THE AIG MERGER AND THE NEW INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND SUBADVISORY AGREEMENTS On August 29, 2001, American International Group, Inc. ("AIG") acquired American General Corporation ("American General"), the parent company of AGAM and AGIM (the "AIG Merger"). As a result of the AIG Merger, AGAM and AGIM became subsidiaries of AIG. AIG is also the parent company of SunAmerica Asset Management Corp. ("SAAMCo"). As a result of the AIG Merger, applicable law requires shareholder approval of a new investment advisory agreement (the "New Investment Advisory Agreement") with AGAM for your Fund, and approval of a new subadvisory agreement (the "New Subadvisory Agreement") between AGAM and New AGIM, to allow them to continue to serve your Fund after the AIG Merger. The New Investment Advisory and New Subadvisory Agreements are collectively referred to as the "New Agreements." The terms of the New Investment Advisory Agreement and New Subadvisory Agreement are the same in all material respects as your Fund's previous investment advisory agreement with AGAM (the "Previous Investment Advisory Agreement") and previous subadvisory agreement (the "Previous Subadvisory Agreement"). See "Proposal No. 1(a): New Investment Advisory Agreement--Description of the New Investment Advisory Agreement" below for a description of the New Investment Advisory Agreement and the services to be provided by AGAM thereunder, and "Proposal No. 1(b): The New Subadvisory Agreement--Description of the New Subadvisory Agreement" below for a description of the New Subadvisory Agreement and the services to be provided by New AGIM thereunder. In connection with its approval of the New Investment Advisory and New Subadvisory Agreements, the NAF Board received a presentation relating to AIG and SAAMCo, as well as a presentation from AGAM. The NAF Board considered that the AIG Merger did not involve any changes in the overall form of the advisory or subadvisory contracts, the advisory fees, or any of the Acquired Funds' objectives or policies. The NAF Board also considered that AGAM and SAAMCo had indicated that while they intended to propose the Reorganizations to the NAF Board at a subsequent meeting until such Reorganizations were approved and consummated, SAAMCo and AIG represented there would be no material change in the nature and quality of services provided by AGAM and New AGIM. As part of its deliberations, the NAF Board took into account the following, among other factors: the nature and quality of the services provided or reasonably anticipated to be provided and the results achieved or reasonably anticipated to be achieved by AGAM and/or New AGIM; the amount and structure of investment advisers' fees generally and the fees payable under the New Agreements; the financial strength of AIG; the management, personnel and operations of AIG and SAAMCo; the commitment of AIG to the financial services industry; and the structure of the AIG Merger. In addition, the NAF Board considered the fact that at some point after consummation of the AIG Merger, the operations of AGIM might be consolidated with those of another affiliate within the AIG member companies to eliminate duplication and attempt to create economies of scale within the organization. The NAF Board was assured that any such internal reorganization would not result in a change in the personnel responsible for providing services to the applicable Acquired Fund or in the nature or quality of those services. Accordingly, the NAF Board approved each of the Interim Subadvisory Agreement and the New Subadvisory Agreement with AGIM or an affiliate that may in the future conduct the advisory business previously conducted by AGIM (previously defined collectively as "New AGIM"). 3 AGAM and AGIM are wholly owned subsidiaries of American General. Prior to the AIG Merger, American General was a part of one of the nation's largest diversified financial services organizations with assets of approximately $128 billion and market capitalization of $23 billion at June 30, 2001. SAAMCo is the investment adviser for the Acquiring Funds. SAAMCo has been in the business of investment management since 1982 and as of June 30, 2001, managed, advised and/or administered approximately $28.5 billion of assets. AIG, SAAMCo's parent, a Delaware corporation, is a holding company which through its subsidiaries is engaged in a broad range of insurance and insurance-related activities and financial services in the United States and abroad. THE REORGANIZATIONS What Shareholders of an Acquired Fund Will Receive in a Reorganization If shareholders approve their Fund's Reorganization and the Reorganization takes place: .The Acquiring Fund will acquire substantially all of the assets and assume substantially all of the liabilities of the Acquired Fund; .Shareholders of the Acquired Fund will become shareholders of the Acquiring Fund; .Shareholders holding Class A, Class B, Class C and Institutional Class I shares, if any, of the Acquired Fund will receive Class A, Class B, Class II and Class I shares, respectively, of the Acquiring Fund (the "Corresponding Shares"); and .Corresponding Shares received by shareholders of the Acquired Fund will have the same aggregate net asset value as the shares of the Acquired Fund held immediately prior to the Reorganization. Each Reorganization has been structured with the intention that it qualify for Federal income tax purposes as a tax-free reorganization under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). This means that, in the opinion of counsel, no gain or loss will be recognized by a shareholder of an Acquired Fund for Federal income tax purposes as a result of a Reorganization. Reasons for the Reorganizations On August 2, 2001, the NAF Board unanimously approved each Reorganization, subject to shareholder approval and completion of the AIG Merger. The NAF Board, including all of the NAF Independent Trustees (as defined below), has determined that each Reorganization is in the best interests of the respective Acquired Fund and its shareholders. In addition, the NAF Board, including all of the NAF Independent Trustees, has determined that the interests of existing shareholders of each Acquired Fund will not be diluted as a result of effecting the respective Reorganization because each such shareholder will receive Corresponding Shares of the Acquiring Fund having an aggregate net asset value equal to the aggregate net asset value of his or her shares of the Acquired Fund outstanding as of the Valuation Time (as defined in the Plans). Although, as a result of the Reorganizations, a shareholder of the Combined Fund may receive Corresponding Shares which represent a smaller percentage of ownership in the respective Acquiring Fund than he or she held in the Acquired Fund prior to the respective Reorganization, the total dollar value of the shares will remain the same; in addition, an Acquired Fund shareholder should end up with the same number of shares because the Funds all seek to maintain a price per share of $1.00. The NAF Independent Trustees are the Trustees who are not "interested persons" of North American Funds (within the meaning of the Investment Company Act). 4 The NAF Board unanimously recommends that you vote FOR the Plan relating to the Reorganization involving your Fund. Your Board of Trustees has based this recommendation on its consideration of the principal reasons underlying each Reorganization, including the following: .the fact that following each Reorganization, shareholders of each Acquired Fund would remain invested in a mutual fund having substantially the same investment objective and similar investment techniques; .the fees and expenses of the Acquired Funds, the Acquiring Funds and the Combined Funds; .fee waivers and expense reimbursements currently in place and the possibility of their termination; .potential benefits to shareholders likely to result from each Reorganization, such as allowing Class A shareholders to avoid sales charges on exchanges and to "tack" their holding periods for purposes of Class B exchanges and contingent deferred sales charge calculations; and .the fact that the Reorganizations will not result in dilution of the interests of Acquired Fund shareholders. For a more detailed discussion of the factors considered by your Board in approving the Reorganizations, see "Proposals Nos. 2(a)-(b): Approval of the Plans--The Reorganizations" below. If all of the requisite approvals are obtained and certain conditions are either met or waived, it is anticipated that (i) AGAM will continue to serve as the investment adviser, and New AGIM will continue to serve as subadviser, of the Acquired Funds until the closing of the Reorganizations (which is currently anticipated to occur during the fourth calendar quarter of 2001), (ii) the Reorganizations will occur as soon as practicable thereafter, provided that the Funds have obtained prior to that time an opinion of counsel concerning the tax consequences of the Reorganizations as set forth in the Plans, and (iii) after the consummation of the Reorganizations, SAAMCo will manage the assets of the Acquired Funds as part of the Combined Funds, and New AGIM will serve as subadviser to the Municipal Money Market Combined Fund. The Plans may be terminated, and the Reorganizations abandoned, whether before or after the requisite approval by the shareholders of the Acquired Funds, at any time prior to the Closing Date (as defined herein), (i) by mutual agreement of the NAF Board and the Board of Directors of SunAmerica Money Market Funds, Inc. (the "SunAmerica Board"); (ii) by an Acquired Fund if any condition to such Acquired Fund's obligations has not been fulfilled or waived; or (iii) by an Acquiring Fund if any condition to such Acquiring Fund's obligations has not been fulfilled or waived. 5 FEE TABLES AND EXAMPLES Actual Fee Table for Shareholders of each of the Acquired Funds+ and each of the Acquiring Funds (as of December 31, 2000) and Pro Forma Fee Table for each of the Combined Funds (as of June 30, 2001)*

6 ------- + As reflected in the Acquired Funds Prospectuses. * "Other Expenses," "Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses Before Expense Reimbursement" and "Expense Reimbursement" have been estimated for the Money Market Combined Fund. ** The Money Market Combined Fund will commence offering Class I shares upon completion of the applicable Reorganization. (1) Class A, Class B and Class C shares of an Acquired Fund are not subject to a contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC") and the respective Corresponding Shares received in the applicable Reorganization by shareholders of a Combined Fund who were shareholders of the respective Acquired Fund as of the date of the closing of such Reorganization will not be subject to a CDSC either. Future purchases of Class A, Class B or Class II shares of a Combined Fund will be subject to the CDSC schedule applicable to the Combined Fund. With respect to the Acquiring Funds (and to future purchases of Class A, Class B or Class II shares of the Combined Funds after the closing of the Reorganizations), (i) purchases of Class A shares of $1 million or more are subject to a CDSC on redemptions made within two years of purchase (1.00% on shares sold within one year of purchase and 0.50% on shares sold after the first year and within the second year after purchase) if the original purchase was Class A of another SunAmerica Mutual Fund which you subsequently exchanged into shares of an Acquiring Fund, (ii) the CDSC on Class B shares applies only if shares are redeemed within six years of their purchase in accordance with the Acquiring Funds' CDSC schedule set forth under "Proposals No. 2(a)-(b): Approval of the Plans" and (iii) the CDSC on Class II shares applies only if shares are redeemed within eighteen months of their purchase. See the Acquiring Funds Prospectus for more information about the CDSCs applicable to the Acquiring Funds and the Combined Funds. (2) In the case of the Acquiring Funds (and hence the Combined Funds) a $15.00 fee may be imposed on wire and overnight mail redemptions. (3) Because these fees are paid out of a Fund's assets on an ongoing basis, over time these fees will increase the cost of your investment and may cost you more than paying other types of sales charges. (4) With respect to each Acquired Fund, amounts reflect AGAM's contractual obligation to waive, and to the extent necessary, reimburse certain fees and expenses of such Acquired Fund through February 28, 2002. If shareholders do not approve the Reorganizations, there is no assurance AGAM would continue to provide such fee reductions and expense reimbursements past such date. (5) With respect to certain classes of the Acquiring Funds and the Combined Funds, the SunAmerica Board, including a majority of the Directors who are not "interested persons" of SunAmerica Money Market Funds, Inc., within the meaning of Section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act (the "SunAmerica Independent Directors"), approved the Acquiring Funds' (and hence the Combined Funds') Investment Advisory and Management Agreement with SAAMCo subject to the net expense ratios set forth above. SAAMCo may not increase such ratios, which are contractually required by an agreement with the SunAmerica Board, without the approval of the SunAmerica Board, including a majority of the SunAmerica Independent Directors. The expense waivers and fee reimbursements will continue indefinitely, subject to termination by the SunAmerica Board, including a majority of the SunAmerica Independent Directors. (6) SAAMCo is voluntarily waiving fees and/or reimbursing so that the total net expense ratio of Class II shares of the SunAmerica Money Market Fund does not exceed 1.76%. These waivers and reimbursements will continue indefinitely, but may be terminated at any time. The foregoing Fee Table is intended to assist investors in understanding the costs and expenses that a shareholder of an Acquired Fund bears directly or indirectly as compared to the costs and expenses that would be borne by such investors on a pro forma basis taking into account the consummation of the Reorganizations. All pro forma amounts are based on what the estimated expenses of the Pro Forma Combined Fund would be assuming the Reorganizations were completed on June 30, 2001. 7 These examples are intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Money Market Funds with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. Examples An investor would pay the following expenses on a $10,000 investment, assuming (1) the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses set forth in the table above for the relevant Fund and (2) a 5% annual return throughout the period.

-------- * Assuming the Reorganization had taken place on June 30, 2001. (1) Expenses used for the Example include fee waivers and expense reimbursements described in footnotes (4) and/or (5) above under "--Fee Tables." (2) SAAMCo is voluntarily waiving fees and/or reimbursing expenses for Class II shares of the Money Market Combined Fund. However, this fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement is not reflected in the 8 example above. The following are your costs after these fees waivers and/or expense reimbursements: $377, $649, $1,045 and $2,152 for the periods of one year, three years, five years and ten years, respectively. (3) SAAMCo is voluntarily waiving fees and/or reimbursing expenses for Class II shares of the Money Market Combined Fund. However, this fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement is not reflected in the example above. The following are your costs after these fees waivers and/or expense reimbursements: $277, $649, $1,045 and $2,152 for the periods of one year, three years, five years and ten years, respectively. Such voluntary fee waivers and expense reimbursements may be terminated at any time at the option of SAAMCo. (4) Class B shares generally convert to Class A shares approximately eight years after purchase. Therefore, expense information for years 9 and 10 is the same for both Class A and Class B shares. The Examples set forth above assume reinvestment of all dividends and distributions and utilize a 5% annual rate of return as mandated by Commission regulations. The Examples should not be considered a representation of past or future expenses or annual rates of return, and actual expenses or annual rates of return may be more or less than those assumed for purposes of the Examples.

