VSSGX Investment Objective and Strategy

Small-Mid Growth Fund describes its objective and strategy as follows, from its latest prospectus filed with the SEC by VALIC Co I.

Investment objective

The Fund seeks capital growth by investing primarily in common stocks.

Principal investment strategy

The Fund pursues its investment objective by investing primarily in common stocks selected for their growth potential. In pursuing that objective, under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in equity securities of small- and mid-cap companies located in domestic (U.S.) markets. Generally, small- and mid-cap companies include companies whose market capitalizations, at the time of purchase, are within the range of the market capitalizations of companies constituting the Russell 2000 Growth Index and the Russell Midcap Growth Index. If the market capitalization of a company held by the Fund subsequently moves outside of this range, the Fund is not required to sell the companys securities. As of May 11, 2018, the market capitalization ranges of companies in the Russell 2000 Growth Index and the Russell Midcap Growth Index were between $159.2 million and $9 billion and $2.35 billion and $36.555 billion, respectively.

In order to generate additional income, the Fund may lend portfolio securities to broker-dealers and other financial institutions provided that the value of the loaned securities does not exceed 30% of the Funds total assets. These loans earn income for the Fund and are collateralized by cash, securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or its agencies or instrumentalities, and such other securities as the Fund and the securities lending agent may agree upon. Investors will be given at least 60 days written notice in advance of any change to the Funds 80% investment policy set forth above.
