 **AZL**<sup>®</sup> **DFA International Core Equity Fund**

**Before you invest, you may want to review the Fund's Prospectus, which contains more information about the Fund and its risks. You can find the Fund's Prospectus, Statement of Additional Information ("SAI") and other information about the Fund online at www.allianzlife.com/azlfunds. You can also get this information at no cost by calling 1-800-624-0197 or by sending an email request to contact.us@allianzlife.com. The Fund's Prospectus and SAI, both dated May 1, 2026, as supplemented, are incorporated by reference into this Summary Prospectus.**

**Investment Objective**

The Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation.

**Fees and Expenses**

**Fees and Expenses of the Fund**

The following table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy and hold shares of the Fund. The Fund is offered exclusively as an investment option for certain Contracts. The table below reflects only Fund expenses and does not reflect Contract fees and expenses. If Contract fees and expenses were included, the fees and expenses in the following table would be higher. Please refer to the Contract prospectus for a description of those fees and expenses.

**Annual Fund Operating Expenses (expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment)** 

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| Management Fee | 0.95% |
| Distribution (12b-1) Fees | 0.25% |
| Other Expenses | 0.11% |
| Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses | 1.31% |
| Fee Waiver<sup>(1)</sup> <br>| -0.30% |
| Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver<sup>(1)</sup> <br>| 1.01% |

---

<sup>(1)</sup>

The Manager and the Fund have entered into a written agreement reducing the management fee to 0.65% through at least April 30, 2027, after which the fee waiver may be terminated by the Manager or the Fund at any time and for any reason.

**Example**

This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year, that the Fund's operating expenses remain the same, and that you reinvest all dividends and distributions. It does not reflect any Contract fees. It reflects the management fee waiver agreement for the first year. If Contract fees were included, the costs shown would be higher. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **1 Year** | **3 Years** | **5 Years** | **10 Years** |
| $103 | $386 | $689 | $1553 |

---

**Portfolio Turnover**

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 5% of the average value of its portfolio.

**Investments, Risks, and Performance**

**Principal Investment Strategies of the Fund**

To achieve the Fund's investment objective, the Subadviser (as defined below) implements an integrated investment approach that combines research, portfolio design, portfolio management, and trading functions. As further described below, the Fund's design emphasizes long-term drivers of expected returns identified by the Subadviser's research, while balancing risk through broad diversification across companies, sectors, and countries. The Subadviser's portfolio management and trading processes further balance those long-term drivers of expected returns with shorter-term drivers of expected returns and trading costs.

The Fund is designed to purchase a broad and diverse group of equity securities within a market capitalization weighted universe (e.g., the larger the company, the greater the proportion of the universe it represents) of non-U.S. companies associated with developed markets that have been authorized for investment by the Subadviser's Investment Committee (the "International Universe"). The Fund invests in companies of all sizes, with meaningfully increased exposure to smaller capitalization, lower relative price and higher profitability companies as compared to their representation in the International Universe. The Fund's meaningfully increased exposure to smaller capitalization, lower relative price and higher profitability companies may be achieved by decreasing the allocation of the Fund's assets to larger capitalization, higher relative price or lower profitability companies relative to their weight in the International Universe. An equity issuer is considered to have a high relative price (i.e., a growth stock) primarily because it has a high price in relation to its book value. An equity issuer is considered to have a low relative price (i.e., a value stock) primarily because it has a low price in relation to its book value. In assessing relative price, the Subadviser may consider additional factors such as price to cash flow or price to earnings ratios. An equity issuer is considered to have high profitability because it has high earnings or profits from operations in relation to its book value or assets. The criteria the Subadviser uses for assessing relative price and profitability are subject to change from time to time.

The Fund intends to purchase securities of companies associated with developed market countries that the Subadviser has designated as approved markets. As a non-fundamental policy, under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets in equity securities. The Subadviser determines company size on a country or region specific basis and based primarily on market capitalization.

The Subadviser may also increase or reduce the Fund's exposure to an eligible company, or exclude a company, based on shorter-term considerations, such as a company's price momentum, short-run reversals and investment characteristics. In assessing a company's investment characteristics, the Subadviser considers ratios such as recent changes in assets divided by total assets. The criteria the Subadviser uses for assessing a company's investment characteristics are subject to change from time to time. In addition, the Subadviser seeks to reduce trading costs using a flexible trading approach that looks for opportunities to participate in the available market liquidity, while managing turnover and explicit transaction costs.

The Fund may gain exposure to companies associated with approved markets by purchasing equity securities in the form of depositary receipts, which may be listed or traded outside the issuer's domicile country. The Fund also may purchase or sell futures contracts and options on futures contracts for foreign or U.S. equity securities and indices, to increase or decrease equity market exposure based on actual or expected cash inflows to or outflows from the Fund.

**Principal Risks of Investing in the Fund**

The price per share of the Fund will fluctuate with changes in the value of the investments held by the Fund. You may lose money by investing in the Fund. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit in a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. There is no guarantee that the Fund will achieve its objective.

The following is a summary of the principal risks to which the Fund's portfolio as a whole is subject, any of which may adversely affect the Fund's net asset value (NAV), yield, total return and ability to achieve its investment objective. As changes occur in a Fund's portfolio holdings, the extent to which the portfolio is subject to each of these risks may also change.

**Market Risk** – The market value of portfolio securities may go up or down, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably. The value of a security or other asset may fluctuate significantly due to factors such as changes in general market conditions, including economic, political, and financial conditions, widespread disease or other public health issues, war, military conflict, acts of terrorism, adverse investor sentiment, or instability or other disruptive events in the local, regional or global

markets. Certain changes in the U.S. economy, such as a decrease in imports or exports, changes in trade regulations, inflation and/or economic recession, may have an adverse effect on the value of the Fund's securities.

