**<strong>The</strong> Standard & Poor's 500 Composite Stock Price Index (S&P 500 Index) — an unmanaged index of 500 stocks of large U.S. companies — gives a broad look at how stock prices have performed.<br />
<strong>The</strong>se returns do not include the effect of any investment management expenses. <strong>The</strong>se returns would have been lower if they included the effect of these expenses. <strong>The</strong> "Since Inception" return<br />
reflects the closest calendar month-end return to the inception date of the Portfolio's Class II shares.<br />
***<strong>The</strong> Russell 1000 Value Index consists of those securities included in the Russell 1000 Index that have a less-than-average growth orientation. <strong>The</strong>se returns do not include the effect of<br />
investment management expenses. <strong>The</strong>se returns would have been lower if they included the effect of these expenses. <strong>The</strong> "Since Inception" return reflects the closest calendar month-end return to<br />
the inception date of the Portfolio's Class II shares.<br />
****<strong>The</strong> Lipper Average is calculated by Lipper Analytical Services, Inc. and reflects the return of certain portfolios underlying variable life and annuity products. <strong>The</strong> returns are net of investment<br />
fees and fund expenses but not product charges. <strong>The</strong>se returns would have been lower if they included the effect of product charges. <strong>The</strong> "Since Inception" return reflects the closest calendar<br />
month-end return to the inception date of the Portfolio's Class II shares. Although Lipper classifies the Portfolio in the Multi Cap Value <strong>Fund</strong>s Average, the returns for the Large Cap Value <strong>Fund</strong>s<br />
Average are also shown, because the management of the portfolios in the Large Cap Value <strong>Fund</strong>s Average is more consistent with the management of the Portfolio's Class I and Class II shares.<br />
