Dear Shareholders/Contract Owners:

After raising interest rates on seven occasions in 2022 by a total of 425 basis points, the U.S. Federal Reserve (the "Fed") implemented just three increases totaling 75 bps in the first half of 2023, as economic data generally softened. That said, employment remains strong and inflation, while cooling somewhat of late as a result of the aggressive tightening from global central banks, was stubbornly high early in the period. In March, the surprise failures of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank, and the acquisition of troubled Credit Suisse Group AG by UBS, followed in May by the failure of First Republic Bank, generated concerns of another global financial crisis. This was largely averted due to the rapid response from regulators and the banking industry, so much so that central banks continued to raise interest rates during this time. More recently, the Fed paused from raising interest rates in June, but it is expected that additional hikes will be needed this year.

Despite periods of heightened volatility driven by uncertainty surrounding global growth and the path of interest rate hikes, equity and fixed income indices generally posted positive returns during the first half of 2023. This strong performance stands in stark contrast to the same period a year ago (see chart) when several indices were in bear market territory, a period when global central banks began to aggressively tighten monetary policy. The speed and severity with which interest rates have increased over the past year suggests that it's likely we are closer to the end of the rate hiking cycle rather than the beginning. Against this backdrop of relatively greater clarity on the path forward, equity indices, particularly the U.S. technology-focused Nasdaq and the S&P 500, were very strong during the 6 months ending June 30, 2023 (the "Period"). Although the U.S. small and midcap-oriented Russell 2000 and S&P MidCap 400 lagged, both indices posted strong returns during the Period, as did international large cap equities, represented by the MSCI EAFE.

While the pace and severity of the Fed's increases declined, interest rate volatility remained high during the Period, as market expectations regarding future increases changed frequently. This was exacerbated by the aforementioned bank failures, which caused historic swings in yields, particularly shorter-term yields. Medium to longer terms yields, while also somewhat volatile, were roughly flat at June 30, 2023 compared to year end 2022. At the same time, the relatively greater economic clarity resulted in general spread tightening, meaning many fixed income indices posted positive returns for the 6-month period.

In our view, the key question yet to be answered and the primary source of market volatility is whether or not the fight to lower inflation will lead to an economic recession. Monetary policy typically takes several months or quarters to affect the economy, and while economic data is softening in places, it remains strong in others, particularly employment and inflation. Not to be forgotten, the Ukraine/Russia conflict has entered its second year, with seemingly no sign of resolution on the horizon. Consequently, a meaningful degree of uncertainty remains.

Thank you for investing in the Global Atlantic Portfolios.

Sincerely,

(a)  Net investment income has been calculated using the average shares method, which more appropriately presents the per share data for the period.

(b)  Recognition of net investment income by the Portfolio is affected by the timing of the declaration of dividends by the underlying investment companies in which the Portfolio invests.

(c)  Realized and unrealized gain (loss) per share are balancing amounts necessary to reconcile the change in net asset value per share for the period, and may not reconcile with aggregate gains and losses in the statement of operations due to timing of share transactions.

(d)  Total returns are historical and assume changes in share price and reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions. Total return does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder may pay on Portfolio distributions or on the redemption of Portfolio shares, as well as other charges and expenses of the insurance contract or separate account. Total returns for periods less than one year are not annualized. Total returns would have been lower absent fee waivers by the Adviser.

1.  ORGANIZATION

As of June 30, 2023, the Global Atlantic Portfolios were comprised of sixteen different actively managed portfolios, eight of which are discussed in this report (each, a "Portfolio" and collectively, the "Portfolios"). Each Portfolio is a series of shares of beneficial interest of Forethought Variable Insurance Trust (the "Trust"), a statutory trust organized under the laws of the State of Delaware, and registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as an open-end management investment company.

Each Portfolio is diversified. Certain of the Portfolios operate as "fund of funds." A "fund of funds" typically invests in multiple underlying funds and the level of its interest in any particular underlying fund may fluctuate. The Portfolios are intended to be funding vehicles for variable annuity contracts offered by the separate accounts of Forethought Life Insurance Company. The assets of each Portfolio are segregated and a shareholder's interest is limited to the Portfolio in which shares are held. Each Portfolio pays its own expenses.

As of June 30, 2023, the Portfolios offered Class II shares at net asset value.

References herein to a Portfolio's investment in a particular instrument include direct investments and indirect investments through investment companies such as open-end funds (mutual funds), exchange-traded funds and closed-end funds, as applicable.

2.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Portfolios in preparation of their financial statements. The policies are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("US GAAP"). The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Each Portfolio is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standard Codification Topic 946 "Financial Services – Investment Companies".

Securities Valuation – Securities listed on an exchange are valued at the last reported sale price at the close of the regular trading session of the primary exchange on the business day the value is being determined, or in the case of securities listed on NASDAQ at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. In the absence of a sale such securities shall be valued at the mean between the current bid and ask prices on the day of valuation. Futures and future options are valued at the final settle price or, in the absence of a settle price, at the last sale price on the day of valuation. Debt securities are valued on the basis of


47


Global Atlantic Portfolios

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)

June 30, 2023

valuations provided by dealers or by an independent pricing service which take into account appropriate factors such as trading activity, readily available market quotations (including broker quotes), yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristic, call features, credit ratings and other data. Short-term debt obligations having 60 days or less remaining until maturity, at time of purchase, may be valued at amortized cost to the extent it is determined that amortized cost approximates fair value.