---- + As reflected in the Acquired Funds Prospectuses. * "Other Expenses," "Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses Before Expense Reimbursement" and "Expense Reimbursement" have been estimated for the SunAmerica Municipal Money Market Fund and the Municipal Money Market Combined Fund. (1) Class A, Class B and Class C shares of an Acquired Fund are not subject to a CDSC and the respective Corresponding Shares received in the applicable Reorganization by shareholders of a Combined Fund who were shareholders of the respective Acquired Fund as of the date of the closing of such Reorganization will not be subject to a CDSC either. Future purchases of Class A, Class B or Class II shares of a Combined Fund will be subject to the CDSC schedule applicable to the Combined Fund. With respect to the Acquiring Funds (and to future purchases of Class A, Class B or Class II shares of the Combined Funds after the closing of the Reorganizations), (i) purchases of Class A shares of $1 million or more are subject to a CDSC on redemptions made within two years of purchase (1.00% on shares sold within one year of purchase and 0.50% on shares sold after the first year and within the second year after purchase) if the original purchase was Class A of another SunAmerica Mutual Fund which you subsequently exchanged into shares of an Acquiring Fund, (ii) the CDSC on Class B shares applies only if shares are redeemed within six years of their purchase in accordance with the Acquiring Funds' CDSC schedule set forth under "Proposals No. 2(a)-(b): Approval of the Plans--Comparison of the Funds--Purchase, Exchange and Redemption of Shares" and (iii) the CDSC on Class II shares applies only if shares are redeemed within eighteen months of their purchase. See the Acquiring Funds Prospectus for more information about the CDSCs applicable to the Acquiring Funds and the Combined Funds. 10 (2) In the case of the Acquiring Funds (and hence the Combined Funds) a $15.00 fee may be imposed on wire and overnight mail redemptions. (3) Because these fees are paid out of a Fund's assets on an ongoing basis, over time these fees will increase the cost of your investment and may cost you more than paying other types of sales charges. (4) With respect to each Acquired Fund, amounts reflect AGAM's contractual obligation to waive, and to the extent necessary, reimburse certain fees and expenses of such Acquired Fund through February 28, 2002. If shareholders do not approve the Reorganizations, there is no assurance AGAM would continue to provide such fee reductions and expense reimbursements past such date. (5) With respect to certain classes of the Acquiring Funds and the Combined Funds, the SunAmerica Board, including a majority of the SunAmerica Independent Directors, approved the Acquiring Funds' (and hence the Combined Funds') Investment Advisory and Management Agreement with SAAMCo subject to the net expense ratios set forth above. SAAMCo may not increase such ratios, which are contractually required by an agreement with the SunAmerica Board, without the approval of the SunAmerica Board, including a majority of the SunAmerica Independent Directors. The expense waivers and fee reimbursements will continue indefinitely, subject to termination by the SunAmerica Board, including a majority of the SunAmerica Independent Directors. The foregoing Fee Table is intended to assist investors in understanding the costs and expenses that a shareholder of an Acquired Fund bears directly or indirectly as compared to the costs and expenses that would be borne by such investors on a pro forma basis taking into account the consummation of the Reorganizations. All pro forma amounts are based on what the estimated expenses of the Pro Forma Combined Fund would be assuming the Reorganizations were completed on June 30, 2001. 11 These examples are intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Municipal Money Market Funds with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. Examples An investor would pay the following expenses on a $10,000 investment, assuming (1) the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses set forth in the table above for the relevant Fund and (2) a 5% annual return throughout the period.

See "Proposals Nos. 2(a)-(b): Approval of the Plans." 12 THE FUNDS Business of the Acquired Funds Each Acquired Fund is organized as a separate investment portfolio or series of North American Funds, a Massachusetts business trust, which was established on September 28, 1988 pursuant to its Declaration of Trust. Each Acquired Fund is diversified within the meaning of the Investment Company Act. Business of the Acquiring Funds Each Acquiring Fund is organized as a separate investment portfolio or series of SunAmerica Money Market Funds, Inc., a Maryland corporation, which was incorporated on July 20, 1983. The SunAmerica Municipal Money Market Fund is newly created and has not yet commenced operations. Each Acquiring Fund is diversified within the meaning of the Investment Company Act. Comparison of the Funds A discussion of the investment objectives and principal investment policies of the Funds is set forth below. Those objectives and policies that are identified as fundamental may not be changed without shareholder approval. Money Market Funds Investment Objectives Both Money Market Funds have substantially similar investment objectives. The investment objective of the NAF Money Market Fund is to obtain maximum current income consistent with preservation of principal and liquidity. The investment objective of the SunAmerica Money Market Fund is to seek as high a level of current income as is consistent with liquidity and stability of capital. The NAF Money Market Fund's investment objective is a fundamental policy, while SunAmerica Money Market Fund's investment objective is a nonfundamental policy. Principal Investment Strategies Both Money Market Funds also have substantially similar principal investment strategies. The NAF Money Market Fund tries to achieve its investment objective by investing in short-term money market securities to provide liquidity, protection of investment and current income. The SunAmerica Money Market Fund tries to achieve its investment objective by investing primarily in high- quality money market instruments selected principally on the basis of quality and yield. In accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act ("Rule 2a-7"), both Funds must limit their investments to securities that mature in 13 months or less and both Funds must have a dollar weighted average portfolio maturity of 90 days or less. In addition, Rule 2a-7 imposes certain requirements as to the quality of the instruments that each Fund may hold. Municipal Money Market Funds Investment Objectives Both Municipal Money Market Funds have substantially similar investment objectives. The investment objective of the NAF Municipal Money Market Fund is to seek liquidity, protection of capital and current income through investments in short-term money market securities that are exempt from regular federal income taxation. The investment objective of the SunAmerica Municipal Money Market Fund is to seek as high a level of current income as is consistent with liquidity and stability of capital and that is exempt from regular federal income taxation. The investment objectives of both Municipal Money Market Funds are nonfundamental policies. 13 Principal Investment Strategies The SunAmerica Municipal Money Market Fund will operate as the successor to the NAF Municipal Money Market Fund and both Funds have substantially similar principal investment strategies. The NAF Municipal Money Market Fund tries to achieve its investment objective by investing in short-term money market securities to provide liquidity, protection of investment and current income that is exempt from regular federal income tax. The SunAmerica Municipal Money Market Fund tries to achieve its investment objective by investing primarily in high-quality money market instruments selected primarily on the basis of quality and yield that are exempt from regular federal income tax. Under normal conditions, both Funds invest at least 80% of their total assets in municipal securities which pay income exempt from federal income taxes. Both Funds are subject to the requirements of Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act. Both Funds may invest in private activity bonds. Federal tax law imposes an alternative minimum tax ("AMT") with respect to both corporations and individuals based on certain items of tax preference. Interest on certain municipal obligations, generally including private activity bonds issued after August 7, 1986, is treated as a tax preference item for purposes of the AMT. In addition, corporate shareholders must include the full amount of exempt- interest dividends in computing the preference items for purposes of the AMT on corporations. All Funds Principal Risk Factors For a discussion of the principal risks of investing in each Fund, see "Principal Risk Factors and Special Considerations." Trustees, Directors and Officers North American Funds is governed by a Board of Trustees (a "Board"). SunAmerica Money Market Funds, Inc. is governed by a Board of Directors (a "Board" and, together with the Board of Trustees, the "Boards"). Each Board meets regularly to review its respective Funds' investments, performance, expenses, and other business affairs. Each Board elects its respective Funds' officers. Management Arrangements Comparison of Management and Administrative Arrangements and Fees. AGAM serves as the investment adviser for the Acquired Funds and SAAMCo serves as the investment adviser for the Acquiring Funds. Each of AGAM and SAAMCo is responsible for the management of the investment portfolio of each Acquired Fund and Acquiring Fund, respectively, and for providing certain administrative services to such Fund. See "Proposals Nos. 2(a)-(b): Approval of the Plans-- Comparison of the Funds--Management Arrangements--Comparison of Management and Administrative Arrangements and Fees" for more detailed information regarding the advisory arrangements of the Funds. The table below sets forth the fees, as a percentage of average daily net assets, payable by each Acquired Fund and Acquiring Fund to AGAM and SAAMCo, respectively, for their management and administrative services:
Fund: Advisory Fee: ----- ------------- NAF Money Market Fund 0.20% up to $500 million and 0.145% on excess over $500 million SunAmerica Money Market Fund 0.50% up to $600 million, 0.45% on the next $900 million and 0.40% on excess over $1.5 billion NAF Municipal Money Market Fund 0.35% SunAmerica Municipal Money Market Fund 0.35%
14 The advisory fee rate payable by the Money Market Combined Fund after consummation of the Money Market Funds Reorganization will be the same as the advisory fee rate payable by the SunAmerica Money Market Fund and higher than the advisory fee rate payable by the NAF Money Market Fund. The advisory fee rate payable by the Municipal Money Market Combined Fund after consummation of the Municipal Money Market Funds Reorganization will be the same as the advisory fee rate payable by the NAF Municipal Money Market Fund. The table below sets forth the pro forma effective fee rate of each Combined Fund as of June 30, 2001, as a percentage of average daily net assets, assuming the Reorganizations had been completed as of such date:
Combined Fund: Pro Forma Effective Advisory Fee Rate: -------------- -------------------------------------- Combined Money Market Fund 0.48% Combined Municipal Money Market Fund 0.35%
Investment Advisory Agreements. The investment advisory agreement between SunAmerica Money Market Funds, Inc. on behalf of the Acquiring Funds and SAAMCo (the "SunAmerica Investment Advisory Agreement") is similar to both the New and Previous Investment Advisory Agreements applicable to the Acquired Funds (collectively, the "NAF Investment Advisory Agreement"), except for certain matters including the advisory fees, the effective dates, and the identity of the adviser. See "Proposals Nos. 2(a)-(b): Approval of the Plans" for further discussion regarding these agreements. Subadvisory Arrangements. New AGIM currently serves as subadviser to each of the Acquired Funds. After the Municipal Money Market Funds Reorganization, New AGIM will serve as the subadviser to the Municipal Money Market Combined Fund pursuant to a new subadvisory agreement with SAAMCo (the "SunAmerica Subadvisory Agreement"). The SunAmerica Subadvisory Agreement is similar to both the New and Previous Subadvisory Agreements applicable to the NAF Municipal Money Market Fund (collectively, the "NAF Subadvisory Agreement") except for certain matters including the effective dates and the identity of the subadviser. See "Proposals Nos. 2(a)-(b): Approval of the Plans" for further discussion regarding these agreements. Distribution and Shareholder Servicing Arrangements Distributor. American General Funds Distributors, Inc. ("AGFD" or the "NAF Distributor"), an affiliate of AGAM, acts as the distributor of the shares of the Acquired Funds. SunAmerica Capital Services, Inc. ("SACS" or the "SunAmerica Distributor"), an affiliate of SAAMCo, acts as the distributor of the shares of the Acquiring Funds. See "Proposals Nos. 2(a)-(b): Approval of the Plans" for additional information regarding the Funds' distribution arrangements. Shareholder Servicing Fees for Class I. AGAM provides certain recordkeeping and shareholder services to retirement and employee benefit plans and certain asset allocation funds of North American Funds that invest in Institutional Class I shares of the NAF Money Market Fund. SACS will provide these services after the Reorganization with respect to Class I shares of the Money Market Combined Fund. See "Proposals Nos. 2(a)-(b), Approval of the Plans" for additional information regarding these services. Other Service Agreements with Affiliates SunAmerica Fund Services, Inc. ("SAFS"), an affiliate of SAAMCo, acts as a servicing agent assisting State Street Bank and Trust Company ("State Street"), the transfer agent and custodian of the Acquiring Funds, in connection with certain services offered to the shareholders of the Acquiring Funds. See "Proposals Nos. 2(a)-(b): Approval of the Plans" for additional information regarding these service agreements. Other Shares. As with all mutual funds, investors purchase shares when they invest in the Funds. Share certificates are not generally issued. 15 Each full share and fractional share entitles the shareholder to receive a proportional interest in the respective Fund's capital gain distributions and to cast one vote per share, with fractional shares voting proportionally, on certain Fund matters, including the election of Trustees/Directors, changes in fundamental policies, or approval of changes in investment advisory agreements. The table below sets forth the share classes currently offered by each of the Acquired Funds and the Acquiring Funds and the shares classes that will be offered by the Combined Funds after consummation of the respective Reorganizations.

