferral of losses on wash sales.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 
The Board of Trustees and Shareholders
Allianz Variable Insurance Products Fund of Funds Trust:
 
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of AZL Fusion Moderate Fund (the “Fund”) of the Allianz Variable Insurance Products Fund of Funds Trust, including the schedule of portfolio investments, as of December 31, 2010, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years in the five-year period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2010, by correspondence with the custodian and transfer agents. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of December 31, 2010, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years in the five-year period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement (Unaudited)
 
Subject to the general supervision of the Board of Trustees and in accordance with each Fund’s investment objectives and restrictions, investment advisory services are provided to the Funds by Allianz Investment Management LLC (the “Manager”). The Manager manages each Fund pursuant to an investment management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with the Trust in respect of each such Fund. The Management Agreement provides that the Manager, subject to the supervision and approval of the Board of Trustees, is responsible for the management of each Fund. This management includes making asset allocation decisions and investment decisions pursuant to which each Fund will invest in shares of Permitted Underlying Funds and in other Permitted Underlying Investments. For management services, each Fund pays the Manager an investment advisory fee based upon each Fund’s average daily net assets. The Manager has contractually agreed to limit the expenses of each Fund by reimbursing each Fund if and when total Fund operating expenses exceed certain amounts until at least May 1, 2012.
 
Wilshire Funds Management (“Wilshire”) serves as a consultant to the Manager in preparing statistical and other factual information for use in the creation and maintenance of the asset allocation models for the Fusion Funds (the AZL Fusion Conservative, Balanced, Moderate, Growth and Edge Funds) pursuant to an agreement between the Manager and Wilshire. Wilshire serves as a consultant to the Manager with respect to selecting the Fusion Permitted Underlying Investments and the Fund’s asset allocations among the Permitted Underlying Investments. The Manager, not any Fund, pays a consultant fee to Wilshire. Wilshire began serving in its capacity as a consultant beginning January 1, 2010.
 
In reviewing the services provided by the Manager and the terms of the Management Agreement, the Board receives and reviews information related to the Manager’s experience and expertise in the variable insurance marketplace. Currently, the Funds are offered only through variable annuities and variable life insurance policies, and not in the retail fund market. In addition, the Board receives information regarding the Manager’s expertise with regard to portfolio diversification and asset allocation requirements within variable insurance products issued by Allianz Life Insurance Company of North America and its subsidiary, Allianz Life Insurance Company of New York. Currently, the Funds are offered only through Allianz Life and Allianz of New York variable products.
 
As required by the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), the Trust’s Board has reviewed and approved the Management Agreement with the Manager. The Board’s decision to approve this contract reflects the exercise of its business judgment on whether to approve new arrangements and continue the existing arrangements. During its review of the contract, the Board considered many factors, among the most material of which are: the Funds’ investment objectives, the Manager’s management philosophy, personnel, processes and investment performance, including its compliance history and the adequacy of its compliance processes; the preferences and expectations of Fund shareholders (and underlying contract owners) and their relative sophistication; the continuing state of competition in the mutual fund industry; and comparable fees in the mutual fund industry.
 
The Board also considered the compensation and benefits received by the Manager. This includes fees received for services provided to a Fund by employees of the Manager or of affiliates of the Manager and research services received by the Manager from brokers that execute Fund trades, as well as advisory fees. The Board considered the fact that: (1) the Manager and the Trust are parties to an Administrative Service Agreement, Compliance Services Agreement and Chief Compliance Officer Agreement, under which the Manager is compensated by the Trust for performing certain administrative and compliance services including providing an employee of the Manager or one of its affiliates to act as the Trust’s Chief Compliance Officer; and (2) Allianz Life Financial Services LLC, an affiliated person of the Manager, is a registered securities broker-dealer and receives (along with its affiliated persons) payments made by the Underlying Funds pursuant to Rule 12b-1.
 
The Board is aware that various courts have interpreted provisions of the 1940 Act and have indicated in their decisions that the following factors may be relevant to the Manager’s compensation: the nature and quality of the services provided by the Manager, including the performance of the funds; the Manager’s cost of providing the services; the extent to which the Manager may realize “economies of scale” as the funds grow larger; any indirect benefits that may accrue to the Manager and its affiliates as a result of the Manager’s relationship with the funds; performance and expenses of comparable funds; the profitability to the Manager from acting as adviser to the funds; and the extent which the independent Board members are fully informed about all facts bearing on the Manager’s services and fees. The Trust’s Board is aware of these factors and took them into account in its review of the Management Agreement for the funds.
 
The Board considered and weighed these circumstances in light of its experience in governing the Trust, and is assisted in its deliberations by the advice of legal counsel to the Independent Trustees. In this regard, the Board requests and receives a significant amount of information about the Funds and the Manager. Some of this information is provided at each regular meeting of the Board; additional information is provided in connection with the particular meeting or meetings at which the Board’s formal review of an advisory contract occurs. In between regularly scheduled meetings, the Board may receive information on particular matters as the need arises. Thus, the Board’s evaluation of the Management Agreement is informed by reports covering

18


Table of Contents

such matters as: the Manager’s investment philosophy, personnel and processes, and the Fund’s investment performance (in absolute terms as well as in relationship to its benchmark). In connection with comparing the performance of each Fund versus its benchmark, the Board receives reports on the extent to which the Fund’s performance may be attributed to various factors, such as asset class allocation decisions, overlay or global tactical asset allocation strategies, the performance of the Underlying Funds, rebalancing decisions, and the impact of cash positions and Fund fees and expenses. The Board also receives reports on the Funds’ expenses (including the advisory fee itself and the overall expense structure of the Funds, both in absolute terms and relative to similar and/or competing funds, with due regard for contractual or voluntary expense limitations); the nature and extent of the advisory and other services provided to the Fund by the Manager and its affiliates; compliance and audit reports concerning the Funds and the companies that service them; and relevant developments in the mutual fund industry and how the Funds and/or the Manager are responding to them.
 