Valuation of Investment Companies – The Portfolios may invest in one or more portfolios of open-end investment companies (the "Underlying Fund" or "Underlying Funds"). Each Underlying Fund is valued at its respective net asset value as reported by such investment company (except exchange-traded funds ("ETFs")). ETFs are valued daily at the last sale price or official closing price on the principal exchange or system on which the investment is traded. Each Underlying Fund values securities in its portfolio for which market quotations are readily available at their market values (generally the last reported sale price) and all other securities and assets at their fair value based on the methods approved by each Underlying Fund's board(s) of trustees.

Illiquid Investments – Pursuant to Rule 22e-4 under the 1940 Act, a Portfolio may not acquire any "illiquid investment" if, immediately after the acquisition, the Portfolio would have invested more than 15% of its net assets in illiquid investments that are assets. An "illiquid investment" is any investment that a Portfolio reasonably expects cannot be sold or disposed of in current market conditions in seven calendar days or less without the sale or disposition significantly changing the market value of the investment. The Trust has implemented a liquidity risk management program and related procedures to identify illiquid investments pursuant to Rule 22e-4, and the Board of Trustees ("Board") has approved the designation of the Adviser to administer the Trust's liquidity risk management program and related procedures. Illiquid investments include securities subject to contractual or legal restrictions on resale (e.g., because they have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933) and securities that are otherwise not readily marketable (e.g., because trading in the security is suspended or because market makers do not exist or will not entertain bids or offers). These investments will be valued at their fair value, as outlined below.

Valuation Designee and Valuation Process – Pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, the Board has designated Global Atlantic Investment Advisors, LLC (the "Adviser"), investment adviser to the Portfolios, as the Portfolios' Valuation Designee (the "Designee") with responsibility for establishing fair value when the price of a security is not readily available or deemed unreliable. Such investments will be valued at their fair market value as determined using the valuation procedures established by the Designee and approved by the Board. The Adviser carries out its designated activities through the Adviser's Fair Value Committee.

In accordance with the valuation procedures, fair value determinations are required for, among others, the following securities: (i) securities for which market quotations are not readily available on a particular business day (including without limitation securities for which there is a short and temporary lapse in the provision of a price by the regular pricing source); (ii) securities for which, in the opinion of the Adviser or relevant Sub-Adviser, the prices or values available do not represent the fair value of the instrument (factors which may cause the Adviser or Sub-Adviser to make such a judgment include, but are not limited to, the following: the availability of only a bid price or an ask price; the spread between bid and ask prices; the frequency of sales; the thinness of the market; the size of reported trades; and actions of the securities markets or regulators, such as the suspension or limitation of trading); (iii) securities determined to be illiquid; (iv) securities with respect to which an event that will affect the value thereof has occurred (a "significant event") subsequent to the determination of the closing price reported on the principal exchange on which the securities are traded, but prior to the relevant Portfolio's calculation of its net asset value ("NAV"); and (v) mutual funds that do not provide timely NAV information. Restricted or illiquid securities, such as private placements or non-traded securities are valued via inputs from the Adviser or Sub-Adviser valuation based upon the current bid for the security from two or more independent dealers or other parties reasonably familiar with the facts and circumstances of the security (who should take into consideration all relevant factors as may be appropriate under the circumstances). If the Adviser or Sub-Adviser is unable to obtain a current bid from such independent dealers or other independent parties, the Designee shall determine the fair value of restricted or illiquid securities using certain factors, such as, but not limited to: (i) the type of security; (ii) the cost at date of purchase; (iii) the size and nature of the Portfolio's holdings; (iv) the discount from market value of unrestricted securities of the same class at the time of purchase and subsequent thereto; (v) information as to any transactions or offers with respect to the security; (vi) the nature and duration of restrictions on disposition of the security and the existence of any registration rights, as well as any estimation of the cost

of registration or otherwise qualifying the security for public sale, including commissions; (vii) how the yield of the security compares to similar securities of companies of similar or equal creditworthiness; (viii) the level of recent trades of similar or comparable securities; (ix) the liquidity characteristics of the security; (x) current market conditions; (xi) the market value of any securities into which the security is convertible or exchangeable; (xii) the security's embedded option values; and (xiii) information about the financial condition of the issuer and its prospects.

Each Portfolio utilizes various methods to measure the fair value of all of its investments on a recurring basis. US GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods. The three levels of input are:

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that the Portfolio has the ability to access.

Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument in an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates and similar data.

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available, representing the Portfolio's own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and would be based on the best information available.

The availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to the security. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3.

The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The following tables summarize the inputs used as of June 30, 2023 for each Portfolio's investments measured at fair value:

The Portfolios did not hold any Level 3 securities during the six-month period ended June 30, 2023.

Security Transactions and Related Income – Security transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Discounts are accreted and premiums are amortized on securities purchased over the lives of the respective securities. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Realized gains or losses from sales of securities are determined by comparing the identified cost of the security lot sold with the net sales proceeds.

Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders – Dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and paid annually. Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on ex-date and are determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from US GAAP. These "book/tax" differences are considered either temporary (e.g., deferred losses, capital loss carryforwards) or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the composition of net assets based on their Federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets, results from operations or net asset values per share of the Portfolios.

Cash and Cash Equivalents – Cash and cash equivalents include cash and overnight investments in interest-bearing demand deposits with a financial institution with original maturities of three months or less. The Portfolios may maintain deposits with a financial institution which could be an amount that is in excess of federally insured limits. The Portfolios have not experienced any losses on their accounts.

