Principal Investment Strategies of Acquired Fund: AZL DFA 5 Year Global Fixed Income Fund   The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by generally investing in a universe of U.S. and foreign debt securities maturing in five years or less from the date of settlement. The Fund primarily invests in obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. and foreign governments, their agencies and instrumentalities, corporate debt obligations, bank obligations, commercial paper, repurchase agreements, obligations of other domestic and foreign issuers, securities of domestic or foreign issuers denominated in U.S. dollars but not trading in the United States, and obligations of supranational organizations. At the present time, the Subadviser of the Fund expects that most investments will be made in the obligations of issuers which are in developed countries. However, in the future, the Subadviser may consider investing in issuers located in other countries as well. The fixed income securities in which the Fund invests are considered investment grade at the time of purchase, as rated by at least one major rating agency, or determined by the Subadviser to be of similar quality.  Under normal market conditions, the Fund intends to invest its assets to gain exposure to issuers of at least three different countries, one of which may be the United States. An issuer may be considered to be of a country if it is organized under the laws of, maintains its principal place of business in, has at least 50% of its assets or derives at least 50% of its operating income in, or is a government, government agency, instrumentality or central bank of, that country.  As a non-fundamental policy, under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets in fixed income securities that mature within five years from the date of settlement.   It is the policy of the Fund that the weighted average length of maturity of investments will generally not exceed five years. In making purchase decisions, if the expected term premium is greater for longer-term securities in the eligible maturity range, the Fund will focus investment in the longer-term area, otherwise, the Fund will focus investment in the shorter-term area of the eligible maturity range. The term “expected term premium” means the expected relative return on investment for holding securities having longer-term maturities as compared to securities having shorter-term maturities. The Fund is authorized to invest more than 25% of its total assets in U.S. Treasury bonds, bills and notes and obligations of federal agencies and instrumentalities.   The Subadviser will consider factors such as maturity, credit, anticipated transaction costs and market conditions when deciding whether to sell a security. Changes in expected term premium, including whether other investments present a more favorable expected term premium, may cause the Fund to sell securities. If a security which was investment grade at the time of purchase subsequently is downgraded to below investment grade, the Subadviser may, but is not required to, sell the security.   Because many of the Fund’s investments may be denominated in foreign currencies, the Fund may also enter into foreign currency forward contracts to attempt to protect against uncertainty in the level of future foreign currency rates, to hedge against fluctuations in currency exchange rates or to transfer balances from one currency to another. In regard to currency hedging, it is generally not possible to precisely match the foreign currency exposure of such foreign currency forward contracts to the value of the securities involved due to fluctuations in the market values of such securities and cash flows into and out of the Fund between the date a foreign currency forward contract is entered into and the date it expires. The Fund may purchase or sell futures contracts and options on futures contracts, to hedge its currency exposure or to hedge its interest rate exposure or for non-hedging purposes, such as a substitute for direct investment or to increase or decrease market exposure based on actual or expected cash inflows to or outflows from the Fund.

Principal Investment Strategies of Acquiring Fund: AZL Enhanced Bond Index Fund   The Fund generally invests in a combination of securities with an overall weighting close to the capitalization weights of the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (the “Index”); however, the Fund’s investments may not replicate the portfolio weights of the Index at all times. Instead, the Subadviser may overweight or underweight securities in the Fund (relative to their weightings in the Index) in order to emphasize securities which have quantitative characteristics (such as above-average yield or below-average valuation) the Subadviser believes may enhance performance. The Fund may not invest in all of the bonds in the Index, or in the same weightings as in the Index. Because the Index typically includes securities not readily available in the market, the Fund may invest in bonds that are not included in the Index but that are selected to reflect as closely as practicable characteristics, such as maturity, duration, or credit quality, of bonds in the Index. This may result in different levels of interest rate, credit or other risks from the levels of risks on the securities included in the Index. The Fund may trade securities to the extent necessary to maintain the duration of certain segments of the portfolio close to the duration of corresponding segments of the Index. The Index is a broad-based benchmark that measures the investment grade, U.S. dollar-denominated, fixed-rate taxable bond market. The Index includes Treasuries, government-related and corporate securities, mortgage-backed securities (agency fixed-rate and hybrid ARM pass-throughs), asset-backed securities and commercial mortgage-backed securities (agency and non-agency).   Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in investment-grade debt securities (those of medium and high quality) of all types and repurchase agreements for those securities. Further, under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of the value of its net assets in securities or other financial instruments that are components of or have economic characteristics similar to the securities included in the Index. The Subadviser uses the Index as a guide in structuring the Fund and selecting its investments and manages the Fund to have similar overall interest rate risk to the Index, with the investment objective of seeking to exceed the total return of the Index.   The Fund usually will invest a portion of its assets in mortgage-backed securities. Most mortgage-backed securities are issued by Federal government agencies, such as the Government National Mortgage Association (“Ginnie Mae”), or government sponsored enterprises, such as the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“Freddie Mac”) or the Federal National Mortgage Association (“Fannie Mae”). Principal and interest payments on mortgage-backed securities issued by the Federal government agencies may be guaranteed by either the Federal government or the government agency, but not all such securities issued by certain government agencies and by government sponsored enterprises are guaranteed by the U.S. government or backed by the full faith and credit of the United States. The Fund may also invest up to 5% of its assets in collateralized loan obligations (“CLOs”), a type of asset-backed security. A CLO is a trust typically collateralized by a pool of loans, which may include, among others, domestic and foreign senior secured loans, senior unsecured loans, and subordinate corporate loans, including loans that may be rated below investment grade or equivalent unrated loans.   The Fund also may invest in U.S. Treasury bills, notes and bonds and other “full faith and credit” obligations of the U.S. Government. The Fund may also invest in U.S. Government agency securities, which are debt obligations issued or guaranteed by agencies or instrumentalities of the U.S. Government. “Agency” securities may not be backed by the “full faith and credit” of the U.S. Government. U.S. Government agencies may include the Federal Farm Credit Bank, the Resolution Trust Corporation and the Government National Mortgage Association. “Agency” obligations are not explicitly guaranteed by the U.S. Government and so are perceived as somewhat riskier than comparable Treasury bonds.   Securities must be rated investment grade or better at the time of purchase by at least one major rating agency or determined by the Fund’s Subadviser to be of similar quality. Split rated bonds will be considered to have the higher credit rating. Except for Treasury or agency debentures, pass through securities, or REMICs (real estate mortgage investment conduits), no more than 3% of the Fund’s assets may be invested in the securities of a single issuer.   The Fund may use futures, options, and/or swaps to manage duration and other characteristics of its portfolio. The Fund is permitted to purchase securities in private placements or Rule 144A transactions and to purchase securities on a when-issued basis or for forward delivery. The Fund may also enter into repurchase agreements and covered dollar rolls on mortgage securities. The Fund may invest in non-U.S. dollar denominated securities, but when it does, the Subadviser typically will hedge the foreign currency exposure to the U.S. dollar through the use of currency forwards or cash.   The Fund may engage in active and frequent trading of portfolio securities to achieve its principal investment strategies.

