Victory Pioneer Select Mid Cap Growth VCT Portfolio Summary

Investment Objective

The Victory Pioneer Select Mid Cap Growth VCT Portfolio (the "Fund") seeks long-term capital growth.

Fund Fees and Expenses

The table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, hold, and sell shares of the Fund. You may pay fees and expenses relating to any variable annuity contract or variable life insurance policy ("Variable Contract") that offers the Fund as an investment option, which are not reflected in the table and example below. If Variable Contract fees and expenses were reflected, the fees in the table would be higher.

Shareholder Fees
(paid directly from your investment) 

	Class I
Maximum Sales Charge (Load) Imposed on Purchases (as a percentage of offering price)	None
Maximum Deferred Sales Charge (Load) (as a percentage of the lower of purchase or sale price)	None

 

Management Fees	0.74%
Distribution and/or Service (12b-1) Fees	0.00%
Other Expenses	0.13%
Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses	0.87%
Fee Waiver/Expense Reimbursement1	(0.01)%
Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver and/or Expense Reimbursement1	0.86%

Example:

The following example is designed to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods shown and then sell or continue to hold all of your shares at the end of those periods. The example does not include the fees and charges related to the Variable Contracts that offer the Fund as an investment option. If these fees and charges were reflected, the expenses would be higher. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund's operating expenses remain the same. The amounts shown reflect any fee waiver/expense reimbursement in place through its expiration date. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be: 

	1 Year	3 Years	5 Years	10 Years
Class I	$88	$275	$480	$1,071

Victory Pioneer Select Mid Cap Growth VCT Portfolio Summary

Portfolio Turnover:

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover generally will indicate higher transaction costs. These costs, which are not reflected in annual Fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund's performance. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 63% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategy

Normally, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus the amount of borrowings, if any, for investment purposes) in equity securities of mid-size companies. Mid-size companies are those with market values, at the time of investment, that do not exceed the greater of the market capitalization of the largest company within the Russell Midcap Growth Index ($101.94 billion as of December 31, 2025) or the 3-year rolling average of the market capitalization of the largest company within the Russell Midcap Growth Index ($105.6 billion as of December 31, 2025), as measured at the end of the preceding month, and are not less than the smallest company within the index. The Russell Midcap Growth Index measures the performance of U.S. mid-cap growth stocks. The size of the companies in the index changes constantly as a result of market conditions and the composition of the index. The Fund's investments will not be confined to securities issued by companies included in the index. For purposes of the Fund's investment policies, equity securities include common stocks and other equity instruments, such as securities of other investment companies (including mutual funds, exchange-traded funds, and closed-end funds) that invest primarily in equity securities, depositary receipts, warrants, rights, equity interests in real estate investment trusts ("REITs"), and preferred stocks. The Fund may invest in initial public offerings of equity securities.

The Fund may invest in securities of issuers in any industry or market sector. The Fund may invest up to 20% of its total assets in debt securities. The Fund may invest up to 5% of its net assets in below-investment-grade debt securities (known as "junk bonds"), including below-investment-grade convertible debt securities, and securities in default.

The Fund may invest up to 20% of its net assets in REITs.

The Fund may invest up to 20% of its total assets in securities of non-U.S. issuers. The Fund will not invest more than 5% of its total assets in the securities of emerging markets issuers.

The Fund may, but is not required to, use derivatives, such as stock index futures and options. The Fund may use derivatives for a variety of purposes, including: in an attempt to hedge against adverse changes in the market prices of securities, interest rates or currency exchange rates; as a substitute for purchasing or selling securities; to attempt to increase the Fund's return as a non-hedging strategy that may be considered speculative; to manage portfolio characteristics; and as a cash flow management technique. The Fund may choose not to make use of derivatives for a variety of reasons, and any use may be limited by applicable law and regulations. The Fund also may hold cash or other short-term instruments.

The Fund uses a "growth" style of management and seeks to invest in companies with above average potential for earnings and revenue growth that are also trading at attractive market valuations. To select growth stocks, the Fund's investment adviser employs quantitative analysis, fundamental research and an evaluation of the issuer based on its financial statements and operations. The Adviser relies on the knowledge, experience, and judgment of its staff and the staff of its affiliates who have access to a wide variety of research. The Adviser focuses on the quality and price of individual issuers and economic sector analysis, not on market-timing strategies.

