If these sales charges (loads) were included, your costs would be higher. 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 may indicate higher transaction costs. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was __% of the average value of its whole portfolio. Instructions. A.3.instructions.6 New Funds.

Bonds include, but are not limited to, government bonds, corporate bonds, convertible bonds, mortgage-backed securities, and zero-coupon bonds. The Portfolio will invest at least 65% of its assets in investment grade debt securities and will maintain an average-weighted effective maturity of five to ten years. The Portfolio will limit its investment in high-yield/high-risk bonds, also known as "junk bonds," to 35% or less of its net assets. The Portfolio generates total return from a combination of current income and capital appreciation, but income is usually the dominant portion. Due to the nature of the securities in which the Portfolio invests, it may have relatively high portfolio turnover compared to other Portfolios.</p> <p>In addition to considering economic factors such as the effect of interest rates on the Portfolio&#8217;s investments, the portfolio managers apply a &#8220;bottom up&#8221; approach in choosing investments.

Typically, the values of fixed-income securities change inversely with prevailing interest rates. Therefore, a fundamental risk of fixed-income securities is interest rate risk, which is the risk that their value will generally decline as prevailing interest rates rise, which may cause the Portfolio&#8217;s net asset value to likewise decrease, and vice versa. How specific fixed-income securities may react to changes in interest rates will depend on the specific characteristics of each security. Fixed-income securities are also subject to credit risk, prepayment risk, valuation risk, and liquidity risk.</p> <p><b><i>Mortgage-Backed Securities Risk.</i></b> Mortgage-backed securities tend to be more sensitive to changes in interest rates than other types of securities. Investments in mortgage-backed securities are subject to both extension risk, where borrowers extend the duration of their mortgages in times of rising interest rates, and prepayment risk, where borrowers pay off their mortgages sooner than expected in times of declining interest rates. These risks may reduce the Portfolio&#8217;s returns. In addition, investments in mortgage-backed securities, including those comprised of subprime mortgages, may be subject to a higher degree of credit risk, valuation risk, and liquidity risk than various other types of fixed-income securities.</p> <p><b><i>High-Yield/High-Risk Bond Risk.</i></b> High-yield/high-risk bonds may be more sensitive than other types of bonds to economic changes, political changes, or adverse developments specific to the company that issued the bond, which may adversely affect their value.</p><p><b><i>Portfolio Turnover Risk.</i></b> Increased portfolio turnover may result in higher costs, which may have a negative effect on the Portfolio&#8217;s performance.</p> <p><b><i>Foreign Exposure Risk.</i></b> The Portfolio may have significant exposure to foreign markets, including emerging markets, which can be more volatile than the U.S. markets. As a result, its returns and net asset value may be affected to a large degree by fluctuations in currency exchange rates or political or economic conditions in a particular country. A market swing in one or more countries or regions where the Portfolio has invested a significant amount of its assets may have a greater effect on the Portfolio&#8217;s performance than it would in a more geographically diversified portfolio. The Portfolio&#8217;s investments in emerging market countries may involve risks greater than, or in addition to, the risks of investing in more developed countries.</p> <p><b><i>Securities Lending Risk.</i></b> The Portfolio may seek to earn additional income through lending its securities to certain qualified broker-dealers and institutions. There is the risk that when portfolio securities are lent, the securities may not be returned on a timely basis, and the Portfolio may experience delays and costs in recovering the security or gaining access to the collateral provided to the Portfolio to collateralize the loan. If the Portfolio is unable to recover a security on loan, the Portfolio may use the collateral to purchase replacement securities in the market. There is a risk that the value of the collateral could decrease below the cost of the replacement security by the time the replacement investment is made, resulting in a loss to the Portfolio.</p> <p><i>An investment in the Portfolio is not a bank deposit and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.</i></p>falsefalsefalsefalsefalseOtherus-types:textBlockItemTypestringNarrative Risk Disclosure.

If these sales charges (loads) were included, your costs would be higher. 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 may indicate higher transaction costs. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was __% of the average value of its whole portfolio. Instructions. A.3.instructions.6 New Funds.

Bonds include, but are not limited to, government bonds, corporate bonds, convertible bonds, mortgage-backed securities, and zero-coupon bonds. The Portfolio will invest at least 65% of its assets in investment grade debt securities and will maintain an average-weighted effective maturity of five to ten years. The Portfolio will limit its investment in high-yield/high-risk bonds, also known as "junk bonds," to 35% or less of its net assets. The Portfolio generates total return from a combination of current income and capital appreciation, but income is usually the dominant portion. Due to the nature of the securities in which the Portfolio invests, it may have relatively high portfolio turnover compared to other Portfolios.</p> <p>In addition to considering economic factors such as the effect of interest rates on the Portfolio's investments, the portfolio managers apply a "bottom up" approach in choosing investments.

Typically, the values of fixed-income securities change inversely with prevailing interest rates. Therefore, a fundamental risk of fixed-income securities is interest rate risk, which is the risk that their value will generally decline as prevailing interest rates rise, which may cause the Portfolio&#8217;s net asset value to likewise decrease, and vice versa. How specific fixed-income securities may react to changes in interest rates will depend on the specific characteristics of each security. Fixed-income securities are also subject to credit risk, prepayment risk, valuation risk, and liquidity risk.</p> <p><b><i>Mortgage-Backed Securities Risk.</i></b> Mortgage-backed securities tend to be more sensitive to changes in interest rates than other types of securities. Investments in mortgage-backed securities are subject to both extension risk, where borrowers extend the duration of their mortgages in times of rising interest rates, and prepayment risk, where borrowers pay off their mortgages sooner than expected in times of declining interest rates. These risks may reduce the Portfolio&#8217;s returns. In addition, investments in mortgage-backed securities, including those comprised of subprime mortgages, may be subject to a higher degree of credit risk, valuation risk, and liquidity risk than various other types of fixed-income securities.</p> <p><b><i>High-Yield/High-Risk Bond Risk.</i></b> High-yield/high-risk bonds may be more sensitive than other types of bonds to economic changes, political changes, or adverse developments specific to the company that issued the bond, which may adversely affect their value.</p> <p><b><i>Portfolio Turnover Risk.</i></b> Increased portfolio turnover may result in higher costs, which may have a negative effect on the Portfolio&#8217;s performance.</p> <p><b><i>Foreign Exposure Risk.</i></b> The Portfolio may have significant exposure to foreign markets, including emerging markets, which can be more volatile than the U.S. markets. As a result, its returns and net asset value may be affected to a large degree by fluctuations in currency exchange rates or political or economic conditions in a particular country. A market swing in one or more countries or regions where the Portfolio has invested a significant amount of its assets may have a greater effect on the Portfolio&#8217;s performance than it would in a more geographically diversified portfolio. The Portfolio&#8217;s investments in emerging market countries may involve risks greater than, or in addition to, the risks of investing in more developed countries.</p> <p><b><i>Securities Lending Risk.</i></b> The Portfolio may seek to earn additional income through lending its securities to certain qualified broker-dealers and institutions. There is the risk that when portfolio securities are lent, the securities may not be returned on a timely basis, and the Portfolio may experience delays and costs in recovering the security or gaining access to the collateral provided to the Portfolio to collateralize the loan. If the Portfolio is unable to recover a security on loan, the Portfolio may use the collateral to purchase replacement securities in the market. There is a risk that the value of the collateral could decrease below the cost of the replacement security by the time the replacement investment is made, resulting in a loss to the Portfolio.</p> <p><i>An investment in the Portfolio is not a bank deposit and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.</i></p>falsefalsefalsefalsefalseOtherus-types:textBlockItemTypestringNarrative Risk Disclosure.

The Portfolio's Service Shares commenced operations on December 31, 1999. The returns shown for the Service Shares for periods prior to December 31, 1999 reflect the historical performance of a different class of shares (the Institutional Shares), restated based on the Service Shares' estimated fees and expenses (ignoring any fee and expense limitations). The bar chart depicts the change in performance from year to year during the periods indicated, but does not include charges or expenses attributable to any insurance product, which would lower the performance illustrated. The Portfolio does not impose any sales or other charges that would affect total return computations. Total return figures include the effect of the Portfolio's expenses. The table compares the average annual returns for the Service Shares of the Portfolio for the periods indicated to a broad-based securities market index. The index is not actively managed and is not available for direct investment. All figures assume reinvestment of dividends and distributions.

The Portfolio normally invests in securities of issuers from several different countries, excluding the United States. Although the Portfolio intends to invest substantially all of its assets in issuers located outside the United States, it may at times invest in U.S. issuers, and it may, under unusual circumstances, invest all of its assets in a single country. The Portfolio may have significant exposure to emerging markets. The Portfolio may also invest in U.S. and foreign debt securities.</p><p>The portfolio manager applies a &#8220;bottom up&#8221; approach in choosing investments. In other words, the portfolio manager looks at companies one at a time to determine if a company is an attractive investment opportunity and if it is consistent with the Portfolio&#8217;s investment policies.</p><p>The Portfolio may invest its assets in derivatives, which are instruments that have a value derived from an underlying asset, such as stocks, bonds, commodities, currencies, interest rates, or market indices, as substitutes for securities in which the Portfolio invests. The Portfolio may use derivatives (by taking long and/or short positions) for different purposes, including hedging (to offset risks associated with an investment, currency exposure, or market conditions) and to earn income and enhance returns.</p><p> The Portfolio may lend portfolio securities on a short-term or long-term basis, in an amount equal to up to 1/3 of its total assets as determined at the time of the loan origination.</p>falsefalsefalsefalsefalseOtherus-types:textBlockItemTypestringPrincipal investment strategies of the Fund.

The Portfolio is designed for long-term investors seeking an equity portfolio, including common stocks. Common stocks tend to be more volatile than many other investment choices.</p> <p><b><i>Foreign Exposure Risk.</i></b> The Portfolio normally has significant exposure to foreign markets, including emerging markets, which can be more volatile than the U.S. markets. As a result, its returns and net asset value may be affected to a large degree by fluctuations in currency exchange rates or political or economic conditions in a particular country. A market swing in one or more countries or regions where the Portfolio has invested a significant amount of its assets may have a greater effect on the Portfolio&#8217;s performance than it would in a more geographically diversified portfolio. The Portfolio&#8217;s investments in emerging market countries may involve risks greater than, or in addition to, the risks of investing in more developed countries.</p> <p><b><i>Emerging Markets Risk.</i></b> The risks of foreign investing mentioned above are heightened when investing in emerging markets. Emerging markets securities are exposed to a number of additional risks, which may result from less government supervision and regulation of business and industry practices, stock exchanges, brokers, and listed companies, making these investments potentially more volatile in price and less liquid than investments in developed securities markets, resulting in greater risk to investors. In addition, the Portfolio&#8217;s investments may be denominated in foreign currencies and therefore, changes in the value of a country&#8217;s currency compared to the U.S. dollar may affect the value of the Portfolio&#8217;s investments. To the extent that the Portfolio invests a significant portion of its assets in the securities of issuers in or companies of a single country or region, it is more likely to be impacted by events or conditions affecting that country or region which could have a negative impact on the Portfolio&#8217;s performance. Some of the risks of investing directly in foreign and emerging market securities may be reduced when the Portfolio invests indirectly in foreign securities through various other investment vehicles including derivatives, which also involve specialized risks. As of December 31, 2010, approximately 24.1% of the Portfolio&#8217;s investments were in emerging markets.</p> <p><b><i>Market Risk.</i></b> The value of the Portfolio&#8217;s holdings may decrease if the value of an individual company or multiple companies in the Portfolio decreases or if the portfolio manager&#8217;s belief about a company&#8217;s intrinsic worth is incorrect. Further, regardless of how well individual companies perform, the value of the Portfolio&#8217;s holdings could also decrease if there are deteriorating economic or market conditions. It is important to understand that the value of your investment may fall, sometimes sharply, in response to changes in the market, and you could lose money.</p> <p><b><i> Growth Securities Risk.</i></b> Securities of companies perceived to be &#8220;growth&#8221; companies may be more volatile than other stocks and may involve special risks. The price of a &#8220;growth&#8221; security may be impacted if the company does not realize its anticipated potential or if there is a shift in the market to favor other types of securities.</p> <p><b><i>Derivatives Risk.</i></b> Derivatives can be highly volatile and involve risks in addition to the risks of the underlying referenced securities. Gains or losses from a derivative can be substantially greater than the derivative&#8217;s original cost, and can therefore involve leverage. Derivatives can be less liquid than other types of investments and entail the risk that the counterparty will default on its payment obligations to the Portfolio.</p> <p><b><i>Securities Lending Risk.</i></b> The Portfolio may seek to earn additional income through lending its securities to certain qualified broker-dealers and institutions. There is the risk that when portfolio securities are lent, the securities may not be returned on a timely basis, and the Portfolio may experience delays and costs in recovering the security or gaining access to the collateral provided to the Portfolio to collateralize the loan. If the Portfolio is unable to recover a security on loan, the Portfolio may use the collateral to purchase replacement securities in the market. There is a risk that the value of the collateral could decrease below the cost of the replacement security by the time the replacement investment is made, resulting in a loss to the Portfolio.</p> <p><i>An investment in the Portfolio is not a bank deposit and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.</i></p>falsefalsefalsefalsefalseOtherus-types:textBlockItemTypestringNarrative Risk Disclosure.

