C000240214 Investment Objective and Strategy

Milliman 6-Year Buffered S&P 500 with Par Up Outcome Fund - Apr (II) describes its objective and strategy as follows, from its latest prospectus filed with the SEC by Milliman Variable Insurance Trust.

Investment objective

The Fund seeks to provide exposure to the S&P 500 Index, while providing a buffer against the first 20% of losses associated with S&P 500 Index performance and participating in S&P 500 Index gains at a declared rate, prior to taking into account any fees or expenses or the performance of any fixed income exposure included in the Funds portfolio, over a six-year period.

Principal investment strategy

The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by transacting in FLexible EXchange Options ( FLEX Options ) and by separately maintaining a collateral portfolio (the Collateral Portfolio ), which is designed primarily to serve as margin or collateral for the Funds FLEX Options positions and secondarily to enhance the Funds upside S&P 500 Index FLEX Options exposure ( i.e. , by utilizing anticipated income to measure the ability to purchase additional FLEX Options). FLEX Options are exchange-traded options contracts with uniquely customizable terms. In general, an options contract is an agreement between a buyer and seller that gives the purchaser of the option the right to buy or sell a particular asset at a specified future date at an agreed upon price, commonly known as the strike price.

The reference assets for the Funds FLEX Options positions will include the S&P 500 Index, which is a large-capitalization, market-weighted, U.S. equities index that tracks the price (excluding dividends) of 500 leading companies in leading industries of the U.S. economy, and certain exchange-traded funds ( ETFs ), including those that seek to track the performance of the S&P 500 Index (a corresponding ETF ), as described further below. The Collateral Portfolio may be invested in short-term fixed-income securities, including corporate bonds and other corporate debt securities, asset-backed securities ( ABS ), securities issued by the U.S. Government or its agencies and instrumentalities, securities issued by non-U.S. governments or their agencies and instrumentalities, money market securities and funds, other interest-bearing instruments, cash, ETFs that primarily invest in any of the foregoing instruments, options on ETFs and options box spreads.

An options box spread is the combination of different options trades that have offsetting spreads ( e.g. , purchases and sales on the same underlying instrument, such as an index or an ETF, but with different strike prices and/or expiration dates) for the purpose of generating income. The Fund may invest in short-term fixed income securities or other instruments, including through ETFs, of any maturity and credit quality. The Fund will generally invest up to 80% of its net assets in one or more ETFs that provide exposure to investment grade corporate bonds. Due to the unique mechanics of the Funds strategy, the return an investor can expect to receive from an investment in the Fund has characteristics that are distinct from the returns of many other investment vehicles. It is important that an investor understand these characteristics before making an investment in the Fund.

In seeking to achieve its investment objective, the Fund seeks to produce pre-determined outcomes (the Outcomes ) that are based upon the performance of the S&P 500 Index over a six-year period (the Outcome Period ). The initial Outcome Period for the Fund commenced on April 10, 2023. Each subsequent Outcome Period will be a six-year period commencing upon the expiration of the prior Outcome Period. The Fund seeks to achieve the Outcomes by purchasing and writing (selling) FLEX Options to create layers within the Funds portfolio. One layer is designed to produce returns that correlate to those of the S&P 500 Index for the Outcome Period at a declared rate (the Par Up Rate ) if the S&P 500 Index experiences gains during that time, as described below. A separate layer is designed to produce returns that correlate to those of the S&P 500 Index for the Outcome Period that are buffered up to 20% if the S&P 500 Index experiences losses during that time (the Buffer ).

There is no guarantee that the Fund will be successful in its attempt to produce returns that correlate to those of the S&P 500 Index at the Par Up Rate or produce buffered returns against the Funds S&P 500 Index exposure. Milliman Financial Risk Management LLC ( Milliman ), the investment adviser of the Fund, seeks to establish the Buffer by writing one put FLEX Option on the S&P 500 Index or a corresponding ETF with a strike price of such option that is 20% lower than the value of the S&P 500 Index or corresponding ETF at the beginning of the Outcome Period. Milliman seeks to establish the Par Up Rate by purchasing long call FLEX Options on the S&P 500 Index or a corresponding ETF with a strike price of such options approximately equal to the value of the S&P 500 Index or corresponding ETF at the beginning of the Outcome Period.

Milliman purchases these FLEX Options with a portion of the Funds net assets plus (i) the cash received from writing the put FLEX Option designed to create the Buffer, and (ii) yield expected to be received from the Collateral Portfolio. The Par Up Rate is the rate at which the Fund will seek to track any upside market performance of the S&P 500 Index. Milliman calculates the Par Up Rate based upon (i) its evaluation of prevailing market conditions on the first day of the Outcome Period and (ii) the total number of long call FLEX Options on the S&P 500 Index or corresponding ETF that it is able to purchase at that time. The Par Up Rate as of April 10, 1023 is provided below. Once calculated, the Par Up Rate for a particular Outcome Period will not change during that Outcome Period; however, in certain market conditions, the performance of the Collateral Portfolio could reduce the impact of the Par Up Rate.