The Adviser generally sells a portfolio security when it believes that the issuer no longer offers the potential for above average earnings and revenue growth. The Adviser makes that determination based upon the same criteria it uses to select portfolio securities.

Principal Risks

You could lose money on your investment in the Fund. As with any mutual fund, there is no guarantee that the Fund will achieve its objective.

Market Risk - The market prices of securities or other assets held by the Fund may go up or down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably, due to general market conditions, such as real or perceived adverse economic, political, or regulatory conditions, political instability, recessions, inflation, changes in interest or currency rates, lack of liquidity in the markets, the spread of infectious illness or other public health issues, weather or climate events, wars or armed conflicts, market disruptions caused by tariffs, trade disputes, sanctions or other government actions, or other factors or adverse investor sentiment. If the market prices of the Fund's securities and assets fall, the value of your investment will go down. A change in financial condition or other event affecting a single issuer or market may adversely impact securities markets as a whole.

In the past decade, financial markets throughout the world have experienced increased volatility, depressed valuations, decreased liquidity and heightened uncertainty. Governmental and non-governmental issuers have defaulted on, or been forced to restructure, their debts. These conditions may continue, recur, worsen or spread. Events that have contributed to these market conditions include, but are not limited to, major cybersecurity events; geopolitical events (including wars, terror attacks and economic sanctions); measures to address budget deficits; downgrading of sovereign debt; changes in oil and commodity prices; dramatic changes in currency exchange rates; global pandemics; and public sentiment. Some sectors of the economy and individual issuers have experienced or may experience particularly large losses. Periods of extreme volatility in the financial markets, reduced liquidity of many instruments, increased government debt, inflation, and disruptions to supply chains, consumer demand and employee availability, may continue for some time.

Raising the ceiling on U.S. government debt has become increasingly politicized. Any failure to increase the total amount that the U.S. government is authorized to borrow could lead to a default on U.S. government obligations, with unpredictable consequences for economies and markets in the United States and elsewhere. Inflation and interest rates may increase. These circumstances could adversely affect the value and liquidity of the Fund's investments, impair the Fund's ability to satisfy redemption requests, and negatively impact the Fund's performance. In addition, inflation, rising interest rates, global supply chain disruptions and other market events could adversely affect the companies or issuers in which the Fund invests. Following the commencement of the conflict in Ukraine, Russian securities lost all, or nearly all, their market value. Other securities or markets could be similarly affected by past or future political, geopolitical or other events or conditions.

Governments and central banks, including the U.S. Federal Reserve, have taken extraordinary and unprecedented actions to support local and global economies and the financial markets. These actions have resulted in significant expansion of public debt, including in the United States. The consequences of high public debt, including its future impact on the economy and securities markets, may not be known for some time. U.S. Federal Reserve or other U.S. or non-U.S. governmental or central bank actions, including increases or decreases in interest rates, or contrary actions by different governments, could negatively affect financial markets generally, increase market volatility and reduce the value and liquidity of securities in which the Fund invests. Policy and legislative changes in the United States and in other countries are affecting many aspects of financial regulation, and these and other events affecting global markets, such as the United Kingdom's exit from the European Union (commonly known as "Brexit"), potential trade imbalances with China, or other countries, or sanctions or other government actions against Russia, other nations or individuals or companies (or their countermeasures), may contribute to decreased liquidity and increased volatility in the financial markets. The impact of these changes on the markets, and the implications for market participants, may not be fully known for some time.

Victory Pioneer Select Mid Cap Growth VCT Portfolio Summary

The United States and other countries are periodically involved in disputes over trade and other matters, which may result in tariffs (or the threat of tariffs), investment restrictions and adverse impacts on affected companies and securities, potentially leading to significant losses for the Fund. For example, the United States has imposed tariffs and other trade barriers on Chinese exports, has restricted sales of certain categories of goods to China, and has established barriers to investments in China. Trade disputes may adversely affect the economies of the United States and its trading partners, as well as companies directly or indirectly affected and financial markets generally. The U.S. government has prohibited U.S. persons, such as the Fund, from investing in Chinese companies designated as related to the Chinese military. These and possible future restrictions could limit the Fund's opportunities for investment and require the sale of securities at a loss or make them illiquid. Moreover, China's long-running conflict over Taiwan's sovereignty, border disputes with many neighbors and historically strained relations with other Asian countries could result in military conflict. If the political climate between the United States and China does not improve or continues to deteriorate, if China enters into military conflict with Taiwan, the Philippines, or another neighbor, or if other geopolitical conflicts develop or get worse, economies, markets and individual securities may be severely affected both regionally and globally, and the value of the Fund's assets may go down.

