meetings are being held on April 25, 2007 (each, an
Annual Meeting) for the shareholders of the
respective Fund to consider this proposal and to transact any

This Proxy Statement contains detailed information about the
proposal, and we recommend that you read it carefully. We have
attached a Questions and Answers section that we
hope will assist you in evaluating the proposal.
We appreciate your cooperation and continued support.

Each Annual Meeting is being held to consider and vote on the

herein:
Matter to be voted upon by Shareholders of each Fund:
|
|
|
|
(1) |
To elect two Directors to serve as Class II Directors for
three-year terms, which expire at the annual meeting of
shareholders to be held in 2010, and until their successors are

AIG SunAmerica Asset Management Corp. (AIG
SunAmerica) serves as the investment adviser and
administrator to each Fund.
The principal business office and address of AIG SunAmerica is
Harborside Financial Center, 3200 Plaza 5, Jersey City, New
Jersey 07311. AIG SunAmerica was organized as a Delaware
corporation in 1982. It is an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary
of American Interna-
1
tional Group, Inc. (AIG). AIG 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.
VOTING INFORMATION
Shareholders of record of a respective Fund at the close of
business on March 14, 2007 (the Record Date)
are entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Annual Meeting.
The number of Shares of each Fund that were issued and
outstanding as of the Record Date is set forth in Exhibit A
to this Proxy Statement.
Quorum. A quorum for the transaction of business at the
Annual Meeting is constituted with respect to a Fund by the
presence in person or by proxy of holders of one third of the
Shares of the Fund entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. For
purposes of determining the presence of a quorum at the Annual
Meeting, abstentions and broker non-votes (that is, Shares held
in street name for which the broker indicates that instructions
have not been received from the beneficial owners or other
persons entitled to vote, and the broker does not have
discretionary voting authority) will be counted as Shares
present for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present.
Required Vote. The vote of a plurality of all of the
votes cast at the Annual Meeting at which a quorum is present is
necessary for the election of a director. For purposes of the
election of directors, abstentions will not be counted as votes
cast and will have no effect on the result of the vote. Brokers
who hold Shares in street name for the beneficial owners or
other persons entitled to vote have discretionary authority to
vote on routine proposals, such as the election of
directors, when they have not received instructions from the
beneficial owners of those Shares. Proxies from brokers
indicating that such persons have not received instructions from
the beneficial owner or other persons entitled to vote Shares on
the proposal will be voted FOR the proposal.
In the event that a quorum is not present at the Annual Meeting
for a Fund, or if a quorum is present at the Annual Meeting but
sufficient votes to approve a proposal for a Fund are not
received, the persons named as proxy holders may propose one or
more adjournments of the Annual Meeting for the affected Fund to
permit further solicitation of proxies. Any adjournment will
require the affirmative vote of a majority of those Shares
represented at the Annual Meeting, whether in person or by
proxy. In such a case, the persons named as proxy holders will
vote those proxies which they are entitled to vote in favor of
the proposal FOR the adjournment as to that
proposal, and will vote those proxies required to be voted
against the proposal AGAINST the adjournment
as to that proposal.
The individuals named as proxy holders on the enclosed proxy
card will vote in accordance with your direction as indicated
thereon, if your proxy card is received properly executed by you
or by your duly appointed agent or
attorney-in-fact.
With respect to each Fund, if you give no voting
instructions, your Shares will be voted FOR the
nominees named herein for the respective Board and, in the proxy
holders discretion with respect to any other business that
may properly arise at the Annual Meeting.
2
Any person giving a proxy has the power to revoke it at any time
prior to its exercise by executing a superseding proxy or by
submitting a written notice of revocation to the Funds
Secretary (the Secretary) at AIG SunAmerica Asset
Management Corp., Harborside Financial Center, 3200
Plaza 5, Jersey City, New Jersey 07311. To be effective,
such revocation must be received by the Secretary prior to the
Annual Meeting and must indicate your name and account number.
In addition, although mere attendance at the Annual Meeting will
not revoke a proxy, a Shareholder present at the Annual Meeting
may withdraw his or her proxy by voting in person.
Each Fund will furnish, without charge, a copy of each
Funds annual report for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2006 to a Shareholder upon request. To request
a copy, please write the Fund c/o AIG SunAmerica at
Harborside Financial Center, 3200 Plaza 5, Jersey City, New
Jersey 07311, or call the Fund at
1-800-858-8850.
PROPOSAL 1: ELECTION OF CLASS II DIRECTORS
Each Funds Articles of Incorporation provide that the
Board will be divided into three classes, as determined by the
Board, each of which will serve for three years, with one class
being elected each year. Each year the term of office of one
class expires. Directors who are deemed interested
persons (as that term is defined in Section 2(a)(19)
of the 1940 Act) of a respective Fund or AIG SunAmerica, are
referred to in this Proxy Statement as Interested
Directors. Directors who are not interested persons as
described above are referred to in this Proxy Statement as
Independent Directors.
Dr. Judith L. Craven and Mr. William J. Shea were
elected by the initial Shareholder as Directors of each
respective Fund. Dr. Craven and Mr. Shea were elected
as Class II Directors for each Fund to serve until the 2007
Annual Meeting and until their respective successors are duly
elected and qualify.
The Board of each Fund, including the Independent Directors,
upon the recommendation of each Boards Nominating and
Compensation Committee, which is composed solely of Independent
Directors, has nominated Dr. Craven and Mr. Shea to
serve as Class II Directors for three-year terms to expire
at the annual meeting of Shareholders to be held in 2010, and
until their successors are duly elected and qualify. The
nominees have indicated an intention to serve if elected and
have consented to be named in this Proxy Statement.
It is the intention of the persons named as proxy holders on the
enclosed proxy card to vote FOR the election
of Dr. Craven and Mr. Shea to serve as Class II
Directors. The Board of each Fund knows of no reason why any of
these nominees will be unable to serve, but in the event of any
such inability, the proxies received will be voted for such
substituted nominees as the Board may recommend.
The names of each Funds nominees for election as
Class II Directors and the other Directors of the Funds,
their ages and principal occupations during the past five years,
are provided in the tables below. Unless otherwise noted, the
address of each Director is care of AIG SunAmerica, Harborside
Financial Center, 3200 Plaza 5, Jersey City, New Jersey
07311.