If these sales charges (loads) were included, your costs would be higher. 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 may indicate higher transaction costs. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund's performance.

The Portfolio normally invests in securities of issuers from several different countries, excluding the United States. Although the Portfolio intends to invest substantially all of its assets in issuers located outside the United States, it may at times invest in U.S. issuers, and it may, under unusual circumstances, invest all of its assets in a single country. The Portfolio may have significant exposure to emerging markets. The Portfolio may also invest in U.S. and foreign debt securities.</p> <p>The portfolio manager applies a "bottom up" approach in choosing investments. In other words, the portfolio manager looks at companies one at a time to determine if a company is an attractive investment opportunity and if it is consistent with the Portfolio's investment policies.</p> <p>The Portfolio may invest its assets in derivatives, which are instruments that have a value derived from an underlying asset, such as stocks, bonds, commodities, currencies, interest rates, or market indices, as substitutes for securities in which the Portfolio invests. The Portfolio may use derivatives (by taking long and/or short positions) for different purposes, including hedging (to offset risks associated with an investment, currency exposure, or market conditions) and to earn income and enhance returns.</p> <p>The Portfolio may lend portfolio securities on a short-term or long-term basis, in an amount equal to up to 1/3 of its total assets as determined at the time of the loan origination.</p>falsefalsefalsefalsefalseOtherus-types:textBlockItemTypestringPrincipal investment strategies of the Fund.

The Portfolio is designed for long-term investors seeking an equity portfolio, including common stocks. Common stocks tend to be more volatile than many other investment choices.</p> <p><b><i>Foreign Exposure Risk.</i></b> The Portfolio normally has significant exposure to foreign markets, including emerging markets, which can be more volatile than the U.S. markets. As a result, its returns and net asset value may be affected to a large degree by fluctuations in currency exchange rates or political or economic conditions in a particular country. A market swing in one or more countries or regions where the Portfolio has invested a significant amount of its assets may have a greater effect on the Portfolio&#8217;s performance than it would in a more geographically diversified portfolio. The Portfolio&#8217;s investments in emerging market countries may involve risks greater than, or in addition to, the risks of investing in more developed countries.</p> <p><b><i>Emerging Markets Risk.</i></b> The risks of foreign investing mentioned above are heightened when investing in emerging markets. Emerging markets securities are exposed to a number of additional risks, which may result from less government supervision and regulation of business and industry practices, stock exchanges, brokers, and listed companies, making these investments potentially more volatile in price and less liquid than investments in developed securities markets, resulting in greater risk to investors. In addition, the Portfolio&#8217;s investments may be denominated in foreign currencies and therefore, changes in the value of a country&#8217;s currency compared to the U.S. dollar may affect the value of the Portfolio&#8217;s investments. To the extent that the Portfolio invests a significant portion of its assets in the securities of issuers in or companies of a single country or region, it is more likely to be impacted by events or conditions affecting that country or region which could have a negative impact on the Portfolio&#8217;s performance. Some of the risks of investing directly in foreign and emerging market securities may be reduced when the Portfolio invests indirectly in foreign securities through various other investment vehicles including derivatives, which also involve specialized risks. As of December 31, 2010, approximately 24.1% of the Portfolio&#8217;s investments were in emerging markets.</p> <p><b><i>Market Risk.</i></b> The value of the Portfolio&#8217;s holdings may decrease if the value of an individual company or multiple companies in the Portfolio decreases or if the portfolio manager&#8217;s belief about a company&#8217;s intrinsic worth is incorrect. Further, regardless of how well individual companies perform, the value of the Portfolio&#8217;s holdings could also decrease if there are deteriorating economic or market conditions. It is important to understand that the value of your investment may fall, sometimes sharply, in response to changes in the market, and you could lose money.</p> <p><b><i>Growth Securities Risk.</i></b> Securities of companies perceived to be "growth" companies may be more volatile than other stocks and may involve special risks. The price of a "growth" security may be impacted if the company does not realize its anticipated potential or if there is a shift in the market to favor other types of securities.</p> <p><b><i>Derivatives Risk.</i></b> Derivatives can be highly volatile and involve risks in addition to the risks of the underlying referenced securities. Gains or losses from a derivative can be substantially greater than the derivative&#8217;s original cost, and can therefore involve leverage. Derivatives can be less liquid than other types of investments and entail the risk that the counterparty will default on its payment obligations to the Portfolio.</p> <p><b><i>Securities Lending Risk.</i></b> The Portfolio may seek to earn additional income through lending its securities to certain qualified broker-dealers and institutions. There is the risk that when portfolio securities are lent, the securities may not be returned on a timely basis, and the Portfolio may experience delays and costs in recovering the security or gaining access to the collateral provided to the Portfolio to collateralize the loan. If the Portfolio is unable to recover a security on loan, the Portfolio may use the collateral to purchase replacement securities in the market. There is a risk that the value of the collateral could decrease below the cost of the replacement security by the time the replacement investment is made, resulting in a loss to the Portfolio.</p> <p><i>An investment in the Portfolio is not a bank deposit and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.</i></p>falsefalsefalsefalsefalseOtherus-types:textBlockItemTypestringNarrative Risk Disclosure.

If these sales charges (loads) were included, your costs would be higher. 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 may indicate higher transaction costs. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was __% of the average value of its whole portfolio. Instructions. A.3.instructions.6 New Funds.

The Portfolio normally invests in securities of issuers from several different countries, excluding the United States. Although the Portfolio intends to invest substantially all of its assets in issuers located outside the United States, it may at times invest in U.S. issuers, and it may, under unusual circumstances, invest all of its assets in a single country. The Portfolio may have significant exposure to emerging markets. The Portfolio may also invest in U.S. and foreign debt securities.</p><p>The portfolio manager applies a &#8220;bottom up&#8221; approach in choosing investments. In other words, the portfolio manager looks at companies one at a time to determine if a company is an attractive investment opportunity and if it is consistent with the Portfolio&#8217;s investment policies.</p><p>The Portfolio may invest its assets in derivatives, which are instruments that have a value derived from an underlying asset, such as stocks, bonds, commodities, currencies, interest rates, or market indices, as substitutes for securities in which the Portfolio invests. The Portfolio may use derivatives (by taking long and/or short positions) for different purposes, including hedging (to offset risks associated with an investment, currency exposure, or market conditions) and to earn income and enhance returns.</p><p>The Portfolio may lend portfolio securities on a short-term or long-term basis, in an amount equal to up to 1/3 of its total assets as determined at the time of the loan origination.</p>falsefalsefalsefalsefalseOtherus-types:textBlockItemTypestringPrincipal investment strategies of the Fund.

The Portfolio is designed for long-term investors seeking an equity portfolio, including common stocks. Common stocks tend to be more volatile than many other investment choices.</p><p><b><i>Foreign Exposure Risk.</i></b> The Portfolio normally has significant exposure to foreign markets, including emerging markets, which can be more volatile than the U.S. markets. As a result, its returns and net asset value may be affected to a large degree by fluctuations in currency exchange rates or political or economic conditions in a particular country. A market swing in one or more countries or regions where the Portfolio has invested a significant amount of its assets may have a greater effect on the Portfolio&#8217;s performance than it would in a more geographically diversified portfolio. The Portfolio&#8217;s investments in emerging market countries may involve risks greater than, or in addition to, the risks of investing in more developed countries.</p><p><b><i>Emerging Markets Risk.</i></b> The risks of foreign investing mentioned above are heightened when investing in emerging markets. Emerging markets securities are exposed to a number of additional risks, which may result from less government supervision and regulation of business and industry practices, stock exchanges, brokers, and listed companies, making these investments potentially more volatile in price and less liquid than investments in developed securities markets, resulting in greater risk to investors. In addition, the Portfolio&#8217;s investments may be denominated in foreign currencies and therefore, changes in the value of a country&#8217;s currency compared to the U.S. dollar may affect the value of the Portfolio&#8217;s investments. To the extent that the Portfolio invests a significant portion of its assets in the securities of issuers in or companies of a single country or region, it is more likely to be impacted by events or conditions affecting that country or region which could have a negative impact on the Portfolio&#8217;s performance. Some of the risks of investing directly in foreign and emerging market securities may be reduced when the Portfolio invests indirectly in foreign securities through various other investment vehicles including derivatives, which also involve specialized risks. As of December 31, 2010, approximately 24.1% of the Portfolio&#8217;s investments were in emerging markets.</p><p><b><i>Market Risk.</i></b> The value of the Portfolio&#8217;s holdings may decrease if the value of an individual company or multiple companies in the Portfolio decreases or if the portfolio manager&#8217;s belief about a company&#8217;s intrinsic worth is incorrect. Further, regardless of how well individual companies perform, the value of the Portfolio&#8217;s holdings could also decrease if there are deteriorating economic or market conditions. It is important to understand that the value of your investment may fall, sometimes sharply, in response to changes in the market, and you could lose money.</p><p><b><i>Growth Securities Risk.</i></b> Securities of companies perceived to be &#8220;growth&#8221; companies may be more volatile than other stocks and may involve special risks. The price of a &#8220;growth&#8221; security may be impacted if the company does not realize its anticipated potential or if there is a shift in the market to favor other types of securities.</p><p><b><i>Derivatives Risk.</i></b> Derivatives can be highly volatile and involve risks in addition to the risks of the underlying referenced securities. Gains or losses from a derivative can be substantially greater than the derivative&#8217;s original cost, and can therefore involve leverage. Derivatives can be less liquid than other types of investments and entail the risk that the counterparty will default on its payment obligations to the Portfolio.</p><p><b><i>Securities Lending Risk.</i></b> The Portfolio may seek to earn additional income through lending its securities to certain qualified broker-dealers and institutions. There is the risk that when portfolio securities are lent, the securities may not be returned on a timely basis, and the Portfolio may experience delays and costs in recovering the security or gaining access to the collateral provided to the Portfolio to collateralize the loan. If the Portfolio is unable to recover a security on loan, the Portfolio may use the collateral to purchase replacement securities in the market. There is a risk that the value of the collateral could decrease below the cost of the replacement security by the time the replacement investment is made, resulting in a loss to the Portfolio.</p><p><i>An investment in the Portfolio is not a bank deposit and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.</i></p>falsefalsefalsefalsefalseOtherus-types:textBlockItemTypestringNarrative Risk Disclosure.

The Portfolio is designed for long-term investors seeking an equity portfolio, including common stocks. Common stocks tend to be more volatile than many other investment choices.</p><p><b><i>Foreign Exposure Risk.</i></b> The Portfolio normally has significant exposure to foreign markets, including emerging markets, which can be more volatile than the U.S. markets. As a result, its returns and net asset value may be affected to a large degree by fluctuations in currency exchange rates or political or economic conditions in a particular country. A market swing in one or more countries or regions where the Portfolio has invested a significant amount of its assets may have a greater effect on the Portfolio&#8217;s performance than it would in a more geographically diversified portfolio. The Portfolio&#8217;s investments in emerging market countries may involve risks greater than, or in addition to, the risks of investing in more developed countries.</p><p><b><i>Emerging Markets Risk.</i></b> The risks of foreign investing mentioned above are heightened when investing in emerging markets. Emerging markets securities are exposed to a number of additional risks, which may result from less government supervision and regulation of business and industry practices, stock exchanges, brokers, and listed companies, making these investments potentially more volatile in price and less liquid than investments in developed securities markets, resulting in greater risk to investors. In addition, the Portfolio&#8217;s investments may be denominated in foreign currencies and therefore, changes in the value of a country&#8217;s currency compared to the U.S. dollar may affect the value of the Portfolio&#8217;s investments. To the extent that the Portfolio invests a significant portion of its assets in the securities of issuers in or companies of a single country or region, it is more likely to be impacted by events or conditions affecting that country or region which could have a negative impact on the Portfolio&#8217;s performance. Some of the risks of investing directly in foreign and emerging market securities may be reduced when the Portfolio invests indirectly in foreign securities through various other investment vehicles including derivatives, which also involve specialized risks. As of December 31, 2010, approximately 6.8% of the Portfolio&#8217;s investments were in emerging markets.</p><p><b><i>Market Risk.</i></b> The value of the Portfolio&#8217;s holdings may decrease if the value of an individual company or multiple companies in the Portfolio decreases or if the portfolio manager&#8217;s belief about a company&#8217;s intrinsic worth is incorrect. Further, regardless of how well individual companies perform, the value of the Portfolio&#8217;s holdings could also decrease if there are deteriorating economic or market conditions. It is important to understand that the value of your investment may fall, sometimes sharply, in response to changes in the market, and you could lose money.</p><p><b><i>Growth Securities Risk.</i></b> Securities of companies perceived to be &#8220;growth&#8221; companies may be more volatile than other stocks and may involve special risks. The price of a &#8220;growth&#8221; security may be impacted if the company does not realize its anticipated potential or if there is a shift in the market to favor other types of securities.</p><p><b><i>Derivatives Risk.</i></b> Derivatives can be highly volatile and involve risks in addition to the risks of the underlying referenced securities. Gains or losses from a derivative can be substantially greater than the derivative&#8217;s original cost, and can therefore involve leverage. Derivatives can be less liquid than other types of investments and entail the risk that the counterparty will default on its payment obligations to the Portfolio.</p><p><b><i>Securities Lending Risk.</i></b> The Portfolio may seek to earn additional income through lending its securities to certain qualified broker-dealers and institutions. There is the risk that when portfolio securities are lent, the securities may not be returned on a timely basis, and the Portfolio may experience delays and costs in recovering the security or gaining access to the collateral provided to the Portfolio to collateralize the loan. If the Portfolio is unable to recover a security on loan, the Portfolio may use the collateral to purchase replacement securities in the market. There is a risk that the value of the collateral could decrease below the cost of the replacement security by the time the replacement investment is made, resulting in a loss to the Portfolio.</p><p><i>An investment in the Portfolio is not a bank deposit and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.</i></p>falsefalsefalsefalsefalseOtherus-types:textBlockItemTypestringNarrative Risk Disclosure.

