Objective. The investment objective of the LVIP Vanguard Bond Allocation Fund (the Fund) is to seek total return consistent with the preservation of capital. Total return is comprised of income and capital appreciation.

Strategy. The Fund operates under a fund of funds structure. The Fund, under normal circumstances, invests substantially all of its assets in mutual funds and exchange-traded funds sponsored by The Vanguard Group, Inc. Approximately 30% of the Funds portfolio invests in the Vanguard Core Bond Fund (the Underlying Fund) and approximately 70% of the Funds portfolio invests in exchange-traded funds of the Vanguard ETFs series (ETFs), which, in turn, invest in U.S. and foreign fixed income securities (debt obligations). The Vanguard Group, Inc. is not affiliated with the Fund or its investment adviser, Lincoln Financial Investments Corporation (the Adviser). Shares of ETFs are listed and traded on a stock exchange or otherwise traded in the over-the-counter market and may be purchased … The Fund operates under a fund of funds structure. The Fund, under normal circumstances, invests substantially all of its assets in mutual funds and exchange-traded funds sponsored by The Vanguard Group, Inc. Approximately 30% of the Funds portfolio invests in the Vanguard Core Bond Fund (the Underlying Fund) and approximately 70% of the Funds portfolio invests in exchange-traded funds of the Vanguard ETFs series (ETFs), which, in turn, invest in U.S. and foreign fixed income securities (debt obligations). The Vanguard Group, Inc. is not affiliated with the Fund or its investment adviser, Lincoln Financial Investments Corporation (the Adviser). Shares of ETFs are listed and traded on a stock exchange or otherwise traded in the over-the-counter market and may be purchased and sold throughout the trading day based on their market price. The Adviser develops the Fund's asset allocation strategy based on the Fund's investment strategy. Through its investment in the Underlying Fund and ETFs, the Fund pursues its objective by investing primarily in a broad and diverse range of debt obligations with medium term (5-15 years) and short term (0-5 years) maturities issued by U.S. and non-U.S. governments, their agencies or instrumentalities, U.S. and non-U.S. corporations, and the U.S. Treasury. The Fund also invests in the Underlying Fund and ETFs that invest in mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities, and inflation-indexed bonds. Mortgage-backed securities may be collateralized by mortgage loans and contracts for future delivery of such securities (such as to-be-announced contracts). The Underlying Fund and ETFs may hold bonds that mature beyond 15 years. They also may hold futures contracts. The Fund, through the Underlying Fund and ETFs, may invest a large percentage of its assets in issuers located in a single country, a small number of countries, or a particular geographic region. The Underlying Fund may use foreign currency contracts to hedge foreign currency risks. On at least an annual basis, the Adviser will reassess and may make revisions in the Funds asset allocation strategy consistent with the Fund's investment strategy and objective, including revising the weightings among the investments described above and adding or removing Underlying Funds or ETFs to or from the asset allocation strategy. The Adviser will also periodically rebalance the weightings in the Underlying Fund and ETFs held by the Fund to the current asset allocation strategy. In general, the Adviser does not anticipate making frequent changes in the asset allocation strategy and will not attempt to time the market. The Adviser uses various analytical tools and proprietary and third-party research to construct the portfolio. Underlying Fund and ETF selections are made based on the Funds particular asset allocation strategy, the Adviser's desired asset class exposures, credit quality, sector exposure, interest rate risk or duration, and the investment styles and performance the Underlying Fund or ETFs. The Adviser also considers the portfolio characteristics and risk profile of an Underlying Fund or ETF over various periods and market environments to assess suitability of an Underlying Fund or ETF as an investment. * Vanguard and Vanguard ETF are trademarks of The Vanguard Group, Inc.
