The example also assumes that your has a 5% return each year that the fund s operating expenses remain the same. The example does not reflect insurance contract expenses. If insurance contract expenses were reflected, expenses shown would be higher. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be: 1 year 3 years 5 years 10 years Class 2 $90 $281 $488 $1,084 Portfolio turnover The fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys sells securities (or turns over its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the fund s results. During the most recent fiscal year, the fund s portfolio turnover rate was 41% of the average value of its portfolio. Principal strategies The fund invests primarily in common stocks of well-established companies around the world, which the adviser believes have the potential for growth /or to pay dividends. As a fund that seeks to invest globally, the fund will allocate its s among securities of companies domiciled in various countries, including the United States countries with emerging markets (but in no fewer than three countries). Under normal market conditions, the fund will invest significantly in issuers domiciled outside the United States (i.e., at least 40% of its net s, unless market conditions are not deemed favorable by the fund s adviser, in which case the fund would invest at least 30% of its net s in issuers outside the United States). The fund is designed for investors seeking both capital appreciation. In pursuing its objective, the fund tends to invest in stocks that the adviser believes to be relatively resilient to market declines. The adviser uses a system of multiple portfolio managers in managing the fund s s. Under this approach, the portfolio of the fund is divided into segments managed by individual managers who decide how their respective segments will be invested. The fund relies on the professional judgment of its adviser to make decisions about the fund s portfolio s. The basic philosophy of the adviser is to seek to invest in attractively valued companies that, in its opinion, represent good, long-term opportunities. The adviser believes that an important way to accomplish this is through fundamental analysis, which may include meeting with company executives employees, suppliers, customers competitors. Securities may be sold when the adviser believes that they no longer represent relatively attractive opportunities. 1 American Funds Insurance Series / Prospectus

13 Management The adviser to the fund actively manages the fund s s. Consequently, the fund is subject to the risk that the methods analyses employed by the adviser in this process may not produce the desired results. This could cause the fund to lose value or its results to lag relevant benchmarks or other funds with similar objectives. The following are certain additional risks associated with the fund s strategies. Investing in small companies Investing in smaller companies may pose additional risks. For example, it is often more difficult to value or dispose of small company stocks more difficult to obtain information about smaller companies than about larger companies. Furthermore, smaller companies often have limited product lines, operating histories, markets /or financial resources, may be dependent on one or a few key persons for management, can be more susceptible to losses. Moreover, the prices of their stocks may be more volatile than stocks of larger, more established companies. Exposure to country, region, industry or sector Subject to the fund s limitations, the fund may have significant exposure to a particular country, region, industry or sector. Such exposure may cause the fund to be more impacted by risks relating to the country, region, industry or sector than a fund without such levels of exposure. For example, if the fund has significant exposure in a particular country, then social, economic, regulatory or other issues that negatively affect that country may have a greater impact on the fund than on a fund that is more geographically diversified. Liquidity risk Certain fund holdings may be deemed to be less liquid or illiquid because they cannot be readily sold without significantly impacting the value of the holdings. Liquidity risk may result from the lack of an active market for a holding, legal or contractual restrictions on resale, or the reduced number capacity of market participants to make a market in such holding. Market prices for less liquid or illiquid holdings may be volatile, reduced liquidity may have an adverse impact on the market price of such holdings. Additionally, the sale of less liquid or illiquid holdings may involve substantial delays (including delays in settlement) additional costs the fund may be unable to sell such holdings when necessary to meet its liquidity needs. In addition to the principal strategies described above, the fund has other practices that are described in the statement of additional information, which includes a description of other risks related to the fund s principal strategies other practices. The fund s results will depend on the ability of the fund s adviser to navigate the risks discussed above as well as those described in the statement of additional information.