The Portfolio normally invests in issuers from several different countries, including the United States. The Portfolio may, under unusual circumstances, invest in a single country. The Portfolio may have significant exposure to emerging markets. The Portfolio may also invest in U.S. and foreign debt securities.</p> <p>The portfolio manager applies a "bottom up" approach in choosing investments.

The Portfolio intends to invest in derivative instruments (by taking long and/or short positions) including, but not limited to, put and call options, swaps, and forward currency contracts to increase or decrease the Portfolio&#8217;s exposure to a particular market, to manage or adjust the risk profile of the Portfolio, and to earn income and enhance returns.

The Portfolio is designed for long-term investors seeking an equity portfolio, including common stocks. Common stocks tend to be more volatile than many other investment choices.</p> <p><b><i>Foreign Exposure Risk.</i></b> The Portfolio normally has significant exposure to foreign markets, including emerging markets, which can be more volatile than the U.S. markets. As a result, its returns and net asset value may be affected to a large degree by fluctuations in currency exchange rates or political or economic conditions in a particular country. A market swing in one or more countries or regions where the Portfolio has invested a significant amount of its assets may have a greater effect on the Portfolio&#8217;s performance than it would in a more geographically diversified portfolio. The Portfolio&#8217;s investments in emerging market countries may involve risks greater than, or in addition to, the risks of investing in more developed countries.</p> <p><b><i>Emerging Markets Risk.</i></b> The risks of foreign investing mentioned above are heightened when investing in emerging markets. Emerging markets securities are exposed to a number of additional risks, which may result from less government supervision and regulation of business and industry practices, stock exchanges, brokers, and listed companies, making these investments potentially more volatile in price and less liquid than investments in developed securities markets, resulting in greater risk to investors. In addition, the Portfolio&#8217;s investments may be denominated in foreign currencies and therefore, changes in the value of a country&#8217;s currency compared to the U.S. dollar may affect the value of the Portfolio&#8217;s investments. To the extent that the Portfolio invests a significant portion of its assets in the securities of issuers in or companies of a single country or region, it is more likely to be impacted by events or conditions affecting that country or region which could have a negative impact on the Portfolio&#8217;s performance. Some of the risks of investing directly in foreign and emerging market securities may be reduced when the Portfolio invests indirectly in foreign securities through various other investment vehicles including derivatives, which also involve specialized risks. As of December 31, 2010, approximately 6.8% of the Portfolio&#8217;s investments were in emerging markets.</p> <p><b><i>Market Risk.</i></b> The value of the Portfolio&#8217;s holdings may decrease if the value of an individual company or multiple companies in the Portfolio decreases or if the portfolio manager&#8217;s belief about a company&#8217;s intrinsic worth is incorrect. Further, regardless of how well individual companies perform, the value of the Portfolio&#8217;s holdings could also decrease if there are deteriorating economic or market conditions. It is important to understand that the value of your investment may fall, sometimes sharply, in response to changes in the market, and you could lose money.</p> <p><b><i>Growth Securities Risk.</i></b> Securities of companies perceived to be "growth" companies may be more volatile than other stocks and may involve special risks. The price of a &#8220;growth&#8221; security may be impacted if the company does not realize its anticipated potential or if there is a shift in the market to favor other types of securities.</p> <p><b><i>Derivatives Risk.</i></b> Derivatives can be highly volatile and involve risks in addition to the risks of the underlying referenced securities. Gains or losses from a derivative can be substantially greater than the derivative's original cost, and can therefore involve leverage. Derivatives can be less liquid than other types of investments and entail the risk that the counterparty will default on its payment obligations to the Portfolio.</p> <p><b><i>Securities Lending Risk.</i></b> The Portfolio may seek to earn additional income through lending its securities to certain qualified broker-dealers and institutions. There is the risk that when portfolio securities are lent, the securities may not be returned on a timely basis, and the Portfolio may experience delays and costs in recovering the security or gaining access to the collateral provided to the Portfolio to collateralize the loan. If the Portfolio is unable to recover a security on loan, the Portfolio may use the collateral to purchase replacement securities in the market. There is a risk that the value of the collateral could decrease below the cost of the replacement security by the time the replacement investment is made, resulting in a loss to the Portfolio.</p> <p><i>An investment in the Portfolio is not a bank deposit and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.</i></p>falsefalsefalsefalsefalseOtherus-types:textBlockItemTypestringNarrative Risk Disclosure.

If these sales charges (loads) were included, your costs would be higher. 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 may indicate higher transaction costs. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was __% of the average value of its whole portfolio. Instructions. A.3.instructions.6 New Funds.

The Portfolio may have significant exposure to emerging markets. The Portfolio may also invest in U.S. and foreign debt securities.</p><p>The portfolio manager applies a &#8220;bottom up&#8221; approach in choosing investments.

The Portfolio intends to invest in derivative instruments (by taking long and/or short positions) including, but not limited to, put and call options, swaps, and forward currency contracts to increase or decrease the Portfolio&#8217;s exposure to a particular market, to manage or adjust the risk profile of the Portfolio, and to earn income and enhance returns.

The Portfolio is designed for long-term investors seeking an equity portfolio, including common stocks. Common stocks tend to be more volatile than many other investment choices.</p><p><b><i>Foreign Exposure Risk.</i></b> The Portfolio normally has significant exposure to foreign markets, including emerging markets, which can be more volatile than the U.S. markets. As a result, its returns and net asset value may be affected to a large degree by fluctuations in currency exchange rates or political or economic conditions in a particular country. A market swing in one or more countries or regions where the Portfolio has invested a significant amount of its assets may have a greater effect on the Portfolio&#8217;s performance than it would in a more geographically diversified portfolio. The Portfolio&#8217;s investments in emerging market countries may involve risks greater than, or in addition to, the risks of investing in more developed countries.</p><p><b><i>Emerging Markets Risk.</i></b> The risks of foreign investing mentioned above are heightened when investing in emerging markets. Emerging markets securities are exposed to a number of additional risks, which may result from less government supervision and regulation of business and industry practices, stock exchanges, brokers, and listed companies, making these investments potentially more volatile in price and less liquid than investments in developed securities markets, resulting in greater risk to investors. In addition, the Portfolio&#8217;s investments may be denominated in foreign currencies and therefore, changes in the value of a country&#8217;s currency compared to the U.S. dollar may affect the value of the Portfolio&#8217;s investments. To the extent that the Portfolio invests a significant portion of its assets in the securities of issuers in or companies of a single country or region, it is more likely to be impacted by events or conditions affecting that country or region which could have a negative impact on the Portfolio&#8217;s performance. Some of the risks of investing directly in foreign and emerging market securities may be reduced when the Portfolio invests indirectly in foreign securities through various other investment vehicles including derivatives, which also involve specialized risks. As of December 31, 2010, approximately 6.8% of the Portfolio&#8217;s investments were in emerging markets.</p><p><b><i>Market Risk.</i></b> The value of the Portfolio&#8217;s holdings may decrease if the value of an individual company or multiple companies in the Portfolio decreases or if the portfolio manager&#8217;s belief about a company&#8217;s intrinsic worth is incorrect. Further, regardless of how well individual companies perform, the value of the Portfolio&#8217;s holdings could also decrease if there are deteriorating economic or market conditions. It is important to understand that the value of your investment may fall, sometimes sharply, in response to changes in the market, and you could lose money.</p><p><b><i> Growth Securities Risk.</i></b> Securities of companies perceived to be &#8220;growth&#8221; companies may be more volatile than other stocks and may involve special risks. The price of a &#8220;growth&#8221; security may be impacted if the company does not realize its anticipated potential or if there is a shift in the market to favor other types of securities.</p><p><b><i>Derivatives Risk.</i></b> Derivatives can be highly volatile and involve risks in addition to the risks of the underlying referenced securities. Gains or losses from a derivative can be substantially greater than the derivative&#8217;s original cost, and can therefore involve leverage. Derivatives can be less liquid than other types of investments and entail the risk that the counterparty will default on its payment obligations to the Portfolio.</p><p><b><i>Securities Lending Risk.</i></b> The Portfolio may seek to earn additional income through lending its securities to certain qualified broker-dealers and institutions. There is the risk that when portfolio securities are lent, the securities may not be returned on a timely basis, and the Portfolio may experience delays and costs in recovering the security or gaining access to the collateral provided to the Portfolio to collateralize the loan. If the Portfolio is unable to recover a security on loan, the Portfolio may use the collateral to purchase replacement securities in the market. There is a risk that the value of the collateral could decrease below the cost of the replacement security by the time the replacement investment is made, resulting in a loss to the Portfolio.</p><p><i> An investment in the Portfolio is not a bank deposit and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.</i></p>falsefalsefalsefalsefalseOtherus-types:textBlockItemTypestringNarrative Risk Disclosure.

The Portfolio is designed for long-term investors seeking a balanced portfolio, including common stocks and bonds. Common stocks tend to be more volatile than many other investment choices.</p> <p><b><i>Market Risk.</i></b> The value of the Portfolio&#8217;s holdings may decrease if the value of an individual company or multiple companies in the Portfolio decreases or if the portfolio managers&#8217; belief about a company&#8217;s intrinsic worth is incorrect. Further, regardless of how well individual companies perform, the value of the Portfolio&#8217;s holdings could also decrease if there are deteriorating economic or market conditions. It is important to understand that the value of your investment may fall, sometimes sharply, in response to changes in the market, and you could lose money.</p> <p><b><i> Growth Securities Risk.</i></b> Securities of companies perceived to be &#8220;growth&#8221; companies may be more volatile than other stocks and may involve special risks. The price of a &#8220;growth&#8221; security may be impacted if the company does not realize its anticipated potential or if there is a shift in the market to favor other types of securities.</p> <p><b><i> Fixed-Income Securities Risk.</i></b> The Portfolio may hold debt and other fixed-income securities to generate income. Typically, the values of fixed-income securities change inversely with prevailing interest rates. Therefore, a fundamental risk of fixed-income securities is interest rate risk, which is the risk that their value will generally decline as prevailing interest rates rise, which may cause the Portfolio&#8217;s net asset value to likewise decrease, and vice versa. How specific fixed-income securities may react to changes in interest rates will depend on the specific characteristics of each security. Fixed-income securities are also subject to credit risk, prepayment risk, valuation risk, and liquidity risk.</p> <p><b><i>Mortgage-Backed Securities Risk.</i></b> Mortgage-backed securities tend to be more sensitive to changes in interest rates than other types of securities. Investments in mortgage-backed securities are subject to both extension risk, where borrowers extend the duration of their mortgages in times of rising interest rates, and prepayment risk, where borrowers pay off their mortgages sooner than expected in times of declining interest rates. These risks may reduce the Portfolio&#8217;s returns. In addition, investments in mortgage-backed securities, including those comprised of subprime mortgages, may be subject to a higher degree of credit risk, valuation risk, and liquidity risk than various other types of fixed-income securities.</p> <p><b><i> Foreign Exposure Risk.</i></b> The Portfolio may have significant exposure to foreign markets, including emerging markets, which can be more volatile than the U.S. markets. As a result, its returns and net asset value may be affected to a large degree by fluctuations in currency exchange rates or political or economic conditions in a particular country. A market swing in one or more countries or regions where the Portfolio has invested a significant amount of its assets may have a greater effect on the Portfolio&#8217;s performance than it would in a more geographically diversified portfolio. The Portfolio&#8217;s investments in emerging market countries may involve risks greater than, or in addition to, the risks of investing in more developed countries.</p> <p><i>An investment in the Portfolio is not a bank deposit and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.</i></p>falsefalsefalsefalsefalseOtherus-types:textBlockItemTypestringNarrative Risk Disclosure.