**Issuer Risk** – The value of a security may decline for a number of reasons directly related to the issuer of the security. Further, the value of an individual security or particular type of security can be more volatile than, and can perform differently from, the market as a whole.

**Selection Risk** – Because this Fund is actively managed, there can be no guarantee that investment decisions made for the Fund will produce the desired results.

**Profitability Investment Risk** – High relative profitability stocks may perform differently from the market as a whole and following a profitability-oriented strategy may cause a Fund to, at times, underperform equity funds that use other investment strategies.

**Value Stocks Risk** – Value stocks may perform differently from the market as a whole and following a value-oriented investment strategy may cause the Fund to at times underperform equity funds that use other investment strategies. Value stocks can react differently to political, economic, and industry developments than the market as a whole and other types of stocks. If the market does not recognize that a selected security is undervalued, the prices of that security might not appreciate as anticipated. Value stocks also may underperform the market for long periods of time.

**Capitalization Risk** – Investing in small- to mid-sized companies creates risk because smaller companies may have unpredictable or limited earnings, and their securities may be less liquid or experience more volatile prices than those of large companies.

**Foreign Securities Risk** – Investing in the securities of non-U.S. issuers involves a number of risks, such as fluctuations in currency values, adverse political, social or economic developments, and differences in social and economic developments or policies.

**European Investment Risk** – Investments in certain countries in the European Union (the "EU") are susceptible to high political, social, or economic risks due to restrictions on inflation rates, rising debt levels and fiscal and monetary controls. Efforts of the member countries to further unify their economic and monetary policies may increase the potential for the downward movement of one member country's market to cause a similar effect on other member countries' markets. Separately, the EU faces issues involving its membership, structure, procedures and policies. The exit of one or more member countries from the EU, such as the exit of the United Kingdom (known as "Brexit"), could place its currency and banking system in jeopardy. An exit by other member countries could likely result in increased volatility, illiquidity and potentially lower economic growth in the affected markets, which may adversely affect a fund's investments.

**Depositary Receipt Risk** – Depositary receipts involve many of the same risks as those associated with direct investment in foreign securities. Investing in these instruments may expose a fund to credit risk with respect to the issuer of the depositary receipt, in addition to the risks of the underlying investment.

**Currency Risk** – Investing in securities that trade in and receive revenues in foreign currencies creates risk because foreign currencies may decline relative to the U.S. dollar, resulting in a potential loss to a fund. In the case of hedging positions, the U.S. dollar may decline in value relative to the currency that has been hedged.

**Derivatives Risk** – Investing in derivative instruments involves risks that may be different from or greater than the risks associated with investing directly in securities or other traditional investments. Derivatives are subject to a number of other risks, such as liquidity risk, interest rate risk, market risk, credit risk, counterparty risk, and selection risk. Derivatives also involve the risk of mispricing or improper valuation and the risk that changes in the value may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate, or index. Using derivatives may result in losses, possibly in excess of the principal amount invested.

**Futures Risk** – The value of futures contracts depend primarily upon the price of the securities, indexes, commodities, currencies or other instruments underlying them. Price movements are also influenced by, among other things, interest rates, changing supply and demand relationships, trade, fiscal, monetary, and exchange control programs and policies of governments, and national and international political and economic events and policies. The cost of futures may also be related, in part, to the degree of volatility of the underlying indices, securities, currencies, or other assets. Accordingly, futures on highly volatile indices, securities, currency, or other assets may be more expensive than futures on other investments. Changes in the value of the derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate or index, and a fund could lose more than the principal amount invested.

**Performance Information**

The following bar chart and table provide an indication of the risks of an investment in the Fund by showing changes in its performance from year to year and by showing how the Fund's average annual returns for one year, five years, and ten years compare with those of a broad-based measure of market performance, the MSCI EAFE Index (gross div). The Fund's performance also is compared to the returns of the MSCI World ex-USA Index (gross div), which is relevant to the Fund because it has characteristics similar to the Fund's investment strategies.

Both the bar chart and the table assume reinvestment of dividends and distributions.

The performance of the Fund will vary from year to year. The Fund's performance does not reflect the cost of insurance and separate account charges which are imposed under your Contract. If they were included, performance would be reduced. Past performance does not indicate how the Fund will perform in the future.

**Tax Information**

Shares of the Funds are sold exclusively to the separate accounts of certain insurance companies in connection with particular variable annuity and variable life insurance contracts (each, a "Contract" and collectively, the "Contracts"). Provided that a Fund and a separate account investing in the Fund satisfy applicable tax requirements, any distributions from the Fund to the separate account will be exempt from current federal income taxation to the extent that such distributions accumulate in the Contract. You should refer to your Contract prospectus for further information regarding the tax treatment of the Contract and the separate accounts in which the Contract is invested.

**Financial Intermediary Compensation**

Shares of the Funds are sold exclusively to certain insurance companies in connection with particular Contracts. The Trust and its related companies may pay such insurance companies (or their related companies) for the sale of shares of the Funds and related services. Such insurance companies (or their related companies) may pay broker-dealers or other financial intermediaries (such as banks) that sell the Contracts for the sale of shares of the Funds and related services. When received by an insurance company, such payments may be a factor that the insurance companies consider in including a Fund as an investment option in the Contracts. The prospectus or other disclosures relating to a Contract may contain additional information about these payments. When received by a broker-dealer or other intermediary, such payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other intermediary and salespersons to recommend the Fund over other mutual funds available as investment options in the Contracts. Ask the salesperson or visit the financial intermediary's website for more information.
