Dear Anchor Series Trust Investor:

We are pleased to present our annual report for the Anchor Series Trust, the underlying investment portfolios for the series of variable products issued by our Life Companies.

The following report contains the investment portfolio information and the financial statements of the Anchor Series Trust portfolios for the reporting period ended December 31, 2013. The report may also contain information on portfolios not currently available in your variable contract.

We believe this information will give you some insight into the performance of your underlying investments. If you have any questions, please contact your investment representative, or you may contact us directly at 1-800-445-7862.

Thank you for the confidence you place in us with your financial future, and we look forward to reporting to you once again in six months.

Sincerely,

 

LOGO

John T. Genoy

President

Anchor Series Trust, SunAmerica Series Trust and Seasons Series Trust

February 3, 2014

 

 

Note: All performance figures quoted are for the Anchor Series Trust. They do not reflect fees and charges associated with the variable annuity. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Annuities are long-term investment vehicles designed for retirement purposes. Early withdrawal may be subject to withdrawal charges and if taken prior to age 59 1/2, an additional 10% federal tax may apply. An investment in a variable annuity involves investment risk, including possible loss of principal. The contract, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the total amount invested.

Investments in stocks and bonds are subject to risks, including stock market and interest rate fluctuations. Investments in growth stocks as well as small and mid-cap company stocks may be subject to volatile price swings and therefore present a greater potential for loss than other investments. Investments in non-U.S. stocks and bonds are subject to additional risks such as fluctuations in foreign currencies, political and economic instability, differences in securities regulation and accounting standards, foreign tax laws, and limited availability of public information. Income seeking investment strategies may not be realized due to changes in dividend policies or the availability of capital resources.

Investments that concentrate on one economic sector or geographic region are generally subject to greater volatility than more diverse investments. Investments in real estate investment trusts (REITs) involve risks such as refinancing, economic conditions in the real estate industry, changes in property values, dependency on real estate management, and other risks associated with a concentration in one sector or geographic region. Investments in securities related to gold and other precious metals and minerals are speculative and impacted by a host of worldwide economic, financial and political factors.

Investments in debt securities are subject to credit risk (i.e., the risk that an issuer might not pay interest when due or repay principal at maturity of the obligation). Investments in lower-rated bonds and “junk bonds” are considered speculative due to the heightened risk of default and are subject to unpredictable losses as a result of changes in the issuer’s creditworthiness.

See reverse side for additional information.

Investments in derivatives are subject to heightened risk; gains or losses from non-hedging positions may be substantially greater than the cost of the position. Active trading may result in high portfolio turnover and correspondingly greater transaction costs for the portfolio and underlying portfolios.

There can be no assurance that the Portfolios will meet their investment objectives. A full description of the investment goals, principal strategies, and risks for each Portfolio are provided in the prospectus. Investments are not guaranteed or endorsed by any bank, is not a deposit or obligation of any bank, and is not federally insured by Federal Deposit Corporation (FDIC), the Federal Reserve Board or any other federal government agency.

• Not FDIC or NCUA/NCUSIF Insured

• May Lose Value • No Bank of Credit Union Guarantee

• Not a Deposit • Not insured by any Federal Government Agency

EXPENSE EXAMPLE

Disclosure of Portfolio Expenses in Shareholder Reports

As a shareholder of a Portfolio in the Anchor Series Trust (the “Trust”), you incur ongoing costs, including management fees and/or service (12b-1) fees; and other Portfolio expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Portfolios and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at July 1, 2013 and held until December 31, 2013. Shares of the Trust are not offered directly to the public. Instead, shares are currently issued and redeemed only in connection with investments in and payments under variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies (“Variable Contracts”) offered by life insurance companies affiliated with SunAmerica Asset Management, LLC*, the Trust’s investment adviser and manager, as well as non-affiliated life insurance companies. The fees and expenses associated with the Variable Contracts are not included in these Examples, and had such fees and expenses been included, your costs would have been higher. Please see your variable contract prospectus for more details on the fees associated with the Variable Contract.

Actual Expenses

The “Actual” section of the table provides information about your actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in these columns, 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 column under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During the Period Ended December 31, 2013” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. The “Expenses Paid During the Period Ended December 31, 2013” column and the “Expense Ratio as of December 31, 2013” column do not include fees and expenses that may be charged by the Variable Contracts, in which the Portfolios are offered. Had these fees and expenses been included, the “Expenses Paid During the Period Ended December 31, 2013” would have been higher and the “Ending Account Value” would have been lower.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The “Hypothetical” section of the table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Portfolio’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Portfolio’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 the ongoing costs of investing in the Portfolios and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds. The “Expenses Paid During the Period Ended December 31, 2013” column and the “Expense Ratio as of December 31, 2013” column do not include fees and expenses that may be charged by the Variable Contracts, in which the Portfolios are offered. Had these fees and expenses been included, the “Expenses Paid During the Period Ended December 31, 2013” would have been higher and the “Ending Account Value” would have been lower.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any fees and expenses that may be charged by the Variable Contracts. Please refer to your variable contract prospectus for more information. Therefore, the “Hypothetical” example 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 fees and expenses were included, your costs would have been higher.

* Expenses are equal to the Portfolio’s annualized expense ratio multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184 days in the period divided by 365. These ratios do not reflect fees and expenses associated with the Variable Contracts. If such fees and expenses had been included, the expenses would have been higher. Please refer to your Variable Contract prospectus for details on the expenses that apply to the Variable Contracts of the insurance companies.
# During the stated period, the investment adviser either waived a portion of or all fees and assumed a portion of or all expenses for the Portfolios or through recoupment provisions, recovered a portion of or all fees and expenses waived or reimbursed in the previous two fiscal years. As a result, if these fees and expenses had not been waived or assumed, the “Actual/Hypothetical Ending Account Value” would have been lower and the “Actual/Hypothetical Expenses Paid During the Period Ended December 31, 2013” and “Expense Ratios” would have been higher. If these fees and expenses had not been recouped, the “Actual/Hypothetical Ending Account Value” would have been higher and the “Actual/Hypothetical Expenses Paid During the Period Ended December 31, 2013” and the “Expense Ratios” would have been lower.

  Non-income producing security
*   Securities exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933. These securities may be sold in transactions exempt from registration, normally to qualified institutional buyers. The Portfolio has no right to demand registration of these securities. At December 31, 2013, the aggregate value of these securities was $11,753,584 representing 5.1% of net assets. Unless otherwise indicated these securities are not considered to be illiquid.
(1)   Fair valued security. Securities are classified as Level 2 based on the securities valuation inputs; see Note 2.
(2)   Perpetual maturity—maturity date reflects the next call date.
(3)   “Step-up” security where the rate increases (“steps-up”) at a predetermined rate. The rate reflected is as of December 31, 2013.
(4)   Commercial Mortgage Backed Security
(5)   Collateralized Mortgage Obligation

 

(6)   Fair valued security. Securities are classified as Level 3 based on the securities valuation inputs; see Note 2.
(7)   Illiquid Security. At December 31, 2013, the aggregate value of these securities was $13 representing 0.0% of net assets.
(8)   Interest Only
(9)   Inverse Floating Rate Security that pays interest that varies inversely to changes in the market interest rates. The interest rate shown is the current interest rate at December 31, 2013.
(10)   The Portfolio invests in senior loans which generally pay interest at rates which are periodically re-determined by reference to a base lending rate plus a premium. These base lending rates are generally either the lending rate offered by one or more major European banks, such as the London Inter-Bank Offer Bank (“LIBOR”) or the prime rate offered by one or more major United States banks, or the certificate of deposit rate. Senior loans are generally considered to be restrictive in that the Portfolio is ordinarily contractually obligated to receive approval from the Agent Bank and/or borrower prior to the disposition of a senior loan.
(11)   Senior loans in the Portfolio are generally subject to mandatory and/or optional prepayment. Because of these mandatory prepayment conditions and because there may be significant economic incentives for a borrower to prepay, prepayments may occur. As a result, the actual remaining maturity may be substantially less than the stated maturities shown.
(12)   See Note 6 for cost of investments on a tax basis.

