Investment objective
Seeks to maximize long-term growth.
Principal investment strategy
The portfolios sub-adviser, Morgan Stanley Investment Management Inc. (the sub-adviser), under normal circumstances, seeks long-term capital growth by investing primarily in established and emerging companies with capitalizations at the time of purchase within the range of companies included in the Russell 1000 Growth Index 1 , which as of December 31, 2025, was between $1.57 billion and $4.53 trillion. The portfolio typically invests in a relatively small number of companies. Growth stocks as a group may be out of favor and underperform the overall equity market for a long period of time, for example, while the market favors value stocks. The portfolio may invest up to 25% of its net assets in securities of foreign issuers, including issuers located in emerging market or developing countries, securities classified as American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), Global Depositary Receipts (GDRs), American Depositary Shares (ADSs) or Global Depositary Shares (GDSs), foreign U.S.
dollar denominated securities that are traded on a U.S. exchange and local shares of non-U.S. issuers. The sub-adviser considers an issuer to be from a particular country if (i) its principal securities trading market is in that country; (ii) alone or on a consolidated basis it derives 50% or more of its annual revenue from goods produced, sales made or services performed in that country; or (iii) it is organized under the laws of, or has a principal office in, that country. By applying these tests, it is possible that a particular company could be deemed to be from more than one country. The securities in which the portfolio may invest may be denominated in U.S. dollars or in currencies other than U.S. dollars. The portfolio may, but is not required to, utilize foreign currency forward exchange contracts, which are derivatives, in connection with investments in foreign securities, and may, but is not required to, purchase and sell certain derivative instruments, such as options, for various portfolio management purposes.
The portfolios equity investments may include common and preferred stocks, convertible securities , rights and warrants to purchase common stocks, depositary receipts, exchange-traded funds (ETFs), and other specialty securities having equity features. The portfolio may also invest its assets in cash, cash equivalent securities or short-term debt securities, repurchase agreements and money market instruments. The portfolio may invest in companies with significant exposure to digital assets, such as Bitcoin, or the digital asset ecosystem. The portfolio does not invest directly in digital assets. The sub-adviser emphasizes a bottom-up stock selection process, seeking attractive investments on an individual company basis. The sub-adviser integrates environmental, social and governance ( ESG) factors into its investment process by using ESG factors as a lens for additional fundamental research, which can contribute to its investment decision-making.
This analysis of ESG factors is subjective and not determinative in the sub-adviser's investment process. The sub-adviser may conclude that other attributes of an investment outweigh ESG factors when making investment decisions. 1 Russell and other service marks and trademarks related to the Russell indexes are trademarks of the London Stock Exchange Group companies.