Comparison: Both funds invest in investment grade debt securities with the Acquired Fund, but not the Acquiring Fund, investing in a universe of U.S. and foreign debt securities maturing in five years or less from the date of settlement. The Acquired Fund, unlike the Acquiring Fund, intends to invest its assets to gain exposure to issuers of at least three different countries, one of which may be the United States.  The Acquired Fund primarily invests in obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. and foreign governments, their agencies and instrumentalities, corporate debt obligations, bank obligations, commercial paper, repurchase agreements, obligations of other domestic and foreign issuers, securities of domestic or foreign issuers denominated in U.S. dollars but not trading in the United States, and obligations of supranational organizations.  The Acquiring Fund invests in a combination of securities with an overall weighting close to the capitalization weights of the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, a broad-based benchmark that measures the investment grade, U.S. dollar-denominated, fixed-rate taxable bond market and includes Treasuries, government-related and corporate securities, mortgage-backed securities (agency fixed-rate and hybrid ARM pass-throughs), asset-backed securities and commercial mortgage-backed securities (agency and non-agency). The Acquired Fund does not invest in a manner that uses an index to guide its investments. The Acquired Fund is authorized to invest more than 25% of its total assets in U.S Treasury bonds, bills and notes and obligations of federal agencies and instrumentalities. The Acquired Fund invests in foreign debt securities and the Acquiring Fund may invest in non-dollar denominated securities.

Principal Investment Strategies of Acquired Fund: AZL Gateway Fund   Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests in a broadly diversified portfolio of common stocks, while also selling index call options. The Fund also buys index put options, which can protect the Fund from a significant market decline that may occur over a short period of time. The combination of the diversified stock portfolio, the cash flow from the sale of index call options and the downside protection from index put options is intended to provide the Fund with the majority of the returns associated with equity market investments while exposing investors to less risk than other equity investments. The Fund may invest in companies with small, medium or large market capitalizations. Equity securities purchased by the Fund may include U.S.-exchange-listed common stocks, American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), and interests in real estate investment trusts (REITs).   From time to time, the Fund may reduce its holdings of put options, resulting in an increased exposure to a market decline. The Fund may invest in foreign securities traded in U.S. markets (through ADRs or stocks traded in U.S. dollars). The Fund may also invest in other investment companies, including money market funds, to the extent permitted by the Investment Company Act of 1940. The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements and/or hold cash and cash equivalents.   The Fund not only strives for the majority of the returns associated with equity market investments, but also returns in excess of those available from other investments comparable in volatility. With its core investment in equities, the Fund is significantly less vulnerable to fluctuations in value caused by interest rate volatility, a risk factor present in both fixed income and hybrid investments, although the Fund expects to generally have lower long-term returns than a portfolio consisting solely of equity securities. The Fund intends that its index option-based risk management strategy will limit the volatility inherent in equities while sacrificing less of the higher equity returns than hybrid investments.