REMIC — Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduit

  on sales by operation of applicable law. Restricted securities are valued pursuant to Note 2. Certain restricted securities held by the Portfolio may not be sold except in exempt transactions or in a public offering registered under the 1933 Act. The Portfolio has no right to demand registration of these securities. The risk of investing in certain restricted securities is greater than the risk of investing in the securities of widely held, publicly traded companies. To the extent applicable, lack of a secondary market and resale restrictions may result in the inability of a Portfolio to sell a security at a fair price and may substantially delay the sale of the security. In addition, certain restricted securities may exhibit greater price volatility than securities for which secondary markets exist. As of December 31, 2013, the Capital Appreciation Portfolio held the following restricted securities:

@   Other financial instruments are derivative instruments not reflected in the Portfolio of Investments, such as futures, forwards, swap and written options contracts, which are valued at the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on the instrument.

The Portfolio’s policy is to recognize transfers between Levels as of the end of the reporting period. Securities held at the beginning of the period currently valued at $1,645,407 were transferred from Level 2 to Level 1 due to foreign equity securities whose values were previously adjusted for fair value pricing procedures for foreign equity securities. There were no additional transfers between Levels during the reporting period.

At the beginning of the reporting period, Level 3 investments in securities were not considered a material portion of the Portfolio. There were no Level 3 investments at the end of the reporting period.

ANCHOR SERIES TRUST

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2013

 

Note 1.  Organization

Anchor Series Trust (the “Trust”), organized as a business trust under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts on August 26, 1983, is an open-end management investment company and consists of 8 separate series or portfolios (each, a “Portfolio” and collectively, the “Portfolios”). The Portfolios are managed by SunAmerica Asset Management, LLC (formerly SunAmerica Asset Management Corp.*) (“SAAMCo” or the “Adviser”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of American International Group, Inc. (“AIG”). Shares of the Trust are issued and redeemed only in connection with investments in and payments under variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies (the “Variable Contracts”) of American General Life Insurance Company and The United States Life Insurance Company in the City of New York, each an affiliated insurance company of SAAMCo; and variable contracts issued by Phoenix Life Insurance Company, an unaffiliated life insurance company of SAAMCo. The life insurance companies listed above are collectively referred to as the “Life Companies.” All shares of the Trust are owned by “separate accounts” of the Life Companies. The Trust issues separate series of shares (the “Portfolios”), each of which represents a separate managed Portfolio of securities with its own investment goal. All shares may be purchased or redeemed at net asset value without any sales or redemption charge.

Class 1 shares, Class 2 shares and Class 3 shares of each Portfolio may be offered in connection with certain Variable Contracts. Class 2 and Class 3 shares of a given Portfolio are identical in all respects to Class 1 shares of the same Portfolio, except that (i) each class may bear differing amounts of certain class-specific expenses, (ii) Class 2 and Class 3 shares are subject to service fees, while Class 1 shares are not, and (iii) Class 2 and Class 3 shares have voting rights on matters that pertain to the Rule 12b-1 plan adopted with respect to Class 2 and Class 3 shares. Class 2 and Class 3 shares of each Portfolio pay service fees at an annual rate of 0.15% and 0.25%, respectively, of each class’ average daily net assets.

The investment goal for each Portfolio is as follows:

The Government and Quality Bond Portfolio seeks relatively high current income, liquidity and security of principal by investing, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of net assets in obligations issued, guaranteed or insured by the U.S. government, its agencies or instrumentalities and in high quality corporate fixed income securities (rated AA– or better by Standard & Poor’s Corporation or Aa3 or better by Moody’s Investor Services, Inc.). “Net Assets” will take into account borrowing for investment purposes.

The Asset Allocation Portfolio seeks high total return (including income and capital gains) consistent with long-term preservation of capital by investing in a diversified portfolio that may include common stocks and other securities with common stock characteristics, bonds and other intermediate and long-term fixed income securities and money market instruments.

The Growth and Income Portfolio seeks to provide long-term capital appreciation and high current income by investing at least 65% of total assets in core equity securities. “Core Equity Securities” are stocks, primarily of well-established companies, diversified by industry and company type that are selected based on their predictable or anticipated earnings growth and best relative value.

The Growth Portfolio seeks capital appreciation primarily through investments in core equity securities that are widely diversified by industry and company.

The Capital Appreciation Portfolio seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in growth equity securities across a wide range of industries and companies, using a wide-ranging and flexible stock selection approach.

The Natural Resources Portfolio seeks a total return, in excess of the U.S. rate of inflation as represented by the Consumer Price Index through investments primarily in equity securities of U.S. or foreign companies that are expected to provide favorable returns in periods of rising inflation, using a value-style investment approach. Under normal market circumstances, at least 80% of net assets are invested in securities related to natural resources, such as energy, metals, mining and forest products.

The Multi-Asset Portfolio seeks long-term total investment return consistent with moderate investment risk by actively allocating the Portfolio’s assets among equity securities, investment grade fixed income securities and cash.

The Strategic Multi-Asset Portfolio seeks high long-term total investment return by actively allocating the Portfolio’s assets among equity securities of U.S. and foreign companies, large, medium and small company equity securities, global fixed income securities (including high-yield, high-risk bonds) and cash.

Indemnifications: The Trust’s organizational documents provide officers and trustees with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. In addition, pursuant to Indemnification Agreements between the Trust and

each of the current trustees who is not an “interested person,” as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), of the Trust (collectively, the “Disinterested Trustees”), the Trust provides the Disinterested Trustees with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust, whether such liabilities are asserted during or after their service as trustees. In addition, in the normal course of business the Trust enters into contracts that contain the obligation to indemnify others. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. Currently, however, the Trust expects the risk of loss to be remote.

Note 2.  Significant Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates and those differences could be significant. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements:

Security Valuation

In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures under GAAP, the Portfolios disclose the fair value of their investments in a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure the fair value. In accordance with GAAP, fair value is defined as the price that the Portfolios would receive upon selling an asset or transferring a liability in a timely transaction to an independent third party in the principal or most advantageous market. GAAP established a three-tier hierarchy to provide more transparency around the inputs used to measure fair value and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk. Inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The three-tiers are as follows:

Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

Level 2 — Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, referenced indices, quoted prices in inactive markets, adjusted quoted prices in active markets, adjusted quoted prices on foreign equity securities that were adjusted in accordance with pricing procedures approved by the Board of Trustees (“the Board”) , etc.).

Level 3 — Significant unobservable inputs (includes inputs that reflect the Portfolios’ own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the security, developed based on the best information available under the circumstances.)

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned Level within the hierarchy. The methodology used for valuing investments is not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those investments and the determination of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and consideration of factors specific to each security.

The availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of security, whether the security is recently issued and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to the security. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3.

The summary of inputs used to value the Portfolios’ net assets as of December 31, 2013 are reported on a schedule following the Portfolio of Investments.