Purchase of Shares. The procedures for purchasing shares are similar, but not identical, for all Funds. See "Proposals Nos. 2(a)-(b): Approval of the Plans" below, "Investing in the North American Funds" in the Acquired Funds Prospectuses and "Shareholder Account Information" in the Acquiring Funds Prospectus. Exchanges of Shares. The procedures for exchanging shares are similar, but not identical, for all Funds. See "Proposals Nos. 2(a)-(b): Approval of the Plans" below, "Account Services" and "Section III: Investing in the North American Funds Institutional Classes of Shares" in the Acquired Funds Prospectuses and "Exchange Privilege" in the Acquiring Funds Prospectus. Redemption of Shares. The procedures for redeeming shares are similar, but not identical, for all Funds. See "Proposals Nos. 2(a)-(b): Approval of the Plans" below, "Investing in the North American Funds" in the Acquired Funds Prospectuses and "Shareholder Account Information" in the Acquiring Funds Prospectus. Dividends. The Funds currently have the same policies with respect to dividends. See "Proposals Nos. 2(a)-(b): Approval of the Plans" below, "Pricing of Shares" and "Dividends and Distributions from North American Funds" in the Acquired Funds Prospectuses and "Dividend Distribution and Account Policies" in the Acquiring Funds Prospectus. Net Asset Value. The price at which each Fund's shares are purchased or redeemed is the Fund's next determined net asset value per share after receipt of the purchase or redemption order. The net asset value per share is calculated once daily as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") (currently 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time). For further discussion on net asset value and how it is determined, see "Proposals Nos. 2(a)-(b): Approval of the Plans" below, "Pricing of Fund Shares" in the Acquired Funds Prospectuses and "Determination of Net Asset Value" in the Acquiring Funds Prospectus. Tax Considerations. The tax consequences associated with an investment in shares of an Acquired Fund are substantially the same as the tax consequences associated with an investment in shares of the respective Acquiring Fund. See "Taxes" in the Acquired Funds Prospectuses and "Dividend, Distribution and Account Policies" in the Acquiring Funds Prospectus. Each Reorganization has been structured with the intention that it qualify for Federal income tax purposes as a tax-free reorganization under the Code. This means that, in the opinion of counsel, no gain or loss will be recognized by a shareholder of an Acquired Fund for Federal income tax purposes as a result of a Reorganization. For a more detailed discussion regarding potential tax consequences of the Reorganizations, see "Proposals Nos. 2(a)-(b): Approval of the Plans." 16 PRINCIPAL RISK FACTORS AND SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS PRINCIPAL RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE FUNDS All of the investment risks associated with an investment in an Acquired Fund are the same as those associated with an investment in the respective Acquiring Fund. A discussion of the principal risks of investing in the Funds is set forth below. See the Acquired Funds Prospectuses, the Acquiring Funds Prospectus, the Acquired Funds Statement and the Acquiring Funds Statement for more detailed discussions of investment risks associated with an investment in the Funds. There is no guarantee that the investment objective of a Fund will be achieved or that the value of a shareholder's investment in the Fund will not decrease. Furthermore, although each Fund seeks to maintain a stable share price of $1.00, there can be no assurance that each Fund will be able to do so and it is possible to lose money by investing in a Fund. All Funds Interest Rate Fluctuations. Each Fund is subject to the risk that the value of its investments may be subject to changes in interest rates. Credit Risk. Each Fund is also subject to credit risk, which is the risk that the issuer in which a Fund invests, will fail financially or otherwise fail to honor its obligations. An issuer with a lower credit rating will be more likely than a higher rated issuer to default or otherwise become unable to honor its financial obligations. Securities Selection. A strategy used by a Fund, or securities selected by its portfolio manager, may fail to produce the intended return. 17 PROPOSALS NOS. 1(a)-(b): APPROVAL OF THE NEW INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT AND THE NEW SUBADVISORY AGREEMENT THE AIG MERGER AND THE NEW INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND SUBADVISORY AGREEMENTS Board Considerations On August 29, 2001, AIG acquired American General in the AIG Merger. As a result of the AIG Merger, AGAM and AGIM became subsidiaries of AIG. As required by the Investment Company Act, the Previous Investment Advisory Agreement and Previous Subadvisory Agreement (the "Previous Agreements") each provided for automatic termination upon "assignment". Under the Investment Company Act, a change of control of an investment adviser (or subadviser) constitutes an "assignment". The consummation of the AIG Merger resulted in the assignment of the Previous Agreements, and their automatic termination. Therefore, as described below, shareholders are being asked to approve the New Agreements. At a meeting held on July 16-17, 2001, the NAF Board, including all of the NAF Independent Trustees, unanimously approved an interim investment advisory agreement (the "Interim Investment Advisory Agreement") between AGAM and North American Funds and an interim subadvisory agreement (the "Interim Subadvisory Agreement," and together with the Interim Investment Advisory Agreement, the "Interim Agreements") between AGAM and New AGIM, an affiliate of AGAM, with respect to the Acquired Funds pursuant to Rule 15a-4 under the Investment Company Act. This has allowed them to continue to serve the Acquired Funds after the AIG Merger. This Rule, under certain circumstances, allows interim advisory agreements to take effect, and to remain in effect for up to 150 days, without receiving prior shareholder approval, as long as the fees payable under such agreement do not exceed the fees payable under the predecessor agreement that had been approved by the shareholders and certain other contractual provisions are included in the interim agreement. The Interim Agreements require all fees earned by AGAM and New AGIM to be escrowed pending shareholder approval of the New Agreements. If the New Agreements are not approved, AGAM and New AGIM will be entitled to receive from escrow the lesser of any costs incurred in performing the Interim Agreements (plus interest earned on the amount while in escrow), and the total amount in the escrow account (plus interest earned). The Interim Agreements will terminate on the earlier of the effective date of the New Agreements or 150 days after the completion of the AIG Merger. Pursuant to the terms of the Interim Investment Advisory Agreement, AGAM is responsible for the management of the investment portfolio of each Acquired Fund and for providing certain administrative services to each Acquired Fund. Pursuant to the terms of the Interim Subadvisory Agreement, New AGIM is responsible for managing the investment and reinvestment of the assets of each Acquired Fund, subject to the supervision of the NAF Board. The terms of the Interim Investment Advisory Agreement and Interim Subadvisory Agreement are similar in all material respects as to those of the Previous Investment Advisory Agreement and Previous Subadvisory Agreement, respectively. The Interim Investment Advisory Agreement and the Interim Subadvisory Agreement differ from the respective Previous Agreement only with respect to the effective date, the term and the escrow provisions relating to AGAM and AGIM's fees (as described above). Under the Investment Company Act, however, AGAM and New AGIM may continue to serve as the investment adviser or subadviser for each Acquired Fund beyond an interim period of 150 days only if shareholders of such Acquired Fund approve a new investment advisory agreement with AGAM and subadvisory agreement with New AGIM. Consequently, the NAF Board unanimously approved, and recommended shareholder approval of, the New Agreements on July 16-17, 2001. The New Agreements, if approved by shareholders, would take effect immediately upon such approval. The terms of each New Agreement, including advisory fees, are the same in all material respects to those of the respective Previous Agreement. The New Agreements differ from the Previous Agreements only with respect to their effective dates. See "--Description of the New Investment Advisory Agreement" and "--Description of the New 18 Subadvisory Agreement" below for a description of the New Investment Advisory Agreement and the New Subadvisory Agreement and the services to be provided by AGAM and New AGIM, respectively, thereunder. In connection with its approval of the New Agreements, the NAF Board received a presentation relating to AIG and SAAMCo, as well as a presentation from AGAM. The NAF Board considered that the AIG Merger did not involve any changes in the overall form of the advisory or subadvisory contracts, the advisory fees, or any of the Acquired Funds' objectives or policies. The NAF Board also considered that AGAM and SAAMCo had indicated that while they intended to propose the Reorganizations to the NAF Board at a subsequent meeting, until such Reorganizations were approved and consummated, SAMMCo and AIG represented that there would be no material change in the nature and quality of services provided by AGAM and New AGIM. As part of their deliberations, the NAF Board took into account the following, among other factors: the nature and quality of the services provided or reasonably anticipated to be provided and the results achieved or reasonably anticipated to be achieved by AGAM and/or New AGIM; the amount and structure of investment advisers' fees generally and the fees payable under the New Agreements; the financial strength of AIG; the management, personnel and operations of AIG and SAAMCo; the commitment of AIG to the financial services industry; and the structure of the AIG Merger. In addition, the NAF Board considered the fact that at some point after consummation of the AIG Merger, the operations of AGIM might be consolidated with those of another affiliate within the AIG group of companies to eliminate duplication and attempt to create economies of scale within the organization. The NAF Board was assured that any such internal reorganization would not result in a change in the personnel responsible for providing services to the applicable Acquired Fund or in the nature or quality of those services. Accordingly, the NAF Board approved each of the Interim Subadvisory Agreement and the New Subadvisory Agreement with New AGIM. Section 15(f) of the Investment Company Act provides that an investment adviser (such as AGAM or New AGIM) to a registered investment company, and the affiliates of such adviser, may receive any amount or benefit in connection with a sale of any interest in such investment adviser which results in an assignment of an investment advisory contract if the following two conditions are satisfied: (1) for a period of three years after such assignment, at least 75% of the board of directors of the investment company are not "interested persons" (within the meaning of Section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act) of the new investment adviser or its predecessor; and (2) no "unfair burden" (as defined in the Investment Company Act) may be imposed on the investment company as a result of the assignment or any express or implied terms, conditions or understandings applicable thereto. Consistent with the first condition of Section 15(f), AIG advised the NAF Board that for a period of three years after the AIG Merger, it will not take or recommend any action that would cause more than 25% of the NAF Board (or SunAmerica Board) to be interested persons of SAAMCo, AGAM or New AGIM. With respect to the second condition of Section 15(f), an "unfair burden" on an investment company is defined in the Investment Company Act to include any arrangement during the two-year period after any such transaction occurs whereby the investment adviser or its predecessor or successor, or any interested person of such adviser, predecessor or successor, receives or is entitled to receive any compensation of two types, either directly or indirectly. The first type is compensation from any person in connection with the purchase or sale of securities or other property to, from or on behalf of the investment company, other than bona fide ordinary compensation as principal underwriter for such company. The second type is compensation from the investment company or its security holders for other than bona fide investment advisory or other services. AIG advised the NAF Board that it will not take or recommend any action that would constitute an unfair burden on North American Funds (or the Acquiring Funds) within the meaning of Section 15(f). 19 PROPOSAL NO. 1(a) NEW INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT Description of the New Investment Advisory Agreement As a proposal separate from the proposal to approve a Reorganization, shareholders of each Acquired Fund are being asked to approve the New Investment Advisory Agreement with AGAM to cover the period subsequent to the shareholder approval and prior to consummation of the Reorganization (which is currently anticipated to occur during the fourth calendar quarter of 2001). If this proposal is approved, but a Reorganization is not approved, by the shareholders of an Acquired Fund, AGAM will continue to serve as that Acquired Fund's adviser under the New Investment Advisory Agreement. The terms of the New Investment Advisory Agreement are the same in all material respects as those of the Previous Investment Advisory Agreement. The New Investment Advisory Agreement differs from the Previous Investment Advisory Agreement only with respect to the effective date. The Previous Investment Advisory Agreement is dated June 1, 2000 and was last approved by the shareholders of the Acquired Funds at a meeting held on the same date in connection with its initial approval. A description of the New Investment Advisory Agreement and the services to be provided by AGAM is set forth below. This description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the form of the New Investment Advisory Agreement attached to this Proxy Statement and Prospectus as Exhibit IA. As compensation for its services under the New Investment Advisory Agreement, the Acquired Funds will pay to AGAM the same fee, as a percentage of average daily net assets, that was payable to AGAM under the Previous Investment Advisory Agreement. Such fee will be payable monthly and accrued daily. See "Summary" for a description of the fee payable to AGAM under the Previous Investment Advisory Agreement. AGAM has agreed, until February 28, 2002, to reduce fees payable to it by, or reimburse expenses to, the Acquired Funds. For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2000, North American Funds paid total advisory fees to AGAM of $7,339,733. Of such amount, $56,326 and $8,044 (for the period July 7, 2000 to October 31, 2000) were attributable to the NAF Money Market Fund and the NAF Municipal Money Market Fund, respectively. From November 1, 1999 to July 7, 2000, The Variable Annuity Life Insurance Company ("VALIC"), an affiliate of AGAM, served as investment adviser to the NAF Municipal Money Market Fund. During this period, North American Funds paid total advisory fees to VALIC of $540,574. Of this amount, $24,903 was attributable to the NAF Municipal Money Market Fund. These amounts do not reflect certain fee waivers and expense reimbursements for which the Acquired Funds were reimbursed. The Board of Trustees of North American Funds unanimously recommends that the shareholders of each Acquired Fund approve the New Investment Advisory Agreement. Shareholders of each Acquired Fund vote separately on the approval of the New Investment Advisory Agreement. Approval of the New Investment Advisory Agreement by one Acquired Fund is not contingent upon approval of the New Investment Advisory Agreement by any other Acquired Fund. If the New Investment Advisory Agreement is not approved by shareholders of an Acquired Fund, the NAF Board will determine the appropriate actions in the best interests of shareholders to be taken with respect to such Acquired Fund's advisory arrangements at that time. Additional Information About AGAM General CypressTree Investments, Inc. ("CypressTree") and its affiliates were formed in 1996 to acquire, advise and distribute mutual funds through broker-dealers and other intermediaries.

The approval of the New Subadvisory Agreement is contingent upon approval of the New Investment Advisory Agreement, and accordingly, will not take effect if the New Investment Advisory Agreement is not approved. If Proposals No. 1(a) and (b) are approved, and a Reorganization is not approved by the shareholders of an Acquired Fund, New AGIM will continue to serve as that Acquired Fund's subadviser under the New Subadvisory Agreement. The terms of the New Subadvisory Agreement are the same in all material respects as those of the Previous Subadvisory Agreement. The New Subadvisory Agreement differs from the Previous Subadvisory Agreement only with respect to the effective date and the potential for the subadvisory services to be rendered by an affiliate of AGIM through New AGIM. The Previous Subadvisory Agreement is dated June 1, 2000 and was last approved by the shareholders of the Acquired Funds at a meeting held on the same date in connection with its initial approval. A description of the New Subadvisory Agreement and the services to be provided by New AGIM is set forth below. This description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the form of the New Subadvisory Agreement attached to this Proxy Statement and Prospectus as Exhibit IB.

New AGIM will formulate a continuous investment program for each Acquired Fund consistent with its investment objectives and policies. New AGIM will also implement such programs by purchases and sales of securities and will regularly report to AGAM and the NAF Board with respect to their implementation. As compensation for its services under the New Subadvisory Agreement, New AGIM will receive a fee, as a percentage of average daily net assets, payable monthly and accrued daily as set forth in the table below. This fee is payable by AGAM at no additional cost to Acquired Fund shareholders.

The Board of Trustees of North American Funds unanimously recommends that the shareholders of each Acquired Fund approve the New Subadvisory Agreement. Shareholders of each Acquired Fund vote separately on the approval of the New Subadvisory Agreement. Approval of the New Subadvisory Agreement by one Acquired Fund is not contingent upon approval of the New Subadvisory Agreement by any other Acquired Fund. If the New Subadvisory Agreement is not approved by shareholders of an Acquired Fund, the NAF Board will determine the appropriate actions to be taken with respect to such Acquired Fund's subadvisory arrangements at that time. 23 Additional Information About AGIM AGIM has been the subadviser to the NAF Money Market Fund since March 2000, and the NAF Municipal Money Market Fund since its inception.

Officers of SunAmerica Money Market Funds, Inc. receive no direct remuneration in such capacity from SunAmerica Money Market Funds, Inc. or any of the Acquiring Funds. In addition, each SunAmerica Independent Director also serves on the Audit Committee of the SunAmerica Board. The Audit Committee is charged with recommending to the full SunAmerica Board the engagement or discharge of SunAmerica Money Market Funds, Inc.'s independent accountants; directing investigations into matters within the scope of the independent accountant's duties; reviewing with the independent accountants the audit plan and results of the audit; approving professional services provided by the independent accountants and other accounting firms; reviewing the independence of the independent accountants; considering the range of audit and non-audit fees; and preparing and submitting Committee minutes to the full SunAmerica Board.

The Directors (and Trustees) of SAMF and AST have adopted the SunAmerica Disinterested Trustees' and Directors' Retirement Plan (the "Retirement Plan") effective January 1, 1993 for the SunAmerica Independent Directors. The Retirement Plan provides generally that if a SunAmerica Independent Director has at least 10 years of consecutive service as a disinterested Director of any SAMF or AST (an "Eligible Director") retires after reaching age 60 but before age 70 or dies while a Director, such person will be eligible to receive a retirement or death benefit from each SAMF with respect to which he or she is an Eligible Director. With respect to Sebastiano Sterpa, the SunAmerica Independent Directors have determined to make an exception to existing policy and allow Mr. Sterpa to remain on the SunAmerica Board past age 70, until he has served for ten years. Mr. Sterpa ceased accruing retirement benefits upon reaching age 70, although such benefits will continue to accrue interest as provided for in the Retirement Plan. As of each birthday, prior to the 70th birthday, each Eligible Director will be credited with an amount equal to (i) 50% of his or her regular fees (excluding committee fees) for services as a disinterested Director of each SAMF for the calendar year in which such birthday occurs, plus (ii) 8.5% of any amounts credited under clause (i) during prior years. An Eligible Director may receive any benefits payable under the Retirement Plan, at his or her election, either in one lump sum or in up to fifteen annual installments. 27 The following table sets forth information summarizing the aggregate compensation of each SunAmerica Independent Director for his services as a member of the SunAmerica Board for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000, except as otherwise indicated.

