Investment Objective

The Fund seeks a high level of current income.

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)

	Class 1	Class 2
Management Fee	0.50%	0.50%
Distribution (12b-1) Fees	0.00%	0.25%
Other Expenses	0.11%	0.10%
Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses	0.61%	0.85%
Fee Waiver(1)	-0.01%	-0.01%
Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver	0.60%	0.84%

(1)

The Manager and the Fund have entered into a written agreement reducing the management fee to 0.49% through at least April 30, 2025, 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
Class 1	$61	$194	$339	$761
Class 2	$86	$270	$470	$1,048

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 83% of the average value of its portfolio.

Investments, Risks, and Performance

Principal Investment Strategies of the Fund

Under normal market conditions, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its assets in debt securities of all types and repurchase agreements for those securities. Such investments include corporate bonds, U.S. Treasury obligations, U.S. government agency mortgage securities and real estate investment trusts. A portion of the investments may not be publicly traded. The Subadviser uses the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index as a guide in structuring the Fund and selecting its investments and manages the Fund to have similar overall interest rate risk to the index. The Bloomberg US Aggregate Bond Index is a broad-based benchmark that measures the investment grade, US dollar-denominated, fixed-rate taxable bond market. The index includes U.S. Treasury obligations, government-related and corporate securities, mortgage-backed securities (agency fixed-rate and hybrid ARM pass-throughs), asset-backed securities and commercial mortgage-backed securities (agency and nonagency).

The Subadviser considers other factors when selecting Fund investments, including the credit quality of the issuer, security-specific features and the Subadviser’s assessment of whether the investment is undervalued. In managing the Fund's exposure to various risks, including interest rate risk, the Subadviser considers, among other things, the market's overall risk characteristics, the market's current pricing of those risks, and internal views of potential future market conditions.

The Fund's assets may be allocated among different market sectors (for example, corporate, asset-backed, or government securities) and different maturities based on the Subadviser’s view of the relative value of each sector or maturity.

The Fund's assets may be invested in securities of foreign issuers, including those located in emerging markets, denominated in US dollars or in local currency, in addition to securities of domestic issuers.

The Fund may invest significantly in derivatives instruments, such as interest rate swaps, total return swaps, credit default swaps, and futures contracts (both long and short positions) on securities and indexes, and in forward-settling securities. Such investments may give rise to a form of leverage, particularly when the Fund does not own the assets, instrument or components underlying the derivative instruments. Depending on the Subadviser’s outlook and market conditions, the Fund may invest in derivatives instruments in order to gain exposure to assets, instruments, or indexes, interest rates, or credit qualities.

The Fund also may invest up to 20% of its assets in lower-quality debt securities, sometimes called “junk bonds.”

To earn additional income for the Fund, the Subadviser may use a trading strategy that involves selling (or buying) mortgage securities and simultaneously agreeing to purchase (or sell) mortgage securities on a later date at a set price. This trading strategy may increase interest rate exposure and result in an increased portfolio turnover rate, which increases transaction costs.

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.

Issuer Risk – The value of a security may decline for a number of reasons directly related to the issuer of the security.

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.

Treasury Obligations Risk – Direct obligations of the U.S. Treasury have historically involved little risk of loss of principal if held to maturity. However, due to fluctuations in interest rates, the market value of such securities may vary during the period shareholders own shares of a fund. Because U.S. Treasury obligations trade actively outside the

United States, their prices may rise and fall as changes in global economic conditions affect the demand for these securities. In addition, changes in the credit rating or financial condition of the U.S. government may cause the value of U.S. Treasury Obligations to decline.

U.S. Government Obligations Risk – Certain securities in which a fund may invest, including securities issued by certain government agencies and government sponsored enterprises, are not guaranteed by the U.S. Government or supported by the full faith and credit of the United States. It is possible that issuers of U.S. government securities will not have the funds to meet their payment obligations in the future. No assurance can be given that the U.S. government will provide financial support to its agencies and authorities if it is not obligated by law to do so.

Sovereign Debt Risk – Sovereign debt instruments are subject to the risk that a governmental entity may delay or refuse to pay interest or repay principal on its sovereign debt, due, for example, to cash flow problems, insufficient foreign currency reserves, political considerations, the relative size of the governmental entity’s debt position in relation to the economy or the failure to put in place economic reforms required by the International Monetary Fund or other multilateral agencies.