The Board also receives financial information about the Manager, including reports on the compensation and benefits the Manager derives from its relationships with the Funds. These reports cover not only the fees under the Management Agreement, but also fees, if any, received for providing other services to the Funds. The reports also discuss any indirect or “fall out” benefits the Manager or its affiliates may derive from its relationship with the Funds.
 
The Management Agreement was most recently considered at Board of Trustees meetings held in the fall of 2010. Information relevant to the approval of such Agreement was considered at a telephonic Board of Trustees meeting on October 20, 2010, and at an “in person” Board of Trustees meeting held November 3, 2010. The Agreement was approved at the Board meeting of November 3, 2010. At such meeting the Board also approved an Expense Limitation Agreement between the Manager and the Trust for the period ending April 30, 2012. In connection with such meetings, the Trustees requested and evaluated extensive materials from the Manager, including performance and expense information for other investment companies with similar investment objectives derived from data compiled by an independent third party provider and other sources believed to be reliable by the Manager. Prior to voting, the Trustees reviewed the proposed approval/continuance of the Agreement with management and with experienced counsel who are independent of the Manager and received a memorandum from such counsel discussing the legal standards for their consideration of the proposed approvals/continuances. The independent (“disinterested”) Trustees also discussed the proposed approvals/continuances in a private session with such counsel at which no representatives of the Manager were present. In reaching their determinations relating to the approval and/or continuance of the Agreement, in respect of each Fund, the Trustees considered all factors they believed relevant. The Board based its decision to approve the Agreement on the totality of the circumstances and relevant factors, and with a view to past and future long-term considerations. Not all of the factors and considerations discussed above and below are necessarily relevant to each Fund, and the Board did not assign relative weights to factors discussed herein or deem any one or group of them to be controlling in and of themselves.
 
An SEC rule requires that shareholder reports include a discussion of certain factors relating to the selection of the investment adviser and the approval of the advisory fee. The “factors” enumerated by the SEC are set forth below in italics, as well as the Board’s conclusions regarding such factors:
 
(1) The nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Manager. The Trustees noted that the Manager, subject to the control of the Board of Trustees, administers each Fund’s business and other affairs. The Trustees noted that the Manager also provides the Trust and each Fund with such administrative and other services (exclusive of, and in addition to, any such services provided by any others retained by the Trust on behalf of the Funds) and executive and other personnel as are necessary for the operation of the Trust and the Funds. Except for the Trust’s Chief Compliance Officer, the Manager pays all of the compensation of Trustees and officers of the Trust who are employees of the Manager or its affiliates.
 
The Trustees considered the scope and quality of services provided by the Manager and noted that the scope of such services provided had expanded as a result of recent regulatory and other developments. The Trustees noted that, for example, the Manager is responsible for maintaining and monitoring its own compliance program, and this compliance program has recently been refined and enhanced in light of new regulatory requirements. The Trustees considered the capabilities and resources which the Manager has dedicated to performing services on behalf of the Trust and its Funds. The quality of administrative and other services, including the Manager’s role in coordinating the activities of the Trust’s other service providers, also were considered. The Trustees concluded that, overall, they were satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services provided (and expected to be provided) to the Trust and to each of the Funds under the Management Agreement.
 
(2) The investment performance of the Fund and the Manager. In connection with the fall 2010 contract review process, Trustees received extensive information on the performance results of four of the Fusion Funds — the AZL Fusion Conservative, Balanced, Moderate and Growth Funds. (No performance information was available for the Fusion Edge Fund as it had no assets.) The Fusion Conservative Fund had an inception date of October 22, 2009, and the AZL Fusion Balanced, Moderate and Growth Funds had an inception date of May 1, 2005. Performance information includes information on absolute total return, performance versus the appropriate benchmark(s), the contribution to performance of the Manager’s asset class allocation decisions, overlay or global tactical asset allocation and volatility reduction strategies, the performance of the Underlying Funds, and the impact on performance of rebalancing decisions, cash and Fund fees. For example, in connection with the Board of

19


Table of Contents

Trustees meeting held September 15, 2010, the Manager reported that for the three year period ended June 30, 2010, the AZL Fusion Balanced, Moderate and Growth Funds ranked in the 25th, 36th and 89th percentiles, respectively, of the Lipper Fund “balanced” peer group, and for the year ended June 30, 2010 the rankings were in the 23rd, 16th, and 14th percentiles, respectively. For the year to date through June 30, 2010, the AZL Fusion Conservative Fund ranked in the 40th percentile of the Lipper peer group. For the year to date through June 30, 2010, AZL Balanced Index Strategy and AZL Growth Index Strategy Funds (which had an inception date of July 9, 2009) ranked in the 21st and 47th percentiles of the Lipper peer group.
 
At the Board of Trustees meeting held November 3, 2010, the Trustees determined that the investment performance of all of the Funds was acceptable.
 
(3) The costs of services to be provided and profits to be realized by the Manager and its affiliates from the relationship with the Funds. The Board considered that the Manager receives an advisory fee from each of the Funds. The Manager reported that for the Fusion Funds the advisory fee paid put these Funds in the 58th percentile of the customized peer group. The Manager reported that for the Index Strategy Funds the advisory fee paid by these Funds put them in the 12th percentile of the customized peer group. Trustees were provided with information that the operating expenses for the Fusion Balanced, Moderate and Growth Funds put them at the 62nd percentile, the Conservative and Edge Funds at the 85th percentile (as such Funds were newly launched and were not at scale), and the Index Strategy Funds in the 37th to 45th percentiles of the customized peer group.
 
The Manager provided information concerning the profitability of the Manager’s investment advisory activities for the period from 2006 through June 30, 2010. The Trustees recognized that it is difficult to make comparisons of profitability from investment company advisory agreements because comparative information is not generally publicly available and is affected by numerous factors, including the structure of the particular adviser, the types of funds it manages, its business mix, numerous assumptions regarding allocation of expenses and the adviser’s capital structure and cost of capital. In considering profitability information, the Trustees considered the possible effect of certain fall-out benefits to the Manager and its affiliates. The Trustees focused on profitability of the Manager’s relationships with the Funds before taxes and distribution expenses. The Trustees recognized that the Manager should, in the abstract, be entitled to earn a reasonable level of profits for the services it provides to each Fund.
 