required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards
No. 61; (c) received certain written disclosures and

accounting firms independence with them; and
(d) based upon its review of the above, recommended to the
Board that the Funds audited financial statements be
included in each Funds annual report to Shareholders for
the fiscal year.
The Board of each Fund has adopted an Audit Committee Charter. A

|
|
|
Nominating and
Compensation Committee |
Each Funds Board has established a Nominating and

of the individual to stand for election if nominated by the
Board and to serve if elected by Shareholders. In addition, such
letter shall set forth (i) the age, business address and
residence address of such nominee (ii) the number of any
shares of stock of the Fund that are beneficially owned by such
nominee, (iii) the date such shares were acquired and the

regarding such nominee that is sufficient, in the discretion of
the Board or the Nominating and Compensation Committee or any
authorized officer of each of the Funds, to make such
determination and (v) all other information relating to
such nominee that is required to be disclosed in solicitations
of proxies for election of directors in an election contest
(even if an election contest is not involved), or is otherwise
required, in each case pursuant to Regulation 14A (or any
successor provision) under the Exchange Act and the rules
adopted thereunder (including such individuals written
consent to being named in the proxy statement as a nominee and
to serving as a director if elected).
The Board of each Fund has adopted and Nomination and
Compensation Committee Charter. A copy of the Nomination and
Compensation Committee Charter is attached as Exhibit C.
Each Funds Board has established an Ethics Committee,
which is responsible for, among other things, applying the Code
of Ethics applicable to the Funds Principal Executive
Officer and Principal Accounting Officer (the Code)
to specific situations in which questions are presented to it
and has the authority to interpret the Code in any particular
situation. The Ethics Committee is also responsible for
reviewing the ethical standards of all Fund service providers as
they apply to the Fund; evaluating and, if necessary,
investigating situations that raise or appear to raise ethical
concerns; and reporting their findings and recommendations to
the Board. The Ethics Committee will inform the Board of
violations or waivers to the Code, as appropriate. The members
of the Ethics Committee are Dr. Craven and Mr. Burum.
Each Funds Board has established a Governance Committee,
which is responsible for, among other things, reviewing and
making recommendations with respect to the size and composition
of the Board and its committees and monitoring and evaluating
the functioning of the committees of the Board. The members of
the Governance Committee are Messrs. Burum, Devin and
Gutman.

