Investment Objectives: The Portfolio seeks to provide capital appreciation and income while seeking to manage volatility.

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. The table and the example do not include any fees or sales charges imposed by your variable annuity contract. If they were included, your costs would be higher. Please refer to your variable annuity prospectus for information on the separate account fees and expenses associated with your contract.

(1)  Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses are the indirect cost of investing in other investment companies, the costs of which will not be included in the Portfolio's financial statements. The operating expenses in this fee table will not correlate to the expense ratio in the Portfolio's financial highlights because the financial statements include only the direct operating expenses incurred by the Portfolio.

(2)  The Portfolio's investment adviser, Global Atlantic Investment Advisors, LLC (the "Adviser"), has contractually agreed, until at least May 1, 2026, to waive 0.40% of its advisory fee. This waiver is not subject to recoupment by the Adviser. The agreement may be terminated only by the Portfolio's Board of Trustees, on 60 days' written notice to the Adviser.

Example: This 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. You would pay the same expenses if you did not redeem your shares. However, each variable annuity contract and separate account involves fees and expenses that are not included in the Example. If these fees and expenses were included in the Example, your overall expenses would be higher. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Portfolio's operating expenses remain the same

Principal Investment Strategies: The Adviser allocates a portion of the Portfolio to a capital appreciation and income component (the "Capital Appreciation and Income Component") managed by Wilshire Advisors LLC ("Wilshire" or a "Sub-Adviser") and a portion to a managed risk component (the "Managed Risk Component") managed by Milliman Financial Risk Management LLC ("Milliman" or a "Sub-Adviser"). Wilshire manages the Capital Appreciation and Income Component pursuant to a "fund of funds" strategy that seeks to achieve its objective by investing in a combination of certain mutual funds in the American Funds Insurance Series^®​ and other American Funds^®​ (the "Underlying Funds"), offered through different prospectuses. This strategy of investing in a combination of Underlying Funds is intended to result in investment diversification that an investor could otherwise achieve only by holding numerous individual investments. Milliman manages the Managed Risk Component pursuant to a strategy that seeks to manage portfolio volatility and provide downside risk management.

The Adviser seeks to achieve the Portfolio's investment objective by allocating, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of the Portfolio's net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, to the Capital Appreciation and Income Component and up to 20% of the Portfolio's net assets to the Managed Risk Component. Wilshire expects to further allocate approximately 65% of the Portfolio's Capital Appreciation and Income Component to Underlying Funds that hold primarily equity securities and 35% to Underlying Funds that hold primarily fixed-income securities, although Wilshire may modify the target allocation from time to time. Wilshire utilizes both qualitative and quantitative components to develop the target allocations. The process seeks to generate target allocations that integrate Wilshire's macroeconomic views, strategy insights, and robust analytics to develop a portfolio that is designed to perform in a variety of market environments.

The Portfolio will include, but is not limited to, Underlying Funds that also employ an active investment style. The equity Underlying Funds typically invest in core, growth and value equity securities of U.S. and foreign medium and large capitalization issuers, but may also invest in small capitalization companies and derivatives. The fixed-income Underlying Funds typically invest in domestic fixed-income securities including, but not limited to, U.S. Treasury securities, sovereign debt securities, corporate bonds, mortgage-backed securities and inflation-indexed securities, as well as derivatives. In addition, the Underlying Funds may invest in debt assets in lower quality debt securities (rated Ba1 or below and BB+ or below by Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organizations designated by the Underlying Funds' adviser or unrated but determined to be of equivalent quality by the Underlying Funds' adviser). Such securities are sometimes referred to as "junk bonds."

Wilshire generally intends to rebalance the Portfolio on a quarterly basis or as needed, to align more closely with target allocations. The target allocations are subject to change through dynamic tilts (a percentage overweight or underweight relative to long-term strategic asset allocation targets) that emphasize asset classes and strategies that appear attractive and undervalued and de-emphasize asset classes and strategies that appear less attractive. Under normal conditions, dynamic tilts are reflected in Wilshire's quarterly target allocations, but Wilshire will make ad-hoc changes intra-quarter if its dynamic views deem them appropriate. The basis for such dynamic tilts is developed in Wilshire's Investment Strategy Committee, which is comprised of senior investment professionals across Wilshire's investment team.

In the Managed Risk Component, the Adviser seeks to manage return volatility by employing Milliman to execute a managed risk strategy, which consists of using hedge instruments to reduce the downside risk of the Portfolio's securities. Milliman may use hedge instruments to accomplish this goal, which may include: equity futures contracts, treasury futures contracts, currency futures contracts, and other hedge instruments judged by Milliman to be necessary to achieve the goals of the managed risk strategy. Milliman may also buy or sell hedge instruments based on one or more market indices in an attempt to maintain the Portfolio's volatility at the targeted level in an environment in which Milliman expects

Asset Allocation Risk: The Portfolio's percentage allocations among its investments could cause the Portfolio to underperform relative to relevant benchmarks and other mutual funds with similar investment objectives.

Conflicts of Interest Risk: The Portfolio's strategy is designed to reduce the Portfolio's return volatility and manage downside exposure during periods of significant market declines but may not work as intended. The Portfolio's strategy may also reduce the risks assumed by the insurance company that sponsors your variable annuity contract. This facilitates the insurance company's ability to provide certain guaranteed benefits but may result in periods of underperformance, reduce a contract holder's ability to fully participate in rising markets and may increase transaction costs at the Portfolio and/or Underlying Fund level. Although the interests of contract holders and the insurance company are generally aligned, the insurance company (and the Adviser due to its affiliation with the insurance company) may face potential conflicts of interest. Specifically, the Portfolio's strategy may have the effect of mitigating the financial risks to the insurance company when providing certain guaranteed benefits.

Derivatives Risk: The use of derivatives may increase costs, reduce the Portfolio's returns and/or increase volatility. The use of derivatives may also result in leverage, which can magnify the effects of changes in the value of investments, make such investments more volatile and expose the Portfolio to losses that exceed the initial amount invested. Many types of derivatives are also subject to the risk that the other party in the transaction will not fulfill its contractual obligation. Derivatives are subject to risks arising from margin requirements. In addition, the fluctuations in the values of derivatives 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 the Portfolio to losses and could make derivatives more difficult to value accurately. Derivative investments are further subject to regulatory risks, from both U.S. and foreign regulators that may impact the availability, liquidity and costs associated with such investments and potentially limit the ability of mutual funds to invest in derivatives.

Equity Risk: Common and preferred stock prices can fall rapidly in response to developments affecting a specific company or industry, or to changing economic, political or market conditions.

Fixed Income Risk: The value of bonds and other fixed-income securities will fluctuate with changes in interest rates. Typically, a rise in periods of volatility and rising interest rates may lead to increased redemptions and volatility and decreased liquidity in the fixed-income markets, making it more difficult to sell fixed-income holdings. In general, the market price of debt securities with longer maturities will increase or decrease more in response to changes in interest rates than shorter-term securities. Securities issued by U.S. government agencies or government-sponsored enterprises may not be guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury. Other risk factors include credit risk (the debtor may default), prepayment risk (the debtor may pay its obligations early, reducing the amount of interest payments), extension risk (repayments may occur more slowly if interest rates rise) and income risk (distributions to shareholders may decline where interest rates fall or defaults occur). These risks could affect the value of a particular investment, possibly causing the Portfolio's share price and total return to be reduced and fluctuate more than other types of investments.

Foreign Currency Risk: Exposure to foreign securities denominated in non-US dollar currencies will subject the Portfolio to currency trading risks that include market risk and country risk. Market risk results from adverse changes in exchange rates. Country risk arises because a government may interfere with transactions in its currency.

Foreign Investment Risk: Foreign investing involves risks not typically associated with U.S. investments, including adverse fluctuations in foreign currency values, adverse political, social and economic developments, less liquidity, greater volatility, restrictions on capital movements, less developed or less efficient trading markets, political instability, sanctions, and differing auditing and legal standards.

High-Yield Debt Securities Risk: Lower-quality bonds (including loans), known as "high-yield" or "junk" bonds, and unrated securities of similar credit quality are considered speculative and involve greater risk of a complete loss of an investment, or delays of interest and principal payments, than higher-quality debt securities. Issuers of high-yield debt securities are typically not as strong financially as those issuing securities of higher credit quality. These issuers are more likely to encounter financial difficulties and are more vulnerable to changes in the relevant economy that could affect their ability to make interest and principal payments when due. The prices of high-yield debt securities generally fluctuate more than higher quality securities. High-yield debt securities are generally less liquid than higher quality securities, making them harder to sell and harder to value.

Large Cap Risk: Large cap companies may be unable to respond quickly to new competitive challenges, such as changes in technology and consumer tastes, and also may not be able to attain the high growth rate of successful smaller companies, especially during extended periods of economic expansion.

Management Risk: The Portfolio's strategies may not produce the desired results, and may result in losses to the Portfolio.

Market Risk: Overall securities market risks may affect the value of individual securities. 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. Factors such as foreign and domestic economic growth and market conditions, interest rate levels, and political events may adversely affect the securities markets. Local, regional or global events such as war, military conflict, geopolitical disputes, acts of terrorism, the spread of infectious illness or other public health issues, natural disasters, recessions, inflation, rapid interest rate changes, supply chain disruptions, tariffs and other restrictions on trade, sanctions, increased government spending, social or political unrest or other events, or the threat or potential threat of one or more such events and developments, could also have a significant impact on the Portfolio and its investments.

Mid Cap Risk: The securities of mid cap companies generally trade in lower volumes and are generally subject to greater and less predictable price changes than the securities of larger capitalization companies. Medium capitalization companies may be more vulnerable than larger, more established organizations to adverse business or economic developments.

Mortgage- and Asset-Backed Securities Risk: Mortgage- and asset-backed securities differ from conventional debt securities because principal is paid back periodically over the life of the security rather than at maturity. An investor may receive unscheduled payments of principal due to voluntary prepayments, refinancings or foreclosures on the underlying loans. To the investor this means a loss of anticipated interest, and a portion of its principal investment represented by any premium the investor may have paid. Mortgage prepayments generally increase when interest rates fall. Mortgage-backed securities also are subject to extension risk. Rising interest rates could reduce the rate of prepayments on mortgage-backed securities and extend their life. This could cause the price of the mortgage-backed securities and the Underlying Fund's share price to fall and would make the mortgage-backed securities more sensitive to interest rate changes. Issuers of asset-backed securities may have limited ability to enforce the security interest in the underlying assets, and credit enhancements provided to support the securities, if any, may be inadequate to protect investors in the event of default. Like mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities are subject to prepayment and extension risks.

Over-the-Counter Transactions Risk: The Portfolio engages in over-the-counter ("OTC") transactions, some of which trade in a dealer network, rather than on an exchange. In general, there is less governmental regulation and supervision of transactions in the OTC markets than transactions entered into on organized exchanges, with OTC transactions subject to the risk that a counterparty to the transaction will not fulfill its contractual obligations.

Short Positions Risk: Losses from short positions in derivatives contracts occur when the reference instrument increases in value. Losses from a short position in a derivatives contract could potentially be very large if the value of the underlying reference instrument rises dramatically in a short period of time, including the potential loss that exceeds the actual cost of the investment.

Small Cap Risk: Small capitalization companies may be more vulnerable than larger, more established organizations to adverse business or economic developments. In particular, small capitalization companies may have more limited product lines, markets and financial resources and may depend on a relatively small management group.

Sovereign Debt Risk: Sovereign debt instruments are subject to the risk that a governmental entity may delay or refuse to pay interest or repay principal on its sovereign debt.

Underlying Fund Risk: Underlying Funds are subject to investment advisory and other expenses, which will be indirectly paid by the Portfolio. As a result, your cost of investing in the Portfolio will be higher than the cost of investing directly in an Underlying Fund and may be higher than other mutual funds that invest directly in stocks and bonds. Because the Portfolio's investments include shares of the Underlying Funds, the Portfolio's risks include the risks of each Underlying Fund.

Unrated Debt Securities Risk: Unrated debt securities determined to be of comparable credit quality to rated securities which the Underlying Fund may purchase may pay a higher interest rate than such rated debt securities and be subject to a greater risk of illiquidity or price changes. Less public information and independent credit analysis are typically available about unrated securities or issuers, and therefore they may be subject to greater risk of default.

Investment Objectives: The Portfolio seeks to provide capital appreciation and income while seeking to manage volatility.

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. The table and the example do not include any fees or sales charges imposed by your variable annuity contract. If they were included, your costs would be higher. Please refer to your variable annuity prospectus for information on the separate account fees and expenses associated with your contract.

(1)  Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses are the indirect cost of investing in other investment companies, the costs of which will not be included in the Portfolio's financial statements. The operating expenses in this fee table will not correlate to the expense ratio in the Portfolio's financial highlights because the financial statements include only the direct operating expenses incurred by the Portfolio.

Example: This 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. You would pay the same expenses if you did not redeem your shares. However, each variable annuity contract and separate account involves fees and expenses that are not included in the Example. If these fees and expenses were included in the Example, your overall expenses would be higher. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Portfolio's operating expenses remain the same (except that the Example reflects any applicable contractual fee waivers/expense reimbursement arrangements for only the first year). Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based upon these assumptions your costs would be:

Portfolio Turnover: The Portfolio pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities or instruments (or "turns over" its portfolio). These costs, which are not reflected in annual portfolio operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Portfolio's performance. A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs.

Principal Investment Strategies: The Adviser allocates a portion of the Portfolio to a capital appreciation and income component (the "Capital Appreciation and Income Component") managed by BlackRock Investment Management, LLC ("BlackRock" or a "Sub-Adviser") and a portion to a managed risk component (the "Managed Risk Component") managed by Milliman Financial Risk Management LLC ("Milliman" or a "Sub-Adviser"). BlackRock manages the Capital Appreciation and Income Component pursuant to a strategy that seeks to invest in a combination of iShares Exchange Traded Funds ("ETFs") that are affiliated with BlackRock and are offered through different prospectuses. The Portfolio intends its strategy of providing exposure to a combination of ETFs to result in investment diversification that an investor could otherwise achieve only by holding numerous individual investments. Milliman manages the Managed Risk Component pursuant to a strategy that seeks to manage portfolio volatility and provide downside risk management.