Stocks are generally valued based upon closing sales prices reported on recognized securities exchanges on which the securities are principally traded and are generally categorized as Level 1. Stocks listed on the NASDAQ are valued using the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (“NOCP”). Generally, the NOCP will be the last sale price unless the reported trade for the stock is outside the range of the bid/ask price. In such cases, the NOCP will be normalized to the nearer of the bid or ask price. For listed securities having no sales reported and for unlisted securities, such securities will be valued based upon the last reported bid price.

As of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), securities traded primarily on security exchanges outside the United States are valued at the last sale price on such exchanges on the day of valuation, or if there is no sale on the day of valuation, at the last-reported bid price. If a security’s price is available from more than one exchange, the Portfolios use the exchange that is the primary market for the security. Such securities are generally categorized as Level 1. However, depending on the foreign market, closing prices may be up to 15 hours old when they are used to price the Portfolio’s shares, and the Portfolio may determine that certain closing prices do not reflect the fair value of the security. This determination will be based on review of a number of factors, including developments in foreign markets, the performance of U.S. securities markets, and the performance of instruments trading in U.S. markets that represent foreign securities and baskets of foreign securities. If a Portfolio determines that closing prices do not reflect the fair value of the securities, the Portfolio will adjust the previous closing prices in accordance with pricing procedures approved by the Board to reflect what it believes to be the fair value of the securities as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE. The Portfolios

may also fair value securities in other situations, for example, when a particular foreign market is closed but a Portfolio is open. For foreign equity securities and foreign equity futures contracts, the Portfolios use an outside pricing service to provide it with closing market prices and information used for adjusting those prices, and when so adjusted, such securities and futures are generally categorized as Level 2.

Bonds and debentures, other long-term debt securities, and short term debt securities with maturities in excess of 60 days, are valued at bid prices obtained for the day of valuation from a bond pricing service, when such prices are available and are generally categorized as Level 2. The pricing services may use valuation models or matrix pricing which considers information with respect to comparable bond and note transactions, quotations from bond dealers, or by reference to other securities that are considered comparable in such characteristics as rating, interest rate, and maturity date, option adjusted spreads models, prepayments projections, interest rate spreads, and yield curves to determine current value. If a vendor quote is unavailable, the securities may be priced at the mean of two independent quotes obtained from brokers.

Short-term securities with 60 days or less to maturity are amortized to maturity based on their cost to the Portfolio if acquired within 60 days of maturity or, if already held by the Portfolio on the 60th day, are amortized to maturity based on the value determined on the 61st day, and are generally categorized as Level 2.

Senior secured floating rate loans (“Loans”) for which an active secondary market exists to a reliable degree, will be valued at the mean of the last available bid and ask prices in the market for such Loans, as provided by a third party pricing service, and are generally categorized as Level 2.

Investments in registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end of day net asset value per share. Investments in registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security is principally traded. Registered investment companies are generally categorized as Level 1.

Futures contracts traded on national securities exchanges are valued at the quoted daily settlement price established by the exchange on which they trade and are generally categorized as Level 1. Options traded on national securities exchanges are valued as of the close of the exchange upon which they trade and are generally categorized as Level 1. Options and swap contracts traded on over-the-counter markets are marked-to-market daily based upon quotations received from an approved outside pricing service or market makers and are generally categorized as Level 2. Forward foreign currency contracts (“forward contracts”) are valued at the 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time forward rate and are generally categorized as Level 2.

Other securities are valued on the basis of last sale or bid price (if a last sale price is not available) which is, in the opinion of the Adviser, the broadest and most representative market, that may be either a securities exchange or over-the-counter market and are generally categorized as Level 1 or Level 2.

The Board is responsible for the share valuation process and has adopted policies and procedures (the “PRC Procedures”) for valuing the securities and other assets held by the Portfolios, including procedures for the fair valuation of securities and other assets for which market quotations are not readily available or are unreliable. The PRC Procedures provide for the establishment of a pricing review committee, which is responsible for, among other things, making certain determinations in connection with the Trust’s fair valuation procedures. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or the values of which may be significantly impacted by the occurrence of developments or significant events are generally categorized as Level 3. There is no single standard for making fair value determinations, which may result in prices that vary from those of other funds.

Derivative Instruments:

Forward Foreign Currency Contracts: Certain Portfolios may enter into forward contracts for various purposes, including to facilitate settlement of foreign currency denominated Portfolio transactions, to attempt to protect securities and related receivables and payables against changes in future foreign exchange rates, to hedge portfolio exposure to benchmark currency allocations, to manage and/or gain exposure to certain foreign currencies or to enhance total return. During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Strategic Multi-Asset Portfolio used forward contracts to attempt to protect securities and related receivables and payables against changes in future foreign exchange rates and to enhance total return. As of December 31, 2013, the Strategic Multi-Asset Portfolio had open forward contracts, which are reported on a schedule following the Portfolio’s Portfolio of Investments.

A forward contract is an agreement between two parties to buy or sell currency at a set price on a future date. The market value of the contract will fluctuate with changes in currency exchange rates. The contract is marked-to-market daily using the forward rate and the cumulative change in market value is recorded by the Portfolio as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. On the settlement date, the Portfolio records either realized gains or losses equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.

Risks to the Portfolios of entering into forward contracts include counterparty risk, market risk and illiquidity risk. Counterparty risk arises upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts. If the counterparty defaults, the Portfolio’s loss will generally consist of the net amount of contractual payments that the Portfolio has not yet received though the Portfolio’s maximum risk due to counterparty risk could extend to the notional amount of the contract. Market risk is the risk that the value of the forward contract will depreciate due to unfavorable changes in the exchange rates. These contracts may

Table of Contents

involve market risk in excess of the unrealized appreciation or depreciation reported on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Illiquidity risk arises because the secondary market for forwards may have less liquidity relative to markets for other securities. Currency transactions are also subject to risks different from those of other Portfolio transactions. Because currency control is of great importance to the issuing governments and influences economic planning and policy, purchases and sales of currency and related instruments can be adversely affected by government exchange controls, limitations or restrictions on repatriation of currency, and manipulations or exchange restrictions imposed by governments.

Futures: Certain of the Portfolios may enter into futures contracts for various purposes, including to increase or decrease exposure to equity or bond markets, to hedge against changes in interest rates, prices of stocks, bonds or other instruments, or currency rates, to manage duration and yield curve positioning, or to enhance income or total return. During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Multi-Asset and the Strategic Multi-Asset Portfolios used futures contracts to attempt to increase or decrease exposure to equity and bond markets and to manage duration and yield curve positioning. As of December 31, 2013, the following Portfolios had open futures contracts: Multi-Asset Portfolio and Strategic Multi-Asset Portfolio, which are reported on a schedule following each Portfolio’s Portfolio of Investments.

Common futures contracts include interest rate futures, single stock futures, stock index futures and currency futures. An interest rate futures contract is a contract to buy or sell specified debt securities at a future time for a fixed price. A single stock futures contract is a contract to buy a single stock at a future time for a fixed price. A stock index futures contract is similar in economic effect to a single stock futures contract, except that rather than being based on a specific security it is based on a specified index of stocks and not the stocks themselves. A currency futures contract is a contract to buy or sell a specific foreign currency at a future time for a fixed price.

A futures contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a financial instrument at a set price on a future date. Upon entering into a futures transaction, a Portfolio will be required to segregate an initial margin payment of cash or other liquid securities with the Futures Commission Merchant (the “broker”). Subsequent payments are made or received by the Portfolio as a result of changes in the value of the contract and/or changes in the value of the initial margin requirement. Such receipts or payments are recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as variation margin for changes in the value of the contracts and as due to/from broker for the changes in the value of the initial margin requirement. When a contract is closed, the Portfolios record a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.