Principal Investment Strategies of Acquiring Fund: AZL FIAM Multi-Strategy Fund   Under normal market conditions, the Fund seeks to achieve its objective by investing in a combination of two strategies. Approximately 60% of the Fund’s assets will be allocated to a fixed-income strategy, and under normal market conditions, at least 80% of those assets will be invested in debt securities of all types and repurchase agreements for those securities (the “Fixed-Income Strategy”). Approximately 40% of the Fund’s assets will be allocated to an equity strategy and invested primarily in large cap common stocks (the “Equity Strategy”). The percentage allocations to each strategy will be monitored regularly by the Manager, but generally will not exceed plus or minus 3% of the 60%/40% allocation.   The Fixed-Income Strategy   Under normal market conditions, the strategy will invest at least 80% of its assets in debt securities of all types and repurchase agreements for those securities. Such investments include corporate bonds, U.S. Treasury obligations, U.S. government agency mortgage securities and real estate investment trusts. A portion of the investments may not be publicly traded. The Subadviser uses the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index as a guide in structuring the strategy and selecting its investments and manages the strategy to have similar overall interest rate risk to the index. The Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index is a broad-based benchmark that measures the investment grade, U.S. dollar-denominated, fixed-rate taxable bond market. The index includes Treasuries, government-related and corporate securities, mortgage backed securities (agency fixed-rate and hybrid ARM pass-throughs), asset-backed securities and commercial mortgage-backed securities (agency and non-agency).   The Subadviser considers other factors when selecting strategy investments, including the credit quality of the issuer, security-specific features and the Subadviser’s assessment of whether the investment is undervalued. In managing the strategy’s exposure to various risks, including interest rate risk, the Subadviser considers, among other things, the market’s overall risk characteristics, the market’s current pricing of those risks, and internal views of potential future market conditions.   The strategy’s assets may be allocated among different market sectors (for example, corporate, asset-backed, or government securities) and different maturities based on the Subadviser’s view of the relative value of each sector or maturity. The strategy’s assets may be invested in securities of foreign issuers, denominated in U.S. dollars or in local currency, in addition to securities of domestic issuers.   The strategy may invest significantly in derivatives instruments, such as interest rate swaps, total return swaps, credit default swaps, and futures contracts (both long and short positions) on securities and indexes, and in forward-settling securities. Such investments may give rise to a form of leverage, particularly when the strategy does not own the assets, instruments or components underlying the derivative instruments. Depending on the Subadviser’s outlook and market conditions, the strategy may invest in derivatives instruments in order to gain exposure to assets, instruments, or indexes, interest rates, or credit qualities.   The strategy also may invest up to 20% of its assets in lower-quality debt securities, sometimes called “junk bonds.”   To earn additional income for the strategy, the Subadviser may use a trading strategy that involves selling (or buying) mortgage securities and simultaneously agreeing to purchase (or sell) mortgage securities on a later date at a set price. This trading strategy may increase interest rate exposure and result in an increased portfolio turnover rate, which increases transaction costs.   The Equity Strategy   The Subadviser normally invests at least 80% of the strategy’s assets in common stocks included in the S&P 500® Index. The S&P 500® Index is a market capitalization-weighted index of 500 common stocks chosen for market size, liquidity, and industry group representation to represent U.S. large-capitalization equity performance. The Subadviser will also invest in securities of issuers that are not part of the S&P 500® Index. The Subadviser considers the strategy’s security, industry, and market capitalization weightings relative to the index. A company’s market capitalization is based on its current market capitalization or its market capitalization at the time of the Fund’s investment. Companies whose capitalization falls below this level after purchase continue to be considered to have a large market capitalization. The size of the companies in an index changes with market conditions and the composition of the index. In buying and selling securities for the strategy, the Subadviser seeks to outperform the S&P 500® Index by, in general, quantitatively evaluating factors such as historical valuation, momentum, profitability, and other factors. The portfolio managers incorporate these analyses using a proprietary program to construct the optimal portfolio holdings and further manage benchmark relative risks. The portfolio managers will generally attempt to overweight securities with positive characteristics identified in the evaluation process and underweight securities with negative characteristics. The Subadviser may also use various techniques, such as buying and selling futures contracts and swaps, to increase or decrease the strategy’s exposure to changing security prices or other factors that affect security values.   The Subadviser may invest the strategy’s assets in securities of foreign issuers in addition to securities of domestic issuers.

Comparison: Both the Acquired Fund and the Acquiring Fund feature an equity allocation and while the Acquired Fund does not have a fixed income allocation, the Acquired Fund generates income through its options strategy.  The Acquired Fund invests in a diversified portfolio of common stock and index call and put options.  The Acquired Fund also buys index put options, which can protect the Acquired Fund from a significant market decline that may occur over a short period of time. The combination of the diversified stock portfolio, the cash flow from the sale of index call options and downside protection from index put options is intended to provide the Acquired Fund with the majority of the returns associated with equity market investments while exposing investors to less risk than other equity investments. In contrast, the Acquiring Fund invests in a combination of a fixed-income strategy and an equity strategy. Approximately 60% of the Acquiring Fund’s assets will be allocated to a fixed-income strategy, and under normal market conditions, at least 80% of those assets will be invested in debt securities of all types and repurchase agreements for those securities (the “Fixed-Income Strategy”). Approximately 40% of the Acquiring Fund’s assets will be allocated to an equity strategy and invested primarily in large cap common stocks (the “Equity Strategy”). Under the Equity Strategy, the Acquiring Fund also invests at least 80% of assets allocated to the Equity Strategy in common stocks included in the S&P 500® Index. The Acquiring Fund uses the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index as a guide in structuring its Fixed-Income Strategy, while the Acquired Fund is not managed with a guide index.

Principal Investment Strategies of Acquired Fund: AZL MetWest Total Return Bond Fund   The Fund pursues its objective by investing, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets in investment-grade fixed income securities or unrated securities that are determined by the Subadviser to be of similar quality. Up to 20% of the Fund’s net assets may be invested in securities rated below investment grade. The Fund also invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets plus borrowings for investment purposes in fixed income securities it regards as bonds. Under normal conditions, the portfolio duration generally is two to eight years and the dollar-weighted average maturity generally ranges from two to fifteen years. The Fund invests in the U.S. and abroad, including emerging markets and may purchase securities of varying maturities issued by domestic and foreign corporations and governments. The Subadviser will focus the Fund’s portfolio holdings in areas of the bond market (based on quality, sector, coupon or maturity) that the Subadviser believes to be relatively undervalued.   Investments include various types of bonds and other securities, typically corporate bonds, notes, collateralized bond obligations, collateralized debt obligations, mortgage-related and asset-backed securities, bank loans, money-market securities, swaps, futures, municipal securities, options, credit default swaps, private placements and restricted securities. These investments may have interest rates that are fixed, variable or floating.   The Fund may sell short up to 25% of the value of its total assets.   Derivatives will be used in an effort to hedge investments, for risk management, or to increase income or gains for the Fund. The Fund may also seek to obtain market exposure to the securities in which it invests by entering into a series of purchase and sale contracts or by using other investment techniques such as reverse repurchase agreements.