The Adviser seeks to achieve the Portfolio's investment objective by allocating, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of the Portfolio's net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, to the Capital Appreciation and Income Component and up to 20% of the Portfolio's net assets to the Managed Risk Component. BlackRock expects to further allocate approximately 50% of the Capital Appreciation and Income Component assets to equity-based ETFs, and approximately 50% to fixed-income-based ETFs, although BlackRock may modify the target allocation from time to time. The Portfolio incorporates a global tactical asset allocation strategy that, under normal circumstances, seeks to adjust allocations to asset classes that BlackRock deems to be attractive investments over the short to intermediate term. This strategy seeks to enhance the total return and manages portfolio risk at the aggregate level. Modifications in the allocations to the ETFs are based on techniques that may include technical, qualitative, quantitative and momentum analysis of the market. The mix of ETFs will vary with market conditions and BlackRock's assessment of the ETFs' relative attractiveness as investment opportunities.

Certain ETFs' investments will focus on investments in securities listed on domestic and foreign equity exchanges with growth and value styles, including, small-, mid- and large-cap issuers, and on investments in domestic and foreign fixed-income instruments including U.S. treasuries, mortgage- and asset-backed securities, corporate loans, distressed securities, inflation-indexed instruments, corporate bonds, sovereign and emerging market debt. An ETF may invest a large percentage of its assets in indices located in a single country, a small number of countries, or a particular geographic region. As a result of its exposure to certain ETFs, the Portfolio indirectly provides exposure principally to U.S. and non-U.S. equity and fixed-income securities and derivatives. In addition, the ETFs may invest in debt assets in lower quality debt securities (rated Ba1 or below and BB+ or below by Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organizations designated by the ETFs' adviser or unrated but determined to be of equivalent quality by the ETFs' adviser). Such securities are sometimes referred to as "junk bonds." An ETF may integrate environmental, social and governance ("ESG") factors into its investment selection process and/or screen out particular companies and industries based on certain ESG related criteria. An ETF may also seek to deliver exposure to certain style factors (i.e., quality, value, momentum, size, minimum volatility).

In the Managed Risk Component, the Adviser seeks to manage return volatility by employing Milliman to execute a managed risk strategy, which consists of using hedge instruments to reduce the downside risk of the Portfolio's securities. Milliman may use hedge instruments to accomplish this goal, which may include: equity futures contracts, treasury futures contracts, currency futures contracts, and other hedge instruments judged by Milliman to be necessary to achieve the goals of the managed risk strategy. Milliman may also buy or sell hedge instruments based on one or more market indices in an attempt to maintain the Portfolio's volatility at the targeted level in an environment in which Milliman expects market volatility to decrease or increase, respectively. Milliman selects individual hedge instruments that it believes will have prices that are highly correlated to the Portfolio's positions. Milliman adjusts hedge instruments to manage overall net Portfolio risk exposure, in an attempt to stabilize the volatility of the Portfolio around a predetermined target level and reduce the potential for portfolio losses during periods of significant and sustained market decline. Milliman seeks to monitor and forecast volatility in the markets using a proprietary model, and adjust the Portfolio's hedge instruments accordingly. In addition, Milliman will monitor liquidity levels of relevant hedge instruments and transparency provided by exchanges or counterparties in hedging transactions. Milliman adjusts futures positions to manage overall net Portfolio risk exposure. Milliman may, during periods of rising security prices, implement strategies to preserve gains on the Portfolio's positions. Milliman may, during periods of falling security prices, implement additional strategies to reduce losses in adverse market conditions. In these situations, Milliman's activity could significantly reduce the Portfolio's net economic exposure to equity securities. Following market declines, a downside rebalancing strategy will be used to decrease the amount of hedge instruments used to hedge the Portfolio. Milliman also adjusts hedge instruments to realign individual hedges when the Adviser rebalances the Portfolio's asset allocation profile.

Affiliated Underlying Fund Risk: The Portfolio invests in Underlying Funds that are affiliated with a Sub-Adviser. The Sub-Adviser is subject to conflicts of interest when allocating Portfolio assets among the various Underlying Funds both because the fees payable to it and/or its affiliates by some Underlying Funds are higher than the fees payable by other Underlying Funds and because the Sub-Adviser and its affiliates are also responsible for managing the Underlying Funds.

Asset Allocation Risk: The Portfolio's percentage allocations among its investments could cause the Portfolio to underperform relative to relevant benchmarks and other mutual funds with similar investment objectives.

Conflicts of Interest Risk: The Portfolio's strategy is designed to reduce the Portfolio's return volatility and manage downside exposure during periods of significant market declines but may not work as intended. The Portfolio's strategy may also reduce the risks assumed by the insurance company that sponsors your variable annuity contract. This facilitates the insurance company's ability to provide certain guaranteed benefits but may result in periods of underperformance, reduce a contract holder's ability to fully participate in rising markets and may increase transaction costs at the Portfolio and/or Underlying Fund level. Although the interests of contract holders and the insurance company are generally aligned, the insurance company (and the Adviser due to its affiliation with the insurance company) may face potential conflicts of interest. Specifically, the Portfolio's strategy may have the effect of mitigating the financial risks to the insurance company when providing certain guaranteed benefits.

Corporate Loans Risk: The value of corporate loan investments is generally less exposed to the adverse effects of shifts in market interest rates than investments that pay a fixed rate of interest. The market for corporate loans may be subject to irregular trading activity, wide bid/ask spreads and extended trade settlement periods (which may exceed seven days). As a result, the proceeds from the sale of corporate loans may not be readily available to make additional investments or to meet an Underlying Fund's redemption obligations, meaning that the Underlying Fund may have to sell other investments or take other actions if necessary to raise cash to meet its obligations.

Derivatives Risk: The use of derivatives may increase costs, reduce the Portfolio's returns and/or increase volatility. The use of derivatives may also result in leverage, which can magnify the effects of changes in the value of investments, make such investments more volatile and expose the Portfolio to losses that exceed the initial amount invested. Many types of derivatives are also subject to the risk that the other party in the transaction will not fulfill its contractual obligation. Derivatives are subject to risks arising from margin requirements. In addition, the fluctuations in the values of derivatives 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 the Portfolio to losses and could make derivatives more difficult to value accurately. Derivative investments are further subject to regulatory risks, from both U.S. and foreign regulators that may impact the availability, liquidity and costs associated with such investments and potentially limit the ability of mutual funds to invest in derivatives.

Distressed Securities Risk: Distressed securities are speculative and involve substantial risks in addition to the risks of investing in junk bonds. An Underlying Fund will generally not receive interest payments on the distressed securities and may incur costs to protect its investment. In addition, distressed securities involve the substantial risk that principal will not be repaid. In any reorganization or liquidation proceeding relating to a portfolio company, an Underlying Fund may lose its entire investment or may be required to accept cash or securities with a value less than its original investment. Distressed securities and any securities received in an exchange for such securities may be subject to restrictions on resale.

Emerging Markets Risk: Emerging markets are riskier than more developed markets because they tend to develop unevenly and may never fully develop. Investments in emerging markets may be considered speculative. Emerging markets are more likely to experience hyperinflation and currency devaluations, which adversely affect returns to U.S. investors. In addition, many emerging securities markets have far lower trading volumes and less liquidity than developed markets.

Equity Risk: Common and preferred stock prices can fall rapidly in response to developments affecting a specific company or industry, or to changing economic, political or market conditions.

ESG Investing Risk: The Portfolio may invest a portion of its assets in Underlying Funds that integrate ESG in their investment selection process and/or screen out particular companies and industries based on certain ESG related criteria. An Underlying Fund may forgo certain investment opportunities, which may affect the Portfolio's exposure to certain companies or industries. An Underlying Fund's results may be lower than other funds that do not seek to invest in companies based on ESG ratings and/or screen out certain companies or industries. An Underlying Fund may invest in companies that do not reflect the beliefs and values of any particular investor.

ETF Risk: 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. Because the value of ETF shares depends on the demand in the market, the Portfolio may not be able to liquidate its holdings at the most optimal time, adversely affecting performance.

Fixed Income Risk: The value of bonds and other fixed-income securities will fluctuate with changes in interest rates. Typically, a rise in periods of volatility and rising interest rates may lead to increased redemptions and volatility and decreased liquidity in the fixed-income markets, making it more difficult to sell fixed-income holdings. In general, the market price of debt securities with longer maturities will increase or decrease more in response to changes in interest rates than shorter-term securities. Securities issued by U.S. government agencies or government-sponsored enterprises may not be guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury. Other risk factors include credit risk (the debtor may default), prepayment risk (the debtor may pay its obligations early, reducing the amount of interest payments), extension risk (repayments may occur more slowly if interest rates rise) and income risk (distributions to shareholders may decline where interest rates fall or defaults occur). These risks could affect the value of a particular investment, possibly causing the Portfolio's share price and total return to be reduced and fluctuate more than other types of investments.

Focus Risk: To the extent that the Portfolio or an Underlying Fund focuses on particular countries, regions, industries, sectors or types of investment from time to time, the Portfolio or Underlying Fund may be subject to greater risks of adverse developments in such areas of focus than a fund that invests in a wider variety of countries, regions, industries, sectors or investments.

Foreign Currency Risk: Exposure to foreign securities denominated in non-US dollar currencies will subject the Portfolio to currency trading risks that include market risk and country risk. Market risk results from adverse changes in exchange rates. Country risk arises because a government may interfere with transactions in its currency.

Foreign Investment Risk: Foreign investing involves risks not typically associated with U.S. investments, including adverse fluctuations in foreign currency values, adverse political, social and economic developments, less liquidity, greater volatility, restrictions on capital movements, less developed or less efficient trading markets, political instability, sanctions, and differing auditing and legal standards.

Growth Stock Risk: Growth stocks may be more volatile than other stocks because they are more sensitive to investors' perceptions of the issuing company's growth potential. In addition, growth stocks typically lack the dividend yield that can cushion stock prices in market downturns. The growth investing style can also fall out of favor, which may lead the Portfolio to underperform other funds that use different investing styles.

High-Yield Debt Securities Risk: Lower-quality bonds (including loans), known as "high-yield" or "junk" bonds, and unrated securities of similar credit quality are considered speculative and involve greater risk of a complete loss of an investment, or delays of interest and principal payments, than higher-quality debt securities. Issuers of high-yield debt securities are typically not as strong financially as those issuing securities of higher credit quality. These issuers are more likely to encounter financial difficulties and are more vulnerable to changes in the relevant economy that could affect their ability to make interest and principal payments when due. The prices of high-yield debt securities generally fluctuate more than higher quality securities. High-yield debt securities are generally less liquid than higher quality securities, making them harder to sell and harder to value.

Large Cap Risk: Large cap companies may be unable to respond quickly to new competitive challenges, such as changes in technology and consumer tastes, and also may not be able to attain the high growth rate of successful smaller companies, especially during extended periods of economic expansion.

Management Risk: The Portfolio's strategies may not produce the desired results, and may result in losses to the Portfolio.

Market Risk: Overall securities market risks may affect the value of individual securities. 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. Factors such as foreign and domestic economic growth and market conditions, interest rate levels, and political events may adversely affect the securities markets. Local, regional or global events such as war, military conflict, geopolitical disputes, acts of terrorism, the spread of infectious illness or other public health issues, natural disasters, recessions, inflation, rapid interest rate changes, supply chain disruptions, tariffs and other restrictions on trade, sanctions, increased government spending, social or political unrest or other events, or the threat or potential threat of one or more such events and developments, could also have a significant impact on the Portfolio and its investments.

Mid Cap Risk: The securities of mid cap companies generally trade in lower volumes and are generally subject to greater and less predictable price changes than the securities of larger capitalization companies. Medium capitalization companies may be more vulnerable than larger, more established organizations to adverse business or economic developments.

Mortgage- and Asset-Backed Securities Risk: Mortgage- and asset-backed securities differ from conventional debt securities because principal is paid back periodically over the life of the security rather than at maturity. An investor may receive unscheduled payments of principal due to voluntary prepayments, refinancings or foreclosures on the underlying loans. To the investor this means a loss of anticipated interest, and a portion of its principal investment represented by any premium the investor may have paid. Mortgage prepayments generally increase when interest rates fall. Mortgage-backed securities also are subject to extension risk. Rising interest rates could reduce the rate of prepayments on mortgage-backed securities and extend their life. This could cause the price of the mortgage-backed securities and the Underlying Fund's share price to fall and would make the mortgage-backed securities more sensitive to interest rate changes. Issuers of asset-backed securities may have limited ability to enforce the security interest in the underlying assets, and credit enhancements provided to support the securities, if any, may be inadequate to protect investors in the event of default. Like mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities are subject to prepayment and extension risks.

Over-the-Counter Transactions Risk: The Portfolio engages in over-the-counter ("OTC") transactions, some of which trade in a dealer network, rather than on an exchange. In general, there is less governmental regulation and supervision of transactions in the OTC markets than transactions entered into on organized exchanges, with OTC transactions subject to the risk that a counterparty to the transaction will not fulfill its contractual obligations.

Short Positions Risk: Losses from short positions in derivatives contracts occur when the reference instrument increases in value. Losses from a short position in a derivatives contract could potentially be very large if the value of the underlying reference instrument rises dramatically in a short period of time, including the potential loss that exceeds the actual cost of the investment.

Small Cap Risk: Small capitalization companies may be more vulnerable than larger, more established organizations to adverse business or economic developments. In particular, small capitalization companies may have more limited product lines, markets and financial resources and may depend on a relatively small management group.

Sovereign Debt Risk: Sovereign debt instruments are subject to the risk that a governmental entity may delay or refuse to pay interest or repay principal on its sovereign debt.

Style Factors Risk: The equity style factors (i.e., momentum, quality, value, low volatility and size) that determine the weight of each component security in an underlying index have characteristics that may cause an Underlying ETF to underperform the index or the market as a whole.

Tactical Asset Allocation Risk: Tactical asset allocation is an investment strategy that actively adjusts a portfolio's asset allocation. The Portfolio's tactical asset management discipline may not work as intended. The Portfolio may not achieve its objective and may not perform as well as other funds using other asset management styles. The

Underlying Fund Risk: Underlying Funds are subject to investment advisory and other expenses, which will be indirectly paid by the Portfolio. As a result, your cost of investing in the Portfolio will be higher than the cost of investing directly in an Underlying Fund and may be higher than other mutual funds that invest directly in stocks and bonds. Because the Portfolio's investments include shares of the Underlying Funds, the Portfolio's risks include the risks of each Underlying Fund.