Chairman of the Fund) for serving as an Independent Director for
each Fund. Effective February 2007, the Directors also receive
fees for attending meetings of the Audit Committee and Special
Meetings of the Board. Officers of the Fund receive no direct

INFORMATION CONCERNING THE FUNDS INDEPENDENT
REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Each Funds financial statements for its last-completed
fiscal year were audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP
(PWC), an independent registered public accounting
firm. In addition, PWC prepares each Funds federal and
state annual income tax returns and provides
11
certain non-audit services. Each Funds Audit Committee has
considered whether the provision of those non-audit services is
compatible with maintaining PWCs independence. Each Audit
Committee has selected PWC as the Funds independent
registered public accounting firm and such selection has been
ratified by each Funds Board. PWC has served as the
independent registered public accounting firm to each Fund for
the fiscal years ended December 31, 2005 and
December 31, 2006. PWC has informed each Fund that it has
no material direct or indirect financial interest in the Fund.
Representatives of PWC are not expected to be present at the
Annual Meeting, but have been given the opportunity to make a
statement if they so desire and will be available should any
matter arise requiring their presence.
Audit Fees
The aggregate fees billed by PWC for professional services
rendered to FGF and FGI for the audit of each Funds annual
financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31,
2006 were $23,819 and $23,819, respectively. For the fiscal year
ended December 31, 2005, such audit fees were $35,625 and
$29,550, respectively. Fees included in the audit fees category
are those associated with the annual audits of financial
statements and services that are normally provided in connection
with statutory and regulatory filings, including the Funds
initial registration statements.
Audit-Related Fees
There were no audit-related fees billed by PWC for services
rendered to FGF and FGI that were reasonably related to the
performance of the audits of the financial statements, but not
reported as audit fees, for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2006 or for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2005.
With respect to
Rule 2-01(c)(7)(i)(C)
of Regulation S-X,
there were no audit-related fees that were approved by the Audit
Committee pursuant to the de minimis exception for the
Funds fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 on behalf
of (i) the Funds investment adviser and any entity
controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the
investment adviser (Adviser Affiliates) that
provides ongoing services to the Funds, or (ii) the Funds
themselves. There were no audit-related fees required to be
approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of
Rule 2-01 of
Regulation S-X
(services provided by PWC to Service Affiliates that require
pre-approval of the Funds Audit Committees) during the
fiscal years indicated above.
Tax Fees
The aggregate tax fees billed by PWC for services rendered to
FGF anf FGI for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006
were $12,495 and $12,495, respectively. For the fiscal year
ended December 31, 2005, such aggregate tax fees were
$7,325 and $6,025, respectively. Fees included in the tax fees
category comprise all services performed by professional staff
in the independent registered public accounting firms tax
division except those services related to the audits. This
12
category comprises fees for review of tax compliance, tax return
preparation and excise tax calculations.
With respect to
Rule 2-01(c)(7)(i)(C)
of Regulation S-X,
there were no tax fees that were approved by the Audit Committee
pursuant to the de minimis exception for the Funds
fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 on behalf of
(i) Adviser Affiliates, or (ii) the Funds themselves.
There were no tax fees required to be approved pursuant to
paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of
Rule 2-01 of
Regulation S-X
during the fiscal years indicated above.
All Other Fees
For the Funds fiscal years ended December 31, 2006,
and December 31, 2005, there were no fees billed by PWC for
other services provided to any Fund. Fees included in the all
other fees category would consist of services related to
internal control reviews, strategy and other consulting,
financial information systems design and implementation,
