  2. In addition, the following changes are being made to reflect the Financial Services Series’ investments in emerging market stocks, a new addition to the Series’ principal investment strategies:

 

  a. The second paragraph of the section titled “Principal Investment Strategies” in the Series’ Summary Section is hereby deleted and replaced with the following:

The Series may invest in U.S. and foreign companies, including those in emerging markets, American Depository Receipts (ADRs) and other U.S. dollar denominated securities of foreign issuers. The Series may invest in stocks of small, large or mid-size companies. The Series may purchase shares of exchange-traded funds (ETFs), including to establish a diversified position in a particular sector of the market or to be fully invested while awaiting an opportunity to purchase securities directly. The Advisor believes that purchasing ETFs in such a manner may allow the Series to invest in a particular sector of the market more efficiently than would otherwise be possible.

 

  b. The following bullet point is added to the end of the third paragraph in the section titled “Principal Risks of Investing in the Series” in the Series’ Summary Section:

 

   

Investments in emerging market countries may be more volatile than investments in more developed markets.

 

  c. The table provided in the section of the Prospectus titled “More Information About the Series’ Principal Risks” is hereby revised to show that “emerging market risk” now applies to the Financial Services Series.