The primary risk to the Portfolios of entering into futures contracts is market risk. Market risk is the risk that there will be an unfavorable change in the interest rate, value or currency rate of the underlying security(ies). Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of the variation margin disclosed on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. There may also be trading restrictions or limitations imposed by an exchange, and government regulations may restrict trading in futures contracts. While the Portfolios will generally only purchase exchange-traded futures, due to market conditions, there may not always be a liquid secondary market for a futures contract and, as a result, a Portfolio may be unable to close out its futures contracts at a time which is advantageous. In addition, if a Portfolio has insufficient cash to meet margin requirements, the Portfolio may need to sell other investments, including at disadvantageous times. There is generally minimal counterparty risk to the Portfolios since the futures contracts are generally exchange-traded.

At December 31, 2013, the amount shown in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as due from broker for the Multi-Asset Portfolio and the Strategic Multi-Asset Portfolio includes amounts set aside for margin requirements for open futures contracts.

Options: Certain Portfolios may enter into option contracts for various purposes, including to facilitate trading, increase or decrease a Portfolio’s market exposure, to seek higher investment returns, to seek protection against a decline in the value of a Portfolio’s securities or an increase in prices of securities that may be purchased, or to generate income. During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Capital Appreciation Portfolio used options contracts to seek protection against a decline in value of the Portfolio’s securities. As of December 31, 2013, the Capital Appreciation Portfolio had open options contracts.

An option is a contract conveying a right to buy or sell a financial instrument at a specified price during a stipulated period. When a Portfolio writes a call or a put option, it receives a premium which is equal to the current market value of the option written. The premiums on written options are recorded as a liability on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. If a Portfolio purchases a call or a put option, it pays a premium which reflects the current market value of the option and which is included on the Portfolio’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an investment. The option position is marked to market daily and its value fluctuates based upon the value of the underlying financial instrument, time to expiration, cost of borrowing funds, and volatility of the value of the underlying financial instrument. If an option which the Portfolio has written either expires on its stipulated expiration date, or if the Portfolio enters into a closing purchase transaction, the Portfolio realizes a gain (or loss if the cost of a closing purchase transaction exceeds the premium received when the option was written) without regard to any unrealized gain or loss on the underlying security, and the liability related to such options is extinguished. If a call option which the Portfolio has written is exercised, the Portfolio realizes a gain or loss from the sale of the underlying security and the proceeds from such sale are increased by the premium originally received. If a put option which the Portfolio has written is exercised, the amount of the premium originally received reduces the cost of the security which the Portfolio purchased upon exercise of the option. Options may be traded on a national securities exchange or in the over-the-counter (OTC) market.

Risks to the Portfolios of entering into option contracts include counterparty risk, market risk and, with respect to OTC options, illiquidity risk. Counterparty risk arises from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts. If the

 

 

 

  79


Table of Contents

counterparty defaults, the Portfolio’s loss will consist of the net amount of contractual payments that the Portfolio has not yet received. Market risk is the risk that there will be an unfavorable change in the value of the underlying securities. There is also the risk the Portfolio may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid market. In addition, unlisted options are not traded on an exchange and may not be as actively traded as listed options, making the valuation of such securities more difficult. An unlisted option also entails a greater risk that the party on the other side of the option transaction may default, which would make it impossible to close out an unlisted option position in some cases, and profits related to the transaction lost thereby. During the year ended December 31, 2013, none of the Portfolios had transactions in options written.

Master Agreements: Certain Portfolios that hold derivative instruments and other financial instruments may be a party to ISDA (International Swap and Derivatives Association, Inc.) Master Agreements or similar agreements (“Master Agreements”) with certain counterparties that govern such instruments. Master Agreements may contain provisions regarding, among other things, the parties’ general obligations, representations, agreements, collateral requirements, events of default and early termination. Collateral can be in the form of cash or securities as agreed to by the Portfolio and applicable counterparty. Collateral requirements are generally determined based on a Portfolio’s net position with each counterparty. Master Agreements may include certain provisions that require a Portfolio to post additional collateral upon the occurrence of certain events, such as when a Portfolio’s net assets fall below a specified level. In addition, Master Agreements typically specify certain standard termination events, such as failure of a party to pay or deliver, credit support defaults and other events of default. Termination events applicable to a Portfolio may also occur upon a decline in the Portfolio’s net assets below a specified level over a certain period of time. Additional termination events applicable to counterparties may occur upon a decline in counterparty’s long-term and short-term credit ratings below a specified level, or upon a decline in the ratings of a counterparty’s credit support provider. Upon the occurrence of a termination event, the other party may elect to terminate early and cause settlement of all instruments outstanding pursuant to a particular Master Agreement, including the payment of any losses and costs resulting from such early termination, as reasonably determined by the terminating party. Any decision by one or more of a Portfolio’s counterparties to elect early termination could cause the Portfolio to accelerate the payment of liabilities, which settlement amounts could be in excess of the amount of assets that are already posted as collateral. Typically the Master Agreement will permit a single net payment in the event of default. Note, however, that bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against the right of offset in bankruptcy, insolvency or other events. As a result, the early termination with respect to instruments subject to Master Agreements that are in a net liability position could be material to the Portfolio’s financial statements. See additional information on specific types of derivative instruments and other financial instruments as disclosed in the Notes to the Financial Statements. The Portfolios do not offset derivative assets and derivative liabilities that are subject to netting arrangements in the Statements of Asset and Liabilities.

Foreign Currency Translation: The books and records of the Portfolios are maintained in U.S. dollars. Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies and commitments under forward foreign currency contracts are translated into U.S. dollars based on the exchange rate of such currencies against U.S. dollars on the date of valuation.

The Portfolios do not isolate that portion of the results of operations arising as a result of changes in the foreign exchange rates from the changes in the market prices of securities held at the end of the year.

Similarly, the Portfolios do not isolate the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates from the changes in the market prices of portfolio securities sold during the year.

Realized foreign exchange gains and losses on other assets and liabilities and change in unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses on other assets and liabilities located in the Statements of Operations include realized foreign exchange gains and losses from currency gains or losses between the trade and the settlement dates of securities transactions, the difference between the amounts of interest, dividends and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Portfolios’ books and the U.S. dollar equivalent amounts actually received or paid and changes in the unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses relating to the other assets and liabilities arising as a result of changes in the exchange rates and realized gains and losses on forward foreign currency contracts.

Securities Transactions, Investment Income, Expenses, Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders: Security transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses on the sale of investments are calculated on the identified cost basis. For financial statement purposes, the Portfolios amortize all premiums and accrete all discounts on fixed income securities.

Interest income is accrued daily from settlement date except when collection is not expected. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date except for certain dividends from foreign securities, which are recorded as soon as the Trust is informed after the ex-dividend date. Paydown gains and losses on mortgage and asset-backed securities are recorded as components of interest income on the Statements of Operations.

Portfolios which earn foreign income and capital gains may be subject to foreign withholding taxes and capital gains taxes at various rates. Under applicable foreign law, a withholding of tax may be imposed on interest, dividends, and capital gains from the sale of foreign securities at various rates. India, Thailand, and certain other countries’ tax regulations require that taxes be paid on capital gains realized by the Portfolio.

Distributions received from the Portfolio‘s investments in U.S. real estate investment trusts (“REITS”) often include a “return of capital” which is recorded by the Portfolios as a reduction to the cost basis of the securities held.

Table of Contents

Net investment income, expenses other than class specific expenses, and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the relative net asset value of outstanding shares of each class of shares at the beginning of the day (after adjusting for current capital shares activity of the respective class).