Federal Income Tax – It is each Portfolio's policy to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code that are applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of their taxable income and net realized gains to shareholders. Therefore, no Federal income tax provision is required.

Each Portfolio will recognize the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only where the position is "more likely than not" to be sustained assuming examination by tax authorities. Management has analyzed each Portfolio's tax positions, and has concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions taken in each Portfolio's 2020 and 2021 tax returns, or is expected to be taken in each Portfolio's 2022 tax return. Each Portfolio identified its major tax jurisdictions as U.S. Federal and foreign jurisdictions where the Portfolios make significant investments; however, the Portfolios are not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next twelve months.

Foreign Currency Translation – The accounting records of the Portfolios are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currencies, as well as investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, are translated into U.S. dollars using exchange rates deemed appropriate by the investment adviser. Purchases and sales of securities, income receipts and expense payments are translated into U.S. dollars on the respective dates of such transactions.

Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions represent net gains and losses from currency realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions and the difference between income accrued versus income received. The effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in securities are included with the net realized and change in unrealized gain or loss on foreign currency translations.

Forward Foreign Currency Contracts – As foreign securities are purchased, a Portfolio may enter into forward currency contracts in order to hedge against foreign currency exchange rate risks. A forward involves an obligation to purchase or sell a specific currency at a future date, which may be any fixed number of days from the date of the contract agreed upon by the parties, at a price set at the time of the contract. The market value of the contract fluctuates with changes in currency exchange rates. The contract is marked-to-market daily and the change in market value is recorded by a Portfolio as an unrealized gain or loss. As foreign securities are sold, a portion of the contract is generally closed and a Portfolio records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Realized gains and losses from contract transactions are included as a component of net realized gains/(losses) from forward foreign currency contracts in the Statements of Operations.

For the six-months ended June 30, 2023, realized gains/(losses) and the change in unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) on forward foreign currency contracts subject to currency risk, as disclosed in the Statements of Operations, is as follows:

Options Transactions – Certain Portfolios are subject to equity price risk, interest rate risk and foreign currency risk in the normal course of pursuing their investment objectives and may purchase or sell options to help hedge against this risk.

A Portfolio may purchase and write (i.e., sell) put and call options. Such options may relate to particular securities or securities indices, including ETFs, and may or may not be listed on a domestic or foreign securities exchange and may or may not be issued by the Options Clearing Corporation. Options trading is a highly specialized activity that entails greater than ordinary investment risk. Options may be more volatile than the underlying instruments, and therefore, on a percentage basis, an investment in options may be subject to greater fluctuation than an investment in the underlying instruments themselves. A call option for a particular security gives the purchaser of the option, in return for a premium, the right, but not the obligation, to buy, and the writer (seller) the obligation to sell, the underlying security at the stated exercise price at any time prior to the expiration of the option for American options or only at expiration for European options, regardless of the market price of the security. The premium paid to the writer is in consideration for undertaking the obligation under the option contract. A put option for a particular security gives the purchaser the right, but not the obligation, to sell the security at the stated exercise price at any time prior to the expiration date of the option for American options or only at expiration for European options, regardless of the market price of the security.

Securities index options are put options and call options on various securities indices. In most respects, they are identical to listed options on common stocks. The primary difference between stock options and index options occurs when index options are exercised. In the case of stock options, the underlying security, common stock, is delivered. However, upon the exercise of an index option, settlement does not occur by delivery of the securities comprising the index. The option holder who exercises the index option receives an amount of cash if the closing level of the securities index upon which the option is based is greater than, in the case of a call, or less than, in the case of a put, the exercise price of the option. This amount of cash is equal to the difference between the closing price of the securities index and the exercise price of the option expressed in dollars times a specified multiple. A securities index fluctuates with changes in the market value of the securities included in the index.

Global Atlantic Portfolios

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)

June 30, 2023

The Portfolios may purchase and sell options on the same types of futures in which it may invest. Options on futures are similar to options on underlying instruments except that options on futures give the purchaser the right, but not the obligation, to buy in return for the premium paid, to assume a position in a futures contract (a long position if the option is a call and a short position if the option is a put), rather than to purchase or sell the futures contract, at a specified exercise price at any time during the period of the option. Upon exercise of the option, the delivery of the futures position by the writer of the option to the holder of the option will be accompanied by the delivery of the accumulated balance in the writer's futures margin account which represents the amount by which the market price of the futures contract, at exercise, exceeds (in the case of a call) or is less than (in the case of a put) the exercise price of the option on the futures contract. Purchasers of options who fail to exercise their options prior to the exercise date suffer a loss of the premium paid.

