Before you invest, you may want to review the Portfolio’s Prospectus, which contains more information about the Portfolio and its

risks. You can find the Portfolio’s Prospectus, reports to shareholders, and other information about the Portfolio (including the

documents listed below) online at www.brighthousefinancial.com/products/fund-resources. You can also get this information at no

Statement of Additional Information, both dated April 29, 2024, as supplemented from time to time, and the Portfolio’s financial

statements for the year ended December 31, 2023, including the notes to the financial statements, the financial highlights and the

report of the Portfolio’s independent registered public accounting firm, all of which are included in the Annual Report of the

Portfolio, dated December 31, 2023, are all incorporated by reference into this Summary Prospectus. This Summary Prospectus is

intended for individuals who have purchased Contracts (as defined below) from insurance companies, including insurance

companies affiliated with Brighthouse Investment Advisers, LLC, and is not intended for use by other investors.

Investment Objective

Long-term capital growth.

Fees and Expenses of the Portfolio

The following table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy and hold shares of the Portfolio. The table and the Example below do not reflect the fees, expenses or withdrawal charges imposed by your variable life insurance policy or variable annuity contract (the “Contract”). If Contract expenses were reflected, the fees and expenses in the table and Example would be higher. See the Contract prospectus for a description of those fees, expenses and charges.

Shareholder Fees

(fees paid directly from your investment)—

None

Annual Portfolio Operating Expenses (expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment)
	Class A	Class B
Management Fee	0.78%	0.78%
Distribution and/or Service (12b-1) Fees	None	0.25%
Other Expenses	0.09%	0.09%
Total Annual Portfolio Operating Expenses	0.87%	1.12%
Fee Waiver1	(0.10% )	(0.10% )
Net Operating Expenses	0.77%	1.02%

Brighthouse Investment Advisers, LLC has contractually agreed, for the period May 1, 2024 through April 30, 2025, to reduce the Management Fee for each class of the Portfolio. This arrangement may be modified or discontinued prior to April 30, 2025, only with the approval of the Board of Trustees of the Portfolio.

Example

The following Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Portfolio with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in

the Portfolio for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year, that the Portfolio’s operating expenses remain the same, and that all fee waivers for the Portfolio will expire after one year. 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
Class A	$79	$268	$472	$1,063
Class B	$104	$346	$607	$1,354

Portfolio Turnover

The Portfolio 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 portfolio operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Portfolio’s performance.
During the most recent fiscal year, the Portfolio’s portfolio turnover rate was 66% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategies

J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (“JPMIM” or “Subadviser”), subadviser to the Portfolio, invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of the Portfolio’s net assets in equity securities of small cap companies. The Portfolio defines small cap companies as companies with market capitalizations equal to those within the universe of the Russell 2000® Value Index stocks at the time of purchase. As of December 31, 2023, the highest capitalization of a company included in the Russell 2000 Value Index was $8.2 billion. In reviewing investment opportunities for the Portfolio, JPMIM uses a value-oriented approach. The Portfolio’s equity investments are primarily common stocks. The Portfolio may also invest in real estate investment trusts.

To the extent the Portfolio uses derivatives, the Portfolio will primarily use futures contracts to more effectively gain targeted equity exposure from its cash positions.

Investment Process

In managing the Portfolio, JPMIM employs a process that ranks stocks based on its proprietary stock ranking system. The rankings are then reviewed and adjusted utilizing fundamental research conducted by the investment team to enhance accuracy and consistency. The adjusted rankings are used to place stocks into the portfolio. In general, stocks are purchased when they are among the top ranked within their sector. Stocks become candidates for sale when their ranking falls, when they appear unattractive or when the company is no longer a small cap company. The Portfolio may continue to hold a security if it believes further substantial growth is possible. Risk factor exposures are managed through portfolio construction. Portfolio constraints control for sector weights, position sizes and/or style characteristics of the Portfolio.

Principal Risks

As with all mutual funds, there is no guarantee that the Portfolio will achieve its investment objective. You could lose money by investing in the Portfolio. An investment in the Portfolio through a Contract is not a deposit or obligation of, or guaranteed by, any bank, and is not federally insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Federal Reserve Board, or any other agency of the U.S. Government.

The value of your investment in the Portfolio may be affected by one or more of the following risks, which are described in more detail in “Principal Risks of Investing in the Portfolio” in the Prospectus. The significance of any specific risk to an investment in the Portfolio will vary over time, depending on the composition of the Portfolio, market conditions, and other factors. You should read all of the risk information presented below carefully, because any one or more of these risks could cause the Portfolio’s return, the price of the Portfolio’s shares or the Portfolio’s yield to fluctuate.

