Additional Information, both dated April 27, 2026, as supplemented from time to time, and the Portfolio's financial statements for
the year ended December 31, 2025, including the notes to the financial statements, the financial highlights and the report of the

Investment Objective
To track the performance of the Standard & Poor's MidCap 400® Composite Stock Price Index ("S&P MidCap 400 Index").
Fees and Expenses of the Portfolio
The following table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy and hold shares of the Portfolio. The table and the Example below do not reflect the fees, expenses or withdrawal charges imposed by your variable life insurance policy or variable annuity contract (the "Contract"). See the Contract prospectus for a description of those fees, expenses and charges. If Contract expenses were reflected, the fees and expenses in the table and Example would be higher.

Example
The following Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Portfolio with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Portfolio for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Portfolio's operating expenses remain the same. Although
your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions, your costs would be:

Portfolio Turnover
The Portfolio pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs. These costs, which are not reflected in annual portfolio operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Portfolio's performance.
During the most recent fiscal year, the Portfolio's portfolio turnover rate was 26% of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal Investment Strategies
The S&P MidCap 400 Index consists of the common stock of approximately 400 mid capitalization companies. MetLife Investment Management, LLC ("MIM" or "Subadviser"), the subadviser to the Portfolio, manages the Portfolio by purchasing the common stocks of all the companies included in the S&P MidCap 400 Index. Although the Portfolio seeks to track the performance of the S&P MidCap 400 Index, its performance usually will not exactly match that of the index because, among other things, the Portfolio incurs operating expenses. The S&P MidCap 400 Index is an unmanaged group of common stocks, and therefore does not incur these expenses. As of December 31, 2025, the market capitalizations of companies in the S&P MidCap 400 Index ranged from $1.7 billion to $32.9 billion. The market capitalization limits will vary with market fluctuations.
MIM, under normal circumstances, invests at least 80% of the Portfolio's net assets in stocks included in a particular mid capitalization stock index. The Portfolio may also invest in real estate investment trusts.
In seeking to track the performance of the S&P MidCap 400 Index, from time to time the Portfolio may focus its investments in one or more industries or sectors.
MIM may rebalance the Portfolio due to, among other things, cash flows into and out of the Portfolio or changes in the S&P MidCap 400 Index.
Principal Risks
As with all mutual funds, there is no guarantee that the Portfolio will achieve its investment objective. You could lose money by investing in the Portfolio. An investment in the Portfolio through a Contract is not a deposit or obligation of, or guaranteed by, any bank, and is not federally insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Federal Reserve Board, or any other agency of the U.S. Government.
The value of your investment in the Portfolio may be affected by one or more of the following risks, which are described in more detail in "Principal Risks of Investing in the Portfolio" in the Prospectus. The significance of any specific risk to an investment in the Portfolio will vary over time, depending on the composition of the Portfolio, market conditions, and other factors. You should read all of the risk information presented below carefully, because any one or more of these risks could cause the Portfolio's return or the price of its shares to decrease or could cause the Portfolio's yield to fluctuate.
Market Risk. The Portfolio's share price can fall because of, among other things, a decline in the market as a whole, deterioration in the prospects for a particular industry or company, changes in general economic conditions, such as prevailing interest rates or investor sentiment, or other factors including terrorism, war, natural disasters and the spread of infectious illness including epidemics or pandemics. In addition, unexpected political, regulatory, trade and diplomatic events within the United States and abroad may affect investor and consumer confidence and may adversely impact financial markets and the broader economy, perhaps suddenly and to a significant degree. Significant disruptions to the financial markets could adversely affect the liquidity and volatility of securities held by the Portfolio.
Market Capitalization Risk. Investing primarily in issuers in one market capitalization category (large, medium or small) carries the risk that due to current market conditions that category will be out of favor with investors. Larger, more established companies may be unable to respond quickly to new competitive challenges or attain the high growth rate of successful smaller companies. Stocks of medium and small capitalization companies may be more volatile than those of larger companies due to, among other things, narrower product lines, more limited financial resources and fewer experienced managers. In addition, there is typically less publicly available information about small capitalization companies, and their stocks may have a more limited trading market than stocks of larger companies.
Passive Management Risk. In attempting to track the returns of an index, the Portfolio may be more susceptible to risks than an actively managed portfolio because it generally will not use any defensive strategies to mitigate its risk exposure. In addition, the Portfolio's returns may deviate from the index it seeks to track as a result of, among other things, portfolio operating expenses, transaction costs and delays in investing cash.
Real Estate Investment Risk. Investments in real estate investment trusts and other real estate related securities may be adversely impacted by the performance of the real estate market generally or that of a particular sub-sector or geographic region.
Focused Investment Risk. Substantial investments in a relatively small number of securities or issuers, or a particular market, industry, group of industries, country, region, group of countries, asset class or sector make the Portfolio's performance more susceptible to any single economic, market, political or regulatory occurrence affecting those particular securities or issuers or that particular market, industry, group of industries, country, region, group of countries, asset class or sector than a portfolio that invests more broadly.
Past Performance
The information below provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Portfolio by showing changes in the Portfolio's performance from year to year and how the Portfolio's average annual returns over time compare with those of a broad-based securities market index and an additional index reflecting the market segment(s) in which the Portfolio invests. Note that the results in the bar chart and table do not include the effect of Contract charges. If these Contract charges had been included, performance would have been lower. As with all mutual funds, past returns are not a prediction of future returns.

Purchase and Sale of Portfolio Shares
Shares of the Portfolio are only sold to separate accounts of insurance companies, including insurance companies affiliated with BIA, to fund Contracts. For information regarding the purchase and sale of the Portfolio's shares, please see the prospectus for the relevant Contract.
Tax Information
For information regarding the tax consequences of Contract ownership, please see the prospectus for the relevant Contract.
Payments to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial
Intermediaries
The Portfolio is not sold directly to the general public but instead is offered as an underlying investment option for Contracts issued by insurance companies, including insurance companies that are affiliated with the Portfolio and BIA. The Portfolio and its related companies, including BIA, may make payments to the sponsoring insurance companies (or their affiliates) for distribution and/or other services, and the insurance companies may benefit more from offering the Portfolio as an investment option in the Contracts than offering other portfolios. The benefits to the insurance companies of offering the Portfolio over other portfolios and these payments may be factors that the insurance companies consider in including the Portfolio as an underlying investment option in the Contracts and may create a conflict of interest. The prospectus for your Contract contains additional information about these payments.
