Supplement to the Summary Prospectuses and Prospectuses, each dated May 1, 2021, as amended and supplemented
 
Effective immediately, the following changes apply to the Summary Prospectuses and Prospectuses for U.S. Equity Index PutWrite Strategy Portfolio (the “Fund”):

(1)  The first paragraph of the “Principal Investment Strategies” section of the Fund’s Summary Prospectuses and Prospectuses is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
(2)  The following is added to the “Principal Investment Risks” section of the Fund’s Summary Prospectuses and Prospectuses:

Structured Note Risk. Structured notes are notes where the principal and/or interest is determined by reference to the performance of a specific asset, benchmark asset, financial instrument, market or interest rate. Generally, investments in such notes are used as a substitute for positions in underlying indicators and involve many of the same risks associated with a direct investment in the underlying indicator the notes seek to replicate. Structured notes may be exchange traded or traded over-the-counter and privately negotiated. Structured notes can have risks of both fixed income securities and derivatives transactions, including leverage risk. The interest and/or principal payments that may be made on a structured note may vary widely, depending on a variety of factors, including changes in the value of one or more specified reference instruments. The performance of structured notes will not replicate exactly the performance of the underlying indicator that the notes seek to replicate due to transaction costs and other expenses. Structured notes are subject to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the issuer of the structured note will not fulfill its contractual obligation to complete the transaction with the Fund. Investments in structured notes, including credit-linked notes, involve risks including interest rate risk, credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk. Structured notes may be illiquid and may have a limited trading market, making it difficult to value them or sell them at an acceptable price.

(3)  The following is added to the “Additional Information about Principal Investment Risks” section of the Fund’s Statutory Prospectuses:

Structured notes are subject to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the issuer of the structured note will not fulfill its contractual obligation to complete

the transaction with the Fund. Investments in structured notes, including credit-linked notes, involve risks including interest rate risk, credit risk and market risk. Structured notes may be leveraged, increasing the volatility of each structured note’s value relative to the change in the reference instrument. Structured notes may also be less liquid and more difficult to price accurately than less complex securities and instruments or more traditional debt securities. The secondary market for structured notes could be illiquid making them difficult to sell when the Fund determines to sell them. The possible lack of a liquid secondary market for structured notes and the resulting inability of the Fund to sell a structured note could expose the Fund to losses.

(5)  The following is added to the “Descriptions of Indices” section of the Prospectus:

The Fund seeks to achieve its goal primarily through a strategy of writing collateralized put options on U.S. indices, including the S&P 500® Index and other indices in the S&P 500® suite of indices, and exchange traded funds (“ETFs”). The Fund attempts to generate returns through the receipt of option premiums from selling puts, as well as through investments in fixed income instruments, which collectively are intended to reduce volatility relative to what it would be if the Fund held the underlying equity index on which the options are written. The Fund’s investments in fixed income instruments may be of any duration, may include variable and floating rate instruments, and may include U.S. Treasury securities and other securities issued by the U.S. government and its agencies and instrumentalities, debt securities issued by corporations or trust entities, cash and cash equivalents, structured notes, mortgage-backed securities and asset-backed securities. The Fund also may invest in money market mutual funds and ETFs.