Management Arrangements Comparison of Management and Administrative Arrangements and Fees AGAM serves as the investment adviser for the Acquired Funds and SAAMCo serves as the investment adviser for the Acquiring Funds. Each of AGAM and SAAMCo is responsible for the management of the investment portfolio of each Acquired Fund and Acquiring Fund, respectively, and for providing certain administrative services to such Fund. AGAM was organized as a Delaware corporation in 1996 and is located at 286 Congress Street, Boston, Massachusetts, 02210. Prior to the AIG Merger, AGAM and the NAF Distributor were both wholly owned subsidiaries of American General. Prior to the AIG Merger, American General was one of the nation's largest diversified financial services organizations with assets of approximately $128 billion and market capitalization of $23 billion at June 30, 2001. AGAM is now a subsidiary of AIG. SAAMCo was organized as a Delaware corporation in 1982 and is located at The SunAmerica Center, 733 Third Avenue, New York, NY 10017-3204. SAAMCo is a wholly owned subsidiary of SunAmerica Inc., which in turn is a wholly owned subsidiary of AIG. AIG, a Delaware corporation, is a holding company which through its subsidiaries is engaged in a broad range of insurance and insurance-related activities and financial services in the United States and abroad. AIG's primary activities include both general and life insurance operations. Other significant activities include financial services and asset management. As of June 30, 2001, SAAMCo managed, advised and/or administered more than $28.5 billion of assets. Comparison of the NAF Investment Advisory Agreement and SunAmerica Investment Advisory Agreement. The SunAmerica Investment Advisory Agreement is similar to the NAF Investment Advisory Agreement, except for certain matters, including the advisory fees, the effective dates and the identity of the adviser. The advisory fees payable by the Acquired Funds to AGAM are discussed above under "Proposal No. 1(a): New Investment Advisory Agreement." The advisory fees payable by the Acquiring Funds to SAAMCo are discussed above under "Summary." The effective advisory fees payable by the SunAmerica Money Market Fund under the SunAmerica Investment Advisory Agreement are at a higher annual rate than the effective advisory fees payable by the 28 NAF Money Market Fund under the NAF Investment Advisory Agreement. The effective advisory fees payable by the SunAmerica Municipal Money Market Fund under the SunAmerica Investment Advisory Agreement are at the same annual rate as the effective advisory fees payable by the NAF Municipal Money Market Fund under the NAF Investment Advisory Agreement. See "--NAF Board Considerations: Potential Benefits to Shareholders as a Result of the Reorganizations." The advisory fee rate payable by the Money Market Combined Fund after consummation of the Money Market Reorganization will be higher than the advisory fee rates payable by the NAF Money Market Fund. The advisory fee rate payable by the Municipal Money Market Combined Fund after consummation of the Municipal Money Market Reorganization will be the same as the advisory fee rates payable by the NAF Municipal Money Market Fund. The pro forma effective fee rate of each Combined Fund, as a percentage of average daily net assets, after taking into account the completion of the Reorganizations, is shown above under "Summary." In addition, the SunAmerica Investment Advisory Agreement provides that in the absence of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of SAAMCo's (and its affiliates') obligations or duties thereunder ("disabling conduct"), SAAMCo is not subject to liability to an Acquiring Fund (or to any shareholder thereof) for any act or omission in the course of rendering services to such Acquiring Fund (except to the extent specified in the Investment Company Act concerning loss resulting from a breach of fiduciary duty with respect to the receipt of compensation for services). The SunAmerica Investment Advisory Agreement also provides that except for such disabling conduct, an Acquiring Fund will indemnify SAAMCo (and its affiliates) from any liability arising from SAAMCo's conduct under the SunAmerica Investment Advisory Agreement. The NAF Investment Advisory Agreement does not contain similar provisions. Both the NAF Investment Advisory Agreement and the SunAmerica Investment Advisory Agreement provide that the adviser may, at its own cost and expense and subject to the requirements of the Investment Company Act retain one or more subadvisers ("Subadvisers") to manage all or a portion of the investment portfolio of an Acquired Fund or Acquiring Fund, respectively. See "-- Comparison of Subadvisory Arrangements" below. SAAMCo has appointed New AGIM to serve as Subadviser to the SunAmerica Municipal Money Market Fund. Comparison of Subadvisory Arrangements. New AGIM serves as Subadviser of each Acquired Fund, and will serve as Subadviser to the Municipal Money Market Combined Fund. See "Proposal No. 1(b): The New Subadvisory Agreement-- Description of the New Subadvisory Agreement" for further discussion regarding these arrangements. Under the terms of each of the Subadvisory Agreements between AGAM and New AGIM, for the respective Acquired Fund, the Subadviser manages the investment and reinvestment of the assets of such Acquired Fund, subject to the supervision of the NAF Board. The Subadviser formulates a continuous investment program for such Acquired Fund consistent with its investment objectives and policies. The Subadviser implements such programs by purchases and sales of securities and regularly reports to AGAM and the NAF Board with respect to their implementation. As compensation for its services, New AGIM receives fees from AGAM computed separately for each Acquired Fund. Such fees are paid out of AGAM's advisory fee at no additional cost to the Acquired Funds or their shareholders. Absent any applicable fee waivers, the fee rate that AGAM is obligated to pay to AGIM under its respective Subadvisory Agreement as follows: for the NAF Money Market Fund, AGAM pays AGIM a fee at the rate of 0.075% up to $500 million and 0.020% on the excess over $500 million; for the NAF Municipal Money Market Fund, AGAM pays AGIM a fee at the rate of 0.250% on the first $200 million, 0.200% between $200 million and $500 million and 0.150% on the excess over $500 million. For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2000, AGAM paid total subadvisory fees of $3,194,477. Of such amount, $21,204 and $5,873 (for the period July 7, 2000 to October 31, 2000) were attributable to the NAF 29 Money Market Fund and the NAF Municipal Money Market Fund, respectively. From November 1, 1999 to July 7, 2000, VALIC, an affiliate of AGAM, served as investment adviser to the NAF Municipal Money Market Fund. During this period, VALIC paid total subadvisory fees of $276,034. Of such amount, $12,451 was attributable to the NAF Municipal Money Market Fund. After the Reorganization, New AGIM will serve as the Subadviser to the Municipal Money Market Combined Fund pursuant to the SunAmerica Subadvisory Agreement. The terms of the NAF Subadvisory Agreement and the SunAmerica Subadvisory Agreement are the same in all material respects, including subadvisory fee rates. Under the terms of the SunAmerica Subadvisory Agreement between SAAMCO and New AGIM, New AGIM will manage the investment and reinvestment of the assets of the Municipal Money Market Combined Fund, subject to the supervision of the SunAmerica Board. New AGIM will formulate a continuous investment program for such Fund consistent with its investment objectives and policies. New AGIM will implement such programs by purchases and sales of securities and will regularly report to SAAMCo and the SunAmerica Board with respect to their implementation. The SunAmerica Subadvisory Agreement provides that in the absence of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of New AGIM's (and its affiliates') obligations or duties thereunder ("disabling conduct"), New AGIM is not subject to liability to the Municipal Money Market Combined Fund (or to any shareholder thereof) for any act or omission in the course of rendering services to the Municipal Money Market Combined Fund (except to the extent specified in the Investment Company Act concerning loss resulting from a breach of fiduciary duty with respect to the receipt of compensation for services). The SunAmerica Subadvisory Agreement also provides that except for such disabling conduct, New AGIM will indemnify SAAMCo (and its affiliates) from any liability arising from New AGIM's conduct under the SunAmerica Subadvisory Agreement. With respect to the indemnification the NAF Subadvisory Agreement does not contain a similar provision. Distribution and Shareholder Servicing Arrangements Distributor American General Funds Distributors, Inc. (previously defined as "AGFD" or the "NAF Distributor"), an affiliate of AGAM, acts as the principal distributor of the shares of the Acquired Funds. SunAmerica Capital Services, Inc. (previously defined as "SACS" or the "SunAmerica Distributor"), an affiliate of SAAMCo, acts as the distributor of the shares of the Acquiring Funds. As compensation for their respective services, AGFD and SACS receive the initial and deferred sales charges in respect of the Acquired Funds and Acquiring Funds, respectively. In addition, AGFD and SACS receive fees under each respective Acquired Fund's and Acquiring Fund's plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act. The address of the NAF Distributor is 286 Congress Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02210. The address of the SunAmerica Distributor is The SunAmerica Center, 733 Third Avenue, New York, New York 10017-3204. After consummation of the Reorganizations, the SunAmerica Distributor will continue to provide distribution services to each Combined Fund. Distribution and Service (12b-1) Fees Neither of the Acquired Funds is subject to a distribution plan under Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act ("Rule 12b-1"), and consequently Class A, Class B and Class C shares of each Acquired Fund are not subject to any distribution fees. Each of the Acquiring Funds has adopted a plan under Rule 12b-1 that allows it to pay distribution and other fees for the sale and distribution of its shares. Class A, Class B and Class II shares of each Acquiring Fund are subject to distribution and account maintenance and service fees pursuant to the applicable plan under Rule 12b-1. The SunAmerica Money Market Fund has Class I shares that are not 30 subject to a distribution plan. The table below sets forth the distribution and account maintenance and service fees for each of these classes.
Acquired Account Maintenance Fund Class Distribution Fee and Service Fee ---------- ---------------- ------------------- A None None B None None C None None Acquiring Account Maintenance Fund Class Distribution Fee and Service Fee ---------- ---------------- ------------------- A None 0.15% B 0.75% 0.15% II 0.75% 0.15%
Because these fees are paid out of a Fund's assets on an ongoing basis, over time they will increase the cost of your investment and may cost you more than paying other types of sales charges. Shareholder Servicing Fees for Class I The Acquired Funds have entered into a Services Agreement (the "NAF Services Agreement") with AGAM for the provision of recordkeeping and shareholder services to retirement and employee benefit plans and certain asset allocation funds of North American Funds that invest in Institutional Class I shares of the Acquired Funds. Under the NAF Services Agreement, as compensation for services rendered, AGAM receives a fee on Institutional Class I shares of each Acquired Fund equal to .25% of average net assets of such class. SACS will provide these services after the Reorganizations with respect to Class I shares of the Combined Funds for the same fee. Other Service Agreements with Affiliates SAFS acts as a servicing agent assisting State Street in connection with certain services offered to the shareholders of each of the Acquiring Funds pursuant to the terms of a Service Agreement (the "SunAmerica Service Agreement"). Under the SunAmerica Service Agreement, as compensation for transfer agency services rendered, SAFS receives a fee from each Acquiring Fund, computed and payable monthly based upon an annual rate of .22% of average daily net assets of each Acquiring Fund. From this fee, SAFS pays a fee to State Street, and its affiliate, National Financial Data Services. In addition, pursuant to the Service Agreement, SAFS may receive reimbursement of its costs in providing shareholder services on behalf of the Acquiring Funds. SAFS is located at The SunAmerica Center, 733 Third Avenue, New York, New York 10017- 3204. 31 Purchase, Exchange and Redemption of Shares The following chart highlights the purchase, redemption and exchange features of the Acquired Funds as compared to such features of the Acquiring Funds.