Futures Contracts – The Portfolios are subject to equity price risk in the normal course of pursuing their investment objectives. The Portfolios may sell futures contracts to hedge against market risk, foreign currency exchange rate risks, and to reduce return volatility. Futures are standardized, exchange-traded contracts that provide for the future sale by one party and purchase by another party of a specified amount of a specific financial instrument (e.g., units of a securities index) for a specified price, date, time and place designated at the time the contract is made. Brokerage fees are incurred when a futures contract is bought or sold and initial and variation margin deposits must be maintained. Entering into a contract to buy is commonly referred to as buying or purchasing a contract or holding a long position. Entering into a contract to sell is commonly referred to as selling a contract or holding a short position. The Portfolios may also buy or sell hedge instruments based on one or more market indices in an attempt to maintain the Portfolios' volatility at a targeted level. Initial margin deposits required upon entering into futures contracts are satisfied by the segregation of specific securities or cash as collateral for the account of the broker (the Portfolio's agent in acquiring the futures position). During the period the futures contracts are open, changes in the value of the contracts are recognized as unrealized gains or losses by "marking to market" on a daily basis to reflect the market value of the contracts at the end of each day's trading. Variation margin payments are received or made depending upon whether unrealized gains or losses are incurred. When the contracts are closed, a Portfolio recognizes a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from, or cost of, the closing transaction and the Portfolio's basis in the contract. If a Portfolio were unable to liquidate a futures contract and/or enter into an offsetting closing transaction, the Portfolio would continue to be subject to market risk with respect to the value of the contracts and continue to be required to maintain the margin deposits on the futures contracts. These amounts are disclosed on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as Deposits with Brokers when applicable. Risks may exceed amounts recognized in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. With futures, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to a Portfolio since futures are exchange traded and the exchange's clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange traded futures, guarantees the futures against default.

For the six-months ended June 30, 2023, realized gains/(losses) and the change in unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) on futures contracts by risk type, as disclosed in the Statements of Operations, is as follows:

Swap Agreements – Certain Portfolios are subject to equity price risk and/or interest rate risk in the normal course of pursuing their investment objectives. These Portfolios may enter into various swap transactions for investment purposes or to manage interest rate, equity, foreign exchange (currency), or credit risk. These are two-party contracts entered into primarily to exchange the returns (or differentials in rates of returns) earned or realized on particular pre-determined investments or instruments. In a standard over-the-counter ("OTC") swap, two parties agree to exchange the returns, differentials in rates of return or some other amount earned or realized on the "notional amount" (i.e., the return or increase

in value of a particular dollar amount invested in a "basket" of securities, representing a particular index or industry sectors) of predetermined investments or instruments.

Certain Portfolios may enter into credit default swaps ("CDS"). CDS are two-party contracts that transfer credit exposure between the parties. One party (the "buyer") receives credit protection and the other party (the "seller") takes on credit risk. The buyer typically makes predetermined periodic payments to the seller in exchange for the seller's commitment to purchase the underlying reference obligation if a defined credit event occurs, such as a default, bankruptcy or failure to pay interest or principal on a reference debt instrument, with respect to a specified issuer or one of the reference issuers in a CDS portfolio. If the defined credit event occurs, the seller must pay the agreed-upon value of a reference obligation to the counterparty or perform pursuant to the agreement. The buyer must then surrender the reference obligation to the seller. As a seller of credit protection in a CDS, a Portfolio would be liable for the notional amount of the swap.

The swaps in which a Portfolio may invest may be centrally-cleared or bi-laterally traded. The gross returns to be exchanged or "swapped" between the parties are calculated with respect to a notional amount. Changes in the value of swap agreements are recognized as unrealized gains or losses in the Statements of Operations by "marking to market" on a daily basis to reflect the value of the swap agreement at the end of each trading day. Payments received or paid at the beginning of a swap agreement are reflected as such on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and may be referred to as upfront payments. A Portfolio amortizes upfront payments and/or accrues for the fixed payment stream on swap agreements on a daily basis with the net amount recorded as a component of unrealized gain or loss on the Statements of Operations. Realized gains and losses from the decrease in notional value of the swap are recognized on trade date. A liquidation payment received or made at the termination of the swap agreement is recorded as a realized gain or loss on the Statements of Operations. Swap agreements involve, to varying degrees, lack of liquidity and elements of credit, market and counterparty risk in excess of amounts recognized on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Each Portfolio's maximum risk of loss from the counterparty credit risk is the discounted net value of the cash flow to be received from the counterparty over the contract's remaining life, to be the extent that amount is positive.

Swaps may involve greater risks than direct investments in securities because swaps may be leveraged and, when traded in the OTC markets, are subject to counterparty risk, credit risk and pricing risk, each of which individually and collectively, may have a considerable impact on the performance of a Portfolio. CDS in particular may involve greater risks than investing in a referenced instrument directly. Swaps, especially those that are not exchange-traded, may also be considered illiquid. It may not be possible for a Portfolio to liquidate a swap position at an advantageous time or price, which may result in significant losses. Although central clearing and exchange-trading of swaps may decrease counterparty risk and increase market liquidity, exchange-trading and clearing does not make the contracts risk free, but rather, the primary credit risk on such contracts is the creditworthiness of the clearing broker or the clearinghouse.

The Portfolios use cash and certain securities as collateral to swap agreements as indicated on the Portfolio of Investments and Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Such collateral is held for the benefit of the counterparty in a segregated account to prevent non-payment by the Portfolios. If the counterparty defaults, a Portfolio may seek return of this collateral and incur certain costs exercising their rights to the collateral.

For the six-months ended June 30, 2023, realized gains/(losses) and the change in unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) on swap agreements by risk type, as disclosed in the Statements of Operations, is as follows:

The notional value of the derivative instruments outstanding as of June 30, 2023, as disclosed in the Portfolios of Investments, and the amounts of realized and changes in unrealized gains and losses on derivative instruments during the period as disclosed above and within the Statements of Operations serve as indicators of the volume of derivative activity for the Portfolios.

Short Sales – A Portfolio may make short sales of securities: (i) to offset potential declines in long positions in similar securities; (ii) to increase the flexibility of the Portfolio; (iii) for investment return; (iv) as part of a risk arbitrage strategy; and (v) as part of its overall portfolio management strategies involving the use of derivative instruments. A short sale is a transaction in which a Portfolio sells a security it does not own or have the right to acquire (or that it owns but does not wish to deliver) in anticipation that the market price of that security will decline.

