Dear Shareholder:
Enclosed is a joint proxy statement (the Proxy

the election of Class III Directors of SunAmerica Focused
Alpha Growth Fund, Inc. and SunAmerica Focused Alpha Large-Cap
Fund, Inc. (each, a Fund and together the

meetings are being held on April 25, 2008 (each, an
Annual Meeting) for the shareholders of the Funds to
consider this proposal and to transact any other business that
may properly come before the Annual Meeting.
Shareholders of each Fund are being asked to approve the same

save your Fund money and to promote efficiency, one Proxy
Statement has been prepared for the Funds.
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.
Sincerely,
John T. Genoy
President
SunAmerica Focused Alpha
Growth Fund, Inc.
SunAmerica Focused Alpha
Large-Cap Fund, Inc.
Proxy cards for each Fund are enclosed along with the Proxy

Jersey 07311. AIG SunAmerica was organized as a Delaware

1
VOTING
INFORMATION
Shareholders of record of a respective Fund at the close of
business on March 11, 2008 (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. Each Share shall have one vote.
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 for
which 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.
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,
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.
2
Each Fund will furnish, without charge, a copy of each
Funds annual report for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2007 to a Shareholder upon request. To
request a copy, please write the Fund
c/o AIG
SunAmerica, Harborside Financial Center, 3200 Plaza 5, Jersey
City, New Jersey 07311, or call the Fund at
800-858-8850.
PROPOSAL 1:
ELECTION OF CLASS III 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.
Mr. Samuel M. Eisenstat, Mr. Stephen J. Gutman and
Mr. Peter A. Harbeck were elected by the initial
Shareholder as Directors of each respective Fund.
Mr. Eisenstat, Mr. Gutman and Mr. Harbeck were
elected as Class III Directors for each Fund to serve until
the 2008 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 Mr. Eisenstat, Mr. Gutman and
Mr. Harbeck to serve as Class III Directors for
three-year terms to expire at the annual meeting of Shareholders
to be held in 2011, 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 Mr. Eisenstat, Mr. Gutman and Mr. Harbeck to
serve as Class III 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 III 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 c/o AIG SunAmerica, Harborside
Financial Center, 3200 Plaza 5, Jersey City, New Jersey
07311.

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), independent registered public accounting
firm. In addition, PwC prepares each Funds federal and
state annual income tax returns and provides 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

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, 2006 and December 31, 2007.
PwC has informed each Fund that it has no material direct or
indirect financial interest in the Fund.

and December 31, 2006, there were no fees billed by PwC for
other services provided to any Fund.
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

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 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
|
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.
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.
13
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 C. Neither 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 each of the last two fiscal years, PwC did not provide any
non-audit services to AIG SunAmerica and Adviser Affiliates that
provide services to the Funds.

$2,200 plus expenses for FGF and $1,750 plus expenses for FGI.
SECTION 16(a)
BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the 1934 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 Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the
NYSE. Such persons are required by SEC regulations to furnish
the Fund with copies of all such filings.
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, and
except as provided in the following sentence, the Funds believe
that during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, the
Reporting Persons complied with all applicable filing
requirements. Richard J. Barton (Assistant Secretary) and John
E. Smith, Jr. (Assistant Treasurer) filed a Form 3
Initial Statement of Beneficial Ownership of each Funds
securities subsequent to the
10-day
period specified in the Form.