Value Stock Risk: Value stocks involve the risk that they may never reach what the ETF manager believes is their full market value, either because the market fails to recognize the stock's intrinsic worth or the ETF manager misgauged that worth. Because different types of stocks tend to shift in and out of favor depending on market and economic conditions, the Portfolio's performance may sometimes be lower or higher than that of other types of mutual funds.

Investment Objectives: The Portfolio seeks to provide capital appreciation and income while seeking to manage volatility.

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. The table and the example do not include any fees or sales charges imposed by your variable annuity contract. If they were included, your costs would be higher. Please refer to your variable annuity prospectus for information on the separate account fees and expenses associated with your contract.

(1)  Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses are the indirect cost of investing in other investment companies, the costs of which will not be included in the Portfolio's financial statements. The operating expenses in this fee table will not correlate to the expense ratio in the Portfolio's financial highlights because the financial statements include only the direct operating expenses incurred by the Portfolio.

Example: This 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. You would pay the same expenses if you did not redeem your shares. However, each variable annuity contract and separate account involves fees and expenses that are not included in the Example. If these fees and expenses were included in the Example, your overall expenses would be higher. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Portfolio's operating expenses remain the same (except that the Example reflects any applicable contractual fee waivers/expense reimbursement arrangements for only the first year). Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based upon these assumptions your costs would be:

Portfolio Turnover: The Portfolio pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities or instruments (or "turns over" its portfolio). These costs, which are not reflected in annual portfolio operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Portfolio's performance. A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs.

Principal Investment Strategies: The Adviser allocates a portion of the Portfolio to a capital appreciation and income component (the "Capital Appreciation and Income Component") managed by BlackRock Investment Management, LLC ("BlackRock" or a "Sub-Adviser") and a portion to a managed risk component (the "Managed Risk Component") managed by Milliman Financial Risk Management, LLC ("Milliman" or a "Sub-Adviser"). BlackRock manages the Capital Appreciation and Income Component pursuant to a "fund of funds" strategy that seeks to achieve its objective by investing in a combination of one or more mutual funds and exchange-traded funds ("ETFs") that are affiliated with BlackRock and are offered through different prospectuses (collectively, "Underlying Funds"). Milliman manages the Managed Risk Component pursuant to a strategy that seeks to manage portfolio volatility and provide downside risk management.

The Adviser seeks to achieve the Portfolio's investment objective by allocating, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of the Portfolio's net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, to the Capital Appreciation and Income Component and up to 20% of the Portfolio's net assets to the Managed Risk Component.

In managing the Capital Appreciation and Income Component, BlackRock will invest in a mix of Underlying Funds in different combinations and weightings pursuant to an asset allocation strategy determined by BlackRock. BlackRock may also invest a portion of the Capital Appreciation and Income Component in cash or cash equivalents. Under normal market conditions, BlackRock expects to allocate approximately 40-70% of the Capital Appreciation and Income Component assets to equity-based Underlying Funds, and approximately 30-60% to fixed-income-based Underlying Funds, although BlackRock may modify the target allocation from time to time.

The Underlying Funds may include funds that invest primarily in equity securities or certain other instruments described below (referred to as "equity funds"), funds that invest primarily in fixed-income securities (referred to as "fixed-income funds"), and funds that invest in a mix of securities and other instruments in which equity funds and fixed-income funds invest (referred to as "multi-asset funds"). Equity funds may include funds that invest in, among other things: domestic and international equities of any market capitalization; real estate-related securities or instruments, including real estate investment trusts ("REITs"); and commodity-related securities or instruments. Fixed-income funds may include funds that invest in a wide range of debt securities, including, among other things: debt securities of varying maturities; debt securities paying fixed or fluctuating rates of interest; debt securities convertible into equity securities; domestic and non-U.S. bonds; securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its agencies or instrumentalities, by foreign governments, international agencies or supranational entities, or by domestic or foreign private issuers; mortgage-backed securities; high yield (or junk) bonds; corporate loans; distressed securities; inflation-indexed bonds; structured notes; credit-linked notes; loan assignments and loan participations; and cash or money market instruments. Multi-asset funds may include funds that invest in any of the securities or instruments in which equity funds or fixed-income funds may invest. Investments in multi-asset funds will count toward the target allocation ranges for both equity and fixed-income funds. The portion of such investments attributable to each target allocation range will be determined based on a multi-asset fund's underlying investments in equity and fixed-income instruments. Certain Underlying Funds may also invest in commodity-related instruments or in derivative instruments, such as futures, options, forward contracts, and/or swaps.

BlackRock may allocate a significant portion of the Capital Appreciation and Income Component to a single Underlying Fund, the BlackRock Global Allocation V.I. Fund, which invests in a portfolio of equity, debt and money market securities.

The allocation to equity funds may be further diversified by style factors (including, without limitation, value and growth), market capitalization (including both large cap and small cap funds), region (including domestic and international or emerging markets funds), or other factors. The allocation to fixed-income funds may be further diversified by sector (including government, corporate, agency, mortgage-backed securities and other sectors), duration (a calculation of the average life of a bond which measures its price risk), credit quality (including non-investment grade debt or "junk bonds"), geographic location (including U.S. and foreign-issued securities), or other factors.

In the Managed Risk Component, the Adviser seeks to manage return volatility by employing Milliman to execute a managed risk strategy, which consists of using hedge instruments to reduce the downside risk of the Portfolio's securities. Milliman may use hedge instruments to accomplish this goal, which may include: equity futures contracts, treasury futures contracts, currency futures contracts, and other hedge instruments judged by Milliman to be necessary to achieve the goals of the managed risk strategy. Milliman may also buy or sell hedge instruments based on one or more market indices in an attempt to maintain the Portfolio's volatility at the targeted level in an environment in which Milliman expects market volatility to decrease or increase, respectively. Milliman selects individual hedge instruments that it believes will have prices that are highly correlated to the Portfolio's positions. Milliman adjusts hedge instruments to manage overall

Affiliated Underlying Fund Risk: The Portfolio invests in Underlying Funds that are affiliated with a Sub-Adviser. The Sub-Adviser is subject to conflicts of interest when allocating Portfolio assets among the various Underlying Funds both because the fees payable to it and/or its affiliates by some Underlying Funds are higher than the fees payable by other Underlying Funds and because the Sub-Adviser and its affiliates are also responsible for managing the Underlying Funds.

Asset Allocation Risk: The Portfolio's percentage allocations among its investments could cause the Portfolio to underperform relative to relevant benchmarks and other mutual funds with similar investment objectives.

Commodities Related Investments Risks: Exposure to the commodities markets may subject an Underlying Fund to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities. The value of futures and other commodity-linked derivative investments may be affected by changes in overall market movements, commodity index volatility, changes in interest rates, or factors affecting a particular industry or commodity.

Conflicts of Interest Risk: The Portfolio's strategy is designed to reduce the Portfolio's return volatility and manage downside exposure during periods of significant market declines but may not work as intended. The Portfolio's strategy may also reduce the risks assumed by the insurance company that sponsors your variable annuity contract. This facilitates the insurance company's ability to provide certain guaranteed benefits but may result in periods of underperformance, reduce a contract holder's ability to fully participate in rising markets and may increase transaction costs at the Portfolio and/or Underlying Fund level. Although the interests of contract holders and the insurance company are generally aligned, the insurance company (and the Adviser due to its affiliation with the insurance company) may face potential conflicts of interest. Specifically, the Portfolio's strategy may have the effect of mitigating the financial risks to the insurance company when providing certain guaranteed benefits.

Convertible Securities Risk: The market value of a convertible security is usually inversely related to the market interest rate. In addition, convertible securities are subject to the risk that the issuer will not be able to pay interest or dividends when due, and their market value may change based on changes in the issuer's credit rating or the market's perception of the issuer's creditworthiness. A convertible security is also subject to the same types of market and issuer risks that apply to the underlying common stock into which it may be converted.

Corporate Loans Risk: The value of corporate loan investments is generally less exposed to the adverse effects of shifts in market interest rates than investments that pay a fixed rate of interest. The market for corporate loans may be subject to irregular trading activity, wide bid/ask spreads and extended trade settlement periods (which may exceed seven days). As a result, the proceeds from the sale of corporate loans may not be readily available to make additional investments or to meet an Underlying Fund's redemption obligations, meaning that the Underlying Fund may have to sell other investments or take other actions if necessary to raise cash to meet its obligations.

Derivatives Risk: The use of derivatives may increase costs, reduce the Portfolio's returns and/or increase volatility. The use of derivatives may also result in leverage, which can magnify the effects of changes in the value of investments, make such investments more volatile and expose the Portfolio to losses that exceed the initial amount

Distressed Securities Risk: Distressed securities are speculative and involve substantial risks in addition to the risks of investing in junk bonds. An Underlying Fund will generally not receive interest payments on the distressed securities and may incur costs to protect its investment. In addition, distressed securities involve the substantial risk that principal will not be repaid. In any reorganization or liquidation proceeding relating to a portfolio company, an Underlying Fund may lose its entire investment or may be required to accept cash or securities with a value less than its original investment. Distressed securities and any securities received in an exchange for such securities may be subject to restrictions on resale.

Emerging Markets Risk: Emerging markets are riskier than more developed markets because they tend to develop unevenly and may never fully develop. Investments in emerging markets may be considered speculative. Emerging markets are more likely to experience hyperinflation and currency devaluations, which adversely affect returns to U.S. investors. In addition, many emerging securities markets have far lower trading volumes and less liquidity than developed markets.

Equity Risk: Common and preferred stock prices can fall rapidly in response to developments affecting a specific company or industry, or to changing economic, political or market conditions.

ETF Risk: 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. Because the value of ETF shares depends on the demand in the market, the Portfolio may not be able to liquidate its holdings at the most optimal time, adversely affecting performance.

Fixed Income Risk: The value of bonds and other fixed-income securities will fluctuate with changes in interest rates. Typically, a rise in periods of volatility and rising interest rates may lead to increased redemptions and volatility and decreased liquidity in the fixed-income markets, making it more difficult to sell fixed-income holdings. In general, the market price of debt securities with longer maturities will increase or decrease more in response to changes in interest rates than shorter-term securities. Securities issued by U.S. government agencies or government-sponsored enterprises may not be guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury. Other risk factors include credit risk (the debtor may default), prepayment risk (the debtor may pay its obligations early, reducing the amount of interest payments), extension risk (repayments may occur more slowly if interest rates rise) and income risk (distributions to shareholders may decline where interest rates fall or defaults occur). These risks could affect the value of a particular investment, possibly causing the Portfolio's share price and total return to be reduced and fluctuate more than other types of investments.

Focus Risk: To the extent that the Portfolio or an Underlying Fund focuses on particular countries, regions, industries, sectors or types of investment from time to time, the Portfolio or Underlying Fund may be subject to greater risks of adverse developments in such areas of focus than a fund that invests in a wider variety of countries, regions, industries, sectors or investments.

Foreign Currency Risk: Exposure to foreign securities denominated in non-US dollar currencies will subject the Portfolio to currency trading risks that include market risk and country risk. Market risk results from adverse changes in exchange rates. Country risk arises because a government may interfere with transactions in its currency.

Foreign Investment Risk: Foreign investing involves risks not typically associated with U.S. investments, including adverse fluctuations in foreign currency values, adverse political, social and economic developments, less liquidity, greater volatility, restrictions on capital movements, less developed or less efficient trading markets, political instability, sanctions, and differing auditing and legal standards.

High-Yield Debt Securities Risk: Lower-quality bonds (including loans), known as "high-yield" or "junk" bonds, and unrated securities of similar credit quality are considered speculative and involve greater risk of a complete loss of an investment, or delays of interest and principal payments, than higher-quality debt securities. Issuers of high-yield debt securities are typically not as strong financially as those issuing securities of higher credit quality. These issuers are more likely to encounter financial difficulties and are more vulnerable to changes in the relevant economy that could affect their ability to make interest and principal payments when due. The prices of high-yield debt securities generally fluctuate more than higher quality securities. High-yield debt securities are generally less liquid than higher quality securities, making them harder to sell and harder to value.

Large Cap Risk: Large cap companies may be unable to respond quickly to new competitive challenges, such as changes in technology and consumer tastes, and also may not be able to attain the high growth rate of successful smaller companies, especially during extended periods of economic expansion.

Management Risk: The Portfolio's strategies may not produce the desired results, and may result in losses to the Portfolio.

Market Risk: Overall securities market risks may affect the value of individual securities. 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. Factors such as foreign and domestic economic growth and market conditions, interest rate levels, and political events may adversely affect the securities markets. Local, regional or global events such as war, military conflict, geopolitical disputes, acts of terrorism, the spread of infectious illness or other public health issues, natural disasters, recessions, inflation, rapid interest rate changes, supply chain disruptions, tariffs and other restrictions on trade, sanctions, increased government spending, social or political unrest or other events, or the threat or potential threat of one or more such events and developments, could also have a significant impact on the Portfolio and its investments.

Mid Cap Risk: The securities of mid cap companies generally trade in lower volumes and are generally subject to greater and less predictable price changes than the securities of larger capitalization companies. Medium capitalization companies may be more vulnerable than larger, more established organizations to adverse business or economic developments.

Mortgage- and Asset-Backed Securities Risk: Mortgage- and asset-backed securities differ from conventional debt securities because principal is paid back periodically over the life of the security rather than at maturity. An investor may receive unscheduled payments of principal due to voluntary prepayments, refinancings or foreclosures on the underlying loans. To the investor this means a loss of anticipated interest, and a portion of its principal investment represented by any premium the investor may have paid. Mortgage prepayments generally increase when interest rates fall. Mortgage-backed securities also are subject to extension risk. Rising interest rates could reduce the rate of prepayments on mortgage-backed securities and extend their life. This could cause the price of the mortgage-backed securities and the Underlying Fund's share price to fall and would make the mortgage-backed securities more sensitive to interest rate changes. Issuers of asset-backed securities may have limited ability to enforce the security interest in the underlying assets, and credit enhancements provided to support the securities, if any, may be inadequate to protect investors in the event of default. Like mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities are subject to prepayment and extension risks.