Real Estate Investments Risk – The performance of investments in real estate depends on the overall strength of the real estate market, the management of real estate investments trusts (REITs), and property management, all of which can be affected by a variety of factors, including national and regional economic conditions.

Interest Rate Risk – Debt securities held by a fund may decline in value due to rising interest rates. Macroeconomic factors, such as inflationary trends, can heighten interest rate risk.

Credit Risk – The failure of the issuer of a debt security to pay interest or repay principal in a timely manner may have an adverse impact on a fund’s earnings.

Income Risk – Falling interest rates may cause a fund’s income to decline.

Liquidity Risk – An investment that is difficult to purchase or sell may have an adverse effect on the fund’s returns.

Call Risk – If interest rates fall, issuers of callable debt securities are more likely to prepay prior to the maturity date. The fund may not be able to reinvest the proceeds from the prepayment in investments that will generate the same level of income.

Extension Risk – If interest rates rise, debt securities may be paid in full more slowly than anticipated. Periods of low relative interest rates or inflationary trends may increase the risks associated with rising interest rates.

Repurchase Agreements and Purchase and Sale Contracts Risk – If the other party to a repurchase agreement or purchase and sale contract defaults on its obligation under the agreement, a fund may suffer delays and incur costs or lose money in exercising its rights under the agreement. If the seller fails to repurchase the security in either situation and the market value of the security declines, the fund may lose money.

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.

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.

Emerging Markets Risk – Emerging markets may have less developed or more volatile trading markets and greater likelihood of government restrictions, nationalization, or confiscation than developed countries. Companies in emerging market countries may have less developed legal and accounting systems and generally may be subject to less stringent regulatory, disclosure, financial reporting, accounting, auditing and recordkeeping standards than companies in more developed countries. As a result, information, including financial information, about such companies may be less available and reliable which can impede a fund’s ability to evaluate such companies. Securities law and the enforcement of systems of taxation in many emerging market countries may change quickly and unpredictably, and the ability to bring and enforce actions, or to obtain information needed to pursue or enforce such actions, may be limited. In addition, investments in emerging markets securities may be subject to additional transaction costs, delays in settlement procedures, unexpected market closures, and lack of timely information. Frontier market countries generally have smaller economies or less developed capital markets and, as a result, the risks of investing in emerging market countries are magnified in frontier market countries.

Summary Prospectus

AZL® Fidelity Institutional Asset Management® Total Bond Fund, Class 1 and Class 2

Privately Placed, Rule 144A and Other Exempt Securities Risk – The Fund may invest in privately placed securities, which are subject to resale restrictions. The market for Rule 144A and other securities exempt from certain registration requirements may be less active than the market for publicly-traded securities. Rule 144A and other exempt securities carry the risk that their liquidity may become impaired and a fund may be unable to dispose of the securities at a desirable time or price.

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.

Leveraging Risk – The Fund may engage in certain kinds of transactions, including the use of derivatives, that may give rise to a form of leverage. The use of leverage may require a fund to liquidate a portfolio position at a disadvantageous time or may exaggerate the effect of any increase or decrease in the value of a fund’s portfolio securities.

Security Quality Risk (also known as “High Yield Risk” or “Junk Bond Risk”) The Fund may invest in high yield, high risk debt securities, which may be subject to higher levels of credit and liquidity risk than higher quality debt securities.

Mortgage-Related and Other Asset-Backed Securities Risk – Investing in mortgage-related or other asset-backed securities involves a variety of risks associated with the credit markets, such as rising or falling interest rates, increases in the rate of defaults or prepayments, and the quality of the pool of mortgages (subprime risk) or other assets that backs the security.

Portfolio Turnover Risk– The Fund may trade portfolio securities frequently, which could result in higher transaction costs and could adversely affect the fund’s performance.

Financial Markets Regulatory Risk - Policy changes by the U.S. government or its regulatory agencies and other governmental actions and political events within the U.S. and abroad may, among other things, affect investor and consumer confidence and increase volatility in the financial markets, perhaps suddenly and to a significant degree, which may adversely impact a fund, including by adversely impacting the fund's operations, universe of potential investment options, and return potential.

Performance Information

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.

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.