Principal Investment Strategies of Acquiring Fund: AZL FIAM Total Bond Fund   Under normal market conditions, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its assets in debt securities of all types and repurchase agreements for those securities. Such investments include corporate bonds, U.S. Treasury obligations, U.S. government agency mortgage securities and real estate investment trusts. A portion of the investments may not be publicly traded. The Subadviser uses the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index as a guide in structuring the Fund and selecting its investments and manages the Fund to have similar overall interest rate risk to the index. The Bloomberg US Aggregate Bond Index is a broad-based benchmark that measures the investment grade, US dollar-denominated, fixed-rate taxable bond market. The index includes Treasuries, government-related and corporate securities, mortgage-backed securities (agency fixed-rate and hybrid ARM pass-throughs), asset-backed securities and commercial mortgage-backed securities (agency and nonagency).   The Subadviser considers other factors when selecting Fund investments, including the credit quality of the issuer, security-specific features and the Subadviser’s assessment of whether the investment is undervalued. In managing the Fund’s exposure to various risks, including interest rate risk, the Subadviser considers, among other things, the market’s overall risk characteristics, the market’s current pricing of those risks, and internal views of potential future market conditions.   The Fund’s assets may be allocated among different market sectors (for example, corporate, asset-backed, or government securities) and different maturities based on the Subadviser’s view of the relative value of each sector or maturity.   The Fund’s assets may be invested in securities of foreign issuers, denominated in US dollars or in local currency, in addition to securities of domestic issuers.   The Fund may invest significantly in derivatives instruments, such as interest rate swaps, total return swaps, credit default swaps, and futures contracts (both long and short positions) on securities and indexes, and in forward-settling securities. Such investments may give rise to a form of leverage, particularly when the Fund does not own the assets, instrument or components underlying the derivative instruments. Depending on the Subadviser’s outlook and market conditions, the Fund may invest in derivatives instruments in order to gain exposure to assets, instruments, or indexes, interest rates, or credit qualities.   The Fund also may invest up to 20% of its assets in lower-quality debt securities, sometimes called “junk bonds.”   To earn additional income for the Fund, the Subadviser may use a trading strategy that involves selling (or buying) mortgage securities and simultaneously agreeing to purchase (or sell) mortgage securities on a later date at a set price. This trading strategy may increase interest rate exposure and result in an increased portfolio turnover rate, which increases transaction costs.

Comparison: Both the Acquired Fund and the Acquiring Fund invest in debt securities with the Acquired Fund investing at least 80% of its assets in investment grade fixed income securities, or unrated securities that are determined by the Subadviser to be of similar quality, while the Acquiring Fund invests at least 80% of its assets in debt securities of all types and repurchase agreements for those securities.  Both Funds may invest up to 20% of their assets in lower quality debt securities or “junk bonds.”  The Subadviser for the Acquiring Fund uses the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (which measures the investment grade, US dollar-denominated, fixed-rate taxable bond market) as a guide in structuring the Acquiring Fund and selecting its investments and manages the Acquiring Fund to have similar overall interest rate risk to the index. The Subadviser of the Acquired Fund does not use an index to guide its investments. The Acquired Fund may sell short up to 25% of the value of its total assets while the Acquiring Fund does not use a similar strategy. Both Funds may invest in derivatives. However, while the Acquiring Fund may invest in derivatives significantly to gain exposure to assets, instruments, or indexes, interest rates or credit qualities, the Acquired Fund will use derivatives in an effort to hedge investments, for risk management, or to increase income or gains for the Fund.

Principal Investment Strategies of Acquired Fund: AZL MSCI Emerging Markets Equity Index Fund   The Fund seeks to track the investment results, before the fees and expenses of the Fund, of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (the “Underlying Index”), which is designed to measure equity market performance in the global emerging markets. The Underlying Index includes equity securities issued by issuers, which range in size between approximately $65 million and $531 billion, although this range may change from time to time. As of February 28, 2022, the Underlying Index consisted of 25 emerging market countries: Brazil, Chile, China, Colombia, Czech Republic, Egypt, Greece, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Korea, Kuwait, Malaysia, Mexico, Pakistan, Peru, Philippines, Poland, Qatar, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey and United Arab Emirates. As of February 28, 2022, China represented approximately 32% of the Underlying Index by weight. The Underlying Index may include large- or mid-capitalization companies. With approximately 1,420 constituents as of February 28, 2022, the Underlying Index covers approximately 85% of the free float-adjusted market capitalization in each country. The components of the Underlying Index, and the degree to which these components represent certain industries, are likely to change over time.   The Subadviser uses a “passive” or indexing approach to try to achieve the Fund’s investment objective. Unlike many investment companies, the Fund does not try to “beat” the index it tracks and does not seek temporary defensive positions when markets decline or appear overvalued.   Indexing may eliminate the chance that the Fund will substantially outperform the Underlying Index but also may reduce some of the risks of active management, such as poor security selection. Indexing seeks to achieve lower costs by keeping portfolio turnover low in comparison to actively managed investment companies.   The Subadviser generally uses a representative sampling indexing strategy to manage the Fund. “Representative sampling” is an indexing strategy that involves investing in a representative sample of securities that collectively has an investment profile similar to that of the Underlying Index. The securities selected are expected to have, in the aggregate, investment characteristics (based on factors such as market capitalization and industry weightings), fundamental characteristics (such as return variability and yield) and liquidity measures similar to those of the Underlying Index. The Fund generally invests at least 90% of its net assets in the securities of its Underlying Index and in depositary receipts representing securities in its Underlying Index. The Fund may invest the remainder of its assets in other securities, including securities not in the Underlying Index, but which the Subadviser believes will help the Fund track the Underlying Index, and in other investments, including futures contracts, options on futures contracts, other types of options and swaps related to its Underlying Index, as well as cash and cash equivalents.   The Underlying Index is calculated by MSCI Inc. (the “Index Provider” or “MSCI”), which is independent of the Fund, the Manager and the Subadviser. The Index Provider determines the composition and relative weightings of the securities in the Underlying Index and publishes information regarding the market value of the Underlying Index.   Industry Concentration Policy. The Fund will concentrate its investments (i.e., hold 25% or more of its total assets) in a particular industry or group of industries to approximately the same extent that the Underlying Index is concentrated.