Over-the-Counter Transactions Risk: The Portfolio engages in over-the-counter ("OTC") transactions, some of which trade in a dealer network, rather than on an exchange. In general, there is less governmental regulation and supervision of transactions in the OTC markets than transactions entered into on organized exchanges, with OTC transactions subject to the risk that a counterparty to the transaction will not fulfill its contractual obligations.

Real Estate Related Securities Risk: The main risk of real estate related securities is that the value of the underlying real estate may go down. Many factors may affect real estate values. These factors include both the general and local economies, the amount of new construction in a particular area, the laws and regulations (including zoning, and tax laws) affecting real estate and the costs of owning, maintaining and improving real estate. The availability of mortgages and changes in interest rates may also affect real estate values.

REIT Investment Risk: Investments in REITs involve unique risks. REITs may have limited financial resources, may trade less frequently and in limited volume and may be more volatile than other securities.

Short Positions Risk: Losses from short positions in derivatives contracts occur when the reference instrument increases in value. Losses from a short position in a derivatives contract could potentially be very large if the value of the underlying reference instrument rises dramatically in a short period of time, including the potential loss that exceeds the actual cost of the investment.

Small Cap Risk: Small capitalization companies may be more vulnerable than larger, more established organizations to adverse business or economic developments. In particular, small capitalization companies may have more limited product lines, markets and financial resources and may depend on a relatively small management group.

Sovereign Debt Risk: Sovereign debt instruments are subject to the risk that a governmental entity may delay or refuse to pay interest or repay principal on its sovereign debt.

Structured Notes Risk: Structured notes and other related instruments purchased by the Portfolio are generally privately negotiated debt obligations where the principal and/or interest is determined by reference to the performance of a specific asset, benchmark asset, market or interest rate ("reference measure"). The purchase of structured notes exposes the Portfolio to the credit risk of the issuer of the structured product. Structured notes may be leveraged, increasing the volatility of each structured note's value relative to the change in the reference measure. Structured notes may also be less liquid and more difficult to price accurately than less complex securities and instruments or more traditional debt securities.

Underlying Fund Risk: Underlying Funds are subject to investment advisory and other expenses, which will be indirectly paid by the Portfolio. As a result, your cost of investing in the Portfolio will be higher than the cost of investing directly in an Underlying Fund and may be higher than other mutual funds that invest directly in stocks and bonds. Because the Portfolio's investments include shares of the Underlying Funds, the Portfolio's risks include the risks of each Underlying Fund.

Investment Objectives: The Portfolio seeks to provide capital appreciation and income while seeking to manage volatility.

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. The table and the example do not include any fees or sales charges imposed by your variable annuity contract. If they were included, your costs would be higher. Please refer to your variable annuity prospectus for information on the separate account fees and expenses associated with your contract.

(1)  Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses are the indirect cost of investing in other investment companies, the costs of which will not be included in the Portfolio's financial statements. The operating expenses in this fee table will not correlate to the expense ratio in the Portfolio's financial highlights because the financial statements include only the direct operating expenses incurred by the Portfolio.

(2)  The Portfolio's investment adviser, Global Atlantic Investment Advisors, LLC, (the "Adviser"), has contractually agreed to waive its fees and to reimburse expenses, at least until May 1, 2026, 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 1.19% of average daily net assets attributable to the Portfolio's shares. 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, after giving effect to the recoupment amount, can be achieved within the lesser of the expense limits listed above and any expense limits applicable at the time of recoupment. The agreement may be terminated only by the Portfolio's Board of Trustees, on 60 days' written notice to the Adviser.

Example: This 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. You would pay the same expenses if you did not redeem your shares. However, each variable annuity contract and separate account involves fees and expenses that are not included in the Example. If these fees and expenses were included in the Example, your overall expenses would be higher. The Example also

Principal Investment Strategies: The Adviser allocates a portion of the Portfolio to a capital appreciation and income component (the "Capital Appreciation and Income Component") managed by Franklin Advisers, Inc. ("Franklin Advisers" or a "Sub-Adviser") and a portion to a managed risk component (the "Managed Risk Component"). The Capital Appreciation and Income Component is further sub-divided into equity and fixed-income sleeves, both of which are managed by Franklin Advisers. Milliman Financial Risk Management, LLC ("Milliman" or a "Sub-Adviser") manages the Managed Risk Component pursuant to a strategy that seeks to manage portfolio volatility and provide downside risk management.

The Adviser seeks to achieve the Portfolio's investment objective by allocating, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of the Portfolio's net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, to the Capital Appreciation and Income Component and up to 20% of the Portfolio's net assets to the Managed Risk Component. The Adviser expects to further allocate approximately 75% of the Portfolio's Capital Appreciation and Income Component to the equity sleeve and approximately 25% to the fixed-income sleeve. The Adviser may modify the target allocations from time to time.

Franklin Advisers manages the equity sleeve of the Portfolio pursuant to a rising dividends strategy which seeks to invest in equity securities, primarily common stock, that have paid consistently rising dividends. Companies that have paid consistently rising dividends include those companies that currently pay dividends on their common stock and have maintained or increased their dividend rate during the last four consecutive years.

Under normal market conditions, pursuant to the rising dividends strategy, the equity sleeve will seek to invest at least 65% of its net assets in securities of companies that have:

•  consistently increased dividends in at least 8 out of the last 10 years and have not decreased dividends during that time;

•  increased dividends substantially (at least 100%) over the last 10 years;

•  reinvested earnings, paying out less than 65% of current earnings in dividends (except for utility companies); and

•  either long-term debt that is no more than 50% of total capitalization (except for utility companies) or senior debt that has been rated investment grade by at least one of the major bond rating organizations.

For the rising dividends strategy, Franklin Advisers typically seeks to invest the rest of the equity sleeve's net assets in equity securities of companies that pay dividends but do not meet all of the above criteria. Through its equity sleeve, the Portfolio may invest in companies of any size, across the entire market spectrum including smaller and midsize companies. Although Franklin Advisers will generally seek to invest the Portfolio's equity sleeve across all sectors, from time to time, based on economic conditions, the sleeve may have significant positions in particular sectors. Franklin Advisers may invest up to 25% of the equity sleeve's net assets in foreign securities (which may include the purchase of depositary receipts) and 5% of its net assets in exchange traded funds (ETFs). The equity sleeve may enter into repurchase agreements.

In its investing following the rising dividends strategy, Franklin Advisers takes a research driven, fundamental, "bottom-up" approach that focuses primarily on individual securities. Franklin Advisers looks for companies for the rising dividends

Asset Allocation Risk: The Portfolio's percentage allocations among its investments could cause the Portfolio to underperform relative to relevant benchmarks and other mutual funds with similar investment objectives.

Collateralized Debt Obligations Risk: The risks of an investment in a collateralized debt obligation, such as a collateralized bond obligation ("CBO") or a collateralized loan obligation ("CLO"), depend largely on the type of the collateral securities and the class of the debt obligation in which the Portfolio invests. CBOs and CLOs are generally subject to credit, interest rate, valuation, prepayment and extension risks. CBOs and CLOs carry additional risks including, but not limited to: (i) the possibility that distributions from collateral securities will not be adequate to make interest or other payments; (ii) the quality of the collateral may decline in value or default; (iii) the risk that the Portfolio may invest in CBOs or CLOs that are subordinate to other classes; and (iv) the complex structure of the security may not be fully understood at the time of investment and may produce disputes with the issuer or unexpected investment results.

Conflicts of Interest Risk: The Portfolio's strategy is designed to reduce the Portfolio's return volatility and manage downside exposure during periods of significant market declines but may not work as intended. The Portfolio's strategy may also reduce the risks assumed by the insurance company that sponsors your variable annuity contract. This facilitates the insurance company's ability to provide certain guaranteed benefits but may result in periods of underperformance, reduce a contract holder's ability to fully participate in rising markets and may increase transaction costs at the Portfolio and/or Underlying Fund level. Although the interests of contract holders and the insurance company are generally aligned, the insurance company (and the Adviser due to its affiliation with the insurance company) may face potential conflicts of interest. Specifically, the Portfolio's strategy may have the effect of mitigating the financial risks to the insurance company when providing certain guaranteed benefits.

Corporate Loans Risk: The value of corporate loan investments is generally less exposed to the adverse effects of shifts in market interest rates than investments that pay a fixed rate of interest. The market for corporate loans

Currency Management Strategies Risk: Currency management strategies may substantially change the Portfolio's exposure to currency exchange rates and could result in losses to the Portfolio if currencies do not perform as the Adviser or Sub-Adviser expects. In addition, currency management strategies, to the extent that they reduce the Portfolio's exposure to currency risks, may also reduce the Portfolio's ability to benefit from favorable changes in currency exchange rates. Using currency management strategies for purposes other than hedging further increases the Portfolio's exposure to foreign investment losses. Currency markets generally are not as regulated as securities markets. In addition, currency rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time, and can reduce returns.

Depositary Receipts Risk: American Depositary Receipts are receipts typically issued by an American bank or trust company that evidence underlying securities issued by a foreign corporation. The Portfolio may invest in unsponsored Depositary Receipts. Depositary Receipts are generally subject to the same risks as the foreign securities that they evidence or into which they may be converted, including changes in political or economic conditions of other countries and changes in the exchange rates of foreign currencies.

Derivatives Risk: The use of derivatives may increase costs, reduce the Portfolio's returns and/or increase volatility. The use of derivatives may also result in leverage, which can magnify the effects of changes in the value of investments, make such investments more volatile and expose the Portfolio to losses that exceed the initial amount invested. Many types of derivatives are also subject to the risk that the other party in the transaction will not fulfill its contractual obligation. Derivatives are subject to risks arising from margin requirements. In addition, the fluctuations in the values of derivatives 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 the Portfolio to losses and could make derivatives more difficult to value accurately. Derivative investments are further subject to regulatory risks, from both U.S. and foreign regulators that may impact the availability, liquidity and costs associated with such investments and potentially limit the ability of mutual funds to invest in derivatives.

Dividend-Oriented Companies Risk: Investments in companies that have historically paid regular dividends to shareholders may decrease or eliminate dividend payments in the future. A decrease in dividend payments by an issuer may result in a decrease in the value of the issuer's stock and less available income for the Portfolio.

Emerging Markets Risk: Emerging markets are riskier than more developed markets because they tend to develop unevenly and may never fully develop. Investments in emerging markets may be considered speculative. Emerging markets are more likely to experience hyperinflation and currency devaluations, which adversely affect returns to U.S. investors. In addition, many emerging securities markets have far lower trading volumes and less liquidity than developed markets.

Equity Risk: Common and preferred stock prices can fall rapidly in response to developments affecting a specific company or industry, or to changing economic, political or market conditions.

ETF Risk: 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. Because the value of ETF shares depends on the demand in the market, the Portfolio may not be able to liquidate its holdings at the most optimal time, adversely affecting performance.

Fixed Income Risk: The value of bonds and other fixed-income securities will fluctuate with changes in interest rates. Typically, a rise in periods of volatility and rising interest rates may lead to increased redemptions and volatility and decreased liquidity in the fixed-income markets, making it more difficult to sell fixed-income holdings. In general, the market price of debt securities with longer maturities will increase or decrease more in response to changes in interest rates than shorter-term securities. Securities issued by U.S. government agencies or government-sponsored enterprises may not be guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury. Other risk factors include credit risk (the debtor may default),

Floating Rate Corporate Investments Risk: Floating rate corporate loans and corporate debt securities, such as floating rate bank loans and CLOs, generally have credit ratings below investment grade and may be subject to resale restrictions. They are often issued in connection with highly leveraged transactions, and may be subject to greater credit risks than other investments including the possibility of default or bankruptcy. In addition, a secondary market in corporate loans may be subject to irregular trading activity, wide bid/ask spreads and extended trade settlement periods, which may impair the ability to accurately value existing and prospective investments and to realize in a timely fashion the full value on sale of a corporate loan. A significant portion of floating rate investments may be "covenant lite" loans that may contain fewer or less restrictive constraints on the borrower or other borrower-friendly characteristics.

Focus Risk: To the extent that the Portfolio focuses on particular countries, regions, industries, sectors or types of investment from time to time, the Portfolio may be subject to greater risks of adverse developments in such areas of focus than a fund that invests in a wider variety of countries, regions, industries, sectors or investments.

Foreign Currency Risk: Exposure to foreign securities denominated in non-US dollar currencies will subject the Portfolio to currency trading risks that include market risk and country risk. Market risk results from adverse changes in exchange rates. Country risk arises because a government may interfere with transactions in its currency.

Foreign Investment Risk: Foreign investing involves risks not typically associated with U.S. investments, including adverse fluctuations in foreign currency values, adverse political, social and economic developments, less liquidity, greater volatility, restrictions on capital movements, less developed or less efficient trading markets, political instability, sanctions, and differing auditing and legal standards.

Growth Stock Risk: Growth stocks may be more volatile than other stocks because they are more sensitive to investors' perceptions of the issuing company's growth potential. In addition, growth stocks typically lack the dividend yield that can cushion stock prices in market downturns. The growth investing style can also fall out of favor, which may lead the Portfolio to underperform other funds that use different investing styles.

High-Yield Debt Securities Risk: Lower-quality bonds (including loans), known as "high-yield" or "junk" bonds, and unrated securities of similar credit quality are considered speculative and involve greater risk of a complete loss of an investment, or delays of interest and principal payments, than higher-quality debt securities. Issuers of high-yield debt securities are typically not as strong financially as those issuing securities of higher credit quality. These issuers are more likely to encounter financial difficulties and are more vulnerable to changes in the relevant economy that could affect their ability to make interest and principal payments when due. The prices of high-yield debt securities generally fluctuate more than higher quality securities. High-yield debt securities are generally less liquid than higher quality securities, making them harder to sell and harder to value.

Large Cap Risk: Large cap companies may be unable to respond quickly to new competitive challenges, such as changes in technology and consumer tastes, and also may not be able to attain the high growth rate of successful smaller companies, especially during extended periods of economic expansion.