Market Risk. The Portfolio’s share price can fall because of, among other things, a decline in the market as a whole, deterioration in the prospects for a particular industry or company, changes in general economic conditions, such as prevailing interest rates or investor sentiment, or other factors including terrorism, war, natural disasters and the spread of infectious illness including epidemics or pandemics such as the COVID-19 pandemic. Significant disruptions to the financial markets could adversely affect the liquidity and volatility of securities held by the Portfolio.

Market Capitalization Risk. Investing primarily in issuers in one market capitalization category (large, medium or small) carries the risk that due to current market conditions that category will be out of favor with investors. Larger, more established companies may be unable to respond quickly to new competitive challenges or attain the high growth rate of successful smaller companies. Stocks of medium and small capitalization companies may be more volatile than those of larger companies due to, among other things, narrower product

lines, more limited financial resources and fewer experienced managers. In addition, there is typically less publicly available information about small capitalization companies, and their stocks may have a more limited trading market than stocks of larger companies.

Investment Style Risk. Different investment styles such as growth or value tend to shift in and out of favor, depending on market and economic conditions as well as investor sentiment. The Portfolio may outperform or underperform other funds that employ a different investment style.

Real Estate Investment Risk. Investments in real estate investment trusts and other real estate related securities may be adversely impacted by the performance of the real estate market generally or that of a particular sub-sector or geographic region.

Derivatives Risk. The Portfolio may invest in derivatives, including futures contracts, to obtain investment exposure, enhance return or “hedge” or protect its assets from an unfavorable shift in the value or rate of a reference instrument or asset. Derivatives can be highly volatile and can significantly increase the Portfolio’s exposure to market risk, credit and counterparty risk (the risk that a counterparty will default or become less creditworthy) and other risks. Derivatives may be illiquid and difficult to value and can involve risks in addition to, and potentially greater than, the risks of the underlying reference instrument. Because of their complex nature, some derivatives may not perform as intended. As a result, the Portfolio may not realize the anticipated benefits from a derivative it holds or it may realize losses. Certain derivatives have the potential for unlimited loss, regardless of the size of the initial investment. Derivative transactions may create investment leverage, which increases the Portfolio’s volatility and may require the Portfolio to liquidate portfolio securities when it is not advantageous to do so. Government regulation of derivative instruments may limit or prevent the Portfolio from using such instruments as part of its investment strategies, which could adversely affect the Portfolio.

Model and Data Risk. When the quantitative models (“Models”) and information and data (“Data”) used in managing the Portfolio prove to be incorrect or incomplete, any investment decisions made in reliance on the Models and Data may not produce the desired results and the Portfolio may realize losses. Models may cause the Portfolio to underperform other investment strategies and may not perform as intended in volatile markets. In addition, any hedging based on faulty Models and Data may prove to be unsuccessful. Furthermore, the success of Models that are predictive in nature is dependent largely on the accuracy and reliability of the supplied historical data. All Models are susceptible to input errors which may cause the resulting information to be incorrect.

Focused Investment Risk. Substantial investments in a relatively small number of securities or issuers, or a particular market, industry, group of industries, country, region, group of

JPMorgan Small Cap Value Portfolio

countries, asset class or sector make the Portfolio’s performance more susceptible to any single economic, market, political or regulatory occurrence affecting those particular securities or issuers or that particular market, industry, group of industries, country, region, group of countries, asset class or sector than a portfolio that invests more broadly.

Past Performance

The information below provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Portfolio by showing changes in the Portfolio’s performance from year to year and how the Portfolio’s average annual returns over time compare with those of a broad-based securities market index. Note that the results in the bar chart and table do not include the effect of Contract charges. If these Contract charges had been included, performance would have been lower. As with all mutual funds, past returns are not a prediction of future returns.

Payments to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial
Intermediaries

The Portfolio is not sold directly to the general public but instead is offered as an underlying investment option for Contracts issued by insurance companies, including insurance companies that are affiliated with the Portfolio and BIA. The Portfolio and its related companies, including BIA, may make payments to the sponsoring insurance companies (or their affiliates) for distribution and/or other services, and the insurance companies may benefit more from offering the Portfolio as an investment option in the Contracts than offering other portfolios. The benefits to the insurance companies of offering the Portfolio over other portfolios and these payments may be factors that the insurance companies consider in including the Portfolio as an underlying investment option in the Contracts and may create a conflict of interest. The prospectus for your Contract contains additional information about these payments.
