Past performance is not indicative of future results.Effective December 17, 2019, certain changes were made to the AIG Income Explorer Fund’s investment strategy and techniques, as wellas to the portfolio management. Prior to this date, the Fund was invested in closed end funds, global equity securities and preferredsecurities. For a detailed description of the Fund’s strategy, techniques and management, as well as expenses, please see the Fund’sProspectus.Preferred securities are subject to bond market volatility risk, credit risk and interest rate fluctuation risk. In addition, preferred securitiesare subordinated to other securities in the issuer’s capital structure and are subject to the risk that the issuer will fail to make dividends orother distributions because other claims on the issuer’s assets take priority. Preferred securities may be less liquid than many other typesof securities and may be subject to the risk of being redeemed prior to their scheduled date. The Fund may invest in high-yield securitiesand senior loan securities, which are considered speculative. High-yield securities carry a high risk of default or may already be in default.The market price of such securities may fluctuate more than higher-quality securities and may decline significantly.Real estate securities are subject to the risk that property values may fall due to increasing vacancies or declining rents. The price of realestate securities also may decline because of the failure of borrowers to pay their loans and poor management. Many real estate companiesutilize leverage, which increases investment risk and could adversely affect a company’s operations and market value in periods of risinginterest rates, as well as risks normally associated with debt financing. Income and real estate values also may be adversely affected bysuch factors as applicable laws, interest rate levels and the availability of financing.The Global Dividend Stocks and REIT sleeves each employ a disciplined strategy and will not deviate from their strategy (except to theextent necessary to comply with federal tax laws or other applicable laws). If either sleeve is committed to a strategy that is unsuccessful,the Fund may not meet its overall investment goal. Because the Global Dividend Stocks sleeve generally will not use certain hedgingtechniques available to the Preferred and REIT sleeves to reduce stock market exposure, this portion of the Fund may be more susceptibleto general market declines than the other sleeves. International investing involves special risks, such as currency fluctuations andeconomic and political instability, greater market volatility and limited liquidity.Stocks of small-cap and mid-cap companies are generally more volatile than and not as readily marketable as those of larger companies,and may have fewer resources and a greater risk of business failure than do large companies.
