the year ended December 31, 2024, including the notes to the financial statements, the financial highlights and the report of the

Investment Objective

Capital appreciation.

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	Class E
Management Fee	0.66%	0.66%	0.66%
Distribution and/or Service (12b-1) Fees	None	0.25%	0.15%
Other Expenses	0.05%	0.05%	0.05%
Total Annual Portfolio Operating Expenses	0.71%	0.96%	0.86%
Fee Waiver1	(0.13% )	(0.13% )	(0.13% )
Net Operating Expenses	0.58%	0.83%	0.73%

Brighthouse Investment Advisers, LLC has contractually agreed, for the period May 1, 2025 through April 30, 2026, to reduce the Management Fee for each class of the Portfolio. This arrangement may be modified or discontinued prior to April 30, 2026, 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	$59	$214	$382	$870
Class B	$85	$293	$518	$1,166
Class E	$75	$261	$464	$1,049

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 10% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategies

Invesco Advisers, Inc. (“Invesco” or “Subadviser”), subadviser to the Portfolio, invests under normal circumstances at least 80% of the Portfolio’s net assets in equity securities (primarily common stock) of U.S. and foreign-based companies. Equity securities also include preferred stocks. The Portfolio may invest without limit in foreign securities and may invest in any country, including countries with developed or emerging markets. However, the Portfolio generally emphasizes its investments in developed markets such as the United States, Western European countries and Japan. The Portfolio does not limit its investments

to companies in a particular capitalization range, but generally focuses its investments in mid- and large-cap companies.

The Portfolio is not required to allocate its investments in any set percentages in any particular country. The Portfolio normally will invest in at least three countries (one of which may be the United States). Typically, the Portfolio invests in a number of different countries. The Portfolio may purchase American Depositary Shares (ADS) as part of American Depositary Receipt (ADR) issuances, which are negotiable certificates issued by a U.S. bank representing a specified number of shares in a foreign stock traded on a U.S. exchange.

Stock Selection

Invesco primarily looks for quality companies, regardless of domicile, that have sustainable growth. Invesco’s investment approach combines a thematic approach to idea generation with bottom-up, fundamental company analysis. Invesco seeks to identify secular changes in the world and looks for pockets of durable change that it believes will drive global growth for the next decade.

These large scale structural themes are referred to collectively as MANTRA®: Mass Affluence, New Technology, Restructuring, and Aging. Invesco does not target a fixed allocation with regard to any particular theme, and may choose to focus on various sub-themes within each theme. Within each sub-theme, Invesco employs fundamental company analysis to select investments for the Portfolio’s investment portfolio. The economic characteristics Invesco seeks include a combination of high return on invested capital, good cash flow characteristics, high barriers to entry, dominant market share, a strong competitive position, talented management, and balance sheet strength that Invesco believes will enable the company to fund its own growth. These criteria may vary. Invesco also considers how industry dynamics, market trends and general economic conditions may affect a company’s earnings outlook.

Invesco has a long-term investment horizon of typically three to five years. Invesco also has a contrarian buy discipline; it buys high quality companies that fit its investment criteria when their valuations underestimate their long-term earnings potential. For example, a company’s stock price may dislocate from its fundamental outlook due to a short-term earnings glitch or negative, short-term market sentiment, which can give rise to an investment opportunity. Invesco monitors individual issuers for changes in earnings potential or other effects of changing market conditions that may trigger a decision to sell a security, but do not require a decision to do so.

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. In addition, unexpected political, regulatory, trade and diplomatic events within the United States and abroad may affect investor and consumer confidence and may adversely impact financial markets and the broader economy, perhaps suddenly and to a significant degree. Significant disruptions to the financial markets could adversely affect the liquidity and volatility of securities held by the Portfolio.

Foreign Investment Risk. Investments in foreign securities, whether direct or indirect, tend to be more volatile and less liquid than investments in U.S. securities because, among other things, they involve risks relating to political, social, economic and other developments abroad, as well as risks resulting from differences between the regulations and reporting standards and practices to which U.S. and foreign issuers are subject. To the extent foreign securities are denominated in foreign currencies, their values may be adversely affected by changes in currency exchange rates.

Emerging Markets Risk. In addition to all of the risks of investing in foreign developed markets, emerging market securities involve risks attendant to less mature and stable governments and economies, lower trading volume, trading suspension, security price volatility, proceeds repatriation restrictions, withholding and other taxes, some of which may be confiscatory, inflation, deflation, currency devaluation and adverse government regulations of industries or markets. As a result of these risks, the prices of emerging market securities tend to be more volatile than the securities of issuers located in developed markets.

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

Invesco Global Equity Portfolio

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.

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 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 broad-based securities market indexes. 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. Effective May 24, 2019, Invesco Ltd. acquired OppenheimerFunds, Inc., the former subadviser to the Portfolio (the “Acquisition”). In connection with the Acquisition, Invesco became the subadviser to the Portfolio. There were no changes to the Portfolio’s portfolio managers, investment objective or principal investment strategies and risks in connection with the Acquisition.

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.
