The Fund is a fund of funds that, under normal market conditions, seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing primarily in a combination of five underlying index funds:

Fund	Target Allocation
AZL Enhanced Bond Index Fund	50%
AZL S&P 500 Index Fund	31%
AZL International Index Fund	14%
AZL Mid Cap Index Fund	3%
AZL Small Cap Stock Index Fund	2%

The AZL Enhanced Bond Index Fund is a bond index fund, subadvised by BlackRock Financial Management, Inc.; the other four underlying funds are equity index funds, subadvised by BlackRock Investment Management, LLC. Under normal market conditions, the Fund will allocate approximately 50% of its assets in the underlying equity index funds and approximately 50% of its assets in the underlying bond index fund. 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 actual fund allocations to target using the cash flows that result from contract holders 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’s actual asset allocations to the targets. Generally, the actual allocations will not be more than 10% above or below the targets.

The AZL Enhanced Bond Index Fund under normal circumstances invests in a combination of securities with an overall weighting close to the capitalization weights of the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (the “Index”). Under normal market conditions, the Fund 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, the Fund 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 S&P 500 Index Fund under normal circumstances invests at least 80% of the value of its net assets in the securities of or in a statistically selected sampling of the securities of companies included in the S&P 500^® Index or in derivative instruments linked to that Index.

The AZL Mid Cap Index Fund under normal circumstances invests at least 80% of the value of its net assets in a statistically selected sampling of equity securities of companies included in the S&P MidCap 400 Index and in derivative instruments linked to the S&P MidCap 400 Index, primarily futures contracts.

The AZL Small Cap Stock Index Fund under normal market conditions invests at least 80% of its assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in investments of small-capitalization companies, which for this purpose are companies with market capitalizations (the total market value of a company’s outstanding stock) at the time of purchase included in the S&P SmallCap 600 Index.

The AZL International Index Fund under normal circumstances invests at least 80% of the value of its net assets in a statistically selected sampling of equity securities of companies included in the MSCI EAFE Index and in derivative instruments linked to the MSCI EAFE Index, primarily futures contracts.

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 will be available for the MVP risk management process, which utilizes investment strategies involving equity and/or fixed income futures, such as S&P 500 Index futures and U.S. Treasury futures, which generally are liquid and will target equity and bond exposure similar to the underlying funds. This 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.

Under normal market conditions, the underlying fund seeks to achieve its objective by investing in a combination of two strategies. Approximately 60% of the underlying fund’s assets will be invested primarily in investment-grade debt securities (the “Fixed-Income Strategy”), and approximately

40% of the underlying fund’s assets will be invested primarily in large cap common stocks (the “Equity Strategy”). The percentage allocations to each strategy will be monitored regularly by the underlying fund’s Manager, but generally will not exceed plus or minus 3% of the 60%/40% allocation.

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

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 will be available for the MVP risk management process, which utilizes investment strategies involving equity and/or fixed income futures, such as S&P 500 Index futures and U.S. Treasury futures, which generally are liquid and will target equity and bond exposure similar to the underlying funds. This 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 8% 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 fund. 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.

The Underlying Fund’s Fixed-Income Strategy

Under normal market conditions, the strategy will invest at least 80% of its assets in debt securities of all types and repurchase agreements for those securities. Such investments include corporate bonds, U.S. Treasury obligations, U.S. government agency mortgage securities and real estate investment trusts. A portion of the investments may not be publicly traded. The Subadviser uses the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index as a guide in structuring the strategy and selecting its investments and manages the strategy to have similar overall interest rate risk to the index. The Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index is a broad-based benchmark that measures the investment grade, U.S. dollar-denominated, fixed-rate taxable bond market. The index includes U.S. Treasury obligations, government-related and corporate securities, mortgage-backed securities (agency fixed-rate and hybrid ARM pass-throughs), asset-backed securities and commercial mortgage-backed securities (agency and non-agency).

The Subadviser considers other factors when selecting strategy investments, including the credit quality of the issuer, security-specific features and the Subadviser’s assessment of whether the investment is undervalued. In managing the strategy’s exposure to various risks, including interest rate risk, the Subadviser considers, among other things, the market’s overall risk characteristics, the market’s current pricing of those risks, and internal views of potential future market conditions.