consulting on other information systems, and other tax services
unrelated to the Funds.
There were no fees billed by PWC for the most recent fiscal year
for professional services rendered for financial information
systems design and implementation services provided to the
Funds, AIG SunAmerica and entities that control, are controlled
by or are under common control with AIG SunAmerica that provide
services to the Funds.
With respect to
Rule 2-01(c)(7)(i)(C)
of Regulation S-X,
there were no fees within this category that were approved by
the Audit Committee pursuant to the de minimis exception
for the Funds fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 on
behalf of (i) Adviser Affiliates, or (ii) the Funds
themselves. There were no all other fees required to
be approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of
Rule 2-01 of
Regulation S-X
during the fiscal years indicated above.
Each Funds Audit Committee Charter contains pre-approval
policies and procedures. Reproduced below is an excerpt from the
Audit Committee Charter regarding pre-approval policies and
procedures:
The Audit Committee shall carry out the following functions:
|
|
|
|
2. |
To approve prior to appointment the engagement of the
Independent Auditor to provide other audit services to the Fund
or to provide non-audit services to the
Fund,(2)
its investment adviser, subadviser (not including a subadviser
whose role is primarily portfolio management and is
sub-contracted or overseen by another investment adviser) or any
entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with
the investment adviser (control affiliate) that
provides ongoing services to the Fund, if the |
|
|
(2) |
The Independent Auditor is prohibited from providing certain
non-audit services to the Fund at any point during the audit and
professional engagement period. The prohibited non-audit
services include: (i) bookkeeping or other services related
to the accounting records or financial statements of the Fund;
(ii) financial information systems design and
implementation; (iii) appraisal or valuation services,
fairness opinions or
contribution-in-kind
reports; (iv) actuarial services; (v) internal audit
outsourcing services; (vi) management functions or human
resources; (vii) broker or dealer, investment adviser or
investment banking services; (viii) legal services;
(ix) expert services unrelated to the audit; and
(x) any other service the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board determines, by regulation, is |
impermissible.
13
|
|
|
|
|
engagement relates directly to
the operations and financial reporting of the
Fund.(3)
The Committee may delegate to one or more of its members
(Delegates) authority to pre-approve permissible
non-audit services to be provided to the Fund. Any pre-approval
determination of a Delegate shall be presented to the full
Committee at its next meeting. The Committee may also, to the
extent deemed appropriate, adopt policies and procedures for
pre-approval of the engagement of the Funds Independent
Auditor to provide any services described in this
paragraph 2.
|
Aggregate Non-Audit Fees
The aggregate non-audit fees billed by PWC for services rendered
to the Funds for each of the last two fiscal years are set forth
in Exhibit E. No Funds Audit Committee was required
to consider whether the provision of non-audit services that
were rendered to the Funds investment adviser (not
including any subadviser whose role is primarily portfolio
management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another
investment adviser), and any entity controlling, controlled by,
or under common control with the investment advisor that
provides ongoing services to the Fund that were not pre-approved
pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of
Rule 2-01 of
Regulation S-X,
was compatible with maintaining PWCs independence.
For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, PWC did not
provide any non-audit services to AIG SunAmerica and Advisor
Affiliates that provide services to the Funds.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
On February 9, 2006, AIG, the parent company and an
affiliated person of AIG SunAmerica, announced that it had
consented to the settlement of an injunctive action instituted
by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). In
its complaint, the SEC alleged that AIG violated
Section 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
Sections 10(b), 13(a), 13(b)(2) and 13(b)(5) of the
Exchange Act and
Rules 10b-5,
12b-20,
13a-1 and 13b2-1
promulgated thereunder, in connection with AIGs accounting