The Portfolio is designed for long-term investors seeking a balanced portfolio, including common stocks and bonds. Common stocks tend to be more volatile than many other investment choices.</p> <p><b><i>Market Risk.</i></b> The value of the Portfolio&#8217;s holdings may decrease if the value of an individual company or multiple companies in the Portfolio decreases or if the portfolio managers&#8217; belief about a company&#8217;s intrinsic worth is incorrect. Further, regardless of how well individual companies perform, the value of the Portfolio&#8217;s holdings could also decrease if there are deteriorating economic or market conditions. It is important to understand that the value of your investment may fall, sometimes sharply, in response to changes in the market, and you could lose money.</p> <p><b><i>Growth Securities Risk.</i></b> Securities of companies perceived to be "growth" companies may be more volatile than other stocks and may involve special risks. The price of a "growth" security may be impacted if the company does not realize its anticipated potential or if there is a shift in the market to favor other types of securities.</p> <p><b><i>Fixed-Income Securities Risk.</i></b> The Portfolio may hold debt and other fixed-income securities to generate income. Typically, the values of fixed-income securities change inversely with prevailing interest rates. Therefore, a fundamental risk of fixed-income securities is interest rate risk, which is the risk that their value will generally decline as prevailing interest rates rise, which may cause the Portfolio&#8217;s net asset value to likewise decrease, and vice versa. How specific fixed-income securities may react to changes in interest rates will depend on the specific characteristics of each security. Fixed-income securities are also subject to credit risk, prepayment risk, valuation risk, and liquidity risk.</p> <p><b><i>Mortgage-Backed Securities Risk.</i></b> Mortgage-backed securities tend to be more sensitive to changes in interest rates than other types of securities. Investments in mortgage-backed securities are subject to both extension risk, where borrowers extend the duration of their mortgages in times of rising interest rates, and prepayment risk, where borrowers pay off their mortgages sooner than expected in times of declining interest rates. These risks may reduce the Portfolio&#8217;s returns. In addition, investments in mortgage-backed securities, including those comprised of subprime mortgages, may be subject to a higher degree of credit risk, valuation risk, and liquidity risk than various other types of fixed-income securities.</p> <p><b><i>Foreign Exposure Risk.</i></b> The Portfolio may have significant exposure to foreign markets, including emerging markets, which can be more volatile than the U.S. markets. As a result, its returns and net asset value may be affected to a large degree by fluctuations in currency exchange rates or political or economic conditions in a particular country. A market swing in one or more countries or regions where the Portfolio has invested a significant amount of its assets may have a greater effect on the Portfolio&#8217;s performance than it would in a more geographically diversified portfolio. The Portfolio&#8217;s investments in emerging market countries may involve risks greater than, or in addition to, the risks of investing in more developed countries.</p> <p><i>An investment in the Portfolio is not a bank deposit and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.</i></p>falsefalsefalsefalsefalseOtherus-types:textBlockItemTypestringNarrative Risk Disclosure.

The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then you redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods.

If these sales charges (loads) were included, your costs would be higher. 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 may indicate higher transaction costs. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was __% of the average value of its whole portfolio. Instructions. A.3.instructions.6 New Funds.

Market capitalization is a commonly used measure of the size and value of a company.

The Portfolio is designed for long-term investors seeking an equity portfolio, including common stocks. Common stocks tend to be more volatile than many other investment choices.</p> <p><b><i>Market Risk. </i></b>The value of the Portfolio&#8217;s holdings may decrease if the value of an individual company or multiple companies in the Portfolio decreases or if the portfolio manager&#8217;s belief about a company&#8217;s intrinsic worth is incorrect. Further, regardless of how well individual companies perform, the value of the Portfolio&#8217;s holdings could also decrease if there are deteriorating economic or market conditions. It is important to understand that the value of your investment may fall, sometimes sharply, in response to changes in the market, and you could lose money.</p> <p><b><i>Mid-Sized Companies Risk. </i></b>The Portfolio&#8217;s investments in securities issued by mid-sized companies may involve greater risks than are customarily associated with larger, more established companies. Securities issued by mid-sized companies tend to be more volatile than securities issued by larger or more established companies and may underperform as compared to the securities of larger companies.</p> <p><b><i>Growth Securities Risk. </i></b> Securities of companies perceived to be &#8220;growth&#8221; companies may be more volatile than other stocks and may involve special risks. The price of a &#8220;growth&#8221; security may be impacted if the company does not realize its anticipated potential or if there is a shift in the market to favor other types of securities.</p> <p><b><i> Foreign Exposure Risk. </i></b>The Portfolio may have significant exposure to foreign markets, including emerging markets, which can be more volatile than the U.S. markets. As a result, its returns and net asset value may be affected to a large degree by fluctuations in currency exchange rates or political or economic conditions in a particular country. A market swing in one or more countries or regions where the Portfolio has invested a significant amount of its assets may have a greater effect on the Portfolio&#8217;s performance than it would in a more geographically diversified portfolio. The Portfolio&#8217;s investments in emerging market countries may involve risks greater than, or in addition to, the risks of investing in more developed countries.</p> <p><b><i>Securities Lending Risk. </i></b> The Portfolio may seek to earn additional income through lending its securities to certain qualified broker-dealers and institutions. There is the risk that when portfolio securities are lent, the securities may not be returned on a timely basis, and the Portfolio may experience delays and costs in recovering the security or gaining access to the collateral provided to the Portfolio to collateralize the loan. If the Portfolio is unable to recover a security on loan, the Portfolio may use the collateral to purchase replacement securities in the market.

If these sales charges (loads) were included, your costs would be higher. 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 may indicate higher transaction costs. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was __% of the average value of its whole portfolio. Instructions. A.3.instructions.6 New Funds.

The Portfolio is designed for long-term investors seeking an equity portfolio, including common stocks. Common stocks tend to be more volatile than many other investment choices.</p> <p><b><i>Market Risk.</i></b> The value of the Portfolio's holdings may decrease if the value of an individual company or multiple companies in the Portfolio decreases or if the portfolio manager's belief about a company&#8217;s intrinsic worth is incorrect. Further, regardless of how well individual companies perform, the value of the Portfolio's holdings could also decrease if there are deteriorating economic or market conditions. It is important to understand that the value of your investment may fall, sometimes sharply, in response to changes in the market, and you could lose money.</p> <p><b><i>Mid-Sized Companies Risk.</i></b> The Portfolio&#8217;s investments in securities issued by mid-sized companies may involve greater risks than are customarily associated with larger, more established companies. Securities issued by mid-sized companies tend to be more volatile than securities issued by larger or more established companies and may underperform as compared to the securities of larger companies.</p> <p><b><i>Growth Securities Risk.</i></b> Securities of companies perceived to be &#8220;growth&#8221; companies may be more volatile than other stocks and may involve special risks. The price of a "growth" security may be impacted if the company does not realize its anticipated potential or if there is a shift in the market to favor other types of securities.</p> <p><b><i>Foreign Exposure Risk.</i></b> The Portfolio may have significant exposure to foreign markets, including emerging markets, which can be more volatile than the U.S. markets. As a result, its returns and net asset value may be affected to a large degree by fluctuations in currency exchange rates or political or economic conditions in a particular country. A market swing in one or more countries or regions where the Portfolio has invested a significant amount of its assets may have a greater effect on the Portfolio's performance than it would in a more geographically diversified portfolio. The Portfolio's investments in emerging market countries may involve risks greater than, or in addition to, the risks of investing in more developed countries.</p> <p><b><i>Securities Lending Risk.</i></b> The Portfolio may seek to earn additional income through lending its securities to certain qualified broker-dealers and institutions. There is the risk that when portfolio securities are lent, the securities may not be returned on a timely basis, and the Portfolio may experience delays and costs in recovering the security or gaining access to the collateral provided to the Portfolio to collateralize the loan. If the Portfolio is unable to recover a security on loan, the Portfolio may use the collateral to purchase replacement securities in the market. There is a risk that the value of the collateral could decrease below the cost of the replacement security by the time the replacement investment is made, resulting in a loss to the Portfolio.</p> <p><i> An investment in the Portfolio is not a bank deposit and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.</i></p>falsefalsefalsefalsefalseOtherus-types:textBlockItemTypestringNarrative Risk Disclosure.

The Portfolio is designed for long-term investors seeking an equity portfolio, including common stocks. Common stocks tend to be more volatile than many other investment choices.</p> <p><b><i>Market Risk.</i></b> The value of the Portfolio&#8217;s holdings may decrease if the value of an individual company or multiple companies in the Portfolio decreases or if the portfolio manager&#8217;s belief about a company&#8217;s intrinsic worth is incorrect. Further, regardless of how well individual companies perform, the value of the Portfolio&#8217;s holdings could also decrease if there are deteriorating economic or market conditions. It is important to understand that the value of your investment may fall, sometimes sharply, in response to changes in the market, and you could lose money.</p> <p><b><i>Growth Securities Risk. </i></b>Securities of companies perceived to be &#8220;growth&#8221; companies may be more volatile than other stocks and may involve special risks. The price of a &#8220;growth&#8221; security may be impacted if the company does not realize its anticipated potential or if there is a shift in the market to favor other types of securities.</p> <p><b><i> Nondiversification Risk. </i></b> The Portfolio is classified as nondiversified under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. This gives the portfolio manager more flexibility to hold larger positions in a smaller number of securities. As a result, an increase or decrease in the value of a single security held by the Portfolio may have a greater impact on the Portfolio&#8217;s NAV and total return.</p> <p><b><i> Foreign Exposure Risk. </i></b> The Portfolio may have significant exposure to foreign markets, including emerging markets, which can be more volatile than the U.S. markets. As a result, its returns and net asset value may be affected to a large degree by fluctuations in currency exchange rates or political or economic conditions in a particular country. A market swing in one or more countries or regions where the Portfolio has invested a significant amount of its assets may have a greater effect on the Portfolio&#8217;s performance than it would in a more geographically diversified portfolio. The Portfolio&#8217;s investments in emerging market countries may involve risks greater than, or in addition to, the risks of investing in more developed countries.</p> <p><b><i>Derivatives Risk. </i></b>Derivatives can be highly volatile and involve risks in addition to the risks of the underlying referenced securities. Gains or losses from a derivative can be substantially greater than the derivative&#8217;s original cost, and can therefore involve leverage. Derivatives can be less liquid than other types of investments and entail the risk that the counterparty will default on its payment obligations to the Portfolio.</p> <p><b><i>Securities Lending Risk. </i></b>The Portfolio may seek to earn additional income through lending its securities to certain qualified broker-dealers and institutions. There is the risk that when portfolio securities are lent, the securities may not be returned on a timely basis, and the Portfolio may experience delays and costs in recovering the security or gaining access to the collateral provided to the Portfolio to collateralize the loan. If the Portfolio is unable to recover a security on loan, the Portfolio may use the collateral to purchase replacement securities in the market. There is a risk that the value of the collateral could decrease below the cost of the replacement security by the time the replacement investment is made, resulting in a loss to the Portfolio.</p> <p><i>An investment in the Portfolio is not a bank deposit and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.</i></p>falsefalsefalsefalsefalseOtherus-types:textBlockItemTypestringNarrative Risk Disclosure.

If these sales charges (loads) were included, your costs would be higher. 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 may indicate higher transaction costs. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was __% of the average value of its whole portfolio. Instructions. A.3.instructions.6 New Funds.

The Portfolio is designed for long-term investors seeking an equity portfolio, including common stocks. Common stocks tend to be more volatile than many other investment choices.</p><p><b><i>Market Risk.</i></b> The value of the Portfolio's holdings may decrease if the value of an individual company or multiple companies in the Portfolio decreases or if the portfolio manager's belief about a company&#8217;s intrinsic worth is incorrect. Further, regardless of how well individual companies perform, the value of the Portfolio's holdings could also decrease if there are deteriorating economic or market conditions. It is important to understand that the value of your investment may fall, sometimes sharply, in response to changes in the market, and you could lose money.</p><p><b><i>Growth Securities Risk.</i></b> Securities of companies perceived to be "growth" companies may be more volatile than other stocks and may involve special risks. The price of a "growth" security may be impacted if the company does not realize its anticipated potential or if there is a shift in the market to favor other types of securities.</p><p><b><i>Nondiversification Risk.</i></b> The Portfolio is classified as nondiversified under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. This gives the portfolio manager more flexibility to hold larger positions in a smaller number of securities. As a result, an increase or decrease in the value of a single security held by the Portfolio may have a greater impact on the Portfolio&#8217;s NAV and total return.</p><p><b><i>Foreign Exposure Risk.</i></b> The Portfolio may have significant exposure to foreign markets, including emerging markets, which can be more volatile than the U.S. markets. As a result, its returns and net asset value may be affected to a large degree by fluctuations in currency exchange rates or political or economic conditions in a particular country. A market swing in one or more countries or regions where the Portfolio has invested a significant amount of its assets may have a greater effect on the Portfolio&#8217;s performance than it would in a more geographically diversified portfolio. The Portfolio&#8217;s investments in emerging market countries may involve risks greater than, or in addition to, the risks of investing in more developed countries.</p><p><b><i>Derivatives Risk.</i></b> Derivatives can be highly volatile and involve risks in addition to the risks of the underlying referenced securities. Gains or losses from a derivative can be substantially greater than the derivative&#8217;s original cost, and can therefore involve leverage. Derivatives can be less liquid than other types of investments and entail the risk that the counterparty will default on its payment obligations to the Portfolio.</p><p><b><i>Securities Lending Risk.</i></b> The Portfolio may seek to earn additional income through lending its securities to certain qualified broker-dealers and institutions. There is the risk that when portfolio securities are lent, the securities may not be returned on a timely basis, and the Portfolio may experience delays and costs in recovering the security or gaining access to the collateral provided to the Portfolio to collateralize the loan. If the Portfolio is unable to recover a security on loan, the Portfolio may use the collateral to purchase replacement securities in the market. There is a risk that the value of the collateral could decrease below the cost of the replacement security by the time the replacement investment is made, resulting in a loss to the Portfolio.</p><p><i>An investment in the Portfolio is not a bank deposit and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.</i></p>falsefalsefalsefalsefalseOtherus-types:textBlockItemTypestringNarrative Risk Disclosure.

