Principal Investment Strategies. In pursuing its investment objective, the Portfolio normally invests at least 80% of its assets (net assets plus any borrowings made for investment purposes) in securities issued by medium capitalization companies. The Portfolio normally pursues its objective by investing primarily in the common stocks of mid-capitalization companies identified via fundamental analyses and quantitative screenings. The Portfolio seeks to invest in stocks of companies with above average earnings growth potential compared to other companies and companies that will produce sustainable earnings growth over a multi-year horizon. For purposes of the Portfolio, mid-capitalization companies are generally those that have market capitalizations between $1 billion and 120% of the market capitalization of the largest company included in the Russell Midcap Growth Index (Index). The size of the companies in the Index changes with market conditions and the composition of the Index. 

B.

The information under “Past Performance” in the “INVESTMENTS, RISKS AND PERFORMANCE” section of the Summary Prospectus is hereby deleted and replaced with the description set forth below: 

Note: Effective December 5, 2022, the Portfolio added subadvisers and changed its investment strategy. The performance figures prior to December 5, 2022 for the Portfolio reflect the investment performance, investment operations, investment policies, and investment strategies of former subadvisers, and it is not representative of all of the Portfolio’s current subadvisers and the Portfolio’s predicted performance.