and public reporting practices. The conduct described in the
complaint did not involve any conduct of AIG or its subsidiaries
related to their investment advisory or distribution activities
with respect to the assets of the Funds.
AIG, without admitting or denying the allegations in the
complaint (except as to jurisdiction), consented to the entry of
an injunction against further violations of the statutes
referred to above. Absent exemptive relief granted by the SEC,
the entry of such an injunction
|
|
(3) |
Pre-approval by the Committee of any permissible non-audit
services is not required so long as: (i) the aggregate
amount of all such permissible non-audit services provided
constitutes not more than 5% of the total amount of revenues
paid to the Independent Auditor by the Fund, its investment
adviser and control affiliate during the fiscal year in which
the services are provided; (ii) the permissible non-audit
services were not recognized by the Fund at the time of the
engagement to be non-audit services; and (iii) such
services are promptly brought to the attention of the Committee
and approved by the Committee or its delegate(s) prior to the
completion of the audit for the year in which the services were |
rendered.
14
would prohibit AIG and its affiliated persons from, among other
things, serving as an investment adviser of any registered
investment management company or principal underwriter for any
registered open-end investment company pursuant to
Section 9(a) of 1940 Act. Certain affiliated persons of
AIG, including the Adviser, received a temporary order from the
SEC pursuant to Section 9(c) of the 1940 Act with respect
to the entry of the injunction, granting exemptive relief from
the provisions of Section 9(a) of the 1940 Act. The
temporary order permits AIG and its affiliated persons,
including AIGs investment management subsidiaries, to
continue to serve as investment adviser of the Funds. The
Adviser expects that a permanent exemptive order will be
granted, although there is no assurance the SEC will issue the
order.
Additionally, AIG and its subsidiaries reached a resolution of
claims and matters under investigation with the United State
Department of Justice (DOJ), the Attorney General of
the State of New York (NYAG) and the New York State
Department of Insurance (DOI), regarding accounting,
financial reporting and insurance brokerage practices of AIG and
its subsidiaries, as well as claims relating to the underpayment
of certain workers compensation premium taxes and other
assessments.
As a result of the settlements with the SEC, the DOJ, the NYAG
and the DOI, AIG made payments totaling approximately
$1.64 billion. In addition, as part of its settlements, AIG
has agreed to retain for a period of three years an Independent
Consultant who will conduct a review that will include the
adequacy of AIGs internal controls over financial
reporting and the remediation plan that AIG has implemented as a
result of its own internal review.
Subject to receipt of permanent relief, the Adviser believes
that the settlements are not likely to have a material adverse
effect on its ability to perform investment advisory services
relating to the Funds.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The solicitation of proxies will be made primarily by mail, but
solicitations may also be made by telephone or in person by
regular employees of AIG SunAmerica who will not receive any
compensation from the Funds. All costs of a Funds
solicitation, including (a) printing and mailing of this
Proxy Statement and accompanying material and (b) the
reimbursement of brokerage firms and others for their expenses
in forwarding solicitation material to the beneficial owners of
the Funds Shares will be borne by such Fund.
SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING
COMPLIANCE
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, and Section 30(h)
of the 1940 Act, as applied to the Fund, require each
Funds Officers, Directors, AIG SunAmerica, affiliates of
AIG SunAmerica and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of
the Funds outstanding securities (Reporting
Persons), to electronically file reports of ownership of
the Funds securities and changes in such ownership with
the SEC and the NYSE. Such persons are required by SEC
regulations to furnish the Fund with copies of all such filings.
15
Based solely on its review of the copies of such forms received
by it and written representations from certain Reporting Persons
that no year-end reports were required for those persons, each