Purchase, Redemption and Exchange Features Acquired Funds Acquiring Funds ---------- -------------- --------------- Institutional Class I: Class I: Contact the contact the financial financial intermediary or intermediary or other other organization from whom organization from whom shares were purchased (a) shares were purchased Conversion Class B shares do not Class B shares automatically convert into Class A shares convert into Class A shares at any time approximately eight years after purchase Exchanges Class A shares of an Shares of an Acquiring Fund Acquired Fund are subject to may be exchanged for shares a sales charge upon exchange of the same class of any other fund distributed by SACS without any sales charges For Institutional Class I shares, all or part of an existing plan balance may be exchanged from one investment option to another if permitted by an employer retirement plan
-------- (a) Although not currently offered by the SunAmerica Money Market Fund, Class I shares will be offered by the Money Market Combined Fund upon consummation of the Reorganization. (b) Class B shares of the Acquired Funds are not subject to a CDSC. The CDSC schedule of Class B shares of the Acquiring Funds is set forth below: CDSC on shares being sold
Years after Purchase Acquiring Funds -------------------- --------------- 1st year.................................................. 5.00% 2nd year.................................................. 4.00% 3rd year.................................................. 3.00% 4th year.................................................. 3.00% 5th year.................................................. 2.00% 6th year.................................................. 1.00% 7th year and thereafter................................... None
(c) Class B and Class C shares of an Acquired Fund are not subject to a CDSC and the respective Corresponding Shares received in the applicable Reorganization by shareholders of a Combined Fund who were shareholders of the respective Acquired Fund as of the date of the closing of such Reorganization will not be a subject to a CDSC either (even if you exchange your shares for shares of another fund distributed by SACS). Each CDSC is based on the original purchase cost or the current market value of the shares being sold, whichever is less. Future purchases of Class A, Class B or Class II shares of a Combined Fund will be subject to the CDSC schedule applicable to the Combined Fund. There is no CDSC on Combined Fund shares that are purchased through reinvestment of dividends. In the case of a partial redemption of Combined Fund shares, those shares in the shareholder's account that are not subject to a CDSC will be sold first. If there are not enough of these shares available, shares that have the lowest CDSC will be sold next. Class B shares of the Acquiring Funds, as well as other SunAmerica Mutual Funds, convert to Class A shares approximately eight years after issuance. The time that a shareholder holds shares of an Acquiring Fund will be taken into account in calculating the conversion period. Similarly, the time that a Class B or Class II shareholder holds shares of an Acquiring Fund will be taken into account when determining whether or not a CDSC will apply to a redemption. In contrast, the time that a shareholder holds Class B or C shares of an Acquired Fund does not count in determining the eight-year period for conversion of Class B shares to Class A, or in determining whether the applicable period for imposition of a CDSC has lapsed. 33 (d) While Class C shares of an Acquired Fund are not subject to a sales charge, Class II shares of an Acquiring Fund are subject to a 1.00% initial sales charge. However, unlike Class A shares of the Acquired Funds, which are subject to a sales charge upon an exchange, there are no sales charges imposed on exchanges among the SunAmerica Mutual Funds, including the Acquiring Funds. Dividend Distribution and Account Policies The following is a summary of the dividend distribution and account policies of each of the Funds and is qualified in its entirety by the more complete information contained in the Acquired Funds Prospectuses, Acquiring Funds Prospectus, Acquired Funds Statement and Acquiring Funds Statement. Valuation of Fund Shares. The net asset value per share for each Fund and class is determined once daily as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4 p.m. Eastern time) by dividing the net assets (the value of all assets less liabilities) of each class by the number of its shares outstanding. Investments for which market quotations are readily available are valued at their prices as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange for the day. It is the intention of each Fund to maintain a net asset value per share of $1.00, although there can be no assurance that a Fund will be able to do so. Under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act, the valuation of each Fund's investments is based upon their amortized cost. This entails valuing an instrument at its cost and thereafter assuming a constant amortization to maturity of any premium or discount regardless of the impact of fluctuating interest rates on the market value of the instrument. While this method provides certainty in valuation, it may result in periods during which the value of an instrument, as determined by the amortized cost method, is higher or lower than the price a Fund would receive if it sold the instrument. The purpose of this method of valuation is to facilitate the maintenance of a constant net asset value per share of $1.00. There can be no assurance, however, that each Fund will be able to maintain a stable net asset value of $1.00 per share. Certain conditions must be met in connection with the application of the Commission's valuation rules to the Funds. These conditions include maintaining a dollar-weighted average portfolio maturity of 90 days or less, purchasing instruments having remaining maturities of 397 calendar days or less, and investing only in securities determined by the adviser under procedures adopted by each respective Board to present minimal credit risks and which are of high quality as determined in accordance with Rule 2a-7. See "Purchase, Redemption and Pricing--Determination of Net Asset Value" in the Acquired Funds Statement and "Determination of Net Asset Value" in the Acquiring Funds Statement. Buy and Sell Prices. When you buy shares of an Acquired Fund, you pay the net asset value. When you buy shares of an Acquiring Fund, you pay the net asset value plus any applicable sales charges. When you sell shares of a Fund, you receive the net asset value minus any applicable CDSCs. Dividends. Each Acquired Fund declares income dividends daily and pay income dividends, if any, monthly. Each Acquired Fund also declares and makes capital gains distributions, if any, monthly. Each Acquiring Fund declares income dividends daily and pays income dividends, if any, monthly. Dividends are paid on or about the fifteenth day of the month by the Acquiring Funds. Capital gains distributions, if any, are paid at least annually by the Acquiring Funds. See "Pricing of Fund Shares" in the Acquired Funds Prospectus and "Dividends, Distributions and Taxes--Dividends and Distributions" in the Acquiring Funds Statement. Dividend Reinvestments. The policy relating to dividend reinvestments is substantially the same for all Funds. Unless cash payment is requested (and such payment is more than $10 in the case of the Acquiring Funds), all dividends and distributions, if any, will be reinvested. Alternatively, in the case of the Acquiring Funds, dividends and distributions may be reinvested in any fund distributed by SACS. See "Pricing of Fund Shares" in the Acquired Funds Prospectus and "Dividends, Distributions and Taxes--Dividends and Distributions" in the Acquiring Funds Statement. 34 Redemptions-in-kind. Each Acquired Fund reserves the right to pay redemption proceeds in whole or in part by a distribution "in kind" of securities held by the Acquired Fund, subject to the limitation that each Acquired Fund is obligated to redeem shares solely in cash up to the lesser of $250,000 or 1% of the net asset value of the Acquired Fund during any 90-day period for any one account. Subject to this same limitation, each Acquiring Fund also may pay redemption proceeds by a distribution "in kind" of securities held by the Acquiring Fund, if it determines that it would be detrimental to the best interests of the remaining shareholders of the Acquiring Fund to make payment of redemption proceeds wholly or partly in cash. See "Purchase Redemption and Pricing--Redemption in Kind" in the Acquired Funds Statement and "Additional Information Regarding Redemption of Shares" in the Acquiring Funds Statement. Payment Following Redemption. Each Fund will normally send the proceeds from a redemption (less any applicable CDSC) on the next business day, but may delay payment for up to seven days. Payment may be delayed if the shares to be redeemed were purchased by a check that has not cleared. During periods of extreme volatility or market crisis, each Fund may temporarily suspend the right to redemption and may postpone the payment of proceeds, as allowed by the federal securities laws. See "Shareholder Account Information--Transaction Policies" and "Additional Information Regarding Redemption of Shares" in the Acquiring Funds Prospectus and Acquiring Funds Statement, respectively, and "Section III: Investing in the North American Funds" and "Purchase, Redemption and Pricing--Payment for the Shares Presented" in the Acquired Funds Prospectuses and Acquired Funds Statement, respectively. Programs that Reduce Sales Charges. The Acquired Funds offers programs pursuant to which shareholders pay reduced sales charges. See "Section III: Investing in the North American Funds" in the Acquired Funds Prospectuses for more information regarding these programs. Reinstatement Privileges. In the case of the Acquiring Funds, a shareholder may redeem shares of an Acquiring Fund and within one year after the sale invest some or all of the proceeds in the same share class of the same Acquiring Fund without a sales charge. A shareholder may use the reinstatement privilege only one time after redeeming such shares. If a shareholder paid a CDSC on the redemption of his or her shares, the shareholder's account will be credited with the dollar amount of the CDSC at the time of redemption. See "Account Services" in the Acquired Funds Prospectus relating to Class A, Class B, and Class C shares and "Shareholder Account Information" in the Acquiring Funds Prospectus for more information regarding this privilege. Other Shareholder Services. Each of the Acquired Funds and Acquiring Funds offers other shareholder services which are similar, although not identical, such as automatic investment plans and systematic withdrawal plans. In addition, Anchor National Life Insurance Company offers an Asset Protection Plan to certain investors in the Acquiring Funds, which provides for benefits payable at death that relate to the amounts paid to purchase Acquiring Fund shares (and not subsequently redeemed prior to death) and to the value of Acquiring Fund shares held for the benefit of insured persons. Anchor National Life Insurance Company charges a premium for this coverage. For additional information regarding these additional shareholder services, see "Account Services" in the Acquired Funds Prospectuses and "Shareholder Account Information" and "Additional Information Regarding Purchase of Shares" in the Acquiring Funds Prospectus and Acquiring Funds Statement, respectively. Small Accounts. The Acquired Funds require that you maintain a minimum account balance of $500, or $50 for retirement plans and other automatic investing programs. The Acquiring Funds require that you maintain a minimum account balance of $500, or $250 for retirement plan accounts. If your account with an Acquiring Fund falls below the minimum requirement due to withdrawals, you may be asked to purchase more shares within 60 days. If you do not take action, the Acquiring Fund may close out your account and mail you the proceeds. Alternatively, you may be charged a $2.00 monthly charge to maintain your account with an Acquiring Fund. Your account with an Acquiring Fund will not be closed if its drop in value is due to performance of the Acquiring Fund or the effects of sales charges. 35 Performance General The following tables provide performance information for shares of the Funds for the periods indicated. Past performance is not indicative of future performance. The SunAmerica Municipal Money Market Fund has been recently created and has not yet commenced operations; consequently, it does not have an investment and performance record. After the reorganization, the Municipal Money Market Combined Fund, as the successor to the NAF Municipal Money Market Fund, will assume and publish the investment performance record of the NAF Municipal Money Market Fund. See "Performance Information" in the NAF Municipal Money Market Fund's Statement for information about the NAF Municipal Money Market Fund's performance. Important information about the SunAmerica Money Market Fund is also contained in management's discussion of the SunAmerica Money Market Fund's performance contained in the Annual Report to Shareholders of the Existing Acquiring Fund for the year ended December 31, 2000, which accompanies this Proxy Statement and Prospectus. Average annual total return is determined separately for each Class in accordance with a formula specified by the Commission. Average annual total return is computed by finding the average annual compounded rates of return for the 1-, 3-, 5-, and 10-year periods or for the lesser included periods of effectiveness. The calculation assumes that: (a) The maximum sales load (i.e., either the front-end sales load or the CDSC that would be applicable to a complete redemption of the investment at the end of the specified period) is deducted from the initial $1,000 purchase payment; (b) All dividends and distributions are reinvested at net asset value; and (c) Complete redemption occurs at the end of the 1-, 3-, 5-, or 10-year periods or fractional portion thereof with all nonrecurring charges deducted accordingly. Average Annual Total Returns* (periods ended June 30, 2001)

-------- * The SunAmerica Municipal Money Market Fund has been recently created and has not commenced operations; consequently, it does not have an investment performance record. ** AGAM has waived certain fees in respect of the Acquired Funds. Absent such waivers, the returns for the Acquired Funds shown above would be lower. Yield Information. Yield is determined separately for classes of shares of a Fund in accordance with a standardized formula prescribed by the Commission and is not indicative of the amounts which were or will be paid to shareholders. The yield quoted in a Fund's advertisements is computed by determining the net change, exclusive of capital changes, in the value of a hypothetical preexisting account having a balance of one share at the beginning of the 7-day period. A hypothetical charge reflecting deductions for shareholder accounts is 36 subtracted from the above net change and the difference is divided by the value of the account at the beginning of the 7-day period. The resulting figure is multiplied by 365 divided by seven and carried to the nearest one hundredth of one percent. Effective yield quoted in the Fund's advertisements is computed by determining the net change, exclusive of capital changes, in the value of a hypothetical pre-existing account having a balance of one share at the beginning of the 7-day period. A hypothetical charge reflecting deductions from shareholder accounts is subtracted from the above net change and the difference is divided by the value of the account at the beginning of the 7-day period. The resulting figure is then compounded by adding one, raising the sum to a power equal to 365 divided by seven, and subtracting one. The following formula illustrates the effective yield computation. [((Base Period Return/365*7) + 1) (365/7)]-1 The following table sets forth the SunAmerica Money Market Fund's yield and effective yield for the Class A, Class B and Class II shares for the 7-day periods ended December 31, 2000.
Class A Class B Class II ------- ------- -------- Yield.................................................. 5.73% 4.97% 4.91% Effective Yield........................................ 5.89% 5.09% 5.03% The following table sets forth the NAF Money Market Fund's yield and effective yield for the Class A, Class B and Class C shares for the 7-day periods ended October 31, 2000.