Based upon the information provided, the Board concluded that the Funds’ advisory fees and expense ratios are not unreasonable, and determined that there was no evidence that the Manager’s level of profitability from its relationship with the Funds was excessive.
 
(4) and (5) The extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Funds grow, and whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale. The Trustees noted that the advisory fee schedules for the Funds do not contain breakpoints that reduce the fee rate on assets above specified levels. The Trustees recognized that breakpoints may be an appropriate way for the Manager to share its economies of scale, if any, with Funds that have substantial assets. However, they also recognized that there may not be a direct relationship between any economies of scale realized by Funds and those realized by the Manager as assets increase. The Trustees do not believe there is a uniform methodology for establishing breakpoints that give effect to Fund-specific service provided by the Manager. The Trustees noted that in the fund industry as a whole, as well as among funds similar to the Funds, there is no uniformity or pattern in the fees and asset levels at which breakpoints (if any) apply. Depending on the age, size, and other characteristics of a particular fund and its manager’s cost structure, different conclusions can be drawn as to whether there are economies of scale to be realized at any particular level of assets, notwithstanding the intuitive conclusion that such economies exist, or will be realized at some level of total assets. Moreover, because different managers have different cost structures and service models, it is difficult to draw meaningful conclusions from the breakpoints that may have been adopted by other funds. The Trustees also noted that the advisory agreements for many funds do not have breakpoints at all, or if breakpoints exist, they may be at asset levels significantly greater than those of the individual Funds. The Trustees also noted that the total assets in all of the Funds as of June 30, 2010 were approximately $3.0 billion and that the largest Fund had assets of approximately $1.15 billion.
 
Having taken these factors into account, the Trustees concluded that the absence of breakpoints in the Funds’ advisory fee rate schedules was acceptable under each Fund’s circumstances.
 
The Trustees noted that the Manager has agreed to temporarily “cap” Fund expenses at certain levels, which has the effect of reducing expenses as would the implementation of advisory fee breakpoints. The Manager has committed to continue to consider the continuation of fee “caps” and/or advisory fee breakpoints as the Funds grow larger. The Board receives quarterly reports on the level of Fund assets. It expects to consider whether or not to approve the Management Agreement at a meeting to be held prior to December 31, 2011, and will at that time, or prior thereto, consider: (a) the extent to which economies of scale can be realized, and (b) whether the advisory fee should be modified to reflect such economies of scale, if any.

AZL® Growth Index Strategy Fund
Allianz Investment Management LLC serves as the Manager for the AZL® Growth Index Strategy Fund.
What factors affected the Fund’s performance during the 12-month period ended December 31, 2010?
For the 12-month period ended December 31, 2010, the AZL® Growth Index Strategy Fund returned 13.42%. That compared to a 13.30% total return for its benchmark, a composite index comprised of a 75% weighting in the S&P 500 Index1 and a 25% weighting in the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index2.
The Fund pursues broad diversification across four equity sub-portfolios and one fixed income sub-portfolio. The four equity sub-portfolios pursue passive strategies that look to achieve, before fees, returns similar to the S&P 500 Index2, the S&P MidCap 400 Index3, the S&P SmallCap 600 Index4 and the MSCI EAFE Index5, which represents shares of large companies in developed foreign markets. The fixed income sub-portfolio is an enhanced bond index strategy that seeks to achieve a return exceeding that of the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. Generally, the Fund will allocate 65% to 85% of its assets to the underlying equity sub-portfolios and the remaining assets to the underlying bond sub-portfolio.*
The Fund’s positive absolute return was driven by exceptionally strong returns for stocks. The strong performance in the equity market for the 12-month period was led by small-cap and mid-cap stocks. The S&P SmallCap 600 gained 26.31% during the period, while the S&P MidCap 400 Index gained 26.64%.
Relative outperformance to the fund’s benchmark was a result of the Fund’s allocations to the AZL® Small Cap Stock Index and AZL® Mid Cap Index sub-portfolios. These results more than offset relative underperformance to the Fund’s benchmark by the Fund’s allocation to the AZL® International Index sub-portfolio. The fund’s fixed income sub-portfolio performed relatively in line with its benchmark, the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index.*
 
Past performance does not guarantee future results.
 
*   The Fund’s portfolio composition is subject to change. There is no guarantee that any sectors mentioned will continue to perform well or that securities in such sectors will be held by the Fund in the future. The information contained in this commentary is for informational purposes only and should not be construed as a recommendation to purchase or sell securities in the sector mentioned. The Fund’s holdings and weightings are as of December 31, 2010.
 
1   The Standard & Poor’s 500 Index (“S&P 500 Index”) is representative of 500 selected common stocks, most of which are listed on the New York Stock Exchange, and is a measure of the U.S. Stock market as a whole.
 
2   The Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index is a market value-weighted performance benchmark for investment-grade fixed-rate debt issues, including government, corporate, asset-backed, and mortgage-backed securities, with maturities of at least one year.
 
3   The S&P MidCap 400 Index (“S&P 400 Index”) is the most widely used index for mid-sized companies. The S&P 400 covers 7% of the U.S. equities market, and is part of a series of S&P U.S. indices that can be used as building blocks for portfolio composition.
 
4   The S&P SmallCap 600 covers approximately 3% of the domestic equities market. Measuring the small cap segment of the market that is typically renowned for poor trading liquidity and financial instability, the index is designed to be an efficient portfolio of companies that meet specific inclusion criteria to ensure that they are investable and financially viable.
 
5   The Morgan Stanley Capital International, Europe, Australasia and Far East (“MSCI EAFE”) Index is a free float-adjusted market capitalization-weighted index that is designed to measure the equity market performance of developed markets, excluding the U.S. & Canada.

