 Investment Objective

The Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation with preservation of capital as an important consideration.

 Fees and Expenses   Fees and Expenses of the Fund

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

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

Annual Fund Operating Expenses	AZL MVP Global Balanced Index Strategy Fund AZL MVP Global Balanced Index Strategy Fund
Management Fee	0.10%
Other Expenses	0.04%
Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses	0.61%	[1]
Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses	0.75%

Example

This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year, that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same, and that you reinvest all dividends and distributions. It does not reflect any Contract fees. If Contract fees were included, the costs shown would be higher. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

Expense Example	1 Year	3 Years	5 Years	10 Years
AZL MVP Global Balanced Index Strategy Fund | AZL MVP Global Balanced Index Strategy Fund | USD ($)	77	240	417	930

Portfolio Turnover

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 3% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategies of the Fund

The Fund is a fund of funds that, under normal market conditions, seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing approximately 95% of its assets in a combination of two underlying funds:

Fund	Target Allocation
AZL MSCI Global Equity Index Fund	47.5%
AZL Enhanced Bond Index Fund	47.5%

In addition, under normal market conditions, the Fund will allocate approximately 5% of its assets to the MVP risk management process, described below.

These target allocations represent the Fund’s long-term strategic asset allocation, which is not expected to change under normal market conditions. The investment results of the underlying funds will vary. As a result, the Manager monitors the actual allocations to the underlying funds daily and periodically adjusts the actual allocations to attempt to achieve the target allocation. Generally, the Manager will seek to maintain the underlying fund target allocations using the cash flows that result from shareholders buying or selling shares in the Fund. However, if cash flows were insufficient to maintain the

target allocations, the Manager would then buy or sell underlying funds as necessary to attempt to return the Fund to the target allocations. Generally, the actual allocations will not be more than 10% above or below the targets.

The AZL Enhanced Bond Index Fund, which is subadvised by BlackRock Financial Management, Inc., seeks to exceed the total return of the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (the “Index”). Under normal market conditions, it invests at least 80% of its net assets in investment-grade debt securities (those of medium and high quality) of all types and repurchase agreements for those securities. Further, under normal circumstances, it invests at least 80% of the value of its net assets in securities or other financial instruments that are components of or have economic characteristics similar to the securities included in the Index. The subadviser of the AZL Enhanced Bond Index Fund uses the Index as a guide in structuring the Fund and selecting its investments and manages the Fund to have similar overall interest rate risk to the Index, with the investment objective of seeking to exceed the total return of the Index.

The AZL MSCI Global Equity Index Fund, which is subadvised by BlackRock Investment Management, LLC, seeks to match the performance of the MSCI World Index as closely as possible. Under normal circumstances, it generally invests at least 90% of its assets, plus the amount of any borrowing for investment purposes, in securities of its underlying index and in depositary receipts representing securities of its underlying index.

Under normal market conditions, the Fund will allocate approximately 95% of its assets to the underlying funds described above, and approximately 5% of the Fund’s assets may be invested in equity and/or fixed income futures, such as S&P 500 Index futures and U.S. Treasury futures, which generally are liquid.

The futures strategy, called the MVP risk management process, involves a quantitative analysis and seeks to reduce the volatility of the Fund. Volatility refers to the amount by which the price of an investment can change over a period of time. High volatility indicates that the price has changed significantly, up or down, over a short time period; lower volatility indicates that the price is not changing dramatically, but at a steady pace over a period of time. Generally, higher volatility is considered to be more risky.

The goal of the MVP process is to achieve Fund volatility at or below 10% on an annualized basis over a full business cycle by either increasing or decreasing the exposure to equities over time. The Fund seeks to accomplish this primarily by selling equity index futures when markets experience heightened volatility, and by buying equity index futures when markets experience normal or lower levels of volatility. Futures are intended to provide the Manager an effective method to reduce volatility of the Fund and limit the need to decrease or increase allocations to the underlying funds. As a result, the MVP process could cause the equity exposure of the Fund to fluctuate significantly but it will generally not be lower than 10%. The MVP process would generally not reduce equity exposure during periods of moderate and low market volatility but during periods of extreme market volatility the MVP process could result in Fund equity exposure that is significantly lower than 10%.

Due to market conditions or other factors, the actual or realized volatility of the Fund for any particular period of time may be materially higher than the threshold volatility level. The Fund’s threshold volatility level is not a total return performance target. It is possible for the Fund to maintain its volatility at or under its threshold volatility level while having negative performance returns.

Principal Risks of Investing in the Fund

Performance Information

The following bar chart and table provide an indication of the risks of an investment in the Fund by showing changes in its performance from year to year and by showing how the Fund’s average annual returns for one year, five years and ten years compare with those of a broad-based measure of market performance, the MSCI World Index. The Fund’s performance also is compared to the returns of the the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index and the Global Balanced Composite Index, which are relevant to the Fund because they have characteristics similar to the Fund’s investment strategies. The Global Balanced Composite Index is composed of the MSCI World Index (50%) and Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (50%).

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

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