When a Portfolio makes a short sale, the broker-dealer through which the short sale is made must borrow the security sold short and deliver it to the party purchasing the security. The Portfolio is required to make a margin deposit in connection with such short sales; the Portfolio may have to pay a fee to borrow particular securities and will often be obligated to pay over any dividends and accrued interest on borrowed securities.

If the price of the security sold short increases between the time of the short sale and the time a Portfolio covers its short position, the Portfolio will incur a loss; conversely, if the price declines, the Portfolio will realize a capital gain. Any gain will be decreased, and any loss increased, by the transaction costs described above. The successful use of short selling may be adversely affected by imperfect correlation between movements in the price of the security sold short and the securities being hedged.

To the extent a Portfolio sells securities short, it will provide collateral to the broker-dealer. A Portfolio does not intend to enter into short sales (other than short sales "against the box") if immediately after such sales the aggregate of the value of all collateral exceeds 10% of the value of the Portfolio's net assets. This percentage may be varied by action of the Board of Trustees. A short sale is "against the box" to the extent the Portfolio contemporaneously owns, or has the right to obtain at no added cost, securities identical to those sold short.

As of June 30, 2023, the Portfolios did not hold any short sales of securities.

Global Atlantic Portfolios

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)

June 30, 2023

When-Issued and Delayed-Delivery Transactions – The Portfolios may engage in when-issued or delayed-delivery transactions. The Portfolios record when-issued securities on the trade date. Securities purchased on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis are marked to market daily and begin earning interest on the settlement date. Losses may occur on these transactions due to changes in market conditions or the failure of counterparties to perform under the contract.

Real Estate Investment Trusts – Certain Portfolios may invest in real estate investment trusts ("REITs"). REITs are pooled investment vehicles that own, and typically operate, income-producing real estate. If a REIT meets certain requirements, including distributing to shareholders substantially all of its taxable income (other than net capital gains), then it is not taxed on the income distributed to shareholders. REITs are subject to management fees and other expenses, and so a Portfolio that invests in REITs will bear its proportionate share of the costs of the REITs' operations. Along with the risks common to different types of real estate-related securities, such as loss to casualty or condemnation, increases in property taxes and operating expenses, zoning law amendments, changes in interest rates, overbuilding and increased competition, variations in market value, and possible environmental liabilities, REITs involve additional risk factors. These include poor performance by the REIT's manager, changes to the tax laws, and failure by the REIT to qualify for tax free distribution of income or exemption under the 1940 Act. In addition, REITs are not diversified and are heavily dependent on cash flow.

Distributions from a Portfolio's investments in REITs may be characterized as ordinary income, a net capital gain or a return of capital. The Portfolios record distributions that represent a net capital gain as a realized gain and distributions that represent a return of capital as a reduction of the cost of investment. REITs report information on the source of their distributions annually in the following calendar year. As a result, a Portfolio may estimate the source of REIT distributions for accounting purposes and then makes adjustments when the actual source information is reported by the REIT. These estimates are based on the most recent REIT distribution information available.

Mortgage Dollar Roll Transactions – A mortgage dollar roll transaction involves a sale by a Portfolio of mortgage related securities that it holds with an agreement by the Portfolio to repurchase similar securities at an agreed upon price and date. The securities purchased will bear the same interest rate as those sold, but generally will be collateralized by pools of mortgages with different prepayment histories than those securities sold. The Portfolios account for mortgage dollar rolls as purchases and sales transactions.

Expenses – Expenses of the Trust that are directly identifiable to a specific Portfolio are charged to that Portfolio. Expenses, which are not readily identifiable to a specific Portfolio, are allocated in such a manner as deemed equitable, taking into consideration the nature and type of expense and the relative sizes of the Portfolios in the Trust.

Indemnification – The Trust indemnifies its officers and Trustees for certain liabilities that may arise from the performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Portfolios enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which provide general indemnities. Each Portfolio's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Portfolios that have not yet occurred. However, the Portfolios expect the risk of loss due to these warranties and indemnities to be remote.

During the six-month period ended June 30, 2023, with respect to each Portfolio, the Adviser contractually agreed to waive its fees and to reimburse expenses, at least until the expiration dates listed below, to ensure that total annual portfolio operating expenses after fee waiver and/or reimbursement (exclusive of any front-end or contingent deferred loads, brokerage fees and commissions, acquired fund fees and expenses, borrowing costs (such as interest and dividend expense on securities sold short), taxes and extraordinary expenses, such as litigation) will not exceed the average daily net asset percentages attributable to the Portfolio's shares listed below ("Waiver Agreements"). The expense reimbursement is subject to possible recoupment from the Portfolio in future years on a rolling three year basis (within the three years after the fees have been waived or reimbursed) if such recoupment can be achieved within the lesser of the expense limits listed below and any expense limits applicable at the time of recoupment. The agreements may be terminated only by the Portfolio's Board of Trustees, on 60 days' written notice to the Adviser.

In addition, the Adviser has agreed to waive 0.40% of its fees for Global Atlantic American Funds®​ Managed Risk Portfolio and Global Atlantic Select Advisor Managed Risk Portfolio for as long as each Portfolio relies primarily on investments in underlying funds to achieve its principal investment strategy. These waivers are not subject to recoupment.