Economies and financial markets throughout the world are increasingly interconnected. Economic, financial or political events, trading and tariff arrangements, armed conflicts such as between Russia and Ukraine or in the Middle East, terrorism, natural disasters, infectious illness or public health issues, cybersecurity events, supply chain disruptions, sanctions against Russia, other nations or individuals or companies and possible countermeasures, and other circumstances in one country or region could have profound impacts on other countries or regions and on global economies or markets. As a result, whether or not the Fund invests in securities of issuers located in or with significant exposure to the countries or regions directly affected, the value and liquidity of the Fund's investments may be negatively affected. The Fund may experience a substantial or complete loss on any security or derivative position.

Mid-Size Companies Risk - Compared to large companies, mid-size companies, and the market for their equity securities may be more sensitive to changes in earnings results and investor expectations, or poor economic or market conditions, including those experienced during a recession, have more limited product lines, operating histories, markets or capital resources, may be dependent upon a limited management group, experience sharper swings in market values, have limited liquidity, be harder to value or to sell at the times and prices the Adviser thinks appropriate, and offer greater potential for gain and loss.

Growth Style Risk - The Fund's investments may not have the growth potential originally expected. Growth stocks may fall out of favor with investors and underperform the overall equity market. Growth securities may also be more volatile than other investments because they often do not pay dividends. The values of growth securities tend to go down when interest rates rise because the rise in interest rates reduces the current value of future cash flows.

Portfolio Selection Risk - The Adviser's judgment about a particular security or issuer, or about the economy or a particular sector, region, market segment or industry, or about an investment strategy, may prove to be incorrect or may not produce the desired results, or there may be imperfections, errors or limitations in the models, tools and information used by the Adviser.

Risks of Investments in Real Estate Related Securities - Investments in real estate securities are affected by economic conditions, interest rates, governmental actions and other factors. In addition, investing in REITs involves unique risks. They are significantly affected by the market for real estate and are dependent upon management skills and cash flow. REITs may have lower trading volumes and may be subject to more abrupt or erratic price movements than the overall securities markets. Mortgage REITs are particularly subject to interest rate and credit risks. In addition to its own expenses, the Fund will indirectly bear its proportionate share of any management and other expenses paid by REITs in which it invests. Many real estate companies, including REITs, utilize leverage.

Victory Pioneer Select Mid Cap Growth VCT Portfolio Summary

Risks of Warrants and Rights - If the price of the underlying stock does not rise above the exercise price before the warrant expires, the warrant generally expires without any value and the Fund loses any amount it paid for the warrant. The failure to exercise subscription rights to purchase common shares would result in the dilution of the Fund's interest in the issuing company.

Preferred Stocks Risk - Preferred stocks may pay fixed or adjustable rates of return. Preferred stocks are subject to issuer-specific and market risks applicable generally to equity securities. In addition, a company's preferred stocks generally pay dividends only after the company makes required payments to holders of its bonds and other debt. Thus, the value of preferred stocks will usually react more strongly than bonds and other debt to actual or perceived changes in the company's financial condition or prospects. The market value of preferred stocks generally decreases when interest rates rise. Also, the market prices of preferred stocks are more sensitive to changes in the issuer's creditworthiness than are the prices of debt securities. Generally, under normal circumstances, preferred stocks do not carry voting rights. Preferred stocks may trade less frequently and in a more limited volume and may be subject to more abrupt or erratic price movements than other securities. Preferred stocks of smaller companies may be more vulnerable to adverse developments than preferred stocks of larger companies.

Risks of Initial Public Offerings - Companies involved in initial public offerings ("IPOs") generally have limited operating histories, and prospects for future profitability are uncertain. The market for IPO issuers has been volatile, and share prices of newly public companies have fluctuated significantly over short periods of time. The purchase of IPO shares may involve high transaction costs.

Risks of Investing in Other Funds - Investing in other investment companies, including exchange-traded funds ("ETFs") and closed-end funds, subjects the Fund to the risks of investing in the underlying securities or assets held by those funds. When investing in another fund, the Fund will bear a pro rata portion of the underlying fund's expenses, including management fees, in addition to its own expenses. ETFs and closed-end funds are bought and sold based on market prices and can trade at a premium or a discount to the ETF's or closed-end fund's net asset value. Such funds may trade at a discount for an extended period and may not ever realize their net asset value.