Principal Investment Strategies of Acquiring Fund: AZL International Index Fund   The Fund employs a passive management approach, investing in a portfolio of assets whose performance is expected to match approximately the performance of the MSCI EAFE Index before the deduction of Fund expenses. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of the value of its net assets in a statistically selected sampling of equity securities of companies included in the MSCI EAFE Index and in derivative instruments linked to the MSCI EAFE Index, primarily futures contracts.   The MSCI EAFE Index is a market-weighted index composed of common stocks of companies from various economic sectors whose primary trading markets are located outside the United States. The MSCI EAFE Index includes large- and mid-capitalization companies across developed markets countries around the world, excluding the US and Canada, and may change over time.   The Fund does not necessarily invest in all of the securities in the MSCI EAFE Index, or in the same weightings as the securities have in the index. The Fund’s Subadviser chooses investments so that the market capitalizations, industry weightings, and other fundamental characteristics of the securities chosen are similar to those of the MSCI EAFE Index as a whole. At February 28, 2022, Japan represented approximately 23% of the MSCI EAFE Index.   Industry Concentration Policy. The Fund will concentrate its investments (i.e., hold 25% or more of its total assets) in a particular industry or group of industries to approximately the same extent that the MSCA EAFE Index is concentrated.

Comparison: Both the Acquired Fund and the Acquiring Fund feature a passive equity strategy that focuses on international equity securities, but the Acquired Fund focuses more on emerging international markets whereas the Acquiring Fund focuses on developed international markets.  The Acquired Fund is passively managed and invests at least 90% of its assets in securities that comprise the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, an index focused on equity securities issued by issuers in emerging markets and depository receipts representing securities in such index. The Acquiring Fund is also passively managed and invests at least 80% the value of its net assets in a statistically selected sampling of equity securities of companies included in the MSCI EAFE Index and in derivative instruments linked to the index. The MSCI EAFE Index is composed of common stocks of companies from various economic sectors whose primary trading markets are located in developed market countries excluding the United States and Canada.  Both Funds use a representative sampling strategy to invest in its index.

Principal Investment Strategies of Acquired Fund: AZL MVP Fusion Balanced Fund The Fund is a fund of funds that, under normal market conditions, seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing primarily in the shares of other mutual funds managed by the Manager or affiliates of the Manager. The Fund is designed to provide a diversified portfolio consisting of funds in equity and fixed income asset classes. Under normal market conditions, the Fund will allocate approximately 95% of its assets to the underlying funds, which will be allocated approximately 50% to underlying equity funds and 50% to underlying fixed income funds. In addition, under normal market conditions, the Fund will allocate approximately 5% of its assets to the MVP risk management process, described below. The investment results of the underlying funds will vary. As a result, the Manager monitors the actual allocations to the underlying funds daily and periodically adjusts the actual allocations to attempt to achieve the target allocation. Generally, the Manager will seek to maintain the actual fund allocations to target using the cash flows that result from contract holders buying or selling shares in the Fund. However, if cash flows were insufficient to maintain the target allocations, the Manager would then buy or sell underlying funds as necessary to attempt to return the Fund’s actual asset allocations to the targets. Generally, the actual allocations will not be more than 10% above or below the targets. The Manager utilizes a strategic asset allocation process to help determine appropriate asset allocations for the Fund among the underlying funds. Under normal market conditions, the Fund will allocate approximately 95% of its assets to the underlying funds as described above, and approximately 5% of the Fund’s assets may be invested in equity and/or fixed income futures, such as S&P 500 Index futures and U.S. Treasury futures, which generally are liquid. The futures strategy, called the MVP risk management process, involves a quantitative analysis and seeks to reduce the volatility of the Fund. Volatility refers to the amount by which the price of an investment can change over a period of time. High volatility indicates that the price has changed significantly, up or down, over a short time period; lower volatility indicates that the price is not changing dramatically, but at a steady pace over a period of time. Generally, higher volatility is considered to be more risky. The goal of the MVP process is to achieve Fund volatility at or below 10% on an annualized basis over a full business cycle by either increasing or decreasing the exposure to equities over time. The Fund seeks to accomplish this primarily by selling equity index futures when markets experience heightened volatility, and by buying equity index futures when markets experience normal or lower levels of volatility. Futures are intended to provide the Manager an effective method to reduce volatility of the Fund and limit the need to decrease or increase allocations to the underlying funds. As a result, the MVP process could cause the equity exposure of the Fund to fluctuate significantly but it will generally not be lower than 10%. The MVP process would generally not reduce equity exposure during periods of moderate and low market volatility but during periods of extreme market volatility the MVP process could result in Fund equity exposure that is significantly lower than 10%. Due to market conditions or other factors, the actual or realized volatility of the Fund for any particular period of time may be materially higher than the threshold volatility level. The Fund’s threshold volatility level is not a total return performance target. It is possible for the Fund to maintain its volatility at or under its threshold volatility level while having negative performance returns.

