Investment Goal
This Fund seeks investment results that correspond to the total return of common stocks that are publicly traded in the U.S.
Fees and Expenses of the Fund
This table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, hold and sell shares of the Fund. You may pay other fees, such as brokerage commissions and other fees to financial intermediaries, which are not reflected in the table and Examples below. The table and Examples below also do not reflect expenses and charges that are imposed under your variable annuity contract or variable life insurance policy. For information on these expenses and charges, please refer to the applicable contract or policy prospectus. If these fees and expenses were included, the fees and expenses shown would be higher.

Examples
The Examples are intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other Funds of the Trust or other mutual funds. The Examples assume that you invest $10,000 for the time periods indicated, that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund's annual operating expenses remain as stated in the previous table for the time periods shown. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, the Examples show what your costs would be based on these assumptions.
These Examples do not reflect fees and expenses of any variable annuity contract or variable life insurance policy. If these were included, the expenses (in dollars) shown would be higher. Keep
in mind that this is only an estimate; actual expenses and performance may vary.

Portfolio Turnover
The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its holdings). During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, the portfolio turnover rate was 4% of the average value of the Fund. A higher portfolio turnover rate reflects a greater number of securities being bought or sold, which may indicate higher transaction costs. These costs, which are not reflected in Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the Examples, affect the Fund's performance.
Principal Investment Strategies
Under normal circumstances, this Fund invests at least 80% of its assets in equity securities of companies included in the Fund's applicable benchmark index, including instruments representative of that index (such as derivatives). The securities in the Fund's applicable benchmark are those that are included in the S&P 500 Index. The S&P 500 Index is an index of the stocks of approximately 500 large-capitalization companies traded in U.S. stock markets. As of December 31, 2023, the market capitalization range of the S&P 500 Index was approximately $4.9 billion to $3.0 trillion. The Fund principally invests in common stock.
As an index fund, the sub-adviser normally invests the Fund's assets across different groups of industries/sectors in the same manner as its index is invested, so it may invest a significant percentage of the Fund's assets in issuers in a single sector in accordance with its index. As of December 31, 2023, a significant portion of the Fund is represented by securities of companies in the Technology sector. The components of the Fund are likely to change over time as the composition of the index changes over time.
1
The Fund will generally hold substantially all of the stocks in the index in approximately the same proportions as their weightings in the index. The Fund will not concentrate, except to the same approximate extent as its index may concentrate, in the securities of a particular industry or group of industries (also known as a sector).
The Fund will not deviate from the above noted strategies at any time for any reason. The Fund may become non-diversified, as defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), solely as a result of a change in relative market capitalization or index weighting of one or more constituents of the index.
Principal Risks
As with any mutual fund, the value of the Fund's investments, and therefore the value of your shares, may go up or down and you could lose money. There is no guarantee that the Fund will achieve its investment goal. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Italicized terms refer to separate Principal Risks that are each defined in the Principal Risks section below.
While the Fund may be subject to various risk exposures at any given time depending on market conditions and other factors impacting holdings and investment strategies, the Fund under normal circumstances is subject to the following principal risks:

Equity Securities Risk: Equity securities tend to go up and down in value, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably.

Large-Capitalization Companies Risk: Although large-capitalization companies tend to have more stable prices than smaller, less established companies, they are still subject to equity securities risk. In addition, large-capitalization equity security prices may not rise as much as prices of equity securities of small-capitalization companies.

Tracking Error Risk: Performance of the Fund may vary from the performance of the index for which it seeks corresponding investment results due to imperfect correlation between the Fund's investments and that index.

Industry Concentration Risk: Concentrating investments in a particular industry or group of industries makes the Fund more susceptible to adverse economic, business, regulatory or other developments affecting that industry or group of industries, which could negatively impact performance.

Non-Diversification Risk: In order to track the composition of the index for which it seeks corresponding investment results, the Fund may invest a greater percentage of its assets in a single issuer or a fewer number of issuers than a fund that is classified as diversified. As a result, the Fund may become non-diversified under the 1940 Act. This increases the risk that the Fund will have greater price swings over shorter periods of time because the poor performance of a single investment or a fewer number of investments will have a greater impact on the Fund than a diversified fund with more investments.

Passive Management Risk: Regardless of performance, a passively managed (or index) fund generally holds constituent securities of the index for which the fund seeks corresponding
investment results, which could cause the index fund's return to be lower than an actively managed fund (which generally seeks to outperform an index). The fund will also perform poorly when such index performs poorly. In addition, an index fund has operating and other expenses while an index does not. As such, an index fund will tend to underperform the index to some degree over time even though it will attempt to track that index as closely as possible.

Technology Sector Risk: Companies in the technology sector face a number of risks, including operating in rapidly changing fields, abrupt or erratic market movements, limited product lines, markets or financial resources, management that is dependent on a limited number of people, short product cycles, aggressive pricing of products and services, new market entrants and rapid obsolescence of products and services due to technological innovations or changing consumer preferences. In addition, many U.S. companies in the technology sector have diverse operations, with products or services in foreign markets, exposing them to risks associated with foreign markets.

Underlying Fund Risk: Because the Fund is available for investment by one or more "fund of funds" of the Trust and thus may have a significant percentage of its outstanding shares held by such fund of funds, a change in asset allocation by the fund of funds could result in large redemptions out of the Fund, causing the sale of securities in a short timeframe and potential increases in expenses to the Fund and its remaining shareholders, both of which could negatively impact performance.
Performance
The bar chart and Average Annual Total Returns table below provide some indication of the risk of investing in the Fund by showing changes in the performance of the Fund from year to year and showing how the Fund's average annual total returns compare to a broad-based domestic equity market index. The bar chart shows the performance of the Fund's Class I shares. Returns do not reflect fees and expenses of any variable annuity contract or variable life insurance policy; if these fees and expenses were included, the returns shown would be lower. Past performance is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future. Performance reflects fee waivers or expense limitations, if any, that were in effect during the periods presented.

Purchase and Sale of Fund Shares
The Fund is offered at net asset value ("NAV") and is available as an underlying investment option for variable life insurance policies and variable annuity contracts ("variable products") issued by Pacific Life and PL&A. You do not buy, sell or exchange shares of the Fund - you choose investment options through your variable product. The life insurance companies then invest in the Fund if you choose it as an investment option and redeem shares of the Fund if you choose to decrease that investment option. Any minimum initial or subsequent investment requirements and procedures for purchase or redemption of shares of the Fund that apply to your variable product are described in the prospectus for the variable product.
Tax Information
Because the only shareholders of the Fund are the insurance companies offering the variable products and as applicable certain funds of funds of the Trust, no discussion is included here about the federal income tax consequences at the shareholder level. The federal income tax consequences for purchasers of a variable product are described in the prospectus for the variable product.
Payments to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries
Pacific Select Distributors, LLC ("PSD"), the distributor for the Fund and for the variable products, may pay broker-dealers or other financial intermediaries (such as insurance companies) for the sale of the variable products and related services, including shareholder servicing. The Fund's service fee or distribution/​service fee, as applicable, which is paid to PSD, can be used for a part of these payments. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing the financial intermediary and your salesperson to recommend the variable product, a share class and/or the Fund over another investment. Ask your salesperson or visit your financial intermediary's website for more information. Class P shares do not pay a service or distribution/service fee to PSD.
