Fees and Expenses of the Fund

This table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy and hold shares of the Fund.

Expense Example

This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating

expenses remain the same and that all fee waivers remain in place only for the period ending December 31, 2013. The Example does not reflect charges imposed by the Variable Contract. See the Variable Contract prospectus for information on such charges. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions and the net expenses shown in the fee table, your costs would be:

Principal Risks of Investing in the Fund

There can be no assurance that the Fund’s investment objective will be met or that the net return on an investment in the Fund will exceed what could have been obtained through other investment or savings vehicles. As with any mutual fund, there is no guarantee that the Fund will be able to achieve its investment objective. Although the Fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund. An investment in the Fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Because of the following principal risks the value of your investment may fluctuate and you could lose money.

The following is a summary of the principal risks of investing in the Fund.

Credit Risk : The issuer of a fixed-income security owned by the Fund may be unable to make interest or principal payments.

Financial Services Exposure Risk: A substantial portion of the Fund’s portfolio may be comprised of money market instruments issued by banks. As a result, events affecting issuers in the financial services industry, including changes in government regulation and interest rates and economic downturns, may impact the creditworthiness of such issuers or their ability to honor their financial obligations. These events could have a negative impact on the Fund.

Interest Rate Risk : The value of fixed-income securities may decline when interest rates go up or increase when interest rates go down. The interest earned on fixed-income securities may decline when interest rates go down or increase when interest rates go up. Longer-term and lower coupon bonds tend to be more sensitive to changes in interest rates.

Risks of Investing in Money Market Securities : An investment in the Fund is subject to the risk that the value of its investments in high-quality short-term obligations (“money market securities”) may be subject to changes in interest rates, changes in the rating of any money market security and in the ability of an issuer to make payments of interest and principal.

U.S. Government Obligations Risk : Unlike U.S. Treasury obligations, securities issued or guaranteed by federal agencies or authorities and U.S. Government-sponsored instrumentalities or enterprises may or may not be backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government and are therefore subject to greater credit risk than securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury.

Performance Information

The following Risk/Return Bar Chart and Table illustrate the risks of investing in the Fund by showing changes in the Fund’s performance from calendar year to calendar year and comparing the Fund’s average annual returns to those of the Citi Treasury 3 Month Index. Fees and expenses incurred at the contract level are not reflected in the bar chart or table. If these amounts were reflected, returns would be less than those shown. Of course, past performance is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future.

During the periods shown in the bar chart below, the highest return for a quarter was 1.21% (quarter ending December 31, 2006) and the lowest return for a quarter was 0.00% (quarter ending March 31, 2011). For the year-to-date through September 30, 2012, the Fund’s return was 0.01%.

Purchases and Sales of Fund Shares

Shares of the Funds may only be purchased or redeemed through Variable Contracts offered by the separate accounts of VALIC or other participating life insurance companies or through qualifying retirement plans (“Plans”) and IRAs. Shares of the Funds may be purchased and redeemed each day the New York Stock Exchange is open, at the Fund’s net asset value determined after receipt of a request in good order.

The Funds do not have any initial or subsequent investment minimums. However, your insurance company may impose investment or account value minimums.

 

Tax Information

The Funds will not be subject to federal income tax on the net investment company taxable income or net capital gains distributed to shareholders as ordinary income dividends or capital gain dividends; however you may be subject to federal income tax upon withdrawal from your Contract, Plan or IRA.

Payments to Broker-Dealers and

 

Other Financial Intermediaries

The Funds are not sold directly to the general public but instead are offered to registered and unregistered separate accounts of VALIC and its affiliates and to Plans and IRAs. The Funds and their related companies may make payments to the sponsoring insurance company or its affiliates for recordkeeping and distribution. These payments may create a conflict of interest as they may be a factor that the insurance company considers in including the Funds as underlying investment options in a variable contract. Visit your sponsoring insurance company’s website for more information.