Shareholder Fees (fees paid directly from your investment) Example This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then you redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods.

If these sales charges (loads) were included, your costs would be higher. 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 may indicate higher transaction costs. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was __% of the average value of its whole portfolio. Instructions. A.3.instructions.6 New Funds.

The Portfolio is designed for long-term investors seeking an equity portfolio, including common stocks. Common stocks tend to be more volatile than many other investment choices.</p> <p><b><i>Market Risk. </i></b>The value of the Portfolio&#8217;s holdings may decrease if the value of an individual company or multiple companies in the Portfolio decreases or if the portfolio managers&#8217; belief about a company&#8217;s intrinsic worth is incorrect. Further, regardless of how well individual companies perform, the value of the Portfolio&#8217;s holdings could also decrease if there are deteriorating economic or market conditions. It is important to understand that the value of your investment may fall, sometimes sharply, in response to changes in the market, and you could lose money.</p> <p><b><i>Growth Securities Risk. </i></b>Securities of companies perceived to be &#8220;growth&#8221; companies may be more volatile than other stocks and may involve special risks. The price of a &#8220;growth&#8221; security may be impacted if the company does not realize its anticipated potential or if there is a shift in the market to favor other types of securities.</p> <p><b><i> Foreign Exposure Risk. </i></b>The Portfolio may have significant exposure to foreign markets, including emerging markets, which can be more volatile than the U.S. markets. As a result, its returns and net asset value may be affected to a large degree by fluctuations in currency exchange rates or political or economic conditions in a particular country. A market swing in one or more countries or regions where the Portfolio has invested a significant amount of its assets may have a greater effect on the Portfolio&#8217;s performance than it would in a more geographically diversified portfolio. The Portfolio&#8217;s investments in emerging market countries may involve risks greater than, or in addition to, the risks of investing in more developed countries.</p> <p><b><i>Derivatives Risk. </i></b> Derivatives can be highly volatile and involve risks in addition to the risks of the underlying referenced securities. Gains or losses from a derivative can be substantially greater than the derivative&#8217;s original cost, and can therefore involve leverage. Derivatives can be less liquid than other types of investments and entail the risk that the counterparty will default on its payment obligations to the Portfolio.</p> <p><b><i>Securities Lending Risk. </i></b>The Portfolio may seek to earn additional income through lending its securities to certain qualified broker-dealers and institutions. There is the risk that when portfolio securities are lent, the securities may not be returned on a timely basis, and the Portfolio may experience delays and costs in recovering the security or gaining access to the collateral provided to the Portfolio to collateralize the loan. If the Portfolio is unable to recover a security on loan, the Portfolio may use the collateral to purchase replacement securities in the market. There is a risk that the value of the collateral could decrease below the cost of the replacement security by the time the replacement investment is made, resulting in a loss to the Portfolio.</p> <p><i> An investment in the Portfolio is not a bank deposit and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.</i></p>falsefalsefalsefalsefalseOtherus-types:textBlockItemTypestringNarrative Risk Disclosure.

The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then you redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods.

If these sales charges (loads) were included, your costs would be higher. 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 may indicate higher transaction costs. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was __% of the average value of its whole portfolio. Instructions. A.3.instructions.6 New Funds.

The Portfolio is designed for long-term investors seeking an equity portfolio, including common stocks. Common stocks tend to be more volatile than many other investment choices.</p><p><b><i>Market Risk.</i></b> The value of the Portfolio&#8217;s holdings may decrease if the value of an individual company or multiple companies in the Portfolio decreases or if the portfolio managers&#8217; belief about a company's intrinsic worth is incorrect. Further, regardless of how well individual companies perform, the value of the Portfolio&#8217;s holdings could also decrease if there are deteriorating economic or market conditions. It is important to understand that the value of your investment may fall, sometimes sharply, in response to changes in the market, and you could lose money.</p><p><b><i>Growth Securities Risk.</i></b> Securities of companies perceived to be &#8220;growth&#8221; companies may be more volatile than other stocks and may involve special risks. The price of a &#8220;growth&#8221; security may be impacted if the company does not realize its anticipated potential or if there is a shift in the market to favor other types of securities.</p><p><b><i>Foreign Exposure Risk.</i></b> The Portfolio may have significant exposure to foreign markets, including emerging markets, which can be more volatile than the U.S. markets. As a result, its returns and net asset value may be affected to a large degree by fluctuations in currency exchange rates or political or economic conditions in a particular country. A market swing in one or more countries or regions where the Portfolio has invested a significant amount of its assets may have a greater effect on the Portfolio&#8217;s performance than it would in a more geographically diversified portfolio. The Portfolio&#8217;s investments in emerging market countries may involve risks greater than, or in addition to, the risks of investing in more developed countries.</p><p><b><i>Derivatives Risk.</i></b> Derivatives can be highly volatile and involve risks in addition to the risks of the underlying referenced securities. Gains or losses from a derivative can be substantially greater than the derivative&#8217;s original cost, and can therefore involve leverage. Derivatives can be less liquid than other types of investments and entail the risk that the counterparty will default on its payment obligations to the Portfolio.</p><p><b><i>Securities Lending Risk.</i></b> The Portfolio may seek to earn additional income through lending its securities to certain qualified broker-dealers and institutions. There is the risk that when portfolio securities are lent, the securities may not be returned on a timely basis, and the Portfolio may experience delays and costs in recovering the security or gaining access to the collateral provided to the Portfolio to collateralize the loan. If the Portfolio is unable to recover a security on loan, the Portfolio may use the collateral to purchase replacement securities in the market. There is a risk that the value of the collateral could decrease below the cost of the replacement security by the time the replacement investment is made, resulting in a loss to the Portfolio.</p><p><i>An investment in the Portfolio is not a bank deposit and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.</i></p>falsefalsefalsefalsefalseOtherus-types:textBlockItemTypestringNarrative Risk Disclosure.

These companies generally fall into two categories:</p> <p>&#8226; companies that the portfolio manager believes have or will develop products, processes, or services that will provide significant technological advancements or improvements; and</p> <p>&#8226; companies that the portfolio manager believes rely extensively on technology in connection with their operations or services.</p> <p>The Portfolio implements this policy by investing primarily in equity securities of U.S. and foreign companies selected for their growth potential. The Portfolio normally invests in issuers from several different countries, which may include the United States. The Portfolio may, under unusual circumstances, invest in a single country. The Portfolio may have significant exposure to emerging markets. The Portfolio may also invest in U.S. and foreign debt securities.</p> <p>The portfolio manager applies a "bottom up" approach in choosing investments. In other words, the portfolio manager looks at companies one at a time to determine if a company is an attractive investment opportunity and if it is consistent with the Portfolio's investment policies.</p> <p>The Portfolio may also invest its assets in derivatives, which are instruments that have a value derived from an underlying asset, such as stocks, bonds, commodities, currencies, interest rates, or market indices, as substitutes for securities in which the Portfolio invests. The Portfolio has invested in and may continue to invest in derivative instruments (by taking long and/or short positions), including, but not limited to, put and call options, futures contracts, and forward currency contracts to increase or decrease the Portfolio's exposure to a particular market, to manage or adjust the risk profile of the Portfolio, and to earn income and enhance returns. The Portfolio's exposure to derivatives will vary, is not limited to those derivatives listed, and could be significant at times.</p> <p>The Portfolio may lend portfolio securities on a short-term or long-term basis, in an amount equal to up to 1/3 of its total assets as determined at the time of the loan origination.</p>falsefalsefalsefalsefalseOtherus-types:textBlockItemTypestringPrincipal investment strategies of the Fund.

The Portfolio is designed for long-term investors seeking an equity portfolio, including common stocks. Common stocks tend to be more volatile than many other investment choices.</p> <p><b><i>Foreign Exposure Risk.</i></b> The Portfolio normally has significant exposure to foreign markets, including emerging markets, which can be more volatile than the U.S. markets. As a result, its returns and net asset value may be affected to a large degree by fluctuations in currency exchange rates or political or economic conditions in a particular country. A market swing in one or more countries or regions where the Portfolio has invested a significant amount of its assets may have a greater effect on the Portfolio&#8217;s performance than it would in a more geographically diversified portfolio. The Portfolio&#8217;s investments in emerging market countries may involve risks greater than, or in addition to, the risks of investing in more developed countries.</p> <p><b><i>Emerging Markets Risk.</i></b> The risks of foreign investing mentioned above are heightened when investing in emerging markets. Emerging markets securities are exposed to a number of additional risks, which may result from less government supervision and regulation of business and industry practices, stock exchanges, brokers, and listed companies, making these investments potentially more volatile in price and less liquid than investments in developed securities markets, resulting in greater risk to investors. In addition, the Portfolio&#8217;s investments may be denominated in foreign currencies and therefore, changes in the value of a country&#8217;s currency compared to the U.S. dollar may affect the value of the Portfolio&#8217;s investments. To the extent that the Portfolio invests a significant portion of its assets in the securities of issuers in or companies of a single country or region, it is more likely to be impacted by events or conditions affecting that country or region which could have a negative impact on the Portfolio&#8217;s performance. Some of the risks of investing directly in foreign and emerging market securities may be reduced when the Portfolio invests indirectly in foreign securities through various other investment vehicles including derivatives, which also involve specialized risks. As of December 31, 2010, approximately 5.3% of the Portfolio&#8217;s investments were in emerging markets.</p> <p><b><i>Market Risk.</i></b> The value of the Portfolio&#8217;s holdings may decrease if the value of an individual company or multiple companies in the Portfolio decreases or if the portfolio manager&#8217;s belief about a company&#8217;s intrinsic worth is incorrect. Further, regardless of how well individual companies perform, the value of the Portfolio&#8217;s holdings could also decrease if there are deteriorating economic or market conditions. It is important to understand that the value of your investment may fall, sometimes sharply, in response to changes in the market, and you could lose money.</p> <p><b><i>Growth Securities Risk.</i></b> Securities of companies perceived to be &#8220;growth&#8221; companies may be more volatile than other stocks and may involve special risks. The price of a &#8220;growth&#8221; security may be impacted if the company does not realize its anticipated potential or if there is a shift in the market to favor other types of securities.</p><p><b><i>Industry Risk.</i></b> Although the Portfolio does not concentrate its investments in specific industries, it may invest in companies related in such a way that they react similarly to certain market pressures. As a result, the Portfolio&#8217;s returns may be considerably more volatile than the returns of a fund that does not invest in similarly related companies.</p> <p><b><i>Derivatives Risk.</i></b> Derivatives can be highly volatile and involve risks in addition to the risks of the underlying referenced securities. Gains or losses from a derivative can be substantially greater than the derivative&#8217;s original cost, and can therefore involve leverage. Derivatives can be complex instruments and may involve analysis that differs from that required for other investment types used by the Portfolio. If the value of a derivative does not correlate well with the particular market or other asset class to which the derivative is intended to provide exposure, the derivative may not produce the anticipated result. Derivatives can also reduce the opportunity for gain or result in losses by offsetting positive returns in other investments. Derivatives can be less liquid than other types of investments and entail the risk that the counterparty will default on its payment obligations to the Portfolio. If the counterparty to a derivative transaction defaults, the Portfolio would risk the loss of the net amount of the payments that it contractually is entitled to receive. To the extent the Portfolio enters into short derivative positions, the Portfolio may be exposed to risks similar to those associated with short sales, including the risk that the Portfolio&#8217;s losses are theoretically unlimited.</p> <p><b><i>Securities Lending Risk.</i></b> The Portfolio may seek to earn additional income through lending its securities to certain qualified broker-dealers and institutions. There is the risk that when portfolio securities are lent, the securities may not be returned on a timely basis, and the Portfolio may experience delays and costs in recovering the security or gaining access to the collateral provided to the Portfolio to collateralize the loan. If the Portfolio is unable to recover a security on loan, the Portfolio may use the collateral to purchase replacement securities in the market. There is a risk that the value of the collateral could decrease below the cost of the replacement security by the time the replacement investment is made, resulting in a loss to the Portfolio.</p> <p><i>An investment in the Portfolio is not a bank deposit and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.</i></p>falsefalsefalsefalsefalseOtherus-types:textBlockItemTypestringNarrative Risk Disclosure.

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 may indicate higher transaction costs. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was __% of the average value of its whole portfolio. Instructions. A.3.instructions.6 New Funds.