Shareholder Rights Shareholder rights are the same in all of the Funds. Each full share and fractional share of a Fund entitles the shareholder to receive a proportional interest in the respective Fund's capital gain distributions and to cast one vote per share, with fractional shares voting proportionally, on certain Fund matters, including the election of trustees or directors, changes in fundamental policies, or approval of changes in the Fund's investment advisory agreement. Corresponding Shares issued in the Reorganizations will be fully paid and nonassessable and will have no preemptive rights. In the event of the liquidation of a Fund, shareholders of such Fund are entitled to share pro rata in the net assets of such Fund available for distribution to shareholders. The Funds are not required to hold annual meetings and do not intend to do so except when certain matters, such as a change in a Fund's fundamental policies, are to be decided. In addition, shareholders representing at least 10% of all eligible votes may call a special meeting if they wish, for the purpose of voting on the removal of any Fund trustee or director. Tax Information The tax consequences associated with an investment in shares of an Acquired Fund are substantially the same as the tax consequences associated with an investment in shares of the respective Acquiring Fund. See 37 "Taxes" in the Acquired Funds Prospectuses and "Dividend, Distribution and Account Policies" in the Acquiring Funds Prospectus. Portfolio Transactions The procedures for engaging in portfolio transactions are generally the same for the Acquired Funds and the Acquiring Funds. Each Acquired Fund's subadviser and SAAMCo may consider the nature and extent of research services provided when brokers are selected and may cause a Fund to pay such broker-dealer's commissions that exceed those that other broker-dealers may have charged, if in their view the commissions are reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and/or research services provided. For further discussion of these procedures, see "Portfolio Brokerage" in the Acquired Funds Statement and "Portfolio Transactions and Brokerage" in the Acquiring Funds Statement. Portfolio Turnover None of the Funds has placed a limit on its portfolio turnover and portfolio changes are made when the Fund's investment adviser (or Subadviser) believes they are advisable, usually without reference to the length of time that a security has been held. Additional Information Independent Auditors Currently, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP serves as the independent auditors of the Acquired Funds and the Acquiring Funds. If the Reorganizations are completed, it is anticipated that PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP will serve as the independent auditors of the Combined Funds. The principal business address of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP is 1177 Avenue of the Americas, New York, New York 10036. Custodian State Street acts as the custodian of the assets of the Acquired Funds and Acquiring Funds. If the Reorganizations are completed, it is currently anticipated that State Street will continue to serve as the custodian of the Combined Funds. The principal business address of State Street is 1776 Heritage Drive, North Quincy, Massachusetts 02171. Transfer Agent Boston Financial Data Services, Inc., 66 Brooks Drive, Braintree, Massachusetts 02184, serves as the transfer agent with respect to each Acquired Fund. State Street, 1776 Heritage Drive, North Quincy, Massachusetts 02171, serves as the transfer agent with respect to each Acquiring Fund. Transfer agent functions are performed for State Street by National Financial Data Services, P.O. Box 219572, Kansas City, Missouri 64121-5972, an affiliate of State Street. Each transfer agent is responsible for the issuance, transfer and redemption of shares and the opening, maintenance and servicing of shareholder accounts for the respective Fund. If the Reorganizations are completed, it is currently anticipated that State Street will continue to serve as the transfer agent of the Combined Funds. Capital Stock The NAF Money Market Fund is authorized to issue an unlimited number of full and fractional shares of beneficial interest, par value $0.001 per share, divided into four classes designated Class A, Class B, Class C and Institutional Class I. The NAF Municipal Money Market Fund is authorized to issue an unlimited number of full and fractional shares of beneficial interest, par value $0.001 per share, divided into three classes designated Class A, Class B and Class C. SunAmerica Money Market Funds, Inc. is authorized to issue ten 38 billion (10,000,000,000) shares of common stock, of which three billion (3,000,000,000) shares have been divided and classified as the SunAmerica Money Market Fund and one hundred million (100,000,000) shares have been divided and classified as the SunAmerica Municipal Money Market Fund. The SunAmerica Money Market Fund is divided into four classes of shares, designated Class A, Class B, Class II and Class I, consisting of one billion (1,000,000,000) Class A shares, one billion (1,000,000,000) Class B shares, five hundred million (500,000,000) Class II shares and five hundred million (500,000,000) Class I shares, in each case par value $0.001 per share. The SunAmerica Municipal Money Market Fund is divided into four classes of shares, designated Class A, Class B, Class II and Class I, consisting of twenty-five million (25,000,000) Class A shares, twenty-five million (25,000,000) Class B shares, twenty-five million (25,000,000) Class II shares and twenty-five million (25,000,000) Class I shares, in each case par value $0.001 per share. See "--Shareholder Rights" above and "Capital Stock" in the Acquired Funds Statement and "Description of Shares" in the Acquiring Funds Statement for further discussion of the rights and preferences attributable to shares of each Acquired Fund and each Acquiring Fund, respectively. See "Summary" above and "Section II: Fees and Expenses" (in the case of Class A, Class B and Class C shares) in the Acquired Funds Prospectuses and "Fund Highlights--What are the Fund's Expenses?" in the Acquiring Funds Prospectus for further discussion on the expenses attributable to shares of the Acquired Funds and the Acquiring Funds, respectively. See "-- Issuance and Distribution of Corresponding Shares" for a description of the classes of Corresponding Shares to be issued in the Reorganizations. The North American Funds is an entity of the type commonly known as a "Massachusetts business trust," while SunAmerica Money Market Funds, Inc. is organized as a corporation under Maryland law. Under Massachusetts law, shareholders of such a trust may, under certain circumstances, be held personally liable as partners for its obligations. However, the Declaration of Trust of North American Funds contains an express disclaimer of shareholder liability for acts or obligations of each Acquired Fund and provides for indemnification and reimbursement of expenses out of that Acquired Fund's property for any shareholder held personally liable for the obligations of that Fund. Thus, the risk of a shareholder incurring financial loss on account of shareholder liability is limited to circumstances in which the Acquired Funds themselves would be unable to meet their obligations. Given the above limitations on shareholder personal liability, and the nature of the Acquired Fund's assets and operations, the possibility that such an Acquired Fund will be unable to meet its obligations is remote. North American Funds believes the risk of personal liability to shareholders is therefore remote. In contrast to the laws governing Massachusetts business trust as described above, there is no similar provision under Maryland law governing corporations providing for shareholder liability for obligations of the Fund. Shareholder Inquiries Shareholder inquiries with respect to the Acquired Funds may be addressed to each Acquired Fund at 286 Congress Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02210 or by calling toll free 1-800-872-8037. Shareholder inquiries with respect to the Acquiring Funds may be addressed to each Acquiring Fund at The SunAmerica Center, 733 Third Avenue, New York, NY 10017-3204 or by calling toll free 1- 800-858-8850. 39 THE REORGANIZATIONS General Under each Plan, the applicable Acquiring Fund will acquire substantially all of the assets, and assume substantially all of the liabilities, of the respective Acquired Fund solely in exchange for an equal aggregate value of Corresponding Shares of such Acquiring Fund. Upon receipt by an Acquired Fund of Corresponding Shares, such Acquired Fund will distribute such Corresponding Shares to its shareholders, as described below. All issued and outstanding shares of the Acquired Funds will be cancelled, and each Acquired Fund's existence as a separate investment portfolio of North American Funds will be terminated as soon as practicable following consummation of the respective Reorganization. Generally, the assets transferred by an Acquired Fund to the respective Acquiring Fund will include all investments of such Acquired Fund held in its portfolio as of the Valuation Time and all other assets of such Acquired Fund as of such time. In the course of each Reorganization, each holder, if any, of Class A, Class B, Class C and Institutional Class I shares of an Acquired Fund will receive Class A, Class B, Class II and Class I Corresponding Shares, respectively, of the respective Acquiring Fund. No sales charges will be imposed on the Corresponding Shares issued in connection with the Reorganizations. Each Acquired Fund will distribute the Corresponding Shares received by it in connection with its Reorganization pro rata to its shareholders in exchange for such shareholders' proportional interests in such Acquired Fund. The Corresponding Shares received by an Acquired Fund's shareholders will have the same aggregate net asset value as each such shareholder's interest in such Acquired Fund as of the Valuation Time. See "--Terms of the Plans" for information concerning the calculation of net asset value. Since the Corresponding Shares will be issued at net asset value in exchange for the net assets of an Acquired Fund having a value equal to the aggregate net asset value of the shares of such Acquired Fund as of the Valuation Time, the net asset value per share of the respective Acquiring Fund should remain virtually unchanged solely as a result of the applicable Reorganization. Thus, the Reorganizations should not result in dilution of the net asset value of the Acquired Funds or the Acquiring Funds immediately following consummation of the Reorganizations. However, as a result of the Reorganizations, a shareholder of the NAF Money Market Fund may hold a smaller percentage of ownership in the respective Money Market Combined Fund than he or she did in the NAF Money Market Fund prior to the Reorganization. The aggregate net asset value of the Corresponding Shares will equal the aggregate net asset value of your shares of the Acquired Fund. Because all of the Funds seek to maintain a price per share of $1.00, you should end up with the same number of shares. In any event, the total dollar value of your shares will remain the same. If the shareholders of the Acquired Funds approve the Reorganizations at the Meeting, all required regulatory approvals are obtained, and certain conditions are either met or waived, it is expected that the Reorganizations will take place during the fourth calendar quarter of 2001. One Reorganization is not dependent on the consummation of any other Reorganization. If an Acquired Fund's shareholders do not approve the respective Reorganization, the NAF Board will consider other possible courses of action which may be in the best interests of shareholders. Terms of the Plans The following is a summary of the significant terms of the Plans. This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Plans, a form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit II. 40 Valuation of Assets and Liabilities The respective assets and liabilities of the Acquired Funds and the Acquiring Funds will be valued as of the Valuation Time. The assets in each Fund will be valued according to the procedures set forth under "Transaction Policies--Valuation of Shares" and "Determination of Net Asset Value" in the Acquiring Funds Prospectus and the Acquiring Funds Statement, respectively. Purchase orders for an Acquired Fund's shares which have not been confirmed as of the Valuation Time will be treated as assets of such Acquired Fund for purposes of the respective Reorganization; redemption requests with respect to an Acquired Fund's shares which have not settled as of the Valuation Time will be treated as liabilities of such Acquired Fund for purposes of the respective Reorganization. Issuance and Distribution of Corresponding Shares On the Closing Date (as defined in the Plans), each Acquiring Fund will issue to the respective Acquired Fund a number of full and fractional Corresponding Shares the aggregate net asset value of which will equal the aggregate net asset value of shares of such Acquired Fund as of the Valuation Time. Such Acquired Fund will then distribute the Corresponding Shares received by it pro rata to its shareholders of record as of the Valuation Time in exchange for such shareholders' proportional interests in such Acquired Fund. Such issuance and distribution will be done as follows: each holder, if any, of Class A, Class B, Class C and Institutional Class I shares of an Acquired Fund will receive Class A, Class B, Class II and Class I Corresponding Shares, respectively, of the respective Acquiring Fund. The Corresponding Shares received by an Acquired Fund's shareholder will have the same aggregate net asset value as such shareholder's interest in such Acquired Fund as of the Valuation Time. Expenses All costs of the Reorganizations will be borne by AIG or an affiliate thereof, regardless of whether the Reorganizations are consummated. No portion of the expenses of the Reorganizations will be borne directly or indirectly by the Funds or their shareholders. Required Approvals The completion of each Reorganization is conditioned upon, among other things, the receipt of certain regulatory approvals, including the receipt of an order from the Commission pursuant to Section 17(b) of the Investment Company Act. An application for such order has been filed with the Commission, however, there is no assurance that it will be received. In addition, the Declaration of Trust of North American Funds (as amended to date) requires approval of each Reorganization by the affirmative vote of the respective Acquired Fund's shareholders representing no less than a majority outstanding voting securities of that Fund, voting together as a single class, cast at a meeting at which a quorum is present. "Majority" for this purpose under the Investment Company Act means the lesser of (i) more than 50% of the outstanding shares of the applicable Acquired Fund and (ii) 67% or more of the shares of that Acquired Fund represented at the Meeting if more than 50% of such shares are represented. Amendments and Conditions The Plans may be amended at any time prior to the Closing Date with respect to any of the terms therein. The obligations of each Acquired Fund and Acquiring Fund pursuant to the respective Plan are subject to various conditions, including the requisite approval of the respective Reorganization by such Acquired Fund's shareholders, the receipt of an opinion of counsel as to tax matters and the confirmation by the respective Acquired Fund and Acquiring Fund of the continuing accuracy of their respective representations and warranties contained in such Plan. 41 Termination, Postponement and Waivers Each Plan may be terminated, and the respective Reorganization abandoned at any time, whether before or after adoption thereof by the respective Acquired Fund's shareholders, prior to the Closing Date or the Closing Date may be postponed: (i) by mutual agreement of the NAF Board and the SunAmerica Board; (ii) by an Acquired Fund if any condition to such Acquired Fund's obligations has not been fulfilled or waived; or (iii) by an Acquiring Fund if any condition to such Acquiring Fund's obligations has not been fulfilled or waived. NAF Board Considerations: Potential Benefits to Shareholders as a Result of the Reorganizations In approving the Reorganizations, based upon their evaluation of all relevant information, and after meeting with counsel to the NAF Independent Trustees regarding the legal issues involved, the NAF Board considered that, following each Reorganization, shareholders of an Acquired Fund will remain invested in a money market or municipal money market mutual fund which has substantially the same investment objective and similar, though not identical, investment techniques. In addition, the NAF Board considered the following, among other things: . Terms and conditions of the Reorganizations. . The fact that Acquiring Funds will assume substantially all of the liabilities of the respective Acquired Funds. . The historical performance records of the Acquired Funds and SunAmerica Money Market Fund. . The gross and net expense ratios of the Acquired Funds and the SunAmerica Money Market Fund before the Reorganizations, the anticipated gross and net expense ratios of the SunAmerica Municipal Money Market Fund and the estimated expense ratios of the Combined Funds on a pro forma basis after the Reorganizations. . The fact that the Reorganizations would not result in dilution of an Acquired Fund shareholders' interests. . The fact that AGAM has agreed to waive fees or reimburse expenses for the Acquired Funds, but there is no assurance that the current fee waivers and expense reimbursements would continue after February 28, 2002. . The fact that SAAMCo has contractually and voluntarily agreed to waive fees or reimburse expenses for certain classes of Acquiring Fund shares. . The investment experience, expertise and resources of SAAMCo and other service providers to the Acquiring Funds in the areas of distribution, investment, and shareholder services. . The service and distribution resources available to the Acquiring Funds and compatibility of the Funds' service features available to shareholders. . The fact that each Reorganization has been structured with the intention that it qualify for Federal income tax purposes as a tax-free reorganization under the Code. . The fact that AIG or an affiliate thereof will bear all expenses relating to the Reorganizations. . The effect of the Reorganizations on Acquired Fund shareholders and the value of their interests. . Alternatives available to Acquired Fund shareholders, including the ability to redeem their shares. The NAF Board took into account the fact that the SunAmerica Money Market Fund is approximately twenty times as large as the NAF Money Market Fund and that as shareholders of the Money Market Combined Fund, NAF Money Market Fund shareholders would enjoy the stability associated with an investment in a much larger fund. 42 In addition, the NAF Board considered the difference in the fee structures of the Acquiring Funds and the Acquired Funds. Specifically, the NAF Board considered that Class B and Class II shares of the Acquiring Funds are subject to sales charges and all Classes of shares of the Acquiring Funds are subject to Rule 12b-1 distribution and/or account maintenance fees. Shares of the Acquired Funds are not subject to such sales charges or fees. However, unlike Class A shares of the Acquired Funds, which are subject to a sales charge upon an exchange, there are no sales charges imposed on exchanges among the SunAmerica Mutual Funds, including the Acquiring Funds. In addition, Class B shares of the Acquiring Funds, as well as other SunAmerica Mutual Funds, convert to Class A shares approximately eight years after issuance. The time that a shareholder holds shares of an Acquiring Fund will be taken into account in calculating the conversion period. Similarly, the time that a Class B or Class II shareholder holds shares of an Acquiring Fund will be taken into account when determining whether or not a CDSC will apply to a redemption (six years for Class B; eighteen months for Class II). In contrast, the time that a shareholder holds Class B or C shares of an Acquired Fund does not count in determining the eight-year period for conversion of Class B shares to Class A, or in determining whether the applicable period for imposition of a CDSC has lapsed (six years for Class B shares; one year for Class C shares). The NAF Board also considered that the fee waivers and expense reimbursements that are in place with respect to the Acquired Funds are only effective through February 28, 2002 and that there can be no assurance that AGAM would continue with these waivers and reimbursements past that date. Moreover, an investor in an Acquiring Fund (or any fund in the SunAmerica Fund Complex) would be subject to the imposition of a front-end sales charge in connection with the purchase of Class A shares only once--at the time of initial purchase and not at the time of each exchange. AGAM is contractually obligated to provide the fee reductions and expense reimbursements referenced in the "Fee Tables" above through February 28, 2002. If shareholders do not approve the Reorganizations, each Acquired Fund will continue with its current fee structure except that there is no assurance that AGAM would continue to provide such fee reductions and reimbursements past this date. If shareholders approve the Reorganizations, the respective Combined Funds expense structure will apply. Based on the foregoing, together with other factors and information considered to be relevant and recognizing that there can be no assurance that the benefits described above would outweigh the higher expenses of being shareholders in the Acquiring Funds, or that other benefits will in fact be realized, the NAF Board concluded that the Reorganizations present no significant risks or costs (including legal, accounting and administrative costs) that would outweigh the benefits discussed above. In connection with the approval of the Reorganizations, the NAF Board also approved directed brokerage arrangements with certain brokers to reduce the costs that might otherwise be incurred to align the portfolios of each of the Acquired Funds with those of the respective Acquiring Funds to facilitate a smooth transition upon consummation of the Reorganizations. Because the Acquired Funds and Acquiring Funds have substantially the same or similar investment objectives and similar investment strategies, it is not anticipated that the securities held by an Acquired Fund will be sold in significant amounts in order to comply with the objectives and investment policies of the respective Acquiring Fund in connection with the applicable Reorganization. The Acquired Funds will not dispose of assets to an extent or in a manner that would jeopardize the tax- free nature of the Reorganizations under the Code. However, the disposition of assets by an Acquired Fund may result in the realization of taxable gains or losses by Acquired Fund shareholders. In approving the Reorganizations, the NAF Board, including all of the NAF Independent Trustees, determined that each Reorganization is in the best interests of the respective Acquired Fund and its shareholders. In addition, the NAF Board, including all of the NAF Independent Trustees, also determined that the interests of the shareholders of each Acquired Fund would not be diluted as a result of effecting the respective Reorganization because each such shareholder will receive Corresponding Shares of the Acquiring 43 Fund having an aggregate net asset value equal to the aggregate net asset value of his or her shares of the Acquired Fund outstanding as of the Valuation Time. Consequently, the NAF Board approved the Plans and directed that each Plan be submitted to the shareholders of each respective Acquired Fund for approval. The Board of Trustees of North American Funds unanimously recommends that the shareholders of each Acquired Fund approve the respective Plan. Approval of the respective Plan by one Acquired Fund is not contingent upon the approval of the respective Plan by any other Acquired Fund. The SunAmerica Board has also approved the Plans on behalf of the Acquiring Funds. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Reorganizations General Each Reorganization has been structured with the intention that it qualify for Federal income tax purposes as a tax-free reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Code. This means that, in the opinion of counsel, no gain or loss will be recognized by a shareholder of an Acquired Fund for Federal income tax purposes as a result of a Reorganization. As a condition to the closing of each Reorganization, each of the Acquired Funds and Acquiring Funds will receive an opinion of Shearman & Sterling, counsel to the Acquiring Funds, substantially to the effect that, among other things, for Federal income tax purposes, upon consummation of each Reorganization (i) no gain or loss will be recognized by an Acquired Fund or an Acquiring Fund as a result of its respective Reorganization, (ii) no gain or loss will be recognized by a shareholder of an Acquired Fund upon his or her receipt of Corresponding Shares in the respective Reorganization solely in exchange for his or her shares of such Acquired Fund, (iii) each Acquired Fund and each Acquiring Fund will be a "party to a reorganization" under Section 368(b) of the Code, (iv) the holding period of the assets of an Acquired Fund acquired by the respective Acquiring Fund will include the period during which such assets were held by the Acquired Fund, (v) the holding period for Corresponding Shares of an Acquiring Fund received by each shareholder of the respective Acquired Fund in exchange for his or her shares in the Acquired Fund will include the period during which such shareholder held shares of the Acquired Fund (provided the Acquired Fund shares were held as capital assets on the date of the exchange), and (vi) immediately after a Reorganization, the tax basis of the Corresponding Shares received by shareholders of the respective Acquired Fund in such Reorganization will be equal, in the aggregate, to the tax basis of the shares of such Acquired Fund surrendered in exchange therefor. Shearman & Sterling's opinion will be based upon certain representations made by the parties to the Reorganization. An opinion of counsel does not have the effect of a private letter ruling from the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") and is not binding on the IRS or any court. If a Reorganization is consummated but fails to qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368 of the Code, the Reorganization would be treated as a taxable sale of assets followed by a taxable liquidation of the respective Acquired Fund, and Acquired Fund shareholders would recognize a taxable gain or loss equal to the difference between their basis in the Acquired Fund shares and the fair market value of the Corresponding Shares received. To the extent that an Acquired Fund has loss carryforwards at the time of the respective Reorganization, Acquired Fund shareholders may not be able to benefit from such loss carryforwards after the Reorganizations. Shareholders should consult their tax advisers regarding the effect of the Reorganizations in light of their individual circumstances. As the foregoing relates only to Federal income tax consequences, shareholders also should consult their tax advisers as to the non-United States, state, local and other tax consequences of the Reorganizations. 44 Status as a Regulated Investment Company The Acquired Funds and SunAmerica Money Market Fund have elected and qualified, and SunAmerica Municipal Money Market Fund intends to elect and qualify, to be taxed as regulated investment companies under Sections 851-855 of the Code, and after the Reorganizations, the Acquiring Funds intend to continue to qualify as regulated investment companies. An Acquired Fund's existence as a separate investment portfolio of North American Funds will be terminated as soon as practicable following the consummation of the applicable Reorganization. Capitalization The following table sets forth the capitalization of each Acquired Fund and each Acquiring Fund as of June 30, 2001, and the capitalization of each Combined Fund, on a pro forma basis, as if the Reorganizations had occurred on that date. As the newly created portfolio of SunAmerica Money Market Funds, Inc., the SunAmerica Municipal Money Market Fund had no assets as of such date.