AZL® Growth Index Strategy Fund Review
Fund Objective
The Fund’s investment objective is to seek long-term capital appreciation. This objective may be changed by the Trustees of the Fund without shareholder approval. The Fund seeks to achieve its objective by investing in a combination of Permitted Underlying Funds that represent different classes in the Fund’s asset allocation.
Investment Concerns
The Fund invests in underlying funds, so its investment performance is directly related to the performance of those underlying funds. Before investing, investors should assess the risks associated with and types of investments made by each of the underlying funds in which the Fund invests.
Stocks are more volatile and carry more risk and return potential than other forms of investments.
International investing may involve risk of capital loss from unfavorable fluctuations in currency values, from differences in generally accepted accounting principles or from economic or political instability in other nations.
Bonds offer a relatively stable level of income, although bond prices will fluctuate, providing the potential for principal gain or loss.
Cash equivalents offer low risk and low return potential.
The performance of the Fund is expected to be lower than that of the Index because of Fund fees and expenses. Securities in which the Fund will invest may involve substantial risk and may be subject to sudden severe price declines.

Expense Ratio1   Gross
 
AZL® Growth Index Strategy Fund
    0.81 %
The above expense ratio is based on the current Fund prospectus dated April 30, 2010. The Manager and the Fund have entered into a written contract limiting operating expenses, excluding certain expenses (such as interest expense), to 0.20% through April 30, 2012. Additional information pertaining to the December 31, 2010 expense ratios can be found in the financial highlights.
 
1   Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses are incurred indirectly by the Fund through the valuation of the Fund’s investments in the Permitted Underlying Funds. Accordingly, Acquired Fees and Expenses affect the Fund’s total returns. Because these fees and expenses are not included in the Fund’s financial highlights, the Fund’s total annual fund operating expenses do not correlate to the ratios of expenses to average net assets shown in the financial highlights table. Without Acquired Fund Fees and expenses the Fund’s gross ratio would be 0.20%.
The total return of the Fund does not reflect the effect of any insurance charges, the annual maintenance fee or the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Such charges, fees and tax payments would reduce the performance quoted.
The Fund’s performance is measured against a composite index (the “Balanced Composite Index”) which consists of 75% of the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index (“S&P 500 Index”) and 25% of the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. The S&P 500 Index is representative of 500 selected common stocks, most of which are listed on the New York Stock Exchange, and is a measure of the U.S. Stock market as a whole. The Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index is a market value-weighted performance benchmark for investment-grade fixed-rate debt issues, including government, corporate, asset-backed, and mortgage-backed securities, with maturities of at least one year. These indices are unmanaged and do not reflect the deduction of fees associated with a mutual fund, such as investment management and fund accounting fees. The Fund’s performance reflects the deduction of fees for services provided to the Fund. Investors cannot invest directly in an index.

Expense Examples and Portfolio Composition
(Unaudited)
 
As a shareholder of the AZL Growth Index Strategy Fund (the “Fund”), you incur ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution fees, and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. Please note that the expenses shown in each table do not reflect expenses that apply to the subaccount or the insurance contract. If the expenses that apply to the subaccount of the insurance contract were included, your costs would have been higher.
 
The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the periods presented below.
 
Actual Example
 
The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information below, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

AZL Growth Index Strategy Fund
  $ 1,000.00     $ 1,181.00     $ 0.33       0.06 %
 
* Expenses are equal to the average account value times the Fund’s annualized expense ratio multiplied by the number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year divided by the number of days in the fiscal year.
 
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
 
The table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.
 
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. Therefore, the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your cost would have been higher.

ALLIANZ VARIABLE INSURANCE PRODUCTS FUND OF FUNDS TRUST
AZL Growth Index Strategy Fund
Notes to the Financial Statements
December 31, 2010
 
1. Organization
 
The Allianz Variable Insurance Products Fund of Funds Trust (the “Trust”) was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on June 16, 2004. The Trust is a diversified open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (the “1940 Act”). The Trust consists of seven separate investment portfolios, the AZL Balanced Index Strategy Fund, the AZL Fusion Balanced Fund, the AZL Fusion Conservative Fund, the AZL Fusion Edge Fund, the AZL Fusion Growth Fund, the AZL Fusion Moderate Fund, and the AZL Growth Index Strategy Fund (collectively, the “Funds”), each of which is a series of the Trust. These Notes to the Financial Statements are for the AZL Growth Index Strategy Fund (the “Fund”).
 
The Fund is a “fund of funds,” which means that the Fund invests in other mutual funds. Underlying Funds invest in stock, bonds, and other securities and reflect varying amounts of potential investment risk and reward. Periodically, the Fund will adjust its asset allocation as it seeks to achieve its investment objective.
 
The Trust is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of the Fund without par value. Shares of the Fund are available through the variable annuity contracts offered through the separate accounts of participating insurance companies.
 
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Fund may enter into contracts with its vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund. However, based on experience, the Fund expects the risk of loss to be remote.
 
2. Significant Accounting Policies
 
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies conform with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Management has evaluated events and transactions subsequent to period end through the date the financial statements were available to be issued, for purposes of recognition or disclosure in these financial statements and there are no subsequent events to report.
 
Security Valuation
 
The Fund records its investments at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between willing market participants at the measurement date. The valuation techniques used to determine fair value are further described in Note 4 below.
 
Investment Transactions and Investment Income
 
Investment transactions are recorded no later than one business day following the trade date. For financial reporting purposes, securities transactions are recorded on trade date of the last business day of the reporting period. Net realized gains and losses on investments sold are recorded on the basis of identified cost of the security lot sold with the net sales proceeds. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis and includes, where applicable, the amortization of premiums or accretion of discounts. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.
 
Dividends to Shareholders
 
Dividends to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund distributes its dividends from net investment income and net realized capital gains, if any, on an annual basis. The amount of dividends from net investment income and from net realized gains are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are either temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature (e.g., return of capital, net operating loss, reclassification of certain market discounts, gain/loss, paydowns, and distributions), such amounts are reclassified within the composition of net assets based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences (e.g., wash sales and post October losses) do not require reclassification. Dividends to shareholders that exceed net investment income and net realized gains for tax purposes are reported as distributions of capital.