Debt Securities Risk - Factors that could contribute to a decline in the market value of debt securities in the Fund include rising interest rates, if the issuer or other obligor of a security held by the Fund fails to pay principal and/or interest, otherwise defaults or has its credit rating downgraded or is perceived to be less creditworthy or the credit quality or value of any underlying assets declines. A general rise in interest rates could adversely affect the price and liquidity of fixed income securities and could also result in increased redemptions from the Fund. Junk bonds have a higher risk of default or are already in default and are considered speculative.

Risks of Convertible Securities - The market values of convertible securities tend to decline as interest rates increase and, conversely, to increase as interest rates decline. A downturn in equity markets may cause the price of convertible securities to decrease relative to other fixed income securities.

Risks of Non-U.S. Investments - Investing in non-U.S. issuers, or in U.S. issuers that have significant exposure to foreign markets, may involve unique risks compared to investing in securities of U.S. issuers. These risks are more pronounced for issuers in emerging markets or to the extent that the Fund invests significantly in one region or country. These risks may include different financial reporting practices and regulatory standards, less liquid trading markets, extreme price volatility, currency risks, changes in economic, political, regulatory and social conditions, military conflicts and sanctions, terrorism, sustained economic downturns, financial instability, reduction of government or central bank support, inadequate accounting standards, auditing and financial recordkeeping requirements, tariffs, tax disputes or other tax burdens, nationalization or expropriation of assets, arbitrary application of laws and regulations or lack of rule of law, and investment and repatriation restrictions. Investors in foreign countries often have limited rights and few practical remedies to

Victory Pioneer Select Mid Cap Growth VCT Portfolio Summary

pursue shareholder claims. Lack of information and less market regulation also may affect the value of these securities. Dividends and interest received by the Fund and capital gains recognized by the Fund may give rise to withholding and other taxes imposed by foreign countries and may decrease the Fund's return. Non-U.S. issuers may be located in parts of the world that have historically been prone to natural disasters. Emerging market economies tend to be less diversified than those of more developed countries. They typically have fewer medical and economic resources than more developed countries and thus they may be less able to control or mitigate the effects of a pandemic. Investing in depositary receipts is subject to many of the same risks as investing directly in non-U.S. issuers. Depositary receipts may involve higher expenses and may trade at a discount (or premium) to the underlying security.

A number of countries in the European Union ("EU") have experienced, and may continue to experience, severe economic and financial difficulties. In addition, the United Kingdom has withdrawn from the EU (commonly known as "Brexit"). The range and potential implications of possible political, regulatory, economic, and market outcomes of Brexit cannot be fully known but could be significant, potentially resulting in increased volatility, illiquidity and potentially lower economic growth in the affected markets, which will adversely affect the Fund's investments.

Sanctions or other government actions against certain countries could negatively impact the Fund's investments in securities that have exposure to those countries. Circumstances that impact one country could have profound impacts on other countries and on global economies or markets. China and other developing market countries are potentially subject to heightened degrees of economic, political and social instability. The U.S. government has imposed restrictions on U.S. investor participation in certain Chinese investments. These matters could adversely affect China's economy. In addition, China's long-running conflict over Taiwan's sovereignty, border disputes with many neighbors and historically strained relations with other Asian countries could result in military conflict that could adversely impact the economies of China and other Asian countries, disrupt supply chains, and severely affect global economies and markets.

In response to military action in Ukraine commencing in 2022, the United States and other countries issued broad-ranging economic sanctions against Russia and Belarus and certain companies and individuals. Russia has taken retaliatory actions, including preventing repatriation of capital by United States and other investors. Since then, Russian securities have lost all, or nearly all, their market value, and many other issuers, securities and markets have been adversely affected. The ongoing conflict has resulted in significant market disruptions, including in certain markets, industries and sectors, such as the oil and natural gas markets, and negatively affected global supply chains, food supplies, inflation and global growth. The United States and other countries may impose sanctions on other countries, companies and individuals in light of Russia's military invasion. The extent and duration of the military action or future escalation of such hostilities, the extent and impact of existing and future sanctions, market disruptions and volatility, and the result of any diplomatic negotiations cannot be predicted. These and any related events could have a significant impact on the value and liquidity of certain Fund investments, on Fund performance and the value of an investment in the Fund.