Principal Investment Strategies of Acquiring Fund: AZL MVP Balanced Index Strategy Fund The Fund is a fund of funds that, under normal market conditions, seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing approximately 95% of its assets in a combination of five underlying index funds: Underlying Fund Target Allocation AZL Enhanced Bond Index Fund:                            47.5% AZL S&P 500 Index Fund:                                       23.5% AZL International Index Fund:                                  12.5% AZL Mid Cap Index Fund:                                          7.5% AZL Small Cap Stock Index Fund:                             4.0% In addition, under normal market conditions, the Fund will allocate approximately 5% of its assets to the MVP risk management process described below. The AZL Enhanced Bond Index Fund is a bond index fund, subadvised by BlackRock Financial Management, LLC; the other four underlying funds are equity index funds, subadvised by BlackRock Investment Management, LLC. Therefore, under normal market conditions, the Fund will allocate approximately 50% of its assets in the underlying equity index funds and approximately 50% of its assets in the underlying bond index fund. These target allocations represent the Fund’s long-term strategic asset allocation, which is not expected to change under normal market conditions. The investment results of the underlying funds will vary. As a result, the Manager monitors the actual allocations to the underlying funds daily and periodically adjusts the actual allocations to attempt to achieve the target allocation. Generally, the Manager will seek to maintain the actual fund allocations to target using the cash flows that result from shareholders buying or selling shares in the Fund. However, if cash flows were insufficient to maintain the target allocations, the Manager would then buy or sell underlying funds as necessary to attempt to return the Fund’s actual asset allocations to the targets. Generally, the actual allocations will not be more than 10% above or below the targets. The AZL Enhanced Bond Index Fund under normal circumstances invests in a combination of securities with an overall weighting close to the capitalization weights of the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (the “Index”). Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in investment-grade debt securities (those of medium and high quality) of all types and repurchase agreements for those securities. Further, under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of the value of its net assets in securities or other financial instruments that are components of or have economic characteristics similar to the securities included in the Index. The Subadviser of the AZL Enhanced Bond Index Fund uses the Index as a guide in structuring the Fund and selecting its investments and manages the Fund to have similar overall interest rate risk to the Index, with the investment objective of seeking to exceed the total return of the Index. The AZL S&P 500 Index Fund under normal circumstances invests at least 80% of the value of its net assets in the securities of or in a statistically selected sampling of the securities of companies included in the S&P 500 Index or in derivative instruments linked to that Index. The AZL Mid Cap Index Fund under normal circumstances invests at least 80% of the value of its net assets in a statistically selected sampling of equity securities of companies included in the S&P 400 Index and in derivative instruments linked to the S&P 400 Index, primarily futures contracts. The AZL Small Cap Stock Index Fund under normal market conditions invests at least 80% of its assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in investments of small-capitalization companies, which for this purpose are companies with market capitalizations (the total market value of a company’s outstanding stock) at the time of purchase included in the S&P SmallCap 600 Index. The AZL International Index Fund under normal circumstances invests at least 80% of the value of its net assets in a statistically selected sampling of equity securities of companies included in the MSCI EAFE Index and in derivative instruments linked to the MSCI EAFE Index, primarily futures contracts. Under normal market conditions, the Fund will allocate approximately 95% of its assets to the underlying funds described above, and approximately 5% of the Fund’s assets may be invested in equity and/or fixed income futures, such as S&P 500 Index futures and U.S. Treasury futures, which generally are liquid.

Comparison: Both the Acquired Fund and the Acquiring Fund are asset allocation fund of funds.  The Acquired Fund invests primarily in shares of other mutual funds. The Acquiring Fund primarily invests in a combination of five index funds with specific target allocations for how assets will be invested in the underlying funds. The Acquired Fund will allocate 95% of its assets to its underlying funds, which will be allocated approximately 50% to equity funds and 50% to fixed income funds. The Acquiring Fund will allocate 95% of its assets to its underlying funds, which will be allocated approximately 50% to the underlying equity index funds and approximately 50% to the underlying bond index fund. Both the Acquired Fund and Acquiring Fund will allocate approximately 5% of its assets to the MVP risk management process which invests in equity and/or fixed income futures to seek to reduce volatility.

Principal Investment Strategies of Acquired Fund: AZL MVP Fusion Conservative Fund The Fund is a fund of funds that, under normal market conditions, seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing primarily in the shares of other mutual funds managed by the Manager or affiliates of the Manager. The Fund is designed to provide a diversified portfolio consisting of funds in equity and fixed income asset classes. Under normal market conditions, the Fund will allocate approximately 95% of its assets to the underlying funds, which will be allocated approximately 35% to underlying equity funds and 65% to underlying fixed income funds.

Principal Investment Strategies of Acquiring Fund: AZL MVP FIAM Multi-Strategy Fund The Fund is a fund of funds that, under normal market conditions, seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing approximately 95% of its assets in an underlying fund, the AZL Fidelity Institutional Asset Management® Multi-Strategy Fund, managed by the underlying fund’s Subadviser, FIAM LLC. Under normal market conditions, the underlying fund seeks to achieve its objective by investing in a combination of two strategies. Approximately 60% of the underlying fund’s assets will be invested primarily in investment-grade debt securities (the “Fixed-Income Strategy”), and approximately 40% of the underlying fund’s assets will be invested primarily in large cap common stocks (the “Equity Strategy”). The percentage allocations to each strategy will be monitored regularly by the underlying fund’s Manager, but generally will not exceed plus or minus 3% of the 60%/40% allocation. In addition, under normal market conditions, the Fund will allocate approximately 5% of its assets to the MVP risk management process, described below. Under normal market conditions, the Fund will allocate approximately 95% of its assets to the underlying fund.