The table set forth above should not be relied upon to reflect the number of shares to be received in the Reorganizations; the actual number of shares to be received will depend upon the net asset value and number of shares outstanding of each Fund at the Valuation Time. 45 GENERAL INFORMATION CONCERNING THE MEETING Date, Time and Place of Meeting The Meeting will be held on November 7, 2001, at the principal executive offices of North American Funds at 286 Congress Street, Boston, MA 02210, at 10:00 a.m., Eastern Time. Solicitation, Revocation and Use of Proxies A shareholder executing and returning a proxy has the power to revoke it at any time prior to its exercise by executing a superseding proxy (i.e., later- dated and signed), by submitting a notice of revocation to the Secretary of North American Funds or by subsequently registering his or her vote by telephone or via the Internet. In addition, although mere attendance at the Meeting will not revoke a proxy, a shareholder present at the Meeting may withdraw his or her proxy and vote in person. All shares represented by properly executed proxies received at or prior to the Meeting, unless such proxies previously have been revoked, will be voted at the Meeting in accordance with the directions on the proxies; if no direction is indicated on a properly executed proxy, such shares will be voted "FOR" approval of the New Investment Advisory Agreement, the New Subadvisory Agreement and the respective Plan. It is not anticipated that any matters other than the approval of the New Investment Advisory Agreement, the New Subadvisory Agreement and approval of the respective Plan will be brought before the Meeting. If, however, any other business properly is brought before the Meeting, proxies will be voted in accordance with the judgment of the persons designated on such proxies. Record Date and Outstanding Shares Only holders of record of shares of the Acquired Funds at the close of business on September 17, 2001 (the "Record Date") are entitled to vote at the Meeting or any adjournment thereof. The following chart sets forth the shares of each class of the Acquired Funds issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the close of business on the Record Date.

-------- * Assuming that the value of the shareholder's interest in the Fund on the date of consummation of the applicable Reorganization was the same as on August 31, 2001. In addition, the SunAmerica Municipal Money Market Fund is newly created and will initially be wholly-owned by SAAMCo as the initial seed investor. At August 31, 2001, the directors and officers of North American Funds as a group (13 persons) owned an aggregate of less than 1% of the outstanding shares of each Acquired Fund and owned an aggregate of less than 1% of the outstanding shares of common stock of North American Funds. At August 31, 2001, the directors and officers of SunAmerica Money Market Funds, Inc. as a group (5 persons) owned an aggregate of less than 1% of the outstanding shares of each Acquiring Fund and owned an aggregate of less than 1% of the outstanding shares of common stock of SunAmerica Money Market Funds, Inc. Voting Rights and Required Vote Each share of an Acquired Fund is entitled to one vote, with fractional shares voting proportionally. Shareholders of each Acquired Fund vote separately on whether to approve the New Investment Advisory Agreement and approval with respect to one Acquired Fund is not dependent on approval with respect to any other Acquired Fund. Shareholders of each Acquired Fund also vote separately on whether to approve the New Subadvisory Agreement and approval with respect to one Acquired Fund is not dependent on approval with respect to any other Acquired Fund. Approval of the Plan with respect to one Acquired Fund is not dependent on approval of the Plan with respect to any other Acquired Fund. Approval of the New Investment Advisory Agreement, the New Subadvisory Agreement and each Plan with respect to an Acquired Fund requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of that Fund, voting together as a single class, cast at a meeting at which a quorum is present. "Majority" for this purpose under the Investment Company Act means the lesser of (i) more than 50% of the outstanding shares of the applicable Acquired Fund and (ii) 67% or more of the shares of that Acquired Fund represented at the Meeting if more than 50% of such shares are represented. Broker-dealer firms holding shares of any of the Acquired Funds in "street name" for the benefit of their customers and clients will request the instructions of such customers and clients on how to vote their shares before the Meeting. Broker-dealer firms will not be permitted to grant voting authority without instructions with respect to the approval of the Plans. Each of the Acquired Funds will include shares held of record by broker-dealers as to which such authority has been granted in its tabulation of the total number of shares present for purposes of determining whether the necessary quorum of shareholders exists. Properly executed proxies that are returned but that are marked "abstain" or with respect to which a broker-dealer has declined to vote on any proposal ("broker non-votes") will be counted as present for the purposes of determining a quorum. Assuming the presence of a quorum, abstentions and broker non-votes will have the same effect as a vote against approval of the Plan. A quorum for each Acquired Fund for purposes of the Meeting consists of thirty percent of the shares of such Acquired Fund entitled to vote at the Meeting, present in person or by proxy. If, by the time scheduled for each Meeting, a quorum of the applicable Acquired Fund's shareholders is not present or if a quorum is present 48 but sufficient votes in favor of approval of the New Investment Advisory Agreement, New Subadvisory Agreement or of the applicable Plan are not received from the shareholders of the respective Acquired Fund, the persons named as proxies may propose one or more adjournments of such Meeting to permit further solicitation of proxies from shareholders. An affirmative vote of less than thirty percent of the shares of the applicable Acquired Fund present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the session of the Meeting will suffice for any such adjournment. The persons named as proxies will vote in favor of any such adjournment if they determine that adjournment and additional solicitation are reasonable and in the interests of the shareholders of such Acquired Fund. The votes of shareholders of the Acquiring Funds are not being solicited by this Proxy Statement and Prospectus and are not required to carry out the respective Reorganizations. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION The expenses of preparation, printing and mailing of the enclosed form of proxy, the accompanying Notice and this Proxy Statement and Prospectus will be borne by AIG or an affiliate thereof. Such expenses are currently estimated to be approximately $250,000 in the aggregate. AIG or an affiliate thereof will reimburse banks, brokers and others for their reasonable expenses in forwarding proxy solicitation materials to beneficial owners of the Acquired Funds and will reimburse certain officers or employees that it may employ for their reasonable expenses in assisting in the solicitation of proxies from such beneficial owners. In order to obtain the necessary quorums at the Meetings, supplementary solicitation may be made by mail, telephone, telegraph or personal interview by officers of the Acquired Funds. North American Funds has retained Georgeson Shareholder, located at 17 State Street, 27th Floor, New York, New York 10004 to aid in the solicitation of proxies at a cost estimated not to exceed $1,800, plus out-of-pocket expenses. The cost of soliciting proxies will be borne by AIG or an affiliate thereof. This Proxy Statement and Prospectus does not contain all of the information set forth in the registration statements and the exhibits relating thereto which North American Funds and SunAmerica Money Market Funds, Inc. have filed on behalf of their respective Funds with the Commission under the Securities Act and the Investment Company Act, to which reference is hereby made. The Funds are subject to the informational requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the Investment Company Act, and in accordance therewith file reports and other information with the Commission. Proxy material, reports and other information filed by the Funds (or by North American Funds on behalf of the Acquired Funds or SunAmerica Money Market Funds, Inc. on behalf of the Acquiring Funds) can be inspected and copied at the public reference facilities maintained by the Commission at 450 Fifth Street, N.W., in Washington, D.C. 20549. Copies of such materials also can be obtained by mail from the Public Reference Branch, Office of Consumer Affairs and Information Services, Securities and Exchange Commission, Washington, D.C. 20549, at prescribed rates. The Commission maintains a Web site (http://www.sec.gov) that contains the Statements of Additional Information and Prospectuses of the Acquired Funds and Acquiring Funds, as well as other material incorporated by reference and other information regarding the Funds. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS There are no material legal proceedings to which any of the Funds is a party. 49 LEGAL OPINIONS Certain legal matters in connection with the issuance of Corresponding Shares have been passed upon by Robert M. Zakem, Esq., General Counsel for SAAMCo. Certain tax matters in connection with the Reorganizations will be passed upon for the Funds by Shearman & Sterling, 599 Lexington Avenue, New York, New York 10022, counsel for the Acquiring Funds. EXPERTS The financial highlights of the Acquired Funds and the SunAmerica Money Market Funds incorporated by reference into this Proxy Statement and Prospectus have been so included in reliance on the reports of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, independent auditors, given on their authority as experts in auditing and accounting. The principal business address of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP is 1177 Avenue of the Americas, New York, New York 10036. SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS A shareholder proposal intended to be presented at any subsequent meeting of shareholders of an Acquired Fund must be received by such Acquired Fund in a reasonable time before the solicitation by the Board of Trustees of North American Funds relating to such meeting is to be made in order to be considered in such Acquired Fund's proxy statement and form of proxy relating to the meeting. If Proposal Nos. 2(a)-(b) are approved at the Meeting, there will likely not be any future shareholder meeting of the Acquired Funds.

North American Funds By: --------------------------------- American General Asset Management Corp.

(or an affiliate), a Delaware limited partnership (the "Subadviser"). In consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein, the parties agree as follows: 1. APPOINTMENT OF SUBADVISER The Subadviser undertakes to act as investment subadviser to, and, subject to the supervision of the Trustees of North American Funds (the "Trust") and the terms of this Agreement, to manage the investment and reinvestment of the assets of the series of the Trust specified in Appendix A to this Agreement as it shall be amended by the Adviser and the Subadviser from time to time (the "Funds"). The Subadviser will be an independent contractor and will have no authority to act for or represent the Trust or Adviser in any way except as expressly authorized in this Agreement or another writing by the Trust and Adviser. 2. SERVICES TO BE RENDERED BY THE SUBADVISER TO THE TRUST a. Subject always to the direction and control of the Trustees of the Trust, the Subadviser will manage the investments and determine the composition of the assets of the Funds in accordance with the Funds' registration statement, as amended. In fulfilling its obligations to manage the investments and reinvestments of the assets of the Funds, the Subadviser will: i. obtain and evaluate pertinent economic, statistical, financial and other information affecting the economy generally and individual companies or industries the securities of which are included in the Funds or are under consideration for inclusion in the Funds; ii. formulate and implement a continuous investment program for each Fund consistent with the investment objectives and related investment policies for each such Fund as described in the Trust's registration statement, as amended; iii. take whatever steps are necessary to implement these investment programs by the purchase and sale of securities including the placing of orders for such purchases and sales; iv. regularly report to the Trustees of the Trust with respect to the implementation of these investment programs; v. provide assistance to the Trust's Custodian regarding the fair value of securities held by the Funds for which market quotations are not readily available for purposes of enabling the Trust's Custodian to calculate net asset value; and vi. vote proxies in accordance with the Proxy Voting Policy of the Trust. b. The Subadviser, at its expense, will furnish (i) all necessary investment and management facilities, including salaries of personnel required for it to execute its duties faithfully, and (ii) administrative facilities, including bookkeeping, clerical personnel and equipment necessary for the efficient conduct of the investment affairs of the Funds (excluding determination of net asset value and shareholder accounting services). c.

The Subadviser may pay a broker-dealer which provides research and brokerage services a higher spread or commission for a particular IB-1 transaction than otherwise might have been charged by another broker- dealer, if the Subadviser determines that the higher spread or commission is reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and research services that such broker-dealer provides, viewed in terms of either the particular transaction or the Subadviser's overall responsibilities with respect to accounts managed by the Subadviser. The Subadviser may use for the benefit of the Subadviser's other clients, or make available to companies affiliated with the Subadviser or to its directors for the benefit of its clients, any such brokerage and research services that the Subadviser obtains from brokers or dealers. d. On occasions when the Subadviser deems the purchase or sale of a security to be in the best interest of the Fund as well as other clients of the Subadviser, the Subadviser to the extent permitted by applicable laws and regulations, may, but shall be under no obligation to, aggregate the securities to be purchased or sold to attempt to obtain a more favorable price or lower brokerage commissions and efficient execution. In such event, allocation of the securities so purchased or sold, as well as the expenses incurred in the transaction, will be made by the Subadviser in the manner the Subadviser considers to be the most equitable and consistent with its fiduciary obligations to the Fund and to its other clients. e. The Subadviser will maintain all accounts, books and records with respect to the Funds as are required of an investment adviser of a registered investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Investment Company Act") and Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the "Investment Advisers Act") and the rules thereunder. f. The Subadviser agrees to observe and comply with Rule 17j-1 under the Investment Company Act and its Code of Ethics (which shall comply in all material respects with Rule 17j-1, as the same may be amended from time to time). On a quarterly basis, the Subadviser will either (i) certify to the Adviser that the Subadviser and its Access Persons have complied with the Subadviser's Code of Ethics with respect to the Fund or (ii) identify any material violations which have occurred with respect to the Fund. In addition, the Subadviser will report at least annually to the Adviser concerning any other violations of the Subadviser's Code of Ethics which required significant remedial action and which were not previously reported. 3. COMPENSATION OF SUBADVISER The Adviser will pay the Subadviser with respect to each Fund the compensation specified in Appendix A to this Agreement. During the term of this Agreement, the following conditions apply: a. The fee shall be held in an interest-bearing escrow account with State Street Bank and Trust Company; b. If a majority of a Covered Fund's outstanding voting securities approve a new investment sub-advisory agreement (the "New Sub-Advisory Agreement") with the SUB-ADVISER within 150 days after the date hereof, the amount in the escrow account (including interest earned thereon) with respect to such Covered Fund shall be paid to the SUB-ADVISER; and c. If a majority of a Covered Fund's outstanding voting securities do not approve a New Sub-Advisory Agreement with the SUB-ADVISER within such 150-day period, the SUB-ADVISER shall be paid from the escrow account, the lesser of an amount equal to (i) any costs incurred in performing this Agreement (plus interest earned on that amount in the escrow account); or (ii) the total amount in the escrow account (plus interest earned thereon). IB-2 4.

