(a) Total return is calculated assuming a purchase of a share on the first day and a sale on the last day of each period reported and includes reinvestment of
dividends and distributions and does not reflect the effect of insurance contract charges. Total return does not reflect expenses associated with the
separate account such as administrative fees, account charges and surrender charges which, if reflected, would reduce the total return for all periods
shown. Performance figures may reflect voluntary fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. In the absence of voluntary fee waivers and/or expense
reimbursements, the total return would be lower. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Total returns may reflect adjustments to conform to
generally accepted accounting principles. Total returns for periods of less than one year are not annualized.
(b) Does not include expenses of the underlying portfolios in which the Portfolio invests.
(c) Not annualized.
(d) Annualized.
(e) Less than $0.005.