These companies generally fall into two categories:</p><p>&#8226; companies that the portfolio manager believes have or will develop products, processes, or services that will provide significant technological advancements or improvements; and</p><p> &#8226; companies that the portfolio manager believes rely extensively on technology in connection with their operations or services.</p><p>The Portfolio implements this policy by investing primarily in equity securities of U.S. and foreign companies selected for their growth potential. The Portfolio normally invests in issuers from several different countries, which may include the United States. The Portfolio may, under unusual circumstances, invest in a single country. The Portfolio may have significant exposure to emerging markets. The Portfolio may also invest in U.S. and foreign debt securities.</p><p>The portfolio manager applies a &#8220;bottom up&#8221; approach in choosing investments. In other words, the portfolio manager looks at companies one at a time to determine if a company is an attractive investment opportunity and if it is consistent with the Portfolio&#8217;s investment policies.</p><p>The Portfolio may also invest its assets in derivatives, which are instruments that have a value derived from an underlying asset, such as stocks, bonds, commodities, currencies, interest rates, or market indices, as substitutes for securities in which the Portfolio invests. The Portfolio has invested in and may continue to invest in derivative instruments (by taking long and/or short positions), including, but not limited to, put and call options, futures contracts, and forward currency contracts to increase or decrease the Portfolio&#8217;s exposure to a particular market, to manage or adjust the risk profile of the Portfolio, and to earn income and enhance returns. The Portfolio&#8217;s exposure to derivatives will vary, is not limited to those derivatives listed, and could be significant at times.</p><p>The Portfolio may lend portfolio securities on a short-term or long-term basis, in an amount equal to up to 1/3 of its total assets as determined at the time of the loan origination.</p>falsefalsefalsefalsefalseOtherus-types:textBlockItemTypestringPrincipal investment strategies of the Fund.

The Portfolio is designed for long-term investors seeking an equity portfolio, including common stocks. Common stocks tend to be more volatile than many other investment choices.</p><p><b><i>Foreign Exposure Risk.</i></b> The Portfolio normally has significant exposure to foreign markets, including emerging markets, which can be more volatile than the U.S. markets. As a result, its returns and net asset value may be affected to a large degree by fluctuations in currency exchange rates or political or economic conditions in a particular country. A market swing in one or more countries or regions where the Portfolio has invested a significant amount of its assets may have a greater effect on the Portfolio&#8217;s performance than it would in a more geographically diversified portfolio. The Portfolio&#8217;s investments in emerging market countries may involve risks greater than, or in addition to, the risks of investing in more developed countries.</p><p><b><i>Emerging Markets Risk.</i></b> The risks of foreign investing mentioned above are heightened when investing in emerging markets. Emerging markets securities are exposed to a number of additional risks, which may result from less government supervision and regulation of business and industry practices, stock exchanges, brokers, and listed companies, making these investments potentially more volatile in price and less liquid than investments in developed securities markets, resulting in greater risk to investors. In addition, the Portfolio&#8217;s investments may be denominated in foreign currencies and therefore, changes in the value of a country&#8217;s currency compared to the U.S. dollar may affect the value of the Portfolio&#8217;s investments. To the extent that the Portfolio invests a significant portion of its assets in the securities of issuers in or companies of a single country or region, it is more likely to be impacted by events or conditions affecting that country or region which could have a negative impact on the Portfolio&#8217;s performance. Some of the risks of investing directly in foreign and emerging market securities may be reduced when the Portfolio invests indirectly in foreign securities through various other investment vehicles including derivatives, which also involve specialized risks. As of December 31, 2010, approximately 5.3% of the Portfolio&#8217;s investments were in emerging markets.</p><p><b><i>Market Risk.</i></b> The value of the Portfolio&#8217;s holdings may decrease if the value of an individual company or multiple companies in the Portfolio decreases or if the portfolio manager&#8217;s belief about a company&#8217;s intrinsic worth is incorrect. Further, regardless of how well individual companies perform, the value of the Portfolio&#8217;s holdings could also decrease if there are deteriorating economic or market conditions. It is important to understand that the value of your investment may fall, sometimes sharply, in response to changes in the market, and you could lose money.</p><p><b><i>Growth Securities Risk.</i></b> Securities of companies perceived to be &#8220;growth&#8221; companies may be more volatile than other stocks and may involve special risks. The price of a &#8220;growth&#8221; security may be impacted if the company does not realize its anticipated potential or if there is a shift in the market to favor other types of securities.</p><p><b><i>Industry Risk. </i></b>Although the Portfolio does not concentrate its investments in specific industries, it may invest in companies related in such a way that they react similarly to certain market pressures. As a result, the Portfolio&#8217;s returns may be considerably more volatile than the returns of a fund that does not invest in similarly related companies.</p><p><b><i>Derivatives Risk.</i></b> Derivatives can be highly volatile and involve risks in addition to the risks of the underlying referenced securities. Gains or losses from a derivative can be substantially greater than the derivative&#8217;s original cost, and can therefore involve leverage. Derivatives can be complex instruments and may involve analysis that differs from that required for other investment types used by the Portfolio. If the value of a derivative does not correlate well with the particular market or other asset class to which the derivative is intended to provide exposure, the derivative may not produce the anticipated result. Derivatives can also reduce the opportunity for gain or result in losses by offsetting positive returns in other investments. Derivatives can be less liquid than other types of investments and entail the risk that the counterparty will default on its payment obligations to the Portfolio. If the counterparty to a derivative transaction defaults, the Portfolio would risk the loss of the net amount of the payments that it contractually is entitled to receive. To the extent the Portfolio enters into short derivative positions, the Portfolio may be exposed to risks similar to those associated with short sales, including the risk that the Portfolio&#8217;s losses are theoretically unlimited.</p><p><b><i>Securities Lending Risk.</i></b> The Portfolio may seek to earn additional income through lending its securities to certain qualified broker-dealers and institutions. There is the risk that when portfolio securities are lent, the securities may not be returned on a timely basis, and the Portfolio may experience delays and costs in recovering the security or gaining access to the collateral provided to the Portfolio to collateralize the loan. If the Portfolio is unable to recover a security on loan, the Portfolio may use the collateral to purchase replacement securities in the market. There is a risk that the value of the collateral could decrease below the cost of the replacement security by the time the replacement investment is made, resulting in a loss to the Portfolio.</p><p><i>An investment in the Portfolio is not a bank deposit and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.</i></p>falsefalsefalsefalsefalseOtherus-types:textBlockItemTypestringNarrative Risk Disclosure.

These companies generally fall into two categories:</p><p>&#8226; companies that the portfolio manager believes have or will develop products, processes, or services that will provide significant technological advancements or improvements; and</p><p>&#8226; companies that the portfolio manager believes rely extensively on technology in connection with their operations or services.</p><p>The Portfolio implements this policy by investing primarily in equity securities of U.S. and foreign companies selected for their growth potential. The Portfolio normally invests in issuers from several different countries, which may include the United States. The Portfolio may, under unusual circumstances, invest in a single country. The Portfolio may have significant exposure to emerging markets. The Portfolio may also invest in U.S. and foreign debt securities.</p><p>The portfolio manager applies a &#8220;bottom up&#8221; approach in choosing investments. In other words, the portfolio manager looks at companies one at a time to determine if a company is an attractive investment opportunity and if it is consistent with the Portfolio&#8217;s investment policies.</p><p>The Portfolio may also invest its assets in derivatives, which are instruments that have a value derived from an underlying asset, such as stocks, bonds, commodities, currencies, interest rates, or market indices, as substitutes for securities in which the Portfolio invests. The Portfolio has invested in and may continue to invest in derivative instruments (by taking long and/or short positions), including, but not limited to, put and call options, futures contracts, and forward currency contracts to increase or decrease the Portfolio&#8217;s exposure to a particular market, to manage or adjust the risk profile of the Portfolio, and to earn income and enhance returns.

The Portfolio is designed for long-term investors seeking an equity portfolio, including common stocks. Common stocks tend to be more volatile than many other investment choices.</p><p><b><i>Foreign Exposure Risk.</i></b> The Portfolio normally has significant exposure to foreign markets, including emerging markets, which can be more volatile than the U.S. markets. As a result, its returns and net asset value may be affected to a large degree by fluctuations in currency exchange rates or political or economic conditions in a particular country. A market swing in one or more countries or regions where the Portfolio has invested a significant amount of its assets may have a greater effect on the Portfolio&#8217;s performance than it would in a more geographically diversified portfolio. The Portfolio&#8217;s investments in emerging market countries may involve risks greater than, or in addition to, the risks of investing in more developed countries.</p><p><b><i>Emerging Markets Risk.</i></b> The risks of foreign investing mentioned above are heightened when investing in emerging markets. Emerging markets securities are exposed to a number of additional risks, which may result from less government supervision and regulation of business and industry practices, stock exchanges, brokers, and listed companies, making these investments potentially more volatile in price and less liquid than investments in developed securities markets, resulting in greater risk to investors. In addition, the Portfolio&#8217;s investments may be denominated in foreign currencies and therefore, changes in the value of a country&#8217;s currency compared to the U.S. dollar may affect the value of the Portfolio&#8217;s investments. To the extent that the Portfolio invests a significant portion of its assets in the securities of issuers in or companies of a single country or region, it is more likely to be impacted by events or conditions affecting that country or region which could have a negative impact on the Portfolio&#8217;s performance. Some of the risks of investing directly in foreign and emerging market securities may be reduced when the Portfolio invests indirectly in foreign securities through various other investment vehicles including derivatives, which also involve specialized risks. As of December 31, 2010, approximately 5.3% of the Portfolio&#8217;s investments were in emerging markets.</p><p><b><i>Market Risk.</i></b> The value of the Portfolio&#8217;s holdings may decrease if the value of an individual company or multiple companies in the Portfolio decreases or if the portfolio manager&#8217;s belief about a company&#8217;s intrinsic worth is incorrect. Further, regardless of how well individual companies perform, the value of the Portfolio&#8217;s holdings could also decrease if there are deteriorating economic or market conditions. It is important to understand that the value of your investment may fall, sometimes sharply, in response to changes in the market, and you could lose money.</p><p><b><i>Growth Securities Risk.</i></b> Securities of companies perceived to be &#8220;growth&#8221; companies may be more volatile than other stocks and may involve special risks. The price of a &#8220;growth&#8221; security may be impacted if the company does not realize its anticipated potential or if there is a shift in the market to favor other types of securities.</p><p><b><i>Industry Risk.</i></b> Although the Portfolio does not concentrate its investments in specific industries, it may invest in companies related in such a way that they react similarly to certain market pressures. As a result, the Portfolio&#8217;s returns may be considerably more volatile than the returns of a fund that does not invest in similarly related companies.</p><p><b><i>Derivatives Risk.</i></b> Derivatives can be highly volatile and involve risks in addition to the risks of the underlying referenced securities. Gains or losses from a derivative can be substantially greater than the derivative&#8217;s original cost, and can therefore involve leverage. Derivatives can be complex instruments and may involve analysis that differs from that required for other investment types used by the Portfolio. If the value of a derivative does not correlate well with the particular market or other asset class to which the derivative is intended to provide exposure, the derivative may not produce the anticipated result. Derivatives can also reduce the opportunity for gain or result in losses by offsetting positive returns in other investments. Derivatives can be less liquid than other types of investments and entail the risk that the counterparty will default on its payment obligations to the Portfolio. If the counterparty to a derivative transaction defaults, the Portfolio would risk the loss of the net amount of the payments that it contractually is entitled to receive. To the extent the Portfolio enters into short derivative positions, the Portfolio may be exposed to risks similar to those associated with short sales, including the risk that the Portfolio&#8217;s losses are theoretically unlimited.</p><p><b><i>Securities Lending Risk.</i></b> The Portfolio may seek to earn additional income through lending its securities to certain qualified broker-dealers and institutions. There is the risk that when portfolio securities are lent, the securities may not be returned on a timely basis, and the Portfolio may experience delays and costs in recovering the security or gaining access to the collateral provided to the Portfolio to collateralize the loan. If the Portfolio is unable to recover a security on loan, the Portfolio may use the collateral to purchase replacement securities in the market. There is a risk that the value of the collateral could decrease below the cost of the replacement security by the time the replacement investment is made, resulting in a loss to the Portfolio.</p><p><i>An investment in the Portfolio is not a bank deposit and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.</i></p>falsefalsefalsefalsefalseOtherus-types:textBlockItemTypestringNarrative Risk Disclosure.

The Portfolio&#8217;s Service II Shares commenced operations on December 31, 2001. The returns shown for the Service II Shares for periods prior to December 31, 2001 reflect the historical performance of a different class of shares (the Institutional Shares), restated based on the Service II Shares&#8217; estimated fees and expenses (ignoring any fee and expense limitations). The bar chart depicts the change in performance from year to year during the periods indicated, but does not include charges or expenses attributable to any insurance product, which would lower the performance illustrated. The Portfolio does not impose any sales or other charges that would affect total return computations. Total return figures include the effect of the Portfolio&#8217;s expenses, but do not take into account the 1.00% redemption fee (on interests held in separate accounts or plans for 60 days or less). The table compares the average annual returns for the Service II Shares of the Portfolio for the periods indicated to broad-based securities market indices. The indices are not actively managed and are not available for direct investment. All figures assume reinvestment of dividends and distributions. For certain periods, the Portfolio&#8217;s performance reflects the effect of expense waivers. Without the effect of these expense waivers, the performance shown would have been lower.</p><p><i>The Portfolio&#8217;s past performance does not necessarily indicate how it will perform in the future.