Market Segment Risk - To the extent the Fund emphasizes, from time to time, investments in a market segment, the Fund will be subject to a greater degree to the risks particular to that segment, and may experience greater market fluctuation than a fund without the same focus.

Industries in the technology segment, such as information technology, communications equipment, computer hardware and software, and office and scientific equipment, are generally subject to risks of rapidly evolving technology, short product lives, rates of corporate expenditures, falling prices and profits, competition from new market entrants, and general economic conditions. They are also heavily dependent on intellectual property rights and may be adversely affected by the loss or impairment of, or inability to enforce, those rights.

Victory Pioneer Select Mid Cap Growth VCT Portfolio Summary

Derivatives Risk - Using stock index futures and options and other derivatives can increase Fund losses and reduce opportunities for gains when market prices, interest rates, or currencies, or the derivative instruments themselves behave in a way not anticipated by the Fund. Using derivatives may increase the volatility of the Fund's net asset value and may not provide the result intended. Derivatives may have a leveraging effect on the Fund. Some derivatives, such as writing (selling) put options, have the potential for unlimited loss, regardless of the size of the Fund's initial investment. Derivatives are generally subject to the risks applicable to the assets, rates, indices or other indicators underlying the derivative. Changes in a derivative's value may not correlate well with the referenced asset or metric. The Fund also may have to sell assets at inopportune times to satisfy its obligations. Derivatives may be difficult to sell, unwind or value, and the counterparty may default on its obligations to the Fund. Use of derivatives or similar instruments may not be as favorable as a direct investment in an underlying investment and may adversely affect the amount, timing and character of income distributed to shareholders. As a result, a larger portion of the Fund's distributions may be treated as ordinary income rather than capital gains. In addition, certain derivatives are subject to mark-to-market or straddle provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Internal Revenue Code"). If such provisions are applicable, there could be an increase (or decrease) in the amount of taxable dividends paid by the Fund. The U.S. government and foreign governments have adopted and implemented or are in the process of adopting and implementing regulations governing derivatives markets, including mandatory clearing of certain derivatives, margin and reporting requirements. The ultimate impact of the regulations remains unclear. Additional regulation of derivatives may make them more costly, limit their availability or utility, otherwise adversely affect their performance or disrupt markets.

Leveraging Risk - The value of your investment may be more volatile and other risks tend to be compounded if the Fund borrows or uses derivatives or other investments, such as ETFs, that have embedded leverage. Leverage generally magnifies the effect of any increase or decrease in the value of the Fund's underlying assets and creates a risk of loss of value on a larger pool of assets than the Fund would otherwise have, potentially resulting in the loss of all assets. Engaging in such transactions may cause the Fund to liquidate positions when it may not be advantageous to do so to satisfy its obligations. New derivatives regulations require the Fund, to the extent it uses derivatives to a material extent, to, among other things, comply with certain overall limits on leverage. These regulations may limit the ability of the Fund to pursue its investment strategies and may not be effective to mitigate the Fund's risk of loss from derivatives.

Valuation Risk - The sales price the Fund could receive for any particular portfolio investment may differ from the Fund's valuation of the investment, particularly for illiquid securities and securities that trade in thin or volatile markets or that are valued using a fair value methodology. These differences may increase significantly and affect Fund investments more broadly during periods of market volatility. Investors who purchase or redeem Fund shares on days when the Fund is holding fair-valued securities may receive fewer or more shares or lower or higher redemption proceeds than they would have received if the securities had not been fair-valued or if a different valuation methodology had been used. The ability to value the Fund's investments may also be impacted by technological issues and/or errors by pricing services or other third-party service providers.

Liquidity Risk - Some securities and derivatives held by the Fund may be or become impossible or difficult to purchase, sell or unwind, particularly during times of market turmoil. Illiquid securities and derivatives also may be difficult to value. Markets may become illiquid quickly. If the Fund is forced to sell an illiquid asset or unwind a derivatives position to meet redemption requests or other cash needs, the Fund may be forced to sell at a loss.

Redemption Risk - The Fund may experience heavy redemptions that could cause the Fund to liquidate its assets at inopportune times or at a loss or depressed value, accelerate taxable gains and cause the Fund to make taxable distributions to its shareholders earlier than the Fund otherwise would have, or accelerate transaction costs, which could cause the value of your investment to decline.

