Fees and Expenses of the Portfolio
This table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, hold, and sell shares of the Portfolio. You may pay other fees, such as brokerage commissions and other fees to financial intermediaries, which are not reflected in the table and example below. The table does not reflect fees or expenses that may be charged in connection with variable annuities and variable life insurance policies issued by the insurance companies which offer the Portfolio as an underlying investment option. If such charges were included, the following fees and expenses would be higher.
Shareholder Fees (fees paid directly from your investment): N/A
Annual Fund Operating Expenses (expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment):
Management Fees
0.50%
Distribution and/or Service (12b-1) Fees
None
Other expenses
0.07%
Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses
0.57%
Example. This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing your variable contract assets 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 and that the Portfolio’s operating expenses remain the same. The costs indicated below do not reflect the additional expenses of variable contracts. These costs would be higher if variable contract charges were added. 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
$58
$183
$318
$714
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 fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Portfolio’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Portfolio’s portfolio turnover rate was 64% of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal Investment Strategies
The Portfolio invests in stocks, bonds and money market instruments. The Adviser adjusts the mix of investments from time to time among the various asset classes (stocks, bonds and money market instruments) to capitalize on perceived variations in return potential of changing market and economic conditions. Under normal circumstances, the Portfolio invests up to 75% of its total assets in equity securities and maintains a minimum of 25% of its total assets in fixed-income securities. Typically, the Portfolio invests up to 5% of its assets in money market instruments. Sometimes the Portfolio may not be invested in all three of the asset classes.
The Portfolio’s principal investment objective is supplemented and limited by the investment objectives, policies and restrictions established for each of the asset classes.
S-1

The equity component of the Portfolio (stock asset class) is actively managed by BlackRock Investment Management, LLC (“BlackRock”) under a sub-advisory agreement with the Adviser. BlackRock began managing the equity component of the Portfolio in February 2019. Within the equity component, BlackRock seeks long-term growth of capital. Current income is a secondary goal for the equity component.
BlackRock seeks to pursue these goals by investing in securities in a disciplined manner, by using proprietary return forecast models that incorporate quantitative analysis. These forecast models are designed to identify aspects of mispricing across stocks that the Portfolio can seek to capture by over- and under-weighting particular equities while seeking to control incremental risk. BlackRock then constructs and rebalances the equity component of the Portfolio by integrating its investment insights with the model-based optimization process. BlackRock has no stated minimum holding period for investments and may buy or sell securities whenever it sees an appropriate opportunity. The equity component may be invested in equity securities, including common stock, or securities or other instruments whose price is linked to the value of common stock. The issuers of the equity securities are primarily U.S. based. BlackRock expects to invest in securities within the market capitalization range of the Russell 1000 Index, but maintains flexibility to invest outside of that range.
Within the fixed-income component of the Portfolio (bond asset class), the Adviser seeks a high level of income. Capital appreciation, consistent with capital preservation, is a secondary goal of the fixed-income component. The Adviser invests in bonds without limitation as to quality, maturity and duration. Within the money market component of the Portfolio (the money market asset class), the Adviser may invest in various money market instruments, including treasury bills, commercial paper, certificates of deposit and short or medium-term notes. The Adviser seeks maximum current income consistent with the preservation of principal and liquidity.
The portfolio managers consider a variety of factors in determining whether to sell a security, including changes in market conditions, changes in prospects for the security, alternative investment possibilities and other factors they believe to be relevant.
Principal Risks
There is no assurance that the Portfolio will meet its investment objective. The value of your investment in the Portfolio and the amount of the return you receive on your investment may fluctuate significantly. You could lose money, or have less return than the market in general, by investing in the Portfolio. Investment in this Portfolio involves all of the risks associated with investing in portfolios concentrating in each of the three asset classes. There is also the risk that at any given time this Portfolio will invest too much or too little in each asset class. On the other hand, since the risk factors affecting each asset class are different, the risks of each asset class often offset one another. As a result, this Portfolio is sometimes less volatile than a portfolio investing only in stocks or bonds. The principal risks of investing in the Portfolio are:
Market Risk — A security’s price may change in response to changes in conditions in securities markets in general. Markets tend to move in cycles with periods of rising prices and periods of falling prices. They can decline for many reasons, including adverse political or economic developments domestically or abroad, tariffs or trade wars, changes in investor psychology, or heavy institutional selling. In the case of debt securities, changes in the overall level of interest rates affect the security’s price. Different types of stocks sometimes shift into and out of favor with investors. For example, at times the market may not favor growth-oriented stocks. Instead, it might favor value stocks or not favor stocks at all. If the Portfolio focuses on a particular investment style, its performance will sometimes be better or worse than the performance of funds focusing on other types of investments. A significant national or international event, natural disaster or widespread health crisis could cause substantial market volatility, exchange trading suspensions and closures, severe market dislocations and liquidity constraints, impact the ability to complete redemptions, and affect the Portfolio’s performance.