The Portfolio primarily invests in the common stocks of mid-sized companies whose stock prices the portfolio managers believe to be undervalued. The Portfolio invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets in equity securities of companies whose market capitalization falls, at the time of purchase, within the 12-month average of the capitalization range of the Russell Midcap^&#174; Value Index. This average is updated monthly. The market capitalizations within the index will vary, but as of December 31, 2010, they ranged from approximately $251 million to $17.2 billion. The Portfolio may also invest in foreign equity and debt securities, which may include investments in emerging markets.</p> <p>The Portfolio focuses on companies that have fallen out of favor with the market or that appear to be temporarily misunderstood by the investment community. The Portfolio&#8217;s portfolio managers generally look for companies with:</p> <p>&#8226; a low price relative to their assets, earnings, cash flow, or business franchise</p> <p>&#8226; products and services that give them a competitive advantage</p> <p>&#8226; quality balance sheets and strong management</p> <p>The Portfolio may also invest its assets in derivatives, which are instruments that have a value derived from an underlying asset, such as stocks, bonds, commodities, currencies, interest rates, or market indices, as substitutes for securities in which the Portfolio invests. The Portfolio has invested in and may continue to invest in derivative instruments (by taking long and/or short positions) including, but not limited to, put and call options, particularly on market indices, for hedging purposes (to offset risks associated with an investment, currency exposure or market conditions). The Portfolio may invest in other types of derivatives and may do so for other purposes including to earn income and enhance returns. The Portfolio&#8217;s exposure to derivatives will vary, is not limited to those derivatives listed, and could be significant at times.</p> <p>The Portfolio may lend portfolio securities on a short-term or long-term basis, in an amount equal to up to 1/3 of its total assets as determined at the time of the loan origination.</p>falsefalsefalsefalsefalseOtherus-types:textBlockItemTypestringPrincipal investment strategies of the Fund.

The Portfolio is designed for long-term investors seeking an equity portfolio, including common stocks. Common stocks tend to be more volatile than many other investment choices.</p> <p><b><i>Value Investing Risk.</i></b> Because different types of stocks tend to shift in and out of favor depending on market and economic conditions, "value" stocks may perform differently than other types of stocks and from the market as a whole, and can continue to be undervalued by the market for long periods of time. It is also possible that a value stock will never appreciate to the extent expected.</p> <p><b><i>Market Risk.</i></b> The value of the Portfolio's holdings may decrease if the value of an individual company or multiple companies in the Portfolio decreases or if the portfolio managers&#8217; belief about a company&#8217;s intrinsic worth is incorrect. Further, regardless of how well individual companies perform, the value of the Portfolio's holdings could also decrease if there are deteriorating economic or market conditions. It is important to understand that the value of your investment may fall, sometimes sharply, in response to changes in the market, and you could lose money.</p> <p><b><i>Mid-Sized Companies Risk.</i></b> The Portfolio's investments in securities issued by mid-sized companies may involve greater risks than are customarily associated with larger, more established companies. Securities issued by mid-sized companies tend to be more volatile than securities issued by larger or more established companies and may underperform as compared to the securities of larger companies.</p> <p><b><i>Foreign Exposure Risk.</i></b> The Portfolio may have significant exposure to foreign markets, including emerging markets, which can be more volatile than the U.S. markets. As a result, its returns and net asset value may be affected to a large degree by fluctuations in currency exchange rates or political or economic conditions in a particular country. A market swing in one or more countries or regions where the Portfolio has invested a significant amount of its assets may have a greater effect on the Portfolio&#8217;s performance than it would in a more geographically diversified portfolio. The Portfolio&#8217;s investments in emerging market countries may involve risks greater than, or in addition to, the risks of investing in more developed countries.</p> <p><b><i>Derivatives Risk.</i></b> Derivatives can be highly volatile and involve risks in addition to the risks of the underlying referenced securities. Gains or losses from a derivative can be substantially greater than the derivative&#8217;s original cost, and can therefore involve leverage. Derivatives can be less liquid than other types of investments and entail the risk that the counterparty will default on its payment obligations to the Portfolio.</p> <p><b><i>Securities Lending Risk.</i></b> The Portfolio may seek to earn additional income through lending its securities to certain qualified broker-dealers and institutions. There is the risk that when portfolio securities are lent, the securities may not be returned on a timely basis, and the Portfolio may experience delays and costs in recovering the security or gaining access to the collateral provided to the Portfolio to collateralize the loan. If the Portfolio is unable to recover a security on loan, the Portfolio may use the collateral to purchase replacement securities in the market. There is a risk that the value of the collateral could decrease below the cost of the replacement security by the time the replacement investment is made, resulting in a loss to the Portfolio.</p> <p><i>An investment in the Portfolio is not a bank deposit and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.</i></p>falsefalsefalsefalsefalseOtherus-types:textBlockItemTypestringNarrative Risk Disclosure.

In a footnote to the fee table, state that the table and Example reflect the expenses of both the Feeder and Master Funds. If the prospectus offers more than one Class of a Multiple Class Fund or more than one Feeder Fund that invests in the same Master Fund, provide a separate response for each Class or Feeder Fund. Base the percentages of "Annual Fund Operating Expenses" on amounts incurred during the Fund's most recent fiscal year, but include in expenses amounts that would have been incurred absent expense reimbursement or fee waiver arrangements.

Shareholder Fees (fees paid directly from your investment) Example This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then you redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return per year and that the Fund's operating expenses remained the same.

If these sales charges (loads) were included, your costs would be higher. 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 may indicate higher transaction costs. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was __% of the average value of its whole portfolio. Instructions. A.3.instructions.6 New Funds.

The Portfolio primarily invests in the common stocks of mid-sized companies whose stock prices the portfolio managers believe to be undervalued. The Portfolio invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets in equity securities of companies whose market capitalization falls, at the time of purchase, within the 12-month average of the capitalization range of the Russell Midcap&#174; Value Index. This average is updated monthly. The market capitalizations within the index will vary, but as of December 31, 2010, they ranged from approximately $251 million to $17.2 billion. The Portfolio may also invest in foreign equity and debt securities, which may include investments in emerging markets.</p><p>The Portfolio focuses on companies that have fallen out of favor with the market or that appear to be temporarily misunderstood by the investment community. The Portfolio&#8217;s portfolio managers generally look for companies with:</p><p>&#8226; a low price relative to their assets, earnings, cash flow, or business franchise</p><p>&#8226; products and services that give them a competitive advantage</p><p>&#8226; quality balance sheets and strong management</p><p>The Portfolio may also invest its assets in derivatives, which are instruments that have a value derived from an underlying asset, such as stocks, bonds, commodities, currencies, interest rates, or market indices, as substitutes for securities in which the Portfolio invests. The Portfolio has invested in and may continue to invest in derivative instruments (by taking long and/or short positions) including, but not limited to, put and call options, particularly on market indices, for hedging purposes (to offset risks associated with an investment, currency exposure or market conditions). The Portfolio may invest in other types of derivatives and may do so for other purposes including to earn income and enhance returns. The Portfolio&#8217;s exposure to derivatives will vary, is not limited to those derivatives listed, and could be significant at times.</p><p>The Portfolio may lend portfolio securities on a short-term or long-term basis, in an amount equal to up to 1/3 of its total assets as determined at the time of the loan origination.</p>falsefalsefalsefalsefalseOtherus-types:textBlockItemTypestringPrincipal investment strategies of the Fund.

The Portfolio is designed for long-term investors seeking an equity portfolio, including common stocks. Common stocks tend to be more volatile than many other investment choices.</p><p><b><i>Value Investing Risk.</i></b> Because different types of stocks tend to shift in and out of favor depending on market and economic conditions, &#8220;value&#8221; stocks may perform differently than other types of stocks and from the market as a whole, and can continue to be undervalued by the market for long periods of time. It is also possible that a value stock will never appreciate to the extent expected.</p><p><b><i>Market Risk.</i></b> The value of the Portfolio&#8217;s holdings may decrease if the value of an individual company or multiple companies in the Portfolio decreases or if the portfolio managers&#8217; belief about a company&#8217;s intrinsic worth is incorrect. Further, regardless of how well individual companies perform, the value of the Portfolio&#8217;s holdings could also decrease if there are deteriorating economic or market conditions. It is important to understand that the value of your investment may fall, sometimes sharply, in response to changes in the market, and you could lose money.</p><p><b><i>Mid-Sized Companies Risk.</i></b> The Portfolio&#8217;s investments in securities issued by mid-sized companies may involve greater risks than are customarily associated with larger, more established companies. Securities issued by mid-sized companies tend to be more volatile than securities issued by larger or more established companies and may underperform as compared to the securities of larger companies.</p><p><b><i>Foreign Exposure Risk.</i></b> The Portfolio may have significant exposure to foreign markets, including emerging markets, which can be more volatile than the U.S. markets. As a result, its returns and net asset value may be affected to a large degree by fluctuations in currency exchange rates or political or economic conditions in a particular country. A market swing in one or more countries or regions where the Portfolio has invested a significant amount of its assets may have a greater effect on the Portfolio&#8217;s performance than it would in a more geographically diversified portfolio. The Portfolio&#8217;s investments in emerging market countries may involve risks greater than, or in addition to, the risks of investing in more developed countries.</p><p><b><i>Derivatives Risk.</i></b> Derivatives can be highly volatile and involve risks in addition to the risks of the underlying referenced securities. Gains or losses from a derivative can be substantially greater than the derivative&#8217;s original cost, and can therefore involve leverage. Derivatives can be less liquid than other types of investments and entail the risk that the counterparty will default on its payment obligations to the Portfolio.</p><p><b><i>Securities Lending Risk.</i></b> The Portfolio may seek to earn additional income through lending its securities to certain qualified broker-dealers and institutions. There is the risk that when portfolio securities are lent, the securities may not be returned on a timely basis, and the Portfolio may experience delays and costs in recovering the security or gaining access to the collateral provided to the Portfolio to collateralize the loan. If the Portfolio is unable to recover a security on loan, the Portfolio may use the collateral to purchase replacement securities in the market. There is a risk that the value of the collateral could decrease below the cost of the replacement security by the time the replacement investment is made, resulting in a loss to the Portfolio.</p><p><i>An investment in the Portfolio is not a bank deposit and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.</i></p>falsefalsefalsefalsefalseOtherus-types:textBlockItemTypestringNarrative Risk Disclosure.

If extraordinary expenses were incurred that materially affected the Fund's "Other Expenses," disclose in a footnote to the table what "Other Expenses" would have been had the extraordinary expenses been included.Reference 1: 1 -Publisher SEC -Name Form -Number N-1A -Chapter A -Section 3 -Paragraph 3 -Subparagraph c -Clause i -Subsection instructions falsefalseOther Expenses2481false0rr_ExpensesOverAssetsrrfalsenadurationNo definition available.falsefalsefalsefalsefalsefalsefalsefalsefalsefalseverboselabel1truetruetrue0.01270.0127falsefalsefalsefalsefalseOtherrr:NonNegativePure4TypepureTotal Annual Fund Operating Expenses. If the Fund is a Feeder Fund, reflect the aggregate expenses of the Feeder Fund and the Master Fund in a single fee table using the captions provided. In a footnote to the fee table, state that the table and Example reflect the expenses of both the Feeder and Master Funds. If the prospectus offers more than one Class of a Multiple Class Fund or more than one Feeder Fund that invests in the same Master Fund, provide a separate response for each Class or Feeder Fund. Base the percentages of "Annual Fund Operating Expenses" on amounts incurred during the Fund's most recent fiscal year, but include in expenses amounts that would have been incurred absent expense reimbursement or fee waiver arrangements. If the Fund has changed its fiscal year and, as a result, the most recent fiscal year is less than three months, use the fiscal year prior to the most recent fiscal year as the basis for determining "Annual Fund Operating Expenses."Reference 1: 1 -Publisher SEC -Name Form -Number N-1A -Chapter A -Section 3 -Paragraph 3 -Subparagraph d -Subsection instructions falsefalseTotal Annual Fund Operating Expenses2482true0rr_ExpenseExampleAbstractrrfalsenadurationNo definition available.falsefalsefalsefalsefalsefalsefalsefalsefalsefalseverboselabel1falsefalsefalse00falsefalsefalsefalsefalseOtherxbrli:stringItemTypestringNo definition available.falsefalseEXAMPLE:2483false0rr_ExpenseExampleByYearColumnNamerrfalsenadurationNo definition available.falsefalsefalsefalsefalsefalsefalsefalsefalsefalse1falsefalsefalse00Service SharesfalsefalsefalsefalsefalseOtherus-types:textBlockItemTypestringThe Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then you redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods.

If these sales charges (loads) were included, your costs would be higher. 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 may indicate higher transaction costs. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was __% of the average value of its whole portfolio. Instructions. A.3.instructions.6 New Funds.

