Fees and Expenses of the Fund
This table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy and hold shares of the Fund. The table below does not reflect expenses and charges that are, or may be, imposed under your variable annuity contract or variable life insurance policy. For information on these charges, please refer to the applicable contract or policy prospectus.

1   PLFA has contractually agreed to waive 0.015% (rounded in fee table) of its management fee through April 30, 2014. The agreement will terminate: (i) if the investment advisory agreement is terminated, (ii) upon ninety days’ prior written notice by the Fund, or (iii) if the sub-advisory agreement with Invesco Advisers, Inc. is terminated.
 
Examples
The Examples are intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other Funds of the Trust or other mutual funds. Each Example assumes that you invest $10,000 for the time periods indicated, that your investment has an average annual return of 5%, that all dividends and distributions are reinvested, and that the Fund’s annual operating expenses remain as stated in the previous table for the time periods shown. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, the Examples show what your costs would be based on these assumptions.
 
These Examples do not reflect fees and expenses of any variable annuity contract or variable life insurance policy, and would be higher if they did. Keep in mind that this is only an estimate; actual expenses and performance may vary.

Portfolio Turnover
The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs. These costs, which are not reflected in Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the Examples, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the portfolio turnover rate was 29.73% of the average value of the Fund.
 
Principal Investment Strategies
The sub-adviser invests primarily in common stocks. The sub-adviser focuses primarily on the security’s potential for capital growth and income, emphasizing a value style of investing seeking well-established, undervalued companies, which may be medium or large-sized companies.
 
The Fund may invest up to 25% of its assets in securities of foreign issuers, including American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”), European Depositary Receipts (“EDRs”), Global Depositary Receipts (“GDRs”) and those in emerging market countries.
 
The sub-adviser may use foreign currency forwards, which are sold to hedge against currency fluctuations.
 
The sub-adviser typically sells a holding when its assessment of the capital growth and income potential of such holding materially changes.
 
Principal Risks
As with any mutual fund, the value of the Fund’s investments, and therefore the value of your shares, may go up or down. Accordingly, you could lose money. The Fund may be affected by the following principal risks:
 
•  Active Management Risk: There is no guarantee that a Manager’s principal investment strategies and techniques, as well as particular investment decisions, will achieve a Fund’s investment goal, which could have an adverse impact on such Fund’s performance generally, relative to other funds with similar investment goals or relative to its benchmark.
 
•  Currency Risk: Securities denominated in foreign currencies may be affected by changes in rates of exchange between those currencies and the U.S. dollar. Currency exchange rates may be volatile and may be affected by, among other factors, the general economic conditions of a country, the actions of the U.S. and foreign governments or central banks, the imposition of currency controls, and speculation. A decline in the value of a foreign currency versus the U.S. dollar reduces the value in U.S. dollars of investments denominated in that foreign currency.
 
•  Derivatives Risk: Derivatives may be riskier than other types of investments and may increase a Fund’s volatility. Derivatives may experience large, sudden or unpredictable changes in value or liquidity and may be difficult to sell or unwind. Derivatives are also subject to leverage risk and the risk of a counterparty being unable to perform its contractual obligations. The Fund may lose more money using derivatives than it would have lost if it had invested directly in the security or index on which the derivative is based. Derivatives may not perform as expected, so a Fund may not realize the intended benefits. When used for hedging, the change in value of a derivative may not correlate as expected with the currency, security or other risk being hedged. In addition, derivatives may be difficult to value and may expose a Fund to risks of mispricing.
 
•  Emerging Markets Risk: Investments in or exposure to investments in emerging markets, such as those in Latin America, Asia, the Middle East, Eastern Europe and Africa, may be riskier than investments in or exposure to investments in the U.S. and certain developed markets for many reasons, including smaller market capitalizations, greater price volatility, less liquidity, political and economic instability, less governmental regulation of the financial industry and markets, and less stringent financial reporting and accounting standards and controls.
 
•  Equity Securities Risk: Stock markets are volatile. The price of equity securities tends to go up or down in value, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably, in response to many factors, which may be due to the particular issuer, its industry or broader economic or market events.
 
•  Foreign Markets Risk: Exposure to foreign markets through issuers can involve additional risks relating to market, economic, political, regulatory, geopolitical, or other conditions. These factors can make foreign investments more volatile and less liquid than U.S. investments. In addition, foreign markets can react differently to these conditions than the U.S. market. Markets and economies throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected, and conditions or events in one market, country or region may adversely impact investments or issuers in another market, country or region.



