Fund Description

To achieve the International Large Cap Growth Portfolio’s investment objective, the Advisor implements an integrated investment approach that combines research, portfolio design, portfolio management, and trading functions. As further described below, the Portfolio’s design emphasizes long-term drivers of expected returns identified by the Advisor’s research, while balancing risk through broad diversification across companies and sectors. The Advisor’s portfolio management and trading processes further balance those long-term drivers of expected returns with shorter-term drivers of expected returns and trading costs.

The International Large Cap Growth Portfolio is designed to purchase securities of large, non-U.S. companies in countries with developed markets that the Advisor determines to have high profitability and high relative prices compared to other non-U.S. large cap companies at the time of purchase. A company’s market capitalization is the

number of its shares outstanding times its price per share. Under a market capitalization weighted approach, companies with higher market capitalizations generally represent a larger proportion of the Portfolio than companies with relatively lower market capitalizations. Securities are considered higher relative price (growth) stocks primarily because a company’s shares have a high price in relation to their book value (a “price to book ratio”) when compared with other non-U.S. large cap companies. The Advisor may overweight certain stocks, including smaller companies, lower relative price (value) stocks, and/or higher profitability stocks within the large-cap growth segment of developed ex U.S. markets. In assessing relative price, the Advisor may consider additional factors such as price to cash flow or price to earnings ratios. An equity issuer is considered to have high profitability because it has high earnings or profits from operations in relation to its book value or assets. The criteria the Advisor uses for assessing relative price or profitability are subject to change from time to time.

The International Large Cap Growth Portfolio intends to purchase securities of non-U.S. large cap companies that are eligible based on their relative price and expected profitability and are associated with developed market countries that the Advisor has designated as approved markets. As a non-fundamental policy, under normal circumstances, the Portfolio will invest at least 80% of its net assets in securities of large companies in the particular markets in which it invests. The Advisor determines the minimum market capitalization of a large company with respect to each country or region in which the Portfolio invests. In the countries or regions authorized for investment, the Advisor first ranks eligible companies listed on selected exchanges based on the companies’ market capitalizations. The Advisor then determines the universe of eligible stocks by defining the minimum market capitalization of a large company that may be purchased by the Portfolio with respect to each country or region. Based on market capitalization data as of December 31, 2023, for the Portfolio, the market capitalization of a large company in any country in which the Portfolio invests would be $1,457 million or above. This threshold will vary by country or region. For example, based on market capitalization data as of December 31, 2023, the Advisor would consider a large company in the European Economic and Monetary Union (“EMU”) to have a market capitalization of at least $7,735 million, a large company in Norway to have a market capitalization of at least $1,687 million, and a large company in Switzerland to have a market capitalization of at least $9,385 million. These thresholds will change due to market conditions.

The Advisor may also increase or reduce the International Large Cap Growth Portfolio’s exposure to an eligible company, or exclude a company, based on shorter-term considerations, such as a company’s price momentum and short-run reversals. In addition, the Advisor seeks to reduce trading costs using a flexible trading approach that looks for opportunities to participate in the available market liquidity, while managing turnover and explicit transaction costs.

The International Large Cap Growth Portfolio may gain exposure to companies associated with approved markets by purchasing equity securities in the form of depositary receipts, which may be listed or traded outside the issuer’s domicile country. The Portfolio also may purchase or sell futures contracts and options on futures contracts for foreign and U.S. equity securities and indices, to increase or decrease equity market exposure based on actual or expected cash inflows to or outflows from the Portfolio. Because many of the Portfolio’s investments may be denominated in foreign currencies, the Portfolio may enter into foreign currency exchange transactions, including foreign currency forward contracts, in connection with the settlement of foreign securities or to transfer cash balances from one currency to another currency.

The International Large Cap Growth Portfolio may lend its portfolio securities to generate additional income.