Expenses common to all Portfolios, not directly related to individual Portfolios are allocated among the Portfolios based upon relative net assets or other appropriate allocation methods. In all other respects, expenses are charged to each Portfolio as incurred on a specific identification basis.

Dividends from net investment income and capital gain distributions, if any, are paid annually for all Portfolios. The Portfolios record dividends and distributions to their shareholders on the ex-dividend date.

The amount of dividends and distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains are determined and presented in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are either considered temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts at fiscal year end based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification. Net assets are not affected by these reclassifications.

Each Portfolio is considered a separate entity for tax purposes and intends to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, applicable to regulated investment companies and distribute all of its taxable income, including any net capital gains on investments, to its shareholders. Each Portfolio also intends to distribute sufficient net investment income and net capital gains, if any, so that each Portfolio will not be subject to excise tax on undistributed income and gains. Therefore, no federal income tax or excise tax provision is required.

Each Portfolio recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained, assuming examination by tax authorities. Management has analyzed each Portfolio’s tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions taken on returns filed for open tax years 2010 – 2012 or expected to be taken in each Portfolio’s 2013 tax return. The Portfolios are not aware of any tax provisions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next twelve months. The Portfolios file U.S. federal and certain state income tax returns. With few exceptions, the Portfolios are no longer subject to U.S. federal and state tax examinations by tax authorities for tax returns ending before 2010.

Repurchase Agreements: The Portfolios, along with other affiliated registered investment companies, pursuant to procedures adopted by the Board and applicable guidance from the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), may transfer uninvested cash balances into a single joint account, the daily aggregate balance of which is invested in one or more repurchase agreements collateralized by U.S. Treasury or federal agency obligations. In a repurchase agreement, the seller of a security agrees to repurchase the security at a mutually agreed-upon time and price, which reflects the effective rate of return for the term of the agreement. For repurchase agreements and joint repurchase agreements, the Trusts’ custodian takes possession of the collateral pledged for investments in such repurchase agreements (“repo” or collectively “repos”). The underlying collateral is valued daily on a mark to market basis, plus accrued interest to ensure that the value, at the time the agreement is entered into, is equal to at least 102% of the repurchase price, including accrued interest. In the event of default of the obligation to repurchase, the Portfolio has the right to liquidate the collateral and apply the proceeds in satisfaction of the obligation. If the seller defaults and the value of the collateral declines or if bankruptcy proceedings are commenced with respect to the seller of the security, realization of the collateral by the Trust may be delayed or limited.

Mortgage-Backed Dollar Rolls: During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Government and Quality Bond Portfolio and Multi-Asset Portfolio entered into dollar rolls using “to be announced” (“TBA”) mortgage-backed securities (“TBA Rolls”). Roll transactions involve the sale of mortgage or other asset backed securities with the commitment to purchase substantially similar securities on a specified future date. The Portfolio’ policy is to record the components of TBA Rolls as purchase/sale transactions. Any difference between the purchase and sale price is recorded as a realized gain or loss on the date the transaction is entered into. The Government and Quality Bond Portfolio and Multi-Asset Portfolio had TBA Rolls outstanding at period end, which are included in receivable for investments sold and payable for investments purchased in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Dollar roll transactions involve the risk that the market value of the securities held by the Portfolio may decline below the price of the securities that the Portfolio has sold but is obligated to repurchase under the agreement. In the event that the buyer of securities in a dollar roll transaction files bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, the Portfolio‘s use of the proceeds from the sale of the securities may be restricted pending a determination by the other party, or its trustee or receiver, whether to enforce the Portfolio‘s obligation to repurchase the securities. The return earned by the Portfolio with the proceeds of the dollar roll transaction may not exceed the transaction costs. For the year ended December 31, 2013, the Government and Quality Bond Portfolio and Multi-Asset Portfolio had realized gains (losses) from mortgage-backed dollar rolls of $(2,596,576) and $(500), respectively.

When-Issued Securities and Forward Commitments: The Portfolios may purchase or sell when-issued securities, including TBA securities that have been authorized, but not yet issued in the market. In addition, a Portfolio may purchase or sell securities on a forward commitment basis. A forward commitment involves entering into a contract to purchase or sell securities, typically on an extended settlement basis, for a fixed price at a future date. The Portfolios may engage in when-issued or forward commitment transactions in order to secure what is considered to be an advantageous price and yield at the time of entering into the obligation. The purchase of securities on a when-issued or forward commitment basis involves a risk of loss if the value of the security to be purchased declines before the settlement date. Conversely, the sale of securities on a when- issued or forward commitment basis involves the risk that the value of the securities sold may increase before the settlement date. For the year ended December 31, 2013, the Government and Quality Bond Portfolio and Multi-Asset Portfolio purchased and/or sold when-issued securities and/or sold forward commitments.

New Accounting Pronouncements: In December 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-11, “Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities”, which was subsequently clarified in ASU 2013-01 “Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities” which was issued in January 2013. The amended Standard requires an entity to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements to enable users of its financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on its financial position. The new and revised disclosures are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. All required changes to accounting policies have been made in accordance with ASU No. 2011-11 and 2013-01.

Note 3.  Investment Advisory Agreement and Other Transactions with Affiliates

The Trust has entered into an Investment Advisory and Management Agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with SAAMCo, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of AIG with respect to each Portfolio. SAAMCo serves as manager for each of the Portfolios. The Management Agreement provides that SAAMCo shall act as investment adviser to the Trust; manage the Trust’s investments; administer its business affairs; furnish offices, necessary facilities and equipment; provide clerical, bookkeeping and administrative services; and permit any of its officers or employees to serve, without compensation, as trustees or officers of the Trust, if duly elected to such positions.

Wellington Management and EDGE are independent of SAAMCo and discharge their responsibilities subject to the policies of the Trustees and oversight and supervision of SAAMCo, which pays Wellington Management and EDGE fees out of advisory fees it receives from the Portfolios.

For the year ended December 31, 2013, SAAMCo accrued fees of $22,195,026 from the Trust, of which SAAMCo informed the Trust that $15,277,571 was retained and $6,917,455 was paid to Wellington Management and EDGE, collectively.

Class 2 and Class 3 shares of each Portfolio are subject to a Rule 12b-1 plan that provides for service fees payable at the annual rate of 0.15% and 0.25%, respectively of the average daily net assets of such Class 2 and Class 3 shares. The service fees will be used to compensate the Life Companies for expenditures made to financial intermediaries for providing services to contract holders who are the indirect beneficial owners of the Portfolios’ Class 2 and Class 3 shares.

The Trust has entered into a Transfer Agency and Services Agreement with VALIC Retirement Services Company (VRSCO), a whollyowned subsidiary of the Variable Annuity Life Insurance Company (“VALIC”), which is an affiliate of the Adviser. Under the agreement, VRSCO provides services, which include the issuance and redemption of shares, payment of dividends between the Trust and their “institutional” shareholders and certain shareholder reporting services including confirmation of transactions, statements of account and tax reporting. The Trust, SunAmerica Series Trust and Seasons Series Trust pay VRSCO on an annual basis, a fee in the aggregate amount of $150,000 for Transfer Agency Services provided pursuant to the agreement. Accordingly, for the period ended December 31, 2013, transfer agent fees were paid (see Statements of Operations) based on the aforementioned agreement.