 

 
•  Forward Commitments Risk: Securities or currencies whose terms are defined on a date in the future or transactions that are scheduled to settle on a date in the future (beyond usual and customary settlement), called forward commitments, as well as when-issued securities, are subject to risk of default or bankruptcy of the counterparty. In forward commitment or when-issued transactions, if the counterparty fails to consummate the transaction, a Fund may miss the opportunity of obtaining a price or yield considered to be advantageous.
 
•  Issuer Risk: The value of a security or instrument may decline for reasons directly related to the issuer, such as management, performance, financial leverage and reduced demand for the issuer’s goods or services.
 
•  Large-Capitalization Companies Risk: Large-capitalization companies tend to have more stable prices than small- or mid-capitalization companies, but are still subject to the risks of equity securities. The prices of large-capitalization companies may not rise as much as the prices of companies with smaller market capitalizations.
 
•  Leverage Risk: Leverage is investment exposure which exceeds the initial amount invested. The loss on a leveraged investment may far exceed a Fund’s principal amount invested. Leverage can magnify a Fund’s gains and losses and therefore increase its volatility. The use of leverage may result in the Fund having to liquidate portfolio holdings when it may not be advantageous to do so.
 
•  Market and Regulatory Risk: Events in the financial markets and in the economy may cause volatility and uncertainty and may affect performance. Events in one market may adversely impact other markets. Future events may impact a Fund in unforeseen ways. Traditionally liquid investments may experience periods of diminished liquidity. During a general downturn in the financial markets, multiple asset classes may decline in value simultaneously. Governmental and regulatory actions, including tax law changes, may impair portfolio management and have unexpected consequences on particular markets, strategies, or investments.
 
•  Mid-Capitalization Companies Risk: Mid-capitalization companies may be riskier and more susceptible to price swings than larger companies. Mid-capitalization companies may have a shorter history of operations, a more limited ability to raise capital, may have inexperienced management and limited product lines, and more speculative prospects for future growth or sustained earnings or market share than larger, more established companies.
 
•  Price Volatility Risk: The market value of a Fund’s investments will go up or down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably, or may fail to rise, as a result of market conditions or for reasons specific to a particular issuer.
 
•  Redemption Risk: Because the Fund may serve as an Underlying Fund of the Portfolio Optimization Portfolios and thus a significant percentage of its outstanding shares may be held by the Portfolio Optimization Portfolios, a change in asset allocation by a Portfolio Optimization Portfolio could result in large redemptions out of the Fund, causing potential increases in expenses to the Fund and sale of securities in a short timeframe, both of which could negatively impact performance.
 
•  Regulatory Impact Risk: Certain financial instruments are subject to extensive government regulation, which may change unexpectedly and frequently and may impact a Fund significantly.
 
•  Value Companies Risk: Value companies are those that are thought to be undervalued and that a company’s stock is trading for less than its intrinsic value. There is a risk that the determination that a stock is undervalued is not correct or is not recognized in the market.
 
Performance
The bar chart and table below provide some indication of the risk of investing in the Fund by showing changes in the performance of the Fund from year to year and showing how the Fund’s returns compare to a broad-based market index. The bar chart shows the performance of the Fund’s Class I shares. Returns do not reflect fees and expenses of any variable annuity contract or variable life insurance policy, and would be lower if they did. Past performance is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future. Performance reflects fee waivers that were in effect during the periods presented.

Purchase and Sale of Shares
Class I shares of the Fund are offered at NAV and are available only as underlying investment options for variable life insurance and variable annuity products (“variable products”) issued by Pacific Life and PL&A. You do not buy, sell or exchange shares of the Funds – you choose investment options through your variable product. The insurance companies then invest in the Funds if you choose them as investment options, and redeem shares of the Funds if you choose to decrease those investment options. Any minimum initial or subsequent investment requirements and procedures for purchase or redemption of shares of the Funds that apply to your variable product should be described in the prospectus for the variable product. Class P shares of the Fund are only available to the Pacific Dynamix Portfolios and Portfolio Optimization Portfolios.
 
Tax Information
Because the only shareholders of the Funds are the insurance companies offering the variable products or the Pacific Dynamix and Portfolio Optimization Portfolios, no discussion is included here about the federal income tax consequences at the shareholder level. The federal income tax consequences for purchasers of a variable product are described in the prospectus for the variable product.
 
Payments to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries
Pacific Select Distributors, Inc. (“PSD”), the Distributor for the Funds and for the variable products, pays commissions and related compensation to the broker-dealers or other financial intermediaries that sell the variable products. Class I shares of the Funds pay a service fee to PSD that can be used for a part of these payments. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing the financial intermediary and your salesperson to recommend the variable contract and the Funds over another investment. Ask your salesperson for more information. Class P shares, which are only available to the Pacific Dynamix Portfolios and Portfolio Optimization Portfolios, do not pay a service fee to PSD.