Liquidity Risk: Illiquid investments may be more difficult to value. Liquidity risk may also refer to the risk that the Portfolio will not be able to pay redemption proceeds within the allowable time period or without significant dilution to remaining investors' interests, which may force the Portfolio to sell securities at an unfavorable time and/or under unfavorable conditions. Large redemptions by shareholders may have a negative impact on the Portfolio's liquidity.

Management Risk: The Portfolio's strategies may not produce the desired results, and may result in losses to the Portfolio.

Market Risk: Overall securities market risks may affect the value of individual securities. 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. Factors such as foreign and domestic economic growth and market conditions, interest rate levels, and political events may adversely affect the securities markets. Local, regional or global events such as war, military conflict, geopolitical disputes, acts of terrorism, the spread of infectious illness

Mid Cap Risk: The securities of mid cap companies generally trade in lower volumes and are generally subject to greater and less predictable price changes than the securities of larger capitalization companies. Medium capitalization companies may be more vulnerable than larger, more established organizations to adverse business or economic developments.

Mortgage- and Asset-Backed Securities Risk: Mortgage- and asset-backed securities differ from conventional debt securities because principal is paid back periodically over the life of the security rather than at maturity. An investor may receive unscheduled payments of principal due to voluntary prepayments, refinancings or foreclosures on the underlying loans. To the investor this means a loss of anticipated interest, and a portion of its principal investment represented by any premium the investor may have paid. Mortgage prepayments generally increase when interest rates fall. Mortgage-backed securities also are subject to extension risk. Rising interest rates could reduce the rate of prepayments on mortgage-backed securities and extend their life. This could cause the price of the mortgage-backed securities and the Portfolio's share price to fall and would make the mortgage-backed securities more sensitive to interest rate changes. Issuers of asset-backed securities may have limited ability to enforce the security interest in the underlying assets, and credit enhancements provided to support the securities, if any, may be inadequate to protect investors in the event of default. Like mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities are subject to prepayment and extension risks.

Mortgage Dollar Rolls Risk: In a mortgage dollar roll, the Portfolio takes the risk that: the market price of the mortgage-backed securities will drop below their future purchase price; the securities that it repurchases at a later date will have less favorable market characteristics; the other party to the agreement will not be able to perform; the roll adds leverage to the portfolio; and, it increases the Portfolio's sensitivity to interest rate changes. In addition, investment in mortgage dollar rolls may increase the turnover rate for the Portfolio.

Over-the-Counter Transactions Risk: The Portfolio engages in over-the-counter ("OTC") transactions, some of which trade in a dealer network, rather than on an exchange. In general, there is less governmental regulation and supervision of transactions in the OTC markets than transactions entered into on organized exchanges, with OTC transactions subject to the risk that a counterparty to the transaction will not fulfill its contractual obligations.

Real Estate Related Securities Risk: The main risk of real estate related securities is that the value of the underlying real estate may go down. Many factors may affect real estate values. These factors include both the general and local economies, the amount of new construction in a particular area, the laws and regulations (including zoning, and tax laws) affecting real estate and the costs of owning, maintaining and improving real estate. The availability of mortgages and changes in interest rates may also affect real estate values.

Short Positions Risk: Losses from short positions in derivatives contracts occur when the reference instrument increases in value. Losses from a short position in a derivatives contract could potentially be very large if the value of the underlying reference instrument rises dramatically in a short period of time, including the potential loss that exceeds the actual cost of the investment.

Small Cap Risk: Small capitalization companies may be more vulnerable than larger, more established organizations to adverse business or economic developments. In particular, small capitalization companies may have more limited product lines, markets and financial resources and may depend on a relatively small management group.

Sovereign Debt Risk: Sovereign debt instruments are subject to the risk that a governmental entity may delay or refuse to pay interest or repay principal on its sovereign debt.

To Be Announced ("TBA") Securities Risk: TBA securities are standardized contracts for future delivery of fixed-rate mortgage pass-through securities in which the exact mortgage pools to be delivered are not specified until shortly before settlement. TBA securities include when-issued and delayed delivery securities and forward commitments. TBA securities involve the risk that the security the Portfolio buys will lose value prior to its delivery. There also is the risk that the security will not be issued or that the other party to the transaction will not meet its obligation.

Underlying Fund Risk: Underlying Funds are subject to investment advisory and other expenses, which will be indirectly paid by the Portfolio. As a result, your cost of investing in the Portfolio will be higher than the cost of investing directly in an Underlying Fund and may be higher than other mutual funds that invest directly in stocks and bonds. Because the Portfolio's investments include shares of the Underlying Funds, the Portfolio's risks include the risks of each Underlying Fund.

Unrated Debt Securities Risk: Unrated debt securities determined to be of comparable credit quality to rated securities which the Portfolio may purchase may pay a higher interest rate than such rated debt securities and be subject to a greater risk of illiquidity or price changes. Less public information and independent credit analysis are typically available about unrated securities or issuers, and therefore they may be subject to greater risk of default.

U.S. Government Securities Risk: The U.S. government may not provide financial support to U.S. government agencies, instrumentalities or sponsored enterprises if it is not obligated to do so by law. It is possible that issuers of U.S. government securities will not have the funds to meet their payment obligations in the future.

Value Stock Risk: Value stocks involve the risk that they may never reach what the Sub-Adviser believes is their full market value, either because the market fails to recognize the stock's intrinsic worth or the Sub-Adviser misgauged that worth. Because different types of stocks tend to shift in and out of favor depending on market and economic conditions, the Portfolio's performance may sometimes be lower or higher than that of other types of mutual funds.

Variable Rate Securities Risk: Because changes in interest rates on variable rate securities (including floating rate securities) may lag behind changes in market rates, the value of such securities may decline during periods of rising interest rates until their interest rates reset to market rates. During periods of declining interest rates, because the interest rates on variable rate securities generally reset downward, their market value is unlikely to rise to the same extent as the value of comparable fixed rate securities.

Investment Objectives: The Portfolio seeks to provide capital appreciation and income while seeking to manage volatility.

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. The table and the example do not include any fees or sales charges imposed by your variable annuity contract. If they were included, your costs would be higher. Please refer to your variable annuity prospectus for information on the separate account fees and expenses associated with your contract.

(1)  Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses are the indirect cost of investing in other investment companies, the costs of which will not be included in the Portfolio's financial statements. The operating expenses in this fee table will not correlate to the expense ratio in the Portfolio's financial highlights because the financial statements include only the direct operating expenses incurred by the Portfolio.

Example: This 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. You would pay the same expenses if you did not redeem your shares. However, each variable annuity contract and separate account involves fees and expenses that are not included in the Example. If these fees and expenses were included in the Example, your overall expenses would be higher. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Portfolio's operating expenses remain the same (except that the Example reflects any applicable contractual fee waivers/expense reimbursement arrangements for only the first year). Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based upon these assumptions your costs would be:

Portfolio Turnover: The Portfolio pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities or instruments (or "turns over" its portfolio). These costs, which are not reflected in annual portfolio operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Portfolio's performance. A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs.

Principal Investment Strategies: The Adviser allocates a portion of the Portfolio to a capital appreciation and income component (the "Capital Appreciation and Income Component") managed by BlackRock Investment Management, LLC ("BlackRock" or a "Sub-Adviser") and a portion to a managed risk component (the "Managed Risk Component") managed by Milliman Financial Risk Management LLC ("Milliman" or a "Sub-Adviser"). BlackRock manages the Capital Appreciation and Income Component pursuant to a strategy that seeks to invest in a combination of iShares Exchange Traded Funds ("ETFs") that are affiliated with BlackRock and are offered through different prospectuses. The Portfolio intends its strategy of providing exposure to a combination of ETFs to result in investment diversification that an investor could otherwise achieve only by holding numerous individual investments. Milliman manages the Managed Risk Component pursuant to a strategy that seeks to manage portfolio volatility and provide downside risk management.

The Adviser seeks to achieve the Portfolio's investment objective by allocating, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of the Portfolio's net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, to the Capital Appreciation and Income Component and up to 20% of the Portfolio's net assets to the Managed Risk Component. BlackRock expects to further allocate approximately 65% of the Capital Appreciation and Income Component assets to equity-based ETFs, and approximately 35% to fixed-income-based ETFs, although BlackRock may modify the target allocation from time to time. The Portfolio incorporates a global tactical asset allocation strategy that, under normal circumstances, seeks to adjust allocations to asset classes that BlackRock deems to be attractive investments over the short to intermediate term. This strategy seeks to enhance the total return and manages portfolio risk at the aggregate level. Modifications in the allocations to the ETFs are based on techniques that may include technical, qualitative, quantitative and momentum analysis of the market. The mix of ETFs will vary with market conditions and BlackRock's assessment of the ETFs' relative attractiveness as investment opportunities.

The ETFs' investments will focus on investments in securities listed on domestic and foreign equity exchanges with growth and value styles, including, small-, mid- and large-cap issuers, and on investments in domestic and foreign fixed-income instruments including U.S. treasuries, mortgage- and asset-backed securities, corporate loans, distressed securities, inflation-indexed instruments, corporate bonds, sovereign and emerging market debt. An ETF may invest a large percentage of its assets in indices located in a single country, a small number of countries, or a particular geographic region. As a result of its exposure to the ETFs, the Portfolio indirectly provides exposure principally to U.S. and non-U.S. equity and fixed-income securities and derivatives. In addition, the ETFs may invest in debt assets in lower quality debt securities (rated Ba1 or below and BB+ or below by Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organizations designated by the ETFs' adviser or unrated but determined to be of equivalent quality by the ETFs' adviser). Such securities are sometimes referred to as "junk bonds." An ETF may integrate environmental, social and governance ("ESG") factors into its investment selection process and/or screen out particular companies and industries based on certain ESG related criteria. An ETF may also seek to deliver exposure to certain style factors (i.e., quality, value, momentum, size, minimum volatility).

In the Managed Risk Component, the Adviser seeks to manage return volatility by employing Milliman to execute a managed risk strategy, which consists of using hedge instruments to reduce the downside risk of the Portfolio's securities. Milliman may use hedge instruments to accomplish this goal, which may include: equity futures contracts, treasury futures contracts, currency futures contracts, and other hedge instruments judged by Milliman to be necessary to achieve the goals of the managed risk strategy. Milliman may also buy or sell hedge instruments based on one or more market indices in an attempt to maintain the Portfolio's volatility at the targeted level in an environment in which Milliman expects market volatility to decrease or increase, respectively. Milliman selects individual hedge instruments that it believes will have prices that are highly correlated to the Portfolio's positions. Milliman adjusts hedge instruments to manage overall net Portfolio risk exposure, in an attempt to stabilize the volatility of the Portfolio around a predetermined target level and reduce the potential for portfolio losses during periods of significant and sustained market decline. Milliman seeks to monitor and forecast volatility in the markets using a proprietary model, and adjust the Portfolio's hedge instruments accordingly. In addition, Milliman will monitor liquidity levels of relevant hedge instruments and transparency provided by exchanges or counterparties in hedging transactions. Milliman adjusts futures positions to manage overall net Portfolio risk exposure. Milliman may, during periods of rising security prices, implement strategies to preserve gains on the Portfolio's positions. Milliman may, during periods of falling security prices, implement additional strategies to reduce losses in adverse market conditions. In these situations, Milliman's activity could significantly reduce the Portfolio's net economic exposure to equity securities. Following market declines, a downside rebalancing strategy will be used to decrease the amount of hedge instruments used to hedge the Portfolio. Milliman also adjusts hedge instruments to realign individual hedges when the Adviser rebalances the Portfolio's asset allocation profile.

Affiliated Underlying Fund Risk: The Portfolio invests in Underlying Funds that are affiliated with a Sub-Adviser. The Sub-Adviser is subject to conflicts of interest when allocating Portfolio assets among the various Underlying Funds both because the fees payable to it and/or its affiliates by some Underlying Funds are higher than the fees payable by other Underlying Funds and because the Sub-Adviser and its affiliates are also responsible for managing the Underlying Funds.

Asset Allocation Risk: The Portfolio's percentage allocations among its investments could cause the Portfolio to underperform relative to relevant benchmarks and other mutual funds with similar investment objectives.

Conflicts of Interest Risk: The Portfolio's strategy is designed to reduce the Portfolio's return volatility and manage downside exposure during periods of significant market declines but may not work as intended. The Portfolio's strategy may also reduce the risks assumed by the insurance company that sponsors your variable annuity contract. This facilitates the insurance company's ability to provide certain guaranteed benefits but may result in periods of underperformance, reduce a contract holder's ability to fully participate in rising markets and may increase transaction costs at the Portfolio and/or Underlying Fund level. Although the interests of contract holders and the insurance company are generally aligned, the insurance company (and the Adviser due to its affiliation with the insurance company) may face potential conflicts of interest. Specifically, the Portfolio's strategy may have the effect of mitigating the financial risks to the insurance company when providing certain guaranteed benefits.

Corporate Loans Risk: The value of corporate loan investments is generally less exposed to the adverse effects of shifts in market interest rates than investments that pay a fixed rate of interest. The market for corporate loans may be subject to irregular trading activity, wide bid/ask spreads and extended trade settlement periods (which may exceed seven days). As a result, the proceeds from the sale of corporate loans may not be readily available to make additional investments or to meet an Underlying Fund's redemption obligations, meaning that the Underlying Fund may have to sell other investments or take other actions if necessary to raise cash to meet its obligations.

Derivatives Risk: The use of derivatives may increase costs, reduce the Portfolio's returns and/or increase volatility. The use of derivatives may also result in leverage, which can magnify the effects of changes in the value of investments, make such investments more volatile and expose the Portfolio to losses that exceed the initial amount invested. Many types of derivatives are also subject to the risk that the other party in the transaction will not fulfill its contractual obligation. Derivatives are subject to risks arising from margin requirements. In addition, the fluctuations in the values of derivatives 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 the Portfolio to losses and could make derivatives more difficult to value accurately. Derivative investments are further subject to regulatory risks, from both U.S. and foreign regulators that may impact the availability, liquidity and costs associated with such investments and potentially limit the ability of mutual funds to invest in derivatives.

Distressed Securities Risk: Distressed securities are speculative and involve substantial risks in addition to the risks of investing in junk bonds. An Underlying Fund will generally not receive interest payments on the distressed securities and may incur costs to protect its investment. In addition, distressed securities involve the substantial risk that principal will not be repaid. In any reorganization or liquidation proceeding relating to a portfolio company, an Underlying Fund may lose its entire investment or may be required to accept cash or securities with a value less than its original investment. Distressed securities and any securities received in an exchange for such securities may be subject to restrictions on resale.