The strategy’s assets may be allocated among different market sectors (for example, corporate, asset-backed, or government securities) and different maturities based on the Subadviser’s view of the relative value of each sector or maturity.

The strategy’s assets may be invested in securities of foreign issuers, including those located in emerging markets, denominated in U.S. dollars or in local currency, in addition to securities of domestic issuers.

The strategy may invest significantly in derivatives instruments, such as interest rate swaps, total return swaps, credit default swaps, and futures contracts (both long and short positions) on securities and indexes, and in forward-settling securities. Such investments may give rise to a form of leverage, particularly when the strategy does not own the assets,

instruments or components underlying the derivative instruments. Depending on the Subadviser’s outlook and market conditions, the strategy may invest in derivatives instruments in order to gain exposure to assets, instruments, or indexes, interest rates, or credit qualities.

The strategy also may invest up to 20% of its assets in lower-quality debt securities, sometimes called “junk bonds.”

To earn additional income for the strategy, the Subadviser may use a trading strategy that involves selling (or buying) mortgage securities and simultaneously agreeing to purchase (or sell) mortgage securities on a later date at a set price. This trading strategy may increase interest rate exposure and result in an increased portfolio turnover rate which increases transaction costs.

The Underlying Fund’s Equity Strategy

Under normal market conditions, the strategy will invest at least 80% of its assets in common stocks included in the S&P 500^® Index. The S&P 500^® Index is a market capitalization-weighted index of 500 common stocks chosen for market size, liquidity, and industry group representation to represent U.S. equity performance.A company’s market capitalization is based on its current market capitalization or its market capitalization at the time of the fund’s investment. Companies whose capitalization falls below this level after purchase continue to be considered to have a large market capitalization. The size of the companies in an index changes with market conditions and the composition of the index.In buying and selling securities for the strategy, the Subadviser seeks to outperform the S&P 500^® Index by, in general, utilizing a research-driven approach identifying long-term drivers of stock returns that may include, but are not limited to valuation, growth, quality, and other factors. The research is systemically applied alongside a proprietary portfolio construction and risk management framework to select a broadly diversified group of stocks. The process seeks to maximize the return opportunity while managing benchmark relative risks. The portfolio managers will generally attempt to overweight securities with positive characteristics identified in the evaluation process and underweight securities with negative characteristics.The Subadviser also considers the fund’s security, industry, and market capitalization weightings relative to the S&P 500^® Index when selecting securities for the strategy.The Subadviser may also invest in securities of issuers that are not part of the S&P 500^® Index.The Subadviser may also use various techniques, such as buying and selling futures contracts and swaps, to increase or decrease the strategy’s exposure to changing security prices or other factors that affect security values.If the Subadviser’s strategies do not work as intended, the fund may not achieve its objective.

Strategy Narrative [Text Block]

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

Fund	Target Allocation
AZL T. Rowe Price Capital Appreciation Fund	50%
AZL S&P 500 Index Fund	27%
AZL Enhanced Bond Index Fund	18%

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 “Plus” within the Fund’s name refers to the combination of the underlying AZL T. Rowe Price Capital Appreciation Fund with complementary exposure to the two underlying index funds that seeks to provide the Fund with a broad and diverse exposure across both equity and fixed income markets.

The AZL T. Rowe Price Capital Appreciation Fund, which is subadvised by T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc., and sub-subadvised by T. Rowe Price Investment Management, Inc. (together, the “Subadviser”), seeks long term capital appreciation with preservation of capital as an important intermediate-term objective. The underlying fund normally invests at least 50% of its total assets in stocks. The remaining assets are generally invested in corporate and government debt, mortgage- and asset-backed securities, and bank loans (which represent an interest in amounts owed by a borrower to a syndicate of lenders). The fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets in foreign securities.

The AZL S&P 500 Index Fund, which is subadvised by BlackRock Investment Management, LLC, seeks to match the total return of the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index. Under normal circumstances, it invests at least 80% of the value of its net assets in the securities of or in a statistically selected sampling of the securities of companies included in the S&P 500 Index or in derivative instruments linked to that Index.

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. Under normal market conditions, the Fund 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, the Fund 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.

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 will be available for the MVP risk management process, which utilizes investment strategies involving equity and/or fixed income futures, such as S&P 500 Index futures and U.S. Treasury futures, which generally are liquid and will target equity and bond exposure similar to the underlying funds. This 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 12% 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.