The Fund’s threshold volatility level is not a total return performance target. It is possible for the Fund to maintain its volatility at or under its threshold volatility level while having negative performance returns. The Underlying Fund’s Fixed-Income Strategy Under normal market conditions, the strategy will invest at least 80% of its net assets in investment-grade debt securities (those of medium and high quality) of all types and repurchase agreements for those securities. Such investments include corporate bonds, U.S. Treasury obligations, U.S. government agency mortgage securities and real estate investment trusts.  A portion of the investments may not be publicly traded. The Subadviser uses the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index as a guide in structuring the strategy and selecting its investments and manages the strategy to have similar overall interest rate risk to the index. The Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index is a broad-based benchmark that measures the investment grade, U.S. dollar-denominated, fixed-rate taxable bond market. The index includes Treasuries, government related and corporate securities, mortgage-backed securities (agency fixed-rate and hybrid ARM pass-throughs), asset-backed securities and commercial mortgage-backed securities (agency and non-agency). The Subadviser considers other factors when selecting strategy investments, including the credit quality of the issuer, security-specific features and the Subadviser’s assessment of whether the investment is undervalued. In managing the strategy’s exposure to various risks, including interest rate risk, the Subadviser considers, among other things, the market’s overall risk characteristics, the market’s current pricing of those risks, and internal views of potential future market conditions. The strategy’s assets may be allocated among different market sectors (for example, corporate, asset-backed, or government securities) and different maturities based on the Subadviser’s view of the relative value of each sector or maturity. The strategy’s assets may be invested in securities of foreign issuers, denominated in U.S. dollars or in local currency, in addition to securities of domestic issuers. The strategy may invest significantly in derivatives instruments, such as interest rate swaps, total return swaps, credit default swaps, and futures contracts (both long and short positions) on securities and indexes, and in forward-settling securities. Such investments may give rise to a form of leverage, particularly when the strategy does not own the assets, instrument or components underlying the derivative instruments. Depending on the Subadviser’s outlook and market conditions, the strategy may invest in derivatives instruments in order to gain exposure to assets, instruments, or indexes, interest rates, or credit qualities. The strategy also may invest up to 20% of its assets in lower-quality debt securities, sometimes called “junk bonds.” To earn additional income for the strategy, the Subadviser may use a trading strategy that involves selling (or buying) mortgage securities and simultaneously agreeing to purchase (or sell) mortgage securities on a later date at a set price. This trading strategy may increase interest rate exposure and result in an increased portfolio turnover rate which increases transaction costs. The Underlying Fund’s Equity Strategy The Subadviser normally invests at least 80% of the strategy’s assets in common stocks included in the S&P 500® Index. The S&P 500® Index is a market capitalization-weighted index of 500 common stocks chosen for market size, liquidity, and industry group representation to represent U.S. equity performance. A company’s market capitalization is based on its current market capitalization or its market capitalization at the time of the Fund’s investment. Companies whose capitalization falls below this level after purchase continue to be considered to have a large market capitalization. The size of the companies in an index changes with market conditions and the composition of the index. The Subadviser will also invest in securities of issuers that are not part of the S&P 500® Index. The Subadviser considers the strategy’s security, industry, and market capitalization weightings relative to the index. In buying and selling securities for the strategy, the Subadviser seeks to outperform the S&P 500® Index by, in general, quantitatively evaluating factors such as historical valuation, momentum, profitability, and other factors. The portfolio managers incorporate these analyses using a proprietary program to construct the optimal portfolio holdings and further manage benchmark relative risks. The portfolio managers will generally attempt to overweight securities with positive characteristics identified in the evaluation process and underweight securities with negative characteristics. The Subadviser may invest the strategy’s assets in securities of foreign issuers in addition to securities of domestic issuers. The Subadviser may also use various techniques, such as buying and selling futures contracts and swaps, to increase or decrease the strategy’s exposure to changing security prices or other factors that affect security values.

The equity strategy will invest at least 80% of the strategy’s assets in common stocks included in the S&P 500® Index. Both the Acquired Fund and the Acquiring Fund will allocate approximately 5% of its assets to the MVP risk management process which invests in equity and/or fixed income futures to seek to reduce volatility.

As a result, the Manager monitors the actual allocations to the underlying funds daily and periodically adjusts the actual allocations to attempt to achieve the target allocation. Generally, the Manager will seek to maintain the actual fund allocations to target using the cash flows that result from contract holders buying or selling shares in the Fund. However, if cash flows were insufficient to maintain the target allocations, the Manager would then buy or sell underlying funds as necessary to attempt to return the Fund’s actual asset allocations to the targets.

The futures strategy, called the MVP risk management process, involves a quantitative analysis and seeks to reduce the volatility of the Fund. Volatility refers to the amount by which the price of an investment can change over a period of time. High volatility indicates that the price has changed significantly, up or down, over a short time period; lower volatility indicates that the price is not changing dramatically, but at a steady pace over a period of time. Generally, higher volatility is considered to be more risky. The goal of the MVP process is to achieve Fund volatility at or below 12% on an annualized basis over a full business cycle by either increasing or decreasing the exposure to equities over time. The Fund seeks to accomplish this primarily by selling equity index futures when markets experience heightened volatility, and by buying equity index futures when markets experience normal or lower levels of volatility. Futures are intended to provide the Manager an effective method to reduce volatility of the Fund and limit the need to decrease or increase allocations to the underlying funds. As a result, the MVP process could cause the equity exposure of the Fund to fluctuate significantly but it will generally not be lower than 10%. The MVP process would generally not reduce equity exposure during periods of moderate and low market volatility but during periods of extreme market volatility the MVP process could result in Fund equity exposure that is significantly lower than 10%. Due to market conditions or other factors, the actual or realized volatility of the Fund for any particular period of time may be materially higher than the threshold volatility level. The Fund’s threshold volatility level is not a total return performance target. It is possible for the Fund to maintain its volatility at or under its threshold volatility level while having negative performance returns.

