C000017853 Investment Objective and Strategy
T.Rowe Price Small Cap Growth Portfolio describes its objective and strategy as follows, from its latest prospectus filed with the SEC by Brighthouse Funds Trust II.
Investment objective
Long-term capital growth.
Principal investment strategy
T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. (T. Rowe Price or Subadviser), subadviser to the Portfolio, invests under normal market conditions at least 80% of the Portfolios net assets in a diversified group of small capitalization companies. T. Rowe Price defines small capitalization companies as those with a market capitalization, at the time of purchase by the Portfolio, within the range of the market capitalization of companies in the MSCI U.S. Small Cap Growth Index. As of December 31, 2025, this included companies with market capitalizations between approximately $10.8 million and $26.1 billion. The market capitalization limits will vary with market fluctuations. The Portfolio may on occasion purchase a stock whose market capitalization exceeds the range, and it will not automatically sell a stock just because the companys market capitalization has grown beyond the upper end of the range.
The Portfolio will seek to invest in a diversified portfolio of securities and the top 25 holdings of the Portfolio will not, under normal circumstances, constitute more than 50% of the Portfolios total assets. This diversification should minimize the effects of individual security selection on Portfolio performance. While most assets will be invested in U.S. common stocks, other securities may also be purchased for the Portfolio, including foreign stocks, in keeping with its objective. The Portfolios investments in foreign securities will be limited to 10% of total assets. The Portfolio may also invest in investment companies and exchange traded funds. The Portfolio may, from time to time, emphasize one or more sectors. Stock Selection The Portfolio employs an integrated approach to investing by combining fundamental analysis and quantitative models developed by T.
Rowe Price to identify stocks that could be included in the portfolio. Based on these models and fundamental research, the portfolio is typically constructed in a bottom up manner which takes into consideration various stock characteristics, such as projected earnings and sales growth rates, valuation, capital allocation, and earnings quality. Sector allocations are generally in line with those of the Russell 2000 Growth Index, with occasional small overweights or underweights to a particular sector. The Portfolio may sell securities for a variety of reasons, such as to secure gains, limit losses, or redeploy assets into more promising opportunities.
