Performance Narrative [Text Block]	The bar chart and table provide some indication of the risks of investing in the Portfolio by showing changes in the Portfolio's performance from year to year and by showing how the Portfolio's average annual returns for 1, 5, and 10 years compare with those of a broad-based securities market index that reflects the performance of the overall market applicable to the Portfolio and an additional index that represents the market sectors in which the Portfolio primarily invests.Past performance does not mean that the Portfolio will achieve similar results in the future.The annual returns and average annual returns shown in the chart and table are after deduction of expenses and do not include Contract charges. If Contract charges were included, the returns shown would have been lower than those shown. Consult your Contract prospectus for information about Contract charges.The table also demonstrates how the Portfolio's performance compares to the returns of a custom blended index which consists of the S&P 500 Index (60%), Bloomberg US Aggregate Bond Index (35%) and FTSE 3-Month US Treasury Bill Index (5%). The Portfolio’s investment manager determined the weight of each index comprising the custom blended index. Annual return information in the bar chart is provided only for Class I shares. Because all of the Portfolio’s shares are invested in the same portfolio of securities, annual returns for Class III shares would be lower because Class III shares do not have the same expenses as Class I shares.