Effective October 8, 2012 through April 30, 2014, SAAMCo has contractually agreed to waive its fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent the Total Annual Portfolio Operating Expenses of the Multi-Asset Portfolio exceed 1.10% for Class 1 shares and 1.35% for Class 3 shares, respectively. For the purposes of waived fee and/or reimbursed expense calculations, Annual Fund Operating Expenses shall not include extraordinary expenses, as determined under GAAP, or acquired fund fees and expenses. Any waivers or reimbursements made by SAAMCo with respect to the Multi-Asset Portfolio are subject to recoupment from the Multi-Asset Portfolio within two years after the occurrence of the waivers and/or reimbursements, provided that the Multi-Asset Portfolio is able to effect such payment to SAAMCo and remain in compliance with the contractual expense limitations in effect at the time the waivers and/or reimbursements were made. The fee waivers and/or expense limitations may be modified or discontinued prior to April 30, 2014, only with the approval of the Board.

Note 6.  Federal Income Taxes

The following details the tax basis of distributions as well as the components of distributable earnings. The tax basis components of distributable earnings differ from the amounts reflected in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities by temporary book/tax differences primarily arising from wash sales, straddles, investments in passive foreign investment companies, amortization of premium/discount, investments in partnerships, retirement pension expense and derivative transactions.

  On December 22, 2010, the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the "Act") was enacted which changed various technical rules governing the tax treatment of regulated investment companies. The changes are generally effective for taxable years beginning after the date of enactment. Under the Act, the fund will be permitted to carry forward capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after the date of enactment for an unlimited period. However, any losses incurred during those future taxable years will be required to be utilized prior to the losses incurred in pre-enactment taxable years, which carry an expiration date. As a result of this ordering rule, pre-enactment capital loss carryforwards may be more likely to expire unused. Additionally, post-enactment capital losses that are carried forward will retain their character as either short-term or long-term losses rather than being considered all short-term as under previous law.

Note 8.  Trustees’ Retirement Plan

The Trustees of Anchor Series Trust have adopted the SunAmerica Disinterested Trustees’ and Directors’ Retirement Plan (the “Retirement Plan”) effective January 1, 1993, as amended, for the Disinterested Trustees. The Retirement Plan provides generally that a Disinterested Trustee may become a participant (“Participant”) in the Retirement Plan if he or she has at least 10 years of consecutive service as a Disinterested Trustee of any of the adopting SunAmerica mutual funds (the “Adopting Funds”) or has attained the age of 60 while a Trustee and completed five (5) consecutive years of service as a Trustee of any Adopting Fund (an “Eligible Trustee”). Pursuant to the Retirement Plan, an Eligible Trustee may receive benefits upon (i) his or her death or disability while a Trustee or (ii) the termination of his or her tenure as a Trustee, other than removal for cause from each of the Adopting Funds with respect to which he or she is an Eligible Trustee.

As of each of the first 10 birthdays after becoming a Participant and on which he or she is both a Trustee and Participant, each Eligible Trustee will be credited with an amount equal to 50% of his or her regular fees (excluding committee fees) for services as a Disinterested Trustee of each Adopting Fund for the calendar year in which such birthday occurs. In addition, an amount equal to 8.50% of any amounts credited under the preceding statement during prior years is added to each Eligible Trustee’s account. The rights of any Participant to benefits under the Retirement Plan shall be an unsecured claim against the assets of the Adopting Funds. An Eligible Trustee may receive any benefits payable under the Retirement Plan, at his or her election, either in one lump sum or in up to 15 annual installments. Any undistributed amounts shall continue to accrue interest at 8.50%.

Effective December 3, 2008, the Retirement Plan was amended to, among other things, (1) freeze the Retirement Plan as to future accruals for active Participants as of December 31, 2008, (2) prohibit Disinterested Trustees from first becoming participants in the Retirement Plan after December 31, 2008 and (3) permit active Participants to elect to receive a distribution of their entire Retirement Plan account balance in 2009. The freeze on future accruals does not apply to Participants that have commenced receiving benefits under the Retirement Plan on or before December 31, 2008.

The following amounts for the Retirement Plan Liabilities are included in the Trustees’ fees and expenses payable line on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and the amounts for the Retirement Plan Expenses are included in the Trustees’ fees and expenses line on the Statements of Operations.

Note 9.  Line of Credit

The SunAmerica family of mutual funds has established a $75 million committed and a $50 million uncommitted line of credit with State Street Bank and Trust Company, the Portfolios’ custodian. Interest is currently payable at the higher of the Federal Funds Rate plus 125 basis points or the overnight London Interbank Offered Rate plus 125 basis points on the committed line and State Street Bank and Trust Company’s discretionary bid rate on the uncommitted line of credit. There is also a commitment fee of 10 basis points per annum on the daily unused portion of the committed line of credit which is included in other expenses on the Statements of Operations. Borrowings under the line of credit will commence when the respective Portfolio’s cash shortfall exceeds $100,000. For the year ended December 31, 2013, the following Portfolios had borrowings:

At December 31, 2013, there were no borrowings outstanding.

Note 10.  Interfund Lending Agreement

Pursuant to the exemptive relief granted by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Portfolios are permitted to participate in an interfund lending program among investment companies advised by SAAMCo or an affiliate. The interfund lending program allows the participating Portfolios to borrow money from and lend money to each other for temporary or emergency purposes. An interfund loan will be made under this facility only if the participating Portfolios receive a more favorable interest rate than would otherwise be available from a typical bank for a comparable transaction. For the year ended December 31, 2013, none of the Portfolios participated in this program.

Note 11.  Investment Concentration

Some of the Portfolios may invest internationally, including in “emerging market” countries. Emerging market securities involve risks not typically associated with investing in securities of issuers in more developed markets. The markets of emerging market countries are typically more volatile and potentially less liquid than more developed countries. These securities may be denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars. While investing internationally may reduce portfolio risk by increasing the diversification of portfolio investments, the value of the investment may be affected by fluctuating currency values, changing local and regional economic, political and social conditions, and greater market volatility. These risks are primary risks of the Strategic Multi-Asset Portfolio. At December 31, 2013, the Strategic Multi-Asset Portfolio had 11.6% of its net assets invested in securities domiciled in Japan.

The Government and Quality Bond Portfolio, Asset Allocation Portfolio, and Multi-Asset Portfolio may invest in obligations issued by agencies and instrumentalities of the U.S. Government that may vary in the level of support they receive from the government. The government may choose not to provide financial support to government sponsored agencies or instrumentalities if it is not legally obligated to do so. In this case, if the issuer defaulted, the fund holding securities of such issuer might not be able to recover its investment from the U.S. Government. As a result of each Portfolio’s concentration in such investments, it may be subject to risks associated with the U.S. Government agencies or instrumentalities. At December 31, 2013, the Portfolios had 33.8%, 10.6%, and 12.3%, respectively, of their net assets invested in such securities.

ANCHOR SERIES TRUST

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED

PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of Anchor Series Trust:

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the portfolios of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the eight portfolios constituting Anchor Series Trust (the “Trust”) at December 31, 2013, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the periods presented, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Trust’s management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2013 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, and the application of alternative auditing procedures where securities purchased had not been received, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

COMPARISONS: PORTFOLIOS VS. INDEXES (unaudited)

 

As required by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the following graphs compare the performance of a $10,000 investment in each Portfolio to a $10,000 investment in a comparable securities index over the ten year period ended December 31, 2013. Importantly, such indices represent “paper” Portfolios and do not reflect the costs and expenses of actual investing. Following each graph is a discussion of portfolio performance and factors affecting performance over the year ended December 31, 2013.

The following graphs and tables show the performance of the Portfolios at the Anchor Series Trust level and include all trust expenses, but no insurance company expenses associated with the variable annuity and no insurance company contingent deferred sales charge. No expenses are deducted from the performance of the indices. All dividends are assumed to be reinvested.