The Adviser or its affiliates may receive compensation from managers of underlying funds in which certain Portfolios invest. This compensation may create a conflict of interest for the Adviser in the selection of underlying funds for investment by the Portfolio. However, the Adviser will voluntarily reduce the amount of its compensation under its Advisory Agreement with the Portfolio by the amount of compensation received from managers of underlying funds. The minimum amount of this waiver, until at least May 1, 2024 for each Portfolio is based on estimated amounts expected to be received during the current fiscal year. The actual amount of each waiver may be higher to the extent the payments exceed the Adviser's estimates, but it will not be lower. These waivers are not subject to recoupment by the Adviser. The waivers may be terminated only by the Portfolio's Board of Trustees, on 60 days' written notice to the Adviser.

5.  CONTROL OWNERSHIP

The beneficial ownership, either directly or indirectly, of more than 25% of the voting securities of a Portfolio creates a presumption of the control of the Portfolio, under section 2(a)(9) of the 1940 Act. As of June 30, 2023, Forethought Life Insurance Company Separate Account A owned 100% of the voting securities of each Portfolio. The Trust has no knowledge as to whether all or any portion of the shares owned of record are also owned beneficially.

Shareholder Concentration Risk – Forethought Life Insurance Company, certain accounts, or the Adviser's affiliates may from time to time own (beneficially or of record) or control a significant percentage of a Portfolio's shares. Redemptions by these entities of their holdings in a Portfolio may impact the Portfolio's liquidity and NAV. These redemptions may also force a Portfolio to sell securities.

The difference between book basis and tax basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation), undistributed ordinary income (loss) and accumulated net realized gain (loss) from investments is primarily attributable to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales, the mark-to-market on passive foreign investment companies, and open 1256 options and futures contracts, forward foreign currency contracts and swaps. The unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the table above includes unrealized foreign currency gains (losses) of $22 and $(159) for Global Atlantic Balanced Managed Risk Portfolio and Global Atlantic Franklin Dividend and Income Managed Risk Portfolio, respectively.

8.  NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In March 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2020-04 ("ASU 2020-04"), "Reference Rate Reform (Topic 840): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting". ASU 2020-04 provides entities with optional guidance to ease the potential accounting burden associated with transitioning away from reference rates (e.g., LIBOR) that are expected to be discontinued. ASU 2020-04 allows, among other things, certain contract modifications to be accounted as a continuation of the existing contract. This ASU was effective upon the issuance and its optional relief can be applied through December 31, 2024. Management has reviewed the requirements and believes the adoption of this ASU will not have a material impact on the financial statements.

9.  OTHER RISKS

The Portfolios' risks include, but are not limited to, the following:

Credit Risk – There is a risk that security issuers will not make interest and/or principal payments on their securities. In addition, the credit quality of securities may be lowered if an issuer's financial condition changes. Lower credit quality will lead to greater volatility in the price of a security and in shares of a Portfolio. Lower credit quality also will affect liquidity and make it difficult to sell the security. This means that, compared to issuers of higher rated securities, issuers of lower rated securities are less likely to have the capacity to pay interest and repay principal when due in the event of adverse business, financial or economic conditions and/or may be in default or not current in the payment of interest or principal. Default, or the perception (whether by market participants, rating agencies, pricing services or otherwise) that an issuer is likely to default, tends to reduce the value and liquidity of fixed income securities, thereby reducing the value of your investment in Portfolio shares. In addition, default may cause a Portfolio to directly or indirectly incur expenses in seeking recovery of principal or interest.

A Portfolio could lose money on a debt security if an issuer or borrower is unable or fails to meet its obligations, including failing to make interest payments and/or to repay principal when due. Changes in an issuer's financial strength, the market's perception of the issuer's financial strength or in a security's credit rating, which reflects a third party's assessment of the credit risk presented by a particular issuer, may affect debt securities' value. A Portfolio may incur substantial losses on debt securities that are inaccurately perceived to present a different amount of credit risk by the market, the Sub-Adviser and/or Underlying Fund manager or the rating agencies than such securities actually do. These risks are heightened in market environments where interest rates are rising.

Derivatives Risk – The use of derivatives is a highly specialized activity that involves investment techniques and risks different from those associated with investments in more traditional securities and instruments. The use of derivatives may increase costs, reduce a Portfolio's returns and/or increase volatility. Volatility is defined as the characteristic of a security, an index or a market to fluctuate significantly in price within a short time period. Many types of derivatives are also subject to


63


Global Atlantic Portfolios

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)

June 30, 2023

counterparty risk, which is the risk that the other party in the transaction will not fulfill its contractual obligation. A risk of a Portfolio's use of derivatives is that the fluctuations in their values may not correlate perfectly with, and may be more sensitive to market events than, the overall securities markets. The possible lack of a liquid secondary market for derivatives and the resulting inability to sell or otherwise close-out a derivatives position at an advantageous time or price could expose a Portfolio to losses and could make derivatives more difficult to value accurately. Derivatives typically give rise to a form of leverage and may expose a Portfolio to greater risk and increase its costs. The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the "Dodd-Frank Act") and related regulatory developments require the clearing and exchange-trading of many standardized over-the-counter ("OTC") derivative instruments deemed to be "swaps." The Commodity Futures Trading Commission ("CFTC") has implemented mandatory exchange-trading and clearing requirements under the Dodd-Frank Act and the CFTC continues to approve contracts for central clearing. Uncleared swaps are subject to margin requirements that are being implemented on a phase-in basis.