Emerging Markets Risk: Emerging markets are riskier than more developed markets because they tend to develop unevenly and may never fully develop. Investments in emerging markets may be considered speculative. Emerging markets are more likely to experience hyperinflation and currency devaluations, which adversely affect returns to U.S. investors. In addition, many emerging securities markets have far lower trading volumes and less liquidity than developed markets.

Equity Risk: Common and preferred stock prices can fall rapidly in response to developments affecting a specific company or industry, or to changing economic, political or market conditions.

ESG Investing Risk: The Portfolio may invest a portion of its assets in Underlying Funds that integrate ESG in their investment selection process and/or screen out particular companies and industries based on certain ESG related criteria. An Underlying Fund may forgo certain investment opportunities, which may affect the Portfolio's exposure to certain companies or industries. An Underlying Fund's results may be lower than other funds that do not seek to invest in companies based on ESG ratings and/or screen out certain companies or industries. An Underlying Fund may invest in companies that do not reflect the beliefs and values of any particular investor.

ETF Risk: 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. Because the value of ETF shares depends on the demand in the market, the Portfolio may not be able to liquidate its holdings at the most optimal time, adversely affecting performance.

Fixed Income Risk: The value of bonds and other fixed-income securities will fluctuate with changes in interest rates. Typically, a rise in periods of volatility and rising interest rates may lead to increased redemptions and volatility and decreased liquidity in the fixed-income markets, making it more difficult to sell fixed-income holdings. In general, the market price of debt securities with longer maturities will increase or decrease more in response to changes in interest rates than shorter-term securities. Securities issued by U.S. government agencies or government-sponsored enterprises may not be guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury. Other risk factors include credit risk (the debtor may default), prepayment risk (the debtor may pay its obligations early, reducing the amount of interest payments), extension risk (repayments may occur more slowly if interest rates rise) and income risk (distributions to shareholders may decline where interest rates fall or defaults occur). These risks could affect the value of a particular investment, possibly causing the Portfolio's share price and total return to be reduced and fluctuate more than other types of investments.

Focus Risk: To the extent that the Portfolio or an Underlying Fund focuses on particular countries, regions, industries, sectors or types of investment from time to time, the Portfolio or Underlying Fund may be subject to greater risks of adverse developments in such areas of focus than a fund that invests in a wider variety of countries, regions, industries, sectors or investments.

Foreign Currency Risk: Exposure to foreign securities denominated in non-US dollar currencies will subject the Portfolio to currency trading risks that include market risk and country risk. Market risk results from adverse changes in exchange rates. Country risk arises because a government may interfere with transactions in its currency.

Foreign Investment Risk: Foreign investing involves risks not typically associated with U.S. investments, including adverse fluctuations in foreign currency values, adverse political, social and economic developments, less liquidity, greater volatility, restrictions on capital movements, less developed or less efficient trading markets, political instability, sanctions, and differing auditing and legal standards.

Growth Stock Risk: Growth stocks may be more volatile than other stocks because they are more sensitive to investors' perceptions of the issuing company's growth potential. In addition, growth stocks typically lack the dividend yield that can cushion stock prices in market downturns. The growth investing style can also fall out of favor, which may lead the Portfolio to underperform other funds that use different investing styles.

High-Yield Debt Securities Risk: Lower-quality bonds (including loans), known as "high-yield" or "junk" bonds, and unrated securities of similar credit quality are considered speculative and involve greater risk of a complete loss of an investment, or delays of interest and principal payments, than higher-quality debt securities. Issuers of high-yield debt securities are typically not as strong financially as those issuing securities of higher credit quality. These issuers are more likely to encounter financial difficulties and are more vulnerable to changes in the relevant economy that could affect their ability to make interest and principal payments when due. The prices of high-yield debt securities generally fluctuate more than higher quality securities. High-yield debt securities are generally less liquid than higher quality securities, making them harder to sell and harder to value.

Large Cap Risk: Large cap companies may be unable to respond quickly to new competitive challenges, such as changes in technology and consumer tastes, and also may not be able to attain the high growth rate of successful smaller companies, especially during extended periods of economic expansion.

Management Risk: The Portfolio's strategies may not produce the desired results, and may result in losses to the Portfolio.

Market Risk: Overall securities market risks may affect the value of individual securities. 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. Factors such as foreign and domestic economic growth and market conditions, interest rate levels, and political events may adversely affect the securities markets. Local, regional or global events such as war, military conflict, geopolitical disputes, acts of terrorism, the spread of infectious illness or other public health issues, natural disasters, recessions, inflation, rapid interest rate changes, supply chain disruptions, tariffs and other restrictions on trade, sanctions, increased government spending, social or political unrest or other events, or the threat or potential threat of one or more such events and developments, could also have a significant impact on the Portfolio and its investments.

Mid Cap Risk: The securities of mid cap companies generally trade in lower volumes and are generally subject to greater and less predictable price changes than the securities of larger capitalization companies. Medium capitalization companies may be more vulnerable than larger, more established organizations to adverse business or economic developments.

Mortgage- and Asset-Backed Securities Risk: Mortgage- and asset-backed securities differ from conventional debt securities because principal is paid back periodically over the life of the security rather than at maturity. An investor may receive unscheduled payments of principal due to voluntary prepayments, refinancings or foreclosures on the underlying loans. To the investor this means a loss of anticipated interest, and a portion of its principal investment represented by any premium the investor may have paid. Mortgage prepayments generally increase when interest rates fall. Mortgage-backed securities also are subject to extension risk. Rising interest rates could reduce the rate of prepayments on mortgage-backed securities and extend their life. This could cause the price of the mortgage-backed securities and the Underlying Fund's share price to fall and would make the mortgage-backed securities more sensitive to interest rate changes. Issuers of asset-backed securities may have limited ability to enforce the security interest in the underlying assets, and credit enhancements provided to support the securities, if any, may be inadequate to protect investors in the event of default. Like mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities are subject to prepayment and extension risks.

Over-the-Counter Transactions Risk: The Portfolio engages in over-the-counter ("OTC") transactions, some of which trade in a dealer network, rather than on an exchange. In general, there is less governmental regulation and supervision of transactions in the OTC markets than transactions entered into on organized exchanges, with OTC transactions subject to the risk that a counterparty to the transaction will not fulfill its contractual obligations.

Short Positions Risk: Losses from short positions in derivatives contracts occur when the reference instrument increases in value. Losses from a short position in a derivatives contract could potentially be very large if the value of the underlying reference instrument rises dramatically in a short period of time, including the potential loss that exceeds the actual cost of the investment.

Small Cap Risk: Small capitalization companies may be more vulnerable than larger, more established organizations to adverse business or economic developments. In particular, small capitalization companies may have more limited product lines, markets and financial resources and may depend on a relatively small management group.

Sovereign Debt Risk: Sovereign debt instruments are subject to the risk that a governmental entity may delay or refuse to pay interest or repay principal on its sovereign debt.

Style Factors Risk: The equity style factors (i.e., momentum, quality, value, low volatility and size) that determine the weight of each component security in an underlying index have characteristics that may cause an Underlying ETF to underperform the index or the market as a whole.

Tactical Asset Allocation Risk: Tactical asset allocation is an investment strategy that actively adjusts a portfolio's asset allocation. The Portfolio's tactical asset management discipline may not work as intended. The Portfolio may not achieve its objective and may not perform as well as other funds using other asset management styles. The

Underlying Fund Risk: Underlying Funds are subject to investment advisory and other expenses, which will be indirectly paid by the Portfolio. As a result, your cost of investing in the Portfolio will be higher than the cost of investing directly in an Underlying Fund and may be higher than other mutual funds that invest directly in stocks and bonds. Because the Portfolio's investments include shares of the Underlying Funds, the Portfolio's risks include the risks of each Underlying Fund.

Value Stock Risk: Value stocks involve the risk that they may never reach what the ETF manager believes is their full market value, either because the market fails to recognize the stock's intrinsic worth or the ETF manager misgauged that worth. Because different types of stocks tend to shift in and out of favor depending on market and economic conditions, the Portfolio's performance may sometimes be lower or higher than that of other types of mutual funds.

(1)  Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses are the indirect cost of investing in other investment companies, the costs of which will not be included in the Portfolio's financial statements. The operating expenses in this fee table will not correlate to the expense ratio in the Portfolio's financial highlights because the financial statements include only the direct operating expenses incurred by the Portfolio.

(2)  The Portfolio's investment adviser, Global Atlantic Investment Advisors, LLC (the "Adviser"), has contractually agreed to waive its fees and to reimburse expenses, at least until May 1, 2026, 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 0.88% of average daily net assets attributable to the Portfolio's shares. 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, after giving effect to the recoupment amount, can be achieved within the lesser of the expense limits listed above and any expense limits applicable at the time of recoupment. The agreement may be terminated only by the Portfolio's Board of Trustees, on 60 days' written notice to the Adviser.

Affiliated Underlying Fund Risk: The Portfolio invests in Underlying Funds that are affiliated with a Sub-Adviser. The Sub-Adviser is subject to conflicts of interest when allocating Portfolio assets among the various Underlying Funds both because the fees payable to it and/or its affiliates by some Underlying Funds are higher than the fees payable by other Underlying Funds and because the Sub-Adviser and its affiliates are also responsible for managing the Underlying Funds.

Asset Allocation Risk: The Portfolio's percentage allocations among its investments could cause the Portfolio to underperform relative to relevant benchmarks and other mutual funds with similar investment objectives.

Conflicts of Interest Risk: The Portfolio's strategy is designed to reduce the Portfolio's return volatility and manage downside exposure during periods of significant market declines but may not work as intended. The Portfolio's strategy may also reduce the risks assumed by the insurance company that sponsors your variable annuity contract. This facilitates the insurance company's ability to provide certain guaranteed benefits but may result in periods of underperformance, reduce a contract holder's ability to fully participate in rising markets and may increase transaction costs at the Portfolio and/or Underlying Fund level. Although the interests of contract holders and the insurance company are generally aligned, the insurance company (and the Adviser due to its affiliation with the insurance company) may face potential conflicts of interest. Specifically, the Portfolio's strategy may have the effect of mitigating the financial risks to the insurance company when providing certain guaranteed benefits.

Corporate Loans Risk: The value of corporate loan investments is generally less exposed to the adverse effects of shifts in market interest rates than investments that pay a fixed rate of interest. The market for corporate loans may be subject to irregular trading activity, wide bid/ask spreads and extended trade settlement periods (which may exceed seven days). As a result, the proceeds from the sale of corporate loans may not be readily available to make additional investments or to meet an Underlying Fund's redemption obligations, meaning that the Underlying Fund may have to sell other investments or take other actions if necessary to raise cash to meet its obligations.

An Underlying Fund will generally not receive interest payments on the distressed securities and may incur costs to protect its investment. In addition, distressed securities involve the substantial risk

Emerging Markets Risk: Emerging markets are riskier than more developed markets because they tend to develop unevenly and may never fully develop. Investments in emerging markets may be considered speculative. Emerging markets are more likely to experience hyperinflation and currency devaluations, which adversely affect returns to U.S. investors. In addition, many emerging securities markets have far lower trading volumes and less liquidity than developed markets.

Equity Risk: Common and preferred stock prices can fall rapidly in response to developments affecting a specific company or industry, or to changing economic, political or market conditions.

ESG Investing Risk: The Portfolio may invest a portion of its assets in Underlying Funds that integrate ESG in their investment selection process and/or screen out particular companies and industries based on certain ESG related criteria. An Underlying Fund may forgo certain investment opportunities, which may affect the Portfolio's exposure to certain companies or industries. An Underlying Fund's results may be lower than other funds that do not seek to invest in companies based on ESG ratings and/or screen out certain companies or industries. An Underlying Fund may invest in companies that do not reflect the beliefs and values of any particular investor.

ETF Risk: 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. Because the value of ETF shares depends on the demand in the market, the Portfolio may not be able to liquidate its holdings at the most optimal time, adversely affecting performance.

Fixed Income Risk: The value of bonds and other fixed-income securities will fluctuate with changes in interest rates. Typically, a rise in periods of volatility and rising interest rates may lead to increased redemptions and volatility and decreased liquidity in the fixed-income markets, making it more difficult to sell fixed-income holdings. In general, the market price of debt securities with longer maturities will increase or decrease more in response to changes in interest rates than shorter-term securities. Securities issued by U.S. government agencies or government-sponsored enterprises may not be guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury. Other risk factors include credit risk (the debtor may default), prepayment risk (the debtor may pay its obligations early, reducing the amount of interest payments), extension risk (repayments may occur more slowly if interest rates rise) and income risk (distributions to shareholders may decline where interest rates fall or defaults occur). These risks could affect the value of a particular investment, possibly causing the Portfolio's share price and total return to be reduced and fluctuate more than other types of investments.

Focus Risk: To the extent that the Portfolio or an Underlying Fund focuses on particular countries, regions, industries, sectors or types of investment from time to time, the Portfolio or Underlying Fund may be subject to greater risks of adverse developments in such areas of focus than a fund that invests in a wider variety of countries, regions, industries, sectors or investments.

Foreign Currency Risk: Exposure to foreign securities denominated in non-US dollar currencies will subject the Portfolio to currency trading risks that include market risk and country risk. Market risk results from adverse changes in exchange rates. Country risk arises because a government may interfere with transactions in its currency.

Foreign Investment Risk: Foreign investing involves risks not typically associated with U.S. investments, including adverse fluctuations in foreign currency values, adverse political, social and economic developments, less liquidity, greater volatility, restrictions on capital movements, less developed or less efficient trading markets, political instability, sanctions, and differing auditing and legal standards.

Growth Stock Risk: Growth stocks may be more volatile than other stocks because they are more sensitive to investors' perceptions of the issuing company's growth potential. In addition, growth stocks typically lack the dividend yield that can cushion stock prices in market downturns. The growth investing style can also fall out of favor, which may lead the Portfolio to underperform other funds that use different investing styles.