Expense Allocation
 
Expenses directly attributable to the Fund are charged directly to the Fund, while expenses attributable to more than one Fund are allocated among the respective Funds based upon relative net assets or some other reasonable method. Expenses which are attributable to more than one Trust are allocated across the Allianz Variable Insurance Products and Allianz Variable Insurance Products Fund of Funds Trusts based upon relative net assets or another reasonable basis. Allianz Investment Management LLC (the “Manager”), serves as the investment manager for the Trust and the Allianz Variable Insurance Products Trust.
 
3. Related Party Transactions
 
The Manager provides investment advisory and management services for the Fund. The Manager has contractually agreed to waive fees and reimburse the Fund to limit the annual expenses, excluding interest expense (e.g., cash overdraft fees), taxes, brokerage commissions, other expenditures that are capitalized in accordance with GAAP and other extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the Fund’s business and expenses paid indirectly, based on the daily net assets of the Fund, through April 30, 2012. Expenses incurred for investment advisory and management services are reflected on the Statement of Operations as “Manager fees.” The annual expense limit of the Fund is 0.20%.
 
For the year ended December 31, 2010, the annual rate due to the Manager and the annual expense limit were as follows:
 
                 
    Annual Rate   Expense Limit
AZL Growth Index Strategy Fund
    0.05 %     0.20 %
 
Any amounts contractually waived or reimbursed by the Manager in a particular fiscal year will be subject to repayment by the Fund to the Manager to the extent that from time to time through the next three fiscal years the repayment will not cause the Fund’s expenses to exceed the stated limit during the respective year. Any amounts recouped by the Manager during the period are reflected on the Statement of Operations as “Recoupment of prior expenses reimbursed by the Manager.” At December 31, 2010, there were no remaining contractual reimbursements that are subject to repayment by the Fund in subsequent years.
 
In addition, the Manager may voluntarily waive or reimburse additional fees in order to maintain more competitive expense ratios. Any voluntary waivers or reimbursements are not subject to repayment in subsequent years. Information on the total amount waived/reimbursed by the Manager or repaid to the Manager by the Fund during the period can be found on the Statement of Operations. During the year ended December 31, 2010, there were no voluntary waivers.
 
The Manager or an affiliate of the Manager serves as the investment adviser of certain underlying funds in which the Fund invests. At December 31, 2010 these underlying funds are noted as Affiliated Investment Companies in the Fund’s Schedule of Portfolio Investments. The Manager or an affiliate of the Manager is paid a separate fee from the underlying funds for such services.
 
Pursuant to separate agreements between the Funds and the Manager, the Manager provides a Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”) and certain compliance oversight and regulatory filing services to the Trust. Under these agreements the Manager is entitled to an amount equal to a portion of the compensation and certain other expenses related to the individuals performing the CCO and compliance oversight services, as well as $75 per hour for time incurred in connection with the preparation and filing of certain documents with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The fees are paid to the Manager on a quarterly basis. The total expenses incurred by the Fund for these services are reflected on the Statement of Operations as “Administrative and compliance services fees.”
 
Citi Fund Services Ohio, Inc. (“Citi” or the “Administrator”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Citigroup, Inc., with which an officer of the Trust is affiliated, serves as the Trust’s administrator, transfer agent, and fund accountant, and assists the Trust in all aspects of its administration and operation. The Administrator is entitled to a fee, accrued daily and paid monthly. In addition, the Administrator is entitled to annual account fees related to the transfer agency system, and a Trust-wide annual fee for providing infrastructure and support in implementing the written policies and procedures comprising the Fund’s compliance program. The Administrator is also reimbursed for certain expenses incurred. The total expenses incurred by the Fund for these services are reflected on the Statement of Operations as “Administration fees.”
 
Allianz Life Financial Services, LLC (“ALFS”), an affiliate of the Manager, serves as distributor of the Fund and receives a Trust-wide annual fee of $7,500, paid by the Manager from its profits and not by the Trust, for recordkeeping and reporting services.

In addition, certain legal fees and expenses are paid to a law firm, Dorsey & Whitney LLP, of which the Secretary of the Fund is a partner. During the year ended December 31, 2010, $4,991 was paid from the Fund relating to these fees and expenses.
 
Certain Officers and Trustees of the Trust are affiliated with the Manager or the Administrator. Such Officers (except for the Trust’s CCO as noted above) and Trustees receive no compensation from the Trust for serving in their respective roles. For their service to the Trust and to the Allianz Variable Insurance Products Trust, each non-interested Trustee receives a $33,000 annual Board retainer and a $7,500 meeting fee for each regular in-person Board meeting, a $3,000 meeting fee for each Committee meeting and a $3,000 meeting fee for each conference call. In addition, Trustees may receive compensation for special meetings and telephonic meetings. Also, the Trustees are reimbursed for certain expenses associated with attending Board meetings. Compensation to the Trustees is allocated between the Trust and the Allianz Variable Insurance Products Trust in proportion to the assets under management of each Trust. During the year ended December 31, 2010, actual Trustee compensation was $787,500 in total for both Trusts.
 
4. Investment Valuation Summary
 
The valuation techniques employed by the Fund, as described below, maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs in determining fair value. The inputs used for valuing the Fund’s investments are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
 
  •   Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical assets
  •   Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayments speeds, credit risk, etc.)
  •   Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
 
The inputs or methodology used for valuing investments is not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those investments.
 
Investments in other investment companies are valued at their published net asset value. Security prices are generally provided by an independent third party pricing service approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees (“Trustees”) as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) (generally 4:00 pm EST). Equity securities are valued at the last quoted sale price or, if there is no sale, the last quoted bid price is used for long securities and the last quoted ask price is used for securities sold short. Securities listed on NASDAQ Stock Market, Inc. (“NASDAQ”) are valued at the official closing price as reported by NASDAQ. In each of these situations, valuations are typically categorized as a Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their respective net asset value as reported by such companies and are typically categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.
 
For the year ended December 31, 2010, there were no Level 3 investments for which significant unobservable inputs were used to determine fair value.
 