Exchange-Traded Funds Risk – The Portfolios may invest in ETFs. Investments in underlying ETFs typically present the same risks as investments in conventional Underlying Funds. In addition, disruptions to the creations and redemptions process through which market makers directly purchase and sell ETF shares, the existence of extreme market volatility or potential lack of an active trading market, or changes in the liquidity of the market for an ETF's underlying portfolio holdings, may result in the ETF's shares trading at significantly above (at a premium to) or below (at a discount to) net asset value, which may result in a Portfolio paying significantly more or receiving significantly less for ETF shares than the value of the relevant ETF's underlying holdings. An ETF's shares could also trade at a premium or discount to net asset value when an ETF's underlying securities trade on a foreign exchange that is closed when the securities exchange on which the ETF trades is open. The current price of the ETF's underlying securities and the last quoted price for the underlying security are likely to deviate in such circumstances. There can be no assurance that an active trading market for an ETF's shares will develop or be maintained. Trading may be halted, for example, due to market conditions. Because the value of ETF shares depends on the demand in the market, a Portfolio's holdings may not be able to be liquidated at the most optimal time, adversely affecting performance.

There can be no assurance that an ETF's investment objectives will be achieved. Each ETF is subject to specific risks, depending on the nature of the ETF. These risks could include liquidity risk, sector risk, foreign and emerging market risk, as well as risks associated with real estate investments and natural resources. ETFs in which a Portfolio invests will not be able to replicate exactly the performance of the indices they track, if any, because the total return generated by the securities will be reduced by transaction costs incurred in adjusting the actual balance of the securities. In addition, ETFs in which a Portfolio invests will incur expenses not incurred by their applicable indices. Certain securities comprising the indices tracked by the ETFs may, from time to time, temporarily be unavailable, which may further impede the ETFs' ability to track their applicable indices. An investment in an ETF presents the risk that the ETF may no longer meet the listing requirements of any applicable exchanges on which the ETF is listed.

Market Risk – The market prices of securities may go up or down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably, due to general market conditions, such as real or perceived adverse economic or political conditions, inflation, changes in interest rates or currency rates, limited dealer capacity, lack of liquidity in the markets or adverse investor sentiment. Each Portfolio has exposure to instruments that may be more volatile and carry more risk than some other forms of investment. Adverse market conditions may be prolonged and may not have the same impact on all types of securities. Market prices of securities also may go down due to events or conditions that affect particular sectors, industries or issuers. When market prices fall, the value of your investment will go down. Local, regional or global events such as war, military conflict, acts of terrorism, the spread of infectious illness or other public health issues, natural disasters, recessions, inflation, rapid interest rate changes, supply chain disruptions, sanctions, increased government spending, social unrest or other events could also have a significant impact on the Portfolio and its investments. The market prices of securities may also be negatively impacted by trading activity and investor interest, including interest driven by factors unrelated to market conditions or financial performance. In these circumstances, the value of the Portfolio's investments, particularly any short positions or exposures, may fluctuate dramatically.

A Portfolio may experience a substantial or complete loss on any individual security.

Policy and legislative changes in the U.S. and abroad affect many aspects of financial regulation and may, in some cases, contribute to decreased liquidity and increased volatility in the financial markets. Economies and financial markets around the world are becoming increasingly interconnected. As a result, whether or not a Portfolio has exposure to securities of


64


Global Atlantic Portfolios

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)

June 30, 2023

issuers located in or with significant exposure to countries experiencing economic and financial difficulties, the value and liquidity of the Portfolio's investments may be negatively affected.

In addition, market prices of securities in broad market segments may be adversely affected by a prominent issuer having experienced losses or by the lack of earnings or such an issuer's failure to meet the market's expectations with respect to new products or services, or even by factors wholly unrelated to the value or condition of the issuer, such as changes in interest rates. For example, adverse developments in the banking or financial services sector could impact companies operating in various sectors or industries and adversely impact Portfolio developments. An increase in interest rates or other adverse conditions (e.g., inflation/deflation, increased selling of fixed income investments across other pooled investment vehicles or accounts, changes in investor perception or changes in government intervention in the markets) may lead to increased redemptions and increased portfolio turnover, which could reduce liquidity for certain Portfolio investments, adversely affect values of portfolio holdings and increase a Portfolio's costs. If dealer capacity in fixed income markets is insufficient for market conditions, this has the potential to further inhibit liquidity and increase volatility in the fixed income markets.

10.  OTHER RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

Ongoing concerns regarding the economies of certain countries in Europe, as well as the possibility that one or more countries could leave the European Union (the "EU"), create risks for investing in the European markets. For example, the United Kingdom ("UK") withdrew from the EU in January 2020 (commonly known as "Brexit"). This commenced a transition period that lasted until December 31, 2020. On December 30, 2020, the EU and UK signed the EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement ("TCA"), an agreement on the terms governing certain aspects of the EU's and the UK's relationship following the end of the transition period. Notwithstanding the TCA, there continues to be considerable uncertainty as to the UK's post-transition framework. Although the full impact of Brexit is not yet known, the impact on the UK, EU and global markets could include increased volatility and illiquidity, potentially lower economic growth and decreased asset valuations. Brexit may have a destabilizing impact on the EU to the extent other member states similarly seek to withdraw from the union. Brexit may also have a negative impact on the economy and currency of the UK as a result of anticipated, or actual changes to the UK's economic and political relations with the EU. Any or all of these challenges may affect the value of a Portfolio's investments economically tied to the UK or the EU.