B-2 GENERAL INFORMATION The shareholders of each separate investment portfolio of North American Funds, a Massachusetts business trust (each an "Acquired Fund" and collectively, the "Acquired Funds"), are being asked to approve or disapprove (i) a new investment advisory agreement (the "New Investment Advisory Agreement") between American General Asset Management Corp. ("AGAM") and North American Funds on behalf of each of the Acquired Funds, the terms of which are the same in all material respects as the previous investment advisory agreement with AGAM and (ii) a new subadvisory agreement (the "New Subadvisory Agreement") between AGAM and American General Investment Management, L.P. ("AGIM") or an affiliate thereof, the terms of which are the same in all material respects as the previous subadvisory agreement between AGAM and AGIM. In addition, shareholders of each Acquired Fund are being asked to approve or disapprove an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (each a "Plan") between each of the Acquired Funds and the respective investment portfolio of SunAmerica Money Market Funds, Inc., a Maryland corporation, set forth below (each an "Acquiring Fund," and collectively, the "Acquiring Funds"):
Acquired Fund Acquiring Fund ------------- -------------- Money Market Fund........................ SunAmerica Money Market Fund Municipal Money Market Fund.............. SunAmerica Municipal Money Market Fund
Each Plan provides for the acquisition by an Acquiring Fund of substantially all of the assets, and assumption of substantially all of the liabilities, of the respective Acquired Fund, solely in exchange for an equal aggregate value of newly issued shares (the "Corresponding Shares") of such Acquiring Fund. Each such transaction is referred to herein as a "Reorganization" and collectively, as the "Reorganizations." Immediately thereafter, and as part of the respective Reorganization, such Acquired Fund will distribute the Corresponding Shares received in such Reorganization to its shareholders. The consummation of one Reorganization is not conditioned upon the consummation of any other Reorganization. The Acquired Funds and the Acquiring Funds are sometimes collectively referred to herein as the "Funds." Shareholders will receive the same class of Corresponding Shares as the shares of the respective Acquired Fund held by them immediately prior to the applicable Reorganization although the name of the class may be different. For example, if a shareholder owns Class C shares of an Acquired Fund, he or she will receive Class II shares of the respective Acquiring Fund since the Acquiring Funds do not have a class of shares called Class C. The aggregate net asset value of the Corresponding Shares will equal the aggregate net asset value of a shareholder's Acquired Fund shares. Because all of the Funds seek to maintain a price per share of $1.00, a shareholder should end up with the same number of shares. In any event, the total dollar value of the shares will be the same. A Joint Special Meeting of the Acquired Funds' shareholders to consider the New Investment Advisory Agreement, the New Subadvisory Agreement and the Plans will be held at the principal executive offices of North American Funds, 286 Congress Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02210 on November 7, 2001, at 10:00 a.m., Eastern Time. The approximate mailing date of the Proxy Statement and Prospectus is October 5, 2001. For further information about the Reorganizations, see the Proxy Statement and Prospectus. B-3 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Unaudited Pro forma financial statements reflecting consummation of the Reorganization relating to the Money Market Funds are not included because the net assets of the Money Market Fund of North American Funds are less than 10% of the net assets of the SunAmerica Money Market Fund. Unaudited Pro forma financial statements reflecting consummation of the Reorganization relating to the Municipal Money Market Funds are not included because the SunAmerica Municipal Money Market Fund is a newly created investment portfolio of SunAmerica Money Market Funds, Inc. Acquired Funds Audited financial statements and accompanying notes for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2000 for the Acquired Funds and the independent auditor's report thereon are incorporated herein by reference from the Acquired Funds' Annual Report to Shareholders, which accompanies this Statement of Additional Information. Unaudited financial statements and accompanying notes for the six months ended April 30, 2001 for the Acquired Funds are incorporated herein by reference from the Acquired Funds' Semi-Annual Report to Shareholders, which accompanies this Statement of Additional Information. Acquiring Funds Audited financial statements and accompanying notes for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000 for the Existing Acquiring Fund and the independent auditor's report thereon are incorporated herein by reference from the Existing Acquiring Fund's Annual Report to Shareholders, which accompanies this Statement of Additional Information.

B-4 PART C OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 15. INDEMNIFICATION. Reference is made to Section 5.1 of the Registrant's By-Laws which is set forth below. 5.1 Indemnification of Directors, Officers, Employees and Agents 1. The Registrant shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the Registrant or any of its shareholders) by reason of the fact that he is or was a Director, officer, employee or agent of the Registrant. The indemnification shall be against expenses, including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement, actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the action, suit or proceeding, if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Registrant, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceedings, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendre or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Registrant, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful. 2. The Registrant shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or on behalf of the Registrant or any of its shareholders to obtain a judgment or decree in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a Director, officer, employee or agent of the Registrant. The indemnification shall be against expenses, including attorneys' fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of the action or suit, if acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Registrant; except that such indemnification shall preclude payment upon any liability, whether or not there is an adjudication of liability, arising by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or reckless disregard of duties as described in Section 17(h) and (i) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "Investment Company Act"). 3. To the extent that a Director, officer, employee or agent of the Registrant has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in subsections (a) or (b) or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be indemnified against expenses, including attorneys' fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith. 4. (1) Unless a court orders otherwise, any indemnification under subsections (a) or (b) above may be made by the Registrant only as authorized in the specific case after a determination that indemnification of the Director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in subsections (a) or (b). (2) The determination shall be made: (i) by the Directors, by a majority vote of a quorum which consists of Directors who were not parties to the action, suit or proceeding; or (ii) if the required quorum is not obtainable, or if a quorum of disinterested Directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion; or (iii) by the Shareholders. (3) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5.1 of the Registrant's By-Laws, no person shall be entitled to indemnification for any liability, whether or not there is an adjudication of liability, arising by C-1 reason of willful malfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of duties as described in Section 17(h) and (i) of the Investment Company Act ("Disabling Conduct"). A person shall be deemed not liable by reason of Disabling Conduct if, either: (i) a final decision on the merits is made by a court or other body before whom the proceeding was brought that the person to be indemnified ("Indemnitee") was not liable by reason of Disabling Conduct; or (ii) in the absence of such a decision, a reasonable determination, based upon a review of the facts, that the Indemnitee was not liable by reason of Disabling Conduct, is made by either: (A) a majority of a quorum of Directors who are neither "interested persons" of the Registrant, as defined in section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act, nor parties to the action, suit or proceeding; (B) an independent legal counsel in a written opinion. 5. Expenses, including attorneys' fees, incurred by a Director, officer, employee or agent of the Registrant in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding may be paid by the Registrant in advance of the final disposition thereof if: (1) authorized in the specific case by the Directors; and (2) the Registrant receives an undertaking by or on behalf of the Director, officer, employee or agent of the Registrant to repay the advance if it is not ultimately determined that such person is entitled to be indemnified by the Registrant; and (3) either, (i) such person provides a security for his undertaking; or (ii) the Registrant is insured against losses by reason of any lawful advances; or (iii) a determination, based on a review or readily available facts, that there is reason to believe that such person ultimately will be found entitled to indemnification, is made by either (A) A majority of a quorum which consists of Directors who are neither "interested persons" of the Registrant, as defined in section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act, nor parties to the action, suit or proceeding; or (B) an independent legal counsel in a written opinion. 6. The indemnification provided by Section 5.1 of the Registrant's By-Laws shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which a person may be entitled under any by-law, agreement, vote of Shareholders or disinterested Directors or otherwise, both as to action in his official capacity and as to action in another application while holding office, and shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a Director, officer, employee or agent and inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such person; provided that no person may satisfy any right of indemnity or reimbursement granted herein or to which he may be otherwise entitled except out of the property of the Registrant, and no Shareholder, as such, shall be personally liable with respect to any claim for indemnity or reimbursement or otherwise. 7. The Registrant may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a Director, officer, employee or agent of the Registrant, against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out of his status as such. However, in no event will the Registrant pay that portion of insurance premiums, if any, attributable to coverage which would indemnify any officer or Director against liability for Disabling Conduct. 8. Nothing contained in Section 5.1 of the Registrant's By-laws shall be construed to protect any Director or officer of the Registrant against any liability to the Registrant or to its security holders to which he C-2 would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of his office. Reference is made to Section 5.3 of the Registrant's Articles of Incorporation which provides that Directors shall provide for indemnification by the Registrant of any person who is, or has been a Director, officer, employee or agent of the Registrant against all liability and against all expenses reasonably incurred or paid by him in connection with any claim, action, suit or proceeding in which he becomes involved as a party or otherwise by virtue of his being or having been a Director, officer, employee or agent and against amounts paid or incurred by him in the settlement thereof, in such manner as the Director may provide from time to time in the By-Laws of the Registrant. The words "claim," "action," "suit" or "proceeding" shall apply to all claims, actions, suits or proceedings (civil, criminal or other, including appeals), actual or threatened; and the words "liability" and "expenses" shall include, without limitation, attorneys' fees, costs, judgments, amounts paid in settlement, fines, penalties and other liabilities. Reference is made to Section 5 of the Distribution Agreement (the "Distribution Agreement") between SunAmerica Capital Services, Inc. (the "Distributor") and the Registrant which is set forth below: (a) The Registrant will indemnify and hold harmless the Distributor and each person, if any, who controls the Distributor within the meaning of the Investment Company Act against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Distributor or such controlling person may become subject, under the Investment Company Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registrant's Registration Statement, Prospectus or Statement Additional Information or any other written sales material prepared by the Registrant or the separate investment portfolios of the Registrant (the "Funds") which is utilized by the Distributor in connection with the sale of shares of beneficial interest of a Fund (the "Shares") or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or (in the case of the Registrant's Registration Statement, Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information) necessary to make the statement therein not misleading or (in the case of such other sales material) necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances under which they were made; and will reimburse the Distributor and each such controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Distributor or such controlling person in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the Registrant or the Funds will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in such Registration Statement, Prospectus or Statement of Additional Information in conformity with written information furnished to the Registrant by the Distributor specifically for use therein; and provided, further, that nothing in the Distribution Agreement shall be so construed as to protect the Distributor against any liability to the Registrant or the Funds, or the security holders of the Funds to which the Distributor would otherwise be subject by reason of Disabling Conduct. This indemnity provision will be in addition to any liability which the Registrant may otherwise have. (b) The Distributor will indemnify and hold harmless the Registrant, each of its Directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls the Registrant within the meaning of the Investment Company Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Registrant or any such Director, officer or controlling person may become subject under the Investment Company Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registrant's Registration Statement, Prospectus or Statement of Additional Information or any sales material not prepared by the Registrant or the Funds which is utilized in connection with the sale of the Shares or arise out of or are based upon the omissions or the alleged omission to state therein a material C-3 fact required to be stated therein or (in the case of the Registrant's Registration Statement, Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information) necessary to make the statement therein not misleading or (in the case of such other sales material) necessary to make the statement therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, in the case of the Registrant's Registration Statement, Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in conformity with written information furnished to the Registrant by the Distributor specifically for use therein; and the Distributor will reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Registrant or any such Director, officer or controlling person in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action. This indemnity provision will be in addition to any liability which the Distributor may otherwise have. Reference is made to Section 7 of the Investment Advisory and Management Agreement (the "Advisory Agreement") between the Registrant and SunAmerica Asset Management Corp. ("SAAMCo") which is set forth below. 7. Liability of Adviser. In the absence of Disabling Conduct on the part of SAAMCo (and its officers, directors, agents, employees, controlling persons, shareholders and any other person or entity affiliated with SAAMCo) SAAMCo shall not be subject to liability to the Registrant or to any shareholder of the Registrant for any act or omission in the course of, or connected with, rendering services under the Advisory Agreement, including without limitation, any error of judgment or mistake of law or for any loss suffered by any of them in connection with the matters to which the Advisory Agreement relates, except to the extent specified in Section 36(b) of the Investment Company Act concerning loss resulting from a breach of fiduciary duty with respect to the receipt of compensation for services. Except for such Disabling Conduct, the Registrant shall indemnify SAAMCo (and its officers, directors, partners, agents, employees, controlling persons, shareholders and any other person or entity affiliated with SAAMCo) (collectively, the "Indemnified Parties") from any liability arising from SAAMCo's conduct under the Advisory Agreement. Indemnification to SAAMCo or any of its personnel or affiliates shall be made when (i) a final decision on the merits rendered, by a court or other body before whom the proceeding was brought, that the person to be indemnified was not liable by reason of Disabling Conduct or, (ii) in the absence of such a decision, a reasonable determination, based upon a review of the facts, that the person to be indemnified was not liable by reason of Disabling Conduct, by (a) the vote of a majority of a quorum of the Directors who are neither "interested persons" of the Registrant as defined in section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act nor parties to the proceeding ("disinterested, non-party Directors") or (b) an independent legal counsel in a written opinion. The Registrant may, by vote of a majority of the disinterested, non-party Directors advance attorneys' fees or other expenses incurred by an Indemnified Party in defending a proceeding upon the undertaking by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party to repay the advance unless it is ultimately determined that he is entitled to indemnification. Such advance shall be subject to at least one of the following: (1) the person to be indemnified shall provide a security for his undertaking, (2) the Registrant shall be insured against losses arising by reason of any lawful advances, or (3) a majority of a quorum of the disinterested, non-party Directors or an independent legal counsel in a written opinion, shall determine, based on a review of readily available facts, that there is reason to believe that the person to be indemnified ultimately will be found entitled to indemnification. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") may be permitted to Directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant and the principal underwriter pursuant to the foregoing provisions or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a Director, officer, or controlling person of the Registrant and the principal underwriter in C-4 connection with the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such Director, officer or controlling person or the principal underwriter in connection with the shares being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