Victory Pioneer Select Mid Cap Growth VCT Portfolio Summary

Cybersecurity Risk - Cybersecurity failures by and breaches of the Adviser, transfer agent, the Distributor, custodian, Fund accounting agent or other service providers may disrupt Fund operations, interfere with the Fund's ability to calculate its NAV, prevent Fund shareholders from purchasing, redeeming or exchanging shares or receiving distributions or receiving timely information regarding the Fund or their investment in the Fund, cause loss of or unauthorized access to private shareholder information, and result in financial losses to the Fund and its shareholders, regulatory fines, penalties, reputational damage, or additional compliance costs. New ways to carry out cyber attacks continue to develop. Therefore, there is a chance that some risks have not been identified or prepared for, or that an attack may not be detected, which puts limitations on the Fund's ability to plan for or respond to a cyber attack.

Expense Risk - Your actual costs of investing in the Fund may be higher than the expenses shown in "Annual Fund Operating Expenses" for a variety of reasons. For example, expense ratios may be higher than those shown if overall net assets decrease. Net assets are more likely to decrease and Fund expense ratios are more likely to increase when markets are volatile.

Please note that there are many other factors that could adversely affect your investment and that could prevent the Fund from achieving its goals.

An investment in the Fund is not a bank deposit and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.

Investment Performance

On April 1, 2025, the Fund commenced operations when it reorganized (the "Reorganization") with and continued the operations of the Pioneer Select Mid Cap Growth VCT Portfolio (the "predecessor fund"). The Fund's investment objectives, principal investment strategies, policies and restrictions are substantially similar to those of the predecessor fund. The Fund's financial statements and historical investment performance reflect those of the predecessor fund and the Fund. The bar chart and performance table provide an indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The bar chart shows changes in the performance of the Class I shares of the Fund (and predecessor fund) from calendar year to calendar year over the past 10 years. The performance table shows the average annual total returns of Class I shares of the Fund (and predecessor fund) over the same period and compares these returns to one or more broad measures of market performance, which have characteristics relevant to the Fund's investment strategy. The S&P 500® Index, which represents 500 of the largest companies listed on the stock exchange in the United States, serves as the Fund's regulatory broad-based securities market index. The Russell Midcap® Growth Index, which measures the performance of the mid-cap growth segment of the US equity universe, is provided to show how the Fund's performance compares with the returns of an index of securities similar to those in which the Fund invests. We assume reinvestment of dividends and distributions.

The returns shown for periods ending prior to the Reorganization are those of the Class I shares of the predecessor fund. Class I shares of the predecessor fund were reorganized into Class I shares of the Fund in the Reorganization. Class I shares returns of the Fund will be different from the returns of the predecessor fund as they have different expenses.

The returns in the bar chart and performance table do not reflect the fees and expenses relating to Variable Contracts that offer the Fund. If such fees and expenses were reflected, the returns would be lower than those shown. Performance data does reflect fees and expenses applicable to the Fund, and reflects any expense limitations in effect during the periods shown. The Fund's past performance does not necessarily indicate how the Fund will perform in the future.

Updated performance information is available on the Fund's website at vcm.com.

Purchase and Sale of Fund Shares

Shares of the Fund are currently offered to certain separate accounts to fund Variable Contracts and by certain qualified pension and retirement plans ("Qualified Plans"). Shares of the Fund are not offered directly to the public and investors cannot place orders to purchase or sell shares with the Fund directly. Please refer to the separate account prospectus for information on how to manage your investment options in the Fund and any fees that may apply.

Tax Information

Since the Fund is only offered for investment through Variable Contracts, the Fund's distributions are not expected to be taxable to holders of such contracts. Holders of such contracts may be taxed later upon withdrawals of monies from those arrangements.

Payments to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries

If you purchase the Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as an insurance company), the Fund and its related companies may pay the intermediary for the sale of portfolio shares and related services. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other intermediary and your salesperson or investment professional to recommend the Fund over another investment. Ask your salesperson or investment professional or visit your financial intermediary's website for more information.

In addition, the Fund, through its distributor, may pay fees for activities primarily intended to result in the sale of Fund shares to insurance companies for the purpose of funding Variable Contracts, and are additionally offered to certain qualified pension and retirement plans. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing insurance companies to include the Fund as an underlying investment option in its variable insurance products. Ask your variable products salesperson or visit the insurance company's website for more information.