The United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority ("FCA") announced that the use of the London Interbank Offered Rates (collectively, "LIBOR") would be phased out by the end of 2021. However, while certain LIBORs were discontinued in 2021, the most widely used LIBORs may continue until mid-2023. The unavailability or replacement of LIBOR presents risks to applicable Portfolios, including the risk that any pricing adjustments to a Portfolio's investments resulting from a substitute reference (e.g., the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"), which is a measure of the cost of borrowing cash overnight, collateralized by the U.S. Treasury securities and is intended to replace the U.S. dollar) rate may adversely affect the Portfolio's performance and/or NAV. The impact of a substitute reference rate, if any, will vary on an investment-by-investment basis. The Adviser or Sub-Adviser may have discretion to determine a substitute reference rate, including any price or other adjustments to account for differences between the substitute reference rate and the previous rate. The substitute reference rate and any adjustments selected could negatively impact a Portfolio's investment performance or financial condition, including in ways unforeseen by the Adviser or Sub-Adviser.

11.  BOARD REVIEW OF LIQUIDITY RISK MANAGEMENT PROGRAM

To promote effective liquidity risk management throughout the fund industry and to enhance disclosure regarding fund liquidity and redemption practices, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") adopted Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. This Rule requires every registered open-end management company to establish a liquidity risk management program (the "LRMP") that, among other things, provides for the assessment, management and review of liquidity risk, the classification of a fund's portfolio investments into one of four liquidity buckets based upon the number of days that such investments may reasonably be expected to be converted into cash or otherwise disposed of without significantly impacting their price, the establishment of a highly liquid investment minimum where required, the establishment of a 15% limitation on illiquid investments and periodic reporting to the Trust's Board of Trustees (the "Board"). Additionally, the Commission adopted Rule 30b1-10 and Form N-LIQUID, which generally requires a fund to notify the Commission when certain liquidity-related events occur.

Global Atlantic Portfolios

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)

June 30, 2023

The Board previously approved the LRMP for the Trust and the appointment of the FVIT Liquidity Risk Management Program Committee (the "Committee") as the Program Administrator of the LRMP for the Trust. The Committee is comprised of the Trust's Chief Compliance Officer and other officers of the Trust and the Adviser. At the Board's regular meeting on May 4, 2023, the Trust's Chief Compliance Officer provided a report to the Board (the "Report") on the operation and effectiveness of the LRMP for the period April 1, 2022 through March 31, 2023 (the "Reporting Period"). The Report included, among other things, a discussion of how the Adviser manages liquidity risks associated with the Portfolios' investments by monitoring the liquidity of portfolio investments during normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions, cash and cash equivalents, the concentration of investments and the appropriateness of portfolio strategies for open-end funds, and by classifying every portfolio investment as either highly liquid, moderately liquid, less liquid or illiquid on at least a monthly basis. To assist with the classification of portfolio investments, the Adviser utilizes a third party provider for liquidity monitoring services.

The Report stated that during this period, each Portfolio operated as a Primarily Highly Liquid Fund. Because each Portfolio consisted primarily of highly liquid investments that exceeded the 50% SEC threshold for Primarily Highly Liquid Funds, no highly liquid investment minimum was required to be established for the Portfolios, and each Portfolio was well under its illiquid investment limitations. Additionally, no events that would require the filing of Form N-LIQUID occurred. The Report concluded that the LRMP was reasonably designed to assess and manage liquidity risk and did effectively manage the Portfolios' liquidity risks for the Reporting Period.

12.  CHANGE IN INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

On March 24, 2023, based on the recommendation and approval of the Audit Committee of the Board of Trustees of Forethought Variable Insurance Trust (the "Trust"), the Board of Trustees approved the appointment of Cohen & Company, Ltd. ("Cohen") as the Portfolios' independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023. RSM US LLP ("RSM"), which previously served as the independent registered public accounting firm for the Portfolios, declined to stand for reacceptance of the role for the 2023 audit due to an anticipated independence issue and not based upon any issues related to the 2022 audit. RSM's reports on the Portfolios' financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2022 contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principle.

During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2022 and during the subsequent interim period through March 24, 2023: (i) there were no disagreements with RSM on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of RSM, would have caused RSM to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its reports on the Portfolios' financial statements for such periods; and (ii) there were no "reportable events" of the kind described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

During the Portfolios' fiscal years ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2022, and the subsequent interim period through March 24, 2023, neither the Trust, nor anyone on its behalf, consulted with Cohen on items which: (i) concerned the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Portfolios' financial statements; or (ii) concerned the subject of a disagreement (as described in paragraph (a)(1)(iv) of Item 304 of Regulation S-K) or reportable events (as described in paragraph (a)(1)(v) of said Item 304).

13.  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Portfolios evaluated subsequent events from June 30, 2023 through the date these financial statements were issued. There were no significant events that would have a material impact on the Portfolios' financial statements.

Global Atlantic Portfolios

Expense Examples

June 30, 2023 (Unaudited)

As a shareholder of the Portfolios, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees; and other Portfolio expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in each Portfolio and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from January 1, 2023 through June 30, 2023.

Actual Expenses

The "Actual" expenses set of columns in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information below together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The "Hypothetical" expenses set of columns in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each Portfolio's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Portfolio's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balances or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare this 5% hypothetical example for a specific Portfolio with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), or redemption fees or other expenses charged by your insurance contract or separate account. Therefore, the Hypothetical columns of the table are useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.
