* These funds share identical investment objectives with their aligned American Funds fund.

† Expense alignment refers to the management fees after applicable waivers/reimbursements. The investment adviser is currently waiving a portion of its management fee for American Funds Insurance Series funds Global Growth Fund, Global Small Capitalization Fund, New World Fund, Capital World Growth and Income Fund, Washington Mutual Investors Fund, Capital Income Builder, American Funds Global Balanced Fund, American Funds Mortgage Fund, American High-Income Trust, The Bond Fund of America and U.S. Government Securities Fund.

The waiver and reimbursement will be in effect through at least May 1, 2026. The adviser may elect at its discretion to extend, modify or terminate the reimbursement at that time. The waiver may only be modified or terminated with the approval of the fund's board. Visit capitalgroup.com/afis for more information.

‡ Effective June 1, 2025, EuroPacific Growth Fund was renamed EUPAC Fund.

Variable annuities are long-term investment products designed for retirement purposes and are subject to market fluctuation, investment risk and possible loss of principal. Variable annuities contain both investment and insurance components and have fees and charges, including mortality and expense, administrative and advisory fees. Optional features are available for an additional charge. The annuity’s value fluctuates with the market value of the underlying investment options, and all assets accumulate tax deferred. Withdrawals of earnings are taxable as ordinary income and, if taken prior to age 59½, may be subject to an additional 10% federal tax. Withdrawals will reduce the death benefit and cash surrender value.

Investments are not FDIC-insured, nor are they deposits of or guaranteed by a bank or any other entity, so they may lose value.
Investors should carefully consider investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses. This and other important information is contained in the American Funds Insurance Series prospectuses and summary prospectuses, which can be obtained from a financial professional and should be read carefully before investing.
Investments in mortgage-related securities involve additional risks, such as prepayment risk.
The use of derivatives involves a variety of risks, which may be different from, or greater than, the risks associated with investing in traditional securities, such as stocks and bonds.
Interests in Capital Group's U.S. Government Securities portfolios are not guaranteed by the U.S. government.
Lower rated bonds are subject to greater fluctuations in value and risk of loss of income and principal than higher rated bonds.
The return of principal for bond portfolios and for portfolios with significant underlying bond holdings is not guaranteed. Investments are subject to the same interest rate, inflation and credit risks associated with the underlying bond holdings.
Hedge instruments, including exchange-traded futures contracts and exchange-traded put options, may not provide an effective hedge of the underlying securities because changes in the prices of such instruments may not track those of the securities they are intended to hedge. In addition, the managed risk strategy may not effectively protect the fund from market declines and will limit the fund's participation in market gains. The use of the managed risk strategy could cause the fund's return to lag those of the underlying funds in certain market conditions.
While not directly correlated to changes in interest rates, the values of inflation-linked bonds generally fluctuate in response to changes in real interest rates and may experience greater losses than other debt securities with similar durations.
Investing outside the United States involves risks, such as currency fluctuations, periods of illiquidity and price volatility. These risks may be heightened in connection with investments in developing countries.
Nondiversified funds have the ability to invest a larger percentage of assets in the securities of a smaller number of issuers than a diversified fund. As a result, poor results by a single issuer could adversely affect fund results more than if the fund invested in a larger number of issuers. See the applicable prospectus for details.
Smaller company stocks entail additional risks, and they can fluctuate in price more than larger company stocks.
