Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance
For the 12-month reporting period ended December 31, 2025, the
Fund
returned 14.44%, as compared to its broad-based securities market index, the Russell 1000
®
Index, which returned 17.37% and an additional index with investment characteristics similar to those of the Fund, the Russell 1000
®
Growth Index, which returned 18.56% over the same period.
The Fund’s investment portfolio is managed by two sub-advisers: J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (“JPMorgan”) and Victory Capital Management, Inc. (“Victory”).
JPMorgan Summary of Performance
Performance during the period was affected by elevated volatility early in the year, when a reduced weighting in high-growth technology with elevated expectations supported the portfolio, followed by a shift in market leadership after the April market low that created headwinds. A narrow group of large-cap growth stocks, including the “Magnificent Seven” and a small number of adjacent AI-related companies, accounted for a significant portion of market returns during the latter part of the year, and an underweight position and stock selection within this cohort were key detractors, along with idiosyncratic security selection elsewhere in the portfolio. An overweight position in Oracle detracted as mixed cloud revenue results, margin pressure, and higher-than-expected capital expenditures weighed on the stock, while an underweight position in Nvidia also detracted amid strong demand for AI-related products. Positioning in Eli Lilly was also challenged by increased volatility later in the year. These effects were partially offset by contributions from select holdings, including an underweight position in Apple, where delayed AI initiatives and other company-specific concerns weighed on shares, as well as from Goldman Sachs. Insmed was also a contributor, supported by the successful launch of its Brinsupri treatment, which generated strong early sales and prescription metrics. Consistent with the investment process, portfolio positioning evolved throughout the year through active risk management and new initiations across sectors, with a continued focus on technology opportunities tied to AI infrastructure, as well as healthcare, fintech, and other growth companies with improving fundamentals.
Victory Summary of Performance
Performance during the period was affected by three market dynamics that influenced portfolio positioning and security selection. The market rewarded stocks in the second and fourth valuation quintiles while penalizing the third quintile, which consists of reasonably priced quality growth companies and represents the portfolio’s core positioning. In addition, the portfolio’s underweight exposure to premium-valued AI infrastructure companies such as Broadcom and Palantir detracted as these stocks attracted strong investor attention despite elevated valuations. Companies integrating AI capabilities, including portfolio holdings Pinterest and Salesforce, also faced investor skepticism as markets adopted a more cautious, wait-and-see approach toward AI-driven revenue acceleration. Security selection was the largest contributor to performance, led by Amphenol, which benefited from strong demand for its fiber optic connection products tied to AI-related investment. The largest detractor to performance was an underweight in Nvidia, as continued demand for its AI chips, including the new Blackwell platform, supported the stock; the portfolio remained underweight due to concerns that pricing pressure may increase as competition intensifies.

The Fund’s investment portfolio is managed by two sub-advisers: Putnam Investment Management, LLC (“Putnam”) and T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. (“T. Rowe Price”).
Putnam Summary of Performance
Performance during the period was driven primarily by security selection, which was the largest contributor, particularly within financials, utilities, and consumer discretionary. Sector allocation decisions detracted from performance, particularly an underweight positioning in communication services, which was among the stronger-performing areas of the market. Security selection within information technology and communication services also detracted. Overall, portfolio results reflected the combined impact of bottom-up security selection and sector positioning within a market environment characterized by solid economic growth and continued investor focus on select areas of the equity market.
T. Rowe Price Summary of Performance
Performance during the period was affected by sector positioning and security selection. The materials sector detracted from performance due to unfavorable stock selection, while stock selection in the consumer staples sector also detracted. These effects were partially offset by contributions from the industrials and business services sector, where favorable stock selection supported performance, as well as from the consumer discretionary sector, which benefited from an underweight allocation and positive security selection.

Index, which returned 17.37% and an additional
index
with investment characteristics similar to those of the Fund, the Russell 1000
®
Value Index, which returned 15.91% over the same period.
The Fund’s investment portfolio is managed by two sub-advisers: Putnam Investment Management, LLC (“Putnam”) and T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. (“T. Rowe Price”).
Putnam Summary of Performance
Performance during the period was driven primarily by security selection, which was the largest contributor, particularly within financials, utilities, and consumer discretionary. Sector allocation decisions detracted from performance, particularly an underweight positioning in communication services, which was among the stronger-performing areas of the market. Security selection within information technology and communication services also detracted. Overall, portfolio results reflected the combined impact of bottom-up security selection and sector positioning within a market environment characterized by solid economic growth and continued investor focus on select areas of the equity market.
T. Rowe Price Summary of Performance
Performance during the period was affected by sector positioning and security selection. The materials sector detracted from performance due to unfavorable stock selection, while stock selection in the consumer staples sector also detracted. These effects were partially offset by contributions from the industrials and business services sector, where favorable stock selection supported performance, as well as from the consumer discretionary sector, which benefited from an underweight allocation and positive security selection.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance
For the 12-month reporting period ended December 31, 2025, the Fund returned 17.64%, as compared to its broad-based securities market index, the S&P 500
®
Index, which returned 17.88% over the same period.
The Fund’s investment portfolio is managed by one sub-adviser: Keyridge Asset Management Limited (“Keyridge”) (formerly known as Irish Life Investment Managers Limited).
Keyridge Summary of Performance
Performance during the period was affected by heightened volatility early in the year associated with U.S. tariff policy, which contributed to a broad market drawdown, followed by a recovery beginning in April as trade tensions eased. A resilient economic backdrop, upward revisions to growth expectations, robust earnings, continued optimism around AI, and the resumption of the Federal Reserve’s rate cutting cycle were key factors influencing performance. Nvidia, a key supplier of chips powering AI technology, was the largest contributor to performance as robust demand supported strong earnings growth, which was well in excess of market expectations. Alphabet, a communications and technology company, also contributed to performance due to the implementation of AI technology and continued growth in cloud-based revenue. United Health Group, an insurance company, detracted the most from performance due to earnings decline and increased policy payouts. Fiserv Inc., a payments technology company, also detracted from performance where weaker consumer spending weighed on earnings.