Share Class Par Up Rate* (As of April 10, 2023) Prior to Taking into Account Fund Fees and Expenses Class 3 116.67% * The performance of the Funds upside S&P 500 Index FLEX Options exposure is calculated by multiplying the Par Up Rate by the positive returns of the S&P 500 Index for the Outcome Period. That performance is then reduced by the Funds total net expenses. The Buffer is only operative against the first 20% of losses in the Funds S&P 500 Index exposure for the Outcome Period. If the S&P 500 Index decreases in value by more than 20% during the Outcome Period, the Fund (and therefore investors in Shares) will experience all subsequent losses in the Funds S&P 500 Index exposure on a one-to-one basis for the Outcome Period. The Fund seeks to produce buffered returns against its S&P 500 Index exposure prior to taking into account any fees or expenses or the performance of the Collateral Portfolio.

The Buffer is not operative against losses in the Collateral Portfolio. If the Collateral Portfolio experiences losses, it could have the effect of reducing the impact of, or completely eliminating, the Buffer on the Funds S&P 500 Index exposure. In certain market conditions, the performance of the Collateral Portfolio could cause the Fund to significantly underperform the S&P 500 Index. The following table reflects the Buffer both gross and net of Fund fees and expenses: Share Class Buffer Prior to Taking into Account Fund Fees and Expenses After Taking into Account Fund Fees and Expenses Class 3 20% 14.23% The definitive Par Up Rate and Buffer will be set forth on the Funds website. The Funds website will also provide information relating to the Outcomes on a daily basis, including the Funds position relative to the Par Up Rate and the Buffer.

You may also contact your insurance company or other financial intermediary for more information. Additionally, the Funds net asset value ( NAV ) will not increase or decrease at the same rate as the S&P 500 Index because the Funds performance will vary with fluctuations in the performance of the Collateral Portfolio, in addition to the value of the Funds FLEX Options positions on the S&P 500 Index or corresponding ETF. The Fund also incurs fees and expenses when transacting in options contracts. While Milliman anticipates that the Funds NAV will generally move in the same direction as the S&P 500 Index (meaning that the Funds NAV will generally increase if the S&P 500 Index experiences gains or decrease if the S&P 500 Index experiences losses), the Funds NAV may not decrease at the same rate as the S&P 500 Index (especially when factoring in the performance of the Collateral Portfolio) and will not increase at the same rate as the S&P 500 Index (especially when factoring in the Par Up Rate and the performance of the Collateral Portfolio).

Similarly, the amount of time remaining until the end of the Outcome Period also affects the impact of the Buffer on the Funds NAV, because the Buffer may not be in full effect prior to the end of the Outcome Period. The FLEX Options utilized in the Funds portfolio are each set to expire on the last day of the Outcome Period. The customizable nature of FLEX Options will allow Milliman to select the strike price at which each FLEX Option will be exercised at the expiration of the FLEX Option term. At the commencement of the Outcome Period, Milliman will specifically select the strike price for each FLEX Option in a manner designed to achieve the Outcomes when the FLEX Options are exercised on the final day of the Outcome Period, depending on the anticipated performance of the S&P 500 Index and the Collateral Portfolio over the duration of that Outcome Period.

The hypothetical graphical illustrations provided below are designed to illustrate the Outcomes based upon the hypothetical performance of the S&P 500 Index for an investor who holds Shares for the entirety of the Outcome Period. The hypothetical graphical illustrations do not include any fees or expenses imposed by your variable product or expenses incurred by the Fund, and do not reflect the performance of the Collateral Portfolio. Additional hypothetical graphical representations of the Outcomes are provided in Additional Information About the Funds and the Risks of Investing. There is no guarantee that the Fund will be successful in its attempt to achieve the Outcomes for the Outcome Period. The following table contains hypothetical examples designed to illustrate the Outcomes the Fund seeks to achieve over the Outcome Period, based upon the performance of the S&P 500 Index from (100)% to 100% after taking into account the Par Up Rate and the Buffer, but prior to taking into account any fees or expenses or the performance of the Collateral Portfolio.

The table is provided for illustrative purposes only and does not provide every possible performance scenario for Shares over the course of the Outcome Period. There is no guarantee that the Fund will be successful in its attempt to achieve the Outcomes for an Outcome Period. The table is not intended to predict or project the performance of the FLEX Options or the Fund. Investors should not take this information as an assurance of the expected performance of the S&P 500 Index or the Fund. Actual Fund performance will vary with fluctuations in the performance of the Collateral Portfolio, in addition to the value of the Funds FLEX Options positions on the S&P 500 Index or corresponding ETF, during the Outcome Period, among other factors. The performance of the Collateral Portfolio could significantly impact the performance of the Fund, which could prevent the Fund from achieving the Outcomes that it seeks to produce.

The table does not reflect any fees or expenses imposed by your variable product or expenses incurred by the Fund. If it did, the returns shown for the Fund would be lower. Please refer to the Funds website, which provides updated information relating to this table on a daily basis throughout the Outcome Period.