High-Yield Debt Securities Risk: Lower-quality bonds (including loans), known as "high-yield" or "junk" bonds, and unrated securities of similar credit quality are considered speculative and involve greater risk of a complete loss of an investment, or delays of interest and principal payments, than higher-quality debt securities. Issuers of high-yield debt securities are typically not as strong financially as those issuing securities of higher credit quality. These issuers are more likely to encounter financial difficulties and are more vulnerable to changes in the relevant economy that could affect their ability to make interest and principal payments when due. The prices of high-yield debt securities generally fluctuate more than higher quality securities. High-yield debt securities are generally less liquid than higher quality securities, making them harder to sell and harder to value.

Large Cap Risk: Large cap companies may be unable to respond quickly to new competitive challenges, such as changes in technology and consumer tastes, and also may not be able to attain the high growth rate of successful smaller companies, especially during extended periods of economic expansion.

Management Risk: The Portfolio's strategies may not produce the desired results, and may result in losses to the Portfolio.

Market Risk: Overall securities market risks may affect the value of individual securities. 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. Factors such as foreign and domestic economic growth and market conditions, interest rate levels, and political events may adversely affect the securities markets. Local, regional or global events such as war, military conflict, geopolitical disputes, acts of terrorism, the spread of infectious illness or other public health issues, natural disasters, recessions, inflation, rapid interest rate changes, supply chain disruptions, tariffs and other restrictions on trade, sanctions, increased government spending, social or political unrest or other events, or the threat or potential threat of one or more such events and developments, could also have a significant impact on the Portfolio and its investments.

Mid Cap Risk: The securities of mid cap companies generally trade in lower volumes and are generally subject to greater and less predictable price changes than the securities of larger capitalization companies. Medium capitalization companies may be more vulnerable than larger, more established organizations to adverse business or economic developments.

Mortgage- and Asset-Backed Securities Risk: Mortgage- and asset-backed securities differ from conventional debt securities because principal is paid back periodically over the life of the security rather than at maturity. An investor may receive unscheduled payments of principal due to voluntary prepayments, refinancings or foreclosures on the underlying loans. To the investor this means a loss of anticipated interest, and a portion of its principal investment represented by any premium the investor may have paid. Mortgage prepayments generally increase when interest rates fall. Mortgage-backed securities also are subject to extension risk. Rising interest rates could reduce the rate of prepayments on mortgage-backed securities and extend their life. This could cause the price of the mortgage-backed securities and the Underlying Fund's share price to fall and would make the mortgage-backed securities more sensitive to interest rate changes. Issuers of asset-backed securities may have limited ability to enforce the security interest in the underlying assets, and credit enhancements provided to support the securities, if any, may be inadequate to protect investors in the event of default. Like mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities are subject to prepayment and extension risks.

Over-the-Counter Transactions Risk: The Portfolio engages in over-the-counter ("OTC") transactions, some of which trade in a dealer network, rather than on an exchange. In general, there is less governmental regulation and supervision of transactions in the OTC markets than transactions entered into on organized exchanges, with OTC transactions subject to the risk that a counterparty to the transaction will not fulfill its contractual obligations.

Short Positions Risk: Losses from short positions in derivatives contracts occur when the reference instrument increases in value. Losses from a short position in a derivatives contract could potentially be very large if the value of the underlying reference instrument rises dramatically in a short period of time, including the potential loss that exceeds the actual cost of the investment.

Small Cap Risk: Small capitalization companies may be more vulnerable than larger, more established organizations to adverse business or economic developments. In particular, small capitalization companies may have more limited product lines, markets and financial resources and may depend on a relatively small management group.

Sovereign Debt Risk: Sovereign debt instruments are subject to the risk that a governmental entity may delay or refuse to pay interest or repay principal on its sovereign debt.

Style Factors Risk: The equity style factors (i.e., momentum, quality, value, low volatility and size) that determine the weight of each component security in an underlying index have characteristics that may cause an Underlying ETF to underperform the index or the market as a whole.

Tactical Asset Allocation Risk: Tactical asset allocation is an investment strategy that actively adjusts a portfolio's asset allocation. The Portfolio's tactical asset management discipline may not work as intended. The Portfolio may not achieve its objective and may not perform as well as other funds using other asset management styles. The Sub-Adviser's evaluations and assumptions in selecting Underlying Funds or individual securities may be incorrect in view of actual market conditions, and may result in owning securities that underperform other securities.

Underlying Fund Risk: Underlying Funds are subject to investment advisory and other expenses, which will be indirectly paid by the Portfolio. As a result, your cost of investing in the Portfolio will be higher than the cost of investing directly in an Underlying Fund and may be higher than other mutual funds that invest directly in stocks and bonds. Because the Portfolio's investments include shares of the Underlying Funds, the Portfolio's risks include the risks of each Underlying Fund.

Value Stock Risk: Value stocks involve the risk that they may never reach what the ETF manager believes is their full market value, either because the market fails to recognize the stock's intrinsic worth or the ETF manager misgauged that worth. Because different types of stocks tend to shift in and out of favor depending on market and economic conditions, the Portfolio's performance may sometimes be lower or higher than that of other types of mutual funds.

Investment Objectives: The Portfolio seeks to provide capital appreciation and income while seeking to manage volatility.

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. The table and the example do not include any fees or sales charges imposed by your variable annuity contract. If they were included, your costs would be higher. Please refer to your variable annuity prospectus for information on the separate account fees and expenses associated with your contract.

(1)  Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses are the indirect cost of investing in other investment companies, the costs of which will not be included in the Portfolio's financial statements. The operating expenses in this fee table will not correlate to the expense ratio in the Portfolio's financial highlights because the financial statements include only the direct operating expenses incurred by the Portfolio.

(2)  The Portfolio's investment adviser, Global Atlantic Investment Advisors, LLC (the "Adviser"), has contractually agreed to waive its fees and to reimburse expenses, at least until May 1, 2026, 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 0.64% of average daily net assets attributable to the Portfolio's shares. 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, after giving effect to the recoupment amount, can be achieved within the lesser of the expense limits listed above and any expense limits applicable at the time of recoupment. Additionally, the Adviser has contractually agreed, until at least May 1, 2026, to waive 0.40% of its advisory fee. This waiver is not subject to recoupment by the Adviser. The agreements may be terminated only by the Portfolio's Board of Trustees, on 60 days' written notice to the Adviser.

Example: This 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. You would pay the same expenses if you did not redeem your shares. However, each variable annuity contract and separate account involves fees and expenses that are not included in the Example.

Principal Investment Strategies: The Adviser allocates a portion of the Portfolio to a capital appreciation and income component (the "Capital Appreciation and Income Component") managed by Wilshire Advisors LLC ("Wilshire" or a "Sub-Adviser") and a portion to a managed risk component (the "Managed Risk Component") managed by Milliman Financial Risk Management LLC ("Milliman" or a "Sub-Adviser"). Wilshire manages the Capital Appreciation and Income Component pursuant to a "fund of funds" strategy that seeks to achieve its objective by investing in a combination of unaffiliated mutual funds and unaffiliated exchange-traded funds ("ETFs") (collectively the "Underlying Funds"). This strategy of investing in a combination of Underlying Funds is intended to result in investment diversification that an investor could otherwise achieve only by holding numerous individual investments. Milliman manages the Managed Risk Component pursuant to a strategy that seeks to manage portfolio volatility and provide downside risk management.

The Adviser seeks to achieve the Portfolio's investment objective by allocating, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of the Portfolio's net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, to the Capital Appreciation and Income Component and up to 20% of the Portfolio's net assets to the Managed Risk Component. Wilshire expects to further allocate approximately 75% of the Portfolio's Capital Appreciation and Income Component to Underlying Funds that hold primarily equity securities and 25% to Underlying Funds that hold primarily fixed-income securities, although Wilshire may modify the target allocation from time to time. The Portfolio may invest up to 20% of net assets in unaffiliated ETFs. Wilshire utilizes both qualitative and quantitative components to develop the target allocations. The process seeks to generate target allocations that integrate Wilshire's macroeconomic views, strategy insights, and robust analytics to develop a portfolio that is designed to perform in a variety of market environments. The Portfolio will include, but is not limited to, Underlying Funds that also employ an active investment style.

The Underlying Funds' investments will focus on investments in medium to large capitalization companies; however, its investments are not limited to a particular capitalization size. As a result of its investments in the Underlying Funds, the Portfolio indirectly invests principally in U.S. and non-U.S. equity and fixed-income securities and derivatives. In addition, the Underlying Funds may invest in debt assets in lower quality debt securities (rated Ba1 or below and BB+ or below by Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organizations designated by the Underlying Funds' adviser or unrated but determined to be of equivalent quality by the Underlying Funds' adviser). Such securities are sometimes referred to as "junk bonds."

Wilshire generally intends to rebalance the Portfolio on a quarterly basis or as needed, to align more closely with target allocations. The target allocations are subject to change through dynamic tilts (a percentage overweight or underweight relative to long-term strategic asset allocation targets) that emphasize asset classes and strategies that appear attractive and undervalued and de-emphasize asset classes and strategies that appear less attractive. Under normal conditions, dynamic tilts are reflected in Wilshire's quarterly target allocations, but Wilshire will make ad-hoc changes intra-quarter if its dynamic views deem them appropriate. The basis for such dynamic tilts is developed in Wilshire's Investment Strategy Committee, which is comprised of senior investment professionals across Wilshire's investment team.

In the Managed Risk Component, the Adviser seeks to manage return volatility by employing Milliman to execute a managed risk strategy, which consists of using hedge instruments to reduce the downside risk of the Portfolio's securities. Milliman may use hedge instruments to accomplish this goal, which may include: equity futures contracts, treasury futures contracts, currency futures contracts, and other hedge instruments judged by Milliman to be necessary to achieve the goals of the managed risk strategy. Milliman may also buy or sell hedge instruments based on one or more market indices in an attempt to maintain the Portfolio's volatility at the targeted level in an environment in which Milliman expects

Asset Allocation Risk: The Portfolio's percentage allocations among its investments could cause the Portfolio to underperform relative to relevant benchmarks and other mutual funds with similar investment objectives.

Conflicts of Interest Risk: The Portfolio's strategy is designed to reduce the Portfolio's return volatility and manage downside exposure during periods of significant market declines but may not work as intended. The Portfolio's strategy may also reduce the risks assumed by the insurance company that sponsors your variable annuity contract. This facilitates the insurance company's ability to provide certain guaranteed benefits but may result in periods of underperformance, reduce a contract holder's ability to fully participate in rising markets and may increase transaction costs at the Portfolio and/or Underlying Fund level. Although the interests of contract holders and the insurance company are generally aligned, the insurance company (and the Adviser due to its affiliation with the insurance company) may face potential conflicts of interest. Specifically, the Portfolio's strategy may have the effect of mitigating the financial risks to the insurance company when providing certain guaranteed benefits.

Derivatives Risk: The use of derivatives may increase costs, reduce the Portfolio's returns and/or increase volatility. The use of derivatives may also result in leverage, which can magnify the effects of changes in the value of investments, make such investments more volatile and expose the Portfolio to losses that exceed the initial amount invested. Many types of derivatives are also subject to the risk that the other party in the transaction will not fulfill its contractual obligation. Derivatives are subject to risks arising from margin requirements. In addition, the fluctuations in the values of derivatives 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 the Portfolio to losses and could make derivatives more difficult to value accurately. Derivative investments are further subject to regulatory risks, from both U.S. and foreign regulators that may impact the availability, liquidity and costs associated with such investments and potentially limit the ability of mutual funds to invest in derivatives.

Equity Risk: Common and preferred stock prices can fall rapidly in response to developments affecting a specific company or industry, or to changing economic, political or market conditions.

ETF Risk: 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. Because the value of ETF shares depends on the demand in the market, the Portfolio may not be able to liquidate its holdings at the most optimal time, adversely affecting performance.

Fixed Income Risk: The value of bonds and other fixed-income securities will fluctuate with changes in interest rates. Typically, a rise in periods of volatility and rising interest rates may lead to increased redemptions and volatility and decreased liquidity in the fixed-income markets, making it more difficult to sell fixed-income holdings. In general, the market price of debt securities with longer maturities will increase or decrease more in response to changes in interest rates than shorter-term securities. Securities issued by U.S. government agencies or government-sponsored enterprises may not be guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury. Other risk factors include credit risk (the debtor may default), prepayment risk (the debtor may pay its obligations early, reducing the amount of interest payments), extension risk (repayments may occur more slowly if interest rates rise) and income risk (distributions to shareholders may decline where interest rates fall or defaults occur). These risks could affect the value of a particular investment, possibly causing the Portfolio's share price and total return to be reduced and fluctuate more than other types of investments.

Foreign Currency Risk: Exposure to foreign securities denominated in non-US dollar currencies will subject the Portfolio to currency trading risks that include market risk and country risk. Market risk results from adverse changes in exchange rates. Country risk arises because a government may interfere with transactions in its currency.

Foreign Investment Risk: Foreign investing involves risks not typically associated with U.S. investments, including adverse fluctuations in foreign currency values, adverse political, social and economic developments, less liquidity, greater volatility, restrictions on capital movements, less developed or less efficient trading markets, political instability, sanctions, and differing auditing and legal standards.

Growth Stock Risk: Growth stocks may be more volatile than other stocks because they are more sensitive to investors' perceptions of the issuing company's growth potential. In addition, growth stocks typically lack the dividend yield that can cushion stock prices in market downturns. The growth investing style can also fall out of favor, which may lead the Portfolio to underperform other funds that use different investing styles.

High-Yield Debt Securities Risk: Lower-quality bonds (including loans), known as "high-yield" or "junk" bonds, and unrated securities of similar credit quality are considered speculative and involve greater risk of a complete loss of an investment, or delays of interest and principal payments, than higher-quality debt securities. Issuers of high-yield debt securities are typically not as strong financially as those issuing securities of higher credit quality. These issuers are more likely to encounter financial difficulties and are more vulnerable to changes in the relevant economy that could affect their ability to make interest and principal payments when due. The prices of high-yield debt securities generally fluctuate more than higher quality securities. High-yield debt securities are generally less liquid than higher quality securities, making them harder to sell and harder to value.

Large Cap Risk: Large cap companies may be unable to respond quickly to new competitive challenges, such as changes in technology and consumer tastes, and also may not be able to attain the high growth rate of successful smaller companies, especially during extended periods of economic expansion.