The following is a summary of the valuation inputs used as of December 31, 2010 in valuing the Fund’s investments based upon the three levels defined above:
 
                                 
    Level 1   Level 2   Level 3   Total
Investment Securities:
                               
Affiliated Investment Companies
  $ 383,222,003     $ —     $ —     $ 383,222,003  
Investment Company
    1,788,069       —       —       1,788,069  
                                 
Total Investment Securities
  $ 385,010,072     $ —     $ —     $ 385,010,072

December 31, 2010
 
The Fund recognizes significant transfers between fair value hierarchy levels at the reporting period end. There were no significant transfers between Levels 1 and 2 as of December 31, 2010.
 
In January 2010, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-06 “Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements”. The portions of ASU No. 2010-06 which require reporting entities to prepare new disclosures surrounding amounts and reason for significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements as well as inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements that fall in either Level 2 or Level 3 have been adopted by the Fund.
 
The remaining portion of ASU No. 2010-06 requires reporting entities to make new disclosures about information on purchases, sales, issuances and settlements on a gross basis in the reconciliation of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. These new and revised disclosures are required to be implemented for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010. Management is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this remaining portion of ASU No. 2010-06 may have on the Fund’s financial statement disclosures.
 
5. Security Purchases and Sales
 
For the year ended December 31, 2010, cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of securities (excluding securities maturing less than one year from acquisition) were as follows:
 
                 
    Purchases   Sales
AZL Growth Index Strategy Fund
  $ 201,653,360     $ 21,733,511  
 
6. Federal Income Tax Information
 
It is the Fund’s policy to continue to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code under Subchapter M, applicable to regulated investment companies, and to distribute all of its taxable income, including any net realized gains on investments, to its shareholders. Therefore, no provision is made for federal income taxes.
 
Management of the Funds has reviewed tax positions taken in tax years that remain subject to examination by all major tax jurisdictions, including federal (i.e., the last four tax year ends and the interim tax period since then, as applicable). Management believes that there is no tax liability resulting from unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions taken.
 
Cost for federal income tax purposes at December 31, 2010 is $344,536,760. The gross unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) on a tax basis is as follows:
 
         
Unrealized appreciation
  $ 40,562,587  
Unrealized depreciation
    (89,275 )
         
Net unrealized appreciation
  $ 40,473,312  
         
 
During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Fund utilized $566,898 in capital loss carryforwards to offset capital gains.
 
The Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”) was enacted on December 22, 2010. The Act makes changes to several tax rules impacting the Funds. In general, the provisions of the Act will be effective for the Funds’ fiscal year ending December 31, 2011. Although the Act provides several benefits, including the unlimited carryover of future capital losses, there may be a greater likelihood that all or a portion of each fund’s pre-enactment capital loss carryovers, if any, may expire without being utilized due to the fact that post-enactment capital losses get utilized before pre-enactment capital loss carryovers. Relevant information regarding the impact of the Act on the Fund, if any, will be contained within the “Federal Taxes” section of the financial statement notes for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2011.
 
The tax character of dividends paid to shareholders during the year ended December 31, 2010 were as follows:
 
                 
    Ordinary
  Total
    Income   Distributions(a)
AZL Growth Index Strategy Fund
  $ 1,392     $ 1,392  
 
(a) Total distributions paid may differ from the Statements of Changes in Net Assets because dividends are recognized when actually paid for tax purposes.

(a) The differences between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation/depreciation is attributable primarily to tax deferral of losses on wash sales.
 
7.   Acquisitions of Funds
 
On October 23, 2009, the Fund acquired all of the net assets of the AZLTargetPLUS Growth Fund and AZLTargetPLUS Moderate Fund (the “Acquired Funds”), open-end investment companies, pursuant to a plan of reorganization approved by the Acquired Funds shareholders on October 21, 2009. The purpose of the transaction was to combine three funds managed by the Manager with comparable investment objectives and strategies. The acquisition was accomplished by a taxable exchange of 14,188,778 shares of the Fund, valued at $164,840,061, for 13,192,435 shares of the AZL TargetPLUS Growth Fund and 8,923,078 shares of the AZL TargetPLUS Moderate Fund outstanding on October 23, 2009.

ALLIANZ VARIABLE INSURANCE PRODUCTS FUND OF FUNDS TRUST
 
Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement (Unaudited)
 
Subject to the general supervision of the Board of Trustees and in accordance with each Fund’s investment objectives and restrictions, investment advisory services are provided to the Funds by Allianz Investment Management LLC (the “Manager”). The Manager manages each Fund pursuant to an investment management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with the Trust in respect of each such Fund. The Management Agreement provides that the Manager, subject to the supervision and approval of the Board of Trustees, is responsible for the management of each Fund. This management includes making asset allocation decisions and investment decisions pursuant to which each Fund will invest in shares of Permitted Underlying Funds and in other Permitted Underlying Investments. For management services, each Fund pays the Manager an investment advisory fee based upon each Fund’s average daily net assets. The Manager has contractually agreed to limit the expenses of each Fund by reimbursing each Fund if and when total Fund operating expenses exceed certain amounts until at least May 1, 2012.
 
Wilshire Funds Management (“Wilshire”) serves as a consultant to the Manager in preparing statistical and other factual information for use in the creation and maintenance of the asset allocation models for the Fusion Funds (the AZL Fusion Conservative, Balanced, Moderate, Growth and Edge Funds) pursuant to an agreement between the Manager and Wilshire. Wilshire serves as a consultant to the Manager with respect to selecting the Fusion Permitted Underlying Investments and the Fund’s asset allocations among the Permitted Underlying Investments. The Manager, not any Fund, pays a consultant fee to Wilshire. Wilshire began serving in its capacity as a consultant beginning January 1, 2010.
 
In reviewing the services provided by the Manager and the terms of the Management Agreement, the Board receives and reviews information related to the Manager’s experience and expertise in the variable insurance marketplace. Currently, the Funds are offered only through variable annuities and variable life insurance policies, and not in the retail fund market. In addition, the Board receives information regarding the Manager’s expertise with regard to portfolio diversification and asset allocation requirements within variable insurance products issued by Allianz Life Insurance Company of North America and its subsidiary, Allianz Life Insurance Company of New York. Currently, the Funds are offered only through Allianz Life and Allianz of New York variable products.
 