Because it invests in other funds, the Portfolio is considered a &#8220;fund of funds.&#8221; The Portfolio utilizes Janus Capital&#8217;s proprietary process to allocate assets across the following three asset categories (as defined by Janus Capital):</p><p>&#8226; <i>Core &#8211;</i> The Core category seeks to provide market-like exposure by investing in funds that in turn primarily invest in a broad range of traditional asset classes such as large-, mid-, and small-cap stocks, U.S. and non-U.S. stocks, growth and value stocks, and investment-grade bonds. While not a primary strategy, the underlying funds may also invest in emerging market stocks and high-yield bonds. A primary goal of the underlying funds in the Core category is to provide shareholders with access to a broad range of investable assets in proportion to each asset class&#8217; representation in today&#8217;s global, integrated market as determined by Janus Capital.</p><p>&#8226; <i>Alpha &#8211;</i> The Alpha category seeks to generate higher-than-market returns on a risk-adjusted basis by investing in funds that in turn invest in a broad range of traditional asset classes such as large-, mid-, and small-cap stocks, U.S. and non-U.S. stocks, growth and value stocks, emerging market stocks, investment-grade bonds, and high-yield bonds. Unlike funds in the Core category, the Alpha category is less focused on the asset class composition of the global market. Instead, the Alpha category is comprised of underlying funds, unconstrained by asset class or investment style, that Janus Capital believes may generate higher-than-market returns over a market cycle.</p><p>&#8226; <i>Alternative &#8211;</i> The Alternative category is comprised of non-traditional investments with historically low correlation to the assets in the Core and Alpha categories, such as certain exchange-traded funds (&#8220;ETFs&#8221;), exchange-traded notes (&#8220;ETNs&#8221;), investments with hedge fund strategy exposure, commodities-related securities, real estate-related securities, and structured products.</p><p>The Portfolio attempts to maximize returns by investing the Portfolio&#8217;s assets in underlying funds investing in stocks (U.S. and non-U.S.), bonds, cash equivalents, alternative asset classes (such as real estate-related securities and commodity-related securities), and alternative investment strategies (such as leveraged and sector-based strategies). The target allocation of the Portfolio&#8217;s assets among underlying funds is based on an optimization process that utilizes quantitative analysis of a number of factors, such as historical risk, performance, fund classifications, and the relationship among underlying funds, as well as the portfolio manager&#8217;s judgment. Janus Capital analyzes Portfolio allocations on a regular basis in order to integrate current market data and reallocates on a quarterly basis.</p><p>The Portfolio&#8217;s portfolio manager determines the overall composition of the Portfolio, oversees the investment process, and is responsible for the day-to-day management of the Portfolio. The portfolio manager consults with a committee comprised of Janus Capital investment professionals (&#8220;Asset Allocation Committee&#8221;) to regularly review the process and the allocation of the Portfolio&#8217;s assets among the underlying funds to determine modifications to the underlying funds&#8217; asset categories and/or weightings, or to substitute other underlying funds to emphasize and mitigate risk exposures that may arise as a result of the implementation of the allocations. The portfolio manager and Asset Allocation Committee normally review asset allocations on a quarterly basis. The portfolio manager oversees the implementation of trades on behalf of the Portfolio.</p><p>The Portfolio&#8217;s investments will be rebalanced to the identified optimal weightings on a quarterly basis, although more frequent changes can occur. The Portfolio&#8217;s asset class or category, category allocations, underlying funds, or underlying fund weightings may change without prior shareholder notice.</p><p>The Portfolio will normally allocate approximately 90% of its assets to Janus-managed mutual funds and approximately 10% to unaffiliated pooled investment vehicles (e.g., ETFs) and derivatives. For information on the potential underlying Janus funds currently available for investment by the Portfolio, including investment objectives and strategies, see &#8220;Investment Objectives and Strategies of the Underlying Funds&#8221; in Appendix A.</p><p>The Portfolio may invest in ETFs and ETNs to complement its investment in the underlying funds if there are asset classes not covered by the underlying funds or to better manage cash positions.</p><p>The Portfolio may invest its assets in derivatives, which are instruments that have a value derived from an underlying asset, such as stocks, bonds, commodities, currencies, interest rates, or market indices, as substitutes for securities in which the Portfolio invests. The Portfolio may invest in derivative instruments (by taking long and/or short positions) including, but not limited to, swap agreements to earn income and enhance uncorrelated returns, to increase or decrease exposure to a particular market, to manage or adjust the risk profile of the Portfolio, or as alternatives to direct investments.</p><p>When market conditions dictate a more defensive strategy, the Portfolio or an underlying fund may temporarily hold cash or invest its assets in temporary investments. In that case, the Portfolio may take positions that are inconsistent with its investment objective.

The Portfolio is designed for long-term investors seeking growth of capital and, to a lesser extent, income. Investments in a portfolio with common stock and alternative investment exposure tend to be more volatile than many other investment choices.</p><p><b>Main Risks Associated with the Portfolio</b></p><p><b><i>Allocation Risk.</i></b> The Portfolio&#8217;s ability to achieve its investment objective depends largely upon Janus Capital&#8217;s allocation of assets among the underlying funds and other securities, using the optimization process and the judgment of the portfolio manager. You could lose money on your investment in the Portfolio as a result of these allocations. The Portfolio will typically invest in a number of different underlying funds; however, to the extent that the Portfolio invests a significant portion of its assets in a single underlying fund, it will be more sensitive to the risks associated with that fund and any investments in which that fund concentrates.</p><p><b><i>Derivatives Risk.</i></b> The Portfolio and certain underlying funds may invest in derivatives. Derivatives can be highly volatile and involve risks in addition to the risks of the underlying referenced securities. Gains or losses from a derivative can be substantially greater than the derivative&#8217;s original cost, and can therefore involve leverage. Derivatives can be less liquid than other types of investments and entail the risk that the counterparty will default on its payment obligations to the Portfolio.</p><p><b><i>Commodity-Linked Derivative Investment Risk.</i></b> The Portfolio may invest in derivatives that have exposure to the commodities markets. This exposure may subject the Portfolio to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities. The value of a commodity-linked derivative investment typically is based upon the price movements of a physical commodity (such as heating oil, livestock, or agricultural products), a commodity futures contract or commodity index, or some other readily measurable economic variable. The value of commodity-linked derivative instruments may therefore be affected by changes in overall market movements, volatility of the underlying benchmark, changes in interest rates, or other factors affecting a particular industry or commodity such as drought, floods, weather, livestock disease, embargoes, tariffs, and international economic, political, and regulatory developments.</p><p><b><i>Exchange-Traded Funds Risk.</i></b> The Portfolio may purchase shares of ETFs to gain exposure to a particular portion of the market. ETFs are pooled investment vehicles, which may be managed or unmanaged, that generally seek to track the performance of a specific index. ETFs are traded on an exchange at market prices that may vary from the net asset value of their underlying investments. When the Portfolio invests in an ETF, in addition to directly bearing the expenses associated with its own operations, it will bear a pro rata portion of the ETF&#8217;s expenses. ETFs have certain inherent risks generally associated with investments in a portfolio of common stocks, including the risk that the general level of stock prices may decline, thereby adversely affecting the value of each unit of the ETF. ETFs also involve the risk that an active trading market for an ETF&#8217;s shares may not develop or be maintained.</p><p><b><i>Exchange-Traded Notes Risk.</i></b> The Portfolio may invest in ETNs, which are debt securities whose returns are linked to a particular index. ETNs are typically linked to the performance of a commodities index that reflects the potential return on unleveraged investments in futures contracts of physical commodities, plus a specified rate of interest that could be earned on cash collateral. ETNs are subject to credit risk. The value of an ETN may vary and may be influenced by time to maturity, level of supply and demand for the ETN, volatility and lack of liquidity in underlying commodities markets, changes in the applicable interest rates, changes in the issuer&#8217;s credit rating, and economic, legal, political, or geographic events that affect the referenced commodity. When the Portfolio invests in ETNs it will bear its proportionate share of any fees and expenses borne by the ETN. There may be restrictions on the Portfolio&#8217;s right to redeem its investment in an ETN, which is meant to be held until maturity. The Portfolio&#8217;s decision to sell its ETN holdings may be limited by the availability of a secondary market.</p><p><b><i>Affiliated Fund Risk.</i></b> Janus Capital has the authority to select and substitute underlying affiliated mutual funds. The fees paid to Janus Capital by some Janus funds are generally higher than the fees paid to Janus Capital by the Portfolio or by other funds and share classes available for investment by the Portfolio. These conditions may create a conflict of interest when selecting underlying affiliated mutual funds and share classes for investment. Janus Capital, however, is a fiduciary to the Portfolio and its shareholders and is legally obligated to act in their best interest when selecting underlying affiliated mutual funds.</p><p><b>Main Risks Associated with the Underlying Funds and Securities</b></p><p>The biggest risk is that the underlying funds&#8217; returns will vary, and you could lose money.</p><p><b><i>Market Risk.</i></b> Underlying funds investing in equity securities are subject to the risks associated with investments in common stocks, which tend to be more volatile than many other investment choices. The value of an underlying fund&#8217;s portfolio may decrease if the value of an individual company or multiple companies in the portfolio decreases or if a portfolio manager&#8217;s belief about a company&#8217;s intrinsic worth is incorrect. Further, regardless of how well individual companies perform, the value of an underlying fund&#8217;s portfolio could also decrease if there are deteriorating economic or market conditions. It is important to understand that the value of your investment may fall, sometimes sharply, in response to changes in the market, and you could lose money.</p><p><b><i>Fixed-Income Securities Risk.</i></b> Through the Portfolio&#8217;s investments in underlying funds holding fixed-income securities, the Portfolio is subject to the risks associated with investments in a variety of fixed-income securities, which may be less volatile than underlying funds that invest most of their assets in common stocks; returns and yields will vary, and you could lose money. Typically, the values of fixed-income securities change inversely with prevailing interest rates. Therefore, a fundamental risk of fixed-income securities is interest rate risk, which is the risk that their value will generally decline as prevailing interest rates rise, which may cause an underlying fund&#8217;s net asset value to likewise decrease, and vice versa. How specific fixed-income securities may react to changes in interest rates will depend on the specific characteristics of each security. Fixed-income securities are also subject to credit risk, prepayment risk, valuation risk, and liquidity risk.</p><p><b><i>Foreign Exposure Risk.</i></b> The Portfolio and certain underlying funds may have significant exposure to foreign markets, including emerging markets, which can be more volatile than the U.S. markets. As a result, the underlying fund&#8217;s returns and net asset value, as well as the Portfolio&#8217;s returns and net asset value may be affected to a large degree by fluctuations in currency exchange rates or political or economic conditions in a particular country. A market swing in one or more countries or regions where the Portfolio or an underlying fund has invested a significant amount of its assets may have a greater effect on the Portfolio&#8217;s performance than it would in a more geographically diversified portfolio. Investments in emerging market countries may involve risks greater than, or in addition to, the risks of investing in more developed countries.</p><p><b><i>Emerging Markets Risk.</i></b> The risks of foreign investing mentioned above are heightened when investing in emerging markets. Emerging markets securities are exposed to a number of additional risks, which may result from less government supervision and regulation of business and industry practices, stock exchanges, brokers, and listed companies, making these investments potentially more volatile in price and less liquid than investments in developed securities markets, resulting in greater risk to investors. In addition, the Portfolio&#8217;s or an underlying fund&#8217;s investments may be denominated in foreign currencies and therefore, changes in the value of a country&#8217;s currency compared to the U.S. dollar may affect the value of the Portfolio&#8217;s or an underlying fund&#8217;s investments. To the extent that the Portfolio or an underlying fund invests a significant portion of its assets in the securities of issuers in or companies of a single country or region, it is more likely to be impacted by events or conditions affecting that country or region which could have a negative impact on the Portfolio&#8217;s performance. Some of the risks of investing directly in foreign and emerging market securities may be reduced when the Portfolio or an underlying fund invests indirectly in foreign securities through various other investment vehicles including derivatives, which also involve specialized risks.</p><p><b><i>Mortgage-Backed Securities Risk.</i></b> Mortgage-backed securities tend to be more sensitive to changes in interest rates than other types of securities. Investments in mortgage-backed securities are subject to both extension risk, where borrowers extend the duration of their mortgages in times of rising interest rates, and prepayment risk, where borrowers pay off their mortgages sooner than expected in times of declining interest rates. These risks may reduce the Portfolio&#8217;s returns. In addition, investments in mortgage-backed securities, including those comprised of subprime mortgages, may be subject to a higher degree of credit risk, valuation risk, and liquidity risk than various other types of fixed-income securities.</p><p><b><i>Securities Lending Risk.</i></b> Certain underlying funds may seek to earn additional income through lending their securities to certain qualified broker-dealers and institutions. There is the risk that when portfolio securities are lent, the securities may not be returned on a timely basis, and the underlying fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the security or gaining access to the collateral provided to collateralize the loan. If the underlying fund is unable to recover a security on loan, the underlying fund may use the collateral to purchase replacement securities in the market. There is a risk that the value of the collateral could decrease below the cost of the replacement security by the time the replacement investment is made, resulting in a loss to the underlying fund.</p><p><i>An investment in the Portfolio is not a bank deposit and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.</i></p>falsefalsefalsefalsefalseOtherus-types:textBlockItemTypestringNarrative Risk Disclosure.