Model Risk — The Portfolio seeks to pursue its investment objective by using proprietary models that incorporate quantitative analysis. Investments selected using these models may perform differently than as forecasted due to the factors incorporated into the models and the weighting of each factor, changes from historical trends, and issues in the construction and implementation of the models (including, but not limited to, software issues and other technological issues). There is no guarantee that BlackRock’s use of these models will result in effective investment decisions for the Portfolio.
Interest Rate Risk — Prices of fixed-income securities rise and fall in response to changes in the interest rates paid by similar securities. Generally, when interest rates rise, prices of fixed-income securities fall. However, market factors, such as the demand for particular fixed-income securities, may cause the price of certain fixed-income securities to fall while the prices of other securities rise or remain unchanged. Interest rate changes have a greater effect on the price of fixed-income securities with longer maturities. A wide variety of market factors can affect interest rates. Recent and potential future changes in monetary policy made by central banks and/or their governments are likely to affect the level of interest rates. The Portfolio may be subject to heightened interest rate risk due to certain changes in monetary policy. Rising interest rates may expose fixed-income markets to increased volatility and may reduce the liquidity of certain Portfolio investments. These developments also could cause more fluctuation in the Portfolio’s net asset value or make it more difficult for the Portfolio to accurately value its securities. These developments or others could also cause the Portfolio to face increased shareholder redemptions, which could force the Portfolio to liquidate investments at disadvantageous times or prices, therefore adversely affecting the Portfolio as well as the value of your investment.
S-2

Credit Risk — The Portfolio may lose money if the issuer or guarantor of a fixed income security is unable or unwilling to make scheduled interest or principal payments, which may reduce the Portfolio’s income and market value.
Liquidity Risk — The Portfolio may not be able to sell some or all of its securities at desired prices or may be unable to sell the securities at all, particularly during times of market turmoil. Markets may become illiquid when, for instance, there are few, if any, interested buyers or sellers or when dealers are unwilling or unable to make a market for certain securities. The Portfolio may not be able to sell a restricted or illiquid security at a favorable time or price, thereby decreasing the Portfolio’s overall liquidity. Further, the lack of an established secondary market may make it more difficult to value illiquid securities. If the Portfolio is forced to sell an illiquid security to meet redemption requests or for other cash needs, the Portfolio may be forced to sell at a loss.
Issuer Risk — The value of a security may decline for reasons related to the issuer, such as earnings stability, overall financial soundness, management performance and reduced demand for the issuer’s goods or services.
Asset Allocation Risk — The Portfolio’s ability to achieve its investment goal depends upon the managers’ skill in determining the Portfolio’s asset allocation mix (its allocation among the three asset classes). There is the possibility that the managers’ evaluations and assumptions regarding asset classes will not successfully achieve high long-term total return in view of actual market trends.
Call or Prepayment Risk — During periods of falling interest rates, a bond issuer may “call” or repay its high-yielding bond before the bond’s maturity date. If forced to invest the unanticipated proceeds at lower interest rates, the Portfolio would experience a decline in income. The ability of an issuer of a debt security to repay principal prior to a security’s maturity can cause greater price volatility if interest rates change.
Risk of Investing in the United States — A decrease in imports or exports, changes in trade regulations, inflation and/or an economic recession in the United States may have a material adverse effect on the U.S. economy and the securities listed on U.S. exchanges. Proposed and adopted policy and legislative changes in the United States are changing many aspects of financial, commercial, public health, environmental, and other regulation and may have a significant effect on U.S. markets generally, as well as on the value of certain securities. Governmental agencies project that the United States will continue to maintain elevated public debt levels for the foreseeable future. Although elevated debt levels do not necessarily indicate or cause economic problems, elevated public debt service costs may constrain future economic growth.
The United States has developed increasingly strained relations with a number of foreign countries. If relations with certain countries deteriorate, it could adversely affect U.S. issuers as well as non-U.S. issuers that rely on the United States for trade. Likewise, war, natural disasters, terrorism, internal political discord, public health emergencies such as pandemics and epidemics, trade disputes with key trading partners and associated tariffs, and similar events can result in a wide range of social and economic disruptions and challenge businesses and their revenues across most sectors. These events have also resulted in and may continue to have adverse impacts on the U.S. economy and the issuers in which the Fund invests.