Management Risk: The Portfolio's strategies may not produce the desired results, and may result in losses to the Portfolio.

Market Risk: Overall securities market risks may affect the value of individual securities. 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. Factors such as foreign and domestic economic growth and market conditions, interest rate levels, and political events may adversely affect the securities markets. Local, regional or global events such as war, military conflict, geopolitical disputes, acts of terrorism, the spread of infectious illness or other public health issues, natural disasters, recessions, inflation, rapid interest rate changes, supply chain disruptions, tariffs and other restrictions on trade, sanctions, increased government spending, social or political unrest or other events, or the threat or potential threat of one or more such events and developments, could also have a significant impact on the Portfolio and its investments.

Mid Cap Risk: The securities of mid cap companies generally trade in lower volumes and are generally subject to greater and less predictable price changes than the securities of larger capitalization companies. Medium capitalization companies may be more vulnerable than larger, more established organizations to adverse business or economic developments.

Over-the-Counter Transactions Risk: The Portfolio engages in over-the-counter ("OTC") transactions, some of which trade in a dealer network, rather than on an exchange. In general, there is less governmental regulation and

Short Positions Risk: Losses from short positions in derivatives contracts occur when the reference instrument increases in value. Losses from a short position in a derivatives contract could potentially be very large if the value of the underlying reference instrument rises dramatically in a short period of time, including the potential loss that exceeds the actual cost of the investment.

Small Cap Risk: Small capitalization companies may be more vulnerable than larger, more established organizations to adverse business or economic developments. In particular, small capitalization companies may have more limited product lines, markets and financial resources and may depend on a relatively small management group.

Underlying Fund Risk: Underlying Funds are subject to investment advisory and other expenses, which will be indirectly paid by the Portfolio. As a result, your cost of investing in the Portfolio will be higher than the cost of investing directly in an Underlying Fund and may be higher than other mutual funds that invest directly in stocks and bonds. Because the Portfolio's investments include shares of the Underlying Funds, the Portfolio's risks include the risks of each Underlying Fund.

Unrated Debt Securities Risk: Unrated debt securities determined to be of comparable credit quality to rated securities which the Underlying Fund may purchase may pay a higher interest rate than such rated debt securities and be subject to a greater risk of illiquidity or price changes. Less public information and independent credit analysis are typically available about unrated securities or issuers, and therefore they may be subject to greater risk of default.

Investment Objectives: The Portfolio seeks to provide capital appreciation and income while seeking to manage volatility.

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. The table and the example do not include any fees or sales charges imposed by your variable annuity contract. If they were included, your costs would be higher. Please refer to your variable annuity prospectus for information on the separate account fees and expenses associated with your contract.

(1)  Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses are the indirect cost of investing in other investment companies, the costs of which will not be included in the Portfolio's financial statements. The operating expenses in this fee table will not correlate to the expense ratio in the Portfolio's financial highlights because the financial statements include only the direct operating expenses incurred by the Portfolio.

(2)  The Portfolio's investment adviser, Global Atlantic Investment Advisors, LLC (the "Adviser"), has contractually agreed to waive its fees and to reimburse expenses, at least until May 1, 2026, 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 1.19% of average daily net assets attributable to the Portfolio's shares. 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, after giving effect to the recoupment amount, can be achieved within the lesser of the expense limits listed above and any expense limits applicable at the time of recoupment. The agreement may be terminated only by the Portfolio's Board of Trustees, on 60 days' written notice to the Adviser.

Example: This 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. You would pay the same expenses if you did not redeem your shares. However, each variable annuity contract and separate account involves fees and expenses that are not included in the Example. If these fees and expenses were included in the Example, your overall expenses would be higher. The Example also

Principal Investment Strategies: The Adviser allocates a portion of the Portfolio to a capital appreciation and income component (the "Capital Appreciation and Income Component") managed by Wellington Management Company LLP ("Wellington Management" or a "Sub-Adviser") and a portion to a managed risk component (the "Managed Risk Component") managed by Milliman Financial Risk Management LLC ("Milliman" or a "Sub-Adviser"). Milliman manages the Managed Risk Component pursuant to a strategy that seeks to manage portfolio volatility and provide downside risk management.

The Adviser seeks to achieve the Portfolio's investment objective by allocating, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of the Portfolio's net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, to the Capital Appreciation and Income Component and up to 20% of the Portfolio's net assets to the Managed Risk Component. In managing the Capital Appreciation and Income Component, Wellington Management manages an equity strategy and a fixed-income strategy. Under normal circumstances, approximately 65% of the Capital Appreciation and Income Component will be allocated to the equity strategy, and approximately 35% of the Capital Appreciation and Income Component to the fixed-income strategy, although the Adviser may modify the target allocation from time to time.

The Portfolio's equity strategy seeks to provide long-term total returns by investing primarily in common stocks and other equity securities of U.S. large-capitalization companies and, to a lesser extent, U.S. small-capitalization and mid-capitalization companies, and foreign companies. In managing the equity strategy, Wellington Management will allocate the Portfolio's assets across a variety of industries, selecting companies in each industry based on the research of Wellington Management's team of global industry analysts. The Portfolio will typically seek to maintain representation in each major industry represented in the S&P 500^®​ Index. Wellington Management may invest up to 15% of the Portfolio's net assets allocated to the equity strategy in securities of foreign issuers and non-dollar securities.

In analyzing a prospective investment for its equity strategy, Wellington Management utilizes what is sometimes referred to as a "bottom-up" approach, which is the use of fundamental analysis to identify specific securities for purchase or sale. Fundamental analysis of a company involves the assessment of such factors as its business environment, management quality, balance sheet, income statement, anticipated earnings, revenues and dividends, and other related measures or indicators of valuation and growth potential.

Wellington Management's fixed-income strategy seeks to provide long-term total returns by investing in a broad range of high-quality U.S. fixed-income securities. The investment universe primarily includes U.S. government and agency securities, mortgage and structured finance securities, asset-backed securities, and investment-grade U.S. dollar-denominated corporate and sovereign securities. The fixed-income strategy does not invest in below investment grade securities or securities denominated in foreign currencies. The restriction on below investment grade securities applies at the time of purchase. The fixed-income strategy may invest in fixed-income-related derivatives, including, but not limited to futures contracts, forward transactions and swap agreements.

In the Managed Risk Component, the Adviser seeks to manage return volatility by employing Milliman to execute a managed risk strategy, which consists of using hedge instruments to reduce the downside risk of the Portfolio's securities. Milliman may use hedge instruments to accomplish this goal, which may include: equity futures contracts, treasury futures contracts, currency futures contracts, and other hedge instruments judged by Milliman to be necessary to achieve the goals of the managed risk strategy. Milliman may also buy or sell hedge instruments based on one or more market indices in an attempt to maintain the Portfolio's volatility at the targeted level in an environment in which Milliman expects

Asset Allocation Risk: The Portfolio's percentage allocations among its investments could cause the Portfolio to underperform relative to relevant benchmarks and other mutual funds with similar investment objectives.

Conflicts of Interest Risk: The Portfolio's strategy is designed to reduce the Portfolio's return volatility and manage downside exposure during periods of significant market declines but may not work as intended. The Portfolio's strategy may also reduce the risks assumed by the insurance company that sponsors your variable annuity contract. This facilitates the insurance company's ability to provide certain guaranteed benefits but may result in periods of underperformance, reduce a contract holder's ability to fully participate in rising markets and may increase transaction costs at the Portfolio and/or Underlying Fund level. Although the interests of contract holders and the insurance company are generally aligned, the insurance company (and the Adviser due to its affiliation with the insurance company) may face potential conflicts of interest. Specifically, the Portfolio's strategy may have the effect of mitigating the financial risks to the insurance company when providing certain guaranteed benefits.

Derivatives Risk: The use of derivatives may increase costs, reduce the Portfolio's returns and/or increase volatility. The use of derivatives may also result in leverage, which can magnify the effects of changes in the value of investments, make such investments more volatile and expose the Portfolio to losses that exceed the initial amount invested. Many types of derivatives are also subject to the risk that the other party in the transaction will not fulfill its contractual obligation. Derivatives are subject to risks arising from margin requirements. In addition, the fluctuations in the values of derivatives 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 the Portfolio to losses and could make derivatives more difficult to value accurately. Derivative investments are further subject to regulatory risks, from both U.S. and foreign regulators that may impact the availability, liquidity and costs associated with such investments and potentially limit the ability of mutual funds to invest in derivatives.

Equity Risk: Common and preferred stock prices can fall rapidly in response to developments affecting a specific company or industry, or to changing economic, political or market conditions.

Fixed Income Risk: The value of bonds and other fixed-income securities will fluctuate with changes in interest rates. Typically, a rise in periods of volatility and rising interest rates may lead to increased redemptions and volatility and decreased liquidity in the fixed-income markets, making it more difficult to sell fixed-income holdings. In general, the market price of debt securities with longer maturities will increase or decrease more in response to changes in interest rates than shorter-term securities. Securities issued by U.S. government agencies or government-sponsored enterprises may not be guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury. Other risk factors include credit risk (the debtor may default), prepayment risk (the debtor may pay its obligations early, reducing the amount of interest payments), extension risk (repayments may occur more slowly if interest rates rise) and income risk (distributions to shareholders may decline where interest rates fall or defaults occur). These risks could affect the value of a particular investment, possibly causing the Portfolio's share price and total return to be reduced and fluctuate more than other types of investments.

Foreign Investment Risk: Foreign investing involves risks not typically associated with U.S. investments, including adverse fluctuations in foreign currency values, adverse political, social and economic developments, less liquidity, greater volatility, restrictions on capital movements, less developed or less efficient trading markets, political instability, sanctions, and differing auditing and legal standards.

Large Cap Risk: Large cap companies may be unable to respond quickly to new competitive challenges, such as changes in technology and consumer tastes, and also may not be able to attain the high growth rate of successful smaller companies, especially during extended periods of economic expansion.

Management Risk: The Portfolio's strategies may not produce the desired results, and may result in losses to the Portfolio.

Market Risk: Overall securities market risks may affect the value of individual securities. 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. Factors such as foreign and domestic economic growth and market conditions, interest rate levels, and political events may adversely affect the securities markets. Local, regional or global events such as war, military conflict, geopolitical disputes, acts of terrorism, the spread of infectious illness or other public health issues, natural disasters, recessions, inflation, rapid interest rate changes, supply chain disruptions, tariffs and other restrictions on trade, sanctions, increased government spending, social or political unrest or other events, or the threat or potential threat of one or more such events and developments, could also have a significant impact on the Portfolio and its investments.

Mid Cap Risk: The securities of mid cap companies generally trade in lower volumes and are generally subject to greater and less predictable price changes than the securities of larger capitalization companies. Medium capitalization companies may be more vulnerable than larger, more established organizations to adverse business or economic developments.

Mortgage- and Asset-Backed Securities Risk: Mortgage- and asset-backed securities differ from conventional debt securities because principal is paid back periodically over the life of the security rather than at maturity. An investor may receive unscheduled payments of principal due to voluntary prepayments, refinancings or foreclosures on the underlying loans. To the investor this means a loss of anticipated interest, and a portion of its principal investment represented by any premium the investor may have paid. Mortgage prepayments generally increase when interest rates fall. Mortgage-backed securities also are subject to extension risk. Rising interest rates could reduce the rate of prepayments on mortgage-backed securities and extend their life. This could cause the price of the mortgage-backed securities and the Portfolio's share price to fall and would make the mortgage-backed securities more sensitive to interest rate changes. Issuers of asset-backed securities may have limited ability to enforce the security interest in the underlying assets, and credit enhancements provided to support the securities, if any, may be inadequate to protect investors in the event of default. Like mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities are subject to prepayment and extension risks.

Mortgage Dollar Rolls Risk: In a mortgage dollar roll, the Portfolio takes the risk that: the market price of the mortgage-backed securities will drop below their future purchase price; the securities that it repurchases at a later date will have less favorable market characteristics; the other party to the agreement will not be able to perform; the roll adds leverage to the portfolio; and, it increases the Portfolio's sensitivity to interest rate changes. In addition, investment in mortgage dollar rolls may increase the turnover rate for the Portfolio.

Over-the-Counter Transactions Risk: The Portfolio engages in over-the-counter ("OTC") transactions, some of which trade in a dealer network, rather than on an exchange. In general, there is less governmental regulation and supervision of transactions in the OTC markets than transactions entered into on organized exchanges, with OTC transactions subject to the risk that a counterparty to the transaction will not fulfill its contractual obligations.

Short Positions Risk: Losses from short positions in derivatives contracts occur when the reference instrument increases in value. Losses from a short position in a derivatives contract could potentially be very large if the value of the underlying reference instrument rises dramatically in a short period of time, including the potential loss that exceeds the actual cost of the investment.

Small Cap Risk: Small capitalization companies may be more vulnerable than larger, more established organizations to adverse business or economic developments. In particular, small capitalization companies may have more limited product lines, markets and financial resources and may depend on a relatively small management group.

Sovereign Debt Risk: Sovereign debt instruments are subject to the risk that a governmental entity may delay or refuse to pay interest or repay principal on its sovereign debt.

To Be Announced ("TBA") Securities Risk: TBA securities are standardized contracts for future delivery of fixed-rate mortgage pass-through securities in which the exact mortgage pools to be delivered are not specified until shortly before settlement. TBA securities include when-issued and delayed delivery securities and forward commitments. TBA securities involve the risk that the security the Portfolio buys will lose value prior to its delivery. There also is the risk that the security will not be issued or that the other party to the transaction will not meet its obligation.

Underlying Fund Risk: Underlying Funds are subject to investment advisory and other expenses, which will be indirectly paid by the Portfolio. As a result, your cost of investing in the Portfolio will be higher than the cost of investing directly in an Underlying Fund and may be higher than other mutual funds that invest directly in stocks and bonds. Because the Portfolio's investments include shares of the Underlying Funds, the Portfolio's risks include the risks of each Underlying Fund.

U.S. Government Securities Risk: The U.S. government may not provide financial support to U.S. government agencies, instrumentalities or sponsored enterprises if it is not obligated to do so by law. It is possible that issuers of U.S. government securities will not have the funds to meet their payment obligations in the future.