AUDIT COMMITTEE CHARTER
Mission
The mission of the Audit Committee (the Committee)
of the Boards of Directors (each, a Board) of
SunAmerica Focused Alpha Growth Fund, Inc. and SunAmerica
Focused Alpha Large-Cap Fund, Inc. (each, a Fund) is
to oversee the Funds accounting and financial reporting
policies and practices, its internal controls and, as
appropriate, the internal controls of certain service providers,
and to oversee the integrity, quality and objectivity of the
Funds financial statements and the independent audit
thereof; including, but not limited to, oversight of the
qualifications and independence of the Funds independent
registered public accounting firm (the Independent
Auditor).
The Committee will assist the Board in its oversight of the
Funds compliance with legal and regulatory requirements.
The Committee will also report to the Board, if necessary, any
relationships between the Independent Auditor and the Fund, or
any other relationships, which come to the Committees
attention that may adversely affect the independence of the
Independent Auditor. As part of its mission, the Committee shall
be responsible for the preparation of the report of the Audit
Committee as required by the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission (the SEC) to be included in the
Funds proxy statement.
The function of the Committee is to provide oversight; it is the
responsibility of the Fund and the Funds investment
adviser to maintain appropriate systems for accounting and
internal control, and it is the responsibility of the
Funds Independent Auditor to plan and carry out a proper
audit.
The Independent Auditor shall report directly to the Committee.
Committee Membership
The Committee shall be composed of at least three members
appointed by the Board. The Board may replace members of the
Committee for any reason. No member of the Committee shall be an
interested person of the Fund as that term is
defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act
of 1940, as amended (1940 Act). In addition, each
member shall have the additional qualifications indicated below.
The President and Treasurer of the Fund, although not members of
the Committee, will nonetheless be expected to have a
significant role in assisting the Committee to discharge its
responsibilities, including ensuring adequate access to, and
support from, the staff of the Funds investment adviser,
AIG SunAmerica Asset Management Corp.
Qualifications of Committee Members
I. Members of the Committee must be members of
the Board and should be free of any relationships that would
interfere with the exercise of independent judgment.
B-1
II. Each member of the Committee must be
financially literate, or become financially literate within a
reasonable period of time after his or her appointment to the
Committee, as such qualification is interpreted by the
Funds Board in its business judgment. At least one member
of the Committee must have accounting or related financial
management expertise, as the Funds Board interprets such
qualification in its business judgment. Any member identified as
an audit committee financial expert, as defined in
item 3 of
Form N-CSR, may be
deemed to have accounting or related financial management
expertise.
III. In conformance with Section 10A(m)
and Rule 10A-3 of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, unless exempted by an order
of the SEC, each member of the Committee may not, other than in
his or her capacity as a member of the Committee, the Board, or
any other committee of the Board, directly or indirectly, accept
any consulting, advisory, other compensatory fee from the Fund.
Compensatory fees do not include the receipt of fixed amounts of
compensation under a retirement plan (including deferred
compensation) for prior service with a Fund (provided such
compensation is not contingent in any way on continued service).
IV. The Board shall determine annually whether
any member of the Committee is an audit committee
financial expert as defined in item 3 of
Form N-CSR. If the
Fund does not have at least one member of the Committee who is
an audit committee financial expert the Funds
periodic reports on
Form N-CSR shall
disclose the reason for not having such an expert.
Duties and Powers
In accordance with its mission, the Committee shall, to the
extent it deems appropriate, carry out the following functions:
I. To approve prior to appointment the
engagement of auditors to annually audit and provide their
opinion on the Funds financial statements, to recommend to
the independent directors the selection, retention or
termination of the Funds Independent Auditor and, in
connection therewith, to review and evaluate matters potentially
affecting the independence and capabilities of the Independent
Auditor. In evaluating the Independent Auditors
qualifications, performance and independence, the Committee
must, among other things, obtain and review a report by the
Independent Auditor, at least annually, describing the following
items:
|
|
|
|
(1) |
all relationships between the Independent Auditor and the Fund,
as well as the Funds investment adviser or any control
affiliate of the adviser that provides ongoing services to the
Fund; |
|
|
(2) |
any material issues raised by the most recent internal
quality-control review, or peer review, of the audit firm, or by

taken to deal with any such issues; and |

provides ongoing services to the Fund, if the engagement relates
directly to the operations and financial reporting of the
Fund.(5)
The Committee may delegate to one or more of its members
(Delegates) authority to pre-approve permissible
non-audit services to be provided to the Fund. Any pre-approval
determination of a Delegate shall be presented to the full

|
|
(5) |
Pre-approval by the Committee of any permissible non-audit

adviser and control affiliate during the fiscal year in which
the services are provided; (ii) the permissible non-audit
services were not recognized by the Fund at the time of the
engagement to be non-audit services; and (iii) such