As required by the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), the Trust’s Board has reviewed and approved the Management Agreement with the Manager. The Board’s decision to approve this contract reflects the exercise of its business judgment on whether to approve new arrangements and continue the existing arrangements. During its review of the contract, the Board considered many factors, among the most material of which are: the Funds’ investment objectives, the Manager’s management philosophy, personnel, processes and investment performance, including its compliance history and the adequacy of its compliance processes; the preferences and expectations of Fund shareholders (and underlying contract owners) and their relative sophistication; the continuing state of competition in the mutual fund industry; and comparable fees in the mutual fund industry.
 
The Board also considered the compensation and benefits received by the Manager. This includes fees received for services provided to a Fund by employees of the Manager or of affiliates of the Manager and research services received by the Manager from brokers that execute Fund trades, as well as advisory fees. The Board considered the fact that: (1) the Manager and the Trust are parties to an Administrative Service Agreement, Compliance Services Agreement and Chief Compliance Officer Agreement, under which the Manager is compensated by the Trust for performing certain administrative and compliance services including providing an employee of the Manager or one of its affiliates to act as the Trust’s Chief Compliance Officer; and (2) Allianz Life Financial Services LLC, an affiliated person of the Manager, is a registered securities broker-dealer and receives (along with its affiliated persons) payments made by the Underlying Funds pursuant to Rule 12b-1.
 
The Board is aware that various courts have interpreted provisions of the 1940 Act and have indicated in their decisions that the following factors may be relevant to the Manager’s compensation: the nature and quality of the services provided by the Manager, including the performance of the funds; the Manager’s cost of providing the services; the extent to which the Manager may realize “economies of scale” as the funds grow larger; any indirect benefits that may accrue to the Manager and its affiliates as a result of the Manager’s relationship with the funds; performance and expenses of comparable funds; the profitability to the Manager from acting as adviser to the funds; and the extent which the independent Board members are fully informed about all facts bearing on the Manager’s services and fees. The Trust’s Board is aware of these factors and took them into account in its review of the Management Agreement for the funds.
 
The Board considered and weighed these circumstances in light of its experience in governing the Trust, and is assisted in its deliberations by the advice of legal counsel to the Independent Trustees. In this regard, the Board requests and receives a significant amount of information about the Funds and the Manager. Some of this information is provided at each regular meeting of the Board; additional information is provided in connection with the particular meeting or meetings at which the Board’s formal review of an advisory contract occurs. In between regularly scheduled meetings, the Board may receive information on particular matters as the need arises. Thus, the Board’s evaluation of the Management Agreement is informed by reports covering

18


Table of Contents

such matters as: the Manager’s investment philosophy, personnel and processes, and the Fund’s investment performance (in absolute terms as well as in relationship to its benchmark). In connection with comparing the performance of each Fund versus its benchmark, the Board receives reports on the extent to which the Fund’s performance may be attributed to various factors, such as asset class allocation decisions, overlay or global tactical asset allocation strategies, the performance of the Underlying Funds, rebalancing decisions, and the impact of cash positions and Fund fees and expenses. The Board also receives reports on the Funds’ expenses (including the advisory fee itself and the overall expense structure of the Funds, both in absolute terms and relative to similar and/or competing funds, with due regard for contractual or voluntary expense limitations); the nature and extent of the advisory and other services provided to the Fund by the Manager and its affiliates; compliance and audit reports concerning the Funds and the companies that service them; and relevant developments in the mutual fund industry and how the Funds and/or the Manager are responding to them.
 
The Board also receives financial information about the Manager, including reports on the compensation and benefits the Manager derives from its relationships with the Funds. These reports cover not only the fees under the Management Agreement, but also fees, if any, received for providing other services to the Funds. The reports also discuss any indirect or “fall out” benefits the Manager or its affiliates may derive from its relationship with the Funds.
 
The Management Agreement was most recently considered at Board of Trustees meetings held in the fall of 2010. Information relevant to the approval of such Agreement was considered at a telephonic Board of Trustees meeting on October 20, 2010, and at an “in person” Board of Trustees meeting held November 3, 2010. The Agreement was approved at the Board meeting of November 3, 2010. At such meeting the Board also approved an Expense Limitation Agreement between the Manager and the Trust for the period ending April 30, 2012. In connection with such meetings, the Trustees requested and evaluated extensive materials from the Manager, including performance and expense information for other investment companies with similar investment objectives derived from data compiled by an independent third party provider and other sources believed to be reliable by the Manager. Prior to voting, the Trustees reviewed the proposed approval/continuance of the Agreement with management and with experienced counsel who are independent of the Manager and received a memorandum from such counsel discussing the legal standards for their consideration of the proposed approvals/continuances. The independent (“disinterested”) Trustees also discussed the proposed approvals/continuances in a private session with such counsel at which no representatives of the Manager were present. In reaching their determinations relating to the approval and/or continuance of the Agreement, in respect of each Fund, the Trustees considered all factors they believed relevant. The Board based its decision to approve the Agreement on the totality of the circumstances and relevant factors, and with a view to past and future long-term considerations. Not all of the factors and considerations discussed above and below are necessarily relevant to each Fund, and the Board did not assign relative weights to factors discussed herein or deem any one or group of them to be controlling in and of themselves.
 
An SEC rule requires that shareholder reports include a discussion of certain factors relating to the selection of the investment adviser and the approval of the advisory fee. The “factors” enumerated by the SEC are set forth below in italics, as well as the Board’s conclusions regarding such factors:
 
(1) The nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Manager. The Trustees noted that the Manager, subject to the control of the Board of Trustees, administers each Fund’s business and other affairs. The Trustees noted that the Manager also provides the Trust and each Fund with such administrative and other services (exclusive of, and in addition to, any such services provided by any others retained by the Trust on behalf of the Funds) and executive and other personnel as are necessary for the operation of the Trust and the Funds. Except for the Trust’s Chief Compliance Officer, the Manager pays all of the compensation of Trustees and officers of the Trust who are employees of the Manager or its affiliates.
 
