Strategy. Under normal circumstances, the Portfolio invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in securities of issuers principally engaged in offering, using or developing products, processes, or services that will provide or will benefit significantly from technological advances and improvements. The Sub-Adviser considers an issuer to be principally engaged in offering, using or developing products, processes, or services that will provide or will benefit significantly from technological advances and improvements if at least 50% of any issuers assets, income, sales, or profits are committed to, or derived from, such activities, or a third party has given the issuer an industry or sector classification consistent with such activities.

The Sub-Adviser considers an issuer to be principally engaged in offering, using or developing products, processes, or services that will provide or will benefit significantly from technological advances and improvements if at least 50% of any issuers assets, income, sales, or profits are committed to, or derived from, such activities, or a third party has given the issuer an industry or sector classification consistent with such activities. These issuers are in such fields as computer systems and software, networking and telecommunications, internet, business services, and electronics. The Portfolio may invest in securities of companies of any size and may invest in foreign securities, including emerging market securities. The Portfolio normally invests primarily in equity securities. Equity securities include common stocks and other securities that represent an ownership interest (or the right to acquire an ownership interest) in a company or other issuer, such as rights, warrants and depositary receipts. The Portfolio is non-diversified, which means that it may invest a greater portion of its assets in the securities of one or more issuers and invests overall in a smaller number of issuers than a diversified portfolio. In selecting investments for the Portfolio, the Sub-Adviser is not constrained to any particular investment style. The Sub-Adviser may invest the Portfolios assets in the stocks of companies that the Sub-Adviser believes to have above average earnings growth potential compared to other companies (growth companies) or the stocks of companies it believes are undervalued compared to their perceived worth (value companies) or in a combination of growth and value companies. However, companies that benefit from technological advancements and improvements often are growth companies. The stocks of growth companies tend to have prices that are high relative to their earnings, dividends, book value, or other financial measures. The Sub-Adviser uses an active bottom-up investment approach to buying and selling investments for the Portfolio. Investments are selected primarily based on fundamental analysis of individual issuers and their potential in light of their financial condition, and market, economic, political, and regulatory conditions. Factors considered may include analysis of an issuers earnings, cash flows, competitive position, and management ability. The Sub-Adviser may also consider environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors in its fundamental investment analysis where the Sub-Adviser believes such factors could materially impact the economic value of an issuer. ESG factors considered may include, but are not limited to, climate change, resource depletion, an issuers governance structure and practices, data protection and privacy issues, and diversity and labor practices. Quantitative screening tools that systematically evaluate an issuers valuation, price and earnings momentum, earnings quality, and other factors, may also be considered. The Sub-Adviser may sell a security for a variety of reasons, such as to secure gains, limit losses, or redeploy assets into opportunities the Sub-Adviser believes to be more promising, among others. The Portfolio will concentrate its investments in the securities of issuers in the industries in the technology sector. Show less