Principal Investment Strategies of Acquiring Fund: AZL MVP DFA Multi-Strategy Fund The Fund is a fund of funds that, under normal market conditions, seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing approximately 95% of its assets in a combination of four underlying funds, subadvised by Dimensional Fund Advisors LP (the “Subadviser”): Underlying Fund Target Allocation: AZL DFA Five-Year Global Fixed Income Fund: 38% (to be replaced by the AZL Enhanced Bond Index Fund as a result of the Reorganization) AZL DFA U.S. Core Equity Fund: 35% AZL DFA U.S. Small Cap Fund: 10% AZL DFA International Core Equity Fund: 12% In addition, under normal market conditions, the Fund will allocate approximately 5% of its assets to the MVP risk management process, described below. The AZL DFA Five-Year Global Fixed Income Fund is a bond index fund, and the other four underlying funds are equity funds. Therefore, under normal market conditions, the Fund will allocate approximately 60% of its assets in the underlying equity funds and approximately 40% of its assets in the underlying bond fund. These target allocations represent the Fund’s long-term strategic asset allocation, which is not expected to change under normal market conditions. The investment results of the underlying funds will vary. As a result, the Manager monitors the actual allocations to the underlying funds daily and periodically adjusts the actual allocations to attempt to achieve the target allocation. Generally, the Manager will seek to maintain the actual fund allocations to target using the cash flows that result from shareholders buying or selling shares in the Fund. However, if cash flows were insufficient to maintain the target allocations, the Manager would then buy or sell underlying funds as necessary to attempt to return the Fund’s actual asset allocations to the targets. Generally, the actual allocations will not be more than 10% above or below the targets. AZL DFA Five-Year Global Fixed Income Fund seeks to provide a market rate of return for a fixed income portfolio with low relative volatility of returns, and seeks to focus the eligible universe on securities with relatively less expected upward or downward movement in market value. The fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by generally investing in a universe of U.S. and foreign debt securities maturing in five years or less. The fund primarily invests in obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. and foreign governments, their agencies and instrumentalities, corporate debt obligations, bank obligations, commercial paper, repurchase agreements, obligations of other domestic and foreign issuers, securities of domestic or foreign issuers denominated in U.S. dollars but not trading in the United States, and obligations of supranational organizations. At the present time, the Subadviser expects that most investments will be made in the obligations of issuers which are in developed countries. The fixed income securities in which the fund invests are considered investment grade at the time of purchase as rated by at least one major rating agency, or determined by the Subadviser to be of similar quality. Under normal market conditions, the fund intends to invest its assets to gain exposure to issuers of at least three different countries, one of which may be the United States. An issuer may be considered to be of a country if it is organized, has substantial assets, or derives substantial operating income in that country. As a non-fundamental policy, under normal circumstances, the fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets in fixed income securities that mature within five years from the date of settlement. AZL DFA U.S. Core Equity Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation. The fund purchases a broad and diverse group of securities of U.S. companies. The fund invests in companies of all sizes, with increased exposure to smaller capitalization, lower relative price and/or higher profitability companies as compared to their representation in the U.S. Universe. The Subadviser generally defines the U.S. Universe as a market capitalization weighted set (e.g., the larger the company, the greater the proportion of the U.S. Universe it represents) of U.S. operating companies listed on a securities exchange in the United States that is deemed appropriate by the Subadviser. Under normal circumstances, the fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets in equity securities of U.S. companies. AZL DFA U.S. Small Cap Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation. The fund, using a market capitalization weighted approach, purchases a broad and diverse group of readily marketable securities of U.S. small-cap companies. A company’s market capitalization is the number of its shares outstanding times its price per share. In general, the higher the relative market capitalization of the U.S. small-cap company, the greater its representation in the fund. Under normal circumstances, the fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets in securities of small-cap U.S. companies. AZL DFA International Core Equity Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation. The fund purchases a broad and diverse group of securities of non-U.S. companies in developed markets. The fund invests in companies of all sizes, with increased exposure to smaller capitalization, lower relative price and/or higher profitability companies as compared to their representation in the International Universe. For purposes of this fund, the Subadviser defines the International Universe as a market capitalization weighted set (e.g., the larger the company, the greater the proportion of the International Universe it represents) of non-U.S. companies in developed markets that have been authorized as approved markets for investment by the Subadviser’s Investment Committee. Under normal circumstances, the fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets in equity securities. Under normal market conditions, the Fund will allocate approximately 95% of its assets to the underlying funds described above, and approximately 5% of the Fund’s assets may be invested in equity and/or fixed income futures, such as S&P 500 Index futures and U.S. Treasury futures, which generally are liquid. The futures strategy, called the MVP risk management process, involves a quantitative analysis and seeks to reduce the volatility of the Fund. Volatility refers to the amount by which the price of an investment can change over a period of time. High volatility indicates that the price has changed significantly, up or down, over a short time period; lower volatility indicates that the price is not changing dramatically, but at a steady pace over a period of time. Generally, higher volatility is considered to be more risky. The goal of the MVP process is to achieve Fund volatility at or below 12% on an annualized basis over a full business cycle by either increasing or decreasing the exposure to equities over time. The Fund seeks to accomplish this primarily by selling equity index futures when markets experience heightened volatility, and by buying equity index futures when markets experience normal or lower levels of volatility. Futures are intended to provide the Manager an effective method to reduce volatility of the Fund and limit the need to decrease or increase allocations to the underlying funds. As a result, the MVP process could cause the equity exposure of the Fund to fluctuate significantly but it will generally not be lower than 10%. The MVP process would generally not reduce equity exposure during periods of moderate and low market volatility but during periods of extreme market volatility the MVP process could result in Fund equity exposure that is significantly lower than 10%. Due to market conditions or other factors, the actual or realized volatility of the Fund for any particular period of time may be materially higher than the threshold volatility level. The Fund’s threshold volatility level is not a total return performance target. It is possible for the Fund to maintain its volatility at or under its threshold volatility level while having negative performance returns.

Comparison: Both the Acquired Fund and the Acquiring Fund are asset allocation fund of funds.  The Acquired Fund invests primarily in shares of other mutual funds. The Acquiring Fund primarily invests in a combination of four funds with specific allocations on how assets will be invested in the underlying funds. The Acquired Fund will allocate 95% of its assets to its underlying funds, which will be allocated approximately 60% to equity funds and 40% to fixed income funds. The Acquiring Fund will allocate 95% of its assets to its underlying funds, which will be allocated approximately 60% to the underlying equity funds and approximately 40% of to the underlying bond fund. Both the Acquired Fund and the Acquiring Fund will allocate approximately 5% of its assets to the MVP risk management process which invests in equity and/or fixed income futures.