Investments in stocks and bonds are subject to risk, including stock market and interest-rate fluctuations. Investments in non-U.S. stocks are subject to additional risks, including political and social instability, differing securities regulations and accounting standards, and limited public information. Mortgage-backed securities are subject to prepayment, which can result in reinvestment of principal at lower yields. Money market instruments generally offer stability and income, but an investment in these securities, like investments in other Portfolios, is not guaranteed by the U.S. government or any other entity.

Note: The performance data quoted represents past performance; past performance does not guarantee future results; the investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost; current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Please visit www.sunamerica.com for performance data current to the most recent month-end.

 

 

 

Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

Securities listed may or may not be a part of current Portfolio construction.

U.S. corporate high yield credit [+7.44%], commercial mortgage backed securities [+0.23%], asset backed securities [-0.27%], mortgage backed securities [-1.41%], and U.S. credit [-2.01%] outperformed Treasuries. Taxable municipals [-2.89%] underperformed.

Within the U.S. corporate sector, underweight positioning to industrial and utilities issuers detracted from relative performance. Positioning within U.S. government agency bonds also hurt relative results. The Portfolio benefited from favorable duration positioning during the period. Overweight positioning to, and security selection within the financials sector in U.S. corporates was favorable. Security selection within agency mortgage backed pass-throughs, and positioning within taxable municipals, also helped relative performance.

The Portfolio ended the year with the following sector allocations: 40.2% U.S. government and agencies, 36.8% U.S. mortgage-backed securities, 17.8% U.S. credit, 2.8% commercial mortgage-backed securities, 1.2% asset backed securities, and 1.2% in cash and cash equivalents. From a quality standpoint, 82.9% of the Portfolio’s assets at year end were invested in securities rated AAA*, including cash.

 

*   Quality ratings are based on the median of Moody, S&P or Fitch. If only two agencies are available, the lower rating is used. If only one agency is available, that agency’s rating is used.

The Blended Index consists of 40% Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index and 60% S&P 500® Index. The Portfolio believes that the Blended Index may be more representative of the market sectors or types of securities in which the Portfolio invests than any of the individual benchmark indices, in that it includes both equity and fixed income components.

The Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index combines several Barclays fixed-income indices to give a broad view of the U.S. investment grade fixed rate bond market, with index components for government and corporate bonds, mortgage pass-through securities, and asset-backed securities.

The S&P 500® Index tracks the performance of 500 stocks representing a sampling of the largest domestic stocks traded publicly in the United States. Because it is market-weighted, the index will reflect changes in larger companies more heavily than those in smaller companies.

The Asset Allocation Portfolio — Class 1 shares returned 17.87% for the twelve month period ending December 31, 2013 compared to a 32.39% return of the S&P 500 Index and -2.02% return of the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. The blended benchmark of 60% S&P 500 Index / 40% Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index returned 17.56% for the annual period.

Stocks outperformed bonds during the period, as measured by the S&P 500 Index [+32.39%] and the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index [-2.02%]. The outperformance of stocks versus bonds was consistent throughout the year, but was particularly pronounced during the first and fourth quarters of the year. International stocks underperformed U.S. stocks for the period. Emerging market stocks struggled, finishing the year with a negative return. Foreign developed markets, although lagging U.S. stocks, had a strong year. Fixed income securities, as measured by the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, posted negative returns for the year. The high-yield sector was the exception, posting positive returns and outperforming higher quality U.S. Treasury and Government bonds during the year.

Over the course of 2013, the Portfolio’s equity allocation was maintained above 63%, ending the year at 68%. This overweight positioning in equities aided performance throughout the year. The Portfolio’s strategic allocation to international stocks hindered relative performance as international stocks underperformed during the year. The Portfolio’s strategic allocation to REITs hindered performance as REITs underperformed other equities during the year. The Portfolio’s long term strategic and tactical allocation to high-yield bonds aided relative performance as high-yield bonds outperformed other fixed income securities during the year.

Due to the Portfolio’s large number of individual holdings (over 1,200), individual security impacts were minimal. Stock selection results were positive among U.S. Mid Cap Value and U.S. Large Cap Growth stocks, while stock selection results among REITs stocks were negative.

The Growth and Income Portfolio — Class 1 shares posted a return of 32.43% for the twelve month period ending December 31, 2013, compared to a 32.39% return for the S&P 500 Index.

Within the S&P 500 Index, all ten sectors posted double-digit positive results. Consumer discretionary [+43.0%], health care [+41.5%], and industrials [+40.7%] posted the strongest returns, while telecommunication services [+11.5%] and utilities [+13.2%] lagged the broader index.

The Portfolio transitioned on May 1, 2013 from Wellington Management’s Opportunistic Large Cap Core approach to Wellington Management’s Disciplined US Equity approach. The benchmark remained the S&P 500 Index.

From January 1, 2013 through April 30, 2013 the Portfolio underperformed the S&P 500 Index. During this period, stock selection was the main driver of underperformance, but sector allocation detracted modestly as well. Strong stock selection within the consumer staples and consumer discretionary sectors was more than offset by weak selection within the materials, health care, information technology, and energy sectors. An underweight position to utilities detracted during the period as did a cash position in a rising equity environment.

Subsequent to the transition, from May 1, 2013 through the end of 2013, the Portfolio outperformed the S&P 500 Index. Stock selection was the primary driver of outperformance during this period. Selection was strongest within the health care, financials, and consumer staples sectors which outweighed weaker results within energy. Sector allocation had a neutral impact for the period as positive results from an underweight to telecommunication services was offset by negative results from a cash position in a rising equity market. The top contributors to relative performance during this period included Towers Watson (industrials), Forest Laboratories (health care), and Gilead Sciences (health care). Cobalt International Energy (energy), Xcel Energy (utilities), and Eli Lilly (health care) detracted from relative performance. The position in Xcel Energy was eliminated prior to the end of the year.

The Growth Portfolio — Class 1 shares posted a return of 35.14% for the twelve month period ending December 31, 2013, compared to a 33.55% return for the Russell 3000 Index.

All ten sectors within the Russell 3000 Index posted double-digit positive returns for the fiscal year. Consumer discretionary [+44.5%], health care [+42.7%], and industrials [+42.3%] were the strongest performing sectors in the benchmark, while telecommunication services [+14.8%] and utilities [+14.9%] lagged the broader index.

Relative outperformance was driven by strong stock selection within the financials, consumer staples, and information technology sectors. Within financials, Ameriprise Financial, Waddell & Reed, and Lincoln National were the leading relative contributors. Within consumer staples, Green Mountain Coffee, Herbalife, and Walgreens contributed to relative performance. Within information technology, positions in iGATE and Web.com, as well as not owning weak-performing benchmark constituent IBM helped relative performance.

Stock selection was weaker within the materials, energy, and health care sectors. Within materials, shares of Barrick Gold and Carpenter Technologies fell during the period and detracted from relative results. Within energy, Ensco, Anadarko Petroleum, and Chevron detracted. Within health care, positions in Eli Lilly and Merck weighed on performance, as did not owning Celgene. Additionally, EMC (information technology) and AFLAC (financials) were among the top relative detractors during the period.

Sector allocation was modestly additive to performance during the period, driven by underweights to the weaker performing telecommunications services and utilities sectors.

The Portfolio ended the fiscal year with the largest overweights to the consumer discretionary, industrials, and health care sectors, and the largest underweights to the materials, utilities, and telecommunication services.

