The Fund's statement of additional information may be obtained, free of charge, in the same manner as the Fund's prospectus. This summary prospectus should be read together with your variable contract prospectus (or other disclosure document) or plan documents.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE. The Fund seeks a high level of current income consistent with growth of capital.

YOUR EXPENSES. The table below describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, hold, and sell shares of the Fund. Please note that fees and expenses in this table and the example below do not include fees and expenses that will be applied at the variable contract level or by a qualified pension or retirement plan and would be higher if such fees and expenses were included. You should review your variable contract prospectus (or other disclosure document) or plan documents for more information on those fees and expenses.

Annual Fund Operating Expenses (expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment):

Share Classes	IA	IB
Management fees	0.63%	0.63%
Distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees	None	0.25%
Other expenses	0.02%	0.02%
Total annual fund operating expenses	0.65%	0.90%

Example. The example below is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The example assumes that:

Your actual costs may be higher or lower. Based on these assumptions, you would pay the following expenses whether or not you were to redeem your investment at the end of each time period indicated:

Share Classes	Year 1	Year 3	Year 5	Year 10
IA	$66	$208	$362	$810
IB	$92	$287	$498	$1,108

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 rate may indicate higher transaction costs. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund's performance. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 27% of the average value of its portfolio.

PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGY. The Fund invests primarily in a portfolio of equity securities that typically have above average dividend yields and whose prospects for capital appreciation are considered favorable by the sub-adviser, Wellington Management Company LLP ("Wellington Management"). Under normal market and economic conditions, at least 80% of the Fund's net assets are invested in dividend paying equity securities. The Fund tends to focus on securities of larger, well-established companies with market capitalizations similar to those of companies in the S&P 500 Index. The Fund may invest up to 20% of its net assets in securities of foreign issuers and non-dollar securities. The Fund's portfolio seeks to be broadly diversified by company and industry. Based on market or economic conditions, the Fund may, through its stock selection process, focus in one or more sectors of the market.

Wellington Management uses fundamental analysis to evaluate a security for purchase or sale by the Fund. As part of this analysis, Wellington Management evaluates a company's ability to sustain and potentially increase its dividend payments. Wellington Management also evaluates a company's free cash flow, business environment, management quality, balance sheet, income statement, anticipated earnings, revenues, and other related measures or indicators of value. Wellington Management also favors securities that appear to be undervalued in the marketplace. Wellington Management also may consider financially material environmental, social, and/or governance ("ESG") characteristics (where available for a company) to assess the risk and return potential of a company.

PRINCIPAL RISKS. The principal risks of investing in the Fund are described below. When you sell your shares they may be worth more or less than what you paid for them, which means that you could lose money as a result of your investment. 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. As with any fund, there is no guarantee that the Fund will achieve its investment objective.

Market Risk - Market risk is the risk that one or more markets in which the Fund invests will go down in value, including the possibility that the markets will go down sharply and unpredictably. Securities of a company may decline in value due to its financial prospects and activities, including certain operational impacts, such as data breaches and cybersecurity attacks. Securities may also decline in value due to general market and economic movements and trends, including adverse changes to credit markets, or as a result of other events such as geopolitical events, natural disasters, or widespread pandemics (such as COVID-19) or other adverse public health developments.

Equity Risk - The risk that the price of equity or equity related securities may decline due to changes in a company's financial condition and overall market and economic conditions.

Dividend Risk - Income provided by the Fund may be affected by changes in the dividend policies of the companies in which the Fund invests and the capital resources available for such payments at such companies. At times, the performance of dividend-paying companies may lag the performance of other companies or the broader market as a whole. In addition, the dividend payments of the companies in which the Fund invests may vary over time, and there is no guarantee that a company will pay a dividend at all.

Large Cap Securities Risk - The securities of large market capitalization companies may underperform other segments of the market because such companies may be less responsive to competitive challenges and opportunities and may be unable to attain high growth rates during periods of economic expansion.

Value Investing Style Risk - Using a value investing style to select investments involves special risks. Overlooked or otherwise undervalued securities entail a significant risk of never attaining their potential value or may even be overpriced. Also, the value investing style may over time go in and out of favor. At times when the value investing style is out of favor, the Fund may underperform other equity funds that use different investing styles. "Value" securities can be undervalued by the market for long periods of time.

Active Investment Management Risk - The risk that, if the sub-adviser's investment strategy does not perform as expected, the Fund could underperform its peers or lose money. Although the sub-adviser considers several factors when making investment decisions, the sub-adviser may not evaluate every factor prior to investing in a company or issuer, and the sub-adviser may determine that certain factors are more significant than others.

Foreign Investments Risk - Investments in foreign securities may be riskier, more volatile, and less liquid than investments in U.S. securities. Differences between the U.S. and foreign regulatory regimes and securities markets, including the less stringent investor protection, less stringent accounting, corporate governance, financial reporting and disclosure standards of some foreign markets, as well as political and economic developments in foreign countries and regions and the U.S. (including the imposition of sanctions, tariffs, or other governmental restrictions), may affect the value of the Fund's investments in foreign securities. Changes in currency exchange rates may also adversely affect the Fund's foreign investments.

Currency Risk - The risk that the value of the Fund's investments in foreign securities or currencies will be affected by the value of the applicable currency relative to the U.S. dollar. When the Fund sells a foreign currency or foreign currency denominated security, its value may be worth less in U.S. dollars even if the investment increases in value in its local market. U.S. dollar-denominated securities of foreign issuers may also be affected by currency risk, as the revenue earned by issuers of these securities may also be affected by changes in the issuer's local currency.

Sector Risk - To the extent the Fund invests more heavily in a particular sector or sectors, its performance will be especially sensitive to developments that significantly affect those sectors. Individual sectors may be more volatile, and may perform differently, from the broader market.

ESG Integration Risk - Integrating financially material ESG analysis into the investment process carries the risk that the Fund may perform differently from funds that do not integrate ESG into their analysis, or funds that evaluate different ESG characteristics. ESG characteristics are one of several factors that may be considered and as a result, the Fund's investments may not have favorable ESG characteristics or high ESG ratings.

Large Shareholder Transaction Risk - The Fund may experience adverse effects when certain large shareholders redeem or purchase large amounts of shares of the Fund. Such redemptions may cause the Fund to sell securities at times when it would not otherwise do so or borrow money (at a cost to the Fund), which may negatively impact the Fund's performance and liquidity. Similarly, large purchases may adversely affect the Fund's performance to the extent that the Fund is delayed in investing new cash and is required to maintain a larger cash position than it ordinarily would. These transactions may also increase transaction costs.

The Fund is subject to certain other risks. For more information regarding risks and investments, please see "Additional Information Regarding Investment Strategies and Risks" and "More Information About Risks" in the Fund's statutory prospectus.
