Strategy Narrative [Text Block]	The Portfolio attempts to achieve its investment goal by investing, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets in securities of value companies. For purposes of the Portfolio’s 80% investment policy, a company is considered to be a value company if it: (i) issues securities that are represented in a third-party value-style index; or (ii) is below the relevant equity market median in at least two “value metrics” similar to those commonly used in the marketplace for value classifications, such as earnings growth, price-to-earnings or sales growth, among others.The third-party value-style indices currently used to identify value companies are the Russell 3000® Value Index and the MSCI ACWI IMI Value Index, although the Portfolio may change the referenced indexes without prior notice.The Portfolio invests primarily in equity securities of large-cap companies. The Portfolio utilizes a “focus” strategy, which means the subadviser actively invests in a small number of holdings which constitute some of its favorite stock-picking ideas at any given moment. A focus strategy reflects the belief that, over time, the performance of an investment manager’s “highest confidence” stocks exceeds that of their more diversified portfolios. The Portfolio will generally hold between 30 to 40 securities, although the subadviser may, in its discretion, hold more or fewer securities. The Portfolio invests substantially in securities of U.S. issuers. The Portfolio may invest in additional financial instruments for the purpose of cash management or to hedge a security position. In pursuit of the Portfolio’s investment goal, the portfolio managers use a bottom-up stock selection approach, which means that they concentrate on individual company fundamentals, rather than on a particular industry, although at times factors that make a particular company attractive may also make other companies within the same industry attractive, and the portfolio managers may invest in these issuers as well. Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC (“CMIA”) considers a variety of factors in identifying investment opportunities and constructing the Portfolio’s portfolio which may include, among others, the following: a low price-to-earnings and/or low price-to-book ratio; positive change in senior management; positive corporate restructuring; temporary setback in price due to factors that no longer exist or are ending; a positive shift in the company’s business cycle; and/or a catalyst for increase in the rate of the company’s earnings growth. CMIA generally sells a stock if it believes the stock has become fully valued, its fundamentals have deteriorated, or ongoing evaluation reveals that there are more attractive investment opportunities available. CMIA monitors the Portfolio’s holdings, remaining sensitive to overvaluation and deteriorating fundamentals.
