To track the performance of the MSCI EAFE Index.
Principal investment strategy
The MSCI EAFE Index (also known as the MSCI Europe, Australasia and Far East Index) is an index containing approximately 1,000 securities of companies of varying capitalizations in developed countries outside the United States. MetLife Investment Management, LLC (MIM or Subadviser), the subadviser to the Portfolio, invests the Portfolios assets in a selected stratified sample of the approximately 1,000 stocks included in the MSCI EAFE Index. The stocks purchased for the Portfolio are chosen by MIM based on a variety of models and factors to, as a group, reflect the composite performance of the MSCI EAFE Index. Although the Portfolio seeks to track the performance of the MSCI EAFE Index, its performance usually will not exactly match that of the index because, among other things, the Portfolio incurs operating expenses.
The MSCI EAFE Index is an unmanaged group of common stocks, and therefore does not incur these expenses. As of December 31, 2025, the market capitalizations of companies in the MSCI EAFE Index ranged from $2.6 billion to $420.0 billion. The market capitalization limits will vary with market fluctuations. As of December 31, 2025, countries included in the MSCI EAFE Index were Australia, Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. MIM, under normal circumstances, invests at least 80% of the Portfolios net assets in stocks included in the MSCI EAFE Index. The Portfolio also may invest in real estate investment trusts. In seeking to track the performance of the MSCI EAFE Index, from time to time the Portfolio may focus its investments in one or more industries, sectors, countries or regions.
MIM may rebalance the Portfolio due to, among other things, cash flows into and out of the Portfolio or changes in the MSCI EAFE Index.