The Capital Appreciation Portfolio — Class 1 shares posted a return of 35.80% for the twelve month period ending December 31, 2013, compared to a 34.23% return for the Russell 3000 Growth Index.

All ten sectors within the Russell 3000 Growth Index posted double-digit gains during the year led by health care [+48.6%] and consumer discretionary [+44.4%]. Telecommunication services [+18.3%] and consumer staples [+24.7%] lagged the broader index.

Relative outperformance was driven by positive stock selection within the information technology and financials sectors. Within information technology, positions in LinkedIn and Facebook, as well as underweight to Apple, and avoidance of IBM aided relative results. Within financials, positions in Intercontinental Exchange, Platform Acquisition, and BlackRock were top relative contributors. Additionally, the Portfolio’s position in Priceline.com (consumer discretionary) was among the top relative contributors during the period.

Stock selection within health care and industrials detracted from relative results. Within health care, positions in Edwards Lifesciences, Catamaran, and Hologic had a negative impact on relative performance. In industrials, Polypore International and Owens Corning detracted, along with the lack of a position in Boeing, a strong-performing benchmark constituent. Teradata (information technology), Francesca’s Holdings (consumer discretionary), and Lululemon Athletica (consumer discretionary) were also among the top relative detractors during the fiscal year.

Sector positioning, a residual of the bottom-up stock selection process, contributed positively to relative performance. This was driven largely by an overweight allocation to consumer discretionary and an underweight to consumer staples.

The Portfolio ended the fiscal year most overweight to the consumer discretionary and information technology sectors. The Portfolio was most underweight the consumer staples, telecommunication services, and materials sectors.

The Natural Resources Portfolio — Class 1 shares posted a return of 5.80% for the twelve month period ending December 31, 2013, compared to a 32.39% return for the S&P 500 Index.

All ten sectors within the S&P 500 Index posted positive returns led by the consumer discretionary [+43.0%], health care [+41.5%], and industrials [+40.7%] sectors. The telecommunication services [+11.5%] and utilities [+13.2%] sectors lagged the broader index.

Benchmark-relative underperformance was primarily due to overweight allocations to energy and metals & minerals. The energy and metals & minerals sectors did not keep up with the strong overall S&P 500 Index return. Top absolute detractors from returns during the fiscal year included positions in diversified metals & mining companies Mongolian Mining and Teck Resources, as well as position in steel company ArcelorMittal. Teck Resources and ArcelorMittal were sold before the end of the period. Positions in producers BG Group and Pioneer Natural Resources, as well as refining & marketing company Phillips 66 contributed most on an absolute basis.

The Portfolio’s composition at fiscal year-end was comprised of 59.9% energy-related stocks with the majority of the holdings in the producers and integrated oils sub-sectors. BG Group and Chevron were the largest holdings in these sub-sectors. Most of the balance of the Portfolio consisted of metals & minerals companies 27.8% where the largest positions were Rio Tinto and BHP Billiton. The allocation to chemicals was at 3.7%.

The Multi-Asset Portfolio — Class 1 shares posted a return of 17.67% for the twelve month period ending December 31, 2013, compared to a 32.39% return for the S&P 500 Index, a -2.02% return for the Barclays US Aggregate Bond Index, and a 17.68% return of its blended benchmark, comprised of 60% S&P 500 Index, 35% Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, and 5% Citigroup 3-Month T-Bill.

For the year, the equity portion of the Portfolio modestly underperformed its benchmark, the S&P 500 Index, while the fixed income portion outperformed its benchmark, the Barclays US Aggregate Bond Index.

During the reporting period, all ten sectors within the S&P 500 Index posted double-digit returns, led by the consumer discretionary [+43.0%], health care [+41.5%], and industrials [+40.7%] sectors. The telecommunication services [+11.5%] and utilities [+13.2%] sectors lagged the broader index.

Within the equity portion of the Portfolio, unfavorable security selection within the energy and materials sectors detracted the most from relative results.

EMC (information technology) and Boeing (industrials) were also among the top performance detractors. Stock selection in the consumer staples and financials sectors contributed to relative performance during the period, but was not enough to offset negative results elsewhere.

Within the fixed income portion of the Portfolio, an overweight positioning to and security selection within investment grade financials issuers contributed to relative results. Positioning within agency mortgage-backed securities was also positive. Duration positioning contributed to relative performance.

The MSCI ACWI USD Index is a free-float adjusted market capitalization index that is designed to measure equity performance in the global developed and emerging markets and in 49 global and developed markets. MSCI uses an arbitrary sampling of stocks and aims to capture 85% of the total market capitalization at both the country and industry levels.

The Citigroup World Government Bond Index (U.S. $ hedged, equal-weighted ex-Switzerland) is an equal weighted, total return benchmark designed to cover 20+ investment grade country bond markets. The eleven countries of the European Monetary Union count as one geographic region and, in aggregate, they receive one share of this equal-weighted index.

The Blended Index consists of 65% MSCI ACWI USD Index, 30% Citigroup World Government Bond Index (U.S. $ hedged, equal-weighted ex-Switzerland), and 5% Citigroup 3-month T-Bill. The Portfolio believes that the Blended Index may be more representative of the market sectors or types of securities in which the Portfolio invests than any of the individual benchmark indices, in that it includes both equity and fixed income components.

The Strategic Multi-Asset Portfolio — Class 1 shares posted a return of 19.65% for the twelve month period ending December 31, 2013, compared to a 22.80% return for the MSCI ACWI USD Index, a -1.98% return for the Citigroup World Government Bond Index (U.S. $ hedged, equal-weighted ex-Switzerland), and a 13.73% return for the blended benchmark. The blended benchmark is comprised of 65% MSCI ACWI USD Index, 30% Citigroup World Government Bond Index (U.S. $ hedged, equal-weighted ex-Switzerland), and 5% Citigroup 3-month T-Bill Index.

Global equity markets returned 22.8% for the year, as measured by the MSCI ACWI USD Index. Emerging Markets [-2.6%] underperformed their developed market counterparts [+26.7%] for the year as measured by the MSCI Emerging Markets and MSCI World indexes respectively. From a regional perspective, Japan led other regions, returning [+27.2%] for the year, as measured by the MSCI Japan Index followed by Europe which returned [+25.2%] as measured by the MSCI Europe Index. The Pacific ex Japan region lagged returning only [+5.5%] during the year, as measured by the MSCI Pacific Ex Japan Index. The United States posted a very strong [+32.4%] return for the year, as measured by the S&P 500 Index. Within the global fixed income markets, unhedged global bonds [-4.00%] underperformed hedged global bonds [+0.22%] as measured by the Citigroup World Government Bond Indexes.

The impact of asset allocation decisions was positive for the year, primarily due to an overweight to equities and underweights to fixed income and cash.

The global equity portion of the Portfolio outperformed the MSCI ACWI USD Index during the year driven primarily by strong stock selection in the financials, industrials, and health

care sectors. These results more than offset weaker selection within utilities. Allocation among sectors, a residual of the bottom up stock selection process, also contributed to the Portfolio’s relative outperformance. From a regional perspective, stock selection within North America contributed to relative results. An underweight to Emerging Markets, which lagged, also helped relative performance. A residual cash position in a rising equity environment detracted.

Within the global bond portion of the Portfolio, duration positioning was a detractor, as were country decisions. Currency exposures were a modest relative contributor during the year.

At the end of the year, the Portfolio was positioned with an overweight to equities and underweights to both fixed income and cash.

During the period, the Portfolio held equity index and bond futures, as well as currency forwards. In isolation, equity index futures, bond futures, and currency forwards contributed to the Portfolio’s absolute performance.