The Trustees considered the scope and quality of services provided by the Manager and noted that the scope of such services provided had expanded as a result of recent regulatory and other developments. The Trustees noted that, for example, the Manager is responsible for maintaining and monitoring its own compliance program, and this compliance program has recently been refined and enhanced in light of new regulatory requirements. The Trustees considered the capabilities and resources which the Manager has dedicated to performing services on behalf of the Trust and its Funds. The quality of administrative and other services, including the Manager’s role in coordinating the activities of the Trust’s other service providers, also were considered. The Trustees concluded that, overall, they were satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services provided (and expected to be provided) to the Trust and to each of the Funds under the Management Agreement.
 
(2) The investment performance of the Fund and the Manager. In connection with the fall 2010 contract review process, Trustees received extensive information on the performance results of four of the Fusion Funds — the AZL Fusion Conservative, Balanced, Moderate and Growth Funds. (No performance information was available for the Fusion Edge Fund as it had no assets.) The Fusion Conservative Fund had an inception date of October 22, 2009, and the AZL Fusion Balanced, Moderate and Growth Funds had an inception date of May 1, 2005. Performance information includes information on absolute total return, performance versus the appropriate benchmark(s), the contribution to performance of the Manager’s asset class allocation decisions, overlay or global tactical asset allocation and volatility reduction strategies, the performance of the Underlying Funds, and the impact on performance of rebalancing decisions, cash and Fund fees. For example, in connection with the Board of

Trustees meeting held September 15, 2010, the Manager reported that for the three year period ended June 30, 2010, the AZL Fusion Balanced, Moderate and Growth Funds ranked in the 25th, 36th and 89th percentiles, respectively, of the Lipper Fund “balanced” peer group, and for the year ended June 30, 2010 the rankings were in the 23rd, 16th, and 14th percentiles, respectively. For the year to date through June 30, 2010, the AZL Fusion Conservative Fund ranked in the 40th percentile of the Lipper peer group. For the year to date through June 30, 2010, AZL Balanced Index Strategy and AZL Growth Index Strategy Funds (which had an inception date of July 9, 2009) ranked in the 21st and 47th percentiles of the Lipper peer group.
 
At the Board of Trustees meeting held November 3, 2010, the Trustees determined that the investment performance of all of the Funds was acceptable.
 
(3) The costs of services to be provided and profits to be realized by the Manager and its affiliates from the relationship with the Funds. The Board considered that the Manager receives an advisory fee from each of the Funds. The Manager reported that for the Fusion Funds the advisory fee paid put these Funds in the 58th percentile of the customized peer group. The Manager reported that for the Index Strategy Funds the advisory fee paid by these Funds put them in the 12th percentile of the customized peer group. Trustees were provided with information that the operating expenses for the Fusion Balanced, Moderate and Growth Funds put them at the 62nd percentile, the Conservative and Edge Funds at the 85th percentile (as such Funds were newly launched and were not at scale), and the Index Strategy Funds in the 37th to 45th percentiles of the customized peer group.
 
The Manager provided information concerning the profitability of the Manager’s investment advisory activities for the period from 2006 through June 30, 2010. The Trustees recognized that it is difficult to make comparisons of profitability from investment company advisory agreements because comparative information is not generally publicly available and is affected by numerous factors, including the structure of the particular adviser, the types of funds it manages, its business mix, numerous assumptions regarding allocation of expenses and the adviser’s capital structure and cost of capital. In considering profitability information, the Trustees considered the possible effect of certain fall-out benefits to the Manager and its affiliates. The Trustees focused on profitability of the Manager’s relationships with the Funds before taxes and distribution expenses. The Trustees recognized that the Manager should, in the abstract, be entitled to earn a reasonable level of profits for the services it provides to each Fund.
 
Based upon the information provided, the Board concluded that the Funds’ advisory fees and expense ratios are not unreasonable, and determined that there was no evidence that the Manager’s level of profitability from its relationship with the Funds was excessive.
 
(4) and (5) The extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Funds grow, and whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale. The Trustees noted that the advisory fee schedules for the Funds do not contain breakpoints that reduce the fee rate on assets above specified levels. The Trustees recognized that breakpoints may be an appropriate way for the Manager to share its economies of scale, if any, with Funds that have substantial assets. However, they also recognized that there may not be a direct relationship between any economies of scale realized by Funds and those realized by the Manager as assets increase. The Trustees do not believe there is a uniform methodology for establishing breakpoints that give effect to Fund-specific service provided by the Manager. The Trustees noted that in the fund industry as a whole, as well as among funds similar to the Funds, there is no uniformity or pattern in the fees and asset levels at which breakpoints (if any) apply. Depending on the age, size, and other characteristics of a particular fund and its manager’s cost structure, different conclusions can be drawn as to whether there are economies of scale to be realized at any particular level of assets, notwithstanding the intuitive conclusion that such economies exist, or will be realized at some level of total assets. Moreover, because different managers have different cost structures and service models, it is difficult to draw meaningful conclusions from the breakpoints that may have been adopted by other funds. The Trustees also noted that the advisory agreements for many funds do not have breakpoints at all, or if breakpoints exist, they may be at asset levels significantly greater than those of the individual Funds. The Trustees also noted that the total assets in all of the Funds as of June 30, 2010 were approximately $3.0 billion and that the largest Fund had assets of approximately $1.15 billion.
 
Having taken these factors into account, the Trustees concluded that the absence of breakpoints in the Funds’ advisory fee rate schedules was acceptable under each Fund’s circumstances.
 
The Trustees noted that the Manager has agreed to temporarily “cap” Fund expenses at certain levels, which has the effect of reducing expenses as would the implementation of advisory fee breakpoints. The Manager has committed to continue to consider the continuation of fee “caps” and/or advisory fee breakpoints as the Funds grow larger. The Board receives quarterly reports on the level of Fund assets. It expects to consider whether or not to approve the Management Agreement at a meeting to be held prior to December 31, 2011, and will at that time, or prior thereto, consider: (a) the extent to which economies of scale can be realized, and (b) whether the advisory fee should be modified to reflect such economies of scale, if any.